[ scene_break ] lulu : i already let you guys guilt me into wearing an elf costume for the hospital christmas party . that 's as far as my public service goes , especially when you 're throwing bedpans in the mix . dillon : i 'm begging you , just one thing . lulu : why ? dillon : just do this -- lulu : because tracy says so ? no , thank you . she 's your mom , not mine . dillon : yeah , ok , fine . get yourself into more trouble with the family . lulu : your family , not mine . dillon : all right , ok , then do it for me . it 'll be a huge favor . lulu : you just do n't want to be stuck babysitting me . it 's ok . i 'm used to not being wanted . dillon : hey , i 'm sorry . can we not turn this into a pity party for poor , abandoned lulu ? sometimes it 's ok to help people who need stuff . lulu : oh , well , i do n't see you signing up . dillon : this is n't about me , lulu . lulu : yes , it is about you , appeasing your mother so that she 'll start paying for your dorm room again . dillon : yes , yes , it is , ok ? and you should be , like , right onboard with that because it means we do n't have to be siamese twins . now , you ca n't convince me that you like that idea any more than i do . elizabeth : hey . i hear you 're going to be our newest volunteer . lulu : i 'd rather stick forks in my eyes . [ scene_break ] kristina : thank you very much . jax : ooh , that looks good . yeah . ric : you know , just to quote somebody we all know and love , you -- `` if you do n't put the soap back in the dish , and i will hurt you . you eat the last of the ice cream , and i promise you that 'll be the last thing that you ever do , `` and of course , the ever popular , you know , `` if you do n't put the cap back on the toothpaste , then i 'm going to -- `` alexis : `` i 'll kill you . `` ric : `` kill you , `` right . alexis : i was just kidding . ric : i know that . alexis : i did n't know she heard me . all right . so she 's saddled with a horrible mother . ric : no , alexis , that 's not what i 'm saying , ok ? you 're missing the point . you 're not a horrible mother . you say things or do n't say things sometimes and , you know , kids pick up on it . i just think -- i think it 's our job as parents to communicate to the kids , help them to differentiate everything . and you do have tunnel vision when it comes to sonny . i do , too , all right ? but i just do n't think that all of the evil in the world springs from my brother and those he hangs out with . bottom line is it 's a kid 's party .

[ scene_break ] ric : look , ultimately it 's your decision , ok ? you 're her mother , you know best . i 'm just trying to get you to lighten up a little bit , you know ? on everybody , but mostly on yourself because if you do n't , you know you 're going to set the stage for later on and it 's -- there 'll be no peace at all . sonny 's going to do everything that he can to try to integrate kristina into his life , and that eventually you know is going to involve carly . now , short of another custody battle , alexis , i do n't think there 's much we can do . alexis : you 're -- you 're right . now , you know , when kristina 's over there , carly is going to badmouth me , and especially now that she thinks i 'm defending manny to get back at sonny . ric : you know , i think even carly has enough sense to not badmouth you in front of your own daughter . alexis : i think you 're being naive . carly has despised me for a long time because i had the audacity to be attracted to sonny . that is a sure - fire way to end up at the top of her hit list . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] emily : michael ? hi . i -- i saw your light . you mind if i come in for a second ? i just wanted to explain what happened . michael : when ? emily : uh , tonight , before . see , the heat went out in the guesthouse , so i tried to build a fire . michael : oh , no . emily : yeah -- no , exactly . i 'm the world 's worst fire starter , so i wound up covered in soot . michael : i wish i had seen that . emily : oh , trust me , you 'd still be laughing . anyway , the hot water was out , too , so i came over to take a shower . and your dad invited me to spend the night , so i accepted and i showered . but i forgot my brush in the bathroom , so i -- i wrapped myself up in the towel i had and headed for the bathroom at the same time that your dad came out of his room in his own towel after taking his own shower on the way downstairs . michael : i know . that 's what he said . emily : ok , i just wanted to make sure that you did n't have any questions . michael : like what kind of questions ? emily : you know what ? just forget i brought it up . i 'm , you know , just being silly . michael : ok . emily : ok . do n't stay up too late , all right michael : i wo n't . emily : yeah . michael : em ? emily : uh - huh ? michael : in the morning , can we have waffles ? emily : yeah -- waffles . ok . [ scene_break ] sonny : ooh . you 're still up ? emily : yeah , there 's a lot of that going around . i saw michael 's light was still on , so i went in to explain what happened earlier , and i think i ended up -- i do n't know -- more confused than he was . sonny : well , that does n't surprise me . i mean , you know , michael -- as smart as michael is , there 's no way he can tell that there 's anything going on between us . [ scene_break ] patrick : i have to admit , i 'm a little shocked by the way you talked to robin , considering she is h.i.v.-positive . carly : ok , what ? so you think i should have handled her with kid gloves ? i 'm sorry , i do n't do politically correct . i call them as i see them . i have compassion for her , ok ? i do . robin 's situation is tragic . but that does n't give her a right to pass moral judgment on other people , and she always does that . and if your life gets blown up in the process , she does n't care . patrick : ok , well , maybe robin 's overcompensating . maybe she feels judged for having h.i.v . maybe she 's trying to maintain control over anything she can . i would think you could understand . you seem to know what it 's like to have something to prove . [ phone rings ] michael : hello ? carly : hey , honey . it 's me . hope i did n't wake you . michael : no , i was reading . are you ok ? carly : yeah , sure . why ? michael : you sound funny . carly : oh , i just -- i just miss you . i miss you so much , and i wanted to talk to someone i love who loves me back . michael : i love you , mom . carly : i love you , too . i love you so much . but you should n't be up this late reading . go to bed . michael : well , i was about to turn out the light , but emily came in . carly : emily ? michael : yeah . carly : i thought she was staying in the guesthouse . michael : not tonight . emily and dad got stuck in the hall wearing towels . [ scene_break ] emily : i wanted to make sure that michael was n't confused by what he saw but -- you know , picking up on something between us . there is nothing between us , at least not in that way . sonny : no . i mean , people are making this big deal about us , but we 're just friends . i guess it has to -- i got a certain reputation and a history that goes back with women . i used to be the owner of -- i do n't even want to say it . it 's kind of embarrassing . but i used to be the owner of a strip joint . and people make assumptions . you know , misinterpretation happens . you 're a beautiful woman . you 're launching a medical career . the truth is , i should n't have had you stay here tonight . emily : well , you know , there was no heat , no hot water . sonny : yeah , but i should have sent you -- i should have sent you home to the quartermaines . emily : well , it 's not too late if that 's what you want . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : could i steal her for a couple minutes ? dillon : long as it takes . lulu : ok , before you start , why should i be tracy 's windup toy just so i can get her off my back ? elizabeth : you should n't . you should do it because you want to help . and who knows , maybe you 'll even help yourself . ok , look , little miss , i 've known you for a very long time , and i know that you have n't had it easy -- your mom being in a mental hospital and your dad taking off , and you being left on your grandmother 's front doorstep and basically being left to find your own way . and you feel sorry for yourself , and you should . you deserve to -- to a certain extent . but then after that , the `` poor me `` routine gets a little old . lulu : ok , so in other words , you think i 'm a selfish brat , just like everyone else ? elizabeth : well , you are , but that 's not where i 'm going . i know where you 've been . you know , we 've talked about it . i 'm going to share something with you that i 've learned along the way . the best way to feel good about what you have is to surround yourself with people who have a lot less . for instance , the patients in this hospital . some of them would give anything to be able to get out of bed and just walk over to a window . or they feel like they 've had a great day if they have n't lost their lunch . you 're in a position to make a difference . and it 'll come back to you . so what do you say ? want to give it a shot ? [ scene_break ] maxie : this place is unbelievable . jesse : i had a feeling you might like it . maxie : i 'm starving . on the other hand , i 'm really not that hungry . jesse : good . me , either . maxie : maybe we could share an entree . jesse : or a salad . maxie : jesse , it 's really sweet that you brought me here , but i do like pizza . we could leave if you want . jesse : no . tonight is going to be special . maxie : i 'm flattered you want to spend your whole paycheck on me , but what makes tonight special is being with you .

[ glasses clink ] [ acoustic guitar playing ] man : like a rose robin : mmm . man : losing its thorns , you came to me , and i was so scared , just the thought made me weep , you placed your hands in mine , i gently closed my eyes , your lips touched my lips , oh , i felt so alive , my first , my last , my always , my sweetest kiss , sweetest kiss , do you remember on and on , the first time ? listenin ' to `` satellite , `` it got awkward when dave hit that last rhyme , but something happened then , hit me stronger than anything i wished or ever will again , my first , my last , my always , my sweetest kiss patrick : i ca n't believe we 've been married a year . [ robin chuckles ] robin : i was just thinking that -- the night alan told me i was hiv - positive , i never thought having anything like this was possible . [ sighs ] i never thought i would marry a handsome , brilliant doctor . i never thought i would have a beautiful , remarkable daughter . i let go of all those dreams . and then , look what happened . i mean , really , my life is a miracle , and so much of that is because i was smart enough to fall in love with you . i 'm so grateful for you , my husband , for your patience and your understanding and for that stubborn streak that made you stick it out when i was trying my hardest to push you away . i love my life . and i love you . patrick : you know , this is -- this is a perfect one - year anniversary , but -- robin : hmm . patrick : we 're missing one thing . [ scene_break ] lulu : what do you think ? maxie : i 'm not sure . turn around . hmm . lulu : not good ? maxie : i think you should try the evan mcclain . lulu : oh , this is so stupid , trying on a thousand dresses when i do n't even know where i 'm going . i 'm going to call dominic and cancel . maxie : okay . if you actually make that phone call , i promise i will give you my ridiculously expensive bronzino handbag . lulu : you 're so annoying . maxie : yep . and you got bit by the love bug . [ lulu scoffs ] lulu : so , are you gearing up to tell me to stay away from dominic again ? maxie : no . why continue to beat my head against a brick wall ? i 'm just going to tell you to proceed with caution , because whether or not you 're willing to admit it right now , you are invested . lulu : i have no doubt that things are going to fall apart anyway . they always do . once you think you 've got it made with someone , something goes horribly and irretrievably wrong . and i 'm not expecting me and dominic -- yes . i 'm starting to think there 's a me and dominic . but i 'm not expecting that we 'll be any different . so whatever does tear us apart , it wo n't be because he 's a liar and a cheat , and it wo n't be because he 's using me or trying to hurt me . so that 's consoling , i guess . [ scene_break ] dominic : well , as you can see , ms. falconeri , johnny 's not here right now . so maybe i can walk you somewhere else ? olivia : if it 's just the same , i think i 'll wait . sonny : so , what it is , i have business interest in puerto rico , and i go there once a year so i can relax and have the sun -- lisa : oh , i bet i know where -- the matador resort . sonny : you 've been -- lisa : of course . it 's one of the best spas anywhere . sonny : you know what ? i love the barefoot shiatsu . you go in there , and you get -- lisa : you do spa treatments ? sonny : oh , what , men are n't allowed ? lisa : no . i think it 's great . it 's just that most men do n't . i guess they 're not macho enough . sonny : well , i 'm very comfortable in my sensitivity . lisa : oh , really ? sonny : yeah . [ lisa laughs ] dominic : maybe you should wait for johnny somewhere else . olivia : and why would i do that ? this is where we were supposed to meet , right here , and he 's on his way . dominic : okay . but maybe you do n't want to have any confrontation . olivia : i 'm just fine . why do n't you run along ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : all right . your sisters are very impressionable , right ? and for some reason , they have projected something into mac and me , and i -- i need you to explain to them that , unfortunately , nothing is ever going to happen between the two of us . i think of him as a friend . he 's my colleague . molly : i object . kristina : sustained . alexis : hey -- hey ! oh , my god . you sneaky little sneakers . [ sam laughs ] molly : you 're being preemptory , arguing facts not yet in evidence . kristina : convicting mac without a fair trial . molly : you really have no way of knowing whether you can love him or not . i mean , you have n't given it a chance . kristina : mac is wonderful , mom . i mean , he 's kind and handsome . molly : and funny and fun . kristina : and he gets women because he 's always been surrounded by them , so when you get all weird and unreasonable , he wo n't be upset -- alexis : weird and unreasonable ? when ? molly : oh , do not try to change the subject . alexis : i 'm sorry to tell you this , girls , i really am , but there is no chemistry between me and mac . molly : oh , really ? well , what 's chemistry done for you lately , mom ? kristina : my dad ? molly 's dad ? molly : jerry jacks ? married - to - a - psycho mayor floyd ? alexis : do something ! sam : what ? alexis : jump in ! sam : no ! are you kidding ? no ! i 'm actually -- i 'm neutral . i see both sides , and i 'm not going to -- i 'm not going to argue either one . but you know what ? i actually have a life , and i have plans , and all of you need to leave . right now . let 's go . hop . molly : see ? sam : jump . molly : i rest my case . sam and jason were so over for so long , and now , they 're back together . and you know why ? alexis : why ? molly : because they did n't make up their minds in advance . alexis : thank you . sam : out . alexis : good - bye . sam : bye .

[ scene_break ] maxie : i think i deserve some serious brownie points for being such a great and supportive friend . and you , you should take notes , since you were less than helpful during my sleeping with franco crisis . lulu : i feel bad for you , honest , and spinelli , too , because i understand you are who you are . you are fearless and impulsive and self - destructive . that 's who you are , and that 's who you always will be . you 've never tried to hide that . spinelli knew that , and he chose to love you anyway . maxie : yes . but spinelli did not sign on for me sleeping with franco . lulu : well , if it was n't franco , it would be someone else , eventually . maxie : wow . i am really glad we had this conversation . i feel better already . lulu : i 'm not judging . like i said , you who are you are , and spinelli knows that . and he also knows your heart . he knows that you love him . i have a feeling that this will all work out . you just need to give it some time .

[ scene_break ] dante : i do n't know if i can tell you about my dream . it was really deeply upsetting , and i do n't want you to take it personally . lulu : are you serious right now ? no , you need to tell me . you need to tell me every detail . dante : okay , fine . we were at luke and tracy 's wedding . only , it was n't their wedding . it was our wedding , which made you really happy . [ lulu laughs ] dante : i was in a patrolman 's uniform , except for the waist down . i had no pants on , and michael and morgan were just pushing me out of the house , saying everyone 's gon na be lookin ' at the bride . they 're not gon na be payin ' any attention to the thong that you got me from valentine 's day that i -- that 's all i had on . so all the falconeris showed up , all 50 of them , 'cause they were n't invited , so they were pissed off , and they charged the quartermaine mansion . alice had uncle vinnie in a headlock , and ethan took the opportunity to rob everyone of their wallets . lulu : oh , that 's very realistic , actually . dante : i know . that was kinda mean of him . but then , well , you wanted to get married . you were really tryin ' to push this thing through 'cause you were worried about losing me . lulu : of course . totally me . dante : so we found the minister . we got him to say our vows , and everything was goin ' cool , but he kept making mistakes , and he kept rewinding the whole thing , and it was moving in slow motion , and then tracy showed up with , like , 2 rottweilers and a bottle of champagne . she was whippin ' it around -- lulu : you 're totally lying . you 're not telling me the truth . dante : no . why would i do that ? lulu : i do n't know . just tell me . i can take it . i 'm a big girl . just tell me . dante : yeah , you know , dreams , they 're just bits and pieces of , like , a cocktail mix , you know , dream cocktail mix . lulu : well , therapist would have a field day with it . dante : well , i guess we better keep it to ourselves . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're not here to warn me . you 're here because you hate brenda . admit it . carly : i do n't care about brenda . i 'm worried about you . you 're gon na be devastated when this falls apart , and trust me . it 's gon na fall apart , sonny . sonny : maybe this is n't about brenda . maybe this is about us . carly : how do i fit into this ? sonny : because we go through this all the time . every time i 'm with a new woman , you 're not happy . carly : are you kidding me ? sonny : no . carly : first of all , that 's not true , and second of all , it 's totally off topic . sonny : when 's the last time you were happy for me when i was with a new woman ? carly : it 's not my fault you have bad taste in women . sonny : i rest my case . carly : oh , whatever . you 're the one who ca n't stand seeing me with another man . sonny : it 's not my fault you got bad taste in men . carly : sonny , you ca n't marry brenda . and , please , you have to realize it before it 's too late . sonny : too late for what ? okay , you know what ? if you ca n't wish me well , i do n't really get it , but that 's all right . i 'll try to accept it . but if you interfere in my marriage , you will be sorry . carly : you 're the one that 's gon na be sorry . [ scene_break ] theo : i have a policy of telling my clients the unvarnished truth . it prepares them for things to come . brenda : hmm . well , that 's actually very refreshing . theo : hmm . brenda : maybe we should sit down . theo : thank you . rest assured that i have handled many high - profile cases . i am very well versed in the vagaries of celebrity . brenda : [ chuckles ] yes . well , so i 'm assuming that you mean it 's going to complicate my case . theo : well , no one doubts the dead man was after you with serious intent . unfortunately , it may be assumed that you 'd been given preferential treatment precisely because you are famous . brenda : well , trust me . i have not . theo : be that as it may , the plaintiffs ' attorneys may invoke a number of female celebrities who have been treated leniently despite their obvious guilt . brenda : okay , so what do we do about that ? theo : well , i will in fact argue the opposite of leniency in this case , because if you were not in the public eye , this lawsuit would never have been filed . the banovic family is after media attention and deep pockets . they are , in effect , blackmailing you despite the fact that you were in danger and you acted to protect yourself and dante falconeri . brenda : well , actually what i did was i was trying to save a cop , which -- i do n't know . i feel like anyone in my position would have probably done the same thing . theo : well , the problem is you are not just anyone , and we have to deal with that . brenda : okay , so how can i help you ? theo : well , why do n't we begin by you telling me the unvarnished truth of exactly what happened in the alley that night ?

[ scene_break ] diane : what is the exact nature of this information that you have uncovered , mr. grasshopper ? spinelli : i regret that it has the power to cause severe and crippling damage . diane : are lives in jeopardy ? spinelli : no , not in the physical sense , but if this comes to light -- and i fear it is inevitable -- the fallout will be widespread and devastating . diane : how devastating ? spinelli : the damage happened some years ago and has remained hidden , but now is bubbling to the surface like some viscous , primordial ooze , so accordingly i 'm contemplating a full confession to stone cold . diane : do you believe that jason can help ? spinelli : i fear not . the ooze will spread till all are overwhelmed . diane : well , if you truly believe that jason can not stop the ooze , i suggest you refrain from saying a word to him . his plate is too full as it is . he 's got the balkan , he 's got brenda 's lawsuit , and now he 's got sonny and brenda 's engagement . spinelli : yeah . i will bow to the brusque lady of justice 's wisdom . diane : i 'm sorry i ca n't be more help , spinelli . spinelli : your counsel is always most insightful . oh . gracious greetings . claire : i 've come to reopen discussions about joining your firm . diane : someone is clearly not up on recent events . [ scene_break ] jason : i trust diane , but i wan na hear your take on the lawsuit . theo : well , as i told ms. barrett , the biggest obstacle is her celebrity . jason : the guy was killing dante . brenda shot him in self - defense . theo : the circumstances are open to interpretation . ms. barrett and detective falconeri are closely connected to a third party , sonny corinthos . there was no objective witness to the shooting . the jury will be asked to believe detective falconeri 's and ms. barrett 's version of events . jason : that 's good , because they 're tellin ' the truth . theo : well , the jury 's opinion will rest on ms. barrett herself . they will be keeping a close eye on how she presents herself on the stand . jason : the problem with that is if someone asks brenda the wrong question , she could fall apart . that 's why you need to settle this before it goes to trial . theo : i will certainly do my best , but in my estimation , the plaintiffs would like to cause maximum suffering for ms. barrett , which precludes a settlement . this will go to trial . jason : you need to be careful with brenda , because killin ' a man , even in self - defense , almost destroyed her .

[ scene_break ] claire : i 've been informed by my superiors at the justice department that my new assignment is in alaska . diane : not exactly subtle about expressing their displeasure , are they ? claire : before i tell them to shove it , i need a place to land , and you need a qualified attorney to pick up the slack , and i 'm willing to remain in port charles , so it 's a win - win . diane : yes . in theory , you would make a fantastic addition to this firm . however , practically speaking , most of our business comes from sonny . claire : i 'm a big girl . i can handle it . diane : sonny just announced his engagement to brenda . claire : well , that 's no surprise , is it ? diane : look , claire , it 's one thing to walk away from a relationship . it is quite another to be tripping over the man and the woman that he left you for , who has now become his wife . claire : sonny 's been in love with brenda for years . marriage is the obvious next step . diane : yes , but do you really want them in your face week in and week out ? claire : i could handle other clients if it becomes a problem . diane : claire , would n't it simply be better in the long run to just forget about sonny , move on , walk away , instead of being constantly reminded about what could have been ? claire : i appreciate your candor . diane : look , if you really want this job , i can guarantee my partners will welcome you , but i think a fresh start in moose country would be the wisest choice . claire : okay . well , can i think about it and get back to you ? diane : absolutely . claire : thanks , diane . [ scene_break ] michael : i mean , i know you 're probably gon na ask jason to be your best man . sonny : or you . michael : yeah . but dante 's a good guy , and he 's a great brother . and plus it 'd be a chance for you two to get closer . sonny : yeah . it 's actually a nice idea . 'cause i tell you what . there 's nothing that i would want more than all my kids at the wedding -- you , dante , kristina , even molly , if she wanted to go . i do n't know . michael : dad , are you kiddin ' me ? kristina and molly 'd be drivin ' us crazy talkin ' about dresses , bridesmaids , flowers . actually , she 'd probably just have the wedding tonight . i 'm serious . but i wanted -- are you inviting mom to the -- sonny : she 's your mom . of course . i mean , you know , we care about each other . we always will . michael : yeah . well , she 's not too fond of brenda , though . sonny : you noticed ? michael : yeah . she 's not exactly known for her subtlety . sonny : okay , you know what ? i think , knowing your mom , she 'll probably try to do anything to stop the wedding . you know what i mean ? michael : do you want me to help out and , you know , talk to her or somethin ' ? sonny : no , 'cause i do n't want you gettin ' caught in the middle . i just want you to know that , you know , if your mom and i fight , it 's just who we are . sometimes with your mother , she just ca n't let things go . [ scene_break ] dante : yeah , i 'll go with whatever you decide . i 'd appreciate if you told me what you 're gon na do , because if you do tell the truth about the baby , that 'll affect me , too . brenda : yeah . of course i 'll tell you . you know , it 's so weird when i think back to the time when sonny and i were together , you know , a long time ago , and every time he hurt me , really hurt me , it was because of a lie or because of him keeping a secret , and i just do n't ever want to make him feel that way , you know ? dante : well , you grow up thinkin ' that the right thing to do is to tell the truth and that the wrong thing to do is to lie . sometimes those can be the exact opposites . when michael told me that he killed his stepmother , i could have protected him , could have accepted what my father , who i do n't like very much , was doing and he was telling a lie for a really good reason . he was putting himself on the stand for murder to save michael . but i knew the truth , and that was right , and that made me right . and so i went into the courtroom . i had my badge in my hand , and i announced to everyone that michael killed claudia . and then he was put in prison for manslaughter . brenda : i mean , i 'm so sorry . that must have been horrible for you . dante : i was just so sure that what i was doing was right by telling the truth and that it would all fall out the way i wanted it to and michael would get a suspended sentence , and he did n't . when you see your brother taken off in shackles , and you realize somethin . you learn a lesson , you know ? that there are no absolutes . it 's all a judgment call , and you got ta do what 's best for the people you love . so you got ta ask yourself , i mean , you know , with sonny , is this telling him the truth about the baby , is that gon na make anything better ? brenda : probably not . dante : how do you think he 'll react ? brenda : i think he 'll feel terrible . dante : then why tell him ? he 's happy , and he wants to spend the rest of his life with you . sometimes keepin ' a secret can be a pretty good gift . brenda : thank you so much for everything you 've done for me . you 've been so great to me . dante : you 've been pretty good to me , too . brenda : i 'm gon na get home . dante : yeah . congratulations on your engagement , ms. barrett . brenda : thank you . dante : go home . go . brenda : yeah , yeah . [ scene_break ] johnny : lookin ' for this ? and we were doin ' so well , were n't we ? we had opened up to each other . we were honest . we sang `` kumbaya . `` and just think , i was ready to give this thing back to you . but i 'm thinkin ' i need to hang on to it for a little while .

[ scene_break ] brenda : hey . jason : hey . brenda : have you seen the lights in the park ? right , so the trees are completely covered in lights . jason : wow . you 're in a really good mood . brenda : i 'm engaged . jason : yeah , i know . i just thought that lawyer might have pushed you too far , that 's all . brenda : no , he was great , actually . he , you know , treated me like an adult who 's capable of handling the realities of my situation . jason : well , that 's what he gets paid for . brenda : ca n't ruin my good mood . jason : oh , i 'm not . just , you know , maybe max should walk you more often . brenda : oh , that 's great , like i 'm a dog with multi owners now , apparently . so when i was in the park , i saw dante , and guess what he did . he congratulated me on my engagement . so it just made me , you know , kind of realize how silly i was before . jason : you 're gon na have to narrow that down for me . brenda : well , just that i was always , you know -- well , you know -- assuming that sonny and i are doomed , and we are in fact not .

i just asked you if you do n't have plans -- i know it 's probably not a surprise -- but are you available to babysit emma ? sabrina : babysit . uh , yeah . of course . yeah , sure . britt : hello , sabrina . patrick : hey . hey , good news . she 's available to babysit emma , so that means we 're good for tonight . britt : oh , it 's worked out perfectly ! we 'll all have a great new year 's . you and me ... and sabrina and emma . kristina : this is n't your call , dad . i 'm an adult , and i can decide what i want to do . sonny : right now , you 're acting like a child . sonny : have you lost your mind ? did you forget that he ran a scam on all of us , the reality show , and he tricked her into marrying him so his father could kill her and then -- michael : whoa , dad , dad , that 's not -- that 's not fair , okay ? trey did n't know what his father had planned . and if kristina wants to trust trey and give him another chance , that 's -- you know , that 's her call . kristina : i ca n't believe you 're acting like this . what happened to the guy who was so nice to trey on christmas , so grateful to him for trying to have connie committed ? sonny : well , that did n't work out too well , did it , 'cause connie 's still connie . kristina : that 's not trey 's fault . sonny : first , i lost kate . then i lost jason . and i 'm not -- i do n't want to lose you . do you understand ? kristina : is that what this is all about ? you 're afraid you 're gon na lose me ? connie : i told you to stay out of it , starr . starr : i do n't care -- connie : hey , this is not your concern . starr : stop ! get off of me ! johnny : [ muffled talking ] starr : why would you do this ? ! you have him taped up and gagged ! are you kidding me ? that 's a crime , connie , and i 'm not gon na let you get away with it ! connie : oh , yeah ? starr : this has something to do with what you were trying to tell me , was n't it , the reason why you married connie . johnny : you 're not gon na be my wife for much longer . connie : oh , is that right ? johnny : that 's right . connie : oh , what , you 're gon na throw me out the window , johnny ? if you do , you better finish me off , because if you do n't , you 're gon na go to the slammer for killing cole thornhart and his little girl . johnny : okay , keep it up with the threats . and if you do , i 'm gon na toss your ass off the side of this building faster than you can say `` d.i.d. `` i 'm gon na confess to three murders , so what 's one more ? connie : is that right ? johnny : that 's right . connie : because last time i saw you , you were about to confess to little starr . starr : you 're blackmailing him ! that 's the only reason why he married you . connie : well , should we tell her the truth , johnny ? todd : do n't you have a kid to look after ? sam : actually , my sister 's watching daniel . you remember molly . she 's the one who wrote that book that you let connie steal . todd : okay , if i were to ever steal a teenage girl 's sappy romantic manuscript -- by the way , that 's a charge i categorically deny -- if i were to ever consider doing something like that , i would never keep the evidence in my safe . [ door opens ] carly : todd , i heard there was a robbery going on here . sam , what are you doing ? todd : what 's she doing ? she 's trying to crack my safe . arrest her ! carly : is this true ? are you trying to steal something from todd ? sam : no . actually , i was trying to recover stolen property -- a book that my sister wrote and submitted to todd for publication , and he is publishing it , with connie 's name on the cover . carly : did sam actually take anything ? todd : no , 'cause i got here before she could get the safe open . carly : thank you , guys . i 'll take care of this . todd : and by `` take care of this , `` i hope you mean you 're gon na call the cops . carly : is there any chance that sam 's suspicions are true ? todd : carly , i can open up that safe right now . you can look for yourself . there 's no book in there . carly : and there 's no chance that connie would steal a manuscript , huh ? todd : here 's what happened , okay ? starr and molly -- they show up here . they have a manuscript -- a sappy teenaged - girl manuscript , okay . it disappears . at that moment , all of a sudden , connie decides that she wants to write a novel . sam : [ laughs ] todd : right ? i never read the book . and molly says that it 's her book , but there 's no copy of it anywhere else , so there 's no way to prove anything . now , are you gon na call john mcbain , or shall i ? carly : excuse me for a second . carly : what is wrong with you ? todd : what 's wrong with me ? carly : yes ! todd : this is the second time that sam 's broken into -- third time that sam 's broken into my anything , if you count the time that she broke into my -- carly : she just lost jason . you 're gon na throw her in jail because she 's trying to find her sister 's book ? todd : i do n't like walking into a room and seeing people rummage through my -- carly : she just got her baby back , todd ! it 's new year 's eve . you 're gon na make her spend one more night away from him ? sam : todd had no trouble keeping us apart for the first six months of danny 's life . what 's another night ? connie : all right , starr . johnny 's a kinky little pervert , okay ? he likes to play these little sex games with me , all right ? `` tie me up , tie me down . `` this is his favorite game , right , baby ? he 's into the bondage thing , huh ? and i was playing along with him , but you know what they say . why buy the cow when you get the milk for free ? so i said , `` you better make an honest woman out of me , johnny . i 'm not like that . `` and so he did . he married me . we 've been happily married ever since . hmm ? johnny : mm . connie : is n't that right , baby ? starr : really ? really ? so that 's what johnny was trying to tell me ? he married you because he 's into bondage . sonny : kristina , i 'm your father . it 's my job to look out for you , to tell you when you 're making a mistake . living , you know , in california with or without trey is a mistake . i 'm not gon na allow it . kristina : you just do n't want to miss me . sonny : that too . kristina : but i 'm still your daughter no matter where i go . and we can skype , you know . we can text . we can talk on the phone , and i 'll be back for the holidays . alexis : listen , no matter how much we love her , we ca n't make her live her life so that we 're happy . we ca n't make her stay in port charles because we want her to be close . we just ca n't . so think about it like she 's going to college . sonny : you ca n't compare going to yale to , you know , moving across country , shacking up with a guy -- he has n't given any indication if he 's gon na give her what she wants . alexis : listen , i do n't think you 're giving him enough credit . okay ? he got the annulment . sonny : mm - hmm . alexis : he saved her life . i mean , he did what he -- what you wanted him to do with connie . he 's got a job . sonny : well , good luck to him . alexis : [ sighs ] sonny : what i 'm trying to say is i can see where he 's coming from . what 's keeping him here ? but she has a family -- actually , two families -- yours and mine . kristina : i 'm going to california , dad , whether you like it or not . and you can visit me , and i promise to come home for all the holidays . but ... but if you pull something , if you manipulate anyone or try to use your power in any way to force me to stay ... then i swear , you 'll have lost me for good . patrick : i am so glad you can babysit . you 're the only one emma tolerates who 's not family . sabrina : i love emma . patrick : well , she loves you , too . although i am surprised you do n't have plans . guys around here must be blind . sabrina : oh , well , i 'd rather not go out and spend new year 's eve with the wrong person . anyway , i could use the time after emma 's asleep to work on the nurses ' ball . patrick : which sounds to me that everything 's lining up perfectly . britt : yeah , lucy sure was dramatic when she flew in to announce the ball was a go . too bad it 's not . patrick : what do you mean it 's not ? britt : well , i want the nurses ' ball to happen as much as anyone , but lucy 's financial situation has n't changed . she 's flat broke , and she ca n't make anything happen . lucy : a.j . , do you honestly think that my support and my vote can be had for the mere price of a few trinkets ? tracy : not so few . lucy : i am deeply hurt that you think i can be bought so cheaply . tracy : not so cheap . lucy : okay , look , i appreciate your generosity , actually more than you know , but i ca n't simply throw my support behind someone just because she bought me a whole wardrobe . tracy : i would like to think that you would support me because it 's best for elq . as an honorary quartermaine , i think it 's only natural that you would want to see that my father 's legacy endures . lucy : well , of course i would . i was so fond of your father , eddie . and i so loved mother quartermaine . we were so very close . so , you know , i have to weigh this responsibility of this decision . it 's very difficult . i have to really think about this . so let me do that . hmm . what to do ? what to do ? a.j . : okay . okay . let 's just cut to the chase . lucy , what 's it gon na take to get your support ? lucy : well , i can think of a little something i have in mind . tracy : yes ? britt : i was concerned about the ball and worried that lucy 's promises were unreliable . i mean , given that the article in the sun said that her cosmetic company was nothing more than a pyramid scheme ... patrick : the sun is a tabloid . and manning would do anything to sell papers . britt : okay , even so , i did a little research , just to be helpful , and the sec has frozen coecoe 's assets . but they 're also going after lucy coe personally . patrick : well , that sounds serious . britt : sabrina , i just wish you would have done your homework . i mean , you could have saved yourself and everyone here a lot of heartache . patrick : this is n't sabrina 's fault . if lucy misrepresented herself , then this is on her . sabrina : she did n't . patrick : she did n't what ? sabrina : she did n't misrepresent herself . ms. coe was very truthful about her situation . i was about to tell you that my first meeting with her did n't go as positive as we implied . britt : you and felix were pretty confident that the meeting was a complete success . patrick : that was more felix . sabrina : i was going to tell you that ms . coe was under investigation , but then lucy showed up and said the ball was on , so i did n't see a reason to say anything . britt : given that the woman is under investigation for fraud -- sabrina : i just assumed that she worked things out for her company . after all , ms . coe is a very smart businesswoman . lucy : okey - dokey ! if we 're all gon na be really honest here , let 's admit that everybody standing here has their own agenda , yes ? tracy : oh , i have never made a secret of my desire to keep elq strong and profitable by remaining at the helm . a.j . : have you seen her numbers for the last three -- tracy : it 's a tough economy , a.j . ! the fundamentals are -- lucy : hey ! [ whistles ] okay ? could we stay on the topic , please ? tracy : the topic is elq . lucy : no , not all the way for me . you see , i have my own company to shepherd , and coecoe cosmetics is being unfairly targeted by the sec . so i would look rather favorably on any party that perhaps would help me . tracy : i 'm so sorry , lucy , but elq ca n't involve itself in a pyramid scheme . that 's fraud . lucy : but if all my members get a full return , then all the charges are dropped . a.j . : yeah , uh , tracy ca n't help you . you 're barking up the wrong tree here . you did n't tell her ? see , tracy 's having her own problems with the sec . tracy : that 's just a rumor . there 's no truth to it . a.j . : oh , come on ! it 's only a matter of time ! they 're gon na take you down , and they 're gon na take elq with you . now , if you put me in charge , that problem goes bye - bye . with me at the helm of elq , i can help you , and i can help coecoe cosmetics . so think about it , lucy . what 's it gon na take ? todd : look , sam , obviously you 've had a really bad year , but you 're gon na have to find somebody else to take it out on . sam : you not only stole my son , but you gave him to your ex - wife . carly : the police have already established that heather gave danny to tea , that todd had nothing to do with it . sam : are you selfish , or are you just stupid ? just because this guy flirts with you a little bit , all of a sudden , you 're , like , all over -- carly : are you kidding me ? todd : okay , i have something to say . carly is the only reason that you 're not in the back of a paddy wagon right now . sam : no , carly is defending me because that 's what jason would want her to do . carly : yes , he would want me to do that . sam : so i 'm gon na do the same exact thing , because that 's what he would want . this guy is not your friend , carly . he is a kidnapper . i mean , he 's worse than a kidnapper . carly : why is it so hard for you to believe that heather lied to todd ? she 's lied to everyone else . she hates you for some crazy reason . she even faked the paternity test so you and jason would think that danny was franco 's . sam : yes , heather is evil . no question about it . so is todd . carly : todd was scared . he was scared . he had a sick baby in his arms , and he let a stranger help . he did n't know the babies had been switched , sam . sam : i ca n't believe you can stand here and defend the man that stole jason 's son . think about that , carly . think about all the time jason could have spent with his son if it was n't for todd . carly : i hate the fact that jason did n't get to spend time with his son , but i am telling you , todd is innocent . sam : [ sighs ] okay . i see . all right . so , um , you trust todd . you believe in todd . so forget about jason . i mean , todd 's your new best friend . sonny : so , your boyfriend is a great influence . first you 're gon na write me off 'cause i did n't , you know , want to do the reality show . now you 're gon na say goodbye to me 'cause i do n't let you run off with him ? kristina : you 're right . i should n't be firing off ultimatums . but `` mob princess `` was my idea , too . i was angry at you and mom , and i 've grown up a lot since then . and now i just want to find ... what i want to do with my life . sonny : go back to school , right . do what michael did . kristina : i will . i will , as soon as i know what i want to study . but right now , i want to be with trey , and , you know , i 'm really excited about california . they have a great art scene and terrific fashion , and i 'm applying to a bunch of internships . and i know i 'm gon na find something there that 's gon na make me happy . sonny : you want fashion ? you want art ? go to new york city . kristina : you know , and maybe i 'll end up there , but i got to get there when i get there . you left brooklyn , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . kristina : well , i need to leave port charles . and it does n't mean i do n't love you , dad . i do . but i 'm ready to try something new , take some chances . i 'm just asking for your blessing . who are you calling ? sonny : no , i 'm just checking the calendar . alexis , how 's the 10th ? alexis : the 10th ? sonny : yeah , 'cause i want to give the kids , you know , time to settle , you know , before we go out and visit them in california . kristina : does this mean -- sonny : okay , you need -- if you 're not happy , you come back to me . you understand ? kristina : yeah ! yes ! yes ! sonny : all right . kristina : [ laughs ] thank you , dad . connie : look , obviously you have no idea what johnny was trying to tell you -- starr : johnny told me that you were holding something over him . connie : you told her that ? jerk . all right , here 's what happened . we got in a fight . i threatened to post our sex videos online , but we kissed and made up . okay ? good enough ? so , now , we 're obviously in the middle of a game , if you do n't mind . johnny : [ grunts ] connie : huh , johnny ? starr : johnny ? connie : i think it 's time to get a little wild when we start playing . i would n't want starr to get hurt . starr : are you okay ? connie : we 're fine ! beat it . johnny : [ muffled talking ] [ muffled shouting ] connie : you sneaky little ... starr : ow ! connie : ... bitch . starr : connie ! stop ! aah ! johnny : [ grunts ] johnny : [ muffled ] leave her alone . connie ! connie : look what you made me do , johnny . this is your fault . if you had n't called her , she would n't have come over here . johnny : you have to help her . call 911 . connie : shut up ! johnny : she 's hurt ! connie : i have to think ! johnny : you have to help her ! [ cell phone ringing ] michael : starr 's phone went straight to voicemail . she 's probably still talking to johnny . sonny : why -- why would she go anywhere near that dirtbag ? michael : they still have stuff to sort out , you know . she 's heading over to the haunted star . i 'm gon na meet her there and tell her the good news . kristina : hey , maybe the four of us can hang out tonight and celebrate . michael : sounds good . trey : hey , uh , thanks . i appreciate it . michael : just treat her right , okay ? trey : you got it . michael : and , dad , i 'm really glad we had the chance to talk earlier . sonny : me too . michael : happy new year . sonny : [ chuckles ] michael : i 'll see you guys . kristina : see you later . [ chuckles ] alexis : whoa . i totally forgot it was new year 's eve . kristina : yeah ! happy new year ! alexis : yeah . sonny : listen , you look out for my daughter . trey : yes , sir . i ... i would take wonderful care of your daughter , even if her father was a shoe salesman . sonny : just want to make it clear . trey : you know , i ... was -- was kind of thinking ... about what you said earlier . you know , about me not really having anything here to stay for . sonny : listen , if kate were back ... is that what you 're -- she 's not . she 's not . she 's not back . trey : yeah , but i do n't know . i guess i just kind of thought that maybe ... maybe at some point we might be able to have a relationship of sorts or ... sonny : not as long as connie 's around . trey : yeah , but , i mean , do n't you think , like , i do n't know , maybe if i told her that i was leaving , that ... johnny : [ grunts ] [ muffled ] starr ! starr , can you hear me ? connie : you know , we had the perfect relationship , johnny . you stayed free because of me . i stayed free because of you . everybody 's happy . but you could n't leave it that way , could you ? and now i got the two of you to deal with . or maybe not . patrick : yes or no ? did lucy write a check yet ? sabrina : no . patrick : no . sabrina : but she was very enthusiastic , and to come all this way , i 'm sure she has the best intentions . britt : i know how hard you 've been working , sabrina . it 's very easy to lose perspective . we all want the ball to happen . it 's a wonderful way to honor your wife . but at this point , even if lucy were to donate the money , can we accept it ? sabrina : why not ? britt : it may be part of a criminal conspiracy . at the very least , it 's dirty . that 's the last thing we want for the hospital . patrick : i 'm not worried about the hospital . there 's been shady characters who 've donated money in the past . doors are still open . britt : well , we just need to be more careful next time . check out potential benefactors before jumping in head - first . sabrina : there were no other benefactors . lucy coe was our last hope . britt : that 's too bad . patrick : now , hold on a second . now , lucy might still come through . sabrina : well , ms . coe and i have a meeting this afternoon to discuss the preliminaries . patrick : okay . britt : really ? when ? sabrina : oh . well , she should be here by now . tracy : lucy , before you decide , let me remind you that a.j . shot his father in the back . that would be my brother alan , your ex - husband , the very man that gave you the she of elq that you 've got . lucy : okay , okay . you know what ? if we 're all being totally honest with each other , it really was n't a gift . he did n't `` gave `` it to me . it was sort of a payoff , you know . but forget that . a.j . , it is a little bit worrisome that you shot alan . a.j . : i was just cleared of all those charges . tracy : because you had something to trade . he is a menace and a bad businessman . is that really who you want managing elq ? lucy : okay , okay . troublesome . if you 're just taking over elq , just now getting control , that means it 's gon na take you a while to get up to speed , and coecoe really can not wait . tracy : excellent point . lucy : but , you know , on the other hand , this sec business is very , very worrisome , you know , because i 've got my own problems . tracy , i certainly do not want to be investigated for yours . tracy : there is no sec investigation . a.j . : yet . lucy : oh , wow . this is just too much to take in right now . i 've simply got to get to a meeting . tracy : allow me to drive you . a.j . : i 'll be glad to take you . lucy : i 'm gon na use that credit card that you gave me . i 'm gon na take a cab . and would you be a darling little quacker and make sure all of this gets home ? tracy : and then what ? we 're back where we started from . lucy : no , we 're not . i think we have made excellent progress . a.j . : what do you mean ? lucy : i have a new wardrobe . a.j . : ha ! lucy : ta . carly : jason and i were always there for each other . sam : mm - hmm . carly : that 's why i 'm bending over backwards to support you . but breaking and entering ? what the hell ? do you want to spend the night in jail , sam ? is that what you want ? sam : no , i want todd to admit what he did . carly : there 's no reasoning with you at all ! todd : you know what , carly ? you make a valid point . all right ? there is no reason why sam should start 2013 with her name in the police blotter . carly : there you go . go . go home to your son . sam : why do you believe him ? carly : why do i believe him ? because i asked him point - blank , `` did you switch sam 's baby ? `` and he said no . sam : and that 's it ? carly : and i asked him to swear on his daughter 's life . sam : oh . carly : yeah , sam . you 're a mother now . you know how huge it is to swear on your child 's life . sam : yeah , swearing on your child 's life when you 're lying -- i ca n't imagine anything worse . i mean , you 'd go straight to hell . sam : just so you know , todd , i 'm gon na get to the bottom of whatever you did with molly 's book . i 'm not gon na let you take advantage of yet another innocent child . carly : oh , my god . give it a rest , sam . sam : you know what , carly ? it 's not your fault that johnny zacchara made a fool of you . carly : [ chuckling ] oh , wow . why are you bringing up johnny ? sam : i 'm just saying that you are smart . you should trust your instincts . do n't let todd make a fool of you . jason would n't want that . todd : wow . nothing like the chick who breaks in your office and tries to rob you throwing around accusations . carly : are you gon na make a fool of me , too ? connie : [ grunting ] stop struggling . lucy : oh ! uh , hi . oh , hold on . i got it . i got it . you need some help ? connie : nope . lucy : [ gasps ] wait a -- are n't you kate howard ? connie : no . no . lucy : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'm lucy coe . you had the magazine crimson , couture -- used to advertise my cosmetics . i loved the magazine when kate was at the helm , but now not so much . you know , i met you -- i guess i did n't meet you at a convention . well , you look just like her . connie : yeah , i get that a lot . lucy : oh . okay , well , sorry about that . um , have a swell day . yeah . connie : [ grunts ] [ panting ] you are not making this easy for me , johnny ! [ panting ] okay . tracy : okay , well , i better rush home , 'cause i do n't want to ruffle any feathers . a.j . : you honestly expect me to believe you 're going home ? come on ! you 're going after lucy ! connie : [ grunts ] oh ! watch it ! geez ! invaluable cargo in here . alexis : well , if he does n't like the applesauce , give him peaches . he really likes peaches . he did ? ! ooh . cool . did you get a picture ? good . all right . well , tell him -- give him a kiss for me . okay . thanks . at least someone still needs me . sonny : molly ? alexis : yep . she 's babysitting . apparently daniel does n't like `` wuthering heights . `` sonny : he 's a great , great kid . i mean , i ca n't believe how much he looks like jason . alexis : i ca n't believe how much has happened this year . [ sighs ] daniel 's born . jason 's gone . and our daughter 's moving away . sonny : she 'll be back . alexis : i 'm sure she will , because her family 's here . this is where her home is , right ? sonny : okay , just so you know , i did not want her to go . i thought it was a mistake . and you kind of said , `` well , uh , `` whatever you said . yeah . alexis : look , if she makes a mistake , then she needs to make it , because if we butt in , it 's just gon na take her twice as long to realize that . sonny : i 'll remind you of that when you ca n't get ahold of her for two weeks , and then he did something stupid or whatever , right ? alexis : i 'm not as opposed to him as you are . [ both chuckle ] would n't you know it ? you know , i think he has the sense to take good care of her . [ sighs ] i just wish that it were n't so far away . sonny : hey , you know what ? at least -- at least you got molly , sam , and daniel . alexis : how 's everything going with michael ? did things thaw out a bit ? sonny : well , he found something out about a.j . , and it opened his eyes . alexis : well , that does n't surprise me at all . sonny : well , i want him to walk away from a.j . , but he -- you know , he wants to give him a second chance . alexis : [ sighs ] all right , so will you do me a favor ? will you try not to worry about it ? sonny : i know the way a.j . thinks . i know what he wants . he wants me out of michael 's life . that 's not gon na happen . and now with kristina gone , i am not ... i am not gon na lose michael . michael : starr , you in there ? starr ? oh , my god . starr ! starr , can you hear me ? ! starr ! connie : [ grunting ] [ panting ] see , johnny ? just got to have a little faith . johnny : [ grunts ] connie : told you this would work . johnny : [ muffled shouting ] connie : no , no , no , johnny . you be a good little boy ... and i promise i wo n't hit any bumps . johnny : [ grunts ] [ muffled shouting ] [ thumping ] connie : [ panting ] aah ! geez ! patrick : any word from lucy ? sabrina : uh , no . patrick : no . okay . well , she 's a c.e.o . maybe she 's busy or hopefully she 's still on her way . britt : good news , sabrina . your shift 's over . you have time to go home before you babysit . sabrina : uh , actually , i 'm still waiting for ms . coe . britt : oh . of course , if you still think that 's gon na happen . patrick : it could still happen . maybe she 's stuck in traffic . it 's new year 's eve . sabrina : yeah , and maybe -- and why would she say she would help if she could n't ? britt : sometimes people have a hard time saying no .

[ sighs ] yeah , it was -- it was -- it was nice . especially christmas eve . dante and lulu were here with rocco , and -- and , um , kiki came with avery , so ... it was a full house . sabrina : did you have any time to think about what i told you ? michael : what , that carlos is your baby 's father and i 'm not ? yeah , i - i have n't been able to think about anything else . sabrina : did you come to any decisions ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : [ panting ] ah , gracious holiday greetings ! jason : [ chuckles ] spinelli : hey , um , how was your christmas ? my own was brimming with good cheer . i did hear that you were briefly detained , but happily , diane was able to secure bail ? hopefully in time for a festive celebration ? jason : does it not bother you that i almost killed a man ? or is that what you expect from your good buddy stone cold ? [ scene_break ] michael : ok , i hate being lied to . i 'm sure everybody does . look , kiki lied to me . not once , but over and over again . and it was a dealbreaker . i thought you were different , sabrina . i never thought after -- after everything that you 've been through in your past , th - that honesty would be as important to you as it is to me . sabrina : michael , i 'm so sorry . michael : yeah , so am i . you know , i -- so am i. i - i ... look , if you would have just been honest with me , if you would have told me carlos was the baby 's father from the start , i 'd like to think it would n't matter . i mean , because , come on ... i know better than anyone th - that biology does not make a family -- love does ! sabrina : well , michael , it can still be that way . i was n't unfaithful to you . i was with carlos once , and this was before you and i even agreed that we were dating . and then , i -- when i found out that i was pregnant ... michael , i just wanted so badly for this baby to be yours . michael : so you pretended th - that it was . you pretended . s - so , d - did you know the truth when i asked you to marry me ? sabrina : [ scoffs ] i - i did n't have an ultrasound yet , so i did n't know the due date . michael : no , but y - you were reasonably sure that the baby was carlos ' . sabrina : reasonably . michael : so that 's why you turned me down . sabrina : does it help that i could n't marry you under false pretenses ? michael : no . [ scene_break ] paul : [ scoffs ] you never gave me a chance to explain what you walked in on the night of the gala -- tracy : it was very clear what i walked in on . paul : tracy , i made a huge mistake . tracy : i was a means to an end for you . a way to further your political career and maybe to get closer to dillon . paul : pl - please , let 's not involve dillon in this . tracy : [ laughs ] dillon is going to notice that you 've gone . and when he brings it up ... i have every intention of telling him why you were told to leave . paul : i - i understand that you 're hurt . but that 's no reason to -- to take this sort of ... tracy : oh , no , no , no , no , no . i would have to care in order to be hurt . and i do n't . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you had a severe concussion and a deep laceration , but the doctors are confident you 're gon na make a full recovery . nikolas : [ sighs ] you were with me , right , when i fell ? elizabeth : yes . i did the best i could to stop the bleeding , and i rode with you in the ambulance . did you save my life ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i would n't go that far . nikolas ... whatever happened between you and jason -- hayden : there 's no question about what happened . jason pushed nikolas off the restaurant terrace . it 's a miracle that scaffolding was there to break his fall , or he would be dead . elizabeth : [ sighs ] the police are gon na question you . hayden : and you can tell them the exact same thing i did . that jason wanted to kill you . elizabeth : excuse me , do you mind ? i 'm trying to have a conversation with my friend . it would be really nice if you did n't involve yourself . hayden : well , i 'm the sole witness . that means i 'm involved . elizabeth : okay , then why do n't you tell the police that you were hysterical last night and that you were crazy . i do n't care . whatever excuse you want to come up with , but change your story . [ scene_break ] spinelli : uh , forgive me . i - i had the distinct impression that you disliked the nickname `` stone cold . `` jason : i do . spinelli : well , that at least has not changed . [ laughs ] see -- see , you , um ... you never liked it . but it was -- oh , it was such an apt title that i persisted in using it . and i - i think you came to tolerate it for my sake . yeah . jason : you want to do me a favor ? do n't start using it again . i have a really hard time controlling my temper these days , and i 'd hate to blow up on you for something so trivial , so ... i do n't want to blow up on you at all , man . just do n't use the term anymore . spinelli : oh , g - got it . thank you . um , i ... i can only assume that your current volatile state is a result of the revelation that -- jason : yes . elizabeth lied to me . she 's known who i was for a very long time . and , well , she did n't say anything , so ... spinelli : i must confess , i was ... angry and appalled when i first heard . it -- it seems grossly unfair that she kept you to herself , leaving the rest of us to grieve . most particularly sam , with whom you shared the ... the boisterous and ebullient danny . you 're -- you 're a father , and she kept you from your son . jason : spinelli ... it does n't really do me any good to talk about it . it actually pisses me off all over again . so no matter what elizabeth has done , she is still jake 's mother , and for his sake , she has to be in my life . spinelli : a most admirable position to take . jason : no , see , that 's the thing . i have n't done anything admirable . spinelli : i fear you 're being too hard on yourself . jason : i fear you 're mistaken . spinelli : well , at the risk of provoking your ire ... how -- how -- how do things stand with you and sam ? she is your wife , after all . have you given thought to ... rekindling the fires of romantic attachment ? [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm so sorry . i did n't -- did n't think you were here . robin , hi . robin : hi , sam . [ chuckles ] sam : wow . i -- i would not have just walked in like that , but i thought you were on an indefinite leave of absence . that 's what the hospital said . danny made you an ornament for christmas . i wanted to drop it off . patrick : that 's very sweet of him . uh , yeah , the situation resolved itself a little sooner than expected . sam : well , that -- that 's good news , right ? does that mean ... you and robin are back together ? robin : well , it 's ... a convoluted story , and i think that patrick should be the one to tell you . and ... i have a doctor 's appointment anyway . sam : are you sure about that ? robin : yeah . i ... and , sam , you know , i just wanted to say thank you . emma told me how great you were with her . sam : oh , no thanks needed . honestly , it was a - a privilege to have her in my life . robin : [ chuckles ] bye . sam : bye . [ door closes ] patrick : [ chuckles ] sam : [ chuckles ] patrick : where do i start ? sam : you do n't -- you do n't have to start anywhere . you do n't owe me any explanations . patrick : yeah , i think you deserve one . i said that we could n't be together because you still held out hope for you and jason . [ chuckles ] [ clicks tongue ] turns out that there 's hope for me and robin , too . [ scene_break ] mac : look , i know you want an update on the connection between carlos rivera and kyle sloane , but is it really more important than a reunion with my niece ? anna : thanks for indulging a meddling mother . but , you know , patrick and robin -- they have n't had a moment alone since she was rescued , and i just wanted to give them that time . mac : well , you know , if they have a problem admitting that they love each other , i can always call in a couple favors at the pcpd and have them locked , right , in an interrogation room . it worked before . anna : yeah , if i need desperate measures , i 'll let you know . mac : how is robin , really ? anna : wow . she is astonishingly resilient , that girl . she insists that she wants to pick up the threads of her old life , and all we can do is support her on that , you know ? [ cell phone rings ] mac : oh , i have to take this . anna : is it felicia ? mac : no , but it 's important . yeah , this is scorpio . what have you got ? really ? [ chuckles ] okay , perfect . um , i 'll come by tomorrow to pick up the report . thanks for the quick work . i owe you one . anna : that sounds promising . mac : [ sighs ] that was the assistant medical examiner . anna : oh , yeah ? gallagher ? mac : while you were away , i , uh , gave him everything he needed to run a dna comparison between kyle sloane and carlos rivera . anna : and ? mac : we can prove kyle sloane 's dead . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas , you have to tell the police it was a mutual argument that got out of control . hayden : why would he protect the man who wants -- who wanted to kill him ? elizabeth : jason was only reacting to what the three of us have done to him . hayden : excuse me , the three of us ? you 're the one who insisted on keeping this secret so you could have jason to yourself . nikolas kept the secret for you . he has played this your way right down the line , and he nearly died as a result . [ scene_break ] jason : sam had overheard something that jake told danny . she put the pieces together , and i walked in on her confronting elizabeth . and i immediately sided with elizabeth . spinelli : i -- i mean , you were no doubt caught off - guard . jason : [ sighs ] more than that . you see , i ... i assumed that sam had an agenda . i thought that elizabeth was honest . i thought she was telling the truth , and i had it backward . sam was honest . she wanted me to know the truth . and how did i repay her ? i was brutally unfair to her . spinelli : i - i 'm sure that sam has already forgiven you . i mean , she knows the ... crazy circumstances that you 've been dealing with . jason : yeah , she does , but ... i just feel horrible about how i treated her . the whole year that i lived here , not knowing who i was , she would tell me about jason morgan , how much she loved him . she told me that she accepted his death and that she had moved on with her life . you know ... i could tell she was still grieving , and i knew some part of her always would . spinelli : but happily , that 's no longer the case , because you 've been restored to her . jason : no , i have n't . i 'm not the husband that she loved . we did n't share a life like this . i do n't know who i am , man . and frankly , i do n't know if that guy 's ever gon na come back . [ scene_break ] michael : you told me that we did n't know each other well enough to make a lifetime commitment , but it turns out , you know , you were right , sabrina . i do n't know you ! and you did n't trust me enough to tell me that you might be pregnant by carlos . sabrina : i made a mistake , michael . which led to another and another , okay . so now you know that carlos is this child 's biological father . but , look , you said it yourself . it 's love , michael , it 's love . that 's what makes a family -- not biology . c - can you give your love to this child ? so we can raise it together ? [ scene_break ] paul : [ scoffs ] y - you can pretend to be indifferent , but we both know better . we 've enjoyed each other these last few months . i do n't want to lose your friendship . tracy : [ laughs ] oh , i see . we 're friends now . paul : we can be . if you 'd just give me another chance . tracy ... we have spent the better part of two decades ignoring each other 's existence . i , for one ... ... do not want to go back there . [ sighs ] please forgive me . tracy : [ inhales sharply ] you 're right , i should . [ scene_break ] sam : so , this whole time , robin was being held captive ? patrick : she did n't want to leave me and emma . sam : i am so sorry . that 's horrible . patrick : believe me , i 'm the one that 's sorry . i was so sorry being hurt and angry that i did n't -- did n't bother to look closer . i just accepted weekly phone calls or skype calls with emma , and i did n't try to engage with robin myself . i did n't try to find out more . i did n't try , and ... i should have done more , sam . sam : i do n't know , patrick . like , why did n't i see , except for his face , that jake was exactly like jason ? i could n't because i did n't have all the information . and neither did you . so instead of beating yourself up for not being psychic , you should give yourself credit for figuring it out and rescuing robin in time . patrick : speaking of credit , i think i , uh , i owe you a little credit . sam : oh . [ chuckles ] i do n't think so . patrick : no , really . i 'm not exactly proud of the way that i handled the situation between you and jason , but our break - up is what led me to take emma to go to paris to try and find robin . and that 's where we realized what was really going on . so ... robin 's rescue is actually attributed to you holding on to your feelings for jason . [ scene_break ] spinelli : with all due respect , there 's no question of if jason morgan comes back . he -- you -- are standing right in front of me . jason : jason morgan is not some stranger i can hide from because he is me . spinelli : a most perceptive insight . jason : i guess so . it 's not mine . it 's carly 's . you know what , th - that 's kind of the problem . everybody around here -- they know me better than i know myself . so when i do something that just shocks the hell out of me and nobody else blinks an eye , it kind of freaks me out . spinelli : i assume you 're talking about your altercation with nikolas ? jason : a couple of days ago , i went after him at the floating rib . it was n't much of a fight . i just -- i snapped , and it was just ... automatic . a couple of guys pulled me off of him , and frankly , i was grateful because what good does it do for me to beat the hell out of nik ? it does n't give me my time back that i lost . it does n't lessen everybody else 's grieving -- not yours , not sam 's . so when i saw him on the terrace , i did , i tried to walk away . but he stopped me . spinelli : so nikolas was the aggressor ? jason : he hit me . then , like i said , everything 's just automatic . spinelli : i 'm sorry , having been soundly beaten by you a brief time before , i mean , he clearly knew what he was getting into . jason : this is what i 'm talking about with you . i mean , every time , you give me the benefit of the doubt because i 'm jason ? what have i done to deserve this loyalty ? spinelli : well , allow me to explain . you were -- you were my best friend . and my hero . instead of talking about what anyone owes jason , why do n't we talk about what you owe nikolas ? [ scene_break ] hayden : how about a little support ? how about you march your holier - than - thou butt down to the police station and tell them that jason has made repeated threats against nikolas and that he finally acted on those threats when he tried to kill him the night of the gala . elizabeth : nikolas , please . please , tell the police you fell by accident , and get hayden to back your story . hayden : no ! jason tried to beat nikolas to death twice in a matter of days . he 's dangerous , and he needs to be locked up . elizabeth : excuse me , is n't nikolas paying your bills ? is n't he giving you a place to live ? i think you 'll do exactly what he tells you . hayden : i 'm trying to protect nikolas . you only care about protecting the guy who wants him dead . elizabeth : you have no idea what 's at stake here . or -- or the history between us . nikolas , i -- i am so sorry i did n't listen to you back in may . i know i 'm the one who set all of this in motion . please , you just have to help me stop this before somebody else gets hurt . hayden : you really want jason to get away with this ? elizabeth : i just want this to be over ! and it can be ... if you make the right decision . [ monitors beeping ] [ door closes ] hayden : i do n't care how much history you share with that witch . she 's manipulating you , and i wo n't stand for it . [ scene_break ] robin : elizabeth . elizabeth : robin ! robin : hi . elizabeth : hi ! what are you doing here ? i thought you were in paris . robin : it 's complicated . do you have a moment ? elizabeth : yeah , of course . robin : well , first and foremost , i just wanted to tell you i 'm so happy for you that you got jake back . and just how unspeakably cruel what helena did to you . elizabeth : yeah , i -- thank you . i try not to dwell on it . the important thing is that we 've got jake back . robin : you and jason . patrick told me that you were engaged . elizabeth : yeah . uh , not -- not anymore . robin : does that mean ... elizabeth : jason broke our engagement when he found out i knew who he was and lied about it . robin : oh . well , why did you do that ? i mean , how ... how could you do that to jason ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : this may be too little , too late ... but i love you , michael . michael : [ sniffles ] you know , i ... i thought this was what i wanted . i did . i thought that , you know , we could give our child a happy family . sabrina : are you sure we ca n't still do that ? michael : i 'm not sure of anything anymore , sabrina , except for that you lied to me about the baby , not once , but over and over again . now , i - i could pretend to be okay with that , but you know what , i 'd be lying , too . and that is not the kind of life you should want for your child . [ scene_break ] anna : so , let 's just take everything step by step . one -- we 're reasonably certain now that carlos is still alive . i found that medal , and it has proof of his dna on it . so one of two things happened -- either he miraculously survived four bullets to the chest , or more likely , he was part of a set - up engineered by sloane to manipulate me . mac : and we know from ame gallagher that it was sloane 's body that was pulled from the harbor , shot twice at close range . anna : and paul pushed to have that body misidentified as carlos . mac : and he wanted the remains cremated to avoid a second autopsy . anna : sloane was in possession of paul 's cell number . and i got a text message from sloane 's phone after he was already dead . mac : so what 's the common denominator ? anna : our esteemed da , paul hornsby . [ scene_break ] tracy : i should forgive you . [ sighs ] i have no one to blame but myself . you are just the latest in a long line of bad choices . in my own defense , i 'm -- i 'm still a little off my game . i went through a hell year with luke , and i was looking for a little light entertainment . and you fit the bill . paul : i 'd like to think it was a little bit more than that . tracy : oh , of course you would ! that 's how you were able to manipulate me , and you 're still trying . i ignored everything i know about you because of dillon . i was so sure you were sincere about wanting to connect with him . paul : no , i am sincere . and i also wanted to reconnect with you , as the mother of my son . if you read any more than that into my intentions ... i - i truly regret the misunderstanding . tracy : i was expedient . so was dillon . now you 're dancing as fast as you can to try to salvage something . because if i disclose that you are sleeping with a known criminal like ava jerome , you will definitely lose your job . aww . oh , and maybe you 'll even go to prison . give me one reason why i should n't make that happen . [ scene_break ] sam : um , no , i - i ca n't take any credit for saving robin . you did that yourself . you followed your instincts . patrick : which is exactly what you did with jason . you knew something was n't right , and you did n't let it go , and i fought you every step of the way . and i 'm sorry . sam : no , patrick , you were fighting for our life together . and i am so happy that we were worth fighting for . but , you know , you -- you said something to me that night that resonated . you said that jason was my true love , and i would always want a chance with him . you knew that because of robin . she is your true love . you 're always gon na want a chance with her , and now you have one . patrick : what about you , huh ? sam : what about me ? patrick : well ... now that jason knows that elizabeth was lying to him ... what 's gon na happen ? are you guys gon na -- are you guys gon na get a second chance ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : what do you know about yourself ? jason : [ sighs ] what do i know about myself ? let 's see . i know that i was married to sam . spinelli : uh - huh . jason : and that i killed people for sonny . spinelli : well , that 's a bit of a simplification . jason : no , i do n't think so . i killed two people just this summer . everybody said , `` that 's exactly what jason would do , `` like it was no big deal . spinelli : okay , well , yes , you do possess skills of a lethal nature , but you used them sparingly . i - in defense of those you cared about , and often for the sake of people who are weaker than you that needed your help . jason : ah . [ chuckles ] well , look , i 'm sorry , but i 've been getting to know sonny here and there , and yeah , he seems like a good guy ... for a mobster . and i do n't see how keeping him in power is a noble endeavor . spinelli : he befriended you when you were alone and alienated , much in the same way that you , in turn , befriended me . and you honed your natural talents to support his ambitions . jason : [ sighs ] spinelli : though there is no question that you were well - suited to the life of an outlaw . you were unswervingly loyal . [ sighs ] incredibly generous . and fair . quite surely the fairest person i ever met . and ... i 'm speaking here in terms of treating people justly , not [ sniffles ] your light hair and beautiful blue eyes . jason : no , i - i understand . i got it . thanks . spinelli : those who call you `` killer `` do n't know you . those who call you `` friend `` do . and i 'm one of those . and i - i fervently hope that you regain your memory , but even if you do n't ... i 'm still your friend . [ scene_break ] hayden : i do n't pretend to understand your so - called history with elizabeth webber , but there is no way you are obligated to cover for a man who tried to kill you . nikolas : she 's entitled to her opinion . it does n't mean i agree with her . hayden : nikolas , are you sure you should be sitting up ? nikolas : [ groans , coughs ] why not ? hayden : i do n't know , you just still seem a little groggy . nikolas : i am . however , i was listening . calculating my strategy . hayden : your strategy ? nikolas : well , jason was arrested for trying to kill me , right ? how can we play that to our advantage ? [ scene_break ] robin : i know how hard it was for my family to grieve for me when i was n't dead . i mean , i can only imagine what jason 's family is going through . elizabeth : and you 're wondering how i could do that to sam and danny , monica , carly , sonny . robin : well , yes . elizabeth : [ sighs ] robin , i lied because when i first knew him , h - he was jake doe . he was a man without a past . and when he was discharged from the hospital , he did n't have a place to go , so i took him in . and i fell in love with him . and when i found out he was jason , i knew what was gon na happen -- i knew that carly was going to drag him back into his old life , right back to sam , because she 's the only woman who can tolerate carly , and i did n't want that . so , yeah . i lied . i lied to keep him with me , to protect the family that i wanted to have with him and my boys . and i know it was selfish and it was unfair , but you know what ? i 'd do it again . so , go ahead . have at me . everybody else has . you can ... give me all the reasons why i should be punished . robin : oh , no , i 'm -- [ chuckles ] i 'm not here to judge you . i mean , obviously , you 're ... [ sighs ] you 're punishing yourself . [ scene_break ] michael : i know you ere n't being malicious , okay . you lied because you were scared . sabrina : still a lie . one that i 'll always regret . um , i ' m gon na -- i 'm gon na be moving back in with felix , so you do n't have to stay here to avoid me . michael : look , raising a baby is expensive , okay , especially on your own . i can help you financially with every -- sabrina : i - i - i do n't want your money , michael . i never did . i wanted you . too much , i guess . i lied to keep you , and so , of course , i lost you . michael : sorry . sabrina : why are you apologizing ? i 'm the one who messed up . anyway ... there 's no point in dragging this out , so i 'm gon na go . michael : uh , sabrina , wait . sabrina : is there something you wanted to say ? michael : uh ... this is , uh , this is for the baby . it 's , um , it 's a little late , but ... merry christmas . sabrina : merry christmas . [ scene_break ] sam : i do n't expect jason to come running back to me . i 'm just -- i 'm really happy that everything is out in the open . jason knows who he is . he knows who i am . everything else is kind of up for grabs . patrick : well , that 's how i feel about robin . i - i 'm really not sure about the future , but ... i 'm really grateful for right now . sam : yeah . patrick : you know , when someone 's taken from you and it 's not your fault and they come back to you , it kind of feels like a miracle , does n't it ? sam : yeah , but not every miracle has good timing . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : sorry . you 're the last person i should be unloading on . [ sighs ] robin : i just ca n't imagine what that would have been like , falling in love with jason not knowing it was him . elizabeth : you probably think you would have recognized him , but no one did . robin : is he very different ? elizabeth : well , his face is . but in other ways , he 's exactly the same . [ scene_break ] hayden : before we talk strategy , how long have you been faking ? nikolas : [ chuckles ] hayden , i simply took a page from your book . i used my real injury to buy some time to consider my next move . hayden : so you let me think that you were hurt worse than you really are ? nikolas : only fair . hayden : no , it 's not . i was scared to death for you . nikolas : i appreciate your concern . but thanks to you , my options are wide open where jason is concerned . [ scene_break ] spinelli : what is diane 's assessment of your case ? jason : i have to admit , she 's as good as everybody says she is . she was able to get me out on bail , despite my record . spinelli : well , then trust her to provide you with a vigorous defense . after all , you are most assuredly innocent . jason : you 're a very sweet guy , but you are not a good listener . i just told you that i am not . spinelli : what -- nikolas hit you first . it is his bad luck that your ability to defend yourself exceeds anyone , save perhaps an mma fighter or a navy seal . jason : i appreciate you believing in me . spinelli : well , i look forward to the day when you can believe in yourself . jason : hey , uh ... i can see why your friendship meant so much to me . i have to tell you that it still does . [ scene_break ] anna : sloane told me that he kept my gun and carlos ' id . mac : and that id was found on the body in the harbor . anna : sloane 's body . so let 's say paul and sloane agree to meet . sloane explains the whole set - up to him -- that he has proof that i shot carlos , but that actually , he 's still alive . so paul decides to use that evidence against me , but now he 's got this one loose end -- sloane . mac : so paul kills him , plants carlos ' id on the body , and dumps the body in the harbor . that way , carlos is declared dead and paul 's got leverage over you . anna : i mean , it all fits . in theory . we do n't have any proof . mac : hey , come on , one , we 've got the medical examiner 's report and paul 's cell number from sloane 's apartment . that 's enough to open an investigation . anna : if it leads where i think it will ... da hornsby 's guilty of murder . mac : [ chuckles ] let 's get to work . come on . [ scene_break ] paul : it 's a bit of a stretch to think you could send me to prison . but if that were possible , would you really want to do that to dillon ? tracy : do n't hide behind our son . paul : tracy , i need to know what you 're going to do about this thing with ava . tracy : well ... if i could leak it to the media without appearing as stupid as i feel , the scandal would already be trending . but i 'm opting to protect my privacy , thereby protecting yours . however , have no fear ... ... i will find a way to pay you back eventually . paul : tracy , i would like for us to part amicably . tracy : too bad . i do n't care what you want . get out . paul : [ clears throat ] [ door opens , closes ] [ scene_break ] sam : i have absolutely no expectations where jason 's concerned . a - a couple of days ago , he was in handcuffs and elizabeth was hugging him . so as far as i know , they 're back together . patrick : what do you mean , handcuffs ? sam : oh . um , he and nikolas got into a fight at the gala . and nikolas fell from the terrace of the metro court restaurant . patrick : fell ? sam : yeah , well ... hayden barnes insisted that jason pushed him . patrick : what do you think ? sam : i -- i do n't know . i - i think whatever happened , nikolas started it . patrick : no argument here . i know better than try and turn you against jason . sam : any more than i would try and turn you against robin . patrick : i love her . sam : i know you do . patrick : but i am ... so grateful for the time that i had with you . sam : i agree . and just because it did n't last , it does n't mean it was n't real . i really , really loved our little family . patrick : so did i . sam : [ sighs ] i 'm gon na miss you . patrick : miss you , too . sam : goodbye . patrick : goodbye , sam . sam : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : we need to hold off giving any more statements to the police until we decide which version of the story works best for us . hayden : what are you talking about ? i already talked to the police . i told them what happened -- that jason pushed you off the terrace . nikolas : yes . i know you did . but has it occurred to you that a free jason may be worth more to us than a jason in prison ? [ scene_break ] robin : oh , i 'm sorry . [ chuckles ] i did n't realize anybody was up here . i 'll leave you in peace . jason : hey , hey , wait . are you robin ? robin : jason ?

patrick and sam both admit that they are not entirely certain what the future holds now that they 've both been re - united with their respective long - lost spouses , given all the circumstances . yet they graciously praise each other and admit they are grateful to have had what they had together . robin is happy to be back in town with her friends and families away from the previous threats and imprisonment . yet jason is overwhelmed with confusion from not remembering anything about his past or the man everybody in town knew yet he has no recollection of as well as upset to have been betrayed by elizabeth . he talks to spinelli about his altercation with nikolas , wondering if he should be proud of his past history of violence and killing for sonny . yet spinelli is able to encourage him that he was loved and respected in the past and can be again . elizabeth wants jason to be absolved of legal consequences for injuring nikolas , protests to nikolas and to hayden that it was an accident . yet , hayden adamantly protests that jason has threatened nikolas on numerous occasions and intended to kill him when she saw him pushing nikolas off the metro court terrace . when hayden is alone with nikolas in his room , he reveals to her that he has been `` playing `` things to his advantage by having everyone believing his injury was worse than it was . although she tells him she wants jason locked up , he tells her that a `` free `` jason will be more to their mutual advantage than jason in prison . tracy is ready to get rid of paul after discovering him in bed with ava , and reveals she is not `` hurt `` because he 's not important enough for her to care about . she tells him she knows he can not be trusted and he only wants to apologize and appeal to her knowing if she revealed that the da has been sleeping with a known criminal , he would be fired or put in prison . anna and mac go off together and brainstorm about their theory of how it 's obvious that `` somebody `` wanted her to falsely believe she killed carlos . sloane must have informed paul and paul knew he had to silence him by killing him and it would enable paul to falsify the murder victim as carlos when , in fact it was sloane . they are confident that they have to proof needed to expose paul and take action against him . michael concludes that he can not commit to sabrina or trust after she 's lied to him . yet he wishes her and the baby well and has a christmas gift for the baby .

[ robin giggles ] patrick : seriously , `` domestic `` is n't really a word that i would associate with you . robin : really ? well , for your information , i am very domestic . patrick : is that right ? robin : yes . patrick : all right , well , i am going to need some sustenance before i do anything -- robin : no , no , no , no ! organize first , and then we eat . you can put it in the kitchen until we 're ready . in the meantime , i 'm going to make up the bed , and work on some mood lighting . patrick : unbelievable . [ robin giggles ] robin : oh . ok . [ scene_break ] skye : lorenzo is a very complicated man -- just like sonny . carly : lorenzo 's nothing like sonny . skye : are you sure about that ? look at the way they live their lives , the way we live ours by extension . no day is promised or certain , every moment colored by the possibility of sudden random death . oh -- and sonny and lorenzo are deceitful , too . see , carly , something about us -- we respond to the call of the wild . we like living on the edge . not to mention how empowering it is to be able to give the poor , misunderstood mobster a gentle touch to keep him going , or inspire his passion . we 're all cut from the same cloth . lorenzo and sonny are at least as much alike as you and i are . carly : yeah -- and from where i 'm standing , i got the better end of the deal . you 're so deep in lorenzo 's world that you are spouting off his garbage and that , my friend , is the first step in a long walk through hell . lorenzo : oh . the car 's road - ready again . skye : not a moment too soon . regardless , i wish you luck . carly : right back at you . you 're the one who 's going to need it . lorenzo : thank you for the port in the storm .

[ both laugh ] dominic : i 'll give you a clue , okay ? i 'm following through on a promise i made to you . in the basement when we were freezing and drowning . lulu : okay , no , now you 're just making me think of cold thoughts . just spit it out ! dominic : okay , fine . we ... are going to the opera .

[ olivia sighs ] [ scene_break ] michael : i still do n't get what the problem is . police officer : well , for one thing , mr. corinthos , you 're underage . and as i stated , you were driving erratically . i 'm going to have to ask you to take a breathalyzer test . michael : and what if i say no ? police officer : well , under new york 's zero tolerance law , that would be an automatic suspension of your license for one year , because you 're under 21 . and there 'd be several fines . and i 'd have to take you downtown . michael : is this a slow night or something ? you trying to make that quota for a trip to hawaii ? police officer : okay , sir . i need you to turn around and put your hands behind your back . lucky : i 'll take this . police officer : detective spencer . lucky : yeah . police officer : got a suspected dui here . lucky : oh . hey , brad , good to see you . actually , mr. corinthos is a person of interest in an investigation i 'm working on . why do n't you let me handle this one ? police officer : let me know if you need anything for the report . have a good night . lucky : thank you . you okay ? michael : yeah , i 'm great . your buddy just made up some garbage about me driving erratically or whatever . lucky : no , brad 's a good cop . he would n't have pulled you over unless he had a good reason . so how much did you drink tonight , michael ? michael : i did n't , okay ? look , i appreciate you helping me out , but i know why you did it . and it does n't change anything . i still do n't know anything about claudia . lucky : why do n't we just forget about claudia for a second , then , okay ? let 's talk about the real problem . michael : what 's that ? lucky : your father .

[ lulu laughs ] [ scene_break ] alexis : you girls , you just ca n't keep popping in at sam 's house every time you feel like it , because she has a life . kristina : if i would have asked you , you just would have said no . alexis : not necessarily . however , this time i would have . molly : because jason 's a tragic hero whose life invites unexpected danger . alexis : yeah . well , that , too . but what i want to talk to you about is how i did n't appreciate the two of you conspiring to try to throw me and mac together . molly : but you belong together , mom . kristina : just give it a chance . alexis : girls , i 'm sorry , but this is not going to happen . kristina : so you 're saying that you have n't had a good time with mac , like , every time you guys have hung out so far ? alexis : and i never said that . molly : you do n't think mac is handsome ? alexis : i think mac is a very nice - looking guy , but -- molly : so you admit there 's an attraction ? alexis : not that kind , molly . kristina : we asked sam what she thought , and she agreed with us . alexis : you could have asked sam anything and she would have told anything you wanted , because she wanted you out of the house because she obviously had plans with jason . molly : which , if you think about it , is actually a very textbook example of romantic symmetry . sam and jason lost each other , found each other again , and they 're now more in love than ever . alexis : really ? what textbooks are you reading now , my love ? that jacket is not going to be warm enough . molly : oh , okay . kristina : sam 's a lot happier now . molly : yeah , mom . why would n't you want something like that for yourself ? alexis : oh , my god ! [ scene_break ] jason : okay , i need you to cross - reference a list of places franco 's been while he 's been in port -- what ? spinelli : stone cold , if i may , i know i previously stated this , but i really think you need to reconsider my suggestion that you made a grave error in refusing fair samantha 's -- jason : okay , you know what , i do n't have time for relationship advice right now , spinelli . spinelli : my own trials and tribulations with maximista have given me insight into your relationship with fair samantha , especially as it relates to the darkly focused one . jason : fine , what ? spinelli : okay , franco is a formidable adversary , and he has a distinct advantage over you . jason : yeah , i 'm aware of that , thank you very much . spinelli : i think his advantage lies in the fact that he is not hindered by fear for loved ones . jason : and that he 's been planning this for months . spinelli : yeah , indeed he has . and it has become rather obvious that his gamesmanship has affected stone cold 's actions , and his ... moods ? jason : what are you trying to say right now , that i 'm stressed out ? i am stressed out , because i 'm dealing with a lunatic , and if there 's forensic evidence on claudia 's body , michael could go to prison ! spinelli : i 'm not trying to discount the troubling nature of the threat that franco poses . i -- i just think that if stone cold truly does wish to triumph , he also has to utilize his various resources , like the jackal 's cyber skills , and utilizing his beloved fair samantha 's offer for him to relax with her . jason : you think franco 's just taking a night off ? spinelli : i think it was da vinci who touted the necessity of relaxation for when you return to work , your judgment will be sure . jason : [ sighs ] and there 's a part of me that feels i should be with sam tonight . spinelli : i think you should trust your keen instincts . what are they telling you ? jason : that 's the problem . i do n't know anymore . [ scene_break ] michael : look , just because you turned your back on your father does n't mean i 'm going to do the same thing . lucky : actually , if you think about it , you already have , in a way . just like you 've turned on yourself . michael : that 's a bunch of crap . i thought you were a cop , not dr. phil . lucky : i 'm trying to help you , michael . i 've been through some similar stuff , okay ? every family has its secrets . some , a lot worse than others , but every family 's got 'em . and every parent tries to protect their kid from finding out those secrets . they only want their children to see the best face that they have . and then one day , you find out that the one thing ... that you were never supposed to know about , and it changes the way you see your parents forever . michael : i do n't have a problem with my parents . we 're fine . lucky : i do n't think you believe that any more than i do . look , man . i thought i knew my dad . i mean , i idolized him . there was nothing that luke spencer could n't do . no situation that he could n't handle . but that all changed for me when i finally saw him for who he really was . michael : look , i appreciate that you 're trying to help me out . but i 'm telling you , i 'm fine . everything is fine . lucky : michael , i do n't think it is . otherwise , you would n't be drinking and driving and basically begging to get caught . i know how that feels . and when i lost faith in my dad , i told myself i was just being rebellious or whatever , but the truth is , i was trying to hurt him . and i knew how much he loved me . so the best way to hurt him was to hurt myself . and it 's pretty obvious to me that you 're doing the exact same thing right now . [ scene_break ] [ johnny sighs ] olivia : okay , are we going to talk about this , or are you just going to get wasted ? you know what , if you 're pissed off , wo n't let me explain , then i can just leave . johnny : you might as well just do that . because nothing you 're going to say right now is going to change the way i 'm feeling , anyway . olivia : you know what ; i was n't expecting to run into sonny at the restaurant tonight , okay ? i went there because that 's where we planned to meet . sonny was there , he started pushing my buttons . and it worked , all right , because he 's good at it . johnny : yeah . olivia : i lost my cool , and it all went downhill from there . what happened to your hand ? johnny : i -- olivia : what is that ? let me see , what happened to you ? johnny : i found out who killed my sister tonight . i finally know the truth . now i 'm thinking it puts me in a pretty interesting position , considering your son 's a cop . [ scene_break ] michael : why do you keep trying to compare us ? you and i are nothing alike . my dad 's nothing like your dad . lucky : they 're more similar than you might think , michael . there 's a lot of good in both of them . enough to make you want to ignore what they 're trying to hide . look , i never used to question what my dad did . anybody we swindled was just another sucker who deserved it . my dad had an answer for everything . i mean , he could easily handle any situation we were up against . and i know that you 've grown up watching your dad run his organization . but the problem is you do n't really know how sonny got that power or what he does to keep it . michael : that 's where you 're wrong . i know everything about my dad and his business . i got shot in the head by someone who was trying to take him out , remember ? lucky : right . and sonny loves you too much for you to ever consider blaming him for letting you get shot . or getting angry with him for the year that you lost . instead , you just find other ways to get back at him . like tonight . it 's pretty obvious to me that you 've been drinking , michael . i can smell it from here . anybody could . you 're pushing the limits . and you want sonny to know about it , because you want him to feel guilty . michael : so are we done now ? you want me to give you some money for the shrink session , or are you going to arrest me ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] maxie : oh , i ca n't take this any longer . jason : this is not a good time ! maxie : when is it ever a good time for you ? lulu took off on some huge romantic date with dominic , and that made me realize that i miss what we have together . you know , the real us . not the us we are when we 're ignoring the fact that i cheated on you with franco . so please , spinelli , we need to fix this . and you are going to help us . jason : i do n't have time for this ! maxie : you do n't have time to do spinelli and me a huge and necessary favor by ordering him to cheat on me with another woman ? ! spinelli : maximista , this is manifestly not the time -- maxie : no , spinelli , please . this has gone on for way too long , okay ? we need to make this right . do n't let franco ruin the best thing that i had in my life . [ scene_break ] johnny : someone sent me a picture in the mail . olivia : what was it ? johnny : ah . it was a hole in the ground out in the pine barrens . olivia : your sister 's grave ? johnny : past tense . olivia : what do you mean ? johnny : [ sighs ] well , it was of claudia 's empty grave . some psycho dug up her body and is using it as bait for jason . olivia : oh , my god . how do you know that ? johnny : because i took the picture to jason . and he finally told me the truth about everything . how claudia died , who killed her . that , uh , he buried her and this psycho dug her ... dug her up . i was ready to kill him , i swear , but then i realized i could n't because it 's not really his fault , you know ? olivia : whose fault is it ? who killed her ? johnny : well , i 'm sure you have your suspicions , right ? hmm ? you 're afraid i 'm going to use what i know to get revenge ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i have to agree with maxie . getting a private plane to turn around -- that 's ... impressive . nathan : [ chuckles ] yeah , i told myself that i would never go to my mother for help . spinelli : it 's maxie . nathan : yeah . [ chuckles ] spinelli : [ chuckles ] nathan : i got it bad , huh ? spinelli : oh , pishposh . once upon a time , i had `` it `` worse than you . [ chuckles ] and for good reason . um , maxie 's incredible -- so full of energy and life , but also of the wrong - headed opinion that she is selfish when , in fact , nothing could be further from the truth . nathan : i know why i believe that , but why do you ? spinelli : well , no one who is truly selfish ... could make someone feel like the most important person in the world . nathan : [ chuckles ] spinelli : maxie literally changed me for the better . nathan : i can see how she has that effect on people . spinelli : and i never thought anybody else could make me feel that way until i meet ellie , and this -- this life that i have with ellie and georgie -- it was inconceivable before maxie . nathan : you know , i - i 've been with maxie through every step of this whole custody nightmare , and we 've -- she showed me pictures , and we did that video- chat thing , but ... i 've never actually met georgie in person . spinelli : would you like to ? [ scene_break ] dante : what 's the job ? congratulations . lulu -- she did n't mention anything about it to me . fluke : uh , well , it 's not official , yet , and i 'd rather you did n't mention anything to her . dante : she does n't know ? fluke : no , no . and i do n't want her to know until it 's a real deal . see , uh , tracy and i -- we have decided to start a business together . dante : that 's cool . what kind of business ? fluke : uh , derivatives . dante : derivatives of what ? fluke : i have no idea . [ both chuckle ] fluke : truly . you know , tracy 's the businesswoman . it was her idea . she knows that all i want is an ability to make a quick buck and to make her happy . dante : yeah , yeah . fluke : and tell you the truth , your brother banning her from elq has , uh , really come down hard on her . dante : [ sighs ] yeah , look , i - i have n't really talked to michael about that . i do n't know all the ins and outs . fluke : oh , no , no , no , no . dante , uh , i do n't want you to intervene . believe me , i 'd never ask you to do that . and , truth is , i ca n't blame michael . every time he looks at my face , he 's got to be thinking about that con man that tried to get the family business away from them . dante : yeah , but you know , mikey -- he 's a good kid . okay , it wo n't be long before he realizes that you are n't that guy . fluke : yeah , i hope so . [ scene_break ] anna : your inquiry ? that 's -- that 's interesting , 'cause i think i might have called it more of a witch hunt . [ chuckles ] agent sloane : well , call it whatever you want . it 's on hold . the whole case is under review . anna : you do n't say . agent sloane : seems my superior got a call from the head of the wsb and suddenly our ... history has become a topic of concern , and now [ chuckles ] i 'm being investigated for having a conflict of interest . anna : well , do n't you ? agent sloane : you want to talk about conflicts of interest ? how about the fact that the new head of the wsb just happens to be one of your oldest friends , frisco jones ? you go back further with him than you do with duke lavery , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] duke : why do n't you tell me what 's going on ? lucy : [ inhales deeply ] okay . scott actually asked me to spend new year 's eve with him . duke : well , congratulations . lucy : no ! not congratulations . it 's terrible . [ sighs ] duke : why ? is n't that exactly what you wanted ? lucy : yeah , it was . before he chose booby over me . duke : [ chuckles ] well , now he 's obviously back to choosing you , so win - win . lucy : no . lose - lose . the only reason he 's choosing me is because booby kicked him to the curb . look , i - i do n't want to be someone 's choice by default . i - i - i really want someone to feel they 're madly , madly in love with me , and they 're so blind that they do n't see any other options . i just -- [ sighs ] i 've just come way too far to be bobbie spencer 's sloppy seconds . duke : [ chuckles ] you make that sound like a special at kelly 's . [ laughs ] lucy : that is not funny ! duke : no , you 're right . but you have the chance to spend some time with scott baldwin . are you willing to give that up because -- because of a matter of pride ? [ scene_break ] julian : what the hell are you talking about , jordan ? jordan : i saw the way the wind was blowing . the jerome organization -- it 's crumbling , okay ? so by going against you , i proved my worth to shawn and to duke . julian : you 're lying . jordan : do you really want to risk it ? if you take me out , you will have declared war on duke 's organization . and this -- this whole -- whole cold war that keeps everything in balance will get very , very hot . so ... do you still think that you have to kill me ? do you want to shoot me dead ? [ scene_break ] lulu : [ gasps , claps ] oh ! when i 'm right , i 'm right . maxie : goes with the shoes , too , and that 's the most important thing . lulu : okay , so , nathan 's on his way , you 're dressed to the nines . when will you tell me about your week in portland ? maxie : oh , it was the best week of my life . i mean , i got to feed my daughter , change her , put her to sleep . sometimes those things were a challenge . lulu : i feel your pain . maxie : sometimes we would just do nothing at all , you know ? i 'd look at her face , and she 'd look at mine . we were really just getting to know each other . lulu : you did take her shopping , right ? maxie : of course , i did . i mean , georgie 's clothes are cute and adorable , but more in an `` i 'm being raised by a nerd `` sort of way . so , i , of course , had to supplement all the outfits i got her for christmas . lulu : of course . maxie : and then we went to the portland aquarium , and her face just lit up . you 'd be surprised by how much she can talk . i really think my daughter might be a genius . lulu : look at you . you sound like a mom . maxie : it 's because i 'm actually starting to feel like one . and i do n't know . maybe it 's a good thing that nathan and i got our signals crossed . lulu : why is that ? maxie : because now he has the chance to meet my daughter . [ scene_break ] nathan : i can not get over how much she looks like maxie . spinelli : yeah . it 's uncanny , is n't it ? nathan : hi , georgie . how you doing , baby ? spinelli : you know , you 're quite the natural . nathan : yeah , i guess -- i do n't know . i guess i 've always been good with kids . you know , i ca n't wait to have one of my own . spinelli : wait . one of your own ? are -- i had no idea you and maxie were that serious . nathan : oh , no , no , no . i do n't mean right now . spinelli : oh . nathan : i just -- you know , it 's just something that i want at some point in my life , when i 'm more prepared . spinelli : you know what ? we should probably head to the airstrip if you want to catch your flight , right ? nathan : yeah . hey , listen , thanks for giving me a ride . i really hope i 'm not ... keeping you and ellie from your plans . spinelli : oh , no , no , no . ellie and i will be together long before midnight . and if the gods , the fates , and the jet stream are all on your side , you will be with maxie , as well . [ scene_break ] agent sloane : you can pull all the strings you want to have my inquiry investigated . i have nothing to hide . but you -- you do , anna . and no matter how many friends you have in high places , you still broke the law . and i 'm gon na make sure you pay for that . anna : knock yourself out . [ scene_break ] lucy : i am going to take the high road . i am going to proceed with dignity . i 'm gon na go home and put on my little feetsie pajamas , and i 'm going to get all the chocolate i have and eat it . and then i 'm gon na have a lovely glass of wine . and then i 'm gon na watch ... [ sighs ] `` rockin ' eve . `` duke : you could do that . or else , you could spend new year 's with me . [ scene_break ] jordan : you shoot me , not only will you start a mob war with lavery , but you 're gon na destroy everything that you 're trying to build with the zaccharas . julian : no , you 've already done that , jordan . jordan : [ chuckles ] jordan : that dream that you have of running all three territories -- that will never happen . but you want to shoot me ? go ahead . i dare you . julian : lucky for you , i have more sense than my old boss . he already would have shot you halfway through your so - called intimidation speech . i 'm not gon na forget this , jordan . i 'll be seeing you around . [ door closes ] [ cell phone ringing ] anna : [ sighs ] this has been lovely , but , uh , duty calls . agent sloane : well , you 'll be hearing from me . [ ringing continues ] anna : lunch is on me . i insist . agent sloane : [ chuckles ] no , i could n't possibly accept a gift from the subject of my inquiry . imagine how that would look , hmm ? anna : [ chuckles ] yeah . what 's up ? jordan : we have a problem . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm sorry . uh ... i should n't have let this go on as long as i did . elizabeth : do n't you dare apologize . okay , i accept the reasons you 're leaving . but i hope you know how much you mean to me and the boys . do n't you want to say goodbye to cameron and aiden ? jason : could you say goodbye for me ? elizabeth : but they 're gon na be home tomorrow . you should just stay . just for new year 's ? [ scene_break ] fluke : julian . i was beginning to think you had forgotten about me . julian : [ sighs ] fluke : so , is it done ? julian : no . there 's been a complication . [ scene_break ] jordan : the only way that i could get julian to back off is just to -- is to tell him that i work for the corinthos organization . so you win , commissioner . you win . i am gon na stay undercover , and i 'm gon na continue lying to my son . anna : all right . well , look , i feel like i have pressured you into doing this , and i am sorry . i can have you and tj put into witness protection if you feel like that -- jordan : no , no , no , no , no . i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't want to uproot his life again . i just want to -- i just want this over with , and this is the fastest way that this can happen . dante : we will have your back every step of the way . anna : we will . all we have to do now is convince duke that you want to join forces . [ scene_break ] lucy : you and me spend new year 's eve together ? duke : why not ? we are old friends . we are both unattached . why should n't we ring in the new year together ? i may not be a baldwin , but i most certainly am a scot .

[ both chuckle ] [ scene_break ] jason : well , it is new year 's eve -- the perfect time for me to figure out my future . elizabeth : promise me you wo n't be shoveling snow at midnight . jason : [ chuckles ] i promise . actually , one of my resolutions is to find a better job . better get started . elizabeth : i hope you remember who you are and you find the people who love you . they 're gon na be so lucky to have you back . jason : thank you . happy new year . take care . elizabeth : happy new year .

[ sighs ] where are you , nathan ? [ next_on ] carly : ( to jason ) maybe you gave up on elizabeth too easily .

[ scene_break ] hayden : yes , i 'd miss you . and for all the obvious reasons -- the generous financial support , the luxurious living conditions , the prestigious job at elq . nikolas : [ chuckles ] right , would n't want to lose the guy that pays the bills , would you ? hayden : i 'd also miss your company . your cynical charm and your unexpected compassion . i 'd miss watching you with spencer . i 'd also miss this little dance that we do , wondering if we can trust each other . i mean , come to think of it , i 'd miss you a lot . nikolas : really ? well , thanks to the scaffold that broke my fall , i survived , and we can continue this little dance of ours , if you like . or not . hayden : what do you mean ? nikolas : i mean ... maybe we should stop dancing and start trusting each other . [ scene_break ] kiki : yeah , actually , i had to agree to spend christmas with my mother and avery , so i could bring her to see her dad . morgan : hmm . i 'm sorry . that must have sucked . kiki : eh , it was actually kind of nice , you know , not to be alone . and it was fun watching avery play with the paper instead of the toys . morgan : yeah , but i mean , ava manipulated you into hanging out with her . i mean , you 're not okay with that , right ? kiki : i mean , what am i supposed to say ? hating my mom , it was n't really getting me anywhere . it was keeping me separated from avery . it was keeping me bitter and angry , so ... yeah , i just , i had to find a way to move on . morgan : forgive and forget , huh ? kiki : um , no , actually . neither of those . i do n't trust my mom , and i do n't think i ever will . but i love my sister , so i 'm willing to tolerate ava . morgan : well , i 'm glad you 're making progress with your mom . i wish i could say the same about my parents . [ scene_break ] dante : have you talked to ava ? sonny : no . why would i ? dante : well , i figured with her allowing avery to visit on christmas , maybe you guys began a truce . sonny : avery visiting has nothing to do with ava . it 's all to do with kiki . i learned a long time ago not to , you know -- ava has no humanity . she 's dangerous . even more so now . dante : why do you say that ? sonny : nothing . dante : would n't have something to do with this gun - runner named raj running around town , would it ? sonny : we already talked about this . i do n't -- i do n't have anything to do with arms dealers . dante : i hope you mean that . sonny : do n't worry about me . you 've got to deal with your own life . you 've got to figure out where you stand with lulu . dante : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] lulu : christmas was nice . dante and i both made an effort . for rocco 's sake . johnny : mm - hmm . lulu : it was progress . i think once valerie 's out of the picture , dante and i can figure out if there 's any way for us to move forward . johnny : you know i care about your happiness , right , lulu ? it 's why i offered to get rid of valerie for you . lulu : mm - hmm . but ? johnny : but i 'm a good friend , right ? i would be remiss if i did n't tell you what a mistake i thought it was if you got back together with dante . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know , you and lulu seemed fine at christmas . dante : a couple nice moments do n't change the fact that she filed for separation . she wants our marriage to end . w - w - what do you want me to do ? i cheated on her . i have to agree with whatever she wants to do . sonny : that 's it , just like that , right ? i do n't buy it . that 's your pride talking . dante : my pride ? sonny : you screwed up big - time . you do n't know how to fix it , so you 're saying , `` oh , i 'll just cut my losses and move on . `` is that really what you want ? if you put half your energy into getting lulu back a - as you have into rationalizing all this ... the outcome would be different . dante : yeah . there 's just some things you do n't ... that are going on that you do n't know about . sonny : speak to me . dante : i ca n't right now . sonny : what do you mean you ca n't ? dante : i ca n't -- i 'm here for work . sonny : well -- dante : you take it easy . okay ? talk to you later .

[ scene_break ] dante : nikolas . miss barnes . i 'm here to get your account of the events that led up to your fall from the metro court terrace . nikolas : [ chuckles softly ] still a little hazy . dante : well , i 'll be brief , but the investigation is proceeding , so i want to get your side of what happened . hayden : take your time , nikolas . if it becomes too much , i 'll be right here . dante : actually , miss barnes , since you 're a witness , as well , i need to question you separately . so if you 'll excuse us . hayden : no , i do n't want to leave . i do n't think that 's a good idea . dante : why not ? you worried your stories wo n't match up ? [ scene_break ] robin : kind of funny that i found you up here . jason : is it ? robin : yeah . why did you end up here ? jason : oh , i just wanted to get away from everyone . sort things out . i guess ... sort myself out . robin : well , there are a lot of places to be alone . why did you pick this place ? jason : i 'm not sure . i like it here . something about the view of the city . what about you ? why are you up here ? robin : [ chuckles ] this place is really important to me . it 's where you and i fell in love .

[ scene_break ] patrick : robin has been through an unimaginable ordeal . i 'm not gon na pressure her into a reunion . maxie : okay , but just to clarify , t - the facts are that robin did n't want to leave you and emma . that was coerced , right ? patrick : yes , but a lot of time has passed , maxie . maxie : and she did n't voluntarily divorce you . that was also coerced ? patrick : true . maxie : so she did n't want to leave and she did n't want a divorce . i mean , it 's pretty safe to say that she would welcome a reunion . patrick : it 's not that simple , i do n't think . maxie : what if it is that simple ? if robin loves you and you love robin , why ca n't you guys be together ? [ scene_break ] robin : the first time i came up here , i was with ... my boyfriend . um ... he was dying of aids . and he had made this bucket list . and he wanted to bungee jump off the bridge . [ chuckles ] so ... i stood here , and i watched him jump off . he was so young and vibrant and alive . and ... six months later , he was dead . by then , i had already been diagnosed with hiv . jason : wow . um ... that 's a lot . i 'm sorry . how old were you ? robin : i was only 18 . and back then , you know , hiv was a death sentence . so i would come up here , and i would think about the future that i was n't going to have . think about how long i would have before the virus actually took my life . and then one day i - i came up here , and there was a boy . [ chuckles ] you . i had known you before the accident as jason quartermaine , but , you know , the accident had changed you . you were a completely different person . jason : i am a different person now . i try to explain that to people , but they just do n't seem to understand . robin : i think they really want to understand . it 's just that they want their old jason back , you know , and your friends are n't the sit - back - and - wait types . [ chuckles ] jason : you 've met carly . all my relationships , they 're just ... one - sided . everyone has these lifetimes of memories and feelings i just do n't share . like , this story you 're telling me . it 's ... it 's beautiful . but it 's not a memory to me . it 's a story . robin : hmm . then i guess you 're back where you started . a boy with no past . except the difference is now that i have a future . and that 's all because of you . i was really lucky . despite the stigma that was attached to hiv and aids at the time , i was really supported by my family . i was loved by the community . jason : not too many people would consider themselves lucky . you 're pretty amazing . robin : well ... i guess that 's me , you know . lucky robin , always trying to make the best of things . but that was part of the pressure . you know , i mean , having to be positive and cheerful and happy all the time . but with you , it was n't like that . i could tell you how i really felt . i could tell you about the struggle , the good and the bad days . jason : you know ... the way you talk about how i used to be , it 's so different from everybody else . robin : i could n't have gotten through that time without you . jason : you know , i really wish i could remember that . but i would love to hear about it , if you do n't mind . robin : i was offered what they called the cocktail . it was the drug at the time . and you had to take up to 30 pills a day . i just -- i was n't sure if i was ready to make that kind of commitment . i mean , you could not miss a day or a dose . you know , why put all that work in if there was actually no guarantee that any of it would work ? that was really just an excuse . i ... had already made peace with dying . and i was afraid to hope that i could have a future . so i talked to you about it . i told you that i did n't know what i wanted to do , and you said you would support me no matter what and that if i wanted to refuse the cocktail , i had every right to do so . jason : it is your life . robin : but then i asked you what you wanted , and you said that you wanted me to live ... ... and that my life was important and that i had to fight for that . i was able to realize that it was possible for me to have a future . and so everything that i 've done since then -- becoming a doctor , becoming a wife , becoming emma 's mother -- none of that would have happened if you did n't help me to make that decision . [ scene_break ] patrick : i have lost robin twice . i ... can not lose her again . maxie : what 's the alternative ? keep your distance ? be polite strangers ? stay in the shallow end of life ? what if , during all of that waiting , robin gets hit by a bus ? patrick : maxie ... maxie : no . seriously . would you be happy that you waited , that you protected your heart ? or would you bitterly regret the time that you wasted ? life is short , patrick , and full of unexpected loss . and if you are lucky enough to find someone that you love , then you 're a fool not to spend every moment you can with them . and you , patrick drake , are no fool . [ scene_break ] curtis : oh , there he is . terrance , what 's happening ? tell me you saw that game this weekend . terrance : sorry , i missed it . curtis : you missed it ? well , it was one for the ages . next week ... you 're gon na have to come over to my crib . bring your lady . it 'll be great . your gratuity is at the floating rib tonight . terrance : i 'll see you there . curtis : all good . my man . is the , uh , commissioner in the building ? officer : who wants to speak to her ? curtis : an old friend . uh - oh , hold up . miss jordan . jordan : what are you doing here ? curtis : you know that job that i was in town for ? jordan : yeah . curtis : done deal . and very successfully , i might add . jordan : well , congratulations . now you can get the hell out of port charles and never come back . curtis : oh , miss jordan . i ai n't going nowhere . [ scene_break ] dante : what 's up ? you look tense . did you have some bad news ? hayden : watching my dear friend get pitched off a balcony and almost die has that effect on me . dante : right . actually , that 's why i wanted to talk to you . i wanted to get your version of the events that led to nikolas falling off the metro court terrace . who hit who first , and stuff like that . hayden : i was so emotional . it was -- it was all a jumble . i - i do n't want to waste your time . when things become clear , i 'll be sure to contact the police . dante : okay . hayden : i really need to check on nikolas . dante : yeah . yeah .

[ scene_break ] paul : listen to me . you know , in retrospect , it was probably a mistake to get so close to your mother . i probably just got carried away with the idea that the three of us could reconnect as a family again . dillon : well , it 's hard to reconnect when you were never really a family to begin with . paul : that 's right , and that 's why this means so much to me . i came back to port charles to connect with you , to build a relationship with my oldest son . now , i concede that -- that tracy and i may have had misunderstandings about where we stand . but you and i were talking . more than that , we were relating like father and son , and i do n't want to lose that . dillon : yeah , well , you do n't get to make that choice . i made it by fine without you for all these years . pretty sure i can do it again . paul : well , i hope you change your mind . if you do ... i 'll be right here . maxie : hi . i got your text . what did you need ? dillon : yeah , well , i texted you over an hour ago . i was hoping you could talk me down from nuking my relationship with my father . guess what . you never texted back , and now it 's too late . maxie : oh . [ scene_break ] sonny : [ speaking spanish ] i just got confirmation that raj made a very successful deal . okay ? and he 's got another shipment on the way . max : what do you want to do ? sonny : we shut him down . [ scene_break ] jordan : curtis , i know you like trouble , okay , but if you stick around here , you 're gon na have more than you can handle . curtis : no . you know what ? i can see why you settled in this town . it 's a cute little community . jordan : [ scoffs lightly ] curtis : it is . full of opportunity . a place where you could start over and leave your mistakes in the past . i mean , look at you -- police commissioner . that 's all right . i mean , those of us that knew you back in the day , we never would have guessed all this . jordan : you know what ? anybody that knew you back in the day would have totally predicted that you would cut some corners and wind up on the streets without a badge , so ... curtis : that 's old news . but i do feel like , uh , my future 's about to take a turn . jordan : oh , is that so ? curtis : it is so . jordan : yeah ? curtis : and i got a good feeling you 're gon na play a big role in changing my future . oh . i got to go . see you when i see you . [ scene_break ] valerie : detective falconeri . dante : hey . valerie : i 've got that file you asked for . dante : i did n't ask for a file . valerie : that was just an excuse so we could talk . dante : oh . valerie : we have n't seen each other since before christmas . and i have a present i need to give you . any chance we can meet up tonight ? dante : uh , yeah , i 'm not sure . valerie : do you have other plans , or ... dante : no . uh ... valerie , i , uh , saw lulu a couple times over the holidays . and , uh ... things were better . you know , we were n't fighting as much -- valerie : you do n't need to say anything else . i 'm gon na do what i should have done weeks ago . i 'm bowing out . [ scene_break ] johnny : you and me , lulu . we loved each other once . you remember that ? lulu : i do . johnny : mm . lulu : it was a - a long , long time ago , johnny . our lives have taken drastically different turns . johnny : yeah , you went for the good , stable guy , and look where that got you . lulu : please stop , okay ? i do n't want to hurt you . johnny : okay . say no more . i get that a fugitive is not a credible option for a mama with a little boy , but a guy can dream , right ? lulu : you are so crazy complicated . you could be so sweet sometimes . i want you to know that i 'm truly grateful for your help . and just so we 're clear ? johnny : mm . lulu : that little boy you 're talking about ? johnny : mm - hmm . lulu : he is the reason why i 'm having you go after valerie , instead of taking her down myself . [ scene_break ] jason : when you first said that we fell in love up here , i have to admit , um ... it gave me pause . but now that you told me what happened ... ... it changes my perspective on a lot of things . especially about who i was before . robin : you 're pretty great . jason : yeah . robin : something tells me you still are . jason : [ laughs ] no . i am not . i 've been a reactive , self - indulgent bastard . i keep pushing people away who care about me , and they must care an awful lot , because they keep coming back . robin : yeah . you better get used to it .

[ scoffs ] i chose that life over you ? what an idiot . robin : no , you were just being true to yourself . we said goodbye up here , actually . i was going to paris to study , and you wished me a life full of happiness and fulfillment . you said that you hoped i would find someone to love and have a family , and ... i 've done all that . jason : that makes me happy that my wishes for you came true . i mean , look at you now . robin : [ laughs ] jason : look at me . robin : you 're the boy with no past . you were reckless and fearless and nobody thought that you would live past 30 . except for me . i remember i told you that i did n't know where you 'd go or what you 'd do , but i have faith in your future . and i still do . [ kisses jason on the cheek and walks away . ] jason : thanks . [ scene_break ] dante : i do have feelings for you , valerie . valerie : dante ... if you really care about me , please stop . this is n't a relationship . this is a slow - moving train wreck , and there 's no way to fix it . the only way to stop the pain is to end it . so that 's what i 'm doing , for both our sakes . dante : i understand . valerie : i wish you happiness . dante : you do n't have to say that . valerie : really , i do . i know you did n't mean to hurt me . dante : i did n't , and i do n't ever want to hurt you . valerie : but i 'm done . i wo n't jeopardize my career . it means so much to me . to keep chasing something that ... you do n't really want , something that 's only hurting the both of us . dante : sorry , valerie . valerie : i 'm sorry , too . but it does n't change anything . it 's time for me to move on . [ scene_break ] lulu : if there were no rocco , i would have thrown down with valerie myself , but i am a mom now . i have to make the best choice for my son . tearing down his father , possibly costing him his badge is n't it . johnny : wow . you 've changed , huh ? lulu : what ? i 'm boring now , right ? johnny : no , no , no . that 's not what i 'm saying . i just mean that years ago , you would n't have thought this through so carefully . lulu : see ? that 's the point . i 'm not a big fan of framing someone , okay , no matter how skeevy the skank . you 're the best weapon i have , johnny . i am fighting for my family , and that means getting valerie out of the way . exactly how we planned it .

[ scene_break ] maxie : so , you went off on your dad . dillon : i - i told you , maxie , that i did n't want to let him in . i did not want to believe his promises , because i was scared that i would just be disappointed . and you know what ? that is exactly what happened . paul is just as shallow and manipulative as i had feared . maxie : okay . well , do n't write him off so quickly . he could surprise you . i used to think you were a pretentious , self - absorbed jerk . and now i only think you 're a semi - pretentious , mostly tolerable artiste , and that 's definitely progress . dillon : [ laughs ] thank you for showing up . i guess i kind of needed a dose of maxie - tude today . maxie : [ chuckles ] you know what ? i 've got something better than that . why do n't you come with me ? i 'm gon na introduce you to my daughter , georgie . come on . let 's go .

[ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] sonny : carly ... ca n't you just stay ? the house comes alive when you 're in it , like christmas , and , you know , i loved having you here . i loved being here . carly : i love being with the kids and with you and everyone being together , the whole family . sonny : it 's gon na be hard enough going through the countdown , you know , facing another year without -- without morgan . if we can , you know , be together , it should be a ... little easier . can we just at least try ? [ scene_break ] [ wind whistling ] nathan : so , that was claudette 's mother . i guess she was going through claudette 's old stuff trying to figure out some kind of clue about where she might have gone , and instead of finding a clue , what does she find ? she finds my divorce papers unsigned and unfilled . dante : how does she know they were n't filed ? nathan : picture of the document -- you can see my signature and the date and a blank line underneath it where claudette was supposed to sign it . dante : okay . sorry to say this , but you did n't think something might have been off when you did n't get , like , an official copy ? nathan : i 've never been divorced before ! i do n't know ! i - i ... maybe i was -- i was busy with work or maybe i did n't want to know . i do n't ...

[ exhales sharply ] sam : was that for morgan ? jason : yeah , it was for morgan -- for his whole family , yeah . sam : you 'll get to the truth , even if it 's a little too close to home . jason : now you 're talking about your mom , you know ? sam : yes , and when that guy rudge just shows up at our doorstep ... why ? jason : i was hoping that she could answer that . is she gon na come tonight ? sam : i have no idea . i mean , she 's been strangely unavailable lately , and i - i knew something was bothering her at my baby shower . and i thought it was because kristina moved out , but ... i do n't know . maybe she 's somehow connected to morgan 's death or she knows something that could clear sonny . [ scene_break ] curtis : what sparked this new , forgiving attitude of yours ? jordan : the mayor , actually , and the new da . they have moved up the date for the corinthos trial . curtis : i - i do n't follow you . jordan : well , they are pressuring me to solidify this case . we need a conviction , one that 's gon na lock sonny up for life . and right now , all i have is a questionable confession and some sketchy circumstantial evidence . curtis : yeah , i know . that sucks . uh , what does this have to do with you and me ? jordan : well , i just got approved for funds to hire you as an outside investigator for the pcpd . it 's a win - win . [ scene_break ] valentin : well , i did n't want to put a damper on the evening , but you 're right -- lulu is suing me for sole custody of charlotte . nina : on what grounds ? you 're an incredible , devoted father . valentin : well , my lawyers have warned me to prepare for a fight . since i 've spent my life traveling , i 'm single , i do n't have a support group to speak of -- as much as i love charlotte , i could be deemed unsuitable . [ scene_break ] bobbie : you were in sonny 's bedroom ? nelle : i was picking up something for carly to wear to wear to morgan 's funeral , and it was time for me to take my pill , and the bottle has this ridiculously hard child - proof cap , and they just spilled everywhere , you know ? i - i thought that i picked them all up . [ sighs ] they 're expensive . it 's not like i can afford to lose one . bobbie : you dropped that pill back in november , and it was still there , even though sonny has a full - time housekeeper ? well , now , that is amazing . nelle : i do n't get it . why are you always acting as if i 've done something wrong ? hmm ? [ scene_break ] carly : i ca n't imagine next year or the years after without morgan . i just ca n't . and people say that time makes it easier , but i do n't understand that . how much time ? [ sighs ] sonny : yeah , i feel the same way . that 's -- that 's why we should just be together . carly : i remember last new year 's eve . [ sniffles ] you were in the wheelchair ... ... and your leg moved for the first time , and we thought it was a miracle . [ exhales sharply ] we had so much hope a year ago , did n't we ? [ sniffles ] sonny : hope did n't die with our son , even though for a while there , i thought it did . christmas gave me a glimmer . you do n't feel that a little bit ? carly : i want to . i want to . but , sonny , there 's a fine line between hope and denial . losing morgan taught me that i have to be realistic about the life you lead and the danger it brings , not just to yourself but to our family . and as far as i can see , nothing 's changed on that front . has it ? [ scene_break ] maxie : my beautiful dress is ruined , and i 'm so cold that i do n't care . lulu : club soda , club soda ! maxie : [ shivers ] robin : maxie , you 're burning up . did you get a flu shot ? maxie : i forgot . robin : [ sighs ] all right , come on . get in bed . maxie : okay . robin : come on . lulu : maybe that cold shower was n't the best idea . robin : okay , get in . [ cell phone chimes ] robin : uh , phone , yours . maxie : ohh , georgie and ellie and spinelli 's plane was grounded in chicago . lulu : maxie , i know that you did n't want to hear it when your mom suggested postponing the wedding , but this is really bad . robin : i 'm so sorry , maxie , but you are too sick to go through with this . i really advise against it . i mean , i would say the same thing to any of my patients . lulu : please listen to her . you know that she would n't say it if it was n't true . you are going to have the wedding of your dreams , just not tonight . robin : i 'll go and tell everyone . everything will be fine , i promise . okay ? do n't worry about a thing . [ knock on door ] dante : hey . lulu : hey , guys . dante : he needs to , uh , speak to ... nathan : oh , my god . baby , you okay ? what happened ? what -- maxie : [ voice breaking ] i ca n't marry you tonight . robin : she has a cold . she ca n't go out . maxie : i 'm sorry . i ruined our wedding . nathan : no , no , no . hey , hey ... maxie : [ sniffles ] nathan : there 's nothing to be sorry about . maxie : [ normal voice ] wait , you 're not even supposed to be seeing me right now . why are you here ? [ door closes ] nathan : um ... maxie : did you know that i was sick ? is that why you came ? nathan : no , no . maxie , and i hate to tell you this when you 're feeling so miserable , but i got some bad news . [ scene_break ] kiki : i heard you and valerie talking about the night that you spent together , and it was some night , right , the best that you 've had in a while ? dillon : okay , wait a minute , that 's not even -- kiki : no , i get it . it 's not -- no , i get it . i - i ca n't expect you to wait around for me when i ca n't get over my own guilt over morgan 's death . that 's not fair , and i ca n't ask that of you . you deserve to be happy . dillon : you do , too , and i 've said the same thing to you . kiki : that 's exactly -- thank you -- thank you for that , but , you know what , maybe one day , i 'll be as happy as you are . but for now , i 'm a wreck . i just could n't stay in port charles knowing that i 'd be seeing you and valerie all over the place and all over each other , and i just do n't want to -- dillon : okay , kiki . stop talking . please , stop . valerie and i are just friends . we are -- we 're just friends . that 's it . and that night that we spent together -- all we did was talk about how much relationships suck . [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] [ indistinct conversations ] nina : but you ca n't be disqualified for being a single parent . that 's not right . valentin : do n't worry -- i 'm not gon na go down without a fight . nina : you 're not alone . contrary to what you might believe , you do have a support system . i 'm helping you . valentin : thank you . nina : you 're welcome . we should go to the wedding , or else they 're gon na accuse us of trying to steal focus . [ scene_break ] sonny : us being together tonight has nothing to do with my business . it has to do with us comforting each other , hoping for the future together . ca n't you just open up and let it happen ? carly : i want to -- i want that . i miss you . i miss waking up with you every morning and going to bed with you every night . i miss spending my time with you , talking with you , and crying with you , just being together . i want it all back , sonny . but you ca n't promise me that there wo n't be another hit , there wo n't be another bomb , there wo n't be another bullet . i have to walk away . [ scene_break ] sam : hi ! robin : hi , sam ! you look so beautiful . sam : thank you . so do you . how are you feeling ? sam : good . great -- so far so good . yeah . [ chuckles ] robin : oh , dare i ask -- do you know the sex of the baby yet ? jason : mnh - mnh . sam : uh , the , uh , revelation is yet to come . jason : hey , where 's patrick ? is he parking the car ? robin : no , he actually could n't stay through new year 's , so he 's back in berkeley , hard at work . sam : oh . [ footsteps approach ] lucy : robin ! hey , you ! i was so hoping to see you . robin : hi ! lucy : hi , hi , hi ! hi , hi ! oh ! did they tell you that i am officiating ? robin : of course . [ both chuckle ] robin : um , but -- actually , that 's the thing . um , there is n't going to be a wedding tonight . lucy : what ? robin : yeah -- maxie 's come down with the flu . sam : oh , no ! she must be heartbroken . lucy : that is absolutely terrible . i have been rehearsing and rehearsing ... tell me what i can do ? robin : well , i 've already told mac and felicia . um , i still have to call a few other people . but i need a sign in case i do n't get to everyone . lucy : right , okay , consider it done , and , um , i will try to get the organist , too , okay ? robin : oh , thank you . lucy : okay , do n't worry . robin : thank you . [ sighs ] jason : well , um ... that 's that . but i 'm sorry about the wedding . we can catch up , though . sam : yeah , let 's go to the metro court . robin : sure , i - i would love to . um , can i meet you just a little later , though ? since i have some time , there 's someone i want to see . [ scene_break ] sonny : you got me to call off the hit on julian . carly : oh , sonny , come on . you did n't listen to me . it practically took an act of god to get you to call off that hit . sonny : and i called , and -- and -- and then we find out that it was n't me that -- because of me that -- carly : i know that , okay ? i know that , and i believe it . and i know you believe it , too . sonny : and -- and -- and by the grace of god , we 're still standing . i 'm just saying that ... why ca n't we stand together ? carly : i hate the thought of life without you . but i 'd hate it even more if your business hurts someone else i love . i got to go . [ door opens , slams ] [ scene_break ] nelle : you have a major problem with me , and i ca n't seem to do anything about it . bobbie : you 're right . you ca n't . but i can , and i 'll try . so , how about telling me what is going on between you and my grandson ? nelle : i like michael . he 's a -- he 's a really great guy . you know , we 're just -- we 're just friends . he actually invited me out tonight , and i turned him down . bobbie : i 'm glad to hear that . that 's a step in the right direction . look , i know that i come on strong at times . and i should apologize for that , but the truth is i 've had to . people see what my daughter and her family have , and some of them -- well , they try to take advantage . no , the problem is ... i 'm a spencer . you do n't know what that means , but in a nutshell ... ... i wo n't let anything or anyone hurt my daughter or her family . happy new year , now . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] andré : good seeing you , michael . michael : you , too . andré : i hope next year brings healing and happiness . michael : thank you . [ cell phone rings ] [ michael gets a text from nelle : `` if you 're still available , i 'd like to spend new year 's eve with you . `` ] [ scene_break ] curtis : so , what , this new forgiving spirit of yours comes with a catch ? jordan : oh , come on , curtis . you ca n't possibly be upset . i mean , you 're already investigating corinthos . curtis : no , i 'm investigating the car that was rigged that killed his son . it 's not a slam dunk that sonny is behind this , as you well know . jordan : that 's why i need you . curtis : [ scoffs ] you need me . mm - hmm . and if i do dig up this information , what do i get , huh ? an `` atta boy , `` a pat on the back while you -- you walk me to the door ? i 'm good . jordan : so , what , you 'd rather work for jason morgan instead ? curtis : yeah . jordan : really ? a - and what happens when you dig something up and -- and clear sonny 's name ? you 're gon na , what , run to him and tell him , and then he walks yet again ? curtis : what do you want me to do , bury it so you can get a conviction ? [ scoffs ] it sounds a lot like your problem , not mine . good evening . we 're done talking . andré : but we 're not . i need to talk to you . [ scene_break ] maxie : oh , th - they threw me in an arctic shower to try to wake me up . that just made my fever spike . [ inhales sharply ] and then ... i ruined my wedding dress . nathan : you -- you ruined it ho -- oh . maxie : yeah . um ... they gave me a cup of coffee to try to warm me up , and i , uh , sneezed so hard , i dumped the entire mug on my dress . oh , um , and georgie and ellie and spinelli are stranded in chicago due to weather . [ sniffles , sighs ] no offense , but , um , how 's your bad news worse than that ? nathan : well , i , um -- turns out i 'm still married to claudette . [ scene_break ] dante : what 's going on ? did something else happen , aside from the wedding being postponed ? lulu : i did n't have a chance to tell you this before , but i talked to my mom yesterday . dante : yeah ? lulu : she 's convinced that winning sole custody is not going to be as easy as we thought . dante : yeah , th - that ca n't be that surprising to you . lulu : well , it is a little bit . my mom suggested that we aim for shared custody . dante : yeah , that 's not gon na fly with you , right ? lulu : yeah , not by a long shot . i am going to fight for my daughter . so i told the lawyer to go ahead and file the paperwork . i 'm going for sole custody . valentin will have no part in her life .

[ echoing ] is anyone here ? hello ? lucy : oh ! hi . are you here for the wedding ? nina : uh , yeah . i 'm the sister of the groom . lucy : oh , right . oh , robin did n't call you . never mind . i 'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news , but the bride is ill and the wedding has been postponed . nina : i do n't understand . i just saw maxie earlier . she was fine . is she okay ? lucy : uh , yeah ! yeah , she just has the flu . i 'm sure she 's just gon na be dandy . um , listen -- i need to post this sign , though , for the other people that did n't get called , either . nina : okay , thank you . lucy : welcome . hey . uh , listen -- the priest is gon na be running along in just a minute to close up the chapel . valentin : something wrong ? nina : lulu 's trying to take your daughter from you . did you mean what you said , when you said you wo n't go down without a fight ? valentin : of course . nina : [ exhales sharply ] marry me . we 'll fight for charlotte together . [ scene_break ] kiki : you were the only reason i left port charles . dillon : if we 're being honest , you were the only reason i left , too . [ scene_break ] nathan : i should have known that the divorce papers had n't been signed . maxie : claudette knew . was this her plan the entire time , to wait until our wedding vows ? oh , i can see it now -- `` stop the wedding . i 'm still his wife . `` nathan : maybe she thought that she could use our marriage to -- to protect charlotte ... maxie : the more i hear that , the less i believe it . she 's not a selfless angel , nathan . she 's a ... [ inhales sharply ] ... lying liar who lies ! ohh ! if i did not know how bad he was , i would feel sorry for valentin cassadine . [ scene_break ] valentin : are you sure ? nina : yes . you need every possible advantage if you 're gon na keep charlotte where she belongs , and that 's with you . priest : excuse me . the wedding that was supposed to take place tonight has been postponed , and i 'm about to close up . nina : yeah -- yes . we know . um , by any chance are you credentialed to perform weddings ? priest : i am . nina : can you marry us ? priest : yes . i 'll give you my contact information and we can set up an appointment . nina : no , no , no ! um , now -- we want to get married right now in this beautiful church , in this beautiful setting . um , we want to join our lives and become a family . priest : well , that 's a lovely thought . unfortunately , it 's new year 's eve , you need a marriage license , and there 's no way you 're gon na get one tonight . valentin : if you 're willing to officiate the ceremony , a marriage license wo n't be a problem . [ scene_break ] lulu : i know that it will get ugly , and i wo n't be surprised when it does . dante : hey , i 'm in . i 'm all in , okay ? i know what valentin is capable of . you have every reason to want to keep charlotte away from him . lulu : thank you . dante : okay . lulu : [ sighs ] i know i should have talked to you before i told the lawyer to move ahead , but i was afraid that you would tell me to be reasonable . dante : you are being reasonable . valentin should n't even have access to charlotte , let alone be able to raise that beautiful little girl . lulu : thank you . [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] valentin : all right , that was a judge that i know . the marriage license is taken care of . it 's being sent over via messenger . it 'll be here within an hour . priest : well , then -- you 've got yourselves an officiant . would you like a moment to prepare ? valentin : uh ... yeah . thank you . darling , it 's okay if you want to back out . nina : that 's the last thing i want . it 's just -- you know , i 'm getting married . i do n't have flowers . valentin : here . it 's not exactly a bouquet , but ... nina : [ chuckles ] they 're perfect . valentin : you 're sure ? nina : oh , yeah , i 'm sure . let 's get married . [ scene_break ] michael : you look , uh -- you look amazing . nelle : thank you . you know , i wanted to keep up with you this time . not that you were n't rocking the hawaiian shirt and flip - flops before , but -- michael : oh , right . so that 's why you probably changed your mind and came out tonight , right , because you remember my amazing fashion sense ? nelle : [ chuckles ] carly : hey ! [ chuckles ] i ca n't tell you how happy it makes me to see you guys together here . michael : what -- what are -- what are you doing here ? i thought -- are n't you supposed to be with dad ? carly : yeah , i 'm working . michael : i was just -- i just saw olivia a little bit ago . she seemed to be handling it fine . carly : you know what , why wo n't you worry about your business , and i 'll worry about mine ? nelle : but you know what they say , carly -- you know , if you spend new year 's alone , you 'll end up alone all year . michael : that sounds like a warning , mom . you sure you want to tempt fate ? carly : it 's almost midnight . i 'm gon na go make sure we have enough champagne . michael : [ scoffs ] well , so now i know why you came out tonight . nelle : hmm ? michael : you did n't want to be alone all year .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] dante : trust that we 're a team , okay ? i 'm on your side . you 're not doing this alone . lulu : i do know that . [ chuckles ] and it means everything to me . [ chuckles ] dante : when we show who we are and how much love and support we get from our friends and family and community , no judge is gon na look twice at valentin . how could he ever prove that he can provide a good home life for charlotte ? [ scene_break ] priest : dearly beloved , we are gathered here tonight in the sight of god to join valentin and nina in holy matrimony . marriage is an honorable estate not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently and with love . valentin and nina , is it your desire to be married ? valentin : it is . nina : it is . [ scene_break ] kiki : dillon , when i said that it was hard for me to be with you , i did n't mean that i do n't want to be with you . dillon : good to know . so , what now ? kiki : now we toast .

[ glasses clink ] [ scene_break ] nelle : looks like we did n't get through to your mom . that means your dad 's all alone . michael : yeah , my mom is pretty stubborn . it 's sweet that you care , though . nelle : they 're just so good together . it 'd be a shame for them to let it go . michael : oh , they wo n't .

[ scene_break ] ben : you expect to believe there 's a pirate 's treasure buried at the bottom of port charles harbor ? cody : yeah . yeah . the quartermaines lost it three centuries ago . now , if you do n't let me go dive for it , somebody else is going to go dive for it and get it first . ben : i do n't care how you get the money -- from sunken treasure or by robbing a bank . if you do n't , that beautiful little daughter of yours is dead . sam : i see you 're still hanging out with lowlifes and losers . nothing ever changes with you , huh , dad ? cody : hey , i thought i taught you not to sneak up on people . sam : no , actually , you taught me the best ways to do it . who was that guy and how much do you owe him ? cody : him ? he was lost . i was just giving him some directions . sam : you 're a liar . i know you blew up nikolas ' freighter . cody : you know , you have a very vivid imagination little girl . sam : i was diving down there when the charges went off dad . you could have killed me . you also took my treasure and i want it back . [ scene_break ] tracy : well , i certainly hope you asked me here to show me the treasure . emily : all right , there 's a problem . tracy : how big a problem ? emily : the treasure is gone . tracy : what ? emily : yeah , the diver nikolas hired could n't find anything . either there was never a treasure at all or somebody got to it first . tracy : oh . daddy 's going to be crushed . he was counting on that influx of money . e.l.q . is in ruins . emily : oh , grandfather will bounce back . tracy : my father is not as resilient as he used to be . in fact , we all joke about his heart condition , but -- well , a setback like this could be the end of him . emily : oh , i 'm touched by your concern , tracy , especially since it 's family legend that you would n't give grandfather his heart medicine . tracy : oh please , i was young and impulsive . besides , i did n't do him any lasting harm . however , e.l.q . 's going bankrupt because nikolas lost the treasure -- emily : you know what ? i 'm suddenly kind of busy right now . i 'll call you if i hear anything else . thank you very much . tracy : is nikolas crushed ? seems the cassadines have been in financial trouble longer than the quartermaines . emily : nikolas will find another way to protect his family . tracy : perhaps he already has . emily : what is that supposed to mean ? tracy : the cassadines are known as treacherous and unstable . perhaps your nikolas is just showing his true colors . emily : no , nikolas is n't anything like helena or the rest of his family , tracy . tracy : are you so sure ? your trust fund was worth millions before e.l.q . took the hit . nikolas had to know that by marrying you he could be kept in the style to which he had become accustomed and with you supposedly going to die at a very early age , all he had to do was get through the wedding and sit back and wait for you to die . ah ! i can understand you being a touch defensive . must be very painful to realize that the man who offered you the world on a silver platter is just after your bank account . emily : what are you getting at ? tracy : look , emily , i 'm just trying to save e.l.q . and my family along with it . nikolas offered us a solution . now he has hit a roadblock . how do i know he 's not double - crossing us ? emily : if money mattered to nikolas , he 'd still be married to lydia karenin , tracy . she 's worth billions ! but he chose me instead and he stood by me through the fight of my life and there is no way that you are going to make me doubt him , so stop wasting your breath ! tracy : you 're going to be pretty embarrassed when you see you 're wrong . emily : nikolas honors his promises . he agreed to split the courage treasure 50/50 with the quartermaines and he will . tracy : let me remind you that i sided with you and nikolas against my father on that 50/50 split . i am just trying to get my family 's fair share and keep the peace . emily : oh , your sincerity -- your sincerity needs a little work , tracy . you either want that treasure for yourself or you 're planning to use it as leverage over the rest of the quartermaines . tracy : you 're so young to be so paranoid and what have i ever done to you ? emily : oh look , i know you by reputation so pay attention . i am not about to let anyone hurt the quartermaines and that includes you . you 're a member of this family , but that does n't give you any right to cheat them . i 'm watching you , tracy . tracy : i have a suggestion for you . why do n't you watch your fiancé instead ? nikolas has lived with money his whole life , little girl . he says he can live without it . well , when reality sets in , he may be a whole lot less noble , trust me . i know .

[ scene_break ] cody : look , i did not know that you were diving down there . sam : hmm . is this the part where you act all concerned about me ? cody : i happen to love you and i was very relieved that you were not hurt . sam : relieved enough to give me my treasure back ? cody : i do n't have it . sam : am i supposed to just believe every word out of your mouth now ? cody : look , look , i admit that i dislodged the freighter , but i did not find any treasure . sam : bull ! cody : if i had , do you think i 'd still be hanging around this two - bit town ? sam : oh , come on dad , i know you . you 're waiting for the best price . it 's a major haul and you 're not going to use just any fence . cody : all right , i admit , i need the money . but if the treasure is not down there , then someone else has beat us to it . sam : all right , then . i 'll just find it myself . cody : wait , wait , wait ! this is more than just about the money . what 's going on here , sam ? sam : i 'm just sick of losing , dad . i am sick of the mccall bad luck . cody : yeah well , there 's always another opportunity . another one always comes up . sam : yeah . that 's a great attitude to have , dad . you just keep -- keep to that and stick to it and keep moving , ok ? because that treasure is my score , and i am not going to share it with anybody .

jax : so , what did you think ? courtney : about what ? jax : my hotel , the one i just took you through . courtney : you know , jax , it 's amazing . seriously . i mean , you 're going to be turning people away at the door , i know it . and , you know , a new year 's eve masquerade party is the perfect way to open it . jax : did you get your costume ? courtney : mm - hmm . yes , they 're delivering it later on today . jax : i just wish that this was a little more special for you . courtney : it is ! seriously . i mean , how many times do you get a hotel named after you ? but it 's -- jax : you 're still worried about diego , right ? courtney : he 's been leaving me messages every 15 minutes . jax : well , why do n't you call him back ? courtney : jax , i do n't know what to say . i mean , i 'm sitting on a bombshell here . jax : well , he 's going to have to know the truth sooner or later . diego : hey , you got the d.n.a . results , do n't you ? tell me , is alcazar my father or not ?

[ scene_break ] luke : easy , blaze . do n't let her get wise . [ scene_break ] jason : sam , i 'm back . sam : hi . jason : why are you whispering ? sam : shh . i just got the baby to sleep . jason : if you come over here , we can talk a little louder , but -- sam : i know . i want to stay over here , though , because i do n't think i 'm going to hear her if she starts to cry . jason : well , trust me ; you 're going to hear her . sam : what 'd you get ? jason : you know -- stuff the baby 's going to need . a rubber ducky . sam : you 're funny . jason : i am ? sam : yeah , more than you know you are . a rubber -- it 's cute . i like it . jason : you look happy . sam : i am . i am . it 's a good day . and i do n't know how long it 's been since i could say that . jason , i was wondering -- jason : what ? sam : do you think we 're doing the right thing ? [ scene_break ] skye : well , helena may be a sudden topic to you , but she 's certainly not to me . i mean , i 'm reminded of her every single time i look at emily and think about the mess that helena made out of emily 's life . tracy : she 's young . she 'll get over it . skye : the point is helena was a monster , and the world 's a much better place without her in it . and i 'm sure you agree that nikolas deserves an award for throwing that old bat off the ledge instead of getting a prison sentence . so tell me , tracy , do you miss your partner in crime ? tracy : the only thing i 'm missing is my martini , thank you . and by the way , whatever you think you 're hiding with that rose -- too late . most of the men in town have seen them already . skye : jealous hag . luke , sorry . [ scene_break ] dillon : well -- what was -- what was that ? luke : that , my boy , is what we call a fishing expedition . dillon : right . and you want to catch my mom ? luke : no , no , we 're not after her . but we have a very strong feeling that she may know where the big shark swims . see , i 'm trying to clear nikolas of a bogus murder charge . georgie : bogus ? luke : yeah , i got a real strong hunch that helena is about as dead as i am . dillon : real -- what ? your theory 's pretty -- pretty out there -- georgie : i have a question . how could helena survive falling off a cliff ? luke : i do n't know , georgie . maybe she levitated . maybe she sprouted bat wings and flew off to transylvania . all i know is if she 's out there i 'm going to find her . dillon : oh , i get it . so nikolas and emily -- they get their lives back , and -- oh , that was really cool . that 's actually really awesome of you to do that . luke : well , yeah , it is awesome of me . but do n't pin any boy scout medals on me , because i have my own agenda here . laura and i fought that horror show most of our lives . if there 's anybody who 's got the right to snuff out helena 's lights , it 's me , not nikolas . skye : well , that got us exactly nowhere . luke : oh , well , here , let me help you . skye : luke ! luke : well , do n't worry . there 's always another way . skye : i guess i was n't the best choice for that sort of thing . why would tracy tell me anything ? i mean , is n't there one person in this entire world that that woman actually trusts ? [ scene_break ] sam : it 's just , you know , everything happened so fast . one minute , i 'm trying to adjust to living above kelly 's , and the next minute i 'm back here . and now we have a baby . jason : i thought that 's what you wanted . sam : it is . it is , and i guess that 's what scares me , because it 's sort of like the magic solution to everything , and i really do n't know if i 'm thinking clearly or not . i want this to be right for you , too , jason . jason : well -- you know , i told you i was already planning on asking you to move back in . sam : because you missed me . jason : yeah , a lot . sam : well , that was me , not me with a baby . not that you 're not great with her , because you are . you 're better than -- you 're better than i am , and she can tell . and she 's so calm when she 's in your arms , but there 's this look on your face , like you 're being careful or something . it 's sort of like you 're watching , but you 're not there , and it kind of makes me think that you think that maybe this is n't such a great idea . jason : no , that 's something else i missed -- how you tell me what you think i 'm thinking . sam : this is really too important for me to guess . i need to know -- are you ok with this ? is this what you want ?

[ scene_break ] diego : why are you stalling ? either you have the results or you do n't . now , which is it ? courtney : look , the d.n.a . tests proved to a 99 % degree of certainty that alcazar -- that he 's not your father . diego : 99 % ? courtney : that 's right . in other words , no connection , biological or otherwise , to you and lorenzo alcazar . now , there 's no reason for you to ever go near him again . diego : if i 'm not his son , then my father really is dead and alcazar killed him . and i 'm going to make him pay . courtney : diego , you ca n't be serious . diego : it 's a matter of honor , courtney . alcazar made me fatherless . he does n't get to walk away from that . jax : well , honor does n't mean much when you 're six feet under . diego : you stay out of it ! courtney : hey , look , diego , whether you want to hear it or not , jax is right . not only is alcazar dangerous , he is lethal . now , if he thinks that you are a threat or he perceives you as an annoyance in any way , you will disappear . now , that might not mean anything to you , but it does to me and your sister and brook lynn . diego : all right . courtney : all right what ? diego : i 'll forget about it . courtney : you 'll stay away from alcazar ? diego : i said yes . jax : you believe him ? courtney : unfortunately , no . jax : and now it 's your turn to listen to something you might not want to hear . look , the only way you 're going to stop him from getting killed is to tell him the truth . [ scene_break ] luke : i do n't know why we did n't think of this before . you 're the perfect man for the job . georgie : no , no , no , this is a terrible idea . if helena is alive and in hiding , then she 's not going to want to be found , and if she thinks dillon 's responsible for that , then i do n't really even want to think about it . luke : chill , young georgie . i got his back . skye : yeah , we all do . georgie : i understand that , but dillon and i are already forbidden to see each other , and if this blows up in our faces -- dillon : i 'll do it . luke : we start tonight .

[ scene_break ] courtney : you think i was wrong to lie to him , do n't you ? jax : i think diego has the right to know who his father is , yes , even if it is alcazar . and i think you should carefully weigh the consequences of letting the lie stand , for both you and diego , because if the kid gets some crazy idea to go after alcazar to avenge his father 's death , he will actually kill his own father . and how do you think that will sit with the kid when he finds out what he 's done ? and how will that sit with you ? courtney : oh , jeez . jax : i know . man : sorry to interrupt , mr. jacks , but i need you to take a look at something . jax : yeah . i 'll be right there . look , for what it 's worth , i will support whatever decision you make . courtney : thank you . jax : are you leaning any particular way here ? courtney : oh -- you know , the only thing i know for sure is whether i tell diego that alcazar is his father or not i need to find a way to make him keep his distance . jax : be right back . maria : excuse me . courtney : do i know you ? you -- maria : my name is maria . courtney : oh , you 're diego 's sister . hi . i 'm courtney . maria : i know who you are . i need your help , courtney . courtney : ok . what can i do ? maria : work with me to stop diego from finding out a secret that will blow his world apart .

everybody is getting ready for new year 's eve . there 's a college football championship playoff at the haunted star . dante , michael , and jason all attend . sam and kristina arrive together . sam and jason play pool together and seem comfortable talking , although they are both very `` cautious `` about not going any further . robin and patrick spend the evening alone together in their house . sonny and carly do the same . morgan makes it clear he has secret dealings . he goes alone to the floating rib but leaves early and does not interact with many people . we then see him alone on the docks , spying and overhearing the conversations of the illegal exchange between the dangerous criminals . while lulu is having another party at the haunted star , with johnny making himself `` inconspicuous . `` curtis is hitting on women . first he hopes nina is `` available `` yet is very disappointed when he sees she 's with franco . he remarks to franco he knows him all too well , having been on the baltimore pd force . he admits he knows all about `` robert frank `` being on the most- wanted . johnny overhears that there 's a cop in the house , informs lulu and they go off together . she does not fight him when he talks about how he could have had her . they end up kissing and going a lot farther than the `` new years tradition `` . dante runs into valerie at the floating rib and she is uncomfortable . yet , she 's glad dillon is there as they are both alone and appreciate each other 's company although they do n't cross the line of friendship at this point .

jax : what do you think ? courtney : jax , this place -- it looks spectacular . jax : so do you . courtney : mm - hmm . so , do you want to hear my very first new year 's prediction ? jax : well , you 'll fall madly in love with me ? courtney : sorry . it 's a little too soon to tell on that one . jax : oh . hmm . courtney : no , my prediction is this masquerade ball is going to be the party of the year . jax : oh , with you by my side , i 'm sure it will be . [ scene_break ] emily : ok .

[ scene_break ] michael : oh , cool ! [ carly and steven laugh ] carly : hey . hi . sonny : is there something you did n't tell me here ? carly : oh , well , no , but leticia asked for the night off , and since you 're not doing anything for new year 's eve , i figured the boys would come and stay with you . steven : and as you can tell , carly and i have some plans . [ scene_break ] luke : i do n't know . there 's something wrong . connor : what ? the costume ? luke : no . you know what it is ? it 's your posture . you 're too casual . you got to stand -- [ knock on door ] luke : like you got a board right up the back of your shirt . hang on a second . skye : hi . sorry i 'm late . luke : what happened to your costume ? skye : oh , hey , i know you had your heart set on a stark naked lady godiva , but you 're just going to have to deal with the disappointment , ok ? luke : well , stark naked would have been better , but this is pretty amazing . skye : oh . well , i 'm glad you approve . you . my gosh , you 're perfect . i swear , if i did n't know better , i 'd think that this was nikolas standing in front of me . luke : well , hold on to your kudos . introduce yourself . connor : hello . i 'm nikolas cassadine . luke : no , no , no , no ! connor : oh , wait , what ? you just told me to introduce myself ! what do you want me to do ? luke : well , again here , you 're too casual . you 're too friendly . you 're too human . see , this guy grew up believing that he was so much better than all these little people . emily : nikolas is n't like that , luke . luke : emily , we got one shot at this . believe me , if helena thinks that this guy is a fake , she 'll disappear in a puff of sulfur , and nikolas will rot in prison until you 're dead -- from a very well - planned tragic accident . now , can i be any clearer here , people ? [ scene_break ] dillon : i just want to remind you , mom , that you did promise to keep that secret about connor being in prison and nikolas being here tonight with emily , ok ? tracy : shh . your secret is safe with me , darling . go enjoy yourself .

[ scene_break ] jax : please , enjoy yourself . have a good night . brook lynn : hey , courtney ? courtney : yeah . brook lynn : is diego coming tonight ? courtney : well , i hope so . i got him a costume and -- yes . brook lynn : what about lorenzo alcazar ? is he on the guest list ? [ scene_break ] lois : nice view . lorenzo : i prefer this one . you look beautiful . lois : thanks . you 're not half bad yourself . lorenzo : well , half of me thanks you . [ lois laughs ] lois : actually , i came out here to tell you that , unfortunately , yesterday 's kiss does n't change a thing . if i 'm going to set a good example for brook lynn , then our relationship does n't really fit into the picture . lorenzo : well , i 'm not happy that you 're pulling back , lois . but i have to say that if the positions were reversed and i was the parent i 'd probably do the same . [ scene_break ] diego : my sister 's still unconscious . mac : i read the initial report . you brought your sister to the e.r . yourself . is there any proof that maria was assaulted in alcazar 's apartment ? diego : there 's got to be . get a warrant , search the place , send in any forensics teams . i do n't care . and arrest lorenzo alcazar for attempted murder . [ scene_break ] sonny : next time , you know , i 'd appreciate a heads - up . carly : well , leticia asked at the last minute , and she 's been doing so great . she 's been putting in long hours , working around my schedule , and i figured giving her the night off was the least that i could do . sonny : well , you could have called from the house , just -- you know , instead of just showing up at my doorstep with , you know -- carly : i assumed that you would n't mind . [ knock on door , door opens ] carly : it 's not like you had plans , is it ? alexis : here we are . so much for your promise that you and kristina would spend a quiet night alone . carly : change in plans . turns out that michael and morgan will be spending new year 's eve with their father , too . alexis : so i see . carly : yeah , it 'll actually be great for kristina to spend some real family time , do n't you think ? alexis : yeah . you know what ? i do n't think we should stay -- carly : look , sonny , i will be picking up the boys in the morning . alexis : is leticia going to be here at least to help you ? carly : no , she is out . sonny , everything you need for the boys is in their bags . there 's also some teething gel for morgan , but his stomach 's been a little upset , ok ? steven : enjoy your evening . carly : ah . who says there is no such thing as justice ? you and i are going out to a party while sonny is staying home with all his children . hmm . you know , sometimes divorce can be fun . alexis : ok , honey . you be a good girl , ok ? i love you . you want to go play toys ? kristina : yeah . alexis : ok . michael : you want to play with my alien - blasting robot ? alexis : actually , you know what ? there 's some really great books in here . i thought maybe you could read them to her , and there 's a c.d . that she likes to dance to in there . it 's vivaldi . michael : who ? ric : you know what ? we 'll be back to pick up kristina between 1 : 00 and 2 : 00 . come on . alexis : bye , honey ! ric : come on . alexis : love you ! bye - bye ! i do n't think we should go . why do n't we go home ? ric : you ca n't hover forever . alexis : how about one more night ? ric : alexis , the sooner you get used to this , the better it 's going to be for you and kristina . [ michael mumbles ] sonny : kristina , no ! [ michael laughs ] michael : yeah , we do . we hate him . i want you to throw him on -- [ scene_break ] sam : oh , i know it 's a little late and all , but we could probably improvise on a couple of costumes . jason : you 're kidding me , right ? sam : no . it 's a masquerade party . you 'd be wearing a mask . no one would even know it was you . jason : no , i do n't go to costume parties . sam : why not ? and you actually might have some fun . jason : i do n't think so . sam : you never know unless you try . jason : then i 'm never going to know . sam : ok , you 're sure ? i mean , you 're sure ? no talking you into it , right ? jason : hey , you know , you can go -- sam : no way ! jason : if you want . sam : come on , i 'm not going to go without you , so it looks like we 're just going to stay home here in the house . jason : looks that way . sam : where no one can see you and you wo n't get embarrassed . jason : what are you doing ? no , forget it . it 's not going to happen . sam : seriously , you could just put right before midnight , that 's all , please ? jason : see , you were threatening me with this masquerade costume party -- sam : gala , yeah . jason : whatever . it was just a diversion , was n't it ? sam : did it work ? please ? jason : not a chance . sam : oh . oh , that 's lame . jason : see ? now , i knew it looked better on you , anyway . [ scene_break ] [ lucky whistles ] lucky : wow . you look incredible . now , how am i supposed to concentrate on searching for helena when i can not take my eyes off of you ? elizabeth : hmm . well , how about in between searching we can dance ? lucky : you 're on . [ scene_break ] luke : so pay close attention to any woman with her face completely covered . hi . come on in . helena could be wearing anything , but remember , she 's terminally vain , so it 'll probably be something spectacular . dillon : where do you want us in the room ? luke : well , spread out , and you two come in last after the rest of us are in position . skye : then what ? luke : and then we watch the room carefully . when emily and nikolas enter , if helena 's there , she 's going to show her hand . [ scene_break ] lois : i 'm not going to ask you to wait . i mean , i think that would be a little presumptuous even for me . but maybe , you know , after brookie gets over this rough patch , i 'll give you a call ? lorenzo : hmm . maybe this really is n't about brook . maybe you 're afraid to get in any deeper because you think i still have feelings for someone else . and maybe you want to take some time to see what happens next with me . lois : all i know is i ca n't be with you right now , and i am so sorry for that . lorenzo : me , too . lois : i 'm going to go back to the party . lorenzo : lois , wait a second . how about we have one last dance ? lois : right here ? lorenzo : i think the moonlight 's better over here . mac : lorenzo alcazar , you 're under arrest . cuff him . read him his rights . ofc . murphy : you have the right to remain silent . lois : what are you doing ? this is absurd ! lorenzo : hey , hey , hey , you want to tell me what i 'm being charged with ? mac : the charge is assault and battery and attempted murder in the beating of maria sanchez . ofc . murphy : you have the right to remain silent .

reva : yes , i am . all those old memories just came flooding back and the feelings . i guess it 's a miracle . i am one satisfied customer . christopher : well , i 'm happy for you . i 'm sure that shayne 's going to be okay . reva : oh , i hope so . i should probably go and peek in on him . thank you again . you know something ? you have been wonderful . bill : all right , well , ladies first . campaign . eden : have you 've gotten any threatening emails or weird phone messages , stuff like that ? bill : threatening emails ? no . everyone in springfield loves me . no , i 'm kidding . i have n't gotten a thing . why ? you really worried about me ? eden : enough to ask . bill : well , i am fine . we are fine . no , wait a minute . we are better than fine . we are indestructible . eden : oh , really ? bill : yeah . give me some of this . all right , now i need to talk to you about tony . eden : sure . bill : well , it 's nothing new really . i just ... i do n't think he nor his image are good for danny 's campaign . now danny 's not too worried about it , but i am . eden : and why are you talking to me about this ? bill : well , i was just thinking the more time he spends on bad girl photo shoots at his ranch , the less time he has to be front and center of this campaign . eden : oh . so in other words , you want me to cut down on his visibility . bill : well , out of sight , out of mind . at least that 's what i 'm hoping for . so come on , if you do n't mind , you would need to keep tony under wraps . call it a public service . marah : you did n't answer my question , because there 's the answer right there . jeffrey : i did n't answer your question because it was ridiculous . i mean , did i sleep with you out of pity ? come on . that 's insulting that you would even think that let alone ask me that . marah : first insult of the new year and it 's still new year 's day . ca n't accuse me of wasting time . jeffrey : marah , i ... marah : what ? what were you going to say ? jeffrey : how you felt last night and this morning , cherished , is because i do , i do cherish you . marah : he said as she picks up the last pieces of clothing off his hotel room floor . jeffrey : you want a fight ? i 'm a good fighter , you know . marah : no . no , i do n't want to fight . i just ... i want to get back in bed with you . we made our own rules last night . why ca n't we do it again ? jeffrey : it does n't work that way , marah . marah : not for you . but , jeffrey , i 'm not begging . i just really ... i really enjoyed being with you . jeffrey : and i really enjoyed being with you . and it 's memory that i 'm going to treasure and i hope it 's one that you will , too . marah : can you do that ? can you cherish someone one night and then not the next day ? can you turn it on and off like a switch like that ? seriously . i want to know . jeffrey : if you 're asking if this could turn into something , i 'd have to say no . hey , but you know what ? it 's a brand new year . who knows , right ? anything could happen . weird stuff happened last year . weird stuff is going to happen this year . i might even get out from under ... marah : out from under what ? jeffrey : your other shoe is over there . marah : jeffrey ... jeffrey : no , no , marah , i ca n't tell you , okay . i wish i could , but that 's one thing i know will never happen . josh : how 's he doing ? ed : he 's sleeping peacefully . his vital signs are strong . josh : how long will he be out for ? ed : could be awhile . josh : okay . ed , has michelle talked to you at all about maryanne since the photograph came out in the newspaper ? ed : no , she has n't made any connection . if she had , she 'd be all over me . i just wish this would all fade away . but that 's not going to happen , is it ? josh : i have an idea . if you talk to billy or buzz just let me know what they say , okay ? tammy : so what 's with you today ? joey : i think you 're amazingly great . and i 'm glad we got together . tammy : this is getting better . joey : and i wanted to give you something . tammy : ooh , a present . joey : oh , man . here . tammy : wow . joey , it 's your baseball ring . joey : you can have it if you want . tammy : are you kidding ? ( laughs ) i would love to . this is great . joey : here . ( laughs ) it 's a little big , but it looks good . not the most romantic presentation in the world , but least you got it on . tammy : did you just say `` presentation `` ? joey : yeah , why ? tammy : just sounds like something my uncle edmund would say . and this kind of looks like something he would carry around . joey : do n't get mad at me , okay ? i 'm ... i just wanted it to be great . bill : josh . happy new year . josh : hi , there . happy new year to you , too . both of you . eden : thanks . i have to check on those arrangements for the shoot . bill : okay . eden : excuse me . bill : well , what 's going on with you ? you look like you 've been up all night partying . josh : shayne had to have emergency surgery last night . bill : oh , he what ? josh : it went very well . i think he 's going to be fine though . bill : he 's fine ? josh : yeah . bill : good . well , give him my best . and i will check in on him later . in the meantime , i 'm sure you 've got a lot on your mind . so do n't worry about lewis , because everything 's under control over there . josh : you mind if i sit down for just a second ? bill : yeah , please . come on , sit down . josh : i wanted to talk to you about something . i 'm glad you brought it up . i 'm concerned that perhaps you 're overextending yourself a little too much . bill : what you mean with running lewis and managing the campaign ? josh : well , those are both full time jobs . bill : working twice as hard . i bet mom would be proud . josh : you work very hard and i appreciate that . but my real concern is for the company . i think maybe we 're taking on too much work . and with too many crews that we do n't know that do n't have a proven track record with us . i 'm not sure i feel comfortable with that . bill : josh , there 's no need to worry . i mean we can handle it . josh : bill , lewis construction has been very successful . and part of the key to that success has been that we have not overextended the company . now i want to keep it that way . i do n't want you to take on any new projects or make any major changes unless i personally have signed off . bill : all right , josh , why did you ask me to step in for you over at lewis ? so you could focus on shayne 's recovery without any distractions . well , you have that . and , yes , i am managing danny campaign , but i think i 've more than proven myself that i could run things over at lewis . you know better than i that emergencies pop up all the time . what if something happens ? we 're going to stop everything to try to track you down ? we ca n't do that . now you ca n't expect me to run this operation then micromanage every step of the way . it 's just ... it 's not going to work . unless of course , you just do n't trust me . is that what 's going here ? is this a trust issue ? josh : bill ... bill : because let me tell you , since i 've filled in for you ... josh : bill ... bill : the projects that ... josh : just stop . i trust you . if i did n't trust you , you would n't be running the show . now we can leave things the way they are for the time being . but i do n't want you to be a cowboy . i do n't want you losing my company . bill : of course not . in fact , i will copy you on every memo and i will fill you in on every detail the best i can . listen , beyond that it 's got to be my call , and that 's for the company 's sake . josh : okay . eden : tony , i asked bill point blank . he 's gotten no threats . but mr. machine knows somebody that 's got something on him or danny or both . and we got to find out who it is . marah : get out from under what ? your job ? being a lawyer ? jeffrey : you know , it 's getting closer to afternoon every minute . marah : well , you should tell me . the sooner you tell me , the sooner i go . jeffrey : look , marah , we 're not going top spend the little bit of time we have left together talking about our stupid careers , are we ? marah : i 'm not interested in that either . jeffrey : well , why do you keep asking ? marah : does n't it feel good to know that somebody cares about what makes you you ? jeffrey : i never thought about it before . marah : how is that possible ? i do n't think it is . because the way you looked at me last night and the way you touched me only a man with a whole world of feelings inside of him could have done that . jeffrey : well , it was just me . marah : i liked him . the man you were last night . you 're so much more than i expected . jeffrey : no extra charge . marah : would it really be so bad to open up to me ? jeffrey : what am i suppose to just open up to you , right ? open my heart up to you . pour out all my feelings . is that what i 'm supposed to do ? marah : i could stay the afternoon . jeffrey : marah , do n't go looking for that man from last night . because you 'll never see him again . tammy : so what 's new in the world ? edmund : hey , tammy . oh , everything . nothing , you know , usual . tammy : i do n't know if i agree with the nothing part . edmund : why ? do you have some news ? tammy : uh - uh . nope . just had breakfast with a bunch of baseball guys and their girlfriends . pretty crazy . jeffrey : yes , i could i can only imagine . tammy : we watched so many ball games , i ca n't even remember who played in them now . edmund : hmm . that 's nice . tammy : uncle edmund , do you know what 's really romantic ? edmund : what ? tammy : when a guy makes a big fuss over you . i mean , what girl would n't love it if a guy decided to show how much he cared by giving her a super special gift and a sweet little speech to go along with it . especially when she knows he planned the whole thing entirely by himself . edmund : hmm . is that my handkerchief ? tammy : is it ? i was wondering how i got a hold of that . edmund : why , tammy winslow , what is that on your finger ? my goodness , that is quite a ring . you did n't have that on when you left this morning . tammy : have you ever seen a baseball team ring before ? edmund : why , no i never have . ( both laugh ) tammy : nice try . and thank you . edmund : my pleasure . did joey do me proud ? tammy : proud enough . cassie : reva ? why did n't you call me the minute this happened ? reva : well , because that 's the way shayne wanted it , you know , kind of low key . cassie : low key ? he had surgery . reva : exactly . he did n't want to ruin everyone else 's new year 's eve . cassie : i 'm not everyone . i 'm family . i 'm your sister . reva : okay , okay . are you finished ? cassie : how is he ? reva : he 's still sleep . but ed said that his vitals are strong . and we wo n't really know how the operation affected his overall condition for another day or so . cassie : poor kid . he 's just been through so much . and so have you and josh . how are you guys doing ? reva : we 're okay . at least i 'm not the one pushing us apart anymore . in fact , i 'd like to be moving closer . cassie : but josh is pulling away . reva : josh , yeah . yeah . i mean he just ... you know , if it were up to me , i 'd ask him to move back in today , but he does n't seem to be ready for it . cassie : that 's so weird . you 'd think he would be so relieved that you want to get closer to him . reva : yeah , yeah , you think . cassie : so why ? why does n't josh want things to go back to normal ? reva : i do n't know . i do n't know , cassie . it may be that i finally push him too far . marah : well ... jeffrey : come here . let me do that . marah : you do n't have to do that . jeffrey : it 's not a hardship . marah : i will never forget last night . it was everything i wanted it to be . except for the last part . gift , right ? and i should n't be greedy . jeffrey : all i said was that it was a gift for both of us . marah : was it ? jeffrey : and there 's nothing wrong with being greedy . be greedy with life , marah . you know , just go for it . just take out a big chunk of it and go for it . that 's what it 's for . you 're young . you 're young . so be young . be crazy . dance every dance . never sit out a song . do you understand ? just live . you 're young , you 're beautiful and you 're vibrant . so live like that . marah : jeffrey . jeffrey : goodbye . marah : ( crying ) desk clerk : ms. lewis ? you 're mother left a message in case you showed up here . your brother had emergency surgery . marah : what ? desk clerk : you should head to the hospital as soon as possible . marah : thank you . ( phone ringing ) jeffrey : yeah ? yeah , it 's me . who did you think i was ? well , what is it ? did you run the plates ? and ? interesting . all right . i 'll be right down there . yeah , i know what day it is . you 're working , are n't you ? okay , good . see you in a bit . marah : mom ? reva : oh , marah , honey , i 'm so glad you 're here . marah : i 'm sorry i did n't get here sooner . reva : yeah , we were trying to reach you all night last night . marah : yeah , i did n't have my phone on me . i just got your message . i just ... i just got your message . is shayne okay ? cassie : he 's still sleeping . reva : right . marah : what happened ? reva : he was doing some exercises on his own on christmas eve . marah : are you serious ? on his own ? reva : yes , he ... he was trying to walk again for marina on christmas morning as a gift to her . marah : oh , shayne . reva : he fell off the parallel bars and bruised his back and fluid started to collect at the spot of the trauma , and it compressed the spine to point where he could barely even hold on to his own pencil . marah : and surgery was the only option ? reva : shayne did n't want to wait . especially when he heard the surgeon talk about the fact that there could be a chance of radical improvement to his condition once the compression on his spine was released . marah : what else was there a chance of ? reva : permanent paralysis . but ed said that the surgery went okay . cassie : and his vitals are strong . which is really good news . reva : and all we could do is wait and pray for more of that . marah : dad 's not here ? reva : he was . he went over to company to get something to eat . marah : is he okay ? are you ? reva : yeah . yeah , we 're hanging in . marah : what about with each other ? are you okay ? reva : well , that depends on who you ask . i mean , i think we 're fine , but your father may not agree with that . marah : why not ? reva : well , something is bothering him . i do n't know what it is . it might be me . but whatever it is it 's creating a problem . marina : i think i told you already . but that band , on track , did n't show up at the last minute , so sandy dee - jayed . he was actually really great . i mean he was great . and everybody was up and dancing . and nico and i ... nico and i were dancing , but i pretended that you were my real partner . i closed my eyes and i could almost see you right there in front of me . so we 're going to have to go dancing when you get out of here . which will be very soon . because it is a new year . it 's your year . and everything that you have been working so hard for is going to happen . i can feel it . i want it to . hey . hey . shayne : ( mumbling ) marina : you had the surgery and they said it went fine . so you 're not going to really know anything for a couple of days , but you 're going to be great . and i 'm going to be here with you , i promise . josh : next on guiding light : alan : you have got to figure out some way to deal with this . ed : it 's too late for that , alan . it 's too late . michelle : shayne 's fine , but my dad has gone over the edge . and i need to find carrie .

phillip : ( coughing ) harley : hi . hey , phillip . it 's me . it 's harley . how are you doing ? phillip : harley . harley : i got the all clear from dr. langham . so i am completely at your disposal . get you whatever you need . and this is a limited , one - time offer . so i 'd take it , because once you 're back out there on the street , uh - uh . so what can i get you ? can i get you some water ? do you want something from the vending machine . phillip : no , please . harley : well , i have something for you . actually i brought you something from ... from zach . phillip : zach ? harley : yes . ( laughs lightly ) yes , zach . our baby . he made that for you . that 's you holding his hand . phillip : oh . harley : ( laughs ) phillip : oh , we look happy . harley : yes , you do . and there is a reason for that . zach drew a picture of the day that you get out of the hospital , the day that he gets his father back . alan : gus . buzz : i hope that silly overcoat is the only bad habit you picked up from your father . alan : well , you know something , buzz , we ca n't all be king of the burger like you . or do you prefer the term `` food service `` ? gus : hey , hey ... alan : by the way , why do n't you get started on my order ? buzz : and here i thought my kids had the worst deal in town . gus : hey . can we just continue the holiday spirit for , like , a few more days or something ? please ? buzz : i never got the spirit . i 've been in a bad mood since october . alan : whoa . gus : what 's the matter with him ? alan : i have no idea . i think the grease is starting to go to his brain . but look we ... you did n't invite me here to talk about buzz . what 's on your mind ? something about spaulding ? gus : well , sort of . alan : mm - hmm . gus : i have a report here that i can use a little help on . alan : oh , right . what ? budget ? finance report ? gus : no , it 's neither one of those . it 's a police report . alan : what ? a police report ? gus : yes . a car was pulled out of the river a few days ago . apparently it 's like a 70s make and it 's been down there ever since . alan : mm . well , tell me what would a 30-year old relic have to do with me ? gus : well , i do n't know . that 's what i was going to ask you . see actually i ran the license plate and this car belonged to you . so you mind telling me what your car was doing parked at the bottom of the river ? alan : i ca n't . josh : marah ? billy : hey , man she still in the hospital . relax . josh : yeah , i got to get back there myself . billy : no , you do n't , josh . you got to just slow down , take it easy , and stay away from that place a little bit . josh : well , i just know that with shayne back in the hospital , marah 's not going to be taking good care of herself . i 'm hoping that she comes home and finds food here at least she 'll eat something . billy : well , i guess she was concerned ... is concerned about her daddy . josh : what is that suppose to mean ? billy : it 's not the time . josh : well , you made it the time . billy : okay . you know , how you asked her to stop asking you about maryanne caruthers ? josh : yeah , she did . billy : no , she started asking me about maryanne caruthers ? josh : how could she possibly know that ... billy : i do n't know , josh . but i 'm just saying if you were wrong about her stopping , maybe you were wrong about other things . josh : what do you mean ? billy : what 's to say that she and her friends are n't responsible for that car being pulled out of the river ? michelle : maryanne caruthers , dad . i 'm just wondering if you remember her ? maybe remember at least a little something about this woman maryanne . ed : no . i do n't . michelle : are you sure ? michelle : dad ? ! ed : will you stop ? i told you to drop it ! what are you bringing me enforcement now ? michelle : dad , we just came to see how shayne was doing , that 's all . ed : i 'm sorry , girls . i 've been up all night with shayne . michelle : but it seemed like you were accusing me of something . ed : i 'm not accusing you of anything . i actually just thought that you were still upset because i requested we do different work shifts . michelle : okay . ed : i 'm just ... i 'm not myself . i 'm sorry . i 'm tired . marina : how is he ? ed : he 's stable . the post operative stage is critical . marina : can i see him ? ed : no . i just think , you know , he 's resting now . and what you should do is when he 's resting you should try to get some rest or maybe even go home and bring whatever it is you need to camp out here . so if you 'll excuse me . michelle : dad ? dad , we are n't finished . ed : yes , we are ! billy : this thing has been quiet for 30 years . and now you 're telling me that 's just a coincidence that these girls start asking questions and the next thing you know they pull that car up out of the river ? josh : it has to be a coincidence . the only other way they could know would be if somebody told them . billy : oh , and that 's not a possibility ? josh : are you suggesting that i told them ? billy : no . not you . but , josh , there 's a lot of regret here . and where there 's regret somebody may want to ease their conscious . i just do n't want to see us all get hurt , because one person ca n't handle the pressure . josh : the girls do n't know . and they 're not going to know . billy : how could you be sure ? josh : because if my daughter knew , she would n't be able to look me straight in the eye . that 's how i know . billy : okay . let 's get out of here . this place gives me the creeps . carrie : as well it should . as well it should . gus : ca n't tell me or you wo n't tell me ? alan : i ca n't . gus : ca n't . so you do n't remember what happened to your car ? alan : no , i do n't know what happened to my car . i mean it was stolen . the thief did n't call me up and tell me what he had done with it . was there a body in the driver seat when you found it ? gus : no . there was no body . you did n't fill out a report ? alan : no , i did n't . i mean ... why do n't ... you 've been checking on this . why do n't you tell me what went on ? gus : now , look , i ... i ... i understand , you know , you 're made of money . i get that . but you get upset when someone takes your pen . so are you telling me you just let this slide ? alan : no , no . if i lose a pen , i tell my secretary . if i lose a car , i 'm sure that i told someone . gus : so you did n't cal the police station ? that 's what people do . alan : no , i have n't dealt with them until you came along . gus : so you must have called somebody . who 'd you call ? alan : look , i 'm sure i had my lackey call someone . but it was 30 years ago , gus . gus : are you telling me that you did n't follow up ? alan : no . gus : on your car ? alan : look , i had dozens of cars then , son . i mean i 've had hundreds since then . gus : i 'm sorry . i ca n't relate to that , you know , because i personally am working on my fourth car . alan : well , that could be remedied . you are a vice president of spaulding enterprises now . i 'll be happy to get you a company car . gus : no , i do n't want a car . i do n't want a car . i just want to ... i 'd like to follow up what happened to this car . so could you please tell me how your car ended up parked at the bottom of the river ? alan : i do n't know how . and my guess is we never will . now my question to you , gus , is why are you spending so much time on this when you 're on the spaulding clock , huh ? gus : that 's temporary , okay . and let 's never forget that i am a cop first . so ... big al , all i 'm saying is unless the csi crime team comes up with a miracle , i was really hoping you 'd help me just take care of this case . just put it in the past . alan : well , i 'm sorry that i have been more help to you . and i have got to go to a meeting . excuse me . gus : hey , do n't you want to hang out and , like , bust on buzz for awhile or something ? alan : well , i 'd like to , but i 'm needed somewhere else . jeffrey : satisfied with the answer you got ? harley : i will just put this up for you . you know , phillip , you do n't have to worry . zach does n't even really understand what 's going on here . he just wants you to get better . we all do . you 're the only one who does n't think that 's a possibility . phillip : ( mumbles ) harley : i just want to help that 's all . phillip : you are . harley : how ? phillip : taking care of zach . harley : well , i 'm his mother . i already have that job . i was thinking of helping in a different way . i know sometimes it 's really hard for you to shut off your brain . and i was thinking maybe i could help in that way . phillip : what ? harley : work ? spaulding enterprises ? phillip : too tired . yeah , too tired . harley : it 's okay . it 's okay . just take it easy . phillip : yeah ... harley : and you think about it . maybe something will come to you . gus is covering for you like you asked him to . and i was thinking if something 's bothering you , you know , if you feel like something is slipping through the cracks , maybe you could tell me and i could tell him , and he would take care of it . phillip : i know what you 're doing . harley : what ? phillip : it 's langham . he wants you to test my memory . harley : no . phillip : yeah . harley : no . i came here on my own , phillip . i really do just want to help . um ... so gus , he gave me the names of some of the key players there . i 'd figured i 'd run them by you . you could tell me what you think and then ... gus would have a better idea of what he 's dealing with . so i 'll just say the names and then you tell me what you think . i 'll just say the names . harrison in marketing . lancaster in bonds . saunders in law . green in pharmaceuticals . now , there 's a guy , you know , he 's got a huge ego , that guy . what do you think about him , phillip ? phillip : i ca n't . i ca n't because i 'm tired . harley : you ca n't ? phillip : i 'm tired . harley : you ca n't because ... phillip : i 'm tired . harley : you know that there 's something up with green , or you ca n't because there 's nothing to know ? phillip : tired . i 'm too tired . i 'm too tired . harley : you know what , that 's okay . you go to sleep . you just go to sleep , okay . i just want you to be safe . i 'm just having trouble figuring out how to make you safe , and what i 'm saving you from . you sleep . i will tell zach that his daddy loves him , and that he ca n't wait to see him . and i ca n't wait for this whole thing to be over . jeffrey : i was wondering how you would react when i called you about this . gus : well , that 's not really true , is it ? you do n't drop a 30-year - old license plate in my lap that belongs to my father and think i 'm not going to follow up . no , the only thing that 's out of character here for you is the lurking , this lurking that you 're doing . jeffrey : if i were lurking , you never would have caught me . so i gather from your questions that you 're a little uneasy with your father 's explanations . gus : it took me by surprise . jeffrey : oh , so , the trail is cold . gus : maybe , maybe not . jeffrey : ah , do i hear just a little bit of interest here ? possibility that you might want to pursue this a little further , see where it leads ? gus : maybe . maybe not . jeffrey : how nice to see half of springfield 's love couple , or should i say lucky couple ? brad : i can see that you 're all choked up that the charges against my wife have been dropped . jeffrey : it 's impressive , you know , how both you and your wife avoided prosecution . you must have friends in high places . brad : and enemies in low ones . you must hate to lose . jeffrey : i never lose . there 's all kinds of justice , you know . brad : is that a threat ? jeffrey : i do n't need to threaten you . just the thought of you and your lovely wife locked up together under one roof forever . well , if that does n't scream justice , i do n't know what does . marah : jeffrey , hi , it 's ... it 's me . i do n't know . i guess i just wanted to hear your voice . and i know what we promised and i 'm sticking to that . i do n't know . happy new year . i 'll ... i 'll see you around . bye . marina : okay , so i got some pjs , some other stuff i thought shayne might want when he wakes up . what is all of this ? who raided the grocery store ? marah : uh , probably my dad . it had to be him . marina : how do you know that ? marah : because it 's ... it 's just so him . he 's trying to take care of me . marina : i thought i knew my grandfather . i do n't know , we had this whole rhythm , you know . i knew exactly what he was going to say at just about anything . and now it 's ... i mean i just ca n't believe the way that dr. bauer yelled at michelle today . you know , i 've never known him to be like that . and ... i do n't know , how well do we know anybody ? marah : well , i 'll tell you one thing . i wish i never heard the name maryanne caruthers . and we 're not the only ones . michelle : okay , i 'll get right on these . is there anymore in this wing ? nurse : just shayne lewis . but your father 's handling that case personally . michelle : okay . oh , no . dad , dad , stop ! ed : what ? michelle : dad . shayne gets a glucose solution , not this . this is for the patient in 112 . ed : i picked up the wrong vial . i almost ... michelle : but you did n't . ed : but i could have . michelle : dad , look , even if you had , worst case shayne would have gotten a longer - than - prescribed nap . you caught it , dad . but the important thing is to figure out how this happened . ed : i just ... i should n't have taken the double shift . michelle : so you 're just overtired , that 's all ? dad , are you ... ed : my every mistake does n't come out of a bottle , michelle . michelle : you understand why i had to ask you , though ? ed : i 'm tired ! does it ever occur to you that my pressure might come from something other than a ... than alcohol ? michelle : something other ? by that you mean me , right ? ed : i 've got to get out of here . just make sure he gets his glucose . michelle : dad . look , lewis needs to get the glucose and i need someone to cover for me as soon as possible . nurse : is something wrong ? michelle : yeah , something is really wrong and it ends today . jeffrey : it took you long enough . harley : well , i have a life . and what are we doing meeting here instead of the safe house ? jeffrey : being swept . harley : you mean somebody might have heard some of our conversations ? jeffrey : take it easy . it 's routine . harley : okay , so it 's a safe house . is it safe ? what makes you think that this place could ... jeffrey : we 're safe . harley : ( sighs ) you and your toys . jeffrey : so what do you got for me ? talk to me . harley : i have to say i 'm a little hurt . there 's no food here . jeffrey : you want room service ? so , listen i ran into green today . i dropped the hint that it was taking some big guns to get him set free . harley : well , let 's just hope that power is not an aphrodisiac . jeffrey : or that it is . harley : look , could we keep the indecent proposal talk to a minimum ? jeffrey : how was your little meeting with phillip ? harley : what ? jeffrey : you can take your wire off , harley , okay . but i still got your back 24/7 . okay , i 'm watching . so , did he give you anything on spaulding enterprises ? harley : phillip and i share a child . i went there out of concern . it had nothing to do with this case . and for you to suggest otherwise shows that you do n't know me very well . jeffrey : oh , i know you , terrier . so out with it . harley : even if i did ask phillip a few innocent questions , it was for phillip and gus . not for you , got it ? my motives are pure . jeffrey : so are mine , harley , so are mine . marah : hey , we were just about to stop by the hospital . what is it ? is it shayne ? michelle : no , but it could have been . marina : hey , what does that mean ? michelle : now , look , shayne is fine . but my dad has gone over the edge . and i need to find carrie . carrie ! carrie , get out here now ! this thing is over . do you hear me ? it is over ! marah : michelle , are you going to tell us what happened ? michelle : look , my dad is a wreck and she is responsible . marina : what did she do to him ? michelle : she did n't have to do anything to him . i did it for her . you guys saw my dad this morning and he 's getting more and more out of control by the minute . and it all goes back to the day that i asked him about maryanne caruthers . well , i 'm tired of asking . i 'm tired of breaking my father 's spirit . i want to know what the big , bad secret is , and i want to know now ! carrie ! buzz : ed . billy : hey , cat dragged in ... ed , you look terrible . josh : how 's shayne doing ? ed : he 's stable . he 's stable . buzz : you guys come back again , okay . woman : thank you , we will . buzz : ed , what happened ? ed : all right , look , i need this to be over . we have ... we have to stop this now . billy : hey , you do n't mean that . it 's just the fatigue talking . you up all night with shayne . ed : billy , i know what i mean . billy : okay , okay , okay . well , maybe you should just ... you should just take us through it so we can ... we can help you over with this . ed : i almost gave a patient the wrong medication today . josh : well , but you did n't right ? i mean , you caught yourself ... ed : i did n't catch anything ; michelle did . josh : my point is nobody got hurt . i mean these things do happen , right ? ed : the patient was your son . it was just ... a sedative this time . but ... there were other more powerful drugs on the cart . and if i had given him ... one of those ... josh : but ... but you did n't . ed : but i could have ! i mean , what are we saying here ? that someone else has to get hurt before we stop this ? we have to come clean . billy : maybe it 's just a matter of you cleaning up , ed . ed : billy , i am not drinking , but i ca n't keep this in anymore , i ca n't ... billy : you can and you will . buzz : ed , ed , i ca n't tell you what to do . i mean i 've made mistakes , we 've all ... ed : josh , i do n't understand how you can be so calm about what could have happened ... josh : ed , all i know is that shayne would n't have come as far as he 's come if it had n't been for you . now , you almost made a mistake . you did n't make a mistake . you wo n't make another one , i 'm sure . ed : this is the beginning of the end . we have all been kidding ourselves . we are going to have to pay for what we did . billy : look , you 've always made it a point to stay out of these things , but you need to be here now . and you need to be here right now at company . harley : even if aliens had dropped down into the middle of the spaulding boardroom , phillip would n't have noticed a thing . jeffrey : why , he ca n't recall anything ? harley : because whatever 's going on at spaulding 's not even on his radar . you know . he 's been focused on his family . the man has had a breakdown . jeffrey : what about before his family started having these problems ? harley : i just do n't think he knew anything was wrong , really . i do n't think that brad green has been anything to him more than just a nuisance . jeffrey : so you came up empty ? harley : well , i did n't say that . because it got me thinking . even though brad green is just a nuisance to phillip , he 's obviously more important than that to somebody else . jeffrey : really ? who would that be ? harley : alexandra . jeffrey : well , i was wondering if you were ever able to get there ? you and alexandra do n't exactly get along , do you ? harley : it 's more complicated than that . she is more complicated than that . jeffrey : uh - huh . harley : i mean , we got along ... well , we did n't get along and then we got along . we do n't get along anymore . jeffrey : you do n't get along , good . because when she sees you cozying up with brad green , she might do something . she might react , slip up . harley : is that what this is about ? you think that alexandra is out to hurt phillip and gus ? jeffrey : well , it would n't be the first time , would it ? harley , this thing might take us to alexandra . it might take us to the mailroom , i do n't know . okay , i do n't have a personal agenda here . i ca n't say the same thing for you . harley : i do not want to be the one to have to tell phillip that alexandra is up to her old tricks . jeffrey : are n't buzz and alexandra ... harley : oh , boy , this just gets better and better . jeffrey : can you handle it ? harley : well , of course i can handle it . i just do n't want to have to handle it . small town , got to love it , right ? everybody 's into everybody else 's business . but you would n't know a thing about that , right , jeffrey ? jeffrey : no , i guess i would n't . gus : all right , your turn . your turn . phillip : why ... gus : why ? why are we playing checkers , is that ... because i 'm too smart to play chess and get a whooping , so it 's your turn . go ahead . okay , there you go . and now it 's my turn . king me , look at that . i got to tell you that 's seven games in a row . you owe me another million dollars . plus the four million , that 's five million . you can pay me tuesday . because i know you 're good for it .

ed sees marah , michelle and marina talking at the hospital -- and already frazzled , believes they are conspiring to ask him more questions about maryanne caruthers . when he attempts to put them off , he realizes their questions were just about shayne . later , he nearly gives shayne the wrong medicine , and for ed , it 's the last straw . he goes to company and tells buzz , billy and josh he ca n't keep the secret any longer . billy brings alan into it but no one can talk sense into ed , who tries to leave . it promises to get violent , quickly , when ed charges out the door and billy roughly pulls him back , insisting what they know stays in the room . but they 're unaware that michelle has `` had it `` as well , having witnessed ed 's medical blunder and knowing it 's somehow tied to the stress he 's feeling -- stress she now fears she put him under by bringing up maryanne to begin with . she returns to the museum and angrily summons carrie , demanding the whole story . carrie is happy to oblige . harley visits phillip , and against her better judgment , questions him about things at spaulding . getting nothing , she assures him all his friends want him better , soon -- and leaves . she reports in to jeffrey , who is aware of her visit and asks if she got anything . when harley rails against the way this job is setting her up against the people she loves , jeffrey is affected . after harley goes , he picks up a message marah had left for him , and he silently and sadly deletes it .

( cheers and applause ) ava : i 'm so happy for you . buzz : friends , honored guests , and the people of springfield , what you see standing before you is actually living proof of the american dream . a generation ago , my family came here from greece with only their clothes on their backs , with their beloved culture in their hearts and their minds , and the willingness to make life better for their children . and they never lost that faith ... mallet : he 's just a little nervous . that 's all . buzz : they never lost that faith . and if i am to continue the work they began ... if i am half the man , half the citizen ... harley : what 's wrong ? coop : just read the speech , dad . buzz : this is a very nice speech . my son , the writer , helped me with it , as did my gracious opponent , doris wolfe , and she remarked to me that perhaps this was n't me , and i do n't think it is me . so let 's talk about me . me . i 'm a guy that 's made a lot of mistakes . more than his share . some of them were harmless and just hurt me , but some of them hurt other people . and i think when i began this campaign , i thought this might atone for it . that maybe the good i do would wipe out the bad , and my family could finally be proud of me . harley : we are . ( cheers and applause ) we are . we are , daddy ! ( cheers and applause ) buzz : well , thank you , harley . thank you , coop . thank you , frank . thank you , lillian . listen , i 've had many loves in my life ... but there are two that will sustain me and last . and that 's my family and this town . and they are both in crises now . and if i am the man i say i am , i 've got to do something about it . there are some things that are so wrong that they hurt people , and words ca n't do anything to help that . you have to walk the talk . coop : what 's he talking about ? buzz : i 'm so lucky to have the loyal people around me that i do , and i will never forget it . but now is the time to speak the truth . i did not win this election . doris wolfe won this election . the election was fixed . i 'm sorry . woman : buzz , you just ca n't walk away . buzz : yes , i can . frank : what the hell 's going on here ? what did you just do ? just tell me the truth ! buzz : i just did , frank , finally . harley : frank , stop it . daddy , you just did n't want the job , so you made it up , right ? buzz : i meant every word of it . sometimes you have to take responsibility for everything . everything . harley : daddy ! frank : what are you talking about ? what ... ava : coop , i 'm sorry ... coop : no , look . there 's got to be some sort of a mistake . there 's got to be some sort of mistake . doris : ladies and gentlemen , i know that i can speak for all of us when i say we have just been through a great shock . and it 's going to take some time for us to recover and to get our bearings again , but we will . springfield is more than just one man , or one woman , or one election . and i pledge to make sure that justice is done and that this town receives the leadership that it deserves . if i am , indeed , mayor , then i will make sure personally that the people responsible for perpetrating this fraud will be punished to the fullest extent of the law . i am a lonely train ready to run away i 'm gon na disappear they roll their eyes cutting me down to size straight line i could n't face so i break said if i bend i break maybe i know it maybe i ca n't come through everyone 's waiting to see what i 'm gon na do it 's so hard to stand under that weight hard to be eight - feet tall tall tall ... [ next_on ] cyrus : i know it 's what you wanted . marina : and then you and harley get what you want . officer : mr. cooper ? buzz : officer , i 've been expecting you . doris : plans ... it 'll go far enough . coop : doris is the forgiving type . doris : they leave company standing . ava : you 're going to give up , no - guilt sex , for her ? lizzie : find something else that starts your engine .

cassie : have a good day , mr. o'neill . jeffrey : thank you , mrs. winslow , but my day is half over . cassie : i thought you got off to a late start . did n't see you at breakfast this morning . jeffrey : room service is a wonderful thing . cassie : now you 're off to the office ? jeffrey : yes , dear . you know , i always wanted to say that to someone . just to hear how it sounded . i do n't like it . actually , i 'm on my way to the hospital . cassie : someone sick ? jeffrey : they 're doing much better , actually . i 'm going to see your nephew , shayne . cassie : really ? jeffrey : yeah . what ? i like the guy . cassie : yeah , well he 's a likable kind of guy . you just seem to be awfully cozy with my family now . jeffrey : well , your family is very cozy , with one notable exception , of course . reva , shayne , cassie : marah . jeffrey : even your brother - in - law , josh , the first man in this town i have been able to get drunk with . i guess that automatically makes me part of the lewis family . i guess you 'd better add me to the christmas list for next year . cassie : it 's not so bad , you know . jeffrey : what ? cassie : belonging somewhere , having people . jeffrey : i have people . cassie : oh , i do n't know . you seem like you isolate yourself . and i ok , well i 'm sorry . have a nice visit with shayne . jeffrey : yeah , i will have a nice visit with he and i connect . cassie : you and shayne , you connect ? you guys could n't be more opposite . he 's loving , he 's kind . he does n't have a hidden agenda . jeffrey : shayne 's a remarkable young man . you know , he had his whole life mapped out in front of him and he worked hard to get what he wanted and just when he was about to get everything that meant the most to him , bam , just like that , gone , over . his whole future changed and there 's no going back . cassie : is that what happened to you ? jeffrey : i did n't say that . i feel for the kid . that 's all . it reminds you of how life can change just like that . ( snaps finger ) carrie : so , michelle , you want to hear the whole truth about maryanne caruthers . are you sure that 's really what you want ? marina : yes marah : yes carrie : what if i tell you the whole story and you do n't like what you hear ? michelle : i ca n't be any worse than the limbo we 're in right now . carrie : oh , my dear , my dear , i would n't be too sure of that . marina : all you 've given us are little pieces , the head stone , the car , the bridges . we do n't know how it adds up . marah : or how our fathers fit into this . michelle : you made us doubt the people we trust most in this world . marina : my grandfather goes out of his way to avoid me . michelle : and my dad almost gave a patient the wrong medication . marah : my mother and father should be back together but something is holding my father back , and my brother just had major surgery and is lying in bed . i should be there with him , not arguing with you . cassie . i 'm the cause of all of your woes . michelle : we do n't have the time or patience . we need to know who she was and what exactly happened the night she died and we need to know now . ed : keep your hands off of me . alan : look , ed , if you think you 're going to walk out of here , tell the truth , and somehow feel better about this , you 're a fool ! ed : alan this , has to end now . billy : this ends when we say it ends ! ( all speaking at once ) reva : oh , amy . is something wrong with shayne ? amy : no , i was just checking his vitals . he 's fine . i did n't realize you were still here . reva : actually i just went for a walk to get the kinks out . amy : shayne 's gon na be asleep for a while . why do n't you get home and get some rest ? reva : i 'll go home when i can take my son with me . jeffrey : hi . reva : hi . jeffrey : how 's he doing ? reva : he woke up from the surgery , thank god , but all the doctors will say is wait and see . jeffrey : doctors have to be even more cautious than lawyers these days . reva : except for you , jeffrey . you 're not cautious at all , are you ? jeffrey : i 've been known to bend a few rules . reva : and go the extra mile , you know , like you did with the acupuncture option for shayne . introducing him to dr. yuan ... jeffrey : i thought it would help . reva : it did . is there something going on with you ? something different in your life ? you seem to have softened lately . jeffrey : have i grown a heart ? uh - oh . reva : whatever it is , i 'd like to know what 's caused it , or maybe i should say who has cause it . jeffrey : i introduced shayne to dr. yuan . does n't mean i 'm all warm and fuzzy . reva : but there is also the kids . jeffrey : what about the kids ? reva : you seem to have lost your aversion to children , at least according to cassie . at christmastime you were great . you even bought them gifts jeffrey : i knew they would pout and complain if i did n't . reva : and then there 's marah . jeffrey : the fashion queen of springfield ? reva : my daughter . jeffrey : what about her ? reva : you asked her about some contracts . jeffrey : marah is very talented , but a bit naive where business is concerned . i did n't want anyone taking advantage of her . that 's all . reva : nor do i . jeffrey : you know , speaking of the contracts , you know , they sent me the signed copies , and i just happen to have them with me . reva : what am i supposed to do with them ? jeffrey : will you give them to her ? reva : why ca n't you give them to her yourself ? jeffrey : because you 'll see her before i do reva : is that your license plate ? jeffrey : yes , it is . reva : it 's rusty . it looks like it 's been under water or something . jeffrey : actually , it does n't belong to me . it 's for a case i 'm working on . reva : it 's evidence ? jeffrey : it might be . reva : so the da 's hat goes back on . or maybe you 've been wearing it all along . jeffrey : i am concern about shayne . reva : but you thought if you brought this to me , i might get a feeling or impression . jeffrey : when you found that girl in chicago , it was extraordinary . reva : is this a missing person 's case ? jeffrey : you tell me . carrie : you 're right . i 've doled out this information very gradually . i had my reasons . marina : to drive us crazy ? carrie : only partially : i wanted you to absorb the information at your own speed . i wanted you to hear and see all of the evidence with your own eyes . michelle : what evidence ? we found a grave with her head stone , but no record of her life there . there 's no ... you say she drove off cutter 's bridge , but there is no proof . carrie : proof ? but you saw the car . marah : whose car ? hers , someone else 's . and if maryanne did die going off that bridge , why is there no record ? marina : when we found out when she died , we looked through every record of every accident and there is no file . carrie : but you 're ignoring the most important evidence of all . michelle : which is what ? carrie : the way josh , buzz and edward have reacted every time that maryanne 's name has been mentioned . you 've said yourself , your father is nearly at the breaking point . and marah , your father ca n't reconcile with your mother . and marina , your grandfather -- marina : i 'm through with this . we have listened to you and you just talk and talk and we 've been on your side . michelle : marina is right . this game of yours is hurting people we love . carrie : a game ? a game ? a woman is dead is that the kind of game you want to play ? michelle : look , all we 're saying -- carrie : i know what you 're saying . you want to know the truth about maryanne caruthers , but are you prepared for it ? are you ready ? fine . but first , the rings . put them on , please . marah : are we going to make a wish ? carrie : you 've already made your wish . you wish to hear the truth about maryanne caruthers . and when you hear the truth , perhaps you 'll really understand the meaning of `` beware of what you wish for `` . josh : you 've got to get a hold of yourself , right now . ed : you okay ? bill : i 'm sorry , buzz . that was n't meant for you . josh : what the hell is the matter with you ? billy : why do n't you ask bauer , there he 's the one that 's a quitter . alan : everybody , just calm down , get control of yourself . buzz : why do n't we all be like you and feel nothing ? alan : i feel . i feel . i just do n't let my feelings blind me from the truth . ed : which is , if it were n't for you , we would n't be in this mess . alan : baring your soul accomplishes nothing , ed , except create more pain for all of us . josh : what do you suggest as an alternative ? more lies , more self deception , alan ? alan : i 've never deceived myself , josh . i 've simply been pragmatic . buzz : maybe the time for pragmatism has passed . i do n't know how much more i can take of this . maybe ed is right . maybe we have to come clean . maybe we just have to come clean if we are going to live with ourselves . alan : i can live with myself . because i know what the alternative is . ed , you say you ca n't stand the look that michelle gives you of mistrust . well , think of the way she will look at you when she finds out the truth . and marina adores you , buzz . do you think she 'll adore you when she finds out the truth ? what about frank , what about harley ? will they respect their father the way they do now ? josh , do you really believe that reva will understand ? josh : you know what ? maybe she will . alan : no , josh , she never will . now we made a choice that terrible night in our life , and it was the right choice , and you want to know what we should do now ? we should do exactly what we have been doing all along . keep our mouths shut . reva : i do n't read inanimate objects . i 'm a people person . jeffrey : this belonged to another human being , so reva : well , from a very long time ago . but you know , this really is n't my thing . my forte is connecting with people who have ... this plate is related to someone who 's dead . jeffrey : i did n't say that . reva : you have a hunch about it . you suspect it . and you also suspect foul play , otherwise you would n't be interested ? jeffrey : i do n't know , really . that 's the truth . i do n't know why this ended up where it did or how it ended up where it did . but i would like to know , and if you could help , i would really appreciate it . as a matter of fact , reva , why do n't we call it payback for dr. yuan ? reva : so much for mr . warm and fuzzy . fine . i 'm just sitting here anyway . i might as well do something useful . jeffrey : thank you . great . do you want me to stay here or leave you two alone ? reva : you can leave . but bring me back some coffee . milk , no sugar . jeffrey : okay . what ? reva : i 'm seeing ... a corn muffin , too . i knew it . nothing . carrie : beginnings . they 're always so hard to define . let 's start with an evening , the evening of october 17 , 1977 . a county harvest fair on the outskirts of town . ed : i wish we had never gone to that stupid fair . alan : it was your idea . buzz : who cares whose idea it was . we went . josh : you know , that 's something i always wondered , alan . was that really just a coincidence that we all ended up at the same fair ? alan : do you think i planned it that way ? i hardly knew you . josh : did n't stop from you roping us into your plans , did it ? buzz : whose idea was this corn ball fair , billy ? billy : hey , there 's some mighty pretty fillies around here . buzz : : check out the girls in bangkok . do have you a plan ? alan : patience , gents , the night is still young . carrie : even as a young man alan spaulding made his own rules . brandon spaulding 's son , heir to the fortune . when he saw something , he usually just took it . josh : you know , me and billy were just country boys . but , alan , i never understood why you wanted to go to that fair at all . buzz : alan just wanted to check out the livestock . ed : from the moment we got there , i had a bad feeling . i just wanted to leave . josh : same here . billy : yeah , and we both know why . josh : this fair makes me think of home . billy : makes you think of reva shayne , you mean . dang joshua . we come all the way to springfield to check out a business deal for hb , and all you can think about is the gal you left back home . hey , hey , doc . maybe you can help me out here . i think my little brother is love sick . josh : billy . billy : ai n't you proud to have such a fine gal , josh ? ed : you just met her , josh . josh : no , i 've known her a while . billy : her momma is our housekeeper . ( laughter ) alan : your father must love his son mooning over the hired help . josh : did i ask your opinion ? carrie : even back then , marah , your father was besotted with your mother . he would never even think of looking at another woman , but he was with his big , bad brother , and his brother had a way of leading josh into trouble . and you know your grandfather was no stranger to trouble , marina . and buzz was back in springfield on leave from the service . and was only back for a few days . that 's the way he wanted it . not even his family knew he was in town . by contrast , your father , michelle , seemed like the perfect upstanding citizen . a hard working resident from one of springfield 's best families with a wonderful career ahead of him , but ed was sabotaging that bright future with a drinking problem he could not or would not face . ditto for your uncle billy , marah . the young men were already on their third pitcher of beer . alan : first , i 'd like to propose a toast . gentlemen , ... miss mary -- miss maryanne caruthers . josh : what was about it that girl , alan ? why did you want her so much ? bill : she was rich , like him . buzz : because she was beautiful . ed : because she told him no and he could n't stand that . ed : forget it , alan . she 's the one girl in springfield that does n't want you . alan : she 's not my type anyway . she 's older . and she 's too much of a party girl . you should see her when she drinks . makes a real spectacle of yourself . josh : sounds like your kind of gal , billy boy . alan : you guys want to see her in action ? if you do , i 've got just the thing . marina : so , what was in the vile . cocaine ? carrie : no , it was the drug that spaulding pharmaceuticals had developed . michelle : the white powder the old curator discovered , from ancient egypt . carrie : one and the same . marina : all of the stories that you 've told us are connected . marah : wait a minute . something is off here because my father would never be involved in drugs . carrie : josh did n't want to do it . but alan can be very , very persuasive . alan : all we have to do is put this in a glass of beer , get her to drink it , and voila , miss icicle turns into miss behaved of 1977 . josh : forget it , alan , no way . ed : absolutely no way alan : come on . it will be fun . ed : fun ? putting the moral issue aside ... billy : what ? the moral issue ? listen to mr. self - righteous , here . ed : that 's an anesthetic . you give someone too much of that thing and you 're playing with fire . buzz : if this chick is an icicle with you , then your doing something wrong . i 've never needed a drug to get a girl 's attention . i 'm going to try my hand at a couple of those games . josh : right behind you , buzz . alan : billy , i did n't hear you condemn my idea just now . billy : i 'm always up for a little fun , as long as no one gets hurt . alan : go talk to her . maryanne . ask her to go on a ride with you then invite her back here for a beer . billy : all right . as long as that chick is the only one you slip a mickey to . do n't go doping up my brother 's beer , alan . alan : this is just for maryanne , billy , trust me . billy : trust you . famous last words , alan . alan : it was n't my problem if the girl could n't hold her liquor . ed : for the love ... are you still denying what you did after all these years ? buzz : you knew what the junk would do to her . josh : we all knew . none of us was completely innocent that night . let 's face it . carrie : it 's true . everyone knew what would happen when maryanne came back to the table , but no one , no one lifted a finger to stop it . billy : so that 's what it was . that 's what the smell in the car was . boys , i 'd like y ' all to meet maryanne . say hello , sugar . maryanne : hello , sugar ? carrie : those young men all knew what alan wanted that night and deep down in some dark secret place in their hearts , they wanted the same thing . they wanted her . have had you a change of heart , ladies ? shall will stop ? marah : i wish you had never started . marina : i do n't suppose this thing has a happy ending . michelle : not likely . but we 've come this far and there is no going back . so go on , finish it . marah : yeah , marina : just finish it . carrie : all right . now , where was i ? yes . a bit of time passed . they laughed , they drank some more beer , and then maryanne left the fairgrounds with the five young men . it all looked perfectly harmless . alan : that drug was harmless . the fda approved it , for god 's sake . ed : it was approved as an anesthetic , not a date drug . billy : you put it in the beer , so we all drank it . even after you promised me . josh : what did you say ? he promised you something ? you knew beforehand what he was planning to do ? billy : no , not like that . alan told me he just wanted to have some fun , get her a little high , maybe a little too high , get her to embarrass herself and we were are going to send her home with a big old headache . ed : your intentions were completely innocent , right ? billy : no , they were n't . but were alan and i planning on setting the girl up so we could have our way with in the back seat with her ? that 's not true . josh : is that what you have been telling yourself all these years ? is that how you sleep at night . billy : i sleep just fine . you know why ? because i saved your life that night , josh . that 's why i sleep fine . or have you forgotten that ? josh : no , i have n't forgotten anything . ( laughter ) ( car accelerating ) _ billy : maryanne , have another beer . _ maryanne : is it getting hot in here or is it just me ? boys : it 's just you . carrie : it 's true what they said about maryanne . she loved to party . she could be very reckless , but she never , never thought anyone would drug her . alan : do n't make maryanne caruthers out to be so innocent . i could tell you some stories about her , and after all , she was drinking our beer that night was n't she ? she loved the attention we gave her . she flirted with every one of us and knew full well when she got in the car with all five of us , we lusted after her . josh : speak for yourself . buzz : like you were thinking of reva the whole time ? ed : we were n't thinking . period . buzz : i remember she asked to you slow down . alan : relax . i know this road like the back of my hand . alan : i was n't going that fast . i knew the road like the back of my hand . maryanne : please take me home . please , you guys . ed : she thought we were taking her home . alan : soon . relax . alan : she was n't naive . she knew we were out for a good time . alan : relax . maryanne : no , i want to go home . i want to go home now . josh : the fog was getting heavier . god , it was hot in that car . buzz : maryanne started to pass out . _ buzz : alan , alan , stop the car . _ ed : she needs a doctor . ed : she needed a doctor . alan : who , you ? alan : who you ? billy : what the hell were you thinking ? ed : slow down . you have to stop the car . ( voices of protest ) josh : you were heading straight for the bridge . ed : way too fast . carrie : there was something in the road , a deer , a tree branch down . josh : i thought i saw maryanne grab the wheel . billy : i swear i heard the tire blow out . ed : i thought the bridge was out . what the hell was it ? buzz : oh , bull ! alan just lost control . alan : that 's a lie , it was n't me . carrie : perhaps it was just fate . jeffrey : reva ? reva ? you drifted off . reva : no . no , this was way too real to be a dream . jeffrey : what was ? what was ? reva : shayne was drowning . jeffrey : looks like he 's fine . seems to be resting . do you want to check to be sure ? reva : no , i do n't want to wake him . why would i see water and someone going under ? i do n't understand . jeffrey : well , you had that in your hand when it happened . i did n't fell enthusiasm before , but that plate was taken from a car that was found at the bottom of a river . it had been there for over 30 years and we have no idea how it got there . reva : so someone was drowning , but not shayne . who was it ? carrie : the car drove full speed ahead off cutter 's bridge into the river below . the riff was very deep and the current was very swift , in seconds the water was up to the windows . buzz : somehow i managed to get the passenger door open . do n't ask me how . leave no one behind . leave no one behind . they drill it into you . leave no one behind . billy : josh ! billy : i kept shouting for you , josh . my lungs were about to burst . ed : my lungs were about to burst , if you had n't pulled me up when you did buzz : you would you have done the same thing for me . josh : thank god you found me , billy , thank god . buzz : : has anyone seen alan ? josh : what about the girl ? buzz : i 'm going back in . billy : me , too . alan : the water is pitch black . i dove in again and looked and looked . the current is too strong . the car is way down there now . it 's deep . billy : did you see her ? did you catch a glimpse of her or something ? alan : no . billy : come on ! alan : be careful . the current will pull you under . buzz : you were right , alan . the car had drifted way downstream and the current .... billy : lord only knows where it took her . we looked and looked until we nearly drowned ourselves . we could n't find her anywhere . it 's like she just disappeared . ed : at that moment , it 's always haunted me , god help me , i could n't remember her name . buzz : maybe that 's why no one said it . alan : there was nothing to say . josh : yes , there was . she had a name . her name was -- carrie : maryanne . jeffrey : here . reva , i 'm sorry . reva : it 's alright . jeffrey : no , it 's not alright , ok ? you have enough to deal with without me trying to pump you for information about something that happened thirty years ago . it was probably nothing anyway . just somebody decided to dump a car in the river reva : you must have had a hunch or you would n't have brought me this . jeffrey : my hunches have been wrong . reva : when ? jeffrey : about as often as yours . listen , i 've got to go . i 've got a deposition to take . so i will see you later . reva : jeffrey , wait ! joshua . josh : billy . i 'm sorry about what i said earlier . you saved my life . billy : i just wish i could have saved her life . buzz : we all do , billy . josh : the question is : what do we do now ? alan : one thing we do n't do , we do n't cave in . we stick to our guns . ed : come on , alan . the girls are n't going to stop asking questions . alan : let them ask . maryanne 's family is gone ! no one is here to answer them . if we stick to our guns , no one will answer them . billy : if there is nobody left to care , who is putting maryanne 's name in the girls heads ? buzz : how could anyone else know about this ? josh : well , obviously , somebody thinks they know something . alan : well , something we have to do is keep an eye on all three of the girls , know where they are at all times , who they 're talking to . ed : what are you asking us to do , spy on our own children ? alan : do have you have a better idea ? if we keep our eye on them , maybe they can lead us to the person who is stirring all this up . carrie : that 's enough for one day . now you know why your fathers have kept that secret all those years . could i have the rings , please ? well , do n't tell me you think i made this all up . michelle : there 's one thing i do n't understand . you said that our fathers and buzz and billy and alan were the only ones there . how do you know what happened ? carrie : because they were n't the only ones there . there was a witness . someone on the river bank who saw it all . someone who was too frightened to run , someone who saw everything . alan : so we all agree on our story . we never knew anyone named maryanne caruthers . alan : my car was stolen . that 's what i told gus . i have no idea what happened to it after that . alan : i have no idea what happened to it after that . billy : alan 's right . we tried to save her . now we got to think about saving ourselves . because if this gets out , our lives will be over , too . billy : josh , are you okay ? ed : no , he 's not okay . none of us are . buzz : alan 's right . we made a decision . we have to stick to it . we have to keep this buried . alan : forever . til death do us part . alan : til death do us part . carrie : that 's the trouble with the truth . it does n't always set you free . alan : next on guiding light michelle : we 're all thinking the same thing , right ? marah : that we have to go through with this . marina : no matter where it leads or what it costs ? michelle : we 're in too deep . we have no other choice . buzz : someone out there is putting this stuff in your head . i want to know who it is . marina : you 're not going to answer my questions . buzz : they 're taking advantage of your heart , your wonderful , huge heart . it 's not fair to you . it 's not fair to who you are . michelle : do we really have to do this ? ed : know everything about what ? michelle : october 1977 , the fair , the woman , the accident !

[ previously_on ] doris : the charges have been dropped , but , believe me , this case is far from closed . cyrus : are you sure you 're okay ? lizzie : bill did n't do this . i know it . daisy : we 're moving , grady and me . ashlee : i mean , you have to decide , what 's more important to you , impressing your family or being with grady . grady : we 're going to head down to some motel on fourth street . ashlee : you can come stay with me , both of you . [ scene_break ] alan : and i thought my day could n't get worse . cyrus : actually , i 'd say it 's your lucky day . alan : why ? are you being deported ? cyrus : no . but i have decided to wrap up our business arrangement . alan : business arrangement ? the last time you were here , you called it blackmail . cyrus : it seems like it 's run its course , do n't you think ? and as of today , i 'm not going to ask you for another dime . alan : out of the goodness of your heart ? cyrus : of course not . i have a condition : stay away from grady . alan : i do n't socialize with your brother . cyrus : no . you just ask him to do your dirty work . and since it looks like lizzie is sticking with bill , i 'm sure that makes you very unhappy . so whatever you 've got planned , keep grady out of it . alan : you know , you 've been walking quite a tightrope here lately , have n't you ? working for elizabeth , protecting bill , and keeping all suspicion about the fire at the warehouse away from your brother . you 're damn lucky . cyrus : it happens . wish i could say the same for you . [ scene_break ] dinah : oh , hi . vanessa : hello . dinah : have you heard the good news ? vanessa : about bill ? dinah : yes , about bill . it 's fantastic . it 's fantastic . i can not believe the charges are dropped against him . it is the perfect ending . vanessa : i do n't know . i do n't know . did you ... did you hear that press conference that awful woman doris wolfe gave ? i mean , she 's ambitious . she 's so vicious . i mean , she practically encouraged the whole town to stone him or something . dinah : she is a politician . what did you expect her to say ? vanessa : i 'm worried . i 'm worried about his reputation . i 'm worried that people will still doubt bill . dinah : like his father and his mother ? vanessa : i never turned my back on him . dinah : no , no , i 'll give you that . but you doubted him to his face . i mean , is n't that what you do so well , mother ? doubt your children . vanessa : dinah , dinah , this is not about you for once . dinah : you 're right . you 're right . it 's about bill being vindicated finally . vanessa : i hope so . i really , really hope so . dinah : mom , i 'm telling you ... i 'm telling you by tomorrow doris ' conference will be long forgotten , and that nightmare for bill will be over . i promise . [ scene_break ] lizzie : you do n't know if you kidnapped me ? bill : no . lizzie : what are you saying ? bill : i 'm saying ... that when i came out of the coma , that time , it 's all a blank . lizzie : so you 're saying that you have amnesia ? bill : i do n't know what to call it , lizzie . all i know is that i was in the hospital , i woke up , and i have no idea how i got there . lizzie : but i was there when you woke up , and you remembered me . bill : yeah , yeah , i did . i 'm not saying that i could n't remember anything . i remembered you . i remembered my name . and then you started talking about a car accident , and i had no idea what you were talking about . lizzie : that 's shock . that 's normal . bill : see , that 's what i thought . and you started talking about things , and i figured the reason i did n't know is because my brain was still a little fuzzy . lizzie : why did n't you the tell me this was going on ? bill : you do n't know what it 's like to wake up in a hospital and not know how you got there . and then i see you , and you 're crying . lizzie : well , i was happy . i was happy you woke up . those were happy tears . bill : right , right . but then you started talking about things , things that i had no clue about , like the car accident . and kidnapping ... you started thanking me for rescuing you from the kidnappers , and i had no idea that you were even kidnapped . and i 'm trying to process this information , and seeing if anything seems familiar , and then frank comes in and he 's not saying what you 're saying . he 's saying that i kidnapped you , and i 'm thinking no , no , no , no , no . wait . there is no way i would have ever have kidnapped you . that is not right . but then , again , i ca n't ... i ca n't remember . i ca n't remember anything about the kidnapping . and that is why i started reading the newspapers about it , because i thought maybe i would read a bit of information and it would jog my memory , and i 'd be able to answer all of the questions that everyone has for me . but nothing . lizzie , there is nothing but a blank . and the only thing i know is what people tell me . and my family ... my family thinks i 'm guilty . the police , they ... they think i 'm guilty . but you , lizzie , you have been standing by me throughout this whole thing . and even after what doris said , you were ready to go in front of a tv camera and tell the world that you believe in me . i just ... i could n't do that without you knowing the truth . i just do n't ... lizzie : so you 're saying that you did do it ? bill : no , no . what i 'm saying is that ... i hope to god i did n't . producer : crew 's all ready for your live presentation . [ scene_break ] daisy : you guys wo n't believe what i just heard on the radio . your mom trashing bill lewis . grady : what ? about the kidnapping ? daisy : yeah . even though she is dropping the charges . grady : well , that bill lewis is one lucky guy , huh ? daisy : yeah , all of the evidence burned in the fire , but she is still saying he is guilty . she just ca n't prove it . basically trying to turn the whole town against him . grady : well , i mean , hey , if the guy is guilty , then ... daisy : he 's not ! doris just , for some reason , wants to ruin his life . you have to talk to her . you work for her . we have to help bill and lizzie . [ scene_break ] buzz : hey . want some water ? dinah : okay . thanks . ooh . buzz : sorry . dinah : oh , no , it 's okay . it 's all right . buzz : are you okay ? .. you know , coop usually takes care of these . it runs like clockwork . and then i opened my big mouth and told him to pay attention to his writing , you know ? i 'm just a cook . dinah : ( laughing ) . vanessa : no word from bill . i 'm beginning to think that maybe you 're right , and i really did permanently injury my relationship to him , and he 's never going to talk to me again . dinah : no , mom , that 's not it . the only reason why he is not calling you is because he is out celebrating . vanessa : i hope so . dinah : yes . he 's been through a very difficult time . he 's gone through a lot , so he deserves to have a little fun . vanessa : what about you ? dinah : i thought you wanted to keep this about bill ? vanessa : well , i did , but then you persuaded me that he 's fine . and now i 'm wondering about you . how are things with shayne lewis ? dinah : what ? vanessa : i have ears . dinah : well , you need to get better sources . there is nothing going on between shayne and me . vanessa : would you like there to be something going on with shayne ? dinah : no . no ! you know , i 'm actually beginning to think that my life would probably be a lot better off without a man . they usually just cause too much trouble . [ scene_break ] daisy : so are you going to do it ? are you going to talk to doris ? grady : about bill lewis ? what would i say ? daisy : that he 's innocent ! grady : daisy , i just started working for doris . she 's already got advisors . she 's not going to listen to me . ashlee : he 's right . i mean , even if she would , she 's pretty hard to convince . daisy : yeah , i know . it just sucks . grady : daisy , the guy is not going to jail . is n't that all that matters ? daisy : no . grady : why do you care so much ? daisy : bill is my uncle , and he 's innocent . ashlee : how can you be so sure of that ? daisy : what ? i was at the accident after it happened . i saw bill . i saw that he was in so much pain , and still , all he cared about was lizzie . he just wanted her to be okay . that is real love . and all anyone has done since then is just point fingers at bill . do n't you see , they 're a lot like us . someone needs to stand up for them . ashlee : look , i think that bill and lizzie are going to be fine . and i think that my mom was just trying to cover her butt . daisy : i do n't know that i can live here . ashlee : what ? because of my mom ? daisy : yes . because she 's going to be coming by here . and i 'm just very angry right now , and i do n't know that i can deal with her . ashlee : she does n't have to come by here . daisy : i ca n't ask you to do that . she 's your mother . ashlee : well , and you 're my best friend . look , i understand you have a problem with her . believe me , i get it . and ... okay , she wo n't come here . i 'll go to her place , or i 'll see her in the office . but , seriously , i want you guys to stay . [ scene_break ] cyrus : so , do we have a deal ? i 'll keep what i know from lizzie , and you leave my brother alone . or i 'll go to the police right now and blow the whistle on you . and that would get you what , exactly ? alan : your brother kidnapped my granddaughter , and you helped him . you both should be behind bars . cyrus : and how do you plan on letting the police know that without implicating yourself ? you 've known the truth for weeks , alan , but you did n't go to the police , because you wanted bill to take the fall . alan : after all i have done , she still does n't walk away from him . cyrus : that 's your biggest worry , that you ca n't control your granddaughter 's love life ? what about the possibility of you going to jail ? or the fact that if lizzie ever finds out what you 've done to bill , she 'll never speak to you again ? alan : you do n't understand my relationship with elizabeth . if she found out , she would be very angry . one time she was so angry with me , she moved out . but she came back . you see , elizabeth always comes back . [ scene_break ] lizzie : i told the crew to give us a few minutes . i just ... i just need to think . bill : lizzie , i 'm sorry . lizzie : yeah . bill : i am so sorry . i saw your face when i told you , and i know how much this must be hurting you . and that 's the last thing that i wanted to do . but you stood by me all of this time . you 're the only one who stood by me . and you gave me hope . honestly , i do n't see how i would have got through any of this without you . but what i did to you ... it was n't fair . i hated lying to you , but i did it . and i did it , because i needed you . i needed you to believe in me . and there is a part of me that believes that you needed to believe in me , too . was i wrong ? lizzie : i do n't even know how to begin to answer that question . you 're telling me that you do n't know if you 're the one who kidnapped me . i mean , i want to believe it was n't you . i want to believe that you love me so much that you could have never done something so awful to me . bill : i do . i do love you , and i want to believe that , too , but ... lizzie : okay . what 's the last thing you remember ? bill : what ? lizzie : the day i was kidnapped . that was the day of our big presentation , and you gave it without me . do you remember that ? bill : yeah ... i mean , i remember that we were rehearsing for it , and then ... after that , that 's when it gets fuzzy . lizzie : well , um ... when you rescued me , you told me that you had had a realization that day about us . that ... you know , that we were more important than the company , and that it did n't matter who was in power , just as long as we were together . and you told me how much you loved me . do you remember that ? bill : no . lizzie , i am so sorry . lizzie : i know that you 're sorry , okay ? i know . i just ... i just need someone on my side . this whole time , when your family turned against you , and then my family , i felt so alone . i felt so alone . and then i remembered that i was n't alone , because i have you . and now you 're telling me that maybe i do n't . and now you 're telling me that you do n't remember . that maybe you did do it . that maybe what everyone was saying is true . oh , i , um ... i did n't think that it could get any worse , and i was wrong . bill : lizzie , i 'm so sorry . lizzie : do n't . bill : let 's ... let 's go somewhere , okay ? some place , any place , and we 'll talk about this and try to figure things out , okay ? lizzie : the broadcast . bill : forget the broadcast . the reason i told you about this is because we are about to go on live tv and defend me again . and i do n't want you to do that . lizzie : that news crew expects a statement . if we do n't give them one , they will still run a story , and it will make you look even more guilty . bill : i do n't care . lizzie : well , i do care . mayor wolfe 's press conference has to be answered , or people will ... they 'll think ... bill : look , i do n't care what other people think . i just care about what you think . lizzie : let 's go do this . [ scene_break ] vanessa : you know , when your brother was sick and in the hospital , that was as low as i have ever seen you . dinah : yup . that was a bad time . vanessa : yup . and then when you went away , i thought you might never come back . dinah : well , i was n't either . vanessa : well , here you are . you 're hungry . you 're happy . i 'd mean , i 'd almost think it was your name that had been cleared instead your brother 's . dinah : i 'm very happy for my brother . that 's it . vanessa : h 'm mm , and it has nothing to do with mr. shayne lewis ? nothing ? dinah : no , no . it was just a crazy coincidence . i only came back from germany because i was ready . ready for a fresh start . vanessa : okay , fine . do n't tell me why you 're so happy . i do n't really care . i 'm just glad you 're back . dinah : buzz looks a little overwhelmed . i 'll refill my cup . [ scene_break ] daisy : that is so cool . ashlee : i know ( laughing ) . and the best part is that it is totally a tax write - off , because i use it for work . daisy : let 's look something up about bill and see if there is any more news . ashlee : no , let 's not . i have to deal with news stuff all day long . let 's look up something fun . [ scene_break ] dinah : just so we 're clear , now that this whole mess is over , i think you should keep your distance from my brother . grady : he does n't bother me , i wo n't bother him . dinah : no . that 's not good enough . you do n't go anywhere near him . do you understand me ? daisy : oh , my god , bill and lizzie are going to be on tv . grandpa , turn on the television . dinah : what 's going on ? ashlee : well , it says here that bill and lizzie are going to give a press conference , live . [ scene_break ] alan : yes , if elizabeth found out what i did , mr. foley , she would be very upset with me . as a matter of fact , it would probably cost me a few months of estrangement . cyrus : are you sure about that ? you really want to take that risk ? alan : every man that has been in elizabeth 's life has treated her like hell , including her own father . while i have been her constant . now , sooner or later she realizes that , and she realizes that she needs me . and that is when she comes back to me . am i boring you , mr. foley ? cyrus : it looks like lizzie 's about to make some sort of statement , with bill . producer : 30 seconds until we 're live . okay , they 're sitting about a mile apart from each other . it does n't look like she trusts him to me . do you two want to sit closer ? it looks a little strained . bill : lizzie , you do n't have to do anything you do n't want to . lizzie : of course . i 'm ready . producer : we 're live in five , four , three ... lizzie : hello , i am elizabeth spaulding . bill : and i 'm bill lewis . lizzie : and together we run spaulding / lewis corporation . we appreciate you tuning in today , because after mayor wolfe 's deplorable press conference , where she flat out accused my partner , bill , of kidnapping me . we thought that the citizens of springfield deserve some straight talk . so i am here today to tell you what really happened to me when i was kidnapped . [ scene_break ] ashlee : what 's wrong with lizzie ? she looks a little nervous . daisy : sh - sh - sh . i want to hear this . [ scene_break ] lizzie : it 's time for the truth . and the truth is ... [ scene_break ] alan : i do n't need to waste my time with this . cyrus : hang on . there 's something going on . [ scene_break ] lizzie : bill rescued me . that i know for a fact . and since then , it has been one horrible ordeal after another . we were in a car accident , where bill was critically injured . and when he finally came out of the coma , the police were accusing him of kidnapping me . now , i 'm sure many of you were just as surprised as bill to find out that charges had been filed against him because he was the one who saved my life . he went on the air to make a plea for my safety . how could he be guilty of such a terrible crime ? to do that , he would have to be so manipulative , so cruel ... you all probably wondered , did he love her or not ? and that is a question that needs to be answered . bill : lizzie , tell me what you need ? lizzie : i ca n't do this . bill : i would just like to remind everyone that i have been cleared on all charges by the d.a . 's office , due to lack of evidence . lizzie spaulding , my partner ... she has been amazing through all of this . she 's been under a lot of stress . obviously , it has taken a toll on all of us . thank you for your time . [ scene_break ] ashlee : oh , that was intense . daisy : i do n't understand why ... why is lizzie so upset ? doris must have done something else ? ashlee : okay , do n't look at me . vanessa : it has to be what bill said , the stress , right ? his name has been cleared . daisy : i have to go find them . i have to help them . grady : daisy , we 've got a lot of unpacking to do , you know ? besides , what more can you do ? ashlee : yeah , he 's right . daisy : i can try . is n't that more important ? i can remind him about the accident . i can tell them what bill had said . i do n't know . i have to . i have to tell them that i believe in them . dinah : i 'll follow you . [ scene_break ] cyrus : you do n't want to hear the commentary from the reporter . maybe they know something else . alan : i do n't need to listen to someone explain to me what i just saw . elizabeth does n't believe in bill anymore . what he did or did n't do is unimportant . what is important is she has lost faith in him . [ scene_break ] bill : lizzie ! lizzie ! please do n't go . lizzie : i 'm sorry . i looked at you right in the middle , and i flashed to the scar , and then all of my doubts started coming in and i could n't stop them . and i 'm really , really sorry , okay ? bill : you 're sorry for what ? lizzie , you were trying to help me . look , i 'm the one that should be sorry . i never should have let you do anything . i should have never let you done any of it , from the very beginning . lizzie : what are you saying ? bill : i ca n't go on hurting you like this . lizzie , if i could go back to that very first moment when i realized i could n't remember , i would tell you right then . i thought i was protecting you . but i made everything worse . i made it harder for you to believe in me . having you feel guilty for having your doubts ... that 's the worst thing i could have done to you . well , i mean the worst thing if i did n't ... you know . i ca n't do this to you anymore . you .... you should go home . and i 'll find another place to live , okay ? and i 'll start working with the doctors , and maybe i 'll get my memory back . and maybe i wo n't . but somehow ... i 'm going to get to the truth about what happened to you . i promise . i will . i just do n't want you to suffer through the day to day of it all anymore . lizzie : all right . okay . [ scene_break ] alan : well , i think you 've overstayed your welcome , mr. foley . cyrus : hey , lizzie . alan : elizabeth , i have been worried about you . reporters have been calling , wanting a statement about why you ran off camera . lizzie : ignore them . alan : no , no , no . i ca n't do that . what you did was very public , and they want an answer . lizzie : well , tell them that bill and i broke up . that we 're not together anymore , and that 's what happened . alan : oh , sweetheart , i 'm so sorry . i know you 're in love ... lizzie : please do n't do this , because i know this is a dream come true for you . alan : it 's true i do n't like bill lewis , but i do n't want to see you hurting either . cyrus : i do n't understand . what happened ? lizzie : he finally told me the truth . alan : he admitted that he was guilty ? lizzie : no . that he does n't know . that when he woke up from the coma , he had no memory of the time when i was kidnapped . cyrus : well , just because bill does n't remember , it does n't mean he 's guilty . lizzie : it does n't mean he is innocent , either . cyrus : i 'm really sorry . lizzie : well , you should n't be . this will work out well for you . cyrus : what ? lizzie : i want to hire you again . cyrus : as an investigator ? listen , i could n't find the information that you wanted . maybe it 's time that you hired a professional ... lizzie : i 'm not looking for an investigator . i want you to work with me at spaulding - lewis . i need someone i can trust . [ scene_break ] dinah : hey , bro , what 's up ? daisy : hey , why did lizzie run off like that ? dinah : you okay ? why did n't you call me ? bill : no , i 'm not okay . okay ? and i did n't call you because i did n't want to talk . and lizzie ran off like that because i finally told her the truth . daisy : the truth ? the truth about what ? bill : that i do n't remember if i kidnapped her or not , okay ? daisy : what ? dinah : after bill woke up from the coma , he did n't have any memory about lizzie 's kidnapping . daisy : oh , okay . but that does n't mean you did it ? bill : well , it does n't mean that i did n't do it , okay ? so the best thing for me to do is to walk away . i had to do it . i had to . dinah : okay . you 've had a lot to drink . why do n't you come crash at my place , and we 'll figure out what to do next , okay ? bill : no , i ca n't . and you know what ? you gave me some pretty bad advice , because you are the one who told me not to tell her when i should have told her . i should have told her the truth . dinah : you 're right . okay ? that was my mistake . but i think we should go now . bill : no ! i 'm gon na stay right here . this is my new home , right here . dinah : you 're going to live here , at farley 's ? bill : yup . i 'm going to set up operations . i 'm going to prove that i 'm innocent . so can you please ... because i need to go find a bartender . are you old enough to drink ? because i do n't want to have to call your papa . daisy : no , i 'm not . but , you know , i am old enough to drive . and you 're going to need that when the manager kicks you out . bill : ( laughing ) that 's not going to happen . [ scene_break ] alan : elizabeth , i know it 's been a very difficult day for you , but i think hiring mr. foley is not the answer . now , if you do n't want to believe me , go and talk to your aunt alexandra . ask her if he can be trusted or not . now , what you 've been going through is extremely stressful . i know it has been very painful for you . so why do n't i take you away some place where you can rest , relax , and get past bill . lizzie : tomorrow 's a workday . see you at the office ? cyrus : yeah . sure . brightest stream i 've ever seen covered in red with no room for green means nothing to the passerby but these colors have just changed my life 'cause i 've made my mistakes but you love me the same .

( latin ) _ _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : he who remains silent consents . _ alan : maryanne caruthers has no family left , no one can know what happened that night , not the police , not marah , marina nor michelle . whatever occurred after the car was stolen has nothing to do with us . we do n't know anything about the girl , the bridge , the car , or anything else related to maryanne caruthers . are you willing to risk your families , your futures , your good names ? beware of the guilty mind , gentlemen . guilt is for the weak . we have to risk it all . for our families , our livelihood and ourselves . we stay together until the end . josh : the end may be now . billy : what are you mumbling out there ? josh : ( latin ) billy : what 's that you said ? josh : it 's latin . billy : oh , yeah , i thought alan was the only one who was going to bore us with latin . what does it mean ? josh : i have sinned . marah : are we talking about murder ? if anything this was an accident . carrie : an accident ? or reckless disregard for human life . there are men rotting in jail for less . we all know who caused this accident that resulted in death . michelle : look , we hear what you 're saying , carrie , it 's just really hard to believe . carrie : i know it 's very hard to believe that these good citizens , your fathers and your grandfathers , could do anything like that . but maryanne caruthers is dead . she was prevented from living . marina : yeah , but , uh , how do we know that my grandfather did n't try to save her , or josh or billy or your dad ? michelle , your dad is a doctor , he 's a good doctor ... he would n't just let someone drown . and even alan is n't that bad . carrie : and all these good men have never said anything for 30 years . now i wonder why that is . marah : maybe because it did n't happen the way you said it did . carrie : it happened ! michelle : even if we take your word for it , what are we supposed to do ? carrie : the choice is up to each of you , but be advised : i know how you love and admire these men who brought you up , but they have kept this secret for 30 years . i think you might think that they might have a great deal to lose . _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : slow down , alan . slow down , you ca n't even see . _ ( screaming ) . alan : so we all agree on this story . gus : alan . alan : oh , gus . you startled me . gus : what 's the matter with you , are you all right ? did you not get enough sleep ? alan : no , i 'm getting five , four hours a night for the past 20 years . i will tell you something , though , there 's something that 's kept me up , thinking about that old jaguar of mine that you found . gus : oh , yeah , the one you parked at the bottom of the river 30 years ago . is n't that funny ? i asked you about it and no reaction from you , and ... but all of a sudden , all of a sudden you 're interested . alan : well , i did n't want to let on at the time , but that was one of my favorite cars . besides , when a detective starts to ask me questions , even if it is my son ... i 'm gus : yeah , apt to lie about it . alan : no , just be cautious , that 's all . all right . you caught me , i 'm interested . tell me , how did they find that car anyway ? was the person who stole it inside ? gus : well , i do n't know what you 're hoping for , alan , but the statute of limitations has expired under any kind of theft , you know ? i mean , if there 's something more to it like , uh , i do n't know , like a murder or something , yeah , we could throw the book at somebody . i 'll tell you what , i will get to the bottom of it for you , okay ? consider it one of the perks of having a cop in the family . ( screaming ) frank : hi , pop . i would have , uh , helped you close , but i got , uh , held up on a case , sorry . buzz : anything interesting ? frank : well , if you like spaulding mysteries . buzz : another one ? ca n't that family ever lead a normal life ? frank : i guess not , we just , uh , pulled a car that was licensed to alan spaulding out of the river . buzz : too bad he was n't in it . was he ? frank : come on , pop , that was over 30 years ago . you remember much about that back then ? buzz : oh , lord , why would i ? frank : that 's right ... you were n't around then , were you ? anyway , thought you would find it amusing that alan 's car was on the bottom of a river for about 30 years . buzz : well , one car does n't make a big deal to alan spaulding , now , does it ? was it stolen or something ? frank : well , we do n't know , that 's just the thing , we do n't know if there were fatalities , or any injuries ... the weird thing was , it was n't even reported . buzz : so you have to look into it . josh : billy , sooner or later somebody is going to figure this thing out , we have to tell the truth , we have to do it now . billy : wait , you put your hand in the sacred circle 30 years ago , you did it again tonight , you have an obligation . josh : what about the obligation i have to my family ? billy : oh , come on , you 're taking care of that . do n't you understand ? this is for your kids , look , this guilt controls your life you got ta hold on to it . josh : the other day reva promised to love and support me no matter what , she -- she renewed herself to me , her body and soul to the man she thinks i am and that man is a lie . i -- billy : no , josh , i know who you were and i know who you have become , the man you 've become , he 's a good man , josh . you got ta believe that . josh : i have to believe that if i stay true to the man i 'm meant to be , everything 's gon na be okay . if we confess this thing . it 'll be tough for a while , but we 'll -- billy : wait , wait ! josh , josh , if we 'd been real men 30 years ago , yes , we would have done the right thing , but we did n't . now what are you going to do , walk in , say `` i 'm sorry , i killed somebody 30 years ago ? `` it does n't work like that . do n't kid yourself on this . there 's other people involved , the bauers and the coopers , and , and you think alan spaulding 's gon na just let this go if we rat him out ? no . it 's too late to be the good guys . josh : somebody 's already tipped off marah and the other girls . what difference does it make -- billy : we just put the hammer down and we deal with the girls , josh , no cops , no tearful confessions . marah : i do n't see how i can go to my father and uncle and straight up accuse them of causing maryanne 's death . and why should i ? carrie : because it 's the right thing to do . marah : for who ? for you ? michelle : for maryanne . marina : but you 're asking us to do something that could destroy all our families . carrie : someone is dead , do n't you believe in justice ? michelle : why us ? why did n't you go to the police ? marah : because she 's playing at something else , you chose us for some reason . carrie : yes , i did choose you for a reason , i thought you had some sense of decency . marah : my father is the most decent man i have ever known , and you come in here with some horrible story and you expect me to throw everything i feel about him out the window ? michelle : and my father as well . carrie : oh , yes , your father , the doctor , `` first do no harm , `` you know yourself he has n't been the same man since we went on this little journey for the truth . and why is that , i wonder ? marah : ok , so you 're saying they have something to hide . but maybe they 're just acting weird because what you 're doing is weird . marina : they have been different . i 'm just saying i 've noticed a change . michelle : we all have . okay , maybe getting everything out in the open will clear things up . i mean , whatever happened that night has obviously been weighing on these men for 30 years . carrie : yes , and they 've all moved on with their lives . they had careers , marriages , families , children . but they have never once looked back until i gave them a reason to do it . marah : you ca n't speak for them , you can not say what they have been thinking and feeling for the last 30 years . carrie : and you ca n't say what 's in their hearts . we wo n't meet here again , this museum has become far too dangerous . marina : okay , well , here 's a question . why ? why are we protecting you at all ? why do n't we just bring you to the guys and let you all hash it out ? carrie : a woman is dead . she has been dead and safely buried for 30 years . until i came back and dug her up . what do you think these men might do to me if they ever thought she would not remain safely buried ? marah : you have no clue about my father if you think he would do anything to you . carrie : perhaps . but if you do choose to confront them again , i have another message for them . marah : more love notes . carrie : this time they 're sealed . marina : what about the fifth ? carrie : it 's for alan spaulding . i 'll deliver it myself . marina : okay . here 's what we could use , we could use a why , ' a reason to do this . carrie : you all know the reasons . this is a secret that 's been eating away at these men for 30 years . you have seen the pain that it 's caused . surely you want to help your fathers . michelle : what are you saying in these letters ? carrie : perhaps they 'll choose to share it with you . i hope they will . perhaps it would give them some peace . i wish you all luck . do whatever you think is right . michelle : okay , we 're all thinking the same thing , right ? marah : that we have to go through with this . marina : no matter where it leads or what it costs . michelle : we 're in too deep . we have no other choice . gus : yeah , but did n't you just want to break somebody 's kneecaps who would steal your beautiful car like that or at least trash their credit or something ? alan : ( laughs ) have i ever spent much time telling you about brandon ? gus : yeah , my grandfather . my grandfather . alan : yeah , yeah . well , he was what was known in his day as a corporate raider , and he tried to mold me into that vein . his idea of a world hero was someone who knew exactly what they needed and would do anything they had to to get it . gus : well , you probably have done a few things that you 're not that proud of , right ? but at least my mother saw , you know , you . the real you . alan : yeah , and i 'm grateful she did . gus : i see some of those things in you . you know , the nicer you , the more generous ... you know , i see that . alan : you 've helped me understand that side of me . and , uh , you being by my side while phillip 's been gone has been very special for me , gus . i want you to know that there is nothing that i wo n't do to reward your faith in me . nothing . buzz : will you stop with alan and the car ? i do n't know anything about it . frank : i 'm not saying you did , pop , i just know you like a good mystery . buzz : since when ? especially when it has to do with alan spaulding . come on , frank . frank : what is the matter with you ? darcy : hello , gentlemen . frank : how are you ? darcy : i 'm good . i have a big surprise for you . frank : you do ? darcy : our bed was delivered today . oh , it 's so luxurious , california king . we do n't even have to touch each other , with the down comforter and silk sheets ... my whole life , this is the first time i 've ever been able to see myself staying in the same bed for the next 40 years . frank : only 40 ? ( laughs ) ooh , sorry , pop , a little too mushy for you , buddy ? buzz : i kind of like it , that 's young love .. young - ish . i like seeing you happy . the coopers are finally doing okay . darcy : yes , we are . buzz : ever swing on a star ? marina is in college , doing great with shayne . harley is in a premarital swoon with gus . the whole family 's blissful . all at once . i 'm proud . can i be proud ? frank : you bet you can , pop . buzz : what we 've done with our lives . what we 're doing . your mom would be proud , she 's up there somewhere smiling . she -- am i getting misty ? frank : what is the matter with you , what 's going on ? darcy : frank ... way to ruin a sweet , fatherly moment . buzz : no , he 's just used to my sweet , but cynical take on things . you two . darcy : thanks , buzz . buzz : i 'm going to go outside and spread salt on the steps or something . darcy : he 's such a good man . frank : he 's the best . darcy : no . marina : hey . buzz : hey . you look like your old man was about to slap the cuffs on somebody . marina : i got something for you . buzz : i knew it could n't last . michelle : dad ? this is for you . josh : hi . marah : hi . we need to talk . billy : hi , marah , what 's up ? buzz : i wo n't take it . marina : can you tell me why ? alan : let questions be asked , there are no answers if we remain silent , no one can know what happened that night , not the police , not marah , marina or michelle . josh : i was n't expecting to see you tonight , darling , it 's a pleasant surprise . marah : you 're an awful liar , dad . billy : oh , come on , if your dad says he 's happy to see you , he 's happy to see you . marah : it 's not about that , it 's about the look he got on his face when he saw these . josh : you want me to order you some room service or something like that ? marah : no . actually , uncle billy i 'm glad that you 're here , too . billy : oh , yeah ? why is that ? marah : you guys remember how crazy shayne was about comic books when he was young ? josh : yeah , he still is . marah : you remember he would always want to act out the scenes and he would pick his favorite character and then he 'd want me to pick a character , but i really did n't know much about the comic book world or anything he was interested in back then . but , so i would pick one of you guys , and he would tell me that , um , you guys did n't have super powers . but i did n't care because to me you were heroes . billy : oh , yeah , that reminds me , i left my cape at the cleaners . marah : dad , i do n't know what i would do without you . and you have done so much for me . and put up with a lot from me . josh : marah . marah : and uncle billy , you 've always been larger than life , you know , and you 've always been straight with me and you 've treated me like a person instead a little kid . billy : this sounds like it 's headin ' to some big crash . marah : i guess i just expected you guys to be perfect . and i know that that 's not fair . and right now i just want you to be honest with me . i just want the truth . marina : even the best people can make honest mistakes . buzz : are you about to give me life advice at the ripe old age of 18 ? marina : well , all i 'm saying is that you can make the wrong choice at the wrong time , you can , you can get scared or feel threatened . ed : all right . now listen to me . i do n't know exactly what you 're getting at , but i have an idea . michelle : i 'm not trying to force the issue . ed : yes , you are ! you are forcing the issue , that 's what you 've been doing from the beginning , the only problem is i do n't know what the issue is . michelle : you know , i used to think you were perfect . ed : i 've never pretended to be something i am not . michelle : no , which is why i need to know the truth . josh : the truth about what ? billy : sweetheart , you have to go , we 're in the middle of business . marah : no , i 'm not going . ed : i do n't tell you no ' very often , but i 'm busy today . michelle : i checked your schedule , dad , your shift is over . ed : why are you checking up on me ? buzz : i 'm not sure i like this whole business of you looking deep into my soul for an answer or an admission . marina : i never said that you have to admit anything . you just do n't have to hide anything any more . i know . marah : i know . michelle : i know , dad . i know everything . ed : about what ? michelle : do we really have to do this ? ed : know everything about what ? michelle : october 1977 , the fair , the woman , the accident . billy : where you gettin ' all this stuff ? we do n't know anything about any carnivals . yeah , your dad and i met a lot of women over the years . marah : the drinking , uncle billy ? billy : so this is about me . marah : no , dad was involved , too . billy : involved in what ? marah : powder in the drinks , guys in the car , you , dad . ed bauer , buzz cooper , alan spaulding , and a woman and everyone was having fun , until the car drove off cutter 's bridge . marina : the young woman died that night , her name was ... michelle : maryanne caruthers . she had a full life ahead of her . marah : but it ended that night . and she was forgotten for nearly 30 years . billy : well , that 's nice , but it sounds more like a local legend . marina : you think this is something i just happened to hear around town ? this is a secret that 's been hidden for almost three decades . michelle : maryanne ca n't be forgotten any more , dad . ed : please stop this . michelle : i know what happened . look , i ca n't say that i understand all the torture you must have felt all these years . ed : please , please , these are lies ! these are all lies ! michelle : dad , i want to help you . billy : we do n't need your help because there 's nothing to help with . now , why do n't you understand that ? michelle : i do n't . i do n't understand how you can stand there and deny something that we both know is true . ed : all right . now i 'm going to tell you this for the last time . you mind your own business . michelle : no , this is my business , because i know what you did . ed : you do n't know anything ! buzz : i do n't know who 's been talking to you or what they want . billy : but they 're lying to you , darlin ' . someone who knows your heart knows how compassionate you are . josh : someone 's trying to cause you pain , marah . buzz : who ever this liar is , he knows you 'd do anything to help someone you thought was wronged , but i am telling you that none of this is the truth . michelle : i did n't want to believe it at first . i actually defended you . ed : defended me to whom ? michelle : then i brought up the name maryanne caruthers and the look on your face and the way you 're acting right now . marina : you did n't want anyone to die . i know that , you were young , you were drinking . when the car hit the water you must have been terrified . marah : it must have been horrible . if the water was rising in the car , people were probably yelling , afraid of drowning . michelle : could you even breathe ? could you even think of anything but getting yourself out of there ? i mean , if you had n't nearly died , you would have saved maryanne , if you could . but you swam for shore , thankful to be alive , and then , and then you realized that she was n't there . she was gone . with one stupid horrible moment . ed : this is not my life . michelle : and you must have been wondering all these years if could you have saved her . ed : no . michelle : you must have been wondering if , if you let her die . ed : i told you once , now you shut your mouth ! michelle : no , i wo n't ! because i want to know the truth and i want to hear you say it . ed : i did n't do anything ! i did nothing michelle : oh , dad , say it , tell me ! ed : you are not talking about me , this is not me . michelle : tell me , dad ! dad ! ed : i did nothing ! ( smack ) ed : i never thought i could hit you . michelle : we just fell down a black hole , did n't we ? we can stop . we can all stop if we just help each other . you spent a lifetime saving people , dad . what happened that night ? i just want to understand . ed : michelle , who is spreading these lies ? buzz : someone out there is puttin ' this stuff in your head , i want to know who it is . marina : so you 're not going to answer my questions . buzz : what 's driving me crazy is , they 're taking advantage of your heart , your wonderful huge heart , it 's not fair to you , it 's not fair to who you are . marina : what i want to know , grandpa , is who are you ? billy : first you tell us we 're heroes , then you say we left a woman in a river to drown ? marah : dad , you 've never lied to me . at least i do n't think you have . why are you not saying anything ? billy : marah , he 's got nothing to say , ca n't you see you 're breaking his heart ? i mean , none of this makes any sense . marah : that does n't mean it 's not true . billy : for the last time , we do n't know anybody named maryanne caruthers and frankly we 're getting a little upset that you 're taking somebody else 's word over ours . someone 's turning you against your kin . now , i think you should tell us just exactly who it is . josh : billy . michelle : it does n't matter who told me . ed : because somebody out there obviously hates me , and is trying to poison your mind against me . now , i want you to tell me who it is . buzz : you always told me everything , at least what i could bear to hear . tell me who it is , i 'll make them leave you alone . billy : marah , i 'm not going to baby you like your daddy does , especially when you 're not showing us a shred of respect . now , if you 're not going to tell us who 's got you all twisted up , then maybe you better just leave . josh : i 'm sorry . marah : this is not over , dad . and we both know that it 's not going away . gus : i 'm going to get in touch with frank down at the station , see if i can get a break on this car . alan : you do n't have to do that , do n't bother yourself with that , gus . gus : it 's no bother . this for you ? whoa , smell the perfume on this thing . hey , is this from a lady friend ? come to think of it , i never have seen you even holding a lady 's hand or a date or anything , maybe you got a new love interest you 're not telling me . i 'm prying , sorry , should n't pry . good enough . marina : this is for you . billy : what are these ? marah : i think you know . i want to hear your side , dad . and i will never judge you . you taught me to be fair , and i will try and do that . michelle : what you do with this letter is up to you . but you should know that someone was there , sad , and they saw everything . the crash , the scramble to shore , the five of you leaving the scene . i just came to deliver this , and now you have it . marina : i love you . good luck . billy : josh , hey , what are you going to tell her ? josh : i do n't know . does n't matter , she 's never going to trust me again , she 's never gon na believe in me again . billy : well , to save the world as you know it , that 's the price you may have to pay . ed : excuse me . carrie : now you will know . now you will all know what has always been true . alan : next on guiding light ... cassie : that little girl was taken away from you , olivia , through no fault of your own . olivia : i ca n't . i ca n't . thank you , i 'm sorry . shayne : you guys are n't going believe this . reva : why , what is it , what 's wrong ? shane : it 's what 's right , i can feel something in my legs . buzz : it is n't how much the kids are going to find out about , the question is how soon are they going to be able to prove it .

( all talking ) josh : just stop ! stop ! stop ! listen to yourselves ! we 're all so worried about what 's going to happen to us . are we going to go to jail ? are we going to get through this thing alive ? what about ... what about the girls , huh ? what about your daughter , ed ? what about marina ? somebody has dragged them into this mess with us . does n't that bother any of you ? have you thought about it for a minute ? what does this person ... this person want with them ? reva : hi . marina : hey . shayne 's downstairs . sandy : we heard . marina : what 's wrong ? reva : oh , nothing . nothing . just wondering what kind of program you had planned for shayne . marina : oh . ( laughs ) it actually is shayne 's from the all - star game last summer . he must have had it with his stuff when he checked in . i just found it so ... that game seems like a million years ago . reva : did you happen to see him before he went down for his test ? marina : no . and i could n't find anyone to tell me how he 's doing . shayne : rick , i 'm not kidding . i 'm not kidding . sandy : is that shayne ? reva : certainly sounds like him . yeah , that 's him . shayne : hey , you guys are n't going to believe this . reva : why ? what is it ? what 's wrong ? shayne : no , it 's what 's right . i could feel something in my legs . reva and marina : what ? ! shayne : it just started . rick : coming up on the elevator . shayne : yeah , i ... i got a ... i had this feeling . i did n't know what it was and ... and ... like right there , right there . i could feel it . it 's stronger . it feels stronger . marina : shayne , that 's great . rick : shayne ... shayne : i think i can move it . i think i can ... marina : this is amazing . reva : honey ... shayne : hold on . i can . i can . i can feel it moving . okay . they were moving . i felt it . i felt it . rick : shayne , shayne . it 's okay . shayne : what do you mean , it 's okay ? i could ... i felt my leg moving . i feel them right now . look , nothing 's happening . nothing ! reva : that does n't mean that nothing will . rick : she 's right . she 's right , shayne . shayne : who are you kidding ? reva : shayne . rick : the brain can play tricks on us . shayne : yeah , yeah , mine 's telling me i can walk . i ca n't . reva : you know that you did n't not have this operation in order to walk again . rick : it was performed to remove a dangerous seroma , which it did . so the truth is , the operation was a success . reva : and the walking was just supposed to be a possible side effect . the doctors told you that going in . rick : right . and the jury 's still out as far what may happen for you , shayne . marina : yeah , you ca n't expect too much too fast . sandy : you 're doing great , though . shayne : i feel like an idiot . i really thought something was going . can we ... you think we could just ... reva : get ... get you back into bed ? of course . rick : sure . reva : and you know what i 'm going to do is tell you about what happened on my show today , because that ought to put you right to sleep . ( laughs ) marina : you know what ? i think i 'm going to be out in the hall . reva : okay . sandy : hey , it 'll be all right , man . you 're the toughest guy i know . hang in . you okay , marina ? marina : do i look okay ? sandy : nobody looks too good right now . alan : there are ways to manage this . josh : alan , whatever we do may protect us , but what about them ? what about the girls ? billy : josh . the girls are going to be fine . josh : you do n't know that . how could you even assume that ? if marina and michelle are anything at all like my daughter , they 're already obsessed with this story , with maryanne caruthers and what we did to her . and they 're not going to let it go . alan : we did n't do anything to her . it was an accident , josh . josh : oh , come on . ed : that we set up . buzz : that he set up . billy : no , no , no . we 're all in this together . alan : oh , yeah , it 's my fault . josh : and they 're in it with us ! this thing is tearing us apart . it could very easily tear them apart . marah came to billy and me with these notes , and she told us the story . they know the story . but she wanted to hear my side . she wanted to give me the benefit of the doubt , the chance to tell the truth . she told me she would n't pass judgment on me . and i believe her . when she found out that i was responsible for shayne 's accident , she did n't turn her back on me , not for one minute . buzz , if you tell marina the truth , will she forgive you ? buzz : i 'd like to think so . but i 'm not sure . josh : and what about michelle , ed ? ed : forgiveness ? too late for that . i hit her . josh : you what ? buzz : what ? ed : what ? she kept pushing me and pushing me . so yesterday she pushed me too far , and i slapped her across the face . josh : you said we did what we did to protect the future . is that what you had in mind ? billy : let me ask you a question . just how much worse are you prepared for this to get ? alan : look , we did what we had to do that terrible night in all of our lives that none of us wanted , josh . we ca n't roll the clock back . we ca n't change anything . what 's in the past is in the past . but we took an oath that night to move on from there . ed : to protect ourselves . alan : and now our families , the people we love . that why we have to stay the course . josh : the girls already know the facts . alan : unproven facts . facts that we only know are accurate . buzz : us and whoever 's feeding the girls this information . alan : yes . and that is the key . we have got to find this person so that he will start spreading this harm . josh : how are we supposed to do that ? alan : i suggest that we get as many private investigators as we need to follow the girls , so that they will lead us to him . ed : and then what ? i mean , suppose we find mr. x , right ? what do we do then ? we go up to him and say , please stop doing what you 're doing ? ' or do you have something else in mind ? olivia : you know what , cassie ? believe it or not , i 'm okay . i am . i 'm okay . cassie : i can help you . i have the same ache that you do . olivia : really ? after all these years ? cassie : yeah . it still been all these years without my little boy . and there 's still a space where he should be . olivia : can we ... can we do this another time ? would you mind ? cassie : i know you just ... you just want to run away from it all . olivia : no , i just think i really need to be alone right now . cassie : okay , fine . but ... i understand what you 're going through . i do . but do n't fall into a trap , okay ? because one afternoon is going to turn into two , and two afternoons is going to turn into a week . and you 're going to cut yourself off from everyone . and do n't do that , okay ? but you 're never going to stop thinking about that little girl . and there 's mourning and there 's guilt . but that little girl was taken away from you , olivia , through no fault of your own . olivia : i just do n't think i can do much more of this , cassie . cassie : and the same thing happened to mine . olivia : i ca n't . i ca n't . thank you so much . edmund : cassie ... cassie : no , edmund , look ... you know , i did n't mean any of that . it had nothing to do with you . it was n't about you , okay ? edmund : cassie , you lost your son . going over whose fault that was ... cassie : i 'm not going over whose fault . okay , i 'm not . look i have a lot to do . excuse me . marina : hey . is he asleep ? reva : no . actually , sandy 's in with him right now . pretty frustrating day , huh ? marina : yeah . i know . i feel so bad that shayne was so let down . reva : i think we were all a little let down . it 's not a crime to admit that . marina : right . there 's no crime . reva : you know , marina , this is going to be rough for everyone who loves shayne . and it 's going to be like this for at least a little while longer . marina : i know . and i can handle it if that 's what you 're getting at . i 'm sorry . i guess i 'm really not handling it that well . reva : i saw the look on your face when shayne did n't move his legs . marina : i just want him to walk so badly . reva : i know . marina : i do n't know . i tried to not be like one of those `` me - me `` girls . you know , the kind , they freak out if they break a nail . they get everything handed to them . reva : you are definitely not a `` me - me `` girl . marina : i just want to know that it 's possible for things to work out . that they do go right sometimes . reva : is there something else wrong , marina ? i mean , if there 's another problem that you want to talk about , i 'm here . marina : no . no . all i can really think about is shayne right now . sandy : so then mole says , `` if you lovebirds get any closer , you 're going to have share underwear . unless you already do . `` shayne , have i ever told you the story of the buddy i had growing up , the surfer ? shayne : no . sandy : well , this was his ride after a 20-foot wave broke the wrong way . still is . shayne : is this supposed to cheer me up ? sandy : there 's a point . shayne : what ? what ? that life sucks . sandy : just ... just listen . all right ? here was this guy trying to wrap his head around the fact that he was going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair . and meanwhile , his family , who had always expected him to be the can - do kid , pretty much fell apart . shayne : it 's a fun story so far . sandy : well , they could n't handle having someone they needed to be strong be a paraplegic . and they kept looking to him to somehow make it all okay for them -- as if he did n't have enough to deal with already . shayne : what happened ? sandy : well , he took it all on himself . he spent hours , days trying to help his family understand and get a grip . have them understand that this is how it was going to be from now on . and it completely stressed him out , but he did it anyway . you know why ? because he said it was his obligation . shayne : what are you ... is there a point to this story ? sandy : there is a point . you know what the point is ? the point is sometimes you got to put yourself first and let everyone else figure out for themselves how to cope , man . if my friend had known that , he could have saved himself a whole lot of grief . shayne : yeah , well , he just did n't want to let anybody down . sandy : yeah . but there are limits . and if you do n't set them , you 'll get pulled in a million different ways . shayne : no . it wo n't . it 's not going to happen to me . ed : you have n't answered my question . alan : we have n't found our man , yet . but once we do , ed , we 'll know what action will be appropriate . buzz : now you 're going to have a gang of pis shadow the girls and lead us to whoever this person is . alan : yes , as soon as possible . billy : wait , man . you 're getting a whole bunch of people involved in this . you 're never going to keep it quiet . buzz : so what if something screws up when they make contact , and the girls get hurt or worse ? alan : i can assure that everything will be kept under control . ed : you ca n't guarantee anything , alan ! billy : you know , alan , i think this is a bad idea ... bad idea . at least for right now . alan : well , do you have a better idea ? or do you want ... josh : yeah , i have a better idea . i have a better idea . we talk to the girls . we see if we can get the information out of them who this person is . if not , then we 'll follow them . alan : all right , all right . i 'll hold off the investigator for now . but we have got to find this person immediately . one way or another . buzz : well , knowing alan the way i do , he 's going to hire the pis anyway behind our backs . billy : oh , no , no . no , he wo n't do anything as long as we just hang in there and hang in tough . ed : protect each other . billy : what else are we going to do ? we ca n't go to the cops . ca n't go to the kids . now , you proved that to yourself today . when pressed , you 'd rather hit michelle than for us to take a hit . buzz : wow , you really have a word with words , you know , billy ? josh : see you later . billy : hey , josh , josh . josh ! josh : you know what ? i 've had it . i 've had it with the secrets . i 've had it with the lies . billy : okay , look , maybe ... maybe you should just come hang out with me till you cool down . josh : i do n't want to be around people right now . not the way i feel . i want to go back to my room , i want to be alone , i want to get as far away from this as i possibly can . billy : okay . well , all right . i 'll just come back with you until ... josh : i want to be alone . until this feeling that i have to do the right thing passes by . you want to ... you want to know what i do n't get here , billy ? billy : what ? josh : why do n't you feel the same way i do ? a woman is dead . we 're sitting on the truth , and you 're okay with that . you think it 's the only thing to do . we really are very different . frank : hey , kiddo . marina : hey , how 'd you find me ? frank : well , i tried you on your cell phone and no answers . so i decided to take a shot . how 's shayne ? honey , what happened ? marina : nothing . nothing happened . he 's okay . sort of . it 's just ... i do n't know . it 's a really tough time right now , you know . he 's inpatient . and i think he feels frustrated . and i feel like there 's nothing i can do to help him . frank : well , you 're doing everything you can do . i mean , he 's a very lucky guy and i think he knows that . marina : honestly , i think sometimes he just wishes i go away . you know , i think ... i think i make him feel guilty , like he 's keeping me from having a life . frank : well ... marina : dad . frank : sweetheart , i 'm totally getting the impression that you are carrying the entire weight of the world on your shoulders . i really ca n't even remember the last time i saw you smile . besides , your mom and i , well ... marina : you talked to mom ? frank : yeah , i did . she 's a little concerned about you . she has n't heard from you . you know , you 're supposed to call her every sunday ? well , you 've missed two in a row . marina : yeah , i do n't think mom really understands what it 's like to put someone else first . frank : i think that 's a little harsh . marina : is it ? frank : yes . and i also think that there 's something else going on besides what 's happening with shayne right now . and i would really like to help you . marina : i wish that you could . frank : then let me . marina : daddy ... no . just not here . just not right now , okay ? frank : marina , it 's not healthy to keep things bottled up inside . you 've got to get it out , okay ? now , whether you tell me or aunt harley or your grandfather , you 're never going to figure out something . you 're never going to resolve anything if you do n't get it out or keep something a secret . ( beeper beeps ) frank : i 've got to get to the station . well , at least i got to see that pretty , little face , right ? tell everybody i said hello . ' and if i have some free time then i 'll come back and see shayne , all right ? marina : yeah . uh , dad , thanks . you really do help . frank : you 're my little girl . ( knock at the door ) edmund : cassie ? cassie : it 's open . you know , i do n't think i 'm going to be able to do lunch , because i have so much more work up here than i thought i had . so it 's going to have to wait . edmund : cassie , we 're not going to have lunch . and you 're not going to work . we 're going to sit down here and we 're going to talk about the child you lost in san cristobel . cassie : we 've already had this discussion . edmund : but we need to have it again . cassie : this is silly . edmund : is this ? cassie : look , i 'm just upset for olivia . that 's all . edmund : cassie , you 're right . look at me . look at me , cassie . you 're right . we 've talked about this before , but not very well , and clearly not enough , because it 's still an issue . this is an issue , is n't it ? reva : okay , so now listen to me . i 've scheduled an appointment with a specialist for later today , and hopefully he 'll be able to tell us a little bit more about what 's going on with you and then we can ... shayne : yeah , mom , can ... if i look good to you it must be the lights , 'cause i 'm a little shot . can we do this later ? reva : oh . okay . that 's fine . i 'll just get out of your hair . sandy : yeah , i 'll go , too . reva : see you , sweetie . shayne : marina , stay for a second . sandy : this is tough , watching him go through this . reva : all this family stuff is kind of painful , huh ? sandy : i wish i could help . reva : you know , in a funny way , i think you do . shayne likes having another brother . nico : hey . reva : hi , nico . nico : how 's shayne doing ? reva : he 's tired . nico : did something happen ? sandy : you know what ? i 'm going to go . i 'll check in later . reva : oh , okay . sandy , thanks . nico : is everything okay , mrs. lewis ? reva : yeah , yeah , nico . everything 's fine . but can you do me a favor ? tell marina that i had to go to work for a little bit . thanks . nico : sure . no problem . marina : i thought you wanted to sleep . shayne : i need to say something to you . marina : about ? shayne : about getting used to the way that things are . josh : yes , this is joshua lewis in the cumberland suite . please hold all my calls until further notice . yes , all of them . especially if billy lewis calls . if he insists on being put through , you tell him i 'm not to be disturbed . thank you . bartender : something i can get you , mr. lewis ? christopher : oh , sorry . sorry . olivia : i 'm sorry . christopher : no , here . let me . let me . olivia : no , let go . i guess you caught me . christopher : caught you doing what ? olivia : returning some gifts from my baby shower . i just figured it 's time , you know . it 's time to let go and get on with things . the past is the past , right ? edmund : cassie , every time i bring up the accident , you slough it off . you claim it 's a non - issue , or you change the subject . cassie : are n't you happy ? i mean , are n't we happy here ? edmund : which is exactly why we have to get to the heart of it , because we are happy . cassie : that does n't make any sense . edmund : cassie . cassie , we love each other . right now we 're in the first flush of that realization . but the fact remains , your baby died and i was a part of it . cassie : i never denied that , edmund . edmund : i know . i know . but the question ... cassie , cassie ! the question is whether you have fully acknowledged your feelings about it , and i do n't think you have . as long as that bitterness , that anger , that ... whatever it is stays inside of you , it festers . it grows . and believe me , i know how corrosive those feelings can be . and it will destroy us , cassie . it will . not today , not tomorrow , but someday . and there is no doubt about that . cassie : you know why i ca n't do this , why i keep those feelings buried ? if we get to the heart of it , edmund , and i let those feelings out , i ca n't promise you that i can put them away again . marina : about getting used to the way what things are ? shayne : the way things are going to be for you and me if this does n't work out , if i do n't walk again . look , i know what i felt today . i know what i felt . there 's nothing . marina : okay . i hate it when you do this . shayne : this is not the worst thing that can happen . marina : but i hate it when you get it all calm and resigned to your fate . okay , so please do n't do this right now , do n't do this to us . shayne : to us ? i 'm the one laying here in the bed . marina : no , us . we are both in this thing together . yeah , i want you to be ticked off . you know what ? i want you to be so angry that the anger alone is going to get you up out of that chair . shayne : you 're just dreaming . marina : yeah , you 're damn right i am . i want you to be the guy on this tape again . i need you to be . shayne : it might not happen . marina : i did n't fall in love with a quitter . i fell in love with a guy who is going to keep pushing , who is going to never give up . so why do n't you look at yourself before you decide how this thing is going to turn out ? butch : buzz , my man . buzz : butch . what ? the bike 's ready ? i did n't expect you for another week . butch : i work fast on the sweet rides . buzz : well , i guess you 're going to want a check , huh ? butch : i 'd say take it out for a spin , but i do n't know if i 'd ever see you again . that baby is primed for some serious cruising . ( phone rings ) ed : dr. bauer . what ? no , i ca n't ... i ca n't come in right now . i 've got to ... i know you 're short - staffed , but look , i ... try someone else . have you tried ... talked to doctor ... oh , fine . i 'll be there . i 'll be there . olivia : you know , you 're slipping . you 're looking at me like a shrink instead of a friend . christopher : i 'd be concerned no matter which hat i was wearing . we can talk if you 'd like . olivia : no . you know what ? i think i 've kind of od 'd on talking about this today . christopher : this ? olivia : this . i wanted ... i wanted to tell you that i really enjoyed having dinner with you . christopher : so did i . you seemed a little more relaxed . olivia : that 's very observant . christopher : ( laughs ) olivia : listen , can i ask you a favor ? christopher : sure . go ahead . olivia : could you give me a heads up if it looks like lizzie 's going to come after me again ? christopher : ( sighs ) olivia ... olivia : i know . i know . i know she 's your patient . and i know that there are ethics involved . it 's just that you warned me the night that she put that doll 's head in my baby crib . and that 's all i 'm asking for now . christopher : has lizzie made another threat ? olivia : new year 's eve . it was veiled , but it was very real . right now she needs me to help her father get well , but once that happens , who knows what she 's liable to do ? christopher : come on . bartender : mr. lewis . billy : i ... have n't decided yet . ( knock at the door ) woman : room service . josh : i did n't order any room service . ( knocking continues ) shayne : next on guiding light ... reva : please , do n't say no ' to any of this . to this stuff , to me , because i really do n't think i can handle another disappointment today . rick : did danny hit you in the face ? michelle : no . why would you even think that ? rick : well , if it was n't danny , who the hell hit you in the face ? michelle : okay , it was dad . all right , dad . dad hit me . cassie : i was pregnant , for god 's sake . i had a life growing inside of me . and did you care ? no ! because you hunted me through the jungle like i was some kind of animal .

' please do n't say to no ' to any of this . to this stuff , to me , because i really do n't think i can handle another disappointment today . rick : hey . michelle : hey . rick : run another serum calcium on mr. goldwin in room 12 . and just check those levels later on for me . michelle : sure , sure . right away . rick : hey . what 's going on with your face ? michelle : hmm ? rick : how 'd you get that bruise on your face ? michelle : what , this ? oh , please , it 's nothing . rick : no , no , i 'll be the judge of that , young lady . michelle : no , rick , it 's really nothing . rick : come here under the lights so i can take a look at this . this looks like somebody punched you in the face about 24 hours ago . michelle : a homeless patient was admitted last night and he was schizophrenic , he was off his meds . i guess he saw me coming towards him in my white coat and i just ... rick : you 're lying . try again . michelle : excuse me ? i 'm not lying . rick : michelle , you 're lying . you 're biting your bottom lip , you 've done it ever since you were seven - years - old . so let 's try again . how did you get the bruise on your face ? the truth this time . michelle : i just told you . i just told you . why would i lie ? rick : that 's what i 'm trying to find -- michelle : who else would possibly hit me ? rick : well , that 's what i 'm trying to find out . did ... did danny hit you in the face ? michelle : no . why would you even think that ? rick : well , if it was n't danny , who the hell hit you in the face ? michelle : okay , it was dad . all right , dad . dad hit me . cassie : if i start talking about what happened ... edmund : about how you lost the baby . cassie : ... i 'm afraid i 'm going to say something that i ca n't take back . losing a baby is n't something you just get over . edmund : that 's my point exactly . cassie : but i do n't blame you , edmund . you know , i 'm like over that , okay ? edmund : no , you 're not . because if you were , cassie , you would n't be so hell- bent on avoiding the subject entirely . you 'd express your feelings to me , share them with the man you love . because you love me , right , cassie ? cassie : yes , edmund , i do , and that 's why i do n't need to do this . okay ? edmund : cassie , do n't think this is going to go away , because it 's not . it 's going to crop up again and again until it tears us apart . i mean , is that what you want , cassie ? cassie : no . i just want some air right now . edmund : no , cassie . is that what you want ? cassie : edmund , please stop ! i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to do that . i ... edmund : yes . yes , you did . you did , cassie . because as much as you may love me , you hate me , too . that 's why we have to face this . cassie , we have to confront what happened to you and your baby that night -- we have to -- and the part i played in it . rick : excuse me . excuse me . why would dad hit you ? michelle : look , it was n't his fault , rick , okay ? i provoked him . you know how stressed he 's been and i was questioning him about something that was very personal and painful . rick : did you ask him if he was drinking again ? michelle : that was ... that was part of it , and he denied it . rick : uh - huh . and you did n't believe him , right ? michelle : i just ... i thought that he was hiding something from me so i kept digging at him , just way past where i should have , and he just could n't take it anymore . rick : michelle . michelle , sweetie , listen to me . i do n't care how much you got him upset , okay ? under no circumstances -- listen to me -- under no circumstances is our father allowed to hit you in the face . do you understand ? michelle : rick , look , he 's really upset about it , okay ? he is . and we 're over it . the whole thing is behind us . rick : no , we 're not going to do that . michelle : yes , rick . rick : we 're not . michelle : and you have to forget that we even had this discussion . rick : i ca n't do that , michelle . if we make excuses for him now , what is he going to do next ? michelle : rick , you 're not listening to me . there were extenuating circumstances . rick : there 's always extenuating circumstances for alcoholics , always excuses . that 's why they keep on drinking . michelle : he 's not drinking again . rick : something 's going on . so the three of us are going to sit down and we 're going to do deal with this today . michelle : no , rick . no , no . it 's going to only make things worse . please . rick : okay , fine . then what are we going to do , michelle ? michelle : i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i just have to think about it , okay ? and while i 'm thinking , you have to promise me something . rick : sorry , i do n't know if i can do that . michelle : rick , you have to promise me that you wo n't say anything to danny about this . danny can not know that dad did this to me . ross : ladies and gentlemen , i have lived and practiced law in springfield for over 20 years and each year , i have done extensive pro bono work for the courts and i currently serve on the board of several local charities . bill : laying it on thick , are n't we , ross ? ross : because of that , i have a greater understanding of the needs and concerns of all of our citizens , and i have the knowledge and the experience to make sure that those concerns will be heard . now , over the years , three times you have elected me to serve as your district attorney and i served each term with great pride . and i 'm honored to say that springfield overwhelmingly voted for me when i ran for the united states senate . ( cheers and applause ) bill : wow . one lousy senate race where you won and you gave up your seat . danny : ( sighs ) ross : it is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that i officially announce my candidacy for mayor of the great city of springfield . ( cheers and applause ) danny : look who 's standing to the left of ross : daggert and hodge . bill : those snakes . they said they were going to endorse you . danny : yeah , they said maybe . obviously they changed their minds . i 've seen enough . you know , daggert and hodge practically control the chamber of commerce . that 's a whole lot of support swinging towards ross . bill : danny , who cares ? that makes our job a little harder . big deal . danny : bill ... thank you . ross has friends on the state level , too . bill : well , you know what ? you 've got friends on the street and that , my friend , is where the voters are . danny : yeah . bill , listen . i really appreciate the loyalty that you 've shown . you 've been great . but if you want to bail out , now 's the time to say so , no hard feelings . bill : now , why would i do that ? danny : ( sighs ) well , for one thing , unlike me , you actually have a reputation to uphold . your last name commands some respect in this town . reva : well , i never . but there 's a first time for everything . come on . come on . ooh . ooh , this is so comfy . well , it 's a start . popcorn ? edmund : i had you under house arrest , you were in your suite . you managed to escape . i sent the guards out after you , but you got off the palace grounds , you made it down to the old beach road . cassie : it 's over , edmund . i do n't want to relive this . edmund : cassie , richard and noah and reva were waiting for you in the car , but they had no idea that my men were chasing you . come on . were you scared ? cassie , you must have been scared . cassie : okay , i was scared , edmund ! i was scared ! are you happy now ? edmund : were you scared of me ? cassie : i was scared of what you were capable of ! edmund : it 's the same thing . it 's the same thing , cassie . you and reva got into the car . you got behind the wheel . what were you thinking ? what were you thinking that exact moment ? cassie : that i have to get away . i had to get away . edmund : cassie ? cassie : i ca n't do this . edmund : you have to do this , cassie . we have to do this . please . cassie : why ? because it 's going to make you feel better ? you 're going to unload some guilt ? because this is about you and what you want , and you did n't give a damn about me back then , and you still do n't now . i was pregnant , for god 's sake . i had a life growing inside of me , and did you care ? no ! because you hunted me through the jungle like i was some kind of animal . edmund : yes , i did . bill : are you calling me a quitter , danny ? danny : no , bill , i 'm not calling you a quitter . bill : do you think i 'm afraid of a fight ? yes , ross marler will be a tough opponent , but all that means is the taste of victory will be that much sweeter when we do . danny : you mean if ' we do . bill : no , i mean when ' we do . now , come on , danny . you know that i have a personal stake in getting you elected . it 's , like , a pride thing for me . i have something to prove to my uncle josh and my dad that i can be a player on my own terms . danny : and eden , too . bill : sure . it never hurts to impress the girlfriend . but mostly , you want to know the real reason why i 've been working my butt off 24/7 for you ? because i think you 're going to make a fine mayor and together we can do a lot of good in this town -- at least that 's what i thought until you started talking like a wimp , like , `` i do n't know if i can win this campaign , because people are n't ... `` unless , of course , this whole thing has been a test . danny : maybe . bill : maybe ? danny : maybe . maybe . bill : yeah , well , if it is a test , did i pass ? can we get back to business ? danny : bill , i just need to make sure that your heart 's really in this , because it 's going to take everything we 've got and then some , if we 're going to beat ross marler . bill : well , whatever it takes , i am there . danny : okay , then . let the games begin . michelle : if danny knew about this , he 'd want to confront dad right away and he 'd just make things worse . rick : all right , i 'm not going to talk to danny , but i am going to talk to dad . not just about slapping you in the face , michelle , which is bad enough as it is . he 's been acting strange since long before the holidays , so we need to take care of this , we need to address it right now . i mean , michelle , we 're doctors . we hold people 's lives in our hands . we ca n't afford for dad to screw up . michelle : i know that , okay ? ( sighs ) i know . rick : what do you know ? what do you know ? michelle : look , the other day , dad almost gave shayne lewis the wrong meds . they were just pain meds , so it would n't have had an adverse effect . rick : that 's it , i 'm talking to him . i have to talk to him right now . michelle : okay , look , rick , just please ... just do n't mention this . just keep it on a professional level , okay ? rick : i 'm going to say what i have to say to get through to him . michelle : rick , do n't be hard on him . i 'm telling you , he 's in a lot of pain right now . rick : michelle , is there something you 're not telling me ? michelle : no ! rick : are you sure ? michelle : he 's just ... he 's just hurting , that 's all . rick : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . you 're upset , you 've been through a lot . i want you to go home . your schedule 's ... michelle : no , i do n't need ... rick : i want you to ... michelle : i 'm fine . rick : i want you to take care of yourself . why do n't you go home and take it easy . i want you to stay away from dad for right now until we figure this thing out . okay ? michelle : okay . rick : all right . michelle : okay , but rick , you 've got to promise me about dad . rick : i love him too , michelle . i just want to help him . michelle : okay . rick : okay ? michelle : okay . rick : all right . nurse : dr. bauer ? sorry . in here , please . the emts brought her in . she fell through the ice on the river . it took 25 minutes to get her out . she lost consciousness on the way here . she 's got shallow , bilateral breath sounds with some wheezing at the bottom . bp is 85 over 50 . pulse is 45 . temperature is 32-point ... dr. bauer , she 's hypothermic . we have to bring up her core temp . i 'm just going to go to external warming -- if that 's okay ? dr. bauer ? dr. bauer ? reva : okay , so what 's the verdict ? something outrageously funny or outrageously scary or outrageously steamy ? ( laughs ) josh : why do n't you choose ? reva : you sure ? josh : yeah . like i said , i 'm very tired right now . i do n't know that i really care . reva : you know , i 'm a little tired , too . now , see ? this is much better than a movie . josh : yes , it is . so , um , are you going to go back to the hospital later and be with shayne ? reva : i do n't think so . he made it pretty clear that he needed some time alone . and i do n't want to push him . i do n't want to give him a whole lot of room , either . josh : it must be difficult for you , seeing him so ... reva : depressed . because that 's what it is , he 's depressed . not that he does n't have reason to be . josh : he 's always been so positive about everything in his life . but he 'll be okay . he 's just a little disheartened . he 'll bounce back . he always does . what is it ? reva : maybe that 's what i saw . josh : you saw when ? reva : the other day at the hospital , i had a vision or a whatever . and i thought i was seeing shayne , but then it turned out to be you , and i 'm thinking maybe i replaced you with him because of the burden that you 've been carrying since shayne 's accident , emotionally . josh : what exactly did you see ? reva : swirling water . someone drowning . edmund : come on , cassie . keep going . cassie : no , edmund . edmund : all right . if you wo n't , i will . i was furious that you 'd gotten out of the palace , i was furious that you escaped , so i went after you with my men . not to harm you , but to bring you back -- to bring you back . edmund : i have a roadblock in place . all right , they 're coming . they 're heading straight for us . be careful , i do n't want any mishaps . edmund : not that my intentions matter at this juncture -- nor should they ; the end result is still the same -- but the important thing , cassie , is that you thought i would do you harm and i had never given you any reason to think otherwise . cassie : you were ... you were waving your arms , edmund . edmund : to get you to stop . cassie : yes . but your men , they had guns in their hands . edmund : yes , they did . cassie : and they were pointed at us . edmund : you had no reason to think anything other than the worst of me , cassie . but still , to me -- to me -- i could n't believe that you would n't stop . i had no idea that you were that scared of me , that you were that desperate , that ... cassie : why ? edmund : why ? why did i do such a selfish , disgusting thing ? because ... cassie : why was i in the car , edmund ? why was i driving the car ? edmund : what ? cassie : you said yourself that you did n't want to hurt me and you were trying to get me to slow down , and then after the crash ... ... you risked your own life to save me . i would have died in that accident if it were n't for you . edmund : cassie , no . cassie : and then you made sure reva and i were rushed to the hospital . edmund : cassie ... cassie : it was n't your fault , edmund . edmund : yes , it was my fault . cassie : all the time , i have been blaming you , but it was n't your fault . edmund : cassie ... cassie , you 're looking at this whole thing all wrong . cassie : no , i 'm not ! edmund , look . i was eight months pregnant and i climbed out of the window in the palace . i was running through the jungle from palace guards . edmund : cassie , i sent them after you . cassie : did you tell me to get behind the wheel , edmund ? did you ? did you make me drive the car ? why did n't i let reva drive the car if i was so concerned about my child ? i was driving 70 miles an hour and i looked up and i saw the roadblock and i saw these guns pointed at me and i just freaked ! edmund : cassie , do n't do this to yourself . please , it 's not ... cassie : no , because if you want to get to the truth , then let 's get to the truth ! i am responsible for my baby boy being dead . i am just as responsible as you are . edmund : cassie , darling , please . please , just listen . cassie : why did n't i stop the car ? why did n't i stop the car , edmund ? i mean , if i would have , my baby would have been alive right now . i loved him so much and it was my job to protect him , and if i would have done what i should have done ... edmund : cassie , please , please , do n't do this to yourself . please ... i beg you , cassie , do n't . just stop . just , please , listen to me . listen to me , listen to me . you did n't do anything . you did n't do anything except react with stress and fear to events that i set in motion . cassie : oh , but edmund ... edmund : cassie , listen to me . listen to me . you did n't do anything . it was my fault . i did it . everything was my fault . you ca n't turn this around and let me off the hook , cassie , you ca n't . because i did it . you have to let me accept the blame . please , cassie , just let me accept the blame . nurse : dr. bauer , her bp is dropping . she 's going to go into arrest . can you get me some help here , please ? rick : i 'll take care of this . nurse : oh , thank god . rick : what have you got ? nurse : near drowning victim . she 's hypotensive and bradycardic . rick : temp ? nurse : 31.2 . rick : tympanic ? nurse : yes . rick : all right . can she breathe by herself ? nurse : yeah . rick : any other visible injuries ? nurse : no . rick : all right , i want you to call respiratory inhalation , rewarming , warming at 150 per hour , do the usual admitting bloods -- abg and serum k. notify the icu right away . nurse : you want to prep for a warm gastric lavage ? rick : no , let 's just keep with the warm blanket , all right ? i want you to monitor her core temperature , okay ? nurse : okay . rick : all right , what just happened there ? are you all right ? ed : uh ... i 'm not feeling very well . maybe you could cover for me . rick : i 'll cover for you right now , but that 's where it ends . i do n't know what 's going on with you and i have n't pried , but when whatever 's going on with you interferes with your judgment and puts people 's lives on the line , that 's where i draw the line . ed : i just told you , i 'm not feeling very well . rick : physically ? what else is going on with you , dad ? ed : i do n't want to talk about it . rick : no , we are going to talk about it . first , you have my compromise my principles by running a fingerprint test for you . and then you almost give somebody the wrong meds , and then you hit michelle in the face . what the hell is wrong with you ? reva : what is it ? what 's wrong ? you look like you just saw a ghost . josh : it just ... it freaks me out , that 's all . you just said you saw a vision of me drowning . reva : well , yeah , but it was n't literal . josh : are you sure about that ? reva : well , i ... the more i think about it , the more i really think it 's just a metaphor . josh : maybe . ( laughs nervously ) maybe i 'll just avoid water for a few days , just in case . reva : joshua , do you feel like you 're drowning because of what 's going on with shayne ? or because of something else that 's going on ? josh : i 'm just a little overwhelmed right now . reva : okay . you want to talk about it ? josh : i thought that 's what we were doing . are n't we talking about it right now ? reva : yeah . okay . just know , joshua , that i 'm here for you , bud . always . i can be your lifeline , if that 's what you want . just grab hold . josh : what if i pull you down with me ? reva : at least we 'll be together . ( danny and bill talking quietly ) michelle : well , you guys are going to have to cancel all my photo shoots next week , unless black and blue is suddenly trendy . danny : what the hell happened to you ? michelle : oh , uh , a freaked - out patient came into the er and i guess i reminded him of somebody . danny : when ? when did this happen ? michelle : last night . danny : why did n't you tell me then ? michelle : well you , you know , you got home so late and you were so exhausted and i really did n't think it was that big of a deal until i woke up this morning and i saw this . danny : do you need some ice for that ? michelle : no , no . i 'll do that when i get home . bill : well , how do you want to spin this ? `` do - gooder wife takes it literally on the chin ? `` michelle : no , no , no , bill . no spin , really . do n't mention it , period . okay ? bill : people are going to notice . what are you going to say to them ? they 're going to ask . michelle : nobody 's going to notice . i 'm going to put makeup on it , cover it up . ( cell phone rings ) bill : uh , excuse me , guys . i 've got to take this , okay ? danny : i do n't believe this . what happened to the guy who hit you ? did hospital security lock him up ? michelle : no , danny . he was a troubled person . he really could n't help himself . danny : man , i was worried about you working at the hot - line . does it hurt ? looks like it hurts . michelle : nothing that a kiss from you wo n't make better . danny : okay . i 'll be gentle . oh , poor baby . i 'll tell you what , once bill gets off the phone , why do n't we just get out of here and go home , okay ? michelle : oh , i like the sound of that . danny : me , too . me , too . you know , i never knew what a real home was until i met you . michelle : you know , i feel the same way , danny . the life we lead together , it just , it means everything to me . ed : all right , look . i mean , i was wrong to hit michelle . i make no excuses for that . but i do n't owe you or anyone else an explanation , rick . rick : stop this . i love you . so , whatever 's bothering you , you need to share it with me so we can deal with it and deal with it right now . ed : what has michelle told you ? rick : nothing . ed : come on , she 's told you something . what ? rick : she told me that you slapped her in the face and that she 's worried about you . ed : so just leave it be . rick : are you drinking ? ed : i am not drinking . rick : would you tell me if you were drinking ? ed : why do n't you believe me ? do you want to take a blood alcohol test right now ? come on . you want to do it ? let 's go . rick : dad , stop this . just stop this . ed : stop what ? you do n't want me to be angry ? to be hurt ? that my own son doubts my word . do n't worry about it , i 'm not . i 'll tell you what i am , though : i am tired and i 'm worn - out and i am sick of being interrogated by my own children . and if some stinking blood test is going to put an end to that , come on , let 's do it . take my blood , rick . rick : do n't do this here . do n't do this . why ca n't you tell me what 's wrong with you ? why ca n't you do that ? i 'm your son . ed : because i do n't want to . and that 's my right . rick : i am your son . what could possibly be so wrong that you ca n't share it with me ? ed : this conversation is over ! reva : i 've waited for this for so long . you 've been pulling away from me and i missed you . josh : we ca n't do this right now . reva : no , it 's fine . josh : no , no , this is not a good time , reva . reva : well , then , let 's just concentrate on us . josh : no . i really think you should go . danny : what 's the matter ? michelle : nothing . nothing . i 've just been thinking about a lot of stuff lately . danny : stuff ? what kind of stuff ? michelle : family and what it means . danny : what brought all this on ? the holidays ? the holidays . michelle : you know , you have this perfect image of what a family 's supposed to look like . but they come in all shapes and sizes now and i guess what really matters is just the love and the respect and the trust . and if you have that , you have everything . and if you do n't ... danny : yeah , if you do n't , you wind up with a mother like mine and spend the rest of your life trying to get past it . michelle : we really have gotten past it , danny . danny : you know why ? because of you and robbie . and you know what i want to do right now ? michelle : what ? danny : go home and be with our son . give him dinner and a bath and read him his favorite bedtime book for the hundredth time , tuck him in and then cuddle up by the fire with my favorite lady in the whole world for the rest of the night . how 's that sound to you ? michelle : it sounds perfect . cassie : well , we emptied the box . i guess that 's a record . edmund : sorry . cassie : no , do n't be . we needed to deal with this and i need to bear some responsibility . edmund : cassie , do n't . cassie : no , edmund , come on . i 'm not perfect , you know ? edmund : close . cassie : no . and you know what ? i have a bit of a confession . edmund : oh , goodie . confessions are good for the soul . cassie : when we all found out who sandy was , i was happy for reva , but i was a little jealous , too . i mean , she got back her son that she had with richard , and it 's never going to happen for me . kind of petty , huh ? edmund : well , about as petty as richard offering me an olive branch and me turning it down right before he died . cassie : you know , i think that 's worse . edmund : thanks . cassie : i guess we 're human , huh ? edmund : yeah . afraid so . god , i just remember at the hospital , when richard found out about the baby . the look on his face . cassie : you were there , huh ? did , um ... edmund : what ? cassie : no , never mind . i do n't want to talk about it anymore . i just want to be here with you . ( sighs ) reva : well ! ( laughs ) i believe that 's the first time you 've ever turned me down . josh : it 's not about ... reva : about me . i know , i know that . you keep saying that , but you wo n't tell me what it is about . josh : reva , i ... i want to be with you . i want to make love to you . and i wish that that would just fix everything that we did that ... reva : fix what ? fix what ? is it something else ? just talk to me . talk to me , joshua . or not . okay , you know , this was wrong . this was a big mistake , i know that , coming here , uninvited . i mean , i pushed myself and this is what i get for it , you know ? hey , you know what ? they say that a little humiliation can be a positive experience . josh : reva . reva ... reva : it 's all right . i 'm fine . i am . but i 'm just a little worried about you . i am . if you want to talk about anything , i 'm a phone call away . josh : okay . what about the ... reva : ( laughs ) we 'll save it . josh : okay . reva : for the next time . josh : next , on guiding light jeffrey : there was nothing wrong with that marah , you know ? there 's nothing wrong with something that 's real , honest , something that comes from the heart . marah : but wait a minute , i thought that what we had had nothing to do with our hearts . eden : here . i have a little parting gift for you .

edmund forces cassie to look backwards in time , to the night of the accident when she lost her baby . at first resistant to the memories flooding upon her , cassie grows more emotional remembering against her will details of the frightening night she drove the car off the road . edmund makes clear to her that he never meant to harm her . cassie , to his growing horror , starts to blame herself , realizing that her own reckless driving and defiant attitude during a high - risk pregnancy were contributing causes . she asks his forgiveness for having been so sanctimonious in scapegoating him and edmund freely gives it . after the talk they are more at peace , but cassie asks edmund if he was at the hospital the night the baby miscarried ? he wonders why she 's asking but she hides the hidden thought with `` no reason . `` reva shows up at josh 's hotel room with a comfort basket of videos and movie snack food . josh is surprised to see her and , out of loyalty to his men friends , resists her company . but she charms her way past his many defenses and is cuddling in his arms when she shares with him the vision she had recently of his drowning . josh now remembers his need to keep her at a distance , and resists her attempted seduction . reva exits with dignity , but it is only when alone in the hall do we see how devastated she is by this turn of events .

tony : yeah , we do . eden : hear me out . what you 're doing right now , showing up wherever i am , talking about destiny , dismissing bill , it 's not about me . it 's all about marah . tony : you know how to ruin a perfectly good moment , do n't you ? eden : you know i 'm right , tony . you are trying so hard to push your feelings for marah away that you need something , someone , just to fill that space . tony : interesting . romantic , but wrong . i 've told you , marah and i are over . i 've said it a million times . eden : you think you can just turn your feelings off like a light switch . tony : when something needs to end , eden , that 's exactly what you do . you should keep that in mind , you know ? eden : oh . and what was that $ 10,000 for a marah lewis design , a parting gift ? tony : i wanted ... okay . i wanted marah to know that i was happy and proud of her success , okay ? and i am . eden : i believe you . tony : good . eden : almost . tony : see , that 's the thing about people , eden . people can have more than one emotion and one feeling at a time . marah 's my past , okay ? and now i 'm ready to focus on my future . your water 's getting a little cold . would you like me to heat it up ? hmm ? jeffrey : well , of course it has something to do with our hearts , you know ? every time that two people get together and make love like we did , our hearts are involved . i mean , everything 's involved -- all the baggage that people carry with them , everything . but then , the night ends , and you get out of bed . marah : and jeffrey 's walls go right back up . do n't worry . i 'm not going to touch you , even though we both wish ... jeffrey : i 've got to go . marah : good . go . marina : hey ! shayne 's getting out of the hospital . come on . marah : gosh ! jeffrey : go . go . go see your brother . harley : here comes trouble . brad : how did you manage it ? harley : manage what ? brad : how did you manage to convince your fiancée to let you out of the house looking like that ? harley : gus is up to his ears in business . he barely noticed . brad : oh . harley : and he 's very happy that i have a new client . brad : oh . oh , that 's what i am -- a client . hmm . harley : a client who 's becoming a friend , maybe more . brad : really ? harley : well , the more i know , the more i want to know . i mean , if you were n't married . sorry . i did n't mean to overstep . brad : no , no , no . it 's all right . it 's nice to feel appreciated for a change . you know , with this lori jensen mess behind us , i thought marie and i could make a new start . i mean , i ... i did my best to keep her out of jail . harley : yes , you did . brad : but instead of feeling gratitude , she 's as possessive and suspicious as ever . it 's like she 's free and i 'm in prison . harley : finding a relationship that 's balanced is hard . one person cares too much , the other not enough . i admit at times like these i do miss my freedom . would n't want marie to catch us like this . brad : it 's all right . marie is out with her sister , the wicked witch of the east . we have the entire evening to ourselves . thanks . all right , what 's going on ? harley : it is amazing that you work so hard , and yet you still find time for a life . gus is completely obsessed with work . brad : well , gus still has a lot to prove to dear , old dad . as for myself , i 'm secure in the knowledge that spaulding enterprises would be lost without me . harley : must be very empowering to know your worth . but i thought that alan was the company genius , no ? brad : we let him think that . harley : we ? brad : alex and i . when in reality we know that spaulding pharmaceuticals is the crown jewel of the company , and it 's our baby . harley : well , you and alex are quite a team , huh ? you 're not just the numbers man ? brad : alex has always depended on me , in many ways . harley : you and alex ? gus : what 's up , buzz ? buzz : i have n't seen her . gus : what ? buzz : no . harley 's out with a client . i 'm on my own tonight . where are the kids ? gus : we got a sitter . everything 's fine . they 're doing fine . buzz : good . gus : yeah . so did i pass ? i mean , can i get a little lamb pie and some of that wine that ... you know , the stuff that tastes like turpentine ? what is that stuff ? buzz : retsina . gus : yeah , retsina . retsina . that stuff . buzz : we 're all out . gus : you 're out ? well , can you ... you know , you 're going to have to order it up , because that stuff is so nasty it 's good . so ... buzz : i do n't think with the new menu that we 're going to have greek food . so we wo n't be needing retsina . gus : hey , wait a second . new menu ? what are you doing ? if it ai n't broke , do n't fix it . this is a good menu . buzz : change is good . change with menus , people . change is good . i mean , if i had n't changed , i would n't have come back here and gotten to know my kids . if you had n't changed , you 'd still be the same insufferable nerd you were when you walked in here the first time . gus : well , thank you very much . buzz : well , i mean , were you nerd or were n't you a nerd ? gus : i had some nerd - like qualities , i guess . buzz : you know , i thought you were the worst thing that ever happened to my daughter . but now , honestly , i think you 're good enough for her . i think you two are lucky to have each other , and the kids are lucky . i think ... you know , you 're going to have a fine family . and whatever happens , wherever i am ... gus : buzz , what ... what 's go on ? is there something going on that ... buzz : you know , i do have one more bottle of retsina in the cellar . it 's yours . reva : i 'm no good at this . josh : who is ? it 's different for them . reva : i just ca n't stand the idea that shayne 's resigned himself to that chair for life . josh : it 's part of the process . or do n't you remember ? reva : you 're going to get a headache if you keep concentrating that hard . josh : shh ! oh , forget it . i spoke too soon . forget it . reva : no ! no , no , no , no , no . no , no , no . josh : the magic is gone . reva : you 're going to get it . no , no . you 've got it . you 've got it . just give it one more try . josh : no . it 's not going to work , reva . reva : yes , it will . it might work if you give it one more shot . just one more shot . i know you can do it . josh : all right , all right , all right . reva : okay . you wanted to give up . josh : but you would n't let me . it was your love and your faith in me that got me to walk again . rick : hey , good . everybody 's here . reva : rick , where 's ed ? i thought he was the one that was in charge of this . rick : he had an emergency at the clinic . do n't worry . i can handle this . a few routine tests and some instructions , and shayne can go home . come on . marina : i wanted to make a sign and put it on the back of your chair , like , `` out of here , `` or something like that . remy : luckily there was no time . marina : but we are all ready for you at home . remy : oh , we have been for days , thanks to general marah over here . marah : hey , you know what ? that nickname 's getting a little old . nico : marina just showed me a list marah made for everyone to have an assignment to do a different chore -- `` things to do before shayne comes home , no excuses . `` man , you 've got some pretty tough women in your life . shayne : yeah , tell me about it . speaking of the general ... marah : oh , you watch it . you think you 're safe in that chair , but you 're not . shayne : well , i 'll take my chances . i need to talk to you for a second . alone , if you guys do n't mind . marina : no . remy : clear the room , guys . all right , you guys , you know , we 'll be out there with your folks . marah : i 'm sorry i was n't here for your surgery . shayne : no , no . someone in the family needs to be normal . marah : what do you mean , normal ? shayne : i mean it was new year 's eve , you had a date . it 's fine . marah : no . not if it means keeping me from you . so what 's up ? shayne : i need you to control mom and dad for me . especially mom . marah : yeah . me and what army ? shayne : they want too much . marah : they want what we all want . shayne : no . mom thinks i 'm going to be like dad , you know , and just magically , boom , shayne 's going to be up , i 'm going to be out of this chair playing ball again . you know what i mean . it 's like they think that if we just wish hard enough ... wishes do n't come true . wishing on a star , that kind of stuff does n't happen . we found that out when we were young . marah : yeah . no matter how hard we wished , huh ? shayne : but i have a lot . i mean , i 'm alive , dad and i are getting along after everything that happened , and i have you guys . marah : and marina . shayne : yeah , for now . i 'm sorry , i 'm just being weird . marah : yes , you are . marina loves you , and she would never leave you . and you 're right , you are lucky . i guess i wish i 'd wished on a star this time . maybe that would have worked better . rick : hey , guys . i 'm hearing this rumor that shayne wants to check out of this place . marah : yes , sir . shayne : please , yes . rick : all right . you got it . just a few quick tests and some parting words of wisdom , and you can go home . gus : all righty . so what are we drinking to ? buzz : family . doing the right thing for them . better late than never . marina : so , are we out of here ? rick : yep . as long as shayne shows up for his physical therapy and his follow- up exams , he can go home . shayne : good . rick : all right . now , this is the `` do not try at home `` list , all right ? shayne , you ready ? shayne : yeah , on one condition . there 's one more thing i need to do before i leave . i want to try to get on my feet again . reva : oh , honey , you do n't ... shayne : no , it 's better that i do it now than , you know , being at home alone . rick : yeah , absolutely . you want everybody else to leave while we try this ? shayne : no , no . we 're all in this together . i need to know where i stand before i leave , or do n't stand . tony : you ready to get out ? hmm ? eden : not quite yet . since we 're talking about the naked truth , i think it 's time for you to reciprocate . tony : absolutely . eden : i do n't want you in the tub , tony . i want you to tell me the truth . tony : yeah ? about what , hmm ? eden : you left springfield to get away from marah , to get out from being under being danny 's boy . to get away from me , even . you wanted to carve your own way in this world . so what 's the screeching u - turn , huh ? tony : i was running away , eden , okay ? no matter how far or fast i ran , it did n't solve anything , okay ? so i had to come back to deal with danny , with marah , and with you . you see , eden , the fact is you 're the woman i should be with . i realized that when i was gone . the fact is i want you , and the other fact is ... look at me . i will have you . eden : and it does n't matter that i am with another man , and it does n't matter that i am finally happy , and i feel worthwhile for the first time in my life ? tony : here we go again . eden : that i am supposed to just come to my senses , and i am just supposed to leave everything that makes me happy ... tony : happy ? eden : ... and run away with a guy that basically makes me feel doomed instead of feeling destined ? tony : one thing -- you 'll come to your senses , trust me . and when you do , i 'll be here . okay ? eden : you 're a step behind , tony . i 've already come to my senses . here -- i have a little parting gift for you . you take a long , hard look , because this is something that will never ... it will never belong to you . gus : look at this thing . look how ... it 's like it was corked around the time that homer could still see an eye chart . buzz : `` the grey - eyed athena sent them a favorable breeze , a fresh wind , singing over the wine - dark sea . `` that 's homer , the odyssey . each life is an odyssey , do n't you think ? the pie . gus : yeah . you know , buzz , can you do me a favor ? can you wrap this all up ? because i should really go home . i 'm thinking about the kids , and i , you know ... buzz : you 're a good man . gus : kristin , hey . it 's gus . yeah , listen . can you do me a favor ? can you watch the kids for a couple more hours ? thanks . i 've got to find harley . harley : this is so fascinating . i have so many questions . brad : fire away . harley : pharmaceutical research . i mean , it just ... it seems so cutthroat , you know ? do n't you feel like your enemies are always right behind you , ready to steal your secrets ? brad : well , i would if we did n't have excellent security , you know ? harley : well , that 's good . so i guess nothing happens at spaulding without you knowing about it . brad : what are you suggesting ? jeffrey : easy , terrier . nibble . do n't bite . harley : i 'm thinking that gus has a long way to go before he could compete with a man like you . at spaulding , of course . brad : oh , harley , you do n't know the half of it . i 've taken spaulding pharmaceuticals from europe to the far east to the southern hemisphere ; from san cristobel to brazil . and now i 'm back to knock them dead in the good , old u s of a . harley : is there anything you ca n't do ? brad : well , you know what they say . some things take two . rick : all right , this is your last chance . you do n't have to try this if you do n't want to . shayne : yes , i do . rick : all right . josh , remy , you want to give him a hand ? take your time , now , okay ? reva : next on guiding light brad : now that 's how it 's done , huh ? harley : gus , hi . gus : hi , honey . shadow : hello again . miss me ? eden : who is this ? tony : it 's a recording . shadow : danny santos and bill lewis are in danger . meet me tonight , towers parking garage .

( loud knock on the door ) jonathan : that better not be sandy . reva : whoo . i thought i might find you here . is tammy ... tammy : hi , aunt reva . reva : hi . sweetie , i hate to break up the little party , or whatever you 're doing here , but i told your mother i was going to look after you , and i ca n't very well do that when you two keep disappearing on me . so do me a favor , pretend like you care what i think , and come home with me . jonathan : yeah , i think that is a good idea . tammy : but what about you ? jonathan : i 'll just sleep on the couch at outskirts until i find another place . reva : what happened to your place ? jonathan : the landlord just evicted me because he heard ... reva : i do n't want to know ! no . i do n't want to know the details . just get your stuff together and you come , too . tammy : you mean ... reva : what i mean is you 'll stay in marah 's room and you 'll stay in your old room . there will be no little show and tells in the middle of the night . and if i catch you , then you will both be out on your butts . jonathan : oh , that 's crazy , reva . reva : no , what it is , is the rule ! it 's one of them . and if you want to stay under my roof , then you will learn to abide by them .

[ scene_break ] lizzie : nice suit . cyrus : thanks . how 's it going ? lizzie : my granddad went over to bill 's with a buyout plan . it was his idea , but at least my grandfather asked me before taking the offer to bill . cyrus : and you said he could ? lizzie : i did n't know what to say . if bill takes the offer , he 's out of the company . he 's out of my life . work is the only thing holding us together , so ... cyrus : do you want bill to sign the papers ? even if it turns out he 's not the one who kidnapped you ? lizzie : i do n't know . [ scene_break ] christina : i 'm just really stressed out , you know ? i mean , the holidays were stressful , because they are . and retaking the mcats will be stressful , because what if i fail ? then if i pass , then that will be stressful , too , because then i 'll have to worry about how i 'm going to get into medical school and if i can afford medical school . i just ... you know , i can still pay for my own coffee myself . remy : okay . well , actually , can you pay for mine ? i only have two bucks , and i do n't want to put it on my card . christina : what kind of man only carries two dollars on him ? remy : me . christina : and what if there is an emergency , remy ? remy : what kind of an emergency ? christina : one that costs more than two dollars . remy : look , i can walk across the street to the a.t.m . and pay for both of our coffees . christina : that 's not the point . remy : then what is the point ? christina : i forgot . remy : i hope you do n't forget the stuff on the mcats . christina : do n't even joke about that . remy : okay . all right . you put too much pressure on yourself , christina . i mean , one minute you 're celebrating them letting you retake the test , and the next you 're obsessing about what 's in my wallet in case there is some mysterious emergency in some mysterious place that wo n't take credit cards . you do it to yourself . christina : i know , okay ? and i would like to stop , but if i put more pressure on myself to stop , then that 's more pressure . remy : you 're doing it again . come on . christina : where are we going ? remy : i know why you failed the mcats . it 's not because you do n't know the material . what kind of husband would i be if i let you stand in your own way . christina : okay . so where are we going ? two dollars barely covers bus fare , you know ? hey . [ scene_break ] marina : you know , not that it 's any of my business , but , um , i think it 's really brave doing what you 're doing , going through with your pregnancy and fighting cancer at the same time . reva : no . actually , bravery is making the choice to run into a burning building to save people when everybody else is running out . marina : yeah , well , that 's shayne . reva : yeah . i could n't be half as brave as he is . you know , it 's not like i made the choice to be in this situation myself . and some days i get so scared that i would like nothing more than to run , but this is a boy , too , so i 've got to buckle up . marina : congratulations ! ( laughter ) reva : thank you . marina : but it would be wonderful if it was a girl , too . reva : yes , i know . i mean , this little guy may actually be helping me battle my leukemia , as well , by giving my immune system a boost . it 's strange , if you 're looking for a scientific definition of what love is , that just might be it . this guy is saving my life , and we have n't even been properly introduced yet . you and mallet maybe thinking about children ? marina : children ... that 's probably not possible . reva : i was n't supposed to have another baby , either . i was n't supposed to be battling cancer twice . i was n't supposed to be having a baby who 's helping me battle that cancer , so ... do n't give up on miracles just yet . [ scene_break ] mallet : well , doc , what happens if i have this thing ? i mean , prepare me now . did i happen to mention before that i just got married ? doctor : you did . if melanoma is confirmed by the biopsy , we 'll do more tests to see if it is confined to the area . if it is , we 'll remove the cancer cells , and no further treatment is needed . mallet : good . and then say that it is n't , what happens ? doctor : well , we 'll do more tests , lymph node biopsies and x - rays . melanoma can grow into the skin , reaching blood vessels and spreading . mallet : let 's say all that has happened , then what ? doctor : well , we 'll move onto chemo , radiation , immunotherapy , but we do n't know any of this yet . mallet : so , doc , you 'll tell me when you get the results , right ? because , like i said before , i 'm a newlywed . i 'm getting my life together , and i ca n't have cancer . you know , if i have cancer , then i have a lot to figure out , you know ? doctor : of course . but just try not to get ahead of yourself . it could be nothing . mallet : okay . good . oh , come on . just tell me you did n't hear that . you did n't hear that , did you ? reva : i did . i did . mallet : well , it 's just a ... i do n't know . i 've got a little mole thing going on or something . they 'll know more after the biopsy . reva : i know what it 's like . i do . the waiting ... it 's awful . but he said that it might not be anything . mallet : yeah . do n't tell anyone . reva : who would i tell ? you 're not going to tell marina ? oh , mallet , been there , done that . bad idea . [ scene_break ] cyrus : so this is the buyout offer ? lizzie : yeah . yeah , that 's my copy . cyrus : do you need any help ? lizzie : when i hired you , not for here ... to find out the truth about my kidnapping , i felt like such a jerk . it was like announcing to the world that , yes , i do have doubts in bill . and i spent every day fighting for him while fighting my own worst fears , that maybe he could do this . and the whole time he knew that he could have and never told me . cyrus : it 's still possible that he did n't . lizzie : yeah , i know . i mean , when he 's not around , i feel empty . and all those weeks that he was in a coma , i have never felt so alone in my whole life . and now he 's here . he 's here . he 's around , and all of the emptiness is just replaced with pain . and i do n't know which is worse . bill : i guess that 's my answer . look , i , um ... i thought breaking up and moving out of the house was enough . and i just never ... never thought i would hurt you if i stayed here , too . maybe ... maybe i knew it and i was just trying to convince myself that i did n't , but i have the papers . i know what alan wants . what do you want ? lizzie : are you any closer to getting your memory back ? bill : no . [ scene_break ] daisy : what are you doing here ? cyrus : i work for lizzie now . daisy : okay . well , is bill here ? cyrus : yeah , they 're in the board room . but whatever it is , it 's going to have to wait . daisy : no . this ca n't wait . [ scene_break ] grady : we need to do something about this . [ scene_break ] mallet : i mean , it 's pointless to make marina worry . come on , we 're talking about a stupid , little mole . where did she go , anyway ? reva : i think the cafeteria . mallet , listen to me . this is the way it starts . you know ... you do n't say anything , because you do n't know anything . and then you find out that you are sick , and then you do n't say anything , because you do n't know how intense the treatments are going to be . and so you start rationalizing and rationalizing until , god forbid , it progresses to the point where you ca n't not say anything . anything . so instead of dealing with it , so instead of dealing with it , little by little , every day , together , you drop this thing in her lap that is so big and so bad , that not only is it destroying your body , but it destroys your marriage . do n't give this disease that kind of power . mallet : well , i do n't want her living scared , okay ? i love her more than life , and it 's my job to keep her happy . reva : no . it 's your job to respect her , and to give her credit for being able to deal with whatever life throws at you . and not just the two of you . what if you want to have a family ? mallet : well , that 's not likely . reva : yeah ? well , neither was this . if you do n't tell marina , then you 're not only cheating yourself , but you 're cheating her out of the chance to love you enough . hold onto her . hold onto her as tightly as you can , because that 's what love is . marina : hey . what took so long ? i got some snacks . mallet : come on . i have to ... i have to tell you something .

[ scene_break ] alan : a hypnotist ? a magician ? grady : daisy said he 's a hypnotherapist . alan : oh , so a magician with a degree . that 's even worse . grady : look , i just thought i should tell you that there is a chance that bill could get his memory back . alan : it 's got to worry you . grady : what ? alan : well , you 're more involved in this than i am . what if bill does get his memory back and ties you to elizabeth 's kidnapping , huh ? grady : so what are we going to do about this ? alan : we 're not going to do anything . your brother was just by here , and he told me that he would stop blackmailing me if i stopped doing business with you . so here you are , huh ? now , this could be very costly for me , grady . grady : bill getting his memory back could cost us both . so you better do something about it . alan : yeah . get me everything you can find out about dr. herman wenkel .

( car revs ) tony : who is that ? is that you ? all right , eden , do me a favor . go back to the car . go . eden , let me handle this all right . eden : i 'm not ... tony : just go , please . eden : i am not leaving until we get what we came for . shadow : what is it that you came for , miss eden ? ( laughs ) that 's all right . i can do all the talking . tony : okay , you got us here . now come out and show your face . shadow : i 'm afraid i ca n't do that . if i did that then the game would be over . and we 're having so much fun . now have you told anyone about our last little chat ? tony : no . eden : no one . shadow : really , miss eden ? your desire to protect bill did n't compel you to ask around to see who might be causing trouble for him ? eden : ( sneezes ) shadow : i 'll take that as a yes . you two are to young to remember the radio show , but the shadow knows . ( laughs ) tony : yeah , yeah , all the fun we 're having . well , i 'm not having it . shadow : and you , tony , you did n't happen to inquire into campaign to see anyone made any threats ? perhaps we should reiterate the rules here . who i am is irrelevant . what i say is critical and it stays here . now we do n't have much time . danny 's campaign is rolling into high gear . tony : wait a second . you said this was n't about the campaign . eden : you said this had to do with lewis construction . shadow : well , perhaps it has something to do with the connection between the two . tony : so now you 're changing your story . shadow : you want a story , i 'll tell you a story . once upon a time a mobster decided to run for mayor promising the people honesty and integrity . however , behind the scenes there were forces at work using the campaign for their own corrupt purposes . tony : we did not come down here for story telling . what forces are you talking about , man ? shadow : tony , you of all people should know exactly who and what i 'm talking about . bill : thank you . hey , gus , you see your sister around ? gus : my sister . do i still have one of those ? bill : why ? what 's going on ? i thought you patched things up around the holidays ? gus : listen i tried . but no , we did n't . so if you see her , you tell her that ... tell her i said hello , ' all right . bill : well , if i tell her a little something more . all right , look eden matters to me and it 's pretty obvious that you matter to her . gus : yeah . are we talking about the same girl ? bill : look , she just gives you a hard time because she cares about so much . gus : well , i ... i try , okay , man . and you 're a guy , you know that i try . bill : yeah , i know you tried . i know you tried . but i think you failed . gus : you know , but the trying , that 's the part that counts , right ? bill : look , this is what i 'm thinking about . you go to someone like eden with a wordy apology , she 's just going to hear blah , blah , blah . so eden , what is she all about ? she 's about action . gus : okay , but i got ... i even got her that pizza . that was her favorite pizza . i made the effort . bill : and what a fine pie that was . but that 's not what i 'm talking about . okay , now what if , and just hear me out on this , i tell her that we 're working together ? gus : we 're working together . bill : that 's right . we 're working together . she sees you and i trusting each other , working well together , that might put you in a whole new light with her . i 'll get you a drink . we 'll talk a little more about it . gus : fine . but i 'll buy the drinks . and we 'll put them on the spaulding expense account , all right ? bill : that 's what i 'm talking about . buzz : i am not dying . harley : that 's a great attitude . that is a great attitude . buzz : no ... harley : see , daddy , you have to fight . buzz : i am not dying , because i am not sick . harley : denial . this happens sometimes . buzz : my cholesterol is 151 and my blood pressure is 120 over 80 . and on a good day , i could still do a one handed push up . harley : really ? buzz : if the floor were cleaner , i 'd show you right now . harley : i mean ... you do n't have a terminal illness ? buzz : why are you saying that like you 're disappointed ? harley : god , you scared me to death . buzz : what 's that for ? harley : and what is going on here ? buzz : what is that ? harley : you know , gus is the one who started this . he came to me . he told me that you were acting like you were going somewhere ? well , are you going somewhere ? buzz : i ... waitress : buzz ? buzz ? buzz : what ? waitress : you 've got marina on the line . buzz : tell her i 'll call right back , okay ? waitress : she said it 's urgent . buzz : marina , what 's wrong ? marina : hey , nothing 's wrong , actually . he did it . i mean he walked . but it was n't ... it was only ... it was only like two steps , but they were the most beautiful steps ever . buzz : it was you , sweetheart . you made it happen . marina : i do n't know . buzz : honey , you stuck with him through everything . you were tough . you did n't run out when things got bad . you hung in there . you went through it all no matter what . that 's ... that 's ... marina : grandpa , are you okay ? buzz : i 'm happy for you and shayne now . give him a hug for me . and one for yourself . harley : daddy , what is it ? shayne : mom , you 're still crying . it 's supposed to be a good thing . reva : i know . they 're good tears , okay . shayne : yeah , well , if you 're going to cry every time i take a step , i do n't know ... reva : sweetheart , it 's not just the walking . it 's seeing hope in your eyes again . has n't been there for a long time . i missed it . shayne : i just did n't want to get my hopes up in case it did n't happen . reva : yeah , but you did . marah : you did . reva : oh , ed . ed : hi . reva : rick said that you were at the clinic . ed : oh , it turned out to be not actually that much an emergency after all . so ... reva : oh . shayne : hey , dr. bauer , i walked . i walked . ed : i heard . i could n't be happier for you . congratulations . that 's great . you must be relieved and proud . i wish i had as much courage as your son . josh : me , too . reva : hey , guys , why so serious ? like shayne said , this is a good thing . ed : and he 's right . he 's absolutely right . reva : what was that ? joshua ? josh : do you believe in redemption ? reva : what is wrong with you ? josh : what ? reva : i just do n't understand . this should be one of the happiest times in our lives and you are a million miles away . marah : hey . marina : hey . marah : you coming back in ? marina : yeah , yeah . i just ... i do n't know . i needed a second to get my thoughts together and ... it 's just the timing of this . marah : what do you mean ? marina : well , i just really needed this to happen right now , you know , the whole maryanne caruthers thing and the way it 's been tearing us all up . and then there 's ... just when i really starting to hate carrie for coming into our lives , shayne walks . marah : what does that have to do with it ? marina : well , it 's the rings , you know , the rings . i made a wish on carrie 's ring for shayne to walk and he did . marah : yeah , but shayne went through surgery and he 's been through rehab . marina : yeah , but that fall on christmas eve was a really big deal for him . i mean he was losing his motor functions . he ... he was giving up hope . and i do n't think it was the surgery that fixed that . i think it was my wish . look at michelle . her wish for danny to make good on the santos name . and you 've seen his campaign posters all over town . he 's getting a lot of support . really vote for the odds . marah : marina , that 's just politics . marina : no , it was michelle 's wish . and now it 's your turn . marah : you 're starting to sound like her . marina : i mean , i was the biggest skeptic of all , but all that went right out the window when shayne walked . so what about you ? what 's your wish ? marah : the same as yours . you know , i do n't really have another wish . but i guess if i did it would be ... it would be for somebody who gets me and who could love me for me . but you know , i should probably just wish for a new car , or a spread in vogue or something like that . marina : keep working on it . wishes do come true . reva : our son is walking again . what more redemption do you need ? rick : excuse me , folks , it 's time to get your son out of here . we need this room for sick people . josh : yeah .

shayne 's initial first step seems almost too good to be true . at first , he believes he had help . but when he tries it again , on his own , he and everyone else realize the miracle is real shayne can walk . reva and josh momentarily overcome the distance that 's existed between them to revel in their son 's recovery . marah , too , is able to share in shayne 's moment . and most of all , marina , his constant champion can hold him close and know their future is filled with possibility . but at that very moment , unknown to her , buzz is preparing to leave town . at the same time , gus seeks out harley to tell her that he 's worried about her father . but to gus 's surprise , he finds her with brad . harley is stuck for an explanation when brad , of all people , bails her out . later , when gus tells her about buzz , harley has the sinking feeling that her father must be grievously ill . she goes to buzz believing he `` wo n't be around `` much longer . in a case of comic misunderstanding , he tries to tell her goodbye , while she thinks he 's headed for the grave . thankfully , marina calls buzz to tell him the good news about shayne . while praising his granddaughter for her unwavering courage and optimism , buzz hears his own words and realizes he 's running out on the people who need him most . by the end of the day , buzz has a change of heart . meanwhile , gus encounters bill , who is becoming more and more of a player in the political and business worlds of springfield . bill wants to include gus in his plans for the future . while all this is going on , tony and eden 's `` spa `` treatment is interrupted by a call from the informant with information that could save bill and danny . tony and eden go to a parking garage to meet the informant , who fancies himself `` the shadow . `` and there they learn the name of the person who has brought the mob into lewis construction and threatened danny 's campaign .

[ scene_break ] jonathan : i 've never actually been grocery shopping before . are you sure reva 's not here ? tammy : are you scared ? no . you 're right . we promised her we would n't . jonathan : not yet , no . would n't want to get you in any worse with your family . tammy : you know , i 'd like to forget the whole world against us thing for five minutes . so , ca n't we just be together ? ca n't we just do something normal ? put these away . berries . mmm . yum . normal , see ? jonathan : uh - huh . now this is normal . i could really get on this . tammy : hmm , you 're sneaky . jonathan : ( mocking tammy ) ( laughs ) tammy : maybe i can bake a tart with these . jonathan : tart ? tammy : my mom 's a great baker ; i learned from her . and aunt reva gave me my grandma 's recipe . wow , our grandma sarah . that 's something we do n't talk about much . jonathan : no , but i bet you everybody else does . it 's probably time we deal with it , too . we 're not just a guy and a girl who hooked up , tammy . we 're cousins . tammy : that 's what i hate . the way you just said cousins , it sounds so ... jonathan : wrong ? tammy : but we 're not cousins like that . our mothers are only half sisters . and they did n't meet each other until they were adults . and we did n't meet each other until last year . jonathan : to us . tammy : i thought you do n't care what people think ? jonathan : i do n't , but you do . tammy : i 'm caring less and less . and i think other people will start to care less , too , the more they see us together . they 'll just get use to it , right ? jonathan : okay . so let 's help them get used to it , let 's go out . tammy : really ? like now ? jonathan : yeah . yeah , we 'll get all dressed up . tammy : wow . you mean you 'll put on a clean t - shirt ? jonathan : well , if i have one . okay , we 're going to go out somewhere nice , too . i 'm going to take you to where all of the decent folk go . tammy : jonathan randall , are you asking me out on a date ? jonathan : i do n't know , am i ? tammy : you do n't know ? jonathan : no , because i actually never actually asked a girl out before . tammy : yeah , right . jonathan : no , it 's true . i mean , you know , i 've hooked up with some girls , yeah , but a real date ? nobody has never meant that much to me . so how do i do it ? how do i do it the right way ? tammy : it 's simple . you just say : tammy , would you like to go out with me ? jonathan : tammy , would you like to go out with me ? [ scene_break ] cassie : so what do i do now ? jeffrey : well , we can fight it , because she has n't been convicted of a crime . cassie : not yet . but who the hell knows what 's going to happen next . my daughter has been brought up on arson charges . she 's kicked out of school , and she is suddenly claiming her undying love for her cousin , a guy who hurt her and nearly destroyed her . and to top it all off , my sister thinks they 're the greatest couple since josh and reva . jeffrey : i know everything seems crazy right now , but ... cassie : am i crazy ? am i the only one who does n't get it ? i do n't see a whole lot of worry for anyone about tammy . jeffrey : i 'm worried about her . i 'm very worried about her . it 's just that ... you know what ? forget it . what do i know about raising families ? i do n't . cassie : no . what is it ? unless you think i 'm really , really going to hate it . jeffrey : i know that tammy is your little girl . she 's always going to be a little girl , but the fact of the matter is she is an adult , and she is capable of making her own decisions . i know we might not agree with all of those decisions all the time , but they 're hers , and you can make your choices , too . cassie : meaning ? jeffrey : meaning maybe it 's time that you stopped waiting for her to call every second and just accept this is the way it is -- for now . not forever , but for now . and focus on something else . cassie : okay . i do n't know how i 'm going to do it , but i 'll find a way to let it go . jeffrey : okay . we can start right now . you can go on a date with me , what do you say ? cassie : ( laughing ) jeffrey : okay a walk . we 'll go on a walk . cassie : ( laughing ) a walk . we 'll go on a walk .

tony : danny is done with the mob . and he sure as hell did not go bringing them into lewis , all right ? shadow : no , he did n't . bill did . eden : that is a lie . tony : do n't let him get a rise out of you . he 's nuts . everyone knows that bill is squeaky clean . shadow : bill is human with all the weaknesses , quirks and ambition that implies . is n't that right , ms. august ? bill : it 's not only power . it 's more like a sense of accomplishment . you know , josh , my dad , they put their faith in me and i delivered . _ eden : yes , you did . tried 200 % . _ bill : that 's right . that 's right . and now josh wants to bring in some stranger to micromanage and tell me how to do a better job . i mean , you can not do a better job that i 've been doing . eden : i agree . _ bill : so then why is he doing this ? _ tony : you know what , eden ? let 's go . this is crazy . let 's go . please . shadow : i noticed she 's listening . not to mix metaphors , but perhaps love is n't blind after all .

( pager beeps ) ed : it 's an outside call . call for michelle bauer ? carrie : where are you , michelle ? we need a fourth . and it 's not for bridge . michelle : i 'm glad to hear that you 're responding to treatment . carrie : you 're not alone ? michelle : that 's right . carrie : you 're with your father . michelle : right again . i wish that all my patients paid as much attention to detail as you do . carrie : marah and marina are already here . michelle : they are ... carrie : it is n't very complicated , michelle . we 're at a crossroads . we can not go forward without you . get rid of whatever you 're doing . i want to see you here now . michelle : okay , well , keep up the good work . ed : it sounded positive . michelle : yeah , actually it was the patient that i was talking to you about . she seemed to have turned the corner all by herself . ed : well , i 'm sure you had something to do with that . i mean you 've got such a gift for healing . michelle : i try . well , it 's going to be a really busy night , so i 'd better get to it . ed : okay . hey . do n't you know when to go home ? i thought you shifted ended , what , twenty minutes ago ? dr. raj : i 'm doing your daughter a favor . ed : michelle ? what kind of a favor ? what do you mean ? dr. raj : she did n't tell you ? she 's going out for awhile . but do n't worry , i 'm covering for her . carrie : what did your father and your uncle say when you gave them the second letters ? marah : what do you think they said ? they were shocked . carrie : and what happened when you told him that you knew the truth about what happened to maryanne ? did they admit their responsibility ? marah : no . no , uncle billy said that it never happened . carrie : and you father ? marah : nothing . he could n't even look at me . he just looked away . carrie : well , that at least proves he has a conscious . so shayne walked again . well , that 's a gift . a gift to both of you . that 's more than maryanne ever had . she never drew another breath . and your grandfather knows that . what did he say to you ? marina : he said that someone was trying to use me . carrie : and you believe that ? do you believe that i am lying to you ? marina : no . carrie : and you ? do you believe that i am lying to you ? marah : no . marina : he asked me who had been talking to me . i do n't know . it was just like the look on his face , you know , i never seen anything like that before . his eyes went like icy cold . marah : yeah , the same with my uncle billy . carrie : that 's the way some men are when they 're cornered . that makes them extremely dangerous . ( phone rings ) buzz : hello ? ed : buzz , we 're in trouble . buzz : ed , what 's wrong ? ed : michelle just lied to me . she lied about what was happening . buzz : where are you now ? ed : i 'm at the hospital . now listen she told me that she had kind of a busy schedule tonight , but then as it turns out she asked someone to cover for her and uh ... so she could go out for awhile , you know . where 's marina ? buzz : i do n't ... probably celebrating with shayne . ed : no , see , i do n't think so . josh and reva drove off with shayne . marina 's with marah . they got into marah 's car and they drove off together and they drove off really fast in another direction . buzz : where is michelle now ? ed : well , i do n't know . she 's probably going out to the parking lot . she 's got to check out first . buzz : ed , follow her . she can lead us to the person that 's squeezing us . ed : buzz , i do n't know anything about following people . buzz : damn it , i 'd go across the street myself , but she 's probably gone . ed : this is insane . buzz : ed , you have a cell phone . if there 's a snag , call . now go . alan : well , well , well , look who 's here . gus : hello . alan : what is this , boys ' night out ? a bowling league ? a poker game , maybe ? gus : no , we 're actually talking shop . alan : one of my favorite expressions . bill : here you go , folks . i hope danny can count on your vote come election day . alexandra : whoa ! well , actually i have n't ... i 'm still undecided . bill : undecided . well , we got to change that . danny santos is the best friend the business community in this town could ask for . gus : he also has something else up his sleeve , an idea to put spaulding and lewis together . bill : yeah , thanks . thanks , gus . gus and i were talking about making it ongoing instead of on a project - to - project basis . gus : not that i 'll be around to , you know , see it come to ... i 'm going to go back to the force next week . alan : but in the meantime , you think bill is on to something here ? gus : well , i got some great ideas for spaulding pharmaceuticals . alexandra : which happens to be my division . bill : is that right ? alexandra : uh - huh . gus : why do n't you just listen , auntie alexandra . because he 's got some good ideas that 's going to save the company a lot of money . bill : yeah , here it goes . take a look at this . and keep this guy around here . i 'm sure we can come up with a lot of ways to save you a bunch of money , goose up that bottom line of yours . eden : first you say danny and bill are in danger and then you say bill is the danger . which one is it ? shadow : let me paint you a little picture . imagine the fifth street project as a company picnic thrown by danny santos and lewis construction . everybody 's happy , having a good time . eden : and plenty of goodies to go around . shadow : exactly . then somebody drops a bread crumb , a single crumb . maybe by accident , maybe not . either way , nobody notices until the first rat shows up and then another and then another . pretty soon the whole place is overrun . tony : that 's nice . shadow : the point is , if you follow the crumbs , you will find the rats . cop : who 's there ? hey , what 's going on here ? hey , break it up . tony : sorry , officer . i just got a little carried away . ( laughs ) cop : well , sorry to disturb you . i just wanted to make sure everybody was okay . tony : well , we are . thank you . cop : all right . eden : was that necessary ? tony : probably not , but i 'm not very good with imagination , so ... eden : you know , the only reason i am here with you is because i thought we were helping danny and bill . and now i am not so sure . tony : why not ? eden : why not ? is n't there a tiny little part in your brain that is wondering whether we 're being set up ? tony : set up to what ? to hurt danny and bill ? no , eden . if that ... look at me . if that was the idea , okay , the shadow could easily ... already gone to the cops . all right , i think he 's on the level about what he 's telling us . it does n't take a genius to figure out that he means the rats and mob have already got into lewis construction . all right , now as far as the crumbs , i just ... eden : we do n't need that . tony : wait . where ... where are you going ? eden : i am going home . the fastest and easiest way to find if the mob has a hold on lewis is to ask bill directly . tony : you 're not going anywhere , okay . alan : bill , i like the way you think . but , unfortunately , i 'm going to have to pass on your proposal . bill : you mean a twenty - five percent lower shipping cost ? that does n't interest you ? alan : well , what we would save with your trucking firm , we would compromise on security . bill : no , no , no , no . this outfit is completely reliable . alan : well , for ordinary commodities . but , you see , pharmaceuticals are a primary target of industrial espionage . and our competitors are looking for our weak spots . gus : so then you 're saying that spaulding securities can never go to an outside source ? alan : precisely . alexandra : look , you know fresh new ideas are always welcomed except that there 's no substitute for experience . gus : talk about experience , guess who i ran into ? at olivia 's bar , brad green , mr . experience , himself . alan : and ? gus : and he was with a woman that was n't his wife . alexandra : he gets his work done . he does . gus : mm - hmm . i just thought that 's the way he got in trouble before . but you know , that 's what you 're saying , then i guess it 's okay . especially because the woman was harley . that 's who he was trying to buy drinks for and feed her oysters . but lucky for him , she 's not a bimbo . alexandra : excuse me , gentlemen , but i think i 'm getting a headache . alan : and its name is brad green . buzz : come on , ed , call . alexandra : buzz ? what are you doing out here in the cold ? buzz : well , i was sweeping up . and now i guess i 'm looking at the stars . alexandra : ( laughs ) beautiful , since it 's completely clouded over . buzz : well , that 's what makes it a challenge . alexandra : yeah . buzz , what is wrong , for pete 's sake ? you 've ... you 've been like this for weeks . buzz : nothing 's ever perfect . marina : are you trying to scare us ? my grandfather is n't dangerous . carrie : then you must have been mistaken when you saw that cold look in his eyes . marina : we gave them every chance to tell the truth . carrie : oh , my dear , when you were a tiny child and you did something wrong , broke a tea cup or spilled your mommy 's perfume , your parents told you to tell the truth . always tell the truth and everything will be forgiven . but you 're a grown woman now . you know things are not that simple . michelle : hi . sorry i 'm late . carrie : are you sure you were n't followed ? michelle : followed by who ? my dad ? carrie : well , he struck you . following you would be child 's play . michelle : no , nobody followed me . carrie : but you were on the phone with your father when i spoke to you . michelle : i lied to him so he would n't see me leave the hospital . ask me how i feel about it . carrie : michelle , i am not the enemy . michelle : well , that 's the one thing i am not so sure about sometimes . ed : yeah , it 's me . buzz : where is she ? ed : she 's right across the street . buzz : great . do n't lose her . ed : it 's a little late for that , buzz . michelle : look my dad was upset , okay . carrie : and violent . michelle : he lost control for a second , because i pushed him too far . carrie : oh , well , that explains everything . maryanne must have pushed him too far the night that she died . it 's always so convenient when you blame the victim . marah : you know what ? i hate this . i really , really hate this . it all started out so innocently . you know , `` wish on some magic rings , girls , and all will be well . `` well , i still have a wish . and i want all of this to go away . carrie : which part do you want to go away ? the part where maryanne got into the car with your father , or the part where i told you about it ? marah : either one would be convenient for me . michelle : so where are the rings ? marina : yeah , is n't marah entitled to her wish ? carrie : well , of course she is . but remember , these rings have great power and with power comes danger . so before you decide , think carefully about what you want and what you stand to gain and what you stand to lose . be careful what you wish for ' still applies . you might want to wish away that night , the car , the river . but what else might change ? you father might never have married your mother . you and brother might never have been born . ed might never have continued to be a doctor in springfield . buzz might not never have returned . only one thing is certain . change one thing in time , you risk changing them all . marah : well , i could still wish we never met you . carrie : yes , but what about the other wishes , the ones that came true ? the ones from marina and the ones from michelle ? danny might still be mired in his own life , shayne might be always confined to a wheelchair . be careful . when you wish away the bad , you might lose the good . marah : then how are we supposed to help the people that we love ? they 're in agony because of stuff that we have stirred up . marina : but you 're blaming the wrong people . marah : the car crash was an accident . carrie : a cover - up was a choice . michelle : but they thought it was their best choice . carrie : they made that pact on the river bank that night . when they had comparatively nothing to lose . what choice would they make now when they have everything to lose ? rick : you would have been so proud , the man in charge , he was telling all the rest of the children what to do , he was completely a chip off the old spaulding block . beth : what did he say to you ? rick : he said , `` i 'm going to be boss , just like my daddy . `` beth : yes , it 's true , i was there , you should be very proud . rick : but the kids , they were sick of it , there was this big overthrow your son is going to be quite the corporate kid some day , i hope . beth : and i always thought it would be lizzie to take over the company . but maybe they can work together . would n't that be nice for a change ? like the bauers . rick : oh , please , not the bauers , we 're not playing very well these days . beth : what 's going on ? rick : i do n't know , my dad and michelle are just , i do n't know , i do n't know what to say , i have no clue what 's going on . beth : you know , i saw ed not too long ago , he seemed kind of lonely to me . rick : he is lonely , but you know my dad , some of this loneliness is self- inflicted , he makes life difficult on himself and sometimes he throws that ... parents . what are we going to do ? some day our kids are going to roll their eyes at us just like we did with alan and lillian and my dad . bill : okay , alan , maybe you did n't like this idea , but there will be others . in the mean time , keep this guy around , very smart , makes a great sounding board . gus : i got ta say , it 's not that i do n't like the corporate life , i do , i quite like it . i miss my job , i miss solving riddles and putting the bits and pieces together , like your stolen car , for example . bill : when did this happen ? gus : oh , 30 years ago , but it was just recovered last week . bill : wait , the one they pulled out of the river ? gus : that 's the one . alan : i thought we had settled this . gus : we did settle this , it 's just that alan : then what 's the problem ? gus : i looked into it a little further and turns out that you were the one that filed the police report . but there is n't a problem . alan : i do n't see a problem . gus : there is n't a problem at all , i just find it interesting that you managed to forget the police report . bill : sounds like something my dad would have done back in his drinking days . alan : i was n't drunk , i just do n't remember , that 's all . gus : it 's fine , i believe you . alan : well , i hope we can put this to rest then . gentlemen , i 'm sorry , but i have to run . and thanks for the pen . bill : guess you touched a nerve , huh ? gus : guess i did . buzz : ed , ed ? alan : what 's the matter ? buzz : michelle might have met up with the letter writer , ed was following her . alan : where ? ed : you did n't lose the connection , i hung up . okay , look , guys , i ca n't do this any more . buzz : ed . ed : no , i really ca n't . what do you want me to say ? i quit . all right , i quit . i quit , i 'm calling it quits ! alan : the hell you are ! eden : tony , back off ! tony : eden , you ca n't go to bill with this . eden : if i asked him directly if the mob was involved , bill would tell me . tony : not if the answer was yes . ' forget his neck , he 'd want to protect you . what you do n't know can not hurt you . eden : and i refuse to believe that bill is involved with the mob . tony : what if he is , do you want to give him the heads up that we 're onto it ? eden : and what if this is a setup ? i 'm just supposed to sit back and do nothing ? that would suit you just fine . tony : how many times do i have to tell you that i do n't have to come between you and bill to have you , okay ? forget it , that 's not the point , the idea is to find out what 's going on at lewis . if you want to help bill , i do n't think you 'd have a problem if the shadow is wrong about it . eden : you know i 'll do anything to prove that . tony : okay , then you do what i tell you to do . eden : fine . tony : now , `` follow the crumbs , `` in my mind , means we have find out what 's going on , we have to check the files , contracts , permits , personnel files , everything , we need to get in that office . you know , we do n't , you do . eden : you love this , do n't you ? tony : i 'm not playing games , eden , i 'm not . if the mob has gotten into lewis , it 's going to bite my cousin and i will not let him go down for something bill did . eden : all bill did was try to help danny get elected for mayor . tony : you prove it , then . you start with the crew list , bring those to me , from that point i 'll be able to tell who 's connected , all right ? job one : find out where the personnel stuff is . eden : i already know . it 's in a storage room right off josh 's office . tony : so you already know , get the keys . eden : and how am i supposed to do that ? they 're in bill 's pockets . tony : you call yourself such a bad girl , forget it . i will show you . let 's go . brad : you see i 've always preferred vail over aspen , that 's why i bought my condominium there . it 's very cozy , very private . alexandra : speaking of privacy , may i have a word with mr. green alone . brad : ca n't this wait ? alexandra : of course not . it really ca n't , it 's about the action on the slopes , you see it could be very dangerous this time of year , you could say avalanche season . woman : maybe i should go . brad : oh , well , good - bye . it was just a friendly conversation . alexandra : yes , and we know exactly how friendly you can be . i thought you and i agreed that you 're requesting to fly low and avoid alan 's radar . brad : i have done nothing to put myself in alan 's radar . i have learned my lesson . i have reconciled with marie , and i 'm a changed man . what 's the matter , are you jealous ? alexandra : oh , please . that was then , this happens to be now . brad : well , then , what is all of this about ? alexandra : this is about you buying drinks for alan 's once and future daughter - in - law , harley cooper . brad : she 's a friend . period . alexandra : if you really need a friend , darling , you just buy a hamster , they know how to run in circles . now what did you tell her ? brad : nothing . although , i must say she was terribly interested in you . alexandra : you did n't tell her that you and i were once ... oh , my god . is there not one thing you can keep zipped up ? brad : i 'm sorry , it just came out . there was no harm done , i assure you . alexandra : we 'll see . i can tell you one thing , though . if alan finds out what we 've been up to , i 'm not the one that 's going down , i guarantee you that . beth : you know what would make this night perfect ? if mindy was here , right ? we were the four musketeers . would n't it be great to have her here ? rick : yeah , but we should probably get going . it 's getting late . beth : okay . rick : i do n't have to go anywhere if you do n't have to go anywhere . are you in a rush ? beth : no . i do n't have to go anywhere . you 're going to get better , phillip . rick : you have to get better . we need you to get better . a lot of people working . beth : he 's right . the kids miss you . and alan . he 's definitely not himself these days . buzz : stop this ! stop ! it 's a waste of time . you know where michelle is , if there 's even this much chance that she 's meeting with the person who shoved maryanne caruthers in our face , you got ta tell us . ed : this is a nightmare . alan : ed , where is michelle ? ed : fifth street museum . buzz : that 's where marina lives . she could be there , they could all be there . jeffrey : a little chilly for an open air discussion . alan : yes . we 're just leaving . gus : better luck next time . you know , maybe alan would prefer to have his spaulding pharmaceuticals shipped by dog sled . bill : in some ways , i 'm a lot like alan . i do n't give up and i do n't take no ' for an answer . see you around . jeffrey : hey . what 's up with your old man ? gus : what do you mean ? jeffrey : well , i can spot a guilty conscience at 50 yards , and something is eating away at your dear , old dad . michelle : i just want to know how much more they 're supposed to suffer . carrie : that 's entirely up to them . marina : but they were young then , they made a terrible mistake and they 've spent their entire adult lives with this secret . carrie : at least they had an adult life , that 's more than maryanne ever had . michelle : but they became good men and went onto raise families , heal the sick , give people food and shelter , build up the city . carrie : and that makes up for their terrible mistake ? michelle : yes . carrie : redemption is not a mathematical equation . do any of these men seem at peace , do they seem in control of their lives ? no . they ca n't wish away the past , any more than we can . marah : okay , then what am i supposed to wish for ? carrie : wish that your fathers will find some way to redeem themselves , at least in their own eyes , before they are completely destroyed . ( noise ) carrie : quickly , quickly . bill : well , this is an apology for not meeting me . eden : i 'm sorry . i did n't get your call until after i got home . i am so sorry , baby . i hate when we get our signals crossed . bill : are you all right ? eden : no . i am in love . bill : well , i do n't know what to say . maybe we should get our lines crossed more often . something wrong ? eden : no . i 'm tired of waiting . you believe in me , right ? what we are to each other ? bill : more than anything in this world . eden : then that 's all that matters . and nothing can hurt us . bill : come here . jeffrey : thank you , just what the doctor ordered . gus : thanks . perfect . just listen . my feeling is that alan is just a little upset about his stolen car . jeffrey : that thing was in the river for nearly 30 years . it ca n't be that important to a man like alan spaulding , right ? or can it ? gus : i would n't have given it a second thought to be honest with you , except for the fact that somehow or another he managed to forget that he filled out a police report . jeffrey : well , it was a long time ago . gus : no , he 's not the type of guy that would forget or forgive anybody for stealing something from him . jeffrey : `` not the type . `` gus : what ? jeffrey : i 'm just thinking about you , about your type . 100 % cop type . now you 're working for spaulding . i remember when i asked you , when you were on the force , if your partner ever committed a crime , whether you 'd turn him in or not , and you know what you told me , you told me you would take him down . i think those were the words , `` take him down . `` gus : not a very good character trait . maybe i should give a little more loyal to the people who -- jeffrey : it 's just the wiring . maybe we 're wired the same way . gus : that 's not very comforting . jeffrey : if a crime has been committed ... gus : that 's where you and i differ . i never said -- jeffrey : i never said a crime has been committed , either . alan spaulding , somebody who is so scrupulously careful about protecting himself , he gets forgetful , it becomes mess , and i know that bothers you . ed : marina ? michelle ? alan : you fool ! why did n't you run in when you had the chance ? buzz : where did they go ? michelle : this is where you live ? carrie : from now on , we 'll always meet here . i think it 's much , much safer . the rings first please . marah : there are no clocks here . carrie : there 's no need for clocks in this room . in this room , time stopped , after that night on cutter 's bridge . michelle : you make it sound like some sort of a spell was cast . carrie : yes , you might say that , it is a spell . a spell that only you three can break . marina : next on guiding light ... danny : bill , he 's great , he 's doing a great job , we 're working really well together . why ? tony : you trust him , danny ? michelle : what are you going to do ? rick : i 'm asking dad to leave the hospital . sandy : you hurt marah , you answer to me .

carrie gathers the three young women , wanting to know if their fathers and loved ones have demonstrated any regret or remorse , now that they 've received the second letters . marah and marina reluctantly admit that the letters have only heightened the tension and the cover - up . michelle is the last of the three to show up . she must first sneak out of the hospital to avoid ed 's suspicion . but ed follows her , tormented by the thought that she could be with the person who had dredged up all the painful history of maryanne caruthers . at the same time , he hates himself for following his daughter as if she were his enemy . when he vents his rage at buzz and alan , they are less than sympathetic ; and they insist ed take them to where he last saw michelle . but when they get there they are in for a surprise . earlier , alan and alex discuss their concern with the `` right of succession `` at spaulding , now that phillip 's mental health is an issue . alan clearly sees gus as his heir apparent much to alex 's dislike . and when gus and bill demonstrate a shared enthusiasm for a spaulding / lewis `` relationship , `` alan seems to be getting his wish . however , gus remains determined to return to the police force - where his natural curiosity causes him to doubt alan 's story about the stolen car . alex , meanwhile , chastised by gus for not keeping brad green on a tighter leash , seeks brad out and warns him that his womanizing could very well cost them everything they 've achieved even though what they 've achieved has not been entirely by honest means . their meeting with the shadow does not convince tony or eden that bill has done something corrupt . but it does tell tony that if eden truly loves bill it 's up to her to prove his innocence . eden is appalled tony wants her to spy on her lover ? but tony points out it 's the only way to clear bill 's name . and by the end of the evening , eden is in bill 's arms , knowing that to help him , she must betray his trust .

tony : well , i mean for starters , he 's not blood . danny : yeah . true . okay , i trust him about as much i trust anyone who is n't family . but last time i checked , family was n't available . why ?

and it 's only a matter of time . jeffrey : hello ? anybody here ? shayne ? marah : oh , yeah ... i 'll go see who that is . hi . jeffrey : hi . i was looking ... looking for shayne . marah : yeah , i got that . he 's ... he 's in his room with marina and my mother and sandy . jeffrey : oh . well , good news travels fast . i heard he 's made some amazing progress . marah : what 's that ? jeffrey : oh , well , it 's something for him ... something for shayne . marah : wow , that 's really sweet of you . jeffrey : well , it 's just , you know , a couple of out - of - print baseball books , kind of a congratulations - for - getting - better type of gift , type of thing . but maybe it 's ... maybe it 's too soon . marah : for what ? jeffrey : for baseball . marah : no . you know , i do n't think so . we 've been talking about it and you know , it 's not good to give up on something you care about . you want to bring it to him ? you 're not coming ? jeffrey : no . why do n't ... why do n't you give it to him , okay ? i 've got to get going . marah : you just got here . you do n't want to give the present to shayne ? jeffrey : marah , marah , marah . i did n't know you were going to be here , okay ? your car 's not out front , so ... marah : well , it 's in the shop . so you 're just ... you 're going to leave ? it 's really that difficult for you to be around me ? jeffrey : sometimes , yeah . i really did n't come over here to try to make things even more awkward between us . i just came by to give shayne these books , so ... marah : ah , and you 've done that . jeffrey : yes , i have . so ... i got to get going . tell shayne i 'm happy for him . marah : i miss you . jeffrey : i miss you , too . but that 's the way it 's got to be . marah : and why is that , again ? i ca n't seem to remember . jeffrey : well , i have to remember for both of us , then . we 'll always have that night . but that 's all we can have . marah : and i still do n't get a say in that ? so that 's it ? we just go our separate ways , no looking back ? and you can do that ? no looking back ? all right . well , i guess things are n't going to change , so ... thank you for shayne 's present . jeffrey : marah ... marah : shh . cassie : okay , see , now is n't this better than going to the stupid office ? harley : well , you can tell that my client that 's waiting . cassie : oh , is it a big case ? harley : no , not that big . cassie : good . then you can take a little break . i never get to talk to you , you know . you and blake , you guys are always so busy . harley : well , what about you and your best friend olivia ? cassie : wow , you 're jealous . i like it . harley : shut up . cassie : ( laughs ) harley : talk . what ? cassie : oh . i do n't know . harley : okay , i 'm listening . cassie : all right . gosh , i feel so loved by you . harley : that 's a good thing to talk about . how is edmund ? cassie : he 's great . he 's wonderful . harley : well , okay . cassie : okay ? harley : i 'm happy for you . you seem happy . and if you 're happy , i 'm happy for you . cassie : why does everyone keep saying that ? harley : what ? cassie : why would n't i be happy ? i mean , edmund is incredibly wonderful . i mean , i know that 's hard to believe , but ... harley : well , maybe you 're just the perfect woman to bring out his wonderfulness . cassie : maybe i am . i told him i loved him . harley : hopefully that 's because you do . cassie : how could i not ? edmund 's incredible . harley : and wonderful . cassie : you know , he 's gone through a lot for us to be together . he 's worked really hard . i 've made him work very hard , you know ? i need to love him . i do . i 'm not one of those people who can go into a relationship and be half . you know , it 's all or nothing . i just ... that 's what i have to be . so ... harley : i know , i know . and i 'm glad that you 've moved on really , because i did n't think that you would after richard . cassie : richard 's gone , and he 's not coming back . harley : no , but ... cassie : i will never love anyone ... harley : of course not -- the way that you would love him . but there are different kinds of love . there are . cassie : and edmund and i have found a different kind of love . and i do n't care what anyone thinks ; we belong together , so ... bill : come on , come on . it 's shower time . eden : you know what will happen if i go in there . bill : i do n't . but i 'm hoping that maybe ... eden : you will never leave this apartment . bill : well , i do n't see the problem with that . eden : oh , you will not get your work done for danny , and danny will lose the election , and it will be because you took a shower with me . so , if you think about it , i 'm saving the election . bill : well , look at you . putting the election before everything else . maybe you 're the one who should be in politics , huh ? eden : i 'm in too deep . it 's you , not the election , that comes first . you know that , right ? bill : you okay ? eden : yeah , i 'm great . now you go take that shower , okay ? bill : yeah . you do n't want to come in ? eden : go . rick : dad ? ed : oh , geez . do not sneak up on people . rick : well , you 're a hard person to find , dad . ed : hey . rick : what ? ed : i got something for you . rick : dad , i told you i did n't need this . ed : i needed you to have that . that 's my blood alcohol test , and it came back clean , so you can call off the intervention . i got to go . rick : whoa , whoa . wait a minute . ed : you have your proof . rick : michelle and ... ed : you have your proof . what else do you need from me ? rick : michelle and i believed you when you said you were n't drinking , dad . we knew that you were n't drinking . we do n't need a piece of paper . ed : well , you have it anyway . rick : i 'm glad you 're not drinking , dad . but clearly something 's wrong . look , dad , dad , dad . i 'm not here to attack you . i 'm just ... i 'm very concerned about you . i 'm very , very worried about you , and so is michelle . ed : i know you 're just trying to help . and what i need you to do is to stop trying . rick : i ca n't stop caring . look , look , you said to us that you were overtired . i mean , michelle and i , we heard that , even if we heard it a little bit late , okay ? ed : i 'm trying to get a lot more rest these days . rick : that 's not enough , dad . it 's not enough . ed : what ? rick : pick a vacation , dad . you need a vacation . we got hawaii , great britain , ireland . you 're long overdue . ed : rick ... rick : dad , please . take holly . take holly . you know how long it 's been since you 've had yourself a good time ? ed : i know what you 're trying to do . and , you know , you do n't have to send me halfway around the world to do it . you 're trying to get me out of the hospital , the sooner the better . rick : you ca n't keep on going on like this . you ca n't . ed : like what ? rick : like what ? you 're screwing up , dad . you 're screwing up big time . ed : all right , look , what ... what i did to michelle , i will find a way ... rick : what you did to michelle is not going to happen again . we both know that , right ? what happens to michelle , what happens to any member of this family , stays within this family . but what happens here in this hospital is a different story . if i had n't stepped in when you were working on that woman , she would have died . ed : and i thank you for that . rick : you have a choice here , dad , okay ? you take a break , or you throw away everything that you 've worked so hard for , permanently . ed : having me back home is n't all it 's cracked up to be is it , son ? rick : you have to resolve this thing , dad , and get your confidence back . however you do that is up to you . but you 're not going to do it here . ed : do you think that i would stay here if i thought that i were actually a risk to my patients ? rick : well , sometimes when you 're as close as you are to these things , you ca n't see it . ed : but i do see this . i mean , i made a couple mistakes . no one got hurt . and it 's not going to happen again . rick : you ca n't guarantee that , can you , dad ? ed : if i had to , i could walk out of here in two seconds , yes . i have a few things on my mind . who the hell does n't ? but not enough to justify some kind of leave that would , i mean , let all these people around here , give them an excuse to doubt me . rick : one fatality . one fatality in your condition and you 're through as a doctor . you 're through . ed : well , the answer is no . rick : do n't make me do this the hard way , dad . do n't . ed : you 'd go to the board ? rick : if i have to . hey , dad , you 're the one who taught me everything about medicine . patients come first , right ? it does n't have to be this way . it does n't . ed : no , it does n't . see , i ... rick : what ? what were you going to say ? ed : just be careful , rick . i do n't forgive easily . rick : you know what 's funny , dad ? you do n't sound anything like the man who taught me everything . ed : you do n't sound much like my son , either . harley : well , this has been great , really . but i do got to get ... cassie : i know . i 'm sorry i 've gone on and on and on . harley : no , no , no , you did n't , really . no , really . you 're my friend . i love you . and , of course , you know , i will listen if you need to talk . you would listen if i needed to talk . cassie : i would . and do you ? i mean , is everything okay ? harley : everything is just fine . it really is . work 's good . the kids are good . gus is good . life could not be better . cassie : i guess we both have everything we could ever want . bill : okay , well , do n't wait up . i got to take care of some campaign business . then i 've got to do a little something with ... over at lewis . so , unfortunately , nighttime is the only time i have to catch up . eden : oh , and i thought that time was just for me . bill : oh . i 'll make it up to you . i will . eden : you do n't have to make up for anything . but if you insist , you wake me . bill : all right . okay . eden : and the award for girlfriend of the year ... did you forget ... tony : well ? well ? eden , come on . come on . eden : you know , bill could have seen you . tony : i just did . listen , did you get it ? come on . eden : yeah . and i have n't felt this low in a long time . so thanks , tony . tony : you think i want this ? do you ? eden : yeah , i think that if bill does n't turn out clean , you 'll be just fine . tony : well , you know what ? that 's where you 're wrong , eden . bill is tied to danny . if he goes down , so does danny . if bill comes out clean , maybe this whole thing amounts to absolutely nothing , all right ? or maybe it 's our mystery man 's idea of some damn prank , but we need to find out . you did exactly ... exactly what had to be done , eden . look at me . that 's what i like about you . in my book , that 's the difference between you and marah . you do n't go around drawing imaginary lines between right and wrong . you did what you had to do . eden : yeah , and marah knows the difference between right and wrong and i do n't . and thanks for the compliment . jeffrey : hi , sandy . how are you doing ? i hear shayne 's doing a lot better . sandy : yeah , he 's great . your interest in my family is really , really touching . jeffrey : you do n't seem too happy about that . sandy : yeah , i think you care a little too much . jeffrey : how 's that ? sandy : well , you 're going all out to get to know my family . showing up at the family dinners , the hospital , playing the good samaritan . while all the while , you 're really just waiting to make your move . jeffrey : my move ? sandy : yeah , your move . taking advantage of a girl half your age , sleeping with her when she 's already having a bad time . jeffrey : and how would you know about that ? sandy : because i do . not from marah , though . she 's covering for you . mr. o'neill , do n't mess with my family . jeffrey : your family ? sandy : yeah . jeffrey : you 're a big family man now , is that right ? sandy : yeah ! they need me to protect them from creeps like you . jeffrey : okay . sandy : i 'll simplify it for you ... jeffrey : please . sandy : ... jeffrey . jeffrey : please do . sandy : you hurt marah , you answer to me . jeffrey : so is that it ? what , is that all you got , kid ? sandy : yeah . i can back it up . jeffrey : yeah . i understand this is a confusing time for , what with your new family and all the rest that 's going on , and you probably need to lash out at something or someone . but i can assure you , you 've chosen the wrong guy . sandy : no , no , no . i 've got the right guy . jeffrey : okay , you want to play with the big boys ? sandy : yes . jeffrey : well , maybe i should give you some advice first , okay ? sandy : you know what you can do with your advice ? jeffrey : now , the advice is this . listen up . come here . the advice is you should go easy on the threats , okay ? because they do n't really accomplish much of anything , okay , except for showing your opponent how vulnerable you are . you 're going to do something ? you should just do it , kid ; you know that ? sandy : okay . jeffrey : okay ? sandy : mm - hmm . jeffrey : now , what did you accomplish just now , hmm ? besides giving me a little bit of information ? you love marah . it 's killing you because you ca n't have her . and neither can i . shayne : these are great . why did n't he stick around so i could say thanks to him ? marah : you know , jeffrey was probably busy . what ... what happened to sandy ? reva : he had something to do . he did n't say what . marina : actually , i 've got to get out of here , too . i have a class . marah : yeah , i am going to get going , too . and maybe tomorrow or later we can go for a little stroll in the park . shayne : can i have a little breathing room , please ? i 'm not superman . marina : oh , you are to me . marah : bye , squirt . marina : bye . shayne : bye . reva : well , it looks like it 's just you and me , kid . so what do you want to do ? let me kick your butt in one of those video games ? board game ? your choice . maybe you want to try a little exercise ? shayne : it 's nice , really nice of you , but i 'm a little tired , so i 'd rather just go to bed . reva : have i told you recently how incredibly proud i 've been of you since the accident ? every day , watching you since you woke up , facing the world uphill ; every day making your father and me so incredibly proud of you . i 've never seen anyone face adversity with such determination and maturity . it made me feel in awe . shayne : mom , what 's this about ? reva : i 've been watching you today , and something 's changed . and there 's just one word that comes to mind : quitter . tony : it 's not what i ... eden , you 're twisting my words , okay ? eden : i do n't think so . your meaning was pretty clear . when there 's a dirty job to do that requires no scruples and even less loyalty , i 'm you 're go - to girl , as opposed to marah . tony : i thought it was a compliment , eden . you 're a realist and i ... eden : oh ! tony : okay , okay . eden : just stay away . tony : okay , all right . eden : i just slept with bill here . he is who i 'm with , okay ? got it ? tony : fine . i got it . i 'm making an observation . that 's all , all right ? i do n't want to cause you any trouble . eden , i do n't . eden : yeah , like the trouble i caused you with marah ? you would have been riding off into the sunset with marah if it was n't for me sleeping with you . tony : you 're wrong . that 's where you 're wrong , eden . okay , marah and i broke up for many other reasons . none of them had to do with ... we ... we broke up because i had to . now can we please get back to work ? because with any luck , we 'll prove that bill is clean and that our mystery man is just playing games . so can we go back to work , please ? eden : fine . but there is another possibility . tony : okay , yeah , what 's that ? eden : just because bill is clean does n't mean danny is . tony : no , danny 's clean . i 'd stake my life on it . salerno : danny . danny : vinnie salerno . cassie : next on guiding light ... billy : i figure i 've failed you just about the worst way a brother can fail a brother . reva : you can reboot your whole life . how many people would love to have the chance to do that ?

eden makes a copy of bill 's key to the lewis office so she and tony can check out the claims of the mysterious person who insists bill is dirty . tony , questions danny about bill 's qualities and danny misinterprets , thinking tony wants to take bill 's place on the campaign and he is disappointed when tony sets him straight . later , tony expresses confidence that danny is clean as a whistle , danny receives a visitor to his office : vinnie salerno . reva 's at the museum when shayne is pushed by marina to work harder now that he can actually walk , and shayne surprisingly hesitates , not wanting to push too hard , too soon . sandy arrives and asks marah about her relationship with jeffrey , and she denies that there is one . jeffrey arrives on the heels of that and sandy observes their closeness figuring out marah was lying . sandy follows jeffrey when he leaves and confronts him outside company , putting jeffrey on notice not to hurt marah . jeffrey surprises sandy by telling him he cares for her but can never have her much like sandy . back at the museum , reva 's seen enough of shayne 's odd behavior during the day to call him on it by day 's end : is he a quitter ? rick tells michelle he 's going to try to convince ed to step back from his hospital duties , at least until whatever it is that 's obviously eating at him passes . michelle ca n't reveal what she knows but reluctantly endorses rick 's plan . it backfires when ed reacts in anger , and demands to know if rick intends to go over his head . rick says he just might . it ends contentiously between the two men , neither comfortable with how fast things are spinning out of control .

[ scene_break ] mel : you know , i wish i could give you an easy answer , but there is no guarantee on how a kid will turn out , or who your kid will be . mallet : all right . so it 's just kind of a roll of the genetic dice ? mel : yeah . you can get an einstein or a mozart or not . you know , but is n't that the fun of having kids ? the great unknown ? the hope ? the surprise ? mallet : right . so even if a kid has your chromosomes , he can still decide to grow up and hate your guts . mel : pretty much . so if this is at all too risky for you , i think you should stop shopping for those minivans right now . mallet : uh - huh . is this the doctor talking or the lawyer ? mel : it 's neither . it 's a mother . because , um ... having kids changes everything .

reva & josh investigated the threatening phone calls by visiting annie at the institution . she acted like she was married to josh and lives in a room that looks just like his study . they thought she was completely loony and believed that she 's not able to make the calls , which scared reva more . marah admired tony for his life knowledge and said she wants to quit school , but he told her that he 'd better not because he just started taking classed himself . he had a friend check into the calls and found out that they can be made to look like they 're coming from anywhere in the world , as long as this little modem - like box is in the vicinity , so they planned to look for the box at reva 's home . alexandra was distracted while edmund chatted to her , worried about some big family secret and how philip and alan are fighting instead of getting along . she got a visit from a mysterious man who tried to blackmail her for more money . alan told olivia and philip that he should have trusted and believed in them all along . he burned the prenuptial agreement and said that olivia is free and will have all her money and accounts back . he left the room and philip laughed that he was putting on a big act . olivia was very confused and did n't know what to believe . after philip pressured her to tell alan about their night together , she fled the mansion . harley and blake shared some oreos ; blake said she wanted to try being a businesswoman again .

harley : jeffrey ? it 's me . jeffrey ? wow , this place sure is dusty . could use a little tidying up . jeffrey : find what you 're looking for ? harley : would you believe i was tidying up ? jeffrey : no . harley : i 'm sorry . i was snooping . jeffrey : mm - hmm . harley : it 's just there 's still so much i do n't know . jeffrey : ever try asking ? harley : you would lie . jeffrey : probably . you 'll learn more when i want you to learn more . besides , there 's nothing in here you 're going to find , anyway . harley : how do you know i have n't been poking around here before ? how do you know what i 'm doing when you 're not listening ? jeffrey : oh , i know . trust me . i know . reva : shayne , just listen to me , please . shayne : why ? why ? so you could call me another name ? reva : i did n't call you a name . shayne : oh , no ? that was n't you a minute ago calling me a quitter ? josh : you called him a quitter ? reva : no . i did n't call him a quitter . i said i was confused because he 's never been a quitter , but he 's acting like one now . shayne : oh , and since i did n't go stanford like you wanted me to , i 'm too stupid to know the difference between the two . reva : oh , shayne , please . josh : okay , okay . time out . time out . can somebody just start from the beginning and fill me in ? reva : if i could go first . shayne : oh , yeah go ahead . you 're just going to try to get out of what you said . reva : i told him that i 've been watching him all day . shayne : yeah , all day . all day ? my first real day back from the hospital . and what ? i ca n't sit in my chair ? i ca n't be tired ? rest ? reva : being tired is fine . as long as that 's all that this is about . but i just get the feeling that you 're feeling , i do n't know , overwhelmed . that everything 's happening a little too fast . you have all these people throwing out all these ideas about what you should be doing when you can walk again . i mean , you 've had a lot of disappointments up to this last surgery . and maybe there 's a part of that that you do n't trust . that maybe now that you 're on the verge to getting everything back , you 're afraid something 's going to happen . josh : there 's nothing wrong with that , son . and it certainly does n't make you a quitter . shayne : if i had n't flipped out by now , what did you think ? that maybe i would n't okay , maybe i 'm a little scared . blake : oh , that better not be a belated pre - nup . ship has sailed , hubby . ross : a prenuptial , oh , no . perish the thought . now this is a report that i commissioned from an election consultant . blake : oh . handy tips on how to win , hmm ? ross : well , according to them , it 's going to be a little more involved and lot more unpleasant than i thought . they say i should hit danny hard and keep on doing it . starting with who he is . blake : the fact that he 's a santos ? ross : mm - hmm . i say i should never refer to him as anything but mr. santos . blake : why not skip the formality and just call him a mobster ? come on , ross , you ca n't spend the entire campaign dragging him through the mud . ross : blake , it 's politics . blake : it 's a smear campaign . i know all about them . would n't you rather win on the merit of your ideas ? ross : i gave up the chance to serve in public office once before when i was elected to the senate . whatever it takes , i am not going to give up that opportunity again . salerno : nice office , daniel . you 're going to keep it after you move into city hall ? danny : i have to win the election first . salerno : oh . that technicality . danny : ross marler would disagree . salerno : no , he does n't know what we know , does he ? danny : you want to fill me in , vinnie ? what do we know that ross marler , does n't ? salerno : that you 're a better man for the job . certainly the voters of this fine city realize that . and if they do n't , i think they can be persuaded come election day . danny : you 're the one who wanted this meeting . what do you want ? salerno : i 'm in town on some unfortunate business . i was looking for a little wind before i leave . danny : seeing me notches you a wind ? salerno : it 's a little territory beef with angelo bruzi . danny : yeah , it 's always about territory with him . what do you want me to do ? you can handle him . salerno : i explained my point of view , but the guy 's got a head like a concrete block . i know a situation like this is the least of your worries right now . you 're on your way to becoming mayor . you 're going to find all sorts of things making their way across your desk . i made it out to cash . danny : that 's a lot of zeros . salerno : like i said , the voters of the city need to know how qualified you really are . that takes money . danny : yeah , it does . but not yours . blake : fine . you hammer home danny 's former connections in all your speeches . i 'm sure it will do exactly what your consultants predict . but for every time you say `` santos , `` you better have five concrete ideas about how you would make a better mayor . otherwise you 're going to lose a bunch of votes -- including mine . ross : hey , hey , hey . easy , mrs. marler . i never said that i was going to get to city hall by trashing danny santos . all i said was that i 'm not anxious to lose . blake : but i think you can win with your smarts and your platform and your crackerjack campaign staff . ross : oh , that 's the more important topic of the day : you . blake : what about me ? ross : there 's not really a tactful way to say this , so i 'm just going to throw it out there . blake : you know what ? i do n't even want to hear it . ross : you have become a jack of all trades and a mistress of none . blake : yeah ? careful . ross : you have gone from being a novelist to an investigative reporter to an internet minister to a radio host , and you 've done all this in about three years . blake : this coming from a man who redefined the popular notion of a mid - life crisis ? ross : careful . this is not a complaint . blake : it sounds like one . ross : no , no , no , no . it is a job offer . i need you , blake , to have one more career : campaign manager . honey , help me win this election . you know , all great leaders have always had great spouses at their side . james madison had dolly . fdr had eleanor . blake : hillary had bill . you know , in that laundry list of jobs you just rattled off , you forgot the most recent and the most important one : my work with harley 's angels . ross , honey , i want you to win and i will do anything i can to support you . ross : but not at the expense of your work with harley and mel ? blake : hire a pro . ross : yes ... blake : somebody who has a track record , who can win an election . ross : oh , i want a campaign manager i can sleep with . blake : ( laughs ) ross : you 're not really turning me down , are you ? i can beg . i 'm not too proud to beg . i can do that . blake : baby , i will straighten your tie , i will hand you babies to kiss and i will stand beside you and i 'm looking like the perfect potential first lady of springfield . but do n't ask me to quit my job . honey , i know you . i know you . you just want to rein me in , keep me under your wing , make sure that what we have sticks . but do n't you worry . what we have , let no man -- or woman -- tear asunder . ross : all right , i understand . that 's good enough for me . i 've got to get going ; i have an appointment . blake : where are you going ? ross : i 'm going to go see my opponent . i 'm not going to trash him in the press , but i am going to challenge him to a debate . harley : i still have a lot of questions that you are going to have to give me the answers to ... jeffrey : you 're going to get your answers , okay ? why do n't you concentrate on brad green first and worry about me next ? harley : i 'm working brad green . jeffrey : well , maybe he 's working you . did you ever think about that ? the guy 's smart , he 's intuitive . harley : he 's turned on by the possibility of getting caught because he does n't think he ever will . jeffrey : he 's in love with the risk . harley : that 's why he 's into me . i mean , other than my fabulous good looks . yeah . he knows i 'm an ex - cop . i 'm in a high - profile engagement to a detective who also happens to be a spaulding . you do the math . jeffrey : how 'd the breakfast go ? tell me about the breakfast with him . harley : you 're my all - seeing , all - knowing handler . just listen to the tape . jeffrey : well , i 'd like your take on it first , if you do n't mind . it 's called a debriefing . now , would you get to it , please ? harley : i played him the way that i usually do , and he played the perfect gentleman . we 're both playing each other . jeffrey : all right . you shake it , you get him interested and then you know what you 've got to do . brad : ( chuckles ) you 're not the feminist type , are you ? harley : excuse me ? brad : someone uncomfortable with a gentleman ? harley : is that what you are ? brad : we 're a dying breed . harley , we 're going to have to keep meeting each other . harley : how many times have you used that line ? brad : just once . but the day is still young . jeffrey : so , what 's with the musical chairs ? harley : i 'm afraid of what i might catch if i get too close to the guy . jeffrey : it 's your job to get close to him . harley : gaining his trust and confidence is my job . brad : beautiful skin . harley : i do n't like dangerous games , brad . _ brad : i do . i 'm quite good at them . _ harley : well , prove it . do you know the meaning of the word `` discretion `` ? jeffrey : you could n't even let the guy hold your hand ? harley : was i hired to be a slut ? let 's get a few things straight ... look , you 're the one who thinks brad green is so damn smart . you think he 's looking for someone easy ? _ harley : you 're very attractive . _ brad : i know . harley : and i know you know . brad : but do you know how i feel about you ? harley : i think i know how you feel about women in general . brad : but you ... you are quite unique . harley : well , obviously you feel that way , or you would n't be bothered with me . but perhaps you could try to disguise the thrill that you feel being able to breathe down the neck of a spaulding fiancée . brad : or you 'll lose respect for me ? _ harley : i wo n't if you 'll be real . _ brad : real ? harley : brad , i 've done some things for you and you 're grateful and we 're becoming friends . but we 're both adults . we know what happens as friends get closer . do i know how you feel about me ? i would say you find me challenging . _ brad : is this heading for a colossal `` no `` ? are you about to tell me i stand no chance with you ? _ harley : you have no idea how hard you would have to work for a chance with me . i 'm going to have the monte cristo . you ? _ brad : would it be forward of me if i told you right now that the only thing i 'm loving is your attitude toward me ? _ _ harley : honesty . that 's a start . _ jeffrey : that actually worked ? harley : some men -- powerful men , especially -- sometimes like to be put on a leash . brad green is now on mine . and as a bonus , it 's driving alexandra spaulding crazy . alexandra : oh ... you are being very quiet again . buzz : you 're ranting . alexandra : i 'm only asking questions that happen to be pertinent to my life , and so it involves your daughter harley . but look , look , it 's me . i know when things are off - kilter with you . buzz : i have issues on my mind which i am not prepared to share right now . alexandra : you 're sure ? buzz : yeah . alexandra : well , then enough about you . buzz : okay . alexandra : back to me . why is harley asking questions of brad green ? buzz : you keep throwing me that ! i do n't know . maybe there 's a follow - up to a case that somehow mr. green was involved in , you know ? alexandra : well , i doubt it , because the only thing she 's been asking about is me . shayne : i 'm not a quitter . i just do n't know what 's going to happen . i mean , i know what i was wishing for and what i 'm wishing for now : to get out of this chair . and now it seems like it might actually happen . and then what ? what do i do ? you know what i 'm talking about . josh : is this about baseball ? shayne : sort of . josh : you 're wondering what you 're going to get back , or whether or not you 'll ever be able to take the mound again ? is that it ? because i 'll tell you what my first thought is : you 're going to find out that your talent has n't gone anywhere . son , you were born with an amazing gift . whether or not you 'll be able to ... your body will be able to relearn the things that it used to do so naturally , i do n't know . will you be a dominant player again ? will you ever play at the level you used to ? will you be major - league material again ? i do n't know . reva : joshua , i thought that we , um ... josh : those are the questions that are going on in your mind , right ? shayne : yeah , pretty much . josh : i 'll tell you this : if you want to get going on baseball again , i will help you . if somewhere in the back of your mind , you 're thinking that you 'll never be as good as you used to be , i think you should try anyway , but i do n't think that 's what this is about , son . let me ask you another question , okay ? are you afraid to try because you think that somehow i 'll be disappointed if you do n't do well ? i 've learned my lesson , shayne . i 've learned my lesson in the hardest way possible . nobody 's expecting you to go into a phone booth and come out wearing a red cape , least of all me . i will never be disappointed in anything you choose to do with your life , as long as you do it the best you can . no matter what it is , whether it 's baseball or anything else . i will respect your choices . i will be behind you no matter what you decide . reva : me , too . josh : your life . it 's your choices . shayne : i just wish i knew what i wanted . reva : shayne , sweetie , you do n't have to know right now what you want to do with your life . josh : it 's not a bad thing . one more piece of advice , though . listen to your heart . cultivate who you are , figure out what right and wrong means to you and stick with that . you see , there was a time when i was just about your age , maybe a little older , that i had a very important choice that i had to make . and i let somebody else make it for me . and i have regretted that decision ever since then . shayne : this is n't about baseball anymore , right ? josh : no , it 's not . and if i thought that telling you about it would somehow ... that somehow i could go back and fix it by doing that , i would do that . but i made the mistake and i 've learned to live with it . i 'm just trying to say to you that you 're going to make mistakes in your life , but they 'll be a lot easier to deal with if you know that you 're the one that made the choices in the first place . ( cell phone ringing ) josh : i 'm sorry . it 's your uncle billy . i 'll be right back . where are you ? billy : i 'm at towers and i 'm just about to have myself two fingers of bourbon , josh . josh : what ? billy : how soon can you get over here ? josh : i 'm on my way . billy : i 'm waiting for somebody . i 'll order when they get here . josh : um , i have to go and i 'm sorry about that . but i want you to know that no matter what you do , whatever you decide , i 'll be there for you . okay ? shayne : yeah . reva : josh ? wait a minute . what is going on ? does this have something to do with whatever it is that 's eating you ? josh : reva . reva : no , because something is . i mean , we both know it . josh : i ... i have to go find billy . danny : you might think that our previous association entitles you to certain considerations . salerno : i was hoping . danny : you thought wrong , and you 're wasting your time . this meeting 's over . salerno : you know something ? i think you need a refresher course in how the real world works before you take office -- at least our world . danny : vinnie , what i 'm gaining in credibility , you will never be able to buy , so get this straight -- salerno : no , you get this ... danny : no , get this : danny santos is not for sale ! i think we 've said all we need to say , do n't you ? salerno : it 's your call , danny . make sure you 're making the right choices . ( knock at door ) danny : ross . ross : um ... danny : hey . hi . ross : bad time ? danny : no , not at all . salerno : ross marler . ross : yes . salerno : how you doing , counselor ? ross : good . vincent salerno , is n't it ? salerno : my reputation precedes me . ross : on a national basis . danny : now , i saw you try to hide that little double - take you just made when i opened the door . i 'm sure with vinnie being here and with me being who i 've been , it looks like it could be a good parlay for you . ross : if i were running that type of campaign , which i am not . so , if you and mr. salerno have business to discuss ... danny : no , no , no . we do n't . we do n't . we never will . salerno : not yet . danny : not ever . so long , vinnie . come on in , ross . ross : thank you . danny : so , what are you going to do ? ross : you know , danny , you ca n't run from your past , but judging how you got rid of vinnie the fox , it does n't look like he 's part of your present . danny : he 's not . so , are you going to go to the press with this ? ross : no . danny : what can i do for you ? ross : i 'm here to propose a debate . danny : debate ? wow . why am i not surprised ? debate is what you do , as a lawyer in the courtroom , at least . i 'm sure you 'll have no trouble coming across as a seasoned professional . ross : ( laughs ) `` seasoned professional . `` that 's a euphemism for insider , i take it ? is that what i have to look forward to in this campaign ? mr. insider versus man of the people ? danny : no . i think a debate is a terrific idea . i do . let 's hammer out the details now . we can do that or i can have bill call your office . there he is . bill : hello . ross : bill . bill : ross . here to concede ? ross : concede ? you 're a funny guy . bill : no , i 'm serious . somebody made a huge media buy this morning . ross : really ? bill : yeah , and my contacts have told me how much money you spent . ross : okay . bill : i do n't know , ross . your campaign is less than a week old and with contribution limits what they are , there 's no way you can have that much money on hand . so , ross , i know you want to win this thing , but i did n't think you would actually break the law to do it . buzz : so harley 's asking about you . i do n't see how that matters much ! alexandra : asking questions of brad green , yeah . buzz : a well - known rat - fink . big deal ! come on . alexandra : why is she asking these questions , anyway ? what the devil does she hope to gain ? buzz : i do n't know what she 's working on . i do n't know . maybe it 's about me . alexandra : why would she be asking questions about her very own father ? i ... buzz : well , she 's known you for a while . she knows we 're an item . maybe she 's being overprotective . maybe she does n't have a clue what you were up to in europe and obviously this mr. green does , so maybe she wants to get a line on the woman that her old man is dating . alexandra : oh , if my life were ever that easy , it would n't be my life . harley : alexandra got all bent out of shape when she found out that i was pumping brad for information about her . jeffrey : how did she find out that you were checking her out ? harley : brad told her . jeffrey : he told her ? harley : you and i know that we 're investigating brad , but he does n't . he probably did n't think twice about telling alexandra anything . now alexandra thinks that i 'm asking about her , which puts brad off knowing that i 'm trying to get stuff on him . jeffrey : the old bait and switch . harley : yes . jeffrey : works every time . harley : and the best is brad 's theory about why alexandra 's upset . he thinks she 's jealous . jeffrey : of you ? harley : those two used to have a thing . jeffrey : so brad slept his way to the top . imagine that . harley : that is so male . see , trust a man to always think it 's about him . alexandra : just because your daughter is asking questions about brad green , that does n't mean it has anything to do with you . buzz : i do n't see how it matters much one way or the other . alexandra : no , no . i think it does ... buzz : listen , i told you my theory and that 's all i got . if you 're so damn interested in what harley thinks , why do n't you just stop speculating and go to the source ? you know , cut to the chase , follow the money . whatever cliché works for you . alexandra : ( sputtering ) what in the world is bothering you ? buzz : darling , what you need to do is call my daughter , ask her to lunch and then ask her what 's what . alexandra : ( laughs ) do you see this awful grimace coming over my face ? you ca n't be serious . jeffrey : i 'm serious . i want you to invite her to lunch . call her and invite her to lunch . see if you can get more on her than this jealousy angle . harley and alexandra : lunch ? harley and alexandra : with that woman ? harley and alexandra : i 'd rather chew glass . jeffrey : i do n't think i need to remind you what 's at stake here , or do i ? harley : no . jeffrey : this corruption at spaulding , it runs deep , okay ? and it could destroy phillip and it can hurt gus as well . alex is the link . how ? i do n't know yet , but we 're going to find out . and if alex gives us an opening , we 're going to take it . okay ? you 're going to have to call her . we 're going to fry more than one fish , here . harley : i will call . but my patience is wearing thin , jeffrey . ( cell phone ringing ) harley : i want some answers . surprise , surprise . it 's the dragon lady herself . alexandra : harley ! it 's alexandra . harley : alexandra . this is a surprise . i was just about to call you . alexandra : really ? well , that 's curious . great minds , i guess . well , anyway , i was wondering if you would join me for lunch . harley : lunch ? alexandra : yes . i mean , we used to be such good friends and so much has gotten in the way . harley : yes , it has . alexandra : well , this is a bit of a new year 's resolution . a little bit of personal housecleaning . harley : well , i have to say i 'm flattered . alexandra : well , yes . it could be quite liberating , do n't you think ? i mean , you and i getting past some things and starting afresh . i know it would make your father very happy . why do n't we say , well , how about today at the towers ? i have a standing reservation , there . by the way , what were you going to call me about ? harley : um , so funny . my mind is a complete blank . maybe i 'll remember in time for our lunch date . alexandra : oh , well , perhaps . well , harley , i 'm looking forward to it . harley : me , too . if anything happens to phillip or gus because of something you did n't tell me , i will never forgive you . reva : hungry ? i thought i owed you some of my homemade guacamole for calling you a quitter . shayne : mom , i know you did n't mean it like that . it 's just the way i heard it , you know ? because i ... i feel like if i heard it a different way , then i 'd be admitting something about myself to myself . i was n't ready for it . reva : did i ever tell you about my friend , cynthia lorre ? shayne : no , i do n't think so . reva : 34 years old , diagnosed terminal . doctors gave her six months to live . after she got over the initial shock of that , she prepared for the end . she was remarkable . she did all those things you 're supposed to do , you know ? got all of her paperwork in order , all of those things you imagine doing , but never really think you 're going to ever have to do it . she found the time to say goodbye to all of her friends and family . i ran into her one day , and she looked horrible . completely devastated . and i thought , ugh ... i assumed the worst , you know ? that she was going to die or at least that she was ready to , or that she 'd found her peace . shayne : so you got the chance to say goodbye to her . reva : i did n't have to . she told me she was in total remission . shayne : that was kind of a miracle . reva : she was handed back her life . shayne : so , then what 'd she do ? reva : what she said to me , i 'll never forget . she did n't know . she did n't know what to do . she said she 'd spent so much of her time preparing to die that she totally forgotten how to live . i just thought that might be something you 'd be interested in hearing . billy : oh , little brother , you have no idea how much i want that drink right now . josh : well , considering what we 've been dealing with lately , i can imagine . billy : yeah . yeah , i got this little voice inside of me telling me everything would be just a little bit better with one drink . josh : the question is , would that little drink be worth what you would lose ? billy : i 'll tell you , josh , i really do n't know anymore . josh : see , that 's why i 'm here , billy : to remind you that nothing is worth your going back to the bottle again . things are tough right now . we need you . billy : you need me ? well , who am i ? i heard you the other day , josh , and i think that i may just have lost touch with who i am , or at least who i was supposed to be , 30 years ago . ross : yes , thank you . that 's exactly what i thought . no , no , i 'm going to be at the office later , so i 'll see you then . thanks . bill , you were right . my campaign did make the media purchase that you somehow got wind of . bill : yeah , well , commercial time like that does n't come cheap . ross : no . this guy takes good care of you . you 're lucky to have him . bill : now , look , ross , maybe you 've gotten into something that you actually were n't even aware of . i do n't know , maybe you can blame an overeager staff person . danny : right . right , i 'm sure we could work something out . the state bar does not have to find out about this if we can come to some sort of agreement . bill : now , may i suggest ... ross : you 're like sharks with blood in the water . i do n't know if it 's arrogance of youth or just plain sloppy , lazy work , but if this is how you intend to run the city , i 'd better win for the sake of the people , do n't you think ? danny : ross , if what bill said is true , you violated two or three campaign statutes with this one media purchase . i mean , i do n't know what you 're thinking , but we ca n't just let that slide . bill : well , i 'm afraid we have to , danny . ( clears throat ) ross : a little slow on the uptake , bill , but i knew you 'd figure it out . bill : oh , is that right ? danny : figure out what ? what are you talking about ? ross : you know , the odd thing is , if you had made the exact same purchase that i did , you would have broken the law for spending money that you were n't allowed to raise . danny : right . but what ? you 're somehow above the law ? ross : no , no , no . actually , i 'm very much within it . i could ... bill , why do n't you explain it to him . danny : please . bill : well , the same law that puts a cap on our fundraising limits has a loophole big enough for ross here to drive his campaign bus through . danny : what loophole ? bill : he 's allowed to roll over any leftover money from the senate race he ran a few years back . danny : right . right . and i bet that money 's just been sitting around somewhere gathering a lot of interest . ross : there you go . for a long , long time . there is a lot of money in the war chest , and i can spend every penny of it legally , and i probably will . this meeting 's been very good because now i know that you guys want to play hardball , and so allow me to say , `` welcome to the big leagues . `` danny : what are you thinking ? bill : well , if the campaign comes down to who has more money to spend , we 're toast . reva : whatever you do , it 's your choice . we certainly know you 're brave enough to face whatever limitations life throws your way . the hard part is going to be seeing those limitations and being able to envision what you can be . shayne : but if i just give it all up and i just go in a completely different direction , is n't that kind of like me just throwing away my gift ? reva : you 're the only one who can answer that . but who 's to say you only have one gift ? whatever expectations you have , they 're the ones you set for yourself . what do they call it on the computer when you hit that button and it turns off and then it turns back on again ? shayne : that 's rebooting . reva : rebooting . you can reboot your whole life . how many people would love to have the chance to do that ? josh : all right , look . as long as i am here , you are not going to take a drink . billy : yeah , well , the problem always is when you 're not here . josh : stand up and look at me , billy . we are going to walk the streets together day and night if that 's what we have to do , but you are going to beat this thing , one minute at a time . and then one hour , and then one day . billy : yeah . yeah , i will not drink today . josh : you will not drink today . billy : and tomorrow ... josh : we 're not worried about tomorrow . it 's not here yet . we 're only worried about right now . billy : josh , let me ask you something -- and do n't get mad at me -- but , i mean , why do you bother ? i mean , really ? after all i put you through , after the mess that i 've gotten you into . josh : billy , there 's no reason for us to talk about the past right now . we ca n't change it . billy : josh , josh ... you know what this is all about ? you know why i 'm here ? i 'm here because i failed you . i did , 30 years ago . you were just a kid and you looked up to me . you hung with me because you wanted to have fun in the worst way . and everything that happened since then , it is my fault , because you see , i was supposed to take care of you . i was not supposed to let you get so involved in a big mess that some 30 years later , you ca n't even be the man that you are and live the life that you want . now , see , that 's wrong . no , i figure i failed you in just about the worst way a brother could fail a brother . josh : let 's get you out of this place . come on . alexandra : harley ? harley : alex . alexandra : darling , you look marvelous . harley : thank you . and you ... that lipstick has got to be from your new line . alexandra : you caught me . i 'm being a bad girl . harley : no , the shade is fabulous on you . alexandra : you like it ? i can get you lots of samples . harley : thank you . sure . waiter : can i get you ladies a table , or something from the bar ? alexandra and harley : absolutely . not fast enough . alexandra : next , on guiding light alan : perhaps even move away from springfield , and i 'll be happy to help you do that . michelle : you 're following me , buzz , and i do n't like it . it 's an invasion of my privacy . buzz : well , then you must know how you make your father feel , the way you 're treating him .

salerno pays a visit to danny and one thing is very clear : he supports danny 's political aspirations , because he thinks it will serve his interests . danny disabuses him of that notion by ripping up salerno 's contribution check one made to `` cash `` but as danny 's doing this he 's unaware ross is declaring his intention to win , whatever it takes : ross tasted defeat once before and is n't anxious to repeat the process . just what turning salerno away may cost danny becomes clear when ross lets danny and bill know the playing field is n't exactly level : the law allows him to use his unused senate campaign funds for the mayoral race , while danny faces strict limits on what he can raise . danny realizes : he ca n't win the money war with ross . reva is trying to ascertain what 's troubling shayne when josh arrives , and tries to help by putting to rest any notion shayne might have that josh is expecting him to return to baseball . but reva sees that shayne 's concerns go even deeper : if he gives up baseball , then what ? reva tells him to embrace the clean slate , and make something new of his life . as reva 's telling shayne this , josh has found billy , who 's so stressed about the secret coming out about maryanne caruthers that he 's considered drinking . josh talks him down but billy 's troubles go beyond that : he dragged josh into this , nearly 30 years ago , and he 'll never forgive himself for it . harley has another encounter with brad , who 's turning up the heat romantically . she escapes but has gained a tidbit : alex is not pleased about all the questions harley 's been asking . jeffrey advises harley to take alex to lunch to probe and learn what she can . harley would rather eat glass which , by coincidence , is alex 's same sentiment . but she , too , has realized it may be in her best interest to get together with harley and learn what she may know . so the date is set , and the only thing left to do is order the wine . lots and lots of wine .

[ scene_break ] jonathan : we should have got on that plane , tammy . tammy : we did the right thing . jonathan : sometimes doing the right thing is doing the wrong thing , you know ? how long is it going to take us to figure that out ? you saw lizzie when i told her i wanted custody . she freaked out . they 're going to come after us . tammy : the spaulding 's ? they should be afraid that we 're going to come after them . really , what do they have that we do n't ? okay , fine . but you know , we have a lot , too . jonathan : a lot , too ? tammy : i 'm trying . jonathan : i know . tammy : no more sneaking around or looking over our shoulders or running away , okay ? no one can break this up now . i 'm with you and sarah . what ? jonathan : it 's the judge from the case with alan over custody . i do n't know why i did n't think of this sooner . [ scene_break ] lizzie : you want what ? jonathan : an annulment . it 's not just for me . it 's for you , too . you need to get over it . lizzie : over what , our marriage ? jonathan : well , we never slept together . lizzie : we did too sleep together . how do you think we got sarah ? jonathan : not since we were married . lizzie : it 's not for lack of trying on my part . jonathan : i talked to a judge , the one from alan 's custody hearing . lizzie : what ? jonathan : he said that we do n't have to go through the court system and worry about lawyers and stuff like that ; that we can just sit down with him and talk it out , tell him what happened . lizzie : i wo n't do that . jonathan : all right , i 'm going to be with tammy either way . so either we get this done , lizzie , or we can do it the hard way . either way , it 's going to happen . i set up a meeting for 11 : 00 . lizzie : today ? jonathan : today , cross creek . can you be there ? lizzie : i still live there . what about sarah ? jonathan : what about sarah ? we could have lost her yesterday . lizzie : i thought she would be safe in the car . it was an accident . jonathan : accident ? you chose to leave her in the car . lizzie : i did n't choose to have my car stolen . jonathan : if you were so worried about being a good mom , if you were putting sarah first , would your little accident have happened ? 11 : 00 , today , cross creek . be there . [ scene_break ] tammy : can i bring you another cup of tea ? judge : no , thank you . your wife said she would be here ? jonathan : yeah , but she 's always late . it 's fine . tammy : we could call her again . judge : maybe you should just file a formal petition . jonathan : well , why do n't we just give her a few more minutes ? judge : i 'm sorry . jonathan : oh , come on . look , just ... she 's going to be here . she knows that she has to ... judge : well , we were about to give up on you . shall we get started ? now , there are a few things i want you to understand before we begin . now , if your marriage was wrongly entered into , the state has no reason of prolonging it . but in order to grant you an annulment , i must declare your marriage invalid . jonathan : and how does that work ? judge : the state finds several reasons that are grounds for an annulment . you must prove that those reasons existed at the time of your marriage . questions ? jonathan : no . judge : mrs. randall ? all right , the reason you 're asking for this annulment is mr. randall 's refusal to consummate the marriage , correct ? jonathan : well , the marriage was n't even real in the first place . i mean , we were getting threatened by her grandfather . lizzie ? judge : look , if there 's something that you do n't understand , some questions that ... lizzie : no , i understand . can i say something ? judge : of course . lizzie : when i first got pregnant , everything was so confusing . one minute i knew exactly what i wanted , and the next it changed , and i wanted something else . judge : that 's understandable . lizzie : but he always wanted her . that 's why he would n't sleep with me . he said his vows to me , but he meant them for her , his own cousin . are n't there some rules against that ? jonathan : lizzie , stop . lizzie : the first time they did it , he did n't even tell her that he was her cousin . how sick is that ? how messed up is that ? they want everyone to think that it 's okay that they 're together , but it 's not ! it is sick , sick , and in some states illegal . and now they want to rip my baby from my arms and just make this whole marriage just disappear , just make me disappear . and they want you to put your big , fat stamp of approval on it . you ca n't let them do this . it is wrong . everything about it is wrong . judge : i thought you both agreed to this annulment . jonathan : i think she wants you to think that i 'm a bad person . she 's right , kind of . i was . when i first got here , i was selling drugs . you can ask her . she should know . she was the one buying them . i mean , the only reason i came to this town in the first place was to get back at my mom for the crappy life i had , because she gave me up for adoption . tammy was the best part of the family , and i thought , what better way to get back at mom than to ruin the best one in the worst way ? everyone hated me for that , not just my family . but my mom stuck by me . i mean , the only reason i did the whole thing was to hurt her , and she was the one who wanted to give me a second chance . she was the last person i expected to ... well , you know , next to last . tammy saw something in me that she thought was worth saving , and i just wanted her to go the hell away . then there was the fire . lizzie : the first fire . jonathan : yeah , there was a few fires . i 'm not saying that it changed me , but there was something in me that wanted to save her . and i thought maybe whatever it was , it was what she was looking for in me . lizzie : fade in the violins . judge : let him speak . jonathan : you ... like , what happened next ? huh . my dad came to town . he moved here . he 's ... adoptive dad . he 's a jerk , mean guy . and he just could n't accept that i did n't want to be like him , you know , some deadbeat who hits his wife . tammy : and his son . jonathan : you can find all this in the police reports . he died in a boating accident . he deserved it , too . he went for her , i went for him . tammy : take my hand , come on . take my hand and this is over . you 're free . leave him . come with me . jonathan : and tammy was going to marry a guy who was almost as bad as my dad . lizzie : then fate threw them together . spare me . jonathan : i ca n't promise you much of anything , except this -- you will be the most important person in the world to me . number one . the only one . lizzie : who are we here for , you and her , or you and me ? jonathan : lizzie , there is no you and me . we decided it was going to be us long before you were involved . it 's not a big secret . lizzie : can we skip ahead ? her groom went off a cliff , and then they broke up , and then made up , and then broke up , and then made up , and then broke up , and now jonathan and i have a child , a family . jonathan : lizzie , it was one night . it was months before we got married . it was a mistake . the only good thing that came out of it was sarah . i mean , having to fight with her psycho grandfather , the marriage that we had to throw together to protect our child , everything that happened in your courtroom before sarah was even born ... lizzie : it was n't worth it ? jonathan : it was worth it , for sarah . but judge , tammy and i never would have broken up if we did n't think it was the best thing for the kid , and now we realize that it 's not . lizzie : you two do n't get to decide that ! jonathan : no , he does . bottom line , i love tammy . i will always put my daughter first . lizzie : i should have brought popcorn . judge : this case is a little more complicated than you led me to believe . jonathan : sorry , i did n't want it to be . lizzie : that 's my fault . could you take a little bit of responsibility , jonathan ? judge : i 'm going to have to consider all of this . jonathan : you ca n't just decide right now ? judge : well , the only thing i can promise you is , you 'll hear from me . what 's wrong , what 's right the answer is , nobody knows how long do we hide the secret dying to be told i 'm not afraid of what anybody has to say i say it 's our time can you love me will you love me with the lights on yeah , when the lights are on let the world see hey , let our love be strong and if everyone is watching us let them watch , let them talk just believe what we need is what we are we are we are we are we are . [ scene_break ] jonathan : every time i check my watch , it 's only , like , two minutes later . tammy : maybe it 'll help just to not think about it . well , why do n't we go get some air until he gets here ? lizzie : hey . jonathan : hey , you see him ? lizzie : hello . hello . hi . is this new ? jonathan : yeah . lizzie : it 's pretty . yeah , that 's right , my sunshine girl . sleepy , huh ? judge : hello again . jonathan : hi . lizzie : hi . hello , your honor . jonathan : do you want to get a table ? judge : no , i have just been informed about the incident yesterday with the baby . lizzie : my car was stolen . judge : with the baby inside . lizzie : we were in front of a church . judge : i think it 's significant that you did n't mention it earlier . jonathan : i 'm sorry . judge : no , no , no . i 'm impressed that you did n't use it , particularly in light of what your wife said . lizzie : we both said things . judge : he spoke about himself , and was honest about his shortcomings . you only spoke about him . lizzie : because i have less shortcomings . judge : maybe your influence on mr. randall has done him some good . tammy : he is good . judge : i am prepared to sign the annulment order . lizzie : well , what about sarah ? judge : well , sarah 's custody is a little more complicated . i suggest that you all retain counsel until i have time to review the facts of this case . but in light of yesterday 's incident , mr. randall will retain custody until this all gets sorted out . mrs. randall ... excuse me . miss spaulding .

dinah : i love being single . there 's so much time to think and reflect , without distractions or criticism . this is great ! no more wasted nights sitting through movies where guys in kimonos kick the stuffing out of each other . and the best part is i get both arm rests . yeah . more room for me and my jumbo bucket of popcorn . remind me , why did i think i needed a man ? well , there 's that . but who needs all of the emotional crap that comes with it ? not me . one , please . shoes , one of the few things in life that are better off in pairs , and i do n't have to worry about some guy at home making me feel guilty because i bought a few pairs in different colors or ragging on me about all the space i 'm taking up in the closet . the closet is mine , all mine . hello , people , this is springfield , not noah 's ark . i believe you do everything better when you 're single . i sleep so much deeper without an elbow in my face , and longer , since no one 's around to rip off my covers or my pajamas . being single makes me better at work , too . i 'm more focused . i can devote myself completely to the task . and why not be married to your work ? what 's a date anyway , except one hideous job interview after another . at least at work , you get paid . on a date , even if you do eventually hit on the right guy , he 'll only let you down in the end . i mean , sure , it 's always great in the beginning , but pretty soon you 're staring off into space , fantasizing . you imagine yourself moving into romeo 's dream house , having kids , growing old and happy together . and then -- bam ! -- before you know it , you 're holding a gun on romeo and his new girlfriend bambi . she 's always a blonde . now most people are terrified of being on their own . they it 's right up there with being torn apart by hungry sharks . or being buried alive with your cell phone -- only to discover the battery 's dead . entombed , solitary . your hearts so empty , you could -- nope ! i look on the bright , bright , bright ... the bright side . come on , i spent months in prison . i 'm not afraid of being alone . i 'd rather be chained to a wall in solitary confinement any day than be chained to someone like a.c. mallet . cutting him loose was the best thing i ever did for myself . now i can concentrate on what 's really important , like do i want a buzz burger or something else . actually , a buzz burger sounds really , really good .

( laughs ) you 're more beautiful than when i left you , you know that ? yes , you are . sam : just like her mother . olivia : so , were you good for your uncle sammy ? sam : she was perfect . we had a great day . she even gave me some ideas for the story i 'm working on . so , how did it go with phillip ? did you go through with it ? olivia : yeah , i did . i asked him to marry me and he said ... `` yes . `` oh , it 's okay . did you hear that , sweetheart ? oh , i know . but your daddy said `` yes . `` and everything 's going to be all right . mommy 's going to make sure of that . marina : are you sure that you do n't remember this woman ? buzz : yep . marina : caruthers . buzz : no , i got ... marina : maryanne . alan : now we made a choice that terrible night in our life . and it was the right choice . and you want to know what we should do now ? we should do exactly what we have been doing all along : keep our mouths shut . buzz : hey . i 'd ask you how lunch went with harley , but apparently it was liquid . alexandra : ( laughs ) your daughter does n't think we make much sense . buzz : to each other or to her ? what do you think ? alexandra : well , i do n't know of anybody who has more fun than we do . but then there 's this guy , he seems to be in a bottle . buzz : and who would that be ? alexandra : this guy , buzz cooper . i think you should let him out of the bottle . buzz : you 're right . alexandra : so , you 're going to tell me what 's wrong ? buzz : no , nothing . no talking . come on , let 's go . alexandra : what ?

( sighs ) yes , what ? jeffrey : what if the kings of industry were actually in bed with the mob for real ? gus : `` in bed with the mob . `` that 's kinky . it 's not exactly groundbreaking or anything . so , what , they 're going to take over the world ? jeffrey : no , they 're poisoning the youth of america . ( laughter ) gus : you 're serious ? jeffrey : yeah . gus : i 'm sorry . you 're going to need to be more clear , because i 'm not ... jeffrey : gus , the reason you 're here right now is because the trail leads to the desk of one person . guess who ? your father . michelle : okay , this is worse than we thought . they are determined to keep their secret at any cost . they 're meeting secretly . they 're planning a way to deal with us . marah : deal with us , how ? marina : and my grandfather and ed just volunteered this information ? michelle : no , they blurted it out is more like it . and buzz went on and on about how they have a right to defend themselves against their accuser . marah : and how are they going to go about that ? michelle : i do n't know , but i do n't want to find out . marina : they would never do anything to hurt us . marah : okay , what are we supposed to do now ? marina : i think what we have done is a better question here . i mean , i want to remember why we thought this was such a good idea in the first place , you know . i mean , there were a million warning signs . and we just kept right on driving . and how did we get here ? michelle : carrie got us here . and we followed her every step of the way without ever asking her what 's in this for her . i mean , she could have gone to the police . she could have gone to anyone , but she chose us . why ? why us ? marina : because she knew she could get us to do what she wanted . marah : what , are you saying that she 's playing us ? michelle : yep . and we 've let her do it . so far she has controlled everything . i mean , we sit around here waiting for her to come to us . well , i say we go to her . carrie : why , girls , it appears you have a visitor . michelle : come on , let 's pay carrie a surprise visit . marah : uh ... yeah , i do n't know about that . michelle : i think we 'll get more out of her if we catch her off guard . is it still open ? marina : yeah , let 's go . michelle : let 's go . alan : why could n't you just leave it alone ? gus : listen , o'neill , you have it in for my father ... jeffrey : i do not ... gus : you have from day one . yes , you do . you went from the missing car thing . now , you got this thing . jeffrey : you never bought that story your dad told you about the car being stolen . gus : well , maybe i did , maybe i did n't . but how do you go from the missing car to corrupting the youth of america ? jeffrey : i have n't connected all the dots yet , but i will . gus : okay , whatever it is that you 're talking about , though , my father is at the center of it all ? jeffrey : oh , yes . gus : okay , look , my father ai n't a saint . he does n't pretend to be , right . but he does n't want to rule the world . he just wants to rule his family . what good would ruling the world be ? what would it get him ? nothing . jeffrey : money , lots and lots of it . gus : oh , please . he 's got all the money in the world . and as far as i can tell , spaulding enterprises is very up front about what they sell and what they do . the bad girl perfume that they sell , for example , they 're using my sister as the spokesperson . i mean , if that ai n't truth in advertising , i do n't really know what is . and , look , i 've been around . i 've been around the offices . i do n't see any mobsters lurking around there or at the house . jeffrey : well , maybe big al will only let you see what he wants you to see . you ever think of that ? gus : what do you ... what do you want from me ? jeffrey : i want you to find the truth . you 're in the position to do it . just do me a favor , okay ? just do one simple thing for me . just go up to alan spaulding and ask him one question . ask him this : who is maryanne caruthers ? gus : who is maryanne caruthers ? jeffrey : you do n't need to know that . just ... his reaction is what 's important ... gus : i 'm sorry ... i do n't do things blind like that . you know more than what you 're saying ... jeffrey : just ... just ... gus : ... so just tell me what it is . jeffrey : if you 're right about your dad , what have you done ? you 've asked him a stupid question , okay . if you 're wrong about him , then come back to me and i 'll fill you in on the rest . marah : no carrie . michelle : great . so much for my brilliant idea . marina : actually , it is great . let 's have a look around . marah : that 's a good idea . michelle : okay , but we have to be careful , because this woman takes `` a place for everything , and everything in its place `` to a whole new level . so , if we move something , she 's going to know . marina : maybe not actually . i 've learned some tricks about this from my dad . michelle : great . frank would be so proud . marina : he would . maybe . hey , do n't ransack anything . if you pick something up , you have to put it right back where it was . that way she ca n't tell that we 've been here . anything in plain sight is fair game . there 's got to be something in here that can help us . help us figure out who she really was . hey , you break that lock and we break the law . marah : i do n't care . i want answers . carrie : clever girls . you dodged him just in time . oh , alan , alan , alan . how badly you want to find me . well , do n't worry , you will in due time . would you take me home , please ?

this is just about survival , that 's all . look , in order to win against a family like the spauldings , you have to out - spaulding them . that 's all i 'm doing . and , i promise you , underneath all this lying and scheming and secret keeping , i 'm still your sweet , uncomplicated , big sister . and i promise you , i promise you that very soon the world 's going to know emma spencer spaulding . right after mommy takes care of a few little details . oh , my baby . i love you . okay . alexandra : oh , buzz , what a day . this is more like it . oh , my lord .

michelle : we were only ... yes . yeah , yeah . we came here to look around because we realized that we do n't know very much about you . carrie : well , in my day there was a funny old fashioned thing called conversation . `` carrie , why do n't sit down and tell us a little about yourself ? `` michelle : well , we did come here to talk to you , but you were n't here , so our curiosity got the better of us . carrie : and you know what they say about curiosity . marah : it killed the cat ? carrie : oh , no , my dear . no , i think it 's impolite . michelle : you know we 're way past etiquette here with you , carrie . i mean we have a lot on the line . our families , they mean the world to us . and you ... i mean who are you ? carrie : well , temper , temper , my dear . michelle : but we 've taken your word over theirs and , see , all we really know about you is what you told about maryanne and that night . and we have no idea how you fit into all of this . carrie : well , i 'm not really very important in this story . but there is someone ... there is someone i would like for you to know : maryanne . frank : hey , jeffrey . i take it we 're going to be going to the same meeting ? jeffrey : hey , chief . frank : the one with mayor hamilton . jeffrey : you know , mayor hamilton likes to keep me away from his meetings , and i 'm just fine with that . frank : oh , well , i guess you wo n't have to be worrying about that too much longer , now will you , huh ? i wonder if ross is going to have you shave that off your face when he gets into office ? jeffrey : well , you know what ? that sounds like an endorsement . is it ? frank : absolutely . ross marler is a good man . jeffrey : yeah . well , i thought you were in tight with the bauers , were n't you ? frank : oh , well , yeah , the bauers , yes , but the santoses is no . i do n't think we should be having this conversation right in the middle of a lobby , do you ? jeffrey : oh . okay . sorry . suit yourself . how 's your father ? frank : what ? jeffrey : your father . how is your father ? buzz ? frank : my dad 's doing fine . thank you . jeffrey : okay . frank : actually , i would think you would know more than i would since you 're a regular at company these days . jeffrey : well , i have n't seen him very much . that 's all . frank : yeah . jeffrey : how 's everything with ms. matthews ? how 's cohabitation treating you guys ? frank : just fine . as a matter of fact , everybody right now , in my family , is fine . jeffrey : well , that 's good , frank . i 'm glad . say hello ' to darci for me , okay ? frank : yeah , i 'll do that . olivia . hi . listen harley told me . i 'm so sorry about the baby . that has to be about the toughest thing anybody could ever possibly go through . and to be alone ... olivia : thank you . thank you , frank . how are you ? how 's marina ? frank : she 's fine . olivia : yeah , good . frank : yeah . thanks for asking . olivia : i need to go , okay , because ... frank : olivia ? olivia : yeah ? frank : if there 's anything i can do for you , just ask , okay . olivia : thanks , frankie . frank : you got it . olivia : see you . oh , sam is right . i ca n't do this much longer . staff member : miss spencer ? olivia : huh ? yeah ? staff member : miss winslow 's been looking all over for you . olivia : did she say why ? staff member : there was a meeting with the governor and his staff . olivia : ( gasps ) the convention . are they still in there ? staff member : they waited awhile and then they went ahead . he was not looking too thrilled . olivia : you know what ? i do n't need the commentary , okay ? i ca n't expect to remember everything . i have a lot on my plate ! sorry . i will call her . i 'll talk to her myself . thanks . hello , mr. o'neill . jeffrey : oh , hi . olivia : hi . jeffrey : you know , please just call me jeffrey . olivia : oh . i was just hoping that you 're still enjoying living here at the beacon . jeffrey : well , if i was n't , i 'd probably move . olivia : ( laughs ) if there 's , you know , anything we could do for you ... jeffrey : you know , i found that when people ask me that question , it normally means what can i do for them ? olivia : how would you feel about giving out some free legal advice ? jeffrey : how would feel about giving out a free room ? olivia : maybe we could work something out . jeffrey : you know , i feel pretty generous today . so , i 'll tell you what , you put an extra mint in my pillow tonight and i 'll give you some free legal advice now , okay ? is that a deal ? olivia : hmm . okay . jeffrey : ask away . marah : wow , that 's her ? she was beautiful . carrie : yes , she was , was n't she ? and full of life and passion and ambition just like the three of you . and her father , oh , she adored her father just like you adore your fathers . michelle : how do you know all this ? and why do you have all these pictures of maryanne ? where are the pictures of your own family , your own children ? carrie : well , i have no family . i have no children . i 'm afraid i 've lived a very solitary existence . early tragedy can change you profoundly , you know . it can change the way you live and the way you feel about life . why , marah , did n't anybody ever tell you it was very rude to pry into other people 's belongings ? marah : is it rude that you 've been coming in and out of our homes ? was it rude when you arranged michelle 's furniture ? carrie : ( laughs ) oh , touché , touché , touché , mon cher . well , you 're showing some spirit at last . you almost remind a little of maryanne . marah : `` maryanne caruthers makes her debut into springfield society . the coming out bash was thrown by her aunt caroline caruthers of louisiana . maryanne and caroline are the only remaining members of the distinguished caruthers family . `` you 're maryanne 's aunt . you 're the only one left from the family ? carrie : yes . alan : this mid - life fling that you 're having is an embarrassment to the family , alexandra . alexandra : ( laughs ) that 's really funny coming from you , alan . at least buzz is age appropriate and he does n't want to bed my son . besides that , i heard you . alan : you do n't know . alexandra : something about secrets , oh , yes . alan : you do n't know what you heard . alexandra : yes , i think you 're afraid i 'm going to spill some of spauldings deep , dark secrets . alan : well , why should n't i ? your pillow talk has gotten us into trouble in the past . alexandra : oh , please ... alan : oh , come on , alexandra . you have proven over and over again that you can not take a man to bed without taking him into your confidence . including the most recent , a certain spaulding executive . alexandra : brad green . that 's a million ... million years ago . alan : yes , well , we 're still paying for it . i just hope that he does n't think silence is no longer golden . alexandra : well , he wo n't . hello . gus : hey . big al , can i talk to you for a second ? alan : well , sure . gus : it 's a little business . alan : excuse me , alexandra . problems at the office ? gus : no , it 's not spaulding business . it 's police business . carrie : you see , i was afraid . all those years ago , i was too afraid to go to the police . i was so young . i did n't think anybody would believe me . and the men seemed so determined to stick to their story . i think ... i think they were jealous of her . i think they were afraid of her . they envied her . they envied her beauty , her wealth . i was the only mourner at her grave . marina : at least she had you . carrie : yes , she had me . and here 's a picture . it 's the only picture that 's left of the two of us . marah : may i ? carrie : yes , of course . i was older than maryanne , but we were brought up like sisters . we shared everything , all of our dreams , all of our secrets , all of our hopes . but maryanne never realized her dreams . her life was cut short so suddenly . and i was the only one left . i inherited everything , the money , the houses and the memory of her death . michelle : so then you just shut yourself off from everyone and everything ? carrie : yes , i did . i went into a solitary life again . but i was always afraid that there would never be anyone that i can tell her story to . there would be nobody that i could trust -- that is up until now . jeffrey : you have legal counsel here for the hotel , right ? so , why are you asking me ? olivia : this is personal . it 's about phillip . i do n't know if you 're aware , but he 's getting treatment at ravenwood sanitarium . jeffrey : yeah , i am aware . olivia : i just ... i want some information on patients ' rights . jeffrey : patients ... you 're worried that the family 's going to take advantage of his current state , are n't you ? olivia : does his commitment negate his rights ? is he automatically declared incompetent during his stay ? jeffrey : is his commitment voluntary ? olivia : yes . so , would a decision that he makes while he 's in there hold up in a court of law ? jeffrey : what kind of decision ? olivia : does his signature hold weight ? could he , for instance , sell property or sign a contract or a will ? jeffrey : a will ? well , you know , a will has always the language in that contract that says about being of sound mind . but phillip has never legally been declared incompetent . so , in the eyes in the law , he would have the same rights as you and i . olivia : great . jeffrey : but there is a catch . any decision that he makes can be challenged . and considering his current position and who his family is , i 'm going to take a guess that there will be a challenge . olivia : well , not necessarily . jeffrey : what are you up to ? olivia : me ? no , i 'm just ... i 'm looking out for the best interest of someone i love . carrie : so you see it was fate . it was fate that brought us together . michelle : you helped fate along . carrie : oh , no , you moved into the caruthers house . and you two moved into the museum . you see , we were destined to meet . marah : how long were you watching us ? carrie : oh , for a very long time . you see , i had to be very sure that i could trust you . and , you see , i made a wish , too . i made a wish and it came true . i knew that i could trust you with the story of maryanne . marah : i do n't understand what you want from us . how is confronting our fathers ... it 's not going to bring maryanne back . so , how are we even helping ? carrie : well , if they are the men that you 've said they are , if they are so honest and noble and they 're such good men then they 'll tell the truth . and if they tell the truth , then all of this pain and all of this grief and this suffering , all of it will be over . marina : we should go . michelle : yeah . marah : yeah . michelle : i just want to congratulate you on a wonderful performance . alan : gus , may i remind you that you 're working for me now , not the springfield pd . i think frank cooper is as stubborn as his old man . gus : no , this has got nothing to do with frank , okay ? i asked him to keep me in the loop about your car . alan : that car was thirty years old ; it was found at the bottom of the river . it 's not the titanic . it was stolen . end of story , all right ? now , what have they found ? gus : look , for some reason , the da does not like our family , all right ? i 'm trying to cut this thing off at the pass . i ... alan : well , i appreciate your concern , but i can handle the da . i do n't need you to run interference for me , son . gus : well , maybe you do . maybe you do . alan : and why ? gus : maybe i looked into the records of this case , okay , and maybe i came across a very interesting clipping . alan : which is ? gus : a death record . did you know a woman named maryanne caruthers ? jeffrey : well , you know , i ... i am an officer of the court . so i would be obliged to report any crime or suspected crime . so if you 're planning on doing some sort end run ... olivia : no , no , no , no . there 's no end run . i mean , would i come to the da for advice if there were ? jeffrey : i do n't know . i do n't know you very well . would you ? olivia : phillip wants this as much as i do . jeffrey : well , you know what ? you 're a hard woman to say no ' to in any state of mind . olivia : phillip and i are in total agreement about this . jeffrey : and is phillip aware of what he agreeing to ? olivia : well , i got the all clear from dr. langham . he said that he 's rational and able to process and make decisions . jeffrey : well , it sounds like you have the good doctor in your corner . or should i say pocket ? olivia : like i said , i 'm just looking out for someone i love . jeffrey : yeah , well , if you 're going up against alan and alexandra in the process ... olivia : no , i never said that . jeffrey : i 'm not saying that you did . i 'm just saying that , if you were going up the dynamic duo , then it would be best to have your i 's dotted and t 's crossed , because they 're going to give you a fight . olivia : well , i 'm ready . and there 's nothing they can do to stop me . alexandra : million for your thoughts ? buzz : i thought a penny was the going rate ? alexandra : yeah , well , it 's inflation . your thoughts look pretty heavy right now . buzz : oh , you know , there was a moment we passed the interstate , i wanted to jump on that sucker and just keep rolling . alexandra : a little road trip ? buzz : the kind you do n't look back from , you know . alexandra : oh . well , you know , my dear , sometimes we all like to put everything in the rear view mirror , you know . but , then , you 've already done that quite well , have n't you ? hmm ? you came back here you built your life , your kids , your business . is it me ? all this restlessness . buzz : no . i had fun . i was n't sure i could have fun anymore . you gave that to me . alexandra : ( laughs ) buzz : you did . alexandra : anytime . anytime . alan : no , i do n't know her . gus : maryanne caruthers . she disappeared around the same time that your car did . alan : are you saying that she stole my car ? gus : no . i 'm saying that maybe there 's a connection somehow . look , this is a small town , you know . it was probably smaller back then , right ? i just figured maybe you knew her , maybe you ... alan : no , i do n't know her . gus : well , i would feel better if you could do a little research . maybe you could look into some of the old personnel at spaulding . whatever it is , i just got a funny feeling about this . alan : and your feeling is mixing me up with this missing girl , right ? what are trying to say , gus ? gus : nothing . i 'm probably barking up the wrong tree . i try to find the hidden meanings in almost everything , you know . ( laughs ) i 'll turn this thing into a full blown conspiracy before you know it . alan : ( laughs ) well , now , you do n't look like the type that would believe such nonsense . gus : you 're right . i 'm not . michelle : marina and marah were moved by your performance . you and i both know the real reason you brought us into this . carrie : my dear , i 've told you the reasons ... to bring an end to all of this suffering . michelle : yeah , well , i 'm not buying . you came back here for one reason : vengeance . olivia : next on guiding light ... reva : so , whatever it is that 's scaring you , whatever it is that 's keeping us apart , we can work this out together . edmund : what if a baby everybody thought was dead was n't dead at all ?

they left her to die . michelle : i know what they did . believe me , it upsets me more than you know to know my father was a part of that . but if you have a plan to hurt him , it 's going to have to happen over my dead body . rick : dad 's a danger to the people in his care . it is as clear and as simple as that , and i 've got to go to dr. grant about this . yeah , sure he may never forgive me , honey , but i 'd never forgive myself if he were to endanger somebody 's life . listen , i do n't have time . i 've got to go find michelle . okay , i 'll talk to you later . bye . reva : hi . josh : hi . reva : what are you doing here ? josh : i 'm just ... i 'm looking for ed , that 's all . we have some things that we need to talk about . what about you ? reva : actually , i 'm dealing with the reams of paperwork about shayne 's bill . josh : thank you . reva : so what happened with that crisis of yours ? josh : what crisis ? reva : well , you know , when billy called and you went rushing out of shayne 's room . josh : right . reva : is everything all right ? josh : yes . that was a business thing , and it 's fine . reva : oh , that 's ... josh : everything 's going to be fine . reva : okay . joshua ? josh : what ? reva : you look stressed . josh : i 'm tired , that 's all . reva : tired or overwhelmed ? you have that look like you do in the dream . josh : the dream where i 'm drowning ? reva : i 've had that image a few times since i told you about it . josh : yeah . you know what ? i wish that i could help you in some way to interpret that , but it really does n't mean anything to me . reva : you know what ? it just keeps getting clearer to me . you know , the water 's rising , and you ca n't seem to keep your head above it . josh : i get the picture . thank you . reva : i do n't know what you 're dealing with right now , but i can see the struggle in your eyes . please let me help you , bud , please , before whatever it is gets any worse . olivia : hi . i was just calling to remind you ... no , sam , you have n't missed a late - night feeding . it 's just that emma does n't like her bottle too warm , and i just wanted to make sure you did n't overheat it , okay ? i 've got to go . cassie : hi . olivia : hi . cassie : where have you been ? olivia : oh , the meeting . i missed the meeting , and i 'm so sorry . cassie : i mean , we held off as long as we could , but it was with the governor . olivia : no , i know . i know . i just ... i had something to do with phillip . i had to go see him at ravenwood . how was it with the governor ? cassie : great . yeah , i think we 're going to get the convention . olivia : well , that 's terrific . cassie : is everything all right ? you 've been so anxious to get back up to speed , and , you know , to miss a key meeting is ... olivia : i said i was sorry . it wo n't happen again . cassie : that 's the third time this week she has missed an appointment or meeting . edmund : that does n't sound like olivia . cassie : no , it does n't . i mean , every time i turn around , she just kind of disappears . no note , no nothing ; she 's just gone . edmund : any theories ? cassie : i 'm not sure exactly . but whatever it is , it 's serious . edmund : why do you think olivia 's hiding something ? cassie : because she lied to me . she said she went to go visit phillip . visiting hours are over at ravenwood . edmund : well , maybe she 's sneaking out to see another man . cassie : why would she hide that ? it has to be something else . edmund : maybe it 's still too painful for her to be around other people . cassie : maybe . edmund : cassie , the other day , when we were talking about the baby you lost ... cassie : oh , come on , edmund . i do n't want to get back into that right now . edmund : you had the very same expression on your face you have now . cassie : i do n't know . i mean , i guess you 're right . you know , people go over and over stuff in their heads until they , you know , imagine the craziest of things . edmund : crazy how ? cassie , please do n't . do n't push this away . the other day you were going to ask me something . you 'd remembered that i was in the hospital the night you lost your baby . what were you going to ask me ? cassie : i 'm just embarrassed to say it , okay ? edmund : do n't be , please . what ? cassie : i was just wondering if ... if you saw him . edmund : the baby ? no , i did n't . cassie : i did . he was in a room , alone , tiny , and still , and i just wanted to hold him . but the doctor did n't want me to . he said it would be too hard for me . so that was that . edmund : and you left ? cassie : yeah , and i never saw him again . and i just ... you know , i do n't know . i just ... when i think back now , i just ... my mind just wants to believe ... edmund : believe what ? cassie : you know , it 's just crazy . it 's like ... it 's insane and it 's pathetic , so ... edmund : cassie , you 're thinking your son may still be alive . josh : i appreciate the offer ; i really ... i really do . but i 'll manage . reva : that sounds like a prepared statement . what 's bothering you ? josh : well , nothing . reva : okay . well , then , can you at least tell me where we stand ? because i 'm confused . we have so many moments of getting so close , and then you hold back . josh : reva , it 's just ... reva : what ? what ? tell me ? josh : it 's pressure . it 's different kinds of pressures that i 'm dealing with . reva : `` pressures . `` josh : it 's ... you know what ? i do want to come home , and i want things to be back to the way they used to be . i want to do the right thing . reva : what does doing the right thing have to do with this ? no one 's accused you of screwing up . josh : marah has ... i 've been thinking a lot about marah and shayne lately , and how they look up to me and how they need me to be strong . they need me to be a good father . but there are issues that i 'm trying to resolve ; things that you do n't ... you do n't know about -- that you ca n't know about . reva : i know one thing . i know that you are a decent , loving man . josh : reva ... reva : and you have been since i was a little girl . so whatever it is that 's scaring you , whatever it is that 's keeping us apart , we can work this out together . josh : i 'll be okay . reva : we can beat this , joshua . love and trust . that 's all it is : love and trust . and we 've got it . we always have . josh : i have to go find ed . reva : do n't ... do n't do that . do n't keep shutting yourself off every time you want to open up . josh : i have to go . reva : all right . rick : dad ? so what were you in talking to dr. grant about ? ed : it 's not any of your business . charles : rick , i 'm all set for you . ed : going to talk ? rick : that 's right . charles : where 's michelle ? rick : she 's running late , charles , but i can speak for both of us . michelle : first you had to draw us in with those magical egyptian rings , that they have power to make your dreams come true . and then you started feeding us with little bits of information about this horrible accident . carrie : it was all true . michelle : but you did n't tell us the whole story . no , no . you set it up like it was a mystery that we could solve , and you kept giving us little clues so we 'd continue to investigate it . but all along , you knew exactly what we would find . carrie : well , i did n't think you would believe me . i thought you would have to find the truth for yourselves . michelle : you 're still doing it . see , you wanted us to come here and look around . you wanted us to find that newspaper clipping . carrie : everything i told you about that night is the truth . michelle : see , you know what i think ? i think you do want to keep maryanne 's memory alive . but it 's not out of love . it 's out of hatred -- hatred for those men who were in that car with her that night . carrie : hatred is an extremely ugly word , michelle . michelle : yeah , well , so is evil . and this whole mission of yours is evil . carrie : do you know how many times i 've watched those men ? how many times i 've watched you three girls without any of you realizing that i was there ? if revenge is what i wanted , it would have been very easy -- almost too easy . cassie : i know that my baby 's gone . i mean , it 's crazy to think otherwise . i know that . edmund : cassie , wishing your child was still alive is perfectly natural . cassie : i just ... i 've worked so hard to get that out of my mind , and then olivia 's ... well , she lost her baby , and all those what - ifs , they just keep coming back . i just keep creating these bizarre scenarios in my head , you know ? edmund : like what ? cassie : oh , like when i wake up in the hospital and the doctor tells me that my baby 's dead , he 's lying . he was whisked away , you know ? some kind of murky conspiracy to oust richard , deny him of his heir , strip him of his power , break his spirit , you know ? edmund : and so the infant you saw that night in the hospital room ? cassie : some poor little baby that died in childbirth , you know , laid out as proof that my baby 's dead . and richard and i walk in and we see this tiny little baby , and we 're devastated , and you know , we 'd never for one minute think that it was fake . i mean , we were just crushed , so ... crazy , i know . i know . i know it 's crazy . edmund : i do n't think so . your versions ... cassie , if you knew for sure that your child was still alive , all of this pain would go away , and i would do anything to make that happen . i 'm glad you told me all of this . cassie : well , stop me the next time i do , okay ? edmund : no , i do n't think i will . i know how important your children are to you . and if you want another ... cassie : there 's adoption . there 's surrogate motherhood . but i think i should hold at three . you know , my kids keep me busy enough . thank you . thanks for not agreeing with me when i said i was crazy . edmund : you 're right , i did n't agree with you . ( laughter ) edmund : but you 're feeling anything any mother would . charles : i 'm sorry about this room . my office is being painted . so i 'm assuming this is about your dad . rick : yeah , charles . as a matter of fact , it is about my dad . charles : rick , do n't worry . ed came to me long before there was any real or lasting damage done , so it wo n't be affecting his record , nor will it affect his status here at cedars . rick : so that 's why he was in here with you ? he told you what happened ? charles : yes . as far as the confusion over shayne lewis ' iv fluids goes , your father acknowledged his mistake and said it was caused by a delayed emotional reaction to shayne 's accident . it seems ed was even more upset about that than even he realized . that , combined with the general fatigue from overwork , combined to cause the confusion . rick : it was more than one incident , charles . charles : right . the near drowning victim ; the woman who 'd fallen through the ice . rick : so he actually told you about that , too ? charles : he did . he said the er team was concerned about how long it took him to begin treatment . rick : well , see , that 's my point , charles . he did n't . i had to step in for him . charles : i know you did . rick , listen . after the shayne lewis incident , ed was being extra careful with his other patients . now , what happened in the er was an error , but it was an error on the side of caution . you ca n't fault him for that . rick : so you obviously believe him , right ? charles : obviously . ( laughs ) there 's no need to defend your dad , because a : he explained everything himself , and b : there have been no complaints from patients or staff . rick : how 'd you leave this with him , charles ? charles : i told him he needed some rest ; to take a long weekend off and come on back , refreshed and ready to go . rick : that 's great . charles : right . rick , your father is a good doctor and a good man . so unless there 's anything else you need to tell me about him ... rick : no , charles . that 's it . josh : headache ? ed : yeah . who are you here to see ? josh : you . ed : ( laughs ) great . josh : yeah , i 've been thinking a lot about what the four of us , or i guess i should say the five of us talked about at company . ed : so ? josh : so i would like to think that you and i have the same take on the situation -- that we share similar values . edmund : what are you trying to say , josh ? josh : we 're on dangerous ground here , ed . alan was talking about getting rid of this person that 's been coming after us -- `` getting rid of . `` ed : you do n't like his choice of words ? josh : no , i do n't . not at all . it 's bad enough that we all chose to cover up a woman 's death 30 years ago , but enough is enough . ed : give us something new to regret . josh : you know something ? i would like to think that i have regretted that decision every day since that woman died . but the fact is that days have gone ... weeks , months have even gone by when i 've not even thought about it . so , on that point , our daughters are right . we 've just moved on with our lives . ed : you 're ashamed of that , josh ? josh : i 'm ashamed of what we all agreed to that night . ed : well , we 're certainly not innocent . josh : no , we 're not . but at this point , we 're not murderers either . ed : josh , our daughters could be in serious danger , so please just remember that when you call upon your values . josh : so you 're saying that you would go along with alan 's plan . ed : i am open to any plan that works . josh : really ? good . that 's a good thing . how 's this : we go to the police , we tell them everything . michelle : i 'm sick of your games , and i 'm sick of all your rules . it 's the three of us that have taken all the risks . carrie : that 's not true . michelle : we have all but wrecked our relationships with our fathers while you just hide behind the scenes , pulling the strings . it 's not going to work anymore . the notes , the old photographs , all the old dusty memories that you dumped on our doorstep -- you go use them on somebody else . carrie : i 'm not going away . maryanne caruthers is dead , and she is dead because of your father and his friends . this has got to be addressed . michelle : yes , i agree . carrie : well , then , you see , we 're not so far away after all . michelle : well , that depends on what you decide to do now . it 's your turn to go to my dad and the others . you confront them with what they did , and stop hiding behind marah , marina , and me . here 's the deal : you reveal yourself to them , or i will . ed : listen , josh , if it ever got back to alan that you were even thinking of going to the police , there 's no telling what he might do . josh : i am not afraid of alan . ed : maybe you should be . josh : so you think what we 're doing is fine , that we should just keep going on the way we 're going ? lying to our daughters ... ed : they are in danger . josh : that 's my point . that 's exactly why we should come forward . how are you going to feel if down the road at some point , that one of our daughters get hurt because we chose not to come clean about something that happened so long ago ? ed : all right , i understand . i understand . but we ca n't make an impulsive mistake . you 've got to just sit tight . josh : following alan 's lead and going after this person on our own is not exactly sitting tight . ed : you know , i ca n't ... josh : things are falling ... things have already fallen apart , okay ? the five of us kept this secret for decades . but there was a sixth person there , a witness that was there who , for whatever reason , has chosen not to come forward until now to put pressure on us . ed : so it 's a hell of a mess . josh : we come forward . if we choose to come forward and tell the truth now , we might have to face some kind of charges , but we also might beat those charges . ed : that 's a huge `` might . `` josh : ed , it was a long time ago . we were young ; it was an accident . ed : and she is still dead . josh : and that 's not going to change . nothing is going to change that fact . but we can change . we can tell people what happened , and why . we can clear our consciences . we can face our families with the truth . ed : and then what ? and then all is forgotten ? all is forgiven ? come on , josh ! josh : there 's got to be some way to fix this , ed . just help me out here , okay ? ed : well , going to the police is not the way to do it ! josh : why not ? ed : because we 've all got too much to lose . josh : can i get you something ? okay . if we could figure out some way to guarantee the safety of our daughters ... ed : the closest we come to a guarantee is what 's already on the table . josh : so you do agree with alan 's plan ? ed : oh , josh , i do n't know what i agree with . i ca n't think , so ... josh : we 're running out of time , ed . ed : look , you 've got to stop . i 'm sorry , but my head is ... i got to lie down . reva : i was this close to getting josh to open up about what the problem was , and then bang -- he just shut down . cassie : well , it 's got to happen . i mean , it has to . reva : when ? cassie : i do n't know . josh loves you . and he needs you . some things take time . reva : well , are n't you being the philosophical one today ? cassie : yeah , i guess i 've been opening up a little bit myself lately , so ... reva : really ? how so ? cassie : olivia losing her baby has brought up some not - so - great memories for me . reva : look , cassie , it 's only natural that you would be reminded of your own child . cassie : yes , i know . that 's what edmund said . reva : edmund . you discussed the loss of your child with edmund . cassie : look , my instinct was to put those memories out of mind the second they popped up , but edmund forced me to bring them all out in the open . reva : edmund . this is edmund winslow we 're talking about , the man who was responsible for the death of your child in the first place . cassie : okay , you know what ? it 's really not that black and white . reva : well , you know what ? it is in my memories . and just for the record , out of curiosity , why would edmund want to draw you out about this , knowing the part he played in it to begin with ? cassie : because he thought the loss of my child was the one last thing that separated us . and he believed deep down that i still blamed him . reva : do you ? cassie : no , i do n't . not anymore . reva , i have gone over that night in my head a million times , okay ? you know that . but , for the first time , the other night with edmund , i mean it 's like i saw it clearly for the very first time . edmund did not want to hurt us . reva : oh , dear lord . cassie : no . and he did not want to hurt my child . he did n't . reva : okay . well , maybe that was n't part of his actual plan , but he did create the situation which resulted in the death of your child . cassie : who was driving the car , reva ? reva : oh , do n't do that . do not put the blame on your shoulders , cassie . cassie : no , listen , i wanted to blame edmund . i did , you know ? it was easy . reva : it was right . cassie : there 's more to the story than edmund being a monster , okay ? we 're leaving out the part where he saved our lives , where he risked his own life to save me and pull me out of the car . do you remember that ? true ? reva : true . cassie : okay . and you know what ? he 's still helping me . he is . he is helping me see that holding on to the loss of my child and all the crazy ideas that ... he 's helping me see that , you know , i was using that as a barrier , and not just in my relationship with edmund , but with everything else in my life . and thanks to him , i can let go and i can say good - bye to my son . edmund : it suits you , olivia -- running a business . i always knew you 'd be successful . olivia : you just always thought i was ambitious . edmund : no , not true , actually . when you worked with richard , you always had your finger right on the pulse of everything that happened in san cristobel , above ground and below ground . that makes the mark of a real comer . olivia : i was just doing my job . edmund : oh , please , you were doing your job . you had connections even i envied . olivia : yeah . no , i knew a few people . edmund : ( laughs ) `` knew a few people . `` olivia : yes . edmund : yeah . you know , it makes me think that you 're probably still in touch with a lot of those same people . i hear your name come up all the time , in conducting island business . olivia : what 's this about ? is there something going on in san cristobel ? edmund : olivia , i have something to ask you , and it may seem like an odd question , and a little bit insensitive , but i 'm going to ask it anyway . what if a baby everybody thought was dead was n't dead at all ? olivia : a baby not really being dead ? where the hell do you get off , edmund ? edmund : olivia , please . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i know this is a very painful subject . but cassie and i were recalling the night her baby was stillborn , and the conversation turned speculative . olivia : this is about cassie 's baby ? edmund : yes . olivia : oh . i ... i ... you actually think that he could be alive ? edmund : it 's highly unlikely , i know . it 's just ... the more i remember how chaotic it was at the hospital that night , the more i keep thinking it 's not entirely impossible . i was n't the only person on the island opposed to richard . there were more than a few people who would be only too happy to get rid of richard and his heir , to remove them from the picture . olivia : what ? removed alive ? edmund : it 's unlikely , as i said . it 's just , i have to be 100 % sure , and then i can drop it altogether . olivia : wait a minute . you can drop it ? does this mean you 're checking into this yourself ? edmund : well , i do n't want to get cassie 's hopes up . olivia : she does n't know ? edmund : no . i 'm not going to go to her unless i have definitive information , which is where you come in . olivia : no , listen to me . you ca n't do this . you have to drop it . leave this decision for cassie . only she can make it . you may think you know what 's best , edmund , but when it comes to children , only a mother knows best ; do you understand ? cassie : you know who i 've been starting to think about lately ? sandy . you know , i feel like i 've done him a disservice . reva : how so ? cassie : i think i purposely stayed away from him because he 's richard 's son and he is such a reminder of what i have lost . reva : so you kept your distance . do n't blame yourself for that . i 'm sure sandy does n't . and you know what ? with my being so aggressively mom - like and my pursuit of getting close to him , i think he probably appreciates you just letting him be . cassie : yeah . he sure is a wary kid , is n't he ? reva : there 's a lot of history that he has to deal with , or let go of . i know that whenever i bring it up , he almost literally runs in the opposite direction , and then avoids me for the next couple of weeks . cassie : i guess he 's got some issues to deal with . and i guess it 's just going to take some time for him . just like for him . why do n't you hang in there ? i 'll see you later . hi , josh . michelle : you look pale . ed : no , i 've just got a headache . rick : you 're really something else . michelle : oh , what happened ? i missed a meeting with dr. grant . rick : oh , that 's all right . that 's all right , michelle . he beat us both to the punch . he told dr. grant the whole story , right , dad ? ed : i explained the mix - up with shayne 's meds and then the other incident in the er with the woman that they pulled out of the river . michelle : and then ? ed : and then dr. grant and i agreed that i would take a long weekend off . rick : actually , dad , i really want to talk to you about that . first of all , i think it 's great that you went to dr. grant and took responsibility . really . ed : unless you think i 'm not capable of that . rick : well , it 's just that ... come on , you need more than a couple days ' vacation . michelle : a lot more , dad . ed : that 's ridiculous . that 's ridiculous . rick : we all know that you 're stressed out . i mean ... ed : all right . the practice of medicine is inherently stressful . michelle : this is n't just about medicine , dad . ed : no , it 's not . it 's about taking responsibility , which i did . it also seems to be about this grudge that the two of you are holding . michelle : no , we love you . rick : we want you to feel normal again , dad . that 's it . ed : if that 's possible , right , rick ? rick : why is it that you have to fight us every step of the way ? ed : because i 'm not going to throw my career out the window because you do n't happen to agree with how much time i ... rick : who said anything about throwing your career out the window ? ed : that 's exactly what it would be . if a doctor takes an extended leave , people start worrying about him . rick : you know what ? that 's ... that 's it . i do n't have time for this . ed : what 's wrong with the doctor ? rick : we 're not done with this . ed : when the trust ... michelle : dad , look , there 's something that i have to tell you . ed : no . honey , please , not now . my head is just ... olivia : look , i 'm sorry to be calling so late , but i have to get this thing moving with phillip . he 's just ... he 's so down . i want him out of ravenwood in the worst way . can you meet me at his room tomorrow night ? no , dr. langham is at a convention , so it 's perfect timing . all right , great . thanks . bye . edmund : no , just looking for answers . actually , just one simple answer to a very important question . right . spell that again , please ? thank you very much . no , that 's all . cassie : 1c . sandy foster , 1c . this must be it . richard 's voice : i 've asked to speak with you , the citizens of san cristobel , tonight , because i have news of vital importance . allow me to say that this is the most difficult thing i 've ever had to do as your prince . rick : so , dad 's obviously driving you crazy , too , right ? michelle : rick , dad 's got a lot on his mind . rick : michelle , dr. grant just asked me if i had anything else to report besides dad 's two mistakes that he made at the hospital . so what am i supposed to say ? `` oh , and by the way , charles , he slapped my little sister in the face `` ? i do n't know what to do anymore . i 'm at a loss , because i do n't know what 's going on in his mind anymore . do you know ? michelle : no . but , you know , maybe it 's all going to come clear soon . rick : how ? why ? he could n't be more defensive and incommunicative . and i 'm telling you , michelle , one mistake in his condition and he is through as a doctor . he 's done . michelle : rick , what if dad was keeping some kind of secret ? rick : what ? what secret ? what are you talking about ? michelle : something that he could n't tell anyone because that would ruin his career , or maybe his whole life . rick : are you suggesting that that 's why he 's acting the way he is , because he 's keeping some secret ? he 's hiding something ? michelle : no , no , i 'm just trying to figure out a way to explain it . rick : well , go ahead . try . michelle : well , what if it were true ? and then we found out about it and we were the only ones who knew ? rick : well , i 'd try to help him like we 're doing right now . michelle : but what about the secret ? would you tell anyone if it was , you know , something that happened ... rick : michelle . michelle : ... in the past and nobody could change it ? rick : michelle , i went to dr. grant because i was worried that one of dad 's mistakes could end up costing somebody their life . the patients have to be priority number one . but we 're family , and , of course , i would do everything i could to protect him . michelle : so then you 'd keep the secret in the family ? rick : sure , if it was something that happened a long time ago and could n't be undone . yeah , i think i could bury it . josh : you were right . i guess in a way , i am drowning . reva : you are afraid . josh : i just never really felt like this before . maybe once or twice in my life i have . i do n't know . reva : let me help . josh : you always help . it 's what you do ; it 's who you are . you 've taught so many times over the years what it means to really stand up for the people you love , you know . reva : joshua ... josh : and you 're never afraid . you 're never afraid . especially when it comes to doing what you know you have to do . even when everybody seems to be against you . and i really do wish i was more like that . reva : you are . josh : no , i 'm not . i have a long way to go . reva : remember this , that whatever it is you 're going through right now , you 're not alone . you have me . and you have your children . josh : i know that . and i 'm going to make things right for everybody . i do n't see that i have any other choice . not anymore . no matter what it costs me . phillip : next on guiding light ... jeffrey : marah ... marah : you 're the hero type . you want to save me from a blind date ? brad : last time we met you asked me if i knew the meaning of the word discretion . the answer is yes .

ed meets with dr. grant and owns up to his two medical mistakes , spinning it in a more positive light by attributing the mistakes to exhaustion and emotional stress due to shayne 's accident . dr. grant is understanding and tells ed to take a long weekend to recuperate , thus circumventing rick 's attempt to force ed on a long - term leave of absence . rick is displeased at the turn of events .
