[ sighs ] taylor : [ sighs ] aly , your father and i -- we -- we 've stayed fond of each other over the years , and while we 've been in paris -- aly : and i do n't mean what you did to my mom . i mean what you did to him after . taylor : what did i do to thorne ? aly : you tried to make him betray my mother 's memory . taylor : aly . aly , i - i wanted to marry your father because i loved him . aly : well , he never felt that way about you . thank god i stopped it . i was so young , but i knew . i could see right through you . he could never be happy with you . taylor : your father and i agreed not to get married for you because your wounds were too fresh , and it was too much for you . aly : all these years , and he never got remarried . tells you something , does n't it ? that my mom was his one and only . taylor : i think it also tells me that he was being a responsible father because he wanted to see you grow up to be a wonderful young woman like you are , and now it 's time for maybe him to have his own life and -- and maybe find someone . aly : if the right woman came along , i would support it . taylor : well , aly , as i was saying , we 've been getting closer lately . aly : no . taylor : do n't you think he deserves some happiness ? aly : you ca n't . not this . taylor : aly , we -- we were in paris , and old feelings came back . aly : you stay away from him ! he wants nothing to do with you ! you hear me ? taylor : this is n't going to change anything for you . you 're always going to be first in his life . you 'll always be first to him . do n't you see ? he gave up everything for you . look at the choices he made . he -- he -- he became mom , dad , coach -- everything for you because he wanted to see you grow up . do n't you think maybe it 's time for him to -- to have his own life now and -- and decide maybe who he wants to spend it with ? aly : i have stopped you before , and i will stop you again . you may have taken my mother , but you will not take my father . you wo n't . wyatt : you know , it 's good that you 've decided to do this dating both of us thing . hope : i 'm sorry . what ? wyatt : yeah . yeah , imagine when we 're married already . the embroidery on the pillowcases will say `` fuller . `` hope : embroidered pillowcases ? wyatt : oh , yeah . no , we 're getting them . i might even make them . hope : [ chuckles ] wyatt : `` mr. and mrs. spencer `` with the wedding date . hope : oh , my god . does that kind of take some getting used to -- being called `` spencer `` ? i mean , are n't you gon na miss `` fuller `` ? wyatt : no . i do n't know . feels right -- like i finally found where i belong . god . things just keep getting better and better . and it all started with meeting you in the woods . it did . thorne : by no means am i taking this lightly . taylor and i have been very , very careful about keeping this secret until we were both ready . well , now we 're ready , and we 're not gon na lie anymore . we 're gon na tell the family , and we 're gon na tell aly . and when she gets over the shock , she 's gon na be fine . oliver : i do n't think so . thorne : well , my daughter wants me to be happy . oliver : not with taylor . your wife died a long time ago . of course , you 're allowed to move on , but for aly , that -- that pain is still very raw . she 's not ready for this . she 's not gon na react the way you 're hoping . telling her right now would be a huge mistake . taylor : aly , i 'm not trying to take your father away . please , listen to me , not just for his sake , but for yours ... aly : no . taylor : ... so you can heal , and you can grow . aly : no ! taylor : i love your father . he 's never stopped loving me . aly : you 're lying . taylor : aly ... aly : stop it ! taylor : let 's call your father , and we can all sit down and talk about this . i know we can work through this . it 's gon na be okay . aly : `` okay `` ? my mother is gone ... forever . now you want to take my dad , too ? i ca n't let that happen . you keep taking from me and my family . it 's time to cut you off . taylor : aly ? put that down . aly ! no - o - o - o ! no - o - o - o !
aly is startled . she looks at taylor and asks why she is here . she says she left l.a. and she could finally breathe . now she is back . taylor says there are so many things she wants to say to aly . she is there for her . panting , aly says taylor has no idea what seeing her does to her . she needs to go back to paris and not be anywhere near her . oliver tells thorne that he is lucky that it was him and not aly who came in and saw taylor in his arms . thorne says he is not sure why any of this is oliver 's business . oliver tells him he knows all about his wife , darla 's death , and how it affected aly . he cares for aly and does n't want to see her hurt . thorne admits that he and taylor are a couple . he appreciates oliver 's concern and glad she has someone to confide in , but she is old enough now to know the truth and accept it . oliver says not for this . aly absolutely hates taylor . thorne says even that is not totally unexpected because he and taylor had a history before he even married darla but for some reason it never worked out . aly was the last reason because of the accident . he says he put his life on hold to be the best damn father he could be . he says aly is old enough now . they even live in different cities so he is allowed to do this . that 's why they are here to tell the family and aly . wyatt questions justin about the piece in the paper . justin says it is weird but california law . they must run it once a week for four weeks , then he will be a spencer . justin quips that bill gets all the credit while he does the grunt work . wyatt says wyatt spencer , has a nice ring to it . caroline walks up and gets in on the end of congratulations and thinks hope has chosen wyatt . he explains he has a new name . she tells her cousin that he just did hope a favor . imagine being hope fuller .like hopeful , that would be awful . but now either way , she gets to be a spencer . charlie surprises pam and asks if she is a damsel in distress . he 's suited from head to foot in medieval armor . she tells him he looks good enough for her to eat . she says she is so glad he is so into this . it puts her bustle into a bunch . hope adjusts the necklace on one of her models . quinn walks in and says she is always right . hope tells her she will trust her life with quinn for picking her necklaces , but a man that is up to hope . quinn gloats that she needs to start picking as she wo n't want to wait any longer when she hears quinn 's news . no more fuller ; wyatt is going to be a spencer . hope asks how quinn feels about that . quinn admits that the spencer name made her furious for years . she swore then that she 'd never let wyatt know . but now that he does she sees the world is n't coming to an end and she has to admit the name brings a certain level of respect so she is happy for wyatt . hope is happy too but does not see how this changes a thing of who she chooses . quinn points out that hope has been dating two brothers but her fans might not realize that . now it will be painfully obvious , so quinn ca n't see this going on for too long . there does n't have to be a scandal . she and liam have tried for years and did n't make it so this dating both is just prolonging the obvious . hope says yes there might be gossip about her but she will deal with it . she feels she is on the verge of making a life decision and she wants to get it right .

aly : you ca n't . not this . taylor : aly , we -- we were in paris , and old feelings came back . aly : you stay away from him ! he wants nothing to do with you ! you hear me ? taylor : this is n't going to change anything for you . you 're always going to be first in his life . you 'll always be first to him . do n't you see ? he gave up everything for you . look at the choices he made . he -- he -- he became mom , dad , coach -- everything for you because he wanted to see you grow up . do n't you think maybe it 's time for him to -- to have his own life now and -- and decide maybe who he wants to spend it with ? aly : i have stopped you before , and i will stop you again . you may have taken my mother , but you will not take my father . you wo n't . wyatt : you know , it 's good that you 've decided to do this dating both of us thing . hope : i 'm sorry . what ? wyatt : yeah . yeah , imagine when we 're married already . the embroidery on the pillowcases will say `` fuller . `` hope : embroidered pillowcases ? wyatt : oh , yeah . no , we 're getting them . i might even make them . hope : [ chuckles ] wyatt : `` mr. and mrs. spencer `` with the wedding date . hope : oh , my god . does that kind of take some getting used to -- being called `` spencer `` ? i mean , are n't you gon na miss `` fuller `` ? wyatt : no . i do n't know . feels right -- like i finally found where i belong . god . things just keep getting better and better . and it all started with meeting you in the woods . it did . thorne : by no means am i taking this lightly . taylor and i have been very , very careful about keeping this secret until we were both ready . well , now we 're ready , and we 're not gon na lie anymore . we 're gon na tell the family , and we 're gon na tell aly . and when she gets over the shock , she 's gon na be fine . oliver : i do n't think so . thorne : well , my daughter wants me to be happy . oliver : not with taylor . your wife died a long time ago . of course , you 're allowed to move on , but for aly , that -- that pain is still very raw . she 's not ready for this . she 's not gon na react the way you 're hoping . telling her right now would be a huge mistake . taylor : aly , i 'm not trying to take your father away . please , listen to me , not just for his sake , but for yours ... aly : no . taylor : ... so you can heal , and you can grow . aly : no ! taylor : i love your father . he 's never stopped loving me . aly : you 're lying . taylor : aly ... aly : stop it ! taylor : let 's call your father , and we can all sit down and talk about this . i know we can work through this . it 's gon na be okay . aly : `` okay `` ? my mother is gone ... forever . now you want to take my dad , too ? i ca n't let that happen . you keep taking from me and my family . it 's time to cut you off . taylor : aly ? put that down . aly ! no - o - o - o ! no - o - o - o !Summarize.[/INST]aly is startled . she looks at taylor and asks why she is here . she says she left l.a. and she could finally breathe . now she is back . taylor says there are so many things she wants to say to aly . she is there for her . panting , aly says taylor has no idea what seeing her does to her . she needs to go back to paris and not be anywhere near her . oliver tells thorne that he is lucky that it was him and not aly who came in and saw taylor in his arms . thorne says he is not sure why any of this is oliver 's business . oliver tells him he knows all about his wife , darla 's death , and how it affected aly . he cares for aly and does n't want to see her hurt . thorne admits that he and taylor are a couple . he appreciates oliver 's concern and glad she has someone to confide in , but she is old enough now to know the truth and accept it . oliver says not for this . aly absolutely hates taylor . thorne says even that is not totally unexpected because he and taylor had a history before he even married darla but for some reason it never worked out . aly was the last reason because of the accident . he says he put his life on hold to be the best damn father he could be . he says aly is old enough now . they even live in different cities so he is allowed to do this . that 's why they are here to tell the family and aly . wyatt questions justin about the piece in the paper . justin says it is weird but california law . they must run it once a week for four weeks , then he will be a spencer . justin quips that bill gets all the credit while he does the grunt work . wyatt says wyatt spencer , has a nice ring to it . caroline walks up and gets in on the end of congratulations and thinks hope has chosen wyatt . he explains he has a new name . she tells her cousin that he just did hope a favor . imagine being hope fuller .like hopeful , that would be awful . but now either way , she gets to be a spencer . charlie surprises pam and asks if she is a damsel in distress . he 's suited from head to foot in medieval armor . she tells him he looks good enough for her to eat . she says she is so glad he is so into this . it puts her bustle into a bunch . hope adjusts the necklace on one of her models . quinn walks in and says she is always right . hope tells her she will trust her life with quinn for picking her necklaces , but a man that is up to hope . quinn gloats that she needs to start picking as she wo n't want to wait any longer when she hears quinn 's news . no more fuller ; wyatt is going to be a spencer . hope asks how quinn feels about that . quinn admits that the spencer name made her furious for years . she swore then that she 'd never let wyatt know . but now that he does she sees the world is n't coming to an end and she has to admit the name brings a certain level of respect so she is happy for wyatt . hope is happy too but does not see how this changes a thing of who she chooses . quinn points out that hope has been dating two brothers but her fans might not realize that . now it will be painfully obvious , so quinn ca n't see this going on for too long . there does n't have to be a scandal . she and liam have tried for years and did n't make it so this dating both is just prolonging the obvious . hope says yes there might be gossip about her but she will deal with it . she feels she is on the verge of making a life decision and she wants to get it right .</s>

[ chuckles ] max : you -- you are ? stitch : i know you 're a good kid . you know , coming up with this idea , working so hard to make this party special for abby , it shows a lot of maturity and compassion , and i - i did n't teach you that . that 's just -- that 's just who you are . thanks for doing this , son . max : it 's fun . and abby totally deserves it . adam : that 's interesting , you sitting over there telling me that i ca n't let go . because you orchestrated my termination from behind bars , i would say that , you know , that 's you not letting go . victor : you have selective memory , do n't you ? hmm ? are you forgetting that the situation could have been reversed ? i could have been the visitor , you could have been the inmate . the reason you are n't is because i used my influence to spring you out of this hellhole . adam : okay , well , who has selective memory now ? [ sighs ] victor : [ sighs ] adam : dad . victor : the reason i 'm in here , the reason my empire 's falling apart is because you unleashed paragon on my company ! adam : why ca n't you just admit what the hell you did ? ! victor : you are guilty , and you feel guilty ! wallow in it ! but stop harassing me ! guard ! adam : hold on a second . just give me -- dad . dad ! damn it . meredith : mr. newman ? may i please have a moment of your time ? i 'd like to speak with you about your father . adam : i feel like we know each other , no ? meredith : so , like i was saying -- adam : i got it . it was at a benefit , right ? some kind of judicial benefit thing , right ? you were there with your father ? meredith : yes . adam : i knew it . meredith : yes , yes . adam : and i do n't remember much about it except the fact he thought you hung the moon , did n't he ? meredith : well , not anymore . adam : i see . uh , miss ... ? meredith : doctor . dr. meredith gates . adam : sorry . meredith : can you please have a seat ? adam : sure . how can i help you , dr. gates ? meredith : your father 's a fascinating patient . adam : mm - hmm . meredith : and your meeting today , it did n't go well ? adam : no . it seems like you and i have that in common -- distressed paternal relationships . meredith : yes , well , i think victor 's difficulties are more easily solved . he may act like he 's coping , but despite his claims , i really think that he cares for his family very much and he misses you all . adam : hmm . you know what i think ? i think that that man is the most ruthless person i 've ever met in my life , especially to his family . that 's what i think . nikki : honey , i appreciate your invitation . i really do , but ... given my history with your wife , it would not be a good idea for me to be living under the same roof . i promise you , it would be a very bad mistake . dylan : nikki , i - i think -- i think that you 're wrong about that . sharon 's gon na understand . she would be the first in line to help . nikki : are we talking about the same sharon ? dylan : okay . she has been welcoming since sully was born , right ? nikki : there 's a big difference between occasional visits from sully 's grandmother and then having your mother - in - law live under the same roof with you . it 's just too close . dylan : well , this place is n't doing you any good . you 're hiding from everybody , including your family . nikki : i just ca n't go there -- dylan : sully would love , love some more time with his grandma . and i would love some more time with my mother . nikki : well ... all right . but do n't get your hopes up . sharon and i are nitro and glycerin . sharon : there was this nurse , and i just got a bad vibe from her . sage : the one that dylan checked out . sharon : and he said there was nothing suspicious about her . but i just could n't trust that . and then i saw this woman at the club with her boyfriend . sage : so you asked me to come here and watch sully while you could snoop . sharon : i 'm sorry , sage . i just had to know . sage : that 's okay . what did you find out ? sharon : her boyfriend told me that she suddenly broke up with him at halloween and she disappeared off radar for about a month . and then she went right back to life as usual . sage : hmm . well , yeah , that could mean anything , though . might not have anything to do with fairview or dr. anderson . sharon : my gut tells me not to drop this . which is exactly what dylan wants me to do . and now that you 've heard all this , i 'm sure you 'll tell me that you agree with him . sage : sharon . the last thing you need to do right now is drop this . lily : guests are arriving through the back entrance , but victoria 's not here yet . ashley : she just texted me . she 's running late , but she 'll definitely be here . stitch : here 's the crib . lily : oh , good . so what 's left ? ashley : that 's it . max : time to rendezvous with turtle dove number two . ashley : absolutely . okay , here we go , guys .

bill : i 'm not implying anything . i 'm telling you straight up . liam is too close to sally spectra . steffy : i agree . bill : then you admit there 's a problem . steffy : sally 's been a problem ever since she showed up in l.a . bill : yeah , but when i asked you about this before , you said i was crazy . steffy : no , bill . it 's not possible . bill : okay , fine . you do n't think there 's something going on between sally and liam , you give me any other explanation , any reasonable one , for his behavior . steffy : [ scoffs ] bill : right . liam gets off on playing the hero , saving the day , but he is taking this way too personally . steffy : he fights for the underdog . bill : maybe that 's how it started . steffy : what , you think he has some kind of commitment to sally ? bill : well , i do n't know how to describe what he has going on . but sally 's getting attached to liam , i guarantee it . he 's done way too much for her . she has her claws out . steffy : well , she better think twice about using them . bill : you 've addressed this ? steffy : she has a picture of liam up in her office . she said it was her crazy grandmother 's idea . it was , like , out of respect . i do n't know , it 's just -- it 's stupid . bill : you know what , i 've had enough of this . sally 's created way too many problems for me and my family . it 's time to stamp out spectra fashions and this tie between your husband and sally . saul : what is he talking about ? darlita : this building is n't ours ? saul : is this some kind of joke ? liam : no . no . shirley : how could you let this happen ? saul : sally trusted you ! shirley : i put your picture on the wall ! liam : it 's my dad , okay ? it 's -- i tried to stand up for you guys . i thought he was cooperating with me , and he stabbed me in the back . shirley : bill ca n't pull the rug out from under us now ! sally : bill wants us to relocate . saul : we 're in the middle of production . liam : i know . i 'm sorry . shirley : this building is my sister 's legacy ! no . this is not happening . sally : legally , the building belongs to bill spencer . we have to go . shirley : no , we will not ! i do n't give a damn what the law says . we 're here . come on . we 've come too to let this happen . no one is gon na tear this building down , and if they bring in that wrecking ball , they 're gon na have to go through me . liam : now there 's an idea . sally : what ? liam : peaceful protest . shirley : [ gasps ] a sit - in ! liam : a sit - in . darlita : sit in what ? sally : would that work ? liam : this is what people do when they believe in something , when they want the world to start paying attention . you stage a non - violent protest , right ?

steffy drops in on bill . he tells her that he is going ahead with his plan to erect skye and on the spectra lot . seems even though liam was ceo he did not have the authority to give it to sally . spectra fashion is finally coming down . she sees that means they are fighting again . and the worst part even though bill confessed there is no recording left of that so liam can not prove it . liam has to be the bearer of bad tidings and tells sally that his dad is taking the spectra site back . it 's not about the money but the land and his dad wo n't change his mind this time . he still wants to figure something out but he can not override or outvote his father . sally says this is her aunt sally 's legacy and he said he would help . she ca n't keep fighting and losing in the end . bill said he would help her move . she says she is not leaving . she tells the others that she does not own this building ; bill spencer still does . bill tells steffy that he has offered to move sally , even give her money and relocate in a new better building but she wo n't budge so he can be fair and decent and maybe even be mayor dollar bill spencer . but liam is too involved and is seeing things through ginger colored glasses . he says he is not making this up . liam is too involved with sally . just give him one reasonable explanation ; he has done way too much for her . it is time to stamp out spectra fashions and for her husband to let go too .
<s>[INST] [ door opens ] steffy : you know i have my own company to run . bill : i 'd have a lot more fun running mine if it was n't for your husband . steffy : why is that here ? bill : you have n't talked to liam . steffy : no . why ? what happened ? bill : i 'm going ahead with my project . steffy : you 're building your skyscraper ? bill : sky . on the former site of spectra fashions . steffy : but liam gave the building to sally . bill : well , he thought he did , but even though he was c.e.o . at the time , i was still the authorized signatory for the spencer trust , which owns the spectra property . liam did n't have the legal authority to do anything with it . the property is still mine . steffy : you two are fighting again . sally : what do you think ? shirley : that this is better than anything in the last collection . sally : you 're not just saying that ? shirley : no , honey . our future is riding on this collection . if it was n't up to snuff , i would n't hold back . oh ! look what the winds of good fortune blew in ! liam : uh , yeah . do you have a minute ? shirley : for the man of the hour and on our wall , we have all the time in the world . liam : our wall -- wall ? what now ? sally : grams is goofing around . shirley : no . spectra fashions appreciates its friends and benefactors . sally : you saw what all the architects are doing , right ? liam : yeah , uh , it 's -- it 's great . it looks great . shirley : you know what , i 'm gon na take these down to saul . sally : things are really coming together . we just hired 12 new sewers . the building 's coming online . we were just talking about how we think this collection 's gon na be better than the one we lost . liam : sally , i 'm so sorry . sally : you have nothing to be sorry about . liam : no , no . i do . i do . um ... my dad did it again . he blocked ownership of this building . sally : what does that mean ? liam : it means he 's taking it back . bill : it was a majority vote . wyatt sided with me ! steffy : bill ! bill : it was completely fair . steffy : liam is n't gon na see it that way . bill : that 's because he 's looking at this thing through ginger - colored glasses . he still thinks we owe sally after the fire . steffy : bill , sally knows you did it . bill : so what ? she ca n't prove anything . the evidence is gone . liam told her ? steffy : sally put it together , and liam confirmed it . bill : liam told her . you heard this from sally ? steffy : yeah . bill : well , you know what ? it makes no difference . he 's there delivering the bad news as we speak . spectra fashion is finally coming down . sally : i do n't understand . you gave me this building . liam : i know . my dad found a loophole , a way to void the deal . the building still belongs to spencer publications . sally : i have the paperwork ! i used it to get a loan to rebuild after the fire . liam : i know . i know . sally : i did exactly what you told me to do -- to restart the business , i 'm producing a new collection . i 'm getting the word out ! liam : listen , i 'm not giving up on you . i still want spectra to succeed . i just -- sally : owning the building made that possible . liam : yeah , well , dollar bill spencer thinks i was being too generous . sally : you were ! which is why i 'm gon na pay spencer back every penny , but i have to get this place up and running . i just need a few more weeks . liam : sally , you do n't -- you do n't understand . it 's not about the money . it 's about the land . my dad 's gon na build his skyscraper here . sally : i ca n't believe this is happening . liam : i do n't know what to say , sally . i hate this . sally : you told me not to worry . liam : i know ! it 's my damn father ! sally : yeah , but you run the company together . you have a say . liam : no , i got -- i got outvoted . wyatt sided with my dad . listen , i -- i 'll help you deal with the bank . we 'll figure something out . we just -- sally : how long before we have to get out of here ? liam : wrecking crew 's ready to go any day now , definitely this week . sally : i just hired new sewers . where are they supposed to go ? what are we supposed to do ? this building is my aunt sally 's legacy . she trusted me with it , and you said that you were gon na help me rebuild it better than ever . [ sighs ] the lies and the bad reviews and the fire and now this ? i ca n't keep doing this , liam . i ca n't keep fighting and losing . why does your father hate me so much ? liam : it 's worse than hate . he 's indifferent . he gets an idea in his head , and it just ... stays there . sally : [ sighs ] i just ... keep getting so close ! liam : my dad , uh ... offered to help you move . obviously i told him that 's not enough . sally : no , we are not moving . how many times do we have to go through this ?

saul : is something wrong ? sally : i do not own this building . bill spencer does . shirley : no ... liam : it 's true . sally : our big comeback is over . bill wants to demolish this building this week . steffy : i ca n't believe liam rejected your offer . bill : he would n't even consider it . steffy : and you 're willing to help spectra relocate . bill : i 'll have my people find them a better location , up to code , modern facilities . liam would n't even hear it ! he wants to give them a year . let them decide when and where they go . steffy : a year ? bill : it does n't even make sense . what 's sally gon na do ? throw a bunch of money into a building that i 'm gon na tear down ? i mean , this is the problem . liam is n't like you and me . he does n't have a head for business . he has no appreciation for the amount of jobs that sky is gon na create . how she will be a boon to the development of downtown . all the property in the area is going to appreciate . i mean , the mayor is gon na give me the key to freakin ' city . hell , i might even be the mayor myself ! mayor bill ! mayor spencer ! mayor dollar bill spencer . look , the point is i 'm trying to be fair and decent . do i get any credit for that ? steffy : i think liam will see it . what happened to your breakthrough , your new respect for each other ? bill : [ laughs ] all i got from liam was a , uh , lecture on spectra 's legacy . i mean , he actually believes they have one . he 's trying to tell me how important that building is to them . what i do n't understand is why it 's so damn important to him . i mean , once again , he 's siding with that redhead over his family . he 's being completely unreasonable . he 's too involved , steffy . attached to sally and spectra in a way he should n't be . steffy : what exactly are you implying ? bill : i 'm not implying anything . i 'm telling you straight up . liam is too close to sally spectra . steffy : i agree . bill : then you admit there 's a problem . steffy : sally 's been a problem ever since she showed up in l.a . bill : yeah , but when i asked you about this before , you said i was crazy . steffy : no , bill . it 's not possible . bill : okay , fine . you do n't think there 's something going on between sally and liam , you give me any other explanation , any reasonable one , for his behavior . steffy : [ scoffs ] bill : right . liam gets off on playing the hero , saving the day , but he is taking this way too personally . steffy : he fights for the underdog . bill : maybe that 's how it started . steffy : what , you think he has some kind of commitment to sally ? bill : well , i do n't know how to describe what he has going on . but sally 's getting attached to liam , i guarantee it . he 's done way too much for her . she has her claws out . steffy : well , she better think twice about using them . bill : you 've addressed this ? steffy : she has a picture of liam up in her office . she said it was her crazy grandmother 's idea . it was , like , out of respect . i do n't know , it 's just -- it 's stupid . bill : you know what , i 've had enough of this . sally 's created way too many problems for me and my family . it 's time to stamp out spectra fashions and this tie between your husband and sally . saul : what is he talking about ? darlita : this building is n't ours ? saul : is this some kind of joke ? liam : no . no . shirley : how could you let this happen ? saul : sally trusted you ! shirley : i put your picture on the wall ! liam : it 's my dad , okay ? it 's -- i tried to stand up for you guys . i thought he was cooperating with me , and he stabbed me in the back . shirley : bill ca n't pull the rug out from under us now ! sally : bill wants us to relocate . saul : we 're in the middle of production . liam : i know . i 'm sorry . shirley : this building is my sister 's legacy ! no . this is not happening . sally : legally , the building belongs to bill spencer . we have to go . shirley : no , we will not ! i do n't give a damn what the law says . we 're here . come on . we 've come too to let this happen . no one is gon na tear this building down , and if they bring in that wrecking ball , they 're gon na have to go through me . liam : now there 's an idea . sally : what ? liam : peaceful protest . shirley : [ gasps ] a sit - in ! liam : a sit - in . darlita : sit in what ? sally : would that work ? liam : this is what people do when they believe in something , when they want the world to start paying attention . you stage a non - violent protest , right ? you stock up on food and water , you lock those doors , and you just do n't leave the building . sally : and they would n't tear it down if people were inside ? liam : no . shirley : we need to show bill spencer we mean business . liam : yeah , but he 's done debating , and he 's certainly not gon na listen to me anymore . sally ... it 's time to try a new tactic . you 've earned this , you deserve it , but it may be time for you to fight for it , too . can you do that ?

sharon is pissed . nick has n't called her since he left and she ca n't believe that he did this to her . phyllis has barely hung up the phone when she realizes that nick is there in the room staring at her . he tells that she does n't have to take the test as he has the results . brad drops in with a box of things that colleen had left in her room . soon all brad does is ask about jt and his trip . colleen tells she has n't any info on his trip . `` i am the father . `` phyllis is speechless . she and nick decide to talk privately . on the way out , brad sees them walking off . when they leave on the elevator , jack exits from the other elevator . brad calls sharon and tells her that he saw nick with phyllis . sharon understands what that means if he went to phyllis first . he must be the father . she feels that nick going to phyllis first means that he has made some major decision about things . `` i am at the bank , i have the money . do you want to be there when i do this thing ? `` kevin asks . daniel says that he is with lily but wants to hear how things turn out later . lily is getting strange vibes . daniel says that the thing with colleen is making him nervous . she hopes that is what it is . she knows that secrets between people that love each other causes problems . jt makes a connection . he looks at the crime scene pictures from the family slaughter and finds the same baseball picture with brad in it hanging on the wall . he calls a neighbor and has the woman come over . she tells how the son was violent all his life . when presented with the baseball team picture she easily picks out brad 's face as george kaplan . colleen comes to see her father . she has to come clean . she tells him that jt and paul are investigating him in cleveland . he tells her that he knew they did a background check and that there is nothing to be found . `` i was there . my father died from alcoholism and i left , never to return . that is all there is to it , `` brad says smiling .

[ scene_break ] sam : if franco 's in trouble , i 'm sure he 's earned it . elizabeth : okay , under any other circumstances , i would not -- sam : there are no other circumstances . none that i would ever want to hear about what franco did . it 's all i can do to tolerate him for the sake of keeping peace with you . elizabeth : okay , okay . all right . let 's -- let 's take franco off the table and for one second imagine i 'm here about someone else , someone who , if you do n't step in to help , may be forced to pay for something they did n't do .

[ scene_break ] julian : as soon as ned said that babysitter had no idea where that pill bottle came from , i knew it was you . olivia : then you should have known i would never hurt a child . julian : really ? well , i think anna devane might have something to say about that , since it was you who made her miscarry duke lavery 's baby . olivia : do n't ever say that bitch 's name to me again . the point is that i could have . i would n't have , but i could have ... harmed your child . and whose fault would that have been ? the way i see it , it would have been yours , because i gave you a job to do , and you 're not doing it . you 're leaving me very unpleasant choices . julian : listen to me . if you 're unhappy with my job performance , you come to me . you leave my family out of it . olivia : i will get my revenge , brother ... eventually . but for now , i have other uses for you . julian : well , it 's not gon na be killing jason morgan . i can promise you that . olivia : do you understand that he is this close to finding out who i am ? i simply can not have that . until i am ready to stage my grand re - entrance into port charles , i ca n't think of any other way , except for jason martin to vanish . poof ! julian : if i kill jason morgan ... you might as well turn yourself in . otherwise , you will be the next one to go . [ scene_break ] sam : it 's my experience that franco is usually guilty of what he 's accused of , and he 's never paid for what he 's done . elizabeth : it 's different this time . sam : how ? elizabeth : the police think franco killed tom baker . sam : tom baker ? elizabeth : yes . the man who raped me when i was a teenager . he was recently paroled , and franco was certain he was gon na come after me again . sam : okay , then , franco killed him before he could . elizabeth : no , no . he -- he did n't do it . it was someone else , and franco knows who . sam : then he should pitch this idea to the police . i do n't know why you 're telling me any of this . why did you come here ? elizabeth : because franco 's trying to protect the real killer . sam : okay . okay , so you 're looking for a pi . i 'm not taking on new cases . elizabeth : okay , sam , listen to me . the person franco is protecting is your mother . [ scene_break ] spinelli : now it is time for the father -- father , father - ish -- the father- ish of the bride to bid his little girl adieu with a dance . [ soft piano music plays ] felicia : it 's okay for you to cry . everybody knows how much you love your girls . mac : father - ish . yeah , that 's just like spinelli . that 's a new one . [ chuckles ] maxie : you know i never cared what i called you . uncle mac , dad , mac . i always knew that you would be there for me . always . mac : [ sniffles ] all i ever wanted was to make you feel safe and loved and protected . maxie : i know that . i love you . mac : may i have this dance ? maxie : i thought you 'd never ask . emma : uncle mac is the best . robin : yeah , he is . nathan : may i have this dance ? dr. obrecht : i would be honored . you 've made me very happy . nathan : really ? dr. obrecht : yeah . i never imagined i 'd have a real relationship with you , much less witness the occasion of your wedding . nathan : well ... mutter , let your imagination run . many more occasions to share . dr. obrecht : [ chuckles ] good . spinelli : let 's hear it for the father / bride , mother / groom dance . [ cheers and applause ] spinelli : so let me ask you guys a question . why should they have all the fun ? it 's time to dance ! let 's get funky ! [ dance music plays ] [ laughter ] [ indistinct chatter ] [ scene_break ] sam : franco said my mother killed tom baker ? elizabeth : okay , franco told kiki , who told me -- although he never referred to your mother by name . sam : ugh ! okay , so this is all coming third - hand from kiki . elizabeth : franco told kiki the only way he could clear his name is by turning in the real killer , but he would n't do that , because the woman in question is someone he knows . and he hurt someone she loves very badly in the past , and he does n't want to bring any more pain to that family . sam : okay , so from all that , you just chose my mother ? why not one of my sisters or julian or my brother danny ? he 's old enough to hold a knife . why do n't you blame him ? elizabeth : i saw your mom at gh the other day , and she walked right past me in a complete fog . it was clear she had been crying , like she did n't have a clue . sam : okay , so what ? ! she was crying . what does that mean ? elizabeth : sam , listen to me . i am not making this up . franco is protecting your mother , and now he 's disappeared , and you need to help him . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , ava , you do n't think i can stay sober ? ava : no , i do n't . alexis : why is that ? ava : julian 's still living here , right ? alexis : so ? ava : so that 's how i know . julian still talks about being in love with you . his goal is to restore you to the woman you were before he drove you to drink . but you and i ... we know the truth , right ? you 're playing him for a fool . i mean , sure , you have to live with julian . but what you get in return , it 's so very important . you get his silence about your drinking . so everything that julian is doing here , living here , covering for you , twisting your arm into sobriety , it 's just his form of enabling . [ scene_break ] julian : you are right , though . jason is close to figuring out your identity . but killing him is n't gon na preserve your anonymity . in fact , it 's only gon na expedite how quickly you get caught . and jason is n't flying solo . and his partner ... is in - laws with the police commissioner , and it 's a good bet he 's keeping her in the loop , as is jason with sonny . so if we take out jason , that 's only gon na prove to everybody that he was on the right track . so if the police do n't find you , trust me -- sonny will . olivia : but sonny will be in prison soon . julian : i would n't be so sure about that . see , uh , sonny 's beat a lot of charges over the years , and it 's a pretty easy bet that he 's gon na beat this one . even if he does n't , he has a long reach , even from pentonville . so do you really want to make enemies with sonny corinthos ? olivia : what 's the alternative ? julian : well , you pin the car bomb on someone else . that way , curtis and jason have the resolution they need , and the police and sonny are off your scent . olivia : who did you have in mind ? [ scene_break ] anna : oh , my gosh . you are a much better dancer than your brother . mac : well , you 're not the first person to tell me that . anna : [ chuckles ] felicia : so , anna tells me that you 're an archeologist . andré : um , it 's a hobby . i 'm an amateur . felicia : oh . well , i have a story for you about an aztec treasure . [ chuckles ] nina : your vows were lovely . they were beautiful . nathan : thank you . nina : my baby brother is all grown up . dante : [ sighs ] having a good time ? lulu : you think she 's okay ? dante : yep . i think she 's totally fine . lulu : i do n't know how she could be . she just lost the only mother she 's ever known . i just ... wish i could be comforting her . dante : and you will be . we 're gon na have the custody hearing soon . lulu : what if we lose ? dante : we wo n't . so either way , we ca n't do anything about it right now , so why do n't we enjoy our friend 's wedding ? hmm ? lulu : yeah . [ indistinct conversations ] charlotte : show me how to find my star , papa . where is polaris ? valentin : it is too cold for stargazing out here , love . why do n't we go back inside , huh ? i think the bride 's about to toss the bouquet . charlotte : i want to catch it ! valentin : yeah ! i am as constant as the northern star , of who 's true fixed rested quality there is no fellow in the firmament . griffin : you bastard . you killed her . valentin : i 'm sorry . have you been drinking , father ? griffin : claudette was in your way , so you killed her . you murdered charlotte 's mother ! claudette promised she 'd come back for charlotte , and you had to stop that , right ? you had to keep her away from charlotte , so you killed her -- the only mother she ever loved , the only mother she ever had ! lulu : charlotte ? griffin : this is why claudette wanted me to be charlotte 's father , because you do n't deserve that little girl ! [ grunts ] valentin : what did you say to me ? what did you say about my little girl ? ! i 'm sick of your preaching , father . i 'm sick of your whining , and i 'm sick of you ! do n't ever talk about my daughter . do n't mention her name . you are nothing to her . you got me ? just nod . just nod . nathan : [ coughs ] anna : what are you doing ? ! get off him ! get off him ! you bastard ! you 're such a vicious thug ! he 's a good man ! you disgust me . valentin : yeah . th - that 's what you 've always s - s - said about me ! [ breathing heavily ] [ scene_break ] nathan : all right , you ready for this ? maxie : be nice . nathan : okay . all right . all right . guests : aww ! aww ! aww ! aww ! maxie : mm - hmm . okay . it 's my turn . nathan : yeah ? okay . all right . maxie : i really just want to see you eat this many carbs . [ laughter ] nathan : okay . maxie : you picked it out . nathan : come here . [ kisses maxie ] mac : aww ! that 's sweet . guests : aww ! aww ! aww ! [ scene_break ] sam : will you listen to yourself ? you 're so desperate to be with franco , you 'll believe any lie that he feeds you . elizabeth : if you would just consider the possibility -- sam : my mom did not murder a man that she did n't know . why do n't you consider the possibility that franco is telling you this to throw suspicion off himself ? elizabeth : do you know for a fact that your mother did n't know tom ? sam : i read about this online . i know that tom baker was murdered outside a dive bar . and i know that my mom is n't gon na murder some stranger outside of a dive bar . it 's not her . i know her . elizabeth : you 're wrong . you do n't know her at all . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know , ava , living with your brother monitoring my every move is no day at the beach . ava : ah . it 's still better than monitoring from your daughters , is n't it ? alexis : [ sighs ] ava : they 're all that really matters . and who knows what might come to pass if they found out what you 've been up to . and , sooner or later , they 're gon na make you choose -- the booze or them . alexis : i 've made my choice . ava : hmm . it 's still so easy to unmake . 'cause you know . you know deep down that the longer julian keeps your drinking a secret , the longer you have to perfect your tricks . alexis : what tricks ? ava : new and innovative ways to drink and get away with it . you 're not ready for sobriety , because your secrets are still safe . and as long as they are ... the drinking will always be an option for you . [ scene_break ] olivia : seems you 've thought of everything . julian : so you 're gon na give your blessing to my plan ? olivia : it better work . julian : i know . or it 's my head . olivia : no . not yours . julian : yeah , i get it . look , liv . i promise you . this will work . olivia : it 's interesting the lengths that you 'll go to for jason morgan . julian : well , i told you , my daughter loves jason . and i 've done enough to hurt sam . olivia : i can see you really love your children and that you would do anything for them . julian : [ sighs ] olivia : i wish i knew what that felt like . julian : i 'm sorry that things worked out for you the way they did . you know , i know you feel cheated . olivia : i was cheated . i was cheated out of love , having my own family . everything that you got for yourself while i was on the other side of the world in exile . julian : [ sighs ] hey . hey , you can still have those things . there 's still time . olivia : [ exhales sharply ] maybe . there 's far less time for the people who screwed me over and way past time for those people to pay for what they 've done . i am now the queen of the jerome family . and from now on , i 'm calling the shots . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know what , ava ? you got a lot of nerve lecturing me about drinking , because i ca n't recall a time when i 've ever seen you without a martini in your hand . ava : [ scoffs ] i 'm not gon na apologize for the occasional cocktail . alexis : occasional ? ava : hey . i 've never driven out of town to some dive bar to drink myself blind and then run over a man in the parking lot . alexis : here you go . enjoy it . and you 're wrong about me , ava . you 're wrong . ava : okay . so then i guess i can expect you to kick julian out and have a real heart to heart with your daughters soon , right ? [ scene_break ] sam : so , first , you accuse my mother of killing tom baker , and now you 're claiming to know her better than i do ? elizabeth : all i 'm saying is your mother has n't been herself for a while . it 's public knowledge that julian went on trial for trying to kill her , and he got acquitted , and your mom lost her license to practice law . if i were her , i 'd be a mess . so are you gon na tell me you really have n't noticed anything ? sam : [ sighs ] no , i -- yeah , i ... no , i have n't . she 's gone through a rough patch . that does n't make her a murderer . i think it 's pathetic that you 're so lovestruck that you 're willing to sell these lies to clear franco 's name . elizabeth : okay , i - i did n't only come here on franco 's behalf . i like your mom , sam . and if she did kill tom baker , then i 'm sure she was only trying to defend herself like i tried to defend myself when he raped me . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] julian : [ sighs ] ava : ah ! finally ! julian : what are you doing here ? ava : i have been trying to reach you since yesterday . julian : [ sighs ] where 's alexis ? ava : swilling hand sanitizer . julian : you know what ? that 's not funny . ava : it 's a little funny . hey . i left you a message , you did n't call me back . julian : yeah , well , i 've been a little busy . ava : as have i . in fact , i got a little visit from sam . she accused me of being behind the bomb that killed morgan . julian : no , she 's wrong . ava : yeah , no kiddin ' . but she does seem certain that there 's a new player on the scene . somebody who 's targeting you and sonny , both -- a woman . so who is it , jules ? and just what the hell kind of trouble have you gotten us into this time ? [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm sorry , darling , that you had to witness that . i know you despise julian every bit as much as i do . but my working with him is really only a means to an end . eventually , i will make him pay for what he did to us -- to you , to me . and it will hurt . [ scene_break ] anna : what is wrong with you ? ! you 're at a wedding ! you use that as an excuse to beat up on griffin ? he 's a doctor . he 's been drinking . he does n't know how to fight like you . he did n't go to the academy . he 's not a professional . 'cause you 're a professional , are n't you ? are n't you ? does this make you feel powerful ? does it make you feel strong , like you 're a big man or something ? just a twisted little ... coward ! valentin : twisted ? ! [ scene_break ] maxie : okay , single ladies . who wants to get married next ? emma : oh ! robin : [ laughs ] you know , when emma was little and she used to catch the bouquets at weddings , i thought it was cute . and now she talks about boys all the time , so ... mac : well , now you know how i felt when you were talking about boys all the time . i wanted to send them away . felicia : it 's a part of life , guys . all little girls grow up . go , emma ! robin : [ laughs ] maxie : okay , ready ? and ... one ... two ... robin : look ! david hasselhoff ! maxie : ... three ! dr. obrecht : [ gasps ] emma : yes !

[ scene_break ] olivia : [ to pictures of duke ] remember how we used to dance ? our tangos set port charles on fire ! we could have had a beautiful life together . except for julian . [ scene_break ] alexis : you 're back . julian : hey . sorry i was n't here when you got home . alexis : where is she ? julian : ava -- she 's gone . how 'd the , uh , aa meeting go ? alexis : great . i stood in front of a bunch of strangers and almost confessed that i killed tom baker . julian : well , you do n't have to do that . alexis : unless they arrest franco . julian : well , since he did n't do it , they are n't gon na have any hard evidence that he did . alexis : well , there 's certainly plenty of circumstantial evidence against him , not to mention his past . so what if they arrest franco ? drunk , i suppose i could handle it . sober , i have no idea what i 'll do . julian : no matter what , you do n't have to do it alone . [ scene_break ] sam : you think my mother was raped ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i honestly do n't know . but if she is the one who killed tom , then i 'm sure she suffered at his hands first . and if that 's the case , then you and i both know what she 's going through . she 's hurting , and she needs help . so , please , if you ca n't bring yourself to intervene for franco 's sake ... just do it for your mother 's . [ door opens , closes ] [ scene_break ] olivia : i really ca n't lay all the blame at julian 's feet . anna did everything that she could to damage our love . [ remembers ] anna : in spite of everything you 've tried to do , i 've remained silent . but when you use my daughter to further your own selfish , miserable ends ... olivia : i do n't know what you 're talking about . i think robin 's adorable . anna : when you try to fill her head with your own sick perversions , you 've gone too far . olivia : i was not sick . anna : you 're demented . olivia : no , i 'm not . do n't you ever call me that . anna : you slithered your way into my husband 's bed , but i will never allow you to frighten my child . never . olivia : you really should n't excite yourself like this . you 're pregnant . it 's not good for you or the baby . anna : the baby 's fine . so is its father , and so am i . and i intend to keep it that way . olivia : and anna will suffer ... ... and suffer ... and suffer . [ scene_break ] griffin : what the hell is going on ? anna : [ remembers ] i do n't want to celebrate my birthday with you . valentin : why not ? is it that -- that i 'm in -- i 'm inv -- can you not see me ? or can you just not bear to look at me ? anna : oh , i remember . [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] lulu : i know exactly what it feels like to miss your mom . it 's just about the emptiest , loneliest feeling in the world . you still have a mom . it 's me . i am your real mommy .

[ holds up picture of alexis ] charlotte ( to lulu ) : no ! you 're not my mommy ! griffin ( to andré ) : valentin murdered claudette . valentin ( to anna ) : ? ?
at the reception , maxie and nathan share their first dance . later on , maxie and mac have the father - daughter dance and nathan dances with his mother . while this is going on , nina informs griffin that claudette died and drowned in a river . griffin is not able to take this well and while valentin is outside , he confronts him and accuses him of killing claudette . valentin starts beating him up . anna and andré run out to help . anna stops him and can not believe that he would do this . she later remembers who valentin is and is puzzled . charlotte has overheard griffin accusing valentin of killing her mother and she runs off to a closet . lulu follows her and tries to help her feel better . it ends with lulu admitting that she is charlotte 's mother .
<s>[INST] maxie : thank you for everything you did to pull this wedding together . lulu : i want to take credit for it . i do , but i was just a worker bee . this was all nathan 's idea . nathan : what can i say ? i had a great motivation to make my wife happy . maxie : it 's a shame that crimson ca n't run this in our wedding issue . lulu : why not ? maxie : are you kidding ? crimson runs on advertisements . if our readers knew you could whip together a wedding like this on a budget , we 'd be out of business . [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] nina : i 'm gon na get something else to drink . charlotte : was your wedding to nina as beautiful as this ? valentin : oh , in its own way , it was even more beautiful . charlotte : i 'm so glad you married nina . valentin : [ chuckles ] you and me both .

[ scene_break ] sam : if franco 's in trouble , i 'm sure he 's earned it . elizabeth : okay , under any other circumstances , i would not -- sam : there are no other circumstances . none that i would ever want to hear about what franco did . it 's all i can do to tolerate him for the sake of keeping peace with you . elizabeth : okay , okay . all right . let 's -- let 's take franco off the table and for one second imagine i 'm here about someone else , someone who , if you do n't step in to help , may be forced to pay for something they did n't do .

[ scene_break ] julian : as soon as ned said that babysitter had no idea where that pill bottle came from , i knew it was you . olivia : then you should have known i would never hurt a child . julian : really ? well , i think anna devane might have something to say about that , since it was you who made her miscarry duke lavery 's baby . olivia : do n't ever say that bitch 's name to me again . the point is that i could have . i would n't have , but i could have ... harmed your child . and whose fault would that have been ? the way i see it , it would have been yours , because i gave you a job to do , and you 're not doing it . you 're leaving me very unpleasant choices . julian : listen to me . if you 're unhappy with my job performance , you come to me . you leave my family out of it . olivia : i will get my revenge , brother ... eventually . but for now , i have other uses for you . julian : well , it 's not gon na be killing jason morgan . i can promise you that . olivia : do you understand that he is this close to finding out who i am ? i simply can not have that . until i am ready to stage my grand re - entrance into port charles , i ca n't think of any other way , except for jason martin to vanish . poof ! julian : if i kill jason morgan ... you might as well turn yourself in . otherwise , you will be the next one to go . [ scene_break ] sam : it 's my experience that franco is usually guilty of what he 's accused of , and he 's never paid for what he 's done . elizabeth : it 's different this time . sam : how ? elizabeth : the police think franco killed tom baker . sam : tom baker ? elizabeth : yes . the man who raped me when i was a teenager . he was recently paroled , and franco was certain he was gon na come after me again . sam : okay , then , franco killed him before he could . elizabeth : no , no . he -- he did n't do it . it was someone else , and franco knows who . sam : then he should pitch this idea to the police . i do n't know why you 're telling me any of this . why did you come here ? elizabeth : because franco 's trying to protect the real killer . sam : okay . okay , so you 're looking for a pi . i 'm not taking on new cases . elizabeth : okay , sam , listen to me . the person franco is protecting is your mother .

[ dance music plays ] [ laughter ] [ indistinct chatter ] [ scene_break ] sam : franco said my mother killed tom baker ? elizabeth : okay , franco told kiki , who told me -- although he never referred to your mother by name . sam : ugh ! okay , so this is all coming third - hand from kiki . elizabeth : franco told kiki the only way he could clear his name is by turning in the real killer , but he would n't do that , because the woman in question is someone he knows . and he hurt someone she loves very badly in the past , and he does n't want to bring any more pain to that family . sam : okay , so from all that , you just chose my mother ? why not one of my sisters or julian or my brother danny ? he 's old enough to hold a knife . why do n't you blame him ? elizabeth : i saw your mom at gh the other day , and she walked right past me in a complete fog . it was clear she had been crying , like she did n't have a clue . sam : okay , so what ? ! she was crying . what does that mean ? elizabeth : sam , listen to me . i am not making this up . franco is protecting your mother , and now he 's disappeared , and you need to help him . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , ava , you do n't think i can stay sober ? ava : no , i do n't . alexis : why is that ? ava : julian 's still living here , right ? alexis : so ? ava : so that 's how i know . julian still talks about being in love with you . his goal is to restore you to the woman you were before he drove you to drink . but you and i ... we know the truth , right ? you 're playing him for a fool . i mean , sure , you have to live with julian . but what you get in return , it 's so very important . you get his silence about your drinking . so everything that julian is doing here , living here , covering for you , twisting your arm into sobriety , it 's just his form of enabling . [ scene_break ] julian : you are right , though . jason is close to figuring out your identity . but killing him is n't gon na preserve your anonymity . in fact , it 's only gon na expedite how quickly you get caught . and jason is n't flying solo . and his partner ... is in - laws with the police commissioner , and it 's a good bet he 's keeping her in the loop , as is jason with sonny . so if we take out jason , that 's only gon na prove to everybody that he was on the right track . so if the police do n't find you , trust me -- sonny will . olivia : but sonny will be in prison soon . julian : i would n't be so sure about that . see , uh , sonny 's beat a lot of charges over the years , and it 's a pretty easy bet that he 's gon na beat this one . even if he does n't , he has a long reach , even from pentonville . so do you really want to make enemies with sonny corinthos ? olivia : what 's the alternative ? julian : well , you pin the car bomb on someone else . that way , curtis and jason have the resolution they need , and the police and sonny are off your scent . olivia : who did you have in mind ? [ scene_break ] anna : oh , my gosh . you are a much better dancer than your brother . mac : well , you 're not the first person to tell me that . anna : [ chuckles ] felicia : so , anna tells me that you 're an archeologist . andré : um , it 's a hobby . i 'm an amateur . felicia : oh . well , i have a story for you about an aztec treasure .

[ indistinct conversations ] charlotte : show me how to find my star , papa . where is polaris ? valentin : it is too cold for stargazing out here , love . why do n't we go back inside , huh ? i think the bride 's about to toss the bouquet . charlotte : i want to catch it ! valentin : yeah ! i am as constant as the northern star , of who 's true fixed rested quality there is no fellow in the firmament . griffin : you bastard . you killed her . valentin : i 'm sorry . have you been drinking , father ? griffin : claudette was in your way , so you killed her . you murdered charlotte 's mother ! claudette promised she 'd come back for charlotte , and you had to stop that , right ? you had to keep her away from charlotte , so you killed her -- the only mother she ever loved , the only mother she ever had ! lulu : charlotte ? griffin : this is why claudette wanted me to be charlotte 's father , because you do n't deserve that little girl ! [ grunts ] valentin : what did you say to me ? what did you say about my little girl ? ! i 'm sick of your preaching , father . i 'm sick of your whining , and i 'm sick of you ! do n't ever talk about my daughter . do n't mention her name . you are nothing to her . you got me ? just nod . just nod . nathan : [ coughs ] anna : what are you doing ? ! get off him ! get off him ! you bastard ! you 're such a vicious thug ! he 's a good man ! you disgust me . valentin : yeah . th - that 's what you 've always s - s - said about me !

[ scene_break ] sam : will you listen to yourself ? you 're so desperate to be with franco , you 'll believe any lie that he feeds you . elizabeth : if you would just consider the possibility -- sam : my mom did not murder a man that she did n't know . why do n't you consider the possibility that franco is telling you this to throw suspicion off himself ? elizabeth : do you know for a fact that your mother did n't know tom ? sam : i read about this online . i know that tom baker was murdered outside a dive bar . and i know that my mom is n't gon na murder some stranger outside of a dive bar . it 's not her . i know her . elizabeth : you 're wrong . you do n't know her at all . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know , ava , living with your brother monitoring my every move is no day at the beach . ava : ah . it 's still better than monitoring from your daughters , is n't it ? alexis : [ sighs ] ava : they 're all that really matters . and who knows what might come to pass if they found out what you 've been up to . and , sooner or later , they 're gon na make you choose -- the booze or them . alexis : i 've made my choice . ava : hmm . it 's still so easy to unmake . 'cause you know . you know deep down that the longer julian keeps your drinking a secret , the longer you have to perfect your tricks . alexis : what tricks ? ava : new and innovative ways to drink and get away with it . you 're not ready for sobriety , because your secrets are still safe . and as long as they are ... the drinking will always be an option for you . [ scene_break ] olivia : seems you 've thought of everything . julian : so you 're gon na give your blessing to my plan ? olivia : it better work . julian : i know . or it 's my head . olivia : no . not yours . julian : yeah , i get it . look , liv . i promise you . this will work . olivia : it 's interesting the lengths that you 'll go to for jason morgan . julian : well , i told you , my daughter loves jason . and i 've done enough to hurt sam . olivia : i can see you really love your children and that you would do anything for them . julian : [ sighs ] olivia : i wish i knew what that felt like . julian : i 'm sorry that things worked out for you the way they did . you know , i know you feel cheated . olivia : i was cheated . i was cheated out of love , having my own family . everything that you got for yourself while i was on the other side of the world in exile . julian : [ sighs ] hey . hey , you can still have those things . there 's still time . olivia : [ exhales sharply ] maybe . there 's far less time for the people who screwed me over and way past time for those people to pay for what they 've done . i am now the queen of the jerome family . and from now on , i 'm calling the shots . [ scene_break ] alexis : you know what , ava ? you got a lot of nerve lecturing me about drinking , because i ca n't recall a time when i 've ever seen you without a martini in your hand . ava : [ scoffs ] i 'm not gon na apologize for the occasional cocktail . alexis : occasional ? ava : hey . i 've never driven out of town to some dive bar to drink myself blind and then run over a man in the parking lot . alexis : here you go . enjoy it . and you 're wrong about me , ava . you 're wrong . ava : okay . so then i guess i can expect you to kick julian out and have a real heart to heart with your daughters soon , right ? [ scene_break ] sam : so , first , you accuse my mother of killing tom baker , and now you 're claiming to know her better than i do ? elizabeth : all i 'm saying is your mother has n't been herself for a while . it 's public knowledge that julian went on trial for trying to kill her , and he got acquitted , and your mom lost her license to practice law . if i were her , i 'd be a mess . so are you gon na tell me you really have n't noticed anything ? sam : [ sighs ] no , i -- yeah , i ... no , i have n't . she 's gone through a rough patch . that does n't make her a murderer . i think it 's pathetic that you 're so lovestruck that you 're willing to sell these lies to clear franco 's name . elizabeth : okay , i - i did n't only come here on franco 's behalf . i like your mom , sam . and if she did kill tom baker , then i 'm sure she was only trying to defend herself like i tried to defend myself when he raped me . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] julian : [ sighs ] ava : ah ! finally ! julian : what are you doing here ? ava : i have been trying to reach you since yesterday . julian : [ sighs ] where 's alexis ? ava : swilling hand sanitizer . julian : you know what ? that 's not funny . ava : it 's a little funny . hey . i left you a message , you did n't call me back . julian : yeah , well , i 've been a little busy . ava : as have i . in fact , i got a little visit from sam . she accused me of being behind the bomb that killed morgan . julian : no , she 's wrong . ava : yeah , no kiddin ' . but she does seem certain that there 's a new player on the scene . somebody who 's targeting you and sonny , both -- a woman . so who is it , jules ? and just what the hell kind of trouble have you gotten us into this time ? [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm sorry , darling , that you had to witness that . i know you despise julian every bit as much as i do . but my working with him is really only a means to an end . eventually , i will make him pay for what he did to us -- to you , to me . and it will hurt .

[ scene_break ] sam : you think my mother was raped ? elizabeth : i do n't know . i honestly do n't know . but if she is the one who killed tom , then i 'm sure she suffered at his hands first . and if that 's the case , then you and i both know what she 's going through . she 's hurting , and she needs help . so , please , if you ca n't bring yourself to intervene for franco 's sake ... just do it for your mother 's .

after jamal tracks down imani 's grandmother 's restaurant in silverhill , alabama , he leaves a partial message for jack before losing the signal on his cell phone . recognizing the woman from the photo imani showed him , he places an order and tries to establish a rapport so that he can get some information . after all his questions about family arouse her suspicions , she drugs his food . when he passes out , she confiscates his phone , draws the shade , and calls someone to take out the `` trash . `` elizabeth tracks down chris at the hospital for a nice surprise , but he is tired of her bothering him at work all the time . he goes to ian 's room , where lucy again states that this is all his fault . chris refuses to take the blame for any of this , because he should n't have had to play babysitter while ian stole the serum and then went after kevin . he blames lucy , since ian did this to try to live a normal life for her . after waking up in restraints , ian is relieved to hear that kevin is all right . although lucy accuses him of having gone too far this time , ian intends to keep doing it until they find a cure . chris informs him that it 's over ; he destroyed the rest of the formula and all the research . furious , ian says that he had no right , but lucy tells her lover that he had no right to put everyone through hell . ian still intends to continue , at least to find a way to control his dark side . he asks her not to stop him from leaving . after chris was so mean to her , elizabeth cancels the dinner reservations she had made as a surprise . chris overhears and tries to apologize . elizabeth informs him that she had noticed his anxiety about ian and thought a nice dinner would cheer him up . his attempts to apologize do n't quite placate her , but she agrees to go to dinner anyway -- as long as he pays . meanwhile , caleb is n't pleased to see olivia . telling him that she came by to pick up a few of her things , she removes her coat and states that she has nothing to wear . caleb appreciates her beauty but orders her to get out . olivia responds by trying to seduce him . as they kiss , caleb makes it a point to note that she has n't stolen his ring again . accusing him of being unable to forgive one mistake , she tells him to use the ring to wish that she had never stolen it from him . caleb laughs , amused by the similarity to alison 's request . olivia still wants to get him into bed , but caleb points out that it would n't make a difference , because he still would n't be able to believe a word she says . olivia refuses to ever let him go . she leaves , confident that he will never be free of her . caleb is equally confident that she 's fooling herself .

( laughs ) heading beauty of nature -- its great p.r . , not to mention , victoria really knows what she 's doing . my hiring her proves that i do , too . victor : you know , some people confuse confidence with hubris . one is essential to one 's success . the latter is fatal . genevieve : i 'm sorry if i overstepped by asking victoria to join me but ... we 'll always have paris . victor : yes . that was fun , was n't it ? and i was willing to help you , but now you 're telling me that you want to play hardball . victor : let 's play hard . genevieve , just know that my daughter victoria always returns to me .

[ chuckles ] you say that you do n't mind that samantha is moving in here and all of that , but still , you know something , i noticed , lately , you 've been a little edgy . kate : it has nothing to do with sami . stefano : ah . it 's about your little encounter with madeline ? kate : how dare she threaten me . tell me to keep will away from her precious son . who the hell does she think she is ? stefano : katherine , please , huh ? just put the judge in the past where she belongs . i will take care of her , hmm ?

[ knock on door ] frankie : come in . brot : happy thanksgiving . frankie : hey . brot : i got some apple pie . yeah ? where do you guys want it ? randi : i guess just put it down over there . brot : cool . frankie : hey . take a look at this and tell me if this is a 3 or an 8 on the oregano . brot : whoa . uh , i 'm gon na go with a 3 . if i 'm wrong , you just add more later . randi : hmm . smart man . you see ? i told you we do n't need your mama . brot : whoa . whoa , wait a minute . i thought jesse and angie were coming over . frankie : oh , yeah . i mean , they 're coming by later . natalia will be here any minute . brot : wait . was this all -- was this a setup , man ? frankie : huh ? why would you think that ? what ? because you 're both single ? both cops ? randi : both look really cute together ? frankie : i do n't know man . face it . you and natalia are made for each other . [ randi makes kissing noises ] [ randi giggles ] jake : hey . what are you doing here ? is the baby ok ? amanda : uh , i 'm fine . he -- yes . angie : since amanda witnessed the fight between you and david , i asked her to tell me all the facts before your disciplinary hearing . amanda : i told her that it was a complete misunderstanding and that , you know , it was not your fault . it was my fault for going along with david 's insane plan . jake : listen , i hit david because he 's an ass . you do n't have to blame yourself . angie : uh , listen . we should get going . the board 's waiting . jake : right . the board 's waiting . see you . amanda : um , excuse me . where 's the bathroom ? nurse : right down the hall . amanda : can you watch him for a minute ? nurse : oh , i got to pick up some blood work from the lab . but daycare 's on the -- david : it 's all right . i 'll keep an eye on him while his mother 's gone . nurse : are you sure ? david : yeah , yeah . do n't worry about it . go . you have tests to run . hey . so do i. protesting is awesome . amanda : oh , excuse me . i 'm looking for my baby . i left him with a nurse . he was in a stroller . his name is trevor . nurse : dr. hayward 's son ? amanda : yes . have you seen him ? where have you been ? david : you took the words right out of my mouth . i was on my way to the disciplinary hearing when i ran into trevor with a nurse . she said you were getting sick ? amanda : i 'm fine . [ pager rings ] david : oh . i 'm running late . we 'll talk about this later ? ok . man : i ca n't wait for dr . hayward much longer . angie : i 've paged him twice . he should be here any minute . david : i 'm sorry i 'm late . it was a personal matter . actually , a personal matter is what brought us here today , huh ? jake : your defective personality brought us here today . david : as some of you may know , dr . martin 's wife and i have a child together . recently we 've decided to try and have another one -- through artificial insemination , of course . angie : we 're here to discuss the fight , not your arrangement with amanda . david : well , see , i beg to differ , chief . that fight was a direct result of this arrangement . now , i 'm sure many of you can understand how difficult this must be for dr . martin , having to stand on the sidelines while his wife and i make a life together . jake : first of all , do n't ever speak for me . thank you . and secondly , when this child is born , you 're gon na have nothing to do with my wife . david : well , as you can see , tempers tend to flare . so i have a suggestion . why do n't we do opposite work shifts ? it might work . ok , i 'll take the days , he can have nights . after all , i do have a family . angie : you know , i think it 's a good idea -- space between you two . david , finish up today , and then take the rest of the week off . call it a long thanksgiving with your son . jake : really ? angie : we 'll reschedule work changes monday morning , and jake will rejoin the rotation tomorrow , if everyone agrees . all right . in that case , meeting 's adjourned . david : great . thank you . jake : can i ask you something ? what was that about ? angie : i gave him time off so you would n't lose your job . jake : angie , i do n't care about my job right now . i 'm losing my family . i 'm losing my wife . ever since that insemination , she 's shutting down . she 's not talking to me . angie : well , pressuring her is not going to help . listen , you need to be the safe port in the storm she 's going through . jake : she knows she can talk to me about anything . angie : well , then let her do it in her own time . ok ? answers will come when she 's ready . liza : well , if i can prove that david drugged you into a temporary state of insanity , i can get you acquitted . but annie confessed on videotape to covering up a murder . i ca n't do anything with that . adam : fine . then go . why do you want to waste more time here ? liza : adam , adam , let me help you . otherwise , you are going to spend the rest of your life in prison . adam : living in a mansion without annie is worse than prison . liza : all right . i -- i will talk to annie and i will talk to scott , and i will see if they can offer up anything that will mount a defense . adam : thank you . liza : i 'm not promising that it will get us anywhere . adam : well , just try to keep an open mind . if you can do that , maybe the jury will , too . colby : spin it any way you want . you blew my family apart . you made my dad choose your little fantasy life over his own kids . annie : you and j.r. are the ones who turned their backs , not adam . colby : i want him home . annie : so do i . colby : then do something to get him out of this mess . j.r. : where is he ? colby : who ? marissa : little adam . his school called , and they sent him over here with severe stomach pains . j.r. : he 's getting an ultrasound right now . come on . yeah , looks like we 're going to be the first ... brot : it would never work between me and natalia . she 's too much of a control freak , and she 's always got to be best at everything . randi : what 's wrong with being the best at everything ? brot : oh , i did n't say she is the best . matter of fact , i 'm getting through the academy in half the time that it took her to get through it . randi : oh . so modest . brot : point is , she ca n't accept it . she 's always looking for an opportunity to throw her seniority in my face . randi : ok , have you realized that that might be her way of flirting ? brot : flirting ? randi , come on . natalia has no interest in partnering with me on or off the job . now that we got that out of the way , what else can i do to help ? [ knock on door ] brot : i -- i 'll get the door . randi : yeah , you do that . thank you . brot : ohh . frankie : you 're late . natalia : you 're stanky . man : hey , brot . good to see you , man . brot : yeah . you , too , carlos . natalia : what 's up , brot ? hey , i hope you do n't mind . but carlos and i -- we were talking on patrol , and he does n't have anywhere else to go . frankie : you know what ? just do better . be better . you did n't know brot was coming ? natalia : yes , i knew . joe : how about here ? does it hurt here ? little adam : real bad . joe : yeah ? j.r. : hey , buddy . hey . how is he ? joe : let 's -- let 's talk out in the corridor here . excuse me . j.r. : is it serious ? joe : well , physically there does n't appear to be any problem at all . the ultrasound shows nothing : no masses , no blood , no appendicitis . now , he says that it hurts . but when i pushed , he did n't flinch . j.r. : what are you saying ? joe : i 'm saying i think it 's psychosomatic . j.r. : you think he 's making it up ? joe : oh , no . no , nothing like that . but children sometimes develop tummy aches when they 're troubled by something else , you know , possibly something that they really do n't understand . j.r. : like when a grandfather confesses to murder ? joe : yeah . it 's very hard for a kid to deal with that . j.r. : i 'm a grown man . i still do n't know how . scott : so adam wo n't fight unless annie and i are part of the deal ? is that it ? liza : which i told him was absolutely insane . he is throwing everything away for that woman . scott : you do n't get it , do you ? look , whether they go to prison or not , on some level this is a happy ending for them regardless . liza : really ? and how is going to prison a happy ending ? scott : adam was lost in his own mind . and he needed to be protected while he was there , and then he needed to be let out gently . and annie did all that for him . she would do anything for him . and now he 's doing the same for her . liza : all right , so i get adam 's motivation . i 'll even buy annie 's . but what about you , hmm ? what was your motive in all of this ? what were you doing helping her to hide the truth in the murder ? scott : i lost my father . so saving my uncle was the one way to hold onto the only piece of him that i had left . liza : wow . then i am -- i 'm truly sorry for you . scott : thank you . liza : and if annie really does love adam , then i ... i guess i feel bad for her , too . scott : i do n't think i 'll ever be able to let go , liza . amanda : oh . hey , is the meeting over ? where 's jake ? david : he 's still with angie . amanda : you know exactly why he hit you , and you really deserved it , too . but i 'm sure you went in there , you played the victim card . you made sure he was suspended , right ? david : well , actually , i was the one who was relieved of duty for a few days . but i 'm looking at the positive . i ca n't expect you to take care of trevor on your own while you 're so queasy , right ? amanda : i told you i 'm fine . david : well , that 's the way it is with morning sickness . it comes in waves . one minute you 're fine , the next you 're puking your guts out . amanda : oh , my god , you really are obsessed . just because you want me to be pregnant does n't mean that i am . david : ok , fine . you know , there is an easy way to figure it out . come on . i 'll take you to the lab . we 'll run a test right now . we 'll pick up a home pregnancy amanda : amanda : i do n't need a test to tell me i 'm not pregnant . david : well , you can exhibit symptoms like nausea just days after conception . why not have a test while we 're here ? amanda : i need to get trevor home . david : ok , fine . well , then we 'll stop at the pharmacy on the way out and we 'll pick up a home pregnancy test . amanda : why are you rushing ? the results are gon na be the same now or later . why do you keep pushing me ? david : i 'm pushing now ? you 're kidding , right ? you 're the one who 's been pushing to have this deal over with so you can get on with your life . amanda : it was n't supposed to get done in the back of a car . david : amanda , come on . that 's not what 's bothering you . you 're afraid that if these test results come back positive , you 're gon na be carrying a secret with that baby . and as your belly gets a bigger , so will the lie . amanda : what do you want me to say , david ? that i hate lying to jake ? big news flash . david : i 'm not the one who wanted to keep this a secret . that was your decision . if you want to tell jake the truth , go right ahead . tell him . amanda : you would love for me to hurt him like that . payback for keeping trevor from you ? david : you and i did this for trevor so that we can give him a little brother or sister , right ? amanda : i pray that we did not make a baby , because i want nothing to remind me of that night . david : i think that 's the way you felt before trevor was born , right ? you did n't really want him ? amanda : i did n't know who the father was then . it was very confusing . david : yeah . no , you 're right . it was confusing . but , amanda , come on . i mean , can you even imagine your life without trevor now ? really ? no . absolutely not . you love this little boy too much , right ? and i 'm sure you 're thankful every single day that he 's alive and that he 's with you . well , that 's exactly how you 're gon na feel with this new baby regardless of how he or she was conceived . j.r. : hey , pal . dr. joe says your tummy hurts . little adam : real bad . j.r. : hmm . well , i want to help make it better . but first , i have to understand why it hurts . did something happen at school ? i mean , other than the usual -- books and classes ? somebody say something to you ? something that you did n't expect ? little adam : they were saying stuff about grandpa . marissa : who was ? the other kids ? little adam : the teachers . j.r. : that must have been pretty upsetting . little adam : did grandpa hurt uncle stuart ? j.r. : what happened to uncle stuart was an accident . colby : yeah . grandpa never meant to hurt him . j.r. : just like when you accidentally hit robby with that baseball ? it does n't make you a bad person . it does n't make grandpa adam a bad person either . see ? look , people are gon na say a lot of mean things to make us feel ashamed . but no matter what , we have to remember that we love him . no mater what . we just got to make sure that grandpa does n't forget that either . annie : what do you want ? liza : adam wants me to represent you . annie : right . and you just jumped at that chance ? why ? so you can make sure i 'm locked up for life ? liza : i 'm here to help you because adam wants me to . he says if i ca n't get you off , he would rather spend the rest of his life behind bars . annie : ok . um , so how would you get me acquitted ? liza : i do n't think i can , given your past and your recorded confession . but i tried telling that to adam , and he just wo n't listen . annie : he loves me . liza : ok . so what do you think i should do , hmm ? listen , you come up with a defense , i will do my best to try to get you off . annie : i do n't know . i mean , i ca n't exactly keep using temporary insanity . it does n't make it very temporary . liza : what about demonic possessions ? listen , you and i both know that there is no way to defend what you 've done . brot : i got to tell you , carlos . friends , beer , and a two - point conversion -- thanksgiving does n't get any better than that , right ? carlos : yes , sir . frankie : wow . so bringing carlos home to meet the family ? you guys got to be at least a little serious . natalia : you know , what 's serious is you two trying ... [ whispers ] to shove some other guy down my throat . frankie : hey , brot is not `` some other guy . `` he 's a good man when he served in iraq , and he 's a good man now . give him a chance . randi : yeah . carlos is . those boys are having a ball . brot : you crazy , man . natalia : now , what 's the joke ? i want to laugh . brot : oh , nothing . just a little football humor . natalia : ha ha ha ha ha . carlos : no big thing . jesse : take him down to lockup . angie : scott ? did you arrest scott ? jesse : you know what ? for months everybody in this town has been on me to free kendall . now that i finally have enough to charge the right person , everybody 's bitching -- liza , marissa , you . angie : whoa , whoa , whoa , sweetheart . it was just a question , not an accusation . jesse : i 'm sorry . it 's one of those days . angie : yeah , i 've had a rough one myself . i spent most of it playing referee for jake and david . jesse : why is it when you get what you want , it 's never what you thought it would be ? angie : hmm . i 'm finally chief of staff , and , um , it turns out to be the biggest headache . i mean , i ought to be thankful , and all i do is complain . jesse : thanks . and me . for months , months trying to clear kendall . turns out adam shot stuart . it does n't feel good . trying to get kendall back with her kids -- i mean , it was supposed to be all worth it . angie : but the cost is too high . jesse : i 'm telling you , man . this murder has , like , ripped so many families apart . angie : just like north 's did to ours . had us doubting each other , keeping secrets . at least madison is out of our lives . what ? jesse : it 's from madison . jesse : she slipped me that note at confusion when her father was taking her back to the hospital . angie : did she seem scared ? jesse : well , something was off . it 's obvious she was saying what her father wanted her to say . she seemed like she was drugged . frankie noticed it too . angie : did you show this to frankie ? jesse : no . i did n't want him to get sucked back in just in case it was another one of her games . angie : well , what are you going to do ? jesse : i put a tail on beardsley , and i called madison 's hospital . it all checks out . angie : then why do you still have the note ? jesse : because what if -- in all my rage toward that woman , what if i miss something ? what if she really is in trouble ? angie : jesse , you help people . this is what you do . this is who you are . that is what madison is counting on . no more . not with this woman . we need to save something for our family . natalia : get your hands ... stop . you 're gon na ruin it . brot : i meant to ask you , man . tomorrow there 's gon na be a pickup game behind the church . you want to come ? carlos : yeah . i 'd be down with that . brot : that 's what i 'm talking about . carlos : all right . natalia : brot , um , they just ran out of butter . so she asked that we go to the store . frankie : oh , no . we got butter right here . natalia : margarine . so we should really get to the store . brot : all right , cool . later , man . natalia : what are you doing ? ! brot : what ? natalia : first you move in on my job , then on carlos ? what 's next ? you gon na adopt my father ? brot : first of all , i was n't `` moving in on `` carlos . natalia : whatever . brot : second of all , we 're just sitting there having some beers and watching the game . natalia : and making plans to do this all again tomorrow ? brot : you know what your problem is ? you 're jealous because you wanted some alone time with me . natalia : dream on , soldier ! brot : why ca n't you just admit that you like me ? natalia : i do not like you ! brot : yes , you do ! you like me . frankie : so , uh , carlos , can i get you another beer ? you good ? carlos : i 'm good , man . frankie : oh . he 's good . natalia : it 's not funny , brot . annie : you 're right . when a jury hears that i shielded adam by letting people think my own daughter shot stuart , my case is done . liza : well , i 'm glad that you see it like that . so how do we convince adam of this ? annie : you ca n't . he loves me too much . liza : so what can i do to save him ? annie : take the case like adam wants . and then when we go to court , i 'll plead guilty . i 'll say i manipulated adam . i used his grief to keep him and scott quiet until after the wedding . liza : why are you so willing to take the heat for him now ? annie : because i love adam , and this is the only way to save him . liza : wow . you really do love him , do n't you ? annie : yeah . more than my own freedom . please ? let me do this for him . j.r. : i do n't know how we can help adam if he does n't want to help himself . marissa : is n't that the time when someone needs help the most ? when he ca n't find his own way ? j.r. : marissa , i 've always appreciated that you were there for me . but there was a point where i had to fight for myself . colby : yeah . i mean , we 're doing all this fighting for dad . he 's given up , and annie wo n't let go . j.r. : what did she say to you ? colby : just a bunch of garbage . she wants dad for her own selfish reasons , and he 's going along with it . it 's like she 's brainwashed him . j.r. : i know . i keep trying to help . you ca n't help a man who 's lost his soul . marissa : look , just do n't forget what you told little adam about your dad . j.r. : that shooting uncle stuart was an accident ? marissa : no . i mean that no matter what , you have to remember that you will always love him . in the end , it 's all about love . jake : happy thanksgiving . amanda : to you , too . jake : where 's the little one ? amanda : it was getting late , so i dropped him off at wildwind on the way over here . jake , you did n't have to go to all this trouble . jake : you know , i was thinking to myself thanksgiving -- it sort of has become all about football games and how much can a person eat , you know , and i 'd like to bring it back to the real meaning . amanda : jake -- jake : no , i -- you know , i gave it a lot of thought , and i figured it out . i 'm actually a very lucky guy . i got a beautiful little boy . i got an amazing wife . you know , i -- i 'm a lucky guy . hey , what ? honey , come on . it 's gon na be ok . it 's ok . amanda : no , it 's not . jake , it 's never gon na be ok again . jake : well , listen , whatever it is -- whatever it is , let me help you . what can i do ? amanda : try to forgive me . ñ joe : and since you 've been such a good patient , i 'm going to let you pick out a surprise from the goodie box . little adam : can aunt colby pick out a surprise too ? joe : oh , absolutely . yeah . want to come down ? ohh ! there we go . marissa : hey . you handled that really well with little adam . he 's so lucky to have such a good father . j.r. : yeah . well , while my father keeps rejecting my help , clinging to annie . he 's not even being drugged anymore . he 's making the choice . marissa : can you even imagine that he might just , you know , actually love her ? j.r. : no . he 's fooling himself . he 's desperate to have her love him , and she ca n't do that . annie just loves herself . marissa : people can change , you know . you should know that better than anyone . j.r. : well , first of all , you have to want to change . and she ca n't do that . she 's not capable of sacrifice . even when it comes to saving the man she supposedly loves . liza : well , i just spoke with annie . and -- well , she made a very compelling argument . so i will take on all of your cases , including scott . adam : well , i told you there 's nothing she would n't do for me . liza : yes , she made that very clear . adam : yeah . well , now you 're back on board , let 's get down to business . liza : all right . let me know how 'd like to proceed . adam : start by giving me a phone call .

[ randi makes kissing noises ] [ randi giggles ] jake : hey . what are you doing here ? is the baby ok ? amanda : uh , i 'm fine . he -- yes . angie : since amanda witnessed the fight between you and david , i asked her to tell me all the facts before your disciplinary hearing . amanda : i told her that it was a complete misunderstanding and that , you know , it was not your fault . it was my fault for going along with david 's insane plan . jake : listen , i hit david because he 's an ass . you do n't have to blame yourself . angie : uh , listen . we should get going . the board 's waiting . jake : right . the board 's waiting . see you . amanda : um , excuse me . where 's the bathroom ? nurse : right down the hall . amanda : can you watch him for a minute ? nurse : oh , i got to pick up some blood work from the lab . but daycare 's on the -- david : it 's all right . i 'll keep an eye on him while his mother 's gone . nurse : are you sure ? david : yeah , yeah . do n't worry about it . go . you have tests to run . hey . so do i. protesting is awesome . amanda : oh , excuse me . i 'm looking for my baby . i left him with a nurse . he was in a stroller . his name is trevor . nurse : dr. hayward 's son ? amanda : yes . have you seen him ? where have you been ? david : you took the words right out of my mouth . i was on my way to the disciplinary hearing when i ran into trevor with a nurse . she said you were getting sick ? amanda : i 'm fine . [ pager rings ] david : oh . i 'm running late . we 'll talk about this later ? ok . man : i ca n't wait for dr . hayward much longer . angie : i 've paged him twice . he should be here any minute . david : i 'm sorry i 'm late . it was a personal matter . actually , a personal matter is what brought us here today , huh ? jake : your defective personality brought us here today . david : as some of you may know , dr . martin 's wife and i have a child together . recently we 've decided to try and have another one -- through artificial insemination , of course . angie : we 're here to discuss the fight , not your arrangement with amanda . david : well , see , i beg to differ , chief . that fight was a direct result of this arrangement . now , i 'm sure many of you can understand how difficult this must be for dr . martin , having to stand on the sidelines while his wife and i make a life together . jake : first of all , do n't ever speak for me . thank you . and secondly , when this child is born , you 're gon na have nothing to do with my wife . david : well , as you can see , tempers tend to flare . so i have a suggestion . why do n't we do opposite work shifts ? it might work . ok , i 'll take the days , he can have nights . after all , i do have a family . angie : you know , i think it 's a good idea -- space between you two . david , finish up today , and then take the rest of the week off . call it a long thanksgiving with your son . jake : really ? angie : we 'll reschedule work changes monday morning , and jake will rejoin the rotation tomorrow , if everyone agrees . all right . in that case , meeting 's adjourned . david : great . thank you . jake : can i ask you something ? what was that about ? angie : i gave him time off so you would n't lose your job . jake : angie , i do n't care about my job right now . i 'm losing my family . i 'm losing my wife . ever since that insemination , she 's shutting down . she 's not talking to me . angie : well , pressuring her is not going to help . listen , you need to be the safe port in the storm she 's going through . jake : she knows she can talk to me about anything . angie : well , then let her do it in her own time . ok ? answers will come when she 's ready . liza : well , if i can prove that david drugged you into a temporary state of insanity , i can get you acquitted . but annie confessed on videotape to covering up a murder . i ca n't do anything with that . adam : fine . then go . why do you want to waste more time here ? liza : adam , adam , let me help you . otherwise , you are going to spend the rest of your life in prison . adam : living in a mansion without annie is worse than prison . liza : all right . i -- i will talk to annie and i will talk to scott , and i will see if they can offer up anything that will mount a defense . adam : thank you . liza : i 'm not promising that it will get us anywhere . adam : well , just try to keep an open mind . if you can do that , maybe the jury will , too . colby : spin it any way you want . you blew my family apart . you made my dad choose your little fantasy life over his own kids . annie : you and j.r. are the ones who turned their backs , not adam . colby : i want him home . annie : so do i . colby : then do something to get him out of this mess . j.r. : where is he ? colby : who ? marissa : little adam . his school called , and they sent him over here with severe stomach pains . j.r. : he 's getting an ultrasound right now . come on . yeah , looks like we 're going to be the first ... brot : it would never work between me and natalia . she 's too much of a control freak , and she 's always got to be best at everything . randi : what 's wrong with being the best at everything ? brot : oh , i did n't say she is the best . matter of fact , i 'm getting through the academy in half the time that it took her to get through it . randi : oh . so modest . brot : point is , she ca n't accept it . she 's always looking for an opportunity to throw her seniority in my face . randi : ok , have you realized that that might be her way of flirting ? brot : flirting ? randi , come on . natalia has no interest in partnering with me on or off the job . now that we got that out of the way , what else can i do to help ? [ knock on door ] brot : i -- i 'll get the door . randi : yeah , you do that . thank you . brot : ohh . frankie : you 're late . natalia : you 're stanky . man : hey , brot . good to see you , man . brot : yeah . you , too , carlos . natalia : what 's up , brot ? hey , i hope you do n't mind . but carlos and i -- we were talking on patrol , and he does n't have anywhere else to go . frankie : you know what ? just do better . be better . you did n't know brot was coming ? natalia : yes , i knew . joe : how about here ? does it hurt here ? little adam : real bad . joe : yeah ? j.r. : hey , buddy . hey . how is he ? joe : let 's -- let 's talk out in the corridor here . excuse me . j.r. : is it serious ? joe : well , physically there does n't appear to be any problem at all . the ultrasound shows nothing : no masses , no blood , no appendicitis . now , he says that it hurts . but when i pushed , he did n't flinch . j.r. : what are you saying ? joe : i 'm saying i think it 's psychosomatic . j.r. : you think he 's making it up ? joe : oh , no . no , nothing like that . but children sometimes develop tummy aches when they 're troubled by something else , you know , possibly something that they really do n't understand . j.r. : like when a grandfather confesses to murder ? joe : yeah . it 's very hard for a kid to deal with that . j.r. : i 'm a grown man . i still do n't know how . scott : so adam wo n't fight unless annie and i are part of the deal ? is that it ? liza : which i told him was absolutely insane . he is throwing everything away for that woman . scott : you do n't get it , do you ? look , whether they go to prison or not , on some level this is a happy ending for them regardless . liza : really ? and how is going to prison a happy ending ? scott : adam was lost in his own mind . and he needed to be protected while he was there , and then he needed to be let out gently . and annie did all that for him . she would do anything for him . and now he 's doing the same for her . liza : all right , so i get adam 's motivation . i 'll even buy annie 's . but what about you , hmm ? what was your motive in all of this ? what were you doing helping her to hide the truth in the murder ? scott : i lost my father . so saving my uncle was the one way to hold onto the only piece of him that i had left . liza : wow . then i am -- i 'm truly sorry for you . scott : thank you . liza : and if annie really does love adam , then i ... i guess i feel bad for her , too . scott : i do n't think i 'll ever be able to let go , liza . amanda : oh . hey , is the meeting over ? where 's jake ? david : he 's still with angie . amanda : you know exactly why he hit you , and you really deserved it , too . but i 'm sure you went in there , you played the victim card . you made sure he was suspended , right ? david : well , actually , i was the one who was relieved of duty for a few days . but i 'm looking at the positive . i ca n't expect you to take care of trevor on your own while you 're so queasy , right ? amanda : i told you i 'm fine . david : well , that 's the way it is with morning sickness . it comes in waves . one minute you 're fine , the next you 're puking your guts out . amanda : oh , my god , you really are obsessed . just because you want me to be pregnant does n't mean that i am . david : ok , fine . you know , there is an easy way to figure it out . come on . i 'll take you to the lab . we 'll run a test right now . we 'll pick up a home pregnancy amanda : amanda : i do n't need a test to tell me i 'm not pregnant . david : well , you can exhibit symptoms like nausea just days after conception . why not have a test while we 're here ? amanda : i need to get trevor home . david : ok , fine . well , then we 'll stop at the pharmacy on the way out and we 'll pick up a home pregnancy test . amanda : why are you rushing ? the results are gon na be the same now or later . why do you keep pushing me ? david : i 'm pushing now ? you 're kidding , right ? you 're the one who 's been pushing to have this deal over with so you can get on with your life . amanda : it was n't supposed to get done in the back of a car . david : amanda , come on . that 's not what 's bothering you . you 're afraid that if these test results come back positive , you 're gon na be carrying a secret with that baby . and as your belly gets a bigger , so will the lie . amanda : what do you want me to say , david ? that i hate lying to jake ? big news flash . david : i 'm not the one who wanted to keep this a secret . that was your decision . if you want to tell jake the truth , go right ahead . tell him . amanda : you would love for me to hurt him like that . payback for keeping trevor from you ? david : you and i did this for trevor so that we can give him a little brother or sister , right ? amanda : i pray that we did not make a baby , because i want nothing to remind me of that night . david : i think that 's the way you felt before trevor was born , right ? you did n't really want him ? amanda : i did n't know who the father was then . it was very confusing . david : yeah . no , you 're right . it was confusing . but , amanda , come on . i mean , can you even imagine your life without trevor now ? really ? no . absolutely not . you love this little boy too much , right ? and i 'm sure you 're thankful every single day that he 's alive and that he 's with you . well , that 's exactly how you 're gon na feel with this new baby regardless of how he or she was conceived . j.r. : hey , pal . dr. joe says your tummy hurts . little adam : real bad . j.r. : hmm . well , i want to help make it better . but first , i have to understand why it hurts . did something happen at school ? i mean , other than the usual -- books and classes ? somebody say something to you ? something that you did n't expect ? little adam : they were saying stuff about grandpa . marissa : who was ? the other kids ? little adam : the teachers . j.r. : that must have been pretty upsetting . little adam : did grandpa hurt uncle stuart ? j.r. : what happened to uncle stuart was an accident . colby : yeah . grandpa never meant to hurt him . j.r. : just like when you accidentally hit robby with that baseball ? it does n't make you a bad person . it does n't make grandpa adam a bad person either . see ? look , people are gon na say a lot of mean things to make us feel ashamed . but no matter what , we have to remember that we love him . no mater what . we just got to make sure that grandpa does n't forget that either . annie : what do you want ? liza : adam wants me to represent you . annie : right . and you just jumped at that chance ? why ? so you can make sure i 'm locked up for life ? liza : i 'm here to help you because adam wants me to . he says if i ca n't get you off , he would rather spend the rest of his life behind bars . annie : ok . um , so how would you get me acquitted ? liza : i do n't think i can , given your past and your recorded confession . but i tried telling that to adam , and he just wo n't listen . annie : he loves me . liza : ok . so what do you think i should do , hmm ? listen , you come up with a defense , i will do my best to try to get you off . annie : i do n't know . i mean , i ca n't exactly keep using temporary insanity . it does n't make it very temporary . liza : what about demonic possessions ? listen , you and i both know that there is no way to defend what you 've done . brot : i got to tell you , carlos . friends , beer , and a two - point conversion -- thanksgiving does n't get any better than that , right ? carlos : yes , sir . frankie : wow . so bringing carlos home to meet the family ? you guys got to be at least a little serious . natalia : you know , what 's serious is you two trying ... [ whispers ] to shove some other guy down my throat . frankie : hey , brot is not `` some other guy . `` he 's a good man when he served in iraq , and he 's a good man now . give him a chance . randi : yeah . carlos is . those boys are having a ball . brot : you crazy , man . natalia : now , what 's the joke ? i want to laugh . brot : oh , nothing . just a little football humor . natalia : ha ha ha ha ha . carlos : no big thing . jesse : take him down to lockup . angie : scott ? did you arrest scott ? jesse : you know what ? for months everybody in this town has been on me to free kendall . now that i finally have enough to charge the right person , everybody 's bitching -- liza , marissa , you . angie : whoa , whoa , whoa , sweetheart . it was just a question , not an accusation . jesse : i 'm sorry . it 's one of those days . angie : yeah , i 've had a rough one myself . i spent most of it playing referee for jake and david . jesse : why is it when you get what you want , it 's never what you thought it would be ? angie : hmm . i 'm finally chief of staff , and , um , it turns out to be the biggest headache . i mean , i ought to be thankful , and all i do is complain . jesse : thanks . and me . for months , months trying to clear kendall . turns out adam shot stuart . it does n't feel good . trying to get kendall back with her kids -- i mean , it was supposed to be all worth it . angie : but the cost is too high . jesse : i 'm telling you , man . this murder has , like , ripped so many families apart . angie : just like north 's did to ours . had us doubting each other , keeping secrets . at least madison is out of our lives . what ? jesse : it 's from madison . jesse : she slipped me that note at confusion when her father was taking her back to the hospital . angie : did she seem scared ? jesse : well , something was off . it 's obvious she was saying what her father wanted her to say . she seemed like she was drugged . frankie noticed it too . angie : did you show this to frankie ? jesse : no . i did n't want him to get sucked back in just in case it was another one of her games . angie : well , what are you going to do ? jesse : i put a tail on beardsley , and i called madison 's hospital . it all checks out . angie : then why do you still have the note ? jesse : because what if -- in all my rage toward that woman , what if i miss something ? what if she really is in trouble ? angie : jesse , you help people . this is what you do . this is who you are . that is what madison is counting on . no more . not with this woman . we need to save something for our family . natalia : get your hands ... stop . you 're gon na ruin it . brot : i meant to ask you , man . tomorrow there 's gon na be a pickup game behind the church . you want to come ? carlos : yeah . i 'd be down with that . brot : that 's what i 'm talking about . carlos : all right . natalia : brot , um , they just ran out of butter . so she asked that we go to the store . frankie : oh , no . we got butter right here . natalia : margarine . so we should really get to the store . brot : all right , cool . later , man . natalia : what are you doing ? ! brot : what ? natalia : first you move in on my job , then on carlos ? what 's next ? you gon na adopt my father ? brot : first of all , i was n't `` moving in on `` carlos . natalia : whatever . brot : second of all , we 're just sitting there having some beers and watching the game . natalia : and making plans to do this all again tomorrow ? brot : you know what your problem is ? you 're jealous because you wanted some alone time with me . natalia : dream on , soldier ! brot : why ca n't you just admit that you like me ? natalia : i do not like you ! brot : yes , you do ! you like me . frankie : so , uh , carlos , can i get you another beer ? you good ? carlos : i 'm good , man . frankie : oh . he 's good . natalia : it 's not funny , brot . annie : you 're right . when a jury hears that i shielded adam by letting people think my own daughter shot stuart , my case is done . liza : well , i 'm glad that you see it like that . so how do we convince adam of this ? annie : you ca n't . he loves me too much . liza : so what can i do to save him ? annie : take the case like adam wants . and then when we go to court , i 'll plead guilty . i 'll say i manipulated adam . i used his grief to keep him and scott quiet until after the wedding . liza : why are you so willing to take the heat for him now ? annie : because i love adam , and this is the only way to save him . liza : wow . you really do love him , do n't you ? annie : yeah . more than my own freedom . please ? let me do this for him . j.r. : i do n't know how we can help adam if he does n't want to help himself . marissa : is n't that the time when someone needs help the most ? when he ca n't find his own way ? j.r. : marissa , i 've always appreciated that you were there for me . but there was a point where i had to fight for myself . colby : yeah . i mean , we 're doing all this fighting for dad . he 's given up , and annie wo n't let go . j.r. : what did she say to you ? colby : just a bunch of garbage . she wants dad for her own selfish reasons , and he 's going along with it . it 's like she 's brainwashed him . j.r. : i know . i keep trying to help . you ca n't help a man who 's lost his soul . marissa : look , just do n't forget what you told little adam about your dad . j.r. : that shooting uncle stuart was an accident ? marissa : no . i mean that no matter what , you have to remember that you will always love him . in the end , it 's all about love . jake : happy thanksgiving . amanda : to you , too . jake : where 's the little one ? amanda : it was getting late , so i dropped him off at wildwind on the way over here . jake , you did n't have to go to all this trouble . jake : you know , i was thinking to myself thanksgiving -- it sort of has become all about football games and how much can a person eat , you know , and i 'd like to bring it back to the real meaning . amanda : jake -- jake : no , i -- you know , i gave it a lot of thought , and i figured it out . i 'm actually a very lucky guy . i got a beautiful little boy . i got an amazing wife . you know , i -- i 'm a lucky guy . hey , what ? honey , come on . it 's gon na be ok . it 's ok . amanda : no , it 's not . jake , it 's never gon na be ok again . jake : well , listen , whatever it is -- whatever it is , let me help you . what can i do ?

[ scene_break ] ava : luke spencer and bill eckert were cousins looking nearly identical . and this bill eckert was supposed to have died . julian : shot by frank smith 's men when they were trying to kill luke . so that would give this eckert guy more than enough motivation to try to dismantle luke spencer 's life . ava : and you think that eckert is the man that you met during witness protection , that he has impersonating luke . this bill eckert is our old boss . julian : it 's only a theory . i mean , there 's no proof that this bill eckert did n't die . but everything else fits . ava : and you think eckert is the person who sent that guard after me ? that eckert wanted me dead ? julian : yes ! he tried to kill me , too ! it 's the whole reason i confessed to killing anthony zacchara . ava : oh , you got yourself locked up to protect yourself ? julian : it was the last play i had left . believe me . but once i got myself locked up , our boss , via middleman johnny zacchara had his thugs jump me . and now they 're threatening lucas , which is why i need to get to him today , and i will . it 's just ...

ava : yes , indeed she is . after that guard threatened me , i did a little checking around . madeline 's transport is leaving from the back gate , near the laundry . julian : when is this ? ava : 6 : 30 tonight . then , when madeline gets on that van , i 'm gon na be on it , too . julian : i 'm coming with you . shawn : so , how in the hell are you gon na do that ? sonny : i 'm working on it . shawn : anything i can do to help ? sonny : i already said that you ca n't go anywhere near michael . and the cops have no proof that bill eckert is impersonating luke . pretty much their hands are tied . they ca n't even get a warrant to search . so , they 're gon na call him in , question him . he could snap , right ? and he could kill michael . the most important thing right now is to protect my son . shawn : right . sonny : right ? shawn : you got it . sonny : listen . you know , bill eckert , he 's like a time bomb . he could snap any second . i do n't want him to know what 's coming . shawn : got it . understood . sonny : now , please tell me that nobody else knows that the coffin 's empty . shawn : well , um ... someone knows . sonny : who ? shawn : jordan . jordan : thomas ? t.j. : what are you doing here ? wait . why bother asking ? it must be work- related . jordan : i do n't blame you for being angry with what happened with your father . but what shawn and i did was unforgivable , and if there 's any way that i -- t.j. : it 's not just about my father . it 's about molly 's father . the jerome organization was gon na kill him , and you work for the jeromes . i know you had to be a part of that . jordan : i was n't . in fact , i 'm the reason that they did n't kill ric lansing . i am responsible for bringing him back to molly alive . t.j. : mom , you 're `` team jerome . `` how did you save ric , then ? did you flip on the jeromes ? dante : hey , luke . fluke : i did n't expect to see you here . what 's up ? lulu : dante ! hey ! hey , dad . fluke : hi , love . lulu : i thought you had to work . how did you get time off for aunt ruby 's memorial ? dante : hey , baby , i just , you know , made it happen . it was important to you . lulu : thank you . thank you . dante : i know your family is important , and aunt ruby was a big part of that , right ? especially to luke and bobbie . how does that work , luke ? aunt ruby was your aunt , obviously . that makes her bill eckert 's mom ? jordan : ric lansing is an innocent man , and he 's also the father of the girl that you love . i 'm not gon na just stand by and allow some jerome associate to kill him . no . molly deserves to have her father back . t.j. : so , what did you do ? jordan : i found out where they were holding lansing , and shawn and i , we got him out of there together . t.j. : did you actually go against the jeromes ? jordan : i had to . t.j. : so , does this mean you 're out of the business ? you 're going legit ? jordan : not exactly . t.j. : so , how is it that the jeromes did n't kill you ? jordan : i joined the other side . i work with shawn now and his crew . sonny : jordan knows about the grave ? shawn : she caught on to what was happening . i had to bring her in on it . sonny : i thought we made it clear that no one is gon na know . shawn : trust me . jordan is loyal to me and to the organization . she even helped me . sonny : son of a bitch . i thought when you said , `` we , `` i thought it meant you and duke dug up the grave , not jordan . shawn : she 's not gon na tell anyone we tampered with the grave site . she 'd be in just as much trouble as me . sonny : well , i sure hope you 're right . shawn : look . jordan is the least of our problems . sonny : all right . well , i got to go . i got to make ... i got to make plans with ... shawn : well , good luck . see you on the outside . ava : no ! you ca n't come with me ! it 'll be twice as hard with the two of us . julian , i 'm trying to save my life here . julian : what about my son 's life ? okay , think about what you just went through with your baby , what it felt like with franco , with nina . when they had her . you thought she was in danger . that 's what i 'm going through right now . ava : julian , lucas is a grown - up . he 's a grown man . julian : we 're talking about lucas right now , okay ? your nephew . ava : [ sighs ] julian : look . the same maniac that wants us both dead is after my son right now ! come on . who better to watch your back than your own brother , hmm ? you 're gon na need some protection out there . let 's do this together . ava : okay . yea , it 'll be the two of us against anything and anyone that stands in our way . julian : there 's something else you need to know . ava : what ? hey . what the hell are you doing here ? i 'm writing you up , okay ? you 're lucky if they do n't give you solitary . i said , come on . dante : so , ruby was bill 's mother ? bobbie : no , dante . bill eckert was from our mother 's side of the family , and aunt ruby was from our father 's . she was his sister . dante : i 'm sorry . you 'd think i 'd have it sorted out by now . i find the details of lulu 's family still very murky . i get confused as to who is who . fluke : we 're here to honor ruby , not to explain every branch of the spencer tree to you , dante . so , a little respect , please . beautiful flowers , lucas . lucas : she was a beautiful lady . fluke : that she was . lulu : is everything okay ? dante : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah . everything 's great . heather : you betrayed me . my own flesh and blood . i did everything you asked , and you turned on me . really ? well , i 've had lots and lots of time to think about getting my revenge . and then i stumbled onto nina . franco : come on ! it 's not like there was any lasting damage . there was no bomb on the warehouse door . you wound up safe and sound . and if you think about it , you 're probably better off in shadybrook than you were in ferncliff . so , as usual , things have worked out to your advantage . heather : it does n't feel that way . franco : heather , please . we can talk about this , right ? heather : there 's just one thing to say . you 're locked up tight in pentonville . and there 's nothing you can do to stop me . nina : hey ? can i talk to him , please ? now ? heather : oh , sorry . sure . goodbye , franco . it was really nice talking to you . [ telephone beeps ] nina : hello ? franco ? franco ? he 's ... he 's not there . heather : really ? what happened ? nina : i do n't know . i must have gotten disconnected or something . heather : no , maybe he just had to hang up in a hurry . he is in jail . nina : no . maybe i can call him back . do they still have that star-6 - 9 thing ? i could try that . heather : he 's on a cell phone . i do n't think it works on those . maybe it just ran out of juice . here . i 'll put it back on the base and recharge it . [ telephone ringing ] franco : come on , nina . pick up . [ telephone rings ] nina : ah ! that 's probably him ! give me the phone . [ ringing continues ] [ telephone rings ] nina : thank you . franco ? franco : nina , listen to me . nina : what ? time 's up . nina : you -- you ca n't just do that . that was an important call ! you ca n't just cut off my conversation ! franco : damn it . heather : there , there , little bird . everything 's gon na be all right . bobbie : thank you , aunt ruby , for everything you ever did for luke and me . your kindness more than made up for our father 's cruelty . luke ? [ sniffles ] anything to add ? fluke : no , barbara jean , i think you said it all . lulu : it was really beautiful , aunt bobbie . lucas : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , you guys , but i got to run . i 'm expected at the hospital . bobbie : oh . aunt ruby would be so proud of you -- a doctor at general hospital . lucas : yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'll see you all tonight at the party uncle luke 's throwing , right ? bobbie : i would n't miss it . lulu : i ca n't miss it . the haunted star is the venue . dante : it is ? since when ? lucas : i 'll let lulu fill in on the details . i 'll see you all tonight , right ? fluke : see you . dante : so , i got to head back to the station . i can walk you to your car , and you can tell me all about this party of your dad 's that you and johnny are throwing . lulu : i thought you cooled off about johnny . dante : yeah , not really . i just have other things i need to take care of . ready to go ? lulu : yeah , yeah . bye . fluke : mmm . lulu : mmm . fluke : thanks for coming by , son - in - law . dante : i 'm really glad i could be here for this . bobbie : is n't it amazing ? after everything that happened to us when we were kids , we still turned out okay . fluke : [ chuckles ] t.j. : so , you 're working with shawn ? shawn : did i hear my name ? t.j. : mom just told me she switched sides . she 's working with you now , which explains why you 're both on the pier . shawn : uh , yeah . yeah , your mom and i are working together . how do you feel about that ? t.j. : i 'm surprised . shawn : when you think about it , t.j. , it 's a good thing , right ? you were able to accept what i do for sonny . ca n't you accept what your mom 's doing now ? come on , t.j. give your mom a break . you want her back in your life . i know you do . t.j. , it 's pretty hard staying mad all the time , is n't it ? t.j. : shawn 's right . i do want you back in my life . jordan : oh . t.j. : [ sighs ] i 'm happy you two are on the same side . fluke : yes , you know , it is remarkable how well we turned out , given the circumstances . and we do owe all of it to dear aunt ruby . bobbie : yeah . and knowing her , she 'd be telling us to get out of the cold and let her rest in peace . fluke : [ chuckles ] well , she 's gone now , so i guess we can defy her . bobbie : yeah . fluke : do you mind if i have a moment or two alone with her ? bobbie : oh , i figured you would . fluke : i 'll see you tonight . bobbie : yeah . i wish ruby could be there to witness your generosity . fluke : she will be , in spirit ... waiting for the rest of the family to join her . bobbie : absolutely . fluke : bye . bobbie : bye . fluke : see you later . julian : you talk to shawn ? he do what you asked ? sonny : he dug up eckert 's grave . julian : and ? sonny : the coffin ... the coffin 's empty . julian : [ sighs ] fluke : what the bloody hell ? damn it ! [ next_on ] carly : ( to jason ) that gun and ski mask was n't the only thing i found in your bag . johnny : ( to lulu ) what 'd dante do this time ? michael : dante ? luke : ( to helena ) what have you done ? sonny : ( to julian ) your sister 's gon na have to get some protection . ava : ( fighting with a prison guard ) damn it ! where are you taking me ?

<s>[INST] bobbie : aunt ruby ... she died sixteen years ago today . lulu , you 're too young to remember her . lucas : i remember her , though . i was still so little , when we used to come in for breakfast , she 'd give me a phone book to sit on . she used to make me heart - shaped pancakes . bobbie : she loved you , lucas , and i know how much you loved her . julian : hold on , lucas . i 'm getting out of here as soon as i can . i swear . ava : psst ? julian ? julian : ava ? how in the hell did you get over here ? ava : never mind how . i did what it took . i could n't stay where i was . sonny -- he sent someone to kill me . shawn : i tried to call you last night , but whoever answered your phone sounded a lot like franco . so i hung up . sonny : it was franco . shawn : what happened ? how 'd he get your phone ? guard : cell check . franco : oh , hey , hey . [ chuckles ] nice to see you guys . thanks for dropping -- guard : face the wall ! franco : okay . [ clears throat ] what are you looking for ? guard : anything you should n't have . sonny : son of a bitch got the phone . it happened . you do that thing i told you to do ? shawn : yeah . i dug up eckert 's grave . sonny : are we any closer to knowing if luke is bill eckert ? shawn : that 's affirmative . sonny : was bill eckert 's body where it should be ? dante : what the hell , huh ? can you see if any other graves have been disturbed ? and can you check with the office , see if they 've have any surveillance footage from last night ? i will call this in . a dug - up grave ? who the hell would want to do this ? jordan : that would be me . fluke : rise and shine ! ca n't lounge around in bed all day , you lazy bastard . look what i brought you . breakfast ! you 're getting skeletal . you need to eat something ! luke : [ muffled yelling ] fluke : huh ? oh ! oh , right ! sorry ! i apologize . how rude of me . luke : [ panting ] that party you told me about last night -- what 's the reason for throwing it ? fluke : just think of all the wonderful people that are gon na be there -- all the people that we know and love . all there on the haunted star for a worthy cause . it 's gon na be oodles of fun ! especially when the boat explodes , along with the flesh and blood of our flesh and blood . heather : hey . nina : hey ! diana ! how are you ? heather : good morning , nina . nina : good morning . heather : i brought this for you . i saved it from breakfast . it 's jelly ! nina : oh , my goodness . thank you . do n't you want it ? heather : no . i 'd rather you have it . it makes me happy to see you happy . nina : we 're so lucky to have found each other . heather : i just hope i 'm not about to lose you . nina : why would you lose me ? heather : well , was n't that your lawyer you were talking to yesterday ? it must 've been good news . you looked very happy . are they letting you out of here ? nina : can you keep a secret ? heather : are you kidding ? `` shhh `` is my middle name . nina : [ laughs ] that was n't my lawyer . that was a ruse . heather : you had me fooled . who was it ? nina : franco ! franco : i just got out of solitary yesterday . i do n't know what i could have gotten my hands on . guard : this ? ava : a guard came to kill me yesterday . and if he had n't been called away to some disturbance in another cellblock , i 'd be dead right now . and i know that sonny sent him to do it . have you seen him ? julian : sonny ? yeah . i mean , all the time . ava : well , has he clued you in on his plans for me ? julian : no . not at all . look . i think sonny 's got other things on his mind other than you at the moment . ava : [ laughs ] then he 's got you fooled . julian : maybe you 're blaming the wrong person . ava : [ sighs ] you 're sure ? you 're sure that you have n't seen sonny confabbing with some guard , huh ? julian : okay , ava , i 'm telling you i 've had no indication that sonny 's trying to kill you . in fact , there 's no way for him to do it . he does n't have any friends in here -- not a one ! ava : well , it sounds to me like you might be his friend , julian . julian : well , i would n't set up a hit on my own sister . ava : would n't be the first time , would it ? julian : how do you know for sure that this guard was sent to you on sonny 's orders ? ava : the guard just said that i have a lot of enemies . but the last time i saw sonny , he swore that he was gon na have me killed . god knows he 's tried before ! who else could it be ? julian : how about our old boss ? luke : you 're going to blow up the haunted star tonight ? ! fluke : i am aware that the boat was a wedding gift from helena cassadine and therefore has enormous sentimental value . luke : i do n't care about the damn boat ! what about the people on it ? ! lulu : i do n't have any clear memories of aunt ruby , but i 've heard a lot of stories . bobbie : ruby was a character . [ bobbie and lucas laugh ] bobbie : [ sighs ] she went through a lot in her life . but through it all , she always held her head up high . and she always treated everyone with kindness and compassion . she was so good to luke and me after our mother died and our father took off . we were scared to go to florida to live with her . but she loved us as if we were her own . i think about her every day . but on this day ... the day that she left us ... i always try to honor her in some special way . lucas : what ? ! heart - shaped pancakes ? mom , did you -- bobbie : let 's just say ruby is still watching the kitchen . dig in ! dig in ! lulu : oh , wait , wait . we should wait for carly . bobbie : carly 's not coming . carly texted me to say that she 's looking after a sick friend . lucas : oh , yeah . that jake doe guy was brought in yesterday with hypothermia . lulu : the new bartender at the metro court . well , maxie and i think he looks more like someone in the military than a guy who mixes drinks . lucas : yeah , yeah , that 's the guy . seems like carly 's really taken him under her wing . actually , [ chuckles ] that is an understatement . she barged into his cubicle , demanding that i tell her what was going on with him . and i probably should have , i do n't know , fought back or cleared out the room or something , but you guys know how carly is when she gets like that . there 's no point in arguing with her . bobbie : carly 's been so upset over all this mess with sonny and michael . i 'm glad she has something to focus on . lucas : so , does that mean you wo n't be guilting her for not coming ? bobbie : [ laughs ] sweetheart , your sister is basically un - guiltable . lucas : [ laughing ] yeah ! bobbie : and besides , i think ruby would be the first to tell us to just focus on our own lives and not to worry about her . i 'm glad the two of you could be here with me to remember her today . lulu : what about my dad ? is he coming ? bobbie : i thought so . but , you know , luke 's been so volatile about our family recently . maybe he changed his mind . dante : why would you dig up a body ? jordan : it 's william eckert 's . he 's luke spencer 's cousin , and , uh ... dante : yeah , i know who it is , but why would you want to dig him up ? jordan : well , i was helping out shawn . dante : all right . why would shawn want to dig this guy up ? jordan : because your father asked him to . sonny wanted to know if there was a body in there . shawn : let me tell you . digging up eckert 's coffin ? that was a hell of a job . [ sighs ] but we managed . we opened the coffin . eckert 's remains were n't in it . sonny ... the coffin was empty . fluke : the people on the boat ? oh , you mean like lulu , lucas , barbara jean ? i 'll be squiring tracy because what choice do i have ? but do n't worry your pretty , little head about me . i 'll make a discreet exit before things get explosive . and i 'll be somewhere safe , watching as all those people go sky- high and then fall back to earth , like so many snowflakes of burning confetti . luke : why ? why are you doing this to me ? ! ava : you think our old boss tried to kill me ? faison ? i thought he disappeared . and would he really come after me because i refused to follow through with the hit on michael ? julian : oh , sis , you are way behind the times . look . i need to fill you in about who 's been running the show since you and i -- and sonny -- got locked up . sonny : i 'm not surprised that eckert 's coffin was empty . i mean , i figured that luke 's impostor was bill . now he 's out there , wanting revenge on me and jerome and everybody else he thinks did him wrong . shawn : so , you want me to handle him ? sonny : no . i think i want to handle this bastard myself . luke : why are you doing this ? if you really are bill eckert , then you have to know that i did n't -- fluke : i never said i was bill eckert ! that man is dead and buried . luke : yeah . he 's supposed to be . but i 'm starting to think that he is n't . fluke : did you ever hear the expression `` do n't believe everything you think `` ? luke : it 's the only thing that makes sense ! but if you are bill , then ... my family is your family . we 're family , you son of a bitch ! is it because i was supposed to be shot , but you caught the bullet ? is that it ? is that why you 're doing this ? ! dante : sonny believes that luke -- the man we think is luke -- is actually bill eckert . what about faison ? jordan : well , apparently , faison was just a ploy to take the heat off eckert . they never brought home lulu 's father from miscavige . it 's a bait and switch . dante : so , the man alexis brought to the quartermaines and had the lovely reunion with lulu and tracy was bill eckert , doing a better imitation than he has in the past ? jordan : yeah . it would seem so . dante : and he 's been living luke 's life ever since . jordan : unfortunately . dante : wait a minute . michael said shawn went to the old spencer house , and he was sure that sonny had sent him there to keep an eye on him . jordan : no , no . michael 's wrong . shawn was there so that he could tail fake luke . lucas : seems to me like luke 's really turned a page . he was telling michael and me yesterday that he 's been spending a lot of time thinking about his past , and i guess he 's ready to let go of the childhood home you guys grew up in . bobbie : well , that 's a complete reversal -- not that i 'm complaining . lulu : dad is even throwing a party for the clinic tonight . bobbie : oh . lulu : mm - hmm . bobbie : well , i 'm glad . i 've been a little worried about him the last few weeks . lulu : it 's strange that dad would n't be here . he told me he would . dad would never miss honoring his aunt ruby . i wonder where he is . fluke : i do n't hate you , `` puke . `` hate is such a negative emotion . it takes so much energy . you 're not worth it . luke : if you want revenge for what frank smith did to you , take it out on me . do n't take it out on my family ! just take that bat and finish me off ! do it ! [ cell phone rings ] fluke : let me see who this is , first . oh , it 's little lulu , your beloved daughter , at the other end of the line . so close ... and yet so far . [ ringing continues ] fluke : hi , cupcake . what are you up to ? heather : franco ? the man you told me about yesterday ? the famous artist ? he called you ? really ? i thought he was in prison . nina : oh , he 's in prison . that 's true . but he 's very smart . and he smuggled a cell phone into his cell . see what i did there ? cell phone , cell . heather : yeah , it 's darling . what did he say ? nina : he said that he 's sorry that we got separated and that he really cares about me . and he 's gon na find his way back to me . heather : what a guy ! nina : [ chuckles ] and guess what ? i told him all about you . [ scene_break ] guard : i 'll check the next cell . you write him up . guard : it 's back to solitary for you , franco -- one less headache for us in gen - pop . franco : please , i do n't think i can do that . i just -- ca n't we make a deal ? guard : a deal ? [ scoffs ] you do n't have anything i want . [ remembers conversation with sonny ] franco : and how long do you think they 're gon na put you in that tiny , little cell with no windows when i tell them all about your contraband phone and your plan to bust out ? julian : well , i do n't think you want to do that . franco : really ? try me . actually , i think i might . [ scene_break ] ava : luke spencer and bill eckert were cousins looking nearly identical . and this bill eckert was supposed to have died . julian : shot by frank smith 's men when they were trying to kill luke . so that would give this eckert guy more than enough motivation to try to dismantle luke spencer 's life . ava : and you think that eckert is the man that you met during witness protection , that he has impersonating luke . this bill eckert is our old boss . julian : it 's only a theory . i mean , there 's no proof that this bill eckert did n't die . but everything else fits . ava : and you think eckert is the person who sent that guard after me ? that eckert wanted me dead ? julian : yes ! he tried to kill me , too ! it 's the whole reason i confessed to killing anthony zacchara . ava : oh , you got yourself locked up to protect yourself ? julian : it was the last play i had left . believe me . but once i got myself locked up , our boss , via middleman johnny zacchara had his thugs jump me . and now they 're threatening lucas , which is why i need to get to him today , and i will . it 's just ... [ sighs ] i do n't have any way out of here yet . ava : i do . dante : you got to get out of here . if shawn or any of sonny 's guys sees you talking to me , you 're out in the cold . if bill eckert or his people see you talking to me , you 're dead . jordan : okay , i 'll go . but tell me what you 're gon na do . dante : michael said shawn was trying to break into the basement of the old spencer house . do you know what he was looking for ? jordan : well , the luke impostor came up from the basement when he met with helena cassadine . dante : this guy was hanging with helena cassadine ? jordan : yeah . shawn said he had a cozy , little chat . dante : well , then , it 's an impostor for sure , because helena cassadine has brought nothing but misery to the spencer family . so , there 's no way they were having a cozy anything . jordan : well , helena and the luke impostor , they left together . and shawn , he wanted to stay around to see what the hell was going on in that basement . and i guess the luke impostor , he locked the door . and shawn tried to pry it open , but that 's when michael showed up . dante : [ sighs ] i bet i know what shawn was going to find in that basement . jordan : what ? dante : i 'm thinking my father - in - law could be down there , if eckert has n't killed him yet . jordan : you ca n't tell anyone you suspect this . eckert will kill them -- and you -- in a heartbeat . dante : yeah . i got to get over there . jordan : okay . just be careful . dante : yeah . you , too . fluke : oh , that 's right . this is the anniversary of ruby 's death . huh ? no , no , no . i just got ... tied up . yeah . no , i 'll be there . lulu : you missed breakfast , but we 're about to head to the grave site . you want to just meet us there ? fluke : at the cemetery ? okay . i 'll see you then . i 'm so sorry . we 're gon na have to continue this another time . but that 's all right . this will give you a few hours to ponder why ... why ... why am i doing this to you ? why ? why ? sonny : coward called me yesterday when i still had the phone . he knows that jerome told me that he was behind all this and that i warned michael to stay away from luke . so , what does he do ? son of a bitch threatens my son and jerome 's . he said he 'd take out michael and lucas . shawn : there 's got to be something i can do . sonny : you ca n't get anywhere near michael . he slapped you with that restraining order so you ca n't do anything to protect him . shawn : well , neither can you , not from in here . sonny : jerome and i are breaking out today . dante : you head back to the station , write it up . i got answers . i got answers . i 'll fill you in later . okay . fluke : dante . what are you doing in the boneyard ? heather : you mentioned my name to that famous artist franco ? really ? well , what did he say ? nina : um ... oh . well , i told him the truth . i told him that i found a friend and that i was very happy . and he was just excited because i was n't so alone . and he was very grateful to you . and so am i . and he hopes to meet you one day . ahh ! my two favorite people in the same room . heather : how about the next - best thing ? nina : what 's that ? heather : next time franco calls , maybe i can say hello . franco : all right . do we have a deal ? guard : what is it ? franco : what is it ? that is a genuine , priceless franco ! that is psycho - art ! that thing is worth a fortune . trust me , especially now that i 'm in jail . dude , trust me . that thing is worth , like , one year of your salary . guard : if i find out that i ca n't , you 're going back to solitary . franco : deal . nina : i hope franco gets a chance to call again . i 'm gon na keep my fingers crossed , my arms . cross your fingers . heather : me too ! [ both laugh ] ms. clay , it 's your lawyer again . you have fifteen minutes . nina : yes , sir . is it you ? franco : hey , i just called to say hi . how you doing today ? nina : oh , better and better . my friend diana brought me a jelly doughnut . she wants to talk to you . franco : no , no . i 'd rather talk to you . heather : hello , franco . heather : i 'm going to go talk to him over here . nina : why ? heather : you do n't want the guards seeing me talk to your lawyer , do you ? relax and eat your doughnut . franco : heather , tell me this is n't you . heather : okay . this is n't me . franco : what are you doing in shadybrook ? heather : well , i broke out of ferncliff and miscavige . so , they had to stash me somewhere . franco : you stay the hell away from nina . heather : you mean your new girlfriend ?

[ scoffs ] lucy : yeah . duke : i know nina clay kidnapped her once before . hmm . lucy : i just do n't know . duke : she 's not of sound mind . but this time , my money 's definitely on michael . [ scene_break ] julian : so , you drugged michael ? kiki : we switched his allergy medication . julian : with what ? kiki : morgan 's the one who did it . he knows . but when he takes it with alcohol , it 's like -- it 's a date - rape drug , like he 's been roofied . he might have one drink , but he acts like he 's had 10 . bartender : what can i get you ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : apparently , that overdose of lsd that you endured has affected your memory because you are no longer a member of the quartermaine family . franco : i know . alexis : well , then , you would also know that you are no longer a shareholder . franco : of elq ? alexis : mm - hmm . franco : i do n't ? alexis : no . franco : no ? are you sure ? olivia : okay , okay , what 's going on here ? alexis : when we found out , much to our relief , that you are not jason 's twin brother , your share of elq stocks reverted back to the family . franco : you 're right . when i gave up being a quartermaine , sadly , i also had to give up my shares of stock . ned : you did n't give up anything . those shares were never yours to begin with . franco : no biggie . i hardly miss that measly 5 % , especially now that i have ned 's 11 ... and a half . [ scene_break ] liesl : the quartermaines ' ? why would he set foot in their house ? nina : i do n't know . but if you go now , you can probably catch up with him . liesl : ah , yes , of course . he must have had the need to assuage their turmoil . and with his particular brand of charm , who better ? nina : i do n't know . according to franco , uh , the quartermaines had no use for him , even when they thought he was a quartermaine , so i do n't think he 'll be assuaging anyone , charm or no charm . liesl : nonsense . franco is a genius . surely even that family of dummkopfs can respect that . nina : 'cause everyone 's an idiot , right ? i can really see the similarities between you and my mother . liesl : has it ever occurred to you why he went there ? nina : nope . but i 'm sure he 'll tell me . liesl : well , i 'm sure it must be obvious that he went to do damage control , because you are obviously the lunatic who kidnapped baby aj . [ scene_break ] bartender : you 're michael quartermaine . i 'm sorry , but i ca n't serve you . okay . [ scoffs ] fine , give me a - a club soda , then . kiki : morgan and i , we never meant for this to get so out of hand , you know ? we just wanted michael to look like he was an unfit guardian so that cps would take avery from him . julian : okay , look . i 'm gon na guess that this whole thing was morgan 's idea . did he happen to explain to you that , you know , drugging someone is assault ? kiki : um , no . no , he did n't . i - i do n't think he knew that . julian : kiki , this is really serious . kiki : i know . and , you know , i do n't even care what happens to morgan and me . all i know is that avery -- she was safe when she was with michael . and now it 's our fault that child services took her . so it 's our fault that she go kidnapped .

[ sighs ] hope : [ exhales shakily ] [ crying , chuckles ] she 's all ours . liam : yeah . hope : [ sobs ] liam : yeah , she is . let 's go . ridge : liam does n't know what he 's talking about . yes , th - there 's a problem with the paperwork . but flo told us she gave birth to phoebe . brooke : flo told us that . but not her mom . remember when we met shauna ? my daughter kept praising flo about bringing this beautiful little girl into our lives , and shauna was shocked . she did n't know anything about the adoption . she did n't know anything about phoebe . well , do n't you think that 's a little strange ? i mean , now that i know shauna and flo even better , i think that 's even more strange . ridge : how ? brooke : because they 're so close , ridge . shauna would do anything for her daughter . she did n't even know about the pregnancy . ridge : right . you just said she did n't want her to know about the pregnancy , so ... this is not a conspiracy . brooke : well , maybe there is . now that we know there 's an issue with the birth certificate . ridge : there is not an issue . it was some kind of a clerical error . it happens all the time . brooke : all right . what else did liam say ? ridge : no . this is not about what he said . this is -- we -- we 're here to help steffy , to support her , not make it worse . brooke : you said he talked to the doctor in las vegas . ridge : and the doctor said she did n't know anything . brooke : well , apparently liam thinks there 's more to it . ridge : be - because he 's going through something . something 's going on with him . brooke : like what ? ridge : i -- brooke : what is it , ridge ? ridge : i do n't -- i do n't know . i just know he -- this is not like him . he would n't do that . he would n't say things that could hurt steffy and hope . brooke : okay , well , just tell me . ridge : [ sighs ] i - i -- it 's -- i -- i 'm ... brooke : come on . just tell me . i can see that it 's bothering you . tell me . ridge : liam thinks that beth is still alive . brooke : [ scoffs ] shauna : you are not going to prison for this . flo : no , mom . i have to pay for what i 've done . shauna : no , the doctor does . he did this . flo : and i went along with it . i did n't stop him . [ sighs ] i was about to tell wyatt everything when liam burst in . the way they looked at me , mom . i knew that this day was gon na come , but there is nothing that could have prepared me for that conversation with wyatt , and how devastated he was with me . flo : it 's over . wyatt . forrester . this family . it 's all gone .

[ sighs ] but there 's other weird stuff that was said . um ... liam thinks that phoebe is beth . brooke : what ? ridge : this whole time , we were concerned about hope grieving . we forgot all about liam . brooke : oh , my god . [ sighs ] ridge : i think this all started when thomas and hope dropped their little boy off at the house . they just wanted to spend the night together , you know ? brooke : so you think that 's what set him off ? ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : he had a little mini - breakdown ? ridge : i think what set him off was a comment that douglas made . brooke : what comment ? ridge : that phoebe is beth . that 's where liam got the idea . brooke : why would douglas say something like that ? ridge : he just misunderstood something his father said . brooke : he heard it from thomas ? ridge : yes , he heard it from thomas . and i - i 've been trying to call him , but he 's not answering his phone . because he 's on his honeymoon . and i know how you feel about their relationship , but we -- we just got to accept it . so does liam . they 're together now . there is no liam and hope , and there is no beth . brooke : [ scoffs ] i need to get to the bottom of this . ridge : liam does n't have any answers . brooke : well , flo might . ridge : y - you think she 's involved in this ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't know , ridge . i just want answers . do n't you ? flo : wyatt could n't understand why i did n't come forward months ago . shauna : it 's easy to pass judgment when you 're not the one who could be arrested , honey . flo : no , mom . i let people suffer . i - i stood by and watched hope and liam 's life fall apart . of course wyatt could n't understand . i mean , how could he ? no one could . i wanted to tell her so many times , but i allowed everyone to talk me out of it . shauna : you can blame me . please . tell the logans that i begged you to keep quiet , 'cause i did . i was so scared for you , i could n't even think straight . flo : no , mom . i 'm -- i am responsible for my own actions . i ca n't keep thinking about myself anymore . the only thing that matters right now is that hope is reunited with her baby . hope : i want to see her . i want to hold those little fingers and hear her voice and ... [ giggles ] i just -- i want to hold her forever and never let her go . liam : she did n't make it . hope : [ moaning ] no ! liam : i 'm so sorry . hope : no ! dr. buckingham ! i need to see my baby ! hope : [ laughing ] [ sniffles ] you know , the night you were born , i never got to hold you . we 're gon na erase that night . we 're gon na start over . [ beth babbles ] mommy 's here . [ chuckling ] yeah . beth : a - ma , mama ! mama , mama , mama ! hope : [ crying ] mommy 's here . shauna : i 'm not letting anyone put you behind bars . that 's not gon na happen . [ sighs ] all right . we 've got to get out of here . just get in your car and start driving . flo : i 'm not gon na run from this . i need to face everyone . especially hope . shauna : honey , that 's very noble of you , but [ scoffs ] now is not the time . flo : mom -- shauna : let 's go . flo : i love you . i know you love me , and i know you mean well . but i can not take your advice about this anymore . i should have had the courage to come forward months ago . shauna : honey -- [ door opens ] brooke : pam said that she was in the building . oh ! flo . there you are . we need to talk to you . ridge : hey . we 've got some questions . brooke : [ sighs ] did liam contact you about phoebe 's birth certificate ? flo : he did . ridge : well , he 's concerned , and he has some very interesting scenarios . brooke : he said that he talked to the doctor , and the doctor does n't know you . and then he called the hospital , and the hospital has no record that you were there . flo : he told me that , too . brooke : well , did he also tell you what he thinks ? about beth ? that beth is alive ? that that little girl that steffy is raising is not phoebe . it 's beth . shauna : look , if you think my daughter did something wrong , please , just say it . flo : mom -- brooke : flo . [ sighs ] my daughter brought you into this family , into this company . and you gave us so much . you gave steffy so much . that precious little girl . or did you ? are we wrong ? or is liam wrong ? what is it ? what 's going on here , flo ? we need to know . is that little girl ... that little girl , did you give birth to her ? flo : no . i 'm not her mother . brooke : what ? w - well , if you 're not her mother , then who is ? who is it , flo ? tell me , damn it ! i want to know . is it hope ? is that little girl my granddaughter ? flo : yes . yes . brooke : [ gasps ] flo : phoebe is really beth . she 's been here this whole time with steffy . phoebe is hope 's baby . [ beth cooing ] hope : [ chuckles ] liam : this is our little girl . she 's healthy and perfect . hope : your mommy missed you . my little angel . you were in my heart every day . but today we 're reunited . yeah . get to erase all of that pain . and begin anew . [ sobs ] with your mommy . and your daddy . [ sighs ] and we 're never , ever gon na let you go . liam : never again . . . . . . .
hope and liam hold onto each other and rejoice in the knowledge that their daughter , beth , is alive and they both have known her all along . liam promises he will tell her everything as much as he knows . they drop by the cliff house and proclaim she is all theirs . brooke questions ridge of why he looks worried . quickly he tells her liam is trying to find answers and he is starting with the birth certificate and finds flo never gave birth at the vegas hospital . maybe something is wrong with the paperwork , but he prepares her that liam thinks beth is still alive and among them . shauna drops in on flo at work while she is rumbling through her desk . shauna wants to know what is wrong . flo admits she could not wait . wyatt figured it out for himself . he knows all now . she does not think he will want her in his life now . shauna assures her she is not going to prison for this . flo says she knew there would be consequences but nothing prepared her for the conversation with wyatt . it is over . and now hope 's whole family will be angry at her as well they should . hope ca n't quit crying with tears of happiness and shaking off disbelief . brooke is shocked that liam thinks beth is alive . and he also thinks phoebe is beth so of course this upsets steffy . it was a comment douglas made while spending the night at steffy 's – he said phoebe was beth .

[ sighs ] and we 're never , ever gon na let you go . liam : never again . . . . . . .Summarize.[/INST]hope and liam hold onto each other and rejoice in the knowledge that their daughter , beth , is alive and they both have known her all along . liam promises he will tell her everything as much as he knows . they drop by the cliff house and proclaim she is all theirs . brooke questions ridge of why he looks worried . quickly he tells her liam is trying to find answers and he is starting with the birth certificate and finds flo never gave birth at the vegas hospital . maybe something is wrong with the paperwork , but he prepares her that liam thinks beth is still alive and among them . shauna drops in on flo at work while she is rumbling through her desk . shauna wants to know what is wrong . flo admits she could not wait . wyatt figured it out for himself . he knows all now . she does not think he will want her in his life now . shauna assures her she is not going to prison for this . flo says she knew there would be consequences but nothing prepared her for the conversation with wyatt . it is over . and now hope 's whole family will be angry at her as well they should . hope ca n't quit crying with tears of happiness and shaking off disbelief . brooke is shocked that liam thinks beth is alive . and he also thinks phoebe is beth so of course this upsets steffy . it was a comment douglas made while spending the night at steffy 's – he said phoebe was beth .</s>

i remember this halloween . a.j . : [ laughs ] i remember that mask ! monica : shh ! shh ! shh ! shh ! a.j . : i scared the hell out of jason . he screamed so loud . dad dropped a drink in his lap , and grandfather swore that he was having chest pains . monica : and you were so pleased . all you did was just laugh . michael : you should have seen your face . starr : you nearly gave me a heart attack , michael . michael : oh , i 'm sorry . the girl who had snakes as pets and can name every spider in north america -- come on . you loved it . starr : okay . maybe i loved it , and maybe i did n't . i 'm just glad that you ended up coming over here . michael : yeah , well , there 's no point sitting around dwelling on everything . so , does this mean i get my treat ? starr : that depends . what did you do to deserve it ? michael : well , i am a vampire , so , uh , i can give you eternal life . starr : no , no , no ! no . i 'm kind of liking my life just the way it is right now . lulu : hmm . i do n't know if i like you better as a cop or a robber . dante : hmm . well , i just , uh , got back from the community center . you know how we go there every halloween , dress up , take the kids badges and cuffs and hats , and they chase us around ? lulu : mm - hmm . dante : anyway , this one kid finally got me . a little kid , 5 years old -- he goes , `` i arrest you forever ! `` i guess he was happy i was a robber . lulu : i -- i think i 'm happy you 're a robber , too . dante : that 's good . lulu : well , it 's sweet that you do that . dante : yeah , these kids need something positive in their lives . lulu : yeah . i mean , uh ... a lot of kids do . dante : ah . is that one of the pamphlets we got from dr. v. ? lulu : yeah . it 's adoption . i do n't know . i mean , i know that a lot of kids are born every year and they need a good home . dante : and ... ours could be one of them ? maxie : well , that was the best birthday cupcake i 've ever had . thank you . emma : you 're welcome , maxie . maxie : you know , today 's a special day for you , too . emma : it 's halloween . maxie : it is halloween ! and you should be wearing your costume already . i know you 're gon na look gorgeous . i ca n't wait to see it . go put it on . emma : okay . maxie : okay . so cute . patrick : so cute . maxie : thank you for remembering . it means more than you know . patrick : everything you 've done for me , it 's not a problem . and speaking of halloween , what 's the big plan tonight there , rock star ? maxie : actually , i 'm moving out tonight . duke : this photograph does n't do you any justice . anna : really ? it 's the least of my problems . i 've got to find the person who finished off bernie abrahms , 'cause that 's the one that killed jason morgan . duke : are you making any progress ? anna : yeah , i 'm waiting on forensics . plus , there 's some fibers that i found at the scene . they 're working those up . with any luck , it 'll lead me to our man . or it 's all unrelated ... and he 's out there somewhere , just laughing at me . duke : i can assure you he 's not doing that . todd : what the hell are you doing ? luke spencer . luke : hmm . no wonder you did n't recognize me . last time , you were the one with the mask . todd : i -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . luke : oh , really ? sure , you do . the gardener 's shack . me tied to a chair , held hostage by heather webber and some spud with a hockey mask and a machete . todd : you were held hostage for a long time . clearly , you 're hallucinating . have you considered professional counseling ? luke : i knew that heather was a whack - job . she could n't be gotten to . but her accomplice -- he was something else . he could have freed me , if he 'd had a soul . todd : [ chuckles ] assuming that there was an accomplice -- and i 'm sure that he does have a soul , somewhere -- maybe he just figured that you would get yourself out of that mess by yourself . luke : really ? he was about your height , about your weight , and he had a fixation with fine italian footwear . todd : right . so starving , dehydrated , but you noticed the shoes . [ chuckles ] but that 's good , because it 's the details that make a story compelling . if you 're here because i 'm a publisher , i 'm afraid i ca n't print your story . i 'm sorry , but you being held hostage by heather -- that 's old news . luke : you 're a very skilled dissembler , manning . but i can spot a bluff . let 's not play any more games . i know that you were her accomplice . just admit it . patrick : why are you moving out ? maxie : i ca n't impose on you and emma . patrick : since when ? maxie : [ sighs ] look , we 're not even technically gon na be family anymore . once i sign the divorce papers , matt will be my ex - husband and you 'll be my ex- brother - in - law . patrick : you are robin 's cousin . you 're always gon na be family to us . maxie : sometimes family can get on your very last nerve . patrick : okay . all right . i know that we had some rough sledding in the beginning , but i feel like we 've settled into something here . maxie : i kind of feel like i 'm in limbo , you know ? like -- like i 've convinced myself that i 'm helping take care of you and emma , but what i 'm really doing is avoiding living my own life . patrick : yeah . no , i 'm not gon na lie to you . i feel like you had a little bit of that . maxie : okay , and i 'm not gon na do that anymore . i think it 's time that i get out on my own and -- i do n't know -- start a life with someone else . patrick : spinelli ? maxie : you know how life is all about timing ? mine happens to be very terrible . he 's seeing someone new . she 's cute and smart and very nice . she speaks spinelli better than i do . they can about comic books or astronomy for hours . and the horrible part is i actually really like her . not enough for spinelli , though . i want him with me . patrick : was that the birthday wish ? maxie : me and spinelli forever . yeah , it 's got to happen . i told him about the divorce . and once he sees that i 'm moving out of here , he 'll know i 'm serious . patrick : all right . uh , well , in that case , i 'm not gon na stand in your way of moving forward . maxie : ditto . todd : see a guy in a hockey mask and a decent pair of shoes , and you just assume that it 's me ? i -- i do n't even know what to say to you . luke : hockey mask , shoes , known association with heather . you were her boss . you were up to your neck in the baby switch . todd : no . i was a victim . i trusted her before i figured out that she was a complete and total lunatic . luke : uh - huh . well , then , you wo n't mind i take a look at your shoe rack . todd : no , no , not at all , right after you get your commissioner girlfriend who talks funny to give you a warrant . but i do n't think she 'll do that , because she might have told you , but she was there when the charges against me were all dropped . luke : well , she does n't anything about the shoes yet . todd : well , um , if you want to waste her time and the taxpayers ' money going through my shoe closet , go ahead , knock yourself out . but for now , i think it 's time for you to your treat and leave . luke : i know it was you , manning . i know it . i ca n't prove it -- yet -- but i 'll give you a word of warning -- when the wheel of karma comes around , it 's gon na roll right over you . todd : you forgot your mask . luke : oh , no , you keep it -- for next time . anna : what do know about the second shooter ? duke : only what you told me . but i do know you 're smart , you 're strong , you have great instincts , and at the end of the day , you always get your man . anna : thanks for the vote of confidence . i really do have to come to a resolution on this case . i owe that to the quartermaines . duke : hey , tonight is my first night at the haunted star , and they 're having this big halloween bash . i 'd love it if you 'd come . will you do that ? lulu : i do n't know about adoption . i just -- i have to get used to the idea of little rocco not looking like you . dante : well , there 's no guarantee the he would have been as handsome as his father and that he would have been a boy , anyway . lulu : i know . you know what i mean ? i just know how much it means to you to have your own child . dante : we want to be parents . that 's the point , right ? lulu : so you do n't care if the child is n't biologically yours ? dante : no . who cares where the baby comes from ? it 's you and me and how much love we have to give that counts . michael : oh -- starr : [ laughing ] i 'm try -- i was trying to be sexy and smooth , and i could n't get your cape off . michael : let me do it . see if i can do this . starr : do you want help ? michael : here you go . i got it . starr : that 's better . oh ! oh , my god ! michael : [ laughing ] are you okay ? michael : oh , i 'm all right . starr : we 're absolutely hopeless . this is not -- michael : maybe , uh , we should move this into the bedroom . or not . it 's -- i -- starr : no . it 's , um -- yeah . no . we could . it 's just -- what 's this ? michael : oh . um , monica gave that to me . starr : well , that 's -- that 's jason , right ? so , who 's -- who 's that ? michael : that 's my father . monica : you know , i think i have these costumes in a closet somewhere . i did n't throw out anything from your childhood . a.j . : i 'm glad you did n't throw them out . monica : me too . me too , because after you ... left , i would come up here a lot and think about you and jason and when you were younger . and i would regret the time i did n't spend with you boys , when alan and i were off doing something else . the times that we missed -- so many of them . now jason is gone .

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

[ scene_break ] jason : do the police have any idea who killed a.j . ? alan : the police do have a suspect . it 's courtney . jason : not a chance . alan : she had motive and opportunity . she actually went to the bahamas to see a.j . apparently , they were n't legally divorced . monica : a.j . submitted phony divorce papers in the court , so essentially he and courtney were still married . sam : what about jason 's marriage to courtney ? monica : it was never legal . courtney did n't know about this , not until a.j . read about her engagement to jax . then -- then he summoned her to the bahamas to talk about a divorce . jason : how do you guys know all this ? monica : courtney told alan . alan : a.j . suggested that they try their marriage again , but courtney refused . then a.j . asked her for money . they argued -- in front of witnesses -- and then she left . a few hours later , they found a.j . stabbed to death in his hotel room . apparently , courtney had to have this divorce in order to marry jax . she just must have lost control and decided to get rid of a.j . jason : alan , i 'm sorry . i do n't care where she was . i do n't care what a.j . said to her . she did not kill a.j . [ scene_break ] rachel : thanks to my medical expertise and flawless planning , there 's a set of your fingerprints on the letter opener that killed a.j . which , by the way , is now in the possession of a trusted associate . now , upon my order or if something should happen to me , it 'll go straight to the port charles police . courtney : i do n't believe you . rachel : are you ready to risk your life on that ? you know , it 's convenient that we 're both blonds . and if a witness saw me around a.j . 's room , they 'd probably just assume it was you . courtney : this is sick . rachel : not at all . this is going to be very healing for both of us . i 've already gotten rid of your biggest mistake , and now you 're going to get rid of mine . courtney : no . i ca n't kill steven webber . rachel : he deserves it . you know , under that goofy , good - guy exterior is someone just as vile as a.j . courtney : look , i am not like you , ok ? i am not a killer . rachel : you 're a martial arts expert . you 're very comfortable with physical confrontation . you 're confident and you 're independent . i could n't have chosen someone better to dispose of steven . courtney : no . i wo n't do it . rachel : well , then the world will know that you killed your ex - husband and then confessed to the stranger sitting next to you on flight 17a from the bahamas to miami . courtney : and it 'll be your word against mine . rachel : you had motive . your fingerprints are on the murder weapon . who do you think the police are going to believe ? but you know what ? if you want to go down to the police station , i 'll go with you . better yet , why do n't we just stop by the district attorney 's office ? he 'll figure out which one he wants to prosecute .

's drunken brain cells into the big apology number two -- that 's fine . i 'm here about his original confession to me and only me -- before j.r. even realized he was a suspect . your honor , j.r. chandler admitted that he lured his wife into a trap and almost killed me and my son , before jail and court and charges , before his idiot wife even knew what he 'd done . i heard them both . babe could n't have fed him any bs manipulation at that point . his confession then had to be the truth . i heard every word , j.r . it 's too bad for you i did n't die .

[ aidan sighs ] jack : look , i know i 'm the bad guy , the one that does n't want to see lily happy , but let me tell you something , aidan . if one day you 're fortunate enough to be a father , you will choose safe over happy for your daughter every day of the week . aidan : if lily was my daughter , i would give jonathan a big thank - you , and i would mean it , because that man saved your daughter 's life .

[ courtroom quiets ] judge : this is my court . i will decide who will be heard . it 's a little late for a surprise witness . kendall : well , i 'm here now -- j.r. chandler 's real victim , kendall slater . the other victim , my son , could n't rush in to testify , because he 's an infant , and he 's still fighting for his life in an incubator . we 're the ones j.r. chandler almost killed . da : if i may , your honor , we would like to hear what mrs. slater here has to say . kendall : i 've got the goods , your honor . j.r. chandler told me everything . he confessed to me . you 're busted , j.r. nobody leaves this room until you pay .

[ judge pounds gavel ] mr. blaine : look , if i may , your honor ? judge : make it fast . mr. blaine : my client 's deluded misstatement of guilt is obviously the result of alcoholic dementia and his wife 's admitted manipulations . he was obviously misled and mistaken when he apologized to mrs. slater . kendall : you mean that load he shoveled in front of my husband and my child 's father ? well , ok . you can lie about that one . babe can claim that she brainwashed j.r. 's drunken brain cells into the big apology number two -- that 's fine . i 'm here about his original confession to me and only me -- before j.r. even realized he was a suspect . your honor , j.r. chandler admitted that he lured his wife into a trap and almost killed me and my son , before jail and court and charges , before his idiot wife even knew what he 'd done . i heard them both . babe could n't have fed him any bs manipulation at that point . his confession then had to be the truth . i heard every word , j.r . it 's too bad for you i did n't die . [ scene_break ] jonathan : it started in new york when i got that guy away from lily . erin : yeah . jonathan : the pain was bad , it was real bad , but i was more scared than anything , because like you thought -- i mean , with the tumor back , when i turned into that -- that sicko , that thing that locked lily down in the cave , did all those horrible things , i mean -- lily , erin , of all people , lily -- erin : no , the cat scan came back clear , all right ? jonathan : `` perfectly normal `` ? erin : yeah , ok . so you remember the cave , you remember new york , you remember following lily . jonathan : every detail . erin : yeah ? jonathan : god . everything 's -- everything 's faster , sharper , clearer . erin : you married lily . jonathan : yeah . erin : yeah . jonathan : she married me . erin : when you were , you know , how you were and -- and now you 're -- you 're jonathan . i mean , god , if you 're back -- if you 're back , what happens to your marriage ? [ scene_break ] lily : jonathan 's my husband , and i wo n't listen to anything false or negative you have to say about him . jack : ok . i 'm sorry i jumped to conclusions . i -- i hope jonathan 's ok or will be soon . lily : thank you for being so helpful to me and jonathan and for being happy for us in our marriage . i 'll call you when i know how jonathan is . amanda : you need anything , lily , call me . that was stupid . i know better than that -- no hugging , no touching . just thank you , take care . jack : see you , amanda . amanda : all right . jack : this must be very difficult for you -- i mean , given jonathan 's medical history , everything he 's been through . lily : i worry for him . jack : you know , sweetheart , the doctors may want to keep him here for a while just -- just for observation . i 'd love it if you 'd come home in the meantime . we could catch up a little bit , spend some time . lily : my home is with jonathan now . [ scene_break ] erica : why is this even up for debate ? my daughter is the victim and she has crucial evidence . mr. blaine : oh , this is not an evidentiary proceeding , your honor . da : no , just a bait and switch on the client 's part . bianca : your honor , my sister came here from her hospital bed . mr. blaine : surely the district attorney does n't want my -- david : maybe you can share a cell with madden . one of you is bound to kill the other . the other will get life for murder -- win - win . babe : leave him alone . [ judge pounds gavel ] judge : this is a hearing , not a trial , and no one speaks unless i allow them to . bianca : sit down . judge : i have n't held mrs. slater in contempt , because i wanted to hear her out . now , i would like to hear her under oath . bailiff , swear in kendall slater . you may take the stand . [ scene_break ] lily : you want jonathan to be sick . you think if i 'm alone , i 'll turn back into a little girl that lives with you . jack : no , honey , i do n't think you 'll ever be a little girl again . but i will always love you , no matter how angry you get at me or how much we do n't agree . lily : well , jonathan and i have agreed to disagree . and he taught me that love is when you want someone else to be happy , and you do n't want me to be with jonathan , and that makes me happy . therefore , you do n't really love me . jack : huh . aidan : hey . lily , jonathan 's awake , and he asked to see you . lily : oh . thank you . aidan : apparently , lily 's joy is n't contagious , huh ? jack : you got me , aidan . i 'd rather see jonathan hit by a truck then have him spend one more day as my daughter 's husband . [ scene_break ] jonathan : lily and i are n't over , erin . we 've just started . and now -- now i can really support her . i mean , i -- not have to scrape by on minimum wage . forget the studio apartment . i -- i can give lily a home -- a yard and vacations , mit and grad school . i can -- i can support her and take care of her in so many more ways now , whatever she needs . erin : whoa . what about what you need ? though , i mean , things are different . you 're -- you 're different now . what was enough before -- it might not be enough now . jonathan : you mean sex . erin : you have changed , and lily has n't . jonathan : no , she has n't , you 're right . she 's still perfect . lily chose me , loves me . and i want to spend the rest of my life trying to deserve her . [ scene_break ] kendall : `` babe was supposed to walk through that door , not you `` -- j.r. 's words , an admission , a confession to clarify that he did it , no one else . j.r. arranged for his wife to meet him at the fusion construction area where the building supplies would topple over onto her head and take her down . he missed . he got me instead . he said it , i heard it . everything else here you heard today from babe and j.r. -- it 's just lies . mr. blaine : one question . judge : go on . mr. blaine : how exactly did you respond to mr. chandler 's alleged statement ? kendall : well , what do you think i did ? i freaked out . the guy was supposed to be my best friend , and to find out that he was the reason i had to fight for my life and my child 's life made me sick . mr. blaine : except i asked you what you did . what action did you take ? did you slap j.r. ? did you warn babe ? did you yell ? did you call a nurse ? did you call the police ? what exactly did you do ? kendall : well , i could n't exactly beat him senseless if that 's what you mean . i stayed in my hospital bed where j.r. put me . mr. blaine : more specifically , where you were in a coma , when you claim to have heard this -- a coma , being defined as `` a state of deep unconsciousness . `` your honor , the dreams of a comatose patient are not admissible evidence in this or any court . kendall : no -- you ca n't just blow this off . he confessed to my face , your honor . tell them the truth . [ scene_break ] lily : you 're awake . how do you feel ? jonathan : ok . hmm -- more than ok , lily . it 's -- it 's really amazing , actually . lily : you do n't even have to tell me . i can see for myself . [ scene_break ] jack : aidan , you once told my daughter that you were her boyfriend just to save her from having a broken heart . now , has she changed so much , is she so much stronger now than she was then ? aidan : maybe she 's always been strong , jack , and we just could n't see it . jack : is this about erin ? is erin the reason you 're all of a sudden jonathan lavery 's number one fan ? because i can remember a time when you wanted nothing more than to exact revenge on jonathan for his killing our friend edmund and your mate steve . aidan : well , things change . children become adults , and they fall in love , and they get married . jack : yeah , well , not everything changes . all those people that jonathan murdered -- they 're still dead . i 'm not sure at all about all this tumor stuff and all this wrongly prescribed antipsychotics or any other excuse that lavery 's tried to fly , but i am sure that he was a woman - beating , homicidal maniac . now , what assurances do i have that he wo n't one day be those very same things again ? aidan : did you see lily 's smile when i mentioned that jonathan was awake ? it lit up the room , even one with bad paint and fluorescent lights . jack : yeah ? well , that does n't exactly answer the question , now , does it ? [ aidan sighs ] jack : look , i know i 'm the bad guy , the one that does n't want to see lily happy , but let me tell you something , aidan . if one day you 're fortunate enough to be a father , you will choose safe over happy for your daughter every day of the week . aidan : if lily was my daughter , i would give jonathan a big thank - you , and i would mean it , because that man saved your daughter 's life . [ scene_break ] judge : counselors ? i want this mess cleaned up . do we have a case or not ? i 'm calling a brief recess while you figure it out . bailiff : all rise . kendall : hey . the judge ca n't just ignore me , right , and just -- and just believe those two ? i mean -- bianca : well , it may not be all his call . kendall : just because i could n't blast him does n't mean i did n't hear him . erica : we need some expert testimony on comas , doctors . i 'm going to make some calls . bianca : you actually remember hearing j.r. admit everything ? kendall : yeah . blah , blah , dixie , blah , blah , babe , blah , blah , almost killed me and my son . erica : did you hear anything else ? kendall : yeah , i heard other sounds and voices . ryan : this can not be good for you , all right ? you 're getting yourself all worked up . you need to rest . bianca : you -- you remember everything from your room ? kendall : if someone said it , i heard it . now , i know i do n't remember everything right now , but i will . zach : was anyone else there -- a nurse , orderly , anything that could 've heard something ? kendall : hmm . only babe . the pathetic skank who he tried to kill was the one who heard him confess . she 's -- i mean , she 's disgusting . why am i even surprised ? erica : yeah , as if that piece of trash has n't already hurt our family enough . kendall : well , if j.r. gets off , it 's on babe 's head . babe : i 'll be right back . j.r. : ahem . ryan : ahem . j.r. : kendall , please -- ryan : you know what ? you know what ? let 's do this another time , because i ca n't kill you in a courtroom , can i ? can i kill him in a courtroom ? zach : i think it 's ok . ryan : yeah ? j.r. : kendall , could you please hear me out ? [ scene_break ] babe : i remember this feeling . it still makes my stomach turn -- knowing that i 've let you down , that i 've done something that you 'll never understand and never forgive . bianca : all your promises to make things right , to make it up to me and my family , and this is what you do ? you 're lying to protect the man who almost killed my sister and her baby . babe : you and kendall -- you two , you have the fiercest love that i 've ever seen , the way that you stand up for each other , the way that she hates me because of what i did to you and how you clearly feel about what i 'm doing to her . look , i know that you are worried about your sister and her tiny little baby , but i promise you , bianca -- j.r. truly does love kendall and he would never purposely hurt her , so you do n't have to worry about her anymore . bianca : right now , i 'm worried about you .

[ door opens ] victor : so ... i 'm glad you 're better , old boy . i think we should talk about your son , dylan . paul : it is the strangest thing . one moment i 'm gunned down by a mixed up kid , and the next moment ... i find out i 'm the father to a grown son . nikki 's son . victor : yep . christine : i guess they have a lot to say to each other . nikki , i apologize for being so harsh these past few days . i did n't mean to come down on you like i did . nikki : oh , listen , it was the heat of the moment . i understand . you were terrified of losing paul . christine : why would n't you be ? he 's the father of your son . nikki : well , it 's my turn to apologize . for telling him about dylan . i promised you i would n't . christine : i know , but you told him to keep him from hurting himself . he was all worked up . who knows what would have happened ? nikki : that 's all i was really trying to do . christine : so , i guess the truth is out there now . that 's always a good thing , right ? nikki : right . paul : nikki and i were just kids . it was a moment in time . we did n't even know she was pregnant . victor : you do n't think she 's having a tough time with the idea that she may have deprived you of having a son . paul : oh , that was all ian ward 's doing . victor : huh . paul : by the time he was through with her , she could n't see straight . no , no . i do n't -- i do n't blame nikki for thinking that he 's the father . victor : well , i 'm very glad to know that you do n't hold that against her . paul : right . you know , i guess i just have to believe that things work out for a reason . that we were n't meant to raise dylan . victor : mm - hmm . paul : and we were so young , anyway . we probably would have screwed it up . we found him when we were supposed to find him . and it turns out to be a good thing , or you 'd be saying wonderful things about me at my funeral , and we would n't be talking . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa . who says i would say wonderful things about you ? [ both laugh ] victor : should n't take that for granted . paul : no . it is ironic , though , that the child i helped give life to ... did the same for me . avery : paul has n't been in to visit . he 's still recovering from surgery . what made you think he was here ? dylan : i 'm not sure . i just -- i just remember paul talking to me , willing me to live . nikki : i just thank god for keeping you here with us . avery : nikki , hi . nikki : now , i know you might be a little too old for me to scold you , young man , but do n't you ever scare us like that again . you hear me ? dylan : loud and clear . nikki : mm ! i just might permanently hold onto that hand , if that 's okay . dylan : i might have trouble driving to work in the morning , but i 'll see what i can do . nikki : oh , i love you . and so does your father . sharon : wow . so , mariah grew up as one of ian 's disciples ? nick : yeah , i guess her mom dumped her at the commune and ian ward became some kind of father figure to her . i mean , she thinks the guy is a god . [ knock on door ] nick : you expecting someone ? sharon : no . maybe it 's noah . mariah : um ... hi . i was , uh , i was looking to talk to sharon , but i can tell this is a bad time , so i 'm really sorry to bother you guys . nick : wait . wait , wait , wait . is something wrong ? mariah : no . yes . yes , everything is wrong . and the truth is , i do n't really have anywhere else to go . sharon : well , why do n't you turn to ian , since the two of you are so close ? mariah : i 'm glad nick told you about ian . it 's a relief , actually , that you know about my past . sharon : who says it 's the past ? mariah : it 's not easy to walk away from someone who raised you since you were a kid , especially when you thought that they were the only person that you could count on . nick : you can always count on ian ward to do what 's best for him . mariah : it 's like i told you , nick , you just do n't know him the way that i do . sharon : well , i 'll ask my question again . why not take your troubles to ian ? mariah : nick gave me a job . he put himself on the line for me , and in return , he asked that i stay away from ian . nick : and that 's what you 're doing ? mariah : yes . besides , ian ca n't help me with this . he 's all about process and spiritual growth , and i just need to feel physically safe right now . sharon : why ? what happened ? mariah : someone broke into my room again . sharon : what ? again ? what did they take ? mariah : i do n't have anything to steal , but they were there when i got back home from work tonight . sharon : oh , my gosh . are you okay ? nick : she looks okay to me . tell me exactly what happened . billy : oh . oh ! [ winces ] chels ? chelsea : happy birthday ! billy : would you look at that ? a cake in the shape of an apple . chelsea : well , we do n't have much in our fridge , so it was either gon na be the apple or connor 's strained peas . billy : good choice , and i like the candle . chelsea : yeah , very fourth of july , right ? billy : just glad it was n't a cherry bomb . hey , thank you . and not just for this , but for jumping on a plane , going across the world with me to try and save my marriage . you know , not just anybody would put themselves out there like that . i owe you . chelsea : well , you brought adventure back into my life , so i guess we 're even . and you better blow it out before it burns down my house . billy : oh . chelsea : oh , wait ! make a wish . billy : right . you ca n't blow out a sparkler . chelsea : no ? no , but it was fun to see you try . billy : do i still get my wish ? chelsea : sure . and i 'm sure i know what you wished for . stitch : okay , this was n't exactly what i had in mind when i said i wanted to take you out to dinner . victoria : you know , restaurants these days are all about quinoa and branzini . stitch : what ? [ chuckles ] victoria : my appetite 's a little more basic right now . mmm ! it 's so good . mmm ! i think it needs something to go with it , though . was the pickled okra in your bag or mine ? stitch : seriously ? pickled okra and rocky road ? okay , you know what ? i 'm gon na have to call into the e.r . because this is a medical condition that 's gon na need immediate attention . victoria : yeah . it 's called being pregnant . [ chuckles ] stitch : what did i tell you ? it 's gross , right ? you ca n't even put it in your mouth . what is it ? is something wrong ? victoria : no , i think he moved . i think the baby moved . stitch : so soon ? i mean , i know from my ob / gyn rotation that early activity can happen in second subsequent pregnancies , but ... victoria : yeah , you 're probably right . stitch : hey , you know , maybe it 's your stomach saying , `` ixnay on the okra - ay . `` victoria : or maybe it 's saying , `` hey , world . here i come . `` mariah : so , i guess when he heard me coming , he just ran off . nick : i 'll call the police , see if i can get some details . mariah : no , i never called them . nick : why not ? mariah : i 've had my fill of the cops . and , besides , as soon as they see my rap sheet , they blow me off . sharon : you must have been scared to death . mariah : i 'm definitely too creeped out to stay there anymore , which is why i came by . to tell you to stop paying the bill . i 'm gon na go find somewhere else to live , and i will let you know as soon as i 'm settled . sharon : you can stay here . i mean , at least until you find another place . mariah : no , i -- i mean , that 's amazing of you to offer , but i could n't impose on you like that , and you 've done so much for me already . sharon : i would feel better knowing you were here . otherwise i would worry . mariah : still , i do n't think nick would be very happy about it , and i do n't want to cause any problems between you two . nick : i 'll get my keys . i 'll drive you over there and we can get the rest of your stuff . mariah : you actually mean that ? nick : i would n't say it if i did n't . mariah : wow , i do n't -- i do n't know how to thank you guys . sharon : then you accept ? mariah : yes ! yes , but you do n't need to drive me back . i just left a small bag with the motel manager . i 'm just gon na go get it from him , and then i 'll be right back . thank you . thank you , guys . sharon : wow . i 'm surprised you said yes so quickly . what is really going on ? victor : let me just say that i 'm very glad your son saved your life . paul : [ chuckles ] so he 's not so bad after all , huh ? victor : well , i had my reservations about him , but i must say he 's slowly gaining my respect . paul : well , coming from you , that means a lot . victor : i just hope that he will turn out to be the kind of son you may have wanted . as i know from bitter experience , that is a gift one is not always guaranteed , you know . paul : i feel like i 've been given a second chance . victor : good . paul : you know , to be the kind of father that i should have been to ricky . victor : oh . so , you intend to spend a lot of time with him ? paul : if he 'll let me . victor : i have a feeling that he is kind of ... hard to get to know , probably has a difficult time trusting people . paul : i 'll work really hard to overcome that , just like nikki did . and maybe with a little luck and a lot of effort , six months from now , we 'll be sitting down at a christmas dinner . with our son . are you okay with that ? i mean , the fact that nikki and i share a child ? victor : it 's a strange situation , to put it mildly , but to be frank with you , i think i 'm okay with that , you know ? if you had asked me who would i want to be dylan 's father , ian ward or you , who do you think i 'd choose ? anyway ... you get some rest . paul : listen , victor , if you do n't mind ... i 'd like to ask you a favor . nikki : you 'll be happy to hear that i just came from seeing paul and he 's recovering extremely well , thanks to you . dylan : that 's great , but you 're forgetting that i 'm the one who put him in the hospital in the first place . nikki : no , that is not true . you went to save avery , and here she is , alive and well . avery : yes , we 've all tried to convince him of that , but dylan still feels responsible for paul getting shot . nikki : i think that 's the soldier in him . but guess what ? you do n't have to worry about protecting others anymore . you have a family . it 's our job to protect you . dylan : yeah . family . i just -- i still ca n't believe that paul is my dad . i mean , has he said anything about me ? [ door opens ] dylan : how does he feel about all this ? avery : why do n't you ask him yourself ? victor : look who 's there . nikki : speak of the devil . nikki : i know you two have plenty to talk about , so i 'll let you get to that . paul : thanks . hey , and thanks for the lift . victor : you 're welcome . avery : i 'll be right outside . dylan : [ groans ] [ door closes ] dylan : so , how you feeling ? paul : [ chuckles ] pretty sore . dylan : yeah . me too . paul : the doctors told me that , um , they advised you not to go into surgery , that donating a part of your liver could be dangerous . dylan : yeah , well , i was never one to listen to doctors . and i did n't listen to you , either , when you warned me not to go after avery . if i had only done what you asked -- paul : if you did n't , i -- i never would have found out you 're my son . my son . it 's , um ... dylan : it sounds strange . paul : it does . i agree . good , but strange . [ both chuckle ] paul : i want to thank you for doing what you did , you know ? saving my life . keeping your old man around . dylan : that gives us some time to figure things out . paul : i 'd like that . nick : you want to know what this is ? i 'll tell you flat out . i 'm trying to get to know mariah , who she is , what she 's all about . having her stay with us is the best way to do that . sharon : and that 's all there is to this ? nick : what else could there be ? sharon : well , thank you for giving her a chance . nick : and that 's all it is -- a chance to prove whether or not we can trust her . but until we get those answers , i do not want her left here alone with faith . sharon : no , that 's fine . fair enough . but she 's gon na win you over . you 'll see . you know what ? mariah 's gon na be back soon , so we should n't start something we ca n't finish . rain check ? nick : i hope it rains soon . sharon : i 'll make up the guest room . avery : well , should we head to the cafeteria ? i think they might be in there awhile . christine : nikki , victor ? victor : that 's very kind , but i think nikki and i need to go , okay ? avery : okay . victor : thank you . nikki : you know , i wonder if katherine had any idea where the search for my son would lead us . victor : even she was n't that omniscient , okay ? but i must say , katherine affects our lives more than we realize still . [ cell phone rings ] victor : excuse me . i 'm sorry , sweetheart . i need to take this . nikki : that 's fine . victor : yes , son . nick : i thought you 'd like to know . i found the key to ian 's weak spot . victor : how 'd you do that ? nick : by giving mariah the key to the house . [ knock on door ] ian : you should ask who it is before opening the door . mariah : i do n't have to anymore . ian : sharon asked you to stay , huh ? mariah : how did you know that she would ? ian : oh . it 's what i do . read people . i can tell you what they 're gon na do even before they decide to do it . victoria : do you really have to leave ? stitch : yeah , i got to check on a patient . i 'd offer to stick around a little longer and help put away the rest of the groceries , but i think you and junior ate them all . victoria : yeah . we did . [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , thanks for last night . and for having faith in me . hey . take care of your mom , you hear ? and go easy on those cravings . [ door closes ] victoria : billy . uh ... hey . it 's me . um ... do n't worry about calling me back . uh , just forgot to tell you something when i saw you at jabot . happy birthday . billy : [ moans ] chelsea : there . that 'll help me go deeper . into the muscle . billy : [ moans ] that is above and beyond the call of duty . chelsea : consider it a ... birthday present . billy : oh , that 's good . that is very good . i feel better already . chelsea : good enough to ... billy : to what ? chelsea : do some things around the house ? you said you were handy . billy : i lied . chelsea : i know . billy : but you know what ? i do feel pretty good , though . chelsea : billy . billy : yeah . chelsea : this is a bad idea . a really ... really bad idea . billy : yeah , i know . it 's a -- it 's a terrible , terrible idea . chelsea : your back . this is gon na hurt . billy : it better . singer : and i would fall in love again with you any time 'cause no matter where i go , no matter what i do i see only you if i could paint a picture of you , all colors would n't do as i would try to paint the angel that is you you 're so easy to love you 're the one that i dream of you 're the sun in my sky you make me smile so easily you are perfect to me yeah , yeah you 're perfect to me when you fall asleep i can not help but look at you mesmerized [ next_on ] hilary : what is wrong with you ? ! what if i could n't swim ? ! lily : well , i was hoping that you could n't . billy : why did n't you ever mention to me or anyone else that stitch is your brother ? jack : well , i hope you 're here to tell me that you and summer have decided to get an annulment .
ian tells mariah that she should ask sharon if she can move in with her . later mariah goes to sharon 's house and tells her that someone broke into her motel room , and she does n't feel safe staying there anymore . victor calls nick and tells him that nikki was notified via court papers that ian is suing her , so nick and victor decide they must discover the connection between ian and mariah . nick tells sharon that mariah said that she grew up as one of ian 's followers because her mother left her in his care . sharon and nick decide that they will let mariah stay at their house . later nick tells victor that he allowed mariah to stay with them in order to discover ian 's week spot . stitch continues to lie to victoria that he has nothing more to hide from her . he did n't want to tell her that kelly was his sister , because she ruined her marriage to billy . he did n't want to risk ruining his own relationship with her because he had already fallen in love with her .
<s>[INST] nick : it was a heck of a show this year . i hope faith got to see some of it at peyton 's . sharon : she called and said they were going to watch it at turtle lake . nick : turtle lake ? that 's a big show . a lot of pyrotechnics . sharon : i loved watching fireworks when i was her age . i still do . i just wish it did n't happen only once a year . nick : mm - hmm . well , i can remedy that . what 's wrong ? sharon : are you sure you 're okay with not marrying me ? nick : yes . but i have another proposal . mariah : [ sighs ] oh , my -- ian : i 'm sorry . did i startle you ? mariah : startle ? no , no , no . you scared the hell out of me ! what are you doing here ? ian : you 're not safe in this place . victor : segundo and i took a long walk . he worked up quite an appetite . what 's this ? nikki : well ... ian made good on his threat to sue me . i was just served with the papers . victor : do n't you be concerned about this , okay ? no -- no court would take this seriously . i 'll see to it . nikki : maybe that 's his ultimate goal -- try to pick a fight with you and then he 'll get a bigger payoff in the end . avery : happy fourth of july ! the nurses were handing them out . now if we could just get them to allow hot dogs and apple pie in the icu -- dylan , what is it ? do you need a nurse ? dylan : something happened while i was going in and out of consciousness . something i 'm still trying to understand . victoria : i feel like there 's something else you 're keeping from me . this is what life was like with billy . just always wondering what he was n't saying . if you and i are going to be having a baby together , i have to be able to trust you . i wo n't go through this anymore . not for you or billy or anyone , for that matter . stitch : victoria , look at me . i love you . and you know everything about me . this is it . this is all . and if you love me , you 'll believe me . victoria : so , if billy keeps looking ... he wo n't find anything else ? stitch : i 've done nothing wrong . and i need you to take my word for it . chelsea : that buzzing is really starting to get on my nerves . i 'm glad connor is at my mom 's tonight . he would never be able to sleep through that . billy : i really think that that 's coming from up there . chelsea : i thought maybe it was earlier , but i was n't sure . billy : ah ! ah ! [ sighs ] nikki : i just hate that you have to get dragged into this . it 's my fault , apparently , for not realizing that ian was n't dylan 's father . victor : why is it your fault , my sweetheart ? ian ward did n't do a damn thing to dissuade anyone of that notion . he knew he could n't father a child . nikki : but why did n't i figure that out years ago ? then ian would have nothing to do with us . he would be out of our lives and paul could have watched his son grow up . victor : sweetheart . it 's a fait accompli now . okay ? this happened years ago . we ca n't turn back the clock . nikki : yeah , well , tell that to paul and dylan . they missed out on growing up , being in each other 's lives . victor : but they have the rest of their lives to get to know each other now . nikki : what if something had happened on the operating table ? what if one or both of them had died ? victor : sweetheart , they did n't , okay ? now , would you feel better if you went back to the hospital and visited both of them one more time ? nikki : how is it you always know what i need ? yes , i 'll go get my purse . victor : go . nikki : i 'll be right there . christine : oh , oh , hey , hey ! do n't even think about getting out of bed until the doctor gives you permission . paul : there 's something i need to do . christine : okay , well , the gcpd can survive without you a little bit longer . you need to rest and take your meds and go to rehab when the doctor says . in other words , i am pulling rank . paul : you know , the d.a . can not give the police chief orders . that 's just the way it is . christine : okay . maybe not , but a wife can outrank her husband any day . paul : i 'll follow orders if you grant my wish . christine : name it . paul : i want to see dylan . i want to see my son . dylan : i know i must have been dreaming , but ... it just seemed so real . avery : what did ? dylan : i saw sully . avery : yeah , you called out his name . were you back on the battlefield with him ? dylan : we were and we were n't . it was like i was -- it 's like i was in limbo . somewhere between there and here , if that makes any sense . avery : it does . dylan : i ca n't even describe how it felt . you know , seeing sully again . just for a few minutes , it seemed that -- it seemed as if -- avery : as if nothing had happened to him ? dylan : yeah , then i heard the explosion . and the guns were firing . i was -- i was right back there with him and the others , just ... it was just like before , only ... sully looked me dead in the eye . he knew what i was thinking . you know , that i could go with them . i mean , a part of me wanted to -- to die with the rest of them . i mean , why should i survive ? why should i get to come home ? avery : dylan . dylan : i could n't -- i could n't leave . i know there 's too much -- too much waiting here for me . you . you and nikki . and now paul , who i , uh , sort of know . avery : well , you have all the time in the world to fix that . dylan : i know . it 's weird . when i was going in and out , i just -- i got this feeling that he was -- that he was close by . was paul in here ? ian : you know , the maid let me in without even checking to see if it was my room . mariah : a maid ? at night ? ian : what if i had been a thief ? mariah : well , then , you would have walked away with nothing , because that is exactly what i have . ian : i 'm concerned about your physical safety . mariah : yeah , well , so am i , but it 's not like i can afford the security of the athletic club . sharon is paying my rent here , and i 'm having trouble paying her back the money i owe her as it is . ian : well , perhaps , then , you need to look at the situation from a different perspective . what is it i always preach ? the only bars in a prison of our own making are the ones we construct in our heads . mariah : yeah , i know , but how am i supposed to get out of prison with the tips that i 'm making ? ian : you do n't need money to escape . mariah : oh , really ? what am i supposed to use instead ? ian : a smile . and a little savvy . mariah : to what ? bribe a hotel manager to let me stay in some fancy room ? ian : why do that when you can ask sharon instead ? mariah : right . ian : no , seriously . and it would give you a safe haven , save you money , plus sharon would be able to spend more time with you , which is something she obviously wants . it 's a win - win for everyone . sharon : let 's go upstairs . nick : yes . let 's . [ cell phone rings ] nick : oh . sorry . dad , it 's not a good time . can i call you back ? victor : there 's something you need to know . ian ward has gone ahead and filed a lawsuit against your mother . nick : that son of a -- look , i do n't care what mom says , that guy needs to be taught a lesson . victor : you got to stand in line , son . but there 's a better way to get to him . nick : yeah . yeah , i know . we need to find out more about his connection to mariah . sharon : mariah ? what about her ? sharon : nick , who were you talking to ? nick : my dad . sharon : what does he want with mariah ? nick : you 're better off not knowing . sharon : have n't we both learned by now that we ca n't protect each other from the truth , and when we do , we just end up making things worse ? so please tell me why you and your father were discussing mariah , especially since she 's the reason you stopped talking to him . nick : this poor girl , the one you feel so sorry for , the one whose life you 're trying to turn around , she has a special friend . and his name is ian ward . mariah : sharon may be happy to have me move in , but nick would flip out . ian : he gave you a job , did n't he ? and has n't he been a little less hostile lately ? mariah : he fixed my doorknob . he said it was n't secure enough . ian : well , there you go . the man is concerned for your safety . mariah : i think he did it just to appease sharon . ian : was she there at the time ? mariah : no , it was just nick and me . ian : well , chances are , then , it was a genuine act of kindness . mariah : maybe . he did do something else nice for me recently . he brought back my purse when i left it at the house . ian : well , i 'd say that 's a lot of progress , certainly considering that he knows that you grew up as part of the community of my path - seekers . did n't you tell me that he 's kept all that information to himself ? mariah : yeah . he has n't said a word to sharon . i do n't think he wants her to know . ian : because he does n't want her to worry . and he does n't want her to doubt you . mariah : last time he was here , he invited me to dinner again . his little girl really likes me . ian : i rest my case . [ chuckles ] you know , i really wish i could take care of you myself , but i 'm not in the position to right now . but nick and sharon -- mariah : well , they 've already opened their hearts to me . why not their home ? stitch : it was wrong . i realize that . i should have told you kelly was my sister right from the start . victoria : yeah . you should have . stitch : but then she slept with billy , and , you know , you hated her and everything to do with her , and i did n't want to hurt my chances with you . victoria : you thought that i would blame you because your sister could n't keep her clothes on around my husband ? stitch : i did n't know you well enough to know how you 'd react . and the longer i kept my secret , the harder it became to level with you . victoria : so you were just acting like a coward . stitch : if you knew what it was like to wake up one day and hear that your entire unit had been slaughtered , if you did n't have your family to turn to , then maybe you could understand why i could n't risk the possibility of you walking away . this -- this was n't about lying to you . it 's about hope that i could start something new ... with this incredibly smart , sophisticated , feisty , beautiful woman that i had the good fortune to meet . please tell me you believe me . victoria : i do . i believe you . hey , just to be clear . do n't put me in this position ever again , okay ? because hearing about you and kelly from billy , it was hard . stitch : i am sorry that you had go to through that , okay ? victoria : okay . stitch : can i make it up to you ? take you out to dinner or something ? huh ? victoria : well , you 're gon na have to do a lot more than just that . stitch : you can count on it . i 'll call you later and set up a time . victoria : okay . chelsea : what happened ? billy : i think i pulled a muscle . chelsea : how ? all you did was reach your arm up . billy : i do n't know . it just hurts . chelsea : how old are you ? billy : i felt a twinge at the gym earlier . i think i overdid it . chelsea : overdid it ? did you do it at all ? billy : what ? i am like an adonis , like michelangelo 's david , like arnold -- ah ! chelsea : [ laughing ] oh , no ! okay , arnold , um , here . let 's take this off . careful . careful . uh - oh . okay , gentle . gentle . uh , okay , um , is this -- is this where it hurts ? billy : yeah . chelsea : right there ? how 's that ? yeah ? billy : yeah . chelsea : um , should we take you to the hospital or something ? billy : it 's no big deal . i 'll be fine . chelsea : then why are you sweating ? billy : i just need a few minutes to rest . i 'll be able to fix the buzzing from here . it wo n't be discovered . at least no damage was done . billy : oh , i feel like an old man . chelsea : you 're walking like one , too . billy : well , that 's some tlc . where 'd you learn your bedside manner ? the ratched school of nursing ? chelsea : shut up or i will drag you to a doctor . billy : yeah ? which one ? stitch ? chelsea : oh , god . there are other doctors in the world . billy : not according to victoria . oh ! chelsea : okay , let 's get you to the couch . oh . billy : some birthday this turned out to be . chelsea : so , did you have any plans ? billy : i was going to have dinner with jack and traci and abby . but i do n't feel much like celebrating , so i blew them off . chelsea : well , maybe i can change your mind about wanting to celebrate . christine : from what i understand , dylan is n't ready for visitors , but as soon as the doctor gives the word -- nikki : hey . paul : oh , hey ! victor : well , now . paul : hi , there . victor : someone looks a whole lot better than last time i saw him . christine : uh , yeah , he 's definitely improving , but he still needs to take it easy . paul : oh , heck , look , she 's a doctor now . nikki : well , now , i 'd say that 's good advice . victor : you better not get too comfortable here . the taxpayers want their money 's worth from their police chief , you know . paul : yeah , you -- coming from the biggest taxpayer . victor : you better not forget it . paul : i wo n't forget it . i mean , how can i forget it ? i 'm recovering in the victor newman wing of the hospital . victor : i 'll try not to make you laugh . christine : hey , nikki , what do you say we let these two continue their conversation in private ? victor : would you mind ? nikki : not at all , darling . i will be back to look in on you before i leave . christine : thank you . victor : there we go . [ door opens ] victor : so ... i 'm glad you 're better , old boy . i think we should talk about your son , dylan . paul : it is the strangest thing . one moment i 'm gunned down by a mixed up kid , and the next moment ... i find out i 'm the father to a grown son . nikki 's son . victor : yep . christine : i guess they have a lot to say to each other . nikki , i apologize for being so harsh these past few days . i did n't mean to come down on you like i did . nikki : oh , listen , it was the heat of the moment . i understand . you were terrified of losing paul . christine : why would n't you be ? he 's the father of your son . nikki : well , it 's my turn to apologize . for telling him about dylan . i promised you i would n't . christine : i know , but you told him to keep him from hurting himself . he was all worked up . who knows what would have happened ? nikki : that 's all i was really trying to do . christine : so , i guess the truth is out there now . that 's always a good thing , right ? nikki : right . paul : nikki and i were just kids . it was a moment in time . we did n't even know she was pregnant . victor : you do n't think she 's having a tough time with the idea that she may have deprived you of having a son . paul : oh , that was all ian ward 's doing . victor : huh . paul : by the time he was through with her , she could n't see straight . no , no . i do n't -- i do n't blame nikki for thinking that he 's the father . victor : well , i 'm very glad to know that you do n't hold that against her . paul : right . you know , i guess i just have to believe that things work out for a reason . that we were n't meant to raise dylan . victor : mm - hmm . paul : and we were so young , anyway . we probably would have screwed it up . we found him when we were supposed to find him . and it turns out to be a good thing , or you 'd be saying wonderful things about me at my funeral , and we would n't be talking . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa . who says i would say wonderful things about you ? [ both laugh ] victor : should n't take that for granted . paul : no . it is ironic , though , that the child i helped give life to ... did the same for me . avery : paul has n't been in to visit . he 's still recovering from surgery . what made you think he was here ? dylan : i 'm not sure . i just -- i just remember paul talking to me , willing me to live . nikki : i just thank god for keeping you here with us . avery : nikki , hi . nikki : now , i know you might be a little too old for me to scold you , young man , but do n't you ever scare us like that again . you hear me ? dylan : loud and clear . nikki : mm ! i just might permanently hold onto that hand , if that 's okay . dylan : i might have trouble driving to work in the morning , but i 'll see what i can do . nikki : oh , i love you . and so does your father . sharon : wow . so , mariah grew up as one of ian 's disciples ? nick : yeah , i guess her mom dumped her at the commune and ian ward became some kind of father figure to her . i mean , she thinks the guy is a god . [ knock on door ] nick : you expecting someone ? sharon : no . maybe it 's noah . mariah : um ... hi . i was , uh , i was looking to talk to sharon , but i can tell this is a bad time , so i 'm really sorry to bother you guys . nick : wait . wait , wait , wait . is something wrong ? mariah : no . yes . yes , everything is wrong . and the truth is , i do n't really have anywhere else to go . sharon : well , why do n't you turn to ian , since the two of you are so close ? mariah : i 'm glad nick told you about ian . it 's a relief , actually , that you know about my past . sharon : who says it 's the past ? mariah : it 's not easy to walk away from someone who raised you since you were a kid , especially when you thought that they were the only person that you could count on . nick : you can always count on ian ward to do what 's best for him . mariah : it 's like i told you , nick , you just do n't know him the way that i do . sharon : well , i 'll ask my question again . why not take your troubles to ian ? mariah : nick gave me a job . he put himself on the line for me , and in return , he asked that i stay away from ian . nick : and that 's what you 're doing ? mariah : yes . besides , ian ca n't help me with this . he 's all about process and spiritual growth , and i just need to feel physically safe right now . sharon : why ? what happened ? mariah : someone broke into my room again . sharon : what ? again ? what did they take ? mariah : i do n't have anything to steal , but they were there when i got back home from work tonight . sharon : oh , my gosh . are you okay ? nick : she looks okay to me . tell me exactly what happened . billy : oh . oh ! [ winces ] chels ? chelsea : happy birthday ! billy : would you look at that ? a cake in the shape of an apple . chelsea : well , we do n't have much in our fridge , so it was either gon na be the apple or connor 's strained peas . billy : good choice , and i like the candle . chelsea : yeah , very fourth of july , right ? billy : just glad it was n't a cherry bomb . hey , thank you . and not just for this , but for jumping on a plane , going across the world with me to try and save my marriage . you know , not just anybody would put themselves out there like that . i owe you . chelsea : well , you brought adventure back into my life , so i guess we 're even . and you better blow it out before it burns down my house . billy : oh . chelsea : oh , wait ! make a wish . billy : right . you ca n't blow out a sparkler . chelsea : no ? no , but it was fun to see you try . billy : do i still get my wish ? chelsea : sure . and i 'm sure i know what you wished for . stitch : okay , this was n't exactly what i had in mind when i said i wanted to take you out to dinner . victoria : you know , restaurants these days are all about quinoa and branzini . stitch : what ? [ chuckles ] victoria : my appetite 's a little more basic right now . mmm ! it 's so good . mmm ! i think it needs something to go with it , though . was the pickled okra in your bag or mine ? stitch : seriously ? pickled okra and rocky road ? okay , you know what ? i 'm gon na have to call into the e.r . because this is a medical condition that 's gon na need immediate attention . victoria : yeah . it 's called being pregnant . [ chuckles ] stitch : what did i tell you ? it 's gross , right ? you ca n't even put it in your mouth . what is it ? is something wrong ? victoria : no , i think he moved . i think the baby moved . stitch : so soon ? i mean , i know from my ob / gyn rotation that early activity can happen in second subsequent pregnancies , but ... victoria : yeah , you 're probably right . stitch : hey , you know , maybe it 's your stomach saying , `` ixnay on the okra - ay . `` victoria : or maybe it 's saying , `` hey , world . here i come . `` mariah : so , i guess when he heard me coming , he just ran off . nick : i 'll call the police , see if i can get some details . mariah : no , i never called them . nick : why not ? mariah : i 've had my fill of the cops . and , besides , as soon as they see my rap sheet , they blow me off . sharon : you must have been scared to death . mariah : i 'm definitely too creeped out to stay there anymore , which is why i came by . to tell you to stop paying the bill . i 'm gon na go find somewhere else to live , and i will let you know as soon as i 'm settled . sharon : you can stay here . i mean , at least until you find another place . mariah : no , i -- i mean , that 's amazing of you to offer , but i could n't impose on you like that , and you 've done so much for me already . sharon : i would feel better knowing you were here . otherwise i would worry . mariah : still , i do n't think nick would be very happy about it , and i do n't want to cause any problems between you two . nick : i 'll get my keys . i 'll drive you over there and we can get the rest of your stuff . mariah : you actually mean that ? nick : i would n't say it if i did n't . mariah : wow , i do n't -- i do n't know how to thank you guys . sharon : then you accept ? mariah : yes ! yes , but you do n't need to drive me back . i just left a small bag with the motel manager . i 'm just gon na go get it from him , and then i 'll be right back . thank you . thank you , guys . sharon : wow . i 'm surprised you said yes so quickly . what is really going on ? victor : let me just say that i 'm very glad your son saved your life . paul : [ chuckles ] so he 's not so bad after all , huh ? victor : well , i had my reservations about him , but i must say he 's slowly gaining my respect . paul : well , coming from you , that means a lot . victor : i just hope that he will turn out to be the kind of son you may have wanted . as i know from bitter experience , that is a gift one is not always guaranteed , you know . paul : i feel like i 've been given a second chance . victor : good . paul : you know , to be the kind of father that i should have been to ricky . victor : oh . so , you intend to spend a lot of time with him ? paul : if he 'll let me . victor : i have a feeling that he is kind of ... hard to get to know , probably has a difficult time trusting people . paul : i 'll work really hard to overcome that , just like nikki did . and maybe with a little luck and a lot of effort , six months from now , we 'll be sitting down at a christmas dinner . with our son . are you okay with that ? i mean , the fact that nikki and i share a child ? victor : it 's a strange situation , to put it mildly , but to be frank with you , i think i 'm okay with that , you know ? if you had asked me who would i want to be dylan 's father , ian ward or you , who do you think i 'd choose ? anyway ... you get some rest . paul : listen , victor , if you do n't mind ... i 'd like to ask you a favor . nikki : you 'll be happy to hear that i just came from seeing paul and he 's recovering extremely well , thanks to you . dylan : that 's great , but you 're forgetting that i 'm the one who put him in the hospital in the first place . nikki : no , that is not true . you went to save avery , and here she is , alive and well . avery : yes , we 've all tried to convince him of that , but dylan still feels responsible for paul getting shot . nikki : i think that 's the soldier in him . but guess what ? you do n't have to worry about protecting others anymore . you have a family . it 's our job to protect you . dylan : yeah . family . i just -- i still ca n't believe that paul is my dad . i mean , has he said anything about me ? [ door opens ] dylan : how does he feel about all this ? avery : why do n't you ask him yourself ? victor : look who 's there . nikki : speak of the devil . nikki : i know you two have plenty to talk about , so i 'll let you get to that . paul : thanks . hey , and thanks for the lift . victor : you 're welcome . avery : i 'll be right outside . dylan : [ groans ] [ door closes ] dylan : so , how you feeling ? paul : [ chuckles ] pretty sore . dylan : yeah . me too . paul : the doctors told me that , um , they advised you not to go into surgery , that donating a part of your liver could be dangerous . dylan : yeah , well , i was never one to listen to doctors . and i did n't listen to you , either , when you warned me not to go after avery . if i had only done what you asked -- paul : if you did n't , i -- i never would have found out you 're my son . my son . it 's , um ... dylan : it sounds strange . paul : it does . i agree . good , but strange . [ both chuckle ] paul : i want to thank you for doing what you did , you know ? saving my life . keeping your old man around . dylan : that gives us some time to figure things out . paul : i 'd like that . nick : you want to know what this is ? i 'll tell you flat out . i 'm trying to get to know mariah , who she is , what she 's all about . having her stay with us is the best way to do that . sharon : and that 's all there is to this ? nick : what else could there be ? sharon : well , thank you for giving her a chance . nick : and that 's all it is -- a chance to prove whether or not we can trust her . but until we get those answers , i do not want her left here alone with faith . sharon : no , that 's fine . fair enough . but she 's gon na win you over . you 'll see . you know what ? mariah 's gon na be back soon , so we should n't start something we ca n't finish . rain check ? nick : i hope it rains soon . sharon : i 'll make up the guest room . avery : well , should we head to the cafeteria ? i think they might be in there awhile . christine : nikki , victor ? victor : that 's very kind , but i think nikki and i need to go , okay ? avery : okay . victor : thank you . nikki : you know , i wonder if katherine had any idea where the search for my son would lead us . victor : even she was n't that omniscient , okay ? but i must say , katherine affects our lives more than we realize still . [ cell phone rings ] victor : excuse me . i 'm sorry , sweetheart . i need to take this . nikki : that 's fine . victor : yes , son . nick : i thought you 'd like to know . i found the key to ian 's weak spot . victor : how 'd you do that ? nick : by giving mariah the key to the house . [ knock on door ] ian : you should ask who it is before opening the door . mariah : i do n't have to anymore . ian : sharon asked you to stay , huh ? mariah : how did you know that she would ? ian : oh . it 's what i do . read people . i can tell you what they 're gon na do even before they decide to do it . victoria : do you really have to leave ? stitch : yeah , i got to check on a patient . i 'd offer to stick around a little longer and help put away the rest of the groceries , but i think you and junior ate them all . victoria : yeah . we did .

[ sniffles ] ... if for no other reason , just to let them know that my disease could be passed down . but i just was n't ready to do that . so i guess katherine did her own investigative work , and ... that number that she gave me was ... her parting gift . she said ... `` do with it what you want . `` paul : assuming , since you told me the whole story , that you want me to , uh , pursue this ? nikki : [ crying ] i - i do n't know ! paul : listen . you do n't know that , you know ? y - y - you might be able to -- to give them closure . they may be looking for you ! nikki : i do n't know what to do . just when i think my life has settled down ... katherine throws me this curve . chloe : wow . lily : devon , oh , my god ! cane : wow . wow . you 're speechless ! i do n't blame you . esther : he 's not the only one . cane : wow ! lily : oh , my gosh . jill : david . you said there were two final bequests . david : yes ! yes . the , uh -- the other is for you ! jill : what 's left ? david : katherine 's half of the house . jill : ah . david : she 's willed it to you . jill : mm - hmm . victor : so , you see , jill , katherine has n't forgotten you after all ! david : there is a stipulation , however . jill : oh , a stipulation ! david : the house must remain in your hands in perpetuity . jill : you mean i can never sell it . this estate is vast ! the upkeep alone will keep me in hock forever . esther : i 'll always be here to help you with it ! david : there 's more . `` in addition , i leave you something that signifies who i really am and what i 've finally come to realize is my most prized and valuable possession . `` congratulations . and that , ladies and gentlemen , is that . victor : all right ! well done ! lily : wow . thank you ! cane : thank you . david : yes . pleasure . chloe : okay ! bye ! thank you so much ! david : of course . pleasure . esther : would you like something to eat or drink ? i could sit and hold your hand ! jill : [ sighs ] no , esther . i just want to be left alone . but ... thank you .

[ cell phone rings ] mason : well , hello , beautiful . hilary : well ? mason : he did n't say much , but ... i think devon just hit the jackpot . lily : it 's like , you hear about these surprises at these will readings , but i did not think that katherine would do something like that . i mean , at least you came out of it unscathed ! cane : i do n't know . i think this is gon na lead to an all - out war , 'cause jill is jealous i retained the c.e.o . position at chancellor . she probably thinks that i manipulated katherine into shutting her out ! lily : well , why do you think katherine did it -- to teach jill a lesson ? cane : if that was a lesson , it 's a pretty extreme way to do it , do n't you think ? jill : i swear to god i will track you down in the afterlife , wherever you are , and i will make you eat that damn music box ! esther : no ! do n't do that ! jill : why not ? ! why not ? ! i 'm sure katherine wishes she never laid eyes on me ! i took her husband ! i had his baby ! she obviously never forgave me for it ! esther : yes , she did ! she loved you like a daughter ! in fact , for a while , she thought you were her daughter ! jill : yeah , i 'm sure she was very relieved when that did n't turn out to be true ! esther : katherine chancellor loved you . jill : [ scoffs ] esther : and you were better off for it ! jill : really ? i 'm better off ? better off ? ! esther : look . this could be an antique , a - a - a one - of - a - kind ! uh , have you ever thought -- jill : esther , i know `` made in china `` when i see it ! esther : okay . i do n't think mrs. chancellor would be cruel for cruelty 's sake . there is a message here . and once you calm down ... you 'll figure it out .

[ chuckles ] kevin : [ scoffs ] victor : sorry i 'm late . but thank you for waiting for me . jill : oh , that 's fine . but you said something on the phone about nikki not feeling up to this ? victor : i have a feeling this ... is all still far too painful for her . nikki : i 'm so sorry i could n't be there for the reading of your will . but i know you already gave me what you want me to have . i just need to decide what i want to do about it . paul : nikki ! nikki : oh , paul ! thank you for dropping everything and coming to see me ! paul : of course ! i 'd do anything to help you . nikki : well , then , listen to my story , and , please , do n't judge me . try not to hate me too much . jill : well ... we 're all here . why do n't we begin ? david : yes . of course . here we go . `` i ... katherine shepherd chancellor , being of sound mind and body , do declare this to be my last will and testament . `` david : `` to my beloved husband , patrick murphy ... who came into my life when i was lost and helped me find my way , i leave my collection of vintage automobiles , a quarter of my estate , the cabin on lake michigan , and that damn fishing pole i could never figure out how to use . `` [ laughter ] murphy : i 'll -- i 'll catch you a couple of whoppers , honey . david : [ chuckles ] `` to my faithful friend , esther valentine ... you are to receive a monthly stipend of $ 20,000 ... esther : [ gasps ] david : `` ... on the condition that you stay on at the mansion and continue to take such loving care of it . `` esther : i would n't have it any other way . thank you , mrs. c ! jill : [ chuckles ] david : `` as for my corporation , chancellor industries , i leave the management of it in the very capable hands of ... cane ashby . `` lily : [ sighs , laughs ] jill : could you check that again , please ? david : no , it 's -- it 's very clear . uh , `` mr. ashby will continue as sole c.e.o. `` lily : honey , i 'm so proud of you .

[ sniffles ] ... if for no other reason , just to let them know that my disease could be passed down . but i just was n't ready to do that . so i guess katherine did her own investigative work , and ... that number that she gave me was ... her parting gift . she said ... `` do with it what you want . `` paul : assuming , since you told me the whole story , that you want me to , uh , pursue this ? nikki : [ crying ] i - i do n't know ! paul : listen . you do n't know that , you know ? y - y - you might be able to -- to give them closure . they may be looking for you ! nikki : i do n't know what to do . just when i think my life has settled down ... katherine throws me this curve . chloe : wow . lily : devon , oh , my god ! cane : wow . wow . you 're speechless ! i do n't blame you . esther : he 's not the only one . cane : wow ! lily : oh , my gosh . jill : david . you said there were two final bequests . david : yes ! yes . the , uh -- the other is for you ! jill : what 's left ? david : katherine 's half of the house . jill : ah . david : she 's willed it to you . jill : mm - hmm . victor : so , you see , jill , katherine has n't forgotten you after all ! david : there is a stipulation , however . jill : oh , a stipulation ! david : the house must remain in your hands in perpetuity . jill : you mean i can never sell it . this estate is vast ! the upkeep alone will keep me in hock forever . esther : i 'll always be here to help you with it ! david : there 's more . `` in addition , i leave you something that signifies who i really am and what i 've finally come to realize is my most prized and valuable possession . `` congratulations . and that , ladies and gentlemen , is that . victor : all right ! well done ! lily : wow . thank you ! cane : thank you . david : yes . pleasure . chloe : okay ! bye ! thank you so much ! david : of course . pleasure . esther : would you like something to eat or drink ? i could sit and hold your hand ! jill : [ sighs ] no , esther . i just want to be left alone . but ... thank you .

lexie comes over to check on belle and advises philip on how to help belle get through her postpartum depression . shawn and mimi admit to each other that the kiss really did mean something and spend the evening dancing and kissing on the roof . belle hears the music and climbs up to the roof just in time to see them kissing . belle climbs back down unseen but her foot slips and she starts to fall . austin and lucas argue about austin 's decision to stand by sami . kate gets victor to give lucas an interview for the job at titan and to caution austin against getting involved with sami . victor offers austin the job first and lucas finds out after accepting the job that he was only asked because austin turned it down . abe visits john and advises him to be there when alex makes a mistake . after abe leaves , john becomes enraged at the sight of marlena dancing closely with alex and tries to go after alex but kate stops him .

[ sighs ] the only question is ... how do i do it ? [ scene_break ] [ siren wailing in distance ] philip : lexie ... is she all right ? what 's wrong with her ? lexie : i gave belle as complete an exam as i could give her here . philip : and ? lexie : and there does n't appear to be anything physically wrong with her .. although if she continues to feel this way , i 'd like to run some blood work to rule out a thyroid problem , which is fairly common in new mothers and could cause similar symptoms . philip : but if it is n't a thyroid problem , what do you think it is ? lexie : belle 's in a very precarious mental state . at the very least , she 's suffering from exhaustion . philip : then i 'll get her more rest . i 'll hire a full - time nurse . i 'll pick up the slack . lexie : that 's a good start , but , look , i 'm afraid it 's much more involved than that , philip . philip : what does that mean ? lexie : here . come sit down . philip : okay . lexie : okay . i 'm not a psychiatrist , but this probably did n't start with the baby . look at the year belle 's had . a rushed wedding , followed immediately by her new husband being shipped off to war and then taken prisoner . and when you did return ... philip , losing your leg did n't just happen to you . it happened to both of you . belle 's had to adjust almost as much as you have . philip : i know that . it 's just that , lexie , she has been so strong . i think i 've just leaned on her too much . lexie : no , no . look . this is n't your fault , philip , okay ? and this is n't belle 's fault . philip : [ sighs ] lexie : um ... this was an unplanned pregnancy , which is n't to say that belle did n't want to have the baby , okay ? i am sure she loves your daughter with all her heart . but it makes it that much harder for her to adjust to all these changes in her life . and with it being a difficult labor , belle knows very well that she or the baby or both of them might have died . it could be frightening to face your own mortality that way . philip : i know . lexie : and add to all of that , i mean , the fluctuating hormones , the sleep depravation . i mean , all the fears and anxieties that go along with being a new mother is too much . it 's just too much for anybody to deal with . philip : [ exhales deeply ] when you put it like that , no wonder she 's a wreck . so that 's why she ca n't stop crying ? lexie : my guess is that belle is developing a full - blown case of postpartum depression . [ scene_break ] belle : ohhh ! ohhh ! marlena : okay , okay . keep on breathing . keep on breathing . belle : [ crying ] philip : we 're a family now , and this family is gon na be together forever .. belle : it 's true . oh , i love you , philip ... and i love our baby . belle : no .

[ scene_break ] lexie : some degree of depression -- thank you -- is n't uncommon with new mothers . it 's called `` baby blues , `` and it usually corrects itself within a few days . philip : so , you 're saying we just let it run its course ? lexie : no . um , belle 's symptoms -- the uncontrollable crying , the exhaustion , the sudden mood swings -- she has something a little more serious -- true postpartum depression , which does n't go away on its own . philip : lexie , you do n't think that she would hurt herself or hurt the baby , do you ? lexie : okay . postpartum psychosis is something that happens within a very , very small percentage of women . philip : and that 's not what she has ? lexie : no , no . i do n't think so . i mean , it 's too soon to really tell . philip : what do i do ? how do i help her ? lexie : it 's very important for you to try to eliminate as much stress from her life as possible , and she needs to rest . and hiring a nurse to help with the baby was a terrific idea . philip : it 's a done deal . i 'll do it . lexie : she also needs to know that she 's not alone in this -- that she has your support . philip : okay . what about medication ? lexie : i want to wait and see . if her symptoms do n't improve or get worse , there are antidepressants i can prescribe . philip : but then she 'd have to stop breast - feeding . lexie : not necessarily . philip : good , 'cause that will probably depress her even more . lexie : philip , listen . we 'll cross that bridge if we get to it . philip : i just ca n't believe this is happening . mimi : philip , we are here for you . shawn d. : yeah , man , whatever you need , day or night . philip : thanks . lexie : the most important thing is that someone is always here with belle , okay ?

[ sobs ] claire really wanted to kill me ? why did n't you tell me after you heard her ringtone ? ben : i almost did . look , i saw how upset you were with even being a possibility that it could 've been claire . i did n't wan na upset you even more . and then eve -- she shows up and she attacks me and you chase after her . i never even had the chance to tell you . ciara : and then you went looking for claire , and you found rory . ben : i 'm assuming you talked to him ? ciara : yeah , he was really freaked out . he said that the necktie killer threatened to kill him . ben : [ sighs ] it was n't one of my most proud moments , but i did n't have a choice , ciara . i needed to find where claire went . by the time i got to the cabin , the place was already on fire . i was stupid enough to pick up the damn lighter , and that 's when eli walked in and he found me . ciara : and then he arrested you ... [ sighs ] ben : the thing i do n't get is why would claire go all the way to smith island and light this cabin on fire ? ciara : my god . i think i know . tripp and haley were in that cabin , ben . eve : claire , tripp and haley are just fine . haley 's on her way back to china . and thanks to ben 's fingerprints all over this lighter , he 's gon na go away for a very , very long time . so i think all in all , everything just worked out quite nicely for us . claire : but ben must be denying it . eve : well , the louder he yells , the more guilty he looks , and i do n't have any problem making a case against the man who murdered my daughter . no , he has motive , he has means , and thanks to my police officers , they caught him at the scene of the crime with this lighter . so now , all we have to do is come up with a motive , and he 's gone . claire : kay , well , ben and haley did n't really know each other . but tripp and ben -- yeah , they hate each other 's guts . jj : straight to voicemail . so much for finding out what 's going on with rory . jennifer : the paper 's calling me . i need to go . tripp : look , i 'm sorry i could n't get her out of there . jj : you did everything you could . kayla : hey , guys . jj : is she okay ? kayla : she 's going to be fine , and i know she 'd love to see you . jj : thanks . kayla : wait , wait , wait . you were in that cabin too and i wan na check you out . tripp : i 'm fine . kayla : yeah , spoken just like steve johnson 's son , so i wan na make sure of it . gabi : i hate it when people see me cry . i 'm a total badass except when i 'm in front of you guys . i 'm just mush ...

austin : there are two kinds of people in this world -- there 's the kinds that keep their head down , they do the right thing , and they get stepped on over and over . and then there 's the ones who do the stepping in their designer shoes and their entitled attitudes . this is an examination of the second group , the steppers . i 'm gon na show you how money , power , and a family name are all that matters to getting ahead in genoa city . ashley : so , kelly actually confessed to everything , even the poisoning ? jack : her lies eventually caught up with her . billy : can i say again that i 'm sorry for ever bringing her into our universe ? because i am . phyllis : uh , yeah . that one 's on you forever . chelsea : [ chuckles ] well , if kelly confessed , then it 's over . no more tricks , no more cons . phyllis : blondie is in a cell and down for the count . your party is safe . billy : maybe from her , but there is always an expectation when hosting an abbott event , and all hell breaking loose is one of them . austin : smug and self - satisfied , the abbott ego is only matched or surpassed by the other genoa city royal family . the world is owned by the newmans , and we 're all just here to serve . adam : so , i was curious what kind of time frame we 're looking at for these building repairs . yeah , uh , my guys are working overtime . the penthouses will be completed first . adam : really ? okay , well , you know , we ca n't afford any corners to be cut here . there 's a toddler living across the hall . his safety and health is what 's most important , so we 're really in no rush to move back into the building . you just take your sweet time . fair ? you 're -- you 're paying me to go slower ? adam : we can think of it as a bonus for a job well - done in a reasonable time frame . austin : half family , half corporate entity , they believe everyone can be bought . so they collect souls one payoff at a time . summer : oh , my god . austin : and i 've seen it up close at weddings , parties , dinners , just day - to- day contact . hell , my wife is a newman and for a while was an abbott , so i had a front - row seat . and now so will you . i 'm gon na pick up the rock and show you the worms and the insects squirming underneath . the abbotts and the newmans -- they do n't bother with the law . they do n't even bother with human decency . i think it 's time for the world to see the ugly truth .

[ chuckles ] victoria : well , that was for your sake . stitch : because we 're all concerned about what you 've been through , and not just the mugging . abby : come on , stitch . even you must have noticed vicki and ash 's not - quite- but - almost friends forever . victoria : well , you know , that 's stretching it just a little . with ashley thinking that newman 's revival of brash & sassy is about jabot and every time that i come to see either one of you , she practically has me frisked , that would be a big , fat no . abby : well , you still love me , and i work at jabot . victoria : and i 'll always love you . but your mother and i -- we have a lot of history . and , yes , it 's business , but it 's also extremely personal . and i do n't believe that ashley is some lab rat locked away in a lab . she 's very fierce businesswoman , and she learned from the best -- victor newman and jack abbott . abby : well , you are just as fierce as she is . victoria : thanks . that 's exactly why i know what i 'm talking about right now . you know , when the stakes are this high , you 'll do whatever it takes to protect a family business . abby : but ... [ chuckles ] assuming people will do whatever , i mean , that does n't actually mean that they will , right ? [ baby cries ] abby : oh . she must have heard you talking business . victoria : well , in this family , she 'll get used to it . abby : i 'm gon na go get my stuff . victoria : no , no , no . you sit down . look , relax . ben 's gon na make you some tea . stitch : so , tea ? abby : no . stitch : juice ? abby : will you back off already ? stitch : why are you getting so worked up about juice ? abby : look , it 's -- it 's not about the juice or the tea . it 's about the questioning and the harassment and the public humiliation . and ca n't i just go someplace and sleep until this is all over ? stitch : i am trying to help you . why is it so hard for you to see that ? kyle : mariah , how about just once you try not opening your mouth before you even know what 's going on ? you have no idea what we 're dealing with here . mariah : oh , i do n't ? you 're talking about austin frothing at the mouth at the evil empires , right ? i do know , because kevin sent me the file already . kevin : i did . i was proud of my decrypting . mariah : and summer , really , if you did n't know that 's who austin was already -- summer : what , meaning that you did ? ! mariah : i know that he did n't want to be your pet poodle wearing $ 300 ties . summer : you know what ? maybe you were egging him on this whole time . mariah : [ scoffs ] summer : maybe you were the one that was just whispering in his ear that it was time to stick it to the 1 % . maybe you talked him into making these damn videos . mariah : yeah , because the guy had no free will . i forced him to make the video , abby seduced him into bed , you made him get married . well , actually , the last part is kind of true . summer : you just hate me so much , mariah , do n't you ? mariah : no , summer . i do n't hate you . i do n't have time . i have a life . summer : [ chuckles ] mariah : but if austin was trying to expose a bunch of families for being bourgie cutthroats , i do n't see what the problem is . summer : no . you were just pissed that he did n't want you , no matter how much you thought you had in common with him . mariah : and you were just pissed that you did n't get the husband that you bought and paid for . kevin : all right . enough , okay ? we 're on the same team , remember ? kyle : this is exactly why i do n't like you watching this . summer : [ sighs ] kyle : the point was n't to tear apart what you thought you had with austin , but we need to watch this . we need to know what the hell we 're dealing with and who else might have known about it . kevin : every file could be a clue . whoever wanted austin dead , whoever 's been following us , they 're still out there . so we need to find them before somebody else takes it over the head . phyllis : that comment was a little more dramatic than i meant it to be . the point is you two get married when you want to . do n't worry about us . chelsea : i should n't have assumed that you two were rushing to the altar . i mean , nobody really should blindly rush ... to the altar or ... anywhere . [ chuckles ] ashley : so , what dates are you considering ? chelsea : uh ... none ? ashley : okay . chelsea : well , it 's just , you know , there 's been so much chaos with the apartment and so much going on . but , you know , we 'll get there . billy : you know , the , uh -- the flower arrangement in the dining room -- i was thinking that the colors for that might be -- chelsea : sure . okay . uh , excuse us for a minute . billy : yeah . chelsea : so , i know we did n't come to look at flowers . billy : do you feel the same way as phyllis ? that the wedding is never gon na happen ? chelsea : where did you get that from ? billy : from everything you just said . we 're supposed to be attending a party that 's a tribute to us , and i 'm wondering if you even want to get married . ashley : i 'm not exactly helping the cause of romance , am i ? i think i 've been single for too long . i 'm sorry if i put you on the spot . jack : no . we just have n't come up with a wedding date . phyllis : or an agreement to we d . so if you want to bust a move over that one , go for it . ashley : excuse me , phyllis . i was trying to be the voice of reason , not the voice of discouragement . phyllis : really ? ashley : yes . phyllis : you sure know how to turn the volume up . ashley : i see how happy jack is , and i want to keep him that way . and if you 're the means , than i 'm for it . jack : she is the means , and thank you , sis . ashley : i 'm going to go to another room . do n't worry about me . jack : okay . are we gon na do this now or are we gon na wait till after the party ? phyllis : there 's nothing to do . jack : after what happened in the underground , i thought we were back on track . was i mistaken ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i am happy that kelly confessed that you did n't actually throw her down on the flattest surface in the back room and have your way with her , so , yes , i think we 're back on track . jack : then you do love me . phyllis : yes . jack : and you do know that i did not betray you . phyllis : i know you did n't cheat on me . jack : but you still feel betrayed . phyllis : jack , this is n't party conversation . jack : listen to me . i am going to marry you . that 's not the issue . the issue is when . and i vote we do it a month from today . chelsea : of course i want to marry you . did saying `` yes `` and wearing this ring and planning this party not tip you off ? billy : and you also hem and haw a bit . look , i know exactly what it feels like not to want to get married . i mean , the way that i acted before chloe and i made that epic mistake -- i 'm -- i 'm giving you an out here . so if that 's what you want , take it . chelsea : i mean , i 'm making wedding plans , billy . i have a notebook full of dress ideas . i have debates in my head all the time whether i want a sit - down dinner or a kid - friendly lawn party with badminton and croquet and mason jars full of lemonade . billy : lemonade ? chelsea : or iced tea . it 's homey . anyway , that 's not the point . the point is i love you . i want you . i want this . so ... just stop being stupid , okay ? billy : i 'll try . chelsea : okay . now , we have to pick up my dress because i do n't want to be late for my own engagement party . i want to look fabulous for a very handsome abbott , and do n't try to be funny . i 'm talking about you . billy : me ? i would never be funny . come here . phyllis : i say no wedding but your answer is a month from now . that does n't sound like a healthy relationship . jack : you keep this up i 'm gon na cut it to three weeks . phyllis : you 're very sexy when you 're decisive . jack : god , i was hoping that would work . phyllis : i just told you i am not sure about our future . jack : i am sure enough for both of us . phyllis : it does n't work that way . jack : uh , no . wait , wait , wait . come here . come here . listen to me . i love you . i know i screwed things up badly in so many ways . i doubted you . i should never have done that . i was an idiot . but that 's in the past . after everything we 've just been through , we both know that wasting one precious moment of this life is a mistake . my goal , my mission is to make you feel loved and secure and safe and inspired and challenged every waking moment . we will fight . we will make up . you will charge out of here . i will woo you back . we will do our dance until the day we die . all you have to do is say `` yes . `` stitch : i am trying to help . i just -- i do n't know how to do it . abby : i do n't know , either . stitch : okay , so let 's figure this out instead of you taking off , trying to dodge questions you do n't want to answer . abby : maybe that 's why you wanted me here -- to ask me questions . stitch : is that really what you think ? abby : yes . no . look , i do n't know , okay ? stitch : okay , look , i am sure i have mentioned that talking to you usually gives me an acute pain right in the middle of my forehead . okay , so it 's not like i 'm looking forward to asking you questions . but if i can -- if i can look out for you , if i can help somehow , let me do it . abby : well , no one else is applying for the position . billy : none of your friends are backing you up ? abby : [ chuckles ] i was sleeping with a married man . i do n't have friends . i have people who accuse me and attack me and probably want me dead . stitch : over an affair ? abby : it was n't just an -- stop trying to trick me . stitch : abby , was that mugging not a mugging ? did someone target you ? abby : i did n't say that . stitch : does this have anything to do with austin 's death ? abby : you know how he died . stitch : you said he was killed . okay , but you did n't mean in a car accident , did you ? is someone after you ? are you in danger ? abby : no . just stop , okay ? stitch : abby , this is serious . is -- is someone after you ? are you afraid ? abby : i do n't know , okay ? yeah , maybe someone wants me dead . you know what ? maybe i 'll end up just like austin . stitch : hey , listen . how did he die , abby ? tell me . how did austin die ? abby : he was murdered , okay ? he was murdered . and those friends -- those friends that i do n't even have -- they think that either i did it or that i 'm gon na go tell . and it was n't a mugging . and austin was killed . and i thought that maybe we were gon na be together , and i do n't -- stitch : okay , okay , okay . okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . abby : you 're gon na tell on me , are n't you ? you 're gon na go tell the police , and then i 'll end up in prison . stitch : listen ... i am not about to let you get locked up for something you did n't do . and i know you could n't commit murder . sage : hi . i 'd like to speak to mr. tipton , please . adam : give me the phone . sage : mm - hmm . adam : give me the -- give me the phone . sage : this is regarding constance bingham 's estate . adam : give me the phone . sage : yes , i 'll hold . adam : okay . done with that , if that even was tipton 's office . it was probably your favorite nail salon . sage : why do n't you have me call back ? i 'll put you on speaker . adam : this was the deal , sage . hell , it was your idea . it was you and your buddy gabe 's idea , so stop pretending like you 're ready to walk away from this inheritance . sage : my deal was to be married to gabriel bingham for three years , not you . you 're obsessive , you 're angry , you 're bitter , you are stalking your widow , you 're spewing misery . meanwhile , there 's a guy who actually wants me . i 'm not gon na miss out on a chance to be with nick because of you . adam : go do your thing , sage . it 's not gon na work . sage : oh , because it 's gon na work with you and chelsea ? why do n't you tell me how on our way to her engagement party ? adam : she 's not married yet . sage : if you want chelsea , tell her who you are . she might forgive you . billy wo n't forgive her , but that 's okay because she 'll be free . we 'll all be free . chelsea : hey . adam : hey . sage : oh , hi . are you sick of the crowd at the abbott house ? you getting a room ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] oh , no . i 'm just , uh , picking up my dress at the boutique . sage : oh , for the engagement party . we really appreciate you inviting us . we 're so looking forward to it . chelsea : yeah , it 'll be fun . adam : yeah , nothing beats a little revelry , right ? chelsea : i think it 'll be mostly pretty low - key . adam : oh , well , then allow me , as the best man , to , uh , liven things up a bit . billy did n't tell you ? he asked me to stand up for him . sage : what ? adam : yeah . chelsea : oh , i - i did n't know that . adam : yeah , and , uh , took it as my neighborly duty to be the best damn best man ever . chelsea : huh . well , i guess that was just a - a nice gesture by billy , but , um , i do n't really understand . billy : do n't understand what ? sage : my husband is your best man . billy : yeah , it makes sense , right ? i mean , man who saved my life -- he 's the reason that chelsea and i still have a future . adam : it 's all my fault . would n't have it any other way . jack : i am not gon na let you walk out of my life again . phyllis : well , that could sound romantic ... or overbearing and domineering . jack : you did n't fall in love with me 'cause i 'm a pushover . phyllis : maybe i 'm not in love with you at all . jack : except you are . you understand that no matter how tough things get , i 'm never gon na let you go again . phyllis : do i know that ? jack : yes , you do . i think deep down inside , you 're very confident in my love for you . that 's why you can walk out of here and come back and tell me you wo n't marry me , because you know i will never give up on you . phyllis : swear it . jack : i do . phyllis : i do , too . now give it to me . jack : right here , right now ? phyllis : the ring . jack : the ring . let 's put this back where it belongs . phyllis : it 's official . jack : i 'm so glad . phyllis : but 30 days is n't gon na cut it . you were masterful , you were wonderful , but i am not tossing together some half - assed wedding . jack : so , you want the flowers and the seating chart and all the window dressing ? phyllis : the window dressing is the wedding . jack : no . no . two people standing before god , making a promise -- you and me . that 's a wedding . phyllis : quit trying to make me swoon over you . jack : is it working ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] yeah . jack : by april 's end , you will be my wife . kevin : okay . we can assume whoever went after abby is the same person responsible for what went down at the cabin . we need to find them before they may each of us a visit . mariah : well , since austin was making a video on the titans of this town , i vote for the mustache himself . kevin : victor ? summer : what ? my grandpa would never -- mariah : austin was gunning for newman enterprises and nailing abby . that 's a twofer , so , yeah , i 'd say victor would take him out . summer : okay , well , you do n't know my grandpa . mariah : he paid me to pose as a dead girl and torment sharon . i think i know him . kyle : victor plays dirty . it does n't mean he goes for murder . kevin : well , he is the same person responsible for letting billy rot in a foreign prison while delia was really sick . summer : okay , well , what about all the notes in lipstick ? you 're telling me that that was my grandpa , too ? mariah : maybe he hired somebody who has a thing for lip liner or someone went rogue . kyle : what about abby ? victor would n't stand for what happened to her . kevin : she 's still breathing , is n't she ? mariah : someone who does n't care would have shut her up for good . summer : okay , this is ridiculous . my grandpa would never have killed my husband . kevin : what about jack ? kyle : no . not a chance . whatever his faults , my father is not that guy . mariah : but someone is that guy , or girl , and we need to find out who fast , because i need to know who to duck and cover from . abby : and these messages -- they 're just there , like , out of nowhere , like someone 's waiting and watching , like no place is safe , like no place will ever be safe again . stitch : no one is gon na hurt you again . abby : you do n't know that . stitch : we wo n't let them . abby : who 's we ? the police ? yeah , like they 'd believe me . i 'm the jilted lover who helped cover up a murder . there 's no way to spin that . there 's -- there 's no way to survive this . stitch : hey . now , there is someone out there who has something to hide who clearly will do whatever it takes . abby : like kill me . stitch : that is why it is time to get the police involved . abby : no . no . `` shut up or you 're next . `` that was the message . my life is a mess , but i do n't want to end up dead . you have to swear to me you will not tell anyone . victoria : okay . baby 's asleep . crisis averted . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] it 's really amazing . as quickly as katie can rile up , that 's how quickly she 's peaceful again . it 's too bad it 's not like that for the rest of us , huh ? stitch : that 'd be a handy trick , would n't it ? victoria : [ chuckles ] abby : you know what ? i 'm late for a party . [ chuckles ] victoria : what party ? abby : it 's actually billy 's engagement party to chelsea . victoria : how nice for them . abby : is this -- this weird ? i mean , this is weird , is n't it ? victoria : no . well , i mean , yes , but , you know , um , it 's not a surprise or anything . stitch : you sure you 're up for an event ? victoria : ben 's right . you know , if you 're feeling the least bit sick , then -- abby : no , no . i ca n't not go . victoria : well , i do n't want you going alone . i mean , maybe -- maybe i - i can take you . abby : as my plus - one ? stitch : to billy 's engagement party ? abby : [ chuckles ] that 's not bizarre at all . victoria : i mean , if we can raise two kids together , i can toast to his happiness . [ chuckles ] abby : and i believe you , but -- but still . stitch : yeah , it 's a little weird . victoria : okay . all right . i just -- i still do n't want you going alone . stitch : i got it . how about -- how about i drive abby ? victoria : ah , there you go . perfect . stitch : yeah . victoria : do n't argue . [ cell phone vibrates ] victoria : oh . stitch : oh , more bean counting ? victoria : [ chuckles ] yeah . it 's so tedious . stitch : how about this -- how about you stay and deal with work and i 'll make sure abby gets a medical escort to the family function ? victoria : yes . thank you so much . that 's perfect . and you -- no alcohol . and call one of us if you feel the least bit off , okay ? abby : oh , i 'll feel off . i can pretty much guarantee it . you did n't tell victoria . stitch : yeah , well , that does n't mean i think you should n't . abby : everyone who knows is in danger . leave victoria out of this , at least until we know who 's after us . stitch : all right . well , let 's be clear about one thing then . do not try to find out who did this , not on your own , at least . you push too hard , you could end up with more than a bump on your head . kyle : all right . are we good here ? kevin : good ? no , not really . summer : wait , why ? do you have somewhere you need to be ? kyle : billy 's engagement party . but i 'm not just gon na leave you here like this . summer : no . go . i mean , it 's better not to draw attention . we need to at least try to act normal . mariah : normal ? us ? kevin : try . she said we should try . summer : [ sighs ] mariah : all right . go do recon -- drink champagne and ask if any of the abbotts have committed murder lately to protect the family business . kevin : yeah , you could do that . or just do the exact opposite . kyle : yeah . i 'm gon na take a crack at the `` normal `` thing . you want to walk me out ? summer : yeah . kyle : okay . thanks . kevin : finally . now i can get back to work . mariah : what ? more code cracking and computer cleverness ? kevin : austin recorded his every thought , so the more files i crack ... mariah : austin might have id 'd his killer . kevin : exactly . jack : `` my love to you , billy , and welcome to the family , chelsea . how brave of you to -- [ chuckles ] to join the loving , infuriating , unpredictable abbotts . you 're one of us now . always . love , traci . `` chelsea : aww . sage : someone 's in a rush to get loaded . adam : you playing the scolding wife now ? that 's fun . sage : scold you ? i was gon na get you a refill . maybe then you 'd pass out and stop embarrassing yourself or at least stop staring at the bride - to - be . billy : wait , wait . jack : no , no . no checking phones . billy : no , it 's from mom , and she and colin are gon na be late . ashley : uh - oh . maybe colin had to stop off and knock off a bank before he got here . jack : he might run into jeffrey there , who has the same idea . jeffrey is n't coming to this , is he ? chelsea : uh , no . billy : ah , the ebb and flow of family relationships . chelsea : mm - hmm . and my mom is out of town , so ... ashley : oh , well . i guess it 's just gon na be an intimate party , then . phyllis : well , it 'll lessen the disaster potential . billy : oh , there 's a toast if ever i heard one . refill your glass ? chelsea : uh , yes , please . ashley : billy . did you notice that phyllis is wearing her engagement ring again ? billy : yeah , and you 're actually smiling about it . ashley : yeah . i 'm happy for them . anything 's better than kelly , even phyllis . sage : should i pour you into bed now ? adam : pour me into bed ? no . i 'm not nicholas . [ chuckles ] sage : you wish . all right . can you just turn down the jerk level just a notch ? jack : enjoying ourselves , are we ? adam : oh , this -- this -- this is ... a marvelous party . it 's like mardi gras in here , jack . jack : if this is not your thing , everyone will understand . adam : mm . no , this is my thing . i 'm gon na make it my thing all the way over to the , uh , champagne cart . jack : this is not working . sage : gabe knows what he has to do , okay ? i made it clear . jack : you may have been able to handle the old gabe . this new version -- you have no idea . sage : [ sighs ] victoria : hi . it 's me . stitch : it 's me here , too . abby is safely at the abbotts ' and i 'm getting a java fix . want me to bring you anything home ? victoria : no . actually , that 's why i 'm calling . the kids are running to the office for a bit . stitch : is everything okay ? victoria : it 's just this new project that dad 's focusing on . stitch : i wo n't even ask . there will be no jabot / newman business drama for us . go be a mogul . i 'll be home waiting for you when you get done . victoria : yeah , we 're no business and all pleasure , are n't we ? stitch : ah , well , that 's the recipe for love and happiness . well , so i 've heard . [ chuckles ] i 'll see you soon . victoria : bye . stitch : kevin . what are you all messing with ? kevin : huh ? stitch : abby told me everything -- the cabin , austin , the messages . kevin : abby told you what when ? when she was medicated out of her mind after getting mugged ? stitch : she was very coherent , and she told me everything . mariah : so , kyle was your boyfriend then he was your brother then he left and now he 's back and apparently your white knight . it 's adorable ... or nauseating . i ca n't decide which . summer : what is it , mariah ? are you jealous again ? mariah : again ? summer : you threw yourself at austin , then you found out that he wanted abby more than he wanted you . so , yes , again . mariah : and evidently more than he wanted you , but we 're talking about kyle and the special place he has in your glittery pink heart . no wonder austin put up with it . summer : what is that supposed to mean ? mariah : i mean he obviously had more passion and devotion to this documentary than he ever had for you . so it seems like he only married you to stay out of jail . and then he only stayed with you to get dirt on your family . ouch . ashley : are you sure you 're okay ? you do n't have a headache ? abby : no , i 'm all better and ready to celebrate . responsibly . ashley : i 'm gon na get you a glass of water . abby : water . yeah . that 's exactly what i meant . kyle : hey . did you get my text ? abby : yes . that 's why i 'm so happy and upbeat . according to those videos , austin hated both of my families . which says a lot about how he felt about me . kyle : we do n't know how he felt about you . abby : i think we do . [ scoffs ] i 'm an idiot and a target at an engagement party . [ clicks tongue ] awesome . ashley : here . [ clinks glass ] jack : i 'd like to propose a toast to the happy couple . billy : hey , hey . nice things about me , or else . ashley : oh , good . it 'll be short . [ laughter ] jack : it will be brief , but only because the message is simple . love and marriage are always and eternally a statement of hope , a promise to see the best in each other , to forgive past hurts , to embrace future joys . billy and chelsea are building a life together . they share work , they share a home , they share their children , and they deserve our respect and admiration and our promise to help them protect the love that binds their new family together . to chelsea and billy . all : cheers ! chelsea : thank you , jack . you 're gon na -- you 're gon na make me weepy . [ chuckles ] billy : oh , no . it 's just a little dusty in here . that 's all . adam : you know what ? i 'd -- it sort of feels like , jack , you 're -- excuse me -- like you 're -- you 're , uh , upstaging the best man . that 's me . and , uh , just wanted to maybe take the floor here for a second . i would like to toast the , uh -- the very happy couple - to - be . there 's , uh , something you need to hear . [ next_on ] summer : you 're life is so lonely , and you will never know the kind of love that austin and i had . abby : hello ? kelly : are you double - crossing me ?
the group from the cabin is shocked as they watch videos of austin 's documentary which is an expose on the abbotts and the newmans . summer and abby both feel hurt and used by austin and they question if he really loved them at all . billy and jack both feel that chelsea and phyllis do n't want to marry them , but both women assure them that they do ; they just need time to plan the wedding properly . sage advises adam to tell chelsea the truth , so he can be with the woman he loves , and she can try and have a relationship with nick . abby tells stitch everything that happened the night austin was murdered , and he promises not to tell victoria and help her find the person who killed austin . adam gets drunk at billy and chelsea 's engagement party and decides to make a toast , because there is something chelsea needs to know before she gets married .
<s>[INST] austin : there are two kinds of people in this world -- there 's the kinds that keep their head down , they do the right thing , and they get stepped on over and over . and then there 's the ones who do the stepping in their designer shoes and their entitled attitudes . this is an examination of the second group , the steppers . i 'm gon na show you how money , power , and a family name are all that matters to getting ahead in genoa city . ashley : so , kelly actually confessed to everything , even the poisoning ? jack : her lies eventually caught up with her . billy : can i say again that i 'm sorry for ever bringing her into our universe ? because i am . phyllis : uh , yeah . that one 's on you forever . chelsea : [ chuckles ] well , if kelly confessed , then it 's over . no more tricks , no more cons . phyllis : blondie is in a cell and down for the count . your party is safe . billy : maybe from her , but there is always an expectation when hosting an abbott event , and all hell breaking loose is one of them . austin : smug and self - satisfied , the abbott ego is only matched or surpassed by the other genoa city royal family . the world is owned by the newmans , and we 're all just here to serve . adam : so , i was curious what kind of time frame we 're looking at for these building repairs . yeah , uh , my guys are working overtime . the penthouses will be completed first . adam : really ? okay , well , you know , we ca n't afford any corners to be cut here . there 's a toddler living across the hall . his safety and health is what 's most important , so we 're really in no rush to move back into the building . you just take your sweet time . fair ? you 're -- you 're paying me to go slower ? adam : we can think of it as a bonus for a job well - done in a reasonable time frame . austin : half family , half corporate entity , they believe everyone can be bought . so they collect souls one payoff at a time . summer : oh , my god . austin : and i 've seen it up close at weddings , parties , dinners , just day - to- day contact . hell , my wife is a newman and for a while was an abbott , so i had a front - row seat . and now so will you . i 'm gon na pick up the rock and show you the worms and the insects squirming underneath . the abbotts and the newmans -- they do n't bother with the law . they do n't even bother with human decency . i think it 's time for the world to see the ugly truth . [ clicks ] summer : [ crying ] so this is what my husband was working on when he was n't with me ? i mean , how could he do this and then come home to me ? i do n't understand . kyle : because he did n't want you or anyone else to know . but it 's not like you missed the signs . how could you know ? summer : my husband was having an affair and he was making a documentary about my family . i 'm -- i 'm pretty sure i missed a sign or two . how did you even find this video ? kevin : i snooped . it 's what i do . sorry . noah found that one video , so i decided to check austin 's laptop to see if there was anything else . and he encrypted all of his files , so i was up all night with this . kyle : was there more ? kevin : oh , yeah . it sounds like he had a lot of hate to go around . victoria : [ hoarsely ] you know , you 're a doctor all the way down to your shoelaces . stitch : [ chuckles ] yeah . a doctor with no license . and speaking of which , we need to get you some more throat lozenges . victoria : [ chuckles ] stitch : and drink some tea or something . victoria : i mean it . the fact that you invited abby here to recuperate -- that 's thinking like a healer , and it 's very hot , by the way . stitch : oh , yeah ? victoria : yeah . stitch : you have anyone else you want to move in ? 'cause hot works for me . victoria : [ chuckles ] you know , abby was mugged in the park where i take the kids . it 's really scary . she 's obviously still upset . stitch : yeah . [ cell phone vibrates ] victoria : oh . stitch : is that work ? victoria : oh . oh , it 's accounting . i 'll be right back . stitch : okay . [ chuckling ] hey . well , look who 's alive . how you feeling ? abby : um , just a little foggy . stitch : yeah ? you have any , uh , ringing in your ears ? any vision problems ? abby : no , just blah . stitch : yeah , that 's the meds from the e.r . you were pretty out of it . abby : [ chuckles ] like my hard - partying younger days . stitch : you know , there -- there was one thing you did say in a moment of lucidity that i 'd like to ask you about . abby : okay . shoot . stitch : what did you mean when you said austin was killed ? abby : what ? [ chuckles ] stitch : yeah , you said austin was killed . what about austin 's death are you not telling us ? abby : austin was killed in a car accident . i mean , just like someone would be killed by a - a heart attack or a broken heart or a hundred other ways . stitch : it did n't sound that way . it sounded like you did n't think austin 's death was an accident at all . victoria : oh , abby . you 're up . um , are you hungry ? i can get you something . abby : no , no . i - i 'm fine . and you do n't have to be so nice to me . stitch did n't move in here expecting a random sister in the house . victoria : actually , it was ben 's idea to have you stay here . so now you get sisterly worry and medical supervision . abby : which i do n't need because i 'm fine . victoria : that is such a lie . after what you 've been through , you 're not fine . do n't worry . there 's no muggers in the bushes here . you 're gon na be perfectly safe . kyle : i , uh -- i have n't cracked all of austin 's files yet , but i 'm getting there . this guy was prolific . he spent a lot of time on this pet project of his . summer : yeah , ripping into my family . and yours . kyle : well , i 'm not worried about our families . just you . watching this , listening to this -- the ... voice from beyond -- it 's gon na mess with your head . it 's not good for you , summer . summer : this is what it was like when i first met him . the way that he blamed my aunt avery for the way that his mom died -- he just had so much hate in his voice . and then it was gone and he said it was because of me , but ... i guess it really was n't . mariah : that 's right , snowflake . you married a son of a bitch , and your magic lovin ' did n't turn him into an angel . how will your ego survive ? chelsea : that 's just great . make jokes about the engagement party . that 's not gon na jinx us or anything . phyllis : oh , we do n't need any luck . we have mature adult behavior . billy : [ chuckles ] you 're serious . sorry . [ laughter ] jack : things have been relatively calm . phyllis : yeah . even with all the couples under one roof . jack : makes you wonder how long our luck will hold out . ashley : well , who needs luck when everybody 's being so ... charming and fabulous and pleasant ? phyllis : and generous . chelsea offered to design an outfit for me -- custom couture . chelsea : it 's a thank you for letting us stay here until the penthouse is repaired . and maybe a tiny bit of sucking up to the boss . [ laughter ] phyllis : oh , i like that . i like that . but now , the other house guests -- there 's a story there . billy : yeah , you guys get a weird vibe off of them ? ashley : sounds like you do . jack : the abbotts are in no position to judge weird . billy : yeah , i resemble that remark . ashley : look at you two . abbott brothers comedy team . how about for an encore you plan a double wedding ? phyllis : or not . chelsea : phyllis is right . she and jack deserve their own special day . and do n't worry . we wo n't try to steal your thunder . billy and i are happy to postpone our wedding until you two say `` i do . `` billy : we are ? chelsea : yeah , of course , we are . [ chuckles ] jack : thanks , chelsea . that 's very sweet of you . phyllis : what i meant before is i 'm back in the house , but a wedding is n't necessarily in the works . sage : hello . is this , uh , good news about the apartment ? we 're gon na be moving in soon ? adam : well , you know how it goes . you open up a wall and find a whole nother problem to fix . but , uh , it 'll get done , you know , in due time , right ? yeah . sorry for the delay . adam : mm . thanks for all your hard work . all right . adam : looks like we 'll be shacking up at casa abbott for a little bit longer , huh ? sage : or not . surprise . adam : what is that ? sage : a suite worthy of gabriel bingham just opened up here , and we are moving in , my friend . that way you do n't have to stare at chelsea and billy , you know , cooing at each other at the breakfast table . adam : well , that is adorable . you 're such a sweetheart . but you can cancel the reservation . sage : well , that 's funny . that almost sounded like an order , which you would never give me , would you ? adam : fine . i 'll cancel it . sage : ha , ha . think again . adam : is that another one of your tired threats ? because i got to be honest with you -- i 'm losing interest . sage : why do n't we try something new , huh ? we can just , you know , end this joke of a marriage , say `` goodbye millions , hello , freedom . `` stitch : look , abby . if you 're afraid of someone or something out there -- abby : i only fear real danger , like family drama , and , surprise , vicki , you and mom did n't flip out on each other at the hospital , which was better than a stuffed bear and get - well balloons . [ chuckles ] victoria : well , that was for your sake . stitch : because we 're all concerned about what you 've been through , and not just the mugging . abby : come on , stitch . even you must have noticed vicki and ash 's not - quite- but - almost friends forever . victoria : well , you know , that 's stretching it just a little . with ashley thinking that newman 's revival of brash & sassy is about jabot and every time that i come to see either one of you , she practically has me frisked , that would be a big , fat no . abby : well , you still love me , and i work at jabot . victoria : and i 'll always love you . but your mother and i -- we have a lot of history . and , yes , it 's business , but it 's also extremely personal . and i do n't believe that ashley is some lab rat locked away in a lab . she 's very fierce businesswoman , and she learned from the best -- victor newman and jack abbott . abby : well , you are just as fierce as she is . victoria : thanks . that 's exactly why i know what i 'm talking about right now . you know , when the stakes are this high , you 'll do whatever it takes to protect a family business . abby : but ... [ chuckles ] assuming people will do whatever , i mean , that does n't actually mean that they will , right ? [ baby cries ] abby : oh . she must have heard you talking business . victoria : well , in this family , she 'll get used to it . abby : i 'm gon na go get my stuff . victoria : no , no , no . you sit down . look , relax . ben 's gon na make you some tea . stitch : so , tea ? abby : no . stitch : juice ? abby : will you back off already ? stitch : why are you getting so worked up about juice ? abby : look , it 's -- it 's not about the juice or the tea . it 's about the questioning and the harassment and the public humiliation . and ca n't i just go someplace and sleep until this is all over ? stitch : i am trying to help you . why is it so hard for you to see that ? kyle : mariah , how about just once you try not opening your mouth before you even know what 's going on ? you have no idea what we 're dealing with here . mariah : oh , i do n't ? you 're talking about austin frothing at the mouth at the evil empires , right ? i do know , because kevin sent me the file already . kevin : i did . i was proud of my decrypting . mariah : and summer , really , if you did n't know that 's who austin was already -- summer : what , meaning that you did ? ! mariah : i know that he did n't want to be your pet poodle wearing $ 300 ties . summer : you know what ? maybe you were egging him on this whole time . mariah : [ scoffs ] summer : maybe you were the one that was just whispering in his ear that it was time to stick it to the 1 % . maybe you talked him into making these damn videos . mariah : yeah , because the guy had no free will . i forced him to make the video , abby seduced him into bed , you made him get married . well , actually , the last part is kind of true . summer : you just hate me so much , mariah , do n't you ? mariah : no , summer . i do n't hate you . i do n't have time . i have a life . summer : [ chuckles ] mariah : but if austin was trying to expose a bunch of families for being bourgie cutthroats , i do n't see what the problem is . summer : no . you were just pissed that he did n't want you , no matter how much you thought you had in common with him . mariah : and you were just pissed that you did n't get the husband that you bought and paid for . kevin : all right . enough , okay ? we 're on the same team , remember ? kyle : this is exactly why i do n't like you watching this . summer : [ sighs ] kyle : the point was n't to tear apart what you thought you had with austin , but we need to watch this . we need to know what the hell we 're dealing with and who else might have known about it . kevin : every file could be a clue . whoever wanted austin dead , whoever 's been following us , they 're still out there . so we need to find them before somebody else takes it over the head . phyllis : that comment was a little more dramatic than i meant it to be . the point is you two get married when you want to . do n't worry about us . chelsea : i should n't have assumed that you two were rushing to the altar . i mean , nobody really should blindly rush ... to the altar or ... anywhere . [ chuckles ] ashley : so , what dates are you considering ? chelsea : uh ... none ? ashley : okay . chelsea : well , it 's just , you know , there 's been so much chaos with the apartment and so much going on . but , you know , we 'll get there . billy : you know , the , uh -- the flower arrangement in the dining room -- i was thinking that the colors for that might be -- chelsea : sure . okay . uh , excuse us for a minute . billy : yeah . chelsea : so , i know we did n't come to look at flowers . billy : do you feel the same way as phyllis ? that the wedding is never gon na happen ? chelsea : where did you get that from ? billy : from everything you just said . we 're supposed to be attending a party that 's a tribute to us , and i 'm wondering if you even want to get married . ashley : i 'm not exactly helping the cause of romance , am i ? i think i 've been single for too long . i 'm sorry if i put you on the spot . jack : no . we just have n't come up with a wedding date . phyllis : or an agreement to we d . so if you want to bust a move over that one , go for it . ashley : excuse me , phyllis . i was trying to be the voice of reason , not the voice of discouragement . phyllis : really ? ashley : yes . phyllis : you sure know how to turn the volume up . ashley : i see how happy jack is , and i want to keep him that way . and if you 're the means , than i 'm for it . jack : she is the means , and thank you , sis . ashley : i 'm going to go to another room . do n't worry about me . jack : okay . are we gon na do this now or are we gon na wait till after the party ? phyllis : there 's nothing to do . jack : after what happened in the underground , i thought we were back on track . was i mistaken ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i am happy that kelly confessed that you did n't actually throw her down on the flattest surface in the back room and have your way with her , so , yes , i think we 're back on track . jack : then you do love me . phyllis : yes . jack : and you do know that i did not betray you . phyllis : i know you did n't cheat on me . jack : but you still feel betrayed . phyllis : jack , this is n't party conversation . jack : listen to me . i am going to marry you . that 's not the issue . the issue is when . and i vote we do it a month from today . chelsea : of course i want to marry you . did saying `` yes `` and wearing this ring and planning this party not tip you off ? billy : and you also hem and haw a bit . look , i know exactly what it feels like not to want to get married . i mean , the way that i acted before chloe and i made that epic mistake -- i 'm -- i 'm giving you an out here . so if that 's what you want , take it . chelsea : i mean , i 'm making wedding plans , billy . i have a notebook full of dress ideas . i have debates in my head all the time whether i want a sit - down dinner or a kid - friendly lawn party with badminton and croquet and mason jars full of lemonade . billy : lemonade ? chelsea : or iced tea . it 's homey . anyway , that 's not the point . the point is i love you . i want you . i want this . so ... just stop being stupid , okay ? billy : i 'll try . chelsea : okay . now , we have to pick up my dress because i do n't want to be late for my own engagement party . i want to look fabulous for a very handsome abbott , and do n't try to be funny . i 'm talking about you . billy : me ? i would never be funny . come here . phyllis : i say no wedding but your answer is a month from now . that does n't sound like a healthy relationship . jack : you keep this up i 'm gon na cut it to three weeks . phyllis : you 're very sexy when you 're decisive . jack : god , i was hoping that would work . phyllis : i just told you i am not sure about our future . jack : i am sure enough for both of us . phyllis : it does n't work that way . jack : uh , no . wait , wait , wait . come here . come here . listen to me . i love you . i know i screwed things up badly in so many ways . i doubted you . i should never have done that . i was an idiot . but that 's in the past . after everything we 've just been through , we both know that wasting one precious moment of this life is a mistake . my goal , my mission is to make you feel loved and secure and safe and inspired and challenged every waking moment . we will fight . we will make up . you will charge out of here . i will woo you back . we will do our dance until the day we die . all you have to do is say `` yes . `` stitch : i am trying to help . i just -- i do n't know how to do it . abby : i do n't know , either . stitch : okay , so let 's figure this out instead of you taking off , trying to dodge questions you do n't want to answer . abby : maybe that 's why you wanted me here -- to ask me questions . stitch : is that really what you think ? abby : yes . no . look , i do n't know , okay ? stitch : okay , look , i am sure i have mentioned that talking to you usually gives me an acute pain right in the middle of my forehead . okay , so it 's not like i 'm looking forward to asking you questions . but if i can -- if i can look out for you , if i can help somehow , let me do it . abby : well , no one else is applying for the position . billy : none of your friends are backing you up ? abby : [ chuckles ] i was sleeping with a married man . i do n't have friends . i have people who accuse me and attack me and probably want me dead . stitch : over an affair ? abby : it was n't just an -- stop trying to trick me . stitch : abby , was that mugging not a mugging ? did someone target you ? abby : i did n't say that . stitch : does this have anything to do with austin 's death ? abby : you know how he died . stitch : you said he was killed . okay , but you did n't mean in a car accident , did you ? is someone after you ? are you in danger ? abby : no . just stop , okay ? stitch : abby , this is serious . is -- is someone after you ? are you afraid ? abby : i do n't know , okay ? yeah , maybe someone wants me dead . you know what ? maybe i 'll end up just like austin . stitch : hey , listen . how did he die , abby ? tell me . how did austin die ? abby : he was murdered , okay ? he was murdered . and those friends -- those friends that i do n't even have -- they think that either i did it or that i 'm gon na go tell . and it was n't a mugging . and austin was killed . and i thought that maybe we were gon na be together , and i do n't -- stitch : okay , okay , okay . okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . abby : you 're gon na tell on me , are n't you ? you 're gon na go tell the police , and then i 'll end up in prison . stitch : listen ... i am not about to let you get locked up for something you did n't do . and i know you could n't commit murder . sage : hi . i 'd like to speak to mr. tipton , please . adam : give me the phone . sage : mm - hmm . adam : give me the -- give me the phone . sage : this is regarding constance bingham 's estate . adam : give me the phone . sage : yes , i 'll hold . adam : okay . done with that , if that even was tipton 's office . it was probably your favorite nail salon . sage : why do n't you have me call back ? i 'll put you on speaker . adam : this was the deal , sage . hell , it was your idea . it was you and your buddy gabe 's idea , so stop pretending like you 're ready to walk away from this inheritance . sage : my deal was to be married to gabriel bingham for three years , not you . you 're obsessive , you 're angry , you 're bitter , you are stalking your widow , you 're spewing misery . meanwhile , there 's a guy who actually wants me . i 'm not gon na miss out on a chance to be with nick because of you . adam : go do your thing , sage . it 's not gon na work . sage : oh , because it 's gon na work with you and chelsea ? why do n't you tell me how on our way to her engagement party ? adam : she 's not married yet . sage : if you want chelsea , tell her who you are . she might forgive you . billy wo n't forgive her , but that 's okay because she 'll be free . we 'll all be free . chelsea : hey . adam : hey . sage : oh , hi . are you sick of the crowd at the abbott house ? you getting a room ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] oh , no . i 'm just , uh , picking up my dress at the boutique . sage : oh , for the engagement party . we really appreciate you inviting us . we 're so looking forward to it . chelsea : yeah , it 'll be fun . adam : yeah , nothing beats a little revelry , right ? chelsea : i think it 'll be mostly pretty low - key . adam : oh , well , then allow me , as the best man , to , uh , liven things up a bit . billy did n't tell you ? he asked me to stand up for him . sage : what ? adam : yeah . chelsea : oh , i - i did n't know that . adam : yeah , and , uh , took it as my neighborly duty to be the best damn best man ever . chelsea : huh . well , i guess that was just a - a nice gesture by billy , but , um , i do n't really understand . billy : do n't understand what ? sage : my husband is your best man . billy : yeah , it makes sense , right ? i mean , man who saved my life -- he 's the reason that chelsea and i still have a future . adam : it 's all my fault . would n't have it any other way . jack : i am not gon na let you walk out of my life again . phyllis : well , that could sound romantic ... or overbearing and domineering . jack : you did n't fall in love with me 'cause i 'm a pushover . phyllis : maybe i 'm not in love with you at all . jack : except you are . you understand that no matter how tough things get , i 'm never gon na let you go again . phyllis : do i know that ? jack : yes , you do . i think deep down inside , you 're very confident in my love for you . that 's why you can walk out of here and come back and tell me you wo n't marry me , because you know i will never give up on you . phyllis : swear it . jack : i do . phyllis : i do , too . now give it to me . jack : right here , right now ? phyllis : the ring . jack : the ring . let 's put this back where it belongs . phyllis : it 's official . jack : i 'm so glad . phyllis : but 30 days is n't gon na cut it . you were masterful , you were wonderful , but i am not tossing together some half - assed wedding . jack : so , you want the flowers and the seating chart and all the window dressing ? phyllis : the window dressing is the wedding . jack : no . no . two people standing before god , making a promise -- you and me . that 's a wedding . phyllis : quit trying to make me swoon over you . jack : is it working ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] yeah . jack : by april 's end , you will be my wife . kevin : okay . we can assume whoever went after abby is the same person responsible for what went down at the cabin . we need to find them before they may each of us a visit . mariah : well , since austin was making a video on the titans of this town , i vote for the mustache himself . kevin : victor ? summer : what ? my grandpa would never -- mariah : austin was gunning for newman enterprises and nailing abby . that 's a twofer , so , yeah , i 'd say victor would take him out . summer : okay , well , you do n't know my grandpa . mariah : he paid me to pose as a dead girl and torment sharon . i think i know him . kyle : victor plays dirty . it does n't mean he goes for murder . kevin : well , he is the same person responsible for letting billy rot in a foreign prison while delia was really sick . summer : okay , well , what about all the notes in lipstick ? you 're telling me that that was my grandpa , too ? mariah : maybe he hired somebody who has a thing for lip liner or someone went rogue . kyle : what about abby ? victor would n't stand for what happened to her . kevin : she 's still breathing , is n't she ? mariah : someone who does n't care would have shut her up for good . summer : okay , this is ridiculous . my grandpa would never have killed my husband . kevin : what about jack ? kyle : no . not a chance . whatever his faults , my father is not that guy . mariah : but someone is that guy , or girl , and we need to find out who fast , because i need to know who to duck and cover from . abby : and these messages -- they 're just there , like , out of nowhere , like someone 's waiting and watching , like no place is safe , like no place will ever be safe again . stitch : no one is gon na hurt you again . abby : you do n't know that . stitch : we wo n't let them . abby : who 's we ? the police ? yeah , like they 'd believe me . i 'm the jilted lover who helped cover up a murder . there 's no way to spin that . there 's -- there 's no way to survive this . stitch : hey . now , there is someone out there who has something to hide who clearly will do whatever it takes . abby : like kill me . stitch : that is why it is time to get the police involved . abby : no . no . `` shut up or you 're next . `` that was the message . my life is a mess , but i do n't want to end up dead . you have to swear to me you will not tell anyone . victoria : okay . baby 's asleep . crisis averted . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] it 's really amazing . as quickly as katie can rile up , that 's how quickly she 's peaceful again . it 's too bad it 's not like that for the rest of us , huh ? stitch : that 'd be a handy trick , would n't it ? victoria : [ chuckles ] abby : you know what ? i 'm late for a party . [ chuckles ] victoria : what party ? abby : it 's actually billy 's engagement party to chelsea . victoria : how nice for them . abby : is this -- this weird ? i mean , this is weird , is n't it ? victoria : no . well , i mean , yes , but , you know , um , it 's not a surprise or anything . stitch : you sure you 're up for an event ? victoria : ben 's right . you know , if you 're feeling the least bit sick , then -- abby : no , no . i ca n't not go . victoria : well , i do n't want you going alone . i mean , maybe -- maybe i - i can take you . abby : as my plus - one ? stitch : to billy 's engagement party ? abby : [ chuckles ] that 's not bizarre at all . victoria : i mean , if we can raise two kids together , i can toast to his happiness . [ chuckles ] abby : and i believe you , but -- but still . stitch : yeah , it 's a little weird . victoria : okay . all right . i just -- i still do n't want you going alone . stitch : i got it . how about -- how about i drive abby ? victoria : ah , there you go . perfect . stitch : yeah . victoria : do n't argue . [ cell phone vibrates ] victoria : oh . stitch : oh , more bean counting ? victoria : [ chuckles ] yeah . it 's so tedious . stitch : how about this -- how about you stay and deal with work and i 'll make sure abby gets a medical escort to the family function ? victoria : yes . thank you so much . that 's perfect . and you -- no alcohol . and call one of us if you feel the least bit off , okay ? abby : oh , i 'll feel off . i can pretty much guarantee it . you did n't tell victoria . stitch : yeah , well , that does n't mean i think you should n't . abby : everyone who knows is in danger . leave victoria out of this , at least until we know who 's after us . stitch : all right . well , let 's be clear about one thing then . do not try to find out who did this , not on your own , at least . you push too hard , you could end up with more than a bump on your head . kyle : all right . are we good here ? kevin : good ? no , not really . summer : wait , why ? do you have somewhere you need to be ? kyle : billy 's engagement party . but i 'm not just gon na leave you here like this . summer : no . go . i mean , it 's better not to draw attention . we need to at least try to act normal . mariah : normal ? us ? kevin : try . she said we should try . summer : [ sighs ] mariah : all right . go do recon -- drink champagne and ask if any of the abbotts have committed murder lately to protect the family business . kevin : yeah , you could do that . or just do the exact opposite . kyle : yeah . i 'm gon na take a crack at the `` normal `` thing . you want to walk me out ? summer : yeah . kyle : okay . thanks . kevin : finally . now i can get back to work . mariah : what ? more code cracking and computer cleverness ? kevin : austin recorded his every thought , so the more files i crack ... mariah : austin might have id 'd his killer . kevin : exactly . jack : `` my love to you , billy , and welcome to the family , chelsea . how brave of you to -- [ chuckles ] to join the loving , infuriating , unpredictable abbotts . you 're one of us now . always . love , traci . `` chelsea : aww . sage : someone 's in a rush to get loaded . adam : you playing the scolding wife now ? that 's fun . sage : scold you ? i was gon na get you a refill . maybe then you 'd pass out and stop embarrassing yourself or at least stop staring at the bride - to - be . billy : wait , wait . jack : no , no . no checking phones . billy : no , it 's from mom , and she and colin are gon na be late . ashley : uh - oh . maybe colin had to stop off and knock off a bank before he got here . jack : he might run into jeffrey there , who has the same idea . jeffrey is n't coming to this , is he ? chelsea : uh , no . billy : ah , the ebb and flow of family relationships . chelsea : mm - hmm . and my mom is out of town , so ... ashley : oh , well . i guess it 's just gon na be an intimate party , then . phyllis : well , it 'll lessen the disaster potential . billy : oh , there 's a toast if ever i heard one . refill your glass ? chelsea : uh , yes , please . ashley : billy . did you notice that phyllis is wearing her engagement ring again ? billy : yeah , and you 're actually smiling about it . ashley : yeah . i 'm happy for them . anything 's better than kelly , even phyllis . sage : should i pour you into bed now ? adam : pour me into bed ? no . i 'm not nicholas . [ chuckles ] sage : you wish . all right . can you just turn down the jerk level just a notch ? jack : enjoying ourselves , are we ? adam : oh , this -- this -- this is ... a marvelous party . it 's like mardi gras in here , jack . jack : if this is not your thing , everyone will understand . adam : mm . no , this is my thing . i 'm gon na make it my thing all the way over to the , uh , champagne cart . jack : this is not working . sage : gabe knows what he has to do , okay ? i made it clear . jack : you may have been able to handle the old gabe . this new version -- you have no idea . sage : [ sighs ] victoria : hi . it 's me . stitch : it 's me here , too . abby is safely at the abbotts ' and i 'm getting a java fix . want me to bring you anything home ? victoria : no . actually , that 's why i 'm calling . the kids are running to the office for a bit . stitch : is everything okay ? victoria : it 's just this new project that dad 's focusing on . stitch : i wo n't even ask . there will be no jabot / newman business drama for us . go be a mogul . i 'll be home waiting for you when you get done . victoria : yeah , we 're no business and all pleasure , are n't we ? stitch : ah , well , that 's the recipe for love and happiness . well , so i 've heard . [ chuckles ] i 'll see you soon . victoria : bye . stitch : kevin . what are you all messing with ? kevin : huh ? stitch : abby told me everything -- the cabin , austin , the messages . kevin : abby told you what when ? when she was medicated out of her mind after getting mugged ? stitch : she was very coherent , and she told me everything . mariah : so , kyle was your boyfriend then he was your brother then he left and now he 's back and apparently your white knight . it 's adorable ... or nauseating . i ca n't decide which . summer : what is it , mariah ? are you jealous again ? mariah : again ? summer : you threw yourself at austin , then you found out that he wanted abby more than he wanted you . so , yes , again . mariah : and evidently more than he wanted you , but we 're talking about kyle and the special place he has in your glittery pink heart . no wonder austin put up with it . summer : what is that supposed to mean ? mariah : i mean he obviously had more passion and devotion to this documentary than he ever had for you . so it seems like he only married you to stay out of jail . and then he only stayed with you to get dirt on your family . ouch . ashley : are you sure you 're okay ? you do n't have a headache ? abby : no , i 'm all better and ready to celebrate . responsibly . ashley : i 'm gon na get you a glass of water . abby : water . yeah . that 's exactly what i meant . kyle : hey . did you get my text ? abby : yes . that 's why i 'm so happy and upbeat . according to those videos , austin hated both of my families . which says a lot about how he felt about me . kyle : we do n't know how he felt about you . abby : i think we do .

paige : it 's pretty bad . daphne : i 'm sorry . i feel really guilty for pushing you to have it out with him . maybe you should just -- i do n't know . forget about him ? paige : yeah , that 's -- that 's what my mom wants me to do too . jj : what do you want ? eve : are you insane ? are you trying to make things worse here ? jj : no , i 'm trying to fix it . eve : by telling paige that you slept with somebody ? how 's that fixing it , jj ? jj : well , i figured it would be it for her and me . is n't that what you wanted ? eve : not if she 's trying to figure out who it is . she is convinced that she knows the woman . jj : well , i never said that . eve : no , no . you -- she brought it up . you just had that guilty look on your face . yeah , apparently you 're just a jim dandy of a liar to everybody else but her . but i want to know why i 'm hearing it from my daughter and not from you . jj : i do n't owe you a damn thing . eve : no . you owe paige , damn it . and you better not mess this up . living with chronic migraine daniel : well , this is a surprise . jennifer : yeah . um , i was really calling to ask you a huge favor . it 's about jj . daniel : is something wrong ? jennifer : could we talk about it in person ? daniel : uh , well , i only have a minute right now , and then i 'm busy tonight . jennifer : uh , how 'bout tomorrow ? daniel : fine . jennifer : there 's just something going on with him , and , uh , i do n't think that i can help him the way you can . daniel : i 'd do anything for jj . you know that . jennifer : i am so grateful to hear you say that , and i really appreciate it . so , um , i 'll check my schedule , and i 'll give you a call tomorrow , okay ? thank you . bye - bye . okay . i just hope this works . and if it does n't , i 'm gon na keep on trying . eve : did you tell your little pothead friends about us ? jj : no . do you think i would want anybody to know that ? eve : well , then why 'd you shoot your mouth off to paige ? jj : okay , all i said was -- eve : was the stupidest thing you could 've said , 'cause now she 's trying to figure out who the woman is . jj : well , tell her that that would just make things worse . eve : i did , jj , but i still do n't think she 's gon na drop it , all right ? jj : okay , she will , because she hates me , and i 'm the last person that she wants to think about right now . eve : well , you know what ? you better hope that 's true , 'cause i am all she has right now , and if you take that away from her by telling her about us , it will destroy her . it will destroy her , jj , and you know it . and if you love her as much as you say that you do ... jj : yeah , i love her . eve : well , then you know that she can not ever , ever find out about us . daphne : do n't you think the best thing to do is to just -- paige : what ? forget about it ? daphne : maybe . paige : jj was like the best thing that ever happened to me . daphne : he cheated on you . paige : well , that was because i told him my mom and i were never coming back from l.a . he thought he 'd lost me . that 's when some little bitch got to him . i 'm gon na find out who she is if it 's the last thing i ever do , and i 'm gon na make her as miserable as she 's made me . abigail : anne cornered me today . jordan : ugh , now what ? abigail : yeah , she said that she has some very serious reservations about our project . jordan : great . abigail : i know . she wants to have a meeting with the two of us . jordan , are you sure you 're okay ? i mean , i know you 're not okay , but you seem like you 're a little distracted , and we absolutely do n't have to do this right now . jordan : no , no . i 'm just tired . oh , uh , we need to make copies of the revisions that we made to give to anne and seth burns . abigail : yeah , i 'll go do it . jordan : okay . abigail : i 'll definitely -- i 'll just get on that right now . jordan : thank you . abigail : yeah . jordan , i 'm really glad that we 're working this out . jordan : me too . abigail : okay . clyde : mm . kate : [ chuckles ] clyde : woman , you are a master . kate : well , i gather you saw some of the online coverage . clyde : i have . [ both chuckle ] kate : you know , chad thinks that they 're making you out to be a saint , but i think you undersold it . working so hard not to take credit for all that generosity -- that 's a move worthy of tom horton . clyde : who 's that ? kate : the patron saint of this town . clyde : hmm . kate : the real one . clyde : well , i would like to be a fly on the wall when victor kiriakis reads those stories . kate : why do you care what he thinks ? clyde : i do n't know . i get the feeling he just does n't like me . i just ca n't figure it out why . kate : [ chuckling ] clyde : i do n't know . maybe it 's 'cause i got you . brady : when you and i were doing that dance in front of your father back there ... melanie : yeah . brady : it occurred to me that if we were to -- if -- melanie : `` take it to the next level `` ? brady : i hate that expression so much . melanie : i know ! i know . brady : it is the most ridiculous -- melanie : me too . me too . brady : but , yeah . he could think that i 'm the worst person in the world for you , you know that ? melanie : you guys are friends . brady : when i fell off the wagon , melanie , i -- i was a jerk to him . i was to everybody . melanie : you 're sober now . you 've always been great to me . you know , my dad could think i 'm the worst person in the world for you too . brady : i ca n't imagine why . melanie : so we 're -- we 're back to -- to where we started , where we -- the talking about whether or not we should date . brady : mm - hmm . let 's get out of here . let 's -- let 's just leave this room please . let 's go . melanie : good call . no more close calls . brady : no more close calls . maggie : [ gasps ] brady : whoa . maggie : oh .
jj told jennifer that he cheated on paige . eve asked if paige knew who jj slept with . clyde told jordan that she killed her mother and her mother 's baby . paige said jj did n't tell her the person 's name . paige talked to eve about the person who slept with jj . jennifer wanted to know who he slept with . jj said he hates the woman . jordan did n't believe clyde . he forced her to remember what happened to her mother . chad confronted kate about what happened during the press conference at the hospital . clyde continued to taunt jordan about what she did to her mother . jordan finally remembered what happened . clyde warned her that he would tell ben what she did to their mother and his baby brother if she tried to come between him and ben . jj did n't get a chance to tell jennifer about the woman he was with because maggie showed up .
<s>[INST] melanie : so we 're in agreement ? brady : i hope so . are you coming by the house later ? melanie : it 's a date . daniel : so you 're going on a date ? melanie : [ laughs ] daniel : who with ? jj : when paige was out in l.a. , i -- jennifer : what ? you what ? just say it . jj : i hooked up with someone else . eve : you -- you know who jj slept with ? what exactly did he tell you ? kate : thanks , mr. shin . i 'm glad to hear we 're all on the same page . and we 'll talk to you again next week . chad : zaijian . kate : what did you just say ? chad : good - bye in mandarin , i hope . kate : ha - ha . chad : i think that went well . kate : yeah . yes , that was a thrill a minute . what are you doing ? chad : you mind telling me what that little show down at the hospital was today ? kate : what show ? chad : the one where you got the media to appoint your little hillbilly boyfriend as the patron saint of salem . jordan : you 're just making up lies like you always do . no ! [ grunts ] clyde : it 's time you faced up to what you did , girl . you did n't just kill your mama . she was pregnant . that 's what she told you , and that 's what made you do what you did . you killed the baby she was carrying , and you knew you were doing it . you not only killed your mama , you killed our son right along with her . jordan : no , that 's not true ! clyde : i would n't want to remember either if i were you , but it happened , and you know it . paige : mom , he did n't tell me her name . [ crying ] eve : honey , then why did you say that you know her ? paige : because of the way he was acting , mom . and i said to him -- i said , `` it 's somebody i know , is n't it ? `` and i saw the look in his eye . he could n't deny it . eve : hey , he did n't confirm it either , right ? paige : well , at first , i thought it was bev walters . she 's always had a thing for jj , and she hates me . then i ran into her , and she did n't brag about it , so ... eve : so , honey , you were wrong . paige : well , about that , yeah , but i 'm not wrong about it being somebody i know . whoever she was , she had to have known how i felt about jj . everybody knows . and she went ahead and slept with him anyway . who would do something like that , mom ? who ? jennifer : okay , i can see why you 're upset with yourself . does paige know ? how 'd she find out ? jj : i told her . i just figured that she had the right to know . jennifer : okay , well , is this a girl that i know ? is it someone that you care about ? jj : care about ? are you kidding me ? mom , i hate her guts . ben : i never should 've let clyde talk me into keeping this from jordan . i knew it was gon na come back to bite me . abigail : if you would 've told her , then this idea of your sister 's would still be just an idea . ben : well , it would still be better than her finding out that i 'm lined up with clyde . abigail : look , she has n't seen what this money can do yet , okay ? once she does , once she sees that , then she 's gon na find a way to accept that he 's a part of this . ben : are you serious , abigail ? what the hell is wrong with you ? clyde : your mama was carrying my baby . jordan : no ! you keep trying to make me believe things that did n't happen . clyde : you remember getting her into that truck . jordan : no . see , that 's not the way it went down . she begged me to drive her . clyde : oh , yeah ? and where were you going ? you must know that . jordan : no , i do n't know . i do n't know . she -- she did n't say . she did n't know . clyde : well , come on now . you had some place to take her , and you needed the truck to get there . jordan : no , leave me alone . clyde : where were you going ? jordan : i do n't -- she -- i do n't know , okay ! she -- she said she had to go , and i had to take her . we were in a hurry . and i told her , `` mama , i do n't know how to drive a stick shift . `` clyde : where were you going ? jordan : we were going -- [ crying ] we were going to the doctor 's office . no . clyde : that 's right . jordan : no . clyde : that 's right . jordan : no . clyde : but she was n't sick , so why would she need to see a doctor ? jordan : no , no , no , it had to be an accident . no , it had to be . i would never hurt her ! clyde : why would she need to see a doctor ? jordan : [ sobbing ] because of the baby . because of the baby . melanie : i just think you have dating on the brain because you 're about to go on one with nicole tonight . daniel : okay , if you found somebody you liked and had fun with , i 'd be happy for you . melanie : okay . daniel : just saying . as long as it was somebody i approved of . melanie : is n't that supposed to work both ways ? daniel : okay , i was up front about nicole . i did n't try to hide it from you . i just did n't give you veto power . melanie : yeah , i noticed that . daniel : yeah , that 's reserved for fathers with impetuous daughters . melanie : huh . daniel : mm - hmm . melanie : i see . daniel : yeah . melanie : okay , well , i 'm gon na go get ready to hang out with my friend that i was just talking to on the phone before you came in . daniel : oh , you got to do that right now . melanie : right now . daniel : huh . melanie : yep , gon na get ready . daniel : interesting . brady : hello ? daniel : hey , brady . it 's daniel . brady : hey , man . what 's up ? daniel : you and i have a problem . abigail : why are you jumping all over me ? ben : because you 're acting like jordan should just get over what clyde did to her . abigail : no -- no , i 'm not . i 'm not acting like she should just get over this . all i 'm saying is that she should try to maybe acknowledge the fact that he is trying to change . ben , we 've talked about this . you 're letting him pay your tuition . ben : abigail , that 's me . she was the oldest . she had it the worst . she was the one who risked everything for us to get away from him . abigail : i know . i know . i understand that , okay ? i do . but eventually , she 's gon na see that clyde was only trying to make this project a success . she 's gon na get it , and she 'll stop being mad at you . ben : that 's not true . abigail : why ? why ? ben , it 's not like you came up with some plan to make sure she would find out so that clyde could take all the credit or anything , right ? ben ? ben : i think i might know where she could 've gone . abigail : okay , well , wait . where are you going ? ben : i just have to check on something . kate : i have no idea what you 're talking about . chad : so you have n't seen the online stories about clyde 's selfless contribution to jordan 's charity project ? kate : oh , my -- and if you think he 's gon na be happy about me having a hand in what happened , then you do n't know him at all . chad : oh , nice try , because i watched you pushing the reporters to identify the mystery donor . kate : to protect the hospital . i 'm a board member . so are you . chad : [ chuckles ] protect it from what ? kate : from that do - gooder scheme that 's the brainchild -- and i 'm using the word `` brain `` advisedly -- of those two airheads who could barely run a hair dryer together . chad : that 's enough . jordan is not an airhead , and neither is abigail . kate : [ groans ] chad : this project is going forward . in fact , it would not even exist if it were n't for jordan . it was her idea . kate : [ laughing ] please . if that woman ever had an idea , it would die of loneli -- chad : i said enough ! back off jordan . i mean it . clyde : that 's right . she wanted to go to the doctor 'cause of the baby . she was carrying my baby , and you knew that meant she would n't leave me like you wanted her to . and that 's why you did it . jordan : no . clyde : they told me , you know . it was a little boy . your baby brother . jordan : no . no , it was an accident . it had to be . clyde : drink it . go on , drink it . now , after the crash , even though i lost my wife and my child , i got you out of there , and i protected you , 'cause i knew your brother was gon na need you more than ever . as for what happened after that , i 've told you how sorry i am , how much i regret that , and one day , i will have to answer to my maker for what i did . but for now , you will treat me with more respect . i got a chance with ben . you do anything to mess that up , i will tell him everything : how you climbed behind the wheel of that truck and deliberately killed his mama ... jordan : no . clyde : and his baby brother . are you listening to what i 'm saying ? brady : uh , daniel , i do n't know what you 're talking about . what kind of problem do we have ? daniel : well , i was driving myself crazy today trying to remember who i loaned my mountain bike to last year . brady : yeah . [ laughs ] yeah , yeah , it was me . it was me . it 's still in the garage . i forgot all about it . i have n't been doing a lot of biking in the last couple months . so i 'm sorry about that . daniel : you want to make it up to me ? brady : anything . what ? daniel : bring it back to me . brady : sure . sure . when ? daniel : now . brady : now ? daniel : yeah , i just got home from the hospital , and i got to go out tonight . i got to get ready . tomorrow 's supposed to be a decent day . i thought i could go for an early morning ride . but it can wait if you 're busy . brady : no . no , no , no . i 'll -- i 'll -- i 've had it for way too long . i 'll -- i 'll be right there . daniel : thanks , buddy . melanie : hey , i just heard you on the phone . everything okay ? daniel : everything 's great . just great . [ cell phone vibrates ] jennifer : just talk to me . tell me what happened . maybe -- maybe you 'll feel better . [ doorbell dings ] jennifer : i 'll get that . stay right here . maggie : oh , good . you 're home . jennifer : uh , yeah . is something wrong ? maggie : oh , absolutely not . oh , no . i was just out running errands , and it hit me that you and i have n't talked in awhile , so i just thought i 'd take a chance . is this a bad time ? jj : no . no , i was just on my way out . maggie : oh , okay . jj : it 's good to see you , aunt maggie . maggie : great to see you too . jennifer : jj , wait . aunt maggie , stay right here . maggie : sure . jennifer : jj , please . please do n't leave like this . eve : come on . i want you to listen to me , all right ? paige ? you stop trying to figure out who this mystery woman is , okay ? it 's just gon na make you feel worse . jj , he -- he showed you his true colors , and you should be grateful . paige : that 's crazy . eve : no , no , no . you dodged a bullet here . i mean , do you want to spend the rest of your life just looking around wondering what he 's doing when you 're not there ? paige : no . eve : of course you do n't . that 's why now you can just walk away and move on and know that you did the right thing . paige : but i do n't know how to make it stop hurting , mom . eve : oh . paige : [ crying ] i was sitting here thinking of , you know , all the times i met jj right here at the square , and everything that i see reminds me of being with him . eve : well , you know what ? then -- then we 'll just get out of here . paige : what ? eve : no , we will leave here tonight . we 'll go to l.a. tonight . chad : i want you to stop bothering and putting down jordan , or i promise you , i will make you regret it . kate : my , my , my . i think your ordeal has changed you . you 're morphing into your dad in some ways . but in the romance department , you are still clueless . chad : yeah , you think you know me . you have no idea who i am . kate : really ? so tell me , how many women were there between abigail and jordan ? i rest my case . jordan is playing you like a walleyed pike , and the rest of us can just sit back and watch as she reels you in . clyde : pull yourself together and get out of here . you know , i 'm sorry , but it was time . lying to yourself about something you did -- there 's no good in that . [ knocking at door ] ben : jordan . what happened here ? what the hell did you do to her ? daniel : wow . you look -- you look great . where are you and your date going ? melanie : nowhere special . all my jeans are in the laundry . daniel : oh , okay . if you say so . melanie : what 's wrong with trying to look nice ? daniel : nothing . nothing . so you leaving now ? melanie : did you update my phone yet ? daniel : oh , so you need a man to do that job for you , is that right ? melanie : oh , i 'm sorry i 'm not tech savvy , dad . daniel : well , you got time for me to do it now ? melanie : yeah . it 's on the table . [ knock at door ] melanie : i got it . daniel : all right . melanie : hi . what are you doing here ? jj : mom , i love you , and i know you care about me , but guys do n't talk to their moms about stuff like this , okay ? it 's just -- it 's weird . jennifer : no , it 's not , because i can help you . please . jj : no , you ca n't , mom . jennifer : just talk to me . tell me . i mean , tell me that you at least used protection . jj : oh , god , mom . no , that 's not the problem . jennifer : what ? does that mean that you did n't ? jj : i ca n't talk about this . i got to get out of here . jennifer : jj . maggie : well , it looks like my timing could n't have been worse . is jj all right ? jennifer : no . he 's definitely not all right . eve : you know , we could both use a fresh start , and i know daddy and kimberly would be thrilled . and , you know , you can start stanford early . paige : no , mom . just stop , okay ? i know what you 're doing . eve : oh , honey , what -- what do you mean ? paige : you do n't have to work so hard to protect me . and the winter quarter at stanford started on the 5th . it 's too late . and classes here start tomorrow . besides , i did n't do anything wrong . i 'm not gon na let jj make me feel like i have to run away . eve : right . you just said that everything that you look at around here reminds you of him . that 's all . paige : well , it does , but i 'll get over it , okay ? eve : okay . you 're so strong , sweetheart . paige : i wish i was . i need to just walk and get my head straight , okay ? eve : do you want me to go with you ? paige : mom , i 'll be home later . eve : that little son of a bitch . ben : i asked you a question . why has she been crying ? clyde : well , i think it best if your sister explain that . jordan : i came over here to talk to clyde because he had donated the money without telling me . ben : i figured that . that 's why i came here . jordan : well , things got pretty intense , but i decided i 'm not gon na fight it . and actually , i do n't even want to . you know , we talked it out , and the project could really use the money , and it 's gon na help a lot of people , and that 's all that really matters . and i 'm really sorry that i flew off the handle with you . i had no right . i 'm really sorry . brady : check your phone . you should probably get those gears checked out before you take that thing out tomorrow . daniel : oh , yeah ? well , so what 's wrong ? brady : i took -- i took it for a spin . it was kind of -- it was kind of sticky . i do n't -- it just -- there 's something funky going on . you should probably -- it 's in the garage if you want to take a look at it . daniel : nah , i really do n't have time to look at it right now , but thanks for bringing it by . i 'll check it out later , make sure it 's all good to go for my next ride . brady : yeah . daniel : yeah . brady : no , i would hate to -- i would hate to screw up something that belonged to you . daniel : nah , i doubt you could ever do that . look , does n't she look amazing ? brady : wow , yeah . she -- she sure does . daniel : yeah . she 's going out on a date . not really telling me where she 's going . melanie : i got to go . daniel : now ? melanie : yep . daniel : yeah ? phone 's okay ? you good with that ? melanie : yeah , yeah . nah , that can wait . i do n't want to be late . daniel : are you sure ? melanie : so bye . yeah . daniel : okay . melanie : okay , all right . love you . daniel : love you , honey . melanie : and i 'll see you . brady : yeah . see you around . daniel : oh , get that . melanie : yep . okay . [ chuckles ] daniel : [ chuckles ] wow . okay . thanks for bringing my bike back . brady : hey , i 'm sorry it took so long . daniel : ah , do n't worry about it . no worries at all . why do n't you stick around and just tell me what you 've been up to ? brady : you know , i 'd like to . i 'd like to . i 've got to -- i got a meeting i got to get to . daniel : all right . all right , well , another time , right ? brady : another time . daniel : okay . brady : see you , man . daniel : you bet . maggie : it 's frustrating when you ca n't help your children the way you 'd like to . jennifer : yeah . [ sniffles ] maggie : maybe jj will be in a different frame of mind when he comes home , and then you can -- you can give it another try . jennifer : yeah . right . maggie : i have to go . jennifer : oh , okay . maggie : i love you , you know . jennifer : i love you too . and i do n't know what i would do if i could n't talk to you , even though i ca n't tell you what 's wrong . maggie : it 's okay . i love you . jennifer : love you , aunt maggie . maggie : i 'll see myself out . jennifer : okay . okay , aunt maggie , you 're right . i have to figure out a way to help him , and i am not gon na give up . chad : hi . abigail : hi . chad : i was -- i was looking for jordan . abigail : uh , right . of course you were . she 's not here . she left . i do n't know where she is . chad : really ? abigail : yes , really . she 's pretty upset about all this . chad : you mean clyde being the mystery donor . abigail : you know , chad , maybe she would n't have taken this as such a shock if you had n't let her think that this was you . chad : okay , hold on . i never said anything to her to give her that idea . no , honestly . in fact , i did n't even know she thought that until that whole scene in front of the reporters . okay , you want somebody to blame about jordan being upset ? why do n't you talk to your boyfriend ? abigail : i 've tried to talk to my boyfriend , and he wo n't listen to me because he 's too upset , but thank you . chad : wait , he 's upset with you ? why ? abigail : because he -- he has every right to be . [ sighs ] ben : do n't apologize to me . i went along with this whole thing when my gut was telling me to do the exact opposite . i should 've just leveled with you from the beginning . jordan : no , it 's okay . whatever you do , i know that you 're always on my side . ben : i always will be . jordan : i got to get back to the hospital . i 've been gone too long , so ... ben : abigail 's been trying to call you . she was really worried . jordan : well , i will go find her , let her know that everything 's okay . ben : okay . [ door clicks ] clyde : uh , ben . could you stay on for a minute ? ben : i guess i can . i 'll talk to you later . daniel : yeah . that 's why i called you . i wanted you to know before you saw us at the opening of victor 's club tonight . maggie : ah , well , thank you . daniel : sure . maggie : you want me to know about you and nicole , but you 'd rather i did n't express an opinion . daniel : okay , well , i did n't try to hide it , right ? maggie : no , and i appreciate that . i 'm always gon na have reservations about nicole . you know that . daniel : it 's funny . your granddaughter said about the same thing , yeah . maggie : melanie and i both love you , and we want you happy . daniel : yeah , she said that too . but i am . i am . and this time , i have got my eyes wide open . melanie : [ laughs ] that was embarrassing . brady : yeah , i tried to warn you that i was coming over . melanie : yeah , i know . sorry . thank you . we 're being weird about something we do n't even know if we need to be weird about . brady : yeah , i know . i -- that was awkward with your father . i mean , when he asked me if i thought you looked good in that dress ? melanie : oh . [ chuckles ] brady : i mean , what i wanted to say was -- what i wanted to say was something that you do n't say in front of a woman 's father . melanie : really ? brady : yeah , really . but then , my god . then i -- but another part of me was so worried about , i do n't want to hold out on a good friend like daniel , and -- are we crazy for even thinking about this ? melanie : i was just gon na ask you the same thing . chad : you ca n't blame yourself for what happened . abigail : ben never wanted to keep clyde 's donation a secret from jordan . it was me . i 'm the one who was afraid that jordan would refuse the donation if she found out that it was from him . chad : yeah , because you want to know what 's important , is getting this project up and running and making it a success . and if ben is gon na stay mad at you , then -- well , then you know what ? he 's just a fool who does n't appreciate how good he has it with someone like you . abigail : thanks . chad : you 're welcome . hey . i 've been looking all over for you . are you okay ? jordan : yeah , i 'm fine . why would n't i be ? [ sighs ] abigail : jordan , i 'm really sorry about all this . jordan : no , no , no . you know what ? i am the one that should be sorry . i overreacted , and then i pulled a disappearing act , and -- especially when we have so much work to get done today . i 'm sorry , but i 've already wasted so much of our time today . chad : okay . abigail : i do n't know if you want to maybe get started . if you do n't want to -- jordan : no , no . yeah , that 's okay . abigail : okay . clyde : well , i just wanted to apologize for sticking you in the middle of this mess . i think your sister 's gotten beyond the shock and surprise and is starting to see how much good that money 'll do . maybe she can start seeing how much a man can change too , huh ? that 's not too much to hope for , is it ? ben : if she 's okay with it , i 'm okay with it . i guess we 'll just see what happens next . clyde : oh , i know exactly what happens next . you 're starting school tomorrow , are n't you ? ben : i 'm really looking forward to it . clyde : you always were a good student . ben : anyway , i got to be going . i 'm on break from work . clyde : yeah , i wo n't keep you . oh ! hello . [ laughs ] kate : hi . clyde : uh ... ben : hi . clyde : am i late for our dinner date ? i lost track of the time . i was -- you know my son , ben , do n't you ? kate : yes , i do . hi . ben : hi . kate : no . and -- no , you 're not late . actually , i came over here to apologize . i 'm sure ben told you that i was the idiot who pressured him into telling that you were the anonymous donor for the charity . clyde : come on . no apology necessary . all 's well that ends well , right , ben ? ben : i guess so . anyway , i was just telling clyde i have to get back to work . kate : oh , okay . clyde : take care , son . daphne : i got your text . how are you doing ? paige : i guess the scene i made with jj in the lounge has n't made the rounds yet . daphne : what happened ? paige : well , the high point was me slapping him across the face . daphne : [ laughs ] oh , he had it coming . did he tell you who he hooked up with ? paige : but i 'm sure it was somebody that i know . daphne : this is killing you , is n't it ? paige : it 's pretty bad . daphne : i 'm sorry . i feel really guilty for pushing you to have it out with him . maybe you should just -- i do n't know . forget about him ? paige : yeah , that 's -- that 's what my mom wants me to do too . jj : what do you want ? eve : are you insane ? are you trying to make things worse here ? jj : no , i 'm trying to fix it . eve : by telling paige that you slept with somebody ? how 's that fixing it , jj ? jj : well , i figured it would be it for her and me . is n't that what you wanted ? eve : not if she 's trying to figure out who it is . she is convinced that she knows the woman . jj : well , i never said that . eve : no , no . you -- she brought it up . you just had that guilty look on your face . yeah , apparently you 're just a jim dandy of a liar to everybody else but her . but i want to know why i 'm hearing it from my daughter and not from you . jj : i do n't owe you a damn thing . eve : no . you owe paige , damn it . and you better not mess this up . living with chronic migraine daniel : well , this is a surprise . jennifer : yeah . um , i was really calling to ask you a huge favor . it 's about jj . daniel : is something wrong ?

carly and craig share more alcohol , as they are happy with how things are working out ; their night is interrupted by parker , who has flown there to see liberty , thanks to jack . parker is none to happy to hear liberty is at a party . when liberty comes home with her new young boss , colin , in tow , parker is angry and lashes out at carly and craig mostly but also at liberty . parker hurls insults at his mother , who he spits has become an alcoholic . liberty storms out and parker goes after her . carly is hurt , as craig tries to comfort her . parker and liberty fight about her internship and moving to ny without him . parker is sure liberty is no longer in love with him and wants to get away from him . liberty tries to make him understand and finally tells him that she thinks she will just pass on the internship and find something closer to home . parker is thrilled liberty chose him , as he sees it . craig forces carly to sober up and then offers to talk with parker when carly wants to . craig learns from a smug parker that they did n't win , and he and liberty are staying together ; he even tells craig that liberty is passing on the internship too . craig chooses not to tell a distraught looking carly of the new events when carly is sure parker hates her . craig offers to hold carly to comfort her , as carly lets him . damian appeals to lily that he is n't the one sabotaging the foundation . lily still does n't believe him , and is even more convinced of his guilt when she finds a grimaldi ring in the drawer where the disks disappeared . she confronts damian , who proves it is n't his , since the ring is way too small , but he thinks someone else from his family might be involved . lily seems to be wondering if he might be true . they start to go over the evidence , as damian wonders about the partial username that noah remembered – pesc1 . damian takes lily home where he sees luke , who is not pleased to see him and is still adamant that he is the guilty party . luke is also not happy to see that both lily and noah appear to believe damian now . lily wants him to know they are all on the same side , but luke does n't think they are . luke and noah have another strange run in with zac and zoe . zoe wants to use the ouija board to talk to the spirits about who is trying to destroy the foundation . the initials lg appear when zoe asks who the spirits want to talk with and luke admits that is his true initials , but he does n't want to get more involved . the lights go out , and noah goes looking for zac , who has been snooping in luke 's room ; he finds him waiting for him without a shirt . zac comes onto noah , who again turns him down . zoe flirts with luke , who turns her down . noah is starting to dislike zac and zoe and worries that they ca n't be trusted , but luke thinks they are harmless . later , after noah offers damian his support in finding who is trying to sabotage the foundation , and they realize the username may be pisces , noah sees zac and zoe wearing matching pisces necklaces and confronts them on it . they react in such a dramatic way that noah thinks he might be reaching , but he still ultimately looks like he is unsure about them .

just tell me about l.a . cleo : well , i went to los angeles because i wanted to be a singer . i wanted to be somebody just like gwen . will : right . cleo : and it was my last night there and i did n't have a lot of money left and i heard that there was this open mic night and that 's where i saw gwen . and when i heard her sing , i knew that i would never ever have what she had unless i pretended . will : so did you follow her here ? cleo : no , i went back home , but it was pretty awful there . so i was just stopping through here . i 'm on my way to chicago . and i saw that gwen was singing at the club . and i got to hear her . she sounds even better now , huh ? more real . will : okay , let 's just not talk about gwen . keep talking about you . what happened after you saw her at crash ? cleo : well , i realized i 'm never going to be able to sing like that . but i really appreciate it a lot and i thought that maybe she 'd like to know that . that she gets to people like me . and that 's where i really started to mess up kind of bad . will : okay , now we have a real basic problem here and we 're in some freaky territory of human behavior . because as much as i 'd like to be nice to you , i have to protect my wife . cleo : i understand that . will : do you ? do you really ? because no matter how sorry i feel for you , i do n't know what you could do or say that 's going to show me that this is over and is never going to happen again . cleo : i do n't know , either . will : what 's your last name ? cleo : babbit . my name is cleo babbit . will : do you have a driver 's license ? cleo : yeah . it 's right there . will : okay . so now i have your full name , your home address and your drivers license number . so if i ever see you anywhere near gwen ever again , i 'm going to go to the cops and they 're going to put you in their system . cleo : okay . well , just so you know , i know i may seem like a real whack job and stuff , but i would never hurt anybody who has a voice like that . not ever .

let me guess , you 've never heard of the email ? cleo : no , what email ? will : there was an email designed to get gwen to go out of town . see , this is just a really crazy coincidence that someone wrote an email to get gwen to leave town and you 're running around dressed up to look just like her . cleo : i did n't mean to hurt anybody , i really did n't . will : no , that would be jade . did she tell you that this was just a goof ? that this was all in good fun ? cleo : no . will : because this is not a goof and this is not fun . and maybe you do n't know why she 's doing this , but she 's setting something up . something bad . so you 're going to tell me everything -- everything you know so i can stop her from hurting gwen one more time . cleo : okay , i know that you 're upset . you have every right to be upset . it 's just that when i get scared , i get nervous and i act even more stupid . so if you stop raising your voice at me , i can try to tell you the entire truth . will : okay , good . let 's get started . cleo : okay . i know that you think somebody put me up to this , right ? will : right . cleo : well , they did n't . i did this all on my own . and i know that you do n't believe that it 's a goof , but it kind of is . i just thought i 'd come here and gwen would open the door and she 'd see somebody who looks just like her . will : what 's your name ? cleo : cleo . will : well , that was a good goof , cleo . but why are you wearing gwen 's clothes ? cleo : i know that i should n't have . it 's just that nobody was home . will : and you just could n't help yourself . cleo : yeah , she 's just so cool . the way she puts things together . i 'd never think about it myself . will : so you dressed up in her clothes . cleo : yeah . i know that it sounds crazy . i was going to leave right then , but then your mom came and i had to fool her . i absolutely had to . and that 's when i realized , if i could fool her then maybe i could fool other people too . will : what a thrill . cleo : except you . will : what an accomplishment . cleo : i 'll take off her clothes . and your mom left a dress for her . she 's really sweet . will : so after you take off gwen 's clothes and you give back the dress , then what ? cleo : i 'll leave . will : well , that 's one way to go . but i have a better idea . cleo : what are you doing ? will : calling the cops . cleo : will , listen -- before you call the police , can i tell you about my last night in los angeles ? will : is it a long story ? cleo : i do n't think so . will : well , you can just tell me while the cops are on their way , okay ? cleo : i do n't know what i 've done . will : my dad was on the police force , so they 're going to show up pretty quick . do n't -- do n't cry , all right ? just tell me about l.a . cleo : well , i went to los angeles because i wanted to be a singer . i wanted to be somebody just like gwen . will : right . cleo : and it was my last night there and i did n't have a lot of money left and i heard that there was this open mic night and that 's where i saw gwen . and when i heard her sing , i knew that i would never ever have what she had unless i pretended . will : so did you follow her here ? cleo : no , i went back home , but it was pretty awful there . so i was just stopping through here . i 'm on my way to chicago . and i saw that gwen was singing at the club . and i got to hear her . she sounds even better now , huh ? more real . will : okay , let 's just not talk about gwen . keep talking about you . what happened after you saw her at crash ? cleo : well , i realized i 'm never going to be able to sing like that . but i really appreciate it a lot and i thought that maybe she 'd like to know that . that she gets to people like me . and that 's where i really started to mess up kind of bad . will : okay , now we have a real basic problem here and we 're in some freaky territory of human behavior . because as much as i 'd like to be nice to you , i have to protect my wife . cleo : i understand that . will : do you ? do you really ? because no matter how sorry i feel for you , i do n't know what you could do or say that 's going to show me that this is over and is never going to happen again . cleo : i do n't know , either . will : what 's your last name ? cleo : babbit . my name is cleo babbit . will : do you have a driver 's license ? cleo : yeah . it 's right there . will : okay . so now i have your full name , your home address and your drivers license number . so if i ever see you anywhere near gwen ever again , i 'm going to go to the cops and they 're going to put you in their system . cleo : okay . well , just so you know , i know i may seem like a real whack job and stuff , but i would never hurt anybody who has a voice like that . not ever .

[ groans ] [ exhales sharply ] [ sighs ] i drove her to the hospital . and i -- i held douglas in my arms , and ... i felt so drawn to him , so connected to him . god , why did n't she say anything ? ridge : because a mother does what 's best for her child . douglas has a mother and a father that love him very much , and the only thing you can add to that is turmoil . thomas : no . i - i 'm becoming a better person . i am determined to become a better person . ridge : i know . i know that . so be one . thomas : by lying . by deceiving everyone . [ sighing ] oh , god . why did you tell me this ? ridge : not to hurt you . thomas : [ sighs ] ridge : but it had to be me . it had to be me , and i need you to understand something . look at me . caroline and i , we 're married . we love each other . and we love that little boy . we 're dedicated to him . i know this is hard . i get that . thomas : yeah . ridge : but you need to do what 's best for him , all right ? bringing all this up , telling everybody -- what 's that gon na do ? the repercussions of that -- what 's it gon na do to you , to me , to that little boy , and to caroline ? so , come on . be the man you say you want to be . do the right thing . thomas : [ exhales sharply ] it does n't feel right . it does n't feel right at all .

( dr. kloecker ) it 's an encouraging time to be treating advanced lung cancer . katie : thorne , i got over my feelings for bill a long time ago . we 've been divorced for years . i -- i married you ! thorne : i do n't regret anything that we 've done together . what we had was amazing . katie : had ? had ? you 're talking like it 's already over ! i do n't want to give up on our relationship . we 're just -- we 're just starting our life together ! thorne : [ sighs ] yeah . no , we were a family -- you , me , and will -- you know , when you had sole custody , but that 's no longer the case . bill 's really , you know , stepping it up . he 's the father and the man you 've always wanted him to be . katie : no , no , no . okay , bill finally is reaching out to our son and bonding with him , and i 'm thrilled about that , i 'm happy about that . they 're creating a normal , healthy relationship . but that is as far as it goes . thorne : well , i do n't think you 're aware of it because there are moments between you and bill . i know how you feel . katie : i 'm telling you . you 're wrong . i do n't even know where you 're coming up with this . i mean , you just -- you , what , you do n't even talk to me , you just hand me those papers and just -- just say goodbye ? will : bye , aunt donna ! katie : oh , god . hey ! hey , bud . will : hi , mom . thorne : how was the sleepover ? will : good . i made these for you guys . katie : oh ! thorne : thanks . katie : thank you . will : i made one for dad , too . what 's going on ? are you okay ? katie : yeah , we were just , um , talking about a few things . will : why do you guys seem so sad ? thorne : i was just telling your mom that i have to go away for a while . sally : this day did not disappoint . wyatt : i mean , it 's not over yet . we got plenty of time . sally : you know , i would n't be mad if you wanted to go out and surf . wyatt : me ?

[ scene_break ] kate : i 'm very sorry i was n't able to get by to visit you earlier . stephanie : oh , i 'm the one who should be apologizing . i know you and e.j .. lost a fortune when i wrecked the car . i am so sorry . i should have been able to maneuver away from max 's car when it exploded . kate : absolutely not . it was n't your responsibility . it was the fault of the person who 's trying to hurt your family . and frankly , after what happened to you and what happened to max , it 's pretty obvious that your family 's going to be in danger until the person 's caught . stephanie : i know . it 's really scary . kate : it is , and i 've been thinking , stephanie , that after you 're released from the hospital , it would really be best if you stay out of the public eye . stephanie : you mean no racing ? kate : well , if you 're racing , you 're pretty much a target in a shooting gallery . stephanie : but racing is my life , okay ? and besides , i have a contract with you and e.j . kate : oh , honey , i do n't want you to worry about that because today i brought by some papers , and they 're going to release you from any contractual obligations . chelsea : so , in other words , you 're dumping her ?

[ scene_break ] caroline : you worked a miracle for steve , doctor . when do you expect kayla to wake up ? dr. myers : i 'm not sure . caroline : well , they were exposed at the same time , and they were given the drug at the same time . dr. myers : but they 're not reacting the same way . kayla 's fever spiked again , and her breathing has become more labored . hope : but you said the medication was working for both of them . dr. myers : it was at first . but now , though steve seems to be recovering , kayla appears to be worsening . bo : appears to be or is ? dr. myers : it may not be her illness that is worsening . as you know , the drug we 've given her has n't been fully evaluated . there 's little data on what to expect . hope : why would it work for steve and not for kayla ? dr. myers : sometimes individuals respond differently to medications . bo : you sure you gave her the right amount ? dr. myers : we gave them the same dose . shawn : is n't there anything else you can do ? dr. myers : i 'm considering increasing kayla 's dosage , but that will raise her risk of negative effects from the medications . shawn : i do n't care . do whatever you have to do to save our daughter . caroline : yes , do it . [ scene_break ] kate : chelsea , i do n't know how many times i have to tell you that it 's not polite to enter a room without knocking first . chelsea : admit it , grandma . you 're dumping stephanie because after totaling her car and almost killing herself in the salem grand prix , you 've decided that , that 's not the type of p.r . your company wants to be associated with . kate : no , i do n't want stephanie driving because there 's a lunatic trying to hurt her family . there has been one attempt on her life already , and i do n't want to be responsible for another one . and since your father is a brady , i think you should be keeping a low profile , as well . stephanie : you know what ? you 're right , kate . i should stay out of the spotlight for a while . besides , it 's gon na take me some time to get back into racing shape , and i really want to spend a lot of time with my parents . kate : well , good . then it looks like this is really gon na be best for everyone . now , to keep the lawyers happy , though , i 'm going to need you to look these over and sign them . chelsea : you really do always win , do n't you ? kate : it 's not about winning or losing . it 's about what 's right for stephanie . i really think you 've made the right decision here . stephanie : yeah . kate : oh , you seem tired , hmm ? stephanie : i am . kate : i 'll tell you what -- we 're gon na get going , and we 're gon na let you get a little rest . chelsea : take care of yourself , coz . stephanie : thanks . kate : you take care . stephanie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] chelsea : i heard about her and max . it was all i could do to keep myself from gloating . but i mean , i guess that 's what you get for going after a guy that 's already taken , right ? even though i guess we should be on the same side since she wants her parents back together and i want my parents back together . kate : i do n't care . what the hell were you thinking in there , challenging me in front of stephanie ? chelsea : i 'm sorry . i just -- kate : you 're sorry . i thought we were on the same side , chelsea . chelsea : we are . look , sometimes things pop out of my mouth before i 've had a chance to think them through . kate : well , you need to watch your mouth if you 're going to get what you need from me or anyone else . chelsea : okay . kate : and by the way , your parents are still upset about that little escapade you played trying to get them back together again . chelsea : well , they 'll get over it . and then i 'll get what i want , just like you always do . kate : when i suggested that you use yourself to get your parents back together , i never suggested that you become a hooker to do it . chelsea : i did n't really . i mean , i just got arrested , which was the whole point -- to get my parents to work together to try to save me . kate : yeah , well , i wish you had talked to me about that little idea because i would have told you it was a bad one and that bo would never fall for it . and you 're very lucky that , that undercover detective found you before you really got into trouble . chelsea : i do n't care , okay ? i will do anything to get my parents back together . kate : chelsea , i know that i encouraged you in this , but i only did it because you were so damn determined . but i have to tell you the truth . i have tried absolutely everything -- and i mean everything -- to get them back together again , and i am finally accepting the fact that bo and billie are never going to be together as a couple . and you need to do the same thing . chelsea : you said that you would help me . you said that as long as i believed , i could get whatever i wanted . kate : that is not exactly what i said . and i know better than anyone that you do n't always get what you want in this life . chelsea : oh , no kidding . god , you know , i thought that if i could n't trust or count on anybody or anything in my life , i could at least count on you . kate : you can count on me , and that 's exactly why i 'm talking to you like this . i love you . i love you , and you need to focus . and you need to get on with your life . chelsea : what life ? kate : chelsea -- chelsea : no , please tell me because i would love to know . let 's see . my boyfriend broke up with me , and then i had to drop out of college so i could be on trial . and then i had to lose my job at titan because i had to do this stupid community service . and let 's not forget that my parents who raised me , they 're dead . and everybody keeps telling me what a lousy job they 've been doing . and my parents that are supposed to love me no matter what , they hate me . kate : billie and bo do n't hate you . chelsea : and you do , too . kate : i love you . chelsea : oh , please . you just reamed me out over something completely petty . you know what ? at least the benson 's never yelled at me . kate : yes , and i think perhaps that was the problem . chelsea : you know what ? out of everybody in my life , i thought that you were the one person that understood me . but i guess i was wrong . i just -- i really do n't know what to do . i just do n't feel like i belong anywhere . and i changed my last name to brady , but that 's not gon na make them accept me . nothing will unless ... i have to get my parents to love each other or else -- i 'm just afraid no one ever will love me . [ scene_break ] mimi : no , max , i 'm not taking any charity . max : it 's not charity . abby 's swamped , and i need to hire another person to do part - time bookkeeping . i 'd do it myself , but when it comes to that stuff , i 'm clueless . and i 'm terrified of what 'll happen if i get audited . mimi : well , if there 's one thing my mother taught me , it 's how to play with numbers . max : so is that a deal ? mimi : yeah , you 've got yourself a new employee . max : great , great , okay . but whatever your mom taught you , i kind of want my books to be legit . mimi : well , now you 're taking all the fun out of it . max : i 'm serious . mimi : well , i 'm kidding . now , about the benefits -- frankie : max ! hey , phone call . steve 's regained consciousness , okay ? but kayla -- she 's getting worse . we got to go . come on . max : okay . [ scene_break ] billie : when i heard what happened to you , i was afraid i was gon na lose you before we ever had a chance -- steve : you 're not gon na lose me . you 're not . listen ... but even if i do n't make it -- billie : do n't say that . do n't say that . steve : listen ... even if i do n't make it , i got the chance right now to tell you how much you mean to me . billie : nothing is going to go wrong . steve : you know ... all those years i ca n't remember -- you 're the only person who does n't hate me for that . you know ... you know how i feel about you , right ? billie : i feel the same way , only i was afraid to say it because -- because you 'd remember kayla and you 'd go back to her and i 'd get my heart broken again . i want the steve you are now , not the memory of who you used to be . and i 'm gon na be here until you get better . [ scene_break ] max : so , the doctors do n't have any idea what they 're gon na do next ? caroline : kayla has come out of a coma before . she 's been through many things , and she will survive this . shawn : you 're right . we 'll all just have to have faith . caroline : and keep praying . frankie : has anyone told stephanie the latest ? hope : actually , we were just on our way to see her . want to come ? frankie : yeah . bo : why do n't you guys go ahead ? i got to talk to max for a second . [ scene_break ] max : what 's up ? bo : well , i heard that you and my son had a little disagreement about mimi and you fired him . max : look , mimi 's my friend . bo : yeah . max : okay ? and yes , she broke shawn 's heart , and he has every reason to be angry with her . but look , he crossed a line this time with her and with me . he acted like a total jerk , and this is n't the first time , bo . bo : yeah , yeah , yeah , i know . it kind of runs in the family , as you know .. max : yeah . bo : i spoke to him , and apparently belle blasted him pretty good , too -- said if he did n't get his act together that he could forget about being part of his daughter 's life . max : maybe that finally got his attention . bo : yeah , i think it did . and he 's determined to put his life back together . that 's why i 'm talking to you . max : you want me to give him his job back , do n't you ? bo : yeah , not just for him , but for his daughter -- you know , so she can grow up knowing her father . [ scene_break ] abby : here are the books . good luck filling in the blanks because this is all i could find . max is the nicest guy in the world , but when it comes to paperwork , he 's really unorganized . mimi : but you like working for him . abby : absolutely . mimi : after what i did , i did n't think anyone in salem would ever talk to me again . i mean , i guess there are some people who wo n't , but out of the blue , someone i barely know steps in and actually believes in me . it makes me want to work harder and be a better person , you know ?

[ scene_break ] willow : maybe it would be better if i waited out here . for luck . shawn d. : thanks . willow : whatever max says , just stay calm . and remember , this apology is n't for him . it 's about getting to see your kid . shawn d. : right .

[ scene_break ] max : shawn is a hell of a mechanic , but he does have a hell of a temper . bo : yeah , yeah , that he does . max : especially when it comes to mimi . bo : well , she did kind of kick his guts out . max : she made a mistake -- something that he should understand . bo : you 're right . he should . max : mm - hmm . bo : but like mimi , he deserves a second chance , and he 's your nephew . and like you said , he 's a hell of a mechanic . so , i do n't think him working things out with mimi really should affect your giving him his job back . max : well , actually , it kind of does . bo : why ? max : i hired mimi part time as a bookkeeper . and there 's no way i 'm turning my garage into a war zone . so , if he wants his job back , shawn has to promise that he will find a way to get along with her . bo : fair enough . max : okay . and if he can promise to do that , then i 'll talk to him . bo : cool . i owe you one . max : well , let 's go find out what 's going on with kayla , and then after that , i 'll find shawn , and we 'll see if we can come to an agreement . bo : i 'm sure you can 'cause he wants that job . max : yeah .

[ scene_break ] dr. myers : i do n't believe this . bo : hey , steve , can you hear me ? great , man . do you know what happened to you ? you went into this exam room to rescue kayla . while you were in there , someone released this poisonous biotoxin through the vents . and you and kay , you 've been unconscious and quarantined ever since . steve : dr. myers ? bo : they could n't find a drug to help you out , so frankie , he phoned a buddy of his at the fda . they 've got this experimental drug , and apparently it 's working . we 've all been here for you , man -- mom , pop , hope , roman . frankie and max were here and shawn and billie . [ scene_break ] abby : frankie , look , max would never turn his back on his family . frankie : okay , so why is he taking mimi 's side against his own nephew ? abby : well , shawn pretty much acted like a jerk . frankie : uh - huh . you know , news flash -- my brother 's not a saint . abby : i know a lot of people just think that he 's some playboy race car driver out for himself , but he 's not . he 's -- he 's a really caring person , and you should know that . frankie : you like my brother , do n't you ? abby : no , he 's my friend and my boss . frankie : and ? abby : and that 's it . frankie : [ laughs ] uh - huh .

[ scene_break ] patrick : [ sighs ] it wo n't be easy to find a courier , especially since the police are onto us . e.j . : you leave that to me . your next part in this phase will be much more interesting . in fact , it could even be fun for you . patrick : huh . as fun as making sami think her son was kidnaped ? e.j . : [ chuckles ] your mission , mr. lockhart -- and you have no choice but to accept it -- is to use bo 's disgruntled daughter , chelsea , to keep tabs on him . patrick : that 's not a good idea . e.j . : it 's an excellent idea , okay ? you live with her . she could be an invaluable source of information . patrick : yeah , well , she 's trouble -- almost as much as her father . e.j . : i do n't care . get it done . [ scene_break ] kate : i 'm very sorry i was n't able to get by to visit you earlier . stephanie : oh , i 'm the one who should be apologizing . i know you and e.j .. lost a fortune when i wrecked the car . i am so sorry . i should have been able to maneuver away from max 's car when it exploded . kate : absolutely not . it was n't your responsibility . it was the fault of the person who 's trying to hurt your family . and frankly , after what happened to you and what happened to max , it 's pretty obvious that your family 's going to be in danger until the person 's caught . stephanie : i know . it 's really scary . kate : it is , and i 've been thinking , stephanie , that after you 're released from the hospital , it would really be best if you stay out of the public eye . stephanie : you mean no racing ? kate : well , if you 're racing , you 're pretty much a target in a shooting gallery . stephanie : but racing is my life , okay ? and besides , i have a contract with you and e.j . kate : oh , honey , i do n't want you to worry about that because today i brought by some papers , and they 're going to release you from any contractual obligations . chelsea : so , in other words , you 're dumping her ? [ scene_break ] billie : hey . long time no see . dr. myers : excuse me . i 'd like to talk to the family a moment . bo : why do n't we go out in the corridor ? shawn : good idea . [ scene_break ] nurse : mr. johnson , what are you doing ? steve : just give -- i 'm okay . just give me a minute . give me a minute . stephanie . stephanie . billie : push the button . steve : stephanie ! is she safe ? billie : yes , yes , she is . steve : oh , thank -- thank god . i ca n't -- i ca n't believe you 're the first person i see when i wake up . thank you . [ scene_break ] caroline : you worked a miracle for steve , doctor . when do you expect kayla to wake up ? dr. myers : i 'm not sure . caroline : well , they were exposed at the same time , and they were given the drug at the same time . dr. myers : but they 're not reacting the same way . kayla 's fever spiked again , and her breathing has become more labored . hope : but you said the medication was working for both of them . dr. myers : it was at first . but now , though steve seems to be recovering , kayla appears to be worsening . bo : appears to be or is ? dr. myers : it may not be her illness that is worsening . as you know , the drug we 've given her has n't been fully evaluated . there 's little data on what to expect . hope : why would it work for steve and not for kayla ? dr. myers : sometimes individuals respond differently to medications . bo : you sure you gave her the right amount ? dr. myers : we gave them the same dose . shawn : is n't there anything else you can do ? dr. myers : i 'm considering increasing kayla 's dosage , but that will raise her risk of negative effects from the medications . shawn : i do n't care . do whatever you have to do to save our daughter . caroline : yes , do it . [ scene_break ] kate : chelsea , i do n't know how many times i have to tell you that it 's not polite to enter a room without knocking first . chelsea : admit it , grandma . you 're dumping stephanie because after totaling her car and almost killing herself in the salem grand prix , you 've decided that , that 's not the type of p.r . your company wants to be associated with . kate : no , i do n't want stephanie driving because there 's a lunatic trying to hurt her family . there has been one attempt on her life already , and i do n't want to be responsible for another one . and since your father is a brady , i think you should be keeping a low profile , as well . stephanie : you know what ? you 're right , kate . i should stay out of the spotlight for a while . besides , it 's gon na take me some time to get back into racing shape , and i really want to spend a lot of time with my parents . kate : well , good . then it looks like this is really gon na be best for everyone . now , to keep the lawyers happy , though , i 'm going to need you to look these over and sign them . chelsea : you really do always win , do n't you ? kate : it 's not about winning or losing . it 's about what 's right for stephanie . i really think you 've made the right decision here . stephanie : yeah . kate : oh , you seem tired , hmm ? stephanie : i am . kate : i 'll tell you what -- we 're gon na get going , and we 're gon na let you get a little rest . chelsea : take care of yourself , coz . stephanie : thanks . kate : you take care . stephanie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] chelsea : i heard about her and max . it was all i could do to keep myself from gloating . but i mean , i guess that 's what you get for going after a guy that 's already taken , right ? even though i guess we should be on the same side since she wants her parents back together and i want my parents back together . kate : i do n't care . what the hell were you thinking in there , challenging me in front of stephanie ? chelsea : i 'm sorry . i just -- kate : you 're sorry . i thought we were on the same side , chelsea . chelsea : we are . look , sometimes things pop out of my mouth before i 've had a chance to think them through . kate : well , you need to watch your mouth if you 're going to get what you need from me or anyone else . chelsea : okay . kate : and by the way , your parents are still upset about that little escapade you played trying to get them back together again . chelsea : well , they 'll get over it . and then i 'll get what i want , just like you always do . kate : when i suggested that you use yourself to get your parents back together , i never suggested that you become a hooker to do it . chelsea : i did n't really . i mean , i just got arrested , which was the whole point -- to get my parents to work together to try to save me . kate : yeah , well , i wish you had talked to me about that little idea because i would have told you it was a bad one and that bo would never fall for it . and you 're very lucky that , that undercover detective found you before you really got into trouble . chelsea : i do n't care , okay ? i will do anything to get my parents back together . kate : chelsea , i know that i encouraged you in this , but i only did it because you were so damn determined . but i have to tell you the truth . i have tried absolutely everything -- and i mean everything -- to get them back together again , and i am finally accepting the fact that bo and billie are never going to be together as a couple . and you need to do the same thing . chelsea : you said that you would help me . you said that as long as i believed , i could get whatever i wanted . kate : that is not exactly what i said . and i know better than anyone that you do n't always get what you want in this life . chelsea : oh , no kidding . god , you know , i thought that if i could n't trust or count on anybody or anything in my life , i could at least count on you . kate : you can count on me , and that 's exactly why i 'm talking to you like this . i love you . i love you , and you need to focus . and you need to get on with your life . chelsea : what life ? kate : chelsea -- chelsea : no , please tell me because i would love to know . let 's see . my boyfriend broke up with me , and then i had to drop out of college so i could be on trial . and then i had to lose my job at titan because i had to do this stupid community service . and let 's not forget that my parents who raised me , they 're dead . and everybody keeps telling me what a lousy job they 've been doing . and my parents that are supposed to love me no matter what , they hate me . kate : billie and bo do n't hate you . chelsea : and you do , too . kate : i love you . chelsea : oh , please . you just reamed me out over something completely petty . you know what ? at least the benson 's never yelled at me . kate : yes , and i think perhaps that was the problem . chelsea : you know what ? out of everybody in my life , i thought that you were the one person that understood me . but i guess i was wrong . i just -- i really do n't know what to do . i just do n't feel like i belong anywhere . and i changed my last name to brady , but that 's not gon na make them accept me . nothing will unless ... i have to get my parents to love each other or else -- i 'm just afraid no one ever will love me . [ scene_break ] mimi : no , max , i 'm not taking any charity . max : it 's not charity . abby 's swamped , and i need to hire another person to do part - time bookkeeping . i 'd do it myself , but when it comes to that stuff , i 'm clueless . and i 'm terrified of what 'll happen if i get audited . mimi : well , if there 's one thing my mother taught me , it 's how to play with numbers . max : so is that a deal ? mimi : yeah , you 've got yourself a new employee . max : great , great , okay . but whatever your mom taught you , i kind of want my books to be legit . mimi : well , now you 're taking all the fun out of it . max : i 'm serious . mimi : well , i 'm kidding . now , about the benefits -- frankie : max ! hey , phone call . steve 's regained consciousness , okay ? but kayla -- she 's getting worse . we got to go . come on . max : okay . [ scene_break ] billie : when i heard what happened to you , i was afraid i was gon na lose you before we ever had a chance -- steve : you 're not gon na lose me . you 're not . listen ... but even if i do n't make it -- billie : do n't say that . do n't say that . steve : listen ... even if i do n't make it , i got the chance right now to tell you how much you mean to me . billie : nothing is going to go wrong . steve : you know ... all those years i ca n't remember -- you 're the only person who does n't hate me for that . you know ... you know how i feel about you , right ? billie : i feel the same way , only i was afraid to say it because -- because you 'd remember kayla and you 'd go back to her and i 'd get my heart broken again . i want the steve you are now , not the memory of who you used to be . and i 'm gon na be here until you get better . [ scene_break ] max : so , the doctors do n't have any idea what they 're gon na do next ? caroline : kayla has come out of a coma before . she 's been through many things , and she will survive this . shawn : you 're right . we 'll all just have to have faith . caroline : and keep praying . frankie : has anyone told stephanie the latest ? hope : actually , we were just on our way to see her . want to come ? frankie : yeah . bo : why do n't you guys go ahead ? i got to talk to max for a second . [ scene_break ] max : what 's up ? bo : well , i heard that you and my son had a little disagreement about mimi and you fired him . max : look , mimi 's my friend . bo : yeah . max : okay ? and yes , she broke shawn 's heart , and he has every reason to be angry with her . but look , he crossed a line this time with her and with me . he acted like a total jerk , and this is n't the first time , bo . bo : yeah , yeah , yeah , i know . it kind of runs in the family , as you know .. max : yeah . bo : i spoke to him , and apparently belle blasted him pretty good , too -- said if he did n't get his act together that he could forget about being part of his daughter 's life . max : maybe that finally got his attention . bo : yeah , i think it did . and he 's determined to put his life back together . that 's why i 'm talking to you . max : you want me to give him his job back , do n't you ? bo : yeah , not just for him , but for his daughter -- you know , so she can grow up knowing her father . [ scene_break ] abby : here are the books . good luck filling in the blanks because this is all i could find . max is the nicest guy in the world , but when it comes to paperwork , he 's really unorganized . mimi : but you like working for him . abby : absolutely . mimi : after what i did , i did n't think anyone in salem would ever talk to me again . i mean , i guess there are some people who wo n't , but out of the blue , someone i barely know steps in and actually believes in me . it makes me want to work harder and be a better person , you know ? [ laughter ] abby : i think someone 's here . [ scene_break ] willow : maybe it would be better if i waited out here . for luck . shawn d. : thanks . willow : whatever max says , just stay calm . and remember , this apology is n't for him . it 's about getting to see your kid . shawn d. : right . [ scene_break ] abby : shawn , i thought you were a customer . shawn d. : abby , is max around ? abby : no , your dad called . aunt kayla took a turn for the worse , so max and frankie went to the hospital . shawn d. : oh , i got to get back . i got to see what 's going on . abby : do you want to leave max a message ? shawn d. : yeah , sure . i need you to tell him that i feel really bad about what went down yesterday , and i want to apologize . abby : do n't tell him i told you , but he feels the same way . mimi : hey , abby , i ca n't figure out if these are ... [ scene_break ] max : shawn is a hell of a mechanic , but he does have a hell of a temper . bo : yeah , yeah , that he does . max : especially when it comes to mimi . bo : well , she did kind of kick his guts out . max : she made a mistake -- something that he should understand . bo : you 're right . he should . max : mm - hmm . bo : but like mimi , he deserves a second chance , and he 's your nephew . and like you said , he 's a hell of a mechanic . so , i do n't think him working things out with mimi really should affect your giving him his job back . max : well , actually , it kind of does . bo : why ? max : i hired mimi part time as a bookkeeper . and there 's no way i 'm turning my garage into a war zone . so , if he wants his job back , shawn has to promise that he will find a way to get along with her . bo : fair enough . max : okay . and if he can promise to do that , then i 'll talk to him . bo : cool . i owe you one . max : well , let 's go find out what 's going on with kayla , and then after that , i 'll find shawn , and we 'll see if we can come to an agreement . bo : i 'm sure you can 'cause he wants that job . max : yeah . [ scene_break ] mimi : hi . shawn d. : abby , tell max that i 'll stop by again later when it 's not so crowded . mimi : shawn ! shawn d. : see you around , abby . mimi : shawn ! is it going to kill you to act like a grown - up about all this ? shawn d. : i came here to see max , not my ex - wife . what are you doing hanging around here anyways ? mimi : first of all , i 'm not your ex - wife -- not yet , at least . and second of all , you better get used to finding me here because max gave me a job . [ scene_break ] caroline : i do n't think we should leave stephanie . shawn : frankie 's with her . caroline : well , she 's so upset about the news . billie : what do you mean ? steve 's gon na be okay . hope : what about kayla ? billie : i do n't get it . if the drug worked for steve , why would n't it work for kayla ? hope : dr. myers does n't know . he does n't know if she 's going to make it . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : i do n't believe this . max fires me because of you . now he hires you to work here ? what the hell did you do to talk him into that ? mimi : he offered me the job without me even asking . shawn d. : oh , i bet he did . abby : shawn , she 's telling the truth . max told me this morning that he wanted to hire a part - time bookkeeper . she just happened to check on her car at the right time . mimi : yeah , if you had fixed it when you said you would , maybe i would n't have to work two jobs just to pay the repair bill . shawn d. : you know what , abby ? watch your back . do n't ever think she 's your friend . do n't ever think that you can trust her . [ scene_break ] willow : i heard yelling . is everything all right ? shawn d. : yeah , once we get the hell out of here . mimi : hey , willow , if you really care about my husband -- if he is n't just another john -- then maybe you could tell him to stop acting like a total jackass ! shawn d. : damn it , mimi . willow : come on , shawn . let 's get out of here . this is n't helping anyone .. mimi : ugh ! my god ! abby : you all right ? mimi : yeah , i just ca n't believe how much he hates me .

phillip : well , i am the brother of the groom . alan : what about her ? olivia : she 's the dutiful wife . get over it . alan : duty and custom have often given way to grudges in this family . phillip : yes . well , seething hatreds aside , this evening the spauldings are at least going to appear as a unified front . alan : i hope so . olivia : okay , here 's your chance . no one 's going to know that i 'm not even there , so why do n't you just go it alone ? phillip : no . i want you there . olivia : no , that 's just a masochistic impulse . just stick your head between your knees and breathe . it 'll pass . phillip : no . it 's a family event . and to be honest with you , since we 've cast aside all pretense and we 're now despising each other freely , i do n't know , it 's funny , but i mind it less . olivia : oh . i 'm feeling a warm glow . phillip : you should give it a try . might do wonders for you . olivia : oh , i doubt it . buzz : i was hoping we 'd have a moment alone together . i need to warn you about this mess with frank . alexandra : it 's awful . buzz : my son is innocent . alexandra : oh , i do n't doubt that . buzz : he 's also on the hunt for whoever set him up , and so am i . alexandra : oh , honestly , you do n't know anything about detective work . come on . how can ... buzz : it 's a lead i 'm helping him with . he 's got a gut feeling about someone . alexandra : oh , my . who 's the unlucky target ? buzz : you . frank : forget it . i will call back . thank you . darci : ross still is n't taking your call ? frank : you know what ? how much you guys want to bet the man 's probably standing right there in his office ? marina : ross would n't blow you off , dad . i 'm sure he 's just busy . frank : yeah , yeah . too busy to help his top cop beat these trumped - up charges , huh ? well , you know what ? does n't matter . forget it . i am completely fine . darci : are you sure , honey ? frank : absolutely . darci : you have to face the spauldings tonight . frank : i 'm fine , trust me . danny : come on , let 's just drop it , okay ? please ? michelle : not until you tell me what 's wrong . danny : there 's nothing wrong . i just was n't planning on seeing tony tonight , that 's all . michelle : you mean you did n't want to see tony . i just want to show him my tattoo . danny : oh . well , then , let 's get over there right away . michelle : wow , you guys had a fight , huh ? danny : no . you know ... michelle : about what ? danny : michelle , can we just get out of here before the spauldings and the coopers show up and start throwing punches and ... michelle : what did you and tony fight about , danny ? danny : it 's nothing . tony and i are always fighting . if it 's not one thing , it 's something else . it does n't matter . michelle : yeah ? danny : yeah . michelle : well , it matters to me . harley : what do you think ? gus : i do n't think we can let this happen to frank . harley : i was talking about the dress . gus : it 's nice . they 've practically got him tried and convicted here before they 've gotten started . harley : i 've been avoiding reading anything . gus : yeah . i 'm not going to quit , you know , until i help clear his name . harley : we all want frank to be exonerated . but for tonight , the spauldings and the coopers are going to put aside their differences . tonight we 'll be on the same side . cassie : oh , gosh . the lights of venice , they 're so beautiful . they have to be the most beautiful . edmund : well , i think paris might have something to say about that . but they 're beautiful . yes , they are . just as you will be at this evening 's gala charity auction . cassie : oh , gosh . it 's been so long since i 've done something like this . but phony cassie sure has been making the circuit . edmund : well , cassie , it 's like riding a bike , just in a very expensive gown . cassie : mmm . and we 'll have to get back quick , you know . we have to get back in time for harley 's wedding . edmund : what about my surprise for you ? you do n't want to see it ? cassie : well , what do you think ? come on . what are you smiling about ? edmund : you must choose something to wear . cassie : oh , my , edmund ... edmund : usually the lights go out when i do that , but then the makeup artist could n't see what we was doing . i know , i know , i know , i know . i 'm far too much . but you are going to be the belle of the ball . dinah : `` for her royal highness princess cassandra winslow . the honor of your presence is requested ... `` blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah . of course it is . this portion of `` guiding light `` is sponsored by luvs . live and learn , and then get luvs . cassie : can you give us a minute , please ? edmund : thank you . you did n't like my surprise ? cassie : no , that 's not it . that 's not it . it 's just that , you know , yesterday we were hanging out at the farm , and now there 's all this pampering going on . edmund : all of which you richly deserve . cassie : you just said that i ... you 're making this up as you go along , are n't you ? edmund : out of whole cloth . yes , i am . cassie : just as long as we 're clear why i 'm even doing this . edmund : because you 're a girl out looking for a good time . cassie : well , i 'm also hoping to get a look at the high life this impostor has been living as me . and this auction is just the type of event that she 'd go to . edmund : yes , it is . and with any luck , she 's lost somewhere in the balkans . but cassie , i have to admit , i have an agenda here . cassie : pamper me silly ? edmund : yes . yes , that , and i want to show venetian society how it 's done when it 's done very well . and if this impostor shows her face , we 'll tease her for a bit and then call in the authorities . cassie : if i do n't tear her apart myself . dinah : yes , good evening . how sweet of you to think of me , but i am otherwise engaged for this evening . the charity auction for the international museum of modern art . with the royal family of denmark attending , yes . it sounds absolutely wonderful , but i can't . well , reputation is the currency of the realm , that is for sure . but i simply can not . i am so sorry . thank you , though , for thinking of me . and please give my apologies to the royal family on my behalf . very good . another time . cheers . okay . oh , my gosh , so much do to , so little time . all right . alexandra : frank still suspects me ? buzz : afraid so . alexandra : me and drugs ? come on . it 's so ludicrous . buzz : well , you know , frank 's a cop with a case that has loose ends . and frank 's going to think what frank 's going to think . alexandra : oh , come ... why involve me ? i 've answered every one of his questions . buzz : i 'm telling you this because i think it 's better for you to know . i have a different take on it , and i 'm betting that time is going to prove me right . alexandra : what 's your theory ? buzz : this is about revenge , and the one guy that wants to get frank in spades is a man that he put behind bars . alexandra : vinnie salerno . buzz : frank helped bring down his horrible organization . he 's got one of his girls . salerno 's probably stewing right now over the fact that darci can put him away for a long time . alexandra : yes . well , she certainly could have him over a barrel . buzz : yeah . i think that salerno got frank kicked off the force as sort of a last major play . alexandra : well , can you convince your son of that ? buzz : i 'm sorry he 's got you in his crosshairs . i did n't want to dump this on you tonight . but you know , we 're going to be celebrating with the whole cooper family . alexandra : yeah . no , no . actually , i 'm glad you told me , because if frank 's going to give me dirty looks across the room , at least i 'll know why . all right , i 'll do my best to put all this messy business behind us for tonight . buzz : yeah . gus and harley deserve our undivided attention . after all , they closed the gap between the two families . alexandra : oh , well , i thought you and i did that . buzz : well , we certainly forged a trail . gus : listen . you know , your family means just as much to me as my own . in fact , if i had to make a choice ... harley : you wo n't have to make a choice . gus : but frank had a raw deal here . he just got a raw deal . i do n't want his job . i just want to help clear him in this whole thing . harley : honey , do n't feel bad for stepping in for frank . okay , next to him you 're the highest - ranking guy on the force . he understands . gus : yeah , well , he should n't have to . harley : but he does . everybody understands . we trust that you will do your best . i trust you . gus : should we go ? harley : this is a miserable time , okay ? but just for tonight , can we ... can we forget about all that stuff , and we could just ... can we just think about how great it 's going to be to walk down the aisle and become man and wife ? can we focus on having fun ? gus : yes , yes . let 's do that . that 's ... we should do that . harley : let 's do that . and let 's just know that it will all work itself out after the wedding . gus : your brother 's neck is on the chopping block , and you 're consoling me . is that a little backwards ? harley : that 's what we do , right ? you need some reassuring , we do that for each other . gus : yeah . harley : man and wife . gus : yeah . ( phone rings ) harley : i 'm going to get that . you go start the car . i 'll be right out . gus : all right . ( phone rings ) harley : hello ? darci : harley , it 's darci . harley : hey , darci . what 's up ? darci : i want to give you a heads - up . things are not going well for frank tonight . harley : more bad news ? darci : no , thank god , but i think this whole situation is starting to wear on him . i 'm worried about tonight . frank : hey , sisarini . i do n't know what darci told you , but i am completely fine . harley : frank ... frank : i am fine . i am totally fine , and i 'd just like to know when my sister 's going to get here . come on . harley : i think i know you a little bit better than that . frank : little sister , tonight is your night , and i 'm not going to let any of my little problems ruin it , i promise you . harley : frank , i know how tough this is for you . frank : hey , whoever said life 's supposed to be easy anyway ? harley : i 'm just saying that if i knew for sure that alan or alex were behind this , they would n't be getting out of there alive . frank : yeah . well , we do n't know that yet . harley : but in the meantime , i know how tough it 's going to be for you being in the same room as them . frank : hey , did n't you just hear a word i said ? i told you i 'm completely fine . so listen -- end of discussion . just get your little heiney over here now . i love you . gus : everything okay ? harley : i hope so . buzz : well , the gang 's all here . both gangs , actually . i trust we 've left our lethal weapons behind us . alan : yes , but not our sharp tongues . buzz : oh , let 's see if we can hold that in check . i want to officially welcome the spaulding clan . thank you for joining us tonight . phillip : anything for a good cause . buzz : does n't get any better than this , does it ? frank : i 'll drink to that . alan : frank , how are you ? frank : oh , i 've been better , but thanks for asking . darci : mr. spaulding , so happy that you could join us tonight . marina : here 's your lemonade , fresh - squeezed . alan : oh . well , where is the happy couple ? marina : fashionably late . alan : oh , i see . gus : hey ! harley : we 're here . buzz : well , i 'm officially appointing myself bartender for this evening . libations all around . there will be a lot of toasts , you know . there 'll be dinner in a while , and things . would you see if something 's burning in the kitchen while i try to loosen these stiffs up ? marina : sure . frank : all right , poparino , me first . i 'm empty . buzz : frank , i think you 've had enough . frank : it 's a party . buzz : give it a break , frank . frank : i do n't feel like giving it a break . buzz : i know you 're upset . you have every right to be . but tonight is not about you . frank : tonight 's about harley and gus . buzz : frank , it 's about all of us . i know how you feel about alan and alex , you know . and drinking the night away may seem to you a perfect way to keep yourself from punching their lights out . but think about your sister , her happiness . and frank , there 's no way i 'm going to let you ruin this night , no matter what you 've been through . gus : so how are you , mrs . godfrey ? alexandra : oh , all right . i 'm going to let that godfrey remark slide , because i want to tell you that i think you 're doing the absolute right thing by not telling harley anything . gus : anything about what ? alexandra : oh , honestly . do we have to play this game ? gus : well , do we know any other game to play ? i do n't think so . alexandra : when you left me , i did n't know what you were going to do . you made me quite nervous . gus : well , i did n't know exactly what i was going to do . alexandra : well , do you know now ? gus : yes . i 'm going to keep on lying like the lying spaulding that i am . but i do want you to know i have limits . ray : like i said , man , i am no shrink , but there 's no reason to jump to conclusions over some dream . tony : it was about michelle , ray . ray : sometimes dreams are whatever 's left bouncing around your head at the end of the day . tony : i do n't want to have it again . ray : i ca n't help you with that , t . tony : i know . you know what ? forget it . i 'm sorry . i should n't have brought it up . forget i even mentioned it . it 's not that big of a deal . ray : it 's okay . i do n't want to preach to you , tony . tony : that 's your job , ray , huh ? ray : it 's never done any good . you 've never been too receptive . look , in my opinion , i think this dream means that you 're uncertain about things with michelle . look , man , that 's understandable . we all are . it does n't mean you want her . tony : that 's kind of what it felt like , ray . ray : it ... look , it could be that you want to protect her , help her . tony : i do . that 's what i 'm trying to do , all right ? i just ... i do n't know , man . i think that danny may be right . if she just comes back , remembers everything , everything 's going to be all right . ray : tony , that is not going to happen . michelle 's changed . good or bad , we do n't know . we know we love her , right ? tony : yeah . ray : we want her to live her life as best she can under the circumstances . tony : it 's all god 's will , right ? ray : i think so . she 's not going to be going back to being the old michelle . right now our job is to help her along , deal with her as she is now . tony : what about the dream , ray ? ray : there 's no harm done as long as you do n't feel like you need to act on it . michelle : tony santos . it 's time we got something settled between us . cassie : wow . it 's been a while since i 've been to one of these . look at all these people . edmund : and you , my dear , are drawing every eye in the room . cassie ? cassie ? cassie : hmm ? edmund : take a breath . and it 's customary to be announced before we enter the room . shall we ? cassie : no , no , no , no . there 's some slight chance that the impostor princess cassie is here . we do n't want to scare her off . edmund : oh , good point . all right . well , it 's a silent auction . items are magnificent . no one needs to know we 're here . and if i remember correctly , the view of st . mark 's square is beautiful from this balcony . shall we ? cassie : i have n't had a chance to thank you . edmund : for what ? cassie : for helping me feel like a princess , and not thinking i 'm crazy . edmund : cassie , you are the most beautiful woman in this room , and there is nothing i could do or say to make you more of a princess than you 've been your whole life . now , as for being crazy ... herald : ladies and gentlemen , her royal highness princess cassandra winslow . ( applause ) dinah : well , it looks like everyone 's here this evening . how divine . prince : well , the party had n't started until you arrived . dinah : oh , i like you . cassie : wow , it 's so beautiful . edmund : events like this can be just the beginning if you 'd like , cassie . cassie : we 'll see . i must have left my purse inside . i 'll be right back . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... frank : i promise you no one 's going to get hurt here -- no one who does n't deserve to . i liked it . i liked it . i did . edmund : here it is , darling . you set it down right over there . cassie : what would i do without you ? edmund : well , hurling yourself into the danube has become quite fashionable . cassie : oh . prince : i want to show you something very special . dinah : okay . i 'm all yours , for now . cassie : let 's check out the goods . edmund : all right . what do we have here ? my , oh my , oh my . i 've seen this in pictures , but i never thought it would be available to the public . cassie : a knife ? edmund : cassie , this is a 16th century dagger from the old globe theater . probably used by shakespeare himself . cassie : wow . edmund : yeah . i saw it in a book when i was nine years old , and i think i 've been in love with it ever since . cassie : you should bid on it . edmund : no , this is far too rich for my blood . i think i 'm just torturing myself looking at it . so let 's move on down the line , shall we ? cassie : you know what ? this place is like a fairy tale . it 's exactly the kind of event that the woman who is pretending to be me would show up to . edmund : well , try to keep your anger in check , and have a good time , all right ? cassie : i 'm going to have fun whether she 's here or not . edmund : good . dinah : this is gorgeous . i 've been looking for a piece just like this . prince : it 's as beautiful as you are . place a bid . cassie : why do n't you find us some champagne , and i 'll meet you back here . edmund : all right . do n't be long . the auction 's about to begin . cassie : excuse me . i would like to place a bid on the shakespearean dagger . auctioneer : certainly , madam . cassie : thank you . edmund : oh , i 'm terribly sorry . let me get that for you . here you are . dinah : klutz . thank you . tony : all right , what did i do ? michelle : i 'm just saying i 've got a bone to pick with you , that 's all . ray : do you need any spiritual mediation ? michelle : i think i 've got it covered , padre . ray : okay . well , bro , i 'm going to take off . tony : okay . ray : michelle , you look wonderful . michelle : thanks . thanks . i feel really good . and i know if my memory does n't come back , i 'm on the right path . ray : that 's good . i 'd like to hear about it . stop by the church sometime . we 'll talk . i 've got a lot of people praying for you . michelle : thank you . that means a lot . ray : okay . guys , i love you guys . dinah : see you soon . tony : okay . so you come barging in here like cops with a warrant . what 's the deal ? what 's going on ? michelle : well , i 'll make it short . do n't be such a punk . tony : all right . well , that 's kind of funny , because my horoscope said the same thing today . michelle : you and danny had a fight , right ? tony : well , michelle , we do that sometimes . michelle : yeah . well , not with me around , you do n't , okay ? i already told danny to cut it out . he would n't tell me what happened , but i think we need to settle this right here and right now . tony : well , michelle , i 'm sure whatever it was it was my fault . danny : it usually is . michelle : oh , okay , okay . i see . this is how it works . everyone 's all buddy- buddy here . no one 's talking . tony : well , there 's nothing to worry about . it 's okay . michelle : you know , i do n't believe you , but whatever . the real reason i came , ta - dah ! what do you think , huh ? how cool is that ? phillip : now , they look happy . olivia : i remember happy . phillip : do you ? olivia : no , not really . phillip : i 'm happy . this arrangement is actually working out quite well for me . olivia : i 'm so glad . phillip : listen , it does n't have to be horrible for you . just use it . accept that you 're doing what 's best for emma . olivia : with a guillotine blade hanging over my head . phillip : i did n't say it was perfect . olivia : do n't you miss it , having something real ? phillip : i had that with beth , and with harley in a different way . olivia : but is n't that what we should be wishing for , instead of what we 've got ? phillip : i 'd say we 've both had our chances . frank : hey , great party , huh ? harley : stop . you do n't have to pretend . it 's me . frank : what are you talking ? i 'm not pretending anything here . look , we 've got great food , we 're having good quality family time . harley : stop pretending . you 're not even good at it . are you drunk ? frank : i 'm fine . go have fun . come on . harley : you 're not fine . you 're like a bomb with a smoldering fuse . see , if brad green had just told us who he was working with before he died we could crack this thing wide open , and we could get you off . if he 'd said something more substantial than just `` god free . `` frank : yeah , well , you know what ? he didn't . you know , deathbeds are n't the only place you can drag a confession out of someone . you know what ? i 'm sorry . that was ... let 's just forget this , okay ? i 'm fine . you go have some fun , okay ? harley : i do n't think you 're capable of being fine tonight . frank : really ? have i ever let you down ? harley : no , never . frank : well , you know what ? it 's not going to happen tonight . have fun . well , i think we can slip out of here now without anybody noticing . we 'll be doing them all a favor anyway . olivia : not exposing them to our cheery life , huh ? phillip : mm - hmm . olivia : yeah , you 're right . we 'd probably just jinx them anyway . come on . you know what just happened ? we actually agreed on something without harsh words or an attitude . phillip : do n't let it go to your head . olivia : oh , honey , i won't . let 's take separate cars . buzz : okay , i want to get the celebration on the road . first off i want to say what an honor it is to raise a glass to gus and harley tying the knot at last ! ( laughter ) harley : he finally succumbed to my charms . buzz : yeah . you know , i had -- well , how should we put this ? -- doubts about your future husband . frank : you never wanted him anywhere near her . buzz : okay . he used to get under my skin . what can i say ? marina : so , will we be getting to the happy part soon ? buzz : well , when we found out that he was actually your son , all the bets were off . alan : well , i was n't looking forward to spending a thanksgiving with you either , buzz . buzz : well , but that 's all blood under the bridge , is n't it ? tonight we celebrate the union of two amazing people , and the coming together of two , well , in their own ways , incredible families . but i guess what i really want to say is how much i love you , and how much i 've come to love your guy . as we all know ... and he 's shown us all what he 's made of . he is a man of integrity , honor , truth , and best of all , he loves my daughter better than anyone else in the world ever could . alan : thank you , buzz . as father of the groom , i would like to say a few words if i might . first of all , harley , i know that when you see a spaulding , your instinct is to run to the hills . frank : yeah , well , she 's got very good reason to . alan : but harley , we 're grateful that you decided to stick it out this time . harley : well , he may be a spaulding now , but i got to him first . alan : you know , i ca n't help but feel that this union of yours is a reward for all the hard times you two have been through together . it 's taken a lot of love and patience , and , well , macaroni and cheese . but i want you to know , harley , i 'll be very proud to call you a daughter - in - law . and i will be very happy to be associated with your wonderful family , the coopers . to the coopers . alan : and i 'm ... i know that my sister would like to say something . alexandra ? alexandra : actually , you know what ? i do n't think i can top that , really . alan : i 'm sure you can . please , go . frank : you know what ? i 'm not at a loss for words . do n't worry . i promise you no one 's going to get hurt here . no one who does n't deserve to . auctioneer : ladies and gentlemen , the bidding is now closed . a few winning bids of note . cassie : this should be good . auctioneer : the etruscan vase to bidder 15 for 10,000 euros . ( applause ) the 17th century sapphire brooch for 125,000 to bidder nine . ( applause ) the shakespearean dagger , 30,000 to bidder three . ( applause ) edmund : worth every penny and more . cassie : shoot . edmund : what ? cassie : well , i was , like , beat out by a lot . edmund : cassie , you didn't ... you put a bid in on the dagger ? cassie : yes . i wanted to surprise you . so surprise -- we lost . edmund : i ca n't believe you . you 're far too generous . cassie : i would be if we would have won . edmund : well , it 's the thought that counts . and you think about me far too much . thank you . cassie : you 're welcome . i 'm sick of the crab puffs . let 's get out of here . i hear there are some great italian restaurants in this town . edmund : no , that 's just a rumor . but you want to leave already ? cassie : well , the impostor is obviously not here , so i 'd like to go have some fun before we have to get back for harley 's wedding . edmund : sounds good to me . cassie : wait . edmund : what ? cassie : are n't you the least bit curious ? edmund : curious about what ? cassie : you 've been in love with that dagger since you were a child . do n't you want to know who beat us out ? edmund : no , it would only add to the misery . please , let 's go . cassie : oh , come on . excuse me . could you point out the winning bidder for the shakespearean dagger ? auctioneer : right over there . she was eager to attend another function , so i sent her to collect the piece . cassie : mmm . well , it 's a woman . maybe you can work your charm . let 's go find her . michelle : so then he asks me , like , you know , if i have a pattern or anything that i want , or if i looked at any books . and i said , `` well , yeah . i 've got something in mind . the symbol for ambition . `` so then he says , `` all right , turn around . show me the goods . `` danny : this just keeps getting better and better . michelle : he 's just mad because some other guy saw my good stuff . tony : to be honest with you , i would , too . i mean if i were danny . danny : okay . so are we done with this very exciting recap ?

because i thought he 'd be , you know , more impressed , being a tattoo connoisseur and all . danny : i do n't know . maybe you just took him by surprise . you know , you 've been doing that a lot lately . michelle : not the same homemaker / goody two shoes mommy doctor wife anymore ? danny : hey , you know , you were always a lot more than that . michelle : yeah ? danny : yeah . michelle : i 'm sorry that i dragged you all the way down here , but tony 's family , you know , and i kind of feel like he 's the only one who really gets me besides you , you know ? danny : yeah . no , you did n't drag me anywhere . i 'd follow you to the end of the world . i 'm stuck on you . michelle : you have got a habit of always saying the right thing , whether it 's corny or lovey - dovey . danny : hey , what was corny about that ? michelle : no , no , i liked it . i liked it . i did . frank : i would just like to say that the hot country below us has completely frozen over , and that pigs are flying high all over fifth street . buzz : frank ... frank : no . and you know why ? we 're all together . oh , man , who would have thought ? the coopers and the spauldings . hey , i hope no one here present is thinking about stabbing somebody in the back , because you know what ? you ca n't do it , because we 're all face to face here . you know what ?

gus : no , no , no , no . i 'll take care of it . stay here . he 's my best man , okay ? frank , listen to me . everybody 's sick about what 's happening to you , okay ? it 's not like we do n't know . buzz : frank , everybody 's going to do everything they can to fix it . but you 've got to let this go , at least until after the wedding . frank : i appreciate you sticking up for your girlfriend ... buzz : that 's enough , frank . i 'm sorry , but as bad as things are , this is not about you . so you either can it or go home . darci : harley , i 'm so sorry . frank is under a tremendous amount of stress lately . just do n't let it ruin your evening , okay ? everyone , i would like to make a toast to the bride . marina : yeah , let 's hear it for harley . darci : harley , you 're the best . you 're an incredible mom , sister , daughter , and a future sister - in - law . i 'm so excited . and now you 're going to make an incredible wife . gus is so lucky to have someone like you . you 're both lucky . anyway , i love you , and i wish you happiness , and i know that we are all looking forward to the big wedding day . alan : hear , hear . darci : oh , and alan , alan . i would like to toast to alan for all of your generosity . thank you very much . and to the ultimate wedding planner , the woman who has prepared all of the details for this big event . we all owe you so much , mrs . godfrey . harley : what did you say ? cassie : we lost her . i ca n't believe this . i can not leave here until i find out who got their hands on that dagger . edmund : well , that should n't be too difficult . i beg your pardon . auctioneer : yes , sir ? cassie : hi , we 're sorry to bother you , but we did n't catch the name of the person who placed the winning bid on the shakespearean dagger . auctioneer : the successful bid was made by the princess . cassie : princess ? auctioneer : cassandra winslow . dinah : i wonder if it 's ever really drawn blood . [ next_on ] cassie : because she probably knows who we are and what we 're doing here . that 's why she disappeared so quickly . edmund : either that or she caught a glimpse of you . alexandra : i do n't think darci had anything more to say . harley : no , no , no , no , no . go ahead . what were you saying about mrs . godfrey ?

<s>[INST] tony : so what do you think , how you like it ? hmm ? ray : the renovations look good . you did a great job . tony : thank you . ray : did you call me over here to bless the place ? because i really do n't think ... tony : no , ray , i did n't . i need a personal favor . ray : okay . tony : i had a dream , not that it matters much . ray : okay . tony : i did n't like it , ray . i do n't know . i just ... you know what ? i need your guidance . ray : tony , unless it was some sort of religious vision , i do n't know what i can do for you . i 'm a priest ; i 'm not a shrink . tony : ray , you 're the closest thing i 've got to it . come on . please help me out here . ray : all right . what kind of dream was it ? ah , that kind . and you got a problem with that why ? are you a monk now ? tony : no , man . not a chance . it 's just ... you have no idea who i was dreaming about . danny : hey , marina . marina : hi , guys . we 're having a private party tonight . michelle : yeah , so ? marina : so we 're closed . danny : all right . well , we 'll go somewhere else . what 's going on ? marina : oh , harley and gus . danny : oh . good . well , good for them . hey , how 's your dad holding up ? michelle : what , is he sick or something ? danny : no . her dad is frank cooper , the police chief , and ... michelle : oh , the dirty cop in the papers . marina : we 're closed . that 's what private party means . see you , danny . danny : yeah , all right . take care . michelle : she does n't like me very much , you know . danny : well , she used to . michelle : yeah . those were the good old days . well , it 's early . where do you want to go ? danny : i do n't know . we could go to towers . they 've got a nice view . olivia 's bar . michelle : can we go see tony ? phillip : alan , are we almost ready to go ? alan : yes . are you both going ? phillip : well , i am the brother of the groom . alan : what about her ? olivia : she 's the dutiful wife . get over it . alan : duty and custom have often given way to grudges in this family . phillip : yes . well , seething hatreds aside , this evening the spauldings are at least going to appear as a unified front . alan : i hope so . olivia : okay , here 's your chance . no one 's going to know that i 'm not even there , so why do n't you just go it alone ? phillip : no . i want you there . olivia : no , that 's just a masochistic impulse . just stick your head between your knees and breathe . it 'll pass . phillip : no . it 's a family event . and to be honest with you , since we 've cast aside all pretense and we 're now despising each other freely , i do n't know , it 's funny , but i mind it less . olivia : oh . i 'm feeling a warm glow . phillip : you should give it a try . might do wonders for you . olivia : oh , i doubt it . buzz : i was hoping we 'd have a moment alone together . i need to warn you about this mess with frank . alexandra : it 's awful . buzz : my son is innocent . alexandra : oh , i do n't doubt that . buzz : he 's also on the hunt for whoever set him up , and so am i . alexandra : oh , honestly , you do n't know anything about detective work . come on . how can ... buzz : it 's a lead i 'm helping him with . he 's got a gut feeling about someone . alexandra : oh , my . who 's the unlucky target ? buzz : you . frank : forget it . i will call back . thank you . darci : ross still is n't taking your call ? frank : you know what ? how much you guys want to bet the man 's probably standing right there in his office ? marina : ross would n't blow you off , dad . i 'm sure he 's just busy . frank : yeah , yeah . too busy to help his top cop beat these trumped - up charges , huh ? well , you know what ? does n't matter . forget it . i am completely fine . darci : are you sure , honey ? frank : absolutely . darci : you have to face the spauldings tonight . frank : i 'm fine , trust me . danny : come on , let 's just drop it , okay ? please ? michelle : not until you tell me what 's wrong . danny : there 's nothing wrong . i just was n't planning on seeing tony tonight , that 's all . michelle : you mean you did n't want to see tony . i just want to show him my tattoo . danny : oh . well , then , let 's get over there right away . michelle : wow , you guys had a fight , huh ? danny : no . you know ... michelle : about what ? danny : michelle , can we just get out of here before the spauldings and the coopers show up and start throwing punches and ... michelle : what did you and tony fight about , danny ? danny : it 's nothing . tony and i are always fighting . if it 's not one thing , it 's something else . it does n't matter . michelle : yeah ? danny : yeah . michelle : well , it matters to me . harley : what do you think ? gus : i do n't think we can let this happen to frank . harley : i was talking about the dress . gus : it 's nice . they 've practically got him tried and convicted here before they 've gotten started . harley : i 've been avoiding reading anything . gus : yeah . i 'm not going to quit , you know , until i help clear his name . harley : we all want frank to be exonerated . but for tonight , the spauldings and the coopers are going to put aside their differences . tonight we 'll be on the same side . cassie : oh , gosh . the lights of venice , they 're so beautiful . they have to be the most beautiful . edmund : well , i think paris might have something to say about that . but they 're beautiful . yes , they are . just as you will be at this evening 's gala charity auction . cassie : oh , gosh . it 's been so long since i 've done something like this . but phony cassie sure has been making the circuit . edmund : well , cassie , it 's like riding a bike , just in a very expensive gown . cassie : mmm . and we 'll have to get back quick , you know . we have to get back in time for harley 's wedding . edmund : what about my surprise for you ? you do n't want to see it ? cassie : well , what do you think ? come on . what are you smiling about ? edmund : you must choose something to wear . cassie : oh , my , edmund ... edmund : usually the lights go out when i do that , but then the makeup artist could n't see what we was doing . i know , i know , i know , i know . i 'm far too much . but you are going to be the belle of the ball . dinah : `` for her royal highness princess cassandra winslow . the honor of your presence is requested ... `` blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah . of course it is . this portion of `` guiding light `` is sponsored by luvs . live and learn , and then get luvs . cassie : can you give us a minute , please ? edmund : thank you . you did n't like my surprise ? cassie : no , that 's not it . that 's not it . it 's just that , you know , yesterday we were hanging out at the farm , and now there 's all this pampering going on . edmund : all of which you richly deserve . cassie : you just said that i ... you 're making this up as you go along , are n't you ? edmund : out of whole cloth . yes , i am . cassie : just as long as we 're clear why i 'm even doing this . edmund : because you 're a girl out looking for a good time . cassie : well , i 'm also hoping to get a look at the high life this impostor has been living as me . and this auction is just the type of event that she 'd go to . edmund : yes , it is . and with any luck , she 's lost somewhere in the balkans . but cassie , i have to admit , i have an agenda here . cassie : pamper me silly ? edmund : yes . yes , that , and i want to show venetian society how it 's done when it 's done very well . and if this impostor shows her face , we 'll tease her for a bit and then call in the authorities . cassie : if i do n't tear her apart myself . dinah : yes , good evening . how sweet of you to think of me , but i am otherwise engaged for this evening . the charity auction for the international museum of modern art . with the royal family of denmark attending , yes . it sounds absolutely wonderful , but i can't . well , reputation is the currency of the realm , that is for sure . but i simply can not . i am so sorry . thank you , though , for thinking of me . and please give my apologies to the royal family on my behalf . very good . another time . cheers . okay . oh , my gosh , so much do to , so little time . all right . alexandra : frank still suspects me ? buzz : afraid so . alexandra : me and drugs ? come on . it 's so ludicrous . buzz : well , you know , frank 's a cop with a case that has loose ends . and frank 's going to think what frank 's going to think . alexandra : oh , come ... why involve me ? i 've answered every one of his questions . buzz : i 'm telling you this because i think it 's better for you to know . i have a different take on it , and i 'm betting that time is going to prove me right . alexandra : what 's your theory ? buzz : this is about revenge , and the one guy that wants to get frank in spades is a man that he put behind bars . alexandra : vinnie salerno . buzz : frank helped bring down his horrible organization . he 's got one of his girls . salerno 's probably stewing right now over the fact that darci can put him away for a long time . alexandra : yes . well , she certainly could have him over a barrel . buzz : yeah . i think that salerno got frank kicked off the force as sort of a last major play . alexandra : well , can you convince your son of that ? buzz : i 'm sorry he 's got you in his crosshairs . i did n't want to dump this on you tonight . but you know , we 're going to be celebrating with the whole cooper family . alexandra : yeah . no , no . actually , i 'm glad you told me , because if frank 's going to give me dirty looks across the room , at least i 'll know why . all right , i 'll do my best to put all this messy business behind us for tonight . buzz : yeah . gus and harley deserve our undivided attention . after all , they closed the gap between the two families . alexandra : oh , well , i thought you and i did that . buzz : well , we certainly forged a trail . gus : listen . you know , your family means just as much to me as my own . in fact , if i had to make a choice ... harley : you wo n't have to make a choice . gus : but frank had a raw deal here . he just got a raw deal . i do n't want his job . i just want to help clear him in this whole thing . harley : honey , do n't feel bad for stepping in for frank . okay , next to him you 're the highest - ranking guy on the force . he understands . gus : yeah , well , he should n't have to . harley : but he does . everybody understands . we trust that you will do your best . i trust you . gus : should we go ? harley : this is a miserable time , okay ? but just for tonight , can we ... can we forget about all that stuff , and we could just ... can we just think about how great it 's going to be to walk down the aisle and become man and wife ? can we focus on having fun ? gus : yes , yes . let 's do that . that 's ... we should do that . harley : let 's do that . and let 's just know that it will all work itself out after the wedding . gus : your brother 's neck is on the chopping block , and you 're consoling me . is that a little backwards ? harley : that 's what we do , right ? you need some reassuring , we do that for each other . gus : yeah . harley : man and wife . gus : yeah . ( phone rings ) harley : i 'm going to get that . you go start the car . i 'll be right out . gus : all right . ( phone rings ) harley : hello ? darci : harley , it 's darci . harley : hey , darci . what 's up ? darci : i want to give you a heads - up . things are not going well for frank tonight . harley : more bad news ? darci : no , thank god , but i think this whole situation is starting to wear on him . i 'm worried about tonight . frank : hey , sisarini . i do n't know what darci told you , but i am completely fine . harley : frank ... frank : i am fine . i am totally fine , and i 'd just like to know when my sister 's going to get here . come on . harley : i think i know you a little bit better than that . frank : little sister , tonight is your night , and i 'm not going to let any of my little problems ruin it , i promise you . harley : frank , i know how tough this is for you . frank : hey , whoever said life 's supposed to be easy anyway ? harley : i 'm just saying that if i knew for sure that alan or alex were behind this , they would n't be getting out of there alive . frank : yeah . well , we do n't know that yet . harley : but in the meantime , i know how tough it 's going to be for you being in the same room as them . frank : hey , did n't you just hear a word i said ? i told you i 'm completely fine . so listen -- end of discussion . just get your little heiney over here now . i love you . gus : everything okay ? harley : i hope so . buzz : well , the gang 's all here . both gangs , actually . i trust we 've left our lethal weapons behind us . alan : yes , but not our sharp tongues . buzz : oh , let 's see if we can hold that in check . i want to officially welcome the spaulding clan . thank you for joining us tonight . phillip : anything for a good cause . buzz : does n't get any better than this , does it ? frank : i 'll drink to that . alan : frank , how are you ? frank : oh , i 've been better , but thanks for asking . darci : mr. spaulding , so happy that you could join us tonight . marina : here 's your lemonade , fresh - squeezed . alan : oh . well , where is the happy couple ? marina : fashionably late . alan : oh , i see . gus : hey ! harley : we 're here . buzz : well , i 'm officially appointing myself bartender for this evening . libations all around . there will be a lot of toasts , you know . there 'll be dinner in a while , and things . would you see if something 's burning in the kitchen while i try to loosen these stiffs up ? marina : sure . frank : all right , poparino , me first . i 'm empty . buzz : frank , i think you 've had enough . frank : it 's a party . buzz : give it a break , frank . frank : i do n't feel like giving it a break . buzz : i know you 're upset . you have every right to be . but tonight is not about you . frank : tonight 's about harley and gus . buzz : frank , it 's about all of us . i know how you feel about alan and alex , you know . and drinking the night away may seem to you a perfect way to keep yourself from punching their lights out . but think about your sister , her happiness . and frank , there 's no way i 'm going to let you ruin this night , no matter what you 've been through . gus : so how are you , mrs . godfrey ? alexandra : oh , all right . i 'm going to let that godfrey remark slide , because i want to tell you that i think you 're doing the absolute right thing by not telling harley anything . gus : anything about what ? alexandra : oh , honestly . do we have to play this game ? gus : well , do we know any other game to play ? i do n't think so . alexandra : when you left me , i did n't know what you were going to do . you made me quite nervous . gus : well , i did n't know exactly what i was going to do . alexandra : well , do you know now ? gus : yes . i 'm going to keep on lying like the lying spaulding that i am . but i do want you to know i have limits . ray : like i said , man , i am no shrink , but there 's no reason to jump to conclusions over some dream . tony : it was about michelle , ray . ray : sometimes dreams are whatever 's left bouncing around your head at the end of the day . tony : i do n't want to have it again . ray : i ca n't help you with that , t . tony : i know . you know what ? forget it . i 'm sorry . i should n't have brought it up . forget i even mentioned it . it 's not that big of a deal . ray : it 's okay . i do n't want to preach to you , tony . tony : that 's your job , ray , huh ? ray : it 's never done any good . you 've never been too receptive . look , in my opinion , i think this dream means that you 're uncertain about things with michelle . look , man , that 's understandable . we all are . it does n't mean you want her . tony : that 's kind of what it felt like , ray . ray : it ... look , it could be that you want to protect her , help her . tony : i do . that 's what i 'm trying to do , all right ? i just ... i do n't know , man . i think that danny may be right . if she just comes back , remembers everything , everything 's going to be all right . ray : tony , that is not going to happen . michelle 's changed . good or bad , we do n't know . we know we love her , right ? tony : yeah . ray : we want her to live her life as best she can under the circumstances . tony : it 's all god 's will , right ? ray : i think so . she 's not going to be going back to being the old michelle . right now our job is to help her along , deal with her as she is now . tony : what about the dream , ray ? ray : there 's no harm done as long as you do n't feel like you need to act on it . michelle : tony santos . it 's time we got something settled between us . cassie : wow . it 's been a while since i 've been to one of these . look at all these people . edmund : and you , my dear , are drawing every eye in the room . cassie ? cassie ? cassie : hmm ? edmund : take a breath . and it 's customary to be announced before we enter the room . shall we ? cassie : no , no , no , no . there 's some slight chance that the impostor princess cassie is here . we do n't want to scare her off . edmund : oh , good point . all right . well , it 's a silent auction . items are magnificent . no one needs to know we 're here . and if i remember correctly , the view of st . mark 's square is beautiful from this balcony . shall we ? cassie : i have n't had a chance to thank you . edmund : for what ? cassie : for helping me feel like a princess , and not thinking i 'm crazy . edmund : cassie , you are the most beautiful woman in this room , and there is nothing i could do or say to make you more of a princess than you 've been your whole life . now , as for being crazy ... herald : ladies and gentlemen , her royal highness princess cassandra winslow . ( applause ) dinah : well , it looks like everyone 's here this evening . how divine . prince : well , the party had n't started until you arrived . dinah : oh , i like you . cassie : wow , it 's so beautiful . edmund : events like this can be just the beginning if you 'd like , cassie . cassie : we 'll see . i must have left my purse inside . i 'll be right back . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... frank : i promise you no one 's going to get hurt here -- no one who does n't deserve to . i liked it . i liked it . i did . edmund : here it is , darling . you set it down right over there . cassie : what would i do without you ? edmund : well , hurling yourself into the danube has become quite fashionable . cassie : oh . prince : i want to show you something very special . dinah : okay . i 'm all yours , for now . cassie : let 's check out the goods . edmund : all right . what do we have here ? my , oh my , oh my . i 've seen this in pictures , but i never thought it would be available to the public . cassie : a knife ? edmund : cassie , this is a 16th century dagger from the old globe theater . probably used by shakespeare himself . cassie : wow . edmund : yeah . i saw it in a book when i was nine years old , and i think i 've been in love with it ever since . cassie : you should bid on it . edmund : no , this is far too rich for my blood . i think i 'm just torturing myself looking at it . so let 's move on down the line , shall we ? cassie : you know what ? this place is like a fairy tale . it 's exactly the kind of event that the woman who is pretending to be me would show up to . edmund : well , try to keep your anger in check , and have a good time , all right ? cassie : i 'm going to have fun whether she 's here or not . edmund : good . dinah : this is gorgeous . i 've been looking for a piece just like this . prince : it 's as beautiful as you are . place a bid . cassie : why do n't you find us some champagne , and i 'll meet you back here . edmund : all right . do n't be long . the auction 's about to begin . cassie : excuse me . i would like to place a bid on the shakespearean dagger . auctioneer : certainly , madam . cassie : thank you . edmund : oh , i 'm terribly sorry . let me get that for you . here you are . dinah : klutz . thank you . tony : all right , what did i do ? michelle : i 'm just saying i 've got a bone to pick with you , that 's all . ray : do you need any spiritual mediation ? michelle : i think i 've got it covered , padre . ray : okay . well , bro , i 'm going to take off . tony : okay . ray : michelle , you look wonderful . michelle : thanks . thanks . i feel really good . and i know if my memory does n't come back , i 'm on the right path . ray : that 's good . i 'd like to hear about it . stop by the church sometime . we 'll talk . i 've got a lot of people praying for you . michelle : thank you . that means a lot . ray : okay . guys , i love you guys . dinah : see you soon . tony : okay . so you come barging in here like cops with a warrant . what 's the deal ? what 's going on ? michelle : well , i 'll make it short . do n't be such a punk . tony : all right . well , that 's kind of funny , because my horoscope said the same thing today . michelle : you and danny had a fight , right ? tony : well , michelle , we do that sometimes . michelle : yeah . well , not with me around , you do n't , okay ? i already told danny to cut it out . he would n't tell me what happened , but i think we need to settle this right here and right now . tony : well , michelle , i 'm sure whatever it was it was my fault . danny : it usually is . michelle : oh , okay , okay . i see . this is how it works . everyone 's all buddy- buddy here . no one 's talking . tony : well , there 's nothing to worry about . it 's okay . michelle : you know , i do n't believe you , but whatever . the real reason i came , ta - dah ! what do you think , huh ? how cool is that ? phillip : now , they look happy . olivia : i remember happy . phillip : do you ? olivia : no , not really . phillip : i 'm happy . this arrangement is actually working out quite well for me . olivia : i 'm so glad . phillip : listen , it does n't have to be horrible for you . just use it . accept that you 're doing what 's best for emma . olivia : with a guillotine blade hanging over my head . phillip : i did n't say it was perfect . olivia : do n't you miss it , having something real ? phillip : i had that with beth , and with harley in a different way . olivia : but is n't that what we should be wishing for , instead of what we 've got ? phillip : i 'd say we 've both had our chances . frank : hey , great party , huh ? harley : stop . you do n't have to pretend . it 's me . frank : what are you talking ? i 'm not pretending anything here . look , we 've got great food , we 're having good quality family time . harley : stop pretending . you 're not even good at it . are you drunk ? frank : i 'm fine . go have fun . come on . harley : you 're not fine . you 're like a bomb with a smoldering fuse . see , if brad green had just told us who he was working with before he died we could crack this thing wide open , and we could get you off . if he 'd said something more substantial than just `` god free . `` frank : yeah , well , you know what ? he didn't . you know , deathbeds are n't the only place you can drag a confession out of someone . you know what ? i 'm sorry . that was ... let 's just forget this , okay ? i 'm fine . you go have some fun , okay ?

[ scene_break ] olivia : do you even want to save your marriage ? dante : it 's not that simple , okay ? olivia : well , you make it that simple ! you ask yourself , do you love lulu ? and if so , are you willing to do anything it takes to keep that ring on her finger , to keep that kid in a two - parent home , or are you just gon na throw up your hands and let this whole situation get worse ? dante : it is n't about trust , mom . okay ? or the lack thereof , i should say . i - i - i apologized to lulu over and over again . i - i 've told her i love her i do n't know how many times . she will not take the leap to trust me again . olivia : keep trying . you keep working harder . dante : she broke into my work e - mail to spy on me . olivia : that just came out of a sense of -- of -- dante : sadness , frustration , hurt , lack of trust . olivia : yes , probably . all of the above . so -- so you pick yourself up and you try again , dante . lulu is the love of your life . you do n't just let her go . dante : i did n't let her go . she let us go . she served me with separation papers on thanksgiving . olivia : yeah , alexis told me that that happened , but -- but -- but it did n't sound like it was a done deal . dante : well , it is now . she came by . valerie was here . was a whole thing . but i gave her what she wanted . signed those papers , gave them back to her . olivia : hold the phone . the hell was valerie doing here ? dante : [ sighs ] olivia : do n't tell me you 're hitting it again with that home wrecker . dante : then do n't ask .

babe interrupts jr 's hearing and confesses that jr is not guilty of the charges and she made it all up . she and dixie tell everybody that j.r. will not change or become a better man by being locked up in prison . and it will only hurt little a. adam agrees and wants his son off the hook . but everybody else believes he needs to own responsibility for trying to kill babe and almost killing kendall and her unborn baby . kendall , erica , bianca and ryan watch the television coverage of his trial from the hospital television and are outraged . they go to court and tell everybody that jr must not get away with what he has done . he agrees and is ready to enter a guilty plea but suddenly changes his mind and pleads not guilty . the judge then dismisses the case . everybody is very upset . greg stays buried in the ground . nobody has come to save him or even knows where he is . he believes he will die soon but tells the martins and erica that he has saved josh from knowing them and he does not apologize . and he tells tad and dixie that he has saved kate from knowing them . and that is his last will and testament that he will take to his grave . jonathan has a seizure . lily , amanda and josh take him to the hospital . he recovers and admits that he feels `` normal `` . right when lily is telling amanda how she knows that since jonathan 's new state of being since his brain surgery , they are meant for each other . they are both broken pieces who belong together . but right after jonathan recovers , he seems to turn right back into the same person he was before he had the brain surgery . how is that going to affect lily ?

[ scene_break ] sam : from what jason was able to piece together , morgan had been drinking . alexis : on top of his medication ? sam : or instead of . either way , the bartender cut him off . he took away his keys , and morgan did not call a cab . alexis : he stole julian 's car . sam : actually , i do n't think anyone 's really sure if morgan knew he was actually stealing julian 's car . but we do know that julian 's driver left his keys in the car . morgan saw that . he went to get in , tj tried to stop him , and then morgan punched him , and he just took off . alexis : so , you think this was just a coincidence ? sam : i mean , yes , a very horrible , strange coincidence . alexis : but the bomb was not a coincidence . sonny had to have been behind this . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm not worried about sonny corinthos . scott : well , you know , you should be , because if you think he wanted you dead before , now he wants you even deader . you see , in his warped criminal mind , you are responsible for the death of his son . so , if i was you , i would get out of town . julian : well , you 're not me . scott : okay . well , you know , after all this business with you , i was looking forward to a nice trip to the bahamas , so good luck to you . however ... julian : what ? scott : there might be a way out of this for you .

[ scene_break ] sam : how would you have felt if sonny succeeded ? alexis : you 're asking me if i wished julian had died instead of morgan ? sam : my -- my first choice would be that no one had died , but if i had to pick between julian and morgan ? morgan was just a kid , and he had his whole life ahead of him . he did not deserve to die . and i ca n't say the same thing about julian , because julian has left nothing but a trail of misery and broken lives , and that 's before he even tried to kill you . but as angry as i am with julian over everything that he 's done to our family , and as much as i would love to see him spend the rest of his life in prison ... i do n't wish him dead . alexis : i do n't wish him dead , either . [ scene_break ] nina : you wo n't give me the research ? i paid for the research . it 's up to me what to do with it . curtis : not when it involves you obtaining an illegal baby . i guarantee , you do that , you 're gon na be caught , and i 'm gon na be the accessory . i 'm trying to stay out of trouble , nina . you 're not just my boss . you 're my friend . and the only way that i can show that i have your back is to turn you down on this one . nina : okay , i know . excuse me . curtis : nina . julian : what was that about ? curtis : nothing . julian : it did n't seem like it . curtis : you know what ? it was business , and i just had to turn down a job . julian : really ? well , in that case , i , uh ... i might have a job for you .

[ scene_break ] nina : you did n't have to come after me . i 'm a big girl . i know what i 'm doing . curtis : nina , i know you can take care of yourself , okay ? i just wanted to make sure you 're okay , and that we 're still good . good ? nina : we 're good . hey , i appreciate all the work you did . i respect your position . i just need to figure out what happens to me next . curtis : [ sighs ] hey , yo , tj , what 's good , man ? look , um , why do n't you give your uncle curtis a call as soon as possible , okay ? it 's about morgan .

carly declares she is done with sonny and can not ever be with him again , asks michael to help her move all her stuff out of sonny 's house and support her decision and reason to do what she must do . she declares to sonny that it means nothing to her that he `` reconsidered `` going after julian and called off his plans when morgan is dead because of his actions . kristina comes by and makes it clear to michael that she does not approve of his mom turning on their dad and blaming him for what she believes is julian 's fault and not sonny 's . josslyn overhears their conversation and demands to know what this secret is regarding her step - father 's involvement in the death of her brother . michael then explains to her that julian 's car got bombed . morgan just happened to be driving his car when it blew up , and there 's obvious reason to conclude how , why and from whom there 'd be a bomb intended for julian . at that point , josslyn declares to her mom that throughout her life , she 's heard , from many people , all the deep dark secrets about sonny which she did not understand . she now understands perfectly and declares she blames him for the tragic loss of morgan . sam talks to her mom about what has happened , urging her not to judge or assume the worst about sonny , realizing he 's devastated about the loss of morgan , as they all are . alexis , however , clarifies to her daughter that , given it was julian 's car that was bombed , if only he had been driving , it would make their lives so much easier . julian , however , goes to crimson to declare to both nina and curtis that instead of vilifying him , they need to know that sonny tried to murder him and ended up murdering his own son . he asks curtis to investigate that for him , reminding him if he uncovers evidence which brings sonny to justice for murdering his son , curtis might have a bright future in law enforcement , which motivates curtis to help him with what he wants .

[ scene_break ] julian : do n't worry . i 'm not staying . i 'm just dropping off financials . so , that 's , uh , very thoughtful of you there . i 'm sure sonny will appreciate the gesture . i 'm also sure he was expecting people to be dropping off flowers and fruit baskets to my family , not his . nina : lucky you , julian . julian : oh , you 're damn right lucky me . this whole thing started because he was trying to kill me .

[ scene_break ] sam : from what jason was able to piece together , morgan had been drinking . alexis : on top of his medication ? sam : or instead of . either way , the bartender cut him off . he took away his keys , and morgan did not call a cab . alexis : he stole julian 's car . sam : actually , i do n't think anyone 's really sure if morgan knew he was actually stealing julian 's car . but we do know that julian 's driver left his keys in the car . morgan saw that . he went to get in , tj tried to stop him , and then morgan punched him , and he just took off . alexis : so , you think this was just a coincidence ? sam : i mean , yes , a very horrible , strange coincidence . alexis : but the bomb was not a coincidence . sonny had to have been behind this . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm not worried about sonny corinthos . scott : well , you know , you should be , because if you think he wanted you dead before , now he wants you even deader . you see , in his warped criminal mind , you are responsible for the death of his son . so , if i was you , i would get out of town . julian : well , you 're not me . scott : okay . well , you know , after all this business with you , i was looking forward to a nice trip to the bahamas , so good luck to you . however ... julian : what ? scott : there might be a way out of this for you .

[ scene_break ] sam : how would you have felt if sonny succeeded ? alexis : you 're asking me if i wished julian had died instead of morgan ? sam : my -- my first choice would be that no one had died , but if i had to pick between julian and morgan ? morgan was just a kid , and he had his whole life ahead of him . he did not deserve to die . and i ca n't say the same thing about julian , because julian has left nothing but a trail of misery and broken lives , and that 's before he even tried to kill you . but as angry as i am with julian over everything that he 's done to our family , and as much as i would love to see him spend the rest of his life in prison ... i do n't wish him dead . alexis : i do n't wish him dead , either .

what 's that about ? jeffrey : well , what can i say ? i guess you 're one of the few people in this town that would go one on one with me . cassie : not counting a few fun - loving yoga instructors that like to have one- night stands with you , huh ? jeffrey : that 's a different kind of one on one . cassie : this is n't charming . i do n't like being followed , not even by someone as stealthy as you , so i want you to stop the game - playing , please , and tell me why you end up everywhere i am . jeffrey : all right , you want to know ?

michelle : ... that you 've been keeping this from me ever since i opened my eyes ? danny : i will tell you everything here . just not here . michelle : yeah , that 's a novel concept . you 're going to tell me everything , all the facts about my own life , huh ? danny : michelle , i 'm just trying to ... michelle : `` protect you . `` i know . the two words i dread most . `` protect you . `` i have told you so many times i can handle myself . but if you keep treating me like i ca n't , you 're the one who 's going to need protection . danny : michelle ... michelle : a lot of people just heard salerno say that you were responsible for that explosion . is he right ? danny : yes . i set the bomb . i almost killed you . alexandra : are you really willing to throw away the love that you and gus have ? the kind of love that may just happen once in a lifetime , because he made one mistake ? harley : it 's not just because of what gus did . a part of me can actually understand that he was trying to protect you . alexandra : then what is it ? harley : it 's who he has become . one of you . lying and deceitful . willing to sacrifice anyone and everything -- even me and my family , so that you would n't have to pay for what you did . alexandra : come on , gus wanted to tell you . he was tormented by this lie , but he promised alan , his father ... harley : i do n't want to hear the justification . gus knew that trust was everything to me . did that matter to him ? alexandra : can you possibly believe that he was pulled in two different directions ? harley : yes , i believe it . i saw it up close . but my pull should have been stronger . he should have chosen me ! alexandra : well , he did n't want to make a choice at all . he thought he could help me without hurting anyone else . i mean brad was dead . the drugs had stopped with him . harley : then he should have just told me . that would have changed everything . alexandra : he was trying to protect you as well as me , harley . and then one lie , well , rolled into ten lies . everything got out of control , all right ? and he thought you could have this one wonderful , joyful evening . this wedding for heaven 's sake . harley : look at you . you are in prison and you 'll still doing it . you 're still trying to work that spaulding spin making all these lies seem perfectly reasonable . alexandra : oh , really , harley . gus will spend the rest of his life making this up to you if you will just give him a chance . harley : that will never happen . gus did n't just ruin my wedding . he ruined my faith in him . nothing will ever save that . beth : you really took a beating . gus : i took a beating ? you should see the other guy . beth : ( laughs ) gus : sometimes it 's good anyway to have a beating . everybody should have beating every now and then . it 's good for the soul , you know . beth : i 'm not going to argue with you there . you screwed up royally . you had a good thing and you blew it . gus : she just pour salt in my wounds . i have some salt . beth : yeah , you know something ? i 've been where harley is now . i 've been sandbagged by the spauldings . my entire life has been torn apart by their lies and manipulation . gus : mm - hmm . yeah and ... beth : and i 'm still ... living in their house . ( laughs ) gus : yes . beth : but not with phillip . gus : you 're not really helping me much . thank you . beth : okay , well , what about this ? i get a digital camera , take a few shots of your misery , e - mail them to harley . might make things better . gus : nah , she 'll just see the pictures and be mad that somebody got to me before she did . jeffrey : i told you at the farm that we worried about this person who 's been impersonating you showing up here . cassie : is she here ? jeffrey : we do n't know . but we do know ... well , we think anyway that it 's more than just a she . cassie : i do n't get it . jeffrey : we wondered why would somebody be using your credit cards and then paying off the bills . it 's because impersonating cassie winslow is just a small part of something a lot bigger . cassie : how big ? jeffrey : well , we do n't know . we think it might be a whole international ring . these people , they assume other people 's identity . they steal their identity . and then they try to gain access to important people like heads of state , royalty , that sort of thing . i ca n't say too much more about it . but we also know that they are on to you . they know that you know . cassie : venice . jeffrey : exactly . you tracked these people to their hotel room , okay ? they do n't want to be discovered . you have become a threat to them . cassie : well , are these people dangerous ? jeffrey : i do n't want to find out , cassie . and until they 're in custody , meet your new best friend . cassie : no . no way . no way . you call the feds . you call whoever you have to call . then you find me somebody else , okay ? someone else . i ca n't have you . jeffrey : what 's wrong with me ? cassie : you complicate things , okay ? and the way you effect edmund it just ... jeffrey : the way i affect you , you mean . cassie : it 's life threatening to be around you , jeffrey , okay . you know , i 've been near you twice and almost been killed . i 'm out of here . and do n't even think about following me . cassie : bill . hi . i 'm sorry . bill : o'neill , i 'm glad you 're here . jeffrey : well , that 's refreshing . bill : yeah , well , do n't get excited , because we need to talk now . jeffrey : yeah , i 'm sorry , bill . i 'm running kind of late . could you make an appointment with my office ? bill : no , this ca n't wait . cassie : be my guest . jeffrey : wait . we 're not done here . cassie : want to bet ? jeffrey : all right , you 've got 30 seconds . bill : that 's good because that 's all the time i 'm going to need to blow your case against salerno wide open if you do n't work with me . good . now i have your attention . michelle : why did n't you tell me ? danny : you have to know i would never deliberately hurt you . michelle : why did n't you tell me ? why did i have to hear it from that pig instead of you ? danny : i 'm so sorry that it came out like this . you do n't know how sorry . michelle : well , when were you going to tell me ? never . you were never . you were never going to tell me . danny : no . it 's not ... michelle : did you not think it was important ? did you not think i deserved to know ? danny : michelle , you did n't know me . how could i even know how you would react or if you would even believe anything i told you ? michelle : just tell me why you did it . why ? danny : what happened at the warehouse was one of the those jobs that i had to do for salerno to prove my loyalty to him . michelle : a test ? danny : a test . a test that went horribly wrong . and i am paying it for every day of my life . michelle , i wanted to tell you . it 's been driving me crazy . in a way i 've been walking around like you , like two different people . everybody sees me as this hero and i have all these secrets . all these terrible things that i was forced to do . i wanted you to know before the explosion we shared everything with each other . we were working together to nail salerno . we were in it together . michelle : wait a minute . wait . so you 're telling me i knew about this warehouse ahead of time ? danny : no . it was the one thing that i did n't tell you about . and it 's why i think you followed me to the warehouse because you knew i was n't telling you something . michelle , if i knew that you were there in the warehouse ... you have to ... it was a terrible accident . and you have to believe me . i 'm paying for it every time i look at you . i ca n't do anything to change it . i have to live with it every day . but i ca n't make you do anything you do n't want to do . believe me or do n't believe me . it 's up to you . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... michelle : i do n't know you , okay ? i do n't know any of you . so i do n't need your opinion and i do n't care what you have to say ! jeffrey : dinah contacted you , did n't she ? bill : yeah , she has . as matter of fact , i know right where she is . alexandra : harley ! this old fashioned righteousness of yours is n't going to keep your feet warm in bed at night . harley : so long , alex . you know , you do n't look so hot in orange . too bad that 's all they offer at vailsburg . alexandra : well , i may be the one behind bars , but seems to me you 're in a prison of your own making . which is worse , i wonder ? harley : that 's so funny . because i feel like i just won my freedom from you and that insanity you call a family -- including gus . so once i 've signed off on these wedding gifts , i can start erasing all of you from my memory . harley : well , that wo n't happen . because the kind of thing that you and gus have that 's the real thing . so you walk away from it , you 'll be running on empty the rest of your life , my dear . you can trust me on this . you do n't want to live a life without love . jeffrey : you want salerno to walk ? are you out of your mind ? bill : a life for a life . that 's the deal , right ? ross talked to you , i know about looking into my sister 's case . reopening it . entering a plea of leniency , right ? jeffrey : i said i would look at it . bill : all right , well , how 's it going ? jeffrey : it 's going to take some time . bill : well , time has just run out , mr . o'neill . you have to do whatever it takes to get my sister 's name clean on the books , all right ? or i 'm going to go the courts and make sure that they know that eden did n't die in that far . and there goes your trump card for putting salerno away . jeffrey : so you would jeopardize eden 's safety for your sister like that ? bill : i 'd never tell where eden was even if i knew . never do that to her . but you owe me and you owe my family . jeffrey : i do n't owe you anything , bill . what are you talking about ? i 'm the one who saved eden in the first place . i could have let her twist in the wind after she messed up the drug deal . bill : mr. o'neill , never mind ! i just want my sister back . no strings attached . jeffrey : why are you in such a hurry ? why are you and ross both in such a hurry , bill ? dinah contacted you , did n't she ? bill : yeah , she has . as matter of fact , i know right where she is . josh : are you okay ? reva : it 's over and i am still in one piece . rick : is michelle with you ? reva : no , rick , she wanted some alone time with danny . tony : are they holding danny ? reva : i do n't know , tony . tony : you do n't know . well , he does n't deserve this , reva . salerno gave the orders , the feds , they applied pressure . he does n't deserve this . reva : danny followed those orders and a young woman died . danny : i would give my own life to take back what happened , to take back all the pain that i caused you . i really hope you can forgive me . it 's up to you . do you really think that i could be capable of killing you ? michelle : you know , as far back as i can remember , you 've only been kind to me . i mean you never left my bedside when i was in the hospital . that could be love . or it could be guilt . danny : what do you think it is ? michelle : i think that it 's love , because i can see that in your eyes . i can see it in the way it hurts you whenever i do n't look at you the same way . danny : it is love . michelle : maybe , you know , it 's better that i do n't remember because i do n't really know what i lost . so i ca n't really be mad about that . danny : i 'm so sorry . you do n't know . you could n't know how sorry i am . i know how tough this is . michelle : you know , it 's not as tough as you think . danny : i just ... michelle : look , i know ... i know you would n't do anything bad to me . and i do n't know how the old michelle would have reacted , but i 'm not her . so i ca n't hold a grudge about something that i do n't even remember . danny : what does that mean ? michelle : i forgive you . look , i 'm finally getting to know who you are . and i know ... i know that you love me . not because everyone in the town tells me so . i know that because i feel that . danny : i do love you . i do . thank you . michelle , i promise you , you will never ever be in that kind of danger again . you 're safe now . jeffrey : okay , bill . let 's call her up . call up dinah . we 'll set up a meeting and we 'll see if we can come to some sort of arrangement . bill : no , no , no . not until you come up with a plan to clear her name . jeffrey : she did shoot a guy in cd blood , bill . bill : she was out of her mind . she lost the person that ... the only person that she believed in , that she trusted . i mean , ca n't you enter a plea of temporary insanity ? jeffrey : she had it together enough to catch a plane out of the country to avoid arrest . bill : this is a crime of passion . people are let go for those kind of crimes all the time . jeffrey : no . not without paying . bill : yes , and dinah has paid . i mean , she 's not the same person that she was when she left here . jeffrey : i bet she 's not . bill : look , she just wants to come home to her family . now , are you going to help me or do i have to go to the courts and let them know that you have a witness on ice ? jeffrey : and here i thought you were one of the good guys . bill : in the last few months i learned one thing : to get results , you 've got to take action , not just talk . cassie : wow , you guys are still here . this must be serious . gus : this is terrible . i became alan spaulding 's son and i just lost gus aitoro . beth : hmm . gus : gus ? did you see him anywhere ? beth : hey , hey . gus : gus ? beth : look . gus : i got hit here , too . beth : i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you can be both . you can . gus : you 're a good guy . thank you for all your help . i 've got to go though . let me go . beth : oh , gus . gus , gus , gus . gus : whoa ! beth : why don't ... you know what ? why do n't i help you up stairs , huh ? gus : i 'm just going to go pack my bags . i got to go on a little holiday . beth : hey . gus : i need a vacation . beth : no . you are in no shape to go anywhere . gus : yeah . what if i stay around here and get into another brawl ? and you should see what i did to this guy . ( beth laughs ) so you do n't want anything to happen to the next guy . trust me . beth : okay , okay . why do n't you do me a favor and go see harley before you leave on this vacation ? gus : she wo n't see me . beth : okay , maybe not . but what you 've got to lose ? it 's worth a try . harley : there . gus can send those back . rick : oh , thank god . michelle ? tony : danny ? rick : michelle , are you all right ? michelle : of course . rick : are you all right ? michelle : you saw the show ? rick : yes , of course we did . reva : danny , you swore to us that michelle 's accident was just that . an accident that you or the mob had nothing to do with it . danny : i know . but i was working undercover . i could n't tell anybody anything . rick : do you have any idea about all the lives you have ruined ? tony : rick , back off , all right ? danny : it 's okay . let him talk . let him talk . josh : what about bill , danny ? i mean , after all the work he did to help you get a fresh start in this town , you reward him by killing his fiancée . i do n't understand that . danny : josh , you have to understand that i had no choice . josh : oh , that makes it okay then ? michelle : okay , we 're going to sit here and trash every judgement danny 's made ? because we 've had a really long night . rick : yes , we all have . let 's go . you know , i 'll take you home and we 'll pick up robbie and he can ... you both could stay with us . michelle : i 'm going home with danny to our house . rick : you ca n't be serious . michelle : this is my husband , all right ? rick : wait , michelle . no wait a minute . michelle : we 're going to deal with it . rick : you do n't even know who this man is , michelle , because you do n't remember who he is . you left him before because of his connection to the mob and the violence . you left him , michelle , because you were afraid for your life . michelle : well , i 'm not afraid now . rick : well , you should be . because now you know what he 's capable of doing . michelle , this is n't just about you this time . you have an innocent little boy to think about . i 'm telling you that your life has been endangered from the moment you met this man . that 's not love , michelle . he 's not capable of loving you . danny : hey , rick , that 's enough . rick : come on , let 's get out of here before he hurt you again . danny : hey , i would never hurt your sister . got it ? rick : that 's right . you put her right in the middle of a war , did n't you ? danny : rick ... michelle : do n't you dare , rick . do n't you dare talk about me like that . i do n't know you , okay ? i do n't know any of you . so i do n't need your opinion and i do n't care wt you have to say ! rick : michelle , this isn't ... this is n't you . i just hope you realize that before he hurts you again . tony : okay , you know what ? let 's get out of here . let 's cool off , all right ? see you guys . josh : you okay ? reva : yeah , yeah . i mean , you know me . josh : what is it , reva ? reva : vinnie salerno did a number on me today . josh : did n't show on camera . reva : yeah , well , it was after the interview . he told me that i needed to be with guys like him for excitement to fulfill that something i 'm not getting at home . josh : really ? reva : yeah . ( laughs nervously ) josh : well , you did help put him away . i 'm sure this is his way of getting some small revenge on you . do n't let him get to you , okay ? danny : i do n't know how i 'm going to deal with this . tony : you know , danny , i say let it go . it 'll pass . they 'll get over it . michelle : what 's he supposed to do ? sit back and let them trash who he is ? danny : yeah , i 've worked too hard to build this new life for us . i ca n't do that . michelle : what 's wrong with the life that you had ? danny : what ? are you kidding me ? michelle , it was too dangerous for us and for robbie . i turned my back on it . michelle : well , don't . do n't do that . that 's the person you were when i fell in love with you . cassie : is there something i should know ? jeffrey : nope . bill : i 'll get back to you . jeffrey : well , you made it back in one piece . cassie : this time . jeffrey : oh , do i detect a change of heart ? cassie : i left here and i kept looking over my shoulder . and i kept looking over my shoulder again . then i called home to check on the boys . and i called tammy and then i started thinking , you know , are these people a danger to my children ? jeffrey : no . you 're the prime target ... for now . cassie : but you do n't know for sure . jeffrey : no . cassie : okay , my family is going to wonder why you are around all the time . and i do n't want to frighten my children , jeffrey . jeffrey : we 'll think of an excuse . deal ? cassie : deal . thank you . thank you so much . beth : harley , i 'm so sorry about everything that 's happened . harley : thanks . i stood outside for a long time , but i did n't want to leave without seeing gus . beth : i 'm sorry . you just missed him . ( knocking ) gus : harley ? ( knocking ) harley , you in there ? ( knocking ) [ next_on ] edmund : well , if you 're looking for ways to recoup your losses it 's not that difficult . you ... tammy : uncle edmund , you 're good at business , but what you 're even better at is revenge . cassie : he told me that i was in danger and the threat may already be in town .

( banging on door ) michelle : let me out of here ! reva : michelle . michelle : the lock - down is over . open the door ! reva : michelle , just hang on . michelle : i want to see danny . open the door ! danny : hey . are you okay ? michelle : is it true ? danny : did he touch you ? michelle : is it true ? did you set that explosion ? i want to know the truth . are you responsible for putting me in that hospital bed ? reva : nothing you said on tv is going to get you out of here . the feds have an airtight case against you . salerno : ooh . reva : drug trafficking , money laundering . salerno : oh , you really get off on this stuff , do n't you ? reva : seeing you pay for what you did ? you bet i do . salerno : oh , i can hear you at the country club now . prison riot in cell block d and reva lewis was there -- right after her hair appointment and just before lunch with the girls . interviewing a guy like me really gets your creative juices flowing , does n't it ? reva : get him out of here . salerno : well , any time you need a pick - me - up , give me a call . i 'll be around . reva : do n't trip on your leg irons , vinnie . we want you in one piece for your day in court . josh : okay , thank you . i appreciate that . that was the station . they talked to reva . rick : i just ... i just want to hear my sister 's voice . josh : you wo n't get through . they do n't have their cell phones , rick . i can not believe that danny was the one that set off that bomb . rick : i can believe it . josh : i just ... rick : come on . josh : hey , whoa . wait a minute . wait a minute . did you know anything about this ? did you know that danny ... tony : josh , i saw the interview same as you , okay ? rick : she 's not answering the phone . tony : well , rick , maybe she 's with danny . danny did go out to the prison . rick : oh , so he can talk his way out of it , right ? tony : why do n't you ask him , not me . rick : i 'm asking you , okay ? my little sister trusted you and danny , and this whole time you were back in operation , working for the mob as if you never left . tony : oh , come on . rick : you and danny set this explosion , did n't you , tony ? tony : i do n't know . why do n't you tell me , rick ? you 've got all the answers , right ? rick : tell me i 'm wrong ! tell me i 'm wrong . josh : easy , easy . tony : danny loves michelle . you of all people know that . he did n't lie to her , rick , when he went undercover , okay ? he told her ; she supported him . josh : tony . tony : what ? josh : we just want the truth , all right ? we want to know if danny did this . tony : you want the truth , josh ? you want the truth ? the truth is you both know that he would never hurt michelle . your sister , rick , followed him in the warehouse . he had no idea that she was there , okay ? no idea . josh : oh , god . rick : he did it . of course he did it . tony : hey , you know what ? sometimes people do things out of love because they get crazy like that . sometimes , rick , it backfires . alexandra : you do n't think i 'm suffering enough in here ? harley : i do n't see it . i do n't see contrition . i do n't see devastation . alexandra : oh , really ? well , just because you do n't see it does n't mean it does n't exist . harley , what do you really want from me ? harley : i want you to admit what you did to frank -- a decent , kind man -- and i want you to say it to my face . alexandra : all right . i admit it . i framed frank and i am sorry , so sorry . harley : yeah . sorry you got caught . alexandra : no . i 'm sorry for lies , i 'm sorry for so many lies . but the one thing i never lied about was the way i felt and the way i still feel about your father . harley : but you lied about breaking it off with him . you promised me that you would and you did not . another broken promise . another lie . alexandra : no . no , i tried to . i tried to break it off , but he would n't let me , and i think ... i actually think somewhere in me i thought maybe it could still work out . i do n't know . harley : oh , yeah . you could sell my brother down the river , but you could still have my father ? alexandra : harley , what is it you really want from me ? harley : i 've been returning my wedding gifts all day . and i realized ... i realized that i need to give back the most important gift of all , to you and your family -- all the anger , the bitterness , the resentment . take it back . i do n't want it anymore . i do n't want to live like this anymore . the suspicion , the defensiveness . i am done with you -- you and alan and gus . i just want to get on with my life . alexandra : well , you can try . harley : what is that supposed to mean ? alexandra : i 'm willing to take the consequences for my actions , harley . are you ? beth : you 've got to go to the hospital . gus : no , i 'm not going to the hospital . beth : yes . yes . gus : i do n't need ... i do n't need to go to any hospitals . beth : ( mutters ) okay . my car is right down there around the corner . i 'll back it up the alley as far as i can ... gus : you do n't need to back it up . i can walk to the car . i 'm not an invalid . beth : okay . we 'll give it a shot . gus : okay . and where are we going ? beth : home . gus : home is where the harley is . that 's where ... beth : yes , but at the moment all your worldly goods are at the spaulding house . gus : no , i 'm not doing that . i 'll stay here instead of going there . beth : okay , gus . you 've got two choices . you either walk with me to my car or i 'm going to drag you there . so what 's it going to be ? gus : you 're very bossy . beth : i know . let 's go . gus : well , you 're not the boss of me . beth : no ? well i am right now . gus : and we can go and ... beth : and gus , i 'm sorry . gus : for what ? beth : for not being harley . dinah : hart was my life . i thought that he and i were forever . bill : i know how that goes . dinah : and i think that something happened when i knew i was losing him . i think i was left with a lot of hurt and a lot of anger . bill : look , you do n't have to get into this with me right now . that 's okay . dinah : you know , maybe i do . maybe i need to know if you 're still going to be here once you understand the whole enchilada . bill : hey , of course i will . dinah : okay . there 's no excuse for what i did and i think that my whole life was leading up to it . i had a screwed - up childhood , went through a lot even after coming back to springfield . bill : we all loved you . mom , ross , me . dinah : i know that , i know that , but it was n't enough . no one was enough until hart . when i was with hart , i finally had what i needed . and then cassie ended up tricking him to feeling sorry for her and she stole him from me . and that was awful because i could n't have her take anything more from me . and i did n't want to be alone anymore . i wanted her out of my life . i had the gun and i fired it . but afterward , hart was the one who was dead . and i never wanted that , ever . bill : i understand that . dinah : i wish someone would have stopped me . maybe i 'd still have hart and maybe i would n't be on the run all alone . bill : hey , listen to me . come here . you are not alone . all right ? you got me . dinah : yeah . bill : and all i know is that we 're going to get past this , all right ? because it 's the only way to happiness . so i 'm glad you do n't hate cassie any more . dinah : no . i have that all under control now . bill : well , that 's good . that 's good . i 'm proud of you . dinah : that means a lot coming from you . bill : all right , listen . i have to take care of something very important . you promise that you 're going to finish that drink and head straight home ? dinah : yeah . are you going to be home soon ? i do n't like being alone . bill : it 's not going to take long , okay ? it 's not going to take long . in fact , i 've got a feeling that our luck is going to change , for the better . all right . i 'll see you . dinah : okay . i make my own luck , little brother . cassie : you want to be near me ? what 's that about ? jeffrey : well , what can i say ? i guess you 're one of the few people in this town that would go one on one with me . cassie : not counting a few fun - loving yoga instructors that like to have one- night stands with you , huh ? jeffrey : that 's a different kind of one on one . cassie : this is n't charming . i do n't like being followed , not even by someone as stealthy as you , so i want you to stop the game - playing , please , and tell me why you end up everywhere i am . jeffrey : all right , you want to know ? cassie : next time , that kick , i wo n't miss it , okay ? jeffrey : okay . okay , i will tell you . i am tailing you , for your own good . danny : come on , let 's get out of here . please ? michelle : no , no . i 'm not letting you ... danny : michelle ? michelle : ... and try to make me feel better . danny : this is not the place to have this ... michelle : to tell me that you set the bomb that ... it nearly killed me . to admit ... danny : michelle ? michelle : ... that you 've been keeping this from me ever since i opened my eyes ? danny : i will tell you everything here . just not here . michelle : yeah , that 's a novel concept . you 're going to tell me everything , all the facts about my own life , huh ? danny : michelle , i 'm just trying to ... michelle : `` protect you . `` i know . the two words i dread most . `` protect you . `` i have told you so many times i can handle myself . but if you keep treating me like i ca n't , you 're the one who 's going to need protection . danny : michelle ... michelle : a lot of people just heard salerno say that you were responsible for that explosion . is he right ? danny : yes . i set the bomb . i almost killed you . alexandra : are you really willing to throw away the love that you and gus have ? the kind of love that may just happen once in a lifetime , because he made one mistake ? harley : it 's not just because of what gus did . a part of me can actually understand that he was trying to protect you . alexandra : then what is it ? harley : it 's who he has become . one of you . lying and deceitful . willing to sacrifice anyone and everything -- even me and my family , so that you would n't have to pay for what you did . alexandra : come on , gus wanted to tell you . he was tormented by this lie , but he promised alan , his father ... harley : i do n't want to hear the justification . gus knew that trust was everything to me . did that matter to him ? alexandra : can you possibly believe that he was pulled in two different directions ? harley : yes , i believe it . i saw it up close . but my pull should have been stronger . he should have chosen me ! alexandra : well , he did n't want to make a choice at all . he thought he could help me without hurting anyone else . i mean brad was dead . the drugs had stopped with him . harley : then he should have just told me . that would have changed everything . alexandra : he was trying to protect you as well as me , harley . and then one lie , well , rolled into ten lies . everything got out of control , all right ? and he thought you could have this one wonderful , joyful evening . this wedding for heaven 's sake . harley : look at you . you are in prison and you 'll still doing it . you 're still trying to work that spaulding spin making all these lies seem perfectly reasonable . alexandra : oh , really , harley . gus will spend the rest of his life making this up to you if you will just give him a chance . harley : that will never happen . gus did n't just ruin my wedding . he ruined my faith in him . nothing will ever save that . beth : you really took a beating . gus : i took a beating ? you should see the other guy . beth : ( laughs ) gus : sometimes it 's good anyway to have a beating . everybody should have beating every now and then . it 's good for the soul , you know . beth : i 'm not going to argue with you there . you screwed up royally . you had a good thing and you blew it . gus : she just pour salt in my wounds . i have some salt . beth : yeah , you know something ? i 've been where harley is now . i 've been sandbagged by the spauldings . my entire life has been torn apart by their lies and manipulation . gus : mm - hmm . yeah and ... beth : and i 'm still ... living in their house . ( laughs ) gus : yes . beth : but not with phillip . gus : you 're not really helping me much . thank you . beth : okay , well , what about this ? i get a digital camera , take a few shots of your misery , e - mail them to harley . might make things better . gus : nah , she 'll just see the pictures and be mad that somebody got to me before she did . jeffrey : i told you at the farm that we worried about this person who 's been impersonating you showing up here . cassie : is she here ? jeffrey : we do n't know . but we do know ... well , we think anyway that it 's more than just a she . cassie : i do n't get it . jeffrey : we wondered why would somebody be using your credit cards and then paying off the bills . it 's because impersonating cassie winslow is just a small part of something a lot bigger . cassie : how big ? jeffrey : well , we do n't know . we think it might be a whole international ring . these people , they assume other people 's identity . they steal their identity . and then they try to gain access to important people like heads of state , royalty , that sort of thing . i ca n't say too much more about it . but we also know that they are on to you . they know that you know . cassie : venice . jeffrey : exactly . you tracked these people to their hotel room , okay ? they do n't want to be discovered . you have become a threat to them . cassie : well , are these people dangerous ? jeffrey : i do n't want to find out , cassie . and until they 're in custody , meet your new best friend . cassie : no . no way . no way . you call the feds . you call whoever you have to call . then you find me somebody else , okay ? someone else . i ca n't have you . jeffrey : what 's wrong with me ? cassie : you complicate things , okay ? and the way you effect edmund it just ... jeffrey : the way i affect you , you mean . cassie : it 's life threatening to be around you , jeffrey , okay . you know , i 've been near you twice and almost been killed . i 'm out of here . and do n't even think about following me . cassie : bill . hi . i 'm sorry . bill : o'neill , i 'm glad you 're here . jeffrey : well , that 's refreshing . bill : yeah , well , do n't get excited , because we need to talk now . jeffrey : yeah , i 'm sorry , bill . i 'm running kind of late . could you make an appointment with my office ? bill : no , this ca n't wait . cassie : be my guest . jeffrey : wait . we 're not done here . cassie : want to bet ? jeffrey : all right , you 've got 30 seconds . bill : that 's good because that 's all the time i 'm going to need to blow your case against salerno wide open if you do n't work with me . good . now i have your attention . michelle : why did n't you tell me ? danny : you have to know i would never deliberately hurt you . michelle : why did n't you tell me ? why did i have to hear it from that pig instead of you ? danny : i 'm so sorry that it came out like this . you do n't know how sorry . michelle : well , when were you going to tell me ? never . you were never . you were never going to tell me . danny : no . it 's not ... michelle : did you not think it was important ? did you not think i deserved to know ? danny : michelle , you did n't know me . how could i even know how you would react or if you would even believe anything i told you ? michelle : just tell me why you did it . why ? danny : what happened at the warehouse was one of the those jobs that i had to do for salerno to prove my loyalty to him . michelle : a test ? danny : a test . a test that went horribly wrong . and i am paying it for every day of my life . michelle , i wanted to tell you . it 's been driving me crazy . in a way i 've been walking around like you , like two different people . everybody sees me as this hero and i have all these secrets . all these terrible things that i was forced to do . i wanted you to know before the explosion we shared everything with each other . we were working together to nail salerno . we were in it together . michelle : wait a minute . wait . so you 're telling me i knew about this warehouse ahead of time ? danny : no . it was the one thing that i did n't tell you about . and it 's why i think you followed me to the warehouse because you knew i was n't telling you something . michelle , if i knew that you were there in the warehouse ... you have to ... it was a terrible accident . and you have to believe me . i 'm paying for it every time i look at you . i ca n't do anything to change it . i have to live with it every day . but i ca n't make you do anything you do n't want to do . believe me or do n't believe me . it 's up to you . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... michelle : i do n't know you , okay ? i do n't know any of you . so i do n't need your opinion and i do n't care what you have to say ! jeffrey : dinah contacted you , did n't she ? bill : yeah , she has . as matter of fact , i know right where she is . alexandra : harley ! this old fashioned righteousness of yours is n't going to keep your feet warm in bed at night . harley : so long , alex . you know , you do n't look so hot in orange . too bad that 's all they offer at vailsburg . alexandra : well , i may be the one behind bars , but seems to me you 're in a prison of your own making . which is worse , i wonder ? harley : that 's so funny . because i feel like i just won my freedom from you and that insanity you call a family -- including gus . so once i 've signed off on these wedding gifts , i can start erasing all of you from my memory . harley : well , that wo n't happen . because the kind of thing that you and gus have that 's the real thing . so you walk away from it , you 'll be running on empty the rest of your life , my dear . you can trust me on this . you do n't want to live a life without love . jeffrey : you want salerno to walk ? are you out of your mind ? bill : a life for a life . that 's the deal , right ? ross talked to you , i know about looking into my sister 's case . reopening it . entering a plea of leniency , right ? jeffrey : i said i would look at it . bill : all right , well , how 's it going ? jeffrey : it 's going to take some time . bill : well , time has just run out , mr . o'neill . you have to do whatever it takes to get my sister 's name clean on the books , all right ? or i 'm going to go the courts and make sure that they know that eden did n't die in that far . and there goes your trump card for putting salerno away . jeffrey : so you would jeopardize eden 's safety for your sister like that ? bill : i 'd never tell where eden was even if i knew . never do that to her . but you owe me and you owe my family . jeffrey : i do n't owe you anything , bill . what are you talking about ? i 'm the one who saved eden in the first place . i could have let her twist in the wind after she messed up the drug deal . bill : mr. o'neill , never mind ! i just want my sister back . no strings attached . jeffrey : why are you in such a hurry ? why are you and ross both in such a hurry , bill ? dinah contacted you , did n't she ? bill : yeah , she has . as matter of fact , i know right where she is . josh : are you okay ? reva : it 's over and i am still in one piece . rick : is michelle with you ? reva : no , rick , she wanted some alone time with danny . tony : are they holding danny ? reva : i do n't know , tony . tony : you do n't know . well , he does n't deserve this , reva . salerno gave the orders , the feds , they applied pressure . he does n't deserve this . reva : danny followed those orders and a young woman died . danny : i would give my own life to take back what happened , to take back all the pain that i caused you . i really hope you can forgive me . it 's up to you . do you really think that i could be capable of killing you ? michelle : you know , as far back as i can remember , you 've only been kind to me . i mean you never left my bedside when i was in the hospital . that could be love . or it could be guilt . danny : what do you think it is ? michelle : i think that it 's love , because i can see that in your eyes . i can see it in the way it hurts you whenever i do n't look at you the same way . danny : it is love . michelle : maybe , you know , it 's better that i do n't remember because i do n't really know what i lost . so i ca n't really be mad about that . danny : i 'm so sorry . you do n't know . you could n't know how sorry i am . i know how tough this is . michelle : you know , it 's not as tough as you think . danny : i just ... michelle : look , i know ... i know you would n't do anything bad to me . and i do n't know how the old michelle would have reacted , but i 'm not her . so i ca n't hold a grudge about something that i do n't even remember . danny : what does that mean ? michelle : i forgive you . look , i 'm finally getting to know who you are . and i know ... i know that you love me . not because everyone in the town tells me so . i know that because i feel that . danny : i do love you . i do . thank you . michelle , i promise you , you will never ever be in that kind of danger again . you 're safe now . jeffrey : okay , bill . let 's call her up . call up dinah . we 'll set up a meeting and we 'll see if we can come to some sort of arrangement . bill : no , no , no . not until you come up with a plan to clear her name . jeffrey : she did shoot a guy in cd blood , bill . bill : she was out of her mind . she lost the person that ... the only person that she believed in , that she trusted . i mean , ca n't you enter a plea of temporary insanity ? jeffrey : she had it together enough to catch a plane out of the country to avoid arrest . bill : this is a crime of passion . people are let go for those kind of crimes all the time . jeffrey : no . not without paying . bill : yes , and dinah has paid . i mean , she 's not the same person that she was when she left here . jeffrey : i bet she 's not . bill : look , she just wants to come home to her family . now , are you going to help me or do i have to go to the courts and let them know that you have a witness on ice ? jeffrey : and here i thought you were one of the good guys . bill : in the last few months i learned one thing : to get results , you 've got to take action , not just talk . cassie : wow , you guys are still here . this must be serious . gus : this is terrible . i became alan spaulding 's son and i just lost gus aitoro . beth : hmm . gus : gus ? did you see him anywhere ? beth : hey , hey . gus : gus ? beth : look . gus : i got hit here , too . beth : i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you can be both . you can . gus : you 're a good guy . thank you for all your help . i 've got to go though . let me go . beth : oh , gus . gus , gus , gus . gus : whoa ! beth : why don't ... you know what ? why do n't i help you up stairs , huh ? gus : i 'm just going to go pack my bags . i got to go on a little holiday . beth : hey . gus : i need a vacation . beth : no . you are in no shape to go anywhere . gus : yeah . what if i stay around here and get into another brawl ? and you should see what i did to this guy . ( beth laughs ) so you do n't want anything to happen to the next guy . trust me . beth : okay , okay . why do n't you do me a favor and go see harley before you leave on this vacation ? gus : she wo n't see me . beth : okay , maybe not . but what you 've got to lose ? it 's worth a try . harley : there . gus can send those back . rick : oh , thank god . michelle ? tony : danny ? rick : michelle , are you all right ? michelle : of course . rick : are you all right ? michelle : you saw the show ? rick : yes , of course we did . reva : danny , you swore to us that michelle 's accident was just that . an accident that you or the mob had nothing to do with it . danny : i know . but i was working undercover . i could n't tell anybody anything . rick : do you have any idea about all the lives you have ruined ? tony : rick , back off , all right ? danny : it 's okay . let him talk . let him talk . josh : what about bill , danny ? i mean , after all the work he did to help you get a fresh start in this town , you reward him by killing his fiancée . i do n't understand that . danny : josh , you have to understand that i had no choice . josh : oh , that makes it okay then ? michelle : okay , we 're going to sit here and trash every judgement danny 's made ? because we 've had a really long night . rick : yes , we all have . let 's go . you know , i 'll take you home and we 'll pick up robbie and he can ... you both could stay with us . michelle : i 'm going home with danny to our house . rick : you ca n't be serious . michelle : this is my husband , all right ? rick : wait , michelle . no wait a minute . michelle : we 're going to deal with it . rick : you do n't even know who this man is , michelle , because you do n't remember who he is . you left him before because of his connection to the mob and the violence . you left him , michelle , because you were afraid for your life . michelle : well , i 'm not afraid now . rick : well , you should be . because now you know what he 's capable of doing . michelle , this is n't just about you this time . you have an innocent little boy to think about . i 'm telling you that your life has been endangered from the moment you met this man . that 's not love , michelle . he 's not capable of loving you . danny : hey , rick , that 's enough . rick : come on , let 's get out of here before he hurt you again . danny : hey , i would never hurt your sister . got it ? rick : that 's right . you put her right in the middle of a war , did n't you ? danny : rick ... michelle : do n't you dare , rick . do n't you dare talk about me like that . i do n't know you , okay ? i do n't know any of you . so i do n't need your opinion and i do n't care wt you have to say ! rick : michelle , this isn't ... this is n't you . i just hope you realize that before he hurts you again . tony : okay , you know what ? let 's get out of here . let 's cool off , all right ? see you guys . josh : you okay ? reva : yeah , yeah . i mean , you know me . josh : what is it , reva ? reva : vinnie salerno did a number on me today . josh : did n't show on camera . reva : yeah , well , it was after the interview . he told me that i needed to be with guys like him for excitement to fulfill that something i 'm not getting at home . josh : really ? reva : yeah .

was that her idea ? marlena : i just love it when you tell me what i 'm thinking . eric : you know what ? i 'm not getting this apartment because i 'm ready to start dating , mom . marlena : you know what ? i do n't want to see you go through your life alone . and maybe this apartment is just the beginning of a transition . do n't look at me like that . look , you 've had wonderful relationships in the past . i hope that you have n't given up on this just be -- eric : because of what ? because of nicole ? nicole : so i 've got an errand to run , but , uh , you know , i guess i can do it later . daniel : oh , no , no , go ahead . go ahead . i got stuff to do too . nicole : okay . daniel : so i will meet you at the park in an hour . get ready to rumble . nicole : or we could do our errands together and then go to the park later . daniel : hmm , no , no , no , i do n't think so , no . nicole : okay . well , what do you have to do ? daniel : i have personal stuff -- you know , stuff . nicole : you 're not gon na ... buy me any more sports equipment or anything -- daniel : no , no , it has nothing to do with you at all . nicole : all right . so , good . i 'll see you later . daniel : yeah , in an hour . nicole : okay . [ chuckles ] paige : jj and i ? maggie : mm - hmm . paige : we 're good . maggie : oh , i 'm glad . paige : so it 's nice seeing you . maggie : okay . oh , uh , paige ? um , i was just wondering , did daniel ever give jj back his , uh , money clip ? paige : his money clip ? why would dr. jonas have that ? jennifer : well , thank you for wanting to tell me everything , but i do n't think jj feels the same way . eve : well , i am sure jj would explain everything to you , eventually , as ... difficult as it would be . jennifer : what are you talking about ? eve : about what happened that night , of course . paige found out while you were away something that , well , caused a problem for her and jj . jennifer : okay , what ? jj : yeah , um ... paige found out about dad ... and -- and aunt kayla . jennifer : oh , my gosh , honey . eve : that 's why we did n't want to talk about any of this with you . jennifer : really ? and what part do you have in this ? what have you done to my son ? jordan : it 's her . it 's kate , is n't it ? chad : yeah . jordan : oh , my god , i knew it . chad : okay , look , it 's not like she 's gon na be my new best friend , all right ? we 're -- i 'm gon na be working with her . jordan : and living here with her . chad : you were the one that was just going on about how big this place is . jordan : she 's gon na start talking about me -- just wait . chad : i can handle her . jordan : now , see , that ... that 's what rafe said too . chad : look , i did n't want this to upset you . jordan : look , i 'm sorry . kate is kind of a flash point for me , and ... look , i 'm happy for you , okay ? i really am . chad : can we still go out and celebrate ? jordan : later . i - i got to get to work . [ cell phone ringing ] jordan : looks like somebody wants you , mr. co - ceo . chad : [ clears throat ] chad dimera . maggie : well , all daniel said to me -- [ cell phone ringing ] maggie : um , paige , i have to take this . paige : oh , it 's okay . i 'd better be going . maggie : bye - bye . hi . what 's up ? daniel : hey , where are you ? maggie : i 'm running errands , and then i 'm on my way home . daniel : can i meet you there ? maggie : sure . what 's on your mind ? daniel : jennifer . jennifer : jj , what happened ? and how is eve a part of this ? eve : jj ! how are you gon na date paige , get serious with her , with this big secret that 's over your head the whole time , huh ? how are we gon na carry that one off ? we slept together last night . how could you even consider a future with my daughter ? jj : she 's part of it ... 'cause she 's paige 's mom . eve : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] jennifer : is eve the one who told paige about your dad and aunt kayla ? is she trying to cause trouble ? eve : no , i am not . if i wanted paige to know that information , i could have told her way before this . jj : it 's true , mom . she did n't tell paige . eve : but to be truthful here , i am partly responsible . jennifer : oh , surprise , surprise , eve . jj was so happy with paige , and now he is completely miserable , and i am telling you , if you have anything to do with it , you are gon na be so sorry you were even born . eric : mom , nicole was the first love of my life . i 'm not sure if i 'll ever get completely over her . but there were other important times in my life ... like colorado ... africa . remember when i was studying for the priesthood ? i mean , those were unbelievable moments , and nicole had no part of that . marlena : i 'm not exactly sure what you 're saying . eric : i think maybe you 're just worrying for no reason . listen , i know i may not be completely over nicole , but i know that there 's no going back . on that , i am really clear . daniel : oh , thank you for taking the time . maggie : oh , please . come on , what 's on your mind ? daniel : ah , well , jennifer is -- is coming home tonight . maggie : yeah , i know . daniel : and i wanted you to know that i 've decided that i need to see her again . maggie : okay . daniel : i just think that i need to clear the air about anything i might have said that -- that ... that hurt her . maggie : i wish it could 've worked out . daniel : i know you do , but i do n't want you to feel awkward with jennifer because it did n't . maggie : honey ... i have known jennifer all her life . she 's family . jennifer and i will always be fine . daniel : good ... because one thing we still have in common is how much we both still need you . maggie : aw . that 's so sweet . nicole : eric . eric : hi . nicole : where you going ? ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? eve : the reason why i 'm a part of this is because , yes , kayla and i were talking about it . but , unfortunately , by mistake , paige overheard it . jennifer : oh , yeah , i see . eve : and the reason i 'm here now is because i just happened to be driving by . i saw your son coming in the door , and i thought , well , i 'd just stop in for a minute to see how he was doing . jennifer : oh , yeah , because you care so much about my son 's feelings . did you and paige break up over this ? jj : we 're taking a break . jennifer : so it 's not over . eve : jj ... you and paige are both young , and i know it hurts . but one thing that i 've learned in this life is that you ca n't go back and undo the past . jennifer : even if the past was his father 's and not his ? eve : once things have happened , you ca n't go back and change it , and you ca n't change people 's feelings about it , and that is exactly what i was trying to tell jj when you walked in just now . jennifer : i want to speak to jj alone . eve : fine . i think we have said everything we need to say to each other , right , jj ? jennifer : oh , honey . jordan : hi . it 's me . um , listen , i do n't know if i made this clear , but , look , if this makes you happy , then i am really happy for you , chad . i really mean that . dr. evans , hi . marlena : hi . sorry , but i could n't help overhearing . chad 's had some good news ? jordan : yeah , you know him ? marlena : i do . he 's a friend of will and sonny 's , and he 's had kind of a hard time . i 'd say he deserves some good news . jordan : well , from what he says , you and i may be the only two in salem who feel that way . chad : i 'm glad we had a chance to talk , sir . yeah , i want to have a good working relationship with all the members of the board . yeah , thanks . hey , buddy . who 's minding the store ? sonny : well , there 's two of them now , so i thought we should touch base . chad : great . i trust your judgment . you know , i 'm the one who told you to just go for it . sonny : well , if you trust me so much , how come i do n't know anything about this big change coming in your life ? maggie : now that parker is with chloe , victor and i expect you to come to dinner at least , um , once a week ? daniel : oh , please , i 'm gon na be here more often that that . trust me . maggie : even if you do n't need a babysitter ? daniel : yeah , well , one thing i learned from watching jennifer is , no matter how busy your day is or how demanding your job is , you know , do n't take anyone you love for granted . and i never will again . nicole : are you going on a trip or something ? eric : no . nicole : are you , like , leaving ? eric : no , i 'm just moving ... a few blocks from here . nicole : oh . great . i mean ... your family must be really happy . so where is your new place ? eric : does it really matter ? nicole : i guess not . i just wanted to think of you in a nice place . eric : yes , you know what ? i ... i want the best for you too . nicole : you do ? eric : of course . i 'm gon na ... i want to wish you well . you know what ? we both know this is the best decision -- for us to go our separate ways . nicole : right . yes , you are -- you 're right . and i wo n't use my ... reporter skills to track you down . eric : yeah . nicole : well , good luck in your new place . eve : oh , hey , honey . paige : oh , mom , hi . eve : you heading out ? paige : uh , i was , yeah . eve : you , um ... going to see jj ? paige : i 've got a lot of stuff to do . eve : well , before you go , there 's something i want to tell you , and it 's important . daniel : okay , dodgeball basics -- one of us gets the ball . the other one needs to keep from getting hit . if the other one catches the ball , the person who threw the ball is out . nicole : like i did n't know that . daniel : sorry . so you want to toss a coin to see who gets the ball first ? nicole : you go first . after what happened , it seems only right . daniel : mm , okay . start running . you 're out . nicole : hey ! i was n't ready ! daniel : oh , all right , you ready now ? nicole : well , i -- ow ! daniel : here we go . you ready ? move , move , move ! whoop ! oh , no ! nicole : ow ! daniel : there -- ooh ! oh ! oh , she 's out again ! no , going high ! oh , jeez ! yeah , that hurts , does n't it ? nicole : take that ! daniel : oh , lost it , lost it ! where 'd it go ? i do n't know , oh ! nicole : [ shrieks ] ow ! daniel : oh , you 're out ! nicole : [ growls , grunts ] daniel : no ! whoa ! that 's gon na hurt . nicole : [ grunts ] daniel : duck ! oh ! nicole : okay , that 's enough . daniel : bring it on ! oh , she 's out of there ! nicole : you creep . daniel : if you ca n't be a good sport about it , then ... nicole : oh , you know what ? daniel : you 're out . nicole : oh ! in case you 're interested , i am not having any fun . daniel : well , you could try to lose gracefully . nicole : i have n't lost yet , you ball hog . daniel : ball hog . ball hog ? nicole : yeah . you play the game , you get the name . daniel : wow . okay , in that case , i am gon na take my ball and go home . nicole : give me that damn ball ! daniel : no , i 'm not -- oh , my god ! nicole : give it ! daniel : what are you -- no ! nicole : oh , yeah ! who 's winning now ? daniel : what are you , a howler monkey ? get off me ! nicole : who 's winning now ? give me the ball ! daniel : no , you 're not having the ball ! it 's not gon na ha -- oh ! nicole : [ laughing ] daniel ? hey . daniel ? eve : i just want you to know that i , um ... ran into jj today . paige : you did ? where ? eve : well , i did n't exactly run into him . i was driving by his house , and i saw that he was coming in , so i thought i would just stop by and talk to him . paige : why did you do that ? eve : well , honey , you know , you say that he 's trying to break it off with you , right ? and i just -- i just wanted to know why . paige : mom , that was none of your business ! eve : well , honey , i just wanted to know what you were up against , you know ? paige : and now you do ? eve : yeah , i do , and ... honey , i know that you really did n't want this to happen , but ... i think ... jj needs some time away from you , honey . i - i - i 'm sorry . and i know that you do n't want that , but i think he 's ready to let you go , and for your own good , sweetheart , i think you need to let that happen . jennifer : here , sit down . come on . talk to me . jj : paige , um ... she really , really likes kayla , and she looks up to her , and after finding out what dad did , she just could n't deal with it . jennifer : yeah . um ... you know , honey , maybe i could talk to her . jj : what ? no . jennifer : yeah , i mean , i think that i could get through to her maybe . jj : mom , no , you ca n't . jennifer : honey , at least let me try . jj : i - i said no . please . jennifer : okay , i 'm not going to push it , but i would love to explain to her ... that the same man that did that to kayla is not the same man that raised you , baby . jj : look , everything is just a mess right now , and paige sees me in a different way , and there 's no going back . so maybe just the best thing to do is -- is just to -- to break up with her . jennifer : okay , and that 's exactly what eve wants you to do , honey . jj : i just -- i do n't see how i can be with her . jennifer : what are you talking about ? this is n't your fault ! please , i mean , if your dad could see you right now , he would be beside himself . he loved you so much , and he would hate it if he thought that something that he did in his past was hurting you right now . he would hate that . jj : but it 's not about that , mom . it 's not about what dad did . my budget used to be hard on me . marlena : chad 's had his share of misery just being part of the dimera family . first he took a bullet meant for ej and then watched ej die so violently , and now he 's in mourning . but i must tell you , the dimera family ... they 've hurt so many people in this town . jordan : and you 're one of them , right ? marlena : i am . my children included in that . and i 'll tell you something -- that 's not so easy to forget . chad : i knew t could n't keep his damn mouth shut . sonny : i ca n't believe you told t and you did n't tell me . chad : well , i did n't confide in him . he overheard a phone call and put it together . i was n't supposed to tell anyone . there 's going to be a big announcement about it in a few hours . sonny : i 'm your partner ! i 'm your best friend , and you could n't tell me ? chad : no ! no one was supposed to know that i was going to be announced as co- ceo of dimera enterprises . eric : [ grunts ] be ever so humble . [ sighs ] heavenly father , i just pray that you bless this new home ... and bless this new start . [ chuckles ] maybe this is the place where i 'll finally figure out what you have in mind for me . nicole : daniel . daniel , oh , my god . okay , come on , are you okay ? daniel , wake up . hey , come on . daniel . oh , thank god . daniel : [ groans ] nicole : hey -- ow ! daniel : you 're out ! nicole : oh ! daniel : i won ! nicole : that was low ! daniel : no , it was n't ! nicole : that was so -- daniel : if you think you 're getting that , you got to get by me first . nicole : aah ! [ laughing ] daniel : no , you 're not ! you 're not gon na get by me first ! nicole : get -- daniel : never ! ha ha ! good try . huh ? never . eve : honey ... paige : did he say that he does n't want to be with me anymore ? eve : well , i just got a very clear impression that he just -- he ca n't be with you right now . paige : so you do n't actually know anything for sure . eve : well , i know that i do n't want to see you get hurt again , honey . paige : i ca n't handle this anymore , mom ! jj and i are going to be together , and there 's nothing you can do about that . eve : oh , yes , there is . i 'm not going to let you be with that boy . i 'm gon na make sure of it . jennifer : hey . i do n't know what you think you did ... but i do know that i 'm here , whatever you need , no matter what . jj : you 're the best . sometimes i , uh ... i do n't know why you put up with me . jennifer : i do -- because you 're my boy , and i love you . and there is nothing that you can say to me that will ever change that . jj : i 'm not sure i can tell you this even if i want to . jennifer : why , honey ? jj : because , it 's ... man , this is really hard . like i said , it really does n't have to do with dad . jennifer : then what ? what is it about ? [ doorbell rings ] maggie : okay . [ sighs ] whoever this is , they 're really impatient . melanie ? melanie : surprise . maggie : oh !
jennifer wanted to know what happened between eve and jj . victor overheard sonny leaving a message to will . victor did n't think it was good that will did n't care enough about their relationship to get back to sonny . eric talked about moving on with his life . sonny explained to victor that will cared about him . victor wanted to know how much he knows chad . victor told sonny how chad was going to be working at dimera enterprises . chad told jordan that he 's co - ceo at dimera enterprises . jennifer demanded to know what happened between eve and jj . eve decided to tell jennifer the truth about what she overheard . victor warned sonny that his last name is kiriakis and chad is a dimera . victor reminded him that the two should n't mix . jordan was happy that chad got the promotion until she found out that he was working with kate .
<s>[INST] chad : because i 've known you for a long time , t , and i know sometimes you have trouble keeping your mouth shut . i 'm counting on you . all right , do n't let me down . hey . jordan : hey . chad : i 've been trying to reach you . jordan : yeah , your butler told me where to go , but i got lost . chad : uh , look , something 's happened , and i want you to hear it from me . jordan : okay . chad : and i hope it does n't cause any problems between us . jordan : why would it ? chad : i 'll let you be the judge of that . sonny : hey , will . it 's me again . uh , if you 'd call me back , i would n't have to leave you all these messages and texts . i miss you , and i love you . i hope everything 's okay . how long have you been there ? victor : long enough to know that your marriage is in trouble . marlena : this is so nice . you have n't invited me to lunch in ages . eric : i have an ulterior motive . marlena : you do ? eric : mm - hmm . i decided to take a big step , and i wanted to tell you . i 'm moving . paige : it 's possible . i know her . what happened that night really did something to her head . for some reason she really , really regrets sleeping with that guy . daphne : paige , i do n't get it . why would your mom talk to you about stuff like that ? paige : okay , i know it seems weird , but she kind of had to tell me . when i got home , the guy was still in her bedroom . daphne : oh , my god . i thought you said you did n't see him . paige : i did n't . but i saw his coat in the kitchen . daniel : hey . nicole : oh , hi . uh , what did you buy ? daniel : oh , uh ... this . nicole : wow . all right . now you and parker can play in the living room without breaking anything . daniel : parker and i go to the softball diamonds now . he 's getting pretty good at hitting off a tee . this is for you . maggie : thanks , abigail , for coming by , sweetheart ! i hope your mom likes the recipe ! [ laughs ] [ sighs ] daniel : oh ... maggie : i do n't think i 've ever seen you with a money clip . daniel : no , no , no , that 's jj 's . he borrowed my coat , and it was in the pocket . maggie : abigail ! if you see jj ... [ sighs ] her windows are up . she ca n't hear me . well , at least i tried . eve : face it , jj . even if we wanted to , we could n't go back and change what happened that night . jennifer : and exactly what happened ? and what night are we talking about ? jj : mom ? eve : hey , jennifer . jj : i thought you were n't coming back till later . jennifer : yeah , well , i got an earlier flight . would you mind telling me what the two of you were talking about so intently ? eve : it was n't intense . jennifer : okay , well , something happened , and i want to know what it is . sonny : uncle vic , my marriage is not in trouble . victor : is will still in l.a. with sami ? and he ca n't be bothered to come in from the pool long enough to return your calls ? sonny : he 's not sitting around the pool . he 's busy . victor : doing what ? sonny : i do n't know exactly . victor : and you do n't see that as trouble ? jordan : did something bad happen ? chad : not from where i 'm standing . i 'm pretty psyched . jordan : okay , well , then why would it be something bad for you and me ? chad : well , i saw your reaction to this house , and i know that most of the people in this town have a pretty negative opinion about the dimera family , with good reason . jordan : well , if i had a problem with you being a dimera , i would have said so already . chad : but i was n't a high - profile member of the family before ... like my brother and father and sister . but i will be once i become co - ceo of dimera enterprises . nicole : wow . you should n't have . daniel : i thought we could use this to work on your hand - eye coordination . nicole : my hand - eye coordination , excuse me , is freaking great . daniel : oh , so you meant to almost kill me with that football . nicole : do n't blame me if you ca n't catch a pass . daniel : wow . is that how you 're spinning that ? nicole : mm - hmm . daniel : you do n't remember the screaming ? you do n't remember the expressions of remorse ? nicole : so what 's that for ? daniel : oh , it 's to keep you from maiming anyone else .. and the game this time ... dodgeball . nicole : all right , even i know that that is yet another team sport . daniel : well , if we play the regular way , you 're just gon na be annihilated , so we 're gon na play one - on - one dodgeball to give you a sporting chance . nicole : you ca n't be serious . daniel : check your phone . nicole : check my phone . daniel : yep . nicole : okay . `` this is a formal challenge for a rematch this afternoon . `` you are serious . daniel : dead serious . paige : when my mom found out that she could n't have the surgery and could n't sing again , she and i were fighting over jj . so i was n't there for her when she found out . daphne : so she picked up a guy , and then she shared all about her one - night stand with her daughter ? paige : no , she did n't share all about it , daphne . she did n't actually tell me . when i started to , you know , kind of catch on , she did n't really have a choice but to be honest with me . daphne : no choice ? i 'm sorry . i just -- i really do n't get that . i mean , why could n't she have just made something up ? paige : [ sighs ] i should n't have said anything to you . look , i know my mom and i may have some issues , but i know she loves me . people are always judging her because she 's beautiful and she 's fun , and , yeah , guys like her . but i still wo n't let anybody put her down , including you . jj : i 'm really glad you 're back . how 's grandma doing ? jennifer : she 's great . she 's good as new . eve : you know , you two probably have a lot of catching up to do , so i 'm just -- jennifer : you did n't answer my question . and neither did you . marlena : well , i 'm ... i 'm surprised ... and i guess a bit upset , but .. you know , you and sami are both adults , and if you want to move away , you 're allowed to do that , i suppose . eric : mom ... marlena : what ? eric : i 'm just moving a few blocks away . marlena : what ? eric : [ laughs ] marlena : why the big buildup ? come on , i thought you were moving to guam or something . eric : well , the big buildup was because i know how everybody in the family feels about me living here . and in case grandma needs anyone ... marlena : oh , well , grandma has children and grandchildren . she 'll be fine . she can call upon anybody , and , besides , you have to get on with your life . eric : get on with my life ... that 's code . i think we both know what that really means . daniel : so , after you nailed me with the football and the pain subsided enough for me to even begin to think clearly , i realized that you were trying to do guy things with me because you were being a good friend . nicole : with lousy hand - eye coordination ? daniel : well , uh ... yeah . yeah . anyway , you know , i do n't know if you noticed , but my life is n't exactly overflowing with friends these days , and i do n't know if i could afford to just throw away one of my closest friends just because she , you know , almost killed me . nicole : ugh . how i 've missed you insulting me and making jokes at my expense ... [ both chuckle ] nicole : and ... being my friend . daniel : yeah , same here . sonny : will is not hanging around the pool . he 's taking care of his daughter , and he 's helping his mom , his little brother , and his little sisters deal with the fact that their husband and father was murdered . i 'm proud of him for that . so do n't start with me , please . victor : i 'm just saying . sonny : i know you 're just saying . i know what you 're saying . but i am half of the problem . victor : how do you figure that ? sonny : 'cause i 've been totally focused on getting this new place on the south side in shape . victor : the new place is one of the reasons i 'm here . i understand you 're running into one problem after another . sonny : so it 's not just my personal life i 'm screwing up . it 's my business too . victor : i know you want this place to work , but sometimes wanting is not enough . sonny : uncle vic , have n't you figured out that i 'm not in the mood for one of your lectures ? victor : fine . i 'll get right to the point . how far in debt are you to chad ? chad : you 're not saying anything . jordan : so you 're the boss of all this . i mean , what does that involve ? chad : look , i 'm still gon na have time for a personal life . jordan : well , i appreciate you telling me this in person . i mean , i would hate to read about this on the financial page . i do n't really read the financial page . chad : and it does n't change the way you feel about me ? jordan : if you thought i would be impressed because you 're some big shot now , you have got me all wrong . chad : i was hoping you would say that . jordan : congratulations . daphne : i was n't putting your mom down ... exactly . i was talking about what this has got to be like for you . paige : do you know what my mom 's life was like ? daphne : no . paige : she did n't even know who her father and mother were until she was a teenager . so maybe she 's too protective of me now , but she 's always there when i need her , and she needs me now , and we -- we stand up for each other . daphne : fine . i get it . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , okay ? really sorry . i got to get to class . maggie : ooh ! oh ! paige : oh , excuse me ! maggie : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . hi . paige : mrs. kiriakis ! maggie : hi , paige ! how are you ? paige : nice to see you . maggie : i 've been trying to call jj . his message box is full . paige : oh , uh , guess he does n't delete his voice mails . maggie : so how are you two doing ? jennifer : the only reason i can think of for you to be in that intense of a conversation with jj is you came here to talk about jack 's book royalties again . eve : well , jennifer , you are wrong ... again . jennifer : okay , someone better tell me what happened the other night . eve : you know i do n't approve of jj and paige . jennifer : is that what this is about ? did something happen between you and paige ? jj : well , yeah . eve : this also has something to do with me too . i guess we better tell her everything , jj ... even if we do n't want to . sonny : look , chad is one of my best friends . victor : money can come between best friends . your neck is on the line right now , and there are big changes happening in your friend 's life . sonny : what kind of changes ? victor : [ sighs ] i 'll let him tell you about that . but no matter how he tries to spin it , do n't ever forget his name is dimera , and yours is kiriakis ... and that never goes away . chad : so we 're good ? jordan : we 're good . chad : i have to ask you to keep what i told you to yourself ... just for a few hours . jordan : okay . chad : if too many people find out before the big announcement , i will be in big ... big trouble . jordan : why ? chad : i ca n't explain . jordan : well , i really appreciate that you trusted me enough to tell me ahead of time . chad : do you still want to have dinner ? jordan : sure ... i mean , now that you 're some big - shot ceo . chad : ah , well , i got your message earlier this morning , so either you had insider information , or you were willing to have dinner with the lowly co- owner of a coffee house . jordan : [ chuckles ] so now you are a co - owner and a co - ceo . so your co - owner is sonny , so who 's your co ... wait a minute . it 's kate , is n't it ? was that her idea ? marlena : i just love it when you tell me what i 'm thinking . eric : you know what ? i 'm not getting this apartment because i 'm ready to start dating , mom . marlena : you know what ? i do n't want to see you go through your life alone . and maybe this apartment is just the beginning of a transition . do n't look at me like that . look , you 've had wonderful relationships in the past . i hope that you have n't given up on this just be -- eric : because of what ?

'cause she 's paige 's mom . eve : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] jennifer : is eve the one who told paige about your dad and aunt kayla ? is she trying to cause trouble ? eve : no , i am not . if i wanted paige to know that information , i could have told her way before this . jj : it 's true , mom . she did n't tell paige . eve : but to be truthful here , i am partly responsible . jennifer : oh , surprise , surprise , eve . jj was so happy with paige , and now he is completely miserable , and i am telling you , if you have anything to do with it , you are gon na be so sorry you were even born . eric : mom , nicole was the first love of my life . i 'm not sure if i 'll ever get completely over her . but there were other important times in my life ... like colorado ... africa . remember when i was studying for the priesthood ? i mean , those were unbelievable moments , and nicole had no part of that . marlena : i 'm not exactly sure what you 're saying . eric : i think maybe you 're just worrying for no reason . listen , i know i may not be completely over nicole , but i know that there 's no going back . on that , i am really clear . daniel : oh , thank you for taking the time . maggie : oh , please . come on , what 's on your mind ? daniel : ah , well , jennifer is -- is coming home tonight . maggie : yeah , i know . daniel : and i wanted you to know that i 've decided that i need to see her again . maggie : okay . daniel : i just think that i need to clear the air about anything i might have said that -- that ... that hurt her . maggie : i wish it could 've worked out . daniel : i know you do , but i do n't want you to feel awkward with jennifer because it did n't . maggie : honey ... i have known jennifer all her life . she 's family . jennifer and i will always be fine . daniel : good ... because one thing we still have in common is how much we both still need you . maggie : aw . that 's so sweet . nicole : eric . eric : hi . nicole : where you going ? ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? eve : the reason why i 'm a part of this is because , yes , kayla and i were talking about it . but , unfortunately , by mistake , paige overheard it . jennifer : oh , yeah , i see . eve : and the reason i 'm here now is because i just happened to be driving by . i saw your son coming in the door , and i thought , well , i 'd just stop in for a minute to see how he was doing . jennifer : oh , yeah , because you care so much about my son 's feelings . did you and paige break up over this ? jj : we 're taking a break . jennifer : so it 's not over . eve : jj ... you and paige are both young , and i know it hurts . but one thing that i 've learned in this life is that you ca n't go back and undo the past . jennifer : even if the past was his father 's and not his ? eve : once things have happened , you ca n't go back and change it , and you ca n't change people 's feelings about it , and that is exactly what i was trying to tell jj when you walked in just now . jennifer : i want to speak to jj alone . eve : fine . i think we have said everything we need to say to each other , right , jj ? jennifer : oh , honey . jordan : hi . it 's me . um , listen , i do n't know if i made this clear , but , look , if this makes you happy , then i am really happy for you , chad . i really mean that . dr. evans , hi . marlena : hi . sorry , but i could n't help overhearing . chad 's had some good news ? jordan : yeah , you know him ? marlena : i do . he 's a friend of will and sonny 's , and he 's had kind of a hard time . i 'd say he deserves some good news . jordan : well , from what he says , you and i may be the only two in salem who feel that way . chad : i 'm glad we had a chance to talk , sir . yeah , i want to have a good working relationship with all the members of the board . yeah , thanks . hey , buddy . who 's minding the store ? sonny : well , there 's two of them now , so i thought we should touch base . chad : great . i trust your judgment . you know , i 'm the one who told you to just go for it . sonny : well , if you trust me so much , how come i do n't know anything about this big change coming in your life ? maggie : now that parker is with chloe , victor and i expect you to come to dinner at least , um , once a week ? daniel : oh , please , i 'm gon na be here more often that that . trust me . maggie : even if you do n't need a babysitter ? daniel : yeah , well , one thing i learned from watching jennifer is , no matter how busy your day is or how demanding your job is , you know , do n't take anyone you love for granted . and i never will again . nicole : are you going on a trip or something ? eric : no . nicole : are you , like , leaving ? eric : no , i 'm just moving ... a few blocks from here . nicole : oh . great . i mean ... your family must be really happy . so where is your new place ?

hey . daniel ? eve : i just want you to know that i , um ... ran into jj today . paige : you did ? where ? eve : well , i did n't exactly run into him . i was driving by his house , and i saw that he was coming in , so i thought i would just stop by and talk to him . paige : why did you do that ? eve : well , honey , you know , you say that he 's trying to break it off with you , right ? and i just -- i just wanted to know why . paige : mom , that was none of your business ! eve : well , honey , i just wanted to know what you were up against , you know ? paige : and now you do ? eve : yeah , i do , and ... honey , i know that you really did n't want this to happen , but ... i think ... jj needs some time away from you , honey . i - i - i 'm sorry . and i know that you do n't want that , but i think he 's ready to let you go , and for your own good , sweetheart , i think you need to let that happen . jennifer : here , sit down . come on . talk to me . jj : paige , um ... she really , really likes kayla , and she looks up to her , and after finding out what dad did , she just could n't deal with it . jennifer : yeah . um ... you know , honey , maybe i could talk to her . jj : what ? no . jennifer : yeah , i mean , i think that i could get through to her maybe . jj : mom , no , you ca n't . jennifer : honey , at least let me try . jj : i - i said no . please . jennifer : okay , i 'm not going to push it , but i would love to explain to her ... that the same man that did that to kayla is not the same man that raised you , baby . jj : look , everything is just a mess right now , and paige sees me in a different way , and there 's no going back . so maybe just the best thing to do is -- is just to -- to break up with her . jennifer : okay , and that 's exactly what eve wants you to do , honey . jj : i just -- i do n't see how i can be with her . jennifer : what are you talking about ? this is n't your fault ! please , i mean , if your dad could see you right now , he would be beside himself . he loved you so much , and he would hate it if he thought that something that he did in his past was hurting you right now . he would hate that . jj : but it 's not about that , mom . it 's not about what dad did . my budget used to be hard on me . marlena : chad 's had his share of misery just being part of the dimera family . first he took a bullet meant for ej and then watched ej die so violently , and now he 's in mourning . but i must tell you , the dimera family ... they 've hurt so many people in this town . jordan : and you 're one of them , right ? marlena : i am . my children included in that . and i 'll tell you something -- that 's not so easy to forget . chad : i knew t could n't keep his damn mouth shut . sonny : i ca n't believe you told t and you did n't tell me . chad : well , i did n't confide in him . he overheard a phone call and put it together . i was n't supposed to tell anyone . there 's going to be a big announcement about it in a few hours . sonny : i 'm your partner ! i 'm your best friend , and you could n't tell me ? chad : no ! no one was supposed to know that i was going to be announced as co- ceo of dimera enterprises . eric : [ grunts ] be ever so humble . [ sighs ] heavenly father , i just pray that you bless this new home ... and bless this new start .

[ laughing ] daniel : no , you 're not ! you 're not gon na get by me first ! nicole : get -- daniel : never ! ha ha ! good try . huh ? never . eve : honey ... paige : did he say that he does n't want to be with me anymore ? eve : well , i just got a very clear impression that he just -- he ca n't be with you right now . paige : so you do n't actually know anything for sure . eve : well , i know that i do n't want to see you get hurt again , honey . paige : i ca n't handle this anymore , mom ! jj and i are going to be together , and there 's nothing you can do about that . eve : oh , yes , there is . i 'm not going to let you be with that boy . i 'm gon na make sure of it . jennifer : hey . i do n't know what you think you did ... but i do know that i 'm here , whatever you need , no matter what . jj : you 're the best . sometimes i , uh ... i do n't know why you put up with me . jennifer : i do -- because you 're my boy , and i love you . and there is nothing that you can say to me that will ever change that . jj : i 'm not sure i can tell you this even if i want to . jennifer : why , honey ? jj : because , it 's ... man , this is really hard . like i said , it really does n't have to do with dad . jennifer : then what ? what is it about ?

evangeline : i 'm still trying to help kelly from losing custody of her son . john : these divorces -- you have to wonder how the parents , they -- they love the kid or they just love winning . evangeline : i wish i could say it was the kid . anyway , what 's going on around here ?

blair : oh , no thank you . i 'm fine . david : something simple , club sandwich ? no crusts . tico : thank you , bertram . please , sit . david : thank you . now , i know that you are a very busy man , so let 's get right down to it . tico : mm - hmm . david : the european version of `` craze `` that i mentioned to you -- tico : yes ? david : i have crunched the numbers , and you could stand to make a very healthy profit in less than three years . tico : hmm . interesting . blair : what i 'm interested in is all the publicity that `` craze `` will get here in the united states . tico : thank you . david : mm - hmm . tico : i will study these carefully . but , actually , i am more interested in buying or funding a newspaper in the area . david : what kind of newspaper ? tabloid ? tico : no , no . something like `` the banner sun . `` newspapers can be very influential , even though sometimes they do n't generate large profits . blair : really ? it sounds to me like you 're interested in politics . tico : i 'm interested in a lot of things . nora : what if they come in here ? after shooting all the hostages , they come in here and they shoot us ? bo : they wo n't . nora : how do you know ? oh -- because you 'll shoot them . ok . actually , maybe -- maybe it would be a good thing if they came in here and tried to hurt us because then -- then they 'd get the door open and you could shoot them and then we could leave , unless , of course , they took their time and then we all had frostbite and -- and your fingers were too cold to pull the trigger and then we 'd be -- bo : well , look -- no , no , neither one of us has frostbite yet . right ? nora : yet . bo : yeah . nora : yeah , that 's cold comfort . ha - ha ! `` that 's cold comfort . `` bo : yeah . nora : i said `` cold comfort . `` bo : that 's funny . nora : yeah . bo : you know nick mano ? he 's matthew 's -- nora : scout -- bo : den father in the scouts , right . nora : yeah . bo : yeah . he owns a camera store . it 's right next door to this meat market . he waved at us when we walked by . nora : oh , how nice . so what are you doing ? you want to get a discount on a camera or something ? bo : no . his store has to be right on the other side of this wall , which means that this is a shared pipe between the two . nora : well , you 're going to have to do something bigger than that to get his attention , for goodness ' sake . bo : i do n't want to just get his attention , ok ? i want him to know what 's going on over here . i do n't want him rushing over and walking right into the middle of an attempted robbery . nora : is that morse code ? bo : yeah , he teaches it to the scouts . i 'm hoping that he 'll understand what i want him to do . nora : which is ? bo : call the cops . david : now , with that euro version of `` craze , `` you get back to me , ok ? there 's no time like the present . tico : i 'll let you know . and , ms. cramer -- blair : mm - hmm ? tico : hopefully , we can talk in the near future about my newspaper idea . i know you have experience in that area . blair : well , i 'm very flattered that you would even think of me , but i 'm very busy with `` craze `` these days . david : hey , hey ! mellow ! she already said do n't worry about that . blair : actually , my fiancé and i are interested in a larger estate . todd : what do you mean we ca n't get asa 's property yet ? mrs. bigelow : there are legal steps that have to be followed . todd : asa gave blair 12 acres in the divorce decree . the house , the stables -- they 're on blair 's acres . mrs. bigelow : i know that , mr. manning , but it was a clerical error . the decimal point got left out . mr. buchanan thought he was leaving her 12/100 of one acre . todd : who cares what he thought ? what matters in the law is what you do , right ? mrs. bigelow : the problem is it 's been over a decade since mr. buchanan divorced blair . for her to take possession now , she 'd have to file a claim , and mr. buchanan has a certain time period during which he can contest the claim . todd : can we get around that ? mrs. bigelow : i assume you do n't want me to arrange for mr. buchanan to be killed or maimed in some horrible way ? todd : no . i do want him to go ballistic , however . i want him to feel totally helpless . kevin , too . mrs. bigelow : well , assuming that mr. buchanan wo n't waive his objections , you could get him to sign papers giving up his right to contest any details of the divorce decree . todd : without knowing what he 's signing ? mrs. bigelow : of course . plus , you 'd have to get mr. buchanan to sell you all the buildings that sit on that site . todd : including the mansion . mrs. bigelow : yes . then he 'd have to think that he was getting rid of it at an advantage . quite a tall order , if you ask me . todd : not necessarily . john : when dad died ; mom was a wreck . she did a real good job trying to hide it from mikey and me , but there was nights i 'd just -- i 'd wake up and i 'd hear her . evangeline : crying ? john : neither one of us , mike and i -- we did n't know what to do . evangeline : i 'm not sure you could do anything . you were young , you know . grief is like dreams . there 's no logic ; there 's no answers . it just is , and then it 's gone . or at least it 's less . john : i remember i could -- i 'd get out of bed and i 'd go down the hallway , and i 'd just sit outside her room and wait for her , just wait for her to stop crying , and then i 'd go back to bed , and i 'd fall asleep . what ? evangeline : now i see where it comes from . the silent waiting , the not saying exactly how you feel . john : no , that 's interrogation technique . that 's -- that 's that stuff i learned at quantico . evangeline : no , no , i think i 'm on to something . john : yeah , if you say so . evangeline : well , i assume i 'm not the first person to tell you that you -- you could work on expressing yourself a little bit more . john : no , you 're not the first person , but i 'm working on it with you . evangeline : thank you . and i think we had a little semi - date here . what do you think ? john : this ? no , this does n't count as a date . you know , a date is in a restaurant or , you know , like dinner and dancing -- what people do . evangeline : well , whatever we have to do , i ca n't wait . john : yeah ? evangeline : yeah . daniel : uh , hey . hey , guys . look , i do n't mean to interrupt , but have either one of you seen nora ? john : still have n't heard anything ? daniel : no . no , nothing . evangeline : well , did you try her cell phone ?

who 's -- what 's going to happen to matthew ? bo : look , we are not going to die , all right ? we 're not going to die in here . we are not going to die today . nora : you 're always so confident and positive . matthew and i have been very lucky to have you around for the last year and a half . bo : oh , come on . no , i 'm the lucky one . i think we -- we made a pretty good little family . nora : yeah . yeah . i do n't know what our life would have been like without you . i do n't know what it would have been -- bo : you 'll never have to find out . jessica : antonio , we 'll come back . antonio : i do n't care if he 's in the middle of a brazilian bikini wax ! i want to speak to him now ! tico : it 's ok , bertram . it 's ok . my cousin and his fiancée -- antonio : my mother -- where is she ?

john : yeah , he told me you were trapped in there . there was a robbery in progress . i brought a team in . we grabbed the guys on the way out . nora : they did n't shoot the manager , did they ? john : no , no , they were just trying to scare him into giving up his pin number for his bank card . bo : oh , that 's great . nora : oh ! oh , my god ! it must be 50 degrees warmer out here . john : ah . does this mean you 're no longer going to complain about the broken air conditioner at the station ?

antonio : no . but i 'm sure it has something to do with september 17 , 1976 . tico : that 's the date my mother and my brother were killed . angelina told me to remember it as a memorial . why would that have anything to do with your mother going away ? antonio : that 's what i want to know . jessica : someone left an envelope for antonio , and all that it said was that date . bertram : sir , angelina is n't in her room , and i did n't see a purse . she may have left the house . bo : you know , nora , it really would n't hurt for you to get yourself checked out at the hospital . nora : you know what ?

asa : oh , i did ? well , i must have just been too busy . kevin : you know what ? since you 're still the chairman , you know the board 's going to insist that you take a physical , so why do n't you let the doctor look at you while he 's here ? asa : no . hell , no . i hate doctors poking me and asking foolish questions . kevin : well , we would n't have to get an appointment later , grandpa . renee : yeah , that 's great ! darling , it 's easier . he 's here . asa : how dumb do you two think i am ? kevin : grandpa , come on . asa : this fella right here is not a real doctor . he 's a shrink ! and you two still believe that i am not playing with a full deck ! renee : darling , we -- we are just concerned . asa : how many times do i have to tell you ? i faked those symptoms to fool the damn judge ! kevin : i know that , all right ? renee knows that . just let the doctor confirm it . starr : am i ever going to get an answer ? todd : starr , i do n't have a job myself right now . kevin got me booted , remember ? how can i give travis ' mom a job ? starr : you do n't want travis to move back to llanview , do you ? todd : travis can live anywhere he wants . starr : dad , be honest . you have a problem with me having a love life . i 'm not going to be a kid forever . blair : david , todd is just restless right now , and i 'm sure if he were still the editor of `` the banner sun `` that he would n't be bothering you . david : oh , no , he 's not bothering me . blair : good . david : he 's driving me insane . thanks for the coffee . blair : would you like for me to talk to him for you ?

starr : what about asa ? todd : that 's right . uh -- well , come back soon because it 's almost time to start operation eviction . nora : did they shoot the manager ? bo : no , i think that that was a warning shot . you see , robbers like to control people ; they like people to cooperate . they 're not killers by nature . nora : until one day -- bo : nora , look , i 'll get us out of here , all right ? have i ever not gotten us out of a tight spot , hmm ? nora : i ca n't remember . bo : ok . nora : i ca n't remember anything except for how cold i am . bo : all right . nora : ok . so what 's the plan ?

hey , those coals are perfect -- white hot . nora : hmm . bo : you smell that meat cooking ? nora : mmm . bo : mmm . nora : mmm . you 've got a bonfire here . the grease is going to go down and the flames are going to get higher and higher and higher . what is this , psychology for the frozen ? bo : it made you stop shivering . nora : mm - hmm , yeah it did . if you 're going to do something , please do it soon . bo : yeah , i 'm working on it . i 'm working on it . what i got to do -- i got to get in touch with somebody at the station . antonio : my mother in the kitchen ? waitress : oh , no . she left a while ago with her suitcase . jessica : what ? antonio : suitcase ? jessica : did she say where she was going ? antonio : well , wait a second . no , she had to have said something . waitress : maybe she went on vacation . she cleaned out the register before she left . antonio : come on . todd : ah ! oh , jeez . mrs. bigelow , do n't sneak up on me like that . you 're -- mrs. bigelow : i was n't sneaking up . you walked past without noticing . that can be dangerous , you know . one must always be alert . how do you think i outlived my husband , winston ? i saw the bus coming . todd : let 's not do any trips down memory lane for now . i want to know about asa buchanan 's estate . am i going to be able to take it away from him today or not ? mrs. bigelow : there 's a problem . john : i knew that was you . evangeline : oh , you did , did you ? john : i 'm on to your perfume . evangeline : you 're not supposed to tell a girl you can smell her coming , john . john : well , it 's good perfume . evangeline : what , flowers in springtime ? john : that would be the one . how 's your morning going ? evangeline : i 'm still trying to help kelly from losing custody of her son . john : these divorces -- you have to wonder how the parents , they -- they love the kid or they just love winning . evangeline : i wish i could say it was the kid . anyway , what 's going on around here ?

evangeline : no . no , it 's challenging . you always leave me with something to hope for . and if this keeps up , you know , i 'm going to start having dreams about you breaking down , telling everything . john : on `` oprah `` ? i have that same dream all the time . [ evangeline laughs ] evangeline : my guess is that r.j. played cat and mouse like a pro and you got a little put out . am i right ? john : huh . evangeline : oh , god . you are impossible . i quit , i quit -- for now . john : hmm . evangeline : what 's up for lunch ? john : lunch -- well , if bo gets back here sometime soon , i can go out , but -- evangeline : oh , forget that , forget that . a workaholic knows a workaholic . greek . thai . chinese . asa : i do have a problem , doc . you . dr. damron : now , sir , this type of behavior is uncalled for ! asa : no , it is n't . renee : asa ! kevin : grandpa -- renee : darling , he was just trying to help ! kevin : now , can we just talk about this logically for one minute ? asa : i am as sane as anyone . and that is all the logic you two need , hmm . hmm ! kevin : well , that was a disaster . renee : thank you for trying to help . know how full your plate is at the moment . kevin : oh , no , i 'm fine . my lawyers are taking care of kelly , and ace will be back here to stay . right now i 'm going to start packing for texas . renee : so you -- you think it 's a good idea forcing duke to come to school up here ? kevin : i think it 'll be good for him . i want all the buchanans under one roof .

blair : oh , no thank you . i 'm fine . david : something simple , club sandwich ? no crusts . tico : thank you , bertram . please , sit . david : thank you . now , i know that you are a very busy man , so let 's get right down to it . tico : mm - hmm . david : the european version of `` craze `` that i mentioned to you -- tico : yes ? david : i have crunched the numbers , and you could stand to make a very healthy profit in less than three years . tico : hmm . interesting . blair : what i 'm interested in is all the publicity that `` craze `` will get here in the united states . tico : thank you . david : mm - hmm . tico : i will study these carefully . but , actually , i am more interested in buying or funding a newspaper in the area . david : what kind of newspaper ? tabloid ? tico : no , no . something like `` the banner sun . `` newspapers can be very influential , even though sometimes they do n't generate large profits . blair : really ? it sounds to me like you 're interested in politics . tico : i 'm interested in a lot of things . nora : what if they come in here ? after shooting all the hostages , they come in here and they shoot us ? bo : they wo n't . nora : how do you know ? oh -- because you 'll shoot them . ok . actually , maybe -- maybe it would be a good thing if they came in here and tried to hurt us because then -- then they 'd get the door open and you could shoot them and then we could leave , unless , of course , they took their time and then we all had frostbite and -- and your fingers were too cold to pull the trigger and then we 'd be -- bo : well , look -- no , no , neither one of us has frostbite yet . right ? nora : yet . bo : yeah . nora : yeah , that 's cold comfort . ha - ha ! `` that 's cold comfort . `` bo : yeah . nora : i said `` cold comfort . `` bo : that 's funny . nora : yeah . bo : you know nick mano ? he 's matthew 's -- nora : scout -- bo : den father in the scouts , right . nora : yeah . bo : yeah . he owns a camera store . it 's right next door to this meat market . he waved at us when we walked by . nora : oh , how nice . so what are you doing ? you want to get a discount on a camera or something ? bo : no . his store has to be right on the other side of this wall , which means that this is a shared pipe between the two . nora : well , you 're going to have to do something bigger than that to get his attention , for goodness ' sake . bo : i do n't want to just get his attention , ok ? i want him to know what 's going on over here . i do n't want him rushing over and walking right into the middle of an attempted robbery . nora : is that morse code ? bo : yeah , he teaches it to the scouts . i 'm hoping that he 'll understand what i want him to do . nora : which is ? bo : call the cops . david : now , with that euro version of `` craze , `` you get back to me , ok ? there 's no time like the present . tico : i 'll let you know . and , ms. cramer -- blair : mm - hmm ? tico : hopefully , we can talk in the near future about my newspaper idea . i know you have experience in that area . blair : well , i 'm very flattered that you would even think of me , but i 'm very busy with `` craze `` these days . david : hey , hey ! mellow ! she already said do n't worry about that . blair : actually , my fiancé and i are interested in a larger estate . todd : what do you mean we ca n't get asa 's property yet ? mrs. bigelow : there are legal steps that have to be followed . todd : asa gave blair 12 acres in the divorce decree . the house , the stables -- they 're on blair 's acres . mrs. bigelow : i know that , mr. manning , but it was a clerical error . the decimal point got left out . mr. buchanan thought he was leaving her 12/100 of one acre . todd : who cares what he thought ? what matters in the law is what you do , right ? mrs. bigelow : the problem is it 's been over a decade since mr. buchanan divorced blair . for her to take possession now , she 'd have to file a claim , and mr. buchanan has a certain time period during which he can contest the claim . todd : can we get around that ? mrs. bigelow : i assume you do n't want me to arrange for mr. buchanan to be killed or maimed in some horrible way ? todd : no . i do want him to go ballistic , however . i want him to feel totally helpless . kevin , too . mrs. bigelow : well , assuming that mr. buchanan wo n't waive his objections , you could get him to sign papers giving up his right to contest any details of the divorce decree . todd : without knowing what he 's signing ? mrs. bigelow : of course . plus , you 'd have to get mr. buchanan to sell you all the buildings that sit on that site . todd : including the mansion . mrs. bigelow : yes . then he 'd have to think that he was getting rid of it at an advantage . quite a tall order , if you ask me . todd : not necessarily . john : when dad died ; mom was a wreck . she did a real good job trying to hide it from mikey and me , but there was nights i 'd just -- i 'd wake up and i 'd hear her . evangeline : crying ? john : neither one of us , mike and i -- we did n't know what to do . evangeline : i 'm not sure you could do anything . you were young , you know . grief is like dreams . there 's no logic ; there 's no answers . it just is , and then it 's gone . or at least it 's less . john : i remember i could -- i 'd get out of bed and i 'd go down the hallway , and i 'd just sit outside her room and wait for her , just wait for her to stop crying , and then i 'd go back to bed , and i 'd fall asleep . what ? evangeline : now i see where it comes from . the silent waiting , the not saying exactly how you feel . john : no , that 's interrogation technique . that 's -- that 's that stuff i learned at quantico . evangeline : no , no , i think i 'm on to something . john : yeah , if you say so . evangeline : well , i assume i 'm not the first person to tell you that you -- you could work on expressing yourself a little bit more . john : no , you 're not the first person , but i 'm working on it with you . evangeline : thank you . and i think we had a little semi - date here . what do you think ? john : this ? no , this does n't count as a date . you know , a date is in a restaurant or , you know , like dinner and dancing -- what people do . evangeline : well , whatever we have to do , i ca n't wait . john : yeah ? evangeline : yeah . daniel : uh , hey . hey , guys . look , i do n't mean to interrupt , but have either one of you seen nora ? john : still have n't heard anything ? daniel : no . no , nothing . evangeline : well , did you try her cell phone ? daniel : evangeline , i 've tried everything . i 'm sorry to bother you guys . well , i 'm still going down to the shore . `` dear nora -- i waited as long as i could . i guess you got cold feet . `` nora : oh god , bo . you 've sent that message four times . he probably ca n't hear because he 's in the front of the store , and the pipe probably goes to the back of the store . or -- or he 's locked up for the day . that 's what 's happened . he 's locked up for the day and he 's gone home , and nobody 's in the store to hear it . oh , god , we 're going to freeze to death . bo : i think that you need to keep walking . nora : do n't talk , just walk . i get it . i get it . bo -- what if we die ? who 's -- what 's going to happen to matthew ? bo : look , we are not going to die , all right ? we 're not going to die in here . we are not going to die today . nora : you 're always so confident and positive . matthew and i have been very lucky to have you around for the last year and a half . bo : oh , come on . no , i 'm the lucky one . i think we -- we made a pretty good little family . nora : yeah . yeah . i do n't know what our life would have been like without you . i do n't know what it would have been -- bo : you 'll never have to find out . jessica : antonio , we 'll come back . antonio : i do n't care if he 's in the middle of a brazilian bikini wax ! i want to speak to him now ! tico : it 's ok , bertram . it 's ok . my cousin and his fiancée -- antonio : my mother -- where is she ? answer me . bo : a lot of memories . nora : mm - hmm . bo : good . nora : yeah . bo : bad . nora : uh - huh . bo : we 're going to get out of this thing , nora . you know that , right ? we 're going to get out of here .

john : yeah , he told me you were trapped in there . there was a robbery in progress . i brought a team in . we grabbed the guys on the way out . nora : they did n't shoot the manager , did they ? john : no , no , they were just trying to scare him into giving up his pin number for his bank card . bo : oh , that 's great . nora : oh ! oh , my god ! it must be 50 degrees warmer out here . john : ah . does this mean you 're no longer going to complain about the broken air conditioner at the station ? nora : what , are you nuts ? of course i 'm going to keep complaining . it 's my prerogative to always complain if i want to . bo : it 's true . tico : why do n't we take this one step at a time , ok ? i do n't know where tia carlotta is , but rest assured that i will do everything in my power to find her . how long has she been missing ? jessica : apparently , she packed a bag this morning and did n't say a word to anyone . tico : ok . well , it 's not as though she has disappeared . i 'm not exactly sure why you would think i would know where she is . antonio : angelina -- i want to talk to her now . tico : have angelina come down . has tia carlotta ever done anything like this before ? antonio : no . but i 'm sure it has something to do with september 17 , 1976 . tico : that 's the date my mother and my brother were killed . angelina told me to remember it as a memorial . why would that have anything to do with your mother going away ? antonio : that 's what i want to know . jessica : someone left an envelope for antonio , and all that it said was that date . bertram : sir , angelina is n't in her room , and i did n't see a purse . she may have left the house . bo : you know , nora , it really would n't hurt for you to get yourself checked out at the hospital . nora : you know what ? i 'm fine . i really am . as a matter of fact , i feel like my body temperature is probably up to 80 degrees by now . bo : well , ok , your call . nora : here . bo : hey , john , ca n't thank you enough for coming through for us . nora : i did say thank you , did n't i ? did n't i thank you ? john : a few times , yeah . and bo 's the one that actually deserves the credit . bo : huh . nora : yes , he does . bo : oh , thanks . nora : really . i ca n't thank you enough . you -- you did n't let me down , as usual . daniel ! oh , my god , i forgot about daniel ! john : yeah , he was actually looking for you earlier , and i believe he wanted you to have this . nora : oh , man . `` dear nora -- i waited as long as i could . i guess you got cold feet . `` oh , if he only knew the half of it . bo : funny . nora : `` i guess you 're not over bo as much as you think . `` john : i guess colson called your house and your boy told him you went somewhere with bo . nora : oh , great . daniel 's voice : `` anyway , i 've decided to go to the shore alone . wish you were going with me , but , like the stones said , `` you ca n't always get what you want . `` i do care about you and hope in the end you get what you need . daniel . `` nora : great . todd : so , i need you to check out some of the -- mrs. bigelow : unconventional ways to use the property laws to your advantage . todd : there you go , mrs. bigelow . david : you on a diet ?

[ scene_break ] patrick : okay , you start talking . ethan : i was tending bar at a resort , playing poker on the side for some extra cash when holly blows in and cleans me out . holly : would you have rathered i let you win ? ethan : no , but i should have made you for somebody who was looking for me . luke : did she try to seduce you ? ethan : no . luke : well , that 's where you missed your first clue . holly : luke , he 's young enough to be -- luke : to be your son . holly : oh , you think you 're so clever . patrick : okay , luke , what 's your part in this ? did you and her -- luke : oh , yeah , and it was glorious . we both thought we were living on borrowed time . holly : we thought we were going to die . luke : we were both running for our lives . holly : in singapore . luke : why did n't you tell me you were pregnant ? holly : who says that i was ? ethan : so you were n't . holly : let 's not make assumptions . i need more champagne . patrick : okay , well , i 've heard enough . there 's a very , very simple solution to all this .

[ scene_break ] carly : i am so sorry that you feel like i abandoned you . and i 'm so sorry that i was n't here when you woke up , but i never once gave up hope that you were going to come back to us , not once . and look at you . you 're my handsome little baby . and you are , whether you like it or not , you 're my baby . and you come second to no one , michael , second to no one . michael : then why did you let jax take you away ? why were n't you here when i woke up ?

[ scene_break ] sam : how did michael seem to you ? jason : scared , confused , a little disconnected . sam : now , do you remember what it was like for you ? jason : yeah , i was overwhelmed . and so is michael . i can see it . everybody walks in with these expectations . it 's going to be impossible for him to meet any type of expectations at this point . he does n't even know what happened to him . the only thing he knows is that everything has changed around him . sam : yeah , it 's a lot to absorb . jason : yeah , yeah , it is . and sonny -- you know , i know that he loves michael , but he 's so eaten up with guilt right now , i just think he 's going to make things worse . sam : all right , speaking of sonny , has he told michael about claudia or the baby or marriage -- jason : no , nothing , not yet . sam : that 's great . he 's going to have to do that sometime . jason : he wants to tell michael about the shooting first . and i do n't think that 's going to help michael at all .

[ scene_break ] luke : so you want me to use my wife 's money to buy the truth about this boy 's paternity . english , you 're a laugh riot . holly : i did my research . she can afford it . ethan : oh , i get it . you want tracy so broke and pissed off that she 'll kick this cad to the curb . holly : smart boy . he reminds me of you . patrick : well , that 's it . i do n't need a dna test to prove that you guys are family . it 's obvious -- you 're all crazy . luke , congratulations -- it 's a boy . now , i 'm going upstairs to kiss my daughter , call my wife , and celebrate the ordinary joys of domesticity . and i never thought i 'd say that before . enjoy . luke : so your perfect scam here is that you and i take tracy 's money and we ride off into the sunset , together . and what about artful dodger ? we leave him here ? holly : is that a trick question ? luke : the question is , are the three of us related ? [ scene_break ] sam : well , you 've got to love sonny . it 's not enough that michael came out of the coma , that he 's got to make it all about himself and his own guilt . this kid needs a father who 's going to be solid right now , caring and compassionate , not someone who 's going to unload all over him . jason : sonny wants to tell michael the truth . he does n't want to lie . sam : okay , and the last thing that sonny thinks that he deserves is a kid that 's going to worship him . come on , do n't look at me like that . we both know it 's true . it 's very twisted . jason : okay , michael -- he wants to know what happened . i think we should tell him the truth . i just think it 's too soon to say anything . sam : yeah , but the question is , how much can michael actually handle , and what are the chances that he can relapse and go back into a coma ? [ scene_break ] carly : michael thinks that i gave up on him . jax : well , that 's funny , because you 're the only one who did n't . carly : he thinks we left the hospital to focus on the new baby and just forget about him . jax : you know that 's not true . look , when we left the room today , we had every reason to believe that he was n't going to wake up . carly : i knew better , jax . in my heart , i knew it , i knew it . [ carly sighs ] jax : well , then , i 'm the one who should feel bad , because i 'm the one who dragged you away from his bedside . look , we 'll explain it to michael , and he will understand why you were n't there when he woke up . just give him time , okay ? just give it time . carly : when he woke up , he must have been so scared and confused . can you just imagine ? i have to go back to the hospital . jax : no , no , no , you 've been through enough for one day , and so has michael -- carly : i have to go back to the hospital . i can not let michael go to bed thinking that i have abandoned him . i have to make sure that he knows how much i love him . [ scene_break ] sonny : it was supposed to be me . it should have been me . patrick did everything he could , but -- michael : i thought you said the surgery worked . sonny : it did , but this -- this was n't the first time . michael : how long ago was i shot ? sonny : a long time ago . you know , it was more than a year . you were in a coma . we did everything we could . we prayed for you . we hoped for the best . the doctors said you did n't have a chance . michael : a year ? that 's why i 'm so weak . i 've been in bed for more than a year . sonny : i 'm sorry , buddy . it was my -- i should have never -- i should have never had you come to that warehouse . i 'm your father , you know , and i put you at risk . if there 's one thing that i wanted to do right in my life -- i was supposed to do better . michael : you could n't have known . sonny : your mother would n't have let you come to that warehouse . i ignored the danger . i was supposed to protect you , and i failed . michael : stuff happens . sonny : stuff happens ? this is not `` stuff , `` buddy . we 're talking about your life . i almost lost you . you get that ? i am so sorry . michael : you do n't have to keep saying that . sonny : i ca n't say it enough . sonny : you are the most precious thing in my life . sonny : i do n't even have the right to ask your forgiveness . [ scene_break ] johnny : so you just whipped this up out of nothing ? olivia : well , there 's an old saying in my neighborhood . `` a woman who learns to cook rich keeps a poor man at home . `` [ johnny laughs ] johnny : i like that . olivia : what can i say ; i 'm a product of my environment . johnny : yeah , so am i , only i did n't have much of a neighborhood . olivia : well , you must have had some memories . johnny : i call them mistakes . olivia : hmm . well , sooner or later , you 'll figure out that you ca n't go back and do any of them over , so you just move on . johnny : yeah , well , sometimes if you 're lucky , they get undone for you . olivia : okay , i 'm not going to ask what that meant , about that , because you know what ? this is a safe zone . we check our angst at the door . hot and cold running pasta , and a shower -- help yourself . johnny : i think i might . olivia : you know , maybe we should try this again sometime sober . johnny : i 'd like that . olivia : yeah . and probably a good idea if we just keep this to ourselves . you know , considering our respective ties to certain people , not that it 's anyone else 's business . johnny : yeah . olivia : but what 's one more secret ? [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm sorry . i 'm really -- really , really , i am sorry . you have enough on your mind , so many things to deal with . i should n't have said that . i 'm bringing you down . i 'm sure michael 's going to be fine . jason : well , nobody knows for sure . but patrick was confident about the procedure . he just , you know , told us to take it easy on michael . sam : okay , so then , why are n't you at the hospital running interference right now ? jason : there 's nothing i can do . sonny 's drowning in guilt . carly 's tearing herself apart . i said what i had to say . i 'm just going to try to stay out of this . sam : i do n't -- i do n't believe that . jason : i 'm not michael 's father .

[ scene_break ] robin : you have to find a way to be happy . you know emma is -- she 's small . she has a long life ahead of her . i want our little girl to grow up in a happy home . so i have to ask you -- to honor my memory and the memory that we have as a family by finding someone else to be a family with again . and so i 'm telling you it 's okay with me if you move on -- and open your heart to another woman . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you decided to be a surrogate because i chose ellie over you ? maxie : no , no . i 'm helping give dante and lulu a child . that 's the most meaningful thing i could do for a friend . on the other hand -- when did i decide to do this ? you know , right after you chose ellie instead of me . spinelli : sorry . maxie : it just made me want to do something , like , bigger for myself . i just -- i did n't feel like i was really important , you know . i did n't feel like i mattered , 'cause i just told you i loved you with all my heart and soul , and then you said you did n't want me . why did you do that ? was it because you were already with ellie ? or was it because of me ? you just knew you could n't love me . [ scene_break ] lucy : so , you want me to underwrite the nurses ' ball . sabrina : [ chuckles ] that 's a great idea ! felix : well , it 's an idea , but i do n't know how great it was . lucy : no , no , no . it 's great . it 's great . sabrina 's right . it 's a great idea . and i would love , love to fund the nurses ' ball . it 's just , um -- right at the moment , um , my money is , um , a bit tied up . and -- and , i mean , come on . the time it takes for such a massive undertaking , you know , all the commitment i would have to make , i do n't think i could do that . i mean , after all , i do have this glorious cosmetic empire to run . sabrina : but i know how important raising money to fight aids was for you . should n't that take priority ? lucy : well , of course . it 's very , very important . sabrina : but even more so this year . robin scorpio - drake died last spring . lucy : yeah . i know . i know . i would have given anything to be at her funeral . she -- she was truly an inspiration to all of us . you know , and i knew her as a kid . i knew her since she was a little girl , and i was just so happy when i found out that she had a family of her own . sabrina : her husband is a brilliant neurosurgeon , and he 's committed to keeping her legacy going . actually , he can talk to you about it . lucy : oh , no ! no , no . that 's not necessary . look , i know -- sabrina : no , it wo n't be any trouble at all . no , patrick -- uh , dr. drake -- he will convince you . he wants his wife 's work to continue so that her death will actually count for something . [ scene_break ] robin : i do n't want you to be alone . you 're an incredible man . you have a lot of love to give . she 's out there . i mean , she 's smart , and she 's funny , and -- she will love you . and she will love emma as if she were her own . so please find someone who will make you a family again . [ scene_break ] britt : come on . just tell me the truth about sabrina . elizabeth : okay . yes , sabrina and i work together . and we 're on the same committee for reviving the nurses ' ball . britt : speaking of , do n't you find it interesting that she 's decided to make that her pet project ? a benefit that was a major cause for dr. scorpio - drake ? elizabeth : i do n't know what you 're talking about . britt : i 'm talking about sabrina making a move on patrick . she figured the way to his heart was through his dead wife . that 's why she wo n't shut up about her every time she 's around him . it 's nothing but , `` robin , robin , robin . `` elizabeth : you want the truth ? here it is . sabrina would be better for patrick than you could ever hope to be . [ scene_break ] robin : i want emma to have a mother figure , and , quite frankly , you need a wife . i have to admit , i have vetted some candidates myself that are fit . nothing formal , of course . if you think it 's weird watching this , i mean , think about how weird it is for me to pick out my replacement . elizabeth . you 're already friends . i know that she cares about you . and she would certainly make an incredible mother to emma . i 'm sure that there are women lined up around the block for you , so if that does n't work for you , feel free to pick one out for yourself . but just know that if you pick wrong , i will come back to haunt you . patrick : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] duke : i got a doctor . anna : what ? can we trust him ? okay , we found him on the ground . he was semi- conscious . he 's been injected with something . where 's that thing ? duke : we found this in his chest . doctor : this is dr. obrecht 's wing . i will need to page her . anna : no , we do n't ! no , no . she 's the one who did this to him . you have to save him . doctor : no , i 'm sorry , without knowing what she gave him , i -- duke : here , does this help ? anna : what is that ? doctor : propofol . anna : it 's propofol ? that 's a sedative , is n't it ? is n't that lethal in large doses ? is n't it lethal ? doctor : i 'm sorry . if she gave him the entire vial , i can not help . [ scene_break ] maxie : no , no . just be honest , spinelli . i mean , now that you 're with ellie , has it suddenly occurred to you that i 'm -- all surface and nothing underneath ? i mean , you -- you need someone who can keep up with your brilliance like she can ? i - i do n't know . maybe [ sighs ] all that love that you felt for me before , you realized you never really felt it at all . spinelli : maxie -- when you revealed your true feelings for me -- i could hardly contain my joy . i wanted to scream , `` yes ! of course , i love you ! `` a - and yes , i would chose you over ellie in an instant . maxie : but you did n't . you chose ellie over me . spinelli : i had already decided that i could n't spend one more day hoping that you 'd fall in love with me . despite your -- your grace , your intelligence -- and your incandescence , i -- i had resolved to move on . i met ellie . and she was open with me in regards to her feelings , and i returned those feelings . i can see a future with ellie . but i still care about you . and i will always love you . maxie : so -- this is about ellie and -- not me . spinelli : you know , you 're not the first person to ask that if it were n't for ellie , would i have accepted your declaration of love and fallen into your arms , and -- the answer is yes . if i had n't met ellie , i would be with you . maxie : but you did meet her . spinelli : maxie , you are not stupid . you 're not shallow . you 're not any of those characteristics that you assigned yourself . you are generous . you are beautiful . and you have a gracious heart . maxie : [ sniffles ] spinelli : and you do n't need -- please believe me when i tell you that you do n't need to be a surrogate to prove that you 're important . because you already are . maxie : thank you for believing that . spinelli : maxie , are -- are you really sure that you want to go through with this pregnancy ? maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sabrina : so , i just left dr. drake a message , and i - i just know that after one conversation , you will be more than ready -- lucy : stop , stop . look , i - i do n't have to talk to robin 's husband . i remember every single word robin said at the nurses ' ball . i remember all her courage when she stood up before everybody in port charles and said , `` i am hiv- positive . `` she set such an example how to live with that condition with grace and how to live your life to the fullest . so i - i know , i believe the nurses ' ball is such a worthy cause . sabrina : but if you know that , then why wo n't you help ? are you really that wrapped up ? are you really so busy in this company ? is lipstick really that much more important ? lucy : no ! no . no . no , no , of course not . you see , um , i 'm sort of -- i ca n't -- [ sighs ] i 'm broke . felix : broke ? how can you be broke ? lucy : how can i be broke ? well , let me just explain some letters to you . i am broke because the irs , the sec , the fdc , the cia , the fbi , and some sort of department of consumer affairs has completely frozen my assets ! sabrina : what ? why ? why would they do that ? lucy : why ? well , because they 're claiming that i am running a kind of pyramid scheme . do you know they are actually calling me the bernie madoff of makeup . sabrina : [ gasps ] felix : so wait . does this mean i wo n't be a golden duck ? lucy : no , no ! no , no , no , no . felix , you will be a golden duck . keep the faith . i will clear my name . but , you see , for now the only checks i 'm gon na be writing are to my whole team of lawyers . even though i really would love , love to fund the nurses ' ball , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] robin : please get on with your live . and just know that i 'm saying all of this because of how much i truly love you . i always will . patrick : [ groans ] [ scene_break ] britt : you 're kidding , right ? you think little sabrina sunshine is better for patrick than me ? elizabeth : that 's what i said . britt : the girl practically moons over him . you think that 's how to have an adult relationship , by fantasizing about someone who 's not even remotely interested in you ? elizabeth : wow , you want to talk about having an adult relationship ? you purposely dangled your hotel key under sabrina 's nose just to make sure that she would know that you 're hooking up with patrick . britt : i am not ashamed of my private life -- unlike some people . i do n't have a reason to hide . elizabeth : oh . is that what you do ? you attack people where they 're most vulnerable . you know sabrina is shy and inexperienced , and so you are going to make her feel smaller than she already does . britt : i can not control how sabrina feels about -- elizabeth : you treat her like dirt . until patrick shows up , and then , of course , butter would n't melt in your mouth . do n't think you 're fooling anyone . britt : i had no idea i was being watched so closely . elizabeth : oh , i do n't have to . you 're transparent . and if i can see right through you , so can patrick . britt : patrick enjoys my company -- more every day . elizabeth : but he did n't call you tonight , did he ? you 're so concerned he 's not interested in you , did it ever occur to you that maybe patrick is having a hard time moving on , because the love of his life was killed in an accident less than a year ago ? no ? well , let me tell you this . it sure as hell occurred to sabrina . she gets him . she understands that he is still grieving for his dead wife . [ scene_break ] anna : you do n't know this man . you do n't know what he 's survived . he 's strong . you know , you have to save him . doctor : perhaps there 's something i can try . anna : okay , good . thank you . robert ? can you hear me ? listen . you 've got to live , all right ? because giving up and dying is not an option . i 'm gon na be here . you 're gon na be here , too . i 'm not gon na do this alone . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 've known patrick a long time , and i know that he would rather be with someone honest and genuine like sabrina -- [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : -- than spiteful and back - stabbing , like you . britt : hello , patrick . patrick : listen , i 'm sorry i did n't text you back about decorating the tree . britt : oh , that 's okay . maybe another night . patrick : actually , i was thinking if it 's , um -- well , if it 's not too late , if you wanted to come by for a drink . britt : no , it 's not too late . i can come over . patrick : okay , good . i 'm here . so i 'll see you in a bit . britt : see you . i 'm sorry . you were saying ? [ scene_break ] maxie : instead of you being the first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing i think about before i go to sleep , i 'll be thinking about that baby . so , yes . to answer your question -- i do want to do this . [ scene_break ] sabrina : well , thank you for your time , miss coe . lucy : wait ! wait . wait , wait , wait . do n't -- please , please do n't give up hope . you ca n't . you got to keep looking for somebody to finance the nurses ' ball . really , and i 'll be sending all my little positive thoughts right out to you . sabrina : if your assets thaw , will you give me a call ? lucy : yeah . you 'll be the first i call . sabrina : okay ! well , let me just give you my number , then . lucy : okay . hmm . coecoe 's red velvet cupcake . it would be perfect on your beautiful skin tone . felix : shut up ! that 's exactly what i made her up with before her breakfast meeting about the nurses ' ball with the man of her dreams . [ scene_break ] britt : your tree looks great . i guess you and emma finished the decorating . patrick : yeah , we did . i 'm sorry i did n't text you about that . britt : oh , do n't worry about it . patrick : it 's not that i did n't want to see you . it was just , when you said that the three of us would do it together -- well , it reminded me of the things that we 're not gon na do as a family with robin anymore because this is our first christmas without her . britt : patrick , please , you do n't need to explain . i assumed that was the reason . patrick : thank you for understanding . britt : how could i not ? i 'm just glad that you called . like i said , this is my favorite time of year , and it 's more fun to spend it with someone . i brought eggnog -- patrick : wow . look at that . britt : -- and bourbon . patrick : i 'm the host . i 'm supposed to be doing that for you . britt : [ chuckles ] i -- oh , i also have a little something for emma . where is she ? patrick : i put her down a little bit ago . she 's probably fast asleep already . britt : oh , that 's too bad . i was hoping maybe we could all watch this . patrick : wow .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : as much as i 'm dreading it , i have to go see patrick . the least i could do is deliver the bad news in person . elizabeth : wait . m - maybe you should just go tomorrow . i think he has company tonight . sabrina : y - you mean -- elizabeth : i 'm sorry . sabrina : [ scoffs ] just when i thought my day could n't get any worse .

[ scene_break ] robin : what 's going on ? dr. obrecht : shh ! robin : what am i doing here ? dr. obrecht : quiet ! [ door opens ] dr. obrecht : i 'm so sorry to disturb you , but with faison captured , i was unsure how to proceed . under the circumstances , i thought it best to bring her to you . jerry : well , you did the right thing . i believe you know the way out , doctor . how are you ? after all this trouble -- robin : [ sighs ] jerry : -- you wind up with good old me . what did we used to call you , again ? uh -- `` fun one `` ? robin -- kind of too boring . did n't we have a nickname for you ? ca n't remember . hmm . oh , well . there are more interesting questions to ponder . like -- what ever am i gon na do with you ?
maxie wants to see lulu 's fertilized eggs , but ellie says no one is allowed in the lab because they have to maintain a sterile environment . maxie hurriedly walks away . spinelli goes after her and asks her what is wrong . she tells him that the lab was the last place she saw robin . he asks her if she is scared about the procedure . she admits that she is afraid she is doing it for the wrong reasons . she tells him that lulu and felicia both wondered if she was doing it because of him . she says she is doing it to help dante and lulu have a baby and because she wants to be part of something important , but suspects her timing because she made the offer immediately after he chose ellie . ellie comes out of the lab and hears maxie ask spinelli if he chose ellie because he was already with her or because he really did n't return maxie 's feelings . ellie hears spinelli tell maxie that he was overjoyed to learn that maxie loved him . ellie walks away . spinelli continues telling maxie that he had already decided that he could n't wait for her anymore and that he moved on and met ellie . he tells her that he can see a future with ellie , but that he will always love maxie . he tells her that she does n't need to be a surrogate to prove that she is important because she is already important . spinelli finds ellie crying outside the lab . she tells him that he does n't have to spell it out for her , says goodbye , and walks away .

[ scene_break ] ellie : damian . spinelli : hi . ellie : it 's so good to see both of you guys . uh , how 's mrs. falconeri doing after her procedure ? maxie : oh , um , lulu is a little out of it , but dante 's right by her side . it 's very sweet . ellie : oh , i 'm glad to hear it . spinelli : yeah , maxie was asking if she could see the embryos . maxie : well , we 're gon na be so up close and personal , i thought i might as well introduce myself . ellie : ah , that might prove to be difficult . they 're so small . in fact , they 're microscopic . maxie : that 's why you guys have microscopes , right ? ellie : yes , of course . but unfortunately i ca n't allow you into the lab . we have to maintain a completely sterile environment . maxie : i knew that . ellie : but i can assure you that i have inseminated mrs. falconeri 's eggs with mr. falconeri 's sperm , and the embryos are incubating as we speak . spinelli : well , let me be the first to offer you kudos . ellie : well , all in a day 's work . spinelli : it 's more than that . hey , you could be pregnant by tomorrow . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] britt : yes , with me . is that such a shocking suggestion ? elizabeth : we 've never socialized , ever . britt : well , i mean , i know it did n't involve chick flicks or shoe shopping , but we have hung out a few times . and i have the night free , since patrick seems to have blown me off .

[ scene_break ] anna : [ gasps ] oh , my god ! robert ! robert ! robert , stay with me ! stay with me , honey ! robert ! [ scene_break ] ellie : i hope maxie is n't coming down with something . spinelli : i should probably investigate the impetus for her abrupt departure . ellie : right . i should probably get back to incubating . spinelli : okay . maxie , are you okay ? maxie : oh , this is supposed to be cartullo 's flagship bag for the fall . it 's not very convenient . i ca n't find any of my stuff . spinelli : i doubt a deficiency with your valise is the reason for your abrupt departure . maxie : it 's just , um -- the lab . i ca n't be here without thinking about robin . it 's the last place i saw her . spinelli : it 's a hard loss to cope with at any point here , but i 'm sure it probably is even more keenly felt during the holidays . maxie : yeah , and everybody keeps saying , `` you should spend more time with your family , `` except i ca n't stop thinking about the family that i 've lost . spinelli : is it possible you 're thinking about the family that has yet to arrive -- i.e . dante and lulu 's baby ? maxie : the baby 's not my family . spinelli : perhaps not in the strictest sense , but it will be living inside you . i think that qualifies as a pretty close relationship . one fraught with unknowns . i think anybody would understand if you were scared . maxie : okay , i 'm completely freaking out . but it 's only because i 'm not in control of this situation . i 'm basically signing over my body for the next nine months . i almost told lulu and dante that i could n't do it . spinelli : maxie , if you feel that way , then you should -- maxie : no , no . they 're excited about this baby . they have so much love for each other and this child , i could never disappoint them . i just have to pretend that i 'm confident and excited -- and ignore olivia 's premonitions that this baby is going to be a dog . spinelli : yeah , i would n't take olivia 's canine confabulations -- maxie : it 's not about the dog . spinelli : okay , then what is it ? maxie : i 'm worried that i 'm doing this for the wrong reason . spinelli : what do you mean ? what could be a wrong reason ? maxie : you . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm gon na have to take a rain check on that drink . `` christina comes home for christmas `` was just released on dvd . britt : that movie that 's on tv 100 times at christmas ? sorry . it 's never been one of my favorites . elizabeth : actually , it 's a tradition in my house . i thought i would surprise my kids with it tonight . britt : must be nice to have kids to share the holidays . patrick mentioned that he and his daughter were gon na decorate their tree tonight , and i thought it sounded like fun . i even offered to string popcorn . but he did n't invite me . i mean , clearly he 's into me . i do n't know why he 's pulling back now . elizabeth : maybe he wanted to decorate his tree with just his daughter . britt : what 's up with you ? i mean , since i started here , you and i were okay . maybe we were n't friends , but we were cordial . we even had that moment , remember , with the night the lunatic tried to jump off the roof with the baby . so what 's with the cold shoulder ? elizabeth : i do n't know what you mean . britt : sure you do . did you decide you do n't like me because you and sabrina are joined at the hip ? [ scene_break ] lucy : oh , port charles . it was always such a special , special place . but i am afraid i have had to leave it behind . [ chuckles ] sabrina : oh , but port charles needs you . lucy : and why is that ? sabrina : for a very worthy cause . from what i understand , you were the driving force behind the nurses ' ball . but since you 've left , no one 's picked up your mantle . there has n't been a nurses ' ball in years . we were hoping to revive the tradition . lucy : you were ? well , bravo ! bravo to the two of you . i want to be the very person you send an invitation to . sabrina : oh , well , we would love to , except we 've hit sort of a snag . lucy : a snag ? what kind of snag ? felix : major . sabrina : the hospital does n't have any money to fund the nurses ' ball , so we have to finance through private donations . we 're still far from our goal , but we were hoping you could help us . lucy : of -- of course , i can . sabrina : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] robin : hi . [ chuckles ] i bet you 're surprised to see me . so , it 's christmas eve 2011 . we had the best night with her . you 're probably standing there right now , watching her sleep . and i would be there right next to you , and we could congratulate each other on our amazing daughter . but there 's something that i have to tell you , and i ca n't say it to your face . [ scene_break ] anna : robert , do you hear me ? can you hear me ? oh , god . who did this to you ? who did this to you ? robert : robin ! you 're ali -- step away from my daughter ! oh , baby . are you hurt ? [ weakly ] find -- anna : what ? what ? what is it ? robert : find -- find her . anna : `` find her `` ? what ? robert : [ whimpers ] find her . find her . find her . find her . find her . find her . you 've got to find her . [ scene_break ] robin : remember the deed to the acre of land that you gave me , and i cried and i told you that they were tears of joy ? they should have been , because you 've given me everything that i 've ever wanted -- love and commitment and a gorgeous daughter . you gave me a home with room for more children and a garden . but i was n't crying because i was happy . i was crying because i know that i will never see that home , and i will never have more children with you . i already miss you and emma so much , i can barely breathe . my hiv is back , for lack of a better word , and i 've tried all the protocols , and nothing is working for me , and i really wanted to tell you , but i did n't want to ruin christmas for you and emma -- or for me . i just wanted us to have one last wonderful , perfect memory . [ sighs ] because by next christmas -- i will be gone . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you volunteered to be dante and lulu 's surrogate because of me ? maxie : i know i should have said something before , but -- now this is real . i mean , there 's real embryos in there . and they 're gon na put them inside of me . it 's like you said . i could be pregnant by tomorrow . spinelli : yes . i know . it is a daunting prospect . maxie : i just -- i do n't want to make a mistake , spinelli . i need to figure out how i got here . why did i decide to do this ? like , why when lulu said , `` i need a surrogate , `` i was like , `` hey ! sign me up ! `` spinelli : i 'm sure you had a good reason . maxie : lulu has accused me of the only reason i wanted to be her surrogate is because of you . and then my mom asked me about it . and then lulu brought it up again . [ scoffs ] spinelli : do you think there 's anything to that hypothesis ? maxie : i keep saying that the real reason i 'm doing this is because i want to help dante and lulu have a baby . i need to be a part of something important . spinelli : that is a noble cause . maxie : but what if it 's not so noble ? okay , what if the real reason i want to help my friends have a child is so that i can forget that i love you and that you do n't love me back ? [ scene_break ] lucy : do n't you worry your pretty little heads , my quackers . consider the nurses ' ball paid for . [ both laugh ] all you have to do is ask the quartermaines . sabrina : quartermaines ? lucy : well , yes , if you 're really from port charles , you of course -- of course , you know the q 's . they 're the richest , most prosperous family in town . in fact , they 're actually philanthropic to a fault . i know because i was married to one . sabrina : you 're right . the quartermaines are very rich and philanthropic , and that 's why i took a meeting with them . unfortunately , tracy quartermaine shot me down . felix : do you know anyone else that could help ? lucy : of course , i do . i do . i do . let 's see . oh ! i got it . what about that newspaper publisher , victor lord 's bastard son ? what 's his name ? meenie ? meenie - mo ? man -- sabrina : todd manning ? lucy : that 's it . that 's it . did n't i read that he moved to port charles earlier this year ? sabrina : yeah , he did . um , but , unfortunately , he shot me down , too . actually , he laughed at me . lucy : how rude ! okay , okay . fortunately , that upstart is n't the only one in port charles with deep pockets . let 's think . i know . sonny corinthos . sabrina : uh , yeah . we considered sonny , actually . but we thought it would n't be such a good idea to have his name associated with the nurses ' ball . lucy : i get it . i guess in recent years his reputation has , shall we say , `` darkened slightly . `` you know , in the day , way back , we kind of heard rumors and innuendos , but now we just say , well , he 's a gangster . everybody knows he 's a gangster . lucy : okay . okay , do n't panic . let me think . you know , i do travel in rather rarified circles . um , okay , there 's got to be someone who can help us . someone very , very rich . think , lucy . think , think , think , think , think , think , think . felix : wait . miss coe -- lucy : yeah ? felix : what about you ? [ scene_break ] britt : i 've seen the two of you in the break room . you 've clearly taken her under your wing . elizabeth : she 's a student nurse . britt : yeah , and not exactly my biggest fan . elizabeth : okay , we all work together . let 's not turn this into high school . britt : you two are the ones gossiping . look , i 'm not asking for you to tell me what she writes in her diary . all i want is full disclosure . elizabeth : about what ? britt : about how much sabrina hates me -- and loves patrick . [ scene_break ] robin : i 'm gon na hide this . hopefully you wo n't find it until next christmas , 2012 , when you 're getting ready . and just know that there is n't anything that i want more than to be with you . and i can not stand the thought of you being sad or lonely . you might want to cut yourself off from the possibility of being happy again , but i need you to listen to me . you have to stop that right now , or you 're gon na end up being a bitter old man . and that is not good for you , and that is not good for our daughter . so i need to ask you something , something really big -- something that you have to do for me . [ scene_break ] anna : okay , robert , stay with us , okay ? obrecht 's not gon na get away with this . she injected you with something , okay ? robert : [ grunts ] [ mumbling indistinctly ] anna : right . save your strength . we need to find someone , some help . duke : try to keep him conscious . i 'll find some help that we can trust . robert : oh . she had -- anna : yes . robert : she had her . she -- anna : what ? it 's okay , robert . i know . obrecht 's injected you . you 're gon na be okay . just stay with me , all right ? robert : [ groaning ] anna ? anna : yes . robert : she has -- she ha -- [ groans ] anna : robert ! [ scene_break ] robin : you have to find a way to be happy . you know emma is -- she 's small . she has a long life ahead of her . i want our little girl to grow up in a happy home . so i have to ask you -- to honor my memory and the memory that we have as a family by finding someone else to be a family with again . and so i 'm telling you it 's okay with me if you move on -- and open your heart to another woman . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you decided to be a surrogate because i chose ellie over you ? maxie : no , no . i 'm helping give dante and lulu a child . that 's the most meaningful thing i could do for a friend . on the other hand -- when did i decide to do this ? you know , right after you chose ellie instead of me . spinelli : sorry . maxie : it just made me want to do something , like , bigger for myself . i just -- i did n't feel like i was really important , you know . i did n't feel like i mattered , 'cause i just told you i loved you with all my heart and soul , and then you said you did n't want me . why did you do that ? was it because you were already with ellie ? or was it because of me ? you just knew you could n't love me . [ scene_break ] lucy : so , you want me to underwrite the nurses ' ball . sabrina : [ chuckles ] that 's a great idea ! felix : well , it 's an idea , but i do n't know how great it was . lucy : no , no , no . it 's great . it 's great . sabrina 's right . it 's a great idea . and i would love , love to fund the nurses ' ball . it 's just , um -- right at the moment , um , my money is , um , a bit tied up . and -- and , i mean , come on . the time it takes for such a massive undertaking , you know , all the commitment i would have to make , i do n't think i could do that . i mean , after all , i do have this glorious cosmetic empire to run . sabrina : but i know how important raising money to fight aids was for you . should n't that take priority ? lucy : well , of course . it 's very , very important . sabrina : but even more so this year . robin scorpio - drake died last spring . lucy : yeah . i know . i know . i would have given anything to be at her funeral . she -- she was truly an inspiration to all of us . you know , and i knew her as a kid . i knew her since she was a little girl , and i was just so happy when i found out that she had a family of her own . sabrina : her husband is a brilliant neurosurgeon , and he 's committed to keeping her legacy going . actually , he can talk to you about it . lucy : oh , no ! no , no . that 's not necessary . look , i know -- sabrina : no , it wo n't be any trouble at all . no , patrick -- uh , dr. drake -- he will convince you . he wants his wife 's work to continue so that her death will actually count for something . [ scene_break ] robin : i do n't want you to be alone . you 're an incredible man . you have a lot of love to give . she 's out there . i mean , she 's smart , and she 's funny , and -- she will love you . and she will love emma as if she were her own . so please find someone who will make you a family again . [ scene_break ] britt : come on . just tell me the truth about sabrina . elizabeth : okay . yes , sabrina and i work together . and we 're on the same committee for reviving the nurses ' ball . britt : speaking of , do n't you find it interesting that she 's decided to make that her pet project ? a benefit that was a major cause for dr. scorpio - drake ? elizabeth : i do n't know what you 're talking about . britt : i 'm talking about sabrina making a move on patrick . she figured the way to his heart was through his dead wife . that 's why she wo n't shut up about her every time she 's around him . it 's nothing but , `` robin , robin , robin . `` elizabeth : you want the truth ? here it is . sabrina would be better for patrick than you could ever hope to be . [ scene_break ] robin : i want emma to have a mother figure , and , quite frankly , you need a wife . i have to admit , i have vetted some candidates myself that are fit . nothing formal , of course . if you think it 's weird watching this , i mean , think about how weird it is for me to pick out my replacement . elizabeth . you 're already friends . i know that she cares about you . and she would certainly make an incredible mother to emma . i 'm sure that there are women lined up around the block for you , so if that does n't work for you , feel free to pick one out for yourself . but just know that if you pick wrong , i will come back to haunt you . patrick : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] duke : i got a doctor . anna : what ? can we trust him ? okay , we found him on the ground . he was semi- conscious . he 's been injected with something . where 's that thing ? duke : we found this in his chest . doctor : this is dr. obrecht 's wing . i will need to page her . anna : no , we do n't ! no , no . she 's the one who did this to him . you have to save him . doctor : no , i 'm sorry , without knowing what she gave him , i -- duke : here , does this help ? anna : what is that ? doctor : propofol . anna : it 's propofol ? that 's a sedative , is n't it ? is n't that lethal in large doses ? is n't it lethal ? doctor : i 'm sorry . if she gave him the entire vial , i can not help . [ scene_break ] maxie : no , no . just be honest , spinelli . i mean , now that you 're with ellie , has it suddenly occurred to you that i 'm -- all surface and nothing underneath ? i mean , you -- you need someone who can keep up with your brilliance like she can ? i - i do n't know . maybe [ sighs ] all that love that you felt for me before , you realized you never really felt it at all . spinelli : maxie -- when you revealed your true feelings for me -- i could hardly contain my joy . i wanted to scream , `` yes ! of course , i love you ! `` a - and yes , i would chose you over ellie in an instant . maxie : but you did n't . you chose ellie over me . spinelli : i had already decided that i could n't spend one more day hoping that you 'd fall in love with me . despite your -- your grace , your intelligence -- and your incandescence , i -- i had resolved to move on . i met ellie . and she was open with me in regards to her feelings , and i returned those feelings . i can see a future with ellie . but i still care about you . and i will always love you . maxie : so -- this is about ellie and -- not me . spinelli : you know , you 're not the first person to ask that if it were n't for ellie , would i have accepted your declaration of love and fallen into your arms , and -- the answer is yes . if i had n't met ellie , i would be with you . maxie : but you did meet her . spinelli : maxie , you are not stupid . you 're not shallow . you 're not any of those characteristics that you assigned yourself . you are generous . you are beautiful . and you have a gracious heart . maxie : [ sniffles ] spinelli : and you do n't need -- please believe me when i tell you that you do n't need to be a surrogate to prove that you 're important . because you already are . maxie : thank you for believing that . spinelli : maxie , are -- are you really sure that you want to go through with this pregnancy ? maxie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sabrina : so , i just left dr. drake a message , and i - i just know that after one conversation , you will be more than ready -- lucy : stop , stop . look , i - i do n't have to talk to robin 's husband . i remember every single word robin said at the nurses ' ball . i remember all her courage when she stood up before everybody in port charles and said , `` i am hiv- positive . `` she set such an example how to live with that condition with grace and how to live your life to the fullest . so i - i know , i believe the nurses ' ball is such a worthy cause . sabrina : but if you know that , then why wo n't you help ? are you really that wrapped up ? are you really so busy in this company ? is lipstick really that much more important ? lucy : no ! no . no . no , no , of course not . you see , um , i 'm sort of -- i ca n't -- [ sighs ] i 'm broke . felix : broke ? how can you be broke ? lucy : how can i be broke ? well , let me just explain some letters to you . i am broke because the irs , the sec , the fdc , the cia , the fbi , and some sort of department of consumer affairs has completely frozen my assets ! sabrina : what ? why ? why would they do that ? lucy : why ? well , because they 're claiming that i am running a kind of pyramid scheme . do you know they are actually calling me the bernie madoff of makeup . sabrina : [ gasps ] felix : so wait . does this mean i wo n't be a golden duck ? lucy : no , no ! no , no , no , no . felix , you will be a golden duck . keep the faith . i will clear my name . but , you see , for now the only checks i 'm gon na be writing are to my whole team of lawyers . even though i really would love , love to fund the nurses ' ball , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] robin : please get on with your live . and just know that i 'm saying all of this because of how much i truly love you . i always will . patrick : [ groans ] [ scene_break ] britt : you 're kidding , right ? you think little sabrina sunshine is better for patrick than me ? elizabeth : that 's what i said . britt : the girl practically moons over him . you think that 's how to have an adult relationship , by fantasizing about someone who 's not even remotely interested in you ? elizabeth : wow , you want to talk about having an adult relationship ? you purposely dangled your hotel key under sabrina 's nose just to make sure that she would know that you 're hooking up with patrick . britt : i am not ashamed of my private life -- unlike some people . i do n't have a reason to hide . elizabeth : oh . is that what you do ? you attack people where they 're most vulnerable . you know sabrina is shy and inexperienced , and so you are going to make her feel smaller than she already does . britt : i can not control how sabrina feels about -- elizabeth : you treat her like dirt . until patrick shows up , and then , of course , butter would n't melt in your mouth . do n't think you 're fooling anyone . britt : i had no idea i was being watched so closely . elizabeth : oh , i do n't have to . you 're transparent . and if i can see right through you , so can patrick . britt : patrick enjoys my company -- more every day . elizabeth : but he did n't call you tonight , did he ? you 're so concerned he 's not interested in you , did it ever occur to you that maybe patrick is having a hard time moving on , because the love of his life was killed in an accident less than a year ago ? no ? well , let me tell you this . it sure as hell occurred to sabrina . she gets him . she understands that he is still grieving for his dead wife . [ scene_break ] anna : you do n't know this man . you do n't know what he 's survived . he 's strong . you know , you have to save him . doctor : perhaps there 's something i can try . anna : okay , good . thank you . robert ? can you hear me ? listen . you 've got to live , all right ? because giving up and dying is not an option . i 'm gon na be here . you 're gon na be here , too . i 'm not gon na do this alone . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 've known patrick a long time , and i know that he would rather be with someone honest and genuine like sabrina -- [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : -- than spiteful and back - stabbing , like you . britt : hello , patrick . patrick : listen , i 'm sorry i did n't text you back about decorating the tree . britt : oh , that 's okay . maybe another night . patrick : actually , i was thinking if it 's , um -- well , if it 's not too late , if you wanted to come by for a drink . britt : no , it 's not too late . i can come over . patrick : okay , good . i 'm here . so i 'll see you in a bit . britt : see you . i 'm sorry . you were saying ? [ scene_break ] maxie : instead of you being the first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing i think about before i go to sleep , i 'll be thinking about that baby . so , yes . to answer your question -- i do want to do this . [ scene_break ] sabrina : well , thank you for your time , miss coe . lucy : wait ! wait . wait , wait , wait . do n't -- please , please do n't give up hope . you ca n't . you got to keep looking for somebody to finance the nurses ' ball . really , and i 'll be sending all my little positive thoughts right out to you . sabrina : if your assets thaw , will you give me a call ? lucy : yeah . you 'll be the first i call . sabrina : okay ! well , let me just give you my number , then . lucy : okay . hmm . coecoe 's red velvet cupcake . it would be perfect on your beautiful skin tone . felix : shut up ! that 's exactly what i made her up with before her breakfast meeting about the nurses ' ball with the man of her dreams . [ scene_break ] britt : your tree looks great . i guess you and emma finished the decorating . patrick : yeah , we did . i 'm sorry i did n't text you about that . britt : oh , do n't worry about it . patrick : it 's not that i did n't want to see you . it was just , when you said that the three of us would do it together -- well , it reminded me of the things that we 're not gon na do as a family with robin anymore because this is our first christmas without her . britt : patrick , please , you do n't need to explain . i assumed that was the reason . patrick : thank you for understanding . britt : how could i not ? i 'm just glad that you called . like i said , this is my favorite time of year , and it 's more fun to spend it with someone . i brought eggnog -- patrick : wow . look at that . britt : -- and bourbon . patrick : i 'm the host . i 'm supposed to be doing that for you . britt : [ chuckles ] i -- oh , i also have a little something for emma . where is she ? patrick : i put her down a little bit ago . she 's probably fast asleep already . britt : oh , that 's too bad . i was hoping maybe we could all watch this . patrick : wow .

[ chuckling ] come on . there 's no fingerprints . i had the gloves on . they ca n't i.d . me . i had the mask on . i told you . i can take care of myself . ava : i 'm not terribly worried about you , carlos . i need to make sure that none of this can be traced back to me . anna : someone tried to kill you . i do n't understand . tracy said that she and luke walked in on a robbery in progress . a.j . : this was not a robbery ! okay ? look , i told the guy i 'll give him anything he wants . i said i would open the damn safe for him , and then he orders me to get down on my knees . dante : that 's pretty standard for an armed robbery . a.j . : he put a gun to my head ! anna : yes , okay . we understand that . tracy gave me this . she said that the burglar dropped it when he ran out , and luke picked it up . so , we 're gon na run the serial number and check for prints . a.j . : okay . anna : she said the man was wearing gloves . is that your recollection ? a.j . : right . he had gloves and he had a mask . listen , i could n't even see his face . if he was just a burglar , why would he want to kill me if i could n't identify him ? anna : yeah . do you have any idea who this masked man might have been ? a.j . : [ sighs ] sonny : dante told me about little ben . that 's quite a shock . lulu : of the very best kind , which reminds me ... sonny : you got something for me ? lulu : okay , i know that in your line of work , you probably get your fill of mugs , but ... sonny : uh ... `` world 's best grandpa . `` lulu : me and dante got that for you before christmas , and then after we lost our little girl , we just -- anyway . we get to give it to you after all . i 'm so happy for you and olivia . you guys get to be grandparents again . sonny : yeah , we 're very excited . what about you ? how you dealing with all this ? nikolas : what if you and i had an engagement party ? britt : really ? nikolas : yeah . does that sound like something that you would like ? britt : yes . i would . where are you thinking ? the metro court 's a little fancy . nikolas : right . no , i was actually -- no , no , no , no . ca n't play with that . i was actually thinking of wyndemere , you know ? we could make it this whole fancy , formal occasion . britt : i 've seen pictures of parties you 've held out there , and suddenly the metro court seems low key and kind of -- nikolas : well , i mean , you know , if we 're gon na do it , we should do it right . i mean , it 's an opportunity for our friends and family to share in our big moment . britt : yeah . friends and family , huh ? i do n't really have either of those , so ... nikolas : hey . hey . that 's not true . once we 're married , there 's no my friends , there 's no your friends . it 's just our friends . britt : does that include elizabeth ? robin : elizabeth , i am so sorry . i honestly thought that nikolas would -- i do n't know . i just -- it 'll teach me to keep my advice to myself . elizabeth : i 'm glad you convinced me to try , okay ? robin : really ? i mean -- someone was just telling me today that i like to run other people 's lives , so i am truly sorry for making a difficult situation even harder . elizabeth : robin , stop . i mean it . i 'm glad you said what you did . yes , i wish the outcome had been different , but i said my piece , nikolas knows how i feel , and now the weight 's off my shoulders . sam : so you do n't hate me ? elizabeth : i could never ! i have to go to a nurses ' ball planning meeting in 30 minutes . want to come with me ? robin : i 'd actually really like to , but , um , i ca n't . i have to go home and finish packing . elizabeth : packing ? you and patrick going someplace ? robin : no . patrick 's not going anywhere , but i am . elizabeth : what ? sam : i 'm leaving port charles tonight . a.j . : i do n't know who tried to kill me . look , i could n't make out his face underneath the mask . dante : all right , what about his voice ? you said he spoke to you . a.j . : i do n't know . i -- i did n't recognize it . i do n't think it was anyone i know . [ cell phone rings ] anna : could you excuse me ? i just need to take this . yes ? hello ? patrick , what 's wrong ? what ? um ... i 'll head straight there . certainly . thank you . dante : is everything okay ? anna : yeah , i have to deal with a personal matter . look , i 'll drop this off at the station . can you handle this ? dante : yeah . yeah . anna : okay . thanks . a.j . , i have to . a.j . : what are you -- you ca n't just leave ! anna : detective falconeri will take your statement . a.j . : anna , this is serious ! somebody 's trying to ki -- dante : a.j . a.j . , calm down . we are taking this very seriously . we can totally understand why someone would want to kill you , but you have no idea who it is , so we have to figure out who it is , and that 's gon na take some time . a.j . : no , i said i had no idea who the intruder was . but i 'm damn sure who sent him . dante : who ? a.j . : your father . lulu : i 'm fine . all i can really think about is how happy i am for dante . he wanted a child as much as i did , and now he has one . [ sighs ] you should have seen him with ben the other day . they spent the entire day together . of course , dante was wonderful with the baby when we had her , but she was so young . ben can interact so much more , and , you know , obviously , dante is a natural with him . sonny : that 's great news . but that 's not what i asked . hey . what about you ? i want to know about my daughter - in - law . how you feel about dante having a son that is n't yours . nikolas : elizabeth will come around . britt : right . we 'll be besties in no time . i 'm sorry . i know she 's one of your oldest friends , but , nikolas , she hates me . as in , she ca n't stand the sight of me . i mean , she ran that dna test bend my back to try to prove that i was in on some elaborate conspiracy to keep dante away from his kid . nikolas : i know . there 's no question that that was wrong , but i know that you had no idea whose sample that your mother used to impregnate you . okay ? and elizabeth knows that , too . and she 's agreed to put this behind us and move on . britt : well , if that 's true , why was she at the house yesterday ? elizabeth : you 're leaving ? robin , i know your work with hiv and aids in africa is important to you , but now ? you just got back . and without patrick and emma ? robin : i know what you 're gon na say . everyone 's been saying it to me . but i really have to go . elizabeth : why now ? robin : i ca n't get into the specifics . i really wish i could , but ... let me just tell you this , okay ? if you did know exactly why i was going , not only would you support me , but you would be thrilled . elizabeth : i ca n't imagine being thrilled about losing you again . i guess you believe in this . robin : i do . and i need you to believe that i have a very good reason for leaving . and i know that it does n't make sense now , but i just need you to trust me on this , okay ? as my friend . elizabeth : i can trust you . robin : this is just one of those times , you know , when -- i need you to have my back . no questions asked . can you do that for me ? elizabeth : yes ! does n't mean i 'm not gon na miss you . robin : i 'll miss you , too . nathan : after nakamura o.d . 'd , he was rushed to the hospital across the street , but he did n't make it . sam : that 's awful . silas : and you just got that warm , tingly feeling inside and just rushed over to tell us in person . nathan : i checked his phone . turns out he had a coffee date this afternoon . that would be you , mrs. coleridge ? delia : listen , my husband , roger , does n't need to know about this , okay ? nathan : well , i 'm not here to cause anybody any unnecessary trouble . silas : oh , come on ! you nearly peed your pants , you were so eager to tell sam about nina . nathan : i only went to ms . morgan after you made it clear you were n't gon na talk to me , and speaking of your wife , dr. clay , there seem to be a lot of people connected to you who abruptly feel the need to end it all . silas : you 're still here . but , hey , if you 've got something to say , say it . nathan : nakamura was the key to finally putting you away for trying to kill your wife , and you could n't let that happen , so you killed him . silas : buddy , do you ever get tired of being wrong ? sam : silas did not kill nakamura . delia : that 's just crazy talk . nathan : really ? with nakamura out of the way , there 'd be nothing left to link you to your wife 's o.d . , which is exactly what you wanted . sam : no , you 're wrong . nathan : you lured him here under false pretenses to finish him off . delia : no , wait a second . we were just trying to get the truth out of him . nathan : i doubt that . truth is dr. clay killed him . same way you tried to kill your wife . practice makes perfect , huh , doc ? sam : okay , wait a minute . does that mean you 're accusing me of murder , too ? 'cause i 've been with silas the entire time we 've been in new york city . delia : well , not the whole time . he was with a patient when you first got here , s -- i mean , um , uh ... nathan : think i could get the name of that patient , dr. clay ? silas : you 'd like me to cooperate with you , detective ? is that it ? get a warrant . until that time , hospital rules require me to protect the patient 's privacy . nathan : how convenient . just know this -- they 're running a tox screen on nakamura 's body right now . soon enough , we 'll know if he met with any foul play . silas : well , if that is true , i 'm not your guy . nathan : oh , and who is ? silas : do you want me to do your job for you again ? have you considered ava jerome ? carlos : i got out of the quartermaines ' without being identified . ava : for both our sakes , i hope you 're right . carlos : i 'm sorry , ava . i screwed up . i know you were counting on me to take care of a.j . for you . ava : it 's all right , carlos . happens to the best of us . carlos : what do you want me to do now ? you still want a.j . dead ? a.j . : there is only one person who wants me dead . that 's sonny corinthos . dante : that 's a pretty serious allegation , a.j . do you have anything to back it up ? a.j . : would you open your eyes ? ! sonny 's had a target painted on my back for months now . i mean , he tried to kill me right here in this room the night connie died . dante : connie did n't just die , a.j . , you killed her ! okay ? i remember that night . probably better than you do because i was n't drunk . michael had to talk sonny down from taking your life . for some reason , michael thinks that you 're redeemable . i do n't agree , but , either way , sonny promised michael that night he would n't hurt you . a.j . : yeah , well , you know , i guess he went back on his word , 'cause that is the only thing that makes sense . because the only other expla -- dante : what ? what 's the only other possible explanation ? ava : i do n't want a.j . dead . like i told you the other night , i 'm almost fond of the poor fellow . he causes the quartermaines many headaches . i find that amusing . carlos : then why 'd you give the order in the first place ? ava : i was hoping that a.j . 's drunken blackout would be enough to save his life . as long as he could n't remember that he was innocent , he was n't a threat . and i could put off making this decision . but i ca n't risk a.j . remembering what happened the night connie was killed . a.j . quartermaine has got to go . dante : so , what is it ? what other explanation you talking about ? a.j . : just forget about it , all right ? we both know who 's responsible for this . why do n't you go take a known killer off the street ? go question your father . sonny : go ahead and talk to me , lulu . you know , i 'm happy for dante , but i care about you , too . how are you really dealing with all this ? lulu : i 'll admit that this is an awkward situation for me . sonny : okay . lulu : but i 'm just so happy for all the people in my life that i love . geez , i -- you guys are getting everything you wanted . and part of me ca n't help but wish that it was dante and me that made a child , but ... it was dante and britt . we barely know her . sonny : mm - hmm . lulu : obviously that 's gon na change soon . sonny : change how ? lulu : nikolas and britt are engaged . she 's gon na be my sister - in - law . along with my stepson 's mother . so how 's that for awkward ? sonny : awkward . very awkward . lulu : there 's nothing i can do . i have to accept that ben is dante 's son . and not mine . nikolas : so you know that elizabeth stopped by yesterday ? britt : i swear i 'm not being some jealous , obsessive fiancée tracking your every move . but your uncle victor mentioned she was at the house and that he sent her up to our room . nikolas : right . but i hope you know that nothing inappropriate happened . britt : i know . i 'm just wondering if she was n't there to bad - mouth me again . what did she have to talk to you about ? elizabeth : the reason i do n't want you to marry her -- i 'm in love with you . britt : nikolas . what was it ? elizabeth : keep in touch , okay ? you really dropped the ball on that one the last time you were gone . [ chuckles ] robin : i 'll try . anna : hi . what is this about you leaving ? robin : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i 've got to go get ready for the nurses ' ball meeting . i love you . robin : i love you , too . anna : what is it ? robin : mom . anna : patrick tells me that you 're going to africa tonight ? robin : i was gon na tell you . anna : so why do you tell him and you tell elizabeth , apparently , and emma , but you do n't tell me ? what is going on here ? robin : okay , sorry . you caught me . i just -- i did n't want to have this conversation because i knew how difficult it was gon na be , and after everything that you and dad did to bring me home , i just did n't -- i did n't know how i was gon na say goodbye . anna : well , do n't . it does n't make any sense , robin . you just got here . why are you leaving ? robin : mom ... look . there 's a lot about this that i wo n't be able to explain . anna : i do n't like the sound of that . what does that mean ? robin : it means that i need you to believe in me . okay ? i need you to believe that you and dad and uncle mac , that you raised me to be the kind of person that would do the right thing , even when it 's difficult . anna : of course i know you 're that person ! but why does that stop you from telling me why you 're leaving ? robin : when i was little , i did n't always know where you and dad were jetting off to . i did n't . i always had faith that you would come back to me , and i just need you to have that faith in me now , okay ? anna : how is it the right thing for you to leave emma ? how is that the right thing ? or patrick ? or me ? robin : have you ever just known that you had to do something ? and known that in your heart it was the right thing ? and you knew that everyone else would think that it 's wrong ? it 's just something that i have to do . britt : if elizabeth was n't warning you against me , what did she need to tell you ? elizabeth . come . join us . nikolas : britt , i do n't know if now 's a good -- britt : oh , you can spare a minute , ca n't you ? elizabeth : sure . britt : nikolas was just telling me why you were at the house yesterday , but i suppose now i can hear it straight from the source . sonny : i want you to be able to talk to me about this any time you want . it 's a complicated situation . it 's not how you wanted things to go down . lulu : britt westbourne as the mother of dante 's child -- i never thought that was gon na happen . sonny : i do n't know much about britt , but what i do know , i do n't like . if her parents are any indication , britt is not the role model i want for my grandson , but you know what ? you will be . lulu : ben 's not my son , sonny . sonny : well , yeah , maybe not blood , but , you know , michael is n't any less my son because we do n't share the same dna . when you 're a father , you got to be there for your son day in , day out . you got to fight for him . unconditional love . and i know that ben will be part of your life just as much as he is dante 's life . i just want you to be able to learn to love him . like he 's your own . lulu : you want to know the funny thing ? part of me already does . dante : you know what , a.j . ? i do n't take orders from you . a.j . : okay , just get me a cop who 's willing to listen . dante : but i will talk to sonny . if only to put an end to these allegations . a.j . : i got to hand it to sonny . he really is a smart guy . see , he does n't even need to keep any cops on the payroll . he 's got his own son on the force . dante : you remember anything that might be actually useful , a.j . , that might help us ? let us know . carlos : i can go back to the quartermaines ' house tonight . the place is wide open . there 's plenty of points of entry . i 'll wait till the cops leave . ava : it can not happen tonight . for one thing , there will be too many people paying attention to a.j . , and , more importantly , i have to come up with another alibi . carlos : ca n't you just go see your mom again ? ava : unfortunately , no . things got rather ... complicated back in new york . nathan : ava jerome -- you 're gon na throw your mistress under the bus ? sam : would you listen for a second ? ava was here today in the city , the same person we 've been trying to tell you is trying to frame silas . it ca n't be a coincidence . delia : ava is not particularly good at keeping in touch . sam : no , she 's not . this is her own mother . she has n't been to the city in years to visit her . you 're gon na tell me that she 's gon na come here the same day nakamura 's killed ? silas : see how sam put that together ? that 's good detective work . you might be taking notes . in the meantime , when you start questioning people , you should start with ava . ava : as soon as i have these in place , i 'll let you know how we 're going to proceed . carlos : i 'm gon na lay low . it 's bad enough i got sonny chasing after me . i do n't need the cops after me , too . ava : keep your head down . and do n't worry . i 'll think of something . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : i always find a way to cover my tracks . a.j . : that guy tried to kill me . a.j . : guess what , bitch ? it 's payback time . connie : a.j . , please . you do n't want to do this . a.j . : oh , yes , i do . but i wo n't . i ca n't . i ca n't do this . i ca n't ... do this to elizabeth . i ca n't do this to michael . i love him too much . he deserves better . [ sighs ] a.j . : oh , my god . i did n't shoot her . connie was still alive when i left ! nathan : i will talk to ava jerome . sam : good , because you have nothing on silas . delia : so , why do n't you get lost ? nathan : look , i do n't understand why you 're still defending him , ms . morgan . sam : it 's very easy . he 's innocent . nathan : why would an innocent man lie to you about having a wife ? why would an innocent man not go visit nina ? she 's been lying in a clinic for 20 years . he has n't even been to see her once . silas : you 're an idiot . you of all people should know that nina 's parents barred me from seeing her , and even then , it took a court order and armed security to enforce it . nathan : made it real convenient for you to stay away . silas : do you have any idea how many times i went out there to try to see her ? every day for months , then years , i drove out there , only to be turned away . nathan : you stopped . silas : yeah . i stopped . i stopped sitting in cars . i stopped sitting in trains . and decided to dedicate that time to my patients and the hospital . in that sense , i conceded that nina 's parents , with their wealth and their power , had beaten me . nathan : if it was me , nothing would have kept me from seeing my wife . silas : hey , you know something ? that might almost mean something coming from someone else , but you 're all talk , sparky . so , you gon na charge me or not ? nathan : no . but i am gon na work with the nypd on the nakamura case . you will be hearing from me when the evidence is processed . ms. morgan . mrs. coleridge . delia : [ sighs ] i really slipped up , did n't i ? i never should have mentioned that you were n't with sam when she first got here . silas : forget about it . you did n't do anything wrong . sam : you just told the truth . it 's okay . delia : he pegged you wrong , did n't he ? you did n't off nakamura . silas : you really have to ask me that ? what about you ? do you believe me ? anna : none of this makes any sense , robin . none of it does . [ sighs ] but it looks like you 've made up your mind . and you 're not gon na change it . robin : not about this , no . anna : you were always such a stubborn little girl . [ laughs ] robin : where do you think i got that from ? anna : you have to look me in the eye and you need to tell me that nobody is forcing you to do anything , that patrick and emma have n't been threatened in any way . robin : mom , patrick and emma are not in danger . i 'm needed as a doctor , and it 's my decision to go . anna : okay . if you think it 's the right thing for you to do , then i support you . i do . i always do . is this the last time i 'm gon na see you before you go ? is it ? robin : yeah . for now . but , mom ... i 'll find a way home to you . i always do , right ? anna : come here . [ sniffles ] robin : okay . nikolas : elizabeth just stopped by the house to congratulate us on our engagement . britt : wow . she did . great news travels fast . elizabeth : i happened to see you accept nikolas ' proposal at dante and lulu 's . britt : really ? i did n't know you were there . elizabeth : well , i was . so , congratulations to you both . britt : well , thank you , elizabeth . we really appreciate that . it really means a lot , and especially coming from you . lulu : hey . dante : you okay ? sonny : we 're just catching up . lulu : i gave sonny a belated christmas gift . sonny : yeah , thanks for this . dante : yeah , well , do n't let it go to your head . sonny : i will fight tooth and nail for the greatest grandpa . i mean , me and luke will fight it out . lulu : i did not expect to see you here . what 's going on ? dante : uh , look , do you mind if i have a few minutes alone with sonny ? it 's official business . lulu : okay . it was good to talk to you . sonny : no , it was great . lulu : thank you so much . sonny : really , really good . bye . lulu : i 'll see you at home . dante : okay . lulu : okay . dante : love you . lulu : love you . sonny : official business ? does n't sound good . should i be worried ? dante : you tell me . a.j . quartermaine says someone just tried to kill him . you would n't know anything about that , would you ? a.j . : i did n't shoot her . she was alive when i left , but ... ava : a.j ... what did you do ? a.j . : nothing . i did n't -- i did n't do anything . it was her ! ava killed connie . sam : of course i believe you . we have been through so much together , i do n't think you would ever do anything to hurt nina or mr. nakamura . silas : thank you . that means the world to me . delia : well , you know , i knew it all along . i mean , the guy is really easy on the eyes , but he was wrong about a lot of stuff . silas : yeah , he is , but he 's right about one thing . sam : what 's that ? silas : i need to find a way to see nina . anna : [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] so ... are you gon na call me ? okay ? when you land ? robin : of course i will . anna : all right . robin : [ chuckles ] anna : i do n't want to let you go . robin : i do n't want to let you go , either . but i have to go as soon as , you know ... [ sighs ] ... my plane 's leaving . [ sighs ] anna : when are you gon na be back ? robin : i do n't know . but we 've always found our way back to each other , have n't we ? anna : [ sniffles ] yes , we have . always . robin : yeah . mom . it 's okay . it 's not `` goodbye . `` it 's just -- you know , it 's `` see you later . `` i love you so much . anna : i love you . i love you s -- beyond . [ elevator bell dings ] anna : i 'm gon na miss you . robin : gon na miss you , too . anna : i love you . [ sniffles ] robin : bye , mama . anna : bye . britt : well , i should get this little guy to lesley 's before i start my shift . i 'll see you at home ? nikolas : yeah . yeah , i 'll see you at home . britt : okay . nikolas : i 'll see you , little guy . britt : [ chuckles ] bye , elizabeth . elizabeth : buh - bye . britt : oh , and i think you 're right . an engagement party at wyndemere sounds like a great idea . nikolas : okay . yeah . britt : ooh ! britt : ooh . ooh . [ sighs ] elizabeth : you 're having an engagement party . nikolas : yeah , well , we 're discussing the idea , i guess . elizabeth : nikolas , thank you for not saying anything about ... [ sighs ] you know . nikolas : no , it 's -- elizabeth : i 'm still kind of embarrassed . nikolas : embarrassed ? there 's no reason for you to be embarrassed . you just ... told me how you felt , right ? it was n't that long ago that roles were reversed . elizabeth : and you were n't even a little embarrassed ? nikolas : no . no , not even a little . there 's no embarrassment in truth , as far as i 'm concerned . and , liz , you 're not only my family , you are my best friend . the last two musketeers in all of port charles , right ? [ both laugh ] elizabeth : the four musketeers . seems like forever ago since we were those people . nikolas : yeah , i know . i know . but we 're still those people . we 're just ... a little more grownup , i guess . [ chuckles ] that does n't mean we have to lose each other , right ? elizabeth : i hope not . nikolas : yeah , me too . [ sighs ] i know it 's gon na be a little awkward ... at first . kind of like right now . [ both chuckle ] nikolas : but i just want you to know that you 're stuck with me . [ laughs ] elizabeth : [ chuckles ] nikolas : i 'm not going anywhere . lulu : britt , hi . hey , there , little guy . britt : i heard ben and dante had a good time yesterday . lulu : they sure did . thanks again for letting ben stay with dante . britt : of course . well , i should get going . it was nice seeing you . lulu : you too . bye , ben . sonny : someone trying to kill a.j . ? really ? i do n't know anything about that , but i 'm just sorry they botched the job . dante : a.j . 's convinced that you sent someone to kill him . i got to look into this , sonny . i need to know if there 's something i 'm gon na find that i 'm not gon na like . sonny : dante , look at my eyes . i was not responsible for this . i promised your brother that i would n't hurt a.j . dante : but you would like to . sonny : oh , yeah , i 'd like to ! son of a bitch walking around after what he did to connie . but i did n't do it . dante : okay . sonny : can you do me a favor ? when you find out who did it , just let me know so i can send them a token of my appreciation . [ knock on door ] ava : coming .

<s>[INST] elizabeth : robin . hi . robin : hi . elizabeth : you 're here more than often then when you were on staff . robin : [ chuckles ] yeah , i just have a check - up that i have to go to . elizabeth : is everything okay ? robin : yeah , everything 's -- everything 's fine . what about you ? did you end up telling nikolas how you feel about him ? elizabeth : [ groans ] robin : what ? oh , gosh . sorry . elizabeth : no . robin : i should n't have brought it up . elizabeth : no , no , no , no . i did what i had to . i went to wyndemere and told nikolas i loved him . and nothing changed . he 's still marrying britt . britt : oh , my goodness ! two whole french fries ! good job , ben ! nikolas : yeah , he 's downing solid food like a champ . i love that . britt : i ca n't believe it . he 's growing up so fast . nikolas : just think there was a time when this little guy was first born , you did n't even think you could be his mother . [ chuckles ] sonny : lulu . i did n't know you were here . lulu : oh , uh , sorry . the door was open . i let myself in . i thought it 'd be okay . sonny : hey , it 's okay . make yourself comfortable . you 're family . besides , i know this place holds a lot of memories for you . you used to work here . lulu : i learned a lot from connie . she was an amazing woman . sonny : yeah , she was . you look good . happy . lulu : thanks . i am . sonny : glad you and dante are back together and doing things , you know , right ? lulu : yeah . sonny : i wanted you guys -- you know , i 'm pulling for you guys . lulu : i know . thank you . you know that your support means so much to us . sonny : thank you for making my son happy . lulu : well , i 'm just lucky that he did n't give up on me . sonny : if he loves you , he 's not gon na give up on you . lulu : guessing that you heard our other big news . dante is a father after all . dante : a.j . , you in there ? a.j . : yeah , come in . dante , anna , did tracy tell you what happened ? anna : yes , she said that there was an attempted burglary . a.j . : this was n't a burglary ! somebody wants me dead ! carlos : ava . ava : [ sighs ] carlos . you scared me to death . what are you doing here ? carlos : i 'm sorry for scaring you . i had to see you right away , after what happened at the quartermaines ' . ava : indeed . why do n't you tell me exactly what went down while i was in new york ? delia : oh , my god . thanks for letting me know . bye . silas : what 's wrong now ? huh ? sam : what happened ? delia : nakamura 's not coming . both : why not ? delia : he 's dead . silas : what are you talking about ? sam : nakamura 's dead ? delia : that 's what the man on the phone said . silas : okay , i do n't know what excuses men have used with you in the past , but , typically , someone ca n't inform you that they themselves are dead . delia : it was n't nakamura . it was some other guy . sam : who ? nathan : that would be me . silas : [ sighs ] sam : detective west . delia : hiya , handsome . first of all , who the hell are you , and , second of all , what are you doing with nakamura 's phone ? nathan : dr. clay , you 're not gon na introduce me ? silas : no . nathan : detective nathan west . port charles police department . delia : well , you 're a long way from home . nathan : i heard that dr. clay was back in town , so i thought maybe i 'd come , too . silas : could n't not stalk me for just one day . nathan : oh , i 'm just checking up on you . funny thing is , when i get to your hotel lobby , the nypd is already there . turns out nakamura o.d . 'd last night , downed a whole bottle of his own heart medication . sam : wait , you 're saying nakamura killed himself ? nathan : it 's hard to believe , right ? he 's taken this prescription every day for years . one day he just decides to end it all ? delia : well , i guess you never know what 's going on in someone 's head . nathan : yeah , i guess not . but you got experience with this , do n't you , dr. clay ? after all , something similar happened to your wife . ava : why the hell is a.j . quartermaine still alive ? you told me on the phone you had him in your sights . carlos : i did . i did , but you told me that you did n't want anything done while michael corinthos was there . ava : so you just gave up ? carlos : no , i followed your plan to the letter . i waited till a.j . was alone , made my move , and i was about to blow him away , and somebody smashed me on the back of the head . ava : who ? carlos : i do n't know . some guy . he chased me away . i got away , though . ava : and you 're sure that no one recognized you ? carlos : i 'm sure . they got my gun , though . ava : how did that happen ? carlos : i dropped it when they smashed me on the back of the head . that guy , he got to it before i could get my hands on it . ava : fabulous . tell me again how you can call yourself a professional . the quartermaines are probably bringing that gun to the cops as we speak ! carlos : relax . it 's untraceable . ava : you hope . carlos : come on . what , do you think i registered the gun to my name ? [ chuckling ] come on . there 's no fingerprints . i had the gloves on . they ca n't i.d . me . i had the mask on . i told you . i can take care of myself . ava : i 'm not terribly worried about you , carlos . i need to make sure that none of this can be traced back to me . anna : someone tried to kill you . i do n't understand . tracy said that she and luke walked in on a robbery in progress . a.j . : this was not a robbery ! okay ? look , i told the guy i 'll give him anything he wants . i said i would open the damn safe for him , and then he orders me to get down on my knees . dante : that 's pretty standard for an armed robbery . a.j . : he put a gun to my head ! anna : yes , okay . we understand that . tracy gave me this . she said that the burglar dropped it when he ran out , and luke picked it up . so , we 're gon na run the serial number and check for prints . a.j . : okay . anna : she said the man was wearing gloves . is that your recollection ? a.j . : right . he had gloves and he had a mask . listen , i could n't even see his face . if he was just a burglar , why would he want to kill me if i could n't identify him ? anna : yeah . do you have any idea who this masked man might have been ? a.j . : [ sighs ] sonny : dante told me about little ben . that 's quite a shock . lulu : of the very best kind , which reminds me ... sonny : you got something for me ? lulu : okay , i know that in your line of work , you probably get your fill of mugs , but ... sonny : uh ... `` world 's best grandpa . `` lulu : me and dante got that for you before christmas , and then after we lost our little girl , we just -- anyway . we get to give it to you after all . i 'm so happy for you and olivia . you guys get to be grandparents again . sonny : yeah , we 're very excited . what about you ? how you dealing with all this ? nikolas : what if you and i had an engagement party ? britt : really ? nikolas : yeah . does that sound like something that you would like ? britt : yes . i would . where are you thinking ? the metro court 's a little fancy . nikolas : right . no , i was actually -- no , no , no , no . ca n't play with that . i was actually thinking of wyndemere , you know ? we could make it this whole fancy , formal occasion . britt : i 've seen pictures of parties you 've held out there , and suddenly the metro court seems low key and kind of -- nikolas : well , i mean , you know , if we 're gon na do it , we should do it right . i mean , it 's an opportunity for our friends and family to share in our big moment . britt : yeah . friends and family , huh ? i do n't really have either of those , so ... nikolas : hey . hey . that 's not true . once we 're married , there 's no my friends , there 's no your friends . it 's just our friends . britt : does that include elizabeth ? robin : elizabeth , i am so sorry . i honestly thought that nikolas would -- i do n't know . i just -- it 'll teach me to keep my advice to myself . elizabeth : i 'm glad you convinced me to try , okay ? robin : really ? i mean -- someone was just telling me today that i like to run other people 's lives , so i am truly sorry for making a difficult situation even harder . elizabeth : robin , stop . i mean it . i 'm glad you said what you did . yes , i wish the outcome had been different , but i said my piece , nikolas knows how i feel , and now the weight 's off my shoulders . sam : so you do n't hate me ? elizabeth : i could never ! i have to go to a nurses ' ball planning meeting in 30 minutes . want to come with me ? robin : i 'd actually really like to , but , um , i ca n't . i have to go home and finish packing . elizabeth : packing ? you and patrick going someplace ? robin : no . patrick 's not going anywhere , but i am . elizabeth : what ? sam : i 'm leaving port charles tonight . a.j . : i do n't know who tried to kill me . look , i could n't make out his face underneath the mask . dante : all right , what about his voice ? you said he spoke to you . a.j . : i do n't know . i -- i did n't recognize it . i do n't think it was anyone i know . [ cell phone rings ] anna : could you excuse me ? i just need to take this . yes ? hello ? patrick , what 's wrong ? what ? um ... i 'll head straight there . certainly . thank you . dante : is everything okay ? anna : yeah , i have to deal with a personal matter . look , i 'll drop this off at the station . can you handle this ? dante : yeah . yeah . anna : okay . thanks . a.j . , i have to . a.j . : what are you -- you ca n't just leave ! anna : detective falconeri will take your statement . a.j . : anna , this is serious ! somebody 's trying to ki -- dante : a.j . a.j . , calm down . we are taking this very seriously . we can totally understand why someone would want to kill you , but you have no idea who it is , so we have to figure out who it is , and that 's gon na take some time . a.j . : no , i said i had no idea who the intruder was . but i 'm damn sure who sent him . dante : who ? a.j . : your father . lulu : i 'm fine . all i can really think about is how happy i am for dante . he wanted a child as much as i did , and now he has one . [ sighs ] you should have seen him with ben the other day . they spent the entire day together . of course , dante was wonderful with the baby when we had her , but she was so young . ben can interact so much more , and , you know , obviously , dante is a natural with him . sonny : that 's great news . but that 's not what i asked . hey . what about you ? i want to know about my daughter - in - law . how you feel about dante having a son that is n't yours . nikolas : elizabeth will come around . britt : right . we 'll be besties in no time . i 'm sorry . i know she 's one of your oldest friends , but , nikolas , she hates me . as in , she ca n't stand the sight of me . i mean , she ran that dna test bend my back to try to prove that i was in on some elaborate conspiracy to keep dante away from his kid . nikolas : i know . there 's no question that that was wrong , but i know that you had no idea whose sample that your mother used to impregnate you . okay ? and elizabeth knows that , too . and she 's agreed to put this behind us and move on . britt : well , if that 's true , why was she at the house yesterday ? elizabeth : you 're leaving ? robin , i know your work with hiv and aids in africa is important to you , but now ? you just got back . and without patrick and emma ? robin : i know what you 're gon na say . everyone 's been saying it to me . but i really have to go . elizabeth : why now ? robin : i ca n't get into the specifics . i really wish i could , but ... let me just tell you this , okay ? if you did know exactly why i was going , not only would you support me , but you would be thrilled . elizabeth : i ca n't imagine being thrilled about losing you again . i guess you believe in this . robin : i do . and i need you to believe that i have a very good reason for leaving . and i know that it does n't make sense now , but i just need you to trust me on this , okay ? as my friend . elizabeth : i can trust you . robin : this is just one of those times , you know , when -- i need you to have my back . no questions asked . can you do that for me ? elizabeth : yes ! does n't mean i 'm not gon na miss you . robin : i 'll miss you , too . nathan : after nakamura o.d . 'd , he was rushed to the hospital across the street , but he did n't make it . sam : that 's awful . silas : and you just got that warm , tingly feeling inside and just rushed over to tell us in person . nathan : i checked his phone . turns out he had a coffee date this afternoon . that would be you , mrs. coleridge ? delia : listen , my husband , roger , does n't need to know about this , okay ? nathan : well , i 'm not here to cause anybody any unnecessary trouble . silas : oh , come on ! you nearly peed your pants , you were so eager to tell sam about nina . nathan : i only went to ms . morgan after you made it clear you were n't gon na talk to me , and speaking of your wife , dr. clay , there seem to be a lot of people connected to you who abruptly feel the need to end it all . silas : you 're still here . but , hey , if you 've got something to say , say it . nathan : nakamura was the key to finally putting you away for trying to kill your wife , and you could n't let that happen , so you killed him . silas : buddy , do you ever get tired of being wrong ? sam : silas did not kill nakamura . delia : that 's just crazy talk . nathan : really ? with nakamura out of the way , there 'd be nothing left to link you to your wife 's o.d . , which is exactly what you wanted . sam : no , you 're wrong . nathan : you lured him here under false pretenses to finish him off . delia : no , wait a second . we were just trying to get the truth out of him . nathan : i doubt that . truth is dr. clay killed him . same way you tried to kill your wife . practice makes perfect , huh , doc ? sam : okay , wait a minute . does that mean you 're accusing me of murder , too ? 'cause i 've been with silas the entire time we 've been in new york city . delia : well , not the whole time . he was with a patient when you first got here , s -- i mean , um , uh ... nathan : think i could get the name of that patient , dr. clay ? silas : you 'd like me to cooperate with you , detective ? is that it ? get a warrant . until that time , hospital rules require me to protect the patient 's privacy . nathan : how convenient . just know this -- they 're running a tox screen on nakamura 's body right now . soon enough , we 'll know if he met with any foul play . silas : well , if that is true , i 'm not your guy . nathan : oh , and who is ? silas : do you want me to do your job for you again ? have you considered ava jerome ? carlos : i got out of the quartermaines ' without being identified . ava : for both our sakes , i hope you 're right . carlos : i 'm sorry , ava . i screwed up . i know you were counting on me to take care of a.j . for you . ava : it 's all right , carlos . happens to the best of us . carlos : what do you want me to do now ? you still want a.j . dead ? a.j . : there is only one person who wants me dead . that 's sonny corinthos . dante : that 's a pretty serious allegation , a.j . do you have anything to back it up ? a.j . : would you open your eyes ? ! sonny 's had a target painted on my back for months now . i mean , he tried to kill me right here in this room the night connie died . dante : connie did n't just die , a.j . , you killed her ! okay ? i remember that night . probably better than you do because i was n't drunk . michael had to talk sonny down from taking your life . for some reason , michael thinks that you 're redeemable . i do n't agree , but , either way , sonny promised michael that night he would n't hurt you . a.j . : yeah , well , you know , i guess he went back on his word , 'cause that is the only thing that makes sense . because the only other expla -- dante : what ? what 's the only other possible explanation ? ava : i do n't want a.j . dead . like i told you the other night , i 'm almost fond of the poor fellow . he causes the quartermaines many headaches . i find that amusing . carlos : then why 'd you give the order in the first place ? ava : i was hoping that a.j . 's drunken blackout would be enough to save his life . as long as he could n't remember that he was innocent , he was n't a threat . and i could put off making this decision . but i ca n't risk a.j . remembering what happened the night connie was killed . a.j . quartermaine has got to go . dante : so , what is it ? what other explanation you talking about ? a.j . : just forget about it , all right ? we both know who 's responsible for this . why do n't you go take a known killer off the street ? go question your father . sonny : go ahead and talk to me , lulu . you know , i 'm happy for dante , but i care about you , too . how are you really dealing with all this ? lulu : i 'll admit that this is an awkward situation for me . sonny : okay . lulu : but i 'm just so happy for all the people in my life that i love . geez , i -- you guys are getting everything you wanted . and part of me ca n't help but wish that it was dante and me that made a child , but ... it was dante and britt . we barely know her . sonny : mm - hmm . lulu : obviously that 's gon na change soon . sonny : change how ? lulu : nikolas and britt are engaged . she 's gon na be my sister - in - law . along with my stepson 's mother . so how 's that for awkward ? sonny : awkward . very awkward . lulu : there 's nothing i can do . i have to accept that ben is dante 's son . and not mine . nikolas : so you know that elizabeth stopped by yesterday ? britt : i swear i 'm not being some jealous , obsessive fiancée tracking your every move . but your uncle victor mentioned she was at the house and that he sent her up to our room . nikolas : right . but i hope you know that nothing inappropriate happened . britt : i know . i 'm just wondering if she was n't there to bad - mouth me again . what did she have to talk to you about ? elizabeth : the reason i do n't want you to marry her -- i 'm in love with you . britt : nikolas . what was it ? elizabeth : keep in touch , okay ? you really dropped the ball on that one the last time you were gone . [ chuckles ] robin : i 'll try . anna : hi . what is this about you leaving ? robin : [ sighs ] elizabeth : i 've got to go get ready for the nurses ' ball meeting . i love you . robin : i love you , too . anna : what is it ? robin : mom . anna : patrick tells me that you 're going to africa tonight ? robin : i was gon na tell you . anna : so why do you tell him and you tell elizabeth , apparently , and emma , but you do n't tell me ? what is going on here ? robin : okay , sorry . you caught me . i just -- i did n't want to have this conversation because i knew how difficult it was gon na be , and after everything that you and dad did to bring me home , i just did n't -- i did n't know how i was gon na say goodbye . anna : well , do n't . it does n't make any sense , robin . you just got here . why are you leaving ? robin : mom ... look . there 's a lot about this that i wo n't be able to explain . anna : i do n't like the sound of that . what does that mean ? robin : it means that i need you to believe in me . okay ? i need you to believe that you and dad and uncle mac , that you raised me to be the kind of person that would do the right thing , even when it 's difficult . anna : of course i know you 're that person ! but why does that stop you from telling me why you 're leaving ? robin : when i was little , i did n't always know where you and dad were jetting off to . i did n't . i always had faith that you would come back to me , and i just need you to have that faith in me now , okay ? anna : how is it the right thing for you to leave emma ? how is that the right thing ? or patrick ? or me ? robin : have you ever just known that you had to do something ? and known that in your heart it was the right thing ? and you knew that everyone else would think that it 's wrong ? it 's just something that i have to do . britt : if elizabeth was n't warning you against me , what did she need to tell you ? elizabeth . come . join us . nikolas : britt , i do n't know if now 's a good -- britt : oh , you can spare a minute , ca n't you ? elizabeth : sure . britt : nikolas was just telling me why you were at the house yesterday , but i suppose now i can hear it straight from the source . sonny : i want you to be able to talk to me about this any time you want . it 's a complicated situation . it 's not how you wanted things to go down . lulu : britt westbourne as the mother of dante 's child -- i never thought that was gon na happen . sonny : i do n't know much about britt , but what i do know , i do n't like . if her parents are any indication , britt is not the role model i want for my grandson , but you know what ? you will be . lulu : ben 's not my son , sonny . sonny : well , yeah , maybe not blood , but , you know , michael is n't any less my son because we do n't share the same dna . when you 're a father , you got to be there for your son day in , day out . you got to fight for him . unconditional love . and i know that ben will be part of your life just as much as he is dante 's life . i just want you to be able to learn to love him . like he 's your own . lulu : you want to know the funny thing ? part of me already does . dante : you know what , a.j . ? i do n't take orders from you . a.j . : okay , just get me a cop who 's willing to listen . dante : but i will talk to sonny . if only to put an end to these allegations . a.j . : i got to hand it to sonny . he really is a smart guy . see , he does n't even need to keep any cops on the payroll . he 's got his own son on the force . dante : you remember anything that might be actually useful , a.j . , that might help us ? let us know . carlos : i can go back to the quartermaines ' house tonight . the place is wide open . there 's plenty of points of entry . i 'll wait till the cops leave . ava : it can not happen tonight . for one thing , there will be too many people paying attention to a.j . , and , more importantly , i have to come up with another alibi . carlos : ca n't you just go see your mom again ? ava : unfortunately , no . things got rather ... complicated back in new york . nathan : ava jerome -- you 're gon na throw your mistress under the bus ? sam : would you listen for a second ? ava was here today in the city , the same person we 've been trying to tell you is trying to frame silas . it ca n't be a coincidence . delia : ava is not particularly good at keeping in touch . sam : no , she 's not . this is her own mother . she has n't been to the city in years to visit her . you 're gon na tell me that she 's gon na come here the same day nakamura 's killed ? silas : see how sam put that together ? that 's good detective work . you might be taking notes . in the meantime , when you start questioning people , you should start with ava . ava : as soon as i have these in place , i 'll let you know how we 're going to proceed . carlos : i 'm gon na lay low . it 's bad enough i got sonny chasing after me . i do n't need the cops after me , too . ava : keep your head down . and do n't worry . i 'll think of something . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : i always find a way to cover my tracks . a.j . : that guy tried to kill me . a.j . : guess what , bitch ? it 's payback time . connie : a.j . , please . you do n't want to do this . a.j . : oh , yes , i do . but i wo n't . i ca n't . i ca n't do this . i ca n't ... do this to elizabeth . i ca n't do this to michael . i love him too much . he deserves better . [ sighs ] a.j . : oh , my god . i did n't shoot her . connie was still alive when i left ! nathan : i will talk to ava jerome . sam : good , because you have nothing on silas . delia : so , why do n't you get lost ? nathan : look , i do n't understand why you 're still defending him , ms . morgan . sam : it 's very easy . he 's innocent . nathan : why would an innocent man lie to you about having a wife ? why would an innocent man not go visit nina ? she 's been lying in a clinic for 20 years . he has n't even been to see her once . silas : you 're an idiot . you of all people should know that nina 's parents barred me from seeing her , and even then , it took a court order and armed security to enforce it . nathan : made it real convenient for you to stay away . silas : do you have any idea how many times i went out there to try to see her ? every day for months , then years , i drove out there , only to be turned away . nathan : you stopped . silas : yeah . i stopped . i stopped sitting in cars . i stopped sitting in trains . and decided to dedicate that time to my patients and the hospital . in that sense , i conceded that nina 's parents , with their wealth and their power , had beaten me . nathan : if it was me , nothing would have kept me from seeing my wife . silas : hey , you know something ? that might almost mean something coming from someone else , but you 're all talk , sparky . so , you gon na charge me or not ? nathan : no . but i am gon na work with the nypd on the nakamura case . you will be hearing from me when the evidence is processed . ms. morgan . mrs. coleridge . delia : [ sighs ] i really slipped up , did n't i ? i never should have mentioned that you were n't with sam when she first got here . silas : forget about it . you did n't do anything wrong . sam : you just told the truth . it 's okay . delia : he pegged you wrong , did n't he ? you did n't off nakamura . silas : you really have to ask me that ? what about you ? do you believe me ? anna : none of this makes any sense , robin . none of it does .

[ crying ] [ scene_break ] bo : she 's playing with her dollhouse . wants to know if she can hang out a little longer . hope : sure . bo : can i get you something ? a cup of tea , maybe ? hope : this is crazy . i feel like a guest . bo : move back in , i 'll never offer you tea again . hope : this is n't easy . i know ... i know it looks like i 'm the bad guy . bo : hey , i never said that . hope : well , yeah , you kind of did . you did n't disagree with me . bo : wh ... hope : who 's keeping her daughter from her father ? who 's breaking her heart ? bo : hey , i do n't look at it that way . what 's going on here , it 's about the two of us . hope : it started out about the two of us . it 's more complicated now . bo : you 're talking about carly , and she 's gone now . hope : i know . just ... the memories , they linger . bo : well , they do n't have to linger . look , her being gone , that 's not gon na solve anything , no . but ... we can look at it as a step in the right direction . hope : you know what i think would be a fantastic step in the right direction ? bo : hmm ? hope : is if you told me the truth and told me what was really going on with her . [ scene_break ] maggie : carly , i 'm sorry about all this . carly : please do n't be . really . i -- i need to get going . and i 'm sorry for all the drama , really . and you know something ? these girls are really lucky to have you . maggie : thanks . here , let me help . carly : okay . maggie : [ laughing ] okay . carly : thank you . maggie : sure .

[ scene_break ] stefano : this is a terrible time for you , i know . you should be surrounded with family . ej : you do n't qualify as family anymore . stefano : i can help . ej : [ scoff ] three most dangerous words in the english language , do n't they say ? now leave . [ scene_break ] melanie : brady could 've gone to cleveland just to try and help . arianna : yeah . that 's what he thinks that he 's doing . all right , i 'm just afraid that nicole 's gon na use him again , and he 's not even gon na see it . melanie : ari , i know you 're worried about brady , but it 's not like this is a long term thing . i mean , that baby - stealing nutcase is gon na go to jail for a long time . and then brady will be all yours . arianna : honey , i 'm not jealous of nicole . that 's not what i 'm talking about here . melanie : honey , all you do is talk . arianna : excuse me ? melanie : look , i 'm sorry . all right , i 'm just gon na -- i 'm gon na lay it all out on the line here for you . arianna : mm - hmm . melanie : you have brooded and you have talked about this dude for long enough . and now it 's time you do something about it . you got ta fight for him . you ready to do that ?

ej thinks that nicole knows where sydney is , and that she is lying when she says that she does n't remember anything after phoning sami . sami is n't so sure , but eventually enlists brady 's help to discover what nicole is hiding , if anything . rafe runs into stefano , and stefano tells him that he thinks sami and ej finding sydney will just bring them closer together . rafe tells ej that stefano is at the hospital , and ej promptly finds him and tells him to leave . brady later tells everyone that he thinks nicole is telling the truth , and that she has no idea where sydney is . ej accuses stefano of being the one that took the baby . at melanie and mia 's request , carly agrees not to move in with maggie . carly and maggie have a heart - to - heart about both melanie and mia . melanie tries to convince arianna to fight for brady . bo and hope seem on the verge of reconciling—until carly shows back up at their house .

[ chuckles ] he 's got a bit of a temper . [ scene_break ] nicole : [ sighs ] i 'm not lying . and you are wasting your time yelling at me , because someone has her . someone has my baby . ej : she 's -- she 's our baby .

[ scene_break ] carly : so i just happened to be there when she felt really , really alone . maggie : mm . so she opened up to you . carly : yeah , now she ca n't stand to be around me . i mean , it 's like mia sees me and she 's embarrassed . what did i do wrong ? i mean , i listened , you know ? it 's not a secret that she had a baby . maggie : well , i think she 's embarrassed as you said , but not just about the baby . but the fact that ... she felt close to you . trust is very scary to that girl . carly : well , she 's shy , i can tell . maggie : mm . carly : melanie , not so much . maggie : [ laughing ] oh , sometimes i 'd like to take mia and melanie and just shuffle them , you know ? mia -- she takes everything so seriously , and she feels everything so intensely . carly : she has n't had an easy time of it . maggie : mm . well , neither has melanie . but with very different results . yeah , she ... mia would n't say `` boo `` to a goose . but melanie , ah ... she shoots first and asks questions later . carly : well , she had no problem dealing with me . maggie : oh , carly . i am sorry . but you know what , she just does n't see boundaries . carly : mm . well you know what , i know she 's mad at me for spilling the coffee on her . but saying she did n't want me to move in , i think ... i think she was sticking up for mia . i kinda like that about her . maggie : mm . well , there 's a lot i like about her . it does n't mean i would n't like to throttle her sometimes . carly : listen , maybe i ca n't move in , but i 'm glad to know mia has somebody sticking up for her . [ scene_break ] rafe : ej does have a temper like you said . he 's really ... he 's on edge right now . he 's barely able to contain his anger with nicole . stefano : you 're surprised by that ? rafe : no . i 'm not surprised at all . but i am a bit concerned . you see , i do n't know if you know this , but sami was actually on the phone with nicole when nicole was attacked . and it seems as though nicole was ready to come back . stefano : it seemed ... [ clears throat ] that if she were pregnant , it seemed ... that she gave birth to sydney . rafe : well , the point is ... ej grabbed the phone out of sami 's hands . would n't let nicole talk . now we need nicole to talk . we need her to trust us . and he wo n't let that happen . so if you really wan na help , muzzle your son . do n't let him act like a dimera . [ scene_break ] ej : feel like i could 've killed her . sami : i know . ej : do you know what it 's like to love somebody that much ? i look into her eyes and just see her lying , lying to you . sami : we got ta be careful , ej . what if she 's not lying ? ej : of course she 's lying . samantha , she 's working with somebody . she knows exactly who has sydney . sami : because it 's too scary to think that sydney might be with a stranger . ej : because this whole situation 's planned . do n't you understand that ? it 's planned , she knows exactly what she 's doing . sami : what if -- okay , fine . what if you 're right ? you screaming at her 's not gon na help , you know . she 's just gon na keep crying and saying she does n't know anything . we have to get her to calm down and start talking . and then maybe she 'll let something slip . ej : [ sighs ] you 're right . sami : ej , i am right . i think the best thing we can do now is you could go in to her . you know , tell her you believe her , tell her you forgive her . ej : samantha , she 's not gon na believe that , not after what i just did . sami : you certainly were believable enough when you said you were gon na kill her . okay , it 's up to me , i 'll do it . ej : that 's -- that 's not gon na work either . she 's not gon na let her guard down against you . sami : well , we 're not gon na give up . we have to figure out something . ej : i know , we got ta -- wait a second , i got an idea .

[ scene_break ] brady : anything new ? what 's going on ? sami : uh , no , nothing new . nicole still says she does n't know what happened . ej : in other words , she 's still lying . brady : she would never do anything to endanger that baby . sami : maybe she thinks she 's protecting her . brady : sami , that does n't make sense , i mean , come on . sydney was gone , she was unconscious , how the hell 's that protecting her ? sami : well , we are sort of wondering if maybe she does n't have someone working with her . brady : we -- no , no . he is saying that she got someone to help her , right ? sami : look , brady , if you do n't wan na work with ej , then you have to leave . okay , because sydney is his child too . nicole has put him through hell . she is -- brady : i understand -- sami ... sami : no , it 's -- mm ! brady : look , i get it . i get it . look , hey ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , you 're right . you 're right , you 're right . i just -- i do n't think that 's what happened , okay ? but i understand how you might feel that that 's the way it did . sami : either way , we need to know the truth , brady . and i need your help . brady : that 's why i 'm here . that 's why i 'm here .

[ chuckles ] i can see the christmas cards now . just the four of them . rafe : you know , you 're right . one could make the argument that their children will bring sami and ej back together . stefano : hmm . i 'm sorry to hear that we might have something in common . rafe : i hardly think that 's gon na happen because he 's almost as big of a jerk as you are . you know , i 've been spending some time with him these last couple of days . he just ca n't help it . stefano : you truly are obnoxious . rafe : i 'll go tell him you 're here . i love to spread good news . and stay away from sami . stefano : poor fool .

[ scene_break ] marty : no , you are right about one thing . you have the power to take away my career . natalie : and send you to jail , so stay out of my way . marty : and that would constitute a threat , if i cared about my career or my future , but all i care about right now is my son , the one that 's in prison . you 're about to become a mother . try to imagine this , if you will . imagine you 're having a son . imagine that you go to see him in jail , and every week , you see him change . you see the hope in him just disappear , and you see it replaced with bitterness and with anger and despair . and soon you see that everything you loved about him , everything you nurtured in him -- is just fading away , is just fading away , and all you have is ... everything you loved about him -- his sense of humor , his optimism . tenderness . it 's gone away . it 's gone . it has to , because otherwise ... he would n't make it . natalie : marty , again , i 'm very sorry about cole , but he murdered a man . marty : and you lied to john and your own sister about the paternity of your child . natalie : i 'm not proud of what i did , but it 's not a crime . marty : so you do n't deserve to be punished ? natalie : not by you . marty : it 's not gon na be me . it 'll be john and your family . you 're right . you 're right . i 'm just the messenger . and the big question for me is , when ? i mean , do i do it now before you give john his baby ? or do i wait till he 's holding his baby ? you know what ? why do n't i just wait till the christening , you know , when all the family is there ? then again , if i 'm gon na wait , i should make it worthwhile . oh , we could go to first day of kindergarten . first day -- first little league game . ah , that 's a good one . you know what ? i 'm gon na make -- i could make you wait . i could -- i could wait till i get my son back . 10 years . and then i could take john 's baby away . or i might not just do it at all . ha ha . see , what the whole good part is , you ... will never know . [ scene_break ] rex : what do you know about eddie ford ? john : i know he 's holed up at the minuteman hotel . brody responded to a disturbance call there and he found him . rex : did he bring him in ? john : no , no . he 's got some high - priced lawyer and he 's threatening harassment suits . brody 's on him now over at rourke 's gym , but unless he steps way out of line -- rex : there 's nothing you can do . so eddie 's place is empty right now . john : yeah . looks that way . of course , if a capable picklock was to come along and find his way inside , who knows what he might find . [ scene_break ] clint : who was on the phone ? matthew : some guy . he would n't put my mom on -- said she was tied up . clint : oh , god , matthew . i wish to god i was wrong . i tried to stop it . that 's why i was dating inez , like i said . matthew : keep your enemies close . clint : i was trying to distract her , but she was so intent on landing him , and bo was probably so hurt and vulnerable after finding out that nora -- well , you heard for yourself . probably made him ripe for the picking . i would n't doubt that bo is with inez right now .

[ scene_break ] eddie : well , clint did say to keep the conversation going . [ cell phone chimes ] eddie : ha ha ha . [ scene_break ] james : cheat how ? nate : i 've seen it in a couple films . what we do is we doctor ford 's gloves with something -- some kind of drug that 'll make eddie woozy . or we could take the padding out of his glove . no , we can put something heavy in there , like brass knuckles . dani : where are you gon na find brass knuckles ? nate : shh . starr : no . no . that is not happening . james : starr , we have to do something or bobby 's gon na get killed . literally . dani : there 's no way that he 'd back down ? nate : after what he did to my mom ? or you or james ? besides , who cares if we cheat as long as we get him out of town ? starr : if eddie really gets hurt and if someone like brody catches on ? ford could go to jail for assault . james : we ca n't all just stand around and watch bobby get pummeled . all right ? we 've got ta make sure he wins . [ scene_break ] langston : i mean it . i will put aside the ban on sex for 6 months if you walk outta here right now . ford : it really means that much to you . langston : i do n't want you to get hurt . ford : you see what you 've done to me ? now i definitely ca n't have sex with you . langston : but i offered . ford : because you really care about me , and i appreciate that . but you need proof that i 'm not in this for the wrong reasons , and i intend to give it to you . i 'm gon na show you that you can trust me again . langston : okay , what if eddie kills you ? ford : oh , ye of little faith . langston : ford , be serious . the guy 's a thug . ford : langston , there is nothing more that i 'd like to do right now than take you back home and spend the night with you . but i got ta take care of my little brother , so no sex . not now . eddie : hard up , honey ? daddy would be happy to oblige . ford : stay away from her . eddie : i got ta warm up my hands somehow . langston : you 're disgusting . eddie : what 's the problem ? the boyfriend here ca n't take care of business ? brody : all right , let 's break this up . eddie : do n't worry , buddy boy . papa gon na show you how it 's done . ford : yeah , caveman style . eddie 's got ta knock a woman out before she 'll come anywhere near him . eddie : whatever it takes , meatball . at least i still got the juice . dani : wow , no wonder your wife left you . you 're pathetic . eddie : just wait your turn , little miss sugarlips . you 're next . nate : you stay away from her ! you touch her , i 'll kill you . eddie : do n't make me laugh . i could take you all on and still have enough juice left to drag your little girlfriends over to my apartment and show them what they 've been missing . brody : that does sound like a threat . i take that pretty seriously . eddie : no , sir , officer , sir . no , i was just getting the energy up for the fight . you can understand that , right ? cristian : save it for the ring , huh ? ford : you still want me to call off this fight ? langston : if you do n't put him in the ground , i will .

<s>[INST] lucas : um , he 's doing good , considering . you know , he 's in good spirits . probably has something to do with the fact that will snuck him in a cheeseburger and fries . kayla : [ laughs ] lucas : sorry about that . kayla : no , that 's all right . hey , listen . i just want you to know that we 're doing everything in our power to help paul walk again , okay ? and it 's so important and great that he has will 's love and support . lucas : yeah , yeah , my son is , uh -- he 's an amazing human being . kayla : is he aware that he might have a little sister ? lucas : no , no , not at all . uh , we 're gon na keep that on the down - low . you know , i do n't want to ... tell him about that , because he 's concerned with paul right now and i do n't know for sure , so i do n't want to say anything , right ? kayla : you know , i just have to tell you that ... the idea of you and bonnie lockhart having a baby together -- i just -- lucas : i know , kayla . it 's surreal , i know . kayla : that 's one word for it , yeah . lucas : and it 's impossible , right ? so that 's what i 'm hoping the dna tests will show . are they in yet ? kayla : no , not yet , but , um , i did put a rush on it . lucas : thank you . i -- i just need to know , beyond a shadow of a doubt , if i 'm -- if i 'm that , uh , little girl 's father . or not , right ?

[ somber guitar music ] i 'm sorry . lani : thank you . but really , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i 've realized that it 's -- it 's always gon na hurt . jj : well , if you , uh -- you ever need a friend , you got one . lani : thank you . kayla : i had randy , our most trusted lab tech , handle the samples and run the tests . we 're gon na get this right , i promise you . lucas : god , randy must 've thought i was crazy yesterday . kayla : you know , it makes sense that you 're ... cautious . lucas : i - i - i was borderline paranoid . you know , i insisted on being in the room when he swabbed the baby and bonnie . kayla : well , it makes sense . sami did switch those test results about will all those years ago , remember ? lucas : yeah , yeah , and bonnie has a history of switching things , too , so ... you never know , you know ? i - i do n't want to take any chances . bonnie : she has his eyes , do n't you think ? sheila : mm . well , this one is way too young to be in the middle of a catfight . bonnie : ah , there you go . sheila : so come on , little mama . bonnie : my baby . sheila : we are going to go anywhere else but here .

[ easygoing guitar music ] how you doing ? lani : why does everyone keep asking me that ? abe : because we care . val told me you talked . lani : she had no right telling you my personal business . abe : whoa . hold on there . hang on . no confidences were spilled . she just -- she was just concerned . lani : sorry . abe : hey . you want to tell your old man all about it ? kayla : i 'm sorry . the results are n't ready yet . lucas : i mean , that baby ca n't be mine , right ? i mean , what are the odds , really ? kayla : well , it -- it just takes one time , you know . lucas : i know . i know it takes one time , kayla , but with bonnie lockhart , and -- and me passed out drunk like i was ? no way . there 's no way . although , when i looked into that baby 's eyes , i did see something . i mean , i did see something . there was a connection there . so what if that baby is mine ? then what do i do , huh ? what then ? kayla : i ... i think that you are getting ahead of yourself . i think the best thing you can do right now is to not drive yourself crazy . lucas : yeah , i know , i know . you 're right , you 're right , you 're right , you 're right . i got ta calm down and just be rational about the whole thing . right ? i mean , if the baby 's mine , then i -- i got ta own up . i g -- i got ta -- i got ta face my responsibilities . kayla : 'cause that 's who you are . lucas : i 'm also the guy who was so drunk that he slept with a woman pretending to be a woman that she was n't , and i did n't remember anything . bonnie : lucas has the right to know that he has a daughter . chloe : except she 's not his . this is just another one of your scams . bonnie : what ticks you off more , that lucas has a baby girl , or that he made sweet love to me ? chloe : you 're nothing but a con artist who ended up exactly where you belong : in prison , and that 's where you 're going back to . bonnie : well , i do n't think lucas would let the mother of his child languish behind bars , dear . chloe : how can you use an innocent child to save yourself ? any mother -- any real mother -- would protect their child , would do anything for them -- something you know nothing about . bonnie : i would do anything for my children , and i have , because i love them . chloe : really ? okay , you know what ? this sick game ends now . bonnie : a game ? game ? do you really think that i would -- i would agree to a dna test if i was trying to pull something ? chloe : well , you did switch places with adrienne , so if anyone could figure out how to fake paternity results , it would be you . bonnie : oh , chloe lane . i laid down with that man , got knocked up , and had myself a beautiful child , and you and lucas can lie to yourselves all you want , but once those results come back , t - ruth time , and you 're just gon na have to accept it . [ uneasy music ] jj : hey , hey . one grande decaf latte . i had them put your name on it . i would n't want you getting mine . i 'm ... loaded with caffeine . abigail : mm , i miss caffeine . jj : yeah , yeah , you 're being real careful about what you eat , drink . abigail : mm - hm , trying to . jj : so , going on a picnic ? abigail : yes , with chad and thomas , and so i kind of want everything to be perfect . jj : so , uh , you and chad ? sounds like progress . abigail : yeah , and the picnic was his idea , so i do n't know . i guess that 's a good sign . jj : uh , know what ? he loves you . i know , this has -- it 's thrown him for a hell of a loop , but you and thomas are his life . there 's no way he 's walking away from that . abigail : mm , he kind of already did . jj : he just needs time . abigail : yeah . i know , and i - i 'm trying to be patient . you know , i want to give him time to just remember how much we love each other and , you know , the fact that we have enough love to to spill over to this ... little one here , and , you know , even if the baby is stefan 's . jj : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm loving all of this hope . abigail : well , that 's -- that 's what today 's all about . not a cloud in the sky . jj : not even gabi ? [ tense music ] gabi : oh , just the man i was hoping to see . ari and i were going to go to the zoo . do you want to come with us ? chad : um ... actually , i -- uh , n - no . i , uh ... abby and i have kind of a kind of a rocking picnic day planned for thomas . gabi : oh , that 's a great idea . ari loves to hang out with thomas , and ... we might just join you . a day in the sun would do us all some good . chad : s -- uh , that 's -- that -- that sounds like fun , but i 'm gon na have to take a rain check . uh , abby and i wanted to just kind of have -- have some alone time with thomas . gabi : yeah . chad : okay . um ... yeah . gabi : hey , are you sure that that 's really a good idea ? jj : so gabi just herself into the house last night ? that 's not weird . abigail : she said she wanted to talk , so we did . i confronted her , kind of just asked her straight up if she resented me . jj : yeah , because she does . abigail : but she admitted it . she 's very angry , and -- and she blames me for everything that 's happened to her , and she 's ended up with nothing , and i have everything , and ... you know , even -- even after i 'm the one who tried to ruin her life . jj : e - everything , like -- li - like chad ? did you ask her if she 's using that time living with him to get in his ear ? keep you two apart ? abigail : mm - hm . i did , and she basically denied it . jj : basically . abigail : yeah . oh , she said that maybe subconsciously , it was ... it was hard for us to see the two of us together , but she was working on her anger , and ... ultimately , i guess she -- she wants us to end up together . jj : you believe her ? [ suspenseful music ] [ quiet intriguing music ] chad : is , uh , spending time with my wife and son a bad idea ? gabi : no , no . i know ... i know you want to spend time with them , but i - i saw abigail last night , and i -- chad : and what ? did -- did something happen ? gabi : abigail is , um , she 's just -- you know , she 's showing quite a bit , and i know you 've worked really hard to come to terms with -- with her carrying stefan 's baby . i know you want to make it work , but maybe , chad -- maybe -- i do n't know . chad : what ? maybe what ? gabi : i know that you love spending time with abigail and thomas . d -- i get that . do n't you think that when you see her , all you 're gon na see is ... stefan 's baby growing inside of your wife 's belly ? lucas : ca n't believe it . i ca n't believe i slept with bonnie lockhart . even when i knew it was n't adrienne , i did n't let that stop me . no . i kept going . why would i do that ? why ? kayla : do not beat yourself up over this . come on . lucas : how could i not beat myself up ? kayla : you are being too hard on yourself . you know , bonnie fooled all of us , too , and we were sober . lucas : i know , i know , i know . you 're right . i know . i know . but it 's the shame of it . and now i got ta tell chloe . i - i got ta tell chloe , not only did i sleep with bonnie , but there might be a kid ? and chloe 's understanding . she 's -- she 's beyond supportive , but this -- i do n't know . this ... she 's not gon na want to stick around for this . it 's gon na be even too much , even for her . [ uneasy music ] chloe : is this kid even yours ? bonnie : [ snorts ] what kind of question is that ? chloe : well , you bail out of town , and you come back with a baby , and let 's be honest here : is n't that uterus of yours just a bit dusty to carry a child ? bonnie : ooh , cheap shot . that the best you got ? 'cause really , honey , i do n't have anything to prove to you , because this whole thing is between lucas and me , which means it 's none of your business . chloe : uh , that 's where you 're wrong . bonnie : what , because you 're his girlfriend ? well , let me tell you something , sweetheart . once these tests come back and prove that lucas and i share this child , there 's just gon na not be no room in our little family for you . [ percussive music ] chloe : there 's no way in hell that i 'm gon na let that happen . bonnie : oh , please , honey . is that a threat ? 'cause you know what ? i spent ten long years in statesville . i fended off murderers and psychos and thieves , and let me tell you something , sweetheart : you 're just an opera singer . so go sing your song somewhere else , before i show you what scary really is . chloe : have you heard of el fideo ? bonnie : [ scoffs ] way to change the subject , girl . well , of course i have . who has n't ? he made scarface look like a teddy bear , until somebody rubbed him out . why ? chloe : because that someone was me . sheila : you 're a daddy ? hot , suave , changing diapers ? spit up on your collar ? no , i 'm sorry , i just do n't see it . [ laughs ] eli : the baby died . sheila : oh , i 'm s -- i 'm sorry . lani : eli and i ... we 've had these ... these moments . abe : you think there 's something between you ? lani : that 's what i talked to valerie about . i do n't know . maybe , maybe not . what if it 's just the grief , and i do n't want us to -- to turn the grief that we 've been sharing into something that it 's not . right ? abe : i love that heart of yours , your consideration for eli 's feelings , but maybe , you might be overthinking this . [ easygoing music over speakers ] lani : [ laughs ] you and valerie are made for each other . [ abe laughs ] she said the same thing . abe : well ... she 's a wise woman . lani : after valerie and i talked , i saw eli , and ... he admitted to having real feelings for me . no pressure . he just -- he wanted me to know . abe : you know , you said you were afraid of hurting eli . does that mean that you 're also afraid to explore your feelings for him , and see where it might lead ? lani : eli and i went through a lot together , and i think he 's incredible , but i -- i just ... abe : but what ? is it jj ? you still hung up on him ? lani : no . not really . i do n't think . abe : that 's an answer . lani : [ laughs ] i just ran into jj , and it was nice . we 're finally on good terms , maybe even friends , but ... as far as anything more , i do n't think jj sees me that way anymore . abe : but eli does ? sheila : man , i am so , so sorry . eli : no , it 's -- it 's cool . look , it 's just -- there 's no way you could 've known . it was a boy . sheila : oh . eli : we named him david . david abraham . sheila : that 's rough . hey , little mama . you see this guy over here ? he 's not that tough . eli : here you go . can i hold her ? sheila : yeah , sure . there you go . got her ? eli : yeah . hey , you pretty girl . okay . i bet there 's a smile in there somewhere . sheila : look at that . you 're a natural . you 'll get another chance . you still , um , with the baby mama ? eli : no , uh , i 'd like to be , but ... i think the only thing she sees when she looks at us is losing david . i do n't know if she 'll ever get past it . [ baby fusses ] bonnie : [ laughs ] you killed one of the most dangerous men in the world ? [ laughs ] what 'd you do , hit him with one of your high c 's ? [ laughs ] oh , my god , you 're serious . chloe : i stabbed that son of a bitch in the back . i made him cry like a stuck pig . now imagine , if i can do that to a man like el fideo , what i could do to you , because if you hurt lucas again , you 're not gon na have to imagine it . i 'll show you . [ disquieting music ] oh , and ... he never saw me coming . neither will you . kayla : chloe is a very strong woman , and she cares about you very much . i have complete confidence that you are gon na get through this . look , you made a mistake . you 're human . lucas : i was a drunk , stupid human . kayla : yes , you were , but you fought back , and chloe was witness to all that . she knows who you are . she knows who you are in here . and that 's what counts . she 's not going anywhere . lucas : i hope not . i realize how lucky i am . i - i know that i 'm so grateful to have a second chance with chloe , but ... and everyone else , you know ? everyone else who 's dealt with me and my stupid drinking . if this baby 's mine ... if this baby 's mine , then ... [ melancholy music ] i guess i 'm just gon na have to shut up and do the right thing . abigail : and gabi apologized for being so angry , and she 's working on it , and , you know , just wants us to all be able to have a fresh start . jj : yeah ? does n't answer my question . you believe her ? abigail : [ sighs ] i ... she seems sincere . jj : but ? abigail : but i 'm g - gon na keep my eyes open . you know , on her , and chad too . i always thought that our love was this rock that i could count on , but now ... it 's fragile , and ... i do n't want to do anything that might break it . jj : you know , abigail , you 've done the work . gotten treatment . you 've integrated your alters . you 're giving chad time and space and love . you got this . abigail : yeah . yeah , i think i do . and i - i think we 're gon na get through this , and we 're gon na end up stronger than ever . and we have to . part of me made decisions that are gon na haunt us forever , so ... chad : i have to make it work with abby , and if i 'm gon na do that , i have to ... accept the fact that she 's -- is gon na have , uh -- gabi : you 're a really good man , chad . chad : well , it does n't really feel like it lately . gabi : i just do n't want to see you get hurt . chad : no , a - abby was the one that was hurt . she ... she was ill , and stefan took advantage of her , and now she 's pregnant . and she 's had a lot of courage through it all , and i 'd be lucky to have half that courage , so i am gon na have to try to step it up if i 'm gon na be the husband she deserves . [ uneasy music ] uh , i got ta go to the picnic . bye . gabi : have fun . oh , i almost forgot , chad . sorry . arianna -- she , uh -- she glued my key to the mansion to a piece of wood for her school project . i - i ca n't get it off , so i was wondering if i could just borrow yours . chad : just leave the keys on the ... gabi : whoop !

[ cell phone ringing ] i really need you . eli : so when you 're done watching bonnie 's baby , are you headed back to chicago ? sheila : well , my shiny new life is n't exactly going as planned . turns out nobody wants to really hire an ex - con , so i -- i do n't know what i 'm about to do , really . eli : well , if you need a reference , let me know . sheila : thank you . eli : i got you , all right ? we go way back . whatever you need . sheila : so you gon na give me this kid back , or what ? eli : i do n't know ... sheila : i have to take her back . [ laughs ] eli : here you go . sheila : thank you . all right , little mama . and you know what ? if your lady friend is smart , she 'll figure you 're too good of a guy to let go . [ tender music ] abe : whether you want to see where things go with eli or not -- that 's obviously your choice , but for what it 's worth , he 's really impressed me . he 's solid . he did right by you and your son . lani : he was a rock , and i do care about him . it 's just ... abe : i - i know . you 're confused , and you do n't want to make the wrong choice . but maybe there 's a chance that the bad you and eli went through will turn into something good . lani : maybe . abe : sit with that heart of yours . listen to it . you 'll find your answer . [ easygoing music over speakers ] lani : wisest man ever . abe : [ laughs ] lani : i love you . abe : oh . love you too , baby girl . lani : well , i should get back to work . thank you for breakfast and ... such good advice . see you later . jj : you know , i , uh -- i ran into lani earlier . yeah , we talked , uh -- we talked for a sec . abigail : the two of you seeming to be in a better place ? jj : yeah , we are . it 's , uh -- it 's comfortable . good . abigail : mm . well , do you think that you 'd ever be interested in being romantically involved again ? jj : oh , uh , you know , i do n't know . i just -- right now , i just want to be there for her as a friend . i -- i kind of know what it 's like to get over losing a baby . [ mournful music ] kayla : ... go . gabi : thank you . thank you very much . that 's it ? kayla : i 'm afraid so . look , i am sorry you 're not sleeping well . i 'm so sorry . gabi : yeah , this is the -- this is the medication you gave me when i was carrying arianna ? safe during pregnancy ? not that i have to worry about that anymore . kayla : you know , gabi ... it is completely normal for you to still have strong feelings about what happened . if you would like me to recommend somebody for you to talk to , i can do that . gabi : thank you . thank you , but when i have problems , i 'd rather do something about it , not just talk about it . kayla : well , good , and you do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better . okay ? see you later . [ foreboding music ] gabi : that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . [ elevator dings ] it 's back . lucas : there you are . where you been ? chloe : uh , i just had an errand to run . have you heard anything yet ? lucas : nope , no . still waiting . chloe : well , just , you know , whatever happens , i 'm here for you .

tom : brenda , let me explain something to you . sheila : no , you know what ? i do n't want you to explain anything to me , tom . i expect you to keep your side of the bargain . tom : i already told you everything i know about poisons . that 's was our arrangement . sheila : no , our arrangement was i scratch your back , you scratch mine . tom : i 'm not asking the guy that sells me a little weed to get me some kinda poison that kills somebody . he 's strictly small - time . he does n't have access to that kinda stuff . sheila : so find someone else . you 're smart . i 'm sure you know how to get what you want . tom : and so do you . yeah . sheila : you 're refusing to help me . tom : well , sorry , sweetheart , but i got ta draw the line on this one . oh , you 're a resourceful lady . you really wan na do that kinda number on somebody , i 'm quite sure you 'll be able to get your hands on whatever it is you want . sheila : resourceful , tom ? you have no idea . sheila : it 's a good thing i 'm a nurse . right , lauren ? oh , i think i 'm gon na whip up a prescription that is just for you . [ scene_break ] gloria : oh , i like this . ( gasps ) back already ? how was your session ? john : oh , gets easier every week . you know , it feels like i never had a hip replacement ? the fact is , my therapist said i am practically as good as new . gloria : now that 's my husband -- stronger than any man half his age . john : oh , ho , ho , easy . gloria : no , i mean it , john , especially after the way you punched tom fisher last night . i was very impressed . john : oh . gloria : you 're in excellent shape , mr. abbott . john : thank you . gloria : mm . john : that reminds me -- i need to talk to ashley . where is she ? gloria : she 's already left for work . john : honey , i asked you to tell her not to go anywhere . gloria : i know , and i 'm sorry , john , but i had an early morning appointment with lauren about the wedding . and by the time i got back , she was gone . john : i do n't know what to make of this . i mean , why on earth would ashley go to dinner with a man like tom fisher ? especially after all she 's been told about your ex - husband . gloria : i do n't know . but i agree . it 's got ta be stopped . john : now i think it 's time that i have a little chat with mr. fisher , man- to - man . gloria : john , you ca n't do that . [ scene_break ] ashley : are you sure this is worth it ? i mean , this is really risky . michael : you have a better idea ? ashley : no , i do n't . it 's just hard to believe that a man like tom fisher , with all the terrible things he 's done -- there is n't something else we can nail him with . michael : but tom has covered his tracks extremely well . the only person who can bust him is gloria . ashley : oh , she has far too much to lose . michael : and so do we if we do n't take action . look , we have to show tom that if he wants to play dirty , we can play dirtier . so what 's it gon na be ? are you in or are you out ? [ scene_break ] scott : what 's up , dude ? what are you writin ' ? scott : uh , is this a bad time ? you want me to leave you alone ? kevin : no . scott : good . so what 's going on ? kevin : that 's what i 'm wondering . thought you were mad at me . scott : ( sighs ) yeah , i was , but i had a talk with my mom , realized i need to lighten up about my past . sorry for , you know , being such a jerk . kevin : so we 're cool ? scott : far as i 'm concerned . [ scene_break ] brad : bet i know what put that smile on your face . sharon : noah get to school okay ? nick : yeah . he 's gon na go over to aidan 's house in the afternoon , and then his mom 's gon na bring him home after dinner . sharon : great . nick : so i wanted to apologize for walking out on you last night . sharon : oh , there 's no need to apologize , nick . once again , we were on different pages . let 's just forget about it and move on . sharon : where were you last night , anyway ? nick : i was just driving around , and i stopped by the athletic club , and i ran into jack . he said something to me that i just ca n't stop thinking about . sharon : yeah ? what 's that ? nick : he said that brad carlton now owns shares in newman enterprises . did you know about that ? sharon : yes , i did . nick : so i 'm the last person in the family to find out . sharon : does that bother you , nick ? [ scene_break ] sheila : `` chemistry ... chemistry . `` all right . yes . now for a little refresher course . [ scene_break ] scott : so what are you up to ? kevin : um , i wan na update the jukebox at the coffeehouse , so i downloaded a bunch of songs , but i 'm not really finding much that i like . scott : oh , you should check out some toronto bands . there 's some awesome music going on up there . kevin : yeah ? could you give me some names ? scott : yeah , i 'll e - mail 'em to you . kevin : thanks . that 'd be a big help . scott : are you nervous about taking over crimson lights ? kevin : uh , a little , but mostly , i 'm excited . the grand re - opening is gon na be amazing . scott : hmm . i 'll have to check it out . kevin : you know , i just never thought my life could go this well . i mean , i 'm a business owner , i 'm getting along great with my family , got a cool roommate . all i need now is a girlfriend , and things will be just about perfect . scott : maybe you 'll meet someone at the coffeehouse . kevin : well , the way things are going , i just might . [ scene_break ] john : why ca n't i go see tom fisher ? gloria : well , for starters , you do n't know where he 's staying . john : oh , would n't be very difficult to find him . gloria : probably ... but , honey , are you sure you want to tangle with him again ? you humiliated him , and i 'm just worried that he might get violent . john : ohh , violent . gloria : do n't you forget , i 've seen tom at his worst . he 's a monster , and you do n't want to antagonize him . john : sweetheart , i can handle tom fisher ... but you may be right , especially if it puts you and ashley in any kind of danger . well , perhaps i could get a restraining order . gloria : how ? he has n't hurt ashley . she 's choosing to spend time with him , and like it or not , that is her right . john : damn , i do n't know what ashley was thinking ! i mean , she was so angry when she found out that fisher deceived her . she would never give a child abuser a second chance , never ! particularly having her own child . gloria : it 's very strange . john : well , maybe there 's more to this than meets the eye . gloria : well , if there is , you wo n't get any answers out of tom . honey , what i think is best -- just go to your daughter and talk to her and convince her to stay as far away from that man as possible . john : yeah , maybe . maybe you 're right . all right , i will go to the office and i 'll talk to her , but i promise you this -- tom fisher will never hurt you again . never . gloria : i know ... because you 'll protect me . gloria : ashley , what the hell kind of game are you playing ? [ scene_break ] michael : well ? ashley : it 's not that simple . i want to get rid of tom as much as you do , but this is not a sure thing . there 's a chance it wo n't work . michael : oh , it will work . tom fisher never met a bad habit he did n't like . ashley : if we get caught , this would be really , really bad . michael : this is our one chance at getting something on the man . ashley : those words do n't exactly inspire confidence , michael . michael : that 's because you 're coming at this like an abbott . ashley : what does that mean ? michael : it means you 're used to taking the moral high ground , trusting the system , and that fails miserably when your opponent is not playing by the rules . ashley : look , i 'm not gon na pull any punches , okay ? nobody threatens my family . i just hope you 're right . i hope this gets tom fisher out of our lives . michael : ashley , if we play this smart , once we 're done with him , tom fisher will never bother us again . [ scene_break ] sheila : ohh ... sheila : oh , yeah , this is gon na do the trick nicely . mm - hmm . that 's just what i need , lauren ... to take good care of you . ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] ( door shuts ) gloria : well , there you go , sneaking out again , just like you did this morning . ashley : i did n't sneak out . gloria : uh - huh , well , it 's pretty obvious you do n't want to answer any questions about why you were with tom fisher last night . ashley : well , you are right . i do n't wan na talk about it . gloria : you know , if you want to keep it a secret , ashley , you should n't have gone to the club . ashley : gloria , i do n't owe you an explanation . gloria : no , you 're right . i suppose you do n't , but your father 's not gon na be that easy to shake off because he 's bound and determined to find out what 's going on with you two . ashley : nothing 's going on . i 'm a competent adult . i should be able to have dinner with someone without being faced with an inquisition by my father or anyone else , for that matter . gloria : ashley , i know how charming tom can be , even when you think you know better . ashley : i can take care of myself , gloria . actually , tom and i would have had a lovely evening last night if half the town had n't intervened . as as matter of fact , we ended up having a wonderful chat at his place . you might know it . you know , he 's staying at the same motel that your friend jennifer was . is n't that the weirdest coincidence ? [ scene_break ] victoria : the only reason i have a smile on my face is because of my enthusiasm for the new line . why ? is there some other reason i should be in a good mood ? brad : you did n't read my e - mail ? victoria : no , i did n't . why ? brad : i pulled off one hell of a coup , that 's why . victoria : really ? well , tell me more . brad : i 've arranged for us to meet with three prominent beauty and fashion magazine editors who happen to be in chicago for a symposium . they 're gon na preview seasons and the rest of the new line . victoria : wow . brad : yeah , `` wow `` is right . you know what kind of an opportunity this is , to generate buzz before the official rollout ? victoria : well , this is great , bradley . so i guess we 'll be going to chicago , then ? brad : you up for it ? victoria : are you kidding me ? you and me together , dazzling the magazine mavens and then celebrating afterwards ? yeah , that 's my idea of a good time . brad : okay , then get on the phone and get the corporate jet gassed up . we got ta be there this afternoon . victoria : today ? why ? what 's the rush ? brad : the symposium ends tomorrow . we 've got a very small window of opportunity . victoria : oh . well , then i 'm afraid we have a problem . [ scene_break ] nick : i wish someone had told me that brad carlton now owned a chunk of newman enterprises . i am a part of this family . sharon : well , i tried to tell you last night , but you shut me down . nick : yeah , and i 'm not blaming you for anything . if anyone should have told me about this , it 's my father . sharon : you know , i 'm surprised he has n't . nick : i 'm not . he probably assumed that i 'd be against it . sharon : are you ? nick : you 're damn right i am . newman enterprises has always been a family company . the last thing we need is brad carlton coming in here and telling us how to do things . sharon : well , i should probably tell you this was n't brad 's idea . nick : whose was it , my dad 's ? sharon : no . it was victoria 's . [ scene_break ] michael : ( thinking ) tom is a cancer -- the insidious kind that destroys people before they even realize what hit 'em . he 's got ta be stopped ... permanently . kevin : even if means you go down , too ? kevin : hey , do n't jump ! you 're gon na get your suit wet . what 's goin ' on , smiley ? michael : what have you been drinking ? kevin : nothin ' , nothin ' . hey , i just , uh , ran into scott . we had this great talk . he 's not mad at me anymore , which is a huge load off my mind . michael : that 's great . kevin : yeah , yeah , you know , i do n't have too many friends that i can talk to , you know , about guy stuff . michael : mm - hmm . kevin : yeah , anyway , now everything 's cool . i can introduce him to a bunch of people at the grand re - opening , you know ? you are coming , right ? michael : uh , to what ? kevin : duh , the coffeehouse . grand re - opening -- it 's gon na be be here before you know it . i am hoping you 'll be there . michael : oh , no , no , no . i would n't miss it . kevin : excellent , cool . mac and i have been workin ' really hard , you know ? we got a bunch of great stuff planned that ... michael : that 's great . kevin : just hope nothing goes wrong . just ... hey . hey , am i boring you ? michael : huh ? kevin : michael , you have n't heard a single word i said . michael : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to be rude , kevin . there 's just a lot on my mind . kevin : all right , i get it . you know , the wedding , wow . it 's gon na be here in three weeks . ca n't even believe it , you know ? michael : yeah , yeah . tom : ... my invitation must have got lost in the mail . michael : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brad : what do you mean , there 's a problem ? victoria : ohh , i ca n't go jetting off to chicago -- the big industrial products division meeting . brad : ohh , that 's right . that 's today , is n't it ? victoria : unfortunately , yes . brad : well , you know what ? do n't worry about it . i can take dru with me . we have to discuss our search for someone to represent the new line anyway , so we can do it on the plane . victoria : it 's a shame , though . brad : what is ? victoria : that i ca n't go with you ... not that dru wo n't do a great job , it 's just that you and i , we really do make an unbelievable team . brad : yeah , we sure do , boss lady . [ scene_break ] nick : so victoria is the reason that brad now owns a piece of newman enterprises ? sharon : she was desperate to keep him from leaving . nick : i do n't get it . why is it so important to hang on to this guy , and why would my father go along with it ? sharon : well , i do n't understand all the details , but from what i know , when victoria asked brad to dump his stock in jabot , he said no . nick : okay , well , then , why did n't she just fire him like she told me she was going to ? sharon : because she feels that he 's too valuable , so victoria went to brad with the idea of this stock swap -- equal shares of jabot for newman shares . nick : this is ridiculous . sharon : if you want to know more about it , why do n't you call your sister ? nick : oh , i will , believe me . sharon : okay . ( telephone rings ) victoria : this is victoria . nick : hey , it 's me . i need to see you . victoria : i 'm a little busy right now . nick : it 's important . can you come to my place ? victoria : is everything okay ? nick : just get out here . i 'll be waiting . [ scene_break ] michael : i ca n't believe you actually have the nerve to show your face around here after last night . kevin : why ? what happened last night ? tom : i was assaulted downstairs . michael : ( laughs ) he walked in with ashley abbott , and john abbott decided to rearrange his face . kevin : ha ! way to go , mr. abbott . tom : look , i 'm glad you 're both here 'cause i wan na talk to you . michael : about what ? tom : well , last night was a pretty big wake - up call for me . things are really getting out of hand here . michael : yeah , well , so leave town . tom : well , that 's not gon na solve problem . kevin : well , it will for us . tom : i 'm not leavin ' genoa city . i like it here . also happens to be where my family lives ... and i want to make amends with you boys . kevin : ( laughs ) since when ? tom : well , like i said , gettin ' clobbered in a restaurant kinda makes you think , you know ? kevin : about what ? all the people that you 've hurt , starting with me , with us ? tom : exactly . kevin : oh , okay , so somebody hits you , right , someone humiliates you , and you -- you suddenly understand how i feel , is that it ? tom : i do understand , yeah . kevin : good , no , this is good , it 's great , actually , 'cause i have a closet with your name on it . come on , let 's go right now . i 'll show you what pain is all about . tom : look , kevin , i do n't expect you to believe me , not yet , but i am telling you the truth . i want to ... i want to start makin ' up for all the terrible things i did to you while you were growing up . kevin : what about the terrible thing you 're doing to mom right now ? tom : we 're not talking about your mother . we 're talking about you two . it feels pretty bad when your own stepson wo n't invite you to his wedding . michael : yeah , i know . i get all teary , too , but , uh , i really do n't want you around my wedding , but , uh , if you are here to talk peace , i 'll hear you out . kevin : what ? ! michael , how could you even give him the time of day ? michael : you know what ? it 's all right . i want to talk to him . just go . kevin : no ! no , no , no . you tell him to go . he does n't want to make peace . he 's after something ! you 're after something ! michael : it 's all right . kevin : no , no ! michael : i want to talk to him alone , all right ? tom : well , thanks for givin ' me a chance . michael : ohh , let 's cut the bull . you do n't give a damn about kevin or me . this is all about ashley abbott . is it possible you actually believe that you can get her to fall for you ? ( laughs ) oh , my god . you really , truly believe you can . [ scene_break ] gloria : yes , that is quite a coincidence , them staying at the same place . but i think the more important question is , why on earth , under any circumstances would you go to that man 's room ? ashley : well , we had to go somewhere , did n't we ? we could n't very well stay and finish dinner at the club . gloria : he 's a dangerous man . ashley : oh , correction -- he was a dangerous man . gloria : was ? ashley : yes , that was a long time ago , decades . he swears he 's changed . gloria : ashley , do n't believe it . he 's as awful as ever . ashley : and how do you know that ? i thought last night was the first and only time you 've seen him in years . gloria : it was . but i know him . and i saw it in his eyes ... ashley : gloria , gloria ... gloria : he has not changed . ashley : look , i need you to level with me , okay ? and i promise you this will stay strictly between us . has tom threatened you ? [ scene_break ] scott : sorry i 'm so late . sheila : no problem . scott : i 've been doing a little brainstorming about our story structure . got some ideas here i 'd like to go over with you . sheila : well , before that , how are things going with your mother ? scott : why do you ask ? sheila : well , last time you were here , that phone call you had with her , things just seemed a little tense . scott : uh , no , not really . i just realized after talking with her , that i was being a little hard on her . that 's why i decided to stay . sheila : does this mean that you 're giving up on trying to find out whatever it is you think she might be hiding from you ? scott : i 'm sure it 's about my past , and , yeah , i 'd still like to know . but i was overreacting and getting all uptight over ancient history , so , you know , i figured what 's important is now , focusing on the present , getting to know my family , working on the book together . sheila : yes . yes . that 's great . it seems like you 're getting your priorities straight . scott : well , trying , anyway . sheila : good for you . scott : i know my mom 's happy that i 'm staying . sheila : i 'm sure she is . scott : yeah , that 's why i decided to buy her a present , show her how much she means to me . sheila : i ca n't believe you 'd do that . scott : why ? sheila : well , look , i 'm really excited that you 're not wasting your energies on trying to find out what happened in your past , your childhood , but your mother -- she certainly has n't done anything to warrant any kind of a reward . scott : she 's my mom , brenda . why ... this does n't make any sense . before you were all about cutting her a break , so why are you trying to talk me out of it now ? [ scene_break ] victoria : got here as soon as i could . what 's going on ? nick : i heard that you gave newman shares to brad carlton . victoria : that 's why you wanted to see me ? i thought something was wrong . nick : something is wrong . that was a very stupid thing to do . victoria : well , i disagree . this way , brad stays on the newman payroll and we own a stake in one of our major competitors . it 's a win - win . nick : since when is hanging on to brad carlton worth surrendering control over our company ? victoria : my goodness . i think you 're overreacting . we 're not speaking about some vast amount of shares here . nick : that is not the point , sis . newman enterprises has always been a family company . we agreed we keep ownership within the family . that 's the way it 's always been . victoria : well , i needed to stop brad from jumping ship . nick : why ? anyone can do his job . victoria : that 's not true . in the few months that bradley has been here , he 's become a vital part of the cosmetics division . he is spearheading our new product launch , and we can not afford to lose him at a time like this . nick : how much do you really know about this guy ? victoria : what are you talking about ? we have known bradley forever . nick : i 'm beginning to wonder if you can really trust him . victoria : ( sighs ) oh , nick . nick : look , i got ta say it . you have put an awful lot of faith in brad carlton . and i do n't like it . i do n't like it one bit . [ scene_break ] sheila : look , i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to meddle . you wan na let your mother off the hook , that 's good . good for you . i - i just -- i hope she appreciates how lucky she is to have a son like you . scott : i hope she likes what i got her . it 's kind of tough buying a gift for someone who owns a chain of department stores . sheila : yeah . you want me to take a look ? scott : yeah . sheila : `` embrace life . `` that 's really lovely . i 'm sure she 'll never take it off . scott : you think ? sheila : yeah . yeah . i think any mother would be grateful to receive something like this from her son . scott : thanks , brenda . that makes me feel a lot better . sheila : i 'm glad you guys are getting along , really . but , hey , let 's get back to work , shall we ? scott : all right . you 're on . where 'd we leave off ? sheila : you wanted to run some structure ideas by me . scott : right . they 're just ... ( knock on door ) sheila : who is it ? man : delivery . sheila : hi . oh . thank you . do you need me to sign anything ? man : yes , right here . sheila : okay . there you go . just a second . i 'll get you some -- scott : no , i got it , okay ? sheila : thanks . thank you . scott : yeah . here you go . man : thanks . scott : finally . about time it got here . sheila : is this the gift that you were talking about ? scott : yep . sheila : and it 's for me ? you bought this for me ? scott : well , come on . crack it open . see what you think . sheila : okay . ( grunts ) oh , my god . oh , this is leather . this ... it is beautiful . it 's ... i love it . thank you . thank you so much . gosh . nobody 's ever done anything this nice for me . [ scene_break ] victoria : i 'm not saying that we do n't need to keep an eye on brad . yes , yes , he needs to be held accountable , but that is true for all of our employees . nick : well , i 'm glad you brought up the other employees , because how do you think they 're gon na react when they find out that brad owns a piece of our company ? do n't you think they 're gon na wan na buy in , too ? and what happens when you have to tell them no ? victoria : well , i ca n't really control that . nick : the hell you ca n't . you are the acting c.e.o . , sis . it 's your job to make sure that place is running smoothly . victoria : thank you very much , nicholas , but i do n't need my little brother telling me how to do my job . i appreciate your perspective , but i 've made my decision and i feel confident with it . nick : you know , i have been in your shoes . victoria : i know , and so has dad , and he supported this compromise . in fact , he 's the one who originally suggested it . nick : i thought that ... victoria : no , i proposed it to brad , but it was dad 's idea . nick : dad must be trying to stick it to jack in some way . victoria : well , frankly , i do n't really care what our father 's motives are . the fact is , newman enterprises needs brad . nick : newman enterprises does , or you do ? [ scene_break ] brad : dru , dru , dru , its -- its okay . listen , i wish you could be there , but i certainly understand . all right . i 'll talk to you soon . ( sighs ) great . sharon : problem ? brad : sort of . i scheduled an important meeting with some beauty magazine editors in chicago , and unfortunately , victoria ca n't go , and neither can dru . sharon : you do n't think you can handle that on your own ? brad : oh , i can certainly make the presentation , but i think it 'd be more effective coming from someone who 's actually used the products . sharon : well , you do n't think they 'll believe you when you tell them that our lipstick is the best you 've ever worn ? brad : ( chuckles ) i do n't know . they might . sharon : hey , uh , i might have a solution for ya . brad : hmm ? sharon : why do n't you bring me to chicago ? brad : sharon , i appreciate the offer . i really do . but you just came back to work . you 've got a ton to catch up on . you should n't be going on a business trip right now . sharon : translation -- you do n't think i have enough experience to be representing newman in a big meeting like this , which is fine . you can just say that . brad : i ... ( chuckles ) i think you 're doing a great job around here , but this is your first product launch , and the fact is , there 's no time to prepare . sharon : well , how much time do i need ? i 've been living and breathing this line ever since i came back to work . before that , even , when you gave me those materials to go over . i helped dru come up with the marketing plan , and you know , besides her , i probably know this line better than anybody else , and that includes victoria . now it 's true i do n't have any pre - launch press experience , but i do have some experience with the media and with our department store buyers . and i can honestly say that our lipsticks are the best i 've ever worn . brad : well , that was quite a pitch . what about noah ? we 'd have to be there this afternoon . can you leave town on such short notice ? sharon : um , noah has plans after school , and nick should be there when he gets home , so ... i do n't see any reason why you ca n't bring me with you ... unless , of course , you do n't want to , and if so , i understand . brad : you sold me . windy city , here we come . [ scene_break ] victoria : i hope you 're not suggesting that i kept brad at the company for personal reasons . nick : people are gon na wonder about that . victoria : oh , people like you . nick : are you telling me that i 'm off - base ? victoria : completely . the reason i want bradley here is because he 's extremely good at what he does , period . nick : so that 's it ? there 's no talking you out of this ? victoria : sorry , no . my decision is final , and this conversation is over . now if you 'll excuse me , i have to get to the office . nick : this is a mistake . someday you 're gon na regret giving brad the keys to the kingdom . [ scene_break ] sheila : you 're gon na have to forgive me . scott : for what ? sheila : getting emotional . it 's just that it 's been a long time since ... since anyone has got me a gift , and it really means so much . scott : it 's cool . i understand . sheila : you do ? scott : i can only imagine how hard it 's been for you , you know , being apart from everyone you care about . sheila : i 've accepted it . scott : still , you 're not made of stone . sheila : no , no , i 'm not . this leather day planner -- god , i just love it . scott : i 'm glad you like it . sheila : more than you know . scott : well , i wanted to say thanks . setting aside your whole life back in toronto to come here with me -- it 's a big sacrifice . sheila : i know that i said that , scott , but it 's not true . writing this book -- it means everything . it 's my life story , my darkest days , and being here together with you , working on it , it 's been very cathartic for me . scott : i 'll try my best to do it justice . sheila : yes . after all these years , justice will finally be done .

[ scene_break ] nick : you know , this attitude that daniel has with you is not okay . daisy 's the one who made his life hell , ricky 's the one who made him look guilty , yet he 's taking it out on you . phyllis : its okay , it 's -- he just thinks that i 'm happy because daisy 's dead . nick : yeah , you did n't want lucy anywhere near daisy . phyllis : right . nick : that 's not the same thing . he needs to cool off . phyllis : i mean , he does . you 're right , he does . he -- he needs to cool off . i 'm happy it 's over , but i get the sense it 's not . you know , like somebody could bash me in the head from behind . nick : look , daisy and ricky are gone , okay ? but i 'm here . you 're safe . phyllis : i know . i know , you 're -- you 're here , for sure . you 're -- you are . you 're here for me , and , like , if daisy and ricky tried to frame me , like ricky did daniel or like if ricky wrote that book about me and made me look like a monster , you 're here . nick : it could n't happen . phyllis : yeah , but say -- say -- say it did happen . say that happened , that ricky made me look bad . say it did . say -- would you still be -- would you still be here for me ? would you still love me ? nick : look , why are we doing this again , this what - if game ? phyllis : i - i do n't know , i just , um , i - i 'm ... forget it . nick : no . i want to know what you 're afraid of . phyllis : i 'm just afraid . ( sighs ) i think because daniel 's mad at me and lucy was taken away from me , i 'm just -- i feel like i - i could lose anything . nick : phyllis , if there 's something you need to tell me ... look at me . i 'm here , right now , so if there 's something , i want to hear it . phyllis : ( exhales sharply ) oh , god . there is something i have to tell you . [ next_on ] heather : why would he even have it , and how could you possibly know what it means ? tucker : i thought , uh , that kiss the other night -- ashley : you misunderstood . michael : i want to get your reaction to something that we found inside of daisy 's wallet .
eden goes to the police station to apologize to paul for not being able to remember what happened the night ricky died . michael shows eden daisy 's wallet and cell phone , but she still ca n't remember that she found the wallet and cell phone in ricky 's room . adam talks to gloria about buying the mansion that belonged to genevieve as a surprise for chelsea . chloe talks to adam about investing in her and kevin 's new website despite the fact that kevin does n't want adam involved . gloria demands that jeffrey and anita stop keeping secrets from her , so anita tells gloria that jeffrey is a bigamist because he is married to both of them .
<s>[INST] phyllis : oh , just one more , just one more . daniel : okay , okay . you 're probably gon na have to stop that soon . phyllis : ( chuckles ) you 're not a suspect anymore . i 'm very , very , very happy , okay ? now daisy just needs to stay gone . daniel : she is gone , mom . phyllis : yeah , i know , i know . ricky got rid of her . i would just feel a lot better if we had proof that she 's not gon na swoop in and stick her claws into lucy . daniel : you know , i 'd like to make sure that she stays gone , as well . i 'd like to know what happened to daisy , but you make it sound like you want them to find a body or some remains or something . phyllis : i 'm trying to protect your daughter . i love your daughter . daniel : so did her mother , so maybe we should n't treat this like a silver lining . [ scene_break ] ronan : ricky was a twisted soul . he offs daisy , and then dumps her wallet and cell phone in a housekeeping cart . michael : yeah , well , paul speculated months ago that ricky was a lot more like his mother than people wanted to see . ronan : right . paul was probably right about ricky -- he probably was a killer . but as you just said , paul was obsessed with this whole idea that ricky was a threat . he still could have gone to his hotel room that evening ready to contain the risk . chris : are those from ricky 's room ? michael : uh ... yeah , actually . um , this is daisy 's cell phone and daisy 's wallet that ricky stashed in a housekeeping cart . chris : you should both be aware that i am replacing avery clark as paul 's defense attorney . michael : oh , well , what 's the justice department have to say about that ? chris : it 's taken care of . ronan : ( chuckles wryly ) and here you are , looking at the evidence . so much for proper channels of discovery . chris : the evidence substantiates paul 's claims regarding ricky as a danger . michael : now the evidence indicates that ricky had something to do with daisy 's disappearance , but we have no body . we have no proof that she 's dead . the only thing we have proof of is ... paul shot an unarmed man . [ scene_break ] paul : eden , hi . it 's really , really good to see you . eden : well , i wanted to thank you for protecting me , and i am so sorry that i ca n't remember anything to help protect you . paul : that 's okay . really , it 's -- its okay . it 's all right . i 'll be fine . [ scene_break ] billy : so i understand congratulations are in order . adam : in case your wife did n't mention it , i just want to make things crystal clear . my engagement to chelsea has everything to do with , uh , our love and affection and mutual respect . it has nothing to do with johnny or my sister or you . billy : well , that was cuddly , and completely believable . chelsea : ( sighs ) e - enough of this . you do n't need to take aim every time we 're in the same room . victoria : well , you know , maybe it 's a good idea for us to not be in the same room at all . chelsea : yeah , because acting like an adult would just be too much effort for billy , right ? billy : okay . victoria : enjoy your day . billy : ( humming ) victoria : oh , yeah , my mind is way off chelsea now . billy : okay , here we go . chelsea : it 's like they 're the buzzkill twins . adam : oh , no , no , forget about them . chelsea : ( sighs ) adam : the other killer of buzzes , jeffrey and anita , have made themselves scarce ... chelsea : mm - hmm . adam : so we will revive this stinker of a celebration . chelsea : ( laughs ) ( exhales slowly ) jeff : howdy - dowdy , buggabear . adam : ( whispers ) bubbabear . gloria : ( groans ) anita : look at this . my mama radar was on , and it led me right to you . ( laughs ) billy : so , uh , wait till you see the promos they 're planning for the tv show . hello . hi . eyes over here , on me . victoria : hmm ? billy : i 'm much cuter than those two . victoria : what , those two ? oh , i forgot they were here . billy : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] chris : how can you say that ? the evidence backs up paul 's statement regarding ricky 's confession , which means rachel dalton and craig hunt were most likely victims , as well . ricky was an imminent threat to eden , and paul had every reason to shoot . ronan : there was no knife found at the scene as paul claims . chris : no , you just have n't found it yet . come on , you have kept my client long enough . michael : it has n't been 48 hours yet , so we 're well within our legal rights . and given that paul is a flight risk , it -- chris : oh , come on , michael . paul went to los angeles to tell ricky 's mother their son is dead , and then he turned himself in . ronan : okay , you 're his defense attorney now . we get that . that 's fine , but we can still hold paul , and we 're going to . [ scene_break ] phyllis : i do n't wish any pain or misery on lucy , but daisy and ricky were a very dangerous team , and they still would be if ricky had n't gone out that window . daniel : lucy 's mom was murdered , and i bet daisy was freaked out and she was scared , and then it was all just over , but i guess you would n't be able to understand any of that , or that stuff would n't register for you , seeing that you have the ability to gun an engine and aim a car . phyllis : wh - what -- do n't ... we 're not talking about that here . we 're not talking about that . daniel : yeah , sure , just let bygones be bygones or whatever , right ? phyllis : you recall that you fantasized about ways to get rid of daisy ? do you recall that ? daniel : none that i would actually do , none that i would actually do ! phyllis : okay , so if she walked in here right now and said hi , would you give her a kiss and a hug and say , `` thank god `` ? daniel : would you rent a car and make sure that she takes your secret to the grave ?

( clears throat ) kevin : ( clears throat ) well , paul says that ricky confessed , and eden was convinced that ricky was behind it from the beginning . daniel was pissed at daisy , but ricky was homicidal . victoria : i do n't know . that 's so insane . i mean , how can anyone be so sick and selfish ? gloria : i know , the mangy dog . i do n't know if i 'm ever gon na forgive jeffrey . billy : wait , what -- kevin : hello ? clue me in . gloria : brace yourself , angel . you have a stepsister . turns out that jeffrey really is chelsea 's father . i just found out . he has been lying to that poor girl and me all along . chelsea : see , this is when the old chelsea would grab a bottle of tequila and a long board . adam : nearest ocean is a bit of a drive . chelsea : ( sighs ) i guess that means i have to act like an adult , huh ? and go make nice with my ... parents . oh , god . adam : you want backup ? chelsea : nope .
