Roman : Ma . All right , what did Sami do that I need to know you could nt tell me about in the message ? And why is there a party ?
Caroline : She got married .
Roman : Which one ?
Caroline : Rafe .
Roman : Well , thank God for that , at least .
Caroline : Well , you did nt think she d marry EJ .
Roman : Ma , how in the hell am I supposed to know what she will or will not do ? Obviously , she does nt see the need to keep me in the loop .
Caroline : Oh--
Roman : You know what ? Maybe -- just maybe when she gets a second , she can send me an email . Daddy , FYI -- I got married last week .
Caroline : You do nt know the whole story . She had to do it quickly and for a very good reason .
Rafe : It s all right .
Sami : It s not -- it s not all right ! It s not all right !
Rafe : Listen to me . EJ DiMera wants war , he s got war . He s got it . Listen , we re just gon na be stronger than he is . We re gon na be stronger than he is for Johnny and Sydney s sake , you hear me ? All right ?
Sami : For Johnny and Sydney .
Rafe : That s right . That s right . It s not over . It s not over . We re gon na get those kids back . He s not getting away with this . He s not . It s gon na be okay . Trust me .
Sami : [ Crying ]
Bo : Hey . Hi .
Carly : Hi . Oh ...
Bo : How are Melanie and Nathan doing ?
Carly : They re just -- they re getting weaker . The hospital brass wo nt let Daniel go see Melanie , that s how bad it is . We need an antiviral . There just is nt one .
Bo : Is the CDC in on this ?
Carly : Yeah , there are outbreaks all over the country . But time is of the essence . Nathan and Melanie are being assaulted by this thing , and it s not just them . If this virus spreads , it could be a disaster .
Melanie : My head is killing me .
Nathan : I m sorry , I know .
Melanie : You were asleep for a long time .
Nathan : Was I ?
Melanie : Yeah . Do nt do that again . It freaked me out . I felt like I was alone .
Nathan : No , you re not alone .
Melanie : I m sorry you re sick , but I m glad you re here ... even if you are a jerk .
Nathan : That s funny , cause I feel exactly the same way about you .
Maxine : How s it going ?
Daniel : Well , I got a breakdown on the Loma Virus from the CDC .
Maxine : Does it help ?
Daniel : Nah . I did a residency in infectious disease before I settled on ... on surgery , but , you know , I think ... I think I have an idea on how to go after this thing .
Bo : Here you go .
Carly : Oh , thanks for bringing this to me .
Bo : I knew you d forget to eat .
Carly : I just keep thinking I wish it were me . Bo , I wish it were me .
Bo : Hey , hey , hey , hey . Melanie s not going to ... she s gon na make it . You got to believe that . You got to believe it .
Carly : When you say it , I do .
Bo : Good . We have some work to do .
Nathan : You awake ?
Melanie : I am now .
Nathan : You still think I m a jerk ?
Melanie : Nathan , I do nt have enough energy to fight with you right now .
Nathan : I m not trying to fight with you . I m just -- I do nt like this whole not - being - friends thing , not right now .
Melanie : Yeah , but when you found out Chloe was sleeping around on my dad , you should have come to me , not Stephanie .
Nathan : I did nt know what to do .
Melanie : I do nt care . It was my life and my dad ... and you re supposed to be my friend .
Nathan : Is there any way to fix this ?
Melanie : You should have come to me .
Nathan : I know . I know . And I would have if we were together . I would have , but I didnt-- I did nt know where I stood . I did nt ... [ Sighs ] Think it was my place . I did nt think it was any of my business .
Victor : Who am I speaking to ?
Hanson : Hanson . Detective Hanson .
Victor : Well , Detective , I would like to have a minute to talk with my grandson and ... my wife .
Hanson : I m sorry , sir . You re gon na have to wait outside .
Victor : Well , I m sorry . I did nt introduce myself . Kiriakis . Victor Kiriakis . Perhaps you know my son , Bo-- Police Commissioner Brady ?
Hanson : Yeah , yeah , of course , I do .
Victor : Well , I would consider it a personal favor if I could just have a few minutes with my family .
Hanson : I ll get a cup of coffee .
Victor : Thank you .
Victor : Now , what the hell is going on here ?
Vivian : Brady and I were just having a little talk . I explained to him that he ca nt sign that statement without serious consequences . I even explained it in a way that even he could understand . I go down , I take every one of you with me .
Daniel : From what I got from the CDC and what I found on my own , there is a viral protein that can be disabled .
Carly : Without side effects ?
Daniel : You know what ? It s unlike any human protein . But you know what ? We can manufacture it right here . And then we just got to test it . Test candidate drugs on--
Carly : Do we have candidate drugs ?
Daniel : See , that s the hard part right there . That s the hard part . We got to design that one .
Carly : In time to save Melanie and Nathan ?
Nathan : Well , then let me ask you something .
Melanie : What ?
Nathan : With us being here like this , I mean , we re so sick with a virus that nobody knows how to cure . I mean , do nt you think we should resolve this ?
Melanie : Do you love your mom ?
Nathan : Of course , I do .
Melanie : If I found out her fiancé was cheating on her , and I did nt tell you , would you be able to get over it ?
Nathan : Listen , I m not saying I do nt understand where you re coming from . I m not even saying you re wrong for feeling the way you do . I m ... look , I just ... I do nt know what to say to you . I do nt even know how to talk to you about anything anymore . And that breaks my heart . You know I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you .
Melanie : [ Sniffles ] I know . I know .
Sami : I ca nt . I m sorry , Rafe , I just can not go in there and face my family .
Rafe : Sami , Sami . They need to know . We need to all be in on this together .
Sami : They were so happy at the wedding , and ... I was so happy .
Rafe : Yeah . You will be again . I promise .
EJ : I know . There we go .
Mary : Mr. DiMera , I have the children s rooms all set up .
EJ : Oh , that s wonderful , Mary -- thank you . Johnny , why do nt you run upstairs and go play ? Okay .
Mary : Uh ... Miss Nicole ?
EJ : No , it s -- it s fine , Mary . She has a temporary visa . So do nt worry about it .
Mary : Well , then let me have her , and I ll get her--
Nicole : No , no , no , no , wait , wait , wait , wait , I m not ... I m not ready to give her up yet .
Roman : Well , you know what , Ma ? I do nt care what the reason is . I should have been there . I m not real happy with her right now , as you can tell . Sweetheart ... what s going on here ? What s wrong ?
Will : Where s Johnny and Sydney ?
Sami : EJ has them .
Victor : You re forgetting something , Vivian . No one will ever believe a single word you say .
Vivian : Maggie will . Actually , she already does .
Victor : You witch .
Vivian : Oh , you just came from seeing her , did nt you ? I can see the sadness in your eyes , because she s not gon na have anything to do with a vile man who lets me die in a tomb . I also know that you re not gon na let your beloved we- all- know - how - fragile - he - is grandson go to prison . So it seems I m holding all the cards , and you have bubkes .
Brady : I think she s right .
Vivian : So to ensure that we all live happily ever after , Brady s going to sign a statement that says he found poor , disoriented Maggie wandering around in the graveyard like a ghost , are nt you , darling ?
Brady : Granddad ... I do nt think I have much of a choice .
Nathan : [ Mumbles ] Was somebody just in here ?
Melanie : [ Laughs ] No .
Nathan : I m dreaming things . It should nt have been like this .
Melanie : What ?
Nathan : Us .
Melanie : [ Laughs ] Stephanie did nt want that .
Nathan : Did you ?
Melanie : I wrote you a letter on my wedding day .
Nathan : [ Scoffs ] I know . But I f - feel like you ... and Stephanie and -- and everyone else are just running my life , and now we might not make it out of this--
Melanie : Do nt say that--
Nathan : No , it s true , Melanie . Our vir -- I mean , this ... could be through the roof . This could be -- both of us .
Melanie : There s something I did nt tell you .
Nathan : What ?
Melanie : I heard you .
Nathan : [ Softly ] What ?
Melanie : You were talking in your sleep . You said , I love you , Melanie .
Nathan : That s because I do love you .
Melanie : I love you , too .
EJ : You re not ... ready to give her up . May I point out , Nicole , that it s not really up to you .
Nicole : Please , EJ , just let me get her ready for bed .
EJ : You re lucky I feel somewhat magnanimous this evening -- go ahead . Get on , go on .
Nicole : Really ?
EJ : Put her to bed .
Nicole : Thank you .
EJ : Oh , Mary , um ... could you get Johnny ready for bed as well ? Just put him in his PJs . Uh ... Nicole s gon na take care of Sydney , and I ll be up shortly to tuck them both in and read them a story .
Mary : Yes , sir .
EJ : Nicole ?
Nicole : Yeah ?
EJ : It s just like old times , is nt it ?
Nicole : Yeah .
EJ : Do nt get any ideas , okay ? [ Sighs ] To ... Samantha ... and a wedding you will never forget . Cheers .
Sami : So , actually , we just thought it might be nice if , um ... if Sydney and ... and Johnny spent some time with their dad .
Will : Hey , Allie . Allie , uh , why do nt you help me make some lemonade for everybody , okay ? Come on , come on .
Roman : Tell me this again . So you let EJ take the kids .
Sami : Well , Dad , I mean , it s not , like , exactly it was a choice .
Roman : What do you mean he had no choice ? There s a restraining order out against him . I could put him jail for showing up at the wedding .
Sami : Dad , would you just trust me ? I , um ... I m just gon na go clean up .
Rafe : Sami .
Sami : I m okay .
Rafe : Okay , okay .
Sami : I m okay . I just , um ... I just want you to tell my dad to just give me a break , okay ?
Rafe : All right , all right , I got it .
Gabi : Do you know what s going on ?
Will : Uh , maybe . But I really hope I m wrong .
Caroline : Oh .
Rafe : [ Sighs ] Roman , I know you re upset .
Roman : Look , Rafe ... you know , maybe I would nt be if someone would actually tell me what the hell s going on .
Caroline : Sami asked you to trust her .
Roman : What , Ma , what ? Does everybody have amnesia here ? Does everybody forget what this guy did to her , that he stole her daughter from her ?
Rafe : No one s forgotten . We re just ... Sami and I are doing what we think is best for the children .
Roman : All right , okay . That s great . Wait a minute . Sami did it , did nt she ? She s the one who ... and EJ can prove she did it , ca nt he ?
Carly : How do we test the drug ?
Daniel : Okay , we insert the gene that synthesizes the target . You have the target protein and the bacteria , and then we culture the cells . We mass- produce the protein . And then we expose it to any and every treatment candidate there is . We evaluate it with a rapid screening . That s what we got to do .
Carly : Thank you . Thank you .
Daniel : Yeah , for what ?
Carly : For being so driven on our daughter s behalf .
Daniel : You know what ? It s not like I can go in there and hold her hand , right ? What else am I gon na do ?
Carly : You have a new baby .
Daniel : I know , but I can do it all . I can do it all , cause Chloe-- she s with Parker right now . And Melanie -- she needs us probably more than she ever did .
Nathan : You said , I love you .
Melanie : No . I do nt know what I said . I love Philip . I married Philip . He s probably outside right now freaking out , because they do nt know how I m doing .
Nathan : And I have Stephanie .
Melanie : I m not ... Nathan , I m not gon na be like Chloe . I ...
Nathan : Cause it hurts too many people .
Melanie : We made our -- our choices .
Sami : Dad , I , um ... I m just gon na have to ask you to trust me , okay ? You can think whatever you want . But Rafe and I are doing what we think is best for the kids for the long haul .
Caroline : I think it s a good idea . Sami and Rafe -- they will be alone tonight , and maybe the kids sleepover with EJ might smooth things over . Anyway ... she s right , you know ? Some things are best left unspoken .
Sami : Dad . I do nt want to lie to you . I do nt want to not tell you things . I ... I just--
Roman : Sami , Sami . Did nt you just hear what your grandmother said ? Some things are better left unspoken . And you know what she s like when she does nt get her way .
Sami : Thank you , Dad .
Roman : I do have one more thing to say , though . I am on your side ... always , forever ... no matter what . Okay , Will . You got that lemonade ready over there , buddy ?
Will : Yes , sir .
Roman : Okay , and I also hate to see champagne getting warm over there , so ... you know , what this party needs is a good toast .
Caroline : Absolutely .
Roman : All right , thank you .
Stephanie : Hey , Allie , come here .
Caroline : Thank you .
Roman : Get up there , Allie . Get with your mama there . All right .
Caroline : There we are .
Roman : Okay . To Rafe and Sami . Just might be the damndest couple I ever did see .
Caroline : Oh , that s ...
Victor : Are you out of your mind ?
Brady : I got you into this . I m gon na get you out of it .
Victor : You did nt get me into anything .
Brady : Grandfather , come on , I was furious . I was -- I was drunk , and I acted recklessly , and I have to own it .
Vivian : That s right .
Brady : Look , you covered for me , because you did nt have a choice .
Victor : I always had a choice . Besides , I d rather take my lumps than never go after Maggie again .
Vivian : Oh , Maggie , Maggie , Maggie . I do nt even care about Maggie . I have bigger fish to fry . Do you know what it was like being in a coffin waiting for the end of your life , and you making jokes about it ? I m sick of you and your jokes .
Victor : Well , if it is nt young Hanson .
Hanson : Your son called the squad . He s on his way here now .
Brady : Uh , I actually needed to revise , uh , my statement . This is the good one .
Hanson : So the first was what ? What , a lie ?
Victor : No , of course not . My grandson just realized he had some of the details wrong . So if you ll just shred that other copy , take it off the computer , whatever you have to do . This is for your , uh , time and trouble .
Hanson : [ Scoffs ]
Victor : Have you and your significant other ever toured the Greek isles ? I m not using my yacht next month . It d be a shame to have it sit idle .
Brady : It s very nice .
Hanson : Thanks . [ Clears throat ]
Vivian : Oh , smoothly done , Victor .
Victor : Well , I hope you re happy .
Vivian : I m getting there .
Bo : Oh ... just when I thought my day could nt get any worse . What rock did you crawl out from under ?
Vivian : Why do nt you ask your father ?
Carly : Hey , Maxine , what s the latest on Melanie and Nathan ?
Maxine : [ Groans ] Temperature s still between 103 and 104 , both have headaches , airways are irritated .
Carly : Any difficulty breathing , signs of pneumonia ?
Maxine : Not yet .
Carly : I ca nt ... I ca nt stand this . I have to go in there .
Maxine : Hey , do nt go in there , Mama . She needs you too much .
Nathan : I mean , damn it , Melanie , are we friends ?
Melanie : Yeah . Yeah . You re the only person who knows how lousy I feel .
Nathan : And I ... I mean , we need each other right now .
Melanie : My head feels like it s gon na explode , Nathan .
Nathan : You ll be okay .
Melanie : Yes , as you , uh ...
Nathan : Move over .
Melanie : What ?
Nathan : Move over .
Rafe : [ Sighs ]
Sami : So ... was that her , um ... fifth glass of water ?
Rafe : Eh ... I waited till she fell asleep . It s a big day for her .
Sami : She misses Johnny and Sydney , and that s why she s having trouble sleeping . So she figured out something is up .
Rafe : Well , all she was talking about was the wedding and how much fun she had decorating the tree . I think she s okay . How are you ?
Sami : I was just thinking about my dad and how many times in his life he s had to clean up my messes .
Rafe : Well ... rest assured , he understands what happened . He knows EJ pushed you too far .
Sami : Rafe , he is a cop . And now he has to live with the fact that his daughter tried to murder someone .
Rafe : And he knows why .
Sami : What have I done to my family ?
Nicole : EJ ... have you thought about what could have happened today ?
EJ : You know , I ... do nt recall inviting you to stay and help yourself to a drink .
Nicole : What if Sami did nt do what was best for those children ? What if she kicked and screamed and everybody saw ?
EJ : Then she d go to prison .
Nicole : And what about Johnny ? Do nt you think he d be traumatized ? Do you really think Sydney would have just dropped off to sleep if it were nt for Sami and for me ?
EJ : Do nt push your luck .
Nicole : I m just saying , EJ ... you do nt just want your children under your roof . You want your children under your roof and happy , and you ca nt do that alone . Those children are here because of me . And you are gon na change the way you treat me ...
EJ : [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : For their sake . [ Chuckles ]
Carly : How are you ?
Nathan : I m still the same . But she s worse off than I am .
Will : [ Sighs ] Okay . That is everything .
Gabi : Um , Will , can I ask you something ?
Will : Sure .
Gabi : Did you get a chance to ask your mom what happened after we left the wedding ?
Will : No . My family is actually pretty good at not talking about stuff .
Gabi : I think that EJ was holding something over your mom s head . Is that something that Arianna had ? Is that how he was able to get the kids ?
EJ : Maybe you are .
Nicole : Maybe I am .
EJ : You know , Samantha was quite remarkable this evening .
Nicole : Yes , I ca nt wait to talk about how great Sami is .
EJ : [ Chuckles ]
Nicole : It s been a long time since I could make you laugh .
EJ : I m in a remarkably good mood . I told you .
Nicole : Uh - huh ... [ Clears throat ] Because you got what you wanted .
EJ : Yes ... thanks to you . Thank you .
Nicole : Mm - hmm . And I helped you get what you wanted . And I can also make sure you keep it .
Rafe : Come here , you . Get over here . Penguin .
Sami : [ Laughs ]
Rafe : I want you to know something . After everything that s happened tonight ... hell , after everything that s happened since I met you . I just want you to know that I ... I am so happy that we re finally married .
Sami : We re married . We re actually married . It has nt even sunk in yet .
Rafe : Oh , well , it will . Yeah . In , like , 20 or 30 years , it ll hit you .
Sami : 20 or 30 years , huh ?
Rafe : Mm . Yep . That s when you ll finally realize it . The honeymoon period-- we ll just be getting to know each other .
Sami : And what if I m in prison ? What kind of honeymoon will that be ?
Rafe : Sami .
Sami : What ?
Rafe : Listen to me . I really believe this . I do nt think God s gon na let that happen to those kids ... or you .
Sami : He s let a lot of stuff happen .
Rafe : I know .
Allie : Mommy , I ca nt sleep .
Sami : I ll be right there , sweetie . She misses Johnny and Sydney .
Bo : According to this , Maggie Horton was walking around the Kiriakis private graveyard in a daze , just as Vivian happened to come back from her vacation . And this is all a coincidence . Why do I find it hard to swallow ?
Victor : Your problem . It s the truth .
Brady : It s absolutely the truth .
Bo : [ Chuckles ] Right . Excuse me . What do you have to do with what happened to Maggie ?
Vivian : Oh , not a thing . I m just a witness . Right , Brady ?
Bo : You do realize I will talk to Maggie about all this .
Victor : Uh , we re free to go , then , I take it ?
Bo : Get out of here . Not so fast .
Vivian : Why ? You have no reason to detain me .
Bo : Why the hell did you come back to Salem ?
Vivian : Because I realized Salem is my home , and I have so many plans for the future .
Bo : I m sure you do . I will be watching you .
Vivian : And I will look forward to it .
Bo : Ta - ta .
Will : Uh ... actually , I think that s , um-- that s one of the things that we do nt talk about .
Gabi : Ah . Okay , but , will ... it s like we re family now ... in -- in a weird way . If you ever want to talk , I m here ... anytime .
Nicole : Well , I have said my piece . But if you do nt get upstairs soon , Johnny will miss his bedtime story .
EJ : And ... that s it ? Really ? You re just gon na make your case and then let it rest ? Very restrained .
Nicole : Well , I am the queen of restraint . I m off , Mr. DiMera . Have a good evening and enjoy ... the kids . Enjoy Sami s misery . One more thing ...
EJ : There always is , Nicole . There always is .
Nicole : When do I get to see Sydney again ?
EJ : [ Clears throat ] Uh , you can come by tomorrow .
Nicole : Okay . This has been a very good day indeed . Good night . I ll ... I ll see you in the morning .
EJ : [ Chuckles ] Nicole .
Bo : Send Hanson in here .
Hanson : You -- you wanted to talk to me , sir ?
Bo : Brady Black s statement is five sentences long , which tells me that he wrote it in a hurry ... although he was in this room for quite some time , as you told me . And it s no help at all , which leads me to believe that , um ... he s covering something up ... which tells me that there was an original statement . And he decided to , um ... update it .
Hanson : Yeah . Well , your father said that he wrote that first one when he was upset , so it was nt accurate .
Bo : He did , did he ? Well , I would like to read that original statement .
Hanson : It ... it no longer exists .
Bo : Because my father told you that s the way I wanted it . Well , he s wrong . Consider what you have in your pocket your severance . You re fired . Now get the hell out of my sight .
Hanson : Yes , sir .
Bo : Son of a bitch . Not again .
Victor : You want a drink ?
Brady : No .
Victor : That s a first .
Brady : Granddad , look , I just could nt let you and Philip and Nicole pay for what I started .
Victor : So you said .
Brady : I hope things will work out with you and Maggie .
Victor : Yeah , so do I.
Vivian : Well ... Gus , we got off unscathed . But the people who did this to me-- it s a very different story for them .
Daniel : I m on it . I am on the right track .
Carly : I ca nt imagine how awful you must be feeling ... and how scared you must be in there all alone . You do nt give up . Daniel and I are working on a treatment . And we wo nt let you down , I promise you . I have to go back . Daniel needs me . No , honey , I ll be back . I ll be back .
Melanie : [ Sniffling ] [ Crying ]
Nicole : There s something I have to tell you , and you should hear it from me .
EJ : Do nt lie to me .
Daniel : All right , Melanie and Nathan are going to die if I do nt help them .

Theresa : Everyone s blaming me , as usual . You know , hey , I - I did every crime from here to Chicago . You know that , right ? Except I did nt do this one , okay ? I did nt do a damn thing , and I swear to God , Brady , if you turn on me and if you get all judgmental and you start accusing me , then I do nt know . Frankly , I just -- Id rather die .
Brady : Hold on . Okay , do nt say things like that , first of--
Theresa : Well , I mean it , all right ? So I just -- I just need to know . I just need you to tell me . Are you gon na start blaming me too ?
Brady : Theresa . Oh , my God , stop , stop , stop , okay ? I do nt know what you re talking about at all .
Theresa : You did nt hear what happened ?
Brady : Mm - mm . I m assuming it s about Daniel .
Theresa : Yeah , yeah , he had to leave the operating room , and somebody else had to take over his surgery . And then the hospital -- they suspended him .
Brady : What ? Why ?
Theresa : He was high on drugs .
Liam : So what do you think your ex - priest friend would think about you destroying the only information that could ever clear his name ?
Daniel : Okay . Now , why do nt you tell me what happened ? Why are you so upset ?
Nicole : [ Sighs ] Daniel , I finally realized-- I mean , oh , this is -- this is huge . And , frankly , there s so much to tell you , I - I do nt even know where to begin .
Daniel : Okay , okay . Well , how about you , uh , start at the beginning ?
Nicole : Yeah . It s time . Actually , it s past time , Daniel . I need to tell you everything .
Marybeth : What are you doing here , girl ?
Paige : Hey .
Marybeth : You just hanging around the park , waiting to see if anyone-- oh , my God . You re hanging out with that criminal , are nt you ?
Paige : [ Scoffs ] Will you stop calling him that ?
Marybeth : Why ? JJ almost went to prison for , like , decades . He s on parole .
Paige : Probation . Try giving him a break .
Marybeth : I ca nt even count the reasons why you should nt be with that loser . Come on , listen to your best friend , will you ? Let s go get some coffee or something .
Paige : Marybeth , why do you hate him so much ?
Marybeth : I dont -- I do nt hate him . He does nt even qualify enough for me to think about him that hard . I m just trying to keep you from getting involved with someone who s only gon na drag you down .
JJ : What are you doing home ? I thought you went to Chicago to get those things for the hospital .
Abigail : I did , and now I m back , but we were nt talking about me . We were talking about Paige , remember ? I liked her that time we met . I think she s so cute , but you already know that , do nt you , obviously ? Oh , my God . Oh , look how red you re turning .
JJ : All right , will you just stop , okay ? I mean it .
Abigail : Okay .
JJ : Go do that thing that you re doing for mom . We do nt need to talk about Paige .
Abigail : You re right . We do nt . But we re going to .
Hope : I just heard .
Jennifer : [ Sighs ]
Hope : Bad day around here .
Jennifer : Really bad day . Could you excuse us , Liam , please ?
Liam : Oh , yeah , sure . Uh , I - Ill get out of your way . Take care . Remember , I - I m here when you need me .
Jennifer : It s official . Daniel s been suspended .
Hope : That was quick .
Jennifer : It s policy .
Hope : Okay , but , I mean , if he took himself out of the O.R. And turned the operation over to another doctor--
Jennifer : No , nothing matters but the blood tests . They found 15 milligrams of dilaudid in his system . 10 milligrams is a huge amount , hope .
Hope : Wow . And Daniel says he did nt do it ?
Jennifer : No . That s what we re trying to tell people -- somebody did this to him .
Hope : Do you have any idea who ?
Jennifer : No , but we have talked about it , and I know you re not gon na want to hear this ... but we think it s Theresa .
Eric : Mom , you know I ve been trying to work out how I feel about Nicole and the -- and the church s teachings .
Marlena : I know you want to stay within the church and -- and maybe even more so since you ve left the priesthood .
Eric : I do . It s been a hard decision . I feel ... very torn . But ultimately , I think God has spoken to me very clearly . My life and my future is with the woman I love . Even though I know the church wo nt approve , Nicole and I are going to be married .
Marlena : Well , right away ?
Daniel : Nicole , there is nothing you ca nt tell me , right ?
Nicole : Okay , um ... look , it all started because , uh ... you know I love Eric so much , and I do nt know what I would do without him .
Daniel : Okay , no , no , ignore that . Ignore that . Stay here .
Nicole : And because I love him so much , I made some decisions that--
Daniel : Okay , would you just l - leave it ? Leave it . Just talk to me , Nicole .
Nicole : Okay , you need to take this -- it s Brady .
Daniel : Oh , my God , you are stubborn . Brady , hey , what s up ?
Brady : Daniel , hey . I just heard . I know damn well you do nt do drugs , so what the hell happened ?
Daniel : I wish I knew . I was totally blindsided .
Brady : Blindsi -- what -- what , do you think it was an accident , or ... or you think someone slipped you something ?
Daniel : Mm , I was definitely set up .
Brady : Do you have any idea ?
Daniel : Well , Brady , you re on the hospital board . I ca nt talk to you about this .
Brady : You got it . Um , I was just thinking about you , okay , man ?
Daniel : I appreciate that . All right , take care . All right , let s get back to it . You were going to tell me--
Nicole : Daniel . I ca nt believe you re going through this . You said you would be stuck with the consequences , and I finally realized that you could lose everything .
Daniel : Okay , let s not-- let s not go there yet , okay ? I - I - Ive got tons of support .
Nicole : Okay , but what if that s not enough ? Look what happened to Eric . His career was ruined because Kristen somehow got those drugs into him .
Daniel : Ho -- ho -- ho -- ho -- ho-- hold on . This -- this is different . Eric -- he had no idea what happened or who did it . Now , have you talked to Eric since I was in the hospital ?
Nicole : Yeah .
Daniel : Okay , then you know that Jennifer and I -- we suspect that it was Theresa .
Nicole : Theresa , right . Okay , well , you might think it s her , but--
Daniel : Oh , I do nt just think , Nicole . I know . And believe me , I will find a way to get her to admit it , and then I am gon na make that woman pay .
Nicole : No , Daniel , wait a minute . You do nt understand . I came here to help you . But first , there s just some things I need to tell you .
Hope : What ? Theresa ? She never learns , does she ?
Jennifer : We do nt know she s the one .
Hope : Well , then you know what ? It s time to find out , do nt you think ? And the best way to put pressure on Theresa is through Kimberly and Shane . Even if they just call and start asking , she ll feel under the gun . Then I ll sit her down and question her--
Jennifer : Okay , I appreciate you wanting to help , but you just have to step back for right now .
Hope : Why ?
Jennifer : Because the hospital has certain procedures they have to follow . There has to be a whole internal investigation first .
Hope : Okay . Your call .
Jennifer : Thanks .
JJ : Hey , do nt go saying anything to mom about Paige , will you ?
Abigail : Why not ?
JJ : You know why . Mom will bring it up every ten minutes and never stop asking about her .
Abigail : [ Sighs ] Kind of like you never stop thinking about her ?
JJ : Abigail , will you just leave it ? And Paige is nt a big deal . I mean , we re friends ... friendly . I do nt even really care that much .
Abigail : JJ , I - I think I need to give you some advice .
JJ : No .
Abigail : Listen , there s a much easier way to go about this than to just--
JJ : Did nt I just say no ?
Abigail : Well , yeah , but I m your sister , so I do nt have to listen . Here s the thing . You have to think about how this is coming across to her , from-- from a woman s perspective .
JJ : How what s coming across ?
Abigail : You , your attitude . You re trying so hard to be cool that you re sending the wrong signals . It s not a big deal . You do nt really care . Keep that up , and Paige might think that you actually do nt care . [ Cell phone rings ] And trust me , you do . You would nt be blushing like that . I ve never -- oh , my God .
JJ : What ?
Abigail : Daniel got suspended . Uh , you -- you drive , and I ll get the details .
Theresa : I was nt there till later , but that s what Maxine told Eric at least . Then the test came back dilaudid , and -- so then the hospital had to follow procedure and suspend him .
Brady : That s unbelievable .
Theresa : Well ... [ Chuckles ] It s not really . I mean , Daniel s hardly the first doctor to use something to get himself up or down . It goes on all the time .
Brady : No , no , no , no . Daniel would never use drugs .
Theresa : I m not saying he s , like , a chronic drug user , but ... [ Sighs ] That s just the buzz around the hospital , okay ? What ? Brady , do nt look at me like that . I was with you this morning . And besides , I would nt do something like that .
Brady : His life could ve been at risk from that drug .
Theresa : Right ... which is why I would nt do that to anyone , okay ? I m not that vindictive . [ Sighs ] Brady , come on ... you believe me , do nt you ?
Eric : No , mom , we re not getting married right away , so you can put your heart back in your chest now .
Marlena : I did nt say anything against it .
Eric : You did nt have to . It s going to happen .
Marlena : Well , then fine . This had to be a very tough decision . The church teachings mean so much to you , maybe even more now that you re no longer a priest .
Eric : True , but it s the right decision .
Marlena : Then I m happy for you . What ? What ?
Eric : There s just something you re not saying . Come on , this is confession time . We have to clear the air now .
Daniel : You know , Nicole , you do nt , uh -- you do nt have to explain . I already know .
Nicole : You do ?
Daniel : You are an amazing friend , you know that ?
Nicole : [ Sighs ]
Daniel : You want to do what you did with Eric , use your job , the database at the TV station , access information and clear my name , right ?
Nicole : Yeah , I mean , that s the idea .
Daniel : And that is very , very thoughtful . And honestly , IM ... I m touched . But I got to say I do nt think this is the way we should go with this one . And , I mean , yeah , you really put the pressure on Chyka , and what you did there , mm , it was-- it was great , and we almost cleared Eric s name . I mean , we came so close . But you -- you got to remember . Theresa has a video of JJ at her apartment the night she ODd . And it could get his probation revoked , and he could be sent directly to prison , and that would kill Jennifer .
Nicole : Yeah , but Theresa might not be--
Daniel : Theresa is a volcano . Just stay away from Theresa .
Nicole : Okay . Understood .
Daniel : Good . Thank you . Thank you so much . It s just ...
Nicole : Actually , Daniel , my plan here is that ... [ Sighs ] First , I just need to explain some things to you . I just ...
Daniel : Okay , what ? Is it about the plan ? Just talk to--
Daniel : Okay , just hold -- just hang-- hold on , hold on . Ill -- Ill get ...
Abigail : Hi .
Daniel : Hey .
Abigail : Hey . Hi , Nicole .
JJ : I just heard , man . This really sucks . W - what can we do ?
Abigail : Yeah , you name it . We ll do anything .
Daniel : Well , Nicole here-- I think she had some sort of plan she was trying to lay out . She s about to go into the details .
Abigail : Great .
Daniel : Nicole ? When Jake and I first set out on our own ,
Marlena : I want you ... to be happy . If she makes you happy , then I say you go for it .
Eric : [ Scoffs ]
Marlena : [ Laughing ] What now ?
Eric : I never thought I d hear you say that .
Eric : Ah . I need to get going . I just ... thank you . This means a lot to me . I ll call you later .
Marlena : You d better .
Aiden : Oh , hey .
Eric : Oh , hey . Good to see you .
Marlena : Aiden Jennings-- the man I ve been looking for .
Chase : Um , miss Brady ?
Hope : Hey , chase .
Chase : Um , I m on a field trip . It s to watch how they make frozen yogurt .
Hope : Wow . Good for you . Sounds like fun . How are you ?
Chase : I might as well give this to you now . Then I wo nt have to mail it .
Hope : Oh .
Chase : It s a thank - you note .
Hope : Well , thank you . Uh , you did nt have to do this .
Chase : My dad made me .
Hope : Oh . Bye . [ Chuckles ] Thank you for getting the bad guy . He was gon na steal my phone , and you were really cool . Yours sincerely , chase Jennings .
Marybeth : Does nt this prove something , Paige ? JJ says he s gon na meet up with you and then blows you off ?
Paige : He s just late . I should text him .
Marybeth : Should nt he be the one texting you ?
Paige : Marybeth , it -- it was-- it was just a casual thing , not like a date date . Maybe something happened . I do nt know .
Marybeth : Or maybe he found something better to do ... or someone to do it with .
Daniel : Nicole , is there something ...
Nicole : I , um ... well , I mean , I need to-- you know , why do nt we talk strategy later ?
Daniel : Right , yeah . No , I - I - I think it can wait . Yeah , but do nt worry . Yeah , Nicole has ways of finding out information like nobody can .
Abigail : Because she works at the television station , right ?
Daniel : Exactly .
JJ : Yeah , I - I heard that you were really into helping father Eric .
JJ : Almost got enough evidence to clear him . Well , that s what cousin hope said .
Nicole : Almost .
Abigail : Well , anything that you can do to help Daniel is great . Listen , I got to get going . My mom needs me at the hospital , so ...
Daniel : Okay , great . All right , well , just give-- give her my love .
Abigail : I will . Thanks , bye . Oh , um ... good luck , Nicole .
Nicole : Thanks .
JJ : I ll see you .
Nicole : What was that ?
Daniel : Ah . That would be my son Parker . Sounds like he s awake . I will be right back .
Nicole : [ Sighs ] So , um ... you just hanging out ?
JJ : Yeah . Yeah . I mean , this whole thing ... Theresa doing something like this to Daniel .
Nicole : If she did it .
JJ : Are you kidding ? Sticking it to people is what she does .
Nicole : Right . Well , I got to go , so , um , just tell Daniel I ll call him later .
JJ : Uh , n - Nicole , w - wait . Please ? Um ... I was really rotten to you ... you know , the stuff that I said , you know , back when ?
Nicole : Yeah , I seem to remember . Mm - hmm .
JJ : Well , I - I wanted to tell you that I m sorry . I was , um -- I was a jerk , and I was screwed up . And I m -- I m sorry .
Nicole : Wow . Usually I m the one who s apologizing . It s okay . We re good .
JJ : Thanks . Thanks . So do you actually think that your job , you know , can help you figure out how Theresa did it ?
Nicole : I got to go . Just tell Daniel that I ll call him later .
JJ : Right .
Nicole : [ Sighs ]
Liam : You stay out of my business , and I ll happily stay out of yours . But remember , all you have is conjecture , offhanded theories . I ve got hard evidence in hand .
Theresa : Brady , do you believe me or not ?
Brady : Let me explain something to you . I have issues with Daniel ... and Jennifer and my family and this whole damn town because they do nt want me drinking . And I ve taken a lot of crap because I ve been seeing you . But ... in case you have nt noticed ... I do nt listen to anybody but me when it comes to my personal life , all right ?
Theresa : [ Sighs ]
Brady : Did you overhear me on the phone earlier ?
Theresa : [ Sighs ] That Daniel never did drugs ?
Brady : That s right . He s my friend . He s my good friend . As a matter of fact , he s probably my best friend I have in this town . And I love Jenn very much . I protect the people that I love fiercely , Theresa . So , if anybody messes with them or if anyone tries to hurt them ... I d crush them . Is that clear ?
Theresa : You did nt answer my question . Fighting constipation by
Aiden : Uh , you know , I wanted to thank you for interviewing my client and sending that report to the judge . It was very helpful .
Marlena : You re so welcome . And I must thank you for the referral . I now have a new client thanks to you .
Aiden : I m sorry ?
Marlena : Well , somebody from your son s school -- I assume that was your referral ?
Aiden : Uh , no , I did nt refer anyone .
Marlena : Oh . Sorry . I guess I assumed that when you asked for my card .
Aiden : Uh , well , um ... [ Clears throat ] That was , uh ... personal .
Brady : Yes , I believe you ... for now .
Theresa : [ Sighs ] Excuse me ? What the hell kind of comment is that ?
Brady : Listen , I need to know the truth . I need to know what happened . You were here with me this morning when Daniel was at the hospital , right ? I will back that up if anyone tries to challenge that . But you -- your whereabouts when Daniel actually got the hit may not be the issue .
Theresa : Oh . Right . You mean , like , if I got one of my secret agents to just go in and stick him with a needle when he was bending over to tie his shoe ? God , I mean , why the hell are you accusing me of something you know damn well I did nt do ?
Brady : Listen to me . I like you . I like you very much . We have a lot of fun together . It s great , but you have had this thing with Daniel and Jennifer since you came to town , this over - the - top hatred for them , and they want nothing to do with you , Theresa .
Theresa : Yeah , well , that s mutual . That does nt mean that I drugged Daniel .
Brady : I hope you did nt . I pray to God that you did nt . And the fact that you re here right now sharing this with me and talking to me about it tells me that you did nt .
Theresa : [ Sighs ]
Brady : But I s-- I still ...
Theresa : You still what ? Suspect me ?
Brady : If it turns out that you were pulling off some -- some elaborate cover story , and that you lied to me or held anything back ... you re gon na have a much bigger problem than whether or not you and I hang out together .
Paige : Why would JJ forget about meeting me and find someone else to-- are you talking about that girl Beth ?
Marybeth : Or any other loser who walks by in a tight skirt . Guys go for whoever gives them what they want .
Paige : No , JJ s not like that .
Marybeth : You think ? He has nt showed , has he ? Has nt texted ?
Paige : No .
Marybeth : No . So forget about him , okay ? Come on , let s go to TBD and get something to drink .
Paige : But if he-- yeah , okay .
Daniel : Hurry up . Parker s getting ready . My sitter s meeting us in a little while . Where s Nicole ?
JJ : She left . Listen , about Theresa , there s got to be some way I can help you take her down .
Daniel : What ? No . JJ -- no , we talked about this . I do nt want you doing anything . Clear ? Zero . Remember what she has on you ?
JJ : Yeah , and I m the reason why you ca nt really go after her .
Daniel : Okay , do nt do a guilt trip on yourself , JJ .
JJ : No , no , I - I m serious . No , I mean it . If there is a way , any way , that you can bring that bitch down , you do what you got to do .
Daniel : [ Sighs ]
JJ : But whatever happens to me happens . And ... if I end up going to prison , then so be it .
Eric : Sorry I m running late . I was-- Nicole , what s wrong ?
Nicole : [ Sighs ] I , um ... Daniel s in terrible trouble . I wanted to help , but I did nt . I am such a jerk .
Eric : It s gon na be all right . I promise , okay ? Look at you . You are ready to take on the world just to help a friend . That s one more reason why I love you . You re a wonderful friend .
Nicole : No , stop saying that . No , I m not . I m horrible .
Daniel : Uh , JJ , I - I appreciate that you care , but there is no way we are gon na put you at risk . Look , I got this , man . I m gon na get this done . I got your mom . I got Nicole , Eric , all sorts of people in my corner . You need to concentrate on school and living your life .
JJ : Okay . Okay , thank you , and ... I really appreciate that .
Daniel : And like I said , I appreciate your concern . Your wanting to help me , it-- it means a lot to me . All right , I got to get going . Joanna s meeting us at 3 : 00 , so ...
JJ : 3 : 00 ? Oh , no , I - I was supposed to meet someone at 2 : 00 .
Daniel : Well , then you better get going .
JJ : [ Sighs ] Okay , um ... all right , man , thank you . All right , we ll talk soon .
Daniel : You got it .
JJ : I hope everything works out .
Daniel : It will . It will . Go . Go .
JJ : [ Sighs ] Paige is gon na kill me .
Marybeth : I m just saying , okay ? And a guy like JJ s not worth worrying about anyway , so ...
Paige : Marybeth , can -- can we just drop it , please ? I m gon na go get our drinks , maybe some cookies .
Nicole : Why does everyone keep saying I m this great friend ? I m not . I have nt done anything to help Daniel . He s this -- he s this terrific doctor , and he s been suspended , and I have nt done a thing !
Eric : Hey , Nicole , do nt blame yourself .
Nicole : But it s wrong . It is so wrong .
Eric : No , no , no , you just listen to me . After what you did , you tried to help me ... God , you did everything you can by risking your life trying to get me reinstated in the priesthood . And now you think you have to do something extraordinary to help Daniel , and if you do nt , you re not working hard enough . Do nt blame yourself if you ca nt achieve a miracle .
Nicole : Eric ... I could ve helped him more than I have -- a lot more .
Eric : Okay , okay , listen . The way I heard Daniel , he made it very clear that we need to tread carefully . And after I talked to Theresa , I backed away , okay ? So , if he needs you to do anything that involves Theresa , he ll ask .
Nicole : But what if people are -- are missing something ?
Marlena : I m sorry . I did nt understand .
Aiden : No , no , no , it s -- it s not your fault . I kept it sort of vague when I asked for your card , so ...
Marlena : That s fine . If I can help you in any way ...
Aiden : Look ... I know you re the best , okay ? And your reputation is terrific . But I also know that you are incredibly connected to almost everyone in Salem .
Marlena : So , if you re wondering ... I take confidentiality very seriously . Whatever you would say to me privately would stay private .
Aiden : Right . Right , um ...
Hope : Hey , Marlena . Hi . Hi , Aiden .
Aiden : Hey .
Hope : Uh , sorry . Am I interrupting ?
Aiden : [ Chuckles ] No .
Theresa : What the hell , Brady ? I mean , you say you believe me , but , oh -- oh , yeah , you do nt .
Brady : Theresa ... I do believe you .
Theresa : Yeah , till you can prove I m a liar , right ?
Brady : Hey . I never said that . Listen -- listen ... I will defend you against anyone who comes after you about this , all right ? You were here with me . I know that . But I need to investigate this until I find the truth .
Theresa : Here it comes .
Brady : Theresa , if I find out ... something ... that leads to your involvement in this , no matter how small ... I will come after you , okay ?
Theresa : Yeah , well , guess what . You wo nt find anything . You know , I know no one believes this , Brady , but I m actually a pretty good person . So ... I m gon na give you a pass for all those nasty threats you just made . Just so you know , I - I wo nt wait forever for you to make it up to me .
Liam : What s that ?
Theresa : The key to Dr. Dan s apartment . [ Sighs ] I did nt know he d really do something . No , it -- it s -- it s not my fault . It-- [ Sighs ] Maybe I should just admit what I did . I mean , sometimes ... sometimes things just get worse when you try to hide that-- no -- agh . I do nt know what the hell-- I do nt know what the hell to do . Okay , just ... I just need to mellow out . [ Sighs ]
Jennifer : [ Sighs ]
Liam : Hey .
Jennifer : Oh , hi .
Liam : Look , I know when we talked earlier , you were ... well , upset , so ...
Jennifer : Yeah , I - I m fine now .
Liam : Good . Believe me , I know how hard it is when you realize you ve been fooled by someone for a very long time . When my ex - wife turned out to--
Jennifer : You know , Liam , I do nt think that I was clear earlier , so let me spell it out for you . I believe in Daniel completely , and I know that he would never do any kind of drug willingly . I will never doubt him .
JJ : [ Sighs ] She left . [ Sighs ]
Aiden : Uh , no , no , no , you re not interrupting at all . I was just thanking Marlena for some work she did for the court .
Hope : Oh .
Marlena : Yep , and I have an appointment . I must dash . So good to see you , Aiden .
Aiden : Yes , you too .
Marlena : And , you , call me . We ll have coffee .
Hope : Absolutely . You can count on it . Bye . I did nt know you and Marlena knew each other .
Eric : Probably we are all missing something , missing a lot of things . Now , how someone could get Daniel to take such a powerful painkiller is -- is bizarre .
Nicole : Which sort of implies that someone like Theresa could nt pull it off .
Eric : Maybe . Maybe she had help . What we need is the truth to come out , but we need the truth to come out in the right way .
Nicole : Yeah . It has to be done the right way .
Daniel : All right , Parker , you be good for Joanna . All right , have fun .
Brady : Hey . I heard .
Jennifer : Yeah . It s really bad . It is worse than bad .
Brady : And your main suspect is Theresa .
Jennifer : She s at the top of our list .
Brady : Jenn , do nt take this the wrong way . Is there any way it could be somebody else ... anyone at all you can think of ?
Liam : What the hell is the matter with you , Jennifer ? I m the one you should be with , not that son of a bitch doctor . I could -- I could -- I could-- I could destroy Daniel Jonas . It would nt be hard . Easy , in fact . Well ... [ Chuckles ] Jenn , if you re just gon na make me do it , then I ll have to do it , wo nt I ? The sooner , the better .

Brandon : Well , I will try not to depress you .
Lexie : It s too late .
Brandon : Am I not welcome here ?
Lexie : Not if you re going to make me feel D.D.
Brandon : I am never going to make you feel bad ever again , and that s why I m here -- to let you know that .
Lexie : I do nt get it .
Brandon : I want you to be happy , to have peace of mind , so I m going to respect your wishes and not talk to you anymore about abe .
Lexie : Really ? You re going to stop badmouthing abe . But that s your favorite hobby , is nt it ? Trying to turn people against my husband , especially me .
Brandon : Where s all this hostility coming from you ? We just spoke , and -- and you were gushing about -- about how much I mean to you .
Lexie : I did nt gush , okay ?
Brandon : Well , you were being real nice , and now , suddenly , I get the cold shoulder , the sarcasm ? Why ?
Lexie : Okay , okay , I ll tell you why . Because you dropped by without calling , and then you stare at me with that grim expression . Brandon , look , I m trying to keep myself together here , okay ? And then you come over , and you just start in about abe and -- oh .
Brandon : I just told you , I m not going to start in anymore . In fact , I m going to lay off him for good . I m through hating abe .
Lexie : Really ? Just like that ?
Brandon : No , not just like that . I ve been -- I ve been working on it , reminding myself that you love him , that you keep going back to him . He must give you something you need , and I m going to respect that from now on , for your sake and for my own .
Lexie : That s really great . It -- it really is . And I m sorry -- I m sorry if I ve been hard on you . I just -- I do nt know . I ve just been getting so moody lately . You know , hormones and all .
Brandon : I understand .
Lexie : Ha ha . So , um , now that we re friends , um , if you re going to stop your anti - abe agenda , that means we can be even better friends , right ? No more arguments , okay ?
Brandon : I want to be a part of your life , lexie .
> Exexie ; : Oh , you always will be .
Brandon : Right .
Lexie : But sami does nt want that , does she ?
Brandon : Well , that is her problem .
Lexie : It is yours , too , brandon . She hates that you care about me , even just as a friend , which is why she s going to try to make it real hard for you to be part of my life .
Brandon : Well , then , she ll be wasting her time , wo nt she ?
Abe : Um ... what are you talking about , sami ? Why does lexie need me right now ?
Sami : Well , my dad just told me that larry welch might still be alive . I mean , the maniac kidnapped hope and zack and framed lexie for it . If he really is alive , he might want to make her pay , you know , for setting him up to get caught .
Abe : Sami , I have police officers watching my house .
Sami : Well , you should be there with your wife . I mean , she might be afraid for her life right now . The stress is not good forer or the baby .
Abe : All right , let s get real , sami . Why are you suddenly so protective of lexie ?
Abe : Excuse me .
Abe : Yeah . Commander carver .
Man : Hello , commander . I was told to call you if mrs . Carver has any unscheduled visitors , sir . Brandon walker just arrived .
Abe : All right , thank you . All right , sami . We ll continue this conversation later .
Bo : What -- using welch as a cover - up ? Who the hell came up with that brilliant conclusion ?
Roman : D.A. Palmer . He s putting a lot of pressure on abe not to waste manpow on the search for welch .
Bo : I should have known that little weasel would try to tie my hands .
Roman : Well , what he is saying is saying that you re trying to implicate a dead man to protect one of your own , and he feels the letter that colin left pointing a finger at the bradys supports his argument .
Bo : Damn it , roman . No one -- no one in this family is a killer .
Roman : I know that . Now just calm down . I am just trying to fill you in , that s all . Agree , and palmer is not going to be able to prove this ridiculous allegation .
Bo : Yeah . Well , I ll find larry , throw him in prison . That ll prove he s alive .
Larry : What s wrong ? You do nt like roses , hmm ? Should I have gotten petunias ? The flowers are just the beginning , you know . I ve got a lot more surprises for our first valentine s day back together again .
Hope : You re not in my head . You re alive and real .
Larry : Oh , yes . I m very alive and very real and ready for us to start our life together again .
Hope : No . No .
Larry : You know , hope , I wish you d just stop fighting me and accept the inevitable . You are mine ... for life . Wle in
Lexie : So , you re not afraid of sami brady . Is that what you re saying ?
Brandon : Samantha is going to have to accept that you and i have a connection , and nothing is going to change that .
Lexie : Do you know what y j just did when you said that ?
Brandon : What I did ?
Lexie : You looked down .
Brandon : What ?
Lexie : Right here .
Brandon : No , I didnT.
Lexie : At my baby .
Brandon : What are you talking about ?
Lexie : Brandon , you said we have a connection , and then you looked down .
Brandon : Lexie , you imagined it .
Lexie : To hell I D.D. Why were you looking at my baby ?
Brandon : I m leaving .
Lexie : You have no connection with my child . If that s what you re thinking , then ...
Brandon : What ? If that s what I m thinking , what ?
Lexie : Then you are dead wrong .
Brandon : Maybe you are . Did that ever occur to you ?
Abe : All right . So what s going on here ?
Lexie : Oh , nothing . Brandon was ju l leaving .
Abe : And what s he doing here in the first place ?
Brandon : Look , I came by to see how lexie was doing , but not to worry . I wo nt bother her anymore .
Brandon : You take care , lexie .
Abe : So what was that about ? What d he want ?
Belle : You know , mimi , I really do need to get back to my packing .
Mimi : I know , I know , I know , but I ca nt let you leave without giving you this .
Belle : Okay , what kind of present did you get me that I had to come all the way up here for ?
Mimi : Hey , we re at lookout point , all right ? Maybe it s a hot guy you can shove into your carryon .
Belle : Mimi !
Mimi : Wait here a second aniIll go get him out of my car .
Belle : Ha ha ha ha .
Belle : [ Coughs ]
Belle : Rex , you guys really should nt have done this .
Rex : See you later .
Belle : What do you mean , see you later ? Where are you going ? Hey ! Mimi and rex just took off and left us here .
Shawn - d : Do nt worry . I ll take you back .
Belle : Thanks .
Shawn - d : Damn it ! Rex took my key .
Belle : Great . I guess we re stuck here .
Larry : How about it , hope ? Will you be my valentine ?
Hope : You crazy bastard . I hate you . Get away from me .
Larry : Oh , come on , hope .
Hope : Getwaway from me .
Larry : Stop fighting it . Stop fighting me .
Hope : Oh ! No ! ca nt wait ! Well l -
Sami : Brandon , are you there ?
Sami : Oh . You are here . Oh , that s great . Um ... so , how did things go with lexie ? What did you talk to her about ?
Brandon : Various things .
Sami : That s not really an answer .
Brandon : I told her that I was nt going to talk to her about abe anymore , at least not in a negative way .
Sami : You re kidding .
Brandon : I realize now that that was nt fair .
Sami : What took you so long ?
Brandon : Thanks for the support , samantha .
Sami : Oh . I m sorry , okay ? It just caught me off - guard . I mean , you re taking a really big step . I think that s great , you know ? You re choosing the high road . I m impressed .
Brandon : Why d you come to see me ?
Sami : Well , you said that we needed to talk . I thought now would be a good time . Rand : Mm . Well , you should have waited for me to call you .
Sami : I thought we were beyond the game - playing stage .
Brandon : This is nt about games , samantha . This is about having some pride , about not pushing me , pressuring me for answers .
Sami : I m pushing you because I m in love with you , and I do nt know how to back off when all I want to do is be with you .
Brandon : Well , you should want other things .
Sami : You mean -- you mean like a career ? You re upset that I m not more ambitious ?
Brandon : No , of course not .
Sami : Is that why you re attracted to lexie , cause she went to medical school , she s a doctor ?
Brandon : No , that s not why .
Sami : Well , there s got to be a reason . I mean , it s not like she s a barrel of laughs .
Bndon : Samantha , we are not talking about lexie .
Sami : I would love to not talk about lexie anymore , and if you promise not to see her anymore , I wonT.
Brandon : That s not only a promise I ca nt make , I wonT.
Sami : I see . So where does that leave us ?
Belle : Mimi and rex probably thought they were doing us a favor , leaving us stranded up here . Probably t we d kiss and make up . Shows what they know .
Belle : Take a look , shawn . I remember this spot .
Belle : This is where we built our snowman . It s the first time you told me you ...
Belle : Anyway , that was a long time ago . It s too bad we did nt have more snow this year . I wish we had snow . I wish we had our snowman . I wish we could go back in time .
Shawn - d : We ca nt go back . We can never go back , because everything is different .
Belle : How , shawn ? I still love you . I do nt understand .
Shawn - d : You do nt have to understand , okay ? You do nt have to . So just donT. Just stop . Just please stop .
Belle : Stop what ? I m not doing anything !
Shawn - d : Just stop loving me !
Bo : Get your hands off my --
Hope : God , no !
Shawn - d : Stop loving me !
Belle : Shawn , shawn , stop it ! You re hurting me !
Shawn - d : I m sorry . I m sorry .
Belle : You know , I thought maybe you were in a bad place , but it s more than that . When you grabbed me just now , the way you looked at me , I saw something in you that I have never seen before . I saw rage and hatred .
Shawn - d : I do nt hate you .
Belle : Shawn , I saw it , okay ? What did I do to you to make you feel this way ?
Shawn - d : Nothing ! You ve done nothing , okay ? I just -- I found out that -- that larry welch could still be alive .
Belle : How is that possible ?
Shawn - d : I do nt know . I do nt know . My dad and uncle roman -- they re trying to track him down .
Belle : Shawn , I m sorry .
Shawn - d : Oh -- just get your hands off me , all right ? I do nt need your pity . I want welch , cause I want him dead . I want him dead .
Belle : What has happened to you ?
Shawn - d : He s got to die ! I m telling you ! Cause I want him dead , belle !
Belle : Okay , I have to get out of here .
Shawn - d : No , just -- please , just --
Belle : Do nt touch me .
Hope : [ Gasps ]
Bo : Whoa , whoa , whoa . Take it easy . It s all right . It s okay .
Hope : Are you all right ?
Bo : Yeah , yeah , I m fine .
Hope : But -- I was sure that larry was here .
Bo : It s okay . It s okay . Must have been a dream .
Hope : Oh , god , when is thisoioing to stop ?
Bo : Do you want to tell me about the dream ?
Hope : I thought larry was you . He brought me roses for valentine s day . He kissed me , to m me I was his . Oh , brady , I felt so helpless . He had a gun . I could nt get away from him . Then suddenly you were there , and he shot you .
Hope : I can still feel his arms aund meme , his breath on my face . And the gun going off , and the sound of your body hitting the floor -- god , it felt so real . He said he would always be with me . He s right . He s never going to go away . He s never going to go away , brady .
Bo : It s okay .
Larry : Bo and hope s house . Yeah . Not like a stroll in central park , but , uh ... definitely doable . Ohyeyeah . Yeah . It s time this sewer rat paid a surprise visit to the happy home . Ha ha ha ha .
Abe : Okay . Here we go . We re out of cheese and crackers , so I hope that cookies a t tea will be okay .
Lexie : Oh , yeah , it s perfect . Thank you .
Abe : There you are . So , anyway , you still have nt told me what you and brandon were talking about .
Lexie : Oh , he was just here a few minutes , honey .
Abe : What were you talking about , lexie ?
Lexie : Um ... he said that he s going to back off his I hate abe stance -- when he s around me , anyway .
Abe : Why should he suddenly do that ? He s been badmouthing me for years to anyone who ll listen . Now he s going to back off ?
Lexie : He says he does nt want to make me uncomfortable .
Abe : Why -- why do -- why do you believe a word he says ? That s what I do nt get . He does nt want to make you uncomfortable . Give me a break .
Lexie : No , how about you give brandon a break , hmm ?
Abe : You know what ?
Lexie : What ?
Abe : I have tried so many times to give that guy a break , and all he ever does is sneer at me . I mean , he just clings to this belief that I am single- handedly responsible for everything that s rotten in his life , and I -- I am not going to buy into it anymore , okay ? I mean , he s a grown man , so whatever anger he has toward his mother and toward me , he should damn well get over it . I -- yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . Hi---- his father hurt him , and that man , I mean , he -- he was just an evil , evil bastard . But he has got to stop hating me for my involvement with his mother . I mean , my god . You know , people fall in love with each other . It s just -- why am I even talking about this ?
Lexie : I was wondering that myself .
Abe : It -- it s just so damn frustrating . I mean , brandon s whole attitude toward me , this -- this constant , constant accusation .
Lexie : Okay . Stop . Can we move on to something else ?
Abe : Yeah , yeah .
Lexie : Okay .
Abe : Let s see here . I think I got it right over here . Let me see . Aha . Here it is . And here you go .
Lexie : Oh , abe .
Abe : Well , I thought we d celebrate valentine s a little bit early . Here , open the card first .
Lexie : What did you do ?
Abe : Just open it .
Lexie : Okay .
Abe : Ha ha ha ha .
Lexie : To my wife -- your love means everything to me . I could nt ask for more .
Abe : Now -- now the gift .
Lexie : No , wait . I m still enjoying the card .
Abe : Well , you can enjoy that more later on . Now the gift . Open the gift . Come on . Ha ha .
Lexie : Okay . You re just so impatient . You know that .
Abe : Ha ha ha . I know .
Lexie : Yeah , well , hmm .
Lexie : Oh , abe . Oh , look at this .
Abe : Yeah . See , I thought when the baby was born , you could have that setting filled with his birthstone .
Lexie : Oh . Now I feel guilty .
Abe : Why ?
Lexie : Cause I did nt get you anything .
Abe : Oh . Well , that s okay , honey . That s okay , you know ? Cause you are off the hook . Cause in a few months , you are going to give me the most precious gift of all .
Lexie : Our baby .
Abe : Yeah . Oh , yeah .
Lexie : Oh , yeah .
Abe : Mm .
Lexie : I love you .
Abe : Oh , I love you .
Bo : I agree . That dream , it s -- a symptom , part of the post - traumatic stress . But that does nt mean you re always going to be sick , that larry s always going to be with you .
Hope : You say that , brady , but we do nt really --
Bo : Hey , look , you just found out that he could still be alive , that he might be messing with your head . Probably set you back a little bit .
Hope : It m o than a setback .
Bo : Hope , you got to keep the faith . If you re going to beat this thing , you got to keep fighting .
Hope : I do nt know how much more fight I have left in me . This has gone on for a long time . I m scared . I m scared for zack , shawn , you .
Bo : I got it .
Hope : What ?
Bo : I know what we have to do . Looking go on a winter getaway ? Th .
Belle : Do nt come in here , shawn !
Rex : Belle , is -- - rex .
Belle : Rex . Thanks l lot .
Rex : What do you --
Belle : You know exactly what I m talking about . I am so mad at you and mimi for coming up with that lame idea , trying to set shawn and me up .
Rex : Did nt go well .
Belle : I know he s had a really rough year , but there s no excuse for the way he acted .
Rex : Well , what happened ?
Belle : He scared me . I ve never seen him act like that before . It s like he had to contain himself from trying to hurt me .
Rex : What ? You mean --
Belle : Physically hurt me , attack me . It s like he s a different person , rex -- someone that I never knew . That is not the shawn that I fell in love with .
Mimi : Shawn ? Hello ?
Shawn - d : Your scheme to get us back together -- it did nt work . Belle s gone .
Mimi : Where d she go ?
Shawn - d : She ran away from me , and I - I chased after her , cause we re out in the middle of nowhere , but she flagged down a bus at the bottom of the hill .
Mimi : I m sorry . I hope you re not angry with me for trying .
Shawn - d : I do nt have a right to be angry with anyone .
Mimi : Uh , rex took your keys . I m sure you want them back .
Shawn - d : I yelled at her . I took hold of her , and I - I -- I hurt her . I - I just -- I - I lost myself . I -- and I lost belle .
Mimi : What exactly happened tonight , shawn ?
Shawn - d : She thinks I hate her .
Mimi : That s impossible .
Shawn - d : And I ve been -- I ve been feeling these things lately , I ve been feeling them for a while . I just -- I m scared -- I m scared of what I might do .
Mimi : What you might do ?
Shawn - d : You -- you do nt know what I m capable of , I. You donT. So you know what ? You should just go . You should just go , and you should just get away from me , because I m afraid of what -- I m afraid I might hurt youtoo .
Bo : Do nt worry . I ll get it . Hey .
Roman : Hey .
Bo : Thanks for coming by so quick .
Roman : No problem . There s my beautiful sister - in - law . Hi , hope .
Hope : Hi . What a nice surprise .
Bo : I asked big brother to come by to , um , reassure you .
Roman : Yeah . Do nt worry . Abe and I are on top of things . We will continue to follow the leads we ve got while you and bo are away . Hope : Ee re not going away .
Bo : Well , yeah , we are . I made a couple phone calls while I was upstairs taking care of zack . We lucked out . Got a couple rooms at green mountain lodge -- one for you and me , and one for doug and julie . They ve agreed to take care of zack while you and i have some alone time . Thought it d be good for you and I to get away . Besides , tomorrow s valentine s day .
Hope : Brady .
Roman : Ha ha ha ha . All right , I think that is my cue to leave . And , uh , I ll be keeping watch of shawn , all right ?
Bo : All right , thanks .
Roman : While you two enjoy that time away .
Hope : Roman , thank you .

Bo : Yeah , well , I wish I could do more . Find larry welch and ... put him away . End this nightmare .
Man : I have men posted at allois s of entry . We sweep the property every hour . If anybody even looks at this house , we ll know .
Roman : All right . Make sure you do . I m going to go brief the guys before we go .
Larry : Honey , I m home . These are soldiers . For many of them , it ll be in this room where the real battle is won or lost . You do nt have to solve all their problems . The power of compassion . You can be the one guy in the system that can just stand by them . Now their only hope is others who suffered . Tonight s global national with kevin newman .
Bndndon : Hello .
Lexie : It s me . I do nt like the way it ended with us today .
Brandon : Look , I ca nt talk right now .
Lexie : I do nt want you to talk . I want you to listen . This baby I m having is not yours .
Brandon : I never said that it was .
Lexie : You do nt have to say it . I know what you re thinking , brandon , whether you put it into words or not , so no more stopping by , understand ? You are not welcome in my home anymore . Just leave me and my baby alone .
Sami : So , who was on the phone ?
Brandon : It was lexie .
Sami : What , did she want you to come over ? I mean , seen , n , like , two hours since you ve seen her . She probably misses --
Brandon : All right , you know what , samantha ? You should leave .
Sami : What ? What did I say ?
Brandon : Go , all right ?
Sami : Look , all right , I m sorry for kidding you about lexie --
Brandon : You were nt kidding .
Sami : Well , all right . I m sorry for being sarcastic . I genuinely apologize . It s just that that woman calls in the middle of a really important discussion , and -- and I wanted you to be focused on me ... on us ... on how much I love you . Do you know that , um , no one has ever turned me on the way that you do ? Honestly . Its like a whole nother level of , um ... I do nt know , what s the word -- excitement ... fulfillment ? You know , I used to read those novels with , um , sex scenes in them , and the woman would always be , like , that was the best feeling ever , like she d died and gone to heaven . And I was always , like , yeah , right , whatever . Total exaggeration . But ever since you and i have been together , I know what she means . I mean , I could write those scenes . In fact , sometimes I do write those scenes when you are nt with me . It drives me crazy . Look , anandon , I ... I love you so much , enough to erase all the doubts that you have about me . I promise . I ll do it . You ll see .
Mimi : Shawn --
Shawn - d : Just go , mimi , all right ? You ca nt help me . No one can . Just leave before I do something that we both regret . Leave !
Mimi : Okay , well , just call me if you need me , okay ?
Shawn - d : Yeah .

Shawn - d : Fine . Just ... studying .
Bo : Okay . Good . Listen , I wanted you to know your mom , zack , and I -- we re going to head up to green mountain lodge for the night . Now , we just want to get away for a little bit .
Shawn - d : Oh , thatS ... good . That s a great idea .
Bo : Yeah , listen , I do nt want you to worry about anything , but if you do need something , roman will be here for you . And as you already know , we got cops watching the house and the dorm .
Shawn - d : Yeah . Yeah , I know . Um ... dont you worry about me , okay ?
Bo : All right , I wo nt , so long as you keep your cell on you in case I need to get a hold of you .

Victor : Maybe it s a measure of my confidence in our new line .
Nikki : Really ?
Victor : Mm - hmm .

Victoria : You know , there s only one thing missing .
Damon : What s that ?
Victoria : Company . Anyway , um , thanks for joining me last night .
Damon : Shoot , I shod be the one thanking you .
Victoria : So , uh , we ll do it again sometime soon .

Victoria : Yeah , for you , too . Good luck . I mean that .
Damon : Same to you , Victoria .
Victoria : Bye .
Damon : Bye - bye .
Colleen : Hey , daddy .
Brad : Hi , sweetheart . This is a pleasant surprise . I did nt think I d see you before I went to work .
Colleen : The phone woke me .
Brad : Ah , that was Ash .
Colleen : Oh , I have nt talked to her in a couple of days . How s she doing ?
Brad : She is doing well .
Brad : But I m not sure that I can say the same about you .
Colleen : Oh , I just had a bad night . I did nt sleep too well .
Brad : Anything to do with a certain tall , blond guy ?
Colleen : J.T. ?
Brad : Mm - hmm .
Colleen : No . He is the best part of my day . Always is .
Brad : Well , that s very sweet .
Colleen : Uh , dad , I have to tell you something .
Brad : I m listening .
Colleen : Remember when I said J.T. And I were just friends ?
Brad : Uh - huh .
Colleen : Well , it was true . It s just , um , we re back together now .
Brad : I know .
Colleen : You know ?
Brad : You see , um , your old dad is nt quite as dense as you might think . I ve assumed you guys were back together . I appreciate you telling me .
Colleen : And I appreciate you being so understanding , and just so you know , J.T. And I are doing great , better than ever .
Brad : Well , we ll talk about that later . Right now I want to know , if J.T. Is nt bringing you down , then who is ?
Colleen : Lily . Looks like I do nt have a best friend anymore .
Cassie : So , mom , do you need some help ?
Sharon : That s okay , hon , I ll get it . You have to go to tutoring .
Cassie : Okay .
Nick : You , uh , need a lift into town today , squirt ?
Cassie : Actually , Chuck s taking me .
Sharon : Chuck from the stables ?
Cassie : Uh - huh . I m kind of nervous about today .
Nick : How come ?
Cassie : Now that you said I could ask Adam to the gala ...
Nick : You have to do the asking .
Cassie : I hope he says yes .
Sharon : I m sure he will .
Nick : Are you kidding me ? I mean , you re a total knockout . He d be crazy to turn you down .
Sharon : Oh , and before I forget , I want us to make a plan to go shopping so we can get a special dress .
Cassie : Cool . ( Car horn honks )
Cassie : Well , that s Chuck . Got to go . Bye .
Sharon : Bye .
Nick : Bye .
Sharon : Good luck .
Nick : Quite a change , huh ?
Sharon : Cassie and me ? Getting there , thanks to you .
Nick : I did nt do anything except stop being an ogre .
Sharon : Well , you re a concerned father . I mean , no one could fault you for that .
Nick : Well , it s obvious it worked . You know , letting you be the hero , especially since I know everything you ve been going through with my family lately .
Sharon : Oh , let s not talk about Nikki , please .
Victor : How do I look ?
Nikki : Well , very nice . Very Victor Newman-- calm , collected , handsome . Ooh , it s a shame it s all gon na go to waste .
Victor : Well , I m glad the tension has nt ruined your sense of humor .
Nikki : Oh , no . I ve taken a page from your book .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Nikki : We ve all worked too hard and too long to fail now .
Victor : Which is what s gon na happen , you know .
Nikki : Do nt underestimate us . While you were busy redesigning the tack room , we were busy coming up with new products .
Victor : Mm - hmm , but who s gon na buy your new product ?
Nikki : We shall see .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Nikki : So listen , um , what do you know about Damon Porter ?
Victor : Why do you ask ? He s the head of the R & D department for jabot while Ashley s gone .
Nikki : Well , I know you were hot to hire him .
Victor : So ?
Nikki : You did nt succeed .
Victor : And ?
Nikki : Nothing , it s ... does Victoria know him ?
Victor : What are you getting at ?
Nikki : Nothing . Look , just know that we will have no trouble moving our products , and as an R & D chemist , this guy really is a genius .
Victor : Really ? Mm - hmm .
Victor : Where do things stand with the gala ?
Nikki : Everything s right on track .
Victor : We re gon na have it here , or has that been decided ?
Nikki : No , of course it s been decided . Yes , it s here . I m hosting it just as I said I would . Victor : M - m - hmm . And Sharon and Agnes Sorenson agree with that ?
Nikki : Absolutely . For once , Agnes and I are in complete agreement .
Victor : Really ? How about Sharon ?
Nikki : Oh , she s a little put out that she did nt get her way , but the important thing is I think she finally understands who s in charge around here .
Victor : Mm - hmm . And whoever s in charge looks very beautiful .
Nikki : Why , thank you .
Brad : I did nt know you and Lily were having problems , honey .
Colleen : Yeah , ever since she started seeing this Kevin guy .
Brad : You do nt like him ?
Colleen : Ca nt stand him . It looks like the relationship s over , and that s good . The problem is , Lily blames me for the breakup .
Brad : Why ?
Colleen : Mainly because J.T. And I broke up one of their dates . We told him to stay away from her , and we told Lily that she should have nothing to do with him .
Brad : Well , I can understand why she s upset . Why d you do that ?
Colleen : Cause he s a creep . She is so desperate for a boyfriend , dad , and she s just convinced herself that he s this sweet , sensitive guy , but s she had seen the way he treated me last night ...
Brad : What were you doing with him ?
Colleen : I-- I just ran into him . He was acting really weird and angry about me interfering , and then -- especially after I accused him of dating Lily only for sex .
Brad : Whoa , wait a minute , she slept with him ?
Colleen : No , but that s what he s hoping for . I mean , why else would he keep asking her to his apartment ?
Brad : Apartment ? How old is this guy ?
Colleen : Older than J.T.
Brad : Wait , Colleen , I thought we were talking about a high school kid . Do Lily s parents know about this ?
Colleen : Dad , you can not say a word to them .
Brad : Colleen , this is serious .
Colleen : I know , but she will probably never hear from him again , and besides , they probably already know .
Brad : You sure she confided in her parents about this ?
Colleen : Well , maybe not , but her mom s ex-- this guy Wesley-- she s really close to , and they talk all the time , and he s a shrink , and I m sure if he was worried , he would tell them . Please , dad , do nt get involved .
Brad : Okay , I , uh , I wo nt say anything for now , but if this guy comes around again ...
Colleen : I will let you know , I promise .
Brad : All right .
Colleen : Thank you . If you went to the winters , lily would probably hate me even more than she does .
Brad : She does nt hate you .
Colleen : Yeah ? You should ve seen her yesterday . She said that I did nt want her to be happy , that I wanted to be the only one with a boyfriend .
Brad : Honey , she s hurting , all right ? She s just lashing out at you .
Colleen : I was only trying to protect her , dad .
Brad : I know you were . Listen , being a good friend , that means giving people the advice they need , not the advice they want to hear . I m proud of you for speaking up . You should be , too . You kept lily from making a terrible mistake .
Colleen : I wish she d see it that way .
Victor : Well , somehow that does nt seem very reassuring .
Nikki : It s really very simple . Sharon finally understands my position in this family and in Genoa City . I have a reputation .
Victor : Well , in Genoa City , you have the reputation for not liking this event .
Nikki : Well , like so many other things , that is all in the past . I plan to give them a gala they will never forget .
Victor : Uh - huh . What are your plans for Sharon ?
Nikki : She ll function with me , assisting with the hosting .
Victor : Darling , its one thing to outmaneuver her . It s quite another to make peace .
Nikki : It s all settled . You do nt have to worry about it . We re headed toward the denouement .
Victor : Well , I hope that s the case , because there s enough competition going on in our family . We do nt need you and Sharon to go at each other all the time .
Nikki : I know . It makes us lose sight of the people we really care about .
Victor : That s right , and I do nt want that to happen , not even today .
Nikki : No .
Victor : Good luck with the new line .
Nikki : Thanks .
Victor : And may the best line win .
Nikki : Right .
Victor : And do nt forget one thing ... I love you .
Nikki : I love you .
Nikki : Good luck .
Jack : Hey , we re a team , right , you and me ? Nothing that happens today or any other day is gon na change that .
Phyllis : Mmm , that s very sweet of you today .
Jack : Comes right from the heart .
Phyllis : This could be one of those battles where only one company is left standing .
Jack : Yeah , I suppose it could happen that way .
Phyllis : Newman has very deep pockets .
Jack : Ooh , I would nt make any predictions based on that . I could read you a hundred case histories where the little guy with the better product wins the day .
Phyllis : I worry about you .
Jack : Yeah ?
Phyllis : Mm - hmm . Jabot s your life .
Jack : Let s not go there . That road leads to the big question of why you re working against me rather than with me .
Phyllis : That s right . We do nt want to go there , do we ? We ve been getting along so well .
Jack : We have been getting along better .
Phyllis : Okay , I ll go for better . All right , the bell rings in an hour .
Jack : Whoa , whoa , whoa . What , you trying to make me nervous ?
Phyllis : Yeah , I want you to be nervous . I want you to be nervous with me .
Nikki : Well , do nt you seem confident ?
Victoria : I am . You look great .
Nikki : Thanks . It s my lucky suit . Your father gave it to me .
Victoria : Oh , good for you .
Nikki : You want some breakfast ?
Victoria : Oh , no , I m too keyed up to eat . I mean , I m starving , but I ...
Nikki : No , I know . I know the feeling . How was your ride ?
Victoria : It was great .
Nikki : And the one last night , with the very handsome Mr. Porter ?
Victoria : Ah , you know about that , huh ?
Nikki : He s a little hard to miss .
Victoria : You saw us together ?
Nikki : Are you trying to keep it a secret ?
Victoria : What , that I invited him out to the ranch for a ride ?
Nikki : Honey , normally , I would be pleased for you , but these are not normal circumstances . I really think it would be best , at least for the time being , that last night s invitation were nt repeated .
Damon : Hey . You know , this is probably about the best melon on the planet . You should try it .
Brad : Not hungry .
Damon : Things are gon na start happening soon . Stores are about to open back east .
Brad : Yep .
Damon : You re quiet .
Brad : Where do things stand with you and Phyllis Abbott ?
Phyllis : We have been getting along better , right ?
Jack : Well , you had me worried there for awhile .
Phyllis : When did I have you worried ?
Jack : Your first encounter with Damon , when you were feeling him out about coming to work at Newman .
Phyllis : I was nt exactly feeling him out .
Jack : Oh , yes , you were , exactly . We do nt have to argue that right now . My point is , you ve been straight with me since then , and I want you to know I appreciate that .
Jack : Sugar ?
Phyllis : What ?
Jack : I just said something very nice to you .
Phyllis : Yeah ... I know . It was very sweet . I love you .
Phyllis : I have to go to work . Um , Ill-- I ll see you this evening when I get back .
Jack : Hey , okay , I just want you to know , I will be very generous in sharing my champagne with you . See , I ll be celebrating the successful launch of the Tuvia line .
Man : Hey , could you go out to the truck and get the laptops ? Thanks .
Michael : I must be moving up in the world . I just got the official wave- through from your secretary . What s going on ?
Victor : The launching of Safra . This will allow us to monitor the effectiveness of our campaign in real time .
Michael : Technology sure is wonderful .
Man : We ll be back with the rest of the equipment in a little while , Mr. Newman .
Victor : Thank you , Marcus .
Michael : So this is the day . Flags flying , horns tooting . Got something for me to do ?
Victor : Mm - hmm , I m thinking .
Michael : Let s think together .
Victor : Damon Porter .
Michael : Jabot s product design genius . What about him ?
Victor : I want you to find out everything you can about him . I mean , everything .
Damon : What do you mean , where do things stand ?
Brad : Phyllis is a loose cannon . She ca nt be trusted . Now last time I was with you , she called and wanted to see you .
Damon : Yeah , and you pressed me to meet with her .
Brad : What was it about ? What was the urgency ?
Damon : Damage control . Phyllis was concerned Drucilla would tell Jack about our evening together . She hoped I would intercede , get Dru to keep her mouth shut , not that I have that sort of power with our lovely--
Brad : Dru did nt say a word to Jack .
Damon : Well , good . I guess that means she listened to what I told her . You know , that this was just a plan to get information out of Phyllis .
Brad : Yeah , well , we did nt learn a damn thing , did we ?
Damon : And we re not gon na , not from Phyllis . She called it off . It s too risky . Wo nt take a chance with her marriage .
Brad : Ohh , so she felt something , did she ? She was nt the only one .
Damon : Why speculate , Brad ? That s a thing of the past . I have some other news .
Brad : Ca nt wait .
Damon : Someone called just as I was saying good - bye and good luck to the lovely Phyllis Abbott .
Brad : Do I even want to hear this ?
Damon : I think . Victoria Newman .
Victoria : Um , since when do you dictate who I date ?
Nikki : Honey , I m not dictating . It s just that this is not the right time for you to be getting involved with this particular man . I do nt think I need to say any more .
Victoria : Oh , come on . Why should I let you and dad have all the fun ? Jack and Phyllis , Neil and Dru ...
Nikki : Honey , those were existing relationships .
Victoria : Mother , relationships ? Damon and I -- I mean , what ? We have one horseback ride , and you think we re gon na take the Newman jet to Vegas or something ?
Nikki : It s very unhealthy , do nt you see that ? Your father and me and these other couples that you mentioned , the competition has put a terrible strain on all of us . Do nt make the mistake of thinking that you and Damon would be immune to that .
Victoria : Mother , Damon and I have not discussed anything like what you re talking about .
Nikki : Please , I am not naive . This is how it starts .
Victoria : How do you know ?
Nikki : Because I know , all right ? I know . I saw you .
Victoria : You -- you saw what ?
Nikki : Before the two of you said your good nights , I saw you in the stables , okay ? I saw that look in your eye , and I know it , especially from you . I know it very well .
Nick : I think we should talk about my mother . You mentioned the other day that the gala was back at the ranch , then you clammed up about it .
Sharon : Well , I just did nt want to go running to you with all of her ... look , stop it . You re getting me talking about Nikki again .
Nick : She must have coerced you into this .
Sharon : In the interest of keeping the peace , let s just say that it was a learning experience and leave it at that .
Nick : She really put the screws to you , huh ?
Sharon : Mm - hmm .
Nick : Well , she s at least letting you still host the thing , right ?
Sharon : Uh ...
Nick : Are you kidding me ? I mean , what is with mom and this power play she s been on lately ?
Sharon : The gala s up at the main house . Nikki is hosting . I will be her co- host . So be it .
Nick : You do nt sound too upset about it .
Sharon : Well , sweetheart , what good would it do ? Look , we have a really big event to put on , and it ll be here before you know it . In fact , just last night , the invitations were sent out . I had the printer take care of it .
Nick : You re amazing , you know that ?
Sharon : What ?
Nick : My mom is being this total pain , and you re just-- you re just dealing with it .
Sharon : Well , I know I have your support , and that s what counts . Honestly , Nick , I m okay with this . I am just gon na smile and pitch in and make this event as successful as I know it can be . In fact , I ve already started doing exactly that .
Nick : By sending out the invitations ?
Sharon : Mm - hmm . They will be blanketing the whole town in no time .
Nick : Well , hopefully , appreciative , at least .
Sharon : I have no doubt that Nikki will have something to say about my taking the initiative .
Nick : Well , my money s on you , because she does nt know who she s dealing with .
Sharon : ( Chuckles ) you re sweet .
Sharon : No , she does nt , but she s about to find out .
Michael : Why is it so important to get a background check on Damon Porter ?
Victor : Because I think Damon Porter may be in play .
Michael : You mean ready to quit Jabot ?
Victor : Possible .
Michael : Then what s so complicated ? Make him an offer .
Victor : Not that simple .
Victor : I do nt think he s ready to move yet .
Michael : And you want me to find out when he is .
Victor : Mm - hmm . Right . Seems that Phyllis Abbott has taken it upon herself to keep an eye on Damon Porter for us .
Michael : Really ?
Victor : You re friends with her . Tell her to back off .
Michael : I ll try . Phyllis can be a handful .
Victor : Mm - hmm . That s why I need you . There s another thing . I m sort of concerned that my daughter may have more than a passing interest in Damon Porter .
Michael : I see . And you think this interest is of a business nature ?
Victor : Hmm , could be . She s certainly aware of what benefit Damon Porter s expertise would be to Safra . However , I also know that my daughter has been without a man in her life for some time now .
Michael : I think you re right to be concerned .
Victor : There s something you know that I do nt ?
Michael : No , just what you said . Victoria s very important to you . A lot of things going on , corporate intrigue . Not the best time to be forming relationships . Not a time when everyone will be honest with everyone else .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Michael : Do you want Victoria caught up in the middle of that ?
Victor : Of course not .
Michael : Well , then neither do I.
Victor : Now you know that she s furious with me for hiring you ?
Michael : Yeah , I know , I m not one of her favorite people , but really , I admire Victoria from a safe distance .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Victoria : We need to get you some glasses , mother .
Nikki : Are you actually going to deny that you re interested in Damon ? Do nt forget who you re talking to .
Victoria : Oh , right , right , right . She knows all . She sees all .
Nikki : And do nt be so smart with me .
Victoria : You re making it very difficult to take you seriously .
Nikki : Victoria , I am telling you , you better take this seriously .
Victoria : And I am telling you to back off . Let me live my own life . My god , how many times do i have to say this to you and dad before you get it through your heads ?
Nikki : Okay , okay , okay , I have said my piece . I m not gon na hammer at you . I ca nt really afford to lose my one and only ally in this family .
Victoria : You mean against Sharon ?
Nikki : Bingo .
Victoria : So how are things going with the gala ?
Nikki : I finally put that girl in her place .
Victoria : So the gala is here at the ranch , and you re in charge .
Nikki : I played my trump with that little snit right in front of Agnes Sorenson . It was a distinct pleasure .
Victoria : ( Chuckles ) well , knowing my sister - in - law , she s probably fit to be tied .
Nikki : Oh , well . Could nt happen to a more deserving little wretch , could it ?
Brad : Victoria called you ? Why ?
Damon : She wanted to go horseback riding . It had been awhile for me .
Brad : You did nt ...
Brad : At the Newman ranch ?
Damon : Yeah .
Brad : Yeah . ( Chuckles ) you know , you do like living dangerously , do nt you ?
Damon : She s a charming woman .
Brad : I m gon na paint a little picture for you , Damon , all right ? These kinds of things get very complicated ; and we have lots of beautiful women right here at Jabot . I d be happy to introduce you .
Damon : Oh , I ll find my own . Thank you .
Brad : You try to remember one thing .
Damon : Mm - hmm .
Brad : No matter what the tensions , Victoria is , above all else , a Newman . She s very much Victor Newman s daughter .
Nikki : Who was at the door ?
Miguel : A messenger . This just arrived for you .
Nikki : Genoa City printing and mailing ? What is that about ?
Miguel : The man did nt say .
Nikki : Okay , thanks .
Nikki : Hmm . Gala invitations out in the mail , right on schedule . Call with any questions . Very fast . Good girl , Agnes . Now let s see what they look like .
Nikki : Hmm . Very nice . Tasteful . Wonders never cease . What ? ! Sharon Newman is pleased to invite you ... Genoa City Arts Council Annual Gala . The event to be held at her family estate . Her family estate ? ! Ohh !
Victor : In other words , find out anything you can that s going on between my daughter and Damon Porter on any level . I do nt want her emotions to get caught up ... at the cross fire between Safra and jabot .
Michael : Understood . And Phyllis ?
Victor : She s a very good I.T. Person , but I do nt want her schmoozing and recruiting and otherwise get involved with Damon Porter , is that clear ? ( Knock on door )
Man : Oh , excuse me , Mr. Newman .
Victor : All right , we re finished .
Michael : All right , Victor . Next time I hope you find something really interesting for me to do .
Victor : Please understand the importance . If we manage to lure Damon Porter over to our company , Jabot will be on the ropes , perhaps for good .
Jack : Hello .
Ashley : Hi , Jack , it s me .
Jack : Sis . Hey , great to hear your voice . How you doing ?
Ashley : I m good . I m good .
Jack : Good , good , that s it ?
Ashley : Uh , I m still a beached whale .
Jack : Oh , give me a break . Pregnancy looks better on you than any woman I ever met .
Ashley : Thank you very much .
Jack : So everything on schedule ?
Ashley : Well , it s not an exact science-- anywhere from one to two weeks . If we go into the third week , I m gon na start doing jumping jacks .
Jack : You do whatever they tell you , you hear me ?
Ashley : Aye , aye , sir . So the launch ?
Jack : The launch . Yeah , going off without a hitch .
Ashley : You re sure ?
Jack : There s nothing we can do now-- products are in the stores . The ads are in print , our sponsor on the air as we speak . We just wait for the restocking orders to come flooding in .
Ashley : Jack .
Jack : Hey , look , I know you want to be with us right now . Hell , I d love to have you with me , but the timing is nt right .
Ashley : Victor-- Victor paid me a visit .
Jack : What ? Why ?
Ashley : I do nt know . I was hoping you had some idea .
Jack : What did he say ?
Ashley : Well , he was very solicitous . He wanted me to stay calm , not get distressed over business things , focus on having a healthy baby and try not to get , uh , caught up in this war between our two companies . So what s going on that you re not telling me ?
Jack : You know , there are hundreds of details , none of them dire .
Ashley : Jack , I know he hired Baldwin .
Jack : What did he say to you about that ?
Ashley : Well , he would nt talk about it , actually , but I have a really bad feeling . It s almost as if Victor was trying to warn me in a very subtle way . And now that I know Baldwin s involved ...
Jack : We do nt know how much Baldwin s involved , whether he s involved at all . Hell , he could be working on a will for the guy .
Ashley : Do nt be an idiot . Come on , Jack . Do nt stonewall me . Brad just did that . Stop soft - pedaling . Victor s up to something , you know it .
Jack : Of course he is . So are we . You know what ? You re up to something even more important-- delivering a healthy baby .
Ashley : All right . Will you please just contact me today ; let me know how the launch is going ?
Jack : Yeah . I ll give you a call . Listen , I ve got to get to the office now .
Ashley : Jack--
Jack : I promise I will call you , all right ? I love you , sis .
Jack : You had to get Ashley involved , did nt you , Victor ? There s nothing you wo nt do to try to win this .
Nikki : Sharon ! Where are you ? ! Get out here now !
Sharon : Oh , back to the barging in again , are we ?
Nikki : What the hell is this ?
Sharon : What s it look like ?
Nikki : This is an invitation to your funeral !
Damon : That sign on the door says , authorized personnel only .
Michael : I am so sorry . I did nt even see that .
Damon : Lab s off - limits .
Phyllis : You re defying your father s instructions to keep away from Damon Porter .

Mimi : I have an appointment , Rex .
Rex : You can change the appointment . Look , you and I are going to spend the day together , and I wo nt take no for an answer .
Rex : Anniversary of our first kiss ? I could have sworn that happened on Christmas . What s Mimi thinking ?
Mimi : I wish I could cancel my appointment , Rex , but I know if I did that , I d end up losing you forever .
Brady : Lexie ! Lexie . Hi . Um , hi . Do you -- do you have a minute ? I need to talk to you .
Lexie : Yeah , yeah , of course . Uh , sorry I had to cut our call short earlier .
Brady : Uh , no , no , no . That s fine . I understand . Um , I just -- I need to know what s going on with my Dad , okay ? With everything that I ve -- that I ve heard -- what are the details on this -- on this plane crash ?
Lexie : Brady , I wish I could give you some , um ... Tek s been working with the Coast Guard , but so far , they have nt had much luck .

Brady : Yeah , I - I think that s a good idea . What -- what is this all about ?
Lexie : Bo and your father had a theory .
Brady : What theory ?
Lexie : That ... some , if not all , of the Salem Stalker s victims might still be alive and are being held captive somewhere .
Belle : Mimi was right , Philip . I need to talk to Shawn one more time before I can accept this -- accept the fact that he s left me for Jan Spears , of all people .
Philip : All right , Belle , hold on . Just listen . I understand why this is hard for you to believe . It s hard for me to believe . But Shawn made it pretty damn clear where things stand , did nt he ? I do not want to see you hurting , and do you really want to put yourself through hearing that again ?
Belle : I just need to know that it s not more of Jan s lies and that it s not his head injury that s making him act this way . He does nt even know what happened to his mother yet , Philip . And I do nt want him hearing it from Jan. I m sorry .
Philip : Hey , do nt apologize .
Belle : I just -- I know how you feel about me .
Philip : No , Belle , it has nothing to do with that . I just do nt want see you hurt again .
Belle : And I appreciate your concern , and I know this is really hard for you . But I just ca nt believe that Shawn and I are through until I talk to him alone , one on one .
Kate : If I were you , I d stop her ... before she makes a big mistake .
Shawn - D : What are nt you telling me ? Why do nt you want me calling my parents ?
Jan : I do nt know how to tell you this , Shawn . We were gon na wait , um , until you were stronger --
Shawn - D : Tell me -- tell me what ?
Jan : I have quite a bit of bad news , starting with your mother .
Shawn - D : What about her ?
Jan : I m so sorry , honey , but she s dead .
Shawn - D : No .
Jan : I m so sorry .
Shawn - D : No . No .
Hope : Why d you do it , Bo ? Do nt you wanna get back and see Shawn and Zack ?
Bo : More than anything . And do nt you understand ? We might not be able to do that without Billie .
Hope : Bo , please ! Bo , I m begging you , please .
Bo : When you get back to New Salem , tell John and the others that my wife is to stay put .
Hope : Damn it . Damn you , Billie Reed .
Patrick : Hey . I found a hot spring near the cave . I , uh , I almost got my shoulder worked back into place .
Hope : That s good . That s great .
Patrick : Well , it looks like you re all packed up and ready to head back to New Salem .
Hope : Surely you know me better than that , Patrick .
Patrick : So , what s up with the bag ?
Hope : I m going after Bo and Billie . And there s not a damn thing you or he can do to stop me .
John : I d still like to know how the hell Hope got out here to look for Bo . You and I about got electrocuted trying to make it over that fence .
Roman : Yeah , well , I m just damn glad we made it .
John : Yeah , no thanks to my lying half - brother .
Roman : I m with you on that . Tony s excuse , all that -- that crap about losing his Zen touch , that s a lot of bull .
John : Yeah . He lowered that barrier before , he could have done it again .
Roman : And not just with chants and amulets , I guarantee you that .
John : You know what I m thinking , Roman ? There s got to be a master switch around here somewhere . More than likely it s controlled from his father s lair , wherever the hell that could be .
Roman : Not a doubt in my mind Stefano s behind all this .
John : I got a feeling the old man s just getting warmed up .
Roman : Damn it . Why in the hell did Bo have to go running after Billie Reed ? We got better things to do than chase after him and now Hope .
John : That s a fact . I ll tell you something , Roman -- if we do nt track him down in a hurry , we re not going to have any choice but to go back to our original plan .
Roman : Are you talking about , uh , leaving them behind ? Is that what you re saying ?
John : I do nt like it any more than you do , but we got some fragile women back at the ranch whose lives are at stake . We got Alice , Jen , her baby .
Roman : Yeah , I know , I know . Ma , Maggie , Doc ...
John : Yeah . Well , let s just hope we round up Bo and Hope before it comes to that , huh ? Let s go .
Roman : Yeah , let s go .
Philip : Mom , please do nt start . Now s not the time .
Kate : If you love Belle , you have to fight for her now .
Philip : Yeah . I can fight all I want , Mom , but I know that until she gives up on Shawn , it wo nt do any good .
Shawn - D : It just -- it just does nt make any sense .
Jan : I know . It s so horrible . I mean , that s why we did nt want to tell you .
Shawn - D : Tell me -- I did nt want you to have to tell me . I should have been there so I knew what the hell was going on so maybe I could have done something about it .
Jan : It s not your fault . I mean , you would have been here . If it had not been for Belle s lies , then you never would have left Salem in the first place . Honey , I m going to go see a nurse , see about getting you a sedative .
Shawn - D : I do nt want a sedative , okay ? I just want answers .
Jan : Excuse me , I would really appreciate it if you did not eavesdrop on me and my fiancé .
Belle : I need to talk to Shawn about what happened to his mom .
Jan : I am sorry , but Dr. Carver told me that I ll be the one to do that .
Belle : But --
Jan : No . No , Belle . You would only upset him . And have nt you caused Shawn and his family enough damage ?
Philip : Belle .
Jan : My heart goes out to you , Shawn . I know that this has to be a huge shock . I am so , so sorry .
Shawn - D : Are you , Jan ? Or did you get exactly what you wanted ?
Brady : Lexie , how can this be ? I - I do nt understand how Marlena s victims can still be alive .
Lexie : I do nt know , Brady . I examined each one of them . I - I signed the death certificates myself . I ca nt explain it .
Brady : All right , well , obviously , my Father and Bo thought somehow it could be possible .
Lexie : Yeah , well , let s put it this way -- they felt they had sufficient cause to investigate . That s when they took off in John s plane .
Brady : Okay , the plane -- where is the plane wreckage ?
Lexie : The wreckage has nt been located .
Brady : Okay , so they can -- they can still be alive , then .
Lexie : No , I - I would nt get my hopes up , Brady .
Brady : Lexie , you just said that --
Lexie : I know , I know , I know . But according to Tek -- look at me , please -- Bo and your father have officially been declared dead by the government .
Brady : How the hell am I supposed to break this to my sister ?
Belle : Break what to me ?
Roman : Aah . Well , somebody s been here . This brush has clearly been trampled . Whoever it was made a rope out of these vines .
John : Yeah , looks like they used it to get down to the river .
Roman : Wait a minute . Wait a minute . What the hell is this ?
John : Ha ha . Yeah while Bo and Hope have been out looking for Billie , looks like someone s been hunting for them .
Roman : Yeah . Well , I think we better get going . What do you think ?
John : Yeah , I think so . Get down .
Mimi : Oh , come on , Rex . Where are you ? I have to go .
Mimi : Hello ? Speaking . Oh , that s -- that s fine . I can come in early to fill out paperwork . Oh , uh ... no . No problem . I ll be there as soon as I can . Thanks .
Mimi : Sorry , Rex . I have to get out of here , and before you get back . You re back . Ha ha .
Rex : Where are you going ? I thought you were going to wait for me .
Mimi : I was . I just , um ... I - I just have to step out for a while , that s all .
Rex : You ve been crying .
Mimi : No .
Rex : Mimi , I can see it . I can see in your eyes that something is wrong . Now , for the last time , are you going to tell me what it is ?
Patrick : Hope , wait . You ca nt just go running off after Bo . He told you to stay .
Hope : I know , to be a good little girl and go back to New Salem with you . The only problem is I m not going to be a good little girl and do as I m told .
Patrick : Okay , then , he told me to take you back and make sure you re safe .
Hope : I m not going back without him .
Patrick : Well , unless I heard him incorrectly , which I do nt think I did , because he repeated it several times , he s not going back until he finds Billie Reed .
Hope : Okay , fine . Then we ll find them both , and we ll all go back together .
Patrick : What exactly are you so afraid of ?
Hope : You know what , Patrick ? I got to get going .
Patrick : Yeah , I just -- I do nt believe it . Are you seriously threatened by this woman ?
Hope : Excuse me ?
Patrick : Honestly , Hope , do you really think your husband would leave you for her ?
Jan : How could you say that ? How could I ever want this for you ? I love you . It kills me to see you in pain . I mean , I would sooner cut off my arm than do anything to --
Shawn - D : All right , look ... I did nt mean to attack you . It s just that I know in high school how much you hated Belle , and just now when you were blaming her for what happened --
Jan : But you were blaming yourself , and this is not your fault , and I just wanted you to see that . I mean , you have told me so many times that you only left Salem because of her . I mean , she is the reason why your great- grandmother was killed , and now , to think that your mom might still be alive if she had nt pushed you away from your family ... but I guess we ll never know now , will we ? Selfishly ... I should be grateful to Belle . I mean , the one good thing to come from your leaving was you and I reconnecting , falling in love , getting engaged . But as wonderful as all that is , if it turns out that had you been here , you somehow could have prevented your mother and father s deaths , then --
Shawn - D : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . Whoa . Wait a minute . What happened to my Dad ?
Jan : Shawn , I -- I did nt -- I did nt mean for it to come out .
Shawn - D : Damn it , Jan , what happened to my Dad ?
Belle : Brady , what s going on ? What bad news do nt you want me to hear ?
Brady : Ahem . Uh , can I -- can I have a moment alone with my sister , please ?
Lexie : Yeah , of course .
Philip : Okay , um , Belle , I ll be in the waiting room if you need me , okay ?
Brady : Come on .
Belle : Okay , Brady , you re scaring me . What is it ?
Brady : Uh , Belle , there-- there s been an accident .
Philip : I wonder what that was about .
Kate : I think Brady is probably going to tell Belle about her father .
Philip : John ? What about him ? Did something happen ?
Kate : John and Bo were on a mission , and it was classified , and that s why it has nt been in the news , but their plane went down , and they re both presumed dead .
Philip : [ Gasps ] Oh , my -- Belle -- I got --
Kate : Sweetie , there s more . Your sister .
Philip : What happened ?
Kate : Billie s dead .
Belle : An accident ? Did something happen to Sami ?
Brady : No .
Belle : Eric ? Carrie ? Who ? Tell me .
Brady : Belle , uh ...
Belle : No . Not Dad . Please tell me nothing happened to Dad .
Brady : I m sorry , Belle . He s gone .
John : Are you all right ? You did nt get hit , did you ?
Roman : No , no . It was close , though . Somebody s awful damn trigger - happy with that dart gun .
John : Yeah , it had to be one of DiMera s henchmen . I m sure tony put the word out that we escaped .
Roman : You know what , John , I do nt understand is I was out in this jungle before . Instead of trying to kill me , they saved my life .
John : Yeah , Doc told me some mystery person left a syringe laying around .
Roman : Yeah , it was full of a medicine that cured me . Clearly , they did nt want me to die .
John : Well , maybe they wanted you to stay alive for a while .
Roman : What the hell are you talking about ?
John : I ve be t thinking , Roman -- everybody who s been brought to this island , very carefully chosen . You re all part of a plan , some -- some sick , twisted plot just to screw with our lives . I m convinced of that . And for a while there , it was working . That is , until Bo and I showed up and kind of threw a wrench into their plans .
Roman : Maybe that s now why they want us dead , huh ?
John : I think our friend s back .
John : In fact , we re surrounded .
Roman : I do nt see anything .
John : There s three . [ Sniffs ] Make that four .
Roman : Well ... how in the hell are we going to get out of this one ?
John : As far as I can see , there s only one way out .
Roman : Are you crazy ?
John : Just enough . You want to get home to see your daughter get married ?
Roman : Count to three .
John : Do I say 1 , 2 , 3 , jump or --
Both : Aah !
Rex : Mimi , it s okay . Whatever it is , you can talk to me . Just tell me what s going on .
Mimi : I m getting an abortion .
Rex : Mimi , come on . Why were you crying ? Just tell me .
Mimi : You ll think it was so silly .
Rex : No , I wo nt . Come here .
Mimi : Uh , after you left , I was thinking about our anniversary , and ... how lucky I am that we re still together and that I have nt lost you like so many people we know have lost people they love , like I ve lost Patrick and you ve lost Cassie . I just got all emotional . I told you it was dumb .
Rex : That s it ? That s the truth ?
Mimi : The truth is , um ... I love you , and I want to spend the rest of my life with you , and , um ... I would do anything ... absolutely anything to hang on to what we have .
Rex : Mimi ... I feel the exact same way . I love you so much . It s just -- I ca nt believe how lucky I am .
Mimi : Oh , Rex .
Rex : Come on , no more tears , okay ? This is a day for celebrating . In fact ... I have a proposal , one I think you re going to like .
Mimi : You have a ... proposal ? [ Gasping ]
Rex : Miriam Lockhart ... will you marry me ?
Mimi : Yes . Yes , yes , of course I will . You re not going to believe this , but your timing could nt have been better .
Rex : Why s that ?
Mimi : Because , Rex ... you and I are about to be parents .
Rex : You mean ...
Mimi : Yes . We re going to have a baby .
Rex : A baby ?
Mimi : Yeah .
Rex : I m going to be a father ? Mimi . Oh , you have made me the happiest man alive . Oh . Mimi . Hello . Where d you go ?
Mimi : Sorry . I was , um , just daydreaming .
Rex : In the middle of my big surprise ?
Mimi : I do nt suppose this proposal has anything to do with the church , lifetime commitment , stuff like that .
Rex : Oh , Mimi , come on . We ve already talked about all that . Look , you know we re not ready , at least not yet .
Mimi : I know . I was just ... kidding . Um , so , what are you proposing , exactly ?
Rex : A picnic . Just you and me , someplace very romantic and secluded where we can relive our first kiss over and over and --
Rex : Just let the machine get it .
Mimi : No , no , no . It -- it might be important . I better answer . Hello ? Yes , I ve already -- I ve already spoke to someone about the paperwork .
Mimi : Okay . Yeah . All right . I got the new information , and I ll be on my way . Thanks . I m sorry , Rex . I could nt cancel my appointment .
Rex : What about the picnic ? I mean , I got all the food .
Mimi : Um , just put it in the fridge , and we ll have the picnic tonight .
Rex : Tonight ?
Mimi : I love you , Rex Brady .
Rex : Okay --
Mimi : I m so sorry , but I m doing this for you ... for us .
Hope : [ Sighs ] Maybe you re right . Maybe I - I do still feel threatened by Billie Reed , but , I mean , how insane is that ? How crazy is that ?
Patrick : Look , I know it s hard not to think about what happened before , but things are completely different now .
Hope : I lost so much , Patrick -- all those years at Maison Blanche -- I lost my memory , my entire family . You ca nt even imagine what that was like .
Patrick : Well , I ve lost a few things in my time -- things that meant everything to me . But luckily , I managed to get them all back in the end .
Hope : Well , it was nt that simple for me . Even after I recovered my memory , I still had to start all over in Salem . My husband was with another woman , a woman who tried to replace me .
Patrick : Yeah , but no one could do that , Hope . No , once you got your memory back , once Bo knew you were his wife , the woman he loved , he chose you .
Hope : Yeah , he did ... in the end . Look , I know that Bo loves me . That s not the issue . I trust that man with my whole heart and soul , but ... Stefano s the reason that Billie came between us in the first place . He s probably the reason we re all here now . What if he wants the same thing to happen ? However , I did call a few
Brady : Dad and -- and Bo were looking for Hope s plane when -- when their plane went down .
Belle : So Shawn s dad is dead , too ? Oh , my God . Brady , when is the suffering going to end ?
Shawn - D : Tell me , Jan. Tell me . Tell me , what hap-- what happened to my Dad ? Look at me . What happened to my Dad ? Will you just tell me ?
Lexie : What in the world is going on here ?
Shawn - D : Lexie , what happened to my Dad ? ! Why wo nt anyone tell me about my parents ? !
Jan : I was just telling him about his mom and dad .
Lexie : Shawn , I am so , so sorry . Listen , I m -- I m going to call your Uncle Mickey and Julie and have them come be with you , okay ? I would like a word with you outside .
Lexie : How could you do that ? I specifically asked you not to say anything to Shawn about his parents until he was stronger .
Jan : I m sorry . I just thought that --
Lexie : No , no . You did nt think . That s your problem . Get back in there and stay with him until I can contact his family .
Jan : I am his family , you witch . All he needs is me . Shawn , Shawn , what do you think you re doing ?
Shawn - D : What does it look like I m doing ? I m getting the hell out of here .
Roman : Ahh . Oh . John ... John , are you okay ?
John : [ Groans ] Yeah , so far , so good .
Roman : Yeah .
John : You ?
Roman : Yeah . That was kind of fun , actually , but I m not sure I want to do it again , huh ?
John : You did nt find that dip in the river a little refreshing ?
Roman : Yeah . Well , who s ever after us , I do nt think s going to quit trying .
John : That s a fact . I m sure they re after Bo and Hope , too , so let s get moving .
Roman : Yeah , you got it . Wait a minute . What the hell -- what the hell is this ?
John : What do you got ?
Roman : It s a woman s pendant .
John : By the way you said that , I m guessing you know who it belongs to .
Roman : You re damn right I do . It s Billie Reed s .
Hope : Damn zipper s stuck . I ca nt get it loose .
Patrick : Ahem . May I ?
Hope : Be my guest . Thanks .
Patrick : There you go .
Hope : Bo was coming to meet us the other day .
Patrick : That s right . And if I could just throw my two cents in on this situation --
Hope : You know what ? Let s just forget it , okay ? Billie Reed is nt worth discussing . Forget it .
Patrick : Hey , all I was going to say ... is that I think your husband s a damn fool to leave you behind .
Rex : Something is definitely wrong with Mimi . She would nt blow off our anniversary for some appointment . Speaking of that anniversary ... I knew it . I marked this down a long time ago . There s no anniversary today . We kissed on Halloween , but , I mean , our first real kiss was at the Hartley house Christmas party . What the hell is going on ? Mimi , it s Rex . Look , I checked , and there is no anniversary today . Call me , okay ? We need to talk . I ve got to find out what you re hiding . This is crazy . I think I might know how .
Mimi : Imagine your perfect family . [ Sobs ]
Hope : Look , I appreciate your support , but fool or not , Bo is the man I love , and I m going after him . If you want to go back to New Salem , I completely --
Patrick : Forget it . I m coming with you .
Hope : Patrick , this --
Patrick : We ve come this far together . You do nt think I m going to quit , do you ?
Hope : I know better than to argue with you . Let s go .
Patrick : Right behind you .
Patrick : Whew . I want to meet this Billie Reed , see what kind of woman could take any man from Hope Brady .
Belle : How are you coping with all of this , Brady ? You just lost Chloe .
Brady : Belle , I m going to be okay . I m worried about you . Why do nt you let me take you home ?
Belle : No , I ca nt . I have to be here for Shawn .
Brady : For Shawn ? After the way he treated you ?
Belle : He s just lost both of his parents .
Brady : You have , too , Belle .
Belle : But I still have you . We have each other to help us get through this . Except for his little brother , who is too young to understand , Shawn has no one -- no one really close , anyway .
Brady : What about his fiancé Jan Spears ?
Belle : I just ca nt believe he loves her . I have to go to him .
Brady : Whoa , whoa , hang -- hang on a second .
Belle : Brady , just try and understand , he s lying in a hospital bed , and he s only just found out . He s going to need me , and I need him more than ever .
Brady : If he does or says anything to hurt you again , I swear --
Belle : He wo nt . He wo nt . I love you .
Brady : Oh , it s going to be okay , Belle . I love you , too . We re going to find a way to get through this , all right ?
Jan : Shawn , you need to get out of those clothes and get back in bed . Dr. Carver says that you re not well enough to go home .
Shawn - D : I do nt care what the hell Dr. Carver said . I m out of here .
Jan : I ve upset you . This is all my fault .
Shawn - D : No , no , Jan. You were just trying to protect me . What you said before , you were right . This whole nightmare -- if it s anyone s fault , it s Belle s . I mean , both my parents ... are gone , and I was nt here because of her .
Lexie : Shawn ! What are you doing ? Where do you think you re going ?
Shawn - D : I m leaving . I m checking out .
Lexie : No , you re not .
Shawn - D : Oh , are you going to stop me ?
Jan : Shawn -- Shawn , wait .
Lexie : I m calling security !
Belle : Shawn ... I m so sorry about your mom and dad .
Shawn - D : Sorry ? I ll bet you are . Because of you ... my family is dead .
John : How do you know that s Billie s ?
Roman : Well ... I was with Kate when she bought it last fall right before she left for London for a visit .
John : Yeah ?
Roman : Besides that ... she had Billie s initials engraved on the back .
John : Wow , so Bo did nt imagine any of this . Billie s here . She s somewhere on this island .
Roman : Yeah . What the hell is that all about ?
John : Well , Roman , that s just another piece of evidence that confirms my theory .
Roman : What do you mean ? What , you re talking about Stefano ?
John : He s going to use her to try to destroy Bo and Hope .
Rex : It s not that I do nt trust you , Mimi ... it s just that I want to know what you re hiding , why you re not telling me the truth . My God . That s it . I know what she s doing . I - I know where she went .
Mimi : Where are you , Belle ? Why am I even calling you ? Do I want you to talk me out of this ? [ Cellular phone rings ]
Mimi : Belle ? Oh , h - hi . No , I promise I m on my way . I m -- I m sorry I m late . Yeah , I m okay , really . I was just kind of having ... second thoughts , actually . To tell you the truth , um ... I do nt know if I can go through with ... not going through with this pregnancy . What ? Do I want to cancel my appointment ?
Lucas : I got some bad news for you .
Sami : Oh , God . What is it ?
Lucas : This is nt going to work .
Rex : If you were to tell me that we were going to have a baby now ... Mimi , I love you so much , we d make it work .
Philip : Shut your mouth right now or I m going to shut it for you .
Shawn - D : You go ahead and try , Philip , and I will kill you .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Bianca : Are you still there ?
Erica : They did nt tell me that it was my daughter . They did nt say that it was you .
Bianca : Well , I did nt think that you would take my call .
Erica : You ve been on my mind . How are you ?
Bianca : Ok . Better a little bit each day .
Erica : How did you know where to find me ?
Bianca : Desiree has gotten some very good reviews .
Erica : Well , if you found me , then --
Bianca : Yeah , we all know .
Erica : Then the cavalry must be ready to ride to my rescue , no matter how I feel .
Bianca : Do nt worry . No one s coming to rescue you . We ve all decided to leave you exactly where you are , just the way you want it .
Isabella : Forgive me , Edmund . That sounded so cruel . I m -- I m sorry .
Maria : Mama is really upset , honey , and -- and she really was nt thinking .
Edmund : You know , I m with Isabella on this one . Really , I mean , there s no doubt about it -- this bad boy puts the worse in for better or worse .
Maria : Honey , it does not .
Edmund : Hey , listen , I -- I do nt have time , really . I got to go do a recon of the grounds and find a place for Sam to build his castle . As you were .
Maria : General . Mama , how dare you come into my house and talk about my marriage like that ! Edmund and I are fine !
Isabella : Maria , how can a marriage be fine without the love of a marriage bed ?
Kendall : Well , lucky for you guys , I m here . I know as much about this married couple as the bride and groom themselves .
Ryan : Kendall , this is a private meeting , so if you ll excuse us --
Kendall : This might be about your private affairs , but it s also about Fusion and Enchantment . And I have to protect my interest in both companies , so the only way to do that is to tell you guys what I know .
George : Ms. Hart is a key player in this . You have our attention .
Kendall : Very good . That s true , I am a key player . And who else overheard a very private conversation that the newlyweds had about this very hearing just this morning ? Ladies and gentlemen , it does appear as if the happy couple has committed a serious crime . They just might honeymoon in cellblock eight .
Man : If the Laverys married for the purpose of funneling moneys out of Cambias Industries , we want to know about it .
Kendall : Well , then I guess I m the lady you want to speak to . Happy to be of service to you . Oh -- excuse me one second .
Ryan : This is ridiculous ! I am the best shot this company has right now . Do you really want to mess with me ? She s got no evidence .
Greenlee : My husband is a gentleman so he wo nt say it , but Ms. Hart is the ultimate woman scorned .
Man : Time for you to substantiate your claims that the Laverys have committed a crime .
Kendall : What claims ?
George : We want the proof .
Kendall : Oh , well , I do nt have any proof .
Man : What about the honeymoon in cellblock eight ?
Kendall : No , I just said it appeared as if they had committed a crime . That was an observation , not an accusation . Ryan waited until after he married Greenlee to file the Cambias transfer papers . Now , to your sharp eye , that might look like some white - collar shell game . That s all I meant . Sorry -- I did nt get your hopes up , did I ?
Man : You re saying that no crime was committed here ?
Kendall : Well , aside from those shoes with that dress , no . As much as I hate to admit it , Ryan and Greenlee s marriage is entirely real .
Bianca : You re so quiet . You still want to be left alone , do nt you ? That s why you went to Las Vegas in the first place . That s why you ve been ignoring all the calls to your cell . You changed your hair and your name all so that you could be alone .
Erica : I intend to stay here . I m grateful that everyone respects my decision .
Bianca : That s it ? That s all you have to say ?
Erica : Bianca , I m confused . You say that you are not trying to get me to come home . Then why did you call ?
Bianca : Is it really so hard for you to understand why ?
Erica : Well , the last time that we saw each other , you said to me that you did nt want me in your life anymore . You said that I was no longer your mother . Those were your words . And now here we are . I mean , we re on the phone . All I ask is why . I read about Ryan marrying Greenlee . If you ve called me for Kendall s sake , I have to tell you I do nt think that Kendall wants my support , either .
Bianca : No , this is not about Kendall !
Erica : Well , then why ? I mean , Bianca , you picked up the phone and you dialed . I believe there has to be a reason why you reached out to me like that . Would you like things to be right between us again ?
Maria : Mama , first you insult my marriage , and now you re insulting my sex life ? You know what ? Really , we re -- we re seriously done here .
Isabella : I did nt mean to hurt you , Maria . I say these things with pride . You and Edmund are proof that love and faith and hard work can preserve any marriage . There s always hope .
Anita : Yeah , Mama , I got it the first time . Can I talk to Maria alone , please ?
Isabella : Just do nt talk to your sister . Listen to her . Tonight , my rosary will be for your happiness .
Maria : Thanks .
Anita : Well , if Mama has me this wound up , you must be a wreck .
Maria : I m used to it . But you know what ? Edmund -- I ve got to go find him .
Anita : What ?
Maria : When I get there , what the hell am I going to say ?
Anita : You know what ? Nothing . Let me do this for you -- for both of you .
Bianca : Wow , Desiree . You sound just like Erica Kane .
Erica : I m not sure I understand your tone .
Bianca : Well , your tone is coming through perfectly clear . Betrayed again . Yeah , it s true . I did say some very horrible things to you the last time I saw you , and you left me during the worst moment of my life .
Erica : So this -- this is about recriminations ?
Bianca : I saw your picture as Desiree , the Toast of Las Vegas . You re there and we re here , and I just had to know why . Why would you turn your back on us like that ? I just do nt understand why you would hurt us like that .
Erica : Oh , I did nt mean to hurt you . I did nt mean to hurt any of you .
Bianca : But you did .
Erica : I do nt know what you want me to say .
Bianca : Well , I guess that makes two of us .
Jack : Let me talk to her .
Kendall : Well , this love fest is on the up - and - up . Trust me .
Ryan : Well , I d say Kendall here served her purpose , so , time for you to go .
George : How do we know this is nt something you and the Laverys cooked up together ?
Greenlee : Fat chance .
Kendall : Yeah , listen to Mrs. Lavery here . As the ultimate woman scorned -- that is what you said , right , Greenlee ? -- I would rather pin this marriage on greed , fraud , or bad voodoo if I could . Being here gives me heartburn . And as much as I hate to admit this , I know these two much better than I really would like to tell people , so I do have to say the one reason that they did marry is love .
Greenlee : What we ve been telling you . Ryan and I are the real deal .
George : As is the signed affidavit we have from the minister .
Man : He claims Ms. Hart was in a wedding gown beside Mr. Lavery prepared to take wedding vows shortly before you and he married . Now , how do you explain that ?
Kendall : Could you guys be any slower ? I mean , do I really have to lay this out for you ? I m one desperate woman .
Jack : Bianca ?
Erica : Is -- is Jack there with you ?
Jack : Yeah , Jack � s right here .
Erica : Jack . How are you ?
Jack : Well , I d certainly be much better if you were here with me .
Zach : Patch me into sector seven , number 28 .
Jack : I love you , Erica . And I miss you so much -- we all do . We want you home .
Edmund : I come here to -- to remember , you know ? Like birthdays , anniversaries , Sunday mornings in bed . It s so real . I mean , I could smell her shampoo . I could feel that little ridge on her shin from when she flipped it over when she was a kid on her bike . And she d be with me , with all of our best memories , and it d be perfect . And then she d be gone .
Anita : She s still here , Edmund , in that house , close enough you can touch her .
Edmund : And here I am again , searching for new memories -- when I could give her everything .
Anita : You still can . You do . You know why Maria is not off somewhere pining for better days ? Because when she needs happiness and peace , your wife turns to you .
Edmund : Santos women . You re very smart , very strong , and you re very sweet liars . Except Isabella . She had it right . What did Maria do to deserve a marriage like this ?
Maria : Come on in . It s so good to see you .
Livia : Even in my official capacity ? Papers for Anita .
Maria : Yeah . Yeah , I know . She told me . If she s got to go through something this tough , I m glad she s at least going through it with you . She will be back any minute .
Livia : How s Edmund doing ?
Maria : Oh , you know -- you know Edmund . He s superhuman even on a bad day . I -- I just told a ridiculous lie and I -- I apologize . I m sorry .
Livia : Well , let s make a no apologies rule , and you do nt have to talk about it if you do nt want to .
Maria : No , you know what ? I do . I really -- actually , I do because I feel like I need to say it out loud that he s not doing well . And everything is a reminder -- you know , the stairs , the furniture is all in the way , and the -- and I just feel useless and really clueless as to how to make it easier for him somehow and how to convince him that I really love him no matter what .
Livia : Well , I can sue someone for you , I can file a motion , or I can listen .
Maria : Oh . God , it s so weird because you and I never really got a chance to be close before or anything , but I feel like we just sort of jumped a stage .
Livia : Well , it s weird but it feels good .
Maria : Yeah . Yeah , I needed someone like you around , someone who s direct and honest and has a happy marriage and a lawyer who s used to some touchy subjects .
Livia : Yeah , you d be hard - pressed to shock me , and even if you could , I d be faking it .
Maria : And it does nt hurt that you re not a Santos .
Livia : As in whatever you tell me wo nt come up at Sunday dinner .
Maria : Mm - hmm . I just ripped into my poor mother -- oh , God -- for even bringing up the subject .
Livia : Bringing up what subject ?
Maria : Well , fair warning because it is a touchy subject ahead .
Livia : Try me .
Maria : Ok , I need your -- your verbal expertise . How do I convince my husband that it s ok that we re not having sex , when really it s driving me crazy ?
Kendall : I do nt know when to quit . Ask anyone . The minister did nt bear false witness . When I heard that Ryan and Greenlee were getting married , I showed up as bride number two . I know -- it s pathetic and pointless because Ryan loves Greenlee . These two -- they re meant to be together . And if I ca nt come between them , how in the hell can a couple of suits ?
George : Well , that s very romantic , but the timing is still suspicious . Now , you waited to file billion - dollar transfer papers until after you were married .
Ryan : You ever been married , Milligan ? I mean , no matter how spontaneous it is , there s a lot of planning involved . I had dishes left in the sink -- I mean , I was swamped . I had papers left on my desk .
Greenlee : When Ryan makes a romantic gesture , he goes all out . He just wanted us to have our happily ever after .
George : In the kingdom of Cambias billionaires .
Ryan : Even rich people fall in love , Milligan . No crime in that .
Man : I deal with securities fraud , not fairy tales . Give me some evidence or let me get back to work .
Ryan : So are we done ?
Man : Ms. Hart has risked a fair amount of embarrassment to corroborate your story , and I -- I ca nt imagine why she would have any reason to lie .
Greenlee : So no more investigation ?
Man : I think we ve wasted enough time here . Congratulations . Gentlemen .
Ryan : Gentlemen , ladies . Milligan !
Kendall : Ok . Well , it s been real .
Ryan : No , no , no , Kendall . You are not going anywhere until you tell us what that performance was all about .
Erica : I miss you , too , Jack .
Jack : Well , I m certainly glad to hear that .
Erica : But that does nt mean that you can talk me into coming back there .
Jack : No , I would nt even try .
Erica : Nothing you can say could change my mind .
Jack : Erica , I want you back here more than I can say , but , now , that s just me telling you what s on my mind , how I feel -- not trying to change your mind . I realize that you ve made a decision , you ve made a choice , and I intend to honor it .
Erica : Thank you . If you really can put your own feelings aside and -- and respect my wishes , then maybe there is some hope for us , Jack . Maybe things can work out for us someday .
Jack : Yeah , well , our someday would be nothing short of magic , Erica -- our future , the one we ve wanted , the one we ve worked so hard for , the one we ve earned . But that future will never happen unless you re sober . Unless you re sober , our someday will never come .
Bianca : You did the right thing .
Jack : Did I ? Well , I guess we ll just see , wo nt we ?
Zach : Hey . Peace offering . I just comped about 20 tickets to Demi and Ashton s entourage . There s no word if the supercouple is going to come to the show or not , but if they do , how about a little private meet and greet ?
Erica : I ll see how I feel after the show .
Zach : You re still worried about someone at home finding out ?
Erica : Look , I said we ll see .
Zach : Desiree ? Something wrong ?
Erica : And if there were ?
Zach : Then I would try to help you .
Erica : Of course you would . Look , you and I -- strictly business .
Zach : I was being very charming back there .
Erica : Do nt be . I m not the least bit interested in your private life , and you already know way too much about mine . I dance , you sign my checks . That s it .
Zach : That s fine with me . And yours is not the only check I have to sign .
Ryan : Well ? We re waiting . What was that all about ?
Kendall : Ok , why do nt you ease off on the demands there , boss , ok ? I saved your butts .
Greenlee : We were doing just fine without you .
Ryan : Yeah , and you said you heard a private conversation ? Kendall , was that -- now , was that for Milligan s benefit or was that for ours ?
Kendall : Why do nt you just relax . Take it easy , ok ? The SEC just let you off the hook . Open a bottle of bubbly and take your wifey out dancing .
Ryan : I m not playing here , Kendall . I want to know what is going on .
Kendall : Ok , Ryan , you know me better than anybody else . What s my motivation behind anything ? What s in it for me .
Ryan : So ? So what is it that you think that you just accomplished ?
Kendall : I just kept those suits the hell away from Fusion and Enchantment . Besides , I really do nt want to see you go to jail .
Greenlee : Well , not Ryan , maybe . But me in a jailhouse jump suit ? The idea must give you a nice , warm glow .
Kendall : Oh , the two of you now are like two little love bugs -- you re joined by the hip . I ca nt crush one of you under my heel without crushing the other .
Greenlee : Careful . You re glowing again .
Kendall : So what if I am ? You re the big winner here , Greenlee -- both of you . You have each other , you have the Cambias fortune , you have a nice , long , happy future together .
Greenlee : With your best wishes , no doubt .
Kendall : I have some questions for you , Ryan . After everything I heard or said I heard , the only reason that you did marry was for love , right ?
Greenlee : You really do nt know when to quit .
Ryan : I told you at Chandlers -- I love Greenlee .
Kendall : I just had to hear it again . Ok . Well , my work here is done . In case you do nt like the trunk , you can consider today your real wedding gift . You re welcome .
Greenlee : What the hell was that ? A free pass ?
Ryan : No , not by a long shot . I think we are still in a lot of trouble .
Ryan : Well , before the SEC walked out , I was thinking billion - dollar fraud , butt in jail trouble . But now ? I m thinking worse .
Greenlee : But it was a shutout . Bad suits , zero . Team Lavery wins the game .
Ryan : And that trunk that she mentioned --
Greenlee : She bought us that ?
Ryan : Big and ugly , and right in the middle of the room .
Greenlee : She s punishing us with bad decor ?
Ryan : And she said that she heard a private conversation , and that trunk was heavy as hell .
Greenlee : As in Kendall hiding like a psycho - stalker in the trunk heavy ? I mean , I know she s whacked , but that would be off the whack chart .
Ryan : I saw Bianca . She opened it , and then she shut it real fast .
Greenlee : Maybe it was musty .
Ryan : And she was talking out loud to herself . I mean , I was nt even in the room . She was talking to herself , and then all of a sudden Kendall shows up at our private meeting .
Greenlee : Oh , my God . But if Kendall knows , then she knows we re not legit . And if she knew that , she would use that against us , but she did nt .
Ryan : And I do nt know why .
Greenlee : Her plan of attack is usually very predictable .
Ryan : Look , we do nt know that she knows anything , but if she does , she has serious ammo .
Greenlee : So you think she s just going to sit on her arsenal ?
Ryan : And you better bet our billions that she will pull out the big guns as soon as she needs something and refuses to lose .
Kendall : Hey .
Bianca : Hi .
Kendall : Binks , I have big news !
Bianca : Me , too . Um -- you first .
Kendall : I m getting Ryan back .
Zach : You need help ?
Erica : Excuse me ?
Zach : You seemed mesmerized .
Erica : I was just about to go to the ladies room , unless I have to clear that with my boss .
Zach : You re always hanging out in this bar . Why is that ?
Erica : What happened to strictly business ?
Zach : This is business . I gave orders that no one s going to give you anything stronger that a cappuccino . You did nt touch your breakfast . Then why are you still here ?
Erica : You continue to overstep your bounds . You are my boss , not my keeper . I m not going to remind you again .
Zach : Desiree . You do great box office . That could change just like that if you do nt get it together .
Erica : You know something ? Since you ca nt stop yourself from hovering over me , I m just going to have to remove the temptation . I m moving out of here just as soon as possible .
Zach : Yeah ?
George : Milligan . The meeting at Cambias is over .
Zach : And ?
George : The Lavery marriage looks legit . The SEC dropped the investigation .
Zach : Ok , thanks .
Bianca : I can only imagine what Mom is going through right now .
Kendall : About a fifth a day , probably .
Bianca : Kendall , I know you re upset , but can we just lay off the sarcasm right now , please , just for a little while ?
Kendall : I m sorry , I m sorry . She makes me so furious , and I do nt understand why she s -- she s throwing her life away for what ? For nothing . It s stupid .
Bianca : It s also miserable and depressing . Can we just change the subject ?
Kendall : Yes , please .
Bianca : I m sorry -- going on and on about Desiree . Tell me about Ryan .
Kendall : Mom always did love to upstage me .
Bianca : How can you get him back ? He is still married , is nt he ?
Kendall : By name only . On letterhead , not between the sheets .
Bianca : Well , you ca nt know that for sure .
Kendall : No , the amazing thing is , I do know that for sure . I overheard it straight from the horse s mouth -- that would be Ryan . And from the horse s ass -- that would be Greenlee .
Bianca : All right , I get it .
Kendall : No , and as soon as I heard it , Bianca , I knew -- I knew that he still loved me . Hell , even Greenlee knows . And Mary -- she -- she really messed Greenlee up good . I mean , how do you willingly -- how do you willingly marry a man who loves someone else ? It s pathetic . I do nt get it .
Bianca : Well , does Ryan know that you know ?
Kendall : Well , it nearly killed me , but I did nt -- I did nt say anything . I kept my mouth shut . Greenlee was there . She was hanging all over him , playing the icky - poo wife . No , this time -- this time I m going to be patient . I m going to wait for the right moment , and then Ryan and I are going to have our chance . I m not going to screw this up again .
Bianca : You already have !
Kendall : No , Bianca , I just told you , I know --
Bianca : That you got that precious bit of information by hiding in a trunk and spying on him .
Kendall : Yeah , proof that I need that Ryan loves me .
Bianca : Kendall , the man faked a DNA test for you . He s offered you a ring more than once . And -- oh , yeah , that s right -- he told you that he loves you , again and again and again . If that is nt proof enough for you , then you re the horse s ass .
Kendall : All right , go on , Binks . Do nt hold back .
Bianca : Kendall , you re the reason that you and Ryan are nt married right now . Your need to -- to demand proof of love instead of just believing . You pulled a Mom . Look where that s gotten her . So go ahead . Go ahead , tell Ryan that you tricked him into revealing the truth . So he ll , what , take you in his arms and kiss you until you ca nt see straight ? Yeah , right . If I know Ryan , he ll tell you to go straight to hell .
Maria : Sometimes it feels like this has been going on forever . And the little things I can deal with . I just break them off into small pieces and I deal , you know . But the big things -- intimacy and , you know , the before , during , and after -- all that at peace but giddy feeling . Right now , I really could use a cosmo . To tell you the truth , it would nt hurt .
Livia : Come on .
Maria : Oh . Edmund and I -- that s -- we have some pretty serious chemistry , you know . Great sex -- we had really , really , really great sex . And now it s -- I m just lucky if I get a kiss and a hug good night , you know ? This is insane because my husband is in a wheelchair , and I m complaining about what , you know ?
Livia : About the loss of a vital connection . You have watched Edmund cope , and now you are watching intimacy slip away . That s got to hurt . Let s not forget our no apologies rule .
Maria : I have to say I miss it . I really do .
Livia : Well , this brings us to another cosmo moment . Dr. Grey , you are aware that there are an infinite variety of lovely ways to make love , do nt you ?
Maria : Oh , yeah , I am very aware . Yeah , and I love my husband and I find him infinitely attractive , you know , regardless of his legs .
Livia : Then what s the problem ?
Maria : It s Edmund . He s not having any of it . He wo nt even test the waters , nothing . He wo nt even broach the subject .
Livia : Hmm .
Maria : And I keep trying to convince him that there are all kinds of different ways -- different great ways to -- you know , just different . But to tell you the truth , I m having a hard time convincing him because I m having a hard time convincing myself . What we had was really awesome , and it made us us .
Livia : I hear you and I feel your pain .
Maria : Thank you . I do nt know . I just need the -- the words , really , you know , to make this better for me and Edmund , and -- words that we can both believe that will make it ok . But there are nt any , are there ?
Edmund : I got lucky when I found Maria . Both times .
Anita : Yeah , you found a partner . Someone who loves you no matter what .
Edmund : Bobby hurt you . I hate that .
Anita : When Bobby and I said our vows , I cried tears of happiness because I felt the words . I knew I found my forever , for better or worse .
Edmund : It s funny how they sneak those words in there , you know ?
Anita : Every day at work , I see the worse -- what the patients have lost , the pain -- and I imagine myself in their position , in your position .
Edmund : Sucks , does nt it ?
Anita : Please do nt think I m being presumptuous , but I think I can imagine how hard it would be . And I think I would survive if I had a love like Maria � s to get me through . But this -- I did nt lose an arm , I did nt lose my legs , my sight . But I lost something I never thought I would . I lost my trust for Bobby . I lost the faith in my vows . I lost the other half of my soul . Edmund , you do nt know how lucky you are .
Edmund : Yeah , I do . Thank you .
Lily : You re sad .
Jack : Why would you say that ?
Lily : Your mouth is down . That means you re sad . Up is happy , down is sad . Eyebrows are trickier . When they re all bunched up like yours , that means you re sad , angry , or confused . But the mouth is easy . And yours is down , so you re sad .
Jack : You re absolutely right . I am sad .
Lily : Because of me ?
Jack : Oh , no , Lily . Why would you even say that ?
Lily : Because I get in the way sometimes .
Jack : Sweetheart , who told you that ?
Lily : Ms. Turner from school . I was in the hallway , and Larry was pushing the food cart . He came real close , real fast . She grabbed me and pulled me away and told me I was in the way . I figured since you did nt have food carts , I would nt get in the way . But was I wrong , and now you re sad ?
Jack : Lily , you will never be in the way here . I love you . You re my daughter .
Lily : Ok .
Jack : Ok . Could I give you a hug ? Not for very long , not -- not too tight . Ok . I understand .
Lily : I want your mouth to turn up , Daddy .
Jack : You got it .
Bianca : I ve gone off on you a lot lately , have nt I ?
Kendall : Only a couple of times .
Bianca : And I ve gotten pretty intense .
Kendall : Well , you have your reasons .
Bianca : It s because I love you . It s because I ca nt bear to see you end up like Mom .
Kendall : Is that really how you see me ?
Bianca : No . Not yet .
Kendall : Ouch .
Bianca : Look , I know that you re -- that you re relieved that Ryan still loves you and not Greenlee . But I just want you to think twice before you go running after him and tell him that he passed your little pop quiz -- you know , the one that he does nt even know he took . Because you just might end up as far away from love as you are right now . Just as far away as Mom is . I love you .
Kendall : I love you , too .
Bianca : I ll see you , ok ?
Kendall : Ok .
Singer : Baby , there s something on my mind tonight there s a reason to believe we almost got it right there s a fire burning in the firelight as we roll on tonight there s paper

J.R. : Feels like you re willing to think the worst of me .
Tad : I m just worried .
Zach : You re not fit to perform !
Erica : You ca nt stop me !
Kendall : You think I m going to cause trouble for Ryan and Greenlee .
Greenlee : What s she up to ?

### Dialogue:
Frank : What s that ?
Josh : That s my statement on the building collapse . I would have been here earlier , but I was at the hospital helping out with some of the accident victims .
Frank : Well , unfortunately , Josh , the press does nt consider this an accident . We re lucky everyone made it out .
Josh : Yeah , I understand that . I m taking full responsibility . It was a mistake on my part .
Frank : Well , um , as far as I m concerned , this case is closed . Cassie came in and she admitted that she was at fault .
Josh : Cassie ? Cassie had nothing to do with this .
Frank : Josh , here we go . You took the blame for her once . We re not doing this again .
Josh : Ah .
Coop : That would look good on you .
Ashlee : Ah , I was ... ahh --
Coop : Do you want to try it on ?
Ashlee : No , I do nt . I was just looking . Because , I mean , I have nowhere to wear it . I d wear it to clean the coffee pots at Co2 .
Coop : Or you could wear it to the Spaulding charity hoo - ha next week .
Ashlee : Ah , you see I did nt get an invitation to any hoo - ha .
Coop : Uh - huh . Well , my dad actually got us a couple of tickets . So he wants us to recruit some donors for his campaign .
Ashlee : Oh , yeah , sure . Yeah . Absolutely . I ll meet you there .
Coop : Ashlee , I do nt want to meet you there . I would like you to go with me as my date .
Ashlee : Really ?
Coop : Yeah-- yes . Is there ever going to be a time when you re not going to be surprised that I want to go out with you ?
Ashlee : I do nt know , maybe like after we re married for like four years ... and , that was a joke .
Coop : It s okay , I got it . Look , I just want to have a great time with you . So are we on , Ash ?
Ashlee : Ah , it sounds really good , Coop Cooper-- it really does . I want to say yes . It s just that I do nt want to rush into things .
Coop : Rush ? Ashlee , we ve been on one date in six months .
Ashlee : Yeah , I know . It s just when things get real , I just get-- you know , I m going to call you , okay ?
Doris : Ava ?
Ava : Doris , hi . I was just leaving you some campaign flyers . I designed three of them , actually . Not that you ll like any of them , but ...
Doris : You created flyers for my campaign ?
Ava : I did . I did . Alan has been inspiring everybody to get involved . But I have to say , I truly believe in your cause .
Doris : Yeah , like what ?
Ava : Well , you re tough on crime , right ? I hate crime . And I was thinking about how you ve embraced Ashlee since she s gotten out , and I find that very admirable .
Doris : Oh , yes , well , come on in . Ashlee-- well , I m assuming you know she is supporting my opponent ?
Ava : Why is she campaigning for Buzz ? Has nt she read any of your program initiatives ?
Doris : I doubt it . She is spending way too much time with your ex .
Ava : Oh , yeah , Coop . Well , he s gon na leave her just like he left me , but , anyways-- and the Cooper s , well , the Cooper s are not you .
Doris : ( Laughs )
Ava : So , Doris , what do you need ?
Doris : Are you offering to work on my campaign ?
Ava : I would love that . I d like to learn everything I can from you .
Alan : Cassie ?
Cassie : You have five seconds , Alan . Where is Reva . What the hell did you do to my sister ?
Jeffrey : Give me the gun , Cassie .
Cassie : No ! Where is she ? What did you do to her ?
Alan : Do nt worry about your sister .
Cassie : Where is she ? She s gone , is nt she . Just like Tammy , just like Jonathan and Sarah .
Alan : Cassie , listen .
Cassie : And you are not going to get away with it this time , Alan . You have taken the lives of four people that I love . And I should shoot you right now . I should just finish the job Ashlee started .
Jeffrey : Cassie , do nt !
Cassie : Why the hell not ?
Reva : Hey ! What s going on ? Cassie , what are you doing with a gun ? Put it down ! Are you all right ?
Alan : I m okay . But you got here just in time .
Cassie : What the hell ?
Alan : I think , Reva , your sister thought that I may have a ...
Reva : Really ? You thought Alan had killed me ?
Jeffrey : Well , you just disappeared , Reva , no call , no message . We knew you got into a fight . Ava told us .
Reva : I am so sorry I had you so worried . I really am . But , look , look , feel my pulse . Here , let me hug you .
Alan : She is better than ever . Feisty as ever , too , I might add .
Reva : ( Laughs )
Jeffrey : So what the hell is going on ? Ava told me you threatened to throw Reva out of a plane .
Reva : Oh , well , he was joking . ( Laughs ) I mean , things are good with us , right , Alan ?
Alan : Things are better than ever .
Ava : This photograph does nt do you any justice . And the bio , I mean , I can do the bio for you . I just need some personal information . So , you started out as the Assistant DA , and then you became the DA , and then what was before that ?
Doris : An attorney .
Ava : Okay . What town was that ?
Doris : That s not important .
Ava : I saw you doing an interview with Ashlee the other day , when the reporter was asking you about Ashlee dropping out school , you were giving some very vague answers .
Doris : I have to get that . Excuse me .
Ava : Uh - huh .
Doris : Doris Wolfe . Oh , never too busy for you . It s the attorney - general . I ll be right back .
Ava : Okay .
Doris : Yes .
Ava : Ashlee , what did you do ?
Doris : Is everything okay here ?
Ava : Oh , yeah . I was just going over some perspective voters letters .
Doris : Okay , well , great . I have to make one more phone call , and then we ll get right to work .
Ava : Great .
Alan : I m going to get your bags out there , off the boat . I ll be right back .
Reva : Okay . Thanks .
Cassie : Okay . Where am I ? Did I just land on another planet ?
Jeffrey : You re safe now . Look at me .
Reva : Oh , please . No , no , no . I have nt been drugged . I have nt been blackmailed . I m feeling a little seasick , but other than that , I m okay .
Cassie : None of this makes sense .
Jeffrey : You just disappeared , your house was a mess , the door was wide open . We knew that Alan was there .
Reva : I know .
Jeffrey : A chair was turned over ...
Reva : Okay . I left in a hurry .
Jeffrey : To take a boat ride with Alan Spaulding ?
Reva : Oh ! You know what ? We did , we had an argument , okay ? We had an argument .
Cassie : And then what ?
Reva : And then , you know , I had to go after him . I was angry . I went after him . I found out where he was going .
Alan : You want me to finish the story ?
Reva : Just do nt be long - winded about it .
Alan : Well , Reva followed me to my island house . And I saw her outside , through my window . And I grabbed her .
Reva : Yeah , and it scared the hell out of me .
Alan : And then she berated me about trying to put Daisy back in juvenile detention .
Reva : Yeah , and then he yelled at me because I went out partying with Lizzie , and let her get the butterfly tattoo you hate so much .
Alan : Yes . And then she grabbed a 50-year - old bottle of wine and ...
Reva : Oh , come on . 50 years old , I poured it all over him .
Alan : Yeah , and here we are , arguing like a couple of teenagers . And we realized that the things that we were arguing about basically was our families .
Reva : Right . Right . And we talked a lot about that . And then I realized that we re a lot alike , and so we finished talking . All night long . We just stayed up and talked .
Cassie : And you expect us to believe that you just kissed and made up .
Reva : Well , actually , we did nt do that . But we did laugh a lot , and we hashed over a lot of things .
Alan : We came to terms with our past . Reva and I realize that we have a lot of things in common and a lot of the same priorities .
Jeffrey : You do ?
Reva : Uh - huh . Actually , we declared a truce .
Alan : Yes .
Jeffrey : That s quite a story . It s very touching .
Reva : Thank you .
Jeffrey : Do you believe any of it ?
Cassie : Not a word .
Josh : Golf balls , really ? You re buying golf balls ?
Billy : You know , I may be buried in work , but I deserve something . What s your problem ?
Josh : You re letting Cassie take the blame for your mistake ?
Billy : What are you talking about ?
Josh : I just came from the police station , Billy . You know , I was trying to give Frank my statement on the accident , but he informed me that Cassie has already come forward and taken the blame .
Billy : Yeah .
Josh : And you knew about it .
Billy : Hey , I know she wanted to .
Josh : And you did nt say a word to me !
Billy : She told me in confidence .
Josh : I think you re both crazy .
Billy : Well , are nt we lucky that you re here now to straighten us all out .
Josh : Hey , I do nt need the attitude from you right now , Billy .
Billy : Josh , I tried to talk her out ...
Josh : You tried .
Billy : Yeah , I did . I reminded her about R.J. and Cassie has a mind of her own . She is stubborn . She wants to pay you back for going to jail for her . And , you know what , I ll tell you something , she actually made a pretty good argument .
Josh : Really ?
Billy : Yeah .
Josh : Why do nt you tell me exactly what s good about any of this ?
Billy : She said she s an amateur , and she does nt know her way around carpentry . Now , she said people will forgive her for hiring the wrong contractor the way they would not forgive us .
Josh : You mean you .
Billy : Yeah , right , me . Okay , look . I ll go down and talk to Frank .
Josh : No , you ca nt do that , Billy . You know why ? Because he already-- he already thinks that I m trying to cover for her , the same way I did when Alan was shot . So you ca nt do that . I do nt get you . I really do nt get you ! What the hell is wrong with you ?
Billy : Whoa , just calm down here . What s the worse that can happen . She has to go and give a press conference .
Josh : Yeah , but that might send her over the edge again , Billy ! I do nt understand you ! I really-- I have a good mind right now to ...
Billy : Oh , hey , you have a good mind to hit me ?
Josh : Yeah .
Billy : Go ahead , hit me !
Josh : Oh , really ?
Billy : Go ahead , hit me .
Josh : Okay !
Billy : My turn !
Josh : No , I do nt think so .
Billy : I want to knock the religion right out of you .
Josh : You told me to hit you .
Billy : Yeah , but you did nt have to hit me .
Josh : Yeah , well , then do nt make the offer next time !
Billy : Oh , okay , my fault . Everything is my fault .
Josh : Yeah , that s the way it looks right now .
Billy : Hey , look , Josh , nobody feels worse about this whole thing than I do . Nobody ! I made a mistake , and I do nt need anybody rubbing it in , least of all you .
Josh : Least of all , Billy ? The woman that I m 99 % married to is going to take the fall for this because my brother , the man in charge ca nt handle it .
Billy : Yeah , well , you put me in charge . That s right , you did . You left me in charge . You went off somewhere-- hey , you did nt give me that much room now , did you ?
Josh : Cassie has not returned the messages I have left for her . Do you know where she is ?
Billy : No . That s all you re going to say , huh ?
Josh : I thought I could trust you . I m not going to make that mistake again .
Reva : So is this your government training ?
Jeffrey : Oh , you do nt need a lot of training to know when a story stinks .
Cassie : Yeah , it stinks . Reva , we sent you a message . We sent you a message from Shayne , using your secret code . I remembered it . I used it , and you did nt answer .
Reva : A message ? I-- I do nt remember .
Alan : Well , you know , there is nt reception out there on the island . It s non- existent , it s like you re cut off from everyone .
Jeffrey : You ve got an answer for everything , do nt you ?
Reva : You know , actually , yeah , he tried to call Lizzie , too , and he could nt get through .
Jeffrey : And did you try to call me ?
Reva : No .
Jeffrey : Why not ?
Reva : Because , you know how I get when I m obsessed with something !
Jeffrey : So obsessed , you did nt have the time to make a call ?
Reva : I had to hurry so I could follow Alan .
Cassie : That s your excuse ?
Reva : Oh , come on . What do you want me to say ? That he tied me to the anchor of his yacht ?
Cassie : That I d believe .
Reva : I told you they d think we lost our minds .
Alan : Time will take care of that .
Reva : It was a good fight .
Alan : More like an exorcism . Now , we ll talk later . I have to go to the house and pick up some things . You re okay ?
Reva : Yes , actually . It s nice to know you re on my side for once .
Alan : ( Laughs ) Well , nice to see you two .
Jeffrey : I think I ll ...
Reva : Jeffrey ?
Jeffrey : I m sorry , Reva , I m late for a meeting . I ll see you later .
Cassie : How about you and Alan come over to the house later , and we ll sit down and sing songs and make s m ores . Does that sound good ?
Ava : Computer , dentists , doctors .
Doris : May I have that file ?
Ava : Sure . I was just looking for some voter registration packets . Do you have any of those around here ?
Doris : Yeah , they would be right here .
Ava : Oh , thank you . Okay , well , I ll get these out right away . And your bio , I ll start on that as well . I guess the only thing I m going to need is a copy of your entire campaign ...
Doris : You know what , I will get you a press packet . I ll be right back .
Ava : Great . Perfect .
Doris : Here you go .
Ava : Oh , great .
Doris : All set ?
Ava : I have everything I need .
Doris : Oh , great .
Reva : I m exhausted . Can we talk about all of this in the car ?
Cassie : No . Because you ll just grab the wheel and drive it off the road .
Reva : What ?
Cassie : I know you think I m your dumb little sister , Reva , but I know you . I know you did all this just so we would drop everything and come looking for you .
Reva : Cassie , I explained all of this to you .
Cassie : Yeah , try again .
Reva : This is about me and Alan . We had it out .
Cassie : And look at the timing . The moment Josh finds out he s not legally divorced , you re gone .
Reva : You think I left because ...
Cassie : Because you do nt want to sign the papers .
Reva : Ugh ! ( Cell phone rings )
Cassie : What ?
Josh : Um , I got your text . I ve been trying to get to you .
Cassie : Sorry . Josh , um , is something wrong ?
Josh : Frank told me that you were the one that hired the subcontractor that was in charge of the building collapse , and that s news to me .
Cassie : I was going to talk to you about that .
Josh : Well , we ll have to talk about it later , okay ? Is Reva with you there ? I need to talk to her .
Cassie : Why not ?
Reva : Hello , Joshua .
Josh : I need to talk to you about the divorce , the one that did not go through . Now , I know this is hard for you , it s hard for me , too , but , Reva , if we re going to fight about this .
Reva : No , I m not going to fight you on it . Where do you want to send the papers?I doubt whether this particular vacation home has a fax machine , so if you want to send them over to Cross Creek . Oh , you did send them there . Well , I m not there .
Josh : Well , I do nt have them with me , so ...
Cassie : Go . Get the papers .
Josh : Okay . But then we re gonna-- we re gon na talk about what you said to Frank , okay ?
Cassie : I know what I did was right , and I m not sorry .
Josh : Yeah , I kind of knew you were going to say that . Just tell Reva that I ll meet her at the house .
Cassie : He says he ll meet you at the house .
Reva : Well , then , that s where I m going to go .
Cassie : See ya .
Reva : See ya .
Cassie : Hello ? What kind of trouble ? I m not going to say anything . Do nt worry , I m on my way .
Jeffrey : I ll have whatever you re having .
Alan : I m having scotch .
Jeffrey : Scotch is fine . I did nt want to cause a scene earlier , but I thought we should have a little chat alone .
Alan : Let me guess ... about Reva ?
Jeffrey : I do nt think Reva is defending you out of her own free will .
Alan : Funny , she seemed pretty free to me .
Jeffrey : And I m going to find out what it is your hiding .
Alan : Well , you will find nothing , except a couple of people who are very tired of fighting each other .
Jeffrey : If you hurt her in any way , you wo nt see me coming .
Alan : Why are you so determined to find a problem where there is nt one ? Are you jealous ?
Jeffrey : ( Laughs ) Alan , you re not Reva s type .
Alan : Well , if you re not jealous of Reva and me . Ava ? You know , I ve become a father figure to her . She shows great potential .
Ava : Hey , Ashlee , how are you ? What did you buy ?
Ashlee : Just a dress .
Ava : Can I see ? Oh , wow , this is beautiful . Coop s going to love you in that .
Ashlee : Coop s not really into clothes .
Ava : Ah , all guys say that . But they always love it when you look good . Think back to your prom . What did your boyfriend say about your dress ?
Ashlee : Jonathan Randall took me . He just came to get information out of me .
Ava : Oh , well , then how about another dance ? You must have gone to another dance ? Oh , is Coop your first boyfriend ?
Ashlee : Why are you talking to me like we re girlfriends .
Ava : I m just trying to make conversation with you . I do nt like being at odds . I like you .
Ashlee : Thanks , that s nice .
Ava : If you ever want to come and talk to me about anything .
Ashlee : Ava , I have to go . I have ...
Ava : Okay , sure . All right . Just tell Coop I said hi .
Cassie : Billy , what s going on ? You said you were in trouble .
Billy : Yeah . Um ... I let him down again .
Cassie : Josh ?
Billy : Yeah . He knows you re going to take the hit for this construction mess .
Cassie : Yeah , I know . I talked to him , and he is not too happy about it , but he ll get over it .
Billy : I do nt know about that . He s completely lost faith in me . I should have never let you do it . I just-- I just needed to cover .
Cassie : Hey , you were just trying to protect Lewis Construction . We both were , okay ?
Billy : No . No , I was protecting myself . Here , take a sip .
Cassie : I do nt want any coffee .
Billy : No . Take a sip .
Cassie : Is that whiskey ?
Billy : Yeah . It-- it just all kind of got away from me .
Reva : So , you re really going to go through with this whole marriage thing , huh ?
Josh : Reva , I d be married to Cassie right now if our original divorce papers had gone through .
Reva : Could be a sign .
Josh : I agree . A sign that we had a really , really , really bad attorney .
Reva : Well , if that s the way you want to think about it . I guess congratulations are in order .
Josh : Somehow I do nt think you mean that .
Reva : Not for a second . But it s okay , really , because my life is pretty damn okay without you in it right now . And one day you ll figure out what a mistake you made , and then ... we ll see . But for now .
Josh : Well , I figured you would get in a few shots .
Reva : Hmm , I m entitled .
Josh : I guess you are . So , you and Jeffrey .
Reva : Yeah .
Josh : That s good . I guess .
Reva : It is .
Josh : Shall we sign ?
Reva : Let me find a pen , just the right pen . ( Laughs )
Josh : I miss this old guy .
Reva : Waldo ?
Josh : Yeah .
Reva : Jeffrey talks to him all the time .
Josh : Really ?
Reva : Yeah .
Josh : What does he say ?
Reva : Okay . This one works . I ll just sign the papers , and that will be it .
Josh : I do nt think it s ever actually it for us .
Reva : You re probably right about that . Because you are the love of my life and always will be , even if you are married to someone else . You know something ? I have lived my life on the edge , never looking back . But this time ... regrets , huh ?
Josh : Regrets , yes .
Reva : Things were good between us , were nt they ? We were good together .
Josh : Yes , we were .
Josh : It seems like we re always saying good - bye to each other .
Reva : That s true . How many times have we tried to get divorced ?
Josh : I ve lost count . But somehow I think today is the day .
Reva : Yeah , well , that s good . Because , you know what , I m exhausted .
Josh : When you look back , I think there was more good than bad . Two beautiful children . A lot to be grateful for .
Reva : I ca nt argue with that .
Josh : Um ... you get the house , of course , and both cars and your stake that H.B. left you in Lewis . Pretty much everything we talked about before-- I ve already signed . If you want to look at it , that s fine .
Reva : I trust you ... most of the time . Okay . I ll sign . Okay . Done .
Josh : Thank you .
Reva : Bud ... I love you .
Josh : You , too . Be happy .
Cassie : I m not saying it s okay , what you did . I m just saying I ve been there . Maybe I did nt reach for a drink , but I did things that most people , especially Josh , did nt approve of .
Billy : Like what ?
Cassie : I am going to go meet with the press , and I am going to tell them that I hired Marlin . I m taking the blame for this .
Billy : Josh is never going to let you do it .
Cassie : I do nt care . I m not giving you away . There is no reason to . As long as you promise me that you will get help .
Billy : I ll go find a meeting right now .
Alan : You know , Jeffrey , I can understand you being envious of my relationship with your daughter .
Jeffrey : You know what , Alan , I might not be the best father in the world , but you-- you re a disaster . So no worries there . As far as Reva is concerned .
Alan : It s this simple : The war between Reva and me is over .
Jeffrey : So she just forgave you , right , for Jonathan and Tammy and Sarah ?
Alan : I did nt drive Jonathan s car over the cliff . Now , Reva and I have been caught in this vicious cycle . She strikes out at me , I strike out at her . And we both realized if we kept this up , someone else was going to get hurt .
Jeffrey : Why do I find it so hard to believe you .
Alan : I do nt know , but if you do nt believe me , go and ask Reva .
Jeffrey : I m going to do that .
Alan : He s on his way over .
Ashlee : Oh , Coop , you scared me !
Coop : Oh , wow . I know I forgot to shave today , but I did nt think I looked that bad . Hey , come on !
Ashlee : What ?
Coop : We ve only got 12 minutes .
Ashlee : Until what ?
Coop : Until the interview with your mom airs on TV . I thought we could watch it .
Ashlee : Oh , I was nt going to watch it .
Coop : Oh , come on . It s going to be fun .
Ashlee : No , I , I , I-- I really was nt thinking about having a date tonight .
Coop : What date ? Ashlee , we re just watching the TV . We re not going away to the Caribbean or anything . Look , if you want me to back off , I will . All right ? I just thought we had something . Or maybe you do nt feel that way . Maybe this is just about you getting back at me for wasting time with Ava , I do nt know .
Ashlee : I would never do that ! Okay . I really want you to be here .
Ava : Same town Ashlee s from . Operator ? Hi , I think I lost my friend s address . If I give you a name and number , can you help me out ? I m afraid it s worse than you thought .
Frank : Hey , Billy . You going to a meeting ? Good for you , man . Come on , I ll walk you over .
Billy : Well , actually , um , I think I m going to go to one closer to the office . I ve got a lot more work to do . Thanks anyway , Frank .
Frank : Yeah , you got it .
Cassie : So , I m going to make your favorite tonight .
Josh : Cassie , I m not going to let you take the wrap for that building collapse , okay ?
Cassie : Look , if we re going to be married .
Josh : If ? If ? Reva signed the papers ; the divorce is final . We re going to make it legal as soon as we can find a judge .
Cassie : Yes , I know . So when , when we are married , we re going to have to share everything , right ?
Josh : Yeah . Yeah , we ll share everything . But we re not going to share the blame for this catastrophe .
Cassie : Would you please let me do something , give something back for a change . I am going to be a minister s wife , yes ? So I want to help . I want to do onto others , and lend a helping hand .
Josh : Okay . Fine . You can cook dinner and you can do the dishes .
Cassie : I m serious . I m serious . You have a reputation to protect . If I take responsibility for this , then that frees you up to do what you do , to help people who need you . You ve got to see the big picture .
Josh : Cassie . Cassie , families were hurt . There might be lawsuits , criminal charges .
Cassie : So we will have our lawyers take care of it . I m sure I will get off with just a slap on the wrist . Would you please let me do this for you .
Josh : We ll talk to the lawyers tomorrow . Until then , I think we need to table this . I m still finding it hard to believe that Reva signed those papers so easily .
Cassie : You ? I thought she and Alan ran off just to make a mess for us . Now it s even more of a mystery .
Josh : Um ...
Cassie : Oh , right . Yeah . Alan and Reva are best friends . She was on his island with him drinking and making nice , having a good time together .
Josh : Alan and Reva ?
Cassie : Uh - huh . It s wrong in so many ways I ca nt even count .
Reva : It s just so weird . I mean , Alan and I have nt always hated each other .
Jeffrey : Reva , I did nt even know if you were alive or not . You left this place , the door was wide open , the lights were on , the furniture was turned over .
Reva : Oh , the furniture .
Jeffrey : I launched a full - scale investigation . Are you okay ?
Reva : Yes , I am . I m just embarrassed that I put you through all that . I m sorry .
Jeffrey : Well , I m just -- I m glad you re okay . You are , right ?
Reva : What ?
Jeffrey : Okay !
Reva : Oh .
Jeffrey : You seem a little distracted .
Reva : I m hungry . I m hungry . I m hungry and tired , and there is no food in the house .
Jeffrey : Okay , let s go out and get something .
Reva : No . I m glad you said that . Because I have a better idea . Why do nt I go out and get us that western barbecue that you love so much .
Jeffrey : I do love it , but you re not going anywhere .
Reva : Oh , come on .
Jeffrey : You sit down and relax . And when I get back , you can show me how grateful you are , okay ?
Reva : Okay .
Jeffrey : Do nt go anywhere .
Reva : ( Laughs )
Coop : Look , maybe I m dense about this whole situation , okay ? But I do nt understand what you re doing .
Ashlee : Doing ?
Coop : Yeah . I mean , you tell me that you do nt want me to leave . All right , but then you keep leaving yourself . So what am I supposed to think ?
Ashlee : I m complicated .
Coop : Yeah , I noticed .
Reporter : Still , in doing a little research , here it is , Ashlee dropped out of school several years ago , before you came to town . What happened there , Ashlee ?
Doris : You know what ? Ashlee was just going through a rough patch at school . All kids do . And , you know what ? We were actually both quite unhappy there . And Ross Marler called me and offered me a job , and I came to Springfield .
Ashlee : You know what .
Coop : Hey , what s wrong ?
Ashlee : Um , nothing . I-- I do nt want anything to be wrong .
Ava : Are you Jack Summers ?
Jack : Yes .
Ava : I m here to talk to you about a friend of mine , Ashlee Wolfe .
Jack : Sure . I know Ashlee very well .
Alan : Well ?
Reva : I think I made Jeffrey a believer .
Alan : Well , I hope so . Because I do nt want another meeting like I had with him earlier . What about Cassie ?
Reva : Cassie thinks that I went away to avoid signing the divorce papers . So I had to sign them just to get her off our trail .
Alan : I m sorry .
Reva : So am I. And not just because of those papers .
Alan : I can not believe we got caught coming off of the yacht . We can not afford to make a mistake like that again .
Reva : We ca nt do anything to draw attention to ourselves , not now . Not until this whole thing dies down . Because if we do ...
Alan : Reva , we wo nt . This secret between us will stay buried forever .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Lulu : Howard . Howard , Howard . Did you leave a note on my tray ?
Woman : That would be the final call for flight 247 to Rome . You should be on board .
Sonny : Do you have a problem with what I m asking ?
Jason : Sonny . We have to be sure that Karpov was the shooter . It is way too soon to make a move against anybody .
Ric : So you can walk .
Anthony : I can fly , too , but do nt tell anyone .
Ric : So , uh , how long you been faking ?
Anthony : What difference does it make ?
Ric : Oh , just give me a second , Anthony . You know , I m just trying to -- just trying to put the pieces together . Actually , it s starting to clang into place . This whole shooting at Sonny s tonight , you ve been planning it all along . You just used the paralysis as a cover , right ?
Anthony : Planning it was the easy part . You got to give me credit for still being able to hit a target . I ve been through a lot of reading - glass prescriptions since the last time .
Ric : You meant to shoot Kate ? I thought Sonny was the target .
Anthony : No . I do nt want Sonny dead . I got big plans for him .
Lulu : Answer me .
Howard : No , Lulu , I did nt leave a note with your food .
Lulu : Well , why -- why should I believe you ?
Howard : Because I m telling the truth .
Lulu : Well , somebody wrote it . Somebody left it . It -- who s been near the food cart , okay ? It did nt crawl up on my tray on its own .
Howard : Why do nt I find Dr. Winters ?
Lulu : Drop dead . I will find her on my own .
Morgan : I thought you got shot .
Carly : Oh , sweetie , I m fine . I m fine , and so is Jax .
Morgan : What about Daddy ?
Carly : Daddy s fine , too , okay ? He is . He s just -- he s really sad right now because , um , well , a bad guy shot Kate right before they were supposed to get married .
Morgan : Was it the same bad guy who shot Michael ?
Jax : Morgan , come here . You know , what s important is you do nt have to be afraid because the police are going to catch the bad guys , okay ?
Morgan : Okay .
Jax : And in the meantime , I m going to make sure that you re all safe , so you do nt have to worry about a thing .
Morgan : Okay , okay .
Jax : Okay .
Carly : Are you good to go , sweetie ?
Morgan : Okay .
Carly : All right , let s go . Thank you .
Woman : All the other passengers are on board .
Elizabeth : I m supposed to be traveling with someone , and he s not here yet .
Woman : We ca nt hold the flight , so if you re going , now s the last chance .
Sonny : All right , let me -- let me take this from the top since , obviously , I -- I have not made my point . Karpov shot Kate . In a church . At -- at our wedding ceremony . Whether he was aiming at her or not , it does nt matter . He almost killed , he almost killed the woman that I love , so he has to deal with the consequences of his actions , and so do his people . So -- listen to me . You send a message tonight . Otherwise , Karpov will strike again .
Olivia : It s confusing to know how to feel about Sonny , you know ? Because neither one of us would be here if it was nt for him . You would nt be laying here , and I would nt be sitting here blabbing at you , if it was nt for Sonny and his horrible choices , but -- but he brought us together , Connie , and you are the best gift that I ve gotten in 20 years .
Olivia : And we ve got so much baggage , all right ? And I realize now I m -- I really must ve underestimated you , you know . Because you -- you really got to have some kind of -- some kind of scary inner strength to have spent all that time with Sonny and -- and never even been tempted to tell him the truth . That s unless -- unless you re even more terrified that he d find out .
Jason : With all due respect , you re not in any condition to make this call . You re too emotional . You know how dangerous that can be .
Sonny : You gearing up to do nothing ?
Jason : Look , I m -- I need to know the truth --
Sonny : You gearing up to do nothing ?
Jason : I need to know the truth before I do it . What -- what do you got ?
Spinelli : Analysis has proven that the recovered shell casing is from a bullet manufactured in Russia and fired from a Russian rifle .
Sonny : There s your truth . He shot Kate . Kill him !
Ric : Are you really as unaffected as you seem to be about being discovered ?
Anthony : Somebody was bound to find out sooner or later . I always suspected it would be you . You re an impressive young man , Ric , despite what your father says .
Ric : Well , do nt -- do nt take offense at this , Anthony , but I ve got to ask you a question . Are you off your meds ?
Ric : I mean , what possible reason could you have for -- for wanting to shoot Kate ? What s the benefit ?
Anthony : Sit down , kid . I m going to take you to school .
Ric : All right , clearly , I must be missing something here .
Anthony : You see , things are nt always what they seem . Sometimes , they re simpler . I used the Russian rifle to shoot Kate and a Russian bullet . By now , Jason or Sonny or one of their goons stumbled on the shell casing I so thoughtfully left behind . Now , these men are not masters of great subtlety . They re going to jump at the most obvious - looking conclusion .
Ric : Karpov .
Anthony : Proceed to the head of the class . And what would be Karpov s motive for shooting up Sonny s wedding ?
Ric : Sonny made a deal with Karpov . Sonny backed out of the deal and made Karpov look weak .
Anthony : Precisely . It s that kind of clunky , bone - headed logic that Corinthos and his ilk easily grasp . Two plus two equals four . There s no room for variation . There s no margin for human foible or error . It s lazy thinking , but who am I to complain ? Nine times out of ten , it works for me . Now , we have Sonny . Everybody knows the man is not capable of a rational thought when his emotions are involved . That s always been Sonny s fatal flaw . So true to form , he ll fly off the handle and demand Karpov s head . On the other hand , we have Jason . He is not burdened by an emotional life . He s all steel and logic , and he s learning how to react like a boss . He ll think , why bring on a war over a matter that is personal to a man who s no longer even in their business ? Sonny does nt have the manpower to take Karpov on his own , so he s going to have to weigh his options .
Ric : The best one being you .
Anthony : Bingo . Sonny will come to me hat in hand and beg me to give him shelter from the storm .
Ric : Anthony , I , uh , I do nt mean to spoil your little fantasy , but I do nt see that happening .
Anthony : Please , do nt rain on my harmless little fantasy . All right , so I ll go to him . Either way , I get what I want .
Ric : Partnership ?
Anthony : And that s the first step toward taking Jason Morgan out of the picture for good .
Jax : Hey , you know what ? Do me a favor and go drink somewhere else , because we ve seen enough violence for one night .
Johnny : Okay , if you re going to throw me out , take your best shot , but I do nt take too well to orders .
Jax : Well , this is my territory , Johnny , so what I say goes .
Johnny : Lulu ?
Lulu : I need to see you .
Johnny : I do nt think that s a very good idea .
Lulu : You have to come now . Somebody knows that I killed Logan .
Mercedes : I should ve turned off the news as soon as I heard Sonny s name .
Carly : Stop beating yourself up . You did exactly what I wanted you to do . He was worried , and you brought him to me . It s okay .
Mercedes : I ll go run Morgan s bath then .
Carly : Thanks .
Carly : Want to have a talk ?
Morgan : Okay .
Carly : Okay . Jax is right . There are things that happen that you should nt even try to understand , but I think today may answer some of your questions about why you do nt spend time with your father . I know you ve been struggling with that . See , your daddy used to work with some dangerous people , and , um , well , he made some enemies . And sometimes those enemies want to try and hurt your father , and somebody else gets hurt instead .
Morgan : Like Michael ?
Carly : Like Michael . And like Kate . See , honey , that s why your daddy and I decided that -- well , that your daddy should nt spend time with you . Not because he does nt want to spend time with you and not because he does nt love you , because he does . But he does this because he wants to keep you safe , so what happened to Michael and what happened to Kate will never , ever happen to you . God , I wish just that your life did nt have to be so stressful and crazy . I wish that -- well , I wish that your life did nt have so much mystery and fear in it . You should nt have to wrap your precious little mind around violence and guns , and you should nt have to be afraid of losing someone you love so horribly . Okay . Well , you know what ? I guess we have to make the best of it , huh ? Yeah . Can I have a hug ?
Spinelli : Even in the face of such incriminating evidence , Stone Cold still doubts that the fashionista was shot by Karpov or on his orders ?
Jason : Whoa , whoa , hold on . Anyone with money can buy a Russian gun .
Monica : Kate s vitals are still too unstable to operate .
Olivia : But she needs the surgery .
Monica : And she ll get it , just as soon as she s strong enough .
Sonny : I want Patrick Drake .
Monica : We are trying to locate him . Excuse me .
Olivia : Who s Patrick Drake ?
Sonny : Best neurosurgeon in town . I do nt want Kate to come out of this paralyzed .
Olivia : Paralyzed ? Sonny , wake up . She s going to be lucky if she s paralyzed . At least she d be alive .
Jason : Elizabeth .
Elizabeth : Jason .
Jason : I m so sorry .
Elizabeth : Are you okay ?
Jason : Yeah , no , I m fine .
Elizabeth : I was so afraid that something happened .
Jason : Something did . Kate got shot . I m at the hospital right now . I just -- I am so sorry I did nt make the flight and I --
Sonny : You re a dead man !
Ric : You know , I ve got to hand it to you , Anthony . You re a sly old bastard .
Anthony : I keep telling you people that .
Ric : Well , please , do nt stop now . Go on . Come on , tell me how this convoluted path leads to Jason s death .
Anthony : Are you raising an objection , Counselor ?
Ric : Oh , no .
Anthony : Oh , why am I not surprised ? Jason Morgan is not high on your list , is he ?
Ric : No , I loathe the man .
Anthony : Good . Maybe we can use that sometime . Okay . Now , we ve got Sonny demanding Karpov s death . Jason refuses . Sonny spirals over to the Zacchara side . And that s when I start on him . And believe me , I know how .
Ric : Oh , I do nt doubt it .
Anthony : Yeah , I ll hit him with Jason s betrayal , commiserate about the ingratitude of people he raised up from nothing , people that he put into power . And about how that kind of behavior is an abomination . It s a slap in the face to the old days , when honor and loyalty and respect and a man s word meant something , and how can we let this kind of insubordination go unchecked ? Because , my God , it invites chaos , and yada , yada , yada . And the bottom line is Sonny comes to the realization that he has to take Jason out . And once he s there , it ll be clear sailing because Jason wo nt fight back . He ll die at his own mentor s hands , and the organization , the Corinthos organization reverts back to Sonny . And then one day , when he s walking around , feeling all s right in his world , bang ! Lights out . I take it all . So , you tell me , my eager young pupil , what is the beauty of this plan ?
Ric : You come out the winner ?
Anthony : Its simplicity . It all turns on the utterly predictable -- Jason s stupid , blind loyalty and Sonny s stupid , blind pride .
Lulu : Okay , we thought that nobody would believe me when I said that I killed Logan . But we re wrong , somebody does , and they want to make me pay .
Johnny : Whoa , whoa , slow down . Start from the beginning , come on .
Lulu : The beginning . Okay , so Tracy , she came in after you ran off , and I said whatever she wanted to hear to make her leave , and then the orderly brought me food and she finally left . I opened the lid and there was a note .
Johnny : What did it say ?
Lulu : You killed Logan . You should pay .
Johnny : Where s the note now , huh ?
Lulu : That s the thing -- I went after the orderly who brought it to me , then I asked him if he wrote it . He denied it . I m not even sure if I believe him , but that s what he said , and I do nt even know what I was going to do with it . I came back in here . I maybe would ve shown it to Lainey or something . But it does nt matter because the note is gone . Oh , my God , you do nt believe me .
Anthony : I always knew the way to destroy Corinthos was to turn him against his own enforcer . I just could never find the right -- the right leverage to push him over to our side .
Trevor : I just got word that Kate Howard was shot . Probably by Andrei Karpov .
Anthony : Ric was there . He s been filling me in .
Trevor : I tried to warn Katie that Sonny Corinthos was a disaster , borderline suicidal . What kind of an idiot , huh , runs an organization for decades and then thinks that he can walk away clean ? What kind of a fool makes a deal with a heavy hitter like Karpov and then welches on it within weeks ? It s as if he put the gun in Karpov s hand and pointed it right at Kate .
Claudia : Karpov did nt do it . I just had a meeting with him .
Ric : You did what ?
Claudia : I had a meeting with him . I warned him that he needed to get out of town before all hell breaks loose . He did nt know what I was talking about . I told him Kate was shot . He seemed genuinely thrown .
Anthony : That s so touching . After all the lessons you should have learned at my feet . After all the experience of being a Zacchara daughter , the fact that you can still harbor such naive illusions really warms a father s heart .
Carly : Hey .
Jax : Hey .
Carly : I did nt expect to see you . Not that I m complaining . Yeah . Come in .
Jax : Thanks . As soon as you left the hotel , I , uh , I just knew that I could nt let you go . Because the people closest to Sonny that are left standing are you and Morgan . I do nt think you re safe here .
Carly : We re fine . We are . I mean , Jason has guards out there . You can see it all through the window .
Jax : Oh , come on , Carly . Mob security is an oxymoron . I want to keep you safe .
Olivia : What the hell is wrong with you people ?
Jason : Hey , hey , let -- let go .
Olivia : You think this is a fricking playground ? My cousin is fighting for her life in there ! Why do nt you show her freaking respect ?
Karpov : I came only to offer condolences .
Olivia : Who the hell are you ?
Karpov : A friend .
Jason : Can you please go back in with Kate ? I m going to take care of this .
Karpov : I m going to overlook what just happened . You re upset over Miss Howard s shooting . I assure you I had nothing to do with it .
Sonny : Liar .
Karpov : May I remind you , there s a truce in place between us . I have not made any hostile moves against you . I expect you not to make any hostile moves against me .
Spinelli : With the master s permission , perhaps the Jackal could trace the comrade s movements tonight , ascertain whether he s telling the truth ?
Jason : Good idea . Meet me at the nurses station . You re just proving my point .
Sonny : That s just Karpov s plan . Bluffing his way through this . Deny , deny , deny . We ll let him do it . Let him think it s working . We re going to come up with an airtight plan here , get some alibis , right ? A plan that will not fail . And then we will wipe that bastard off the face of the earth .
Lulu : Why are you looking at me like that ? Say something .
Johnny : Honestly , Lulu , I do nt know what to say .
Lulu : Well , how about that you believe me ? Or that we have an understanding . There was a note , and whoever wrote it can get to me at any time . What if next time , there s a knife in my gut ?
Johnny : Lulu , nobody is going to try and kill you .
Lulu : We do nt know that . Can we at least agree that whoever wrote it does not wish me well ?
Johnny : Who would do that ? Nobody bought your confession . If they did , you would be in prison .
Lulu : I am in prison .
Johnny : What are you talking about ? This place or up here ?
Lulu : I do nt know , both .
Johnny : Okay . So maybe this note was just a product of what s going on .
Lulu : What are you saying ?
Johnny : I m saying maybe you re doing this to yourself .
Jax : I booked the Windward suite for the foreseeable future .
Carly : You want us to move into the hotel ? You think that s necessary ?
Jax : Carly , I watched -- I watched Kate get shot today for the same reason that Michael did . Because she was standing next to Sonny . I m not going to line you and Morgan up to be next . I mean , the Metro Court -- it makes sense . It s got the state - of - the - art security system , it s public , and I ll be able to keep an eye on you .
Carly : I m just not sure I want to leave my house , you know ?
Jax : Yeah , yeah , I mean , I understand that . It s just , you know , why take an unnecessary risk here ?
Carly : I m not , I m just , you know , having a hard time making the adjustment .
Jax : Well , we ll work on it . Okay ? You re staying at the hotel .
Ric : You know , you took a huge risk going after Karpov on your own . If I d have known where you were going , I would ve stopped you .
Claudia : You would ve tried . Which is why I did nt tell you where I was going . The point is , guys , I saw the man s face . He had nothing to do with Kate Howard getting shot .
Trevor : Because Karpov s contract was on Sonny . And his incompetent shooter probably missed , and poor deluded Kate took the bullet for him because she made a decision to marry Sonny .
Ric : Dad , come on , I think you re jumping the gun a little bit here . Kate s not even dead yet .
Trevor : That s a stupid pun , and it s not funny . Kate has been shot twice because of that animal . And her luck is starting to run out .
Claudia : Well , hey , whether or not Kate dies or she goes screaming for the hills when she recovers , the point is Sonny was never a match with Kate . She s weak .
Trevor : You spiteful bitch . Do nt even taint her name by opening up your mouth .
Ric : Hey , hey , hey ! I get that you re upset . But okay , drink it off . Do nt take it out on Claudia .
Trevor : Richard ! You got into bed with that viper . She s going to suck you dry .
Mac : Well , how convenient . All the Zaccharas in one place . That ll make our job a lot easier .
Harper : We have some questions about Kate Howard s shooting .
Olivia : I see my cousin for the first time in twenty years , and all I can think of to do is fight ? You know , I forgot to tell you about how many times I d turn a corner in the old neighborhood , and I -- like -- like I saw you there . Frozen in time , you know ? In your catholic school uniform . You were always so sophisticated , even back then . I forgot to tell you just how much I admired you . I could just never make the words come out .
Olivia : I forgot to tell you how -- how desperately I missed you . I -- Connie , I know , we were about as different as two girls could ever be . That is a fact . But you were like my sister . You know , you were like -- you were like a part of me . And as mad as I was at you for walking away from your family , I was -- I was so proud of you and so happy when you made your dreams come true . You conquered the world , Connie . You did . So why would you risk that all to get involved with Sonny again ?
Sonny : Are you gon na just stand there ? I asked you a favor . You re going to turn me down ?
Jason : Sonny , I do nt have a choice right now .
Sonny : You have a choice .
Jason : What do you want me to do ? You want me to start killing people ?
Sonny : She s dying in there . It s retaliation .
Lulu : Please , do nt do this . I really ca nt take it . You have been the only solid thing in my life . If you stop believing in me , I m going to lose it . I will not exist .
Johnny : Okay , Lulu , first of all , I will never stop believing in you . But what you keep saying ? That you re going to slip away ? It just proves that you re sick , and you re getting sicker , and it s because of what I did .
Lulu : No , it is nt , not because of what -- it s because of what I did . I killed Logan , and the guilt was messing with my head . And I have moved past it , and I have had my mom there to help me .
Johnny : Yeah , I met your mother today .
Lulu : You met -- you met my mother ?
Johnny : Tracy took me to her room . She ca nt move , Lulu . She ca nt speak .
Lulu : I know , I know , but she came back because I needed her , and she was there with me , all throughout your trial .
Johnny : Because you made her up .
Lulu : So what ? So what ? What does it matter if she was helping me get better ?
Johnny : You re not better . You re worse .
Lulu : You think that because of the note . And the note is real . It is real . Where s the note ?
Johnny : You know what ? If the note is real , Lulu , then you wrote it to yourself .
Marty : The suite has been set up according to your specifications , Mr. Jacks .
Jax : Including the additional security ?
Marty : Yes , Sir .
Jax : Thank you .
Marty : It s good to have you with us , and do nt hesitate to call if you need anything .
Carly : Thanks , Marty . I appreciate it .
Jax : Come on , buddy . Let s go . Come on .
Morgan : How long do we have to stay here ?
Jax : How long do we have to stay here ? Well , I do nt know . That s a good question . I guess we re going to have to figure that out as we go along . What s important is that you and your mom are where I can keep a closer eye on you . Okay ?
Morgan : Okay .
Jax : All right , let s go . Come on .
Anthony : What can we do for you , Commissioner ?
Mac : You can start by telling me where you were at 6 : 00 this evening .
Anthony : Right here , in my trusty wheelchair , admiring the sun setting behind my roses . Do you garden , Commissioner ? It s true what they say . There s no more relaxing way to while away an afternoon .
Mac : Who knew the Zaccharas had such poetic souls ?
Claudia : Well , you know , on Sundays , we actually listen to chamber music , so you re welcome to join us .
Anthony : How is Miss Howard ? I hope she ll recover .
Mac : What s your relationship with Sonny Corinthos these days ?
Anthony : Corinthos is irrelevant to me . His wife - to - be even more so . I did nt shoot her , if that s what you re getting at .
Mac : Well , maybe the shooter you sent sucked at his job .
Anthony : Look , I m an old man in a wheelchair . I m staring my golden years dead in the eye . I just spent a miserable summer under constant worry that my only son would wind up either dead or in prison for the rest of his life . All I want now is peace . Hey , genius , should nt you be raising an objection ?
Trevor : Gentlemen , you re wasting your time . You should be questioning a man by the name of Andrei Karpov .
Mac : A new player in town ? Russian ?
Trevor : Yeah .
Mac : You want to come down to the station , give us some more information ?
Trevor : Absolutely .
Mac : If I need to be in touch with you , I will .
Anthony : Trevor really has a thing for Kate . He could nt wait to cooperate with cops .
Claudia : Yeah , I think it s a total waste of resources , time , everything .
Anthony : Since when do you care about squandered city resources ?
Claudia : Karpov s not their guy . That s all I m saying . He did nt shoot Kate .
Ric : I disagree . I think Karpov is guilty as sin . I m sure Sonny will see it the same way .
Olivia : You were so against me going out with Sonny . You know , and you would just go on and on , in that annoying , imperious way you had about how I had to get away from him before it was too late . But it was already too late , I guess . But then Sonny flipped the script , did nt he ? He dumped me . And he went after you . And I said you know what ? That s fine , you jerk . Go beat your stupid head against that wall for a while . You know what ? No one could believe it . When you started running around with a boy , you started ditching school and hanging out with him instead of getting straight as and going after all your big dreams . And you know what ? I blame Sonny for this . But I blame myself , too . Because -- because if I would ve just told him the truth all those years ago -- even a couple days ago , when he came to Bensonhurst , if I would ve just told him the truth , you would nt be laying here right now .
Sonny : You re so big and important now , running the organization that I gave you , that you re too busy to care that the woman that I love is dying in there , Jason .
Jason : Of course , I care . And my loyalty is unquestioned , and you know that . What do you want me to do ? You gave me this business . You wanted me to be the boss . I have to act like a boss . I ca nt just fly off the handle and endanger the lives of the people who depend on me . My men , their families --
Sonny : Then you re a coward ! And a traitor ! Get out of here .
Lulu : Do nt accuse me of that , it is not fair . I did nt -- I could not write myself a threatening note and not remember .
Johnny : Okay , Lulu , that s the thing . I do nt think you know what you re capable of . Because you are sick . And your mind is crying out for help . It has been for months . It s what made you see Logan long after he was dead and buried . It s what allowed you to have long , helpful conversations with your catatonic mother , but it needs to stop . You need to get the help that you deserve , and I wish it were different , but I ca nt give that to you .
Lulu : No , Johnny , Johnny , no . Please , Johnny .
Johnny : It s for the best .
Lulu : No , it s not !
Johnny : Lulu , everything I do makes you worse . Okay ? From taking the blame for Logan s death to dragging you out on the run with me to sneaking you out of this place earlier on to taking you to your boss s wedding . And you watched her get shot . I am the worst thing that could happen --
Lulu : No , you re not ; you re not the worst thing . You re -- I m fine , I am not crazy , okay ? I am better , I m getting better . I promise you , I m going to work so hard at it . Just please , please , please
Doctor : What s going on here ?
Johnny : She does nt want me to leave . It s okay .
Doctor : You need to calm down .
Lulu : No , you leave me alone . Just tell me -- tell me
Doctor : Restrain her .
Lulu : That I m not crazy , I m not crazy . Oh , believe me .
Doctor : Take her to isolation .
Lulu : No , let me go ! No ! Johnny , I m not crazy !
Carly : Thanks for sticking around for Morgan s bedtime story .
Jax : Are you kidding ? Sometimes I think I enjoy the stories more than he does .
Carly : You were my hero tonight .
Jax : Nah .
Carly : Not because you shielded me from a bullet , or swooped in and whisked me and my little boy off to safety . You re my hero because you showed me , beyond any doubt , that you still love me .
Spinelli : Will Stone Cold be issuing the order for retaliatory action against comrade Karpov ?
Jason : I do nt want you worrying about that stuff .
Spinelli : It is the world I live in .
Jason : I m not going to go to war because Sonny s not thinking clearly , all right ? Too many people stand to lose . What happened to Kate is awful . But it s just another reminder why I ca nt
Anthony : You agree with your old dad , do nt you , that Ric is a bright guy ?
Claudia : Ric is brilliant .
Anthony : After all , he got John acquitted .
Ric : Yeah , well , with an able assist from Claudia .
Anthony : Well , I m impressed with my little girl as well .
Claudia : Thank you , Daddy .
Anthony : But this Kate Howard matter , it s -- it s unfortunate . And it complicates things .
Claudia : Well , how so ?
Anthony : Well , you know how Sonny is . He s faced with a personal crisis and lashes out at all potential suspects . Unfortunately , our front door is going to be one of the first places Sonny goes .
Ric : Especially if Jason refuses to retaliate on his behalf .
Anthony : Which he will .
Claudia : What s --
Anthony : I want you to go see him .
Claudia : Jason ?
Anthony : Sonny . Represent our family . Reassure him we had nothing to do with Kate s shooting , and offer him our sympathy and our assistance . Whatever it takes to comfort the poor man in his time of grief .
Sonny : I d like some time with her .
Olivia : First , you get some time with me .
Sonny : No , no , no . Do nt get in my face , Olivia .
Olivia : You want in your face ?
Sonny : Do nt do it , do nt do it .
Olivia : You want in your face , huh ? My cousin is fighting for her life in there because you are a liar .
Sonny : What do you mean , I m a liar ? What are you talking about ?
Olivia : Because you told me you were out of the mob . You told Connie the same lie , and you made her bet her life on it .
Sonny : I did get out of the mob . I did not lie .
Olivia : Yeah ?
Sonny : Yeah .
Olivia : Well , why do nt you tell her that ? Tell your fiancée that if she s lucky enough to live through this . What happened to you , Sonny ? Huh ? You used to at least be honest . Okay , you used to at least know when you did wrong , and you would own it . And now you re just standing here , with these feeble excuses and justifications . I want to hear you take responsibility for what you did . I want to hear you say the words , I did this .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Steffy : I know quinn has nt been overly friendly with any of the logan sisters , but an all - out war ? With brooke ?
Ridge : It s , um ...
Steffy : Dad ? What s going on ?
Ridge : You know , there s some things that happened between , uh , shauna and me , and brooke thinks that quinn was encouraging it .
Steffy : Do I really wanna know ? Why do I have a bad feeling about this ?
Ridge : It s not -- it s not ... bad . It s just shauna and I , we-- we kissed more than once .
Brooke : I guess you did nt learn anything about my influence over eric . I wanted shauna gone . You wanted her here . But guess what . She s gone . History is very important , quinn , and eric and i share a ton of it .
Quinn : You are right . It is important . What s that saying about it ? Uh ... we have to learn from history so we do nt repeat it .
Brooke : So you think you re learning something from shauna s ousting . You do nt think you re gon na have to pack your bags and leave . Well , you will have to . You re the next to go , and you have yourself to blame .
Dr. Pappas : It sounds like you ve been under a considerable amount of stress .
Sally : That s putting it mildly . It s probably all this is , right ? Stress causing my hands to shake .
Dr. Pappas : Could be . Yes . These dizzy spells you re talking about-- how often are they coming on ?
Sally : Um , a few times a day . But they re getting more frequent . What do you think is wrong ?
Dr. Pappas : Well , let s run a few tests and see what we can find out .
Katie : Hey .
Wyatt : Hey .
Katie : Have you seen bill ?
Wyatt : Uh , he s -- he s , uh , at a meeting somewhere in the valley .
Katie : Oh , great . I ca nt wait to hear about traffic .
Wyatt : Yeah . I should just send it . I m gon na send him a text .
Katie : To who ?
Wyatt : Uh , to sally .
Katie : Why would you be debating sending a text to sally ?
Wyatt : Well , uh , it , uh , did nt go over well when I told her about flo .
Katie : Wait a second . Did my little gathering help ?
Wyatt : Yeah . I think it s safe to say that flo and i are back together or at least working towards it .
Katie : Oh , I m so glad . Breaking up with sally probably was nt easy , though , right ?
Wyatt : No . No , it wasnT. Um , actually , I m - I m kinda worried about her . I m worried about how sally s taking it .
Katie : Sally s a big girl . I do nt see her as the type of person that would let a breakup send her into a depression .
Wyatt : Yeah , well , you re assuming that she s accepting the breakup . It s not the case .
Katie : Oh . Yikes .
Wyatt : Yeah . Hence my concern . I -- I care about sally so much . I just -- I hate that I m the one that s hurting her . You know ? I was just -- I do nt know . I m hoping for a response , or maybe I do nt deserve one . I do nt know . I just ... I hope she s -- I hope she s doing okay .
Dr. Pappas : Need to make a phone call ? It s fine .
Sally : No . Uh , no . It s just A ... text from ... a friend . So , what do we do ? How do we figure this out ?
Dr. Pappas : Well , I d like to approach this one step at a time . So step one is drawing blood . Maybe that will tell us what we need to know .
Steffy : You ve been kissing shauna ?
Ridge : Couple of times . Yes .
Steffy : Do I have to remind you what that woman and her daughter did to me ?
Ridge : No , you donT.
Steffy : Do I have to remind you that you re still technically married ?
Ridge : You do nt have & to remind me of anything . I know , and brooke and I , we re trying to figure it out . She s pretty hurt .
Steffy : Yeah , I bet . I m guessing she tore into shauna .
Ridge : Not just shauna . She thinks quinn is to blame for most of it .
Quinn : You know , I should record all of the terrible things you say about me so I could play them back for eric .
Brooke : Fine , quinn . Do it . Please . I would like eric to see how fiercely I defend him and how much I wanna protect him , especially from a black widow like you . I will get eric to see the kind of person you really are . Your days are numbered as mrs . Eric forrester .
Wyatt : I know it sounds cliché , but I still
Wyatt : I know it sounds cliché , but I still wanna be friends with sally . I do nt wanna lose her completely from my life .
Katie : She s not gon na let that happen .
Wyatt : I do nt know . She was really upset , katie .
Katie : Well , the hurt is nt gon na go away overnight . You have to accept that . But nothing keeps sally spectra down for long . That girl s a survivor .
Dr. Pappas : Hang tight , okay ? Since we had to squeeze you into the schedule , I have a few patients ahead of you . It might take a while before I get someone to draw your blood .
Sally : Okay . Thank you .
Ridge : I knew brooke was going to be upset . I just did nt figure out how upset she would be . And how do I not know that ? Quinn and brooke , they never get along .
Steffy : Honestly , is there anyone who has always gotten along with quinn ? I ve certainly had issues with her in the past .
Ridge : We ve all had . In the past . That s the key word , right ? We have nt done battle with her in a long time .
Steffy : Yeah , because she s changed . Being with granddad softened her , I guess . Or so it appears .
Ridge : She s never gon na be unicorns and ... butterflies and balloons and stuff , right ? But at least she s not gon na be the cold , calculated woman she was when we met her .
Steffy : Depends on your perspective . According to brooke , quinn has nt changed .
Quinn : I m not trying to orchestrate a plot to undermine your marriage . Why would I ? When you re so good at destroying your marriages on your own . The only marriage that s being undermined right now is mine , by you , and I wo nt have it . Eric is happy . Just let us be .
Brooke : No . I was looking the other way for way too long . I thought maybe you were better . Maybe you d changed . But you know what ? People do nt change . They just get better at hiding who they really are .
Quinn : I m sorry . Are you still a drunken mess ? Are you -- are you drowning your sorrows in a bottle ?
Brooke : You know I do nt drink anymore , quinn .
Quinn : Oh , there you go . Proof . People change . People grow . I certainly have . You have to let go of this fantasy that I m this evil genius trying to keep ridge away from you .
Brooke : Genius , no . But evil , yes . And I m gon na make sure that eric sees that .
Quinn : Wh - what happens if you do , okay ? We re still going to be in each other s lives even if you re able to get eric to leave me . Our families are so intertwined , brooke , especially now that my son is back together with your niece .
Brooke : Wyatt is seeing flo again ?
Quinn : Yes .
Brooke : Oh , god . That s a mistake .
Quinn : Why would you say that ? Flo is great for him .
Brooke : No , she s not actually . And she s no longer a part of my life . Yes , she is my niece , but we do nt have a relationship , not anymore .
Quinn : She gave your sister a kidney .
Brooke : That does nt absolve her . And I wish she was nt here in los angeles . She should go back to the desert with her mother where they belong . And I do nt understand why wyatt is nt angry with her after what she did to his brother .
Quinn : Because he forgave her just like katie did . And I do nt want you going over to him and trying to talk to him about this . It s bad enough you re interfering in my marriage . I do nt want you interfering in his relationship .
Brooke : I m interfering in your marriage because I care about eric .
Quinn : He s clearly happy being married to me . He s told you that . I ve told you that . You-- you have to drop this ridiculous crusade . Look , brooke , you do nt have to like me , you know . We can go back to just faking it , okay ? We can just exchange pleasantries at the office , at family gatherings like we always have . It s what eric needs . It s what this family needs .
Brooke : And what if I ca nt ?
Quinn : Then you ll regret it . Go up against me , and you will lose .
Wyatt : Let me guess . Dad complaining about the traffic ?
Katie : No . Just a reminder about an appointment I got to get to .
Wyatt : Hmm .
Katie : I can reschedule if you need a friendly ear .
Wyatt : No . Um , I ve talked yours off long enough . Uh , and thank you for the support and for the push into forgiving flo . It s just this situation with sally is ...
Katie : But you had to do it .
Wyatt : I know . I did . It s just -- it s hard .
Katie : Do nt worry . Everything is gon na work out just fine , even for sally , okay ? You just got to trust that she s gon na be okay .
Brooke : Oh , so now you re threatening me again ?
Quinn : I m not threatening you . You come into my home and you attack me and you attack my marriage , and you expect me to say nothing ? I love my husband . I love this family , and I m gon na do everything I can to defend my place in it .
Brooke : That s just the problem . You do nt know your place in it . You had no right to send shauna after my husband .
Quinn : [ Laughs ]
Brooke : And do you really think eric wants his wife running around doing stuff like that ?
Quinn : Brooke , I feel so sorry for you . It s got ta be so hard knowing that your marriage is over . And it s got ta feel horrible knowing that ridge is enjoying the company of another woman so soon after moving out .
Brooke : Oh , god .
Quinn : But , you know , blaming me , it s a cop - out . Those are your mistakes . You took off your ring . You pushed ridge away , but you refused to take any responsibility for this . You wanna blame me . You wanna blame shauna . [ Sighs ] But it s gon na stop . I m warning you . I do nt want to fight with you , brooke . It s unnecessary . But I will . And if you do nt stop , I m going to get ridge and eric , everyone one else to take my side , and they will . I guarantee it .
Nurse : Sally ?
Sally : Hi .
Nurse : Just wanna let you know someone will be in soon , okay ?
Sally : Okay .
Nurse : Thanks for your patience . We re just a little backed up .
Sally : Yeah , of course .
Katie : Oh . Sally .
Sally : Katie .
Katie : Hi .
Nurse : I did nt realize you had someone waiting for you . You re welcome to stay . The magazines in the waiting room are so outdated .
Katie : No . I -- IM ... actually , do you have a minute ?
Sally : Uh , sure .
Katie : I , um -- I heard about you and wyatt , and I just wanted to say I m sorry .
Sally : Do nt be . Jury s still out on whether or not we re breaking up , so ...
Katie : Well , I was just with him , and he clearly cares about you a lot .
Sally : Cares about me enough to leave me , just like everyone else . Why are you here anyway ?
Katie : Are you kidding ? When am I not here for a checkup or a follow - up or something ? You re lucky that this is nt your home away from home like it is mine .
Sally : Yeah . Lucky me .
Katie : Um , why are you here ?
Sally : Just a checkup . Some people drown their sorrows when their fiancé tries dumping them , but I prefer physicals .
Katie : Okay . Well , I guess I can pretend to believe that . If there is something going on , sometimes it helps to talk about it .
Sally : That s just the thing . I do nt , uh , know what s actually going on with me . I -- I just feel like there s something wrong ... medically , and IM ... a little scared .
Katie : Well , then it s a good thing I walked by because if anyone knows about being scared in the hospital , it s me . Um , I m here . I mean , uh , I can-- I can stay if you want me to .
Steffy : I do nt think you have to worry . I m sure brooke will unleash a little , and quinn will put in a dig or two , but it wo nt get out of hand .
Ridge : I hope you re right . Brooke is going through so much right now . The last thing she needs is a war with quinn .
Brooke : You really think you could do anything to turn eric and ridge against me ? Oh , yes . You do , because you are quinn fuller . You manipulate till you get whatever the hell you want .
Quinn : I will admit that quinn fuller might have had a few momentarily lapses in judgment , but quinn forrester not so much .
Brooke : Well , but you re still quinn fuller . I can see it . You re as dangerous and devious as ever . And this little plot that you had with shauna ? That was you just dipping your toes into deception . And it felt good , did nt it ? So what do you wanna do next ? You wanna push me off a cliff ?
Quinn : Stop it , brooke .
Brooke : Or push me down the stairs . Or maybe you wanna lock me in a cabin .
Quinn : Just stop it , brooke .
Brooke : Why do nt you stop it ? Stop pretending that you belong here . Just embrace yourself , okay ? Embrace that manipulator inside of you . Let her out . You ll be free . You ll be happy . Just do it away from me and away from the people that I love .
Quinn : Wow . Gee . Brooke , uh , it - it looks like you have better things to do than stand in the middle of my living room and berate me , so ... if you wanna go , I m not gon na stop you .
Brooke : Well , actually , the most important thing to me right now is exposing you to eric . He will see who you are , and he will kick you out just like he did shauna .
Quinn : Well , thank you for that sobering warning . I think I m gon na ... hold off on the packing .
Brooke : Yeah ? You sure about that ? You really think you can keep that devious person inside of you , not let her show ? I have to tell you , she is coming out . Once a raging bitch , always a raging bitch . And I m gon na make sure that eric sees it . <

Sidney : Mommy !
Sami : I wish I could help you , Taylor , I do .
Taylor : You are covering for your husband .
Sami : I m not covering for Rafe . He did nt steal your mother s cameo , okay ? I understand that you think--
Taylor : Okay , you know what ? I was not born yesterday , Sami . Rafe stole my mother s cameo , which is really heinous , and you re helping him hide the truth .
Sami : I wish I could explain everything to you , but I ca nt .
Taylor : Oh , my god , I thought we were friendly .
Sami : We are .
Taylor : Okay , well , as a friend , I do nt really understand . Tell me , when did you decide to forgive and forget with your psycho husband ?
Sami : Do nt talk about him like that .
Taylor : Okay . This -- it s nuts .
Sami : What are you doing ?
Taylor : I m calling the police .
Rafe : This ... this is proof . You stole it from the poor woman , and then you killed her . We know it s true . There s no way out of this .
Javier : Yeah . You got it all figured out , do nt you ?
Rafe : Yeah ... I sure as hell do . You pushed her down the stairs . Then you finished her off at the hospital . You re done , man . And all because you wanted blood money from the DiMeras to--
Javier : What do you want from me ?
Rafe : Oh , I just want you to confirm what I already know about Stefano and his son . Now , either you do that ... or I take you to the P.D. With a bow . And I do nt think you have a chance with them , cause , uh , they like me . They are not gon na like you .

Sami : You ca nt prove that .
Taylor : Oh , my god , is this where we re going with it now ?
Sami : Look , I understand that you lost your mom , and you are upset . Of course you are , but--
Taylor : Okay , listen to me . That cameo has been in my family for three generations . I used to play with it as a kid . I damaged it . It has a scratch on the back . I looked and the scratch is there , okay ? And I already told you , my mother had a secret about Rafe that she could not explain because she died . Now that the hell do you think that secret was if it was nt that he stole her cameo ? Give me the phone . Give me the phone , Sami , or I m walking out of here and I m going to the police . Bye .
Sami : Wait ! Please .
Dario : So was that a prom to remember or what ?
Gabi : Forever .
Will : Yeah , it was for me too . Uh , listen , I got ta go , but I ll be back in a little while , okay ?
Gabi : Sure .
Will : Thank you for helping me pull this off .
Dario : Yeah , no problem .
Gabi : You know what , you guys surprising me like that , it made getting my appendix out much more fun .
Dario : Well , yeah , that was kind of the point .
Gabi : Will you thank Melanie for me ... again , next time you see her ?
Dario : Well , unless you see her first , yeah , yeah , sure .
Gabi : Well , you re probably gon na see her before me .
Dario : Okay , uh , we re meeting up later tonight .
Gabi : I knew it .
Dario : You did not .
Gabi : I did , and -- and-- where you guys going ? Someplace cool ?
Dario : Yeah , Brady pub for a burger ... so cool .
Gabi : Come on , a date is a date . It does nt matter where it s at . I just finished having my prom in the hospital .
Dario : Gabi , it s not that big a deal .
Gabi : Can you just stop acting like you re embarrassed and shy about it ? Just admit that you re into her .
Dario : I - I m not embarrassed .
Gabi : Just say it .
Dario : Why ?
Gabi : Because it s gon na feel good , Dario .
Dario : Well , how do you know ?
Gabi : Just say it .
Dario : Okay , I m into her . I m -- I m into Melanie . [ Sighs ]
Brady : Melanie , do nt get involved -- turn around .
Melanie : I m not walking away from you .
Brady : This should have been done a long time ago .
Melanie : What , trying to kill EJ DiMera because of Nicole ?
Brady : This has nothing to--
Melanie : Then what the hell are you doing ?
Brady : Because he killed Arianna !
Dario : Wha ... I m only , like , five minutes late . Could she have left already ? Uh , hey , Mrs. Brady ...
Caroline : Yes ? Oh , hi .
Dario : Um , you did nt see Melanie here tonight , did you ?
Caroline : No . How is your sister ?
Dario : Oh , she s happy . She s happy , uh , we-- Melanie , will , and I , we did something to cheer her up .
Caroline : Oh , how sweet .
Dario : And Melanie and I , we were supposed to meet here after ... you did nt see her come in before me , did you ?
Caroline : No , no . I m sure she ll be here any minute . Can I get you something to drink before -- while you re waiting ?
Dario : Yeah , thanks . Anything s fine .
Caroline : Ice tea ?
Dario : Sure .
Caroline : Okay .
Brady : Melanie , get-- what are you doing ? Get out of here .
Melanie : Making sure you did nt kill him already . Can you hear me ? Let him go . Brady , let him go , let ... EJ , I m gon na take care of you , okay ? All right ?
Brady : I just -- I just told you that he s responsible for Arianna s death . Why are you helping him right now ?
Melanie : You re drunk . He did nt hit Arianna with his car !
Brady : No , he did nt . A guy named troy did , and troy worked for him ! Do I have your attention , Melanie ?
Melanie : Troy was on EJ s payroll ?
Brady : Yeah . Troy drove the car . But her blood is on his hands .
Melanie : So why did nt you call the police ?
Brady : You think I m gon na call the freakin police ?
Melanie : I know you Kiriakis men have this 19th century code of honor , which always gets you in trouble that you always seem to get out of , but that does nt mean you kill somebody for revenge ; you know that .
Brady : Sure , you can kill someone for revenge . And I would have if you had nt come by , all right ?
Melanie : He really did it ?
Brady : Yeah , Melanie , he really did it .
Melanie : Then he pays for it in court ... he goes to jail .
Brady : No . No , no , no , no . He did the same thing to me . Remember , over there ... you were the one that found me .
Melanie : I know , but that does nt mean you try and kill him , Brady . You know better than that .
Brady : No , here s what I know , here s what I know : Honey , I need you to leave , so I can finish him off !
Melanie : You are not going anywhere near him !
Brady : Get out of here ! Why not ? Why are you helping him out ?
Melanie : I m helping you , you jackass .
Bo : No , no , I m -- I m good . Happy to be home with you . Happy to have the house all to ourselves tonight .
Hope : Mm - hmm . And ...
Bo : What ? No and .
Hope : Brady ... 25 years , I know you . Fess up . What is it ?
Bo : [ Sighs ] Sami and Rafe , I just do nt get it .
Hope : I knew there was something .
Rafe : She was through with him , done trying to work things out with him , and then , for seemingly no reason , she does a 180 and gets back with him .
Hope : I know ... it happens .
Bo : Well ... yeah , yeah . It happens . But there s more .
Rafe : Said he s working on something and wo nt tell me exactly what it is .
Hope : That s not like him .
Bo : All he -- all he told me is that it involves the DiMeras .
Hope : Really ?
Bo : Yeah .
Hope : What do you think it is ?
Bo : Now you re into it , huh ?
Hope : You ca nt take the cop out of the girl .
Bo : Mm - hmm .
Hope : Do you think it has anything to do with Abigail s domestic disturbance call to the station ?
Bo : Okay , moratorium .
Hope : Okay . Which part ?
Bo : On any part where I m not focusing on you .
Hope : [ Giggles ] Well , uh , okay , now that , um ... I know that I m right and you were distracted ...
Bo : Yes .
Hope : We put it to bed .
Bo : Huh - uh - uh , not this bed . This bed is full .
Hope : Yeah , you got that right .
Bo : All I wanna think about is you .
Hope : No , us .
Bo : Yeah , us .
Sami : Taylor , I realize this is the last thing you wanna do right now , but I am asking you to trust me .
Taylor : Why should I ?
Sami : Because we re friends , like you said , right ? That has nt changed . Look , if you go to the police , you have no idea what you re doing .
Taylor : Why do nt you tell me what you know , then ?
Sami : I ca nt .
Taylor : Oh , my god . You know what ? Your slime ball husband has my dead mother s cameo , and you are acting like ... you know what ? [ Laughs ] I am not one to take anything that my sister has to say seriously right now , but she told me that you had not changed and you were still a liar and a schemer , and she is right .
Sami : Taylor , please .
Taylor : No , mm - mmm . This feels like more than just a coincidence or -- or a mistake . This feels really , really off . Why ?
Sami : All right . All right , I ll tell you . My cut hurt !
Gabi : [ Sighs ] You re back .
Will : Yeah , sorry I took so long .
Gabi : That s okay , I just ... thought you went to some prom after - party or something .
Will : Uh , no . No interest . My date is here .
Gabi : You re spoiling me .
Will : Good . You know ... [ Clears throat ] I love my computer photo program , do nt you ?
Gabi : Oh , my god , how did you do this ?
Will : Well , I got the background online . And then I just plugged in the best picture that Dario took of us .
Gabi : This is so awesome . It looks like we re actually there .
Will : Yeah . I mean , not that we needed to be . I thought our prom was a lot cooler .
Gabi : Yeah . Definitely . Except , um ...
Will : What ?
Gabi : Well , if I did nt have my appendix taken out , we d probably be leaving the prom and heading to the hotel now , just like you planned . That was the part of the night I was looking forward to the most . Were nt you ?
Melanie : Dario ?
Dario : Hey , I m -- I m at the pub ; are you okay ?
Melanie : Uh , I am , yes . Something happened .
Brady : You do nt have to help him ; he does nt even deserve you .
Dario : What -- is that Brady ?
Melanie : Yeah , uh , I ran into him , look , I--
Brady : Not him , Melanie .
Melanie : This is complicated . If you can just give me a second , I can--
Dario : Yeah , no , I-- I have better things to do too .
Melanie : Great . This is a disaster .
Mary : Mrs. DiMera .
Nicole : Oh , yes , Mary ?
Mary : I m due to take the children over to their mothers .
Nicole : Yes , of course . Of course . [ Gasps ] Guess what , Sidney ? You and Johnny are gon na go see your mom , okay ? But I just ... want you to know that I love you so much , and I always , always will . Okay , sweetie , you go ahead . Mary s gon na take you . Go on .
Mary : Come on , sweetie .
Taylor : I m waiting .
Sami : Have you ever loved someone who s flawed ? Someone ... you love so much . But no one sees them the way that you do . And you just hope that your love is enough to ... to change them . To make them be the person that you ve ... always known they could be .
Taylor : What is your point ?
Sami : The accident changed everything for Rafe . He changed before my very eyes . He was nt the man I loved . He was nt the man I trusted . Believe me , he was different ... on every level . And ... and he did things . And now Rafe is back . The real Rafe . And -- and I have to protect him . I ca nt let him punished for things he did nt do .
Taylor : Okay , you know , it seems really convenient , considering .
Sami : Convenient ?
Taylor : Yeah .
Sami : You have got to be kidding me , it was nt convenient , it was tragic . It was a nightmare for me . I ca nt even begin to tell you what I went through . But now , the man I love , the man I married ... the man I trust ... is back . And I m gon na do what I have to do to protect him . Look , there s obviously more to this story , and I can tell you all of it ... but not right now . But , yes , it explains how Rafe ended up with your mother s cameo . And I m just asking for more time . Taylor , can you please ... just give me more time before you go to the police ?
Rafe : So you give up Stefano and EJ , I ll give you anything you want .
Javier : And , what ? Supposed to take your word for it , huh ? Just like that ?
Rafe : You have any other options ?
Javier : Look ... buddy ... I wasted a lot of time learning everything that there is to know about you . And if there s one thing I know , you re a stick in the mud . You do everything by the book . So if you really had some sort of proof that I done something really bad ... you d never let me walk . Oh , and another thing ... you re not gon na off me , either . So what are my options ? Really ? What are they ? Well , uh , I figure I can either stay handcuffed to this frickin chair for the rest of my life , or you can send me to prison . [ Raspberry ] [ Laughs ] Who cares ?
Rafe : You underestimate me .
Javier : What the hell s that ?
Rafe : A Taser . Now , you give me straight answers , or you get this .
Javier : [ Scoffs ]
Melanie : So you proud of yourself , Brady ? You re drinking yourself into oblivion , and you re and you re beating people half to death . This is who you are now ?
Brady : I told you . He s responsible for Arianna s death . I could nt just stand by--
Melanie : Why did nt you call the cops ?
Brady : Look , Melanie , I did what I had to--
Melanie : Brady , you look ! Your family and the DiMeras have a very , very delicate truce in place . Anything could set that off . So you go and you try and kill Stefano s son ?
Brady : Well , you know what ? It looks like he s not gon na die now . So thanks for your help .
Melanie : Yeah , you re lucky I came here -- Brady ! Brady ! I ca nt just call the cops ! They ll come after you . Um ...
Dario : Yeah ?
Melanie : Dario , uh , it s Melanie . I need you to come to the pier .
Dario : What happened ?
Melanie : Uh , I ll explain it when you get here . Just please come . I need your help .
Dario : Well , is Brady with you ?
Melanie : No , he s not . I m alone . Please come .
Dario : Uh , okay . Okay . I ll be right there .
Will : Okay , Gabi ... you have to stop worrying about this .
Gabi : Well , it s a prom , and you re spending the time with your date in a hospital room .
Will : So what ? We had our own prom here , with a little help from Dario and Melanie . So it s all good .
Gabi : You re being so good about this .
Will : You expected less ?
Gabi : [ Sighs ] No ... but ... look , I really need to ask you--
Will : No , I do not want to go to any of the prom after - parties without you .
Gabi : Look , seriously ...
Will : Okay ... seriously .
Gabi : I know -- I know we ca nt be together tonight . Like you planned , like you set up and everything with the hotel .
Will : Yeah .
Gabi : But ... when I m not in here , you still do , right ? Wanna be with me ?
Will : Yes . You know I do .
Gabi : Really ?
Will : Really . Our ... [ Stutters ] Our first time , um , should be special .
Gabi : Yeah . Yeah , it should be special .
Will : Um , but actually ...
Gabi : What ?
Will : Gon na be a lot more than that .
Hope : [ Sighs ] We will have so much time together .
Bo : A lot to make up for , that s for sure .
Hope : Works for me .
Bo : Mmm . [ Chuckles ]
Bo : Agh .
Hope : You better get that .
Bo : No , I dont--
Hope : No , you have to get it . What if it s Ciara ? Please answer it .
Bo : Okay , okay , okay .
Hope : Oh , it s the station . Do nt answer .
Bo : Hey , tony , what s up ? Oh , you did ? Where ? No , no , no , that-- no , that s fine . I ll take it from here . Thanks , man . I put a tail on Rafe . Uh , off the books .
Hope : Really ? Why ?
Bo : Yeah , well ... Sami and Rafe , they were obviously up to something . I can -- I can feel it .
Hope : Where did they follow them to ?
Bo : Abandoned warehouse outside of town .
Hope : Alone ?
Bo : Yeah .
Hope : What in the world ?
Bo : Hmm . What in the world ?
Taylor : Fine . I wo nt go to the police about Rafe .
Sami : Thank you . Taylor , thank you .
Taylor : Yet . But I will have answers from you and your husband . By tomorrow , no later . And I want that cameo . My mother s cameo .
Javier : Really ? A Taser ? [ Laughing ] Ooh ! Do nt Tase me , man ! I m not giving you a thing .
Rafe : [ Sniffs ] You know , you can end up on death row if we turn you in .
Javier : Oh , oh , you think that that s keeping me up at night when my other option is a gangland killing , courtesy of the DiMera family ?
Rafe : Everything okay ?
Sami : No , Rafe , it s not . We have a real problem .
Nicole : Brady ? Oh , my god , what happened ? What happened ? Your -- your face is bloody . What , did -- did someone mug you ?
Brady : No . No . And , really , Nicole , you re the last person I want to see right now , all right ? Why do nt you just--
Nicole : All right , you should really have someone look at that . I think you need stitches .
Brady : I m fine . I m fine . I m fine -- why do nt you leave me alone , okay ?
Nicole : No , no , Brady , come-- that s not gon na happen .
Brady : I m not going to the hospital , so just let it go . I m not going .
Nicole : Fine ... but you re not driving , either , because you smell like a brewery . Come on . Please .
Bo : Rafe said he needed some time to work out whatever it was he was dealing with , and ... I just did nt have a good feeling about it .
Hope : Hmm . I think you want to go to the warehouse and see what s going on .
Bo : I do nt want to want that .
Hope : Mm - hmm . Give me five minutes .
Bo : Whoa , whoa , whoa .
Hope : No , seriously , I can be ready in five .
Bo : Ready for what ?
Hope : For what ? Brady , I m gon na go with you .
Bo : Uh ...
Abe : Hey ! Hey , Taylor . Hey , you know what ? We are going in for a milkshake , so let ... you all right ?
Taylor : Yeah , I m , um ... I ca nt talk about it , Abe .
Abe : Well , maybe you should . Why do nt you come in with us ? Come on , come on . It s gon na be our treat . Let s go , come on . Come on . Here you go . There you go , my man . Please .
Taylor : Okay .
Caroline : Well , well , well . [ Chuckles ] Hello , everybody . Hi . Well , I -- I -- I bet this guy is here for a milkshake .
Abe : He is , he is .
Caroline : Theo , you come with me , because I m going to show you the method that leads to the magic .
Abe : Thank you , Caroline . Please .... come on . [ Sighs ] Okay . What s wrong ?
Taylor : It s just ... it s about my mother .
Abe : I know this has to be a hard time for you .
Taylor : It is so much worse than you know , Abe .
Rafe : Sami ? Hey .
Sami : Yeah , I just tucked Johnny and Sidney in . Mary dropped em off .
Rafe : Is that what this is about ? Are the kids all right ?
Sami : No , no , it s not about them ; they re okay . Taylor came back again .
Rafe : Oh , no . The cameo ?
Sami : She was really upset . I had to practically tell her the truth to--
Rafe : You -- you--
Sami : No , I did nt have to tell her everything , but enough to make sure that she did nt call the police .
Rafe : Oh . I did nt get anything out of the creature either .
Sami : Are you serious ? He did nt give you a thing .
Rafe : No , nothin .
Sami : He killed Fay .
Rafe : I know , we just need to find out how to prove that , Sami -- that s it .
Sami : And once again , all of our pain , everything we are going through , all starts with EJ . Then I have to negotiate with that bastard to get to see my kids , it s -- makes me sick .
Rafe : Hey , listen ... least we have the kids now .
Sami : You re right . You re right . They re here now . I just ca nt get -- I ca nt get over it . No matter what we do , no matter what evidence we come up with , he s gon na find a way out of it . He s got lawyers and he s paid off judges . He gets away with everything . Every time . But this time , everyone is gon na know what he did , how he screwed with our lives . All the unbelievable things he has done . People are gon na know . And you know what ? Maybe we ca nt put him in jail , but we can ruin his life . Wound his heart , if he has one .
Rafe : Doubtful .
Melanie : EJ , stay with me , okay ? Please ? Can you hear me ?
Dario : What the hell ?
Melanie : Oh , thank god you re here .
Dario : What happened to this guy ? Did you find him this way ?
Melanie : Uh , you know what ? I think the less that you know , the better , probably .
Dario : Is that EJ DiMera ?
Melanie : I ca nt do this alone , Dario . Please -- hell die if you do nt help me .
Gabi : Okay , okay , you re ... you re right , um ... [ Giggles ] We ca nt do this here .
Will : [ Sighs ] I do nt ever want to hurt you .
Gabi : Hurt me ? What are you talking about ? I mean ... you do everything right .
Will : No , I do nt .
Gabi : [ Chuckles ] Look , do nt argue with me . You re the best thing that s ever happened to me .
Will : Okay .
Dario : So what do we do now ?
Melanie : Um , we got ta get him out of here .
Dario : Let me call an ambulance .
Melanie : No , do nt do that . Just help me get him to my car , and then I can do something .
Dario : You re a nurse , Melanie -- you re the first one to ask for help from the-- wait am minute . Brady was here before . Where s he now ?
Melanie : I do nt know .
Dario : Did he do this to EJ ?
Melanie : Does it matter ? Look at him -- he s in trouble .
Dario : You re risking everything to cover for Brady ? What if EJ dies on your watch ?
Nicole : Well , that was a barrel of laughs .
Brady : No one asked -- no one asked you to get me home . Oh ... shut up , Brady , okay ? Look , what happened to you ?
Brady : Do you really care ? Really ?
Nicole : Yes . What happens to you matters to me .
Brady : Should nt you be at home with an apron on making your husband dinner or something ?
Nicole : Like he would notice .
Brady : What ?
Nicole : No one s missing me right now .
Brady : Sidney misses you .
Nicole : Um ... she does nt really care where I am . Look , let s just drop it , okay ?
Brady : So wait -- Sidney loves you , and that s the only thing that s keeping me sane , knowing you re in that damn house .
Nicole : I m not her mother . And she knows that .
Brady : What s going on with you ? Why you talking like this ?
Nicole : Nothing . Nothing . Look , I just -- I -- Ive been trying really hard with both of those kids , but they re getting older . They know I m not their mom . Sami is . And you ca nt make someone love you .
Bo : Ah , ah , ah . Nice idea , but--
Hope : You need backup .
Bo : Yeah , well , maybe I do , but you re not the one--
Hope : I am , I am . You re worried about Rafe . That s why you put a tail on him . Consider me the tail on you so I do nt have to worry about you while you re gone .
Bo : [ Sighs ] I know better than to argue with you , but if you re going with me , I have to deputize you . I got a feeling ... things are gon na get intense .
Hope : Thank you !
Bo : You re impossible . You do know that , right ?
Hope : That s why you love me .
Bo : Oh , is that the reason ?
Hope : It s one of the many reasons . Well , do nt just sit there . Get dressed , let s go ! It s gon na be fun .
Bo : Fun ?
Brady : Look , I know you re against this . I know we ve talked about it , about bringing the police into this , but--
Sami : We ca nt ! Okay ? We ca nt . We do , and EJ s gon na take my kids and run . Please . Please ?
Rafe : Okay . All right , I hear you .
Sami : Oh , come on . Do nt be mad . Do nt be mad at me . I m sorry . I do nt mean to snap at you . It s just ... it s just frustrating , you know ? I think about what EJ s capable of , and ... look , I trust you . I trust you no matter what . You have to know that , even if I do get a little ... feisty sometimes .
Rafe : You ? Oh , no , never . No . No .
Sami : I love you .
Rafe : I love you too .
Sami : And I m never letting you go again .
Rafe : Ohh . I hear you on that . I do .
Sami : And look ... I believe in you . I know we are gon na be able to do this . We are gon na get what we need so we can nail EJ . His family , their life -- it s never gon na be the same .
Rafe : Okay . You re right . You re right . All right , first thing I need to do , I need to get in touch with the doctor who overlooked Fay s medical records . Maybe there was some sort of oversight there , a sign of foul play .
Sami : Okay . What about the ATM card ?
Rafe : Nah , I already checked with my guy at the F.B.I. There s no connection between the ATM card and the Ivanhoe corporation or the DiMeras in any way whatsoever .
Sami : Of course -- the DiMeras know how to cover their tracks . They re gon na make sure that we ca nt find out where the money came from .
Rafe : Yeah .
Sami : It s too bad we ca nt get the creature to , you know , crack .
Rafe : Yeah , well , I ve tried . So far , nothin . I got ta tell you , Sami , I feel like we re running out of time . If Taylor s already asking questions , it s not gon na be long before EJ starts to figure this thing out .
Sami : Well , I can tell you one thing : Taylor is on fire . She is not gon na give this up .
Rafe : Right .
Abe : I know you re hurting .
Taylor : My mother did nt have to die , Abe .
Abe : The doctor s did everything they could , Taylor .
Taylor : Yeah , I know . I promised I would nt go to the police yet .
Abe : What ? Police ?
Taylor : Yeah , I told Sami that I d wait . [ Sniffles ]
Abe : Sami ? What -- what ...
Taylor : Her husband is bad news , Abe . He was hitting on me , and then I saw my mother s cameo in his apartment , and I just lost it .
Abe : What would something of your mother s be doing there ?
Taylor : He stole it .
Abe : What ?
Taylor : Yeah , he stole it , and Sami is covering for him . It -- it s crazy , Abe .
Abe : Well , I know that Sami took him back and things are getting better between them . Rafe found Theo and Ciara . Without him--
Theo : Rafe s mean ! He s the most mean . What is that ? It s you !
Taylor : Rafe is mean to you , Theo ?
Caroline : Excuse me .
Abe : Um ... he was stern with Theo , apparently , trying to get Theo and Ciara home after they ran away .
Caroline : The old Rafe would never have frightened children in a delicate situation . It just ... ah , he s just not the same , for a long time .
Taylor : I have to go .
Abe : Taylor--
Taylor : No , you know what ? I ll handle it .
Taylor : Oh , EJ , pick up . Pick up . Oh , you ll know what to do .
Dario : It was Brady , was nt it ?
Melanie : Look , Dario , it s now or never . Please , I need your help . Dario ! I m serious ! I m begging you . Please just help me !
Dario : No , no ! There s no way , Melanie . No .
Brady : EJ is not worth it . You know that .
Nicole : Yes , I know . But those kids , they were , Brady . I mean , I gave up everything , and at the end of the day , it did nt make a difference . I made a terrible mistake .
Gabi : [ Sighs ] Well , I just hope I get out in time for graduation .
Will : You totally will .
Gabi : Well , you brought the prom to me , but you probably ca nt bring the whole senior class and their families to this hospital room .
Will : Hmm ... I could try .
Gabi : [ Chuckles ] You know , I just hope my brother bothers to show up . Rafe , I mean .
Will : Well , I guess we ll see ... if he s changed as much as my mom seems to think that he has .
Gabi : Well , I have to say that ... when he did show up to see me ... he seemed more like the old Rafe than he did in a long time .
Bo : It s locked . [ Chuckles ] Some things never change . Okay . [ Whispers ] What the ...

### Dialogue:
Ridge : It was nt easy walking away from Brooke , after everything we ve shared . She was saying all the right things , promising it would be a new beginning for us . But I just ca nt go down that road again . At least not now .
Stephanie : Not ever , I hope .
Eric : And that s your decision . Brooke s been a big part of this family and this company for a very long time . Do nt forget that .
Stephanie : I could nt if I wanted to . I m very happy for you . I think you ve made the right decision . Look , I know she thought you d take her back , even after everything that she did . You could nt do that . And I m proud of you . I think you finally have figured out exactly who she is .
Bartender : Good evening , Mrs. Marone .
Brooke : It s not Marone .
Bartender : Pardon me -- Mrs. Forrester .
Brooke : Keep trying . I ll have some sparkling water , please .
Ridge : It was a beautiful dream . Dreams are easy to love . I just want a wide- awake life that makes me happy . I wanted it to be with you . But , no matter how hard we tried , it just seems like we could nt make it work . Now I feel like I owe it to myself to keep trying -- without you .
Ashley : You re still here .
Rick : We re not done talking .
Ashley : I thought we were .
Rick : Have you told Ridge about us , yet ?
Ashley : No Rick , I have nt . But I m going to .
Rick : Oh , Ashley . Why ?
Ashley : I ve already explained that to you . I do nt want to have this kind of secret from Ridge , especially when it involves his daughter . And eventually , it s going to come out anyway .
Rick : It does nt have to . I mean , we ve kept a lid on it this long .
Ashley : Look , I m not excited about telling Ridge about what happened between the two of us . But I ve thought about it long and hard , and I know it s what I have to do . I understand that you re concerned about Phoebe . So do the right thing and tell her .
Rick : I ca nt do that .
Ashley : She needs to hear it from you , Rick --
Rick : I know , I know . Ashley , I know she needs to hear it from me , but she s -- this will destroy her , okay ? It will absolutely kill her . I just do nt think that Phoebe is going to be able to handle it .
Phoebe : What wo nt I be able to handle ?
Bridget : Wait , I do nt understand . So , it s just a competition ? Thank you .
C.J. : Yeah , thanks a lot . Uh -- Phoebe is going to perform two songs . One with Rick , and one with Constantine .
Bridget : Oh . What does the winner get ?
C.J. : I do nt know , and I do nt care . As long as it s good for business .

Carl : His retirement party is next month .
Bridget : No , it s not . He s not retiring for almost a year .
Carl : Not anymore . It got moved up . Can you guess why ?
Bridget : No . Why ?
Carl : He s protecting his reputation . He does nt want to be in the middle of a scandal when little baby Marone is born .
Bridget : Just listen to me , Carl . There is no scandal . Taylor was impregnated with the donor s eggs . My mother has absolutely nothing to do with this .
Nick : Bridget , I thought that was you . So , what s this I hear about your mother ?
Man : Well , how about that ? I was right .
Brooke : I m sorry ?
Man : I was noticing at the end of the bar . And I kept thinking , well that woman s just too darn attractive to be sitting in a bar alone . Now that I get a closer look -- I was right .
Brooke : That s very kind of you .
Man : Let me buy you a drink .
Brooke : No , thank you .
Man : Aw , come on . What s one little drink gon na hurt ? Huh ?
Phoebe : Does someone want to tell me what I ca nt handle ? Well -- it s the new Phoebe soap , right ? It s hitting the market and you want to send me on all these publicity tours , but with everything else that s been going on , you re worried that it ll be too much . He s so protective . And I love that about you .
Rick : Phoebe .
Phoebe : But it s just Ashley , Rick . With the campaigning and the publicity tours and traveling the world , I mean , it s insane and so exciting . I mean , I feel incredibly lucky . But , I ca nt imagine doing all of this if I ca nt share it with you . So , maybe rick s right , Ashley . Whatever you had in mind , can it wait ?

Bridget : I mean it . It s -- I m happy for you , Nick . I m glad that you and Taylor are working out and having a baby . It s how it should be .
Nick : Well , coming from you , that means a lot .
Bridget : I guess you ve got the fairy tale . I kind of thought it might happen with -- my mom . But I was wrong . So was she .
Nick : Listen , speaking of your mom , I m a little worried about her . What s going on ?
Brooke : I ca nt stay .
Man : Do you got plans or --
Brooke : I really got to get home . Excuse me --

Brooke : Hey !
Man : Relax , relax .
Brooke : Hello ?
Donna : Brooke , it s Donna . Where are you ?
Brooke : I m at the Cafe Russe .
Donna : Did you forget I have a flight to catch ?
Brooke : A flight ? Where ? Oh my God , wait you have a photo shoot for Forrester Creations , do nt you ?
Donna : Yeah , and my plane leaves in less than two hours .
Brooke : Look , I m so sorry , Donna . It totally slipped my mind . Just call Catherine , and make sure she can watch the kids until I get home . I m leaving now .
Man : So , what do you say ? Just a little nightcap ?
Brooke : No , I really got to get home .
Man : Oh , come on .
Brooke : Oh God !
Man : It s expensive Scotch !
Eric : So , Brooke s tenure here at Forrester Originals is over ?
Ridge : I m afraid so .
Eric : Have you considered those ramifications ?
Ridge : Dad , we were all looking forward to having her on our team .
Stephanie : Oh , please ! This company is quite capable of finding someone to replace Brooke . Ashley . I think Ashley would -- would like very much to be more involved in the business end of things . She s quite capable of filling Brooke s shoes . In more ways than one .
Ridge : Mother , come on .
Stephanie : I know you like her .
Ridge : Okay , I do like her . That does nt mean she s my future .
Stephanie : Who the hell knows what anybody s future is ? I know one thing . She s better for you than Brooke was .
Ridge : I ca nt trust you Brooke . You do nt know what you want .
Nick : I m moving on with Taylor . Good - bye , Brooke .
Ridge : I ca nt trust you .
Nick : I m moving on .
Ridge : You do nt know what you want . I ca nt trust you .
Nick : I m moving on . Good - bye , Brooke .
Rick : Phoebe --
Phoebe : Um - hmm .
Rick : We ca nt do this here .
Phoebe : Are you worried someone will walk in ?
Rick : Well --
Phoebe : I do nt care who knows about us . Okay ? We do nt have to anymore . You know how lucky I feel to be with yout ?
Rick : Yes . Yes , I do .
Phoebe : Good . Look , you have nothing to make up for . What happened when we were broken up -- with that other woman -- I ve forgiven you . And it s forgotten .
Stephanie : This goes to 200 Beston place .
Messenger : You got it , Mrs. Forrester .
Stephanie : Thank you very much .
Messenger : You re welcome .
Ashley : Hi .
Stephanie : Ashley ! Well , hi . Well , do nt you look pretty ?
Ashley : Thank you . You re in a good mood .
Stephanie : I absolutely am . Brooke no longer works here .
Ashley : She quit ?
Stephanie : More or less . And I think I have you to thank for that .
Ashley : Why me ?
Stephanie : Because you showed my son there is life after Brooke . And I am forever in your debt .
Ashley : Oh , you re welcome .
Ridge : What s going on in here ?
Stephanie : Oh , we re just standing here chit - chatting . I m on my way home though . Nice to talk to you , Ashley .
Ashley : You too .
Stephanie : Night , hon .
Ridge : Good night . Do I need to ask what that was about ?
Ashley : Well , your mother just informed me that Brooke does nt work here any longer .
Ridge : Probably for the best .
Ashley : For you ? Or for Brooke ?
Ridge : For both .
Ashley : Does that mean what I think it means ?
Ridge : Yeah .
Ashley : Your mother s happy about it .
Ridge : That s an understatement .
Ashley : What about you ? How are you feeling about it ?
Nick : Thank you .
Bridget : I understand why you re worried about my mom . I get it . I am too , actually . I just think she s -- a little lost right now . She does nt even know what she wants , and she s been talking about going back to Ridge .
Nick : She what ? She ca nt do that . She can not go back to that man . If you think that your mother s life is in a tailspin now -- if she hooks up with that drama queen , things are going to get a hell of a lot worse .
Brooke : I m almost there , Donna .
Donna : Well , I hope so , because I m going to miss my plane .
Brooke : You could nt get a hold of Catherine ?
Donna : No , I called her and she s visiting her family in Chicago .
Brooke : God that s right . I forgot . Look , just sit tight , okay ? I m almost there . I m turning off sunset .
Donna : Mommy s almost home , okay . So I m going to go get my stuff . All right ?
Bridget : Trust me , I m just as concerned about my mother as you are . Going back and forth between you and Ridge -- it s not healthy . Part of me thinks she just needs to be by herself , figure things out . Then , there s another part of me that thinks -- well , I worry about what might happen if she did that .
Nick : What do you mean ?
Bridget : I just -- I just have never seen her like this . She s been down before , but something about this feels really different .
Brooke : I ve got to get home to my children . I ca nt let hope and R.J. See me this way . What is happening to me ? I feel like I m falling apart .
Ashley : So , you and Brooke are over ? No second thoughts ?
Ridge : Brooke s going through
Ashley : So , you ll always care about her ?
Ridge : Yes , I will . But as far as my future -- I ca nt see myself going back there again . This time seems different .
Ashley : Why ?
Ridge : You . When you told me you were going to Genoa City -- I realized just how much I really did nt want you to go .
Donna : Sounds like a car . Let s hope it s your mommy . Oh , finally . Mommy s home . I got ta go .
Hope : You re leaving ?
Donna : Do nt worry , she s come right up the driveway . She ll be right in , okay ? And I m going to go through the back cause that s where my car is . I ve got to go , or I m going to miss my flight , okay ? I ll see you when I get home . Bye .
Hope : Bye , Aunt Donna .
Hope : I ca nt wait to see Mommy .
R.J. : Me , too .
Hope : Mommy ?
Messenger : Delivery for Brooke Logan !
Hope : Do nt say anything .
R.J. : I m scared .
Hope : Do nt worry . We ll hide until Mommy comes home .
Hope : Aunt Donna said she d be here soon .
R.J. : Then , where is Mommy ?
R.J. : Where is she ?

### Dialogue:
Fancy : You want to repair our relationship ?
Ivy : Oh , yes , honey , I do .
Fancy : Well , you re implying that we have a relationship to start with , and we do nt .
Ivy : Fancy , I m your mother and you are my daughter . What closer bond could there be ?
Fancy : If we re so bonded , why did you come in here accusing me of plotting to ruin someone s life ?
Ivy : Honey , I did nt mean that literally . I meant that sometimes you re just a little clueless about the consequences of your actions .
Fancy : How so exactly ?
Ivy : You just do nt realize that what you say and what you do can screw up the lives of the people around you , and I ca nt help but wonder whose life you re going to inadvertently ruin this time .
Sam : What s going on with Jessica now ?
Noah : Look , Spike called her and told her that I set fire to his club . She went crazy .
Kay : Yeah , she was furious with all of us . She even slapped Noah .
Ethan : She called Spike her boyfriend .
Sam : Her boyfriend ? Is she insane ? This guy is an idiot . He s just using her .
Kay : I know , we tried to tell her that , but she would nt listen . She thinks that he s the only one who understands her , that we do nt care about her .
Sam : Of course we care about her . Spike s the one who does nt give a damn about her .
Noah : Yeah , well , we have to find a way to let her know that before it s too late .
Jessica : Ok , what do I have to do , Spike ? What do I have to do to make my family leave me alone and let me live my own life ?
Spike : Well , it s not going to be easy , Jessica . In fact , it s going to be really hard . But you re going to have to listen to me . Now , are you up for that ?
Jessica : I -- I do nt know . You re scaring me , Spike .
Spike : Oh , no , baby , do nt be scared . Look at me . Look at me . Now , do you trust me ?
Jessica : I trust you .
Spike : Good . Then you are going to have to believe that whatever I want is for the best for you and the best for me , for us .
Jessica : For us ?
Spike : Yes , baby , honest . Come here , sweetie . Honest , honey . We re a team , baby . You re my girl . You re my only one .
Jessica : Ok . What do you want me to do ?
Spike : You re going to have to leave here , baby . You re going to have to leave your home and your family -- forever .
Katherine : Who is it , Alistair ? Who have you chosen to lock into your evil gravitational field ?
Theresa : So you ve been eavesdropping on us ? Is that how you get your kicks ?
Alistair : No , actually , I get my kicks -- as you so crassly put it -- the old- fashioned way .
Theresa : I love you so much . It s your mommy , sweetheart . It s your real mommy . No matter what I have to do , I will get you back .
Alistair : I know how to get your daughter back .
Theresa : In exchange for what ? What s your price ?
Alistair : Nothing you could nt afford , I assure you .
Pilar : I know that look , Theresa . It usually means trouble . What are you thinking ? What is going on inside that head of yours ?
Luis : Drop the knife , Beth .
Beth : You drop the gun now or she dies .
Sheridan : Shoot her . Luis , I need to get my baby .
Beth : He s not your baby !
Sheridan : Just shoot her !
Luis : I ca nt get a clear shot .
Sheridan : Yes , you can . Just do it ! Shoot her !
Fancy : I do nt go around ruining people s lives , Mother .
Ivy : Not intentionally , Fancy , no , but through the years , your father and I , we ve heard things . Like the dueling princes who shot each other because of you , or the wildlife expert who was mauled by a jackal ?
Fancy : Is it my fault he could nt refuse a dare ?
Ivy : Honey , all I m saying is that you do nt realize the influence you have on other people s lives , and not always in a good way .
Fancy : Anything else ?
Ivy : Yes . What you think of as just idle chitchat , Fancy , it has been known to lead to disaster for other people .
Fancy : Well , if that s true , then why would you want to get close to me ? Why do nt you keep your distance like you always have ?
Ivy : Fancy , I m not trying to hurt you . I m just trying to be honest .
Fancy : I m not hurt .
Ivy : Yes , you are . Because the truth hurts , and believe me , I know that . Honey , I blame myself for the person that you are . I know I never taught you to be kind or considerate or think of other people , to realize that your actions do have consequences , some seen and some unforeseen . And I would like to make up for that now , and I think , Fancy , if you let me in , I can help you be a better person .
Fancy : Not the nasty , selfish diva I am now ?
Ivy : Fancy , you re not nasty .
Fancy : Huh . Just selfish .
Ivy : You know , Fox and I -- since we ve gotten closer , it s made us both better people . You know , you would nt recognize your brother now , Fancy , really . He s not that selfish playboy . He s kind and he s considerate and he is loving and he has both feet planted firmly on the ground . And I -- I think we could have that kind of relationship , too . And I want it , Fancy , I really do . Please , I hope you want it , too .
Kay : I feel so guilty that Jessica s life s messed up . I ve been so busy with work and Maria and hoping that Miguel would come back that I have nt really paid much attention to her . I should ve seen that she was headed for trouble and I should ve done something about it .
Sam : Kay , honey , I do nt think that there s anything that you could have done . I think Jessica s problems started when Grace decided to be with David . I mean , we all had a hard time coping with the fact that your mother s amnesia made her forget that she had a first husband and a son by him .
Kay s voice : Only mom did nt . Ivy used David to break up you and Mom , hoping she could win you back .
Noah : Look , I was blown away to hear about Mom and that David guy .
Kay : Yeah , it was really hard for Jessica to watch you and Mom break up , I mean , especially at an age when she was just trying to get her act together . Spike arriving on the scene could nt have come at a worse time .
Ethan : Is it because Jessica s vulnerable right now ?
Kay : Yeah , I mean , he is the total opposite of everything that you and Mom raised her to be . You know what , that s probably why she s so attracted to him and blind to see what he s really like .
Noah : You know , if Jessica ca nt see what scum that creep Spike really is , then she s going to be blind to how much he can really hurt her .
Jessica : You think I should run away ?
Spike : Jess , you would nt be running away . You keep forgetting that you are a grown woman . You can do what you want when you want without your family s approval .
Jessica : You know , you re right . I m an adult .
Spike : Right . So why let your family keep giving you grief about what you can and can not do ? You need to show them that you can be independent . And the only way to do that is to be independent , to get out on your own , Jess . That s the only way that you re going to be happy . Baby , it s the only way that we ll be happy .
Katherine : Whose life are you out to ruin this time , Alistair ? Who are you planning to use for your twisted pleasure , hmm ?
Alistair : Twisted pleasures ? You ve been reading too many romance novels , Katherine . No one talks like that .
Katherine : Just answer the question .
Alistair : I suggest you stop worrying about other people and start worrying about yourself . You and I have a deal -- you move back into the mansion and I do nt tell anyone that as a young girl , Sheridan killed your sister , Rachel .
Katherine : I have nt forgotten .
Alistair : Well , good . Then what is Martin still doing here ? You two are never supposed to see each other again .
Martin : I came here to help find Beth and Marty .
Alistair : Well , they re both gone .
Martin : Hmm .
Alistair : And you will be , too . Get this Irish interloper out of here and make sure he never comes back .
Katherine : Leave him alone , please ! Alistair , do nt hurt him .
Sheridan : Shoot her , Luis .
Beth : Shut up .
Luis : I ca nt get a clear shot .
Sheridan : Luis , you are an expert marksman . Now , shoot her !
Beth : You , shut up . And you -- Luis , you ca nt shoot me . I m your first love , your true love , and deep down , you know that I could never plot against you . It was Alistair . He forced me to kidnap Marty and try to kill Sheridan . I -- I did nt want to . I do nt even like clowns .
Sheridan : Liar ! Do nt even listen to her , Luis . She s got my father s blood running through her . She s a monster just like he is !
Beth : No , I m not . I m an innocent victim of Alistair s treachery .
Luis : Yeah , well , if you re so innocent , then why did nt you come for my help when he forced you to kidnap Marty ?
Sheridan : Luis , you can figure this all out later after you shoot Beth and get Marty . Shoot the bitch !
Beth : Shut up ! Luis ca nt shoot his high school sweetheart . She does nt understand true love , does she , Luis ? The true , lasting love like we share , not this infatuation you have with Sheridan .
Sheridan : You are such a psycho .
Beth : Ow !
Sheridan : Shoot her while you have a clear shot ! Stop her before she gets to Marty !
Luis : Are you all right ?
Sheridan : Why did nt you shoot her while you had the chance ? Damn you , Luis !
Luis : I could nt shoot someone who s unarmed !
Sheridan : Unarmed ? She had a knife to my throat !
Luis : I know , but --
Sheridan : No , you know what , just give me your gun and I ll shoot her !
Luis : Would you just stop arguing , ok ? We re wasting tim--
Luis : She s got Marty .
Sheridan : Oh , no .
Luis : She s down at the cars .
Sheridan : Oh , my god , the lake . That s what she meant when she said she had another escape . She s going to take Marty to the other side of the lake .
Luis : Not if we can stop her .
Beth : Marty , we made it . Luis and Sheridan are never going to stop us now . Ok . Here we go .
Marty : We go !
Beth : All right . Let s hide you . Here we go .
Martin : Get off me !
Alistair : Go home to your wife , Fitzgerald , and never come back .
Martin : I hate leaving you here , Katherine .
Katherine : Martin , please do nt struggle with them . I m the one choosing to stay here . I want you to do what Alistair says . Go back to Pilar , go back to your children , back to your life .
Alistair : If you can call it that .
Martin : I swear , if you hurt Katherine , I will kill you !
Alistair : Duly noted .
Martin : Get off me !
Katherine : I am going to follow those goons and make sure they do nt hurt him . Oh , Alistair . I so pity the next person you have in your sights . I really do .
Alistair : You have no idea , Katherine . And neither does Theresa .
Pilar : Oh , god . There s that look again .
Theresa : What look ?
Pilar : You know , Theresa . You know . The one you get on your face right before you do something that will end in disaster .
Theresa : No , you re exaggerating , Mama . Everything is fine .
Pilar : No , I m not exaggerating . That is the same look you had on your face when you went to Bermuda to convince Julian to adopt Ethan , only to come back pregnant by that man . Whatever it is you re thinking , please do nt .
Fancy : Mother , I do nt think you had anything to do with Fox changing . I heard he changed because he fell in love and had a baby .
Ivy : I m sure that that was part of it , of course , but Fox and I are closer now , and I would so like us to be , also .
Fancy : Well , accusing me of wanting to ruin people s lives does nt exactly make me want to get close to you .
Alistair : Ah ! Fancy , I see you cleaned up , huh ?
Fancy : Grandpa . You came back just to check on me ?
Alistair : No , I came back to get a proper hug from my sweet granddaughter .
Ivy : You always were your grandfather s favorite .
Alistair : That s because Fancy and I are so much alike , hmm ?
Ivy s voice : God help us all .
Beth : Here we go , Marty . Next stop -- freedom .
Sheridan : Look ! Beth is in the boat with Marty !
Luis : She s shoving off .
Sheridan : Hurry . We got to stop her !
Sheridan : Marty ! Marty ! Oh , no . Beth got away .
Luis : No , no , no , she just got a little head start , that s all . Do nt worry , I m going to catch up to her and get Marty back in no time .
Sheridan : All right , well , I m coming with you .
Luis : No , Sheridan , you stay here , ok ? You just wait for me to bring Marty back .
Sheridan : To hell with waiting . I m going after Marty .
Gwen : What are you doing here ? Is something wrong ?
Rebecca : Oh , no . No , honey , nothing is wrong . I was just thinking about Theresa and how she will not let go of Ethan . I mean , she will stop at nothing to try to win him back -- the stunts she s pulled , the lies she s told . It just goes on and on .
Gwen : Look , I ve actually been thinking about her , too . You know what I realized ? Mother , I have Ethan , I have Jane . And since we destroyed any evidence that proves we leaked Ethan s paternity to the tabloids , there is nothing Theresa can do now to turn things around . I won .
Rebecca : You re right . The taco queen is out of options .
Gwen : There s no way she s ever going to have the upper hand again .
Pilar : Theresa , look at me . What are you thinking about doing ?
Alistair : I know how to get your daughter back .
Theresa : In exchange for what ? What s your price ?
Alistair : Nothing you could nt afford , I assure you .
Theresa : Nothing . Nothing . Look , you know what -- you re absolutely right , we need to get out of here before Gwen and Rebecca find us , because if they do , they will take Jane away from me forever .
Pilar : Let s go .
Theresa : I want you back , Jane . I want you back so much that I can see myself making a deal with the devil himself .
Alistair : Sit down . Now , you have to tell me about this accident you had at the cannery . You were covered with fish guts .
Fancy : That s easy -- Noah Bennett .
Alistair : The chief of police s son ?
Fancy : Mm - hmm .
Alistair : I did nt think that you knew him .
Fancy : No , I do nt know Noah . We only recently met .
Alistair : You two an item ?
Fancy : What ? No , of course not . I bumped into Noah last night at an after- hours club -- a club he decided to burn down .
Alistair : What ? Are you telling me that the chief of police s son committed arson ?
Fancy : Yeah , Noah said he wanted revenge for what he thinks the owner did to his sister .
Alistair : Did he mention the owner s name ?
Fancy : Yeah . Spike .
Alistair : Spike .
Fancy : Yeah , my whole night was ruined . First , I got caught in the fire Noah started , and then after I got out , I broke a heel trying to walk home . Noah insisted on carrying me , only Spike found us and tried to kill us , thinking we d started the fire together . And that s when I fell off the wharf into the hold of a fishing trawler , and I ended up at the cannery heading towards the vat .
Alistair : All because of Noah Bennett ?
Fancy : Well , yeah . Noah thinks he s god s gift , like he s better than me because he s poor . And he said the worst things about you , Grampy . But do nt worry , I defended you .
Alistair : Oh , thank you , my dear , thank you .
Fancy : No need to say thank you . I love you , Grandfather .
Alistair : Well --
Fancy : I just wish someone would take Noah and his family down a peg . I ca nt stand him .
Sam : I wish I knew how to connect with Jessica , you know , show her that we all love her and only want what s best for her .
Kay : Dad , we have all tried . I mean , even Noah tried to talk to her when you were out , but he did nt get very far .
Ethan : I think Jessica has to come to her senses sometime .
Noah : And until then , all we can do is protect her .
Sam : I m going to go check on her , see if I can talk to her .
Ethan : No , you know what , Dad ? I do nt think it s a good idea right now .
Kay : Yeah , Ethan s right . I mean , she was really mad . I think we should wait till she calms down .
Sam : I do nt know what to do anymore . She needs my help , and I ll be damned if I know how to give it to her . You know , I think I m close to losing my little girl forever .
Spike : Oh , Jess , baby , I know it s going to be hard for you to pack up and leave this place you call home , but , hey , you got to trust me . It s the only way that you re going to have the kind of life that you want and have a life with me .
Jessica : Really , Spike ?
Spike : Baby , I m not happy unless I m with you . And the only way that I can be with you is if you leave here and come and live with me .
Beth : Damn ! I knew I should ve smashed those other boats before we left the dock . Luis is in one , now he s gaining on us . I just got to get to the other shore , steal a car , then we re going to be home free , Marty . Mommy promises , Mommy promises !
Luis : Sheridan .
Luis : This is Detective Lopez - Fitzgerald , Harmony P.D. , requesting local police assistance in apprehending female kidnapper with toddler onboard stolen Crane motorboat .
Sheridan : I m going to catch you , Beth . You wo nt leave this lake with my son .
Marty : Boat .
Luis : This is Detective Lopez - Fitzgerald , Harmony P.D. I see your police boat . Kidnapper s boat is boat closest to you . Use caution when intercepting . My son is onboard .
Beth : Oh , damn it . That s a police boat . Luis must have alerted the lake patrol . How am I going to outrun them , too ?
Alistair : So you want to take the Bennett s down a peg or two , huh ?
Fancy : Well , it would serve them right . I mean , where does Noah Bennett get off thinking he s better than me , that his family s better than ours ? I told him about the millions we give to charity , but he said that you only did that to get a tax deduction .
Alistair : Oh , did he now ? Hmm .
Fancy : Yes , like we do nt care about anyone but ourselves .
Alistair : I m sorry he upset you .
Fancy : Everyone blames their problems on us because we re rich and they re not , but Noah takes the cake . The guy gambles for a living .
Alistair : You mean that the son of our esteemed police chief is involved in the gaming industry ? I wonder what kind of signal that gives to the townspeople .
Fancy : And then he said that you were mean to his grandfather back when he was police chief .
Alistair : That does nt surprise me . The Bennett s have always been a thorn in our side for quite a while .
Fancy : Well , Noah does nt bother me , Grandfather . I put him in his place .
Alistair : Like a good Crane should .
Fancy : I love talking to you , Grampy . You ve always been the best listener .
Alistair : Well , sweetheart , I am very flattered that you confide in me , and rest assured that I take everything you say to heart . I just hope that you re going to stick around Harmony for quite a while and we could spend more time together and really catch up .
Fancy : I d love to -- if I had nt made plans to meet friends on Hydra . Alexi wants to take us sailing .
Alistair : I see .
Fancy : I could come back this autumn after I visit Mavis in Zurich .
Alistair : Or you could simply stay here . We could go sailing . I d like that very much .
Fancy : If it means that much to you , Grandfather , of course I ll stay in Harmony . We can go sailing anytime you like .
Alistair : Oh , you are so good to your Grand - Pere . Is nt there anything I would nt do for you , huh ?
Fancy : I love you , Grandfather .
Alistair : And I love you , too , very much . You be good now .
Alistair : Yes , I think it s time to invoke that obscure clause we have in Chief Bennett s contract . Yes . The doomsday clause .
Sam : The more I think about the person Jessica s become , I feel like a total failure as a father .
Ethan : No , you have nt .
Sam : Thanks for saying that . But I think the evidence against me is pretty overwhelming . I mean , for starters , I did nt even know you were my son until a few years ago .
Ethan : You know that was nt your fault . That was Mom s . I grew up believing I was a Crane .
Sam : Yeah , but Noah s known all along that he was a Bennett and he quit graduate school to become a professional gambler .
Ethan : Yeah , he admitted to me that his mother leaving with David Hastings , it rattled him a bit .
Sam : Yeah , and Noah lied about what he was doing , and Kay had Maria before Grace left , so there was definitely something wrong even when Grace and I were together .
Ethan : Dad , even so , it has nt stopped Kay from being a top - notch mother to Maria .
Sam : Yeah , which brings me back to Jessica . What if she makes mistakes that she ca nt put behind her ? And with Spike in her life , there are so many wrong choices to choose from .
Sam : Bennett here . Yeah . Uh - huh .
Spike : The only way that you and I can be together , Jess , is if you leave home today .
Guard : Get moving .
Second guard : And do nt ever come back .
Katherine : Guards , wait . As Mrs. Alistair Crane , I insist you allow me to say a proper goodbye to Mr. Fitzgerald .
Guard : Ok . Go ahead .
Katherine : Oh , Martin . I ca nt imagine what it s going to be like not seeing you every day .
Martin : Yeah , me , too . I ll miss you so much .
Katherine : I ll miss you , too , my love . I was hoping for one last kiss .
Martin : I was hoping you d say that .
Spike : Once we leave here , we can get our own place , just the two of us . Your old man wo nt be on your case anymore , or your psycho brother or know - it - all sister .
Jessica : You and I wo nt have to sneak around anymore . I could come and go as I please , day or night .
Spike : Exactly . You re a grown woman , sweetheart . You should be able to do what you want when you want .
Jessica : You re right , I should .
Spike : Gosh , I can see it now . We ll get our own place , right ? We ll -- we ll have candlelight dinners , we ll cuddle afterwards . Oh , baby , we ll make love all night long .
Jessica : It sounds so wonderful , Spike .
Spike : So then you ll do it ? You ll leave your cop dad s prison house to be with me ?
Jessica : Yes , Spike , yes ! We can be together from now on , all the time .
Spike : Great , baby . Great , sweetie .
Jessica : Ok , just let me pack a few things , then we can go .
Spike : Ok .
Spike s voice : This was easier than I thought .
Spike : Jessica ? What is it ? Is something wrong ?
Sam : Ok .
Ethan : Check my messages . Good , no messages . It s quiet .
Noah : You were expecting trouble ?
Ethan : It s a long story , Noah . You remember Theresa Lopez - Fitzgerald ?
Noah : Yeah , Pilar s daughter . You know , Mom wrote me once that you two were tight .
Ethan : Yeah . Yeah , we were once . But now I m married to Gwen Hotchkiss . But Theresa and I have a daughter together named Jane . But Gwen and I have just assumed temporary custody of her .
Noah : And , what , now Theresa wants her back ?
Ethan : Yes , she does , big - time . I was worried I was going to get a message that Theresa tried to kidnap Jane from the mansion or something , but so far , so good .
Noah : That Theresa . You know , I remember her growing up . She still a hopeless romantic ?
Ethan : Yeah , she is . The problem is what started as a schoolgirl crush on me turned into a fatal attraction pretty much .
Noah : Ooh , no rabbit stew , I hope ?
Ethan : No rabbit stew . But there s been a lot of crazy stuff that s happened . I ve been right in the middle of it , and I ca nt believe the stuff that has happened , but she s convinced that we re going to be a family together with her daughter , Jane , and her son by Julian Crane .
Noah : Her what with who ?
Ethan : Oh , it s another long story . The bottom line is I love my wife .
Noah : But you care for Theresa , too .
Ethan : She s always going to be a part of my life because of Jane , but I respect my marriage vows too much to leave Gwen . See , the thing is I do nt know what Theresa will do to regain custody of Jane . When her back is up against a wall , Noah , she acts without thinking things through . I m afraid she s going to find herself in bed , figuratively , with the wrong person . It s not like she has nt done it before .
Theresa : Ok , I m just going to meet you outside . I m going to make sure that we did nt leave anything that could tip off Gwen or Rebecca that we snuck back inside .
Pilar : Theresa , you should ve done that before we came downstairs .
Theresa : I know , Mama , I m sorry .
Pilar : Ok . Just be careful .
Theresa : All right , I will .
Pilar : Ok , go .
Theresa : You , too . Ok . Gwen and Rebecca are afraid of Alistair . Maybe it s time that he and I had a little talk .
Alistair : Looking for me , Theresa ?
Luis : Thank god the local police launched their boats so fast . Now they can head Beth off before she gets to the other side of the lake .
Beth : How am I going to steer clear of that police boat and make it to shore ?
Sheridan : That s a police boat . Luis must have radioed for help . If he ca nt catch Beth , the police boat can . Either way , I will get my son back .
Beth : I ca nt let them catch me , but I ca nt outrun them , either . Think , Beth , think . God . Wait . Wait . I know .
Sheridan : Oh , no . Beth cut between Luis and the police boat . There s nothing to stop her from getting to shore now .
Beth : Whoo - hoo - hoo ! Marty , we made it ! No one s going to catch us now ! Freedom , here we come .
Sheridan : I ll get Beth and save my son .
Luis : You re not going to get away with this , Beth ! I m going to get my son back or die trying .
Guard : Get off the grounds . Mr. Crane said to .
Martin : Katherine , if you ever need my help , call me . I ll do whatever I can .
Katherine : Oh , Martin , I do nt think we can ever see each other again .
Guard : Leave now or we ll release the dogs .
Martin : Goodbye , my love .
Katherine : Bye - bye .
Ivy : Well , you and Alistair were alone in here for quite some time , Fancy . What have you talked your grandfather into doing for you now ?
Fancy : Nothing . We just talked .
Ivy : Oh , please . You know , you are nt even aware of it , but you can cause havoc in people s lives just like your grandfather , and I ca nt help but wonder whose life you ve mucked with now .
Sam : Just great .
Kay : Dad , is everything all right ?
Sam : No , honey , it s not .
Kay : Why ? What happened ?
Sam : That was the mayor on the phone . Town council had an emergency meeting just now and voted to replace me , effective immediately .
Noah : Whoa , they ca nt do that . Wait -- can they ?
Ethan : I d have to look at his contract , but it s not unheard of .
Noah : You know , Alistair Crane must be behind this .
Ethan : Why would you say that ?
Noah : Because he s been on Dad s case for being independent before I ever went away to college .
Kay : It s bad enough that Jessica thinks Spike s her boyfriend , but now you ve been fired ? Could this day get any worse ?
Spike : You ll show them , Jess . Leaving with me will show your family that you are a grown woman in charge of your own life .
Jessica : Yeah . You re so smart , Spike . You see things so clearly . It s time I left home to live my own life .
Gwen : Ok , Mother , I will see you later . I am going to take a nap .
Rebecca : Good . Good for you , honey . Now , you get some rest , and do nt worry . Everything is going to be fine . We just have to keep an eye on Theresa .
Gwen : I d like to think so . You know I sometimes still have a really bad feeling , you know , that Theresa s just going to do something completely outrageous to beat us and take Jane away from me , Mother , something we never even saw coming .
Alistair : I can give you what you want if you give me what I want . You ll get Jane back , or you can turn your back on me and take your chances . It s up to you .
Luis : Sheridan s gaining on Beth .
Sheridan : I ve got you now , Beth .
Beth : Oh , damn . I m headed straight for those logs . Turn , you tub , turn !
Luis : My god , Sheridan s going to hit those logs . Sheridan !
Sheridan : No !

### Dialogue:
Ryan : What are you doing ? Did you follow me here ?
Madison : I was concerned .
Ryan : Ok , you got to go . I do nt want you involved in this .
Madison : Ryan --
Ryan : Now , Madison . Look , if you get caught here , you could ruin everything .
Marissa : Because you have to know something .
J.R. : I know everything that I need to .
Marissa : I slept with Scott . I tried to keep it a secret , but I just could nt . All these lies , J.R. , all these lies ! I had to tell you or I was gon na explode or something . Look , it was nt planned , ok ? I had just been here and I had seen you through the window , and you and Annie were so close , and the way that you were looking at her . I m not blaming you . I m just -- I m just trying -- I thought that you guys were about to make love , and I was so devastated . So I went home to pack my bags , and Scott was there . And I just told him what I saw -- what I thought I saw . It was nt revenge , it was just -- you know , we were both hurting and confused , and we just turned to the only other person that was there , J.R. God , I wanted to tell you so many times , and I almost did , but it just was nt until now . Here I just -- I just had to . Oh , God , please say something , J.R.
Annie : Ohh , I ca nt believe you did all this ! What am I saying ? Of course , I can believe you did all this .
Scott : The justice of the peace will be here any minute . I can not wait to marry you .
Annie : Neither can I -- marry you , I mean , not me . Are you kidding ? I would divorce me in , like , two seconds . But do nt get any ideas .
Scott : I hate to break it to you , but as soon as we re pronounced husband and wife , that s it . You re not getting rid of me .
Annie : Promise ?
Scott : Oh , yeah . That s a promise .
Ryan : Look , I m sorry that I went off on you like that , ok ? I m a little bit stressed with the whole Hayward thing . I m a little bit on edge . The mechanic that Hayward paid off to mess with Erica s plane --
Madison : The one who will lie that Greenlee caused the plane crash ?
Ryan : He s on his way here .
Madison : Right now , to meet with you ?
Ryan : He thinks he s meeting with Hayward . And if he comes here , you have to hide , ok ?
Madison : Done . Ok . Well , what s your plan ?
Ryan : The plan is I m just gon na put pressure on him , I m gon na make him crack , I m gon na make him admit that Hayward is the guilty one and not Greenlee .
Madison : Ok .
Ryan : What ? What is it ? What s wrong ?
Madison : Nothing . Just -- well , do you know anything about this man ?
Ryan : No .
Madison : What if he s some kind of a lunatic or worse ? I mean , he crashed a plane . I m surprised that Greenlee s ok with you putting yourself on the line like this .
Ryan : Greenlee is the one that s in trouble here , not me , ok ? She s risking everything playing this game with Hayward , and if he finds out about it -- if he even remotely suspects it , I do nt want to think about what that guy would do to her .
David : It s been a long time .
Greenlee : It s kind of like riding a bike , though , is nt it ?
David : Is it ? I mean , did you feel anything like before ?
Greenlee : I m trying , David .
David : I know . And I m not expecting you to let go overnight . So I promise : No pushing , no pressure .
Greenlee : Thank you .
David : I do so want to be close to you again , Greenlee , more than I can say . That s only gon na happen if you feel comfortable . So this is me waiting , something I m not very good at normally . But for you , I can do pretty much anything .
Annie : Well , it is my last , because you have finally given us everything we ve been searching for : A real , stable , loving family .
Scott : I ve been looking for one of those myself .
Annie : I ve made so many mistakes in my life , Scott , dragging Emma along for the ride . I mean , people like me -- we do nt get this . We do nt get happy endings .
Scott : Yeah , but , Annie , everybody makes mistakes , ok ? Even me .
Annie : No . Impossible . You re one of the good guys , remember ? I could even get your dad s Good Guys hat to prove it .
Scott : I am just saying that I know how easy it is to get thrown off track , ok , because you re scared or you re hurt or you re confused . And it takes , what , like a second to make a bad decision , but we have a lifetime to make the right ones , starting today . And you and Emma will never have to be alone again .
J.R. : I ca nt believe this . I ca nt believe that you would do this .
Marissa : I know . I -- I would nt have believed it , either , but I did . God , if I could go back to that moment when I looked through the window , I would ve done everything differently . When we realized the mistake that we made , that you and Annie -- nothing happened . I mean , I hated myself for it . But I ca nt go back , J.R. I mean , none of us can , right ? All I can do is say I m so sorry for all of us , but especially for A.J.
J.R. : You slept with Scott ?
Marissa : I know . I know it does nt make it any better , but I hate myself for it .
J.R. : No . It s not your fault .
Marissa : How can you say that ?
J.R. : He s been waiting for this , has nt he ?
Marissa : No , no . Scott did nt plan it any more than I did .
J.R. : Oh , the hell he did nt ! You know how many times I ve heard , Why ca nt you be more like your cousin ? Why ca nt you be more like Scott ? He could nt stand the fact that I had Annie first . He felt entitled to her , like she belonged to him . I did nt want her ! Ok ? I did nt . But he wanted to get back at me , so he used you to do it .
Marissa : No , that is not what --
J.R. : Do nt you protect him !
Marissa : I m not !
J.R. : He used you when you were vulnerable , and he s not gon na get away with it .
Marissa : You need to calm down .
J.R. : You know what I need to do ? I need to find Scott .
Marissa : Then what ?
J.R. : I m gon na kill him .
Marissa : No , no , you are not leaving this house , not while you are so out of control . J.R. , this is the most honest that we ve been with each other in a really long time . Let s not stop now .
J.R. : You need to get out of my way .
Marissa : I know that you want to blame Scott . Ok ? It would be a lot easier on me , too , but I ca nt because I m the one who jumped to conclusions . I saw you with Annie and I misjudged everything .
J.R. : It did nt seem like Scott was trying to talk you out of it .
Marissa : No , but I was so convinced . I mean , I thought that my life was over , that I had lost you and A.J. It was just too much , so I turned to Scott .
J.R. : No , no , he took advantage of you .
Marissa : Are you listening to me ? I turned to Scott , ok , because in that moment , I wanted him . I needed him . So if you re gon na blow up at someone , damn it , blow up at me !
J.R. : How could I be angry ? I m the one who cheated first , right ? That s how this whole thing started . But when I told you that I slept with Annie in D.C. , it was only that one time , and I was nt lying .
Marissa : I believe you .
J.R. : I mean , Annie and I -- it does nt even matter anymore , you know , because I was 100 % committed to this ! I was 100 % committed to making this work !
Marissa : But it s not working . Not for you , and definitely not for me . Otherwise , I never could ve done what I did .
J.R. : I needed you to be something for me .
Marissa : You needed me to be the perfect wife and mother , and I m not . I never was .
J.R. : No , do nt say that . You were that .
Marissa : I never asked to be put on a pedestal , J.R. I m human . I m just like everyone else .
J.R. : You re not like everyone else because you re my wife .
Marissa : Oh , God , I do nt know . Maybe we just do nt know each other as well as we thought .
J.R. : I just thought if -- if I worked hard enough , if I fought hard enough , I could be the husband you deserve .
Marissa : I know , but that s part of the problem , right ? I mean , all this trying and struggling and fighting to hang on . God , I do nt know about you , J.R. , but I am tired .
J.R. : So that s it ? Just walk away ?
Marissa : Face the truth : You do nt love me .
J.R. : No , that s not true . You know that .
Marissa : Ok , well , maybe you just do nt love me enough . I felt it for a long time , J.R. , ever since Annie . And every time I see the two of you together , it just -- it feels like a knife in my heart . And I just keep thinking that it s gon na get better , but it does nt . We ve been over since then . It just took this happening to finally realize it .
J.R. : This ? Scott sleeping with my wife ?
Marissa : J.R.
J.R. : No , you know what ? I ca nt be here with you .
Emma : Mommy !
Annie : Hi ! Oh , my beautiful princess !
Emma : This is pretty .
Annie : I know . Is nt it ? Scott was right . This is so much better than getting married at home , huh ? Hey . Oh , Emma , I am so happy that you re here . And I know I said this before , but I really mean it from the bottom of my heart . This is the start of something special for us . We re gon na be a real family now : You , me , and Scott . Ok ? So you re ok with all this ? You re happy about everything ? Ok .
Emma : Who s gon na take pictures ?
Anya : Oh , I can do that .
Annie : Oh , you know what , Anya ? I did nt even bring a camera .
Scott : You know what ? Use my phone .
Annie : Oh . Great ! You want to take pictures with Mommy ?
Emma : Yeah .
Annie : Ok ! Ok , ready ? Hold my bouquet . Yes ! Smile !
Emma : You , too , Scott .
Scott : Yeah ? You sure ? It s not a girls - only thing or something ?
Annie : Not anymore . Ok . Ha ha ha ha !
Justice : Shall we begin ?
Scott : Ready if you are .
Annie : Let s do it .
J.R. : We only took one car . Let me give you a ride .
Marissa : No . I ll get my own way home . [ Cries after J.R. leaves ]
Marissa : Krystal , I need you ! It s J.R. ! It s over !
David : What happened ?
Marissa : David ?
David : Yes . Tell me what s going on .
Marissa : No , I did nt mean to --
David : Where are you ?
Marissa : Oh , God . I m at Uncle Palmer s beach cottage . But please do nt --
David : All right , stay right there . I m on my way .
Marissa : No .
David : Stay put . You hear me ? I m coming now .
Greenlee : Who was that ?
David : I have to go .
Madison : You do nt have to tell me how dangerous David is . I had firsthand experience .
Ryan : Yes . Yes , it s because of what he s done to you , because of what he s done to so many women that I got to do this .
Madison : Ok , but he s not the only threat here , Ryan . You are barely out of the hospital .
Ryan : I know . I know .
Madison : Do you ? Do you ? An aneurysm is not a joke , Ryan . I just do nt want you getting so caught up in all this Greenlee drama that you put your own health at risk .
Ryan : It s not --
Madison : Ok , sorry . Drama was probably the wrong word . I know that what s happening to Greenlee is very real .
Ryan : That s not what I was gon na say . Look , I told you about my childhood , right , about growing up with an abusive father ? So when I see a situation like this , when I see somebody getting hurt like this , I ca nt help it .
Madison : Yeah . You have to step in . I know . It s how I met you . I was lost , was terrified and completely alone . If it had nt been for you and Erica -- I m an idiot .
Ryan : What ? Why ?
Madison : Well , going off on you . And for what ? I mean , this ? All of this ? Who am I kidding ? This is why I love you . I do nt suppose you were wearing earmuffs just now ?
Ryan : Uh - uh . Sorry .
Madison : You probably ca nt tell because I look so calm on the outside , but in my mind I m screaming , Kill me now .
Ryan : Madison , it s ok .
Madison : Worst timing in the world . I did nt mean to say that , the L word . But I did , so I guess that s out there , and I love you . Oh , my God , I said it again . But I do , Ryan , for your compassion and your conviction . You are an honest to goodness hero .
Ryan : Ok , let s not go overboard .
Madison : I m not , though . That s the crazy part . Do nt worry . I m -- we are not gon na have one of those awkward moments where I just stand here holding my breath , waiting for you to say it back . Seriously , I do nt expect anything from you .
Ryan : I appreciate you saying that , really , except there is something that I really would like to get off my chest . That is that I m done looking back .
Madison : Really ?
Ryan : Yes . Really . The future is all there is .
Madison : And this future you speak of , any idea what it looks like ?
Ryan : Hmm . Nope . No idea , except that I m pretty sure it s got a whole lot of this .
Ryan : It s open .
J.R. : Scott ? ! Oh , hey , bud .
A.J. : No one s home except for me and Lucretia .
J.R. : Wedding over already ?
A.J. : I do nt know . Maybe .
J.R. : Maybe ? I thought it was gon na be here .
A.J. : Emma said they moved it to the park .
Justice : Today we have re - gathered here in this place of natural beauty in celebration of Annie and Scott . By their commitment to marry each other , they are saying yes to love , to faithfulness , to family .
Scott : Yeah ? Ok . Here goes nothing . Annie --
Annie : Can you hold on one second ?
Scott : Yeah . Of course .
Annie : Just hold that thought , ok ? Hey , sweetheart , come here . Tell me the truth . Is this not what you want ? Because you seem sad , and you know Scott and I would never want to do something that would make you sad .
Emma : I wanted to be flower girl , but I do nt have any flowers .
Annie : Oh . Oh ! Ha ! Well , I know how to fix that . You know what ? I saw some beautiful flowers over there before . How about I pick you some , ok ? Five minutes ? Our flower girl needs a bouquet .
Scott : Take all the time you need .
Annie : I ll be right back . Can you hold this for Mommy ? Ok . I ll be back .
Marissa : I did nt mean to call you .
David : Some things happen for a reason . Tell me what happened .
Marissa : No . Listen , I do nt need you here right now , ok ? This is hard enough .
David : You said something about J.R. Did he do something to you ? Because , I swear , if he hurt --
Marissa : Ok , this is exactly why I did nt want you here . Please , just go . I will call a cab .
David : I am not gon na leave you alone right now .
Marissa : I ll be fine !
David : You re not fine , Marissa . Let your father take you home .
Marissa : No .
David : All right , I tell you what . We either go home right now or we stay here all day . The choice is yours .
Marissa : Fine . But no talking and no questions , because I ca nt -- I ca nt --
David : Whatever happened , I am sorry --
Marissa : Do nt touch me .
J.R. : Annie ? Are you and Scott --
Annie : No . Not yet . I came to pick flowers for Emma . Everybody s waiting for me ! What are you doing here ? !
J.R. : It s not what you think .
Annie : You know how much this means to me . I am finally , finally getting everything I ve ever wanted . And you show up in the middle of my wedding ?
J.R. : I m not trying to hurt you .
Annie : I m not doing this .
J.R. : Look at me . Look me in the eye . Tell me right here , right now , what you re feeling . Because if you re feeling what I am , it s not too late . Do nt do it , Annie . Do nt marry Scott .
Marissa : I m sorry .
David : You do nt have to apologize .
Marissa : It s just you re kind of the last thing I need right now . This is hard enough .
David : What is ? Marissa , you can talk to me .
Marissa : No , I have been talking to you , David . Talking to you is part of the reason why I m here . I was desperate , and I made some terrible choices , starting with coming to you for help . But -- I m sorry . This is nt your fault . I m not saying --
David : You re not saying much of anything , sweetheart .
Marissa : Because you were nt supposed -- listen , I tried calling Krystal for a reason . The last thing I need right now is to fight with you .
David : That is the last thing I want right now .
Marissa : Ok , then let s just go home . Thank you for offering to drive .
David : I want to offer so much more .
Marissa : You ca nt .
David : Says who ?
Marissa : Me . I say .
David : I missed out on so much of your life , have nt I ? I never got a chance to wipe away your tears , scare monsters from under your bed .
Marissa : If you re looking for a second chance --
David : I was . There s no point , is there ? It s too late .
Ryan : You are the last person that should be here right now , Greenlee .
Greenlee : I had to come . David got some cryptic phone call and rushed out without telling me who it was . I was afraid he d found out what you were doing , so I thought I could intercept him while you were meeting with the mechanic . But where is he ? Did he show ? Is he here ?
Ryan : No , not yet . It s ok . You can come out . It s only Greenlee .
Greenlee : Hi , Madison . You brought backup or --
Madison : No . I crashed the party uninvited , actually .
Ryan : Yeah , she did . She did , which seems to be a little bit of a theme right now .
Madison : You know what ? I should go anyway . But I ll see you later ?
Ryan : Yes , yes .
Madison : Please be careful ?
Ryan : I will . I will . Hey . Thank you for -- I mean , just thank you .
Madison : Anytime .
Ryan : Ok . You ok ?
Greenlee : Yeah . Great . You and Madison seem to be doing well .
Ryan : Yeah . Yeah , we are .
Greenlee : Hanging out a lot . I mean , every time I see you -- whoop ! There she is ! Ha ha !
Ryan : Greenlee --
Greenlee : What ? What ? Too nosy ?
Ryan : No , no .
Greenlee : I just have one more question , then I m done .
Ryan : Ok . Go ahead .
Greenlee : This thing with you and Madison , is it for real ?
Ryan : I -- I think what Madison and I have is starting to get very real .
Greenlee : Why do you sound so surprised ?
Ryan : Well , no , I m not surprised . I just have nt sort of thought of it like that . You know , things have been kind of crazy and -- but like you said , she s always there -- in a good way . She s always there in a great way . She stuck by me when a lot of women would nt have . I m very lucky .
Greenlee : So is she .
Ryan : Are we -- are we cool where we can talk about this ?
Greenlee : Ha ha ! If we got through me marrying David Hayward , I think we can get through this . Do nt you ?
Ryan : Yeah , I think the odds are probably in our favor .
Greenlee : Mm - hmm . It had to be hard .
Ryan : What ?
Greenlee : Having to stand and watch while I made the biggest mistake of my life . But now I m finally gon na make it right , thanks to you . I m so grateful , Ryan .
Ryan : You do nt have to thank me . You re my friend , and you always will be . And above everything else , I just -- I just want you to be happy .
Greenlee : And I want the same for you . And we re on our way , right ? I mean , you with Madison , and me as far away from David as humanly possible .
Ryan : We have a little bit of work to do on that front .
Greenlee : No , I do . I have work to do . You should get out of this . You should go , live your life .
Ryan : Hey , I m gon na say this one more time , ok ? I will do whatever I have to do for as long as I have to do it to make sure that you are out of this marriage , ok ? You can count on me .
Greenlee : I know I can . I d thank you , but you told me not to , so -- ok , I should get going before this mechanic shows up .
Ryan : If he shows up . I m gon na text him .
Greenlee : Hey , I know Madison already said it , but it does nt hurt to hear again .
Ryan : I ll be careful .
Greenlee : Good . He was here , the mechanic .
Ryan : What do you mean , was ?
Greenlee : I went into the hall . I saw a man , and he saw me come out , and he ran .
Ryan : Damn it .
Madison : I can do this . I can do this , as long as I do nt poison anybody . Huh .
Marissa : You did nt have to walk me to the door .
David : I thought I d stick around while you check on A.J. Ok , you know , if you d like , I could arrange for a room over at the club .
Marissa : Listen , I know you re trying to help , I really do , and I appreciate it . But right now , I just have to figure this out on my own .
David : Understood .
Marissa : You really want to make things better for me ?
David : You know I do .
Marissa : Then please leave . Because I just -- I have to think , and to do that , I need everything toxic out of my life : You and J.R.
David : Is that how you really feel about me ?
Marissa : Oh , God , I do nt know how I feel about anything right now , David . That is part of the problem .
David : Well , I guess I m a big part of the problem , too .
Ryan : He s gone .
Greenlee : Are you ok ?
Ryan : Yeah , I m fine . I m fine . By the time I got to him , he was in his car . I got the license plate number . I m gon na write it down .
Greenlee : This is all my fault . Our one chance to nail David , and I blew it .
Ryan : We re gon na have another chance . Do nt worry .
Greenlee : How , Ryan ? He saw me . And if he saw you , he s gon na call David and tell him we were together . If anything happens to you --
Ryan : Just take it easy , ok ? He did nt see me . He did nt see me , ok ? He did nt . First of all , he did nt see me . Second of all , I do nt even know if this plan would ve worked . I have no idea . So do nt get all doomsday on me , ok , because you did nt ruin anything . We do nt know .
Greenlee : I just wanted this to be over .
Ryan : It will be over . We just need a little bit more time , that s all . Ok ? Hey . Can you handle this ?
Greenlee : Yes .
Ryan : If you ca nt , it s ok .
Greenlee : No , I m gon na keep pretending with David . I ve gotten this far , right ? What s a little longer ?
Ryan : Are you sure ?
Greenlee : Yeah . I should get going . And I ll let you know if the mechanic makes contact with him .
Ryan : Hey . It s my turn now . Be careful .
Greenlee : Always .
Emma : You make Mommy happy . I can tell .
Scott : Yeah ? I hope so . You know what I also hope ? I hope that I make you happy , too .
Emma : Well , I m happy right now .
Scott : Then I guess we re off to a pretty good start , are nt we ?
Emma : [ Whispering ] Hey , I need to go potty .
Anya : Right now ? Well , we ca nt leave now . The ceremony s about to start .
Emma : [ Normal voice ] But I have to go .
Scott : Oh . Oh , you know what ? It s ok . We re in no rush . You , your mom , and me -- we got all the time in the world .
Annie : I do nt understand . Are you trying to torture me ?
J.R. : No .
Annie : Are you trying to make me feel insecure at a time when I ve never been more confident in my life ?
J.R. : That s not what I m trying to do .
Annie : We promised to leave each other alone , so you could rebuild your life with Marissa , and I could begin my life with Scott . Remember ?
J.R. : Yes . Yes , but things changed .
Annie : What things ?
J.R. : Marissa and I are done .
Annie : What ? When ?
J.R. : Just now .
Annie : I do nt -- why ? No , you do nt get to do that . You do nt get to say something like that and then not explain yourself .
J.R. : I do nt want to make any more mistakes , ok ? We ve already made enough .
Annie : Yes , like sleeping together in the first place .
J.R. : No -- I mean yes -- at the time ! But if we had nt done that , I would ve never figured it out .
Annie : Figured what out ?
J.R. : We re with the wrong people , Annie . We spent all this time fighting this pull , wondering what the hell s wrong with us .
Annie : So ?
J.R. : So the answer s nothing . I do nt belong with Marissa , and you do nt belong with Scott . You belong with me .
Madison : Hey !
Ryan : Hey . Wow ! Wow . What a welcome .
Madison : I was worried . I m so glad you re ok . I was so worried that I tried to distract myself with cooking . Oh . Sorry .
Ryan : You -- wow . You look --
Madison : A hot mess ? Yeah , I know . Just wait till you see dinner . I m a work of art in comparison .
Ryan : No , no . Actually , I was gon na say you look sexy .
Madison : Liar .
Ryan : I m not lying , I m serious . The flour on the apron , the whole deal -- it s really working for you .
Madison : You have no idea what you re signing up for here .
Ryan : I think I do .
Greenlee : Everything ok ? You ran out of here before like the moon was on fire .
David : Marissa was having a crisis .
Greenlee : Oh . Is she all right ?
David : No . All I wanted to do was be there for her , help her . Turns out all I m good for is a ride .
Greenlee : I m sorry .
David : Ahh . You know , sometimes , huh , it feels like I have absolutely no one . [ Sighs ]
Greenlee : You have me .
A.J. : But you just got back .
Marissa : I know . But I think that it s best for everyone right now if I stay at your nana s for a while . I love you , A.J. , so much . And no matter what , no matter where I am , I will always be there for you , even if I m not in this house . Do you understand ? I will always be your mom .
Annie : Are you really that terrified of being alone ? Come on , J.R. , look at the timing . You and Marissa decide to call it quits , so you come running after me ? Just because the two of you could not make things work does not mean that I should walk away from Scott .
J.R. : I know that this seems crazy .
Annie : Seems crazy ? I m about to get married ! And I am in the middle of putting together a bouquet for my daughter . So if you ll excuse me --
J.R. : You do nt know everything , Annie .
Annie : Ok , J.R. So then tell me . What do nt I know ?
J.R. : I do nt want to hurt you . You ve been through so much already .
Annie : Ok , you are officially starting to freak me out .
J.R. : Scott s not the man you think he is .
Annie : What does that mean ? Just say it , J.R. What do nt I know about Scott ?
Scott : If you re gon na hear this , you re gon na hear it from me . I did the one thing that I thought I would never do . I was with somebody else , Annie .
Annie : You slept with someone ?
J.R. : Not just someone .
Annie : No . Not -- you and Marissa ?
Scott : I am so sorry .
Annie : Is this some kind of a joke ?
Scott : The night Marissa saw you two at the beach house , she came home and --
Annie : You son of a bitch .
Scott : Annie , just -- ohh !

Amanda : Sorry .
J.R. : Are you kidding me ? I was a wreck before you got here . Thank you .
Amanda : You re welcome .
J.R. : So why did you come here ?
Amanda : It s Christmas Eve . I did nt want you to be alone . Truth -- I did nt want to be alone . I try and stay positive and think about the good things I have , but there really are nt any .
J.R. : Oh , come on . That s not true .
Amanda : I used to have Fusion . Now I m Erica s slave . Boyfriend dumped me , used to have money -- oh , my God . I m such a jerk . I m complaining about my stupid life when you --
J.R. : No , it s ok .
Amanda : I would just give anything to have , you know , like a big , normal , happy Christmas with all my family .
J.R. : Yeah , I wanted that , too . When Babe and I got engaged , I had -- well , I guess you d call it a vision . We were in San Diego in the future , and I m sitting at the head of the dinner table , and I could see my kids and my wife , and for the first time , I feel it . I m happy . I guess some things are nt meant to be .
Amanda : It ll get easier . Look , I do nt want to cut in on your time with Little A. It s just hanging out with you guys lately has been so nice .
J.R. : Well , then stay .
Amanda : Are you sure I would nt be in the way ?
J.R. : Absolutely . Look , I ca nt offer you a suite , but the couch is all yours if you want it .
Amanda : Oh , the couch sounds fantastic . You know , normally I feel bummed out , I go shopping , read the gossip mags , and I feel better . But for Christmas , nothing works . There s nowhere to hide from the loneliness .
Amanda : Uh , repeat after me . Amanda , shut up .
J.R. : Amanda , shut up , so I can thank you for coming here , and listen , make yourself at home . I m going to go get the mountain of presents I got for Little Adam . Ok ?
Krystal : What the hell are you doing in my house ?
David : I was checking in on you . Are you so exhausted you do nt remember that I was helping you with --
Krystal : I m fine .
David : It s Christmas Eve . The first without our daughter . I m sorry . I -- I was nt doing well , and I thought maybe you were feeling the same , which you were . So when I came by , your door was unlocked , the place was a mess , and so were you .
Krystal : Yeah , I -- you gave me a glass of milk .
David : Right . You could barely keep your eyes open , so I carried you upstairs , and I helped you into bed .
David : Am I that exciting ?
Krystal : Oh , just -- it s just so funny . I mean , here I was walking around all day yesterday on edge and then you hand me another glass of --
David : Hmm .
Krystal : Drugs . You ve been putting drugs in my milk .
David : What ?
Krystal : That s why -- that s why you re the only one who could make me feel good . It was nt some connection . It was your stash .
David : Hey , calm down , ok ?
Krystal : Every single time -- yeah , right -- calm down . Right , you want me to be calm and relaxed so that you can , what ? What were you going to do ?
David : Nothing .
Krystal : You -- you were upstairs in my room . You were taking my clothes off . If the phone had nt -- had nt been ringing --
David : No , no , no , no , no , wait a minute . Wait -- that is not true .
Krystal : Get out , get out .
David : Krystal , wait a sec --
Krystal : Get out of my house !
Singer : You once I knew but could nt find unwritten lies I can hear the silent song fall apart a rhythm starts and slowly opens my eyes after so long I know I m alive when you re raging like a river through my veins you re the cure if only I can meet you in the rain at my door lose myself so I can find you I believe you are the cure
Krystal : I defended you to Tad , to J.R. , even to Adam , and they were right . You have been working me this entire time .
David : That is not true .
Krystal : You used the death of our daughter to manipulate me .
David : No , wait a minute . That -- I ve never used Babe .
Krystal : You are a liar .
David : Have I been making any moves on your family ? Have I done anything to undermine your trust ?
Krystal : Is that a joke ?
David : I was helping you .
Krystal : You were drugging me !
David : Krystal , what have you been asking for this entire time , begging for ? You wanted something to calm you down so you could sleep , right ? Well , that s exactly what I gave you , and it worked .
Krystal : Right , right , you did this so that I could get rest .
David : Why else would I do it ?
Krystal : To get inside my head . To make me think about you , and now I -- now I ca nt stop ! And I know why now .
David : No , no .
Krystal : It was those damn drugs .
David : No , Krystal , it s not the drugs . They do nt create your thoughts . You do .
Krystal : Oh , right , right , and so now , all of the sudden , you re on my brain 24/7 .
David : If you re thinking about me all the time , dreaming of me all the time , that s your desires , Krystal , plain and simple . Because you want me just as much as I want you .
Amanda : Well , those will keep him busy till next Christmas .
J.R. : Yeah , I know . I forgot to lock the car . Oh , no .
Amanda : What is it ?
J.R. : The shell -- I have a hole in my pocket . I must have dropped it somewhere .
Amanda : A shell ?
J.R. : Yeah , Little Adam picked up a shell in San Diego . Babe said it was a magic shell and that it would protect her .
Amanda : Oh , that s so sweet .
J.R. : Right before the tornado hit , she gave the shell to Little Adam . He thinks it saved his life .
Amanda : Oh , God .
J.R. : And now he wants me to keep it -- keep me safe . He s going to freak if I do nt find it . Oh , no . Well , do nt just stand there . Help me find it .
Amanda : Oh , all right . Oh , listen , I mean , it s not a big deal . If you do nt find it , you just get another one .
J.R. : That shell is my son s last connection to his mother . He thinks it s protecting his only parent that s alive . What is he going to do if it s gone ?
Amanda : Ok , you need to retrace your steps .
J.R. : The car .
Amanda : Go , go .
J.R. : I ca nt see anything out there . I need a flash light .
Reese : Rules are rules .
Bianca : Oh , come on . We can make one exception .
Reese : No way . Well , ok . I mean -- but if the kids ask , I m telling them you made me .
Bianca : Ok , fine , fine . It s all right with me . So it s not a chair , but I think you re really going to like it .
Reese : Seriously ?
Bianca : We re both brides - to - be , so I thought we should both have rings . I hope you do nt think it s too much .
Reese : It s perfect .
Bianca : Really ? Oh , honey .
Bianca : Reese Williams , will you marry me ?
Reese : Yes .
Greenlee : What now ?
Ryan : Everything changes .
Greenlee : Uh - oh .
Ryan : No , in the best possible way .
Greenlee : What do you mean ?
Ryan : Well , I had a conversation with Annie s doctor , and she made me realize that I ve been coming by the situation completely wrong . Totally wrong . Annie needs doctors and medication right now , and I thought that she needed me to be around . You know , that that would help her , and that was wrong . And I also thought that me staying away from you would help Emma , and that was wrong . She s needed somebody in her life , she s needed a woman , and you ve been there for her .
Greenlee : I know how much a little girl needs her mommy s attention and affection and support , and so I thought that if I could give Emma just a little bit of what she s been missing , I could kind of be helping Annie in some way .
Ryan : Thank you .
Greenlee : So no regrets ?
Ryan : I want two things in my life . I want happiness for my kids and happiness for you . And I -- I thought that it had to be one or the other , but now I know that I can have both .
Ryan : I am not getting that .
Greenlee : What if it s Emma calling from Opal s ?
Ryan : To see if Santa remembered her unicorn ?
Greenlee : Mm - hmm .
Ryan : Ok . Am I close ?
Greenlee : Over there , over there . There you go .
Ryan : It s Oak Haven . Hello ? How is she ?
Dr. Sinclair : We pumped her stomach . She s going to be fine .
Ryan : How -- how did this happen ?
Dr. Sinclair : All we can say is that somehow Annie got her hands on a large quantity of pills .
Ryan : Somehow ? So , what -- you make a habit of leaving pills lying around -- medication lying around that patients can just help themselves ?
Dr. Sinclair : I assure you , we will get to the bottom of this .
Ryan : Yes , you re right . You will . I want to see her .
Dr. Sinclair : I m afraid that s not possible .
Ryan : Why not ?
Dr. Sinclair : Because she needs her rest .
Ryan : And because you think I should stay away from her , right ?
Dr. Sinclair : Mr. Lavery , now is not the time .
Ryan : I m actually impressed that somebody took the time to call me and let me know that this was happening .
Dr. Sinclair : Actually , they contacted you without consulting me .
Ryan : My wife is here because experts say that this is the best place for her . This is the place where she will get the help that she needs . Do you call that help ?
Dr. Sinclair : What happened tonight was a terrible accident .
Ryan : There s not supposed to be any accidents . You re supposed to keep her safe .
David : Admit it . You want me .
Krystal : You make me sick .
David : If that were true , then why do you keep ending up on my doorstep ?
Krystal : Oh , like an addict -- like a junkie ? Is that what you wanted to do ?
David : No , no .
Krystal : No , you wanted me to become an addict . You did , so that I could nt stay away .
David : No , Krystal . It was a mild sedative . It s perfectly safe . You re not hooked on drugs . It s your feelings , and that s good .
Krystal : I m just such a damn fool . I was a fool . Oh , God . You have been playing me since the day you slithered into this town , and it is going to end .
David : Oh , really ? Ok , fine . Look me in the eye right now and tell me to go . Go ahead . Do it . Do it , and I m gone .
Krystal : Damn you . I wish I never laid eyes on you .
David : Wait a minute , wait a minute . Listen to me . You re scared . I understand that . You did nt see this coming , but it s here now . Ok ? So do nt deny it . Do nt deny yourself .
Krystal : No , no , go , go . Go away , go away .
David : All right , you know something ? Listen to me . Adam was exciting but evil , right ? Tad s safe but boring . Why would you settle when you have a man right in front of you who would give you anything that you want ?
Krystal : You know what I want ? I want Babe . I want Babe to walk through that door . Can you give me that ? Then you have nothing I want .
David : When Babe was born , I was nt ready to be a father . But I am now , and it s too late . I can never hold our child in my arms again , but I can hold you , Krystal . All you have to do is say yes .
Krystal : No .
David : Ok , all right , fine . Listen , let s say I disappear . What are you going to do ? What then ? What , are you going to suffer in silence ? You re going to wake up every morning trapped in the wrong house , the wrong marriage , the wrong life --
Krystal : Stop , stop , stop -- stop saying those things . It s not fair .
David : Fair ? Are you kidding ? What , you want fair ? Leora died before she took her first steps . And then Babe -- Babe leaving behind a beautiful little boy like little A -- is that fair ?
Krystal : No , I can not talk about this . I do nt want to talk about it right now .
David : All right , ok . You re right , I m sorry . We should nt be fighting . Christmas is hard enough as it is .
Krystal : Oh , God , I hate Christmas . I hate Christmas . I hate these ornaments !
David : Oh , believe me , I know .
Krystal : I hate this tree !
David : Krystal , take it easy .
Krystal : And I hate you .
David : Oh , take it easy .
Krystal : I hate you most of all . Get out of my house !
David : All right , stop ! All right , fine . I m going .
Krystal : No . No , David , wait . You wait .
Amanda : Maybe it will turn up in the morning , like a Christmas miracle .
J.R. : Miracles ? There s no such thing . If there were miracles , my son would have a mother . So you either help me look for it or you keep your damn mouth shut . I m sorry . I just -- I need Babe . She would know what to do . She was an amazing mother . I m just -- I m a horrible father .
Zach : Yeah . And then Joseph filled the manger with fresh hay . And Mary took the Baby Jesus and wrapped him up in a soft , clean cloth , and put him down to sleep . See ? Baby Jesus had a mother and father who loved him , too . Just like you . You know what I forgot ? I forgot your water . I ll be right back , ok ?
Kendall : Baby boy . Give Mom a kiss . Yeah .
Reese : My fiancé has impeccable taste .
Bianca : Well , as does mine .
Reese : Oh , my .
Reese : Can you imagine ? This time next year , we re going to be an old , married couple .
Bianca : No , that s good . That s great .
Zach : Yes , that s good , and Kendall will be home , and we ll all be together for Christmas . Do me a favor . Do nt be waving this stuff around so much because she s going to expect something , and I do nt --
Bianca : Oh , so you mean we should nt do this -- this move right here ?
Reese : Probably not . Probably not like this one either .
Zach : Because she has a very , very sparkling personality , and I do nt want to take away from that with any kind of thing .
Bianca : Mm - hmm , I see . Well , that s sweet --
Zach : Mm - hmm .
Bianca : But you are going to have to buy her something really nice .
Reese : Yeah , really nice .
Kendall : You tell him , Binks .
Reese : I do nt know what it is . Maybe it s the Christmas spirit , or maybe it s the wine , I do nt know , but there s a real feeling of hope around here .
Bianca : Maybe we got a guardian angel .
Zach : Yeah . To hope .
Reese : To hope .
Amanda : J.R. , I think I have something that might help .
J.R. : Ok , if you want to have a drink , go right ahead . You do nt have to announce it , ok ?
Amanda : It s not for me .
J.R. : What are you doing ?
Amanda : Look , I meant what I said at ConFusion . No one would blame you . No one would even have to know . It ll be our secret .
J.R. : Are you out of your mind ?
Amanda : Look , you want to find the shell , right ? But you ca nt because you re so stressed out . So you just have a drink , even just some of it to take the edge off . You can calm down and focus . It s all right . You d be doing it for Little A.
Krystal : I thought you were my friend . I thought you were the only person who understood me .
David : I am . And I do .
Krystal : That s another big lie .
David : No , no . Everything you re feeling , I m feeling , too . You have to believe at least that .
Krystal : I will never believe another word you say .
David : Krystal , let me help you . I know how much it hurts . We ca nt have Babe . But her parents -- the two people who loved her the most -- we can have each other .
Krystal : No .
David : We should have each other .
Krystal : No , no .
David : Do nt be afraid . Say it . Say what you re really feeling . You re in love with me . Come on .
Krystal : I hate you ! Oh ! I hate you ! I hate you ! I hate you ! I hate you ! I hate you ! I hate you !
Greenlee : No , if Ryan s with the doctor , do nt interrupt . Thanks .
Annie : Here we go . You have no idea how do use this , do you ?
Ryan : I got it , I got it .
Annie : Say , Hi , Daddy .
Ryan : Do nt move .
Annie : Come on , come on . Ready ? All right , here we go .
Ryan : Quick , quick , quick .
Ryan and Annie : One , two , three .
All : Merry Christmas !
Ryan : Whoo !
Annie : Good job .
Ryan : Kisses , kisses , kisses .
Ryan : Merry Christmas .
Annie : Good girl . Merry Christmas . Say Hi . Say Hi . Wave to the camera .
Dr. Sinclair : I apologize for what happened tonight , but as far as Annie s treatment goes , I stand by my recommendation .
Ryan : I m sorry , but I do nt take anything you say seriously anymore . How can I ?
Dr. Sinclair : Every time she sees you , she gets upset and confused . It hinders her progress . And who knows ? Maybe your visits have something to do with why she took the pills .
Ryan : Ok , now this is my fault , too ? Is that what --
Dr. Sinclair : No , no , no . This is no one s fault . And this is a top - notch facility . Annie s time here will be beneficial , if you allow us to do our jobs .
Ryan : What do I tell my daughter ?
Dr. Sinclair : She does nt have to know about this .
Ryan : No . In the morning , when she s opening presents , when she asks why her mommy is nt there to watch , what do I tell her then ? And the morning after that ? And the morning after that ? I need an answer . You need to get Annie well so I can give my daughter an answer . And the answer is , Mommy will come home when she s well , not Mommy overdosed in a hospital .
Bianca : How s Ian ?
Zach : He s all right . He thought he heard Santa on the roof . What ?
Reese : We were just thinking that --
Bianca : You know , you should go to the hospital , Zach . You should be with Kendall tonight .
Zach : There s no need . Kendall s right here with us . I can feel it .
J.R. : 390 days .
Amanda : What ?
J.R. : That s how long I ve been sober . When I lost Babe , I wanted to do anything to kill the pain . You know , not feel , not think . Maybe you re right . Maybe she would nt mind . Maybe she d understand .
Amanda : Ok , this was a bad idea . This was a bad idea .
Ryan : Greenlee ?
Nurse : I ll be back later to check on you .
Aidan : Hey , Annie . How are you ?
Annie : Aidan , what are you doing here ?

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Stephanie : What else ?
Max : [ Grunts ] You know , this is completely crazy . The deeper we get into this , the more , I think , there s a hell of a lot less to salvage .
Stephanie : Well , I still say we can do it . If we rebuild the engine , replace the fuel lines , front suspension , exhaust manifold , the rest is pretty much bodywork .
Max : Oh , you make it sound so simple . I do nt quite get why you re doing this .
Stephanie : Doing what ?
Max : Helping me -- the competition .
Stephanie : Well , maybe I do nt see you as competition .
Max : Oh , thanks .
Stephanie : [ Chuckles ] I m kidding .
Max : I m not so sure .
Stephanie : Seriously , this is fun for me . There s nothing I love more than a challenge .
Max : That s what I -- I get that about you .
Stephanie : Plus , I know how much this car means to you , but God knows why .
Max : Excuse me ? What was that ?
Stephanie : You said yourself she s been unpredictable the last few races ..
Max : Yeah , but , Stef , I ve poured my blood , my tears , and my sweat into this thing . I pretty much built this car from scratch . I m just a tiny bit attached to it .
Stephanie : You know what I think ? I think race cars are a lot like relationships -- sometimes they can turn out to be more trouble than they re worth .
Abby : Thanks for waiting for me .
Chelsea : No problem . How s your dad ?
Abby : He s still pretty out of it , but he s hanging in there . Hopefully this new trial drug is working .
Chelsea : It ll work , Abby . I know it will . Hey , if there s one thing we all know about your dad , it s he s a survivor , right ? I mean , seriously , I m surprised he s not in the Guinness Book of World Records after everything he s been through .
Abby : You know , you re right . He s gon na get better and [ Sighs ] hopefully he will .
Chelsea : He will . You ready to go ?
Abby : Yeah , um , I m just gon na go say goodbye to my mom .
Chelsea : Okay , take your time . I still have to figure out a way to get Max to forget about Mrs. Goodwrench . That s it .
Lexie : She still here ?
Frankie : Yeah . She has nt left his side .
Lexie : She must be exhausted .
Frankie : She s barely had anything to eat .
Lexie : Hmm . That s not good .
Frankie : No . I just wish there was something I could do .
Lexie : Maybe there is . Follow me .
Maggie : All right . Well , I think Sami is gon na be very impressed . You ve got her favorite flowers and her favorite music and her favorite dinner and champagne .
Austin : And dessert .
Maggie : Oh , right , the most important thing .
Austin : All right , thank you . Thank you so much .
Maggie : Oh , are nt you sweet ?
Austin : I could not have done this without your help .
Maggie : Well , you called the right person . I just happen to be very good at drumming up special romantic dinners .
Austin : You think she s really gon na like this ?
Maggie : Well , if she does nt like it , there s something wrong with her . And then , again , you know what ? I m not gon na go there . If you love Sami and Sami loves you , that s all that matters .
Austin : Oh , excuse me . I m sorry .
Maggie : Oh , sure .
Austin : Hello ?
Carrie : Austin , it s Carrie .
Austin : Carrie , perfect timing . I m just about ready . You and Lucas can come up any time .
Carrie : Actually , that s why I m calling . I do nt think that we ll be able to make it .
Austin : Oh , I m sorry to hear that . Is everything all right ?
Carrie : Yeah , um , Lexie just called and asked Lucas and me to come down to her office . She just wants to go over my test results .
Austin : There is nt a problem , is there ? The baby s okay ?
Carrie : We have nt seen her yet . I m sure the baby s fine .
Austin : But she could nt tell you over the phone ?
Carrie : You know , I think she just wanted to make sure that I was all right . I m sorry if we spoiled your evening with Sami .
Austin : No , you did nt spoil anything . I just want you and the baby to be okay .
Carrie : We re fine . I ve never felt better . I promise .
Austin : Good , well , maybe you can join us for dessert later .
Carrie : That sounds great . We ll be there . Bye .
Maggie : Austin , is everything okay ?
Austin : I hope so .
E.J. : You look beautiful .
Sami : Thank you . E.J. , you look very handsome yourself . I do nt know why I bothered to get dressed up . This night is nt gon na happen .
E.J. : Why would you say that ?
Sami : Oh , come on , you know it , too . As soon as Austin finds out what I have done , he s not gon na want to have anything to do with me .
E.J. : Samantha , listen to me . Listen to me . If Austin ca nt forgive you for whatever you ve done , then he does nt deserve you .
Like sands through the hourglass , so are the Days of our Lives .
Sami : That s very sweet of you , E.J.
E.J. : I was nt saying it to be sweet . I meant that .
Sami : But I do nt know if you would mean that still if you knew what I had done .
E.J. : It does nt matter what you ve done . If Austin loves you ... and I know that he does , if you come forward and you tell him the truth , he s going to be able to find a way to forgive you .
Sami : The truth .
E.J. : Yes , the truth . You remember the thing that s gon na set you free ?
Sami : Whoever said that does nt know me and certainly does nt know what I m capable of .
E.J. : We all make mistakes .
Sami : Not like mine .
E.J. : Look , I ve made plenty of mistakes , serious ones . One in particular , you know .
Sami : What ? Do you mean about the woman that you told me about from England , the one that you loved so much ?
E.J. : I should never have let her go .
Sami : You said that she chose to pursue her career rather than being with you .
E.J. : But I ca nt help but feel that if I d fought for her , really fought for her ... maybe things would have worked out okay . Maybe we d still be together . And that s why I think it s so important that you have to fight for Austin , because if you do nt come forward and tell him the truth and he finds out that you ve lied , you really do nt have a chance .
Sami : You do nt understand . You re preaching to the choir . I am all for fighting for the man that I want to be with . I just have to find a way to make Austin understand what I did . I do nt want to lose him to Carrie .
Austin : Oh , my .
Sami : Austin .
Austin : Just when I thought you could nt get more beautiful . You look amazing .
Sami : Thank you .
Austin : Amazing .
Sami : You told me tonight was special , so I ...
Austin : Well , something tells me that this is gon na be a night that neither one of us will ever forget .
Sami : I bet you re right .
E.J. : Look , maybe I should give you guys a little --
Austin : No , no . [ Laughs ] No , I m sorry . I m sorry , do nt go . Do nt go . I m just -- Sami took my breath away .
E.J. : Yes , she -- she has that effect . You sure you do nt want me to just leave you for a few minutes ?
Austin : No , no , no , no . No , everything is all set . I invited you to join us tonight , and I am ready . It s time .
E.J. : Great .
Austin : Are you ready , Samantha ... for your big surprise ?
Sami : Yeah , I ve been dying to find out what it is .
Austin : Then let s go .
Sami : Um ... before we go , I have to talk to you about something important and it s about Carrie .
Lexie : Hi , Carrie , Lucas . Sorry to have kept you waiting .
Lucas : That s fine , Lexie . You have other patients .
Carrie : Lexie ... please tell me that everything s okay , there s not some kind of problem with the baby ?
Lexie : I am so sorry .
Max : Are you talking about Chelsea and me ?
Stephanie : I did nt say that .
Max : You did nt have to .
Stephanie : Look , it s not my place .
Max : Stef , you have nt seen the best side of her yet .
Stephanie : I hope not . That would be kind of scary , no offense .
Max : Chelsea s insecure .
Stephanie : Yeah , you mentioned that already .
Max : She s only acting this way because she s jealous , okay ?
Stephanie : Of me ? She says she s not .
Max : Of course she says she s not , but , come on , you re beautiful and smart and -- and strong and self - confident and successful . You re everything she is nt and wants to be .... except for the beautiful part , because she s beautiful , too .
Stephanie : But you re still crazy about her .
Max : What do you want me to say ? I know you re thinking this is all about the beautiful thing .
Stephanie : Well ...
Max : Once you see who she really is , behind all those walls that she s put up -- I do nt know , maybe I enjoy the challenge . But she s not like anyone I ve ever known .
Abby : Maybe I should stay here with dad . You should go home and get some rest .
Jennifer : No , no , I m fine . I m fine . Listen , why do nt you try to relax and go out and have some fun tonight , okay ? Your dad s stable . There s nothing to worry about right now . And besides , you know what ? It s what he would want for you .
Abby : Mom , what about you ? You ve barely slept or eaten or anything .
Jennifer : Honey , I m fine , really . Now , go on . Chelsea is waiting for you , okay ? You can come see your dad in the morning . He s not going anywhere .
Abby : You re gon na call me if you need me ?
Jennifer : Yes , I promise . I love you .
Abby : I love you , too .
Jennifer : Oh , Jack . Our little girl is growing up so fast , and she still needs her daddy . Why is nt this medicine working ? Why are nt you waking up ? Are you just gon na give up on us ?
Frankie : I saw that .
Jennifer : What ?
Frankie : Ooh , sorry . It s time for a break .
Jennifer : No , I ca nt . Abby just left . I do nt want to leave Jack alone .
Frankie : He wo nt be . Your Aunt Maggie said she d sit with him .
Jennifer : Well , that s really sweet of her , but I think I should stay .
Frankie : Jen , if you re gon na be any good to Jack when he wakes up , you need to take better care of yourself and that means you need to get some rest and you need to eat a real meal .
Jennifer : What if he wakes up and he needs me here ?
Frankie : Then she will come and tell us . She ll know exactly where we are .
Jennifer : Where will we be ?
Frankie : Come with me and I ll show you . It wo nt take long , I promise , okay ?
Jennifer : Okay .
Austin : Samantha , I already know about Carrie . She called .
Sami : She called you ?
Austin : Yeah , from the hospital . Lexie said she needed to see her and Lucas right away , so they ca nt come to dinner .
Sami : I hope everything s okay .
Austin : Well , she says she s fine . You know , she told you that Lexie wanted to go over her test results , right ? So , hopefully , they ll make it in time for dessert . But until then , it s just the three of us .
E.J. : Well , Austin , listen , why do nt I leave the two of you alone ? I can let you off the hook .
Austin : No , tonight is a celebration . Carrie and Lucas are gon na be here later , so the more , the merrier , so let s head up to the roof . I do nt want to keep Sami in suspense any longer .
E.J. : Why do nt I go and grab a bottle of champagne and I ll see you up there ?
Austin : You do nt have to do that . I got it all covered .
E.J. : Austin , I insist .
Austin : We ll meet you up there .
E.J. : I wo nt be long .
Austin : We ll get started without him . I think it s better this way .
Sami : Austin , before we go , there s something really important that I have to talk to you about and it ca nt wait .
Austin : I know . But right now , you re gon na come with me , and I wo nt take no for an answer .
Sami : Okay . [ Slow music plays ]
Austin : So , what do you think ?
Sami : Austin ... how in the world did you do this ?
Austin : I m a multitasker . No , I wish I could say I did it all by myself , but I had some help -- Maggie and the staff at Chez Rouge .
Sami : I do nt get it . I mean , why ? What is this all about ?
Austin : I wanted to show you , our friends , and everyone how much you mean to me . And when I said ... this was gon na be a night that we ll never forget , I meant it .
Sami : I still do nt understand .
Austin : You will . This is just the beginning . I have a much ... bigger surprise in store for you . Afterwards , this will all make sense .
Lucas : Lexie , what are you talking about ?
Carrie : Are you saying there s something wrong with the baby ?
Lexie : I am so sorry . I do nt even know how to tell you this . [ Sighs ] There is no baby .
Lucas : There s no baby ?
Carrie : You mean that I lost it ? I miscarried ?
Lucas : She could nt have had a miscarriage . She would have known something happened , right , Lexie ?
Lexie : No , no , she did nt lose the baby . She was never pregnant .
Carrie : What ?
Lucas : She took a test . There must be some mistake . She took a pregnancy test .
Carrie : I followed the directions to the letter . It was definitely positive , Lexie .
Lexie : Unfortunately , what happens sometimes with home - pregnancy tests is that you get a false positive . It s very , very rare , but it can happen .
Carrie : But my period , I have nt had it .
Lexie : Right , well , um , that could be from all the excitement and stress of planning your wedding or finding out , believing you were pregnant . In effect , you had what some refer to as a hysterical pregnancy .
Carrie : Oh , my God . This ca nt be ha-- I called my O.B. s office . They did nt even want to see me until 10 weeks .
Lucas : Honey , do nt worry about it , okay ? If we ca nt have a family , if we ca nt have a baby now , we ll just try again . It ll work out , I promise .
Lexie : [ Clears throat ] Actually ... there s something else I need to discuss with you .
Carrie : What ? What more could there possibly be if I was never really pregnant ?
Lexie : Well , remember , after the appendectomy , we talked about the residual scar tissue from your ruptured ovarian cyst , that it could affect your chances of conceiving and the longer you waited --
Carrie : No . Lexie , do nt tell me that it s too late . Do nt tell me that I ca nt have children .
Max : You re not the first person to wonder what I see in Chelsea .
Stephanie : Oh , I think it s very clear what you see . It is a well - known fact that Max Brady has an eye for cute girls . Girls as in plural , never just one .
Max : All right , whatever you ve heard about me , all these rumors or anything like that , they ... are true .
Stephanie : [ Laughs ] A girl in every city , a trail of broken hearts from Indianapolis to Daytona .
Max : No , that s all done . I m not like that anymore .
Stephanie : Really , because of Chelsea ?
Max : Yeah .
Stephanie : Okay .
Max : What ?
Stephanie : Nothing . It s just ... there must be more to her than meets the eye .
Max : There is . There s a lot more . It s hard to explain , okay ? She s complicated .
Stephanie : Right .
Max : She s been hurt a lot , so she has these major trust issues , but she s not a bad person . She s -- she s like this scared little girl inside , and -- and -- I -- I need -- I do nt know . I m making excuses .
Stephanie : But you love her . That s the bottom line .
Max : Yeah , I love her . There s something about her that makes me want to be a better person . Someday when she s all grown - up , I want to -- I want to marry her .
Stephanie : Wow . That is serious .
Max : Yeah . [ Clears throat ] So , what about you ?
Stephanie : What about me ?
Max : Is there someone special in your life ?
Stephanie : Actually , there is ... or was .
Abby : Okay , Chelsea , so , what s your big plan ? How are you gon na make Max stand up and take notice , as you put it ?
Chelsea : By hooking up with this guy .
Abby : You re serious ?
Chelsea : Mm - hmm .
Abby : Have nt you done that like a million times before ? That s your big plan ? You re gon na make him jealous ?
Chelsea : No , I m not gon na just make him jealous . This time I m gon na make Max see that he s got some serious competition .
Maggie : Jack , you re awake . How are you feeling , sweetheart ?
Jack : Jennifer , she --
Maggie : Uh - uh , Frankie . Frankie took her to get a bite to eat . She s been sitting here with you day and night . I know how thrilled she s gon na be to know that you re awake . I m gon na go get her right now .
Jack : No , no , wait .
Maggie : Why not ?
Jack : She s with Frankie . It s her new husband . It should be their honeymoon .
Maggie : Yeah .
Frankie : We can be alone here . Let me get that .
Jennifer : Okay .
Frankie : I thought you could use a little break .
Jennifer : Thank you . Thank you for always , always taking care of me .
Frankie : There is nt anything I would nt do for you . I love you .
Austin : You really do look incredible tonight .
Sami : Thank you , Austin . I m just trying to figure out what s going on .
Austin : You will find out soon enough . You just have to be patient a little while longer . Oh , E.J. , I m sorry . I did nt see you standing there . Come join the party , whether -- well , there is nt any anyway .
E.J. : Thank you . This is for you . I take it you did nt tell him .
Sami : I will .
E.J. : You better do it fast .
Sami : I know , I know !
Austin : What are you two whispering about ?
E.J. : [ Laughs ]
Sami : It s just that I m trying to figure out what s going on , what you have planned .
Austin : Okay , uh ... excuse me . I forgot something downstairs , okay ? So if you will please excuse me for a moment .
E.J. : Yeah , sure .
Austin : Enjoy your champagne . I ll be back in two minutes . Two minutes .
E.J. : He s quite the romantic , your fiance .
Sami : He is romantic , and he is wonderful , and he is handsome and charming and everything that I have ever wanted or dreamed of . And now I am going to blow it . When he finds out that I am the same horrible , lying , manipulative bitch that he left in Vegas , he s gon na --
E.J. : Samantha , that s not true . And by telling him the truth , you re gon na prove that . The old Sami would nt have done this .
Sami : There is so much more that you do nt even know .
E.J. : Let me tell you what I do know , okay ? I think that your secret somehow involves you keeping Carrie and Austin apart , and the real problem here is that I think that you re afraid that if Austin finds out the truth , he s gon na go back to Carrie . The reality of the situation is , they re over , okay ? Carrie made a choice . She s married to Lucas , and she did that of her own free will , regardless of whatever you may have done . And even if , you know , Austin did want to go back to her , which I do nt believe , the reality of the situation is , it s impossible . She s having a baby with Lucas .
Sami : You re right . You re right . Austin would never break up a family , because he is a good person . And I am not .
E.J. : Will you stop talking about yourself like that , please ? Look at this . Nobody does this unless they re head over heels . Samantha , trust me . You need to get this situation over with before Austin finds out the truth about what has happened before whoever s writing these mysterious notes writes another one , and this time sends it directly to him .
Sami : I know . I know you re right . And I m gon na tell him as soon as he gets back .
Austin : Thank you , God .
Lexie : I am so sorry . I wish I did nt have to tell you this .
Carrie : You said when you found the scar tissue that if I did nt start a family soon , it would be too late . That was nt that long ago , Lexie .
Lexie : I know , I know , but predicting exactly how much time any woman has is impossible , Carrie .
Lucas : Wait a minute . What are you saying , that Carrie ca nt get pregnant , with all the fertility drugs they have -- in vitro ? It worked for Belle and Philip and Shawn and Mimi . Why not us ?
Lexie : Well , those are each very different cases . Look , I am so sorry . I wish I could tell you there was hope , but these test results are very clear . I ve consulted with Dr. Ross and Dr. Bader . I know how badly you want to have a child , Carrie , but based on your hormone levels , your chances of conceiving are less than 1 % .
Abby : Am I missing something ? Did you or did you not promise Max that you d be his girlfriend ?
Chelsea : No , I promised , but I had my fingers crossed just in case .
Abby : Are you in second grade ? Give me a break , okay ? The guy totally commits to you , and you are so insecure that you ca nt trust it , then you start playing games .
Chelsea : Look ... I just do nt want to lose him , okay ?
Abby : You re not gon na lose him , Chelsea .
Chelsea : Abby , it s already started . It s just like I told you -- you commit to a guy . He knows he has you , and then he starts to lose interest .
Abby : He s not losing interest . His race car just got totaled . His whole career could be put on hold . The only thing you re worrying about is him paying attention to you . He has other things on his mind . What is wrong with you ?
Chelsea : Stephanie Johnson is what s wrong with me . Everything was fine here until she showed up .
Abby : Look , they re just friends .
Chelsea : Really ? You think so ? She wants him , Abby . And you think that he does nt notice that ? He likes her , too .
Abby : Not like that .
Chelsea : How could he not ? She s gorgeous , and she s a fellow grease monkey . They have all this stuff in common . They re practically made for each other . And you saw him . He could nt wait to get rid of me at the garage so that they could be alone together .
Abby : She was helping him with his car . At least she knows how much it means to him .
Chelsea : Yeah , I do , too . Believe it or not , I actually care about Max . I should be the one that s there for him .
Abby : Look , if you go through with this plan , you re gon na lose Max for good .
Chelsea : Not if I do it right . Look , according to this article , it says that the number - one way to keep your man interested is to make sure that he s jealous .
Abby : I find that hard to believe .
Chelsea : Well , it s all right there .
Abby : Wow . Maybe you did nt read the sidelines .
Chelsea : What ? What s in them ?
Abby : Well , it also says that it s the number - one way to lose him . It s a dangerous game that could easily backfire . Play at your own risk .
Chelsea : That s just a disclaimer . All they re saying is , is that you have to know how to work it . And I do .
Abby : What are you doing ?
Chelsea : I m just texting Max .
Max : Okay , so ... what s his name ? Is he on the circuit ? Do I know him ? What s going on ?
Stephanie : Ah , saved by the bell . [ Cellphone beeping ] Would you like some privacy ?
Max : No , it s just a text message . Oh , it s from Chelsea . She s down at Dune . And she wants to have a drink .
Stephanie : Why do nt you go ? It s been a long day , and there s not much more we can do here anyway until we get the parts , so ...
Max : Yeah , that s true .
Stephanie : Go on . You know you want to .
Max : What the hell , why do nt you come ? Let me buy you a drink for helping me , please ?
Stephanie : Somehow I do nt think that s what your girlfriend had in mind ..
Max : I do nt care . She s gon na have to deal with me having friends , and some of them are women .
Stephanie : If you re sure .
Max : I m totally sure . Come on .
Stephanie : All right , I accept .
Max : Good , I m gon na let her know that I m on my way . [ Cellphone keys beeping ]
Abby : Max is working on his car . Do you honestly think that he s gon na come down here just because you told him to ? [ Cellphone beeps ]
Chelsea : Actually , yep . That s exactly what he s doing . And when he gets here , I m gon na be prepared .
Jennifer : You ve just been so patient and kind and understanding through all of this , and it has meant so much to me .
Frankie : Do nt thank me .
Jennifer : I want to thank you . We re newlyweds . We have nt had any time alone together , Frankie .
Frankie : Hey , it s okay .
Jennifer : No , it s not okay . Your feelings matter to me . This has been such a difficult situation , and you have not complained once , and I feel like I have just been so selfish through all of this .
Frankie : No , you have nt been selfish .
Jennifer : Frankie , I have been by Jack s bedside day and night . I have barely seen you , and when I do see you , all I talk about is Jack . And I am so thankful that you got him into this trial . I am , and I am praying so hard that it works , but what if it does nt ? What if he never wakes up again ? We could go on like this forever . And what are you gon na do ? Are you gon na wait forever ?
Frankie : I know you love him . I knew it when I married you .
Jennifer : But I also love you . And I m sorry . I m sorry for all of this .
Frankie : Stop , shh . Okay ? It s okay .
Chelsea : Something tells me that you d be a very good dancer , among other things .
Dax : Likewise .
Abby : Chelsea ... I need to talk to you . Excuse us .
Chelsea : Sorry . What do you think you re doing ?
Abby : I said we needed to talk now .
Chelsea : Um , this will just take a minute , okay ? Sorry . What is it ?
Abby : Chelsea , I m not gon na let you do this . You re self - destructing again .
Chelsea : God .
Abby : You know , I m not gon na let you do it to Max , either . He s about to come in here , and the last thing he wants to see is his so - called girlfriend throwing herself at another guy , a stranger in a club .
Chelsea : He is not a stranger . I m sorry , what did you say your name was again ?
Dax : I did nt . It s Dax . And you are ?
Chelsea : Pleasure to meet you , Dax . There , see ? Not strangers . He s Dax , with a D. Anyway , sorry . Where were we ?
Dax : Look , um , before this goes any further , I need to ask you a question .
Chelsea : What s that ?
Dax : Can you tie a cherry stem with your tongue ?
Chelsea : [ Chuckles ] Oh , I can do a lot of things with my tongue , but , no , that s not one of them . Why do nt you show me how ?
Dax : It s been a while , but I ll try .
Chelsea : That s what they all say . Yay . You did it .
Maggie : I thought it might cheer you up to see some of these . You know , Jack Jr. looked so much like Jennifer at first , but now we all think that he looks like your little mini me . [ Laughs ] Oh , here he is . He s taking his first steps . Yeah . Oh , and this was Christmas . You know , Mickey and I took him to see Santa this year . He was nt the least bit scared . Of course , he did try to pull the poor man s beard off . [ Chuckles ] Oh , look , look , look . Now , this is his baseball cap and jersey . Mickey got it for him to celebrate the start of spring training . Now , how cute is that ?
Jack : Let s just hope he does nt have his old man s arm .
Maggie : [ Laughs ] And then , okay . Okay , okay . I think that s enough pictures for now . You need your rest .
Jack : Is there something there you did nt want me to see ?
Maggie : No , nothing .
Jack : It was nt by chance a new picture of Frankie and Jennifer ? It s okay . Really , it s okay . Let me see . Very nice . She looks happy . I m happy for them -- for them both ... especially Jennifer . It looks like she s falling in love . That s what I wanted . That s what I wanted .
Jennifer : What ?
Frankie : No , we should nt do this .
Jennifer : No , I want you . I need to do this , please .
Lucas : Listen to me . Honey , I know -- I know how badly you wanted to have a family , but we can still have that , all right ? We have Will . And we can always adopt . The important thing is we have each other . Whatever happens , we can get through this thing together . [ Cellphone rings ]
Carrie : You should get that .
Lucas : Do nt worry about it . It s just the contractor . I ll call him back .
Carrie : No , you should take it .
Lucas : Honey , please .
Carrie : I ll be okay .
Lucas : All right , fine . I ll be back , okay ?
Carrie : I ca nt believe this is happening .
Lexie : I know . I know . I am so sorry .
Carrie : So am I. I never would have gone through with it . I never would have put Lucas through this if I had known .
Lexie : Carrie , Lucas loves you . This is nt going to change that .
Carrie : It changes everything .
Lexie : You mean you never would have married him if you were nt pregnant ..
Carrie : I accepted Lucas proposal before I took the pregnancy test , but when I started having second thoughts , it was because of the baby ... that I decided to go through with it . I decided my whole future , and Lucas and Austin and Sami , too , on a baby ... that I can never have . Oh , God , Lexie . What have I done ?
E.J. : Look , I promise you , it ll be fine . When Austin comes back , I ll leave , the two of you can talk .
Sami : No , no , you ca nt . I need you .
E.J. : What for ?
Sami : Moral support . And then maybe also you can help Austin see that he has to forgive me .
Austin : Sorry that took so long . I had to , uh ... get dinner in the oven and ... find this .
Sami : Austin .
Austin : I know that I already proposed , but ... I want to make it official .. There was one thing missing , which was a symbol of my love and commitment . Samantha Jean Brady , will you do me the honor of being my wife ?
Sami : No . No , Austin , I ... I would love to , but I ca nt .
Hope : Prove to me you did nt tamper with the evidence that kept Chelsea out of jail . Maybe we can try to work on rebuilding our marriage .
Mimi : Shawn is Claire s biological father .
Billie : You may be cooking dinner for Sami , but you re thinking about Carrie , are nt you ?
E.J. : You ve been through this with Austin before . You can go through it again . If it does nt work out , you know there s going to be a whole line of men to take you out .

### Dialogue:
Mallet : So you were the one that called in the floater ?
Remy : Yeah , I saw him out here , and I brought him on shore , but he was already gone .
Mallet : That s Edmund Winslow .
Natalia : Hi , Olivia , it s me .
Olivia : Really kind of hard here without you .
Jeffrey : It s all real .
Reva : Is it really over ?
Jeffrey : I m going to make sure it is .
Clayton : When have I ever paid late ? You took my credit rating and then get back to me with an apology . Credit card company mix - up .
Remy : Is that about the investment ?
Clayton : I was going to send a check , but I do nt have the funds to .
Reva : Tell Mom yet ?
Clayton : Ca nt . Maybe it s a misunderstanding . I mean , it was an investment . I ll figure it out .
Remy : We ll figure it out , okay ? I m going to get you through this , Dad . And I know you ca nt count on much with me , but you can count on that .
Mallet : Here you go . Back on the detective track , and what do I get ? Edmund Winslow , dead in the water .
Frank : Oh , look at that . You got him smiling .
Mallet : What do you think , Henry ? Talk to me . Who did it , Henry , huh ? Come on , help out your old man . Hmm ?
Frank : Mallet , we do nt know it s murder .
Mallet : Frank , there s no water in the lungs . And need I remind you of everybody in this town ? Should I run down the whole list of everybody that hated that guy ? I mean , think about it . You ve got the entire Lewis family , Jeffrey .
Frank : Dinah .
Mallet : Dinah . Anyway , the list goes on and on . I should just walk out of here , march up the street , and interrogate everybody I run into .
Frank : Go for it . I ll watch him .
Mallet : That s all right . I ll take him with me . Marina will be back soon . She s at a meeting with Christina about a day care center . And I guess Edmund is not going anywhere , right ? He s locked up in the freezer . Okay , buddy . Here you go . You re going to be my partner , all right , you and I. We re going to go look for some answers .
Shayne : Hey .
Josh : Hey .
Shayne : Identified the body . It s Edmund Winslow .
Josh : You okay ?
Shayne : Yeah , I m fine . It s just ... I m making his burial arrangements .
Josh : Are you sure that s something you want to do ?
Shayne : I do nt know . I mean , who else is going to do it ? It would have meant a lot to Lara , so , yeah , I m going to do it .
Josh : You want to go somewhere and talk this through ?
Shayne : Not right now . I ve got a meeting at the funeral home that I have to get to right now .
Josh : You want me to go with you ?
Shayne : I want to do this one by myself , okay ?
Josh : Okay .
Shayne : I ll call you later .
Josh : Okay .
Shayne : All right .
Reva : Hey , you know how much I love the spring ? I mean , look at these colors . The flowers are the most beautiful colors . And do you know that dahlias come in every color but blue ? And when you plant a garden , you have to paint it . You know , it s like painting a picture . You want to see it in your head first . I mean , I know that I m a little late , because spring is nearly halfway over . But what the hell , right ? I know Edmund s dead . I know that . But is there anything I can do about that ?
Jeffrey : No .
Reva : No . Okay . So I m healthy . Our baby s healthy . And do you want to help me plant some petunias ?
Jeffrey : No , actually . I ve got to go to the police to see if they have determined a cause of death .
Reva : Oh , okay . Is Colin down for his nap ?
Jeffrey : Sound asleep . Here you go .
Reva : Okay , thank you . Okay , then , you can go . I love you . Hey , it s me . Can you come over here ?
Josh : I m leaving right now .
Olivia : How is Emma ? You get her off to school okay ?
Natalia : Yeah . No , no problems at all . She was perfect , she was great . She loved being back in the house . She wants to stay .
Olivia : Oh , yeah .
Natalia : We talked a lot about that . I think she really understands why we do nt all live here together like we used to .
Olivia : What did you tell her ?
Natalia : I did nt want to tell her too much .
Olivia : Well , you know , because I was thinking about that while I was gone . And , you know , maybe Emma is right . Maybe we should move back in .
Remy : Where are you going ?
Clayton : Home , to tell your mother . We ve been married a long time . She s seen me through worse . All I ever wanted was to give her a great life .
Remy : You have , Dad . You will . We do nt know the money s gone . I still have a few bucks in my savings account if you need the money , Dad .
Clayton : Son , this was my mistake . I m the one who has to make it right , and I m going to start by being honest with Felicia .
Remy : Mom will understand .
Clayton : That will make one of us . What was I thinking to invest every dime we had in ... I just hope your mother can forgive me , because I sure as hell ca nt forgive myself .
Christina : How is that for timing ? How are you ?
Clayton : I ve been better . See you both later .
Remy : Good luck , Dad .
Christina : What s going on ?
Remy : He s the strongest person I know , and I ve never seen him like this .
Natalia : The time that we spent in this house living together , the three of us , it was everything to me . It was the happiest , most stable family life I have ever had . But , you know , it s different now .
Olivia : Well , different-- different good or different not so good ?
Natalia : You know , what if we re not ready ? Because moving in now means moving in , you know . It means telling Emma , and it means telling Rafe . It means a million different things . And , you know , what if we do nt work ?
Olivia : We do work .
Natalia : Okay , but something could go wrong , and ...
Olivia : And what , we ll have to move out . Because , you know , that s a possibility whenever any two people decide they want to be together . You just have to take that risk . I do nt really want to do that to Emma .
Natalia : Exactly . That s what I mean . I just do nt think that we should jump into anything too soon or take really big chances .
Olivia : You know what ? Wait . You take chances . You took a chance when you quit your waitressing job and came to work with me . You took a chance when you walked away from Frank . You took a chance when you opened the door when I knocked . You take chances . You re a lot older and braver than you give yourself credit for .
Natalia : You know , like , a couple months ago , I would have really argued with you that all my choices are very safe . But you re right . I took the biggest chance of my life when I told you .
Olivia : When you tell me what ?
Natalia : I love you .
Olivia : And ?
Natalia : And I have nt regretted it since .
Jeffrey : Hey , Frank .
Frank : Jeffrey .
Jeffrey : You the lead investigator on the Winslow case ?
Frank : No , I m the lead investigator in about 47 other cases right now . Mallet s your man . But if you re here to confess , I ll take your statement .
Jeffrey : Actually , I m here on official business , Frank . You know , Edmund Winslow was an international figure , and my superiors in Washington ... well , they want some answers .
Frank : Your superior would nt happen to be Reva , would it ?
Jeffrey : No . No , it s a guy who s a few doors down from the president . You know , they asked me to coordinate the investigation , so ...
Frank : You know I have to ask you this because it s my job , but I know you knew Edmund , and you probably would like to have Edmund dead and all that . But your superiors in Washington would nt think that s a conflict of interest ?
Jeffrey : Since when does that matter in this town ? Tell Mallet I stopped by , okay ?
Mallet : Okay , Henry , so the Coroner said that Edmund s body was in the water less than two hours , which is nt very long . And there was no evidence of ropes or anything used to weigh the body down . So this is what I m saying , partner . I m saying that whatever happened to Edmund , it would have had to happen fast . Right ? Check over the notes , give me your opinion . You know what ? I do nt think there s any reason that I ca nt be a papa and a detective at the same time , right ? Come with me . Hey , Shayne . You got a few minutes to talk ?
Shayne : Sure . Sounds like fun .
Josh : You want some help ?
Reva : Oh , no , no , no . I can do this , you know , it s the weeds . They ... they infect and they degrade and they choke the life out of everything around them . And if you do nt kill them first , they kill all the plants that you love so much .
Josh : Where s Jeffrey ?
Reva : He went to town .
Josh : Well , I have to tell you I feel a little strange being here , especially since Jeffrey made it clear he does nt want me around anymore .
Reva : Well , I was going to come to you , but Colin is down for his nap . And I m gardening . Do you know that this is the perfect weather for gardening ? It really is . I mean , this is the best weather . And this weather makes me feel grateful to be alive , does nt it ?
Josh : Well , yeah . I suppose it beats the hell out of lying on a slab in a Coroner s office like somebody else we know . Not that he did nt deserve it , of course .
Reva : Have you seen Shayne ? Is he okay ?
Josh : Yeah , he s handling Edmund s remains .
Reva : Why ?
Josh : I think he feels it s an obligation he has to Lara . I believe , though , that he s having a lot more trouble dealing with this than he s letting on .
Reva : Well , I have to go and see him and see if there is anything I can do to help .
Josh : You have to let me handle this , Reva . Live your life .
Reva : Shayne is my life . So is Marah . So are all my kids . And I d do anything for them . I know you would , too . You know , you beat cancer once , and you feel lucky . You beat it again , and there s a reason for it . That s what I m starting to feel , like there s a reason why I m still around . And it s not just to sit inside the house with a baby while everybody else handles all the tough stuff .
Josh : You do what you have to do .
Reva : Right . Because you know what ? Cancer ... cancer makes you face things , even when you do nt want to . It becomes second nature , you know , you have to act , and you have to be stronger than everyone else . And that does nt change just because your white cell count is normal again .
Josh : You re a survivor .
Reva : I am a survivor . And there s a reason for that , too . I now know that there s a reason why I m still around , and it s because my family needs me . Colin and Jeffrey and Shayne , too . And maybe you , too , just a little bit sometimes . You once called me Indestructible , and I m starting to feel that way . I do nt want to live what life I have left with fear and regret .
Josh : You never have , Reva .
Reva : Oh , I know , I know , I know . But it s even different now . It s more different now . But it s a good thing , it really is . It s a great thing for all of us . ( Colin crying ) Oh , listen to that . Somebody s up . You want to come inside ?
Josh : No , I do nt think so , thank you-- unless there s something else you want to talk about .
Reva : No , I m fine . Thanks for coming by .
Olivia : Edmund Winslow is dead ?
Natalia : Yeah . I thought you knew about that . You were nt exactly friends with him , were you ?
Olivia : No , he was a sad bastard , but I just saw him yesterday .
Natalia : Yesterday ?
Olivia : Yeah , I got back early , and I was going come here , but there was an emergency at the Beacon and I went there to deal with it , and I looked out the window and I saw him talking to ... do they think that he was murdered ?
Natalia : Well , that s what it looks like . Who did you see talking to him ?
Olivia : You know , I , um ... it was probably nothing . I should nt say anything . I do nt really know what to do .
Natalia : I think you should be honest , you know . It s when you start lying and hiding things that things get all messed up .
Olivia : How honest are we being ?
Natalia : This is not lying . This is a little more complicated than that . I mean , if you know something about a crime ...
Olivia : Yeah , you know what ? Let me go deal with this . Will you be here for a while ?
Natalia : Yeah , I wo nt go anywhere till you get back .
Olivia : Okay .
Mallet : So you were working on a project with Edmund , a memorial for his daughter ?
Shayne : That s right .
Mallet : Sorry for bringing Henry . I was nt expecting to work today .
Shayne : It s okay . Not a problem .
Mallet : So that means you got to know Edmund pretty well . Must have been hard to I.D. his body ?
Shayne : Someone had to do it , right ?
Mallet : Well , I m sorry I had to ask you to do that . So how were things with Edmund at the end ?
Shayne : Actually , we had had a falling out .
Mallet : How so ?
Shayne : He did what he does , turned on me . It does nt mean that I m happy that he s gone , though . He was Lara s father . He loved her very much , and that meant a lot to me , you know .
Mallet : Mm - hmm . Yeah , no , I understand . I mean , having a kid changes you . You know , I have nt been a father for very long , but all I do is think about this guy every day-- you know , what can I give him , what can I teach him ? I hope that I grow up to be a man that he can look up to and someone he can trust and tell everything to . I have nt been a father for very long , but I ll tell you what , I ca nt imagine a day without him .
Shayne : I can understand . That s how Edmund felt about Lara .
Mallet : So why do you think he left town ? Do you think it had something to do with this falling out ?
Shayne : I guess that it did , yes .
Mallet : Where were you yesterday ?
Shayne : I was flying back from Italy , a trip with my dad .
Mallet : Wow , Italy .
Shayne : Yeah .
Mallet : That s nice . Business or pleasure ?
Shayne : Business .
Mallet : You all right there , buddy ? You re teething , huh ? Yeah ? Teething is no fun , is it ? What kind of business in Italy ?
Shayne : Actually , I have a meeting at the funeral home . We can do this later , right ?
Mallet : Sure .
Shayne : All right .
Mallet : Yeah .
Father Ray : Hey .
Natalia : Hi .
Father Ray : I was dropping by , decided to drop in .
Natalia : Oh , yeah , come on in .
Father Ray : Someone promised to help with the annual fund - raiser , remember ?
Natalia : Of course I remember , yes . Please , have a seat .
Father Ray : Natalia , a lot of people are hurting right now-- losing their jobs , their homes . A lot of people need help . I m sorry , I do nt want to impose .
Natalia : No , you re not . I really still want to help out .
Father Ray : Okay .
Natalia : I think we can probably get some rooms from the Beacon and some leftover food . Now I just have to clear everything with Olivia .
Father Ray : That s terrific . Thank you .
Natalia : Sure . Do you want some soda , or you want me to make some coffee ?
Father Ray : How about a beer ?
Natalia : You want to drink right now ?
Father Ray : Any chance I get . Hey , Jesus turned water into wine . It was his first miracle . How s Frank doing ? You guys work it out ?
Natalia : Frank , he s ... Frank s wonderful . He really is . He s the best . But there s just a lot to take into consideration .
Father Ray : Of course .
Natalia : It s just not as simple as ... it s just not simple .
Father Ray : Is there someone else involved ? You know ...
Natalia : Yes . I am ... I have feelings for someone else .
Father Ray : Olivia ?
Natalia : Yes , Olivia .
Remy : I have nt had a milkshake since I was a kid .
Christina : It s the quickest pick - me - up I know .
Remy : Just looking at you picks me up .
Christina : All right . I have to go meet with Marina . You can finish mine .
Remy : How s it going ?
Buzz : Well , I ca nt complain . What ? What ?
Remy : Do you know somebody who wants to buy some diamonds ?
Mallet : Hi , Josh , how s it going ? Do you mind if I come in and ask you a few questions about Edmund Winslow ?
Shayne : Mom ?
Reva : Hi , sweetie .
Shayne : Hi .
Reva : I came here because I wanted to you know how much I love you . And if you feel the need to talk , I m here .
Shayne : Mom , you do nt need to worry about me , all right ? I m fine . All right ?
Reva : I do nt believe that . I do nt . I think you re feeling guilty . I think you re feeling so guilty about Lara that you think you have to mourn her father . But you have to let that go . Lara sounds like she was a wonderful person .
Shayne : She was .
Reva : But Edmund was not .
Shayne : I ve already heard this speech once today , okay ? I ve heard it a hundred times today-- that the world is a better place without Edmund , that one ? Yeah , I know he was a horrible person , a horrible man . But you know what ? He was still a man . And like it or not , for two minutes there , him and I were friends .
Reva : So what are you going to do , huh ? What are you going to do ? Are you going to buy Edmund the best casket ? Are you going to buy him the best burial plot ? Are you going to lay flowers on his grave for all eternity ?
Shayne : Right now , all I m doing is getting him a casket .
Reva : No . No , no , no . You do nt have to do that . I was at the Coroner s office , and I signed the papers . From now on , I m in charge of Edmund s arrangements .
Jeffrey : Reva ?
Olivia : Hi .
Jeffrey : Hey .
Olivia : Hi .
Jeffrey : How was your trip ?
Olivia : It was good . Ava is just great . She misses her dad .
Jeffrey : You know , I really have to get out there and visit her soon .
Olivia : Yeah . You know I want the best for you , right ? I mean , I have nt always wanted that , but seeing what you and Reva and the new baby have , it s great . And I just ... I know how precious it is to find someone that you truly love , and , after all the years of hardship , you finally think like you found something special and enduring and ...
Jeffrey : Where is this coming from ?
Olivia : I saw her with Edmund .
Jeffrey : What ?
Olivia : Reva-- I saw Reva with Edmund , and it must have been right before he died .
Mallet : So , Josh , where were you yesterday ?
Josh : Yesterday I was coming home from Italy with Shayne .
Mallet : Oh , Italy , nice . What were you doing over there ?
Josh : A little father / son getaway kind of thing-- something you ll be doing with this guy one day .
Mallet : Oh , I hope so . I look forward to that . So Shayne says that was a business trip . ( Baby fussing ) Here you go .
Josh : Well , it was a business trip . I mean , I had business while I was there . I was just using that as an excuse to be away with my boy .
Mallet : So when did you realize that Edmund was back in Springfield-- or did you ? Did you know he was back in Springfield ?
Josh : No , no , I did nt . I would have called the police if I did .
Mallet : Why ? I mean , did you feel like he was a threat to you ?
Josh : He was a threat to everyone .
Shayne : Why are you doing this ?
Reva : Because it s time , Shayne , to let this go , to move on with your life . We all know how much you loved Lara . We know that . But you need to find happiness somewhere else . Find happiness with Dinah . Find a life for yourself . Find it ! You ca nt do it this way !
Shayne : What about your life ? You seem to be taking care of this when you should be taking care of this little guy at home right now . You should be taking care of yourself . You just got out of the hospital , Mom !
Reva : I ca nt believe it .
Shayne : What are you talking about ?
Reva : I got the results back , my test results back . I am free and clear . I do nt have cancer . I m free and clear .
Shayne : Why did nt you call me ?
Reva : I m sorry !
Shayne : Why am I just now finding out ? No , I ca nt believe this . No ?
Reva : Yeah , well , you need to believe it . You need to believe it . You do . So if you ve been secretly planning a way to find a casket for me , you have to stop that now .
Shayne : No , no , no , no , no , no , no . You knock that off . Do nt say that . You re going to be okay ? ( Laughter )
Buzz : Okay , so let me get this straight . You want me to find you somebody shady that you can trust .
Remy : Pretty much , pretty much . I was at a poker game , and I won big .
Buzz : And somebody happened to have diamonds in their pocket ?
Remy : Yeah ! Yes , yes . And I ca nt tell you how much they re worth , and it s not like I can take them to the local jeweler , right ? So ...
Buzz : So ... well , actually , I happen to have been married to a former diamond thief , but she did nt have patience to teach me much about it .
Remy : But she had some contacts , right ?
Buzz : One or two names , yes . But , Remy , I m not sure I would be doing you a favor .
Remy : Come on .
Natalia : I did nt see this coming , you know , the feelings that I have for ...
Father Ray : Olivia .
Natalia : All I know is that they re real .
Father Ray : Natalia , there s nothing wrong with what you re feeling . I understand the connection . She s got Gus heart . You care about her daughter . But the church is clear on this matter . For you to act on these feelings would be ...
Natalia : It s a sin ? But God is love , right ? Love ?
Father Ray : God gave them over shameful lust . Even their women exchange natural relations for unnatural ones , Romans 126 to 127 . The scriptures say ...
Natalia : I know what they say . But I do nt feel in my heart that what I m feeling is wrong .
Father Ray : I can offer you support . I can give you guidance . The church has counselors .
Natalia : But this is not ... this is not a confession , Father . I have thought about this , and I have prayed and prayed about it . And I am still the same person , no matter who I love . I want to help you with your church charities , and I want to still go to mass every Sunday . My faith in God is still as strong as it was before any of this happened . I still believe in him and his teachings .
Father Ray : Not all of them .
Natalia : I love Olivia , and I love my faith . And I do nt see why I have to choose between them .
Father Ray : The bible is open to interpretation , but the church believes ...
Natalia : I understand . But the bible also says test all things and hold fast to that which is good .
Jeffrey : I m sorry about the mess .
Olivia : It s okay .
Jeffrey : So are you sure it was Reva ?
Olivia : I m positive . I was in my office on the phone , and I looked out the window , and it was Reva and Edmund arguing across the lake . And I did nt think anything of it . And then I saw the paper , and ...
Jeffrey : You know , I m sure that , you know , there s an explanation .
Olivia : I m sure there is . I just ... I thought you should know , and , you know , whatever you want to do about it , it s up to you .
Jeffrey : Okay . Well , thank you . Hey , did I tell you that Reva got her test results back ? No more cancer .
Olivia : That s great !
Jeffrey : Yeah . It s been a tough year for her .
Olivia : Yeah .
Jeffrey : And for you . But now you re both healthy and happy . You are happy ?
Olivia : I am . I think I am . I do nt have everything you have yet , but I got a shot . No questions .
Jeffrey : I think Ava would be happy to see us like this .
Olivia : I think she would , too .
Olivia : Okay , so we ll leave work by 3 : 00 , pick up Emma , maybe get a pizza ?
Natalia : Yeah , that sounds good . Here s some water .
Olivia : Thank you .
Natalia : Listen , right after you left , Father Ray stopped by , and I sort of told him .
Olivia : About us ?
Natalia : Mm - hmm .
Olivia : Huh .
Natalia : He asked me about Frank , and I could nt lie to him , not to a priest . But , you know , after he left , I was praying and I was thinking about stuff , and ...
Olivia : You do nt want me to move in .
Natalia : I still love the idea of living here with you and Emma , I really do . But I do nt know if it s something that I should do right now , you know , because living together in that way ...
Olivia : Is a sin ? Is that what Father Ray said that it was ?
Natalia : I do nt think that we re a sin . It s really hard to explain . It s just ... it s a big step , you know . It would be the same thing if it was Gus or anyone else .
Olivia : Would it ? Would it really be the same ?
Natalia : Yeah , yes . I do nt want you to think that my feelings for you have changed in any way , because that s not true . It s just ... I take this very seriously , and I want to do it right .
Olivia : Okay . Okay .
Natalia : Okay .
Mallet : Aw , jeez , Frank , could nt I have eased back into this job , you know , with something simple , like ... I do nt know , home invasion , carjacking .
Frank : You have nt solved this case yet ?
Mallet : What is all this ? What s this ?
Frank : Well , Edmund Winslow is nt the only stiff in the morgue , you know ?
Mallet : These are more cases ?
Frank : You can put them on the back burner . Hey , buddy .
Mallet : Well , I hope your daughter does nt expect me to be home any time soon-- like , I do nt know , this year .
Frank : Hey , welcome back , Detective .
Buzz : Okay . All right , I got the name . I got a name . I got one name here . You can probably beat this guy up , but he s carrying , guaranteed , and someone has got his back , okay ?
Remy : Okay .
Buzz : So I want you to be safe . Do nt play with these guys . They ll kill you .
Remy : I ll be careful .
Buzz : You ll be careful ? You promise .
Remy : I promise , I promise .
Buzz : I ca nt afford to lose you . The world ca nt afford to lose you .
Remy : I will be careful . Thank you , thank you . It s for a good cause , Buzz .
Christina : 911 ? 911 ?
Remy : Is there an emergency , maam ?
Christina : Well , I just do nt have anyone to take me to dinner .
Remy : Oh , well , well , well . Well , how about we light some candles ?
Christina : Mm - hmm ?
Remy : And we play some music .
Christina : Uh - huh .
Remy : And we eat in , you and me , no distractions .
Christina : All right . Everywhere you go so will I ...
Shayne : What the ... what are you doing ?
Josh : Sorry . Did nt mean to startle you . Front office gave me a key .
Shayne : You know , you and Mom should have been detectives , because first she shows up at the funeral home , and now , here you are , sitting on my ...
Josh : Mallet stopped by and asked me a few questions about Edmund .
Shayne : Yeah , me , too .
Josh : I know . There were discrepancies in our stories . So we have to decide what happened in Italy , why we were there , what we did , so we wo nt have any problems going forward .
Reva : Okay , little man , you want a bottle ? Oh , look who beat us home . It s Daddy . So how did it go ? Did you find out anything at the police station ? What ?
Jeffrey : You were with Edmund Winslow yesterday right before he died .
Coming up on Guiding Light ...
Mallet : You and Reva mind if I ask a few questions ?
Natalia : I screwed up , and you tell me it s okay right in front of another employee . I ca nt work here .
Phillip : James , I m here at the bank trying to buy you a little bit of time before this all goes public .
Jeffrey : We can control the situation , but it s going to be hard to stay one step ahead of the police .
Reva : Why do nt you just come out and ask me : Did I kill Edmund Winslow ?

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Opal : Were nt you even going to say goodbye ?
Amanda : I did nt want to make it any tougher than it is . I was going to call later .
Opal : Running away is rarely the best answer .
Amanda : In this case , it s the only answer . I have to do this for my baby as much as for me . I -- I left Jake a note trying to explain things , so --
Opal : Well , you do nt really think that that s going to help him understand , do you ? You are a smart girl . You know how much Jake has come to care for you .
Amanda : I m sorry . I really wish that things had worked out differently . I have to get to the airport . Goodbye , Opal .
Krystal : Marissa does not need to know that the parents she loved adopted her .
Adam : And the parent she does nt know sold her .
Krystal : You bastard .
Adam : I m a man of my word . You helped J.R. get custody of Little Adam , and in return your sordid secret is safe with me .
Krystal : It better be . Because if you ever tell anyone , I ll kill you .
Erica : Sounds like you ve been a naughty boy again .
Adam : She did nt care for the catch of the day .
Erica : Well , I m waiting .
Adam : Well , I honestly wish I could accommodate you and run upstairs with you for a little afternoon delight . But my keeper over there is keeping a very close eye on me .
Erica : Well , Adam , I m not about to let go what I just overheard without an explanation . What is it , Adam ? What is it that Krystal will kill you for if you tell anyone ?
Adam : All right , but you have to promise you wo nt breathe a word of it .
Scott : Hey , you going to the hospital ? You want a ride ?
J.R. : I m actually going to lunch . I ve got some other work I ve got to do .
Scott : Work ? Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa -- how can you think of work at a time like this ? Look , I know you have your doubts , but , watch . Today we save the first of many lives .
J.R. : This heart valve technology is still brand new . I ll celebrate when it proves itself .
Scott : When the money starts rolling in , you mean ?
J.R. : This is not about a profit - and - loss statement . This is about human lives , one in particular . His mother and I go way back . For the last time , I ll celebrate when this damn thing works .
Scott : Ok , you re right , but it s going to work , I know it .
J.R. : Yeah . Your lips to God s ears .
David : There is no doubt I am the most qualified surgeon you ll find around here , but that does nt mean that I will operate on your son .
Kendall : Why wo nt you operate on him ? You just said it was his best possible chance under the circumstances .
Zach : He has other reservations .
Kendall : Well , what other reservations ? It ca nt be because of what you went through with Leora in the operating room . I mean , you ve already shown that you can operate on Ian once before . Why wo nt you do it again ?
David : The surgery I performed on Ian initially was a standard , tried , and trusted procedure . I was willing to attempt the surgery with the new device before it came to be that the first patient would be a child .
Zach : And it does nt help that this valve is owned by Chandler Enterprises .
Kendall : Is that the real reason ? Are you kidding me ? Are you that petty ? You would risk my child s life because of your hatred for Adam Chandler ?
Adam : Krystal was nt lying . She really would kill me if she found out I told you .
Erica : Adam , I am here to talk to you about whether your heart valve could save little Ian s life , so I obviously have more pressing concerns going on . Please just tell me .
Adam : All right , if you insist . You ve seen Krystal lately ? You ve seen she looks different . Do you agree ?
Erica : Well , I m not quite sure what you mean .
Adam : All right , I have it on the very best authority -- it is nt her natural color .
Erica : You think you re so cute .
Adam : You re the first person ever to accuse me of that one .
Erica : You have some information about Krystal that she does nt want anyone else to know , and you are using it to blackmail her . That s why she threw David under the bus at the custody hearing , and that s why she s ready to slit your throat right now .
Adam : Would you be terribly upset if she did ?
Erica : Tell me her deep , dark secret before she makes good on her threat .
Marissa : Can I get you anything ?
Erica : Oh , no , I m fine , thank you .
Adam : You ve been delightful today . Thank you . Well , I ll tell you this much -- if I ever decide to tell anyone of Krystal s deep , dark secret , it will be you .
Erica : Because you owe me .
Adam : Because I can resist you for only so long .
Erica : I ll just keep that in mind .
Jesse : Ok , yeah , that s better . I can hear you now . Yes , Sergeant , I understand that , but you need to understand that we need details . No . The last we heard , he was on his way to Germany to a hospital . Yes , please , any news whatsoever , any at all . Yes , this is the right number to contact us with . All right , then . Thank you . Thank you , Sergeant . Well , he s still on his way to Landstuhl , and the sergeant promised that the Army would call us as soon as he s checked in and they have more information .
Angie : Oh , God , I m going to go crazy !
Jesse : Angie , please , just hold on . He s still alive . All right , now , I m going to need you to help me keep believing that he s ok .
Brot : Hey .
Taylor : Hey . Did you find out anything ?
Brot : Well , I was able to find out that he s still alive and he s not in critical condition , which is good .
Taylor : Good . Thank God .
Jesse : Go on .
Brot : Well , I do nt have too many details , but I went to the base , and I was able to see the commander .
Randi : Yeah , so , what happened with Frankie ?
Brot : I think you better sit back down for this .
Opal : Where the hell have you been , and why did nt you have your cell phone on ?
Jake : I was in the E.R. I was in surgery .
Opal : She left .
Jake : What ?
Opal : Amanda -- she packed her bags , and she headed for the airport .
Jake : Did she say anything ?
Opal : Well , she left you this note .
Opal : Probably scared out of her mind by David Hayward , and who could blame her , really ? Well , what did she say ?
Jake : Just that she needs a fresh start and it s her and the baby from here on out , and I need to -- I need to understand .
Opal : Oh , well , she s just -- she s not thinking straight . It s hormones . You ve got to go after her , Jake . You know , get her . Catch up with her before she gets on that plane . Well , come on . What are you waiting for ?
Jake : You do nt understand . She s obviously made up her mind . I m going to run after her and try to change it for her ?
Opal : Jake , you care about her .
Jake : Yes , of course , I care about her . I told her that I care about her . But , I do nt know , maybe running away from here is the best thing that she could do .
J.R. : What , are you following me around ? I ca nt have lunch without you hovering around me ?
Marissa : Actually , you re sitting in my section , but I can have you seated elsewhere if you like . It s no problem , really . You do nt exactly seem like a big tipper anyway .
J.R. : I did nt realize that you worked here . I m sorry if I came off like a jerk .
Marissa : It s ok . I probably deserved it anyway . I started it the other day when I ragged to you about your kid at the beach . I m not a very tactful person . I tend to stick my nose where it does nt belong .
J.R. : You were just showing concern for my son . How could I argue with that ?
Marissa : You found a way .
J.R. : I -- listen , I wanted to thank you again . You kept me from making a really big mistake at ConFusion with that drink . So , thanks .
Marissa : What can I say ? My cape and leotard are still at the cleaners .
J.R. : You know , how about you and me start over ?
Marissa : That works for me . I m Marissa .
J.R. : I m J.R.
Marissa : So , how can I help you today ?
J.R. : How about a prayer for a little boy ?
Kendall : Please tell me you are not letting your stupid fight with the Chandlers keep Ian from getting the help he needs .
David : All right , look , I admit that s a factor , albeit a minor one compared to the truth that I have yet to be convinced that this device has been thoroughly tested enough to assure its viability .
Zach : I agree with David . Take Adam out of this for a second . There s a gamble here . You know , there s plenty of valves out there that have been proven .
Kendall : Yes , with their own proven risks . Zach , you heard Joe . It could be a lifetime of worrying about him bleeding to death from a simple cut , or more surgeries . I mean , how many times can they tear open his chest and sew him back together before he just ca nt take it anymore ? Please , David . Please , please do the surgery .
David : Kendall , I m sorry . I ca nt . It s bad enough that Adam s pushing this right now for his own selfish reasons , but the fact that you two are on either side of this matter -- I simply can not take that kind of risk . I d be leaving myself open to all sorts of liabilities . There are other qualified surgeons here at the hospital , if you so desire to go with the surgery . I m sorry .
Zach : You ve got to be clear - headed about this . Just be patient , all right ? I ve got some calls out to New York --
Kendall : No , no , no , no . There s not enough time . There s not enough time . We need to take care of this now . If we do nt , Ian could die .
David : Hayward .
Gayle : It s me .
David : What is it ? Did Chandler have another seizure ?
Gayle : No , in fact , he insisted on going out to eat at the Yacht Club .
David : Ok , so why are you calling me ?
Gayle : I thought you might want to know that he was sitting with your wife .
David : Did you get to hear what they were talking about ?
Gayle : No . I was banished across the room . But Mrs. Hayward started getting very upset . I heard her threaten to kill Mr. Chandler , then Erica Kane showed up and your wife left .
David : Let me know anything else you find out .
Brot : Well , his unit came under attack , and somehow his hands got trapped in some kind of heavy machinery or something .
Angie : His -- his hands ?
Brot : They were crushed .
Randi : And did he lose them ? Amputation ? What ?
Brot : I do nt know , and I m sorry , but that s all I can find out for now .
Angie : A doctor s hands are everything , but -- but he s alive .
Brot : That s right .
Angie : He s -- he s alive .
Brot : That s right .
Scott : Mr. Slater , hi . Scott Chandler . Is Ian in surgery yet ?
Zach : Nope .
Scott : Oh . Well , when are they supposed to start ?
Zach : There s not going to be any surgery -- not with your family s valve , anyway .
Scott : Why not ? What happened ? I thought time was critical .
Zach : Why do nt you run along and leave us alone . Did you not hear me ?
Kendall : There s no change . He s just -- he s lying there , absolutely still . No smiling , no crying , just staring out , waiting .
Zach : I m expecting a phone call from New York any minute . You ve got to understand something . We both want the same thing for Ian . It just -- what if something goes wrong with that valve ? Then what ?
Kendall : Zach , why ca nt you believe something will go right ? I mean , there are no guarantees with any choice that we ve got . And you sitting around waiting for a phone call from yet another doctor is not going to save our son . What happened to the man who was willing to make tough decisions , the man willing to take chances ?
Zach : You mean the man who took a chance on you and me ? That guy ?
Jake : Let me explain what s happening here . See , she thinks that Paulo is hasta - la - vista forever , never coming back . So she takes Marco , the loan shark s , offer up on marrying her . So she does , as long as he pays off the mortgage on the grandma s house , but she s screwing herself here because if Paulo comes back -- if Paulo comes back , Marco is going to be pissed --
Opal : You know , if dumb was dirt you would cover about a half - acre .
Jake : Because Paolo loves her .
Opal : Jake , Amanda is just plain scared . She needs reassurance . She does nt need somebody who s going to agree with her decision to leave town .
Jake : Opal , it s a very complicated situation , ok ? It s not just about David Hayward . It s everything . It s the way that she was raised . It s her mom . Her mom was in and out of mental institutions . It s all the men --
Opal : Yeah , but --
Jake : That she has had relationships with in this town .
Opal : Yeah , but you are leaving out the most important part . She cares about you a lot , and you care about her . And all the rest is just a lot of annoying buzz - buzz static .
Jake : I already told her that I care about her , and I told her I would take care of her , but she still chose to leave , so I -- do nt I have to respect that ?
Jesse : So , other than his hands , did you hear of any other injuries ?
Brot : Not that the commander could tell me at the time , but I do know that the damage to his hands is the reason he was sent to Landstuhl , Germany .
Jesse : So , then , things could really be ok ? I mean , he s still alive , no head or chest injuries . And it might be unthinkable , what could have happened to his hands , but he s still alive , and this is what need to focus on .
Brot : You re absolutely right . Whatever happened to Frankie , it s going to change his life . But at least we know he s not going to lose his life , and they assured me of that . And he has all of us to help him when he gets home , and that s the important thing .
Angie : I m not waiting for that . I have to see my baby . I m going to pack .
Jesse : Look , baby , no . We need to wait here until we hear more from the Army .
Angie : No , he has to have someone with him there now . He needs me .
Randi : He needs his wife . He needs me . I m going to go to Germany .
J.R. : So , it s my company s heart valve that s going into the kid today , so --
Marissa : Well , that s great . So you ll be part of saving of life .
Marissa : What ? Why is that so bad ?
J.R. : What if it does nt work ? What if the heart valve is faulty , or worse yet , what if the kid dies ? He s only 2 years old . His mom and I used be real close . I just -- I know that it would kill her .
Marissa : I wish I had some wise words for you , but I am fresh out . If you re a religious man , you could say a prayer . Otherwise , the best you can do is play the optimist .
J.R. : You sound like my cousin , Scott . You met him here the other day . He says that -- that people focus on the downside . That s why things tend to go bad . Yeah .
Marissa : That s a load of crap . Your cousin reads too many fortune cookies . Bad stuff happens , period . Life just simply sucks sometimes .
J.R. : Tell me how you really feel .
Marissa : Hey , my -- my life was cake for a while . Then one night my dad fell asleep at the wheel , and he and my mom end up dead . He d missed his last two life insurance payments , so suddenly I m totally out of luck . None of it had to do with negative thinking . Just -- just the way the cards were dealt . So now I m waiting tables to keep a roof over my head . Speaking of which , I better get to work before I screw this up , too . Lamb chops , right ?
J.R. : Yeah . Yeah .
Marissa : Ok . I will be right back .
David : Hey . This is a nice surprise . I could use someone in my corner .
Krystal : I just thought I would stop by to see when you thought you d be home . I was hoping you and me could go get a little bite to eat somewhere , just the two of us ?
David : Well , that sounds like it could be nice , but you seem like you re upset . Is everything all right ? I mean , did something happen with Marissa ?
Krystal : No , no , we re back on track .
David : Good . Well , then , who has you upset ?
Krystal : It s nothing .
David : Krystal .
Krystal : Adam and I had a little disagreement .
David : Really ? I m sorry to hear that . I wish you would just tell me what he s holding over you . Krystal , I promise I will make sure he never upsets you again .
Krystal : Listen , I ve told you this before . As much as I would like for you to be involved , I ca nt , ok ? This is just something that I need to handle on my own . I wish you would understand that .
David : I wish I could , but I honestly do nt . I m your husband . You keep telling me you do nt want secrets , right ?
Krystal : You re right , but I need to keep this one .
David : And you think that s fair ?
Krystal : I really wish you would nt pressure me , all right ? This is -- this is something old , all right ? It happened long before you came back to Pine Valley , and I need to handle it myself . Please .
David : All right .
Krystal : Can I expect you home soon ?
David : Actually , I m not sure how long it will be . I ll have to get back to you .
Erica : What s going on ? Is Ian ok ?
Kendall : Well , not for long . David wo nt do the surgery .
Erica : Why not ?
Kendall : I think it s Adam . He hates the man so much , he refuses to use anything that will help Adam s company .
Erica : And he s putting that before operating and saving this baby s life ? Ok , what about another doctor ?
Kendall : Well , Zach called , but , I mean , Mom , you heard Joe . He said time is running out . And Zach -- he s not sure about using the new valve either .
Erica : Then ca nt they put in the more traditional one ?
Kendall : Well , they may have to , but then he ll either have to use these blood thinner drugs , or they ll have to do more surgeries , or both . And then one day -- I do nt know -- his poor little body could just give out .
Erica : No , no , no , no . Nobody s going to let your baby die .
Kendall : Mom , what I am going to do ? I mean , what can I do ?
Erica : Ok , you are going to stay right here , right by that baby s side , and I am going to take care of the rest .
Kendall : No , mom . Mom , there s no way you can talk David into it -- not the way he feels about Adam .
Erica : It s not David I m going to take on .
Gayle : Mr. Chandler s resting and is nt supposed to have any --
Erica : He ll see me .
Gayle : Oh , well , I do nt think you understand . Mr. Chandler s under strict orders not to --
Erica : Oh , why do nt you just go make us some tea ?
Adam : Erica . Well , what a treat . Twice in one day . Whatever could you be thinking ?
Erica : I m not here to play games , Adam .
Adam : Oh , you want something , then .
Erica : I want you to convince David Hayward to put your company s heart valve into little Ian .
Adam : Whatever happened to Jake Martin performing the surgery ?
Erica : Zach wo nt ok that . And David refuses to step in because your name is on that valve .
Adam : Then find another doctor .
Erica : No , there is nt time , Adam . And David is here , and David is brilliant in the operating room .
Adam : No , he is never going to use anything that my company produces . We need that valve up and working .
Erica : Adam , you have something on his wife . You re blackmailing her with it . I m sure that David would want to know all about that and what that dirt involves .
Adam : I ca nt share that .
Erica : Why not ?
Adam : Well , it might be some unpleasant ramifications .
Erica : You owe me , Adam . I helped get your little grandson out of this town when you thought you would lose him , and at no little cost to me . So I am calling in my marker . I do nt care what you have to do . You convince David Hayward by the end of today .
Zach : I do nt know what to do . I do nt get it . I know you do nt get it either . You re sitting here with tubes and wires coming out of you . You re just a kid . You should be outside playing , not in here . I should be in here . You fought enough already . They ll fix it . It s your heart . They ve got to fix it . It s important . It s where love grows . It s where integrity lives and honor lives , forgiveness lives . And when the whole world s screaming at you , that s where you go to find some peace , find your truth . So what do you think , man ? If I were you and you were me standing out here trying to make the decision , what would you do ?
J.R. : Wow , that looks great .
Marissa : Let me know if you need anything else .
J.R. : You know what , how about one of those prayers we were talking about earlier ?
Marissa : It s already taken care of .
J.R. : Thank you . Oh , great .
Marissa : He does nt look like Mr. Glass - half - full today .
Scott : Hi . We have a problem .
J.R. : Ian ? Is he all right ?
Scott : Oh , they have nt even started the surgery yet . The Slaters wo nt use Jake , and David Hayward has refused to perform the operation .
J.R. : I see . Let me guess , Hayward does nt like the fact that it s a Chandler product .
Scott : You got it .
J.R. : Do you mind packing this to go ?
Marissa : Yeah , no problem .
Scott : This is a disaster .
J.R. : Oh , come on , cheer up , Scott . Positive attitude and all that . Right ?
Jesse : All right , listen to me . We all need to take a breath and just thank God that Frankie is still is alive . We need to wait for the Army to call and let us know what comes next .
Angie : He needs his mother .
Randi : He needs his wife .
Jesse : Randi --
Brot : You know , I m sorry , Jesse , but I do nt mean to interrupt , but the truth is Frankie might want to be alone for a while . And everything we re feeling from the anger , the tears , the pity , the unknown , -- trust me , that s the last thing Frankie wants surrounding him right now .
Zach : Hey . I heard from the doctors in New York .
Kendall : Are they coming ?
Zach : No , no , they re not . They got operations -- three in a row . They re all urgent , and they ca nt get out of it , so --
Kendall : What are we going to do ?
Zach : I do nt know . I looked in on Ian , and I do nt want them to operate either on his -- to keep going through this , and then the drug therapy . I do nt want that . But this valve -- what if there s something wrong with it ?
Kendall : Well , then we have to have them put something else in . I mean , just the same as if we went with a more traditional way .
Zach : What if we re not aware of it , if something goes wrong , and we re not aware of it ?
Kendall : There are risks with whatever we choose , Zach . There are no good choices . Does this mean that you re willing to try Adam s new valve ?
Zach : It does nt matter what I think . There s no doctor to do the operation . David said no , and I m not going to have Jake Martin do anything , not after what he did to you . So I do nt think there s anyone that can change David s mind .
Adam : Uh -- ahem -- you and I need to talk .
David : I ca nt think of anything you and I would need to discuss .
Adam : Well , I want to make you a deal .
David : Regarding ?
Adam : Your surgical implant of the Chandler valve in little Ian Slater .
David : Now , why would I use my expertise to make your company millions and advance a product that has nt been fully researched ?
Adam : I can get you plenty of research . And there s something else you might want .
David : I m listening .
Adam : Actually , that was a question . But in addition to the additional research , there must be something that would make you willing to do the surgery . I must have something that you want from me as a quid pro quo .
David : Yes , as a matter of fact , there is , but I do nt think you re going to like it one bit .
Jake : You forget something ?
Amanda : Yeah . You . I guess I got so freaked about the baby , of what David was going to do . Every time I thought it out , I just kept coming to the same thing -- David taking my little boy away . So I ran . And then in the airport someone was watching our telenovela , and it made me realize how much I was going to miss you . And running away was nt going to solve that . Nothing is going to solve it , not when I want to keep him .
Jake : All right , just back up for a second , because you re dead wrong about one little thing . We can solve anything together , because I think what we have is stronger than anything that David has over you .
Amanda : Is it really ?
Jake : I love you . I just -- I m so tired of pretending that I do nt feel that . I just ca nt take it anymore . I love you . I love you . I just love you . I love you . I love you .
Randi : What if I just ca nt wait ? What if I just ca nt sit here while my husband s going through hell halfway across the world ?
Jesse : Randi , listen --
Taylor : Randi , they will call us . As soon as he lands in Germany and he does the preliminary , the doctor will call us , ok ? Just wait for that call , and then we can make your travel arrangements . I promise , right ?
Brot : Yes , yes , of course . And if you d like , I can go with you , because I know how the military works . And Frankie may want someone there who has , you know , been down that road before .
Randi : Ok . We d like that . That would mean a lot to us .
Brot : Great .
Randi : Both of us .
David : Zach , Kendall , I ve changed my mind . If you can come to an agreement on using the new device , I will do the surgery .
Zach : What happened ?
David : I re - examined all the research , and I ve come to the conclusion that this is Ian s best hope . But I need you both onboard . I can not go in there unless each of you are 100 % behind this . Ok . I ll have an O.R. prepped . I know . I ll get him through it .
Erica : Krystal , how are you holding up ?
Krystal : I m fine .
Erica : Are you sure ?
Krystal : Yes . Why ? What is this all about ?
Erica : Adam told me . I ll be honest , I kind of tricked it out of him . But I know what your secret is , and I know that Adam has been blackmailing you over it . And I must tell you , I think it s perfectly horrible of him to have done this . I am so sorry . Is there anything that I could do ?
Gayle : It s bad enough that Erica Kane woman barrels her way in here , but for you to go off with her to --
Adam : Shut up , woman ! You re hired help . Learn your place .
J.R. : Where have you been ? You re supposed to stay here and rest .
Adam : Do nt you start with me . I ve been saving our company s butt .
J.R. : Well , we re going to need it . This operation s not happening .
Adam : Yes , it is .
Scott : What do you mean ?
Adam : I just came from the hospital . They re prepping Ian Slater as we speak . Our valve is going to save a life .
J.R. : Who s doing the operation ?
Adam : Hayward .
J.R. : Wait a second , he said that he would nt do it as long as -- what did you promise him ?
Adam : This company needs a home run , something to keep the wolves at bay .
J.R. : What did you promise David Hayward ?
Adam : I did what I had to do .
J.R. : You promised him Little Adam , did nt you ? You gave Hayward my son .

### Dialogue:
Marcus : What the hell are you doing in my stuff ?
Steffy : Is it true ? Is Donna Logan your mother ?
Katie : I still think you re taking an awfully big risk not telling Eric about Marcus .
Donna : I will tell him .
Brooke : You said so yourself -- with Marcus working at the company , the news could get out before you re ready , and then where will you be , Donna ?
Donna : What do you suggest , Brooke ? What -- what , I call a meeting with the executive board and just lay it out there-- preemptive strike ?
Brooke : Wait too long , and it ll be out of your hands altogether .
Donna : Okay , you made your point .
Brooke : Well , I m gon na make another point now-- my relationship with Ridge .
Donna : Tell me you are not going to tell him .
Brooke : ( Scoffs ) Well , you ve put me in a really awkward position .
Donna : No , promise me you re not gon na say anything .
Brooke : Katie , could you please talk to your sister here ? Katie , are you all right ?
Katie : Mm .
Donna : Ill-- I ll get Bridget .
Katie : No , no , no . I m fine . I m fine . I - I was just thinking about something .
Brooke : What were you thinking about ?
Katie : I think it s really good that you told Brooke about Marcus . It s one less person to have to pretend around .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) Katie , do nt do this .
Katie : Do what ?
Brooke : I know that something s bothering you . I can tell .
Donna : So can I , Katie . What -- what took you a million miles away ?
Katie : Well , to tell you the truth , I have been thinking a lot about our mother .
Jackie : ( Sighs )
Nick : This stuff piles up fast .
Jackie : Oh , I should have gone through it for you . You know , weeded out the junk . God knows you ve had enough on your mind lately .
Nick : Yeah , we all have .
Jackie : I took Katie up some soup earlier before her sisters arrived .
Nick : Very thoughtful .
Jackie : Hmm . She seemed quite melancholy to me , actually .
Nick : Really ? I did nt get that from her .
Jackie : No , well , maybe not melancholy . That s too strong a word . Um , stoic , as though she d resigned herself to something .
Nick : She s tired , Mother . Do nt read too much into things .
Jackie : Oh . So what , I m being melodramatic , is that it ?
Nick : Well , you do have a penchant for that , which is what makes you so irresistibly charming .
Jackie : Excuse me . This is no laughing matter .
Nick : What would you like me to say ?
Jackie : That things , the situation -- your situation , has suddenly got very complicated . Am I wrong ?
Nick : Are you ever wrong , Mother ?
Jackie : Good . Well , seeing I m on a roll , I m going to venture yet another opinion .
Nick : Is it about me ?
Jackie : It s about Katie .
Nick : ( Sighs ) Oh , go ahead .
Jackie : Nicky , it s very clear to me , after talking to her , that she s fallen madly in love with you ... has nt she ? Okay , I ll take that as a yes . ( Sighs ) how do you feel about her ?
Marcus : Now who said you can rifle through my things , man ? Give me that .
Steffy : You did nt answer me . Is it true ?
Marcus : It s none of your damn business .
Steffy : Look , Marcus , I - I m sorry . I should nt have gone through your stuff . It was wrong .
Marcus : Yeah , then why d you do it ?
Steffy : Because certain people here are worried because of Donna , okay ?
Marcus : Right , certain people , meaning your family . So what s that got to do with me ?
Steffy : They all know she was pulling for you to get hired , but no one knew why . She brought you in-- no experience , no design degree , no interest in fashion , no one the family s ever met , and then told human resources to skip the background check ? I mean , why would Donna authorize that ? We were thinking all kinds of things , but I sure never imagined you were her son .
Marcus : Well , I am . Are you happy now ? Now you know the big secret .
Steffy : Why is it a secret ? Why has nt Donna said anything ?
Marcus : Well , can you blame her for wanting to keep it to herself for a while , huh ? I could just picture the kind of flack she ll get with a kid my age showing up out of nowhere . Look , she does nt deserve to be treated that way , Steffy , but she is every day . I mean , what is it with you people , anyway ? I mean , have nt you ever given her a chance ?
Steffy : Oh , listen , dude , my grandparents are like icons around here . They built this company from the ground up . So when my grandfather marries this young hottie and tries to put her center stage , I say it s understandable why people are freaked . That s the situation you walked into , Marcus , so watch yourself .
Nick : Mother , will you please try and remember that I share this house with Bridget ?
Jackie : ( Sighs )
Nick : We re raising Jack together , and we have a very passionate relationship .
Jackie : Well , of course you care for Bridget , but you ve been through something with Katie , something incredibly intense . I mean , could it be that you re just caught up in that ? Especially now that this very vulnerable young woman sees you as something more than just a dear friend . Look , I know you adore Bridget . I adore Bridget . But , Nicky , if you follow your heart and it leads to Katie ... ( sighs ) well , then ...
Donna : What got you thinking about mom ? I mean , have you heard from her ?
Katie : No , and that s what I think is so strange . Have either of you heard from her ?
Brooke : Not recently . Why ?
Katie : Well , a lot has happened . ( Sighs ) never mind . It s just -- I really wanted to thank both of you for everything that you ve done for me , and , um , you made everything so special when you thought that I was nt gon na be around much longer .
Brooke : No thanks needed , little sis .
Donna : It meant everything to us just-- just to see you happy .
Katie : Well , thank you . You both have been so supportive , and being alive is amazing , and I think I m only beginning to realize how lucky I am to be a part of a family that -- that cares so much and ... loves unconditionally .
Brooke : Not hearing from mom is really bothering you , is nt it ?
Katie : ( Sighs ) I - I - I do nt want to bring everyone else down . It s --
Donna : Katie , you can tell us anything .
Brooke : Do nt keep it all bottled up inside .
Donna : Yeah , it s not good for you . You re still recovering .
Katie : Well , okay , yeah , it s bothering me . It s bothering me a lot . I mean ... ( sighs ) where the hell is she ? And how many weeks has our family been in crisis ? Storm is dead . I had a heart transplant , for God sakes . I mean , what-- what kind of mother does nt come to her own son s funeral ? What s wrong with her ?
Steffy : How is it possible you re mother and son and no one s laid eyes on you till now ?
Marcus : That s a long story .
Steffy : I have time .
Marcus : See , Donna gave me up when I was born because she could nt raise me herself .
Steffy : ( Sighs ) You were adopted .
Marcus : Yeah , and I just found her after a lot of looking . I had a lot of resentment built up inside over being abandoned . But Donna was just a teenager , so I understand that now . We re still trying to figure each other out .
Steffy : Must be kind of rough .
Marcus : Well , yeah , it d be a hell of a lot easier if she can tell Eric , but she s afraid that he wo nt react too well because she never mentioned that she had a kid-- never thought it d come up . And from what she s telling me , he s been burned before with lies and stuff .
Steffy : Yeah , my grandmother Stephanie has nt always been the pinnacle of honesty .
Marcus : You see , Donna thought it might go down easier if the family got to know me first-- liked me , but I guess that ll all blow up now once you go tell your dad .
Steffy : What makes you think I m gon na tell ?
Nick : Mother , everyone that knows Katie loves her .
Jackie : Yes , they do .
Nick : Especially ...
Jackie : ( Sighs )
Nick : Those Logan women-- Donna and Brooke and Bridget . The way they rallied around her--
Jackie : So Katie could never bear to betray any of them , especially Bridget , is that what you re saying ?
Nick : Is there any of that soup left ?
Jackie : Nicky , I know you do nt want to hurt anyone either . ( Sighs ) but if you ve got feelings for Katie and you deny them ...
Nick : Mother ...
Jackie : I m telling you , it s --
Nick : You know what I m gon na do ? I m gon na check with our guests and see if one of them wants to join me for a bite .
Jackie : ( Sighs )
Donna : According to dad , mom s been too distraught to even think about traveling .
Katie : Well , that does nt seem like an excuse , Brooke . We ve all been distraught , if that s what you want to call it . It -- I mean , for her not to come back , it does nt make any sense .
Donna : Well , I can see why she missed my wedding , considering who I married .
Katie : For her to be a no - show at Storm s funeral ...
Donna : Is it that hard for you to empathize , Katie ?
Katie : ( Sighs )
Donna : Mom s not as young as she used to be , and if dad said that , you know , she s not well enough to travel all the way from Europe by herself , well , then I think we have to believe her .
Brooke : Maybe one of us should go check on her , see if she needs our help .
Katie : She s our mother . She s supposed to be supporting us .
Donna : She spent a big chunk of her life doing just that . Whenever we needed her , she was there .
Katie : You know something , Donna ? I ve needed her . I need her right now . I just ca nt believe that she has nt been here through all of this .
Brooke : Honey , we can understand why you feel this way , given everything that you ve been through .
Donna : So can I , but , Katie , I - I was old enough to realize what mom went through , the burden that she-- she carried when dad left . And she suffered a lot , probably a lot more than she let on , Katie .
Katie : That s not a get - out - of - jail - free card , Donna . I - I mean , for her not to show up at her son s funeral , to not say good - bye to him , to not be there with her family while we re grieving-- I mean , to not be there for me when I need her more than I ever have in my entire life .
Donna : Okay . Okay , just-- just give it some time , and I m sure she ll come when she can .
Katie : Oh , okay . Sure . Sure , I ll give it some time . You know , I do nt understand why she has nt called or sent a card or -- or a - a bloody e - mail . I do nt know . It -- it just -- how about , uh , just a word or two saying that she s happy that I m alive .
Brooke : Of course she feels that way .
Katie : How do you know , Brooke ? How do you know ? Storm died . I almost did , too . What kind of mother abandons her family at a time like that ?
Marcus : You would keep quiet about me being Donna s son ?
Steffy : I do nt exactly enjoy having her in the family , and I know for a fact she s bad for the company , but I think you should have a chance to get to know your mom . I do nt want to be the one to mess that up .
Marcus : ( Chuckles ) I mean , for you to give us this kind of a , you know , a chance -- Donna and I , that s , um -- are you sure you re really one of them ?
Steffy : ( Laughs ) We Forresters are known to disagree from time to time .
Marcus : You know , you should let me take you to dinner , you know , just to say thanks .
Steffy : Oh , yeah . Okay . You re Donna s son , and I m Ridge s daughter . Hmm , what s wrong with that picture ?
Marcus : Yeah , you re right . That would nt be too good , would it ? But you know , uh , the bad guy does nt know that I m Donna s son .
Steffy : Dinner , huh ? I ll think about it .
Brooke : Poor Katie . ( Sighs ) she s so upset .
Donna : Well , I am glad that you agree that we should cut mom a little slack .
Brooke : These past few months have been horrendous for all of us , but I still think mom should be here for the family .
Donna : I wish that were possible , Brooke .
Brooke : How do you know it s not ?
Donna : You know what ? I do nt . I do nt . I m just taking it on faith , but when I was scared and pregnant , mom was there for me , and I honestly believe that if she could , she would be on the next plane , but for -- for whatever reason , she ca nt .
Brooke : Well , I d like to believe that , too , but being a mother myself , I mean , I just ca nt fathom what would be keeping her out of touch for so long . If my kids needed me , I d be there for sure , no matter what .
Katie : Well , if you heard all that , then you must know why I m so confused . It does nt make sense . It s like she s vanished off the face of the earth .
Nick : Well ... if she wo nt call you ... you can always call her .
Katie : ( Sighs ) What time is it there now ?
Nick : Well , if it s nighttime in California , that would make it morning in France .
Katie : Well , she always did get up at the crack of dawn .
Nick : Maybe she still does .
Katie : Can you hand me the phone ?
Nick : Yeah . ( Phone rings ) ( rings )
Katie : It s ringing .
Beth : Hello ?
Katie : Mom ? Hi , it s -- it s Katie .
Beth : Katie .
Katie : Um , I - I m -- I m calling from Los Angeles . Is the connection okay ? Can you hear me ?
Beth : Uh , it s fine .
Katie : Good . Uh , it s -- it s fine on this end , too . I hope I m not calling too early .
Beth : Uh , no , no .
Katie : You always did get up at the crack of dawn . ( Laughs ) it s good to hear your voice .
Beth : Yours , too .
Katie : Um ... how -- how s Paris ?
Beth : Well , it s , uh , just-- it s wonderful . It s almost summer . Weather s perfect . I imagine it s -- it s hot already in California .
Katie : Yeah , it -- it-- you know , it s sunny California . That s kind of the way it works . ( Sighs ) listen , I - I - I m sure you must have talked to Brooke . Um , I m doing better , you know , after the transplant . I m on new medication so my body does nt reject the heart .
Beth : Well , I m so glad , dear .
Katie : ( Sighs ) well , you know , Donna and Brooke were just here , and we were kind of talking about how we-- we have nt seen you in a long time , and we were hoping that maybe you could-- you could come , because I d really like to see you--
Beth : Uh , you -- you know , uh , Katie , you-- actually , you have caught me at a bad time . I , uh , I have guests , and so Ive -- Ive got-- I ve got to run , but thank you , really . Thank you for -- for calling .
Katie : Hello ? ( Scoffs ) she hung up .
Nick : She what ?
Katie : She hung up . I mean , I-- she said she had guests and that I was calling her at a bad time , and -- and she just hung up .
Nick : That s weird .
Katie : Yeah . I guess so . I mean , I-- ( laughs ) I - I had a heart transplant , and she did nt even ask me how I was doing . I had to bring it up , and when I did , she said , Oh , well , you know , well , that s nice , dear . I mean , like I was telling her I was having tea in the garden or something .
Nick : I m sorry .
Katie : I mean I - it-- I do nt get it . I m -- I m her daughter . I m -- I m her flesh and blood , and she just blew me off like I was nobody . And -- I-- she s -- I - I do nt get it . Storm s dead , and I need her . I - I need her .
Nick : I know . I know you do .
Katie : I-- ( Sobs )
Nick : I know .
Katie : Sh -- she acts like she does nt even love me . I do nt understand . I do nt understand how she could be there the whole time when we were growing up , and now she s just gone . ( Sobs )
Nick : She loves you . She ... she loves you .
Nick : I want you to tell me is there anything that I can do ?
Katie : No . No , nothing . I just , um-- I just-- I just want to be by myself , if that s okay . ( Sniffles )
Nick : Okay .
Nick : Steve . Nick Marone . Listen , get the jet prepped to go . We re gon na take a trip to Paris . And I need you to locate someone for me . Her name is Beth Logan .

Ben : Sorry about that .
Melanie : Please do nt apologize . This is your house . I should be apologizing to you .

Ben : Right , right , it s -- uh , I ve heard a lot about you .
Melanie : Yeah , me too . Oh , well , no , I ve heard a lot about you -- she s obviously--
Ben : Yeah , well , I ll let you guys catch up .
Melanie : Yeah , okay .
Abigail : Oh , um , here is your phone . Melanie dropped it off .
Ben : Oh , thank you , Melanie . And , uh , would you mind just locking up before you leave ?
Abigail : Yeah , sure , but you do nt have to rush out .
Ben : No , no , that s fine . You guys have nt seen each other in a while , and you should catch up .
Melanie : Yeah , another time . So good to see you -- meet you . So nice to meet you .
Ben : You too , you too .
Abigail : Okay , bye .
Ben : See you later . Mm - hmm . Mwah .
Abigail : You know , usually he is so talkative . God , I ca nt believe that you re back !
Melanie : I know . I know . Missed you .
Abigail : I missed you , oh , my God , so much , especially lately . Mel , so much has happened . [ Sighs , chuckles ]
Jordan : Uh , do you need to get that ?
Chad : Uh , no , what I need to do is turn it off and throw it out the window . [ Clears throat ] [ Sighs ]
Chad : Damn it , it s my father .
Anne : Okay . All right , well , since you seem to be so uncharacteristically naive today , let me just explain something to you . Mr. Narita -- he s a player , like , for reals , you know , so this whole--
Theresa : No , we had a connection , Anne , okay ? It was nt some hookup .
Anne : Okay .
Theresa : Fine . Come on , let s go find him , and you can see for yourself .
Anne : Okay , let s --
Theresa : Okay , go .
Tad : Oh , you just missed Sonny , but can I give him a message ?
Adrienne : Oh , um , that s okay . Do you know if he s spoken to will today ?
Lucas : I d like to know that myself .
Paul : I came in town for surgery .
Sonny : The shoulder .
Paul : It finally had to be done . Why are we talking ?
Anne : Hello ?
Theresa : Hey . Why is this door locked ? Is anyone in there ?
Anne : Hello ?
Abigail : Oh , God , Mel , I feel like I have nt had a real girlfriend since you left town .
Melanie : Well , I am irreplaceable .
Abigail : And so humble .
Abigail : You know , I feel like Gabi and I were close for a while , but you obviously know what happened .
Melanie : I do , yeah . But I know what she s going through right now . You know , she s being separated from her baby . I do nt know what s worse than that .
Abigail : You re being really nice , especially considering what she did to you .
Melanie : Well , I also know what nick did to her . I know first hand what it s like having nick control your life .
Abigail : Well , Gabi was nt the only one that nick was trying to control .
Melanie : What do you mean ?
Abigail : Nick knew about EJ , and he was threatening to come out about it , to go public when , uh -- before he died .
Melanie : He just could nt help himself ?
Abigail : No . Now he and Gabi are both gone . But you are here , and I m so grateful for that .
Melanie : I know . I m grateful too . Now I get to hang out with my best friend whenever I want .
Abigail : Oh , how cool is that ? So tell me , what else have you been doing ? Who else have you seen ?
Melanie : Okay . Uh , I ve seen Maggie and my dad , obviously , and t and Chad .
Jordan : Go ahead . I need to see my brother anyway .
Chad : Uh , will I--
Jordan : I - Ill see you soon .
Chad : Sorry to keep you waiting , father . What s up ?
Stefano : We have to handle your co - CEO , Katerina .
Clyde : You came over here to chew me out about spilling the beans to Jordan . But I thought we covered that .
Kate : Not completely .
Clyde : Well , I m all ears .
Kate : Well , obviously that s not true .
Clyde : [ Chuckles ] You want to chat ? Negotiate ?
Kate : I want to make sure we understand each other .
Clyde : Oh , sweetheart , I understood you from the moment I first saw you that day in poplar bluff .
Kate : Really ? No mystery at all ?
Clyde : I would nt say that . You ve made this into a very mysterious dance . But eventually the music s got to stop . And you need to get off your feet .
Will : Grandma , you sound so upset . What s wrong ? Are you okay ?
Marlena : I m fine . And I know you re there helping your mother . And I know that you have a full - time job .
Will : Try double - time .
Marlena : But you also have other responsibilities , will .
Will : Will you just tell me , did , um -- did something happen ?
Marlena : When was the last time you spoke to Sonny ?
Will : Is he okay ?
Marlena : Well , if you even have to ask ...
Will : The time zone is a killer . Sonny s swamped with the new club . We re fine . Grandma , do nt worry .
Marlena : And what about Gabi ? When she gave you permission to take Arianna out of the state , you made some promises to her . When was the last time you sent her photographs ?
Will : Dad said he was going to bring some over to her .
Marlena : I said , when was the last time you sent her photographs ? When was the last time that you had a video chat that included Gabi and Arianna ?
Will : You do nt know the pressure I m under , grandma . These people expect so much more from me than I ever thought .
Marlena : Can you even compare that to the pressure of trying to get through a day in prison ?
Will : No .
Marlena : Look , will , nobody begrudges you your success . We re all very happy for you . But do you realize the only thing keeping Gabi sane in that place is news of her daughter .
Will : I ll take care of that right now . Thanks , grandma . I got to run .
Tad : I do nt think it s a state secret . I asked Sonny this morning what he s heard from will , and he said nothing .
Adrienne : So they have nt spoken ?
Tad : Nope . And Sonny s not too happy about it . Oh , excuse me .
Adrienne : Three days . They have nt spoken in three days .
Lucas : Well , it s not personal . I ve had trouble getting will on the phone myself .
Adrienne : Lucas , we re the parents . We re last on the call list . Will is nt making time for his husband .
Lucas : His husband is pretty busy himself , as we both can see .
Adrienne : You know I adore will , but ever since he left for L.A. , Things have gone south for the two of them . And I m sorry , but will s dropping the ball here .
Lucas : I know , Adrienne . I know . You re right . You re right .
Adrienne : I m concerned for them ... both of them .
Lucas : But mainly for Sonny , right ? You know what ? Frankly , I do nt think will s been very fair with Sonny , either .
Anne : This door should not be locked .
Theresa : Someone has to be in there .
Anne : Well , I think I have a master key .
Paul : They ca nt find me here with you . You have to hide .
Sonny : No , I m not hiding . No way in hell .
Paul : Fine .
Anne : Hello ? Hello ?
Theresa : Hey .
Sonny : Hi .
Theresa : Hey . Why was the door locked ?
Sonny : I do nt know . I did nt lock it . I had my hands full , so I just kind of kicked it closed .
Theresa : Um , okay .
Anne : Let s just go to P.T. , Just in case , okay ?
Theresa : Yeah , sure .
Sonny : Are you looking for someone ?
Theresa : Uh , just -- he s a new , very good friend , so ... okay .
Sonny : You can come out of the closet now . Oh , that s right . You ll never come out of the closet . Discover the power of just one shower .
Abigail : So you went to see Chad -- on purpose ?
Melanie : Yeah , yeah , I wanted to get it out of the way . You know , just to make sure he knew that nothing was ever going to happen between us , that my being in town was just a coincidence .
Abigail : And how did he take that ?
Melanie : Are you feeling sorry for him ?
Abigail : What ? No , no , not-- not exactly .
Melanie : Abby , I thought you were clear how you felt .
Abigail : I am . I totally am .
Melanie : But ?
Abigail : But I do nt know . When Chad first got back to Salem , he was furious at me for sleeping with EJ .
Melanie : Well , EJ manipulated you .
Abigail : No , he did nt . That s -- that s not true . I never blamed EJ for what happened with us . I was stupid , and Chad had every right to be angry with me-- I mean , for the rest of his life , if he wanted to .
Melanie : Why are you talking in past tense ?
Abigail : Because he-- things changed , and I do nt know if it was maybe EJ getting killed or what , but Chad -- he s done some good things lately .
Melanie : [ Scoffs ] Like what ?
Abigail : Like getting me my job back at the university hospital . I mean , my God , Mel , that was incredible . Sami had me blackballed for life practically , and Chad fixed that .
Melanie : So he did something nice .
Abigail : Yeah , he did .
Melanie : Okay , then you really need to watch your back , because I feel like the only time Chad is nice anymore is when he wants something .
Chad : I know what I m doing , father . I do not need another lecture about Kate .
Stefano : Did you know that she is seeing a man named Clyde Weston ?
Chad : Yes , I know all about him .
Stefano : [ Laughs ] I doubt that very much . Anyway , I am still digging up information , see ? He is a two - bit thug dressed up like a country bumpkin .
Chad : [ Chuckles ] Yeah , that s him .
Stefano : He shows up out of nowhere , all right ? And is connected to your new girlfriend .
Chad : I would nt jump the gun on that one .
Stefano : And his son is dating your ex Abigail .
Chad : Yes , I know . I am paying attention .
Stefano : [ Chuckles ] Have you thought this through , huh ? What this could do to your plan ?
Chad : I promise . I ve got this .
Stefano : If Jordan finds out that you are just using her , then ...
Chad : That wo nt happen . Listen , father , I have to go , but I ll be in touch with you soon .
Jordan : Oh , thank you for coming .
Ben : Yeah , sorry . I just got your message . It sounded serious .
Jordan : Yeah , it is . I just found out that Kate Roberts is the one that brought Clyde to Salem .
Ben : You re kidding me .
Jordan : Nope , and now they have become inseparable .
Adrienne : Thank you . I am so relieved . Normally , everybody just looks at me like I m the nosy busybody .
Lucas : Wait a minute . You think that s what I am ?
Adrienne : Do nt you want to jump in and tell will to get on it ?
Lucas : No , I do nt . Okay , maybe a little , I do , but it s the last thing he wants-- his parents in the middle of his marriage like that .
Adrienne : I agree . But no one wants to watch a train wreck in slow motion and do nothing to stop it either . And , yes , they re in love , but they re still kids-- married kids . Do you know what that s like ? Do you know how many ways you can screw that up ? Cause I do .
Lucas : Well , would you listen to anyone ?
Adrienne : Maybe ... if the right person said something in just the right way .
Lucas : It s painful how obvious you re being right now . You know that , right ?
Adrienne : I have no shame , especially when it works . So you gon na find out what s going on with will ?
Will : Here are the last two weeks with Ari . Quick for now , but more soon . Love , will .
Lucas : Voice mail .
Adrienne : What , no message ?
Lucas : No , he never checks them . I ll just keep calling until he picks up . Redial action here .
Paul : Just do nt ... not now .
Sonny : Fine . You re Theresa Donavon s new , very good friend , right ? Right , Paul ?
Paul : I better get back to my room .
Sonny : Yeah , go back to your room . You do nt want to be seen with me . People might think you caught the gay .
Paul : It s not like that , and you know it . Please , just come back and see me . We can spend more time together without being interrupted .
Sonny : Paul , wait . There s ... something you should know .
Will : [ Clears throat ] Dad , I m in a meeting right now . Is this an emergency ?
Lucas : Really ?
Will : Well , you keep calling , I m just wondering if someone got hurt .
Lucas : What s going on with you , will ?
Will : I told you .
Lucas : Yeah , I know . You re in a meeting . You re very busy . You told me the same thing when you stood me and the kids up at the Santa Monica pier .
Will : You saw me , dad . You saw how insane it is right now .
Lucas : Look , I know you re busy , and not returning your dad s call , well , that s one thing . I can -- I get that , you know . But , come on , man , you have nt talked to your husband in , like , three days .
Will : You know what , dad ? You re right . I will take care of that today .
Lucas : You will ? So you re going to call Sonny ?
Will : Definitely .
Theresa : Well , hey , handsome . Where d you go ?
Paul : I , uh , wanted to stretch my legs and see if I could find you .
Theresa : Well , here I am . What do you want to do about it ?
Paul : [ Chuckles nervously ]
Abigail : You know , you and Ben would really get along .
Melanie : Why ?
Abigail : Because he kind of hates Chad . Yeah , he thinks he s always playing some kind of angle .
Melanie : Smart and hot-- well done .
Abigail : Thank you .
Melanie : Listen to him , though , please ? Seriously , I do nt care what Chad has done , I want you to watch your back . I do nt think you can trust him , okay ? I feel like he s out for something .
Abigail : Okay , honestly , though , I do nt see what Chad gets out of me working at the hospital . But , yeah , I know . You re probably right -- I know .
Melanie : Yeah , well , we both kind of have the scars to prove it , so ... remind me of that , by the way , if he s ever nice to me .
Abigail : [ Chuckles ] Deal . Ugh ! Okay , I am due for work , but I want to take a quick selfie of us .
Melanie : Oh , really fast . I m having so much fun surprising people .
Abigail : Yeah , you do nt have too much fun with that , please .
Melanie : Hey , hey , even the people with clothes on is fun , so I m gon na keep on ...
Abigail : Okay , but you just saw t , so you know it s probably all over twitter by now ?
Melanie : Yeah , so I better move fast .
Abigail : Fine .
Melanie : Um , I will text you , and we will set up a time , okay ?
Abigail : Okay . I m so excited . God , I have really missed you .
Melanie : I know . I missed you too . See you soon .
Abigail : Okay . Oh , I have to go .
Clyde : My darling , that was well worth the wait .
Kate : [ Giggling ] Too on the nose for you ? You want a smoother line ?
Kate : No . No , this is funnier . It s so funny . Once again , Jordan s wrong . Hi , I m Henry Winkler
Paul : Yeah , I d love to pick up where we just left off but my agent just called .
Theresa : Ooh , a new contract ?
Paul : I do nt know . But you know , there s paperwork that s dangling right now and it could take a while .
Theresa : Oh , well , I do nt mind waiting .
Paul : Hours , I mean , this could take hours .
Theresa : Well , sure . I mean with all that money at stake . I assume , not that it matters .
Paul : Oh , it matters . I mean , but it s not everything .
Theresa : No , it is nt . It s about connection , is nt it ? I mean , what s the point of all that money if there s no one to share it with , right ?
Adrienne : Well , is will enjoying the job at least ?
Lucas : Yeah , yeah , I think he is , I think it s just a lot of stress for him . It s too much work , maybe , but he s enjoying it .
Adrienne : Well that s good . I mean , that s important .
Lucas : Sonny is important to him too .
Adrienne : And he ll remember that now thanks to your call . But it is a two way street . Sonny should nt get so wrapped up that he does nt make the time when will can find the time . And he s the one who encouraged him to go to la , so he s responsible in this too .
Lucas : Yeah . He needs a gentle reminder from you as well .
Adrienne : That s right .
Lucas : Yeah .
Adrienne : I need my husband to come home .
Lucas : Do you , really ?
Adrienne : Mm - hmm .
Lucas : Guess we could all use a little love in our lives .
Adrienne : But in the meantime , we can save our sons ?
Lucas : Great . It s a good day s work , right ?
Adrienne : I have to meet Kayla , I ll see you soon ?
Lucas : Yeah . Take care .
Adrienne : You too .
Lucas : Come on , will , just pick up the phone man .
Tad : Hey , you just missed your mom and Lucas .
Sonny : Yeah ?
Tad : Yeah , I told them that you went to the other location . Did you forget something ?
Sonny : Yeah , I ll go in a minute .
Tad : Or you can hang out and be very glad that you came back .
Melanie : Hi !
Sonny : Mel !
Melanie : I m back !
Marlena : Oh , Chad , how good to see you .
Chad : Dr. Evans .
Marlena : You know , I was just talking to Sami , who said that Johnny still has that little stuffed frog you gave him at the hospital .
Chad : Wow , that thing got so ratty I ca nt believe she did nt just make him throw it away .
Marlena : Me too . Well , you know , he misses you .
Chad : Well maybe I can go see them soon . I ve been kind of tied up here but--
Marlena : Yes , I heard you re the new co - CEO of DiMera enterprises .
Chad : Right , yeah .
Marlena : Well , how are you doing ?
Chad : Good , I think . Just learning the ropes and--
Marlena : No , no , I meant how are you ? How are you doing ?
Ben : So Kate just showed up in poplar bluff and said I know where your kids are ?
Jordan : Basically .
Ben : That was ... reckless .
Jordan : She did nt care . She just slept with Rafe , she was ready to finish me off .
Ben : Like she has a chance with Rafe .
Jordan : Maybe she did , who knows ? Maybe she does .
Ben : She s hanging around Clyde !
Jordan : He s just a smoke screen for her . What ? Say it .
Ben : Nothing .
Jordan : No , you want to say something .
Ben : Jordan , you wo nt hear it . You ca nt see that there s any good out of Clyde being here .
Jordan : And you do because he s paying for college ?
Ben : Because we can stop running . And if the guy s trying--
Jordan : Ah , you do nt know what the hell you re talking about .
Clyde : Now why would you bring up Tammy sue at a moment like this ?
Kate : That was kind of a buzz kill , was nt it ? But a couple of hours ago she was swearing to me that I was going to regret bringing you to Salem .
Clyde : You do nt .
Kate : Not today , I do nt .
Clyde : Well let s make sure you feel that way tonight ... and tomorrow . And the next day . ( Announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ?
Paul : You , uh , could be very bad for my bottom line .
Theresa : Oh , well that s flattering . But do nt worry , just call your agent , it wo nt happen .
Paul : Thanks for understanding .
Theresa : Mm - hmm , I ll , um , I ll check on you later .
Melanie : So when is will bringing Ari back ? I ca nt wait to see him .
Sonny : Yeah , me too .
Melanie : So , soon then ?
Sonny : It just depends on the studio and the notes and yada yada .
Melanie : Oh , yeah , for sure .
Sonny : Have you seen Abigail yet ?
Melanie : Yeah , and her naked boyfriend .
Tad : Ooh , there s a party .
Melanie : Thank you so much for that , by the way .
Tad : And yet , you didnt-- you did nt invite me .
Sonny : T.
Tad : Well , no , no , no , I gave her Ben s phone as an excuse to go see Abigail but I m pretty sure I did nt say bust in on a naked man .
Melanie : Okay , that -- that-- what -- Abigail thought it was really funny . The guy was a little bit freaked out so I did nt really necessarily meet him , so to speak , but um -- t says Abigail is happy , is that true ?
Tad : Oh , and suddenly we do nt trust my read on the situation . Sonny , back me up . Yo , Sonny , where are you ?
Sonny : Uh , I was just thinking of all the stuff that I should ve done this afternoon .
Melanie : Yeah , no , you guys are working men . I ll let you get back to that .
Tad : No , I m barely working . Hang out . [ Laughs ]
Melanie : I m going to go still surprise people before I become old news .
Tad : Yeah .
Sonny : You , girl , will never be old news . Come here .
Melanie : Thank you . I do nt know why I ever left you . Okay , bye , bye .
Theresa : Hey .
Anne : Oh , well look at you . I know it was not this Sumatra roast that put that smile on your face .
Theresa : More like the Japanese dream .
Anne : Oh , you found Mr. Narita ?
Theresa : Mm - hmm . He was out looking for me , oh ye of little faith .
Anne : Are you kidding me ? Wait , so he actually likes you ?
Theresa : Definitely .
Anne : I love it .
Theresa : Oh really ? I thought you d be jealous .
Anne : No , no , I am not a petty person , Theresa . I would think you would know this about me now . Anne wishes peace and joy for all beings . What ? You are my friend and I want you to be happy .
Theresa : Almost .
Anne : Listen , let me tell you something . You walk out of here on the arm of a high profile , high dollar catch like Paul Narita and certain of my enemies they re gon na turn green , they re gon na wilt , and they re gon na die of envy .
Theresa : Oh , well there you are , Anne . I missed you so much .
Anne : St. Daniel and her royal horton - ness and her bony slut of a daughter . They re gon na puke themselves when they see it .
Abigail : Ugh , this is never a good sign . What are you two witches brewing today ?
Chad : I m just fine . Great , actually .
Marlena : That s remarkable .
Chad : How is that ?
Marlena : Well , first you took a bullet that saved your brother s life , then you came home , and then your brother was killed .
Chad : Well you forgot the middle bit where he slept with my old girlfriend . Kind of softened the blow .
Marlena : I bet you wish that were true .
Chad : Uh , I ll give Sami and the kids a call . Thank you for that . It s nice seeing you .
Clyde : Mmm .
Kate : [ Giggles ] Well-- do they put something in the southern Missouri water ? I just want to know .
Clyde : Nah , I think it s the chicory in the coffee .
Kate : Oh . What ?
Clyde : You re a marvel , Kate . You re beautiful , smart as a whip , great instincts .
Kate : And I m here with you , right ?
Clyde : Well , we could make a hell of a team .
Jordan : Clyde is playing you , Ben . I mean , get what you can , you deserve anything that scum will cough up .
Ben : And what if Clyde really does want to change ?
Jordan : He s throwing money at you .
Ben : And he s seeing Dr. Evans . Yeah , a psychiatrist , a damn good one .
Jordan : Okay , maybe that s what he told you but--
Ben : No , no , he did nt tell me . He had her card . I accidentally saw it .
Jordan : And let me guess , he dropped it right in front of you ?
Ben : Well at first he tried to deny it , but then I just kept at him and he admitted it .
Jordan : Oh , my God , that unbelievable bastard .
Ben : What ? Wait , Jordan ! Wait ! Jordan !
Anne : Mmm , new coffee . It s no better than the old crap despite the much higher cost . Was this your idea , honey ?
Abigail : You know , Anne , I think it tastes delicious .
Anne : Oh .
Theresa : Oh , I bet you re just so proud of your barista boyfriend serving this up everyday .
Abigail : I am .
Theresa : Mm , it s a different change of pace from the most powerful men in town , right ?
Anne : Yeah , much more your speed .
Abigail : I m a really lucky woman and Ben is a great guy .
Theresa : Oh , keep telling yourself that .
Abigail : I will , thanks . What do you two tell yourselves ?
Theresa : Oh , actually--
Anne : [ Cutting her off ]
Theresa : I do nt know , Abigail , I just sit at home eating ice cream all day watching women in peril movies .
Anne : [ Laughs ] That s good .
Abigail : That s really sad , Theresa . Well at least you have your cats to keep you company . That s so good of you to keep adopting .
Anne : You know it s funny . It s not the face of a snarky bitch .
Abigail : And it s not the coffee that s bitter . So what did you say your E.R.A. Was ?
Sonny : That was a lifetime ago .
Sonny : Hey , there .
Will : What are you doing ?
Sonny : Well , we have the foundation and bare walls up at the club and--
Will : No . I mean , what are you doing ? Do you have a Facebook page that counts down how many days since I last called you ?
Sonny : No , what are you--
Will : Here s my morning . My grandmother calls me to chew me out for not staying in touch with Gabi and you . And then my dad calls and lets me have it for not calling you . So , Sonny , I repeat , what are you doing ?
Sonny : Nothing . People ask me questions and I answer .
Will : And if I look like a heel in the process , that s just fine ? Sonny , the full draft is due in four days .
Sonny : Yeah , you texted me .
Will : The studio , they re calling me like every hour to find out how it s going .
Will : And that s them . Again , here we go .
Sonny : Take it .
Will : I have to . I ll call soon but , in the meantime , Sonny , will you please just tell everyone that I did speak to you ?
Sonny : Right . You really spoke .
Ben : Thanks a lot , man . Great way to meet Abigail s best friend .
Tad : Hey , did I say be naked when the messenger arrived with your phone ? No , no , that was your own artistic , personal choice .
Ben : Yeah .
Chad : Ooh , what happened ?
Ben : It s nothing .
Tad : Melanie wanted to surprise Abigail at Ben s house but yet she was the one who ended up with the surprise . Full Monty .
Chad : Ooh , that would be a surprise . Melanie must wonder why after what Abigail s used to she d settle for a smaller , more economy package .
Jordan : Open up you bastard , I know you re in there . Dammit , Clyde , open this door .

Greg : Sure . Of course .
Marty : Thanks .
Greg : So who s taking you home ?
Marty : I am . John would , but he s in the middle of a case . I m fine .
Greg : You know the rules .
Marty : I m not a risk for liability .
Greg : There s also your safety and well - being to think about . I m sorry , Marty , but I ca nt sign this .
Marty : You know what ? Fine . I ll call my son .
Cole : I really appreciate you stepping up for me . Whatever happens , I got your back .
Hannah : And I have yours .
Brody : Ahem . Hey , Cole , I m sorry for the holdup . I have nt been able to get you representation yet . Do nt worry . I m on it .
Cole : Thanks .
Hannah : Um ... are the cops here this nice to everybody ?
Cole : Well , my mom s dating the chief of detectives .
Hannah : Ah . I guess that helps .
Cole : A little , and the guy I beat up -- Todd Manning -- you can count how many fans he has on ... one hand .
Blair : Well , Viki is nt here , Todd , but we can certainly call her if you want , get her here for you .
Todd : What about John ?
Téa : Why would John be here ?
John : You re under arrest .
Téa : What the hell do you think you re doing ?
John : I have a warrant . Todd Manning , you re under arrest for the attempted murder of Marty Saybrooke and the murder of her unborn child .
Kelly : Okay , put the poker down before you knock somebody s eye out , namely mine .
Dorian : I said we need security up here at the house . Now . Aah ! What ? What s that ?
Kelly : What s what ?
Dorian : I heard the sound of someone ... lurking .
Kelly : Okay , what does lurking sound like ? Come on , Dorian . It had to be a squirrel or a bird . Maybe it s the wind . It s windy out .
Dorian : Please ! The wind ? That s what people try to convince themselves they re hearing just before an intruder comes up behind them , grabs them by the throat , and brings them down .
Dorian : Aah !
Kelly : Aah !
Dorian : Oh , God . You know , I think we better ramp things down . We ve got ta get control . Come on . We ll get control of ourselves . Control , that s all . Whew . Okay . Breathe , breathe , breathe .
Dorian : Security , what s going on ? Oh . No , no , no . That s right . He s on the list . Thank you .
Dorian : Hello , Eli . How nice of you to stop by . Come in .
Eli : So is Blair ready ?
Dorian : Blair ? Ready ? Ready for what ?
Eli : We have plans tonight .
Dorian : Oh , of course . Ha ha . Oh , yes . Are you gon na be taking her out someplace special ?
Eli : I might have something special in mind .
Dorian : Oh . I ca nt wait to hear about it . I m so pleased that Blair is finally dating a fine , upstanding gentleman for a change .
Kelly : Eli , Blair is nt here .
Eli : That s odd . I told her I d pick her up here . Hope nothing s happened .
Téa : You ca nt be serious . Todd s just regained consciousness .
John : He looks all right to me .
Starr : Mom , you have to do something .
Blair : John , really , come on . His heart just stopped . I mean , is nt there a better time ? Can this wait ?
John : It s delaying the inevitable .
Dani : I need to get some water .
John : You know , Manning , you got away with a lot of things in the past . You re not getting away with this one .
Viki : Oh . Hold on . You re Danielle , are nt you ? What s wrong , sweetheart ? You okay ?
Starr : I know how this is starting to look , but my dad did nt do this .
Todd : Starr .
Téa : Todd . Listen to me . Todd is the victim of a violent crime , not the perpetrator . You have your priorities mixed up , Mr. McBain .
John : Why do nt we let a jury decide ?
Téa : Okay . A gym full of people just witnessed Cole Thornhart beat Todd almost to death just a few hours ago . Why not focus on a crime you can prove ?
Hannah : I wonder what s taking Detective McBain so long . Hey . Cole , what s wrong ?
Cole : I just ... saw what time it was .
Hannah : What do you mean ?
Cole : It s Hope s bedtime . Normally , Starr and I are reading her a book ... singing her a song . Kissing her good night . And I m not there tonight .
Hannah : Hey . You ll see her again soon .
Brody : It s your mom . Marty , it s Brody Lovett .
Marty : Brody ? I m -- I was looking for my son . Why are you answering his phone ?
Brody : First thing you need to know is he s okay .
Marty : What s wrong ?
Brody : He s been arrested .
Marty : Arrested ?
Brody : We have him here at the station . We re taking good care of him .
Marty : I m on my way .
Greg : Marty , you ca nt leave . You know the rules .
Marty : Yeah , and I m breaking them .
Greg : Marty !
Starr : John ...
John : Hmm .
Starr : What s gon na happen to Cole ?
John : Cole s in custody right now . Brody s with him . He s gon na be okay .
Todd : Who cares ?
Blair : Maybe your daughter and granddaughter do , Todd .
Todd : I m the one in the hospital , are nt I ?
John : Well , Cole s down at the station , so he ca nt hurt you anymore .
Todd : I want to press charges .
Starr : Ca nt you just wait until--
Todd : Until what ?
Blair : Listen , you re not doing yourself any good , all right ?
Todd : Cole did this to me . I did nt do anything .
John : Marty and an eyewitness say different .
Bo : You here to celebrate my last night in lockdown ?
Matthew : That , and I was wondering if you could help me with something .
Bo : Girl trouble ?
Matthew : How do you always know ?
Bo : Well , come on . It s my job . Let s hear it .
Matthew : It s Dani .
Dani : You re my , uh ... you re my Aunt Viki , right ?
Viki : Mm - hmm .
Dani : I ve seen pictures .
Viki : I ve seen pictures of you , too , but they do nt do you justice .
Dani : Thanks , but I have to go .
Viki : Wait , wait , Danielle . Honey , you seem awfully upset . Do you want to talk about it ? I m right here .
Dani : I mean , what am I supposed to do ? Slobber all over an aunt I barely even know ?
Viki : All my other nieces slobber all over me . I ve never minded . So it s only fair that you would , too . What s wrong ? Is it Todd ? What happened ?
Viki : Oh , honey .
Todd : What about Cole ? Is he gon na pay for this ?
John : Do nt worry about Cole . We re gon na get him a good lawyer .
Todd : Ah , yeah . Playing favorites .
Blair : Todd , come on . Stop .
Todd : Cole tried to kill me , and John s gon na let him go . Are nt you , John ?
Marty : Cole . Are you all right ?
Cole : Mom , I m fine .
Marty : Oh , my gosh . Get these off of him .
Brody : Afraid I ca nt do that .
Marty : Why ? He s not going anywhere .
Brody : I wish I could , but in a situation like this--
Marty : What situation ? What did my son supposedly do that was so awful ?
Brody : He tried to kill Todd Manning .
Dorian : Eli , wo nt you come in here , make yourself comfortable while you wait for Blair ?
Eli : Thank you . Hope I m not interrupting .
Dorian : No , not at all . There is , after all , safety in numbers .
Kelly : Come on , Dorian .
Eli : I m not following .
Dorian : Kelly and I were just discussing the questionable circumstances surrounding her mother s death .
Eli : Right . Blair mentioned that you and John McBain went to California to investigate . She was under the impression that you had nt turned up anything .
Kelly : A patient from the sanitarium , a friend of my mother s , showed up at my office today claiming he witnessed my mother s murder .
Dorian : And then ... when Kelly left her office for a little while , when she came back ... that man was dead .
Eli : So you think he was murdered , too ?
Kelly : That s what I think , but John is nt so sure .
Téa : This is harassment .
John : He s a criminal with a private jet . The judge considered him a flight risk .
Téa : He s also in the E.R. , suffering from near - catastrophic injuries .
John : Well , then , you should nt be moving him around . He ll heal faster .
Todd : I m gon na be exonerated .
John : It s not gon na happen .
Téa : I am going to sue you for this , Mr. McBain .
John : Well , then you might start preparing for the wrongful death suit that Marty s gon na file against you .
Téa : A countersuit ? Is that the best you ve got ?
John : No , that s -- that s her thing . I do nt sue . I m ... I m gon na watch him go to trial . And I ll be there when a jury finds him guilty .
Kelly : John could nt find any evidence that Rodney died of anything other than natural causes .
Dorian : Please ! It could not have been a mere coincidence . The man shows up in your office , says he knows who killed your mother , and then he just suddenly dies ?
Eli : Excuse me . Be wise to listen to your aunt , Kelly . She s right to be concerned about your safety . Pardon me .
Dorian : There . You see ? Eli agrees with me . You know , if you had a boyfriend like that , you would nt need a bodyguard .
Kelly : Will you just drop it ? I do nt need a boyfriend or a bodyguard .
Eli : Ladies , I am so sorry . I have to go .
Dorian : What about your date with Blair ?
Eli : I have a feeling we re both gon na be busy with the same thing .
Kelly : What s wrong ?
Eli : Todd Manning s in the hospital , and apparently Cole Thornhart put him there .
Dorian : Way to go , Cole ! Mm !
Todd : McBain s really lost it .
Téa : The man lost a baby , Todd . He s suffering .
Todd : What am I doing ?
Téa : If you ask me , you re not helping yourself .
Todd : Just get me out of this .
Téa : Me ?
Todd : Who else ?
Greg : Come in .
John : Dr. Evans , you got a minute ?
Greg : Yeah , of course . Come on in .
John : Thanks .
Greg : I heard something happening in the E.R.
John : Todd Manning s been admitted . I apologize in advance for any trouble it causes your staff .
Greg : Well , that ll give us incentive to get him better faster .
John : Then he should be out of here and into a cell in no time .
Greg : Hey , I spoke with Marty and I just wanted to let you know that I m very sorry for your loss . I hope Manning is punished for what he did .
John : Thanks . Yeah , uh , actually , I m looking for Marty . I went to her room but she was nt there .
Greg : Oh . I thought she d have reached you by now . Marty s gone .
Marty : Cole tried to kill Todd ? Who told you that -- Todd ? Because it s a lie .
Cole : Mom .
Marty : No , first he came after me . Now he s coming after my son !
Cole : Mom .
Brody : I m gon na let you two talk .
Marty : Honey , do nt worry about it . I m gon na get you off of this . As soon as I tell John what s going on--
Cole : John knows all about it , okay ? Look , it s true . I did it .
Marty : What ?
Eli : Cole ?
Cole : Hey , Eli .
Eli : Officer Lovett says you need representation .
Marty : Yes . Definitely .
Eli : Well , you got me . Want to tell me what happened ?
Cole : I went after Todd Manning . I put him in the hospital .
Marty : Cole , why ?
Cole : Why ? Why ? After what he did to you ? He pushed my mom down a flight of stairs . She lost her baby because of him . You think I could just let that slide ?
Marty : No , but John and I asked you not to go after him . You promised us .
Cole : Mom , I know , but that was before we had proof .
Marty : What proof ? What proof ?
Cole : Hannah saw it happen .
Dani : Todd ... my father ... he stopped breathing . His heart stopped beating . They thought he was gon na die . The doctors saved him . But just after they did , the police came to arrest him for hurting Cole s mom . They say he killed her baby . I was this close to giving him a chance . This close . I thought for one minute that maybe we could get to know each other .
Viki : Well , you still can .
Dani : How ? After-- how can anybody care about a person like that ?
Dorian : Bravo , Cole ! Oh , I always did like that young man . Although , you know , maybe we should help start a defense fund .
Kelly : All right , listen , I ll be back in a little while .
Dorian : Where are you going ? Oh , please not to the hospital .
Kelly : Yes , I m going to the hospital to check on Todd .
Dorian : Why ?
Kelly : Because . To see if he s all right . And to support Blair and Starr , who are out of their minds with worry .
Dorian : Fine . Give them my love . And take my gun .
Kelly : I m not taking the gun .
Dorian : At least let me take one of the security guards . We ll upgrade him to your bodyguard . You know , somebody unobtrusive .
Kelly : I told you , I do nt want one .
Dorian : Do you think Rodney would ve said the same thing ?
Kelly : You know what ? Fine . You do whatever you want . I m gon na tell you something . If someone wanted me out of the way , I d be dead by now .
Téa : You okay ? I m so sorry you had to be there ... for all of that .
Dani : I m okay . So what happened in there ? Did Detective McBain really arrest Todd ?
Téa : Uh , yes , he did .
Dani : So they re gon na put him on trial .
Téa : Um ... it looks like it . Not right away but ... but soon enough .
Dani : He s gon na go to prison ?
Téa : Not if I have anything to say about it .
Dani : You mean you re going to represent him ?
Téa : I m his lawyer , Dani .
Dani : So you believe him . After everything he s done , you think he s innocent ?
Starr : I m sorry , Dad . I have to go , okay ?
Todd : You gon na see Cole ?
Blair : Come on , Todd . Easy .
Todd : Starr ... honey , I swear to you ... I had nothing to do with Marty losing her baby .
Blair : A girl saw you , Todd .
Todd : She s lying .
Blair : Why would she lie about something like that ?
Todd : I do nt know . I do nt care . Starr ... Starr , I can not do this on my own . I want you to tell me . I want you to tell me you know it s not my fault . You do know that , right ?
Starr : I ll see you tomorrow . I love you .
Todd : I ca nt believe my own daughter ...
Blair : You ca nt believe what ? Really ? After everything that you ve done to Marty , to Cole , and to Starr , you ca nt believe -- you re lucky that that child has nt written you off years ago .
Todd : I should ve known you d never believe me .
Blair : I tell you what I do know . That someone caused that baby s death . So tell me , Todd-- is that baby dead because of you ?
Eli : You saw Todd Manning push Dr. Saybrooke down a flight of stairs ?
Marty : I want to hear everything that happened . First I need to know that you re okay . He did nt do anything to you , did he ?
Hannah : No . I m fine . Now , anyway . Cole s been a really good friend . I was there looking for you so that we could find some time to talk . I was on my way to your office ...
Hannah : And Mr. Manning was right behind you when you went into the stairwell . And I was a few steps behind him . And right when I opened the door , that s when I saw him push you .
Cole : She would ve said something sooner , but she was scared . Todd had just threatened me . And now with my mom ... so she panicked and ... when she finally calmed down , she realized that she could nt just leave you there . So she came back for help .
Hannah : But when I came back , you were already in the E.R. I m so sorry that I left you there . But he just looked so crazy . I was terrified that he was gon na come after me .
Cole : Hannah finally spoke up when she heard that you lost your baby . And when she told me ... I just lost it . Todd Manning killed your baby , my little brother or sister ... and almost killed you . What was I -- what was I supposed to do ? So when I -- when I found him , I had to make sure that he would never hurt anyone again . I m not sorry for what I ve done , and I would do it again .
Matthew : Cole lost his mind and Starr kept yelling at him , but he just -- he just kept wailing on Todd . It took a bunch of us to pull him off . The worst part is Dani was right there . She saw the whole thing .
Bo : How are Dani and Starr now ? It s got ta be rough on both of them .
Matthew : Yeah , it was , especially for Dani . I mean , she hated her father from the moment she met him , but ... tonight was different .
Bo : How ?
Matthew : When Dani was looking at Todd , when he could nt open his eyes , I kind of saw myself . I remembered how sad I was when you were shot . I was thinking about how much time I wasted when I could nt walk being mad at you . But I guess it s different for Dani because she never really got to know her dad in the first place .
Bo : How s Manning doing now ?
Matthew : EMTs took him to the emergency room . That s all I know . I just want to find Dani and just tell her everything s gon na be okay , even if it is nt .
Dani : You really believe that Todd did nt hurt Cole s mom ?
Téa : I do nt know .
Dani : You do nt know ? And you re defending him anyway ?
Téa : He needs a lawyer , honey .
Dani : Well , why does it have to be you ?
Téa : Because everyone deserves a good defense , and I want you to have a life--
Dani : Oh , no , do nt you dare make this about me , Mom ! I do nt want that man in my life . He deserves to be punished for what he did , and if you ca nt see that , then I do nt want you in my life , either .
Téa : Dani . Dani !
Viki : You know what ? Téa , let me go .
Todd : I should ve known you d never believe me .
Blair : I want you to tell me .
Kelly : Am I interrupting ?
Blair : What do you think ?
Todd : No .
Kelly : How are you feeling ?
Blair : He s fine .
Kelly : How are you and Starr ? This has to be awful for you , too .
Blair : A lot better than Marty .
Kelly : I know . I ... I heard , and I feel for her , but Cole attacked Todd ? What is that about ?
Blair : Well , it s about the fact that there s an eyewitness that said that she saw Todd push Marty down a flight of stairs .
Todd : I did not do it .
Blair : Would you give it a rest ? You re not gon na get any sympathy from Kelly .
Kelly : Actually , he is , because I do nt believe it s true .
Bo : I ve been where you are , son . The only thing harder than seeing somebody that you really care about hurting is knowing the right thing to say ... and when to say anything at all .
Matthew : Is that what it was like for you and mom when I could nt walk ?
Bo : Yeah . Pretty much . All you want is to make things better . I ll bet you re itching right now to ride off to Dani s rescue .
Matthew : How d you know ? Right . It s your job .
Bo : Yeah . Yeah , there s that . And it s also the -- the Buchanan curse .
Matthew : Why is it a curse to help the people who you care about ?
Bo : Because sometimes those people do nt need your help . Sometimes they -- they do nt even want it . Just ask your mom .
Matthew : Well , how do you know when to help and when not to ?
Bo : Well , in this case , if it were me , I would give Dani room . Because I m sure that she is feeling things right now that-- some of them are very complicated , and she may be embarrassed to have you see her feeling them .
Matthew : Well , she should nt be embarrassed . I guess she probably ca nt help it .
Bo : Well , yeah . There s that . There s also the fact that you ca nt just disappear .
Matthew : Then what should I do , Dad ?
Bo : You let her know that you are holding a lifeline . She ll let you know when it s time to throw it .
Matthew : I do nt know . Dani does nt really like to ask for help .
Bo : Yeah , well , that s when the curse then becomes a blessing , because after you ve done all of that , and you still feel that need to go to her , then you know it s right . And I ll tell you something . Nobody comes to the rescue better than a Buchanan .
Viki : Hey . Are you all right ?
Dani : I do nt get my mother .
Viki : Hmm . Show me a daughter your age who does .
Dani : Seriously , how could she be so blind ?
Viki : I hate to admit it , Danielle , but that blindness is something that Téa and I actually share . We both love Todd , even though we know we should nt .
Dani : Well , if you know you should nt , then--
Viki : Then why do we ? I know . It s a good question . You should meet my daughter Natalie -- she s your cousin-- because she s asked me that same question dozens of times .
Dani : What do you tell her ?
Viki : He s my brother . And he s done terrible things . I know that . And because of that , he s an easy mark . But I still love him because I m convinced that deep down somewhere in Todd , there is good . In fact , a long time ago , I made a very conscious choice to never give up on him . And everyone who loves Todd has to at some point make that decision . I m sorry that you have to face it so young .
Dani : So did Starr . Somehow , she still manages to love him no matter what . I do nt think I can do that .
Viki : Starr ... Todd has been in Starr s life since she was a baby . You know , you just met him . But Starr will tell you that for all of Todd s faults , he really , really does love his children . Now , if you -- if you can love him , that s great . If you can not , then that s it . You ca nt . Just know that whatever you decide , I will support you in that , just as I support Todd . And that s no matter what .
Blair : Well , apparently you know more about what happened to Marty than everybody else does , Kelly .
Kelly : No . I ca nt see it . I mean , obviously Todd is not a saint , but he s come a long way . And does anybody really believe that he s capable of pushing a pregnant woman down the stairs ?
Blair : He did it to his own daughter .
Todd : That was an accident .
Blair : You know , Kelly , I ca nt believe that you re actually stupid enough to trust Todd with no questions asked . You know , someday the wrong person is gon na walk into your life , and you know what ? It s gon na be your funeral .
Dorian : Shaun , this is Mayor Dorian Lord leaving a message . I need once again to call upon your services to protect the Cramer family . Hey , dude ... my Kelly s in danger and I need you to watch her back , and her front , and her side . Whatever . I need you ... to protect her life , even if she does nt want anyone to .
Kelly : I did not come here to argue with you .
Blair : Okay . Why are you here then ?
Kelly : Because I wanted to make sure ... that the two of you and Starr were all right .
Blair : Well , you know what , Kelly ? We so appreciate your heartfelt concern . We re just fine . Okay ? Now , Todd needs his rest .
Kelly : I m sure he does . I will be holding things down at The Sun . Okay ?
Todd : Cole s face on the front page .
Kelly : I do nt know . That way Starr would disown you sooner rather than later . I do nt think so , buddy . Good night .
Todd : Why ca nt you be more like your cousin ?
Blair : If I find out ... that you re responsible for that baby s death ... I ll kill you myself .
Marty : Can you get my son out of this ?
Eli : First things first . I need to see about his arraignment . I m afraid at this hour , it s gon na be too late to secure his release .
Marty : Oh , so he has to stay in jail ?
Eli : Hopefully only for the night .
Marty : Okay , well , thank you for helping , and is there anything I should be doing ?
Eli : My advice would be to go home , get some rest . Tomorrow s going to be a long day . And I am sorry about your loss .
Marty : Thank you .
Eli : Not a word to the police , Cole . And do nt give them a hard time , either .
Cole : I wo nt .
Eli : I ll see you first thing in the morning .
John : Hey . I m sorry . I went looking for you at the hospital to tell you what happened , and by the time I got there , they told me you had gone .
Cole : Was Starr there ?
John : Yeah . Last I saw her , she was with her father .
Marty : So Todd s alive ?
John : Yeah . I put him under arrest . Thanks to you .
Brody : They re ready for Cole in booking .
John : Yeah ? I tell you what . I m gonna-- I m gon na walk Cole through booking . Stay here and I ll be back in a few minutes . I ll take you home .
Marty : No , I can get myself home . I would appreciate you staying with Cole as long as you could .
John : You sure ?
Marty : Yes .
John : Look , I promise nothing s gon na happen to him .
Marty : I m gon na hold you to that . Hey . Love you .
Cole : Me too .
Marty : Okay ? All right . And thank you .
Cole : Is Manning really gon na make it ?
John : Yeah , it looks that way .
Marty : John and I are gon na have this baby , and there s nothing you can do about it . Cole and Starr , they love each other , and there s nothing you can do about it . We are all , all of us , going to be happy . And there is nothing you can do about it .
Todd : We ll see .
Matthew : Thanks for the advice , Dad . I ll try to use it .
Bo : Okay .
Matthew : I just hope no one makes a move while I give her space .
Bo : Whoa , whoa , whoa . Whoa right there . Is there another guy involved in all of this ?
Matthew : I do nt know . Probably not .
Bo : Well , I think if there is , then that s gon na change everything altogether . Some other guy does nt bust a move on Dani . You bust your own move first . You know ? It s like a wise man is known to have said , ball till you fall . Yo .
Matthew : Dad , I do nt think that means what you think it means .
Bo : All right , then I ll make you a deal , okay ? I ll keep giving you advice and you keep me up to speed on what the young people are saying these days , all right ? Because I got ta be ready for Snoop when he shows up at the wedding . Deal ?
Matthew : Word .
Bo : Word .
Matthew : Hey . No fingerprints .
Bo : Huh ?
Dani : Aunt Viki ...
Viki : Yes , honey ?
Dani : Thanks for listening .
Viki : I am always available if you want to talk , okay ? Especially about your father . And I m sure your mother is , too .
Greg : Téa ? Got a minute ?
Téa : Yeah . Uh ... [ Telephone chimes ] Sure .
Dani : Could you please just leave me alone ?
Nate : Okay . I just wanted to tell you you have good aim . You nearly took my head off .
Téa : Look , I know what this is about , and I want to tell you that you do nt have to keep hounding me , okay ? I have already made an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow to go over the test results , okay ?
Greg : I know . I ve already spoken with your doctor . I actually have your test results right here .
Dorian : Stop leaning on the doorbell ! May I help you ?
Man : I hope so . I m looking for Kelly Cramer .
Blair : Hey , hey , hey , wait .
Kelly : What the hell is the matter with you ?
Blair : You . And we re gon na have this out right here , right now .
Starr : What s going on ? What happened ?
John : Cole s gon na have to spend the night here . I ll give you a minute .
Cole : Brody called Eli . He thinks I might get out tomorrow after I m arraigned .
Starr : Okay , I ll be there . My dad s gon na be okay . You do nt even care , do you ?
Cole : I care about you .
Brody : Hey . Cole . We got ta go . Come on .
Starr : You re not going anywhere .
Hannah : Look , I really ca nt do this again . I ...
Starr : Not until you tell me what happened , and all of it .
Todd : What do you want ?

### Dialogue:
Shawn D. : What , you re already ready for bed ?
Belle : Yeah , I was tired . How was work ?
Shawn D. : The bar was busy . If you watch Claire for you .
Belle : Oh , no . That s okay . It s late .
Shawn D. : Come on . It s not late . Get out and enjoy the warm breeze and the moonlight . I ll -- I ll wait up for you .
Belle : No , that s okay . I can go on my walk tomorrow .
Shawn D. : You remember when I rigged that privacy screen in the cabin on the ship ?
Belle : Yeah . I also remember thinking how considerate it was of you to do that for me .
Shawn D. : I guess I thought it would be ... easier if I put a sheet between us for us to both sleep in the same room together , but ... it s not .
Belle : As in not having sex . Why does it always come back to that ?
Shawn D. : It does nt always .
Belle : Can we please not have this conversation again ?
Shawn D. : You do nt have a problem talking to other people about it . Gabby told me what you said .
Belle : I did not talk to Gabby about our sex life .
Shawn D. : No , you did nt , but you told her -- you warned her -- to stay away from me .
Belle : I did not warn her .
Shawn D. : Yes , you did . You wanted her to know that we were a couple and to keep her distance . In other words , you do nt want me , but you do nt want somebody else to have me . That s the message that I m getting . Unless I m wrong about that , too .
Kayla : Are you gon na be okay ?

Kate : Oh , Roman . Thank God . Thank God I found you . I need your help .
Roman : Kate , we re right in the middle of something here . It s called dinner .
Kate : I understand that , but Sami has done something terrible , or she s about to , and you re the only one who can stop her .
Sami : [ Sighs ] You have given me no choice , E.J. I have to do this . [ Sighs ] God forgive me . Ow ! Damn it . All right . You did this to me . You turned me into a murderer . And I will never forgive you for that . Damn it . Damn it , I ca nt do it ! No matter how sick and twisted you are ... I ca nt kill you .
Announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the Days of our Lives
Belle : I should have known Gabby would go running to you .
Shawn D. : Gabby just wants me to know she respects our relationship ... whatever that is .
Belle : All gabby wants is to start trouble for us , Shawn .
Shawn D. : We are in trouble , Belle , in case you have nt noticed . I love you . I ve told you that , and I ve shown you in a thousand different ways . But you wo nt trust it , and you wo nt trust me . I m starting to think that you never will .
Belle : So , what ? The clock is ticking ? Is that what you re saying ?
Shawn D. : You never listen to me .
Belle : So how much more time do I have , Shawn , before you start to go seek comfort elsewhere ? A day , a week ? Is Gabby gon na wait that long ?
Shawn D. : Stop , okay ? Would you just stop ? I m asking you to let me love you , to give me a chance . If you ca nt do that , then --
Belle : So you are giving me an ultimatum .
Shawn D. : No , I m telling you how I feel . I ca nt go on like this . It s killing me , and it s definitely not good for Claire . So either we move forward together ... or we do nt . Well , I m gon na go to bed .
Roman : All right , Kate . You got my attention . What did Sami do this time ?
Kate : Well , I think you should brace yourself , Roman , because E.J. Wells and Sami have eloped .
Roman : What ?
Kate : I confronted him , and he all but admitted that he s flying to Las Vegas with Sami tonight to marry her .
Roman : [ Laughs ] So , where is Sami now ?
Kate : Sami and Lucas booked the honeymoon suite at the Towers .
Roman : Well , there you go . Case closed .
Kate : No , because she s not there anymore , Roman .
Abe : How do you know ?
Kate : Because I went over there to warn Lucas .
Roman : Whoa . You went over to warn Lucas while he s spending a romantic evening with his fiancé ?
Kate : Yes , yes , I did , and no one came to the door .
Roman : Gee , I wonder why , Kate . You do nt think they might have been busy ?
Kate : So I called E.J. , and I asked him point - blank if Sami was with him .
Roman : And he laughed like hell and said the joke is on you , right ?
Kate : Could you just stop patronizing me , please , for a minute and listen ?
Roman : All right . All right , Kate . What did E.J. say ?
Kate : E.J. told me that he thought it was about time that I knew the truth about Sami , and he was just about to tell me the truth when there was some kind of commotion on his end and the phone was either dropped or knocked out of his hand , and ... and then I heard a woman s voice and she said Sami s name .
Roman : And then what ?
Kate : And then the phone went dead .
Roman : Okay , and ?
Kate : And that s it . Roman , I need you to get over to the hotel and get me into that room because I think Lucas is in grave danger .
Roman : Kate , you know what I need to do ? I need to call a cab , have you go home , sleep it off , and when you wake up in the morning , you call Marlena , set an appointment because , lady , you have lost your mind .
Sami : Why ? Why did you do this to me ? I mean , I -- I actually thought we were friends . I really did care about you . Obviously ... you did nt care about me at all . I was just a means to an end . You just wanted to make your daddy proud . For that ... for that , you raped me . You used the fact that I loved Lucas so much to force me to have sex with you . And you ve been torturing me ever since . Lucas loves me . And he has forgiven me ... so many times . He does nt deserve this . He does nt deserve ... any of this . He is my future , my hope ... and my baby s hope . And I am not gon na let you destroy that future . [ Sniffles ] This is for John and my mother . This is for my Uncle Steve and my Aunt Kayla ... and for Max and Stephanie and my sister Belle and Shawn and everyone else that you have tortured . I hope you burn in hell .
Shawn D. : Gabby , what s up ?
Gabby : Shawn , I m sorry to disturb you , but I m trying to figure out this GPS thing , and I think I might have broken it .
Shawn D. : Just give me a second and I ll figure it out .
Steve : You should nt be here , baby girl .
Stephanie : Papa , tell me who did this to you .
Steve : It was an accident . It s nothing for you to worry about .
Stephanie : So , have you seen a doctor ? Is anyone taking care of you ?
Steve : I do nt need a doctor . I m fine .
Stephanie : What kind of hospital is this ?
Kayla : I m gon na get some antiseptic and bandages .
Stephanie : Somebody beat you up . Was it one of the other patients ?
Steve : Forget about that . Look , I want to hear about you . Come on , tell me about your new job in Dayton .
Stephanie : Do nt do this , Papa . Do nt try to change the subject and shut me out . You re in trouble , and I want to help .
Steve : You want to help me ? I m your papa . I take care of you .
Stephanie : Yes , you do . You re my hero ... always . But sometimes even heroes need backup , so please tell me who did this to you .
Kate : So , what do you think ? I m drunk ? I m making this up ?
Roman : Kate , what I really think is this -- the closer it gets to the wedding , the more desperate you become .
Kate : You know something , you were nt there . You did nt hear me talking to E.J. You did nt hear him tell me that he was gon na tell me the whole truth about Sami . The whole truth .
Abe : Until somebody knocked the phone out of his hand just at that moment and a mysterious woman calls out Sami s name .
Kate : Yes , Abe . And , actually , now that I think about it , a mysterious woman who sounded a lot like Celeste .
Abe : [ Laughs ] So now Celeste is involved in this whole thing , too .
Kate : You know , every instinct I have is telling me that something is seriously wrong here , and I m not gon na stop until I find out what it is . But the two of you -- the former commissioner , the acting commissioner -- you just sit here and you throw back your martinis and you can laugh at me or you can get up off your condescending butts and you could help me out .
Celeste : Samantha , what is taking so long ?
Sami : I ca nt . Celeste , I ca nt do it .
Celeste : You know what this means , do nt you ?
Sami : Yes . It means he owns me now . He won .
Belle : Daddy ?
John : Oh , sweetheart . How s my little girl ?
Belle : I ve missed you so much .
John : I ve missed you , too . Okay , so what s with the tears ? Why are you crying ?
Belle : I m just happy to see you .
John : Hmm , I think it s more than that . I m gon na take a guess -- Shawn ? So ... tell me all about it . Come on , tell me the whole story .
Belle : I m just really confused .
John : Hmm .
Belle : I do nt know what to do . He says that he loves me . And I love him .
John : Mm - hmm .
Belle : Things are just really mixed up . You know , they re complicated .
John : And why is love so complicated for you , Izzy ?
Belle : Well , for Claire , for one reason . You know , I ca nt help wondering if he s just with me because of her .
John : Well , sweetheart , it seems to me it all boils down to one simple question . Do you trust him ?
Gabby : Have I -- have I totally destroyed it ?
Shawn D. : Nope . You just have the memory card in backwards . It s fine .
Gabby : Oh , my God . I feel like such an idiot .
Shawn D. : Hey , it s no big deal . I did the same thing with my digital camera once .
Gabby : Well , thanks for saying that . Um ... God , well , do you want something to drink before you go ? Beer , soda ? I mean , I feel bad for getting you out of bed and all .
Shawn D. : No , no , no . I think I probably better head back , so ...
Gabby : Shawn , Shawn , hold on for a second . Um ... Belle probably already told you this , but I once had a child .
Shawn D. : Yeah , Gabby , it s really -- it s none of my business .
Gabby : It s just I do nt usually talk about it . And she saw some of my baby things , so you must have some questions .
Shawn D. : I can imagine what it feels like to lose a child , and that s the reason why Belle and I are here -- to protect Claire .
Gabby : And I admire that . I do nt blame you , but belle , you know , belle thinks because of the baby ... I do nt know what she thinks .
Shawn D. : Gabby . Come on , Gabby . Come here .
Gabby : I m sorry .
Shawn D. : It s okay . It s okay to cry , all right ?
Kayla : Well , I got the first - aid kit , so let s clean you up .
Steve : No , no , no . Come on , I m fine .
Kayla : Come on , let s do it .
Stephanie : I ca nt believe there s no doctor on call , somebody to take care of this .
Kayla : It s a state hospital . They re underfunded .
Stephanie : Somebody beat him to a pulp . They re just gon na leave him like this , not do anything ?
Kayla : Well , I guess he s lucky he has a wife that s a doctor , then , huh ? Because ... I will always take care of you .
Steve : I thought we had a deal .
Stephanie : What deal ?
Kayla : Your father wanted to leave you out of this . I told you that . Until --
Stephanie : Until what ? I m 45 ? I m not a child anymore . I do nt need protecting .
Steve : Where have I heard that before ?
Stephanie : Well , I m here now . And I m not gon na leave until I know you re okay . I m quitting the race team , and I m moving back home to take care of you .
Steve : Like hell you are . No ! Absolutely not .
Roman : Kate , you are real close to crossing the line , so back off .
Kate : Now , why is that ? Because I m questioning your character or your daughter s character ?
Roman : Kate , that s enough .
Kate : Sami is still the same little tramp she s always been , Roman .
Abe : Take it easy , Kate .
Kate : You know something ? Celeste is involved in this , Abe . She s involved in it up to her third eye , and if you do nt believe me , well , gee , I think you should give her a phone call . Why do nt you do that and ask her about Sami ?
Abe : All right , I am . I m gon na give her a call in order to shut you up .
Sami : I m sorry . I m sorry . I really thought I could , but I ca nt . I just ca nt .
Celeste : It s all right , Samantha . It s all right . [ Cellphone rings ] It s Abraham . Hello ?
Abe : Oh , Celeste , it s Abe . Ah , look , I m sorry to bother you , but I m here with Kate Roberts and she s insisting that Sami left Lucas in a hotel room and ran off with E.J. Wells . Now , I know this is a long shot , but do you know anything about that ?
Celeste : Kate thinks Samantha ran off with E.J. ? [ Chuckles ] Abraham , that s ridiculous . It just so happens that I spoke with Samantha not two minutes ago , and she s enjoying a romantic evening with her fiancé .
Abe : And you re sure about that ?
Celeste : Of course , darling . Samantha s with Lucas . Kate must be mistaken .
Abe : Ah , yes , clearly . Thank you , Celeste . And once again , I m sorry to bother you .
Celeste : That s quite all right . Good night . Damn that Kate . She just wo nt give up .
Sami : We have a bigger problem right now . What are we gon na do about E.J. ?
Steve : No , Stephanie . You re not quitting your job . You re not moving back here to play nursemaid to me . I did nt raise a quitter .
Kayla : Sit down , sit down .
Stephanie : You did nt raise me at all . I thought you were dead when I was growing up . Do nt you remember ? You were nt here when I was little . But you re here now , and I m not gon na lose you again .
Steve : It s too late , baby . They messed with my head .
Stephanie : I know . Mom told me .
Steve : Did she tell you I tried to choke her , huh ?
Stephanie : What ?
Kayla : He had a nightmare . He was confused .
Steve : Do nt sugarcoat it . Come on . Every one of these doctors around here says I m a danger to myself and everyone else . And that s not gon na change anytime soon .
Stephanie : Not if you do nt fight , it wo nt .
Steve : I do fight , baby . Every day I fight .
Kayla : But you re fighting the wrong people .
Steve : You need to keep quiet .
Stephanie : Do nt worry . Mom told me about who s responsible for this . I know it was E.J. Wells . But what I do nt know is why you keep letting him do this .
Sami : Oh , God .
Celeste : He s gon na wake up soon and realize what we tried to do to him .
Sami : There s only one thing that I can do now . It s what I should have done from the beginning . I have to take E.J. s power away from him . I have to tell Lucas the truth .
Celeste : Are you certain that s what you want ?
Sami : He ll probably leave me , but , yes , it s what I have to do .
Celeste : We ll talk about that more in the car . Right now , we have to go , darling . We need to get out of here before he wakes up .
E.J. : Samantha . Samantha .
Kate : Celeste is lying , Abe . She s covering for Sami .
Abe : Now , why would she do that ?
Roman : Never mind why . Kate has obviously lost her mind , and it s now time for her to leave before I am forced to personally escort her out of here myself .
Kate : You re making a really huge mistake , because E.J. and Sami are involved and Lucas is the victim in all of this , and if you turn a blind eye and let her hurt him again ... something s telling me , Roman , that you and I are gon na live to regret it .
Belle : I do trust Shawn . And when I think of all the lengths he went to , to protect his family ... it kind of reminds me of someone else I know who is a pretty hard act to follow .
John : Oh , baby , you ve been through so much . You have been hurt so much that right now you are afraid to trust anyone completely , afraid that if you do try to count on somebody , something s gon na happen that will just take him away .
Belle : Like you went away .
John : Oh , no , baby . I m right here . I m just fighting . I m fighting so hard to get back to the people I care about . And you know what ? It s gon na happen because I have faith . I have faith in love and its power to overcome any obstacle . And let me tell you the secret . If it s real , it finds a way .
Belle : Like you found your way to mom . She s been having these dreams . She said it felt like you were really there .
John : Your mother and I made a promise -- to be there and to believe in each other , but more important , to trust each other , no matter what .
Belle : That was when you were in Italy , right ? And you tossed the coin into the fountain .
John : This coin ? We have nt stopped believing , Izzy . And every time I look at this ... I know that we never will .
Belle : I wish I had a coin like that to reassure me .
John : You got something even better , baby . You have got the man you love right here with you , and he is committed to you . Now all you have to do ... is have a little faith .
Belle : I love you , Daddy .
John : I love you , baby . Just have a little faith .
Gabby : I love you . I love you , Shawn .
Shawn D. : Gabby , whoa . What are you doing ?
Gabby : I m sorry . I -- I thought this is what you wanted .
Shawn D. : I love Belle . You know that .
Gabby : But she treats you like a brother , like a babysitter , Shawn .
Shawn D. : Claire is my daughter .
Gabby : Shawn , what are you saving yourself for ?
Shawn D. : I told you .
Gabby : Yeah , you love her , but meanwhile , she does nt even let you touch her . I mean , how long do you have to go on like that ?
Shawn D. : Excuse me , but I really do nt think this is any of your business .
Gabby : Oh , come off it , Shawn . I mean , you and I have been flirting and dancing around each other since the first night that you got here . You re attracted to me . I know you are . So I do nt see what the big deal is if --
Shawn D. : There is a big deal , and I think that you just need to back off , Gabby .
Gabby : Excuse me ?
Shawn D. : I m sorry if we had some sort of a misunderstanding .
Gabby : No , no , there are no misunderstandings . I got the message loud and clear . You wanted me , whether you want to admit that or not .
Shawn D. : You know what ? I think Belle is right . We need to really rethink this whole traveling together thing .
Gabby : Shawn , wait . This does nt have to change anything , okay ? If I was wrong about you , that s cool . I m not gon na push .
Shawn D. : You already have .
Gabby : I can still go with you guys to Australia . We can go together . I m not gon na jump you every time Belle s back is turned .
Belle : Hey , Gabby , I know it s late , but I woke up and Shawn was nt there . Have you seen him ?
Shawn D. : I was just on my way back . Gabby -- she thought she broke the GPS . I was just checking it out .
Belle : Yeah , I can see what you were doing . It s all over your face .
Shawn D. : What are you talking about ? Belle , I can explain .
Belle : Do nt bother .
Stephanie : Papa , I know you re scared . You re worried about me and mom , but you can put an end to all of this right now if you just tell the cops what you know about E.J. Wells to put him away .
Steve : It s not that simple , baby .
Stephanie : How do you know if you do nt try ?
Steve : You put her up to this , did nt you ?
Stephanie : She loves you . We both do . And if we mean anything at all to you , then you ll do this . Please , Papa . You have to fight for us . You have to be the kind of guy that mom always said that you were . Because if you ca nt do this , then it s like you never existed , like everything I ever imagined you to be was all a lie .
Steve : All right , I ll do it . I ll do it for you ... and for your mama . I ll go to the police .
Kayla : You ll tell them everything ? All the names and everything ?
Steve : I ll give them whatever they need .
Kayla : Great . Let me get ahold of Roman and Bo , tell them you re ready to make a statement .
Stephanie : Thank you . You re doing the right thing ... for all of us .
Roman : Kate , Kate , hold on .
Kate : Why ? You ve made it perfectly clear how you feel .
Roman : Well , I m gon na make this perfectly clear , too . I do not like being threatened in public .
Kate : Okay , fine . Then after this , I will threaten you in private . How s that , hmm ?
Roman : Kate , what the hell s going on here ? I know you hate Sami , but this is way over the top , even for you .
Kate : I ca nt -- I ca nt believe you still do nt believe me . You think that I m making it up ? That I m upset for nothing ?
Roman : All right . Go to the tears . You start crying when all else fails . And you know what ? It s not fair .
Kate : Roman , I just feel in my heart that Lucas is in trouble . It I m wrong , I ll eat crow . If I m wrong , I will never , ever ask you for anything again .
Roman : All right , let me understand this -- now , right now , you re asking me to get you inside Lucas and Sami s hotel room .
Kate : Yes , I just want to find out if Lucas is safe . That s all .
Roman : All right . I will tell Abe I m leaving . In the meantime , you call Lucas again , see if he picks up .
Kate : Thank you . Thank you so much . I ca nt tell you how much this means to me .
Roman : I ll be right back .
Kate : Okay . [ Telephone ringing ]
Sami : Oh , my God . He s waking up .
Celeste : Get out of here , Samantha . Now !
Sami : He s gon na come after us , Celeste . He ll come after me .
E.J. : Samantha .
Celeste : Knock him out . Hurry !
E.J. : Samantha . It smells of gasoline .
Sami : Oh , gasoline ? Really ?
E.J. : Yeah . Everywhere . I ca nt breathe .
Sami : No , no , no . You re just dreaming , E.J. you re just dreaming . It s nothing , really . You re fine . You re fine . Here . [ Sighing ] Okay .
Celeste : Did you do it ?
Sami : Yeah , he s out again .
Celeste : Good , let s get out of here .
Sami : Oh , my God . I forgot my suitcase . I have to get my suitcase . Aah !
E.J. : Samantha . What did you do to me ? What did you do to me ?
Sami : E.J. , I have to go .
E.J. : Samantha . What did you do to me ? Samantha . Samantha .
Abe : What ?
Roman : I told Kate I d go to the hotel with her and check on Lucas .
Abe : You do nt honestly believe her .
Roman : No , I really do nt , but I tell you what , she was genuinely worried , and you know Kate . She is nt gon na let that go .
Kayla : Roman , thank God I found you .
Roman : Well , seems to be a popular sentiment tonight .
Kayla : Well , I called the station . They said that you were having dinner with Abe , so it s perfect because you are both gon na want to hear this .
Abe : What s going on ?
Kayla : Steve is ready to talk . Stephanie got through to him .
Stephanie : He s willing to make a statement , tell you everything he knows about E.J. Wells .
Abe : Well , does Bo know about this ?
Kayla : I left him a message on the way over here .
Roman : Well , I tell you what , I got something to deal with , but I ll be right back . I want to hear everything , okay ? Stephanie , welcome home .
Stephanie : So , do you think his testimony is enough to put E.J. away ?
Abe : Yeah , I d say this is the break we ve all been waiting for .
Gabby : Hey , you okay ?
Shawn D. : Doing great . Ca nt you tell ?
Gabby : Look , I m really sorry . I -- I did nt mean to cause you any trouble . Hey , where are you going ?
Shawn D. : I m gon na go downstairs and sleep on the veranda . I m not up for another round with belle tonight .
Gabby : That does nt sound very comfortable . Look , you re more than welcome to crash in my room .
Shawn D. : Thanks , but I think I ll pass .
Belle : What if I made a mistake ? What if your dad was really telling the truth ? You know , if your grandfather were here , he would say , if you really love Shawn , you have to trust him . You have to believe in him . Mommy will be right back . I m gon na go find your dad .
Gabby : [ Laughs ]
Guy : Hey , baby , I m getting lonely in here . What are you looking for ?
Gabby : I thought I heard something .
Guy : Come on , let s have another drink .
Gabby : [ Laughs ] Aah !
Steve : Kayla ?
Dr. Granger : No , Steve . Your wife and daughter are gone .
Steve : Who are you ?
Dr. Granger : I m Dr. Granger . I ve been brought in to handle your case .
Steve : Well , good to meet you , but I ve been handled all I m gon na be . I ve made a decision . I m gon na name the bastard who put me in this place .
Dr. Granger : Well , perhaps you ll want to rethink that . Traditional therapies have much to offer in the right hands . And we have much to discuss .
Steve : Sorry . I ve already made up my mind .
Dr. Granger : But your mind is nt yours to make up , Steve . Are you forgetting ? You re still one of us .
Roman : Any luck ?
Kate : No , I called Sami s cell . I called Lucas cell . There s no answer . I think we need to go .
Roman : Kate , listen to me . I m very sorry . Something has come up . I ca nt go with you .
Kate : Something more important than Lucas life , Roman ?
Roman : It is very important . And to be honest with you , I do nt think Lucas is in danger .
Kate : Roman , you promised me .
Roman : Kate , listen to me , okay ? This is very important police business I need to take care of , so I got to go .
Kate : Roman .
Roman : My suggestion would be go home , get some sleep , call Lucas in the morning . I will talk to you later . I promise .
Kate : I ll do no such thing . If you re not gon na help me , then I can handle it myself .
Celeste : Samantha , what happened ? I went to get the car , I heard you scream .
Sami : Shh ! Listen to me . E.J. woke up , and he came after me , and then he collapsed , and he smelled gasoline . He knows I drugged him .
Celeste : Chances are when he wakes up , he wo nt remember a thing .
Sami : But what if he does ?
Celeste : It s over , Samantha . We re getting out of here now . Come on .
Sami : Aah !
E.J. : Samantha ! Help me , Samantha !
Shawn D. : Claire s stuff is gone . Belle , she s gone .
Stephanie : If you love me , you ll do it .
Steve : I guess I do nt love you .
Bo : Give Elvis J. Wells a message for me -- it s gon na take more than a court order to keep us out of here .
Sami : Do you think he suffered ?
Celeste : Evil never suffers . Only brings suffering . We got to get out of here . Come on . Follow me .

Chelsea : Oh , I m sorry . Do you have to have me in your day planner or something ?
Nick : That s not what I meant .
Chelsea : Do you know , I was talking with Hope , and I came up with all these reasons why I loved you . The number one was because you let me be myself , because you never gave up on me .
Nick : And I never , ever will .
Chelsea : But you did , Nick . I needed you to hold me , tell me that I was the one , too .
Nick : You are . You are the one .
Chelsea : Evidently not . I came up with like a million reasons why I wanted to be with you , and you ca nt even come up with one really good reason why you do nt want to be with me .
Nick : I can come up with one really good reason . But you re not gon na like it .
Philip : Belle ! Hey . Did nt you hear me ?
Belle : No . Hear what ?
Philip : I wanted you to come check out the sky .
Belle : Why ?
Philip : I thought it d be nice for all of us to go out on deck and check out the stars . You used to love to do that , remember ?
Belle : That was a long time ago .
Philip : Yeah , not so long .
Belle : I m tired , Philip .
Philip : Fine . I wo nt push .
Belle : Yeah , you will . You ll push until you get your way . It does nt matter -- big things , little things , whatever .
Philip : Let me help with that .
Belle : No , it s okay . I got it .
Philip : You know , when I was a kid ... I used to dream of traveling to the ends of the universe .
Belle : Too bad you did nt get your wish . I m sorry . Everything that s going on is kind of crazy - making .
Philip : Yeah .
Belle : So , what was at the end of the universe ?
Philip : The feeling that I could do anything , be anything if I just reached out for it and wanted it badly enough . Come up on deck with me , Belle .
Shawn D. : Steve is the one that helped us escape . If it was nt for him , we would nt have gotten this far .
Bo : This is nt about Steve . Elvis J. Jr. Is calling the shots right now . That s how Steve got his plane , how Steve knew where we were .
Shawn D. : He would never kill me .
Bo : Yeah , he would if Elvis wanted it .
Shawn D. : What , because you and Aunt Kayla say so ? I m sorry , Dad . That s not good enough .
Bo : Shawn , listen to me . Steve has been involved in some crimes recently .
Shawn D. : What sort of crimes ?
Bo : Elvis has some kind of a trigger that he uses when he wants Steve to pull off a job .
Shawn D. : You mean like hypnosis ?
Bo : Worse . He was -- he was brainwashed and tortured . Look , man -- Steve kidnapped John out of the hospital . He took his damn kidney out and transplanted it into Stefano DiMera , all on Elvis orders .
Shawn D. : Then why is nt he in jail ?
Bo : Cause I could nt prove it . My point is it happened because Steve was following orders , and he d do it again .
Shawn D. : I get that E.J. is a DiMera . That s always bad news . But why does E.J. want me dead ?
Bo : You re the key to bringing him down .
Shawn D. : How ?
Bo : You worked for him .
Shawn D. : I guess you could say that .
Bo : It s like dominoes , son . I get you to sign a statement that said you passed information between Lockhart and Wells . I get Lockhart to roll over on his boss .
Shawn D. : But I never knew what was in any of those packages .
Bo : Lockhart does nt know that . Neither does Wells . And he does nt like loose ends , which , at this point , would be you .
Shawn D. : Yeah , well , come to think of it , Steve , he did mention something about E.J.
Bo : What did you say ?
Shawn D. : Absolutely nothing . But I do nt care about E.J. Dad , what I want is my family back .
Bo : And we ll get them back , but you got to know that Steve is more of an enemy to you than Philip .
Belle : This is not a cruise , Philip , or a vacation for Claire and me .
Philip : I know , but --
Belle : No , Philip , you re trying to take my child away from me , so stop trying to make this into something it s not .
Philip : Hey , I have legal custody , and you re here because you want to be here .
Belle : For my daughter .
Philip : That s called a choice .
Belle : No , it s not a choice . You know this is nt how I want to live my life .
Philip : You mean without Shawn ?
Belle : We want to be together , Philip .
Philip : You had your chance back in Salem . You would nt even think about sharing custody with me .
Belle : And it was wrong . We were wrong about a lot of things .
Philip : Oh , and I suppose you want to hear me say I m wrong , too .
Belle : It would be nice .
Philip : You mean coming from a Kiriakis ?
Belle : No , I mean coming from a man who claims to love my daughter .
Philip : Okay , Mom . Would you mind if I took Claire up on deck ?
Belle : You re asking my permission ?
Philip : Because you are her mother and I ve been out of her life for so long . She looks at me like I m a strange guy she s just not sure about . I just -- I want a few moments with her .
Belle : I guess .
Philip : And you , too , if you d like to come with us .
Belle : How do you think Shawn would feel about that , the three of us -- you , me , Shawn s daughter up on the deck , stargazing ?
Philip : What happened on that island was necessary , okay ? It s over .
Belle : How was shooting Shawn necessary ?
Philip : I did nt shoot him .
Belle : You told some crazy guy with a gun to keep him on the island . What did you expect ?
Philip : Not for him to shoot Shawn . No matter what happened , we re here now , Belle . I m trying to make the most of it , but I ca nt do it alone .
Belle : Well , it was really nice of you to ask permission to take Claire up on deck , but let s start talking the truth here , Philip . You re holding Claire and me hostage here , and that really pisses me off . So I would really like to know , how does that make you feel ?
Shawn D. : If it were mom and Ciara out there , you would nt let anybody stop you from getting on that plane .
Bo : Take it easy , Shawn . We ll find your girls .
Shawn D. : That s not an answer , Dad . Look , I m sorry for what Steve did to John , but that has got nothing to do with what I need to do . And what I need to do is get off this island now .
Steve : Let s go . Let s shake a leg , man . Gas up that puddle jumper and get your family back .
Shawn D. : He s right . Let s go .
Bo : Steve , hold up . Shawn s not going anywhere with you .
Shawn D. : Do nt talk for me .
Bo : I ll handle this .
Shawn D. : It s my decision .
Steve : So , what s the problem ?
Shawn D. : My dad thinks he s running this race for me .
Bo : Do nt go anywhere without a plan .
Steve : He s right about that , Shawn .
Shawn D. : My plan is to get my family back .
Steve : We do what we said . We take the seaplane , and we go pick them up .
Shawn D. : Yeah , you drop me in the path of Philip s boat , and I ll take it from there .
Steve : Do nt you want one of us on the boat with you ?
Bo : We do nt know Philip s exact location . We nail that down before we go anywhere .
Steve : Hey , Bo ... when family s in trouble , you do nt sweat the details .
Bo : If we re off just a fraction , we ll be flying blind out there . Details matter . We do this right or we do nt do it at all .
Steve : Maybe we could just cowboy up and take a shot in the dark .
Bo : It d be too risky .
Steve : Risk is nt always bad .
Bo : It is when my granddaughter s life is at stake . Go fuel up the plane . We ll figure out Philip s current location .
Steve : Bo ... I m getting kind of a weird read here , man .
Bo : What s your problem ?
Steve : You tell me . This is nt how you operate -- computers , numbers , checking , rechecking . If you guys do nt want me here , if there s something going on , you can tell me . I m a big boy . It wo nt hurt my feelings .
Philip : How did I feel ? Lousy . Do I wish this really was some sort of vacation cruise the three of us were on ? You bet . But it s not . I do nt need your help . I m just trying to -- to get back what is mine , what I lost .
Belle : I know how much you ve lost in the last couple of years , and it s not just Claire or me . Philip , sit down , please .
Philip : When you re at war ... everything s a battle -- catching five minutes of sleep , trying not to see the enemy in a little boy s eyes ... a battle to not let fear keep you from putting one foot in front of the other . When I got back from that hell , I could nt switch gears overnight . So when I lost Claire , I went to war with you and Shawn .
Belle : And now ?
Philip : Now I m just trying to get everything right , maybe even find a little peace .
Belle : We re still at war , Philip .
Philip : Yeah . Claire deserves better than what we ve given her the past few months .
Belle : Claire is a part of me and Shawn .
Philip : And me . She was mine for the first year of her life . I love her . What s so wrong about a father wanting to take his daughter in his arms and show her the stars ?
Belle : Philip , there is a way to end this war .
Philip : How ?
Belle : If you really regret that custody battle , then you ll let us go -- Claire and me . Because in the end , that s what a good parent does , Philip -- they learn to let go .
Chelsea : Here .
Nick : Thank you . My mouth gets really dry when I m nervous .
Chelsea : So , who is she , the one giving you all this dry mouth ?
Nick : This is nt easy to explain .
Chelsea : Just do nt play me , Nick .
Nick : I would nt even know how to play you . Chess -- chess I could play .
Chelsea : So , what , I m like your pawn in all of this ?
Nick : No , you re my queen .
Chelsea : No , I ca nt be your queen because the queen is the one that s doing the king .
Nick : Then I m your knight in shining armor .
Chelsea : They do nt make shining armor in a 32 slim .
Nick : Was that a joke ? Jokes are good . Jokes mean you re not mad at me anymore .
Chelsea : No , actually , I m extremely mad at you because we re talking about a stupid game of chess rather than talking about the girl that you re sleeping with . And your little Princess Leia doll does nt count .
Nick : Guys like me do nt even know how to sleep around .
Chelsea : Sure , they do . They just act like they do nt .
Nick : I am the guy who I did nt have a homecoming date , I did nt have a prom date . I could nt find lovers lane if I lived on it .
Chelsea : You did nt go to prom ?
Nick : I got stood up .
Chelsea : Why ?
Nick : Better offer .
Chelsea : Idiot . I meant the girl , not you . I mean , she could have gone with you , but --
Nick : Yeah , well , she found a lacrosse player instead .
Chelsea : So , what , now you re just making up for lost time ?
Nick : All right , you re right , Chelsea . I got a girl in the shower . I got two under my bed . I got three in the hospital . I ca nt find my car keys let alone --
Chelsea : Okay , so , there s no woman .
Nick : Sort of yes , sort of no .
Chelsea : Well , which one ?
Nick : Okay , all right . The God s honest truth ... yeah , there is .
Maggie : Do - do do - do do - do do - do do do - do Nick ? Nick ? Nick ? Nick ? Hmm . Okay . [ Sighs ]
Chelsea : So , who is she ?
Nick : Let s -- why do nt we sit down ?
Chelsea : You better make this quick because I m pretty sure that this is the last conversation we ll ever have .
Nick : Um ... it s , uh ... it s my Aunt Maggie .
Chelsea : Maggie ?
Nick : Yeah . I ... live in her house .
Chelsea : She s the other woman ?
Nick : In a way .
Chelsea : Nick , that s disgusting .
Nick : No , I kid you not . This woman thinks that I ca nt even tie my shoes . I mean , she does everything for me . She washes my clothes . She checks up on me . Sometimes she does nt even knock . I mean , the last thing that I want in the world is for her to walk in on us with my morning O.J.
Chelsea : She brings you orange juice ?
Nick : Sometimes , yeah .
Chelsea : Okay . Um , well , I could always just , you know , sneak out before juice time .
Nick : Well , but then , what about your dad ? I mean , what would he think if you snuck out ?
Chelsea : I would nt have to stay the night .
Nick : Yeah . You would .
Chelsea : Why ?
Nick : Because when we re together , I want to hold you all night long .
Chelsea : I love you , Nick .
Nick : Does that mean that you re not mad at me ?
Chelsea : Well ... this is just a geography problem , right ? Cause I have a solution .
Nick : What ?
Chelsea : Well , you could either , um , stay with Aunt Maggie and live like a monk .
Nick : No , thank you .
Chelsea : Or you could move out and get your own place . And then we could hold each other all night long .
Philip : I m sorry . I ca nt let you go -- not yet .
Belle : Then we are still prisoners of war .
Philip : Do nt say that . You got so caught up in running away with Shawn , you forgot what it was like for us , how we loved each other , loved our baby . We were more than this .
Belle : We ca nt go back .
Philip : We can go on ... together . I ll try to ease the tension any way I can . I ve made mistakes . You agree . So have you and Shawn .
Belle : Shawn loves Claire . He wo nt give up .
Philip : He ll never find us .
Belle : He ll never stop trying .
Philip : All right . Enough . We need ground rules .
Belle : Ground rules do nt exactly ease tension , Philip .
Philip : From now on , we do nt talk about Shawn , okay ? And I do nt want you mentioning him to Claire .
Belle : Oh , well , that ll sure win us over .
Philip : It s for her own good .
Belle : No , it s for your own good . Why ca nt you see that ?
Philip : I love Claire . She may not have my blood , but she has my heart . And the last time I checked , being a parent does nt have a damn thing to do with biology .
Belle : No , it s how you love her .
Philip : You let Shawn drag her all over the world !
Belle : We went willingly with Shawn because we wanted to be together .
Philip : Well , you re here now . And I m just asking you for a chance ... for our daughter .
Belle : And if I do nt ?
Philip : Well , then Claire is one very unhappy little girl .
Belle : Wow . That is incredible how you can just flip this and make this my fault , that if I do nt stick with this farce of a family , Claire suffers .
Philip : That s not what I meant .
Belle : Well , that s how it is .
Philip : I would love for you to want to stay with us and help with Claire , make her feel part of a real family . But I ca nt force you to want that , too .
Belle : Okay . You want me to give you another chance ? Then you have to be completely honest with me .
Philip : About what ?
Belle : About where we re going and how long we plan to be there .
Steve : I think we might all need one of these before the night s out .
Bo : Shawn s never been on a rescue mission like this , and Philip , he s a good soldier . We ca nt underestimate him .
Steve : Yeah , well , it s not Philip you re worried about , is it ? You re looking for the cracks in me . You can look all you want , Bo . You wo nt find any .
Bo : I do nt know , man . Last time I saw you --
Steve : I barely had a pulse . I know . I must have looked like something out of the body snatchers . But Kayla got me help . And it stuck . Now , I admit I m here for myself as much as I am for you guys . I want to be the man this family can still count on . Do I have to drink to that alone ?
Bo : Let s go find the girls .
Steve : You dudes set the course . I ll refuel . Do nt be long .
Bo : Yeah , see you in a second .
Shawn D. : What the hell was that all about ?
Bo : He s testing us .
Shawn D. : Or maybe he s okay and everybody back home is crazy .
Bo : Hey .
Shawn D. : Where the hell did you get that ?
Gabby : Your uncle s room . I thought I should nose around , see what would turn up .
Philip : What does it matter where we go ?
Belle : You know how it feels to be in the dark . I m really sorry I did that to you . Forget it . I ll know when we get there , not that I can do anything about it anyway .
Philip : It s Australia . We re heading to Australia .
Belle : Why ?
Philip : Because if we go back to Salem , the war starts all over again with you , Shawn , my family , his family , with Claire as a prize . I m not gon na let that happen .
Belle : Well , how long will we be away ?
Philip : I do nt know .
Belle : A few weeks , months , forever ?
Philip : I said I do nt know .
Belle : Like hell you do nt .
Philip : I need time to spend with my daughter .
Belle : How much time ?
Philip : Time for her to know who I am . All she s seen these past few months is an angry guy . That s not the kind of father I want to be , Belle .
Belle : What am I supposed to do in Australia ?
Philip : That s up to you .
Belle : You expect me not to call my parents or Shawn ?
Philip : Contact them . Go back to Salem . It does nt matter . My lawyers tell me the custody agreement is binding . The place I picked out might as well be a fortress .
Belle : You ve had this all planned ?
Philip : You want the truth , Belle ? Here it is . I m waiting for something special .
Belle : For what ?
Philip : I m waiting to hear Claire say one simple word -- daddy . And when she does , when her sweet little voice says that word , I ll be the one she s looking at , not Shawn Brady . Claire and I are nt going back to Salem until I m the only father she knows , the only one she recognizes .
Bo : The serial number has been filed off .
Gabby : So it ca nt get traced .
Bo : Yeah . Sound like your uncle to you ?
Shawn D. : I ca nt believe this .
Bo : Yeah . Gabby , I want you to put this back exactly where you found it . Try not to move anything . He ca nt know that you were in his room .
Gabby : Got it .
Bo : You be careful .
Shawn D. : Wow .
Bo : Believe me now ?
Shawn D. : Yeah . I m sorry .
Bo : Hey , forget it .
Shawn D. : So , what are we gon na do now ?
Bo : You re gon na find your family . I m gon na keep an eye on Steve .
Shawn D. : Steve s got to know that you re onto him by now .
Bo : Yeah , well , I got something in mind . In the meantime --
Shawn D. : What s that ?
Bo : What Steve came here to stop . Your signature on this will put Elvis J. Wells behind bars for the rest of his miserable life .
Nick : You want me to get us a place ?
Chelsea : Oh , um ... not us . Just you . But I would visit a lot .
Nick : [ Sighs ] You know , there s furniture and food and rent .
Chelsea : Okay . I m talking sex , and you re making a shopping list .
Nick : No , no , no . I m just saying stuff costs money .
Chelsea : Yeah , but I imagine that you d have a lot saved , right ? I mean , unless you blew it all on something that you did nt want me to know about .
Nick : Yeah . Right .
Chelsea : Okay . And realistically , all you d really be buying furniture - wise is what , like , a big , giant bed , maybe one of those old ones with the four posts ?
Nick : You know , but there s also grad school to think about .
Chelsea : Oh .
Nick : And that could be happening even next semester .
Chelsea : Well , you should go . I mean , maybe you ll be the one to figure out the cure for male pattern baldness .
Nick : Come on . I m serious .
Chelsea : No , you come on , Nick . You re making excuses about buying furniture and grad school . Just tell me the real reason why you kicked me out of your room today .
Maggie : Okay . Oh . Looks like you ve been a naughty boy , Nicholas .
Nick : I put the brakes on because this is too important . And I know that when life gets intense , I tend to get rational and practical and scientific .
Chelsea : Nick , sex is -- it s not rocket science .
Nick : I know . Chelsea , I just -- I want to be with you ... in my own place , in my own bed .
Chelsea : Okay , so , then what s the problem ?
Nick : There s no problem . There s no problem . I m just saying it s not gon na happen overnight . You know ? And I do nt want to sneak around . We re not little kids . You re a beautiful woman , Chelsea Brady . And I feel honored that you want to be with me .
Chelsea : That is something that a knight in shining armor would say . Um ... but what about your future ?
Nick : I m looking at it . Tell you what -- after I get off work , I m gon na go get the paper . I m gon na look at the real - estate ads as soon as I get home .
Chelsea : You mean it ?
Nick : Are you kidding ? I ve been dreaming about this since I was like 7 years old .
Chelsea : Dreaming about what ?
Nick : That the prettiest girl in the room would finally look up and actually see me .
Maggie : Nice color . Hmm . Hmm ... okay , either you got a secret lover , Nick , or just a kinky little secret .
Belle : This is what a good father does ?
Philip : Do nt lecture me .
Belle : Take your child to a strange country and separate her from her family , from the people who love her the most ?
Philip : I do nt know , Belle . I d have to ask Shawn if that s what a good father does .
Belle : Shawn is nothing like you .
Philip : He made me nothing to my daughter . I could do that to you , too , but I wo nt .
Belle : I ca nt spend months in Australia .
Philip : Then do nt . Go back to Salem .
Belle : I would never leave Claire .
Philip : She ll be very well taken care of .
Belle : Philip , I have never been away from her .
Philip : Kids adapt .
Belle : No , she needs me .
Philip : How is it that you and Shawn know what Claire needs ? You put her through weeks of danger . And then when I want to show her somewhere peaceful and quiet , I m a monster .
Belle : This is wrong , and you know it s wrong .
Philip : If you want to be Claire s mother , it ll be in Australia . If you do nt , then I ll buy you a one - way ticket back to Salem . Now , I m showing my daughter the stars . You can come with us , or you can stay down here . I m giving you a choice , Belle . That s a hell of a lot more than you and Shawn gave me .
Shawn D. : So , all I have to do is sign this and E.J. goes away ?
Bo : Yep , that s the idea .
Shawn D. : What if Patrick does nt fall for the bluff ?
Bo : You just leave that to me .
Shawn D. : Okay , I ll sign whatever I have to sign , but then we got to get moving .
Bo : All right , let s go .
Steve : All set on my end . You bad boys ready to boogie ?
Bo : Yeah , we were just going over some of the strategy here .
Steve : Good . So , we good to go ?
Bo : I m not so sure . Shawn and I have looked at this several different ways , and it s just not panning out . We ca nt use the plane . We got to go after Philip another way .
Nick : Willow . Willow . [ Sighs ] Dear Nick , found these peeking out from under your bed . I assume a friend left them behind . Ca nt wait to catch up . Love , Aunt Maggie . Well , that s great . That s great .
Philip : You should have seen her out there . Claire s whole face lit up when I told her a story about the constellations .
Belle : That s nice .
Philip : I wish you really meant that . She felt so good in my arms .
Belle : Here , baby . I m gon na put her down . Come here .
Philip : It s gotten cool . We should get her a sweater .
Belle : Uh , no , that s okay . I have an extra blanket .
Philip : What if she kicks it off ?
Belle : She ll be fine .
Philip : Why is everything an argument with you ? I m just gon na get the sweater .
Belle : No , it s okay . I ll find the right one .
Philip : Kids have a right and wrong sweater ? Any sweater will do . It s just to keep her -- what the hell is this ?
Steve : So , these are the coordinates here .
Bo : Yeah .
Steve : And you re telling me you want to go by rowboat ?
Bo : The maritime report said the seas are getting rough .
Steve : Duh . That s why we fly .
Shawn D. : It s the landing , Uncle Steve . We may not be able to put it down . And even if we can , we still got to get to Philip s boat .
Steve : It s better than trying to catch up to him on choppy water .
Bo : No , that s too risky .
Steve : And a boat is nt ?
Bo : We re trying to get our hands on something fast and sturdy .
Steve : Come on , Bo . On this sandpile ? That s twice as risky .
Bo : We ve made our decision .
Steve : Okay , fine . I ll get on the boat with you for backup .
Shawn D. : Thanks , but I think that my dad and I , we can handle this one .
Steve : Oh . So , now I m odd man out . Is that it ?
Bo : No , do nt worry about it . We re better off the two of us .
Steve : Since when is two better than three ?
Bo : Go home , Steve . We ll hook back up with you in Salem .
Steve : Do nt talk to me like I m crazy .
Shawn D. : I just want my family home safe , Steve . That s it .
Steve : I came a long way to get this thing done , kid . Nobody is stopping me .
Bo : This is nt about you , man .
Steve : Like hell it s not . You do nt trust me , Bo . Why do nt you be man enough to admit it ?
Bo : Fine . Get your ass off this island tonight or I ll escort you off myself .
Sami : This is Maison Blanche . My parents , they were here . There was a fire . My mom almost died . Lucas , this is it . This is Stefano s house .
Billie : We re gon na have our chance , you and I , with E.J. Our time will come . We re gon na kick some DiMera butt .
Hope : Damn right we are .
Steve : Come on !
Shawn D. : Guys , stop ! Please ! Stop !

### Dialogue:
Greenlee : Good morning , ladies . Are you ready for the biggest idea since -- oh , wait -- my last one ?
Babe : Shoot .
Greenlee : A product line for babies . Organic sunscreen , a natural inspect repellant . Maybe make it water - resistant .
Di : Yeah . We have some research on those products , but we were thinking for adults .
Greenlee : Well , go find it .
Babe : It s a really good idea , Greenlee .
Greenlee : Yeah , I was hanging out with Ryan and Spike after Spike s swim lesson , and it just hit me . That little boy s skin is so soft .
Babe : Once upon a time , you said that holding him felt too right . You think it s a good idea that you get so close ?
Greenlee : Do nt you have work to do , like , now ?
Babe : Huh . Anything you say .
Greenlee : So I hope my employees can work without my supervision . I have somewhere to be .
Di : Yeah , do nt let us keep you .
Greenlee : Ok , and I ll need something on the sunscreen idea by the time I get back . Good morning , Annie .
Annie : Morning .
Greenlee : You know , do nt forward my calls . This meeting is just way too important .
Babe : We ve got it covered .
Greenlee : I m sure you do . Do nt know when I ll be back .
Di : I do nt know how you do it . It takes a lot of patience and brass to put up with Greenlee s BS .
Babe : I mean , if I actually cared about her , maybe it would bother me . But outside of this place , she is not a part of my life . I m sorry , Annie , I did nt --
Di : We put our money on you .
Babe : If there s anything we can do --
Annie : You want to help me ? Keep me from wringing Greenlee s neck .
Greenlee : Coffee and breakfast ? I m a lucky girl . Half - caf ?
Ryan : Still double shot , skim milk ?
Greenlee : You re the man .
Greenlee : Is that blueberry ? God , this family deal is fantastic . You do nt happen to have cereal in that pocket ? You want some ?
Ryan : I did nt come here just to have breakfast .
Greenlee : You want to talk about yesterday . Things have to change .
Ryan : You re right , they do .
Adam : I just need some more time . No , Slater is not running Chandler Enterprises , the Chandlers are . Yes -- no , your investment is safe . You can get your money back . No , that s not what my son and I told the board . We did not say it was a done deal .
Adam : We still have time to stop Slater . Would somebody get the damn door ? Yeah , no , no -- you do not -- you do not call Slater . You deal with me . Deal with me . Oh . Good morning .
Zach : Good morning , Adam . You sleep well ?
Adam : Very well , thank you . Come on in . I take it you re here to extend the deadline on our loan ?
Zach : Why would I want to do that ? Coffee ?
Adam : Some other arrangement , then ?
Zach : No , I like the one we have . Thanks .
Adam : Yeah . Can I get you anything else ?
Zach : I want what you want .
Adam : My money .
Zach : Uh - uh -- easy transition . Quick and painless for everyone .
Adam : Why wo nt you give us some more time ? What is it you re so afraid of , Slater ?
Zach : Hmm . I know what I forgot . Kendall -- she sent these over . She wants to redecorate . What do you think ? Light green ? What --
Adam : Damn it ! My son s life was at stake . Are you sure you want to take advantage of that ?
Zach : And to think that the two of you used to be on opposite sides . I hope Junior s grateful for your sacrifices .
J.R. : Did you see the pilot ?
Amanda : No .
J.R. : You did nt call your buddy Aidan again , did you ?
Amanda : Shut up , J.R. He s the one that helped us find this guy .
J.R. : No , we would have found the pilot to Seamus Wong s plane .
Amanda : Before or after our 100 million was gone ?
J.R. : Our $ 100 million ?
Amanda : Hey , 5 % is mine .
J.R. : That is , if you do nt blow it . You got the plan straight ?
Amanda : Yeah , yeah , you re interviewing the pilot for a job .
J.R. : And what are you doing ?
Amanda : I m doing what I m told .
J.R. : I do not want Aidan involved in this . Now , if we can find Seamus , we can beat Slater s price , and we get some of the money back . I do not want to blow my dad s whole portfolio .
Amanda : You should have thought of that before you kidnapped yourself .
J.R. : Yeah . All right , cry , now .
Amanda : What are you smoking ?
J.R. : Look , if you want a cut of this $ 100 million , you better cry now . I mean , big , fat , huge tears , right now . Come on , do it . Do it .
Jack : How is Ms. Kane ?
Nurse : To be honest , I do nt know why she s still here .
Jack : I have a couple of notions . May I see her ?
Nurse : Of course .
Jack : Thanks .
Erica : Jack -- I m so glad you came back .
Jack : I will always remember you as beautiful as you are right now .
Erica : Is something wrong ?
Jack : I just had an update from your nurse .
Erica : Well , that nurse is not my nurse . She s not my personal nurse . That nurse does nt know anything about my case .
Jack : Erica , stop it , stop it . I know about your condition , the one you re trying to hide from me .
Erica : I do nt know what you re talking about .
Jack : It must be so terrible . I mean , the tests are inconclusive . The not knowing , the not having any idea -- I m so sorry , I -- I wish I could help you more .
Erica : Well , no , you have .
Jack : No , I -- I have something I have to tell you .
Erica : Ok , tell me .
Jack : The other night when you were supposed to come home to our home , and you did nt , I was very hurt , I was very angry . I found Milla s card in my pocket . I called her . And I was actually able to be open with her in a way I -- I never expected .
Erica : You called Milla ? The lawyer ?
Jack : Yes , yes , I did -- I m sorry , I have to be honest with you .
Erica : Yes , well , I hope you will be .
Jack : Of course , I will be . I mean , especially now , especially now , and I just want you to know that if your condition worsens -- if this gets really serious -- your children will know how much you love them . They will know how wonderful a mother and a person you are .
Erica : Are ? Jack , are ? I am not gone yet .
Jack : Erica , you will always be in my heart . I will never forget you , no matter who I may marry after you re gone .
Annie : So what are we working on ?
Babe : Um -- there was this one idea --
Di : It s a sunscreen for babies .
Babe : We could do a whole line , and --
Di : Yeah . You know what ? Because I know Julia -- she slathers the stuff on Kathy before they even think about going outside . You probably do the same for Emma .
Babe : It s true . I mean , it s the number one product we use in the house . Where s my purse ?
Di : Here we go .
Babe : Ok . I mean , look , it s -- it really is a growing market .
Di : Babe !
Babe : What ?
Di : I totally forgot to ask . How was the GED ?
Babe : I --
Annie : Oh .
Babe : Feel good about it .
Annie : When do you find out ?
Babe : Soon -- fingers crossed .
Di : Oh , you do nt need luck . You re plenty brilliant .
Annie : Hey , this whole baby sunscreen thing --
Di : Mm - hmm ?
Annie : It was Greenlee s big idea , was nt it ?
Babe : She did happen to mention it .
Annie : So she cornered my husband and his son for business and pleasure . Lucky her . Lucky us .
Babe : This is nt what you want to hear , Annie .
Annie : No , no , I m sorry . We re at work . We re here to work . So , is it going to be hypo - allergenic ? Are we talking lotions , or -- or wipes , or -- you know what ? What would Greenlee want ?
Ryan : I ca nt do this anymore . I ca nt keep hurting my wife .
Greenlee : I guess she was nt too happy to see me with you .
Ryan : No , not so much .
Greenlee : Yeah , storming out was a pretty good indication . Well , obviously , things need to change .
Ryan : They do .
Greenlee : Mm - hmm . Sorry . Sorry , sorry , sorry . My bad . I know , we re being serious . It s just -- I keep picturing with you and -- and Spike after the swim lesson . He s so cute .
Ryan : Yeah , he s great --
Greenlee : Oh , my gosh -- and that little laugh -- you just -- you never get sick of it , do you ?
Ryan : No . No , you do nt , but --
Greenlee : Oh , oh , and -- and -- here . For you . I mean , not for you , for -- for Spike . After I saw the look in his eyes when I gave him those boat shoes , I just --
Ryan : Ok , stop . Greenlee , just stop .
Greenlee : Oh , no , it s nothing .
Ryan : No , I ll give it to him , all right ? I just --
Greenlee : Just make sure he knows that they re from his Aunt Greenlee .
Ryan : I will , I will . But I did nt come here to talk about Annie and Spike , I came here to talk about us .
Greenlee : Is there an us I should know about ?
Ryan : You know what I mean , Greenlee .
Greenlee : Well , then , let s talk about us . You first .
Ryan : I m sorry , but we ca nt be together anymore .
Babe : Here is the latest market report .
Annie : Great , thank you .
Babe : Cool .
Di : Mm - hmm .
Annie : Oh !
Babe : Oh , my God --
Annie : God , that s it ! I ca nt do this !
Babe : No , it s just coffee . Do nt worry .
Annie : No , it s -- today it s just coffee , and tomorrow it s a presentation I mess up .
Di : Here , here .
Annie : I had a life before Fusion , and I handled a lot worse than Greenlee . Get -- oh .
Di : Here you go .
Annie : I ca nt do this anymore . You know what ? I ca nt . Maybe I should just leave Fusion . Maybe this is nt good for me .
Di : Hey , you re not leaving .
Annie : Well , what s making me stay ?
Di : Me .
Annie : Oh .
Di : Babe . You know , Kendall , even . You know , a job that , that -- that you love , Annie . You know what ? You just have to -- you have to draw the line and see if Greenlee steps over it .
Babe : You re not quitting .
Annie : Ok . You re right , I m not . But is it too much to ask for one day to be Greenlee - free ?
Di : She s not going anywhere , and neither are you .
Annie : It s like those stories you hear when the tribes sacrifice something to the volcano . Maybe I need to , you know , leave my job in order to save my marriage .
Di : You do nt have to give up anything .
Babe : Volcano stories are just jokes , anyway . The volcano could still blow and scorch everyone .
Di : And lava s everywhere , no matter how many goats or virgins you give up .
Annie : My marriage could burn , no matter what I do .
Greenlee : You re breaking up with me ? Your look -- hello ? It s priceless . You need to be a couple to break up . We re not a couple .
Ryan : No , we re not --
Greenlee : Let me guess -- Let s just be friends . I ll call you . It s not you , it s me .
Ryan : Yeah , um , Greenlee , you re finding your way back in Pine Valley , and I want you to know that I want nothing more for you than happiness , but I ca nt be with you . We ca nt talk , we ca nt hang out -- nothing .
Greenlee : You re still kidding , right ?
Ryan : Look , you and Kendall are getting along now and -- and it s great , and I m glad . and she will include you in Spike s life , but it s going to have to be without me .
Greenlee : How -- how -- how is that possible ?
Ryan : We ll figure it out .
Greenlee : No , we ca nt do this without you . You re the reason I wanted to have a baby . You re the reason Spike exists . You re the reason I want to be in his life -- why Kendall is letting me .
Ryan : This is the way that it has to be , Greenlee . I ca nt be your friend , or anything else .
Greenlee : Ok , well , you know what ? You re in the middle of this whether you like it or not . Because without you , it all falls apart . What , are you going to try and take it all away from me again ?
Adam : You d like to make some more money , would nt you ?
Zach : Who would nt ?
Adam : You re a smart man , a savvy businessman .
Zach : Let me go get some boots out of my car so I can wade through this stuff .
Adam : How about double or nothing ?
Zach : Well , sometimes that s a good bet , but most of the time , the house takes all .
Adam : You extend the deadline , you enjoy a huge return on your investment .
Zach : Ahem . What d you have in mind ?
Adam : Say , a year .
Zach : No .
Adam : Huh . Not the risk taker I thought .
Zach : Sorry I disappoint you . I ll try harder next time .
Adam : Hmm .
Zach : I did nt kidnap Junior , and I did nt want him back . I have no use for your son .
Adam : Hmm . I know you d love seeing him suffer . Love that . You have every reason to hate J.R. But whatever he did to your wife , he was nt in his right mind . He was nt himself . It was nt personal .
Zach : Was nt personal , huh ?
Adam : No .
Zach : Not J.R. s fault ? Just like it s not your fault that he turned out to be an entitled sociopath . No one s fault at all .
Colby : Dad ?
Colby : Hey , there are guys out in our front yard videotaping our cars . Are we on a reality show or something ?
Zach : Those are my men . They re cataloguing your collateral .
Adam : Is that really necessary ?
Colby : Are you kidding ? You re actually calling in this loan ?
Zach : That , I am .
Colby : How sick is that ? My brother just got kidnapped , and my dad had to make a deal . He was desperate . I mean , do nt you get it ? He was trying to keep our family together . He was trying to save his son .
Zach : Honey , your father and I have a business arrangement . That s all your daddy understands -- business . Nothing personal , right , Adam ?
Adam : Hmm .
J.R. : You got to excuse my cousin . She s a little on the upset side lately .
Amanda : I m sorry . I did nt mean to get all sad eyes on you .
Pilot : I have to say , I was intrigued by your call , Mr. Chandler . I m always looking for new opportunities .
J.R. : Well , you come well recommended .
Pilot : I believe in discretion for all my clients . If this is a bad time , we can reschedule .
Amanda : No .
J.R. : Oh , no , no . No , thank you for coming . I can only imagine the wicked jet lag you have from traveling so much .
Pilot : It s an occupational hazard .
J.R. : Yeah . Where have you been recently ?
Pilot : Well , I love Southeast Asia , and I was just there , and Bora Bora .
J.R. : Yeah . Wow , wow . And these are , like , last - minute trips ?
Pilot : Some yes , some no .
Amanda : Do you take a co - pilot or anything ?
Pilot : That depends on the trip .
J.R. : And are you available anytime ?
Pilot : As my schedule allows .
J.R. : Looks like you just got back from vacation .
Amanda : You have some really great color .
Pilot : Working .
J.R. : Now , if I wanted to take my girlfriend , I mean , somewhere way off the map , where would I go this time of year ? What s the best place ?
Pilot : What s this really about ?
Amanda : It s about the man I love . I just want him back .
Erica : How did one date lead to your remarrying ?
Jack : Oh , no , sweetheart -- sweetheart -- no , no , no , I did nt mean to imply that I would be remarrying anytime soon . No , no , no , I just -- I feel like I have to be honest with you , especially now , seeing you like this . You know ? I mean , I feel like I ca nt keep anything from you .
Erica : Well , I would hope not .
Jack : Oh -- I will wake up every morning , and I will miss you . I will look around the home we tried to create , and I will know that I could never fill the abyss that you have left behind . I will just somehow -- somehow try and figure out how to go on without you .
Erica : Well , I m right here , Jack .
Jack : But I ca nt do this . This , I ca nt do . I ca nt watch you go from this radiant , vibrant woman to what --
Jack : I ca nt do it , Erica . I ca nt visit you anymore . I have to say good - bye . Good - bye .
Erica : Do nt do it , Jack Montgomery . Do not walk out that door .
Babe : Everyone needs a place to vent , to scream , pull their hair out . We wo nt tell .
Annie : You guys should nt have to listen to me .
Di : But we will .
Annie : Ok . I hate her . I hate Greenlee .
Di : All right , you know what , Annie ? Yeah , go ahead , freak out all you need to right now , because when Greenlee gets here , you got to buck up , little soldier . You ca nt have any doubts around Greenlee .
Babe : You re a strong woman . You protected your daughter , did nt you ?
Annie : You have no idea .
Di : Well , you re still that same tough woman . You know ? And she would nt have quit Fusion . She would nt have let Greenlee have any piece of her .
Annie : You re right . You re right . I m not giving Greenlee an inch .
Di : That s what I m talking about .
Annie : But I am sick of talking . Only action from here on out . I ca nt control Ryan , only he can .
Babe : Right .
Annie : But I can control me and my actions , and I will figure out a way to deal with Greenlee .
Babe : I ve been in Ryan s position with -- with someone who wo nt give up .
Di : Yeah , that s not the best example , I do nt think .
Babe : Actually , it is , because I was in an unhappy marriage , and I was selfish , and I made mistakes . But that s not Ryan . He loves you , and he s committed , and he s happy . You have nothing to worry about .
Annie : Thank you , Babe . The thing is , I m not worried about Ryan cheating . I know he would nt break his vows . My problem is that Greenlee is a part of his life that he has nt quite let go of yet . I mean , she s a part of his -- his day . She s a part of his world .
Babe : Have you told him to walk away from Greenlee ?
Annie : I ca nt . He s not a child . And I wo nt treat him or our marriage like that . Plus , if I have to make Ryan give up Greenlee , then it s already too late .
Ryan : My wife and my kids are my top priority , if I have nt --
Greenlee : You know , I heard that part , Ryan .
Ryan : It s just that I ca nt have anybody interfere with my family .
Greenlee : So , um -- how exactly am I a threat to your family ?
Ryan : You re everywhere , Greenlee . And it has to stop .
Greenlee : And what exactly constitutes a threat ? Standing this close to you ? Or this close ? Do I have to bolt out the door if you come and visit Annie at Fusion ? If you call the office and I answer the phone ? Hello , Fusion , this is Greenlee ? Oh , Ryan ? Click .
Ryan : Do nt be ridiculous .
Greenlee : Well , I m just trying to figure out the rules here . I mean , is there a time limit on our innocent conversation , or has that been outlawed completely ? But here s the big question , Ryan . Is this really about me being near you ? Or is it about you being near me ? Because if we pass each other on the street , and we do nt say a word , how are you going to stop yourself from looking at me the way that you do ?
Ryan : That s enough , Greenlee .
Greenlee : I ve seen it , Ryan . I ve seen that look -- ever since I jumped on the back of your motorcycle . And Annie has seen it , too . This is nt about me , Ryan . This is about you . This is about you and how you still want me .
Ryan : Do nt -- do nt make me say it , Greenlee . Do nt make me hurt you .
Greenlee : You ve already done that .
Ryan : I just -- I do nt want this to be any harder for you .
Greenlee : Harder for me or harder for you ?
Ryan : Ok , I ll say it one more time , Greenlee . I do nt want you . And I do nt want to marry you , I do nt want to date you . And if I have to choose between a friendship with you and -- and my marriage , I choose my wife .
Greenlee : Look , Annie just does nt trust you yet , so --
Ryan : No -- no , no , no . This is nt about trust .
Greenlee : So then , um , all that talk about family -- guess it really did nt include me after all .
Ryan : Hey , I came here out of respect for our past and -- and what I owe you . It s just that we ca nt -- we ca nt be together , we ca nt talk .
Greenlee : This is so -- this is so over - the - top . Did I throw myself on you ? Did -- did I rip off my clothes and seduce you ? Did -- did I tie you to a bed ? Am I kissing you ? No . No , no , no .
Ryan : Greenlee , we re done . We re done .
Greenlee : I lost my husband . I did nt know I was going to have to say good - bye to my friend , too .
Annie : Yeah , we are glad to have Greenlee back , too . Ok , I ll tell her you called .
Babe : Maybe you should take an hour .
Di : Yeah . You know what , go -- go find Ryan , deal with what s happened .
Annie : I love him , I do . And I know he loves me .
Babe : Then you re going to figure it out . Just do nt push him away .
Annie : Am I maybe making too much of this ? I mean , maybe it s that whole newlywed territorial thing . Maybe I just need to relax , right ?
Di : Right , yeah , exactly . Ryan loves you .
Babe : Yes . Greenlee is his past and you are his future .
Di : Once -- once Greenlee gets rejected , you know she s going to lay off . Her ego ca nt handle it .
Annie : Yeah . Maybe Greenlee will back off , if she does nt get a new reason to hang on .
Amanda : I wanted a prenup and he did nt , and he left me .
J.R. : And I think that she s better off without him .
Amanda : Look , the real deal is we were both jerks , and I do nt care about a stupid prenup , ok ? I just want him back .
Pilot : I ve only flown a couple of solo men in the last two weeks .
J.R. : Was one of them Asian ?
Pilot : I thought you did nt like the guy .
Amanda : Uh -- he just wants me to be happy .
Singer : I would wait on you
Pilot : Are you testing my discretion ?
J.R. : All right , you know what ? Let s just --
Amanda : Look , I could really use a refill . Do you want anything ?
Singer : With a kiss
Amanda : Look , I m really sorry about my cousin . I m not trying to trick anyone .
Singer : How could you throw it all away ?
Amanda : Have you ever missed someone ? Have you ever gotten lonely ? God , I get so lonely .
Pilot : That s a shame .
Amanda : It is , is nt it ?
Pilot : I tell you what -- when you get over the ex , you give me a call . Other than that , I never discuss clients -- ever .
J.R. : What do you know about Zach Slater ?
Pilot : Hey , your cousin already tried . She failed .
J.R. : You know , you re hot when you lie ?
Amanda : Oh .
Singer : I forgot those words that pass this way
Aidan : Do you have any kind of idea what game you re playing ?
Singer : Tell the truth
Erica : I have no tolerance for games , Jack , and you know that , and I was not on my deathbed and we both know that .
Jack : I had no idea .
Erica : I had a case of exhaustion . I never said that I was dying .
Jack : No , no , no -- no more tricks . No more games , ok ? No more of this nonsense . I will not be strung along -- I want you to tell me if you want me or not , and I want you to do it right now or I m walking right out that door .
Erica : Oh , cut it out . Will you please stop the grandstanding ? You did nt let me finish . It s a silly question -- because of course , I want you . Anybody can see that , with or without the cameras . The real question is , what are you going to do about it ?
J.R. : What s with the car out front ?
Colby : You really want my prom dress and my family photos ?
Zach : Leave the girl s stuff alone . Come on , Webster .
J.R. : What is this all about ?
Adam : The Bank of Slater is taking inventory .
Zach : Hi , Junior .
J.R. : Colby , take your stuff up to your room and stay there .
Colby : I m not going anywhere .
Adam : Sweetheart , please . Please . I do nt want you to see this .
Colby : I love you , Dad .
J.R. : I got a lead on that ransom , but I got to handle it alone .
Adam : Whatever you need .
J.R. : Buy me some time . That s what I need .
Adam : Yeah .
Zach : You know , maybe it was a little damp in that basement . But your father and I understand something that you obviously do nt -- ransom money is very rarely recovered , so you need to calm down and just accept reality .
J.R. : Reality ? What do you know about reality ?
Adam : It was worth every dime to get you home .
Zach : See ? That s what I m talking about . Give yourself a break . No one s blaming you for losing the Chandler fortune . Why would they ?
Erica : If you want to leave , go ahead . You said you wanted to hear it . You heard it from me . I said I love you , and I want you . Still , you re going to walk away .
Jack : You put this in motion .
Erica : Well , I hope you remember this . When you look back on this moment , I hope that it keeps you warm in our bed -- the moment you won , the moment you broke me , because it will never happen again . How proud you must be , how -- how happy this must make you .
Jack : You re not broken . You re Erica Kane . You ca nt be broken , you ca nt be tamed or trained . And I pity the fool that would even try . You do nt back down from anybody , you do nt take orders from anybody . That fire is why I fell in love with you , that fight . That s why I never stopped . It s you , Erica . You won . You always do .
Greenlee : I -- I thought after that night at our -- at yours and Annie s place , after you invited me into your family , I -- I thought things were better .
Ryan : Some were . Some not .
Greenlee : Well , Kendall and I are almost there . I held your baby . I held him .
Ryan : I know . And I m glad . But you and me are nt working .
Greenlee : But remember when Kendall asked you to cut me out of your life and -- and you would nt do it ?
Ryan : This is my decision , Greenlee . This is mine , and I would really appreciate it if you left Annie out of it .
Greenlee : Ok . Ok . Annie and I are done .
Ryan : Thank you .
Greenlee : So , uh , what -- what do we say now ? Good - bye ? Um -- have a nice life ? Why does this feel like forever ?
Ryan : We were close . We just ca nt be close anymore , that s it .
Greenlee : Yeah , that s it , that s it . I have to go .
Annie : I got your text . What are you doing down here ? It s not even open yet .
Ryan : I just wanted to talk about last night -- you know , about everything that we said .
Annie : Maybe we should .
Ryan : I know we kind of got lost a little bit this morning getting Emma ready and out of the house , but I think it s important . I think we have to deal with it . Annie ? Are you listening ?
Annie : Two cups of coffee , lipstick . You were Greenlee s big , important meeting . Oh . That s why she was looking at me like she knew something I did nt -- because she was right .
Greenlee : I took the risk , Leo . One , two , three -- jump . And I crashed . Bit it bigtime . So now what should I do ? With you , I had no choice , but -- well , now , I have a choice . I ca nt do this again . Oh , where is fate when you need her ? If I lose Ryan , I lose everything , and I ca nt -- not now , not ever .
Jack : Whew .
Erica : Was this your plan all along ? All this talk about remarrying ?
Jack : Was it your plan to lay in that bed , make me worry about losing you ?
Erica : Oh , do nt talk to me anymore . Just make love to me , Jack .
Jack : Oh , my God -- how much did I miss you ?
Erica : Technically , you came to me .
Jack : Shut up and kiss me .
Aidan : You re not after this Seamus guy for some coin .
Amanda : Why does it matter ?
Aidan : The fact that J.R. is involved should be more than enough reason for you to run .
Amanda : I know what I m doing . Back off .
Aidan : Back off ? Trust me , you do nt want me to back off , Amanda . Listen , either this Seamus Wong guy sold your coin , or he s come into some serious bank . Because he s paid his mum s mortgage off in full , plus all of his student loans . So it looks like your man has found something to do with his money .
Amanda : It s not his money .
Zach : Welcome to my new home .
Jack ( to Erica ) : We found our way back to each other , and now you re telling me the show must go on ?
Greenlee ( to Josh and Kendall ) : Have you ever met two people more perfect for each other ?
Tad ( to J.R. ) : Tell me you did nt fake your own kidnapping .
Zach ( to Adam ) : You think you can win your company back in a card game ?
Adam ( to Zach ) : Man enough to take me on ?

Reva : We do nt know that , Joshua . We do nt know that . I made a choice . And right or wrong , it was never meant to hurt you . And I m making a choice again , today . And it s not meant to hurt you either . It has nothing to do with you .
Josh : You really love -- you really love him ?
Reva : I do .
Josh : Okay . Okay , then I do nt belong here . I ll go . Um , could you let me know what happens with the test results , because if I talk to the kids , I d like to know what I m talking about ? If you do nt -- if you do nt want to tell me , that s fine . . .

Josh : I do nt know . I do nt know . Everybody s waiting for you . Bye .
Reva : Joshua ?
Josh : I ve got to go .
Jeffrey : Are you okay ?
Reva : Are you ?
Jeffrey : Uh , well , you know , I ve heard of fighting dirty before , but not like this . And not today . I am sorry .

Billy : Hey , hey . Where s Reva ? Holy . . . what -- what . . .
Josh : Do nt ask , okay ?
Billy : What did she do , kick your butt ?
Josh : No , actually , Jeffrey did . Well , that s not -- that s not true . I gave as good as I got . But I started it , though .
Billy : What happened to the plan where we were supposed to be kidnapping Reva ? Where we should be halfway to --
Josh : Billy --
Billy : It was a good plan .
Josh : It was a terrible plan , okay ?
Billy : Is this a better plan ?
Josh : I do nt know what the plan is anymore .
Billy : Okay , just answer me one thing . Are you giving up now ?
Josh : Yeah . I m giving up Reva because it s the right thing to do . She loves him .
Billy : No , not as much as she loves you .
Josh : Billy . . . Billy . . . the cancer may be back .
Billy : What ?
Josh : She had some tests -- some tests done . She s waiting for the results . She said I could tell you . I m sorry , okay ? I know how hard it was for you to go through that with her the first time around .
Billy : Yeah . You just found this out ?
Josh : She just told me .
Billy : Did she tell Jeffrey ?
Josh : Yes , she did . She actually said she learned her lesson from the first time around , when she did nt tell me about it . Go figure .
Billy : You know she s going to be okay , do nt you ? She s got to be .
Josh : Sure .
Billy : You re going to be okay , too .
Josh : Hey , I m not going through anything compared to what she s going through .
Billy : Yeah , yeah , but you are going through something .
Josh : Do you want to go for a drive ?

Reva : Yeah .
Jeffrey : No , it s not a sign . You want to see a sign ? Here ! See ? That s a sign , Reva . That s a sign !
Reva : Just married ?
Jeffrey : What ?
Reva : Just married -- that sign is a sign . She did nt have time to finish it . Maybe we do nt either !
Jeffrey : Reva , we do have time to get this done , okay ? This is gon na get done , and it s gon na get done in time . In time for what ? What are you talking about ? Oh , my God , did you hear from the hospital ?
Reva : I got a call . The hospital has the test results , but I told them later .
Jeffrey : Good , because I m going to marry you . I m going to marry you now .
Reva : Jeffrey --
Jeffrey : No . Listen , we have everything we need . We have friends , we have flowers , we have cake . We even have a half finished sign that says this is supposed to happen ! Okay ? So what more could we possibly need ?
Reva : I have all I need . Okay , quick , before the car breaks down .
Marina : Hey , wait !
Remy : Hey , where you going ?
Mallet : What are these things ?
Buzz : Mosquitoes , you -- ow !
Coop : You had one on you . I m sorry .
Lillian : Oh , oh , oh , oh ! We re not ready for you yet .
Reva : Why does everybody keep saying that ?
Lillian : Um , I m really sorry about the house and everything , but are you feeling okay ?
Jeffrey : We re fine . We ll just do it here .
Lillian : Well , a lot of bugs --
Buzz : Ow !
Lillian : Well , we put the food out too early , and there were ants crawling all over it , we ve got mosquitoes , but it s under control .
Marina : Hey , what s going on ?
Remy : Yeah , you guys sped out of there .
Reva : I know . We were in a hurry to get married . Thanks .
Buzz : Oh !
Lillian : Bugs .
Remy : Oh .
Marina : Ew !
Frank : Oh , my God , whatever you do , do nt -- do nt eat the potato salad , okay ?
Daisy : It s not the food . It s karma for being mean to your niece .
Marina : Maybe it was all that beer .
Lillian : Buzz just has the worst luck with potato salad .
Reva : You think he has the worst luck ? Jeffrey --
Jeffrey : All right . You know what ? All we need is the cake ? Do we have a cake ? We just need to cut the cake .
Reva : That s good .
Mallet : Yeah , um . . . about the cake , guys --
Reva : Oh , please do nt tell me there are nt anymore of those little cupcakes left ?
Coop : Um , two or three , maybe . I mean , I think the deer got the rest of them .
Mallet : Groundhogs , maybe .
Coop : Yeah , well , anyways , who took the lid off the cupcakes in the first place ? I mean --
Reva : Oh , uh , that was probably us . We were testing the icing .
Jeffrey : It was good .
Reva : Really good .
Jeffrey : I -- I hate nature . Um , you know , I wanted to do this for you .
Reva : It s okay . It is . It s fine . Let s just forget the party , and let s go find the minister . Okay .
Jeffrey : Do nt tell me --
Buzz : The minister had a family emergency . And Hawk is somewhere over the Rocky Mountains .
Daisy : I ll give her away .
Reva : Yeah , I bet you would . You know what ? It s fine . It s fine . We do nt have food , we do nt have a house . . . that s cool . Flowers ? We have flowers .
Mallet : Deer , maybe .
Coop : Uh , groundhogs , possibly .
Jeffrey : Okay , you know what ? We do nt need -- we do nt need any of that . We do nt need anything . You know what ? We have us , and that is all that we need , right ? And we ll just -- we ll just go get married over there , you know , by the wagon . And afterwards , we can all go to the wagon for lunch or something .
Reva : Hotdogs .
Jeffrey : Okay ?
Reva : Hotdogs !
Jeffrey : Nothing is going to ruin today . Okay ? So let s all just -- let s go to the wedding , okay ? Everybody ! And the last one there has to eat Buzz s potato salad .
Reva : ( Laughing )
Frank : Oh , no . No , no .
Buzz : What ? ( Laughter )
Buzz : Did you guys make a crack about the potato salad ?
Josh : Okay , God . . . Billy s gone , and Reva is off getting married somewhere , so . . . it s just you and me . God , I thought this place -- I thought I belonged here . And I thought my calling would give me some answers . But the fact is . . . I just have more questions . I m kind of thinking that I ve been spending too much time telling you how to do your job . So maybe it is time for me to just shut up and let you tell me how to do mine because I really do nt know what s next for me . Of course , the way I ve been acting lately , I probably do nt deserve any special favors . ( Cell phone beeps ) My son wants to see me . On my way , Shayne . Thank you . Oh , um . . . one more thing . Could you look after his mom because . . . too many people need her , you know ? We need her to be here with us . Thanks .
Jeffrey : Hello ? Mr. Weenie wagon man ?
All : Mr. Weenie wagon man !
Jeffrey : Anybody there ?
Hot Dog Man : It s the weenie wagon man ! What can I get you ?
Jeffrey : Hi , um . . . how fast can you cook up 40 hotdogs ?
Hot Dog Man : Would you like mustard on those ? ( Everybody yelling ) ( Laughter )
Reva : Oh , that feels good . So . . .
Jeffrey : Yeah ?
Reva : This wedding better be good because the honeymoon could be over before it starts .
Jeffrey : Just . . . think of it like it s just a regular old doctor s appointment .
Reva : Yeah , one that could turn our lives upside down . It s not fair to start a marriage like that . It s not fair to put all that kind of pressure on you .
Jeffrey : We do nt even know anything yet , right ? Okay ? Do nt worry about me because I do nt mind living my life upside down as long as I have you in it . And in case you did nt know , I am taking this husband gig very seriously . Focus , okay ? Focus . Wedding .
Reva : Wedding .
Mallet : I do nt know why I m not on beer patrol .
Marina : ( Laughing )
Mallet : What s this all about ?
Marina : I like weddings .
Mallet : Well , I like weddings like this , you know , where you throw it all together and keep it real , and make it more about the people than the party .
Marina : Really ?
Mallet : Yeah . Why ?
Marina : I do nt know . I guess I never really thought about what kind of wedding you would like . I think I kind of like that kind , too . You know . . . theoretically speaking .
Mallet : Mm - hmm . Theoretically .
Marina : Mm - hmm .
Mallet : How come you did nt marry any of those other guys ?
Marina : You really want to talk about all my fugitive ex- boyfriends right now ? Because I do nt .
Mallet : Yeah , me either .
Reva : What are you doing ?
Daisy : I was just thinking about how I should walk you down the aisle . How does this look ?
Reva : Very graceful . You do nt want to be here .
Daisy : I do .
Reva : That s my line . ( Laughter ) Hey , thank you for not bringing Grady .
Daisy : Yeah . Well , it s just for today . Do nt take it as a sign or anything .
Reva : I m trying not to take anything as a sign today , believe me .
Daisy : What does that mean ?
Reva : Forget it .
Daisy : Yeah , well , just know that he s not around today , but do nt get used to it .
Reva : ( Laughing ) Come on . Why do nt you practice walking me to the beer ?
Daisy : Oh , sure !
Reva : None for you .
Buzz : Okay , everybody , on three . One , two , three !
All : Here comes the bride , all dressed in ... black and white --
Reva : Enough , enough , enough !
Lillian : Are you guys ready ?
Jeffrey : I know I am .
Reva : Me , too .
Buzz : Okay , then let s get to it ! ( Chattering )
Cassie : Hey .
Josh : Hey . Are you surprised to see me ? You thought I would be off somewhere breaking up a wedding someplace ?
Cassie : Uh , yeah . Just for the record , Reva did invite me , but I -- so that s still happening ?
Josh : If it has nt already .
Cassie : So why -- why did you come here ?
Josh : I came to say good - bye .
Remy : Wait , can you even do that ?
Mallet : Well , he s the lawyer . He d know , right ?
Jeffrey : There is no law that says I ca nt .
Buzz : So it s settled . Let s go !
Frank : No , no . Hold on one second . Should nt we confirm this ?
Marina : No !
Coop : No !
Lillian : Have you all figured something out ?
Buzz : Yes !
Reva : So who s marrying us ?
Jeffrey : I am !
Reva : Okay .
Jeffrey : Ah , wait a minute . Would you stand up there with me ? I think that Ava would really like that .
Remy : I d be honored . ( Laughter )
Daisy : ( Clears throat )
Reva : ( Laughing ) Gracefully . So , um . . . how do we do this ?
Jeffrey : I m not sure . Dearly beloved . . . ( clears throat ) . . . we are gathered here today because this beautiful woman and I , we want to -- we want to get married . Uh . . .
Reva : ( Giggling ) So far so good . Keep going !
Jeffrey : Okay . So , uh , well , let s just cut to the good part , shall we ? Uh , Reva Shayne , do you take me , Jeffrey ONeill , as your lawfully wedded husband , to have and to hold , for richer , for poorer , in sickness and in health ?
Reva : I ve heard enough . I do .
Jeffrey : Okay . And do I , Jeffrey ONeill , take you , Reva Shayne . . . wait a minute , I forgot something I m supposed to ask them . . . I was supposed to ask you -- you know , if anyone here has any objections , speak now or --
Buzz : No !
Coop : No !
Marina : No !
Mallet : No ! ( Laughter )
Jeffrey : Okay , but you know what ? There is something I do want to say . I want to tell you , and I want to tell everyone . Reva , my life with you has been so incredible ever since we ve been together ; ever since I started living it with you . And when we first got together , it was just supposed to be because we wanted to have a little fun . But the best part is it s still fun . It s a special kind of fun now . And it s fun . . . it s still fun because , I love you . And I love you . . . I love the way you smile . I love the way you keep me on my toes . I love the way you make me want to be a better man . I love it all , you know . And I promise you that I m going to do everything I can to keep that smile -- that one right there on your face -- for as long as we both shall live . And do I take you to be my wife ? You bet I do !
Daisy : Wait , not yet ! Jinx !
Jeffrey : Oh , right , yeah . We would nt want to jinx the wedding because it s gone like clockwork so far !
Reva : ( Laughing ) ( Laughter )
Jeffrey : So , um . . . I now pronounce us man and wife . And I am going to kiss my bride . ( Cheers and applause ) ( Laughter ) Let s party ! ( Cheering )
Reva : I want to propose a toast ! ( Cheering ) Oh , yeah ! Come on in . Come on , grab it . Here . Sweetie , that s for you .
Daisy : Thank you .
Reva : You re welcome . Okay . Everybody ready ? Here s to my wonderful new husband .
Buzz : Here , here .
Reva : Thank you . But I m not done yet . ( Laughter ) Here s to the surprise of finding love at this time in my life . And . . . to marrying a man who likes me just fine the way I am .
Jeffrey : Someone who loves you the way you are .
Reva : And to a man who interrupts me to say the things that every girl wants to have him say . I love you , Jeffrey .
Jeffrey : Right back at you !
Buzz : Here -- here .
Reva : And I want to thank all of you for sharing this day with us here , today , because I ll -- I ll never forget this . And now . . . if I can find my bouquet , ladies ? It s right over here . Hold on . Come on . Ready ? Come on , Lillian ! One , two , three !
Marina : Daisy !
Buzz : Oh ! ( Everybody talking )
Mallet : Cheers .
Reva : ( Laughing ) You re a lucky man .
Josh : Thank you . I really wanted to tell R.J. myself .
Cassie : That s okay . You can tell him when you get back . I ll just explain to him that sometimes you get to be a dad here , and sometimes you have to be a dad somewhere else . I m sure Shayne is really excited .
Josh : Well , it was his idea . It could nt have come at a better time .
Cassie : Yeah , before you actually broke your hand on Jeffrey s jaw ?
Josh : It s got nothing to do with Reva and Jeffrey . It s not even about Reva . I know that now . I do nt know what s next for me . I really do nt . But I have come to realize something . We did nt fall apart because of Reva or anybody else . We did nt fall apart because of cheating . I have been lost . I think , just as much as you have been . The only difference is I just did nt know it , or I just -- I did nt admit it to myself . And it s time for me to go away somewhere , figure some things out . Which is , kind of , funny because that s something you ve been telling me that you ve needed to do for a long time .
Cassie : I wish I could help you , but I m no farther along to figuring anything out than you are .
Josh : I think , I just want to say that . . . we did nt fall apart because we did nt love each other enough . Or because I love somebody else . I wanted you to know that .
Cassie : Thank you . ( Cheering )
Buzz : Oh ! Oh , my crazy kids !
Lillian : Oh , I love your crazy kids .
Buzz : You know , for all of the catastrophic , horrendous , idiotic things that happened today , one thing went right . It was that they found each other , Jeffrey and Reva . I mean , if they can survive this --
Lillian : They can survive anything . ( Inaudible )
Reva : How s your hand ?
Jeffrey : It s fine . I mean , I can still . . . strum . Hmm . Not exactly the wedding night of your dreams , huh ?
Jeffrey : Yours either .
Reva : True .
Jeffrey : You know , I never really had a wedding night in my dreams . I never dreamt that I would ever even be married , so . . . that s a first for me . And I m sure there are going to be many , many more of those with you .
Reva : You hope there will be .
Jeffrey : I know . I love you .
Reva : I love you .
Jeffrey : You okay , Mrs. ONeill ?
Reva : I m -- I m sick about all of this , especially after how perfect yesterday was .
Jeffrey : Who says today ca nt be just as perfect ?
Reva : Well , the doctor ?
Jeffrey : It s just a regular old checkup . Unless we hear something different , that s all this is .
Reva : Uh , you know , I think I really am going to be sick . Um . . . you go ahead . I m just going to --
Jeffrey : I ll go with you .
Reva : No , no , it s fine . It s just nerves . I ll be back in a second .
Jeffrey : Dr. Hendrix . Reva will be back in a minute . Could you tell me , you know , if it s bad ? Because if it s bad , I think that I should really tell her . Please ?
Doctor : Have a seat . It s good news . There is no cancer .
Jeffrey : Oh ! Thank you . Thank you . I ll go tell her --
Doctor : Wait . There s one more thing .
Jeffrey : What ?
Doctor : Mr. ONeill , your wife is pregnant .
Coming up on Guiding Light . . .
Jeffrey : Reva is pregnant ?
Jeffrey : That s right .
Reva : I need a shot of whiskey ... maybe a dozen . I need a drink . Here s to cancer ! I beat you once , I can beat you again . And screw you for almost messing up my wedding !

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Sonny : Hey , Jax , do you think maybe I can cut in ?
Jax : No .
Carly : No . Oh , my -- what ?
Ric : Sorry to break up the party . We re here on official business . It seems Sam and Jason did nt surrender themselves as previously agreed . That would make them fugitives still . And now you are officially an accessory . You want to arrest him , please ?
Sonny : It s not right .
Carly : You ca nt do this . Sam and Jason have 15 minutes .
Sonny : Unless -- unless you know something we do nt , Ric -- like they did nt make it because you set up an ambush . Is that what happened ?
Jason : Get out -- get out of the car !
Damian : That was wicked .
Sam : Spinelli !
Laura : Even the skyline has changed since the last time I was here .
Luke : Forget the skyline , darling , and all the changes . In fact , forget everything but us -- the once again and forever Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Lorenzo Spencer in our eternal bridal suite . What should we drink to ?
Laura : The truth about me .
Emily : No , no , stand back . She needs room .
Lucky : Are you ok ?
Elizabeth : Yeah , I m fine .
Emily : Did you cut yourself ?
Elizabeth : No , I do nt think so .
Lucky : What about the baby ?
Elizabeth : I m fine .
Edward : Would somebody please tell me what the hell is going on in my own home ?
Carly : Why do nt you ask Ric , our wonderful D.A. ? Sonny made a deal for Sam and Jason to turn themselves in , but Ric made his own deal to have them both killed , huh ?
Ric : You know , Carly s delusional , as always .
Carly : Yeah .
Ric : Sam and Jason broke the law . It s my job to bring them in .
Carly : Ha - ha .
Ric : Oh , what , you re trying to get ahold of Jason there and you ca nt ?
Carly : I swear to God , if anything happens to him , I will kill you .
Sonny : Check your watch , Ric . Jason and Sam still have time to surrender . Unless you want all these people to testify that you jumped the gun on a deal that your own people made ?
Ric : You made the deal with Mac , not me . Ok , I may have gotten the surrender time wrong .
Carly : Yeah .
Ric : We ll wait , give Sam and Jason the benefit of the doubt .
Lucky : I think you should sit down for a minute .
Damian : Wow ! Just like Bad - Ass Angel IV .
Sam : How did you find your way over here ?
Damian : I know all the back alleys around here .
Jason : Yeah , throw some --
Lorenzo : I ve decided to make an appearance at a committee meeting . I should be tied up about an hour or so .
Diego : Well , that s smart , right ? Have some witnesses for your whereabouts before Jason and the others get it ?
Lorenzo : Yeah . One of my men will call to confirm when it s done . You stay as far away from that alley as possible .
Diego : What , that -- that s it ? Well , what am I supposed to do , go home now ?
Lorenzo : Yeah , go wherever you want . Your business is done for the night .
Diego : Ok , Dad , it s kind of hard adjusting to that , ok , going from 100 to zero in 10 seconds flat ? There s got to be something I can do . All right , I can tie up some loose ends , make some phone calls --
Lorenzo : What you can do is learn . The first important lesson is to know when to be involved and to know when to sit back and act surprised .
Diego : I can do that .
Lorenzo : Whoa -- Alexis up and about . You re looking well .
Alexis : Even a man with your considerable charm ca nt pull that off . By the way , I wanted to tell you I ve been watching the news a lot lately . And I ve noticed that you have kept your underworld mayhem to a minimum , and I want to thank you for waiting till I take my job back so that I can arrest you myself . Have a nice day .
Lorenzo : My pleasure .
Alexis : Do nt say anything . Do nt say anything . I ve checked myself out . Nothing you can say . Today s a very special occasion .
Laura : Did you really think you could keep something from me after all these years ? I so did nt want to believe Helena .
Luke : Helena ?
Laura : Yes .
Luke : When did you see Helena ?
Laura : Earlier .
Luke : Today ?
Laura : Yes .
Luke : She s supposed to be locked up somewhere in the Ozarks .
Laura : I went out to the rose garden before the ceremony . Something -- something inside me was just craving sunlight and warmth . And then there she was .
Luke : Well , what -- did she threaten you or --
Laura : Of course she did . Yeah , I asked her if she was here to curse our wedding again , and she said she did nt have to . She said that should go ahead and get married because it would all just fade away . And then during the ceremony , just as I was about to say my vows , she stepped in behind you just over your shoulder so only I could see her and I froze . And you said something . You said , Are you still with me ? -- As if you were expecting me to slip away . Luke , this miraculous recovery of mine is nt going to last , is it ?
Luke : No . At first I was afraid that the drug would work , because I did nt -- I did nt want to put you through this experiment . I was afraid , but I was more afraid that it would nt work . And then I flipped back again when the doctors told me what to expect .
Laura : And what is that ?
Luke : You will start to forget things , lose time . A little bit here and there , but continually until we re back where we started .
Laura : No , no . That ca nt be true . I can fight it . I ca nt do that again ! I can fight it ! Come on , let s call Robin right now .
Luke : Sweetheart , there s nothing that can be done .
Laura : You ve given up on me ?
Luke : No , never , never . I m just -- I m telling you the facts , Laura . Your prognosis has changed . This thing , this psychomotor disassociation they call it , it -- this condition started as an emotional condition , and now it s become a physical one and they ca nt operate . And they ca nt turn it around .
Laura : But the medication worked .
Luke : The medication was a big risk . But it was always a temporary fix .
Laura : But -- but I -- I disassociated because I could nt remember that -- that I killed my stepfather . And I have remembered now . So does nt that just negate everything ?
Luke : I m so sorry .
Laura : Oh , Luke --
Luke : I m so sorry .
Laura : I -- I did lose a little bit of time when I was out in the rose garden . And when I came back inside to get dressed for the wedding , I got lost in the hallway -- one that I ve walked through a hundred times . And -- and I ve been forgetting things that people say to me just a few minutes earlier . I ve known , Luke . I feel something trying to drag me under . It s like quicksand .
Laura : How long do I have ?
Luke : I do nt know . Not long .
Laura : How long have you known about this ?
Luke : Since before they administered the drug . It was one of the things I had to consider . I knew when you looked at me with recognition in your eyes for the first time in four years . I knew when you held your children , when you asked me to marry you . The only thing I have nt known is whether it was the right thing to do . I told myself I was doing it for the kids , and then I told myself I was doing it for you . But the truth is I m a selfish bastard , Laura . I did this for me . I wanted you back . I need you . I m lost without you !
Laura : No , you re not . You re not .
Luke : Maybe I should ve just -- maybe I should ve just let it go . And , look , what -- what would you do if somebody told you that they could give you time with the person that you love more than life but that time is brief ? What would you do ?
Laura : I would do exactly the same thing -- with one exception . I think I would ve told you from the start how it would end .
Damian : No , hold on ! I ve got to -- got to breathe !
Sam : Whoa , whoa , whoa , wait . We can spare a few seconds , come on . Do nt worry , we re going to get out of this .
Damian : Who -- whose posse is that ?
Jason : Alcazar s it s his backup plan in case the car bomb failed .
Damian : He really wants us dead , does nt he ?
Sam : Look , I do nt understand how our cover got blown . I never left the safe house .
Jason : I was not -- I was not followed , I am sure of it .
Damian : Ok , ok , it was probably me .
Sam : Oh , gosh .
Jason : How ?
Damian : Well , I -- I was going nuts for some chips , so I --
Sam : Whoa , whoa , whoa ! Jason , Jason --
Damian : I m -- I m really sorry , Goddess .
Sam : Hey -- hey , what s done is done . Come on . What s done is done . What s next ?
Jason : Ok . Well , if we can get to one of our --
Woman : Ok , sweetie , I ll be right back .
Alexis : Oh !
Kristina : Mommy !
Alexis : There you are , sweetie ! I missed you so much !
Kristina : I missed you , too .
Alexis : Oh , I love you . You know what ? We re all together now , that s all that matters . We re going to have the best time .
Mike : Look who s here .
Alexis : Look who s there ? Why , there s Molly . Let me see Molly .
Mike : Who s -- who s that ?
Kristina : Can I see the puppy ?
Alex : Yes , honey , you can see the -- make sure she s friendly , though , babe . Hi ! Where s Viola ?
Mike : Oh , she had some last - minute arrangements , you know , for the party . But it s really good you could make it . Um -- you look terrific .
Alexis : No , I do nt .
Kristina : Hi , puppy . Hey , boy . Hey , boy .
Alexis : All right .
Mike : So , tell me , what s --
Alexis : Ooh .
Mike : What s going on ?
Alexis : Well , I -- I have a secondary infection -- it s gone -- and I m ready for the second round of chemo and , no , I m not supposed to be here . I m supposed to be in the hospital , but I m not missing it because birthdays only come once a year . Hi there . Hi there .
Kristina : Hey , puppy . Hey . Doggy , that s a good boy . Yeah . Puppy , wait .
Ric : There was an explosion in an alley .
Carly : What about Jason ?
Ric : He s been seen in the vicinity , as well as somebody presumed to be Sam -- and some unidentified man . Shots were fired ; police have been dispatched . It seems that Jason has changed his mind about giving up .
Carly : And you re on your way over there to make sure he does nt get out alive ? Is that it ? Huh , Ric ? Does anyone here care that this man is about to murder someone we love ? Do you ?
Jax : Carly , this is nt helping .
Ric : Are you all right ? I m not trying to kill your friend . I m just doing my job . You believe that , right ?
Elizabeth : Yeah , of course , I do .
Lucky : Why are you covering ?
Carly : So what s your boyfriend using as an alibi tonight , huh ?
Kristina : Puppy , you here ? Puppy ?
Sam : If we run out of ammo , we re trapped .
Jason : Ok , we need to find cover .
Sam : Where ?
Diego : You need to finish this now ! If Jason and his girlfriend go to the cops , my dad is out for blood !
Sam : Create a diversion .
Jason : Ok . I ll draw their fire , you and Spinelli get to the warehouse .
Sam : Go .
Jason : Go , go .
Luke : So I should ve told you ? I should ve told you that the time was limited as soon as you could understand ? God , why did nt I do that ? I guess I just wanted to give my family something of value . I wanted to -- I wanted to see the joy in your face when you reunited with the kids . I wanted Lucky and Lulu to have one last shot at some decent parenting , and to have somebody who could actually answer these questions that they re constantly asking . And I wanted to spare you the fear and the desolation that I feel .
Laura : Time is so elusive , is nt it ? You always think you have enough of it . The years just sprawl out in front of you and they re all yours for the taking to do whatever you want with , to waste them ? There s plenty of time to live and plenty of time to love and make decisions and change your mind . Then you just blink , and 25 years -- or four years -- are gone . Out of your reach -- and so is the future . Oh , Luke -- Luke . This is happening to both of us . You should never have tried to carry this alone .
Luke : So , what do you -- what do you want to do from here ?
Laura : Well -- ok . First of all , no regrets . No regrets -- not about past decisions , and not about the letting go .
Luke : That s a pretty tall order .
Laura : I know , but you re up to it . I know you are . You are because I need you to be . Because now that I know that my time is going to be short , I want to enjoy every moment of it .
Luke : You are the bravest person I ve ever met .
Laura : No , I m not . I m scared , I m scared to death . My heart is in my throat and I am angry ! And right now I feel damn sorry for myself . But I do nt have the luxury of time to waste on all those negative emotions . So --
Laura : I wo nt . What about our kids ? Do they know ?
Luke : No .
Laura : I need to tell them .
Lulu : Well , at least my mom and dad got to have their happy ending before everything imploded .
Dillon : Yeah , well , maybe now you ll have a little more insight into why my family was so desperate for you to have the baby . They re always keeping their eyes pealed for a replacement for Jason . Because no matter how much they curse what he does or condemn him , he s still the golden boy . And the only way that s going to change is if , you know , Jason has a baby of his own , which --
Elizabeth : I m fine . Really , I -- I just got a little lightheaded from all the excitement of the day .
Lucky : And worry for Jason . Jason is as hooked on danger as I was on pills . He wo nt give up his addiction ; I did . Maybe I have a better reason .
Nikolas : Mom just called .
Lulu : On her wedding night ?
Nikolas : Yeah . She wants you , me , and Lucky at the house .
Lucky : I -- I ca nt . Elizabeth --
Elizabeth : Lucky , go . I m fine . Your mother needs you . Go .
Emily : Elizabeth , you are not fine . Neither am I. Let s just pray Jason is .
Damian : Great ! Now what ?
Sam : Are we surrounded ?
Jason : Catwalk -- let s go .
Sam : Come on .
Carly : You know , you do nt have to stay .
Jax : No , it s fine . I know how important Jason is to you , so we can just wait here together to hear the news .
Carly : That s really sweet . And I do nt want to sound like I do nt appreciate that , but I really want you to go . I love you , and I know that you love me . But I may have lost my best friend , and I am going to say and do things that you are not going to like me very much .
Jax : Do you think that I ca nt figure out what s going to happen next ? I do nt agree with it , and I do nt think that Sonny should do anything , but you re going to ask him anyway , so why do nt you just go ahead and ask ?
Carly : Do nt let Ric hurt another person you care about . You find a way , and you kill him .
Alexis : Honey , come on -- Kristina ? Kristina ?
Diego : Do nt move !
Lucky : Did Mom sound upset ?
Nikolas : I could nt tell .
Lucky : It s only been a couple of hours . I mean , what could Dad have done ?
Lulu : Hi .
Luke : Hi . You all made it .
Laura : Hi . Oh , sweetie . Well -- um -- you know , before we get into anything , I want to thank all of you for making this such a memorable day . You have no idea what it means to your father and me to -- to look out there and see all of you kids supporting us like that .
Nikolas : Did -- did you enjoy the carriage ride ?
Laura : Oh , yes .
Luke : It was great .
Laura : It was fabulous , in more ways than one . And then we -- we danced in the gazebo out by the woods . It was just -- it was just like a dream .
Lulu : So -- um -- so , why did you want to see us ?
Laura : I did nt . Did I ?
Sam : Kristina . Hey . Come here . What are you doing here ? What are you doing here , baby ? Are you ok ?
Officer : Lose your weapons and come out with your hands where we can see them .
Jason : No , no , no -- hey , wait .
Sam : No , no , no , go after him !
Jason : No -- Sam , I m not leaving you .
Sam : He s our only way out of this mess , Jason , go . Go !
Jason : What about you ?
Sam : I have to stay with Kristina . Hey -- hey -- it s ok .
Sonny : How many times has Jason beaten the odds ? He -- he knows that Ric and Alcazar are coming after him . He s not going to let them get him off - guard .
Carly : That s not the same and you know it ! Sam is with Jason this time , and he will do anything to protect her , and that s what scares me . And Ric is counting on that , and that s why he set up this trap . Jason loves Sam so much that he will do anything . He s willing to die for her , Sonny , and you know it .
Det . Rodriguez : All right , easy now , boys . Put your guns down . Easy , put it down .
Ric : What the hell ?
Det . Rodriguez : Ok , put it down . Put it down . Put it down .
Ric : Morgan s got to be around here someplace . Come on , up the steps . Go !
Det . Rodriguez : He s dead ?
Sam : It was self - defense . We need to take care of my sister .
Det . Rodriguez : It s ok , sweetheart . How you doing ?
Sam : It s ok .
Det . Rodriguez : All right , come on , let s get her out of here . Come on . Hold your fire . Put your guns down . We got a scared little girl on our hands . Morgan s still at large ?
Officer : Up there .
Jason : That s it . We re going to turn ourselves in the way we planned and that s it . What are you doing -- no , wait --
Officer : Stop right there ! Put the gun down .
Ric : He s got another gun ! Shoot !
Sam : Jason !
Ric : We got Sam .
Mac : What about Morgan ?
Ric : He was shot resisting arrest .
Det . Rodriguez : There was another man up there .
Ric : Yeah , well , he got out through a door up on the catwalk . Do nt worry , we ll find him .
Mac : Get some divers in the water , search for Morgan s body .
Ric : Kristina , are you all right ? What d you do to your sister ?
Sam : Stay away from us , Ric , please .
Alexis : Get away from her .
Ric : Alexis , what the hell are you doing ?
Alexis : Get away from my daughters !
Ric : Fine .
Alexis : Is she hurt ?
Sam : No .
Alexis : What happened ?
Sam : It was an accident . She saw me shoot someone .
Lorenzo : Where s my son ?
Sam : He s inside .
Alexis : I got to get her out of here . Come here , sweetie . Come to Mommy .
Sonny : Sam and Jason work as a team . She ll have his back .
Carly : Really ? Do you believe that , or are you just grasping at any excuse not to kill your brother ?
Sonny : No , I m scrambling to believe that my best friend is alive .
Jax : You know , I ca nt speak for Jason . But if something did happen to him , do you really think that this is how he d want the two of you to go about it -- by going at each other ?
Carly : I m sorry , Sonny . I m sorry . I m just scared because we ca nt lose Jason . You know , we ca nt lose him .
Sonny : Hello ? Talk -- talk to me .
Carly : No , Sonny , no .
Sonny : Jason --
Carly : Sonny --
Sonny : Was shot on -- on a roof . His body went into the water . He was unarmed . They have nt found him .
Elizabeth : Dear God . Please do nt let Jason be -- just let him be alive .
Officer : You ca nt be here . This is a crime scene .
Lorenzo : That s my son .
Officer : I m sorry for your loss .
Laura : Did I make something up in my head ?
Nikolas : No , no -- I m sorry , I -- this is my fault . I misunderstood .
Laura : No , that -- that s ok .
Nikolas : No , I -- uh -- I did nt check when -- when that message came in . Obviously it was -- it was an old one . We -- we should go .
Luke : Yeah , as much as we love your company , do nt let the door hit you on your tiny little butts as you go . Sorry about the confusion , kids .
Laura : Do nt go !
Lucky : Mom , what s going on ?
Laura : I ve been having some memory lapses and -- um -- losing time . Uh -- I -- I am so profoundly grateful to have had these last few weeks here with you , I really am , and I would nt give that back . Not for anything . But unfortunately --
Lulu : No , I do nt want to hear this .
Luke : Lulu --
Laura : You know --
Luke : Let your mother have her say .
Lulu : No , I wo nt .
Laura : Go after her .
Nikolas : Your recovery is nt permanent , is it ?
Lulu : It s not true . Mom can take more of that drug .
Luke : It would nt keep her with us .
Lulu : You re not surprised . Which means that you -- have you known that it was going to end up like this all along ?
Carly : You know , I should nt have jumped all over Sonny like that . I lost perspective . Jason s not dead . I mean , if he were dead , I would know it , you know ? I would feel it in here -- that s why they have nt found his body yet . We re each other s best friend , and Jason knows I count on him . And he knows that he ca nt leave me because he ca nt leave me , so he s fine . He s totally fine . No , you ca nt do that . You ca nt -- you ca nt do that , Jax , because I have to feel this . I have to feel this . I have to listen to my heart and figure out what s going on here . Because if I have lost Jason , that means that I -- um --
Jax : Hey --
Carly : I mean , I do nt know what I m going to do if I lost Jason . You know ?
Jax : Ok .
Det . Rodriguez : You realize that was murder ? I thought we were supposed to be better than they are .
Ric : What are you yammering on about , Rodriguez ?
Det . Rodriguez : You ordered those officers to fire on an unarmed man .
Ric : Jason Morgan was a cold - blooded hit man who deserved what he got . If you re feeling the urge to shoot your mouth off --
Sonny : Detective Rodriguez ?
Ric : I would suggest you do it outside --
Sonny : You re a man of integrity , I respect you for that . That s why I m going to ask you to leave me alone here with my -- with my brother . And forget you ever saw me .
Ric : It s ok , detective . You can leave . My brother s not going to hurt me . Look , you want to go ahead and make threats , make threats . But what I told Rodriguez about Jason is true and we both know it .
Sonny : You know how many times Jason begged me to let him kill you , starting when you chained Carly to a wall when she was pregnant with our son because you wanted to steal our baby , up until you slept with Sam ? And you know why I let you live ? I ll tell you why I let you live . One reason , and one reason only . Because you re my mother s son . Now Jason is dead . He was my real brother , and you had him killed . That takes all bets off the table .
Ric : You re not going to do it , Sonny . There s no way you can kill me .
Lorenzo : Why ? Why ? Oh , why ? I swear to you , Diego . No matter what it takes , or who has to pay , I will spend my last dying breath seeking revenge for you .
Mac : We need to take Sam into custody .
Alexis : Kristina s in a state of shock . If you take her away from Sam , it could make her worse .
Mac : Look , I m sorry . She s an escaped prisoner who just shot and killed a man .
Alexis : It was self - defense .
Mac : Argue that before a judge . We have to take her in .
Alexis : I have to take Kristina .
Sam : Ok .
Alex : Come here , sweetie , it s ok . Come to Mommy .
Mac : Ok , sweetheart , go to Mommy . It s ok .
Sam : It s ok , baby . Mommy s going to take care of you .
Officer : You can go to Mommy now . Come on , now . There you go . Come on , there you go .
Alexis : Oh , that s a girl . That s a girl . It s going to be all right , let s go .
Jason : Elizabeth --
Elizabeth : Jason ? Oh , my God , are you hit ? Hey , can you hear me ? Please do nt die , ok ? Please do nt die . You have to stay with me -- for the baby s sake . It s not Lucky s , Jason . The baby is ours .
Lulu : How could you keep it a secret ? I ll lose you again ! I do nt want to lose you again !
Laura : Shh .
Jason : No cops , please .
Elizabeth : You ve been shot . I have to call 911 .
Jason : We can do this . I trust you .

Bill : I m gon na check on your sister .
Katie : Oh , right . She s doing another Catwalk show today .
Bill : Mm - hmm . Hope everything s going well .
Katie : Well , with Donna as host and Justin as producer , what could go wrong ?
Brio : Working with you and your sisters was such a pleasure . You made my job easy . And the outcome speaks for itself . It was one of the finest fashion campaigns I ve ever been involved in . I could go on about that for another half - hour .
Donna : Well , that would be fascinating . But unfortunately , we are out of time . So I - I just want to thank you so much for coming , Brio . You have been lovely . More surprises tomorrow , so please join us again on The Catwalk .
Man : And we re clear .
Justin : Brio , thank you ...
Brio : Thank you .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : So much . I appreciate it . Nice job .
Donna : Oh , God , that was so boring .
Justin : You did your best .
Donna : ( Groans )
Marcus : No , Mom s right . I mean , look . Brio s cool and all , but she s not no Pam Douglas . ( Cell phone rings )
Justin : ( Chuckles )
Marcus : Excuse me .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Marcus : Oh , I got to call the job .
Justin : Okay . ( Ring )
Marcus : I ll be back in a little bit .
Justin : All right .
Marcus : Bye , Mom .
Donna : It was horrible . It was -- it - it - it was flat as a pancake . Did you see the audience yawning ?
Justin : You were totally charming . That s what our viewers are tuning in to see .
Donna : What , me falling flat on my face ?
Justin : You did nt fall flat on your face . Would you give yourself credit ? This is only your second show .
Donna : You re sweet .
Justin : I m objective . Well , sort of . ( Chuckles )
Donna : ( Chuckles ) ( Sighs )
Justin : Yes ?
Donna : Okay .
Eric : Donna ?
Donna : Eric , hi .
Eric : Hey . Uh , Justin , hello .
Justin : How are you ?
Eric : What are you doing here ?
Donna : Oh , I - I did nt tell you ? Um , well , Justin is my executive producer .
Eric : No , no . You , uh , you did nt tell me that .
Donna : Oh , I - I m sorry . ( Laughs ) He was just giving me a pep talk .
Eric : Huh .
Donna : But I still think the show was dull , dull , dull .
Justin : Oh , nonsense . You were brilliant .
Eric : Uh , wait . Let me get this straight . So it was your idea to hire Donna for the show ?
Justin : Yeah . One of my better decisions .
Eric : Why did you pick Donna ? I mean , she has no experience with that sort of thing or , uh , or do I even need to ask ?
Taylor : So , um , tell me about the new dynamics happening over here at Forrester .
Thomas : Oh , you mean Forrester Creations , a division of Spencer Publications ?
Steffy : Oh , they ought to name it Logan Creations . Katie s C.E.O. Brooke is president . Donna s vice president . ( Chuckles )
Taylor : ( Sighs ) So you re not telling me that you re being marginalized , I hope .
Steffy : No , but--
Thomas : Mom , it s not our company anymore .
Taylor : No , that s exactly what I m trying to tell you is that I do nt want you to forget that this is your company . This company is your birthright .
Thomas : ( Sighs )
Katie : So what s this I hear about Eric and Ridge ?
Brooke : They wo nt be joining us today .
Katie : Why not ? They re still fighting me . You know , it s awfully hard to be an intermediary between Bill and the Forresters if they do nt even show up and participate .
Katie : What s it gon na take , Brooke ? We need Ridge and Eric . They are the cornerstones of this company .
Brooke : I know . Just put yourself in their shoes . How many years has this office been Eric s ? I mean , just imagine what it must do to him when he comes here and he sees your name up there on that door and not his . And Ridge is really trying to be comfortable working here in this environment , but it s not easy . I really do think he ll come around . It s just gon na take some time .
Thomas : It s not the same working for Katie .
Taylor : Well , I ve always thought , of all the three sisters , she s probably the most reasonable .
Steffy : Oh , well , she s all right , but I wonder how seriously she takes us .
Taylor : Why ? Has she made you feel like she does nt ?
Thomas : Well , that s the problem . She just does nt say anything to us , really .
Taylor : Well , I m sure it s just because she s busy . Uh , she did just become C.E.O. kind of out of the blue .
Thomas : Almost sounds like you re defending her .
Taylor : No , I m not . I m just saying that this is the situation you re dealing with . Katie is the one who s in control , and you ca nt deny it , much less fight it , so I guess what I m trying to say is you need to get in there , both of you get in there and make your mark . You ca nt control who owns the company or -- or who s running it . Just get in there and make your contribution .
Steffy : I have a contribution .
Taylor : What is it ?
Steffy : An idea for the new line .
Thomas : Oh , that reminds me . We re late for the meeting .
Steffy : Oh , my God .
Taylor : Oh . So -- so what meeting is this ?
Steffy : It s a brainstorming session for the campaign , but we got to go .
Taylor : Okay . All right . Hurry . Go make that contribution , both of you . ( Sighs )
Justin : Why would nt I hire Donna ? She s perfect in front of the camera .
Donna : Eric , I - I can do this .
Eric : You re exploiting her , Justin .
Justin : Why would you think that ?
Eric : Do I have to spell this out for you ?
Justin : What exactly is that supposed to mean ?
Eric : You know what it means . You re trying to get close to my wife .
Bill : Hello , everybody . How s it going here on The Catwalk set ? Something going on I should know about ? I sense a little tension amongst the three of you . Show go all right ?
Justin : Just fine .
Bill : Then what s the problem ?
Eric : I do nt want her doing the television show . Come on , honey . Let s go . Come on .
Bill : Uh , wait one second . Hold on .
Eric : ( Sighs )
Bill : Should nt your wife have some say in this ? What s it gon na be , Donna ? Do you want to quit the show ?
Man : Okay , these have to be up there .
Donna : Eric , please do nt make me choose between you and -- and something I ve always wanted to do .
Eric : Donna , I have no objection to you doing a television show , just not this one with these people .
Bill : These people are your people now , Eric . We re on the same team . Used properly , The Catwalk can be a tremendous promotional tool for our company .
Eric : Your company , do nt you mean ?
Justin : Eric , this is a dream come true for Donna . Let s give her that opportunity .
Eric : Look , I think I know my wife better than anyone else here . I think until you planted the seed in her mind , I do nt think she ever gave something like this a second thought .
Bill : Looks like it s in your hands , Donna . What do you want to do ?
Donna : I-- I ve always had this fantasy , Eric , of -- of being on TV .
Justin : You need to support her on this , Eric . We both know this is what she wants .
Eric : Donna s needs are my concern , not yours . This conversation is between the two of us . Excuse us , will you , please ?
Justin : ( Sighs )
Eric : Donna , I hate this . I - I hate that you re here with these two men . I just --I hate this , and I m overreacting , and I m sorry . I m so sorry . It s just that this is a very difficult time for me . And -- and I m overreacting .
Donna : I - I - I know . I -- look , I know you re going through a lot , Eric . I want to help you in this transition at the company . ( Sighs )
Eric : Then let s go away . Just the two of us . What do you say ? Come on . You can help me forget about all this-- this bad stuff that s been happening with us and -- and help me remember what s good in my life , like you , my beautiful wife .
Donna : ( Sighs ) I ca nt . I - I have other responsibilities now , Eric . I m a vice president over at Forrester . I - Ive just been given this amazing opportunity on this show . Justin is right . This is a dream come true for me . It s a dream come true . Help me live it out .
Eric : We ll talk about this more , okay , at home .
Rick : I mean , think about it . Ridge is gon na love this . It ll give him a chance to do something edgy with his designs , strike at the heart of Jackie M. s Indulge campaign .
Thorne : It s the best idea we ve come up with so far .
Katie : ( Sighs ) I do like it , uh , but may not right now . Maybe in the future . We re at a critical transition . I just really think that we need to stick to the classic Forrester tradition .
Thorne : You do have a point .
Katie : All right , come on . We are smart , creative people . We just need a spark of an idea that we can grab onto .
Steffy : Sorry we re late . ( Sighs )
Thomas : Hi .
Brooke : Oh , good . Glad you re here . We could use your help .
Steffy : So where do things stand ?
Thorne : Well , we re still brainstorming .
Steffy : Any interesting ideas or--
Brooke : Well , Rick had one . It was pretty good , but it was a bit premature .
Rick : ( Chuckles ) Thanks . What about you ? Anything ?
Steffy : Yeah , actually , I - I think I have an idea .
Katie : Well , let s hear it .
Steffy : Really ?
Katie : Yeah , of course .
Steffy : Oh , okay . Well , um , you know how the major fashion houses are in Paris , right ? Well , Paris , Milan , New York . We re in Los Angeles , so why do nt we use that to our advantage ?
Brooke : Interesting .
Katie : Go on .
Steffy : Okay , well , why do nt we build our campaign around the glamour of Hollywood ? And the key focus would be anyone can be a star if you re wearing Forrester Creations .
Katie : So are you suggesting that we get actors and actresses to be our models ?
Steffy : No , we already have our own celebrities .
Thorne : Who ?
Steffy : Who else ? The Logan sisters . You guys sold the Royalty line . The public ate it up .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Steffy : But this time , you ll be wearing classic , old Hollywood outfits-- the glamour of Audrey Hepburn and -- and Ava Gardner . Think about it-- the fabulous dresses , the -- the -- the tops , the skirts . Think of what my dad and my grandfather could do with this . So what do you think ?
Thorne : I think the Hollywood theme sounds great .
Rick : Yeah , I bet Dad s gon na love it .
Katie : What do you think , Brooke ?
Brooke : Well , do nt get me wrong . I m crazy about it . But do nt you think we should use different models ?
Steffy : Nonsense . You d be perfect . You three are the brand .
Brooke : What do you think , Katie ?
Katie : I think it s a great idea . I think it s brilliant .
Steffy : Yes .
Thorne : Nice goin , Steffy .
Steffy : Thank you .
Rick : Excellent . A really nice job .
Steffy : Thanks .
Thorne : So , uh , we going to run with it ?
Katie : Not quite yet . It s just formality . I am C.E.O. , but I want to run things by Bill first .
Thorne : Why ?
Brooke : Thorne .
Katie : I will talk to him today , and we will reconvene . I ll send out an e - mail . Thank you all so much for coming . That will be all .
Steffy : ( Clears throat )
Katie : Steffy , could you stay for a moment ?
Brooke : I am so proud of you .
Steffy : Thank you . ( Chuckles )
Katie : It was a wonderful contribution . Thank you so much .
Steffy : No , thank -- thank you .
Katie : I will mention your name to Bill , and I really think you should be the point person on this .
Steffy : Uh , yeah .
Brooke : Steffy , is something the matter ?
Katie : Listen , I know how loyal you are to your dad and to your grandfather . And I know they re having trouble with this transition , but if your ideas make this a better company , if you make us stronger , then you re honoring them . And you re giving them a wonderful concept to work with .
Steffy : I hope so . I really hope so .
Brooke : You ve done something else , too . You ve brought the Forresters and the Logans together to achieve great things . And your idea-- that will be a great thing .
Katie : You re helping to unite us . Thank you .
Marcus : Eric ? Hey , is , uh , is everything okay ?
Eric : No , everything is not okay . Look , I know that Justin is your biological father , but , uh , I do nt like how he engineered this whole TV show thing with your mother . He still has an agenda with Donna . And I do nt think he can be trusted around her .
Justin : So how did it go with Eric ?
Donna : He really wants me to quit . ( Sighs )
Justin : I hope you told him you refuse .
Donna : Look , I dont-- I do nt want to upset him . I -- he just lost his company . He s -- he s in a bad place .
Justin : He did nt lose his company . He sold his company at a very good price with a work guarantee for him and his entire family for the rest of their lives . And now this new opportunity comes to you . ( Laughs ) Hope you do nt let it pass you by because your husband has issues .
Donna : Look , I - I-- I want to be loyal to him , okay ? He has given me so much .
Justin : If he loves you , he ll give you this , too , despite what Eric was saying . I see it every minute you step on this set . You re good at this . How s it feel to be doing something that you re good at ?
Donna : ( Laughs ) It s good .
Justin : ( Laughs )
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : A whole new door has opened up for you , Donna .
Justin : Take my hand and walk through it . ( Sighs ) God , you are so beautiful .
Donna : Uh ... ( Sighs )
Justin : I know you re committed to your husband . He s a good man . He s been good to you . And you are as loyal as they come , which is the reason you did nt tell me you were pregnant with Marcus . You did nt want to ruin my life while I went off to college , but you know that if you would have told me we were having a child , I would have been there for you , Donna . I loved you , and you loved me .
Donna : Stop it . You -- we cant--
Justin : What ?
Donna : We ca nt talk like this , Justin .
Justin : Why ? Why ca nt we talk like this ? Why ? Because it s the truth ? We have an amazing son that both of us love . It would be so easy for us just to pick right up where we left off .
Donna : No . Do nt .
Justin : You know , I m having a - a difficult time . I m trying to accept your marriage . Eric is rich , and he loves you . He s really given you a good life . But it is nt enough . And you know it is nt . If it were nt for fate and circumstances , we would still be together . Tell me that you do nt believe that .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : You ca nt , because you feel exactly the same way that I do . You feel the fire .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : You feel the passion . Look , Donna , you have needs , and they are not being met . And , well , I may not be able to give you what Eric has , but one thing s for sure . I can definitely fulfill your needs .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : Donna .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : Come back to me .
Donna : ( Sighs )
Justin : Let me quench that desire that s inside of you . Look , baby , I love you . I ... want ... you . Would you come back to me ?

### Dialogue:
John : Tried to split without me ? Come on , Manning . Start the damn car . Manning , snap out of it .
John : Manning .
Langston : Why is nt she at St. Ann s ?
Tess : Oh , did nt you get the memo ? Daddy changed his mind .
Langston : What is she talking about ?
Tess : He decided his wife is nt crazy after all .
Langston : I do nt believe you .
Tess : Tell her . I am staying right here .
Langston : What happened ? Was there some sort of delay or something ? Ford , talk to me .
Ford : She s not going to St. Ann s .
Langston : But if you do nt have her committed ... you re not planning on staying married to her , are you ?
Ford : I do nt have a choice .
Dorian : Charlie , you better be doing the right thing .
Viki : Dorian ? What are you doing in my house ? Why are you here ?
Dorian : All right , with everything that is going on , I just had to check on you and make sure you were all right .
Viki : Oh . Oh , well , thank you . That s very nice . What were you just saying about the right thing ?
Dorian : I ran into Charlie a few minutes ago and ... we had it out .
Viki : Had it out ?
Dorian : Mm - hmm .
Viki : About what ?
Echo : You said you came here to end this . Was that a good - bye kiss ?
Dani : Oh , my God . I thought you were Dad .
Téa : You have to stop avoiding him , Dani .
Dani : Mom , can you blame me ? He went absolutely nuts on us up at the cabin .
Téa : You know your father .
Dani : It does nt mean I have to like it . Mom , why is he acting like this ?
Téa : You re never gon na figure it out avoiding him . You re gon na have to face him sometime , Dani .
Dani : Maybe not .
Jay : It s a common skin condition of infancy .
Natalie : Yeah . I just thought maybe he had the measles or something . His face got so red .
Jay : That s caused by the exposure to the mother s hormones during pregnancy . Some kids have a reaction . Most do nt .
Brody : Okay , so it s nothing to worry about ?
Jay : Oh , it ll be gone before you know it .
Natalie : So in other words , I totally wasted your time .
Jay : No , not at all . Sometimes a rash can indicate something more serious , so I m glad you brought him in .
Natalie : Thank you so much , Dr. Gangemi .
Jay : Sure . No problem .
Natalie : Oh , boy . Yeah , he s asleep .
Brody : We did the right thing . You heard the doctor .
Natalie : Yeah . Listen , thank you . Thank you for driving us over here . I think I would ve been a basket case if I had to do this by myself .
Brody : I wanted to be here . I know what you re thinking . It should ve been John .
Natalie : Well , it s not . He s not . It s starting to look like he never will be . So I guess you re the only father that Liam has now .
Langston : Of course you have a choice . The only choice there is . Tess is nt stable .
Tess : Oh , I m sorry . Are you a doctor ?
Ford : Hey .
Tess : Oh , I did nt think so .
Langston : Okay , what happened ? You just called the hospital and told them not to come ?
Tess : Oh , no . They came . The guys in the white coats -- they came . One of them was actually really hot . I kind of ...
Langston : I m not talking to you . Tell me what happened .
Ford : I could nt go through with it .
Langston : Why not ?
Ford : Putting Tess away would only be a temporary fix . In the end it would nt have gotten me what I wanted .
Langston : I thought you wanted me .
Tess : Oh , snap .
Ford : Would you shut up ? Of course I want you . I want you and I want my son .
Langston : And if she comes with the package , what ? That s just too bad ?
Dorian : I m sorry , but with the way that Charlie s been behaving , I just felt I had to take a stand .
Viki : On what ?
Dorian : Well , with everything that is going on , I wanted to find out why he has nt been at your side , where he is supposed to be .
Viki : Look , Dorian , frankly , I have nt made that very easy for him , okay ? I ve been off dealing with Clint and the lawyers and all this business about Jessica s baby .
Dorian : He s your husband . He s supposed to be supporting you .
Viki : I know , but you know , he s got his own problems . Finding out Rex was not his son was an awful blow to him . And frankly , I do nt want to burden him with my own family drama .
Dorian : Burden him ? As I said , he s your husband , for better , for worse , richer for poorer . You know what just occurred to me ? That maybe Charlie wants to feel needed .
Charlie : When I was kissing you , I think it s safe to say that good - bye was the last thing on my mind .
Echo : Me , too . But then you said that Dorian gave you an ultimatum . That you were supposed to break things off with me or she was going to tell Viki about the one night we had together . And she ll do it , too , you know . She lives for that kind of thing .
Charlie : Yeah , I know . And I hate giving Dorian that kind of control over my life .
Echo : There is another option .
Charlie : What s that ?
Echo : Leave your wife .
Dani : What if I stay in my room for the rest of my life ? Yeah , then daddy s little girl never goes anywhere . I ll never see anyone . And most important , I ll never have sex . Yeah . Problem solved .
Téa : I think we can come up with a better solution than that .
Dani : Mom , Dad scared me . Really . Do you get that ?
Téa : I do , and I made it clear to him that his behavior was unacceptable . I did nt pull any punches , Dani . We had a big fight .
Dani : Did you work things out ?
Téa : We came to an understanding .
Dani : Can you promise that it ll stop him from waving a gun around again ?
Téa : It was a cap gun , Dani .
Dani : Mom , it freaked us out . Especially Nate . Oh , my -- he s so mad at Dad for scaring us like that . Like , mad enough to try to get back at him somehow . And I do nt blame him .
Brody : Gigi , what s up ? Are you okay ? Yeah , sure . Are you there right now ? Right , yeah . Thanks for letting me know .
Natalie : What s wrong ?
Brody : Gigi s at the police station .
Natalie : Did something happen to Rex ?
Brody : No , no , not Rex . She was in the parking lot at Rodi s and there was some kind of an incident .
Natalie : What kind of incident ?
Brody : They sent two units over , so we wo nt know more until they report back .
Natalie : Tell me what s going on .
Brody : All Gigi knows is that shots were being fired at Todd Manning and John .
Natalie : What ? John ? Is he okay ?
John : Son of a bitch .
Viki : Dorian , I think you ve got a point . I mean , I ve been trying to shield Charlie , so he probably does feel that I m excluding him . The way he excluded me when he found out about Rex and went off by himself .
Dorian : I suggest you not make it so easy for him to shut down and shut you out this time .
Viki : He did nt turn to drinking then , so he probably wo nt go to alcohol this time , either .
Dorian : He s an alcoholic . There are other things he can turn to besides alcohol .
Charlie : Echo , you--
Echo : You do nt have to say it . I know that you re not about to leave Viki .
Charlie : Viki is going through hell right now , what with Natalie s relationship in pieces and Jessica completely taken over by this other personality .
Echo : Well , I do nt know a lot about that illness .
Charlie : Most people do nt , but Viki understands it all too well . She has been exactly where Jessica is right now .
Echo : Yeah , but she seems like she s so put together .
Charlie : Yeah , I know , but if Viki gets hit with more than she can handle ...
Echo : You re worried she could relapse ?
Charlie : All I m saying is that if she finds out , on top of everything else , that you and I were together ...
Echo : I know . That s what Dorian said , too , but I do nt think she knows just how strong Viki is .
Charlie : Jessica s pretty strong , too , but there s just so much a person can take . And this time ... I think that Viki must be terrified that we ll lose her for good .
Tess : Relax , little drama queen . It s okay . You re not gon na be cut off .
Langston : What ?
Tess : I am very open - minded . I can share . If my husband gets tired of filet mignon and wants to nibble on a little bit of hamburger ...
Ford : Hey , do nt you have somewhere to go ? Do nt you have something to do ?
Tess : Yes . Actually , I do . I m gon na leave you here with little miss whiny and I m gon na go shopping . I need to get some things for my new wardrobe .
Langston : What store would even be open right now ?
Tess : There s always somewhere open for me .
Langston : I believed you . I believed you were gon na have Tess committed .
Ford : I was , and then the people from St. Ann s , they showed up but something happened .
Langston : I do nt care what happened . I care how long you plan on being married to her . A month ? A year ? Two ?
Ford : No , Langston , no , stop ! You want the honest answer ? I do nt know .
Téa : Your father just does nt want you to grow up , Dani . He equates that with losing you .
Dani : I ll still be his daughter .
Téa : I know how he feels . Sometimes I feel the same way with myself .
Dani : Mom , it s not like I m running off and getting married .
Téa : No , not yet .
Dani : I love you . That does nt just stop if I fall in love with someone else .
Téa : I know , I know , and I have to make Todd try to understand that , but with everything that happened with me this year , he s a little-- he s a little overprotective , you know ?
Dani : Yeah . And I guess with all his history ...
Téa : He just wants you to be safe . Lately , I ve felt like he has something on his mind .
Dani : Like what ? What do you mean ?
Téa : I do nt know . It s probably nothing . You know how your dad is . He likes to worry about nothing , so ...
Dani : Yeah . Tell me about it .
Téa : The three of us just got back together as a family . He wants that to last . It does nt help that my brother just blew back into town .
Dani : Yeah . What ? What ?
Téa : Yeah . I ve been looking for the right time to tell you . My brother just blew back into town .
Dani : Tomás ? Tomás is here ? You thought you d never see him again .
Téa : Well , I guess I was wrong .
Tomás : Téa .
Téa : Speak of the devil . In here .
Tomás : Hey .
Téa : Hey . Where have you been ?
Brody : As soon as you know anything . Thanks . I do nt know any more than I did before . The department s still getting the details .
Natalie : God , please let John be okay . Please let him be okay .
Jay : What ve we got ?
EMT : GSW . Most of his blood volume s back at the scene .
Second EMT : We got a line in ...
Natalie : Excuse me . Excuse me . There was another person on the scene . Do you know if he s okay ? Please ?
EMT : ... Stats are 100 % on a non - rebreather .
Natalie : How do we find out if John s okay ?
Brody : John can take care of himself .
Natalie : No , no , not lately . Lately he s been drinking heavily and he s been getting into fights .
Brody : Natalie , let s not borrow trouble , okay ?
Brody : What happened ?
John : Someone opened fire on us outside Rodi s .
Brody : You have any idea who ?
John : Manning lost a lot of blood .
Natalie : That could ve been you . I m glad it was nt . I ve had enough scares .
John : What s going on ? Is Liam okay ?
Ford : You know I do nt want to be married to Tess any longer than I have to , okay , but like I said , I did nt have a choice in the matter . My hands are tied here .
Langston : How ?
Ford : I made a deal with the landlord to give me an extension on my rent . Somehow she got to him and now I find out that if I do nt pay everything I owe him by tonight , he s gon na evict me .
Langston : What does this have to do with Tess ?
Ford : If I stay married to her , then I have access to Ryder s trust , and I can pay the rent out of that .
Langston : That s what this is about ? Money ? I could pay your rent .
Ford : I ca nt take your money .
Langston : Oh . So you ca nt take money from me but you can take it from some crazy slut ?
Dorian : This situation with Jessica -- oh , I should say Tess-- is not just gon na go away .
Viki : Well , I know that , do nt I ? Problem is , we ve got to come up with a new strategy to deal with Robert Ford . He was all ready to have her committed . I know he was . I do nt know how , but somehow she talked him out of it .
Dorian : Viki , you have got to involve Charlie in the solution . Otherwise , he s going to go somewhere else where he feels he is needed .
Viki : Echo .
Dorian : That alley cat is just waiting to pounce .
Viki : Yes , I know , and she s trying , but it has nt worked , has it ?
Dorian : How do you know ?
Viki : Because I trust Charlie .
Dorian : I know that . But should you ?
Echo : You should go . You do nt want to keep your wife waiting .
Charlie : Echo , I hate this , okay ? Look , I do nt want to hurt you , but I do nt want to hurt Viki .
Echo : Then do nt .
Charlie : I just want you to know that what happened between us ...
Echo : Happens every day . People are sad , people are lonely , and they fall into bed .
Charlie : No . It was more than that . For me , anyway . Look , this all started because we were -- we thought we were sharing a son . But it grew into something else , and now even though I know that Rex is not mine , I ca nt help feeling that you and I ...
Echo : What ?
Charlie : We re still connected . And maybe if things were different ...
Echo : But they re not . And they ca nt be . So that really was a good - bye kiss , was nt it ?
Tomás : I had some business to take care of . Took longer than I thought . Why would I waste my time talking about business when I ve got this lovely lady here who looks so much like her beautiful mother ? You re Daniella , are nt you ? You have to be .
Dani : Yeah . Nice to meet you .
Tomás : I m your Uncle Tomás . I am so happy to meet you . She is a dead ringer for you at that age .
Téa : Please . Dani is 100 times more beautiful than I ever was .
Tomás : That s probably true .
Dani : Oh ! Actually , people think I m more like my dad .
Téa : Tomás , do nt . Tomás is believing everything he s reading about your father on the internet .
Dani : It s all true .
Téa : Dani ! You ll have to excuse her . She s a little upset with her father .
Dani : I think it s more than a little upset . But dont-- do nt judge my dad by his past . I mean , I did that , but when I finally got to know him ... I realized there s a lot more to him than his mistakes . I mean , when he loves you , he s got your back forever , no matter what . That s why I love him . Do nt you tell him that I said any of this , because I m still mad at him .
Jay : Get some pressure on that wound .
Nurse : BP s 90 over 40 . He s tapping away at 158 .
Jay : Call the blood bank . Tell them we need 40 units of type - O blood stat . Get a type screen on there so we can start matching for a lot more . We need a sono now . We do not have time for a CT .
Nurse : Clearing the O.R. now .
Natalie : Uh , Liam is fine . He just got this rash that showed up out of nowhere , and I panicked . Anyway , Dr. Gangemi said that he s fine , it s just temporary , and not to worry about it .
John : Good . Good .
Brody : They want me at the scene . Can you fill the prescription and get Liam home ?
Natalie : Yeah . Of course .
Brody : Take care .
Natalie : John ... do you have any idea why someone was shooting at Todd ?
John : I m gon na go back to the scene , see what I can pick up .
Natalie : I thought you were off duty . I mean , I heard that you took some time off .
John : I guess the vacation is over .
Natalie : I m glad . I m glad that you re okay because when I heard about the shooting , my heart stopped , kind of like yours when you thought Liam was sick . I know that you probably do nt want to hear this , but no matter what s happened , I still love you , and no matter what happens from here on out , I always will .
Ford : The money from that trust is nt Tess . It s Ryder s . It s my responsibility to make sure that he has a safe place to live . I can only use the money for things that help him . I ca nt make that your responsibility .
Langston : But I have the money .
Ford : No , no . Dorian has the money , and do you know how much she would flip out if she found out you were trying to support me and my kid ?
Langston : But if it ties you to Tess forever--
Ford : It s not gon na be forever . I have to be smart . Gosh , it s like everybody wants a piece of him . He s not some commodity , you know ?
Langston : Who s treating him like one ?
Ford : Clint Buchanan , Viki Banks . Look . They had these papers drawn up saying that they have the sole right to-- the sole right to parent my son , and I m supposed to settle for visitation .
Langston : Yeah , but this could work . I mean , Viki is a great person , and she s Jessica s mother . Why should nt she raise her grandchild until--
Ford : Until what , until Jessica gets better ?
Langston : Yeah .
Ford : Because if Jessica gets better , then she and Brody are gon na raise this child by themselves like they ve always planned . Where does that leave me ? Nowhere .
Langston : You do nt know that .
Ford : Jessica does nt want me anywhere near her son , and her and her father are gon na have me back in court in a heartbeat fighting for the right to say that I even exist .
Langston : Okay . You have been listening to Tess .
Ford : No . No . I ve been facing facts , okay , and that s why I did nt take this generous offer . Do you understand ?
Langston : Yeah , without even asking me .
Ford : It was take it or leave it . They were nt gon na give me time to think it over .
Langston : So much for how important I am to you . I thought that there was nt gon na be any decision made without me .
Ford : Langston , if you just try to listen to what--
Langston : I have tried . I ca nt .
Charlie : You make it sound so final .
Echo : Good - byes usually are , Chuckles .
Charlie : But it s not like we re never gon na see each other again .
Echo : I ll make sure that we do nt . When I want to see Rex and Shane , I ll make sure I take the long way around so I do nt have to pass the house .
Charlie : Echo , that seems--
Echo : What ? What ? I m sorry , Charlie . I m sorry . I m sorry , but this is the way it has to be , okay , because every time I look at your face , I m gon na think about that one night we had together . It was the best night of my life , and it ll never happen again , and I ca nt just pretend . I ca nt do it . I ca nt just smile and make small talk , and you should nt ask me to .
Charlie : I m sorry .
Echo : Me , too . You really should go . You should go and tell Dorian what she needs to hear .
Viki : Well , of course I should trust Charlie . Why do you keep insinuating that I should nt believe in Charlie ?
Dorian : I d better be going , and Charlie will be home soon .
Viki : Home from where ?
Dorian : Well , if you must know , he s gone--
Viki : Excuse me . Hang on one second .
Dorian : Fine .
Viki : Oh . Natalie . Hi , darling . Where are you ?
Natalie : I m at the hospital . I thought somebody was gon na call you .
Viki : Who ? Oh , my God . Oh , my God . Okay . I ll be right there .
Dorian : What is it ?
Viki : It s Todd .
Natalie : Mom , I will wait for you here at the hospital , okay , but no one is telling me anything . I do nt know what s going on . Mom , I think maybe you should hurry .
Téa : Have you had dinner yet ? Dani and I were just gon na have some .
Tomás : Aw , thanks . The truth is , I m not feeling that great . I think maybe I should head upstairs to bed .
Téa : You look a little pale . Are you coming down with something ?
Tomás : Eh , I m sure I ll be fine . I just need to get a good night s rest .
Téa : Okay .
Tomás : Will I see you at breakfast ?
Dani : Yeah . Sure .
Tomás : Great . Look forward to it .
Téa : Viki , is everything okay ?
Viki : Téa , honey , I m sorry . I have bad news .
Téa : Has something happened to Todd ? Be right there . Todd has been shot .
Dani : What ? What ? He s been shot ?
Tomás : Is it serious ?
Téa : He s on the way to the emergency room . That s all Viki said .
Dani : I m coming with you .
Brody : You ve searched the area ?
Cop : There are tire tracks . Someone laid down some rubber . That s it .
John : Do a floor search in that area . The shooter might have dropped something .
Brody : John , John , can I just say one thing ? Look . The only reason I was at the hospital with Natalie is because there was no one else . I do nt want you to think that--
John : We re investigating a shooting , officer . The only thing needs to be discussed is what s relevant to the case .
Brody : Whatever you say , Lieutenant .
John : Shots came from over there .
Brody : Sniper fire .
John : This guy was a pro .
Tomás : Call me . We need to talk about what just happened .
Ford : This is the kind of decision that I used to run away from , but you changed all that .
Langston : Me ?
Ford : Yeah . You showed me that I needed to take responsibility for my actions , and that s what I m trying to do right now for my son .
Langston : Your son , not mine .
Ford : I m sorry . I thought that you wanted to be a part of Ryder s life .
Langston : I thought that you wanted the two of us to be together , but now there s a baby . Yeah . It was exciting at first , but that is so huge , Ford . I m not ready to be a mother .
Ford : Well , I m not asking you to be this child s mother .
Langston : Just look at it from my perspective for just two seconds , okay ? Just a few weeks ago , we were supposed to have this great , big night together . It was gon na be our first time together as a real couple ...
Ford : Yeah . I remember .
Langston : And now what ? It s like I did nt even get a chance to be your girlfriend , and now I m supposed to be your mistress .
Ford : No , Langston . That s the last thing I want . Come on .
Langston : But as long as you stay married to Tess , that s all I will be , and I ca nt do that .
Ford : So what are you saying ?

Charlie : Dorian .
Dorian : Oh , good . You re back . Did you do it ?
Charlie : Yes . It s over . I told Echo I would nt see her again .
Dorian : Good , because now Viki needs you more than ever .
Charlie : Okay . I did it , all right ? You got what you wanted . Now get the hell out of my house .
Dorian : Gladly . Hmph .
Tess : Charlie , you naughty boy , where are you going ?
Viki : Is there any word , honey ?
Téa : Where is he ?
Viki : I do nt know . I just got here .
Natalie : He s in there . Dr. Gangemi is not letting anyone in there .
Viki : I did nt realize you had the baby with you .
Natalie : Yeah . Liam , he got a rash . I just panicked . He s fine . He s fine . It s nothing . Nothing to worry about .
Viki : Oh , my darling , I m so sorry . Are you here all alone ?
Natalie : Yeah . Yeah . I am now .
Nurse : Pressure dropping .
Dani : Oh , my God , there s so much blood , Mom . There s so much blood , Mom .
Téa : How did this happen ?
Jay : You ca nt be in here .
Téa : I want to know who this happened . Tell me how this happened .
Jay : Please leave now . Please .
Téa : What happened ? I want to know what happened !
Natalie : Somebody started shooting at John and Todd in the Rodi s parking lot .
Viki : John ?
Natalie : Yeah . He was nt hit , thank God .
Viki : Did they tell you anything ?
Téa : No . No . No . They just made us leave .
Viki : Well , come sit down . We ll know something soon , I m sure . I m sure .
Natalie : You know what ? I think I m gon na get Liam home .
Viki : Sweetheart , you do nt have your car , do you ?
Natalie : It s okay . I ll get a cab .
Viki : No . I do nt think you should be home alone with the baby , Natalie .
Téa : Viki , go home with Natalie . We ll let you know if we hear anything , okay ?
Natalie : Mom , stay . It s fine . I m fine . We re fine .
Téa : Viki , listen to me . There s nothing you can do here . We have each other . We ll be fine , all right ?
Viki : Okay . Listen . You call me if there s any news at all , okay ?
Téa : Of course .
Viki : All right . Sweetheart , he s gon na be fine .
Dani : I hope so .
Viki : He will .
Natalie : Todd is tough . If anyone can make it , he can .
Téa : Thank you .
Viki : If you need me , I will come right back , okay ?
Téa : Okay .
Viki : Let s go , Natalie .
Natalie : Okay .
Téa : You okay ?
Dani : No . I want to know who did this , and I want to know why .
Téa : So do I.
Brody : So the shooter would have been positioned where you are right now .
John : He must ve been following Manning for a while . He knew he was at Rodi s , knew he was coming out this way .
Brody : You never saw a face , right ?
John : No . All I know is , the shots were coming from this window . I was firing blind .
Brody : Then you got Manning out of the car .
John : I do nt know . I unloaded my extra clip . Shots just stopped .
Brody : I think I know why . Look at this . Looks like one of yours .
John : Probably . Look at this . Looks like one of my bullets might have found a home .
Tomás : Ah ... whew . Ahh .
Ford : Wait . Wait a second . So wait . That s it ? We just stop trying ?
Langston : I know you want to be with me , but you also want your baby , and there s just no way that we can make that work .
Ford : You make it sound like I m choosing Ryder over you , and that s not what s happening right now .
Langston : This is nt about what s happening right now , Ford . This is about something that happened a long time ago when you left your little brother with someone who was hurting him , and you ve never been able to forgive yourself for that .
Ford : Would you ?
Langston : I understand why you ca nt get past that , but if you need Tess to be in your life , there s no place for me .
Ford : Langston , that s not true .
Langston : You have Ryder , and he s a beautiful baby , and you love him , and you should . I wish you the best . I really do .
Ford : Wait , Langston . Wait a second .
Langston : Is there anything left to say that we have nt already said ? I did nt think so .
Natalie : Oh , thanks . Mom , I really should nt have let you take us home .
Viki : You know , darling , I have a feeling that Téa and Danielle wanted to have a little time alone . Besides , my first responsibility is to my own daughter . I do nt care how grown - up she is .
Natalie : Thank you . Ha ha ! I do feel a lot more secure when you re here . Oh , Liam , mama has not got a hang of the whole mama thing yet , but just bear with me , okay ? I guess I should go get him fed and put him down .
Viki : I ll be up in a minute .
Natalie : Okay . Come on , honey . Ooh .
Echo : Why did you come back ?
Charlie : I told Dorian that it was over between us .
Echo : I figured . So you did nt have to--
Charlie : I also told her that I would never see you again . So ... I guess ... I lied .
Viki : Where on earth did this come from ?
Charlie : Oh , I ca nt . Echo , I ca nt . I ca nt just let you go .
Echo : Okay . What do we do now ?
Charlie : We ll figure something out . All I know is , I wo nt stay away from you .
John : Need to get this room swept and dusted .
Brody : Put in the order . If our guy is a pro , he s done this before . He s not gon na be in the system .
Tomás : What took you so long ? What happened out there was a disaster . No . I do nt know anything about Manning s condition .
Téa : Honey , honey , that s not important right now , okay ?
Dani : Dad thinks I hate him . He thinks I hate him . The last thing we did was fight . Mom , I told him . I told him that I hated him .
Téa : Honey , everyone says things they do nt really mean sometimes , okay ? Your dad knows that you love him . That s part of what s gon na get him through this , okay ?
Dani : I think so .
Téa : Yeah . I know so , okay , and pretty soon , you re gon na be able to tell him yourself , okay ? Okay . Okay .
Jay : He s gone now . We lost him . Pulse . Come on . Come on .
Starr : Mom ? What s going on ?
Blair : It s about your father .
Tomás : I have to know if Todd is gon na live or die .
Jay : We re losing him .
Dani : Please save my dad .
Nigel : I just came to say good - bye .
Rex : Oh , my God .
### Summary:
| John can not figure out who would be shooting at him and at Todd or why . Todd gets rushed to the hospital . John is also there and acts out of obligation when he finds out that Natalie and Brody have taken baby Liam to the hospital afraid he was sick . They both protest to him that they are not doing anything behind his back and that Natalie loves him . But he is completely cold and business like to both of them . Dorian stays at Viki s home waiting for Charlie to return back from telling Echo he will never see him again or else she ( Dorian ) will tell Viki what Charlie and Echo have been doing behind her back . Charlie tells Echo that he has to be there for Viki and for Jessica . Meanwhile , Dorian attempts to tell Viki she has to work on her marriage and know that Charlie is there for her . However , she does tell Viki she knows there may be something going on in that Charlie needs to be needed when Viki is not asking him for emotional support the way Echo is . And goes back to see Echo and confirms to her that he told Dorian he d break it off with her so Dorian would leave him alone . But he lied . And he kisses Echo . Tess appears outside the door and watches them unseen . Tess affirms to Langston that she is not going anywhere yet will share Robert with his inferior teenage mistress . Robert protests to Langston that he has no choice except to stay married to Tess . Otherwise , he will be broke . His baby will be taken from him . And he realized that Tess might be correct that if Jessica comes back , Brody and Clint will convince her and Viki to disregard him and never let him see the baby again . So he has to do what Tess wants in order not to lose his child . But she tells him that it s unacceptable for him not to trust her and expect her to be his mistress and it s over . After Todd has been shot , Tea and Dani rush to be with him . Dani meets her uncle Tomas for the first time and affirms to him that she loves her father . Alone in the house , Tomas appears suspicious when we see he s bleeding from a gunshot wound that looks like it might have come from John in the shoot out and he has a phone conversation that reveals he might know all about Todd being shot and had something to do with it . |

### Dialogue:
Ridge : You re worried about me ? Come on , Mother .
Stephanie : Well , it s all over the street about your Dare campaign . I - I think I know what you were up to . I m sorry it did nt work .
Ridge : Yeah , we took one hell of a chance with that , but we came so close .
Stephanie : What s your next idea ?
Ridge : I do nt really know , but we are gon na get this company back . It s the only reason I stayed on here , that and my kids .
Stephanie : And how are they ?
Ridge : Thomas is working his tail off , and Steffy , uh ...
Stephanie : And Steffy ?
Ridge : She s gon na start a new P.R. campaign ...
Stephanie : Ah .
Ridge : To replace the Dare line .
Stephanie : Mm - hmm .
Ridge : She really needs this . She s been going through kind of a rough time lately .
Steffy : And so I present to you ... Hollywood glamour-- the after party .
Katie : Interesting . So you want to stick with the same concept .
Steffy : Not exactly , but yes , it s a -- it s a version of Hollywood Glamour , which was very successful for us .
Brooke : Sounds like it could be cost - effective .
Steffy : And it ll give us a quick turnaround .
Katie : Which we need , since we wasted so much time and money on the Dare line .
Steffy : Well , we already have the Hollywood Glamour template . Let s -- let s use it and take it in a whole new direction . The premieres , the toasts-- we ve covered that . It s time for the after party where the glamour really begins . ( Door opens )
Hope : Hey , guys . Sorry I m late .
Katie : Oh , that s okay . Come on in , Hope . I asked hope to join us .
Steffy : What s all that ?
Hope : Oh , just something I threw together .
Katie : We can talk about that after your presentation . Uh , would you like to continue , Steffy ?
Steffy : Yeah , right . Uh , yeah . ( Clears throat )
Whip : Well , hey , Coz . Uh , Bridget and Nick are in a meeting , but they should nt be too long .
Sandy : That s okay . I did nt come to see them . Um , I came to see you .
Whip : Well , well , come in . Come in . ( Laughs ) What , uh ... what can I do for you ?
Sandy : You can start by forgiving me . I ve treated you really badly , Whip . I m really pretty ashamed of myself .
Whip : Well , do nt be . Youve -- youve been going through something .
Sandy : Yeah , but to take it out on you , of all people--
Whip : Hey , what good are cousins if you ca nt give them a little grief now and then , right ?
Sandy : ( Laughs )
Whip : So ... how are you ?
Sandy : I m good . I m better .
Whip : Yeah ?
Sandy : I m much better .
Whip : Good . Yeah , you seem to be . I m glad .
Sandy : Whip , I want to talk to you about what happened , about why Ive -- Ive been so distant with you .
Whip : I ve been worried about you , Aggie .
Whip : This has to do with a guy , does nt it ?
Sandy : Yeah . Yeah . This definitely has to do with a guy .
Man : Um , ex - excuse me .
Madison : Wow . I mean , yes ?
Man : Um , I m here to meet with Steffy Forrester .
Madison : Oh , right . Graham Darros , right ?
Graham : Yeah . Yeah , that s me .
Madison : Steffy s in a meeting right now , but she will let me know when she s ready for you .
Graham : Okay . Thanks .
Madison : Hi , Taylor .
Taylor : Is Steffy in her presentation ?
Madison : Yeah . She was really excited .
Taylor : Oh , I hope it goes well .
Graham : Excuse me . Are you a friend of Steffy s ?
Taylor : I m her mother .
Graham : You re kidding . What , did you have her when you were 12 ?
Taylor : Who is this guy ? I like him already , and I do nt even know his name . I m -- I m Taylor .
Graham : Taylor , I m Graham . Nice to meet you .
Steffy : And if we hurry , we can introduce the line at the height of Hollywood party season . Imagine it-- the whole world focused on the Oscars , the stars and what they re wearing as we re rolling out the After Party line . Hundreds of millions of people watch the Oscars and the after parties , and what are they looking at ? Fashion . And I ll make sure our designs are front and center .
Donna : It s very impressive .
Brooke : You ve turned this around quickly . ( Sighs ) Nice job .
Steffy : Thank you .
Katie : Yes , really , good work . But I do have one question-- in our last collection , the Hollywood Glamour line , we had cocktail dresses , so how does this differ from what we ve just done ?
Sandy : It was the -- the night that I had my head shots done at the party after .
Whip : Five years or so ago . Yeah , I was there .
Sandy : And then you left .
Whip : Something happened after I left ?
Sandy : I was given a drink , um ... tequila , I think . It was drugged . And -- and when I woke up a lot of hours later ... I was really messed up . ( Inhales sharply )
Whip : Who , Aggie ?
Sandy : ( Sniffles ) I do nt know . I do nt know . ( Laughs ) I went to the hospital , and they took D.N.A. tests , and the police were brought in .
Whip : Just tell me that they caught him , okay ?
Sandy : ( Sniffles )
Whip : Tell me-- tell me they caught the guy .
Sandy : No . He s still out there somewhere .
Stephanie : I think about Eric and you and your brother and your sister working so hard to make this company a success , and I m really worried that your children are not going to get their due .
Ridge : My kids have always believed that there s a legacy here at Forrester for them .
Stephanie : Well , there should be , and there would be if it were nt for the Logan girls .
Ridge : All right , please tell me you re not here to beat up Brooke and her sisters .
Stephanie : I m not here to beat up anybody . I m here to support you , but you ve got to face the reality . The three of them are running the company . You ca nt deny that .
Ridge : That s gon na change .
Stephanie : Oh , really ? Before or after they bring the rest of the clan over and take the business over completely ?
Katie : I mean , do you understand what I m saying ? As prepared as you are , this seems a little like a retread .
Steffy : Hollywood Glamour was a retro look at classic Hollywood fashion . But the After Party is -- is a piping hot modern collection of dresses designed for the youth market that we re after .
Katie : There are rumors circulating everywhere about this daring breakout collection that we suddenly canceled . E - Everyone is clamoring to see what we re gon na do next . I mean , how is it gon na look if we just reload Hollywood Glamour and pass it off as our brilliant new campaign ?
Steffy : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Katie has a point . Even if it were terrific , people will talk .
Steffy : They ll talk about how incredible it is . We re appealing to a whole new demographic . The print ads , the media-- it ll all be different .
Katie : How are you gon na accomplish that ?
Steffy : I want you to meet someone . Madison , could you let in Graham ? Thank you .
Graham : Taylor .
Brooke : Taylor , what are you doing here ?
Taylor : Well , I was waiting outside for Steffy , and he invited me in .
Brooke : Ah .
Steffy : Everyone , I d like you to meet Graham Darros .
Graham : ( Sighs )
Brooke : You re a photographer .
Donna : And a very good photographer if you re the same Graham Darros who did the River Reed Festival in Vancouver .
Graham : Well , thank you . Since then , I ve , uh , actually been working a lot in Europe , but now that I am back , I would so love to turn your After Party campaign into the success I know it can be .
Katie : How did you hear about it ?
Graham : Well , Steffy tracked me down , actually . She sold me on it . I think it s brilliant . I mean , a fashion house as renowned as Forrester just never quite took advantage of the youth market , and I ve been lucky enough to make a career out of promoting that market . Anyways , you guys are in your , uh , your meeting . I ll , uh , I ll just wait outside for your decision , okay ? Ladies .
Steffy : We ca nt miss with this guy shooting our layouts . Everything he touches turns into success . Profits , Katie-- your husband will love that .
Katie : Great . Hope , you re up .
Steffy : Up for what ?
Katie : Uh , Hope has an idea that she would like to pitch for a new collection . Hope , the floor is all yours .
Hope : Okay .
Whip : Why did nt you tell me ? I would have helped .
Sandy : I could nt tell you . I couldnt-- I could nt even look at you or any man for a long time .
Whip : I m so sorry .
Sandy : ( Sniffles )
Whip : Okay . I m sorry . I ca nt imagine what you must have been feeling .
Sandy : ( Sighs )
Whip : ( Inhales sharply ) It kills me that I could nt do anything for you .
Sandy : It s okay . You know what ? Nick has really-- he s really helping me with this , and the police are on it now .
Whip : Oh , now ? That s great . ( Sighs )
Sandy : Yeah . They , um , explained to me about budget cuts and , you know , the expense of D.N.A. testing . ( Sniffles ) But ... ( Sniffles ) I just -- it really got to me , you know , that there s so many women that are just like me , and they re waiting for answers , for answers for crimes that should put a guy away for the rest of his life . And I do nt know . I know that the police are gon na turn it around , and they re gon na process all of those kits , and they re gon na put those criminals--
Whip : Aggie , Aggie , Aggie , listen to me . I need ...
Sandy : ( Sniffles )
Whip : ( Sighs ) I need for you to talk to me about the party and who was there .
Ridge : Look , I refuse to believe that Brooke and her sisters want to turn Forrester Creations into Logan Creations . Brooke is my wife . She wants to see me running this company .
Stephanie : Not sneaking anymore children in , are they ? I mean , we ve got Rick ... ( Laughs ) and now , for goodness sakes , Marcus .
Ridge : Well , Marcus is doing a great job .
Stephanie : Uh - huh .
Ridge : There s no conspiracy going on here .
Stephanie : I just do nt want to see Taylor s children passed over .
Ridge : Steffy and Thomas are always gon na have a place in this company . Who knows ? Maybe someday , they ll be running it .
Stephanie : I hope so . I see Taylor a lot , you know .
Ridge : Well , I imagine you would . You re living with her .
Stephanie : She s doing very well , now that you ask .
Ridge : I m glad .
Stephanie : Of course , on the other hand , I m sure shed-- well , never mind .
Ridge : Thank you .
Stephanie : Oh , no . I was gon na tell you she s dating someone .
Hope : Well , it s simple , really , almost too simple . Um , a new generation , my generation , going out into the world to make their mark-- college , that first job , so much to live for , so much to dress for . Now what kids do nt have-- the only thing they do nt have-- is money , but we still want to look great , you know , dress to kill , be on the forefront of whatever that new fashion trend might be . So where do we spend our money ? Well , a chunk of that is on clothes , clothes that not only set us apart , but , yes , make a statement . And what is that statement ? What does my generation stand for ? How does the world view this new fledgling group of young adults ? As hope , hope for the future and , thus , the name of the new line-- clothes that define what we stand for , clothes that give us an identity-- you know , a line so raw , so edgy , so out there . I present to you Forrester s new campaign-- Hope for the Future .
Steffy : Wait a minute . You re naming the line after yourself .
Hope : Kind of , but it s really naming it after a concept , you know , one that defines my generation .
Steffy : You ca nt be seriously considering this .
Donna : I think it s pretty unique .
Brooke : You have to admit , it is pretty compelling .
Katie : I love it . Hope for the Future .
Hope : Oh , well , you re the one--
Katie : We re going with it .
Hope : Really ?
Katie : Yes , absolutely .
Steffy : What about Hollywood Glamour ?
Katie : Well , Steffy , what we have here are two really great ideas . One of them is maybe a little stale . The other one is a breath of fresh air , easily marketable . We ll cancel Glamour .
Steffy : You re cancelling a successful line .
Taylor : Wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . Where s the hook ? I mean , how can you design an entire line around the word hopeful ? What -- I mean , what are they gon na be made of , you--3-ring binders , paper ?
Brooke : My husband will come up with the designs , and I m sure they ll be fabulous .
Katie : And Steffy will work closely with Hope to market her concept .
Steffy : Is this really a good concept , Katie , or is there something more going on here ?
Ridge : Whip Jones ?
Stephanie : Yeah , they re seeing quite a bit of each other . It s nothing serious . I m -- I m sure he s not her first preference .
Ridge : Mother , I have way too much going on to worry about Taylor s love life .
Stephanie : ( Laughs ) I bet you do with those three girls undoing all the hard work you and Eric have done .
Ridge : Okay , you can stop with that now .
Stephanie : So you re going to continue to work here under Katie s shadow ?
Ridge : I m just biding my time .
Stephanie : Are you happy , honey ?
Ridge : ( Sighs ) My kids , uh , that s what makes me happy-- having Steffy and Thomas here , watching them develop their talent . Steffy came up with a great Hollywood Glamour line . It was brilliant . Now she s got a sequel to that that I think will be equally as exciting .
Stephanie : Good for her . I got to get back to the office . I have a meeting .
Ridge : I ll walk you to your car . Come on .
Stephanie : Oh , how nice . Thank you very much . Sweetheart ... do nt trust anyone . Did nt I teach you that a long time ago ?
Ridge : Right . Everyone s out to get me , including my wife .
Stephanie : Yes .
Ridge : Yeah .
Stephanie : ( Chuckles )
Sandy : Whip , you do nt have to take this on , okay ?
Whip : Yeah--
Sandy : Now the police are on it , and Nick has been a godsend , but listen to me . You do nt say a word about this to Bridget-- not a word , okay ? I do nt want her to stress out about this , and I know that she will .
Whip : ( Sighs ) Okay . It s been quite a few years , actually , anyway . ( Sighs ) what was that photographer s name ? Um ... was it Gordon ? No , Graham , right ?
Sandy : Graham . Yes , Graham .
Whip : Right .
Sandy : I think he s actually hit it big since then-- Graham Darros .
Graham : They took a pass on your After Party project ?
Steffy : Yeah . Look , I m -- I m so sorry I wasted your time .
Graham : No , no . You did nt . I m just -- I m surprised . It was a winner , Steff .
Steffy : Well , maybe they ll want you to shoot Hope . ( Sighs )
Graham : ( Sighs ) Well , you -- you re probably not gon na want to hear this , but she s a beautiful girl . I d probably enjoy it . I just-- ( Clicks tongue ) I do nt know . I just feel bad for you .
Steffy : Oh , it is so obvious Katie has it out for me . I d like to put her in her place . Maybe I should .
Taylor : Brooke ... ( Scoffs ) you have got to talk to your sister . Hope has zero experience .
Brooke : Maybe that s what we need-- a new approach .
Taylor : No , that-- ( Scoffs ) is exactly what Steffy is qualified to do . Look at the success of the-- of the Hollywood Glamour line . Look how great that was . It only makes common business sense that she would be the one to follow it up .
Brooke : She ll have other chances to do that , but this is Hope s moment .
Taylor : Your daughter s moment , you mean .
Brooke : The decision s been made .
Taylor : Well , have you thought about how this is going to affect your marriage ? You know why Ridge is here . The only reason he is still here after everything he s been through-- it s a miracle he did nt leave a long time ago . The only reason he s here is because of his daughter . This is her legacy , and when he finds out that his daughter has been passed over for yours , he is not going to be happy .
Brooke : Taylor , it did nt happen that way .
Taylor : I was there , Brooke . That s exactly what happened .
Brooke : Gosh , you do nt know anything about this business . What Hope did today was huge , and Ridge will see that .
Taylor : No , Ridge is going to be pushed to his ultimate limit . He will walk , Brooke , and it wo nt be just from this company .
Brooke : Oh , I see . ( Chuckles ) That s good . Yeah , you would really love that , would nt you ? You ve always had this glimmer of hope that you two would get back together .
Taylor : Okay , fine . Fine . You know , do nt say you have nt been warned .
Brooke : You are so transparent , all this so - called advice that you give , when really , you re just trying to stir up trouble , and this time you re using our children . How pathetic .
Taylor : Ooh . W - Wow .
Ridge : What s going on ?
Taylor : Hmm . You want to tell him ?
Brooke : Yes . Yes , I do .
Taylor : Okay .
Brooke : A decision s been made about the promotional campaign .
Ridge : Well , we re gon na be going with the Hollywood Glamour line , right ?
Brooke : Well , we decided to go with something new , actually . Um , it s -- it s something different . We re going in a different direction .
Ridge : What direction is that ?
Brooke : Mm . It s called Hope-- Hope for the Future .
Ridge : Steffy s idea ?
Brooke : No . It was Hope s , actually .
Ridge : Your daughter , our new intern-- you chose her idea over Steffy s ?
Brooke : Uh , okay , I can see you re not really happy with this , but you know what ? It s really a great concept , and if you just give me a chance to tell you about it ... Ridge ?
Ridge : Logan , I helped Steffy with that presentation . She believes in it , and so do I. But you and your sisters went to your teenaged daughter s idea instead of Steffy s ? What s going on here ? This -- this time , I m afraid you ve gone too far here . I ve had enough .
Brooke : Ridge , wait .
Ridge : No . This is it . Brooke , I m done , finished .
Brooke : What are you saying ?
Ridge : I m telling you it s over .

Michael : Yeah , we appreciate it . Uh , one of us will come by and pick him up for school tomorrow . Yeah . Thank you , Gloria . Uh , she put double locks on the windows and doors , and Angelo has posted a guard .
Lauren : That s good . That s good . Its better that Fen is with Gloria now . He s safer there than with us .
Jill : I just ca nt believe that the judge reduced Daisy s sentence to time served .
Lauren : ( Sighs ) Yeah , none of us can .
Michael : ( Tapping cell phone )
Jill : Does Phyllis know ?
Michael : Oh , um , her phone goes straight to voice mail .
Lauren : And what about Kevin ?
Michael : I would like to tell him in person .

Lauren : You stay away from me .
Angelina : Then maybe I can help you with whatever it is you re trying to figure out .
Kevin : You re not gon na like it .
Angelina : Sometimes , we ll disagree . That s okay . ( Chuckles )
Kevin : I m working on a plan to get us out of the marriage .
Angelina : Oh .
Kevin : I told you you were nt gon na like it .
Angelina : I guess I thought we could keep up the charade for a while .
Kevin : I want more out of marriage . I want more for you , too .
Angelina : I think you re best .
Kevin : That s sweet , really ... but Daisy s hearing today-- it just really got me thinking .
Angelina : About what ?
Kevin : Um , about how ... the last time my life got this out of control , it cost Jana her life , and I can not let anything like that happen again . I want my life back , and I am not willing to let anyone get hurt this time .
Angelina : It really shook you up , thinking about all that stuff with your ex again .
Kevin : Especially considering that the person responsible for her death could be getting released from prison soon .
Lauren : You stay out of my sight , before I do something you re gon na regret .
Daisy : I was hoping we could put this all behind us .
Lauren : You -- you think I m gon na fall for your innocent act ?
Daisy : I had a lot of time in prison to think about all the horrible things I did--
Jill : Exactly what part of Get lost are you not getting ?
Daisy : I m free now . For your sake , you d better get used to it .
Jill : Oh , my Lord . You were amazing , sw-- oh , you re shaking . Are you okay ?
Lauren : I - I m scared to death .
Jill : It s all right . It s okay .
Lauren : That s why I-- come here . I have this .
Jill : ( Gasps ) ( Whispering ) Oh , my God . Oh , my God !
Daniel : Come on , Nick , listen to me . This is an emergency . Daisy s out of jail .
Nick : What ?
Daniel : Yeah , the nanny let her in the penthouse . Um , look , I got ta get in touch with Mom , and I got ta tell her what s going on . Where is she ?
Nick : She went to see her dad .
Daniel : Wait a minute , in Connecticut ?
Nick : Yeah .
Daniel : Well , I thought that she hated the guy .
Nick : I guess she just found out that , uh , that he s dying .
Daniel : Really ? Um ... ( Chuckles ) Well , she did nt tell me that . That-- that s ... you know , I never even got to meet the guy , Nick . How soon can you get here ?
Nick : Well , I m on my way now , but what are you gon na do ?
Daniel : I m gon na go to Connecticut .
Avery : Daddy .
George : Avery . I did nt know you were here .
Phyllis : Of course you did nt . You never would have admitted the truth if she was here .
Avery : It was nt the truth .
Phyllis : Yes , it was . You heard him .
Avery : No , I heard him placating you . Daddy , you told Phyllis that you were guilty to make her feel better , right ?
Phyllis : You admit it . Admit it , and tell her . You were rightly accused and convicted of stealing money from those people . You tell her .
Avery : Stop it . Stop it !
Phyllis : You tell her .
Avery : Daddy , you do nt have to answer .
Phyllis : Tell her !
George : No , Avery , it s all right . I want to . ( Sighs ) That s right . I said it for Phyllis .
Phyllis : You said it for me ? Did you ? The daughter that you have nt seen in years ?
George : You wanted peace of mind , did nt you ?
Phyllis : I wanted honesty , and that s what I got . I got honesty . I got honesty , is what I got . You admitted t , and it was the truth . You made a deathbed confession , and that s -- you know it was . You know it was , and so do you .
Kevin : I mean , if Daisy gets released from jail--
Angelina : Maybe she wo nt .
Kevin : Thanks .
Angelina : Even if she does , you did your part testifying against her . There was nothing else you could do .
Kevin : I should have done something a long time ago , before she hurt Jana and Lauren . That s when I should have stepped up .
Angelina : Nobody steps up more than you do . You married me to protect a whole lot of people .
Kevin : Oh , yeah , yeah , a real act of bravery , as opposed to , say , I do nt know , standing up to your father .
Angelina : You are the bravest guy I know and if anybody says otherwise , I ll have em whacked .
Kevin : Please , please do nt talk about whacking people .
Angelina : ( Laughs ) It s just an expression .
Kevin : Oh , yeah ? Well , then tell that to Daddy .
Angelina : Okay , no whacking , cross my heart . I just want you to know you re really great .
Kevin : Yeah , you re okay , too . Come here .
Michael : Oh , um , I m sorry . The door was open . I hope I m not interrupting .
Jill : ( Whispering ) You bought a gun ?
Lauren : I know what you re gon na say .
Jill : Yeah , that I m worried about you .
Lauren : Well , you do nt have to be . I know exactly what I m doing . I already have a permit , and when I m not carrying ... ( Whispers ) The gun ... ( Normal voice ) I m keeping it in the safe in the office .
Jill : Oh , my God . Does Michael know about this ?
Lauren : He does nt know .
Daniel : Girls are asleep . I got ta get to the airport .
Nick : Look , Daniel--
Daniel : No , do nt try and talk me out of this , Nick .
Nick : I m not gon na do that , all right ? I ve been where you are , Man , when my own grandpa died . I went with my dad so I could be there for him , but I also went for myself , same as you .
Daniel : Mom should nt have kept this from me .
Nick : Your mom s relationship with her dad is very complicated .
Daniel : Yeah , I guess that runs in the family , does nt it ?
Nick : It s like that in all families , Buddy . Get out of here . You do nt want to be late .
Daniel : It s a little weird , you know ? Having to say hello and good - bye to my grandpa , all at the same time .
Phyllis : He s not gon na lie at a time like this . He s dying . You ve been around enough condemned men to know that that s true . They re not gon na lie
George : Do nt listen to her , Avery . She s always just tying to hurt us-- your mother , me , you .
Phyllis : Oh , my God . I was trying to save our family .
George : By tearing it apart .
Phyllis : No , you did that , Dad , you did that .
Avery : Stop it , both of you .
Phyllis : You know the truth . You know the truth .
Phyllis : Hey , Dad . You can die now . But you know what ? We have to live with this . We have to live with this , but it helps me , knowing that you re gon na spend the rest of your eternity in hell .
George : Avery . Do nt believe her . I just said it to ... I just said it to--
Avery : Phyllis is right , Dad . People on their deathbeds are honest .
George : No .
Avery : Y - you did it . You stole from those people ? You ruined their lives , and you lied about it ? You made me think you were innocent , unjustly accused of a crime you did nt commit , put in jail for something you did nt do . But you did it ? I turned my back on my own sister . Daddy , I became a defense attorney because of you-- champion of people who have been wrongly imprisoned , some of them for horrendous crimes . ( Sobs ) ( Voice breaking ) I worked so hard to get them free for you . Oh , my God , how many of them-- how many of them did I set free that might have been guilty , just like you ?
George : Ohh , Avery--
Avery : No , no . My whole life is based on a lie-- your lie . ( Sobs ) Everything I did was for you-- everything . ( Sobs ) Does mommy know ?
George : Well ...
Avery : Does mommy know ?
George : We never talked about it , but she had to .
Avery : ( Gasps ) Oh , my God . ( Sniffles )
George : Avery ...
Avery : ( Sobs )
George : Try to understand .
Avery : No . ( Sobbing ) Oh , my God , no , I will never understand . ( Sniffles ) Mommy knew , too . ( Sniffles ) Mommy knew , too . They lied to me all those years . ( Sniffles ) They lied . They lied ! ( Sniffles )
Phyllis : I tried to tell you .
Avery : ( Sobbing )
Avery : Phyllis . ( Sniffles ) Phyllis ...
Phyllis : I m done . I m going home to my family .
Avery : ( Breathing raggedly )
Angelina : Sure you do nt want a beer ? We got plenty .
Michael : No , I m fine . Uh , I m sorry about just now .
Kevin : Well , you walk in unannounced , you re bound to get an eyeful .
Angelina : Lucky you did nt get here a few minutes later . ( Chuckles )
Michael : ( Chuckles ) Well , next time , I ll ring that doorbell -- hard . Angelina , would you mind if I talked to Kevin alone ?
Angelina : Oh , sure , no problem . I got ta unpack . Excuse me .
Michael : Sure .
Kevin : She s something , is nt she ?
Michael : We ll get to that . I have to tell you some bad news first .
Kevin : ( Sighs ) Daisy s being released .
Michael : Kevin , Avery gamed the system perfectly . She got Daisy s hearing moved up . I ... I did not have time to prepare .
Kevin : ( Exhales quickly ) Well , you did your best . You always do .
Michael : Yeah , well , unfortunately , it was nt enough .
Kevin : What happens now ?
Michael : Well , we do our best to protect the people that we think Daisy might try and hurt .
Kevin : Lauren .
Michael : Top of the list .
Kevin : How is she doing ?
Michael : Brave front . I m not buying it .
Lauren : Thank you . I know what you re thinking .
Jill : Yeah , that it must be really hard keeping something this big from Michael .
Lauren : It is , but you see , in these kind of situations , he is very reasonable and logical .
Jill : Which is what makes him a great lawyer .
Lauren : And a great husband , but I do nt want to be reasoned with , and I do nt want to be logical when it comes to Daisy .
Jill : ( Sighs ) You just want to feel safe .
Lauren : If I tell him that I have the gun and that I m scared ...
Jill : I know .
Lauren : He s gon na want to fix things .
Jill : I know , and that s impossible . ( Sighs ) Because Daisy was released from prison by a judge and legally , there s nothing Michael can do .
Lauren : So the only way that I can make it better is to make it bearable , and that s why I ve got to , uh ... carry this .
Nick : What do you want ?
Daisy : I m here to see Lucy .
Nick : Not gon na happen .
Daisy : I have a legal right to see my daughter . I brought these as proof-- unrestricted visitation . I got the judge to hear my motion for custody tonight . He s ruling soon , and in the meantime ...
Nick : You re not going anywhere near her .
Daisy : ( Sighs ) Okay . I know this is really hard for all of you , especially Phyllis , but I m just trying to do things the nice way , the right way .
Nick : Too bad .
Daisy : We ll see about that .
Avery : Phyllis . Phyllis , wait . Wait . You have years to be angry at me , but you have to go to him now and tell him what this did to you .
Phyllis : Oh , he does nt care , Avery .
Avery : This is nt about him . It s about you , and you need to go and you need to tell him how badly he hurt you .
George : Does this mean you re ready to listen to reason , both of you ?
Avery : It s your turn to listen , Daddy . You owe Phyllis that much .
Phyllis : Avery wants me to talk to you . ( Sighs ) I do nt know what -- why were , um , why were all those material things more important than me ?
George : I wanted to move us all up in the world . Maybe I went about it the wrong way . I ...
Phyllis : By moving us up , you tore us apart .
George : ( Sighs )
Phyllis : When I found out the truth , you told me I was ... the liar . You took my family away . You took my life away you took it away . You turned Mom and Avery against me . And I had n-- oh , you look at me . I had no choice but to leave my family and go out on my own . You ruined ... my life . You did this to me ! You did this to me ! You made me like this . You ruined my life . Oh , my God , I do nt understand why . ( Sniffles ) I do nt understand why . I have nothing more to say to you . I - I ... ( Sniffling ) I m glad that Avery knows what kind of man you are ... ( Sniffles ) Finally . I m glad .
George : Phyllis ... Phyllis , do nt go like this . I m ... sorry . I m so cl ... close to dying . I m ...
Phyllis : You ve been dead to me for years .
Avery : Was it worth it , Daddy , making me hate her all those years ... ( Voice breaks ) Just to protect yourself ? ( Sniffling ) ( Sighs ( Sniffles ) ( Sobbing ) ( Exhales slowly ) ( Sniffles ) ( Sighs )
Kevin : Well , thank you for telling me about Daisy .
Michael : ( Chuckles ) That s not the only reason I came by . I want to talk to you about something-- something I have the feeling you ve been avoiding .
Kevin : News to me .
Michael : Oh , come on , Kevin . You left Chloe at the altar to get married to the mob .
Kevin : Yeah , so ?
Michael : You have yet to give me a plausible explanation .
Kevin : I told you the truth . You just chose not to believe it .
Michael : That you fell out of love with Chloe and you fell in love with Angelo s daughter ? !
Kevin : You do nt know Angie .
Michael : You do nt know Angie !
Kevin : Trust me , Mikey , I am right where I want to be .
Michael : Yeah , you see ? Right there , the Trust me part ? You say that every time you ve gotten yourself in trouble . Does Angelo have something on you ?
Kevin : No . Have nt you heard ? We re paisans . He buys me houses .
Michael : Listen . Together , we can take him . We can get you out of this .
Kevin : Look , Mike , I m -- I m where I want to be , trust me .
Michael : Whatever you say . ( Scoffs )
Kevin : Mike .
Michael : Yeah ?
Kevin : ( Sighs ) Thank you ... for caring .
Michael : ( Sighs ) If anything ever happened to you , I ... if anything ever happened to you , I would never hear the end of it from the mouth that is our mother .
Jill : I wish I had a man in my life to keep secrets from .
Lauren : Michael and I usually do nt keep secrets from each other .
Jill : ( Chuckles ) That s why you have a man in your life .
Lauren : I ca nt imagine my life without him .
Jill : Oh , my God , you re killing me . Do you realize , in the time you ve been with this perfect husband of yours , I have had a con man , a playboy who dumped me just before he reforms ...
Lauren : ( Chuckles )
Jill : And a bigamist .
Lauren : Yeah , you do nt have a lot of good luck with men .
Jill : Thank you . That s a nice way of saying You re an idiot , Jill .
Lauren : No , no , no , no , no , no . It s Jeffrey and Tucker and Colin and ... yeah , just -- just Colin . They re the idiots .
Jill : All I can say is , they re damn lucky I do nt have one of those in my purse .
Lauren : You ve been really understanding and supportive of me having this gun , but tell me the truth-- do you think it s a mistake ?
Jill : I think Daisy s a real threat , and I think that you have a right to make yourself feel safe however you choose to , and whatever that is , I support you .
Lauren : You re getting real good at this sister thing .
Jill : I am , are nt I ?
Lauren : Yeah . ( Chuckles )
Jill : Although I do have one piece of advice .
Lauren : Oh , I knew you would .
Jill : Tell Michael about the gun in your purse .
Lauren : I know . I will .
Jill : Sooner rather than later .
Lauren : You re not gon na say anything to him , are you ?
Jill : Michael wo nt hear anything from me .
Michael : Anything about what ?
Nick : I told you to get lost .
Daisy : I do nt want any trouble . I brought someone here to make sure there is nt any .
Man : Is there a Lucy Carter here , Sir ?
Nick : Yes , there is , but--
Man : This woman has a court order that allows her to see her . I m here to enforce it .
Avery : Mom , it s me . I m at the hospice facility . Where are you ? Can you come here ? We need to talk .
Woman : Avery .
Avery : Yeah ?
Woman : You should be with him now .
Avery : Is it time ? Have you seen my mom ?
Woman : Not since I told her the end was near .
Avery : Why would she go someplace if she knew ... ? ( Sniffles ) Oh , she must not have realized--
Phyllis : Oh , for God sake , Avery ... of course she realized . She does nt care . That s Lydia . It does nt matter to her . I mean , it s probably her final statement to George .
Avery : Oh , Mom would nt do that .
Phyllis : Oh , really ? She would nt ? Open your eyes . ( Sighs ) She knew exactly what was going on . Yeah , and Dad would nt steal . I -- she knew . I -- they re both ... ( Sighs ) Oh , God . I - Ive -- Ive got ta get out of here .
Avery : Phyllis , we ca nt let Daddy die alone .
Phyllis : Yes , I can .
Avery : I have to go in there . ( Cries )
Phyllis : No , you do nt .
Kevin : How long you been standing there ?
Angelina : I heard some of what you were saying to Michael .
Kevin : He likes to play the role of big brother .
Angelina : He cares about you , and you care about him , too .
Kevin : Yeah , we have , uh ... ( Chuckles ) We have an interesting relationship .
Angelina : It s nice .
Kevin : We re family .
Angelina : I m sorry , Kevvie .
Kevin : About what ?
Angelina : Coming between you and the people you love-- n - not just your brother . You re lying to your mom and your friends ... Chloe . It s tearing you up .
Kevin : Well , it s for a good cause .
Angelina : Eventually , Daddyll forget about wanting to put you in cement shoes . I guess I just thought , in the meantime , we could have fun playing house , but it s not fun , not for you , and that s not fun for me .
Kevin : I m gon na get us out of this . I ve already got some ideas .
Angelina : Tell me what to do . I want to make this right for you .
Kevin : I know . I want to make this right for both of us .
Lauren : Mm . Look , Honey . Scotch , neat , just the way you like it .
Michael : Yes , perfect . Now can you answer my question ? What is it I wo nt hear about from Jill ?
Jill : You know , Lauren and I were just talking girl talk , that s all .
Michael : Well , a wife should nt keep secrets from her husband .
Jill : Yeah . That s funny .
Michael : ( Chuckles ) It was nt meant to be .
Lauren : Honey . Honey , it was nothing , really . It was just two sisters bonding .
Michael : ( Chuckles ) All right . ( Sighs ) You sure everything s okay ?
Lauren : Yeah . Everything s fine .
Avery : ( Sighs ) Phyllis , please ...
Phyllis : You do nt have to go . You can choose . You do nt have to do t , Avery .
Woman : He s gone .
Avery : Oh , my God . ( Sobs ) ( Sniffles ) Oh , my God . ( Sobbing )
Phyllis : It s over .
Avery : ( Sniffles )
Avery : Ohh . How will you forgive me for everything I ve done to you ?
Phyllis : It s ... ( Sighs ) That s the past , Avery . It does nt matter anymore . It s done . We do nt have to hurt each other anymore .
Avery : I m afraid it s too late for that .
Phyllis : Why ?
Avery : I got Daisy released from prison .
Phyllis : What ?
Avery : Today .
Phyllis : ( Sighs ) ( sighs ) You got Daisy released from prison . Oh , my God . ( Sighs vehemently ) ( Leather coat rustles ) ( Sighs ) I swear to you , if that psychotic freak ... gets her hands on my kid , it is war with us .
Daisy : Hey . Hi , Baby .
Lucy : ( Grunts )
Daisy : Mommy s back .
Daniel : Um ... I m -- I m sorry . I m looking for my grandfather , George Summers .
Woman : I m sorry . He just passed away . These belonged to him , if you ...
Daniel : No , no , no , no . No , no , no . I think someone else should probably take those . Do you mind if I have a moment , though ?
Phyllis : I m not allowing Lucy to be raised by that psychotic criminal .
Daisy : So you re dropping me as a client cause suddenly , you feel guilty about screwing over your sister ?
Victoria : Hi , what s wrong ?
Nick : It s Lucy . She s fine , but we need to talk .

### Dialogue:
Ethan : Look , man , whatever it is , do you think it could wait till morning ?
Chad : Look , I m sorry to barge in like this , but , no , I ve got to talk to somebody now .
Gwen : Honey , it s ok , you know ? I m not going anywhere .
Ethan : Ok . I ll be right back .
Gwen : I hope nothing s wrong with Miles or Whitney .
Whitney : Oh , God , why ca nt I sleep ? Please , I ve atoned for my sins already tonight .
Whitney : Let me sleep . God , please let me sleep .
Whitney : Yes , Chad , make love to me .
Whitney : Oh , my God , I m damned .
Theresa : You re Mrs. Crane . Getting pretty good at this wheeling and dealing . Mm - hmm . Chad s agreed to help me get Ethan away from that pasty - faced wife of his . And in return , I m going to help him get Whitney to leave the convent to join him at their home with Miles . Who knows , maybe by summer I ll be Mrs. Ethan Winthrop .
Miguel : Started talking to yourself ?
Theresa : Miguel ?
Theresa : Oh , my God .
Theresa : Oh , wow , this is great ! Look at you . You re so handsome . You re more handsome than ever . Where did you come from ?
Miguel : Oh , come on , you should know . I m the big surprise for Mama and Papa s ceremony .
Theresa : Uh -- wait , you told me you could nt come .
Miguel : I was nt going to . But when the Crane jet arrived in Mexico to pick me up , how could I say no ?
Theresa : Wait , wait -- the Crane jet ? Ok , who sent it ?
Miguel : Come off of it , Theresa . You did .
Theresa : No , I did nt .
Miguel : Then who did ?
Ivy : Sending the Crane jet to pick up Miguel was brilliant if I do say so myself . How many people could resist that ? Oh , I should probably call Valerie and thank her for pulling it off . Now that Miguel is back in town , he and Kay will bond over their daughter . And then Fox and Kay will be through . Oh , I m sorry , Fox . I know it s going to break your heart , but it s worth it . Mother knows best .
Kay : What a bizarre night , huh ?
Fox : Yeah , you know , it s a real shame that Martin and Pilar did nt go through with the ceremony .
Kay : Yeah , that was a shocker . Does anyone know what happened ?
Fox : Not me . Then there s the other special news of the night -- Miguel .
Kay : Yeah , I know . That was weird , huh ? He just showed up out of the blue like that .
Fox : You really had no idea he was going to be there tonight ?
Kay : Me ? No , no . I barely even talk to him anymore , and when I do it s only about Maria . Last I heard , he was nt coming home because he was too busy searching for Charity .
Fox : You really think he means it ? About giving up looking for Charity , I mean .
Kay : I think so . He s always been a man of his word . I think he s home for good .
Fox : I think that s a good thing .
Kay : Really ?
Fox : Yeah , absolutely . You know , Maria needs her father , and I love the little girl , but I m no substitute for the real thing . At least not yet . And once we re married , we re going to be a real family .
Kay : Oh , you are the most incredible man .
Fox : Oh , you know .
Tabitha : It wo nt last , though . You watch . The boys in the basement wo nt allow it . No , they wo nt .
Woman : Ooh . You know what I d like right now ?
Man : What ?
Woman : Some mushu chicken with pancakes and fried dumplings .
Man : Me , too . Instead , why do nt we go for a walk ?
Woman : And then ?
Man : Then we break in my new hot tub .
Woman : Ooh . I m at your party .
Simone : I ll never have that in my life , that kind of open affection with a partner . People will never accept it between two women .
Sheridan : No . It ca nt be . Luis ? Is my mind playing tricks on me ?
Sheridan : No . It s impossible . This is just one of father s sick jokes . Or am I finally losing my mind ?
Sheridan : You re dead . You re dead .
Chris : Sheridan !
Sheridan : No .
Theresa : No , I -- I did nt send the Crane jet . I did nt ! I did nt , I m telling you . I spoke to you on the phone , you said you were on this mission , you know , to find Charity , so I just assumed that you were nt going to be home for Mama and Papa s vow renewal ceremony .
Miguel : I know . But your secretary called and said it was urgent . I got on the plane . She was very convincing .
Theresa : Which secretary ?
Miguel : I think she said her name was Valerie .
Theresa : That s strange .
Miguel : Why is that strange ?
Theresa : Well , because , you know , she s not my assistant really . I mean , I do nt know . Come on , let s walk . She s actually Chad and Fox s secretary , you know ? She convinced you to get home ? This is great ! Good for her . I guess she knew how much I wanted you to be here for the ceremony and -- wow , I guess she went all out to please the big boss , huh ?
Miguel : You ?
Theresa : Yes . Ooh , it s so great to be in charge . I got to tell you , I wish I could get everything that I ever wanted that easily . Hmm .
Ivy : Sam , honey ?
Sam : Yeah , in here .
Ivy : Oh .
Sam : Back already ? I m sorry I had to leave . How was the ceremony ?
Ivy : Well , who knows ? It never really came off .
Sam : Really ? Why ?
Ivy : I do nt know . I never really officially heard that it was canceled . And we all stood around waiting and waiting and waiting , and it got later and later , and then the ceremony never happened and Pilar left , so we just all left .
Sam : Well , that s weird .
Ivy : Well , Sam , if anybody but Theresa were in charge of it , I would agree with you , but that girl -- her head is not screwed on straight . She ca nt handle her own love life , much less Martin and Pilar s .
Sam : You know , it s too bad . I d hoped that Martin and Pilar would really be happy together .
Ivy : Yeah .
Sam : But I m glad you re home .
Ivy : Oh .
Ivy : Well . Well , if this is the kind of greeting I m going to get every time I come home , maybe I ought to leave more often .
Fox : What the heck was that ?
Tabitha : Just my old pipes , you know .
Fox : Do nt even tell me that s your pipes . Pipes do not sound like that .
Tabitha : Oh , well , must be the water heater , then . Mineral deposits make it back up , and you know how hard the water is around here .
Fox : That sounds like a pack of wolves .
Tabitha : Does nt it , though ? As if they re waiting to be fed .
Fox : Well , maybe I should go down there and make sure that you do nt have a --
Kay : Oh , honey , now is not the time to go down to the basement . We should put Maria to bed .
Fox : Ok , just give me a minute . I promised my mom I d find her my hotel guides for the Maine coast .
Kay : For what ?
Fox : I think she s looking for a honeymoon spot .
Kay : How sweet .
Fox : I ll be in in a sec , ok ?
Kay : Ok . Ok , how about a bath , sweetheart ?
Tabitha : Oh , just a minute , young lady . I want to have a word with you , if you do nt mind . Are nt you going to tell me what happened after I left the Crane mansion ?
Kay : Oh , please . I m sure you and your busybody bowl already know by now .
Tabitha : Yes , well , as a matter of fact , I do , and I think you owe me an apology , dear .
Kay : For what ?
Tabitha : For not listening to me . Far be it from me to say I told you so , but did I or did I not warn you about the dark shadow hanging over you and Fox ?
Kay : And you still think the shadow is Miguel ?
Tabitha : Yes .
Kay : Yeah , well , I think your bowl needs a little tune - up , because Miguel is not a threat to my relationship with Fox . We re getting married . Miguel s all for it . And you know what ? I m glad that he s home because now he can finally be a father to his daughter . So whatever you and your boys in the basement think , Miguel coming home is nothing but good news .
Tabitha : Oh .
Kay : Shut up , boys . Everything is just fine .
Tabitha : You have a real talent for deluding yourself , do nt you , dear ? Your entire world is about to come crashing down around your ears . Well , do nt tell me I did nt warn you .
Sheridan : Oh , God , what happened ?
Chris : You fainted . What happened in here ?
Sheridan : It s crazy . That man --
Chris : Which man ?
Sheridan : The man in the bed .
Chris : Is he dead ?
Sheridan : No . That s just it . He should be . But he s alive . It s Luis .
Chris : What ?
Sheridan : The man in the bed is Luis . Luis is alive !
Gwen : Hi .
Rebecca : My God , what are you wearing ? Flannel ? Oh , honey , if you want to keep Ethan happy in the sack , you have to think silk or satin or -- ooh -- black leather . You know , I have this great get - up with thigh - high boots . Oh , it s very Angelina Jolie .
Gwen : Mother . Oh , God .
Rebecca : No , honey , do not mother me . If you had listened to my advice about keeping Ethan happy in the sack , he would be here right now making mad , passionate love to you instead of -- oh , let me guess -- he is with that little slut Theresa .
Gwen : Please , stop it already . And keep your voice down . Jane s sleeping .
Rebecca : So , where is he ? Well , we know he s not working late because the bum does nt have a job .
Gwen : That s not his fault and you know it .
Rebecca : I know . But you do have a job now , do nt you , sweetie ? You know , I never thought I would see the day when my own daughter had to be the breadwinner for her family . But that s why I m here . So , honey , how was your first day at work ?
Gwen : What , have you never heard of a telephone ?
Rebecca : You see , my new stud muffin , Giuseppe , he lives right around the corner , and his apartment is very low - rent but , oh , so convenient . And when I had my needs met , which of course I did , I automatically thought of you . You re my darling daughter . In fact -- oops -- I do nt think I even untied Giuseppe . I just ran right over here .
Gwen : Oh , I m so touched .
Rebecca : So -- hmm . Where is the unemployed hunk ? I mean , you should know where your husband is , especially this time of night .
Gwen : He s talking to Chad downstairs . I m surprised you did nt pass them on your way up .
Rebecca : Oh , I came up the back way . So , are you sure Ethan is with Chad ?
Gwen : Yes , I am sure . I saw him myself , and even if I did nt , so what ? I trust Ethan completely .
Rebecca : Oh , dear God , where did I go wrong ? How many times have I told you never to trust anybody , especially not a man and especially not your own husband .
Chad : This is really hard to talk about .
Ethan : Yeah , well , look , I mean , the sooner you get to the point , the sooner I can go back up to bed with my wife , so --
Chad : I m sorry .
Ethan : It s all right . Just -- you told me it was important . What s happened ?
Chad : It s Whitney . I went to the convent with Theresa , we talked our way in to see her , and she s in bad shape , Ethan . I mean , she s lost weight . You know how thin she normally is . She s got these dark circles under her eyes , which means she ca nt be sleeping . And then -- then she just blew her top .
Ethan : Chad , she s done that before , with good reason .
Chad : Yeah , but not like this . She was totally out of control . It was like she was crazy . Ethan , I do nt know what to do . I could really use your help .
Chad : God , I love you .
Whitney : Leave God out of this , Chad . Just make love to me . Make love to me .
Whitney : Oh , God . God , dear Heavenly Father , please save me . Oh , save your sinner here on earth , please .
Miguel : So I ve been hijacked back to Harmony because some woman at your office wants to impress you ?
Theresa : Well , yeah , it kind of sounds that way .
Miguel : That s supposed to make me happy ?
Theresa : I m sorry . But you know what -- I do nt know -- everyone just , you know , wants to do their best for Mrs. Alistair Crane .
Miguel : You know what , do nt even say his name , ok ? If Papa was nt here to protect you , I would have come home a lot sooner to knock some sense into you .
Theresa : I would nt put so much faith in our father . I mean , you do nt really know him .
Miguel : I ll ignore that for the moment . And do nt try and change the subject . How could you go off and marry such an evil , sick , old man ? He s a criminal , Theresa . You know it as well as I do .
Theresa : Well , Miguel , I was desperate . I thought that the only way that I could save myself and my two children was by marrying Alistair . But I was wrong , because he tricked me . It was a nightmare . But you know what ? I got to tell you , if you look around you , you know , things -- they re looking up , you know ? I mean , he is in a coma , and they do nt know if he s going to live or die . He willed everything to me . I mean , he actually willed it all to little Ethan , but , you know , he ca nt have control until he s 21 . So in the meantime I m in charge , so what I say goes .
Miguel : And that s a good thing ?
Theresa : Absolutely . You re sitting here in front of me , right ? And you did travel all the way over here in the lap of luxury , correct ?
Miguel : Yeah . But money is nt everything .
Theresa : No , it s not . But I got to tell you , if you got enough of it , you know , you could buy just about everything .
Miguel : That s not funny .
Theresa : I m just -- I m playing with you . I m playing , you know . You know , it s -- it really is good to have Crane money and power . It is . Because I can take care of Mama and I can take care of everyone in our family .
Miguel : Do they want you to ?
Theresa : I m working on that , I m working on that . But you -- you could help me enjoy it now , right ?
Theresa : It s nice to have you back . It s been a long time , you know ? So , have you seen your beautiful Maria yet ?
Miguel : Yes . She s gorgeous . She s the most beautiful little girl I ve ever seen .
Tabitha : Oh -- Simone . So nice to see you , no matter what the hour .
Simone : I m sorry for coming by so late , but Kay said she had some good news that she only wanted to tell me in person .
Tabitha : Oh , did she , now ?
Fox : Hey , Simone .
Simone : Hey , Fox .
Fox : How you doing ?
Simone : Kay said she had some good news . Does it have anything to do with you ?
Fox : Yeah .
Kay : Yes .
Kay : What do you think about that ?
Simone : You re engaged .
Kay : Yes !
Simone : Congratulations . That s so great .
Kay : Oh , thank you .
Tabitha s voice : Save the congratulations for someone who has a chance to be happy .
Chris : Luis is dead , buried . We both saw his body . You identified him . The doctors matched his D.N.A. to the man they pulled out of the water off Tangiers . This man ca nt be Luis unless the D.N.A. tests lie , and you know that ca nt happen .
Sheridan : Maybe they switched the D.N.A.
Chris : The F.B.I. ran the tests , and they run a clean shop . Not even your father could have had any influence with them . They ran it twice to make sure that the body was Luis .
Sheridan : I know , Chris , but look . I mean , yes , his hair is longer , he has a beard . But that is Luis .
Chris : It ca nt be . This must be some kind of impostor or a look - alike that your father dug up . It sounds like something he d do , does nt it ?
Sheridan : Yes .
Chris : So , before your father had his stroke , he hired this man or kidnapped him just to confuse you , to tear us apart . Maybe he even had him altered with cosmetic surgery to be Luis dead ringer .
Sheridan : You really think this man is just one of my father s sick jokes to hurt me ?
Chris : What else can it be ? We know what your father is capable of . He kidnapped your baby . He had Luis and Antonio killed . It must drive him crazy to think that you ve finally found happiness with me . You know he ll do anything to keep you miserable , Sheridan .
Sheridan : You re right . Years ago my father and Julian hired an impostor to wear a mask . He looked just like Luis .
Sheridan : Now my father is at it again . It ca nt be Luis . Oh , it just ca nt be .
Sheridan : I know -- I know you re right . He just -- he looks just like Luis .
Chris : I m sure he does .
Sheridan : But he ca nt be . Damn my father . Even half dead , he s able to torment me . He ll do anything to keep me from being happy .
Chris : Not anymore . You ve got me to protect you now . I wo nt let Alistair Crane ever hurt you again .
Ethan : Look , Chad , I m sorry . I mean , of course I m going to help you with Whitney . I m going to do whatever I can . I ve always considered her a good friend .
Chad : Yeah , you two go way back .
Ethan : All right , then -- I mean , what can I do ? What can I do to help ? Because , Chad , I remember talking to her about the convent . She was very serious about becoming a nun and remaining cloistered for the rest of her life .
Chad : Well , she still is .
Ethan : All right , then . I mean , what -- what can we do to change her mind ?
Chad : I do nt know , but we have to do something . Ethan , she s hurting , man , I mean , really hurting .
Whitney : Ca nt sleep . I just ca nt . It s too risky . My dreams -- God , my dreams keep taking me to the same sick place -- Chad . Why ? It s so unnatural . It s horrible . I know this is the devil s work . This is the devil forcing me to concentrate on my perverse love affair with Chad . I -- I got to get out of here . I got to get some air .
Theresa : To you and Maria .
Miguel : We should be drinking on Mama and Papa , tonight of all nights . Where is everybody anyway ? Is it a midnight service ?
Theresa : Have nt heard , huh ?
Miguel : Heard what ? I ve been upstairs waiting for the ceremony to begin .
Theresa : There was a problem , and they re not going to renew their vows after all .
Miguel : Why not ?
Theresa : Our father , as usual .
Miguel : What s that supposed to mean ?
Theresa : Um , well , you know , you have nt seen Papa since you were a baby , and we all saw Mama pine for him all those years . And you know what ? She wasted her life .
Miguel : I ca nt believe that . Though Paloma did say she heard yelling earlier .
Theresa : Apparently , Papa s still in love with that woman that he ran off with all those years ago -- you know , Katherine ? Mama told me that she saw him kissing her right before they were going to renew their vows , so Mama called the whole thing off .
Miguel : After all these years , he hurt her again ?
Theresa : I know .
Miguel : So I came all this way for nothing ?
Theresa : Oh , no , no , no . No , no , no , not nothing . No , no , no -- for Mama , for us , and for your little girl . And that is worth it , right ?
Miguel : Yeah . You know , just holding Maria in my arms again made the whole trip worthwhile .
Theresa : So , where have you been , you know ? You -- you did nt find Charity , did you ?
Miguel : No . That was -- it was bizarre . I came close over and over again , and every time I thought I d turn the corner and she d come into my arms , she d vanish .
Theresa : She was running from you ?
Miguel : I do nt know . I do nt think so . I mean , I know she s ok . And it sounds crazy , but I think there s something or someone that s trying to keep us apart .
Theresa : Well , that does nt sound crazy .
Miguel : You know , maybe if I just stay in one place and she keeps running , she ll run all the way around the world and end up back here . So I decided to give up my search for Charity . I m going to stay right here in Harmony .
Simone : So , have you guys started planning the wedding yet ?
Kay : Well , um --
Simone : Ok , do nt tell me you pulled out that file you made in high school .
Kay : Oh , no .
Simone : Ok , Fox , you wo nt believe this . Kay was such a tomboy . But secretly , she had this enormous file that was filled with , like , dress designs and China patterns .
Kay : And wedding cake recipes . What ? You ll be a bridesmaid , wo nt you ?
Simone : Yeah , well , do nt be silly . Of course -- provided you do nt you pick out some hideous bridesmaid s dress .
Kay : I promise , I promise .
Simone : Ok , well , then I will just start planning the best bridal shower of all time .
Kay : Aw , you re the best .
Simone : Ooh , I ca nt wait .
Kay : I know .
Kay : Simone , what s wrong ?
Sam : Would you like to have an old - fashioned Bennett nightcap ? It s an ancient family secret .
Ivy : Mmm . What is it ?
Sam : Shot and a beer .
Ivy : No , no , thank you . But , oh , a glass of brandy would be nice .
Sam : Oh ? I ll be right back .
Ivy : Ah , Mrs. Sam Bennett . That has a nice ring to it . There s only going to be one bride in this family , and that s me . Kay and Fox s engagement will be broken , thanks to Miguel .
Sam : You re thinking about the engagement , are nt you ?
Ivy : Why do you say that , Sam ?
Sheridan : If this man is nt Luis , then who is he ?
Chris : Do we care ? If he s an impostor --
Sheridan : He might know where Marty is . Oh , my goodness , what happened ? Did you catch Otto ?
Chris : No , I m sorry . I lost him . The old bastard went over a cliff . I think he s dead .
Sheridan : No . How are we going to find Marty now ?
Chris : I do nt know . But we wo nt stop trying .
Chris : Are you all right ?
Sheridan : I will be . It s -- it s just that this trip started off with so much promise . Now we re no closer to finding my son than we were when we first started .
Chris : Otto did say one very strange thing before he went off that cliff . He said that I would be sorry I did nt let him kill this man .
Sheridan : If this man is an impostor working for my father , why would Otto say that ?
Luis : I think it s the way all tangos should end . }
Ivy : Uh , what do you mean , Sam ?
Sam : Looking at your engagement ring , I just assumed you were thinking about our wedding day .
Ivy : Oh .
Ivy : Yes , yes , I ca nt wait to be your bride .
Kay : Simone , come on , what s wrong ?
Simone : It s -- it s silly . I was realizing how I will never have this . You know , a wedding and a reception and a honeymoon with the tin cans tied to the bumper . Children , a house .
Fox : Oh , come on , Simone . You just have to get out there and meet the right woman .
Simone : I mean , but even if I do , it wo nt be legal in this state . And if I do find somebody to love , and say we go through the motions of having a commitment ceremony -- it wo nt be the same as a wedding .
Kay : Well , all that matters is that you love somebody .
Simone : You re right . It s just -- ignore me . Really , you guys , congratulations again . I love you both .
Kay : Aw .
Tabitha : Well , there wo nt be any big days for anyone around here soon .
Gwen : Oh . Oh , sweetheart , it breaks my heart to hear you cry . Yeah .
Rebecca : Oh , I know it does . So take my advice . Hire a nanny , then you ll never have to hear it again .
Gwen : Ok , that is not how I want to raise my daughter .
Rebecca : Yeah , and I do nt want to see you have to raise your daughter as a single mother , so please keep an eye on your husband .
Gwen : Can you please stop harping on that ? I trust my husband completely .
Rebecca : Fine . It s your funeral . Just do me a favor . Do nt ever trust Theresa , not for a second .
Theresa : So you re going to give up on finding Charity ?
Miguel : You heard it here first . I m home .
Theresa : For how long ?
Miguel : For good . Now that I ve seen Maria , I do nt think I could ever leave her again .
Theresa : I mean , I completely understand a parent s love for their child . But how do you give up the love of your life ?
Ethan : Look , Chad , I want to help you with Whitney . I really do . I just do nt know what I can do . She s a good friend , yes , but I do nt have any influence over her .
Chad : And how do you figure on doing that ?
Theresa : First you got to agree to help me with Ethan .
Chad : See , now -- see , I knew it was going to cost me bigtime .
Theresa : Yeah , you help me , I help you . }
Ethan : Chad ? Hey , hello ? Speak up here . I do nt know what to do . Tell me how I can help Whitney .
Whitney : God , how can I get past this ? Every day is a nightmare . Oh , my God . No , I walked right over to Chad s recording studio ? Why , Whitney ? God , why do you have to be so stupid ? Why do you have to give in to these sinful feelings for Chad ? Ok , I got to go . I got to get out of here .
Whitney : Is that Miles ? That must be the babysitter .
Whitney : Where are they going at this time of night ?
Sheridan : What a strange thing for Otto to say . Why would you regret it if this man lives ?
Chris : I have no idea . I tried to ask him , but he went over the cliff before he answered .
Sheridan : It s so awful . Well , if Otto s gone , then this man is our only link to Marty .
Chris : Well , if this man worked for Alistair , he must be corruptible . Maybe we can bribe him when he wakes up .
Sheridan : Whoever worked on him is amazing . I mean , he looks just like Luis . Even his hands looks like Luis . But I -- I know it s not him . He s just one of my father s tools .
Chris : Just think of how sick your father must be to have planned this . You do nt come up with someone s double overnight . This must have been months of planning .
Sheridan : Ever since Luis died . My father has me pegged , though . He knew nothing would turn my world upside down more than to have Luis suddenly reappear .
Sheridan : He s going in and out of consciousness .
Chris : Well , the doctor said he needed his rest . You know what ? To hell with this . Let s just string him up and force him to tell us about Marty .
Sheridan : No , there s no need for any more violence . All right ? We need to just wait for him to wake up .
Chris : I still like my plan better , but all right . You look exhausted . There s no point in both of us hanging around here . Why do nt you go back to the hotel and get some rest . I ll stay here and make sure this creep does nt disappear .
Sheridan : I want to be here when he wakes up .
Chris : We ve been here for hours , darling . You wo nt be any good to Marty if you do nt take care of yourself .
Sheridan : All right . Oh , my God . Chris , he s hurting me .
Chris : Let go of her . Do nt you ever touch her again !
Luis : Sheridan .
Sheridan : Oh , my God . It s not an impostor . It s Luis . This is really Luis .
Miguel : Why are nt you with the woman you really love -- Theresa ?
Sam : I never thought Kay would ever get over Miguel .
Ivy : Do you think she has ?
Sheridan : And I will never , ever leave your side again .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
David : Where s Dixie ?
Zach : I do nt know . Maybe she heard your voice .
David : I heard from a moron the two of you were having an affair . So now I want to hear it from you . I want to hear the truth .
Dixie : David ? Zach , what s going on ?
Zach : Good news travels fast . He knows about you and me .
Babe : You are so incredible , Josh . How did you pull that off ?
Josh : Would you expect anything else ?
Babe : I guess not , huh ? I -- it s the best song . It s perfect . It s --
Kendall : Step away from the tramp , Josh . Step away .
Livia : I put my friendship with Jackson on the line for this case .
Ryan : You did the right thing , Livia .
Livia : I swore that this was not an act that Jonathan was doing , that he actually loves Lily .
Ryan : This is not an act . He does love Lily . He loves Lily more than he loves his own life .
Lily : Did I ruin everything ? Normal people have meltdowns , too , but mine -- mine made me look incompetent .
Amanda : I d like to melt down the witch your dad hired .
Erin : Yeah .
Lily : I do nt like Martha Leighton . Your dad s good luck charm did nt help me . Where did Jonathan go ?
Erin : We do nt know , sweetie .
Amanda : He ll be back soon .
Lily : I m Lily Lavery . I m competent . I m Mrs. Jonathan Lavery . And I want my husband .
Jack : What s the matter , Jonathan ? No innocent wimpy stare ? No stu -- stu-- stutter ? Come on , let me have it like that again .
Jonathan : You win , Jack . You happy ?
Jack : No . But at least maybe I ve stopped you from destroying my daughter .
Jonathan : You just destroyed your daughter out there , not me . Was it worth it ?
Lily : Soon is a relative term , but I think that my father and Jonathan should be back by now . Did they leave the courthouse ? Is Jonathan ok ?
Amanda : You do nt have to worry about Jonathan .
Lily : Well , Jonathan likes to worry about me , he said , so -- he said that it was a husband thing . I really want my husband back .
Erin : Lily , did I ever thank you for marrying my brother ?
Lily : No . Why would you ?
Erin : Because he s happy . Jonathan thinks that you two falling in love is the best thing that has ever happened to him . And I agree .
Lily : Jonathan and I are like two parts to the same equation . Alone , we do nt solve or prove anything . But together , we make everything work . Everything fits perfectly . Matching someone like I do with Jonathan -- it s the best feeling in the world .
Jonathan : Well , you just put Lily through hell --
Jack : I would give my life to get Lily away from you .
Jonathan : You sacrificed Lily s life , not yours !
Jack : Oh , no , you re not going to be able to spin this to make you look good .
Jonathan : I love your daughter , and you ca nt -- no , you -- you wo nt accept that ! You think that you re helping Lily out there by separating us ? You re going to ruin everything that she s accomplished . Jack , she needs me . I make her happy .
Jack : She does nt know who the hell you are , Jonathan ! You are the one that made sure of that .
Jonathan : Jack , she loves me ! I make her happy !
Jack : And I m going to make sure that you never get near her again .
Man : We re in the right place .
Josh : What are you doing here ? Please just leave .
Erica : Josh , this is Kendall s business .
Josh : Fusion , yeah . Babe and me , no .
Babe : It s ok , Josh . I m used to it .
Josh : Well , you should nt be .
Erica : Josh , we did nt mean to upset you .
Kendall : It s complicated .
Erica : Certainly , you know exactly what Babe did to your sister , Bianca .
Josh : My sister ? We share DNA , Erica . That does nt give you any rights as far as I m concerned .
Erica : I do nt expect any rights .
Kendall : My mom does nt want to upset you .
Josh : What your mother wants does nt matter . I took this job for Babe , not to bond with you .
Simone : Ok , who wants to veg out in front of Mid - day PA , watch our new ad , and tell me I m brilliant ?
Danielle : Or not .
Josh : I m up for it .
Danielle : Good . We ve got tons to catch up on . My life s one big bore fest , so be prepared to do all the talking .
Simone : Ok , later . Later , later . We ve got plenty of time for that . Yeah , actually I need to --
Erica : Josh , can we talk privately ?
Josh : You know what ? We ve been there , suffered through that . And only because Babe urged me to hear you out . You should thank her , really . You know , you do nt know what to say to the one person who does give a damn about me . Babe s never lied to me , she s never tried to -- to run my life or destroy it . See , you two have nothing in common .
Babe : Josh needs some alone time .
Erica : Do nt tell me what Josh needs .
Babe : Well , somebody obviously has to because you do nt listen to Josh .
Erica : Kendall , will you please go and check on your brother while I deal with this ?
Kendall : Yep .
Babe : What ? Ca nt say my name ?
Erica : Babe -- so close to a term of endearment . Sticks in my throat .
Ryan : I m thinking that you need some backup , some additional firepower to defend Zach and Dixie , ok ? That s what I m thinking . And I will underwrite anything -- anybody that you think that can help us .
Livia : Hmm . That s very generous of you . Why are you doing that ?
Ryan : Because Kendall does nt need any more hassle in her life , ok ? So if you run into problems with the defense , you bring them to me , no matter what , no matter what it costs , to get Zach and Dixie off .
Livia : You think they re guilty , do nt you ?
Zach : Our secret s out .
David : Just tell me straight out -- what the hell s going on between you two ?
Dixie : You said he knew .
Zach : Yeah , he s in denial .
David : This does nt make sense . You and Slater ? He s married to Kendall , Dixie . The guy barely grunts in complete sentences .
Zach : Maybe she s not interested in conversation .
David : Well , that would be a given . Tad I can almost understand . You two have a history together . It s like a bad habit . But this ? Him ? Come on , Dixie , tell me , please , this is a sick joke .
Zach : It s time for you to move on .
Dixie : No , no , no , no . It s ok , really . It s fine . Um -- David , Zach and I got close when he was helping me search for Kate , and I realized that he s a wonderful man .
David : Wait , wait a minute . Ok . I ve been helping you , too , Dixie . Quietly , behind the scenes . And not just because I want something in return , but because of the feelings that I have for you , which I have made very clear to you .
Dixie : Yes , and I understand that , and I appreciate all of your feelings and everything that you ve said . And thank you so much for understanding what I ve been through and how I ve needed someone , how much I needed someone to comfort me and -- and care for me in Europe and how I ve needed someone in my life .
David : Yeah , right , but someone who genuinely loves you .
Dixie : And I ve found that person .
Zach : And he s not you .
David : Shut up , Slater . This is between the two of us .
Dixie : Actually , it s not , anymore . Perhaps this is too soon to ask you for this , but I -- I hope that you can be happy for me . I was at my lowest point , and Zach gave me everything that I needed . He s made me feel happy and alive again .
David : You faithless slut .
Lily : If the judge declares me incompetent , my father would say and tell me what to do . He ll annul my marriage and keep my husband out of my life forever . I ll be miserable if I m not his wife .
Jack : Lily does not need you . In fact , she never needed you .
Jonathan : That s strange , because this whole time , I -- I thought this was about you hating me .
Jack : No , this is about me having only love for my daughter .
Jonathan : And pity . Oh , and pity . Because you ve got a lot of that . You just -- according to you , she s incompetent , she s different . She s not a little girl , Jack . And she s not your pet .
Jack : Oh , you insulting , condescending little son of a bitch .
Jonathan : She s autistic , so she thinks differently from other people . Her needs are nt the same as ours . But when I look at her , I m telling you , I see this ambitious --
Jack : I know what you see . You see somebody who ll believe any damn thing you say !
Jonathan : I see an amazing , intricate , a beautiful mind .
Jack : So do I , Jonathan . That s why I m not going to stand by and let you destroy her .
Jonathan : You do nt think a normal man can love your daughter ?
Jack : I do nt think there s one damn thing normal about you , Lavery .
Jonathan : I do love her . And I want to know how she feels about things . I want to know how she thinks . Jack , I want to help her through this life , because she s helped me so much .
Jack : Oh , you know what , Jonathan ? I do nt want to hear what she does for you .
Jonathan : Oh , Jack , she -- we sleep with a board between us . All right ? And when we do -- when she allows me to touch her hand , it s a miracle . But it s happened . It s happened . And as small as it is , when it does -- I do nt have the words to tell you -- I do nt have the -- how it makes me feel --
Jack : Well , I have the words to tell you how I feel . You do nt deserve my daughter .
Jonathan : Do nt you think I know that ? Come on . But I do love her . So I lied to her because we re great together . Oh , we really are . With me -- me , for the first time in Lily s life , she does nt feel alone . And now what do you want to do ? You want to -- you want to get rid of me ? You want to take her and you want to put her back in this little box ? So that she s alone again ? Tell her that she ca nt be independent , that she s incompetent ? That s she s not normal , that she s less than ? Who the -- what father does that to a daughter that he claims to love so much ?
Zach : You want me to throw him out ?
Dixie : No , no , no . No , no . Where do you get off ? Do you think you have some right to me ?
David : I loved you . Does that not mean anything to you ?
Dixie : I can be with Zach or Tad or some stranger from a convenience store , and you have nothing to say about it . You have no right to an opinion about my life . I have found someone that I can trust , that makes me feel alive and safe . There s nothing that you can give me , nothing that you can do for me anymore .
David : Really ? I can keep you out of prison for murdering Greg Madden . Or do you not care about that ?
Simone : It is sad when you have to work outside to get a little peace and quiet .
Danielle : If we had a pool up here , it d be perfect .
Simone : Hmm . You know what ? Why do nt you read me those customer postings from our site .
Danielle : Ahem .
Kendall : Hey .
Simone : Oh , not again .
Danielle : Let s go .
Kendall : I did nt know at first . Not for a long time . But then when Mom finally told me who you were , I -- I begged her not to tell you . I told her that you should never know .
Erica : Why Josh ? I mean , I guess because it s payback time . You know very well I could never forgive you for kidnapping my daughter s baby .
Babe : Interesting theory .
Erica : Well , then try this one on . Your interest in Josh is merely another attempt on your part to destroy my family .
Babe : Hmm . Must be a big responsibility -- you know , being the center of the universe , having the planets revolve around you .
Erica : Actually , yes . And it s so empowering .
Singer : With your hand you fan the fire you turn a spark into a flame
Man : Switch .
Singer : It laps the walls I built around me nothing would be the same
Lily : Can you get the judge back in here right now ?
Ryan : What s wrong ?
Amanda : I did nt get to say everything I wanted to on the stand . Now , I have gotten to know Jonathan really well , and he is completely amazing . Yeah , other guys -- they lie about loving and caring about you , but not him . He is completely into her , and he deserves to stay with her .
Lily : And I deserve that , too , right ?
Ryan : Yes , you do . Absolutely .
Amanda : Because you guys are what true love is all about . So I will retestify or give a deposition or whatever .
Livia : Thank you . I ll call you if I need you .
Lily : Thanks , Amanda . You re the best second - best friend any couple could ever ask for -- if Jonathan convinced my father we can still be a couple .
Jack : You ve certainly got a lot of nerve questioning my love for my daughter .
Jonathan : Lily is a responsibility to you .
Jack : No , Jonathan . Lily is a sacred trust to me that I take very seriously .
Jonathan : You want her to need you , more than she needs anyone in the entire world .
Jack : You do nt even know who Lily is . I swear -- you were nt there when Lily was a child hiding out in her own head . I was the first person she spoke a complete sentence to . I was the one that went to that school and brought her home so that she could live a life !
Jonathan : To -- to lock her in the apartment ? I want Lily to live everything that life has to offer !
Jack : Yes , yes , Jonathan , so do I , but not with you .
Jonathan : I m her husband .
Jack : Yes . Well , that s a mistake I m about to correct .
Jonathan : Jack , please , ok , I m beg-- I m begging you , please call this hearing off . If Lily is declared incompetent , it s -- it s going to crush all the faith that she has in herself .
Jack : You keep hammering away at me like this is my fault . Jonathan , I -- I did everything I could to accept this relationship .
Jonathan : Marriage . Marriage , ok ? Husband and wife .
Jack : Until I found out it was a total con job .
Jonathan : It was not a con , Jack .
Jack : Sure it was . You -- you re faking your condition . My daughter does nt have any idea who she s really married to . You know , everything that s happened , right up to and including this hearing , is your fault .
Jonathan : Because I m in love with your daughter ? Because I m in love with Lily ? This -- this is my fault ?
Jack : No , no , prove it . Prove your love for Lily . Walk away . Leave Lily right now .
David : I can save you , or I can watch you get convicted and thrown in jail for a very long time .
Zach : Hmm . Last time Dixie believed in you , you were supposedly helping her find Kate .
David : Tell him to get lost , or I turn my back on you for good .
Dixie : Take your threats and get out , David .
David : Fine . Enjoy the time you have together , because after the trial you re not going to be able to get your hands on each other until you re too old to remember what to do with them .
Dixie : Use it in the hall .
David : Hey , why wait ? Why not call Kendall , bring her into this love fest ?
Zach : I hate to spoil your fun , but Kendall knows all about it , courtesy of Tad .
David : She s going to be dumping your sorry ass before you know it .
Zach : Whatever helps you go to sleep at night . I got what I need .
Dixie : What the hell was that ?
Livia : You think Zach and Dixie killed Greg Madden , do nt you ?
Ryan : They pled not guilty , and I m going with that .
Livia : But you want me to come up with a fail - proof defense ?
Ryan : With the fingerprint evidence against Zach and the blood in Dixie s car , we need more .
Livia : Well , should I interview magicians ?
Ryan : You think this is funny ?
Livia : No , I m just trying to get a lock on how far you re willing to go to get them off .
Ryan : Well , you are the expert , Livia . I ll leave that up to you .
Livia : You would nt suggest jury tampering , bribing judges , anything else illegal , would you ?
Ryan : I would nt dream of telling you how to do your job , Livia . But I know that you will do whatever you have to do to protect your clients , and in return I will protect you .
Livia : You are scaring me , Ryan . I can not have you interfering with a very legitimate defense .
Ryan : Well , then I ll stay out of your way .
Livia : You do that . And do nt you do anything without confronting me first .
Ryan : You know what s funny ? It s how having a child can instantly redefine your life . I get it now . All of a sudden , I understand that I would do anything to help or protect my family .
Jonathan : If you call this hearing off right now , I ll tell her the truth . I ll tell her that I m -- that I m back mentally . But if Lily still wants me , if she still wants me around , then I do nt go , and we stay married . Do we have a deal ?
Jack : Sure , Jonathan , we have a deal . Because I know the minute you tell Lily that you were lying to her , making a fool of her , she ll never want to see you again .
Josh : I was nt supposed to find out I was your half brother .
Kendall : I did nt want you to go through all of this , not like I did -- and I m not saying it s the same . I know it s not . Erica gave me up for adoption .
Josh : Yeah , well , it was all right that you lived . I was nt even supposed to be born .
Kendall : Josh , you were nt you then . And -- and you know what ? I know exactly how you feel . The mother that I wanted to find did nt want anything to do with me .
Josh : Well , you managed to work it out . I do nt want to .
Kendall : All right . Well , that s your prerogative . Think about how you feel right now . Think about what finding out has done to you . Would you wish that on anyone else ? That s why I asked Mom not to tell you . I did nt think it would help you .
Josh : Well , it s been one interesting ride .
Kendall : It has taken me years to work through being the daughter that Erica Kane never wanted , watching her fawn all over Bianca .
Josh : Until you were accepted . Lucky you .
Kendall : Yeah , after I tried to ruin her life . Just so no one accuses you of redundant revenge , here is some of what I ve tried . I humiliated her in a Mommy - Dearest tell - all book . I set her up to nearly kill her then husband . Oh , and this one -- this one was very effective . I brought back , technically , my father , the guy who raped her .
Josh : Be tough to top that .
Kendall : No . Mom does have her weak moments , but they pass , so you got to stay strong . Keep whomping up that hurt and anger . Just repeat to yourself every day , She did nt want me , she did nt want me . You got to push her away , stay as mean and vile as you can .
Josh : Well , in the end , you failed .
Kendall : That s because Erica is a force of nature . She will never give up .
Josh : Well , Erica s my ex - boss -- that s the extent of our relationship -- and the only thing I want from her is to stay away from the woman that I actually care about .
Babe : Ooh , I m shaking . What , you think that you re so powerful you can take me down ? Bring it on .
Erica : Ok .
Babe : Look , I know that I made mistakes with Bianca and Miranda .
Erica : Mistakes ? You call kidnapping my daughter s baby a mistake ?
Babe : And for the millionth time , I am sorry . But no matter what you feel about me , Josh likes me , and he trusts me . And just for your information , this has nothing to do with you -- not to me -- it s about Josh .
Erica : And Josh is way too smart to ever trust you . I only want what s best for Josh .
Babe : Then how about you take about ten giant steps back and stop crowding him ?
Erica : So he can be with you ?
Babe : You are so unbelievable . You do nt just hold a grudge . You conceal it next to your heart like this concealed weapon and then pow . You know , it d actually be kind of funny if it were nt so sad and pitiful . You do nt forgive anyone , but you expect Josh to forgive you ?
Erica : You know what ? You simply have no idea what you re talking about . And tell me something -- why are you so concerned about a man who s not even your husband , Ms. Trailer Park ?
Babe : Well , excuse me , Ms. High - and - Mighty , how about you answer me this one little question ? Have you ever , ever in your life forgiven anyone for anything ? Anybody that truly needed your forgiveness ? I ll settle for just one , one name and date .
Erica : Oh , really , will you ? Well , you can spare me your psychobabble , and just know that your name will never be on my forgiveness list . Because you ve done too much to try to harm my family .
Bailiff : This court is back in session .
Judge : Be seated .
Lily : But Jonathan s not here yet .
Judge : So I see . Ms. Cudahy ?
Jack : Your Honor , if I may address the court ?
Judge : If it ll move things along .
Jack : It will , Your Honor . I d like to withdraw my petition to have my daughter declared incompetent .
Judge : Are you certain ? I will not revisit this action in the future .
Jack : Yes , Your Honor , I am . I ve given the matter considerable thought . The petition was a mistake , and I apologize for wasting the court s time .
Judge : Very well . The petition is withdrawn .
Lily : So what does this mean ? It s over ?
Judge : Yes , Mrs. Lavery . Your father regrets his mistake .
Bailiff : All rise .
Lily : It s over !
Livia : And Jonathan ?
Ryan : Yeah , where is my brother ?
Lily : Yeah , where s Jonathan ? I can be with him . We can go home now , right ?
Jack : Yeah , he s -- he s in the witness room right down the hall , first door on the right .
Lily : You did it , Jonathan ! You said you would , and you did ! But why did nt you come into the courthouse with Dad when he dropped the petition ? The judge ordered it , Jonathan . It s done , it s over , I m competent ! Now we can be together just as our vows said -- Till death do us part . Forever .
Ryan : He gave up a career , all right ? Jonathan gave up a regular life , because that s how much he loved Lily , and now Jack has rigged it so that he could lose her .
Erin : You know what , Ryan ? No matter what , Jonathan has done something wonderful . He puts Lily first , he always has . And you know what ? It s the same way that you put Kendall first .
Ryan : What ? I think you re confused , Erin .
Erin : Uh - uh . You love Kendall . You and Jonathan , you give me faith . No matter what issues people grow up with , they can come through it these amazing and unselfish human beings . You can love unconditionally .
Ryan : Until someone steps in and shoots that love to hell .
Lily : You understand what this means , do nt you , Jonathan ?
Jonathan : Oh , yeah -- no , I -- I understand .
Lily : You won , we won , and winners celebrate . Let s have milk and sugar cookies . And what else can we do ? Oh , we can dance , our way .
Jonathan : Li -- like that time that we danced at ConFusion . That was amazing . I m going to remember that my whole life .
Lily : Well , same here . That s one of my favorite things about being married to you , is the memories . And the newest ones seem to be the best , and we keep making more and more .
Jonathan : Yeah . Yeah , we do .
Lily : Is that the same thing for all couples , or is it just us , because we re so special ?
Jonathan : I do nt know . I do know that you ve given me the best memories of my life , like -- like the day that we got married , and -- and when you hugged me , when you really hugged me at -- at the hospital .
Lily : Of course , I remember that . I ll never forget that .
Jonathan : Me , either . You , right here . Your -- your hand was right here .
Lily : Over your heart . I could feel it beating . It s as close as I ll get to actually holding it .
Jonathan : You do hold my heart . You always will . What -- what I mean is the day that -- that I fell in love with you , I -- I lost my heart and I -- I gave it to you . It s yours now . I can still feel your hand right here on my chest . And everything that we ve ever done together and every minute , it s -- it s part of me now .
Lily : That s because it happened to both of us , and it s in your memory now .
Jonathan : Just when I -- I think I love you as much as I -- I possibly can , then -- then , like right now , you -- you come -- you come running through that door , and you re smiling and -- and I -- I fall in love with you even more .
Lily : That s because there s no limits or way to quantify love .
Jonathan : That s right . There are nt . You know how much I love you , do nt you ?
Lily : Yes , I do . As much as anyone can love anyone else -- that s what you say , and you always tell me the truth . I trust you . I trust you more than anyone . That s why we got married .
Jonathan : That -- uh -- that day that Terry and I got into that fight in New York , and -- and then we came back to Pine Valley and I collapsed in the park . At the hospital --
Lily : I was so scared . But why are nt we talking about this at home ?
Jonathan : Because I -- I needed to tell you that something happened that day .
Lily : No , Jonathan , it s over now , it s fine . We can go home and be happy .
Jonathan : Lily , I need to -- to tell you this -- I need to tell you this first . When I regained my consciousness , I was nt the same . Um -- the Jonathan that fell on the ground and had that seizure just was nt the same .
Lily : Because the headaches stopped .
Jonathan : The blow to -- to my head , it hurt me , but -- um -- it changed me , too . Lily , I m -- I m so sorry .
Lily : My dad was right . You ve been lying to me .
Livia : You consider this a victory , huh ?
Jack : I consider this my getting my daughter back .
Livia : Well , you may have succeeded at ruining what she has with Jonathan , but they really do love each other . I do nt see a win here , Jack , and the one who may lose most of all is Lily .
Jonathan : You re used to hearing me speak and watching me think and act in a certain way -- the way that I was when we were up in the tree house together , when we first met -- and you counted on that . And you said that -- how we fit together . I did nt want to take that away from you .
Lily : You lied . It was all an act .
Jonathan : Lily , I did nt want to upset you . I did nt want to set you back , because I still loved you . I do still love you . That s never changed . I think we re perfect together . I think that we -- we can still fit . We can still match . Lily ? Lily , please , just read my face . It ll tell you the truth -- I am only happy when I m with you . I still want to be with you , the same as always , if you ll let us be that way -- happily married , till death do us part ? Lily , nothing has to change if you let me go on being your husband . Will you still be my wife ?
Erica : Oh , my God ! Oh , my God !
Man : Hello , baby !
Erica : Who are you ? What are you doing ?
Man : Ow !
Zach : So that s it . The night that Greg Madden disappeared and was buried in his coffin , we were together all night . We ca nt keep it secret anymore , we have to make our alibi public .
Dixie : You really think the evidence can convict us ?
Zach : Yeah , I do , I think it can . What if they find more ?
Dixie : Do you realize this could ruin your marriage ? And we did nt sleep together .
Zach : What do you think 30 years in prison is going to do to my marriage ? And do nt worry , Kendall s onboard .
Dixie : Oh , you told her about this whole thing ?
Zach : Yeah , I did . She s cool about it .
Dixie : Even though I told her that I was falling for you ?
Kendall : I know so much information has hit you so fast . So just give yourself some time to --
Josh : Look , I never missed Erica . I never felt like I did nt belong . I m not you , Kendall , I do nt need her .
Kendall : Believe me the hatred mellows .
Josh : Look , if you want another sibling to bond with , go get Bianca back from Paris . I m not interested .
Kendall : Ok , listen , Mom is not the same person she was when she went to that clinic .
Josh : Who cares ?
Kendall : I think you do , and someday you ll be able to admit it . And just so you know , this whole thing -- the idea of you , the fact that she has a son now -- this is new to her , too .
Josh : Yeah , well , sure , given the lengths she went to prevent me from being born .
Kendall : Ok , listen to me . When your plane went down , Erica was terrified . Terrified . She -- she does nt want you gone . She wants to get to know you and do what she can for you .
Josh : That s nice , positive PR -- What an episode for New Beginnings .
Kendall : Mom does nt expect anything from you . You do nt have to come to us or even meet us halfway . Just consider letting us come to you .
Josh : Tell Babe I need to take care of some things .
Erin : Zach is standing in the way of you and Kendall , and you are still willing to do everything in your power to keep him out of prison , Ryan . And you know what ? If that s not the most insanely romantic , selfless kind of love , then I --
Ryan : No , no , no . Zach -- he makes Kendall happy --
TV announcer : Hot dish alert , Mid - day PA fans . Erica Kane s son - in - law is gambling -- with love and murder .
Simone : Oh , I thought they would never leave .
Danielle : Enough family drama for the day , we have work to do .

Danielle : I am so ready .
Simone : And we have liftoff .
Danielle : Bring on --

TV announcer : The proof ? They were caught in a steamy clinch .
Kendall : Is that -- our new commercial s on ?
Simone : Uh -- actually --
Kendall : What s wrong with it ? Get -- get out of my way . Seriously , what is wrong with it ? Come on , move .
Reporter : Miss Hart , does your husband s betrayal mean the end of your marriage ?
Kendall : You want to find out about my marriage ? Come on with me , guys , we ll find out together . Come on . It s going to be good .
Kendall : You should have stayed dead .

Jack : All right , uh ... eve , I know that you re -- you re upset about my decision .
Eve : No , I wanna talk about the decision that I made about us .
Haley : Claire ?
Claire : Damn you , haley ! You know , you were supposed to be gone for good . But now I see you are living in my home , and sleeping in my bed with my boyfriend .
Haley : Your boyfriend ? No , this is nt tripp , this is jj -- jj , wake up . Jj ...

Tripp : Hey , hey , hey , what s going on ? What s going on ? What s going on ?
Haley : Where s jj ?
Tripp : He left for work . He did nt wanna wake you . Why were you screaming ?
Haley : I had a nightmare . I had a nightmare about claire . It was so real . It was so real . She was standing right over there , she had a lighter in her hand , she broke out of bayview to find me , because I ruined her life . I thought she was gon na kill us .
Tripp : Us ? What ?
Haley : You were in there too . Tripp , I thought we were gon na die .
Jj : Hey , mom .
Jennifer : Hey .
Jj : Hey . Jennifer : Hi . Jj : What are you doing here ?
Jennifer : Well , I was in the area , and I thought I would drive by and stop in , see how you re doing . How s the new digs ?
Jj : It s a little weird being in the loft , in claire s old room . So I do nt know . Haley was tossing and turning all night , but she was able to get to sleep when I left this morning .
Jennifer : Good . I m sorry it s been hard . Haley s been through a lot . It s gon na take her awhile to settle in .
Jj : Mm - hmm . It s because of dad and his disgusting wife .
Jack : You ve made a decision ?
Eve : I have .
Jack : You re actually considering resigning as my commissioner after all ?
Eve : Well , it s a little more personal than that .
Jack : [ Groans ] Look , eve . I know -- I know that you re upset about my wanting to get my memory back . And I ve promised you again and again that if I take the serum and it works , my love for you is gon na be just as strong as it is right now . But if I m asking too much , if you re gon na ask me for a separation or a divorce--
Eve : I did nt come here to break up with you . I came here to apologize .
Xander : We re gon na be housemates . What a lovely surprise .
Sarah : Why is that surprising ?
Xander : Well , I thought you were happy with your living arrangements . You and your husband and his brother all shacked up in eric s crappy little apartment . That s the impression you gave everyone .
Sarah : What s your point ?
Xander : Well , if you re so thrilled being this cozy little trio , why are you suddenly moving out ?
Rex : Do you have any idea why sarah wanted to move out today ?
Eric : You know what , you d have to ask her .
Rex : No , I did . She said she wants some privacy . But we re moving into the kiriakis mansion , which has a ton of people , including her mom , who hates me .
Eric : Yeah , and what did she say ?
Rex : She said it s only temporary . To which I responded , why do nt we just stay here while we look for a place of our own ? But she was nt having it .
Eric : Yeah , well , maybe it s about maggie . I mean , you know she s been worried about her , so maybe she wanted to be closer so they can spend more time together .
Rex : I do nt know . I do think there s another reason , and I think it has to do with you .
Eric : Why would sarah want to move out because of me ?
Rex : Well , she just thinks we re being insensitive , you know , rubbing our newlywed bliss in your face when you re still heartbroken over nicole .
Eric : You have nt done that at all .
Rex : Well , she thinks we have ever since we got back together again .
Eric : What do you mean ?
Rex : Do you remember when i re - proposed to her and she turned me down for the exact same reason ? She said she did nt want to plan our future together or plan a wedding or get married when you were in so much pain .
Eric : Listen , rex , I m fine . Listen , you and sarah have nt done anything , okay ?
Rex : I still feel bad about it , okay ? I just love sarah so much , and sometimes I just have to show it and , you know , sarah s an amazing woman--
Eric : You do nt have to explain .
Rex : All I m trying to say is sarah and I try to be respectful of your feelings , and we do nt always succeed in that .
Eric : I m happy that you re both happy .
Rex : But what she said last night about you being invited over ? It s gon na happen a lot .
Eric : That s great .
Rex : And we re here for you , not just for movie night and , you know , for dinners . We know how hard it s been for you without nicole , and we support you .
Eric : And I appreciate it .
Rex : Yeah . I really hope that you and nicole can work something out . And if not , I hope you can move on , because you deserve to be happy , as happy as sarah makes me . If you re not ready for that-- okay , I understand , but in the meantime , this is important . I m here for you . You want somebody to watch a game with , drink a beer with , you need me to show you how to make a proper burger , I m just a phone call away .
Eric : Thanks , means a lot .
Xander : Look , I m no expert on marriage , but it does nt seem like a great idea for newlyweds to move in with family , especially when your mum hates your hubby s guts .
Sarah : That s not true anymore , and also none of your concern .
Xander : You re a bit prickly today , are nt we ?
Sarah : Yes , we are . We have a major bone to pick with you .
Tripp : It was just a bad dream , okay ? It was just a bad dream .
Haley : I m so sorry for waking you .
Tripp : Hey , hey , no , that s -- it s okay . I m just glad you re okay . All right ? Yeah , hey , come on . I ll make you some breakfast , all right ?
Jj : I read your op - ed about dad . Bet he s not happy about it .
Jennifer : Uh , yeah , that s an understatement . He revoked my press pass .
Jj : What ?
Jennifer : I know . And then I told him that the old jack would be disgusted by him and then we got in a huge fight and he said he got tired of hearing what a good man the old jack was and I told him that he was a coward , because he did nt really wanna know who he is .
Jj : Yeah , he is a coward and a bully .
Jennifer : Yeah . And then I pushed it too far , and he decided that he was never going to take that serum .
Jj : What about his memories ?
Jennifer : Jj , I have tried-- I have tried everything since he came back into lives . Now he has the option to remember his past , and he does nt wanna do it , okay ? He s perfectly happy with the life that he has .
Jj : Being married to that witch ? Give me a break .
Jennifer : You know , I spoke to hope yesterday , and we were just talking about closure . And I really hate that maybe this is the way this story is ending , but this is your dad s choice , and I need to accept it .
Jj : Is that what you want ?
Jennifer : It does nt matter what I want , honey . This is what I have to do . I ca nt keep fighting for something that I can never have . So I need to make the decision to move on . And trust me , that is easier said than done .
Jack : I thought you were gon na serve me with divorce papers .
Eve : Jack , why would I do that ?
Jack : Well , despite my repeated assurances , you seem convinced that my wanting to get my memory back has something to do with jennifer , which it doesnT. Do you believe me now ?
Eve : I have decided that I am gon na let go of my insecurities .
Jack : That s not exactly a yes .
Eve : You know , you re gon na do whatever you re gon na do whether I like it or not , so rather than fight you on this , I want to support you .
Jack : That does nt sound like the eve that I know and love .
Eve : Well , it is me , jack . It s a part of me . That part that you saw last night , full of anger and doubt , well , yeah , that is me . But the other part of me , the part that is a fighter , who s fierce , who s passionate ... that s the me that fights for who they love , cause I love them with all my heart . Like I did my beautiful daughter paige .
Jack : Honey , please , I know , I know , I know , I know .
Eve : And you know , jack , I ve had to survive probably the greatest pain any person should ever have to endure , losing your child . And all I have left are my beautiful memories of my daughter , and they mean the world to me . If I lost them , I would do everything I possibly could to get them back . And now you have that opportunity to get your memories back of your children and to reconnect with them and build new memories and ... well , I wanna support you on that , okay ? So I just wanna tell you that I m sorry . I m really sorry , and I just want you to do whatever you need to do now .
Jack : Are you sure ?
Eve : I love you so much , jack . I love you so much , and I do nt wanna lose you .
Jack : You wo nt , not ever .
Eve : What ?
Jack : I got ta show you something . This ... this was just delivered a little bit ago .
Eve : What is it ?
Jack : It s the serum .
Tripp : You know , I ve been told I make a pretty mean omelet .
Haley : Oh , yeah ? What s your secret ?
Tripp : Farm - fresh eggs . But you know , this is nt just any farm , all right ? This place is incredible . They have cows , pigs , chickens , obviously , and these giant rabbits . Like , they can grow up to , like , four - feet tall .
Haley : Yeah , you re never gon na let that go , are you ?
Tripp : No , I am not . But one farm - fresh omelet . And I hope that it lives up to the hype .
Haley : Well , let s see about that . Wow , this is-- this is really , really good .
Tripp : Yeah ? [ Loud grunt ]
Claire : I m back .
Haley : [ Panting ] Oh , my god ! Oh , my god , tripp ! No , oh , my god ! Oh , my god !
Tripp : Haley , haley , haley . Hey , hey , hey , hey , it s okay . It s okay , it s okay .
Haley : She s back !
Tripp : Who ? Who ? Who ? Who ?
Haley : Claire s back ! She was--
Tripp : No , she s not . No , no , no , no , no , no , no .
Haley : She was just over there . She had a knife and she stabbed you in the--
Tripp : Hey , haley , hey , hey , hey , here look at me . Look at me , look at me . Hey , hey , I m fine . I m fine , I m fine . None of that was real , okay ? None of that was real .
Haley : Thank god for that , but I swear I just saw her do it , claire . I saw her do it , tripp .
Tripp : No - no - no , I -- I-- I think I know why , okay ? Haley , you might-- you might have ptsd , okay ?
Haley : [ Panting ]
Jj : I have to finish my shift , but I am here for you . And I support your decision to move on . Forget dad . He does not deserve you .
Jennifer : I love you so much .
Jj : I love you too .
Jennifer : Have a good day .
Jj : Thank you .
Jennifer : Henry , I understand if you never wanna speak to me again , but can i just have five minutes ?
Henry : Guess that s not asking too much .
Eve : Oh , no , jack . That serum is not fda approved . If somebody finds out that you re dealing in black market drugs , you re the mayor , you re gon na be in a world of trouble .
Jack : No , no , no , no , no . I ve taken every precaution . The lab that manufactured the serum is private , and it was addressed to a third party . Everything in this box is completely untraceable .
Eve : Well , are you sure it s safe ?
Jack : Absolutely , this lab is known for its work and for its discretion . Now look , I included rolf s diary so that they can work from the original formula . No photocopies , no transcriptions , no room for error , all right ? And right here we have the antidote , right ? It was made up from the notes from the hospital . I m gon na keep it right next to me , not that I m gon na need it . And then , of course , right here we have ...
Eve : What s that ?
Jack : Uh , this is the notes for , um ... this is the notes for self - injection .
Eve : No , no , no , no , no , jack , no , no . If you re gon na do this , we need to get a real doctor over here .
Jack : Oh , no , no , no , no , no . No one from the hospital can be involved in this in any way , so I ll have to do it myself . I m a little nervous about it , but , you know , I really do nt have any other choice .
Eve : Yes , you do . I ll do it . I ll help you do it .
Eric : [ Grunts ] Hey , do nt forget that .
Rex : Oh , you know what ? Um , you keep it . It classes up your man cave .
Eric : No , no I ca nt keep it . It was a wedding gift to you and sarah from kayla .
Rex : Yeah , I ll make a copy for sarah and me . It s not a big deal , really .
Eric : Sure .
Rex : Yeah , no problem . It s something to remember us by . [ Chuckles ] Let s go .
Xander : What did I do ?
Sarah : You almost killed my mother - in - law .
Xander : Oh , that .
Sarah : Yeah , oh , that . And you know what ? I have been trying to convince rex that you re not that bad of a guy , and then I find out this . That you kidnap his mom and that ted guy and then you lock them in room and you just leave them there to die . I mean , that s the most heartless and cruel thing I have ever heard in my--
Xander : It was all her idea .
Sarah : Who s her ?
Xander : Did I say her idea ? Slip of the tongue . I meant to say his idea . I was talking about stefan , obviously . He came up with the whole plan .
Sarah : But you went along with it .
Xander : Oh , actually , I was just pretending to go along with it . Meanwhile , I had my own plan to bring stefan down . I played the vicious mercenary when all the while I was secretly keeping ted and kate alive , bringing them food and water , leaving a trail for hope to find them . And now that it s all over , I can give the da testimony that will put stefan away for good .
Sarah : Oh , so you re the hero ?
Xander : Heh . All I want , all I ve ever wanted is the respect of my family . And yeah , I think I deserve it now I ve destroyed their main rival . And I regret if anyone had to suffer along the way , but my only motivation was to protect the kiriakis legacy and prove myself to victor and brady .
Sarah : I know them better than you do . And they may be ruthless in business , but they would never condone what you did .
Xander : My mission was a huge success .
Sarah : The only thing that you were successful in was making yourself look bad in everyone s eyes , including mine .
Tripp : All right , come on .
Haley : Ptsd ? But the fire was weeks ago , and you re fine -- you re fine . You went through the same thing .
Tripp : Everyone deals with trauma differently , all right ? It s all about the chemicals in your brain , okay ? Hey , hey , hey , hey , hey , look . Look , ptsd is very , very common , and it s very treatable , all right ? Look , before we jump to any conclusions , we should probably take you to the hospital , get you a real diagnosis--
Haley : No - no - no , jj s working there today , and he ca nt know about this . Tripp , he ca nt know anything about this .
Tripp : Why not ? Why not , huh ?
Haley : Well , because he s already done too much for me , and I do nt want him to worry . That s the last thing I need right now . Tripp , I ca nt tell him , okay ?
Tripp : Okay , well , you need to talk someone , all right ? Maybe kayla . Maybe she can write you a prescription for a mild sedat--
Haley : After my suicide attempt ? Do you know how many red flags that ll raise ? That could just -- I could lose my job doing that . That could jeopardize my chance at getting a green card .
Tripp : Well , you need to let someone help you .
Haley : No , I ll find a way to handle this on my own .
Jennifer : I really just want to apologize for how i treated you in the past and why I asked you out to dinner just out of the blue .
Henry : It was unexpected . I honestly did nt think I d ever hear from you again .
Jennifer : Please do nt take my silence as indifference , henry . I liked you -- I do . I still do like you .
Henry : Oh , I liked you too . But I have to ask , what happened this time ?
Jennifer : Sorry ?
Henry : You dumped me for your ex - husband .
Jennifer : Henry , jack was the love of my life , and I really thought that I had lost him forever . So when he walked into that party with eve , I literally felt like the world stopped spinning . And I know that probably was so awkward for you , and so confusing . But jack and I built a life together , we have children , we have grandchildren , and I was just wanting to see if there was another chance for us .
Henry : And ?
Jennifer : And I tried for months , but jack made it very clear that he is not interested in me or the life that he had with me . He s happily married , and I need to accept that and move on .
Henry : Oh , with me ?
Jennifer : Well , I m not saying to jump into a relationship , but hey , if you re not seeing anyone ...
Henry : I m not .
Jennifer : So maybe it would be fun to go out and , you know , see how it goes . But I totally understand if you re not interested .
Henry : I m interested . You know I am . The question is , are you ?
Jennifer : I just said I would love to spend some time together .
Henry : But is that because you really wanna be with me , or am I just a consolation prize ?
Jack : Are you sure ?
Eve : Jack , yes I m sure . I told you I was gon na let go of all of my insecurities , and now it s time that I show you I meant it .
Jack : Eve , you do nt have to do this .
Eve : I know I do nt have to do this , but I wanna do this . This is something really big , jack , and I do nt want you to have to do this alone . I made a vow when we married . For better or worse , sickness and in health . So ... here I am .
Xander : I swear if hope had nt gotten to ted and kate , I was gon na save them . I mean , does nt that count for anything ?
Sarah : Nope !
Xander : You have to believe me . I really am a good person . I feel terrible that I ve disappointed you . Please , sarah . There must be some way I can get back into your good graces .
Sarah : There might be one thing .
Xander : Name it .
Sarah : Move out .
Tripp : Look , I do nt mean to push , but going through ptsd on your own ...
Haley : I can handle it .
Tripp : Okay , all right , look . Look , I know you wanna keep it private , but any doctor that you see , all right , will--
Haley : For the last time , tripp , I m not talking to kayla .
Tripp : Well , then what about dr . Evans ? You ve talked to--
Haley : That s not happening .
Tripp : Okay , then I ll find you a doctor out of town . I ll drive you to chicago .
Haley : Oh , my god , are you listening ? How many times do I have to tell you no doctors , okay ? Now , will you just please back off ?
Tripp : Yeah , sorry . I ll stop . But look , haley , you are exhausted . Will you at least try to get some sleep ? I think it ll help .
Haley : I -- I just -- I do nt know if I can , especially in claire s bedroom .
Tripp : Okay , well , then you can sleep in my room . Let me just grab some clothes for work , and you can have some peace and quiet , but you need to promise me , hey , promise me that you ll call if you need me , okay ?
Haley : Yeah , yeah , I will .
Tripp : All right .
Haley : Tripp , thank you .
Xander : I m not going anywhere . This is my home too . And now that I ve single- handedly annihilated titan s biggest rival , I have every intention of staying here and claiming my rightful place in this family .
Rex : Do you mind giving us a hand with this ?
Xander : I ll pass .
Sarah : Xander thinks grunt work is beneath him .
Rex : Really ? Did nt you used to be a gardener ?
Xander : That was ages ago .
Rex : Well , you ll be digging up the dirt in no time after what you did to my mother . In fact , victor s not gon na be too happy with you locking her up and leaving her for dead .
Xander : I m not having this argument again .
Rex : I can not believe that you got immunity . Just looking at you makes me sick .
Sarah : Yeah , well , seeing as we all feel that way , I asked xander to move out , but he declined .
Rex : You made be living in this house , but as of today , so do I. So I ll be watching you .
Xander : As opposed to watching women you can cheat on sarah with ?
Rex : You say her name one more time , and I will end you . Understand ? In fact , I m gon na end you no matter what , because it s only a matter of time before you slip up again . And when you do , I ll nail you to the wall .
Xander : You re the one who s gon na slip up . You were with the most wonderful woman , who for some reason agreed to marry you after you betrayed her twice .
Rex : I m warning you . You shut your mouth .
Xander : We all know you re gon na cheat again . And when you do , when you fall back in the sack with her sister again , or put another baby in another woman , you ll be out on your ass . And your poor broken - hearted wife will once again have no choice but to look elsewhere for comfort .
Rex : [ Grunts ]
Jennifer : Henry , you are definitely not a consolation prize . But I can understand why you feel that way .
Henry : We went out twice . And both times it quickly became apparent that you were only with me because you could nt be with the man you really wanted to be with , and that hurt .
Jennifer : I know . And again , I am so sorry , and I know how that feels . But when I made a decision to move on , you were the only person that I wanted to see .
Henry : Why ?
Jennifer : Because you re really kind , and you re smart , and you re very handsome . And I just think it would be nice to spend some time together . That s why I thought it would be wonderful if we could have dinner .
Henry : It s true , I am handsome . [ Both laugh ] But we only go out on holidays . Valentine s day , new year s eve . What s july 24th ?
Jennifer : You know , I had a feeling that you were gon na say that , so before I called you , I looked it up , and today is national tequila day , tell an old joke day , five random meetings day , and it s my friend mary jo s birthday .
Henry : Wow , well , obviously , we need to celebrate mary jo s birthday , and , uh , maybe do some tequila shots before dinner .
Jennifer : Okay , I ll make you a deal . I will call doug s , make us a reservation for 7 : 00 for our random meeting . I will gather up all the old jokes I can find , and I will have you rolling with laughter by dessert , guaranteed .
Henry : Good .
Jack : Thank you , nurse .
Eve : You re welcome .
Jack : You know ... your support , that s the real gift .
Eve : If I can give you back the memory of your children , that s the greatest gift that I can give you . So , you feel anything ?
Jack : Uh ...
Eve : I mean , I m sure it s gon na take a while for it to probably kick in .
Jack : Right , right . Um , so , uh , I do nt know . I probably -- I ca nt sit around here , I ll go nuts , so ...
Eve : Okay .
Jack : I ll tell you what . I am gon na go to the office , and I ll do some work and take my mind off my mind .
Eve : Oh , you know what , jack , I ll go with you .
Jack : You know , you ve been up all night . I think you should just stay here and just relax , kick back . This has been a real stress for you too . And you , you have-- you ve stood by me through all of this . I mean , any other woman would ve just given up on me a long time ago .
Eve : I m never , ever gon na give up on you , jack .
Jack : All right . I ll let you know what happens .
Eve : Okay .
Jack : Yeah .
Rex : Hey , come on !
Eric : You get out . Get out now !
Xander : I should press charges for assault .
Sarah : Rex did nt touch you .
Xander : Do nt say I did nt warn you . And when you need that comfort , and you will , you ll know where to find me . Right here in my home .
Sarah : Are you okay ?
Rex : Yeah , yeah , I m fine . I m so sorry I lost it .
Sarah : No , you do nt have to apologize , he provoked you .
Rex : Eric , thank you for jumping in like that . I was gon na kill that guy . I just -- I need a minute . Cool off .
Eric : You know what , let me give you a hand .
Rex : No , no , you know , eric , really , thank you . I appreciate it , but just give me a little time .
Sarah : Thank you for breaking that up . I mean , when am I gon na learn to keep my mouth shut ?
Eric : You did nt do anything wrong .
Sarah : No , I asked xander to move out .
Eric : He should move out .
Sarah : Well , he never will , so I just made him angrier for no reason .
Eric : Do nt worry about xander , and yes , you are right . He will screw up things , and rex will be there to catch him . Do nt let him get between what you and rex have and , that s too much happiness to think about that loser .
Sarah : You always know the right thing to say . I m gon na miss you so much .
Eric : Yeah , I m gon na miss you .
Eric : What I meant was that I ll miss you both .
Sarah : Right , yeah , we -- well miss you too , and we ll all miss each other .
Eric : So , I guess this is goodbye .
Sarah : Yeah .
Eric : Do nt be a stranger .
Tripp : Dr. Shah . I m tripp dalton , kayla johnson s stepson . I used to work here .
Henry : Right .
Tripp : I was hoping you could help me out with something , a medical issue .
Henry : What s going on ?
Tripp : I m just dealing with some anxiety , having trouble sleeping . And I was just wondering if you can give me a prescription to help me get through this rough patch , like a mild sedative or something ?
Henry : Mm - hmm .
Haley : [ Sighs ] Okay , just get some sleep tonight .
Claire : [ Laughs ] If you think for a split second that I m gon na let you sleep in my boyfriend s bed , you are crazier than I am .
Haley : Oh , my god , get away from me .
Claire : Oh , they re gon na lock you up at bayview , haley , right next to me . And then I m gon na finish you off .
Haley : No , you wo nt !
Jj : Haley , what s wrong ?
Jack : Oh , jennifer , I am so glad that I ran into you--
Jennifer : Excuse me , I have errands that I need to run .
Jack : Well , please -- please . There s something I need to tell you , and it s really important .
Eve : What the hell do you want ?
Xander : I just came to see if everything went as planned .
Eve : Well , you should nt be here , so get out of here .

### Dialogue:
Lily : Hey . We re not late , are we ?
Cane : No , not if we leave right now , okay ?
Tyler : Lily , hey . Glad I caught you . Jack just called . He wants you to go over the ideas I just pitched him for the second wave of the fragrance campaign .
Lily : Right now ?
Tyler : Afraid so . It s the number crunchers . They want to get cracking on production costs .
Lily : Well , we re on our way to a meeting .
Tyler : This ll take 20 minutes , tops .
Cane : I ll go stall Chloe and Chelsea , all right ? Make it as soon as you can .
Lily : Okay . I ll be as fast as I can .
Cane : All right .
Lily : Bye . [ Sighs ] Okay , well , make this quick , please .
Leslie : So , now that it s just the two of us ...
Neil : Mmm . Just the way I like it .
Leslie : [ Chuckles ] How do you really feel about Jack coming back to Jabot ?
Neil : Mm . Not sure yet . You know , I was just starting to get my bearings when he fired me . Then he rehired me , then he put me in charge of the new divi-- you know this whole story , right ? But I m good , I am . I m gaining my bearings again . You okay ? You seem a little ... distracted . I do nt know , troubled ?
Leslie : No . Like I told you before , that s all you . Just all atwitter at having a new man in my life . You know , you tried to sell me that bill of goods the first time we talked . And I m not buying it this time .
Chelsea : [ Sighs ]
Cane : Hello . You okay ? Is everything all right ?
Summer : I got your gazillion and one messages .
Fenmore : And you re just now tracking me down ?
Summer : Yeah . I was sick , and then I heard .
Fenmore : What ?
Summer : That you were the one that pushed Jamie off of the roof .
Fenmore : And you thought I could do that ?
Summer : I do nt know what to think about you anymore .
Fenmore : You are the one who changes your mind every second . Look , you hated Jamie , and then you liked him . You kissed me , and now you re afraid of me ?
Summer : Yeah , well , I do nt --
Fenmore : I was stupid for falling in love with you . You have messed up everything .
Michael : Can I get you anything ? A sandwich , maybe ?
Jamie : Just my stuff .
Paul : Jamie , I brought you over here hoping that you d be able to tell us about ... about when you were hurt . You think you might be up for that ?
Jamie : I do nt want to . It s over . I just ...
Michael : It s okay , Kiddo . [ Sighs ] You ve been through a horrible ordeal . We all feel for you . But you got to fill in the blanks for us . We need to know what really happened .
Lauren : Tell them the truth , Jamie -- that Fen had nothing to do with you falling off the roof .
Chelsea : Do most business meetings start this way ?
Cane : Sure . Yeah , they do . That s why executives have these big corner offices -- so no one can hear them have these little meltdowns .
Chelsea : [ Chuckles ]
Cane : That s for you .
Chelsea : Thanks .
Cane : I know starting a business can be overwhelming .
Chelsea : Yeah , especially when your personal life is crashing down around you . But that s not your problem .
Cane : So ... how about we chalk these up to tears of excitement ?
Chelsea : Good idea .
Cane : Okay ? Good idea .
Chelsea : Um , so , let s get started . Where s Lily ?
Cane : She s in a meeting , but Billy has told me about your designs , and I m really looking forward to seeing them .
Chelsea : There they are . So ... what do you think ?
Cane : I think they re dynamic . I think they re well - crafted . And I m having a hard time believing they re yours .
Chelsea : Because a former con artist with no training could nt possibly have a secret talent she d been waiting her entire life to show ?
Tyler : You know , I really liked your take on those perspective changes .
Lily : Well , it ll be amazing even without the changes , so good job , guy .
Tyler : I do nt know . It s like your ideas -- they always make me , like , think and consider . I mean , hell , you were into Esmeralda Spalding before she even hit the map .
Lily : Okay , well , you have a slide show of Gordon Parks as your screen saver , so what can I say ?
Tyler : Both got great taste , huh ?
Lily : I guess we do .
Tyler : Try hitting a different floor .
Lily : [ Breathing heavily ] Oh , God .
Tyler : Hello ?
Lily : We re stuck . This is --
Tyler : Hello ? Is anybody there ? The elevator just stopped between floors six and seven . Hello ?
Lily : Everybody s probably already gone for the day . They re probably gone .
Tyler : No . There s still got to be , like , maintenance and security people here .
Lily : Oh , my God .
Tyler : Come on , damn it . Somebody answer . Hello ?
Lily : Okay , okay , okay , okay . You know what ? We re just gon na have to wait here until somebody comes back , and then they ll hear us , okay ?
Tyler : No . No , that s not gon na work for me .
Lily : What s wrong ?
Tyler : Nothing . I m fine . [ Breathing raggedly ]
Lily : Well , you do nt seem fine . Are you claustrophobic or -- ?
Leslie : Okay , so , I m a little off , and you jump to me hiding something from you ? I mean , how paranoid are we ?
Neil : [ Laughs ] Is that how I m coming across ?
Leslie : Yes . And we ve only been dating a hot minute .
Neil : Can I be honest with you about something ? I -- Leslie , I - I feel this connection with you , I do . I feel a very solid connection .
Leslie : Aww . Okay , see , now , that was sweet . I see you digging yourself out of the hole . That s what you re doing . [ Chuckles ]
Neil : And , really , because of that connection , when we were here for that meeting and then you suddenly had to run off and --
Leslie : I forgot something at the office .
Neil : Right , and you told me that , but ever since then , I ve detected , like , this -- this subtle , um ... how shall I -- shift in -- in your behavior .
Leslie : Mm - hmm .
Neil : Am I imagining things ?
Leslie : No .
Neil : So , then , the next question will be , did I do something wrong ?
Leslie : No . Oh , my goodness . You are doing everything right . Neil , I love it that you worry about me and -- and feel connected .
Neil : Because I want you to know that I feel like I can be totally open with you , that I do nt have to hide anything . How does that strike you ?
Leslie : Um , like you are describing a pretty serious relationship . I mean , are we -- are we at that stage yet ?
Neil : I would , uh ... [ Smooches ] I would like to get in that stage .
Leslie : I could , uh , probably tell you anything , and you would nt judge .
Neil : Is there something that you want to tell me ?
Summer : You are so not in love with me , Fen .
Fenmore : Could you not tell me how I feel ? I did love you . I would have done anything for you . But you used me ... because you are -- you re -- you re -- you re selfish and vindictive .
Summer : I am not selfish .
Fenmore : [ Scoffs ]
Summer : Okay , yeah . You re right . I was selfish , and ... yeah , I used you , but that was before , Fen .
Fenmore : Before you got into Jamie ?
Summer : No , before these past few months , Fen . Okay , with everything that s happened to me and my family , I ve -- I ve really grown up a lot . And I really just want to make up for all this rotten stuff that I ve done , and ... and I think that you need to , too , Fen .
Fenmore : What have I done ?
Summer : Everybody has been saying that you pushed Jamie off of that roof . Is that right ?
Fenmore : You would nt believe me even if I told you the truth , so why should I waste my time ?
Michael : You know you have to be easy on the boy .
Lauren : Jamie ... I m sorry .
Jamie : It s okay .
Lauren : We re not here to lay blame or -- or point fingers . We just ...
Paul : Jamie , can you tell us about that day ?
Jamie : Well , after I left here ...
Fenmore : Could you tell them what really happened ? Tell them I did nt push you .
Jamie : Get me out of here , please .
Fenmore : So , now you re running ?
Michael : Stop it . Stop it !
Jamie : I ca nt stay here .
Michael : Jamie .
Paul : I ll stick with him , okay ? Jamie , hold on a second . Jamie .
Fenmore : So , he gets to accuse me , and then he bolts .
Lauren : Fen , please .
Fenmore : How is that fair ?
Michael : Okay , you tell us . Tell us , what happened on that roof ?
Fenmore : How do you even know I was there ?
Lauren : We saw your pictures , the ones with Jamie and the stolen items in his backpack .
Fenmore : Well , see ? See ? That proves he stole something --
Michael : No , it proves you were on the roof , that you were with him . The more you lie , Fenmore , the harder it s gon na be on you if charges --
Fenmore : Would you calm down ? Are you gon na prosecute me now ? Your own son ?
Michael : Okay , you tell us . You tell us , then . What is the truth ? What happened ?
Leslie : Everybody has baggage , you know ? Nobody has a perfect past .
Neil : Including me .
Leslie : And , um , sometimes , to get away from things , people have to reinvent themselves , start new lives in new places .
Neil : Yeah , yeah , for sure . I can relate to that .
Leslie : Yeah .
Neil : Is that what brought you to Genoa City or ... ?
Leslie : I needed a fresh start .
Neil : From ... ?
Leslie : A broken home . My mom died when I was young . And I had a terrible , abusive father .
Neil : Oh , Leslie .
Leslie : Yeah . Tyler and I -- we just -- we got away from him as soon as we could .
Neil : I am so sorry . I apologize . I certainly did nt mean for you to talk about things that you re trying to forget . I m sorry about that .
Leslie : That s okay . Um ... so , uh ... that , uh , no - secrets place ...
Neil : Yeah . We re kind of --
Leslie : I d like to get there .
Neil : We re almost there .
Leslie : And if it takes a while , a long while ...
Neil : I m patient . I still want to be here , in your life , when you think you re ready .
Leslie : I want that , too .
Cane : What I should have said was that your sketches are so polished , it looks like they were done by someone who was trained , someone who studied the human form . That s what I should have said . I m sorry .
Chelsea : [ Sighs ]
Cane : Can you tell me how you learned to do this ?
Chelsea : Taught myself ... on the road , when I was traveling with my mother when we were on the grift . I would stay up late at night hiding under the covers with a flashlight , making drawings of women in beautiful clothes that I created ... clothes I dreamed that , one day , I would eventually have enough money to actually make and actually wear .
Cane : Can we start this again ? Do you mind if we do that , so I just do nt say the wrong thing like I did before ? I m sorry .
Chelsea : Okay , let s do that .
Cane : Okay .
Chelsea : So , why are we having this meeting ? What do you want ?
Cane : I want to give you everything you imagined when you were a little girl . I want to make your dreams come true .
Michael : I m not accusing you .
Fenmore : Go to hell , Dad .
Lauren : How could you do that ?
Michael : Oh , well , I m trying to find out what s really going on , Lauren .
Lauren : Really ? Really ? By yelling at him ? By threatening him ?
Michael : That s the only thing that s worked !
Lauren : [ Sighs ] You know what ? We , uh , we all just need to relax and calm down , and then Fen is gon na tell us exactly what really happened .
Michael : We need to be ready .
Lauren : For what ?
Michael : For the possibility that our son has done something truly horrible .
Paul : I know you re scared and angry , but you should think very carefully about making charges against Fen .
Jamie : He hurt me . I m not lying about that .
Paul : Nobody said you were .
Jamie : That s what Lauren thinks .
Paul : Jamie , she does nt know what to think . We re trying to get a clear idea on what went down that night . So ... help me understand .
Jamie : How ? Nobody can just understand what it s like to live like this . It never stops , the bullying -- constantly , everywhere -- at school , on my phone , in my face , everywhere .
Paul : Okay . That sounds like torture . Jamie , what can I do to get you to trust me ? How can I get you to see me as a friend ?
Summer : Hi . Uh , can I talk to Jamie ?
Paul : I do nt think that s a good idea right now .
Jamie : It s okay .
Summer : Um ... look , I have to ask you something because I need to know for absolute sure . Jamie , did Fen really push you off of the rooftop ?
Jamie : Fen is completely responsible .
Summer : Oh , my God .
Jamie : And so are you , Summer .
Tyler : You know , what s weird is , when I m in an elevator that s moving ...
Lily : It does nt affect you ?
Tyler : No , it s like ... it s like claustrophobia , it only -- it comes when something s wrong .
Lily : Listen , nothing s wrong . Nothing s wrong , okay ? I m here , all right ?
Tyler : Oh , God . Here it comes .
Lily : What ? What ?
Tyler : [ Panting ] Tight chest and trembling .
Lily : Okay .
Tyler : It s dumb , huh ?
Lily : No , no , no , no . That s not dumb . It s not -- here , just take your jacket off , okay ? All right ? Is that better , yeah ?
Tyler : A little .
Lily : Okay . See ? Listen , do nt worry . We are gon na get out of here in no time , all right ? Hello ? We are stuck in the elevator .
Tyler : Stuck ? Can you -- can you not say that ? We re not stuck .
Lily : Okay , hold on . Um ... tell me -- tell me about , um , about -- about your presentation , okay , about -- about the mockup that you drew of -- of the -- the open sky , right ? And the girl . She s driving in a car down a wide , wide highway .
Tyler : Sky . Wind . Yeah .
Lily : Yes , yes . Okay , oceans , fields . All right ? Wide - open .
Tyler : [ Sighs ] [ Breathing slowly ]
Lily : Yeah .
Summer : I know that I bullied you at first , Jamie , and I know that that was really unfair of me .
Jamie : Then , why did you do it ?
Summer : It was nt even about you . Okay , I was just trying to hurt Ronan because he slept with my mom .
Jamie : Wait , so he broke up your parents , so you came after me ?
Summer : Yeah , cause he was your mentor .
Jamie : So , that made it okay ?
Summer : No , okay , I m not saying that . I did nt -- I did nt know that until I got to know you and really like you .
Jamie : Then why did you use me to make Fen jealous ?
Summer : I did nt .
Jamie : It pushed him into a rage , and he took it out on me .
Summer : Yeah , but Fen and I were nt ever into each other like that , Jamie .
Jamie : He obviously thought you were .
Summer : Yeah , because he s warped . Okay , but , really , it s not like Fen to be that violent , so please just be honest with me . Did Fen really push you off of that rooftop ?
Lauren : Jamie , we need to talk .
Summer : Okay .
Jamie : What is it ?
Lauren : You have to stop lying or this whole thing is gon na blow up in your face .
Michael : Fenmore .
Fenmore : I ve got someplace to be .
Michael : We need to get to the bottom of this .
Neil : So , I was kind of hoping that , you know , we could maybe spend the night together .
Leslie : See , now , I ca nt let you get too used to me spending the night at your house .
Neil : We spend the night at your house -- problem solved .
Leslie : Oh , okay , Mr. Fix - it . [ Laughs ] No , really , I have a ton of reading to do -- Crosby deal .
Neil : Ah , yeah , yeah , yeah .
Leslie : But , um , we re going to the Underground opening tomorrow night , right ?
Neil : Yeah , yeah , the Underground . Looking forward to it , sure .
Leslie : Me too . Give me one . Good night .
Neil : Good night . [ Sighs ]
Leslie : Really ? One little weak excuse and you re willing to spend the night alone ? You re gon na give up that easily ?
Cane : Yeah , Jabot is expanding . We re bringing fashion under the umbrella .
Chelsea : That s what Billy said , but I m just getting started .
Cane : We re looking for unknown designers -- you know , people who have that special flair that will catch a buyer s eye , and ... I think your designs do that .
Chelsea : Okay .
Cane : Okay ?
Chelsea : Good . That s great . So , uh -- oh , Billy also said he was willing to show his brother the sketches .
Cane : Which is why I m here . I m here to start the process . You can call me an advance scout . Speaking of which , Lily should be here to see these , so let me just call her for a sec , okay ? All right . Hey . Hey , it s me . Where are you ? You re not here . I ve been waiting for you . Um ... can you , uh , can you call me when you can ? I need to talk to you . All right , bye .
Tyler : When I was a little kid ... I was in a situation . I could nt get out .
Lily : Like what , in a dark room or something ?
Tyler : It s always made tight spaces really tough for me .
Lily : Situation . Is that all the detail I m gon na get ?
Tyler : It s a long story , so ...
Lily : Well , we might have some time , so ...
Tyler : I hope not . I got to get out of here .
Lily : Hold on . Relax , relax , relax . Just tell me the story . Tell me the story . Okay , or skip to the end . All right ? What happened ? Did your parents -- they showed up , they made everything better or what ?
Tyler : I do nt know if I ever got better . I saw something that I - I never should have . I was so scared ... and sad and ashamed because I was so afraid that I ... I just stayed hidden . It seemed like forever .
Lily : So , how did you get through that without freaking out ?
Tyler : I made up games , like I was an astronaut floating through space .
Lily : Okay , okay . So , uh ... Ground Control to Major Tom ?
Tyler : Yeah , stuff like that .
Lily : Okay , so , listen . We are in a starship , right ? With lots of windows , lots of windows , and we re -- we re zooming through the galaxy cause we re being chased by these , like , slimy creatures from planet Zurtag . [ Laughs ] And , um , I m , uh , Captain Galatea , right ? And you re , uh ...
Tyler : Well , how come you get to be captain ?
Lily : Because it s my game , my rules , duh .
Tyler : Okay . Well , then , I m Commander T ... B ... D.
Lily : TBD ? What , to be determined ?
Tyler : Tall , brave , and dangerous .
Lily : [ Laughs ] No , its okay , it s okay , it s okay , it s okay . All right ? That -- that -- that jolt was just -- it was the , um , the -- the thrusters shifting us into warp speed . It s fine .
Tyler : Oh , you re good .
Lily : [ Laughs ] I m just -- I m making it up as I go , all right ?
Tyler : Keep it up . I think you re saving my life .
Fenmore : You just make it impossible to talk to you .
Michael : [ Scoffs ] You do nt remember soccer Saturdays or bedtime stories or forts made of blankets ?
Fenmore : What does that have to do with any of this ?
Michael : I m your dad , and I want you to remember that , because what I have to ask you now -- and it has nothing to do with my being the D.A.
Fenmore : The way you keep coming at me , it --
Michael : Hold on , do -- do you realize how terrifying it is for me to see you suffering like this as if you had no one in the world to talk to ? And I used to be that person who you came to .
Fenmore : Well , now -- now you re that person who s treating me like a criminal .
Michael : I m trying to help you .
Fenmore : You chose Jamie over me ! I will never forgive you for that .
Michael : Fenmore ! Fenmore ! I love you . I love you with everything in me . I would move a mountain to keep you safe .
Fenmore : Well , then , can you believe me ? He is trying to hurt me , Dad .
Jamie : Why are you so sure I m lying ?
Lauren : Look , Jamie , this goes beyond two kids that just do nt get along . If you continue this accusation against Fen , you could ruin his life .
Jamie : Yeah , like he keeps trying to ruin mine .
Lauren : How can we make this right ? Just tell me . What else can we do ?
Jamie : Open your eyes . See who your son really is and stop pretending he s an angel . He s not .
Lauren : Now , wait a minute .
Paul : Lauren , Lauren , come on . The poor kid has been through enough for one night .
Lauren : I - I do nt know what to think . I mean , what if ? Could Fen really have done this ?
Lily : That was nt so bad . See ?
Tyler : Uh , yeah , it was .
Lily : But we made it . We made it . [ Laughs ]
Tyler : Thanks to you .
Lily : Oh , please .
Tyler : You re pretty cool under pressure , you know that ?
Lily : Listen , I have toddler twins , okay ? This was nothing . You re just one person . But I am glad that I was here to help you through it .
Tyler : Well , you re not half as glad as I am .
Lily : Okay , well ... gosh , Cane must be really worried . I m just gon na call him .
Chelsea : Cane is an executive at Jabot , and they might be interested in my designs .
Anita : Cane looks like a very smart man . Why would nt he be interested ?
Chelsea : Mom .
Anita : When Chelsea was growing up , I ca nt tell you how many times I d walk in and find her stomping down some imaginary runway , pretending to be a model .
Cane : And now that can pay off .
Anita : Do you really think my girl has talent ?
Chelsea : So , that meeting -- that meeting you were talking about with Neil and Jack -- you think you can make that happen ?
Cane : Yeah . I ll set it up . Here is my card .
Chelsea : Great . Ooh . Sorry . Great . Thank you for stopping by , Cane .
Cane : Sure . Nice to meet you .
Anita : Nice to meet you , Mr. Executive .
Chelsea : Stop .
Anita : Nobody would blame you .
Chelsea : I am still married , Mom . So is he .
Anita : [ Sighs ] Come on , Sweetie . I saw you checking out that fine specimen of Cane .
Chelsea : Okay , I looked , like , for a second because I -- well , because he was there .
Anita : And ... ?
Chelsea : And I feel awful . It feels like adultery .
Anita : Oh , please .
Chelsea : It feels like I m trying to make Adam pay for hurting me so much .
Anita : And what s wrong with a little revenge roll in the hay ?
Chelsea : Mom . I do nt want to hear it or even think about it , okay ?
Anita : Well , I am not gon na let you mope around feeling sorry for yourself . Forget about Adam , and while that divorce is percolating , I want you to find yourself another man .
Chelsea : I m not chasing Cane Ashby .
Anita : It does nt have to be him . It does nt have to be serious , and it sure as hell does nt have to be love .
Chelsea : Leaving me with ... ?
Anita : Lust . Hot , intense . Just drown yourself in whoever he is , but find him ... fast .
Chelsea : [ Scoffs ]
Paul : We should nt jump to conclusions about any of this .
Lauren : You should have heard Michael . I m as terrified of his reaction as I am at the possibility that Fen might be responsible .
Paul : Lauren , you and Michael are really good parents . You re gon na handle this . It s going to be okay . You just need to stay strong and stand by your son .
Lauren : Thanks for being my rock .
Paul : I m always here for you . Michael , too , okay ?
Jamie : Mr. Baldwin , I still need to get the rest of my stuff .
Michael : So , where are you headed ?
Jamie : Back to foster care , I think .
Michael : That s probably for the best . Jamie , I m sorry . I know I have no business asking you this ... but have you decided ? Are you gon na file formal charges against Fenmore ?
Michael : Oh , sorry . Man , I have to take this . Please , I want to finish , all right ? I ll be right back . Hello ? Talk to me .
Fenmore : We re going to have this out .
Chelsea : Hi . Uh , white wine , please . [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]
Cane : No , no , no , no , no . Whoa ! You all right ? Minor collision , sorry . See you soon .
Chelsea : Sorry .
Cane : We got to stop meeting like this .
Chelsea : Right ? Really have to watch where I m going . See you .
Lily : Hey .
Cane : Hey . Now , this better be good , all right ? Where you been ?
Lily : Uh , we just got caught up in the presentation .
Tyler : It s fine . I m not embarrassed . She was saving me . We got stuck in the elevator , and I got claustrophobia , so I freaked out . And long story short , if it was nt for Lily here , I d probably be in a padded room by now , halfway out of my mind .
Lily : No , you were nt that bad .
Cane : Yeah . What did you do ?
Lily : Nothing .
Tyler : She told me jokes , made up stories . Just , she got me talking .
Cane : Yeah , that s Lily -- cool under fire , huh , Baby ?
Lily : Oh , yeah .
Tyler : Yeah , it s like I m always telling you , man , you re a pretty lucky guy . Hey , thanks for all the hand holding and intergalactic fantasizing .
Lily : [ Laughs ] You re welcome . Okay , wipe that jealous look off of your face .
Cane : Mm - hmm .
Lily : Because I wish I had been stuck in an elevator with you .
Cane : Mm . Me too , Baby .
Paul : So , how are you doing ?
Summer : I just feel so bad about all of this .
Paul : You started the bullying , did nt you ? You re Brittni .
Summer : Yeah . I did nt expect it to blow up like this .
Paul : People never do .
Summer : I wish I could take it all back .
Fenmore : And now you re trying to blame what happened on me ? You are a worthless liar .
Jamie : I hate you ! I hate your guts !
Michael : What the hell s going on ? Jamie , get -- stop it ! Stop it !
Jamie : He did it ! He tried to kill me !
Fenmore : What ? !
Lauren : What ? !
Jamie : He pushed me over the edge , and he was laughing while doing it .
Lauren : You stop it .
Jamie : No , he s evil . He is a monster . I m gon na press charges . I want Fen in jail for what he did .
Lauren : You stop lying .
Adam : Sharon , I do have a lot of work to do .
Sharon : Do you really think that s gon na help you forget about Chelsea ?
Victoria : Something s missing .
Nick : What ?
Victoria : Avery . Where is she ? Avery .

Layla : You can pack this place every night if you d listen to me and go the whole salsa route .
Antonio : One step at a time .
Layla : Why are you putting this off ? I mean , you need to put a new vibe on this place , anyway . Everything from the music to the decor , even the name .
Antonio : There s nothing wrong with Capricorn .
Layla : Yeah , if you re into goats .

Rex : Look , no , all I was saying --
John : I was nt finished . I will bring Natalie home , that s my job , and I do nt need you screwing it up .
Rex : Oh , any worse than you already have ? All Nattie wanted was for you to notice her , okay ? And , you know , you treated her like dirt , McBain , and now she s paying the price .
Bo : Whoa , whoa , whoa , what s going on ?
Lindsay : It s a bad idea coming here .
R.J. : Lindsay , I will not be chased out of my own club , and it is my club , no matter how many times that buffoon changes the name . You just -- you grab us a table and I ll be right there .
Lindsay : R.J. , stay away from Antonio , please . Nothing good is going to come out of this .
Singer : You re my baby
R.J. : Hey . Who s the new girl ?
Waitress : Layla Williamson .
R.J. : Williamson .
Waitress : Yes .
R.J. : Is she any relation to Evangeline ?
Waitress : They re sisters , and she never stops reminding us .
Singer : Times I see I thank you
R.J. : Layla ? I m Randall James .
Layla : Nice to meet you .
R.J. : So , you re new here ?

Nash : What s wrong ?
Tess : Nothing . Nothing , I just got to take a rain check on tonight . I m sorry .
Nash : A rain check ? A kiss like that is clear skies and a hot rain check not . Come on .
Tess : It was nt the kiss , Nash . It s this whole domestic scene that we re acting out here .
Nash : Who s acting ?
Tess : This ca nt go on forever . You know , I have to go . You need your space to cook .
Nash : Go ? Where are you going to go ?
Tess : Home .
Ginger : I thought you were saving that dress for something special .
Adriana : Oh , well , what could be more special than a night out with my guy ?
Duke : Hmm .
Ginger : I m going to go get my purse .
Duke : You look like you just stepped off the runway .
Adriana : Nah . Too short . Models have to be at least 510 , or so I ve heard .
Duke : Oh . Well , you know what ? You better go up and change .
Adriana : Change ? Why ?
Duke : Well , yeah , if you want to hook up Rex with Ginger , you ca nt be the hottest girl in the club .
Adriana : Okay , shh -- I do nt want my mother to know we re going out with Rex .
Duke : Oh , yeah , that whole framing Dorian Lord for murder thing probably does nt buy him too many brownie points .
Adriana : Hmm .
Duke : Wow .
Ginger : All set ?
Adriana : You look great .
Ginger : Rex Balsom , here I come .
Bo : Matthew , why do nt you go down to the break area , see if you can find Officer Darrow and then ask him to show you that new computer game .
Matthew : Fine .
Bo : John , do you want to explain what s going on ?
John : No .
Rex : Look ; I was just trying to see if maybe I could --
Bo : I do nt want to hear any excuses or explanations from you , Balsom . Now , I know you re worried about Natalie . This stuff is off - limits to you .
Rex : The hell it is . Who s the one who figured out who Ted was , huh ? Not you , Bo , not John , that was me . I found Daniel s passport , and I ll find my sister on my own , too , okay ?
John : You believe this idiot ?
Bo : Nah , it s -- yeah , actually , I can . That s classic Balsom . The person I m having a hard time recognizing right now is you .
Evangeline : This is R.J.
Layla : Oh , you re that Randall James , the Randall James who has spent most of his life in and out of prison , the Randall James my sister got involved with and then wised up and dumped him because she realized he was still a sleazy criminal , the Randall James who had to rip a little girl away from her father to feel important . Am I missing anything , Vange ?
Evangeline : No , no , I think that about covers it .
R.J. : Hmm . You know , now I can see the family resemblance . You know , it s more than the beauty . It s the uninformed arrogance and closed - mindedness . Did you get that from your father ?
Evangeline : You have something to say , Randall James --
Layla : Vange --
Evangeline : Say it to me . No , no , no , I got this . You want to mess with me , bring it on . I ve seen everything you ve got , and frankly it s not that scary .
Layla : Uh - uh .
Evangeline : But if you ever mess with my sister , I will level you .
Layla : Thanks for the assist , Vange . I got to get back to work now . Bye .
R.J. : So , the self - hating ambulance chaser bares her fangs . You know , I always knew you had it in you , but what did it take to bring it out ? Getting dumped again , hmm ? Well , kudos to your flatfoot .
Layla : A guy from New York , huh ?
Antonio : Yeah . I did nt get his name , it was a bad connection , but that s the number , I hope .
Layla : Okay , thanks .
Evangeline : Hey . I just wanted to say , Antonio , you ve been amazing . Thanks so much for looking out for my sister .
Antonio : She s a lot of fun .
Evangeline : Yes , she is , and very theatrical .
Antonio : It was no problem , really .
Evangeline : Well , I m going to take her off your hands now . I m going to bring her back to my place . How s Jessica doing ? Any word ?
Antonio : No , no , none . I try to look at the bright side , though . With everything that s going on and Natalie being missing , it s probably best --
Layla : Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Ha !
Antonio : Ahem .
Nash : So you re going home ?
Tess : Yes .
Nash : Where -- where exactly is home ?
Tess : I do nt know . But I do know that I have to find one and I ca nt put it off any longer .
Nash : Absolutely . First thing in the morning , we ll start looking for one .
Tess : We .
Nash : Huh ?
Tess : I do nt think so , stud . Look , it s been a blast and everything , but I have gotten this far on my own and I am not going to rely on anybody riding to my rescue .
Nash : And you should nt .
Tess : I came here to start over .
Nash : Uh - huh .
Tess : Make it on my own .
Nash : Absolutely .
Tess : Not to play house .
Nash : And absolutely not , not a chance .
Tess : I ve gotten this far without relying on a man to help me , and I ve done very well .
Nash : And you should nt .
Tess : What -- what are you doing ?
Nash : Putting your blades away in your closet .
Tess : But that s your closet .
Nash : Yeah . Not anymore .
Ginger : Glad we rushed to get here .
Adriana : Do nt worry , okay ? Rex will show . And he ll more than make up for being late . He s great company , he s really funny , but not in a usual way . I mean , he s one of a kind . And brave . Took on a serial killer , one on one .
Ginger : Excuse me . I need another drink .
Duke : So you re working P.R. for him now ?
Adriana : What ?
Duke : Rex . You know , I m about to fall in love with the guy myself .
Adriana : I was trying to impress Ginger .
Duke : Hmm .
Adriana : And for the record , the only guy I want to be here with tonight is you .
Adriana : There you are .
Rex : Do nt ask . Do not ask .
Adriana : Ask what ?
Rex : How I m doing , because I ll only bitch and moan and bore the crap out of you , so the best idea is to stay off the subject of me .
Adriana : What happened ?
Rex : She does nt listen , does she ?
Adriana : Come on , vent ! You ll feel better .
Rex : Fine , fine , okay . Well , in a nutshell , Barber s on this head trip , not telling anybody where Natalie is , McBain s too busy drowning in his own misery to do any good , and I just got kicked out of the police station , to top it all off . So to hell with work . I need a drink .
Adriana : Rex , you remember Ginger --
Rex : What is she doing here ?
Bo : Get any sleep last night ?
John : I know what you re going to say , Bo .
Bo : Have you been off your feet in the past 48 hours ?
John : She s out there . I ai nt closing my eyes until I know she s safe .
Bo : Been a hell of a year for us , has nt it ? It started with the Cristian Vega case , then Colson , now Barber .
John : Yeah , a hell of a year .
Bo : You and I have ignored protocol , we ve bent the law a little bit , but gone above and beyond the call to bring those SOBs to justice . You know , at night I lie in bed and I think about everything that happened during the day , just go over and over everything in my mind , every lousy detail .
John : Yeah , I know the feeling .
Bo : And it haunts me . Hurts . The pain . How somebody can have total disregard for human life . That haunts me . So you know what I do ? Video games . I call my son , Matthew , and we go online and we play Alien Attack 4 , you know ? Just a couple of levels till he s ready to go to bed , but it puts everything in perspective for me . You know , just 20 minutes with my son , and then I can put my demons to bed for the rest of the night .
John : I do nt have a son .
Bo : I know . But you got those demons , you know . You have to figure a way to get rid of them .
John : I m not going home , Bo .
Bo : No . No , probably not , but you re not going to stick around here , either . I want you to call a friend , go to a bar , shoot some pool , you know , just forget about being a cop , just for a little while .
John : Kick back , I mean , watch the ball game , pound a few beers -- is that what you re telling me to do ?
Bo : John , as a friend , I m asking you to take the night off . Now , as the commissioner of police , I m ordering you , Lieutenant McBain . I do nt want to find out that you re Barber s last victim .
Rex : And now , as I m sure you know , my sister is missing , so maybe you d like to say something nasty and stupid about that , too .
Ginger : Look , I feel really bad about what I said when we met . I mean , I did nt mean to make light of what happened with you or your late girlfriend .
Rex : Forget it . I m going to get that drink .
Adriana : Rex , wait -- look , here , have mine . I do nt want it . I know you ve had a bad day , but like I said , you ll feel better if you talk about it .
Rex : Maybe .
Adriana : I know it s got to be so awful , what you went through with Jen , and now Natalie missing . You ca nt give up . You need to know that your friends are here for you . I m here for you , whatever you need .
Rex : Thanks .
Nash : All right . So what do you say ?
Tess : I d say that you re out of your mind .
Nash : Oh , come on . Look , you ca nt afford a place of your own , and I could use the help .
Tess : I do nt get it .
Nash : Well , what s not to get ? You kick in half the rent , we split the utilities in half , and we bunk in together until one of us strikes it rich and moves out to their deluxe apartment up in the sky .
Tess : Bunk in . 24 hours ago , you were singing a much different tune . What changed ?
Nash : Just makes sense -- financially .
Tess : Oh , financially .
Nash : Hmm .
Tess : So it s all about the finances ?
Nash : Well , it s always about the bottom line , baby . Come on . All right . Now you can come and go as you please .
Layla : I have the most amazing news . You wo nt believe it . I do nt even believe it .
Evangeline : Are you going to tell us already ? What is it ?
Layla : Okay . Curtis Murray is on his way over here right now .
Antonio : Who ?
Layla : That s who called from New York . He s this huge Broadway producer , and I sent my picture and head shot and resume to him from L.A. , and he basically said that he s passing through town and that he d like to take a meeting with me .
Evangeline : That is great , Layla ! I m so happy for you ! That s wonderful !
Layla : Oh , my God , he s going to be here any minute , so --
Antonio : Well , what are you waiting for ? Go get ready .
Layla : Are you sure ?
Antonio : Yeah , you can cover for her , right ?
Bartender : Yeah , no problem . It s quiet tonight , anyway .
Layla : Oh , thank you so much . Come with me , help with my makeup ?
Evangeline : Of course .
Layla : Ooh !
R.J. : I m sorry , but I ve got to take care of something .
Lindsay : Great . So far you ve managed to harass a waitress , get into a verbal sparring match with the Williamson sisters , and now you re off to run a mystery errand somewhere .
R.J. : And there s plenty more where that came from if you give me just about a half an hour .
Lindsay : I ll be waiting . God help me .
R.J. : Mm - hmm .
Antonio : You look like you could use a beer .
John : Make it a shot . Whiskey .
Antonio : That bad , huh ?
John : Orders from the commissioner . Find a way to enjoy life , whatever the hell that means . Do it again , will you ?
Antonio : You could use a day off , my friend .
John : How does Bo expect me to enjoy life without --
Evangeline : Without Natalie ?
Matthew : How d your talk with Mr. McBain go ?
Bo : You know , John is -- John s really tired right now . He has to figure out a way to relax and just sort of unwind and not have to think about Natalie 24 hours a day .
Matthew : We re going to find Natalie , Dad . I know we are . Mom told me last night that Jen was looking down on me . She s like my guardian angel . So last night before I went to bed , I said a prayer to Jen .
Bo : I m glad to hear that . I want you to keep on praying .
Matthew : Actually , it was more than just a prayer . I talked to Jen . I told her since things are going okay in my life , then it s okay to be Natalie s angel -- until she comes home .
Bo : You re a swell kid . But being swell does nt really mean jack when it comes to Alien Attack 4 . I can still whip your butt .
Matthew : You wish .
Bo : You wish ? It s on now , man . Come on . This is going to be really cool , though . Tonight we get to play it side by side .
John : You said it , not me .
Evangeline : Natalie s the only one who s still missing . You re focused on bringing her back , as you should be .
John : I sense a but in there somewhere .
Evangeline : It s not like you to drown your sorrows .
John : Nothing else is working .
Evangeline : You did nt drink when you and I broke up . Guess you had other things to drown your sorrows in back then .
John : You mean someone else , do nt you ?
Evangeline : Your words , not mine .
John : Well , you know me -- never good with the words .
Evangeline : Worth a try ?
John : Why ? It s all that not giving you what you need stuff . I m not going to put you through that again .
Evangeline : It s what you need that s the problem . And until you can understand that , you know , you re right , neither one of us should be put through this anymore .
John : Bartender , one more time .
Antonio : Do nt you think you ve had enough ?
John : No , I do nt think .
John : Here s to life .
Layla : Where s my sister ?
John : She s gone .
Man : Excuse me . I m looking for Layla Williamson . She s expecting me here .
Layla : Hi . I m Layla . And you must be Mr. Murray .
Man : Curtis , please . You re even more beautiful than your picture .
Tess : Oh , you do nt know what you re getting into .
Nash : Well , so it ll be like on - the - job training . Believe me , I ve had tougher jobs .
Tess : Oh , really ?
Nash : Mm - hmm .
Tess : Okay , well , I sleep till noon --
Nash : Mm - hmm .
Tess : I m up till all hours of the night , and I drink out of the carton .
Nash : Drink out of the carton ?
Tess : Mm - hmm .
Nash : Well , hey , does nt everybody ? Look , if it gets too weird , you know , we ll just renegotiate .
Tess : Okay . Okay , I ll be your roomie .
Nash : Okay . Well , I m just going to , um , go and finish , you know , getting chow going , and you can take a shot at cutting that bed in half .
R.J. : Rex , hey come with me .
Rex : Yeah , in a minute .
R.J. : No , now , damn it . Do nt make me embarrass you in front of your little friends .
Rex : Excuse me , ladies . Back in a flash .
Adriana : So , what do you think ?
Ginger : I feel like I m invisible next to you .
Adriana : Ginger , come on . I told you we re just friends . That s all .
Ginger : Oh , come on , Adriana . He sat down next to you . His entire conversation was focused on you . I mean , Rex may not even realize it , but the only girl that he wants to talk to tonight is you .
Rex : What s your problem ?
R.J. : You -- you are my problem . Gone for days and leave my club in the hands of bartenders and waitresses , and when you do finally show up , I find you in here playing Junior Hefner ?
Rex : Well , since you ve obviously been too involved in your money problems to pick up a paper , R.J. , let me fill you in on why I have nt been around .
R.J. : Rex , I do not want to hear any more of your --
Rex : Oh , let s see , I was drugged and kidnapped and almost killed by two wackos , one of whom still wo nt tell me where my sister is , so the last thing I m caring about right now is you or your stupid turf war with Antonio .
R.J. : What does Vega have to do with this ?
R.J. : How long have you been hanging out with little sister ?
Rex : Well , like that s any of your business .
R.J. : Damn it , Balsom , there is nt a hole deep enough for you to hide in . Are you crossing me ?
Duke : Hey , I m back .
Adriana : That was quick .
Ginger : I m going to the ladies room .
Adriana : See Rex and R.J. over there ? Things are always so tense between those two .
Duke : You know , I do nt want to talk about Rex or R.J. or anybody else , okay ? I want to talk about us .
R.J. : You are not going to play me for a fool .
Rex : What the hell are you so worked up about ? You already got your grandkid back . Is nt that all you ever wanted ?
R.J. : Balsom , I swear , if you , Vega , and these brats are planning something --
Rex : So pathetic . R.J. Gannon turning into some paranoid nut jumping at shadows . How the mighty have fallen . Ooh . What are you going to do , R.J. , Hit me ? In front of all these people ? Go ahead , take your best shot .
Lindsay : Do you have any idea where R.J. got some of these light fixtures ? Because I m redecorating my office and I d like to get my hands on a few .
Waitress : R.J. once told me they re not made anymore .
Lindsay : Oh . Oh , you know what , though ? I have a friend . I ll bet if I take a picture of those he ll probably re - create it for me . Thanks .
John : Ah .
Antonio : It s time to go home , my friend .
John : I just need to find her .
Antonio : Not in your condition .
John : Keep them . I could care less about my car . I just need to find
Layla : I do nt have a whole lot of theater experience , living in Hollywood , but I ve taken lots of classes and I ve done TV guest spots such as Desperate Housewives , Lost --
Curtis : Do you dance , sing ?
Layla : Oh , yeah . I ve taken voice lessons for years , tap , ballet , jazz . And by the way , I am a huge fan of Annette McKenzie , who I know you discovered , and look at her now .
Curtis : Major talent .
Layla : She is absolutely amazing . Whoo ! Anyway , I d be more than happy to come to New York and audition for you . I have a friend who lives in Brooklyn who would let me crash at her place for a while .
Curtis : That s absolutely not necessary . You can audition for me here .
Layla : Hmm . That s pretty --
Curtis : Is there someplace a little private we could go right now ?
Layla : Someplace private ? That does nt sound very professional .
Curtis : Nothing is going to happen , Layla , unless you want it to . Of course --
Layla : I am not like that . I am not that kind of actress .
Antonio : Everything all right here ?
Curtis : Huh . This is a private meeting .
Antonio : Well , anything you say to her you can say to me . I mean , after all , she is my most important client .
Curtis : Excuse me ?
Antonio : I m Antonio Vega , Ms. Williamson s agent .
Nash : Come and -- get it . Tess ?
Tess : I m out on the fire escape ! I figured since this is our first dinner , we should be doing it up right .
Nash : That s a great idea .
Tess : I know .
Nash : Ha - ha . Oh .
Tess : Nice view , huh ?
Nash : Well , you know , it s not the top of the empire state , but -- yeah , it ll do .
Tess : I love this city .
Nash : I hope you love the chicken . It s my specialty . Chicken a la Nash Brennan -- that s me .
Tess : Well , I tried to make a chicken a la Tess one time , and I almost gave myself salmonella .
Nash : Tess -- you know , I just realized you ve never actually told me your last name .
Tess : Do nt have one .
Nash : Oh , everyone s got one .
Tess : Well , tell that to Cher and Madonna .
Nash : All right , one - name Tess , this round goes to you , but there are going to be lots of rounds , I m telling you .
Tess : This is delicious . It s a perfect meal for a perfect night . Everything is -- perfect .
Evangeline : Coming , Layla . I ca nt believe you lost your keys already .
Evangeline : Coming .
Adriana : What about us ? And where did you go just now ?
Duke : My car . To get this . Open it .
Adriana : Duke ! I ca nt believe you did this .
Duke : I figured , you know , since it was your undergarments that saved us in Argentina , it s only fair that I would replace what you , you know , sacrificed for us .
Adriana : You have excellent taste .
Duke : There s more . Take a look in the envelope .
Adriana : A weekend for two at Bayberry Inn .
Duke : I thought we could use some time away . No work , no family interference .
Adriana : Maybe I ll bring my gift along .
Duke : Well , let s just hope it keeps us out of other types of trouble .
Rex : Go on . Make a scene . Show these people what a complete jerk you are . Hmm ?
R.J. : Damn it , Balsom . I m going to find out what you re up to , and if you re working with Vega against me , your life is nt going to be worth a plugged nickel , hmm ?
Antonio : I d be more than willing to discuss specifics -- Layla s rate , availability , and you should probably also know that if she gets to audition for anything , I get to come along . Right , Layla ?
Layla : Definitely .
Curtis : How about I call you later , Layla ?
Layla : Do nt bother .
Curtis : That negative attitude is not going to serve you well .
Layla : Hmm , what s going to serve me well , Mr. Murray , is my talent and my ability to recognize when someone is a sleazy son of a -- when someone is not worth my time .
Curtis : Well , I hope that you enjoy waiting tables here , honey , because I have a feeling you re going to be at it for the long haul .
Antonio : Ooh . Scary . You okay ?
Layla : Antonio Vega . I did nt know you had the acting bug . Thank you so much .
Tess : Do you have enough room ?
Nash : Well , I guess we ll just have to wait and -- oh -- see .
Tess : Stop it ! Stop it ! Listen , if this roomie thing is going to work out , you are going to have to do something about your hands .
Nash : Well , the hands have a mind all of their own . But the lips --
Tess : Then we are going to have to renegotiate sooner than we expected .
Evangeline : Go home , John .
John : We re going to talk , and this time you re going to listen .
Evangeline : When have nt I listened to you ? And no matter what actually gets said , it always ends up the same .
John : Well , now is different .
Evangeline : I m trying to get my life back together after the hell Hayes Barber put us through .
John : That s over .
Evangeline : It s all over , John . It has to be . I ca nt go on like this . Everywhere I look , I see us -- here , my office . I ca nt even walk to the park without thinking about the night you -- you kissed me there .
John : Me , neither .
Evangeline : What do you want ? What do you want from me ? Why are you here ? What do you want , John ?
John : I ca nt do this alone anymore ! That s what I want to tell you . So many mistakes -- afraid to open my mouth sometimes , because the wrong things are going to come out , you know ?
Evangeline : No , I do nt know .
John : The way I figured it , you know , if I never left the station , then I could protect myself , you know , from what I was feeling . Just -- you know , you concentrate on the job , John , and then you -- you protect yourself . You concentrate on the next victim , the next case , and then you do nt have to -- I did nt have to deal with me . Then you come along , and -- you come on -- you come into my life and I -- man , did I screw up . I thought too much with this and -- and not a lot with this . And now I do nt know what to do . I look at you and I see all the ways I let you down staring right back at me , and I do nt know how to change that .
Evangeline : You saved my life --
John : No .
Evangeline : John .
John : No . You saved mine . You -- you saved me . You saved me .
Bo : You want to help find your sister , first you got to get your head on straight .
Evangeline : Why did you come here , John ? What do you want ?
Antonio : I love Jess -- if she s in some kind of trouble , I want to know about it .
Nash : I think you re afraid . You re afraid of what s going on between the two us , are nt you ?

Tammy : Look , come on . Just look ! It s like a dream you have of Christmas when you re a kid .
Jonathan : I never had those dreams as a kid . Alfred loved to drink at Christmas , and then he d yell about how much money we d wasted and then he would play a little game called let s smash all the presents under the tree .
Tammy : I m sorry . But that was then , and this ... this is you and me . This is me touching you , getting rid of all of that old stuff . This is us just being happy . Away from everybody else , where they ca nt find us .
Jonathan : They always do .
Tammy : I m sorry you did nt get to have these dreams when you were a kid . I m sorry . And I hate that so many people hurt you . But you do nt have to hurt anymore .
Jonathan : ( Laughing ) Easy with Santa . He s going to put you on his bad list . Ooh . Wow .
Tammy : Look . It s like a fairytale . I always loved Christmas .
Jonathan : Bet this guy always gave you the good stuff , huh ?
Tammy : Sometimes , yeah . I remember last year we spent the holiday alone so that my mom and your mom could get together . That was a good present . That was the first time I saw past the anger and the hatred . I saw you , Jonathan , looking at us through the window . I saw you ...
Jonathan : I know ... I know .
Tammy : You let everyone think you were some wild monster , but I saw you . I saw your face looking at all of us . I saw your heart that night , Jonathan . And now I ca nt not see it .
Gus : Lay off of that , digging around in my stuff .
Mallet : Well , it s our job , is nt it ?
Gus : No , my personal stuff .
Mallet : Oh , right . I m sorry . I m sorry if you re mad I walked in on whatever is going on between you and Harley .
Gus : You know what ? We re going to make an agreement , right now , okay ? We re not going to talk about her anymore . That ll be our agreement . We can talk about anything-- trucks , baseball cards , firearms , movies , trucks , anything you want-- but not her . Deal ? Deal .

Beth : Harley , are you all right ?
Harley : Yeah , you know . I just dozed off .
Beth : Bad dream ?
Harley : Same dream .
Coop : How s the uniform fit ?
Ava : Um , did your father , by any chance , make his order for these things in the summer ?
Coop : Wow . Um , we ll get jackets for them . You look good , though ... great . You look great .
Ava : Thank you . I thought you d like it .
Coop : So , welcome to the Co2 crew .
Ava : Proud to be aboard .
Coop : How good are you at heavy lifting ? Come here .
Lizzie : I do nt want you to worry . I will pay you back for everything that you lent me .
Quinn : Lizzie , the last thing I want you to do is worry about pennies .
Lizzie : Well , pennies add up .
Quinn : I m sure they do if your parents have cut you off . You must be hating life .
Lizzie : It s educational .
Quinn : And desperate and boring , and it does nt suit you at all . You re the closest thing this town has to royalty . I mean , do nt you miss that ?
Coop : Stop , stop , stop . This is the final plan . You push , I ll push . That way the tree will have to do whatever we command it to do . Okay ?
Ava : Okay . Ready .
Ava : Yeah .
Coop : One ...
Ava : Two , three ... ( screams )
Coop : Ava !

Tammy : Yeah .
Jonathan : I did nt stay , though . I just walked away . You know ?
Tammy : I know .
Jonathan : I got to see you happy , though . That was good .
Tammy : The only reason I was happy that day is because of you . And I never got to say thank you .
Jonathan : You re welcome .
Tammy : So where did you go when you left ?
Jonathan : To a bar .
Tammy : By yourself ? That makes me sad .
Jonathan : Do nt be . Think of ... uh ... think of something happy . Hey , buddy , you want some eggnog ? What was the best Christmas gift you ve ever gotten ?
Tammy : The best ?
Jonathan : The best . ( Laughter ) up , up . I mean , like what did girls do ? Did you get like a fantastic dollhouse or a car ...
Tammy : Nah , the big ticket stuff is never as good as the surprises .
Jonathan : What surprises ?
Tammy : Um , the little glass bear , so little you just can fit it right in the palm of your hands . Or the Noah s ark , with the little animals carved out of marble . It s the stuff ... the stuff you never even knew you wanted until you had it and then realized you could nt live without it because you had already fallen completely in love with it .
Jonathan : I ve never had a gift like that , until now .
Tammy : It s you . This is so right , right now . So right . I ca nt believe I ran from it for so long .
Jonathan : You do nt have to anymore . Do nt run .
Tammy : I ca nt . I love you . Jonathan . I love you .
Coming up on Guiding Light ...
Gus : Look at him , he s pouting because we re not allowed to talk about Harley anymore .
Ava : Lizzie s a very lucky girl .
Quinn : Say hi to your boyfriend for me .
Gus : Oh , look who s pouting because we re not allowed to talk about Harley .
Mallet : ( Laughing ) you just broke the agreement .
Gus : No .
Mallet : You said not to talk about Harley , and look who s talking about Harley .
Gus : I did nt say that . I said whatever I had to say to shut you up .
Mallet : No , you want to talk about trucks . Yeah , yeah , and sports figures ...
Gus : I ll say anything ....
Mallet : Gus ! Oh , man . You all right ?
Gus : Yeah . I owe you one . That thing s huge .

Tammy : I have never felt like this before in my life .
Jonathan : You think I have ? ( Laughing )

Harley : Oh , my gosh , if I had lost you .
Gus : My point here is that , you know , I do nt want to wake up some morning and realize we re like used to being apart all of a sudden . Nothing is worth that . Alan , Beth , they re not worth it .
Harley : No , they re not .
Gus : Spaulding , anything we dreamed up . You know what matters is us , you and the kids .
Harley : Our family .
Gus : Yes , exactly . I could have died tonight , and what ? I would have spent my very last night in bed , alone , without you .

Harley : Okay .
Gus : Good . So can I stay now ?
Harley : You think I d let you out of my sight ?
Gus : That s what I was hoping you d say .
Harley : You smell like smoke . ( Laughing )
Gus : Well , then , I will have to take a shower . Well , what , can I help you ?
Harley : Do you think there is room in there for two ?
Gus : Oh , yeah let s leave some soap .
Coop : It s okay . I ve already seen ... is it your birthday ?
Ava : No , it s not that big of a deal . I thought ...
Coop : Ava , it is a big deal .
Ava : No .
Coop : What ? You do nt want me to say happy birthday . What s so wrong with something to celebrate because it s your birthday ?
Ava : Coop , stop . Stop , stop .
Coop : No , no , no , no . All right this is for you .
Ava : Thank you .
Coop : Happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday , Ava ...
Ava : Stop , stop , stop . What is that ?
Coop : What s so wrong ? That s the birthday song for Co2 . I just made it up , actually .
Ava : It stinks . It s horrible .
Coop : Okay , look , we do nt want people feeling too happy . That s why they have me sing .
Ava : Great motto . You should put that on your shirt .
Coop : Well , then , I ll tell you what . I want you to make a wish . Go ahead . Happy birthday .
Ava : Thanks .
Coop : So , can ... are you going to eat your cake ? Can I have a bite of it ?
Ava : Do we have a fork ?
Coop : We do , but all of the new employees are in charge of utensils . There we go .
Ava : Thank you .
Coop : Uh - huh .
Ava : I guess we could share one .
Coop : Yeah , yeah , we could .
Ava : Ready ? Open up wide . Open sesame ! Ooh , ooh , here , here , napkin . Napkin . That was nice .
Coop : It was really good , actually . So ...
Ava : Yes .
Coop : What did you wish for ?
Ava : Well if I tell you what I wished for , my wish wo nt come true-- not that it will come true in the first place . I wished for true love . I know it s stupid .
Coop : No , it s not .
Ava : Well , it s not if you ve had it . Lizzie is a very lucky girl .
Lizzie : Did you just come out of that door ?
Tammy : What are you doing here ?
Lizzie : Nothing . You ?
Tammy : Just dinner with my mom .
Lizzie : I was looking in the window , seeing if I could find something for Coop for Christmas . Did you see anything in the men s department ?
Tammy : No .
Lizzie : Oh , right . What am I saying ? You do nt shop there anymore . I m really sorry about Sandy .
Tammy : I m okay . You and Coop are disgustingly happy , huh ?
Lizzie : Yeah , he is the guy for me . I do nt really care what my family thinks anymore .
Tammy : You should nt . If he makes you happy .
Lizzie : You seem a little too okay after a bad public breakup . Did you meet someone new already ? Because there is this guy I can introduce you to , he s got lots of money , and it does nt seem right you being alone . You re amazing , pretty and sweet .
Tammy : I do nt need a matchmaker , Lizzie . I m happier than ever .
Lizzie : Really ? Why is that ?
Gus : You know what I m saying ? I m sorry I m talking so much . We re not going to go sneaking around pretending I do nt love you . I ca nt do it .
Harley : Me neither , to any of that .
Gus : I m not a jealous man , but I do nt want Mallet thinking he can do CPR on a dead relationship that is a dead relationship and think that s okay with me , okay ? Do you understand what I m saying ?
Harley : Uh - huh . You re just saying what I was thinking all along .
Gus : Well , thank you . Before I came here tonight , were you really going to call the whole thing off and say we should nt do this ?
Harley : You were reading my mind .
Gus : Yeah , I was reading it ?
Harley : Uh - huh .
Gus : I was ?
Harley : Uh - huh .
Gus : I like that . I really like that .
Mallet : Oh , man . This is nt helping . I ve got to go home . I ve got to grab a beer or something and watch a ballgame , try not to ... try not to think . I m thinking way too much .
Coop : Here . It s getting a little cold out there , so ...
Ava : Oh , thank you . I ll give it back to you the next time I see you .
Coop : No . Look , keep it . It s a birthday gift .
Ava : Oh , I could nt . I could nt take it . You ve already done so much for my birthday . You gave me a little party , and you got me a job .
Coop : Do nt worry about it . We ve got plenty in the lost and found that will never be claimed . Besides , it looks better on you than it does me , anyway .
Ava : I hope Lizzie realizes what a great catch she has in you .
Coop : I hope so , too , but she may not think so after she gets the Christmas gift I got from the lost and found .
Ava : Depends on what it is . Oh , come on . I know for a fact you give her a lot more than that . In fact , I think that you re the best gift of all , Coop .
Tammy : I do nt feel like I m ready to date . It s too soon .
Lizzie : I guess you deserve a little breather .
Tammy : Thanks . I m just not ready for it .
Lizzie : Okay , do you want to walk home ?
Tammy : No . I have to stay here for my mom .
Lizzie : Okay . You know , if there s something you really want to do , just do nt give up , all right ? Even if your parents hate them , it does nt matter . It worked out for me .
Tammy : Bye .
Alan - Michael : How about you , little girl ? What can Santa do to you for Christmas ?
Harley : You said you had plans .
Gus : I do .
Harley : What is it ?
Sandy : Tammy s my wife .

Jonathan : You tell me you love me and then you act like nothing happened .
Tammy : I m scared , Jonathan , I m so scared .

Owen : Look . It does nt matter . Your husband needs you out there now .
Bridget : What s going on ? Where s the showstopper ?
Eric : So-- so what is this ? What s -- what s going on ? What is this all about ? We ve got bathing suits and board shorts . Forrester s surf line . What makes that different than anyone else s ? What , just the label ? Yeah , I wish . It would make my job a lot easier , would nt it ?

Eric : A Forrester Original is defined by it s attention to detail . Unusual fabrics , and the precision of every stitch .
Taylor : Is everything okay ?
Stephanie : Nothing Eric ca nt handle . ( Runway music plays )

Pam : That is not Donna s creation . It s mine !
Rick : They like it .
Eric : They love it . Look at that .
Eric : Well , congratulations , Mr. President . You ve just started your first trend . Way to go .

Carly : No , no , I just -- I do nt need a babysitter . I mayve been a little wobbly before , but I am now officially stone cold sober . So you do nt have to stay on my account .
Nick : Okay .
Carly : And I feel like a jerk for missing Gwen s show . If I go right now maybe I can catch some of it .
Nick : You want to go back to the club ?
Carly : Yeah .
Nick : That s a bad idea .
Paul : I have to stay . Just until Emily wakes up .
Meg : She s in hypovolemic shock , Paul . If she does wake up , it could be a long time .
Paul : You do nt think she will .
Meg : Emily s brain was without oxygen for a while . We do nt know how much damage that did .
Paul : So the sooner she wakes up , the better . Right ?
Meg : Yeah , that would be a good sign . But it would nt mean -
Paul : Then she ll wake up . Emily s strong . She ll be okay .
Susan : Leave .
Paul : As soon as she wakes up .
Susan : You are the last person she needs to see . Go !
Meg : Susan had no right .
Paul : Yes , she does . Let s go .
Hal : It s me , Em . Can you hear me ? Squeeze my hand if you can hear . That s okay , I ll wait . But you knew that , did nt you ? No matter what I said , I was waiting . Still am . I wo nt leave you , honey . Did she ?
Susan : Yes .
Hal : She heard me . Emily ?
Emily : Paul .
Margo : Oh , come on . Let me buy you a drink .
Jack : It s an official visit . It s Emily .
Margo : What ?
Jack : They found her . She was on one of the bluffs . Word has it Paul was there before the police and tried to talk her down but she jumped .
Margo : Oh , my God , Emily is dead ?
Jack : She survived the fall from what I understand she still has nt woken up .
Margo : I got ta tell Tom .
Jack : he is not answering the phone or pager . That s why I though you might know where he is .
Margo : he is home with danny right now . I got to go . I do nt want to ruin the night .
Jack : I ll tell them its police business . No problem .
Margo : Thanks .
Jack : You got it . You re a big star now . Not talking to me anymore ?
Gwen : Jack .
Jack : That almost qualifies . You re avoiding me now because of what happened with Carly is that it ?
Gwen : Is that why she left ?
Jack : What are you talking about ?
Gwen : She left before I went on the stage .
Jack : Not because of anything I did . Gwen , I just got here . I did nt even know Carly was here until you told me right now .
Gwen : Yeah .
Jack : You re saying she left . She was upset ?
Gwen : I do nt know . I have to go .
Jack : Wait a second . Gwen !
Jade : I m sorry . I just had a fight with my boyfriend and I took it out on you . It was lousy to bring up Rose s death . You were a kid . From what I hear , it was nt really your fault .
Barbara : Hi , honey . Why are you standing out here ?
Will : Good question .
Barbara : Has Gwen already played ?
Will : Yeah , she was great .
Barbara : I m so sorry I missed it . But I was working for the cause , so I think I have an excuse .
Will : The cause ?
Barbara : The tickets for Casey and Gwen s trip to Chicago .
Will : What ?
Barbara : The Acid Rain tour . Now I know it sounds nauseating to me but I know they re over the moon about it . And it ll really help them book really good talent in here . You do know Gwen and Casey are going off together , right ?
Gwen : Hey , have you guys seen Will ?
Casey : Not for a while .
Jack : Carly s car is still in the parking lot .
Gwen : Okay .
Jack : Is it ?
Gwen : Why are you asking me ?
Jack : You said she went home . So how d she get home ?
Gwen : No clue .
Jack : You re sure .
Gwen : Yeah , I m sure .
Jack : You said she was here , upset , went home , only her car is still here . If there s something going on -
Gwen : If there is , it s not your problem , right ? You walked . So why do you care what happens with Carly ?
Nick : It looked like you had a lousy time tonight trying to have fun that s why you got drunk .
Carly : Well at least I did nt dance on the table . That s when you know I m in trouble .
Nick : Mrs. Jack Snyder dances on tables .
Carly : I m still Carly . Carly Tenney . I loved Jack . And I miss him so much sometimes I ca nt even breathe . But I am still me , a woman that can do more than just survive . I can go out on my own . I can be a good sister . I can spend time with my friends . I can dance the night away if that s what I want to do .
Nick : You do nt believe it any more .
Carly : It used to be true . It will be again but you re right tonight is different . When I walked into the club it surprised me . How hard it was on my own . But there s only one cure for that .
Nick : You really want to go back tonight .
Carly : Yes ! I am sick of listening to my own sad thoughts . I want to have fun .
Nick : Then I m driving .
Carly : Great .
Susan : Emily , its Mom . It s Mom .
Bob : I got the page .
Susan : She woke up .
Bob : Could she focus ?
Susan : She did nt open her eyes long enough to tell .
Bob : Are you sure she was conscious ?
Susan : She spoke .
Bob : Words or just sounds ?
Hal : She said Paul .
Bob : Was she asking for him ?
Susan : No !
Hal : Probably .
Bob : This is a good sign . Speech in itself indicates a high level of brain function . If it was cognitive , if Emily actually asked for someone , that s even better .
Hal : I do nt know that for sure .
Bob : We ve got to find out . As soon as she can show us that she can focus on something the better . And that something may be Paul .
Susan : Emily . Honey . You need to wake up . Emily ?
Bob : Where is Paul ?
Hal : He was right outside .
Bob : Not when I came in .
Hal : So he s left her high and dry again . Big surprise .
Susan : I sent him away .
Bob : Get him back .
Susan : Do you know how many times he s broken her heart ? I ca nt even count that high . He might as well have pushed her off that cliff with both hands .
Hal : She s right .
Bob : Yes . But if his name is the only world that s coming from Emily s mouth -- .
Susan : Maybe she was having a nightmare .
Bob : Is that what it sounded like ? Her vitals were steady . No sign of distress . Right now you two seem more distressed than she is .
Hal : The last time Paul tried to talk her down , she jumped . What if he makes her worse ?
Bob : She s hit bottom . He ca nt make it worse . We need Emily awake , whatever it takes .
Meg : You know that Susan and Hal wo nt call .
Paul : I do nt even need this thing .
Meg : I know the shift nurse in ICU . I know she could give us updates on Emily s condition .
Paul : Thanks .
Meg : Shall I go ask the bartender for a deck of cards ? We can start a new gin rummy tournament .
Paul : I ca nt .
Meg : Yes we can . It will take the pain away . Remember ? I know I left the scorecard at the cabin but I do remember that I was winning . I ll go get the cards .
Paul : Please , please , do nt . It s not going to help .
Meg : I will not sit here and watch you tear yourself apart for what Emily has done .
Paul : I drove her to this .
Meg : Paul , she tried to kill herself after shooting you , holding Dusty hostage and nearly killing him . There is nothing that you did that anybody did that justifies that .
Paul : I should have seen it coming .
Meg : You did . But you were a little busy recovering from that bullet she put in you . I think you re forgiven for not staging an intervention .
Paul : Maybe . But it was a terrible idea to marry her .
Meg : She had Dusty chained to a wall bleeding to death . We had to find out where . Come on , stop .
Paul : I ca nt . I keep seeing her on the cliff . You know and I thought I had her she s about to take my hand .
Meg : Then I showed up .
Paul : No .
Meg : It s true . Emily thought there was still a chance between the two of you until I showed up . I guess I pushed her off the edge . I put her in the hospital . It s not . I m responsible .
Paul : No , Meg , no .
Meg : Yes . That s right . No . I m not responsible any more than you are . You have to let this go .
Will : I knew about the trip to Chicago .
Barbara : Really ? Just you seem add little surprised .
Will : Only because you obviously did nt know that Gwen is not going . She found out you were behind it and she decided she could nt .
Barbara : Well , why not ?
Will : It s too generous , Mom .
Barbara : Honey , I m just trying to help . It s my pleasure to help .
Will : We so appreciate it , thank you . Mom , come on . Who is fighting . Enjoy the party . Okay ?
Barbara : I will . I ll see you inside .
Jade : Wow , she s good .
Will : You re still here ?
Jade : I was nt going to miss a good show . The way you matched her point for point was totally awesome . you totally did nt let her get to you .
Will : I learn add few survival skills .
Jade : I can tell . Wo nt give her anything to fight against no matter what she trying to pull . That little catch in her voice when she tried to make peace with you . Pretty convincing .
Will : Yeah . Is that what you did ?
Jade : What ?
Will : When Holden and Lily found out you were scamming them .
Jade : Is that what you think of me ? Will ; That was good . I was wounded and hurt . A little catch . That s what I think of you . Otherwise I ca nt figure out why you re not in jail right now .
Lisa : Where is she ?
Luke : hey Lisa . This is a great party .
Lisa : When are you going to introduce me ?
Luke : To who .
Lisa : Lilly told me this young woman has totally stolen your heart away .
Luke : She told you that , did she ?
Lisa : Yeah .
Luke : Did she tell you everything ?
Lisa : Uh - huh . Yep .
Luke : And you still want to meet her ?
Lisa : Of course I did .
Luke : Then she must not have told you everything . Do you know that she lied about who she was ?
Lisa : Yes , I know that . I know she pretended to be Rose s daughter but your mom said if she made you happy that s all that matters to her .
Luke : She said that ?
Lisa : Yeah . So when am i going to meet her ?
Reporter : Ms. Grimaldi ?
Lisa : Yeah .
Reporter : I need a few quotes for my story .
Lisa : Okay . You re going to stick around now right ?
Luke : Yeah , I ll be here .
Lisa : That s a good thing . I ll be right back . This will just take a minute . I want to meet this young woman and see if she is good enough for you . Here I come .
Jack : Carly is not picking up at home .
Gwen : I do nt really get it . You told carly your marriage was over , done , forget about it . Why are you tracking her down ?
Jack : Something could have happened she is still the mother of my kid .
Gwen : Look at me , Jack . Do you honestly believe that she is in danger and you re protecting her because you care about your kids ?
Jack : Probably not .
Gwen : So what is really going on ? It s not fair to her if she thinks you two have a chance . I get a free drink for working here and I ca nt drink it .
Jack : I do nt want your drink , you re just trying to get me out of here .
Margo : You heard ? Yeah , Jack tried to call . Could nt get through .
Tom : Yeah , he did . Danny of course wanted to hear his favorite book , The Titanic . Had a million questions . What happened ? Why did it sink and the phone is ringing and I m letting the boys -- why could nt they save all the people and my pager is going off and I m just ignoring that . So I want to answer all the questions so I can hold his hand until he falls asleep because he s in that place .
Margo : That poor kid . He s always expecting the next disaster . Always asking the questions about everything that could possibly go wrong . Does nt want to hear any other story .
Tom : A pretty good understanding of the world he was going into .
Margo : No , no , only part of it , Tom . No , you never failed him .
Tom : I do nt know . How I help him . I called the sitter and had her come down here so the phone would nt be ringing at the house . I do nt want him to hear something .
Margo : Any word on Emily ?
Tom : She is still out . I talked to Dad . She stopped breathing up on the cliff and lack of oxygen . That could be brain damage . She could pull through or not .
Margo : No , really , we can say that . Even after everything Emily has done she is still a human being . No one deserves this .
Tom : I know I was pretty mean to Susan about -- how does a mother leave her son with a watch and a note .
Margo : When s the last time you talked to her .
Tom : Dad is keeping an eye on her .
Margo : Everything is a free ride on this one .
Tom : No . Not everybody . How could nobody see this coming ?
Margo : Because , Emily is good , Tom . She s a survivor and she forceful and I m sure that she held it together so nobody could see this coming .
Tom : In the end she cracked wide open . For Danny s sake she can put herself back together again .
Susan : This is wrong .
Nurse : What ?
Susan : This kress is too -- drip is too slow .
Nurse : This is the way the doctor ordered it .
Susan : I am a doctor . And I am telling you it is wrong . Fix it .
Nurse : I ll page Dr. Li Nu .
Bob : You looking for a fight ?
Susan : Yes , I am but it s with her and she wo nt wake up .
Bob : You and Emily . The fights were the best ever .
Susan : There s no movement . Not even involuntary . She has been completely still . I do nt have to tell you that Emily Stewart is never still . She gave me a present today .
Bob : What was that ?
Susan : Before she left she told me she remember add vacation that we took at the beach when she was nine or ten . One of the few times I was nt drunk and we had a really good time . After that , very nice reminiscence I paid her back by calling the cops and that s probably the last memory she has of me .
Bob : You were trying to protect her .
Susan : Think it felt that way to her ?
Bob : Susan you did nt put her on that cliff .
Susan : I did nt stop her .
Bob : No one could .
Susan : Paul could have .
Bob : Maybe he can again .
Paul : You re amazing . You know that ? You are . This is probably the last place in the world you want to be .
Meg : It s where you are . So that s where I am .
Paul : You deserve better .
Meg : Yeah , and you re on the hook for it . Do nt worry .
Paul : Do nt lose the score pad . Hold on to it . Want another drink ?
Meg : We ca nt . It was last call when we got these .
Paul : I completely lost track of time . And place . Look at us . Meg , we re in public together .
Meg : Yeah , instead of jail . Pretty nice change of pace .
Paul : Yeah , we re free . Going to enjoy this .
Meg : Well do nt rush it . You have time .
Paul : look . The truth is I do nt need to force anything . You make me happy . You know that ? I m so glad you did nt run from the house . You re a gift . A precious gift .
Meg : You know , I realize we re in public .
Paul : I just said that , did nt I ?
Meg : Come upstairs with me ?
Hal : Your phone is off .
Paul : You called ?
Hal : Yes . You need to get back to the hospital right away .
Paul : Why ?
Hal : Because Emily woke up and she wants you .
Paul : What do you mean , Emily wants me ?
Hal : She woke up and said your name . She spoke ?
Hal : One word anyway .
Meg : That s a good sign .
Hal : That s what Bob said . But that was it . One word , then she was back out . They need to keep Emily awake and responsive . Bob thinks seeing you could be the push she needs .
Paul : Or not . This could be a bad idea .
Hal : Right .
Paul : Hold on , Hal .
Hal : I read you loud and clear , Ryan .
Paul : No , you do nt ! I do nt want to make things worse , Hal . That s all .
Hal : Things could nt be any worse .
Paul : What is she going to think ? I m in love with her and coming back to her . And what happens when she finds out that s not true ?
Hal : That does nt have to be the first thing out of your mouth .
Paul : I ca nt lie to her again .
Meg : Maybe you wo nt have to . Do nt worry about that right now . Think of it as a chance to pull Emily back off that cliff again .
Paul : Let s go .
Hal : I have a unit out front .
Paul : I ll be back as soon as - -- .
Meg : I m coming too .
Paul : I would nt ask you to .
Meg : So I volunteered . I ll stay out of sight so in case Emily wakes up she wo nt see me . But I m not leaving you .
Margo : When do we need to make decisions ?
Tom : I want to hold off as long as possible . Danny does nt ask for Emily every day now .
Margo : Last time he said anything to me was almost a week ago . When s Mommy coming back from out of town ?
Tom : So unless he asks --
Margo : Even if he asks . You ca nt explain this to a child his age and there s no need . Depending on -- what happens , we tell him Mommy is sick . We do nt have to decide anything now . We ll take it as it comes .
Tom : He ll have questions .
Margo : He s going to have questions and we ll answer them .
Tom : Depending on how badly this turns out , Danny may have to be with us permanently .
Margo : I ve always been prepared for that . You know what ? Danny is a great kid and you re a great father and we re fine . This corner of Danny s little world is fine .
Tom : I love you so much .
Barbara : So the arrangements are all made for you and Gwen in Chicago . Do you want your tickets held at the box office ? Or should I get them sent here ? Fine .
Casey : Neither one .
Barbara : What ?
Casey : Gwen ca nt go .
Barbara : Of course she can .
Casey : Nah , she decided it was too much .
Barbara : How about you . You can go .
Casey : I d go by myself but no way my parents are going to let me go alone .
Barbara : You re going to have to miss out , too ? Honey this is just a shame .
Casey : I m sure you ll be able to sell them real easily .
Barbara : Casey this is VIP . Everything . I ca nt just sell them .
Casey : They are all access ?
Will : How did you do it ? How did you convince Lily and Holden not to run you out of town ?
Luke : I m ready to go .
Jade : okay
Will : Hey , Luke great to see you .
Jade : I have to go .
Will : So Luke is the boyfriend . That s who you were fighting with .
Jade : See you around .
Will : You hooked Luke then Lily and Holden had to let you stay .
Jade : Bye , Will .
Will : Right .
Carly : I m so sorry I missed your set Gwen . Everybody is still buzzing about it . It must have been really good .
Gwen : Yea , not bad for the first night .
Jack : Why did you miss her set ?
Gwen : Where have you been hiding out ?
Will : Just outside for a minute .
Gwen : I spent half the night looking for you . Now we have to duck .
Will : What ?
Gwen : Check it out . I almost got in the middle of that . What happened ?
Will : Nothing .
Gwen : Just bad for now .
Will : I was wondering because I ran into my mom outside .
Gwen : Let me guess , you were supposed to be endlessly grateful for her getting me this job .
Will : Yeah . Here is something you ll want to hear .
Reporter : Ms. Munson we re ready for pictures now .
Will : What ?
Gwen : Like right now ?
Reporter : Sure .
Will : Its fine , I ll be here .
Gwen : No , no , you re going to come with me . I want you to come .
Jack : Why did you miss Gwen s set ?
Carly : I did nt feel well .
Jack : And he drove you home .
Nick : He was happy to do it .
Carly : I need a drink .
Nick : You do ?
Carly : Club soda , a little lime .
Nick : I ll get it . Jack , can I get you anything ?
Jack : No , thank you , Nick .
Carly : That was almost civilized . What is it , Jack , look like you re about to explode ?
Jack : Not me .
Carly : Yeah . You . So what is it ? What have I done that makes you want to tell me off now ?
Jack : I just want to make sure that you re okay , Carly .
Carly : I m fine , Jack .
Jack : But Nick drove you home .
Carly : I still hear bones rattling in my head .
Jack : I bet he did . Did he happen to go to the basement ?
Carly : Well , considering that s where the skeleton fell out of the wall , yeah , he checked the basement .
Jack : Very smooth , Nick . Do it again I ll file a report .
Nick : What ?
Jack : He worked you , Carly . He s been trying to find out what is happening with Mike s case .
Nick : Is that why you think I gave her a ride home ?
Jack : Yeah , I think you could nt get anywhere playing it straight so you bent the rules .
Carly : You guys , just cut it out . It s Gwen s night . Can we not have a scene , please ?
Nick : I ll be at the bar .
Jack : What the hell is that ? He ll be at the bar so , what , you can find him later ?
Carly : Maybe . What is the big deal , Jack ? You said our house is nt a crime scene anymore .
Jack : The investigation still is . While it is I do nt want him anymore near the basement .
Carly : What do you think he s going to do down there ?
Jack : No telling , Carly .
Carly : You re not worried about what Nick might do in the basement . You re worried about Nick might do with me . Are you jealous ?
Casey : I ll take the tickets .
Barbara : Casey , you said that Gwen wo nt go and you ca nt go alone .
Casey : I ll make it happen .
Barbara : I do nt want there to be a problem here . I m in enough hot water with my son as it is .
Casey : No problem . Please just do nt give the tickets away .
Barbara : are you sure about this ?
Casey : Just take care of the passes and I ll take care of Gwen .
Barbara : Okay . That is music to my ears .
Maddie : What is that grin all about ?
Casey : This grin is the all access grin .
Maddie : The what ?
Casey : I m going to Chicago .
Jack : I m not jealous , Carly .
Carly : You do nt care who I spend my time with ?
Jack : Is that what this is about . You re trying to get a reaction out of me ?
Carly : I did nt know you would be here . Believe it or not this was supposed to be my attempt at going out on my own . Just to be here and hanging out with friends and maybe dance a little . Listen to my sister sing .
Jack : I m sorry to interrupt .
Carly : Me , too . Let s dance .
Nick : You re kidding .
Carly : No , I m not kidding . Is nt that the whole point in coming back here any way ?
Nick : Okay .
Jade : I do nt understand the attitude .
Luke : You do nt understand a lot of things .
Jade : I m sorry about what happened on the dance floor but I was just trying to make it look real .
Luke : Do nt you want real ? Like really interested in you ?
Jade : What .
Luke : Jade , have you really thought about this long term for life . You and me putting on a show . How can that make you happy ?
Jade : It does .
Luke : It ca nt .
Jade : You have no idea .
Luke : What do you get out of this ? My dad flips you some money , have a roof over your head .
Jade : You think that s nothing ?
Luke : No . But I think you could get that without lying . Without giving up who you really are .
Jade : I do nt give up a thing . I play your girlfriend and I get exactly what I want .
Susan : I ll be right back , baby . He said no .
Paul : I would never stay away .
Susan : Am I supposed to thank you ?
Paul : Do nt . Look , you think this is going to help ?
Susan : How should I know . It is Bob s idea .
Paul : Where is he ?
Susan : He had an emergency .
Paul : Okay . Then you tell me . Exactly what I m supposed to say and what I should nt . If she wakes up and sees me at her bedside she is going to jump to conclusions and I do nt want to have to disappoint her again , Susan .
Susan : Me , either . But you re the one she wants .
Paul : Well that s not going to happen . You never wanted it to happen either .
Susan : That was before I knew that my daughter would die for you . Literally .
Paul : Look , I know how fragile Emily is . That s why I need your help . I have to get this right .
Reporter : What is your follow - up to the big opening night ?
Casey : We re going to bring in some huge acts from Chicago .
Gwen : Oh , are we ?
Casey : Gwen set the bar pretty high . Unless you can do nine shows a week I think we can get some good talent . I have a plan .
Gwen : Can we go later , like tomorrow ?
Casey : Tomorrow ?
Gwen : Yea , I kinda want to spend some time with Will .
Maddie : They look good .
Will : Well , Gwen would make anybody look good .
Maddie : Casey would make anybody sound good .
Will : Yeah , did Casey say anything about a trip to Chicago ?
Maddie : Yeah , just now . Why ?
Will : Just wondering .
Nick : Oh , what s the matter ? Not the way you pictured it ?
Carly : No . This is not the way I remember what it was like to fly solo .
Nick : Got to give it time .
Carly : Yeah , but not tonight .
Jade : I stay with you and I get to have a happy family .
Luke : But you do nt . With my parents it s just pretend . There s nothing happy about it for them .
Jade : Your dad said that he was glad I was here . He said what a big help I have been .
Luke : Yeah , he watched my mom s blood appreciate spike .
Jade : It was nt all me . Your sisters , I love your sisters . They treat me just like family .
Luke : That s because they do nt know any better . Not yet . Jade , come on , you ca nt make people love you .
Jade : They will . It takes more time with me . It will work . What ?
Luke : You re just so sad .
Jade : Do nt even
Luke : No . I ca nt do this anymore . That s what I realized tonight . I ca nt keep up this lie .
Paul : It s me . It s Paul . I heard you asked for me . Wake up , okay ? Open your eyes . Open your eyes for me .
Emily : Paul .
Paul : I m right here . Open your eyes , Emily .
Katie : Is that a yes ?
Mike : That s a shut up and marry me .
Jack : I m sorry about earlier . The Nick thing . Ca nt help it . I still get jealous .
Carly : You should .
Emily : It was a dream .
Susan : No , baby .
Emily : Let me die .

Beth : Home ? I do nt have a home anymore . Could nt live with Alan , that s for sure . I m just going to stay here . Coop might need me . He is fighting for his life trying to protect me , and he does nt regret it .
Lillian : Yeah , he loves-- just like his daddy does . With every single fiber of his being . I know where Buzz is . I have to go .
Beth : Where ?
Buzz : Oh , I should have never listened to you . You and all your crazy talk . Coop ... Coop should go after Beth you butted into my dreams . I could nt think straight . I wanted to keep him locked up , to keep him safe . You said No , it s love , he should fight for her . Well , look at him now . And now look at me , desperate , I m even sleeping in a graveyard . And not one dream ! Not one piece of advice ! Your son needs you . I need you . Where the hell are you now ?
Olivia : Emma , you have to be a little more careful with your things .
Emma : Are you mad at me , Mom ?
Natalia : Mommy s not mad at you . She s just got a lot on her mind .
Olivia : What is that supposed to mean ?
Natalia : A certain visitor back in town ?
Olivia : Em , why do nt you-- why do nt you finish up your valentine .
Emma : They re done . I m ready to deliver them .
Olivia : We re not going to do-- no , we re not going out . Okay ?
Emma : You promised .
Olivia : You can give them to your friends at school .
Natalia : You ca nt keep her locked in the house forever . He s been arrested . He s behind bars .
Olivia : He ll get out of jail . It s a family talent .
Natalia : Okay . Then ... I will go see Frank --
Olivia : Just go . If you want to see Frank , just say so .
Natalia : Where did that come from ? I m trying to help you .
Olivia : I m sorry . I m sorry . Just go .
Lizzie : Okay . You need to get better . Okay , you have to get better .
Coop : Okay . You , too .
Lizzie : I am fine , thank you very much . You re the one with all the ... attachments .
Coop : You re not fine , Lizzie . You miss Bill .
Lizzie : No , I do nt . I do nt . No .
Beth : Hey . I m glad you re here .
Lizzie : Well , do nt worry , I ll give you two plenty of time alone .
Coop : No . You two need to talk . Forgive and forget .
Lizzie : Coop , Coop , you do nt have to worry about us , okay ?
Coop : Okay . You ca nt let Alan come between you , please .
Lizzie : I m sorry . I have to get out of here .
Coop : Lizzie , Lizzie ...
Beth : I m sorry . She s , um , she s Lizzie .
Coop : Beth , do nt let her get away . Go . Go . I m not going anywhere .
Buzz : Oh , who am I kidding . I could never be mad at you . I m mad at myself . But it s easier to be blaming you than sitting by his hospital bed . I can remember ... holding him when he was a little boy . So much love-- take my breath away . And all I want to do is protect him . And now look at me . I m running away ... because I ca nt face losing him . The way I could nt face losing you . I m begging you . If there is anything you can do .
Lillian : Hi .
Buzz : Hi .
Lillian : Hey , Jenna . It s okay , I m here . I think we should go back to the hospital . Coop s been asking for you .
Buzz : He s talking ?
Lillian : ( Laughs ) He s awake . Is nt that wonderful ?
Buzz : Thank you .
Beth : God , please ... please do nt take him away from me . He s a good person . God , he s a good person . Please . There is so much that we did nt get a chance to do . We ve never gone away together . We ve never gone to the movies together . Please , I ll make any deal you want . Please do nt do this . Please .
Lizzie : I saw Dad . I was over at the crash site , and he was there . It was really scary .
Beth : It s okay , honey .
Lizzie : No , no , it was nt because it felt like before , when he tried to take me away , and I freaked out . He brought a present for Sarah , my old toy panda .
Beth : Sammy ? He brought you Sammy ? You could nt sleep without Sammy when you were little . How was your father ?
Lizzie : You mean , was he good dad or scary dad ? He acted like he did when were things were good , but ... I could nt take any chances , and I called the cops on him .
Beth : No . Honey , you said that he was kind to you !
Lizzie : It could have been a trick , Mom !
Beth : He saved Coop s life !
Lizzie : It s not all about Coop right now ! What if he has nt changed ? The last time he saw Granddad , he got shot . Do you remember that ? What if-- what if Dad is back for revenge ?
Beth : Well , then Alan can take care of himself , ca nt he ?
Lizzie : You do nt give a damn about Granddad .
Beth : No , no , no , I do nt . He was trying to blackmail me into marrying him , and everything that is happening with Coop right now is because of him .
Lizzie : He was really good to you for a really long time , until you broke his heart .
Beth : Okay , okay , we ca nt do this . We ca nt argue . Coop is right . I need you , and you need me . And even though you do nt want to admit it , you need your father , too .
Bill : Hey .
Olivia : Hi .
Bill : Did you hear about the news ?
Olivia : No , no .
Bill : Phillip is back .
Olivia : I m not telling Emma , please . I was just getting my life back together , and ...
Bill : Well , I do nt think he s here , for Emma .
Olivia : You do nt know that . He might have a plane fueled ready to take all of the kids away again .
Bill : Okay , look , listen , nothing is going to happen to Emma , okay ? She s going to be fine , I promise . All right ? You ve got me , Natalia , all right ? It s going to be okay .
Frank : Wow ! It s true , he lives ! What s going on , bro ? What s the good word from the docs ?
Coop : They re going to make me bionic .
Frank : ( Laughs ) And you should see your room at the house , man . You ve got lots of cards and flowers-- unbelievable . You re a popular guy . Who knew ?
Coop : Where s Pop ?
Frank : Well , you know Dad , he s probably harassing some of your doctors . You know , I mean , they re more scared of him than some of the new busboys , so ...
Coop : Frank , look after Dad .
Frank : Okay . Come on , Coop , you know Pop . He s soft on the outside , but he s tough as steel on the inside .
Coop : Frank , you re the tough one . He s going to turn to you . Just look out for him , okay ?
Frank : No can do , bro . That s a two - man job . And ... you know ? So you need to hurry and get better and get out of here .
Buzz : Hi . Do nt you ever scare me like this again .
Coop : Dad , you re looking more stressed than I am . What s going on ?
Lizzie : Wake up call , Mom . He tried to take your children away . You just forgive him ? Just like that ?
Beth : I do nt , I do nt forgive him . But I remember all of the good years too , not just the ending . We were a happy family once .
Lizzie : You are so fickle . Your current flame is in the hospital , and here you are just gushing over Dad .
Beth : I am far from gushing .
Lizzie : You are such a confused , messed up woman . It is no wonder I have turned out the way that I did .
Beth : Honey , I am trying to make it peace with you .
Lizzie : I do nt want to be like you . I think that you are weak and starry- eyed .
Beth : Okay . You know what ? No matter what , your father still loves you .
Lizzie : Does he ? Does that make everything okay ? I think that sounds delusional . Love is not some walk in the park , Mom . It s a mugging .
Beth : Do nt you believe that .
Lizzie : For you , it s dangerous . It s deaf , it s dumb , it s blind , and if you follow it , you ll fall in an elevator shaft .
Beth : Hey , just because you had a few bad experiences , you do nt give up on it . Look , if I had done that , I never would have found Coop .
Lizzie : Great . How s that working out for you , huh ? I did love Dad , and I loved Bill . And they both failed me . The next time I fall in love , I ll be armed .
Bill : Oh . Ah - ha that was a blast from the past . ( Laughs )
Olivia : I just needed to feel close to someone .
Bill : Any port in the storm ?
Olivia : Nice . That was nt good ? That was nt a good ...
Bill : What are you kidding me . That was a great , great kiss . But , um , you do nt want this .
Olivia : I just want someone to tell me it s going to be okay . That Phillip is nt back here because of me .
Bill : Why do you think that you re Phillip s target ?
Olivia : Because he might think that I m ruining his daughter s life .
Bill : Well , it seems she lives in a nice home with a happy mother and her best friend .
Olivia : It s the friend part that s the problem . Emma wrote this really sweet essay about Natalia and me , and Alan read it and he just came over here and started giving us a problem about our living arrangement .
Bill : Why ?
Olivia : Because the unfortunate title of the essay was My Two Mommies .
Bill : Oh !
Olivia : It was innocent . You know Emma , it was innocent . That s the way she sees us . And Alan siced Doris Wolfe on us . And , who knows , maybe he brought Phillip back here to finish the job .
Bill : Oh , that would be a new low , even for Alan .
Olivia : It was certainly humiliating .
Bill : But there is nothing to worry about , okay ? Because it is not true . You just explain to Phillip that it is some sort of misunderstanding , and he ll see how ridiculous it all is , right ? Or not ridiculous ?
Olivia : I do nt know what it is . I never really looked at her that way . But after spending so many months together and getting closer , I do nt know . I guess I just never saw it coming .
Bill : You , you sure about this ?
Olivia : No , I m not sure about anything . I do nt know what I m feeling , but I know it s more than friendship . We get each other . We click , and it scares the hell out of me . Did I say all that out loud ?
Bill : Yeah . Yeah .
Olivia : I ca nt drink wine . Say something .
Bill : So you and Natalia , that s ...
Olivia : I do nt know what it is , but it is something . So if you really cared about me , you ll forget that you ever came over here , okay ?
Bill : Okay .
Buzz : I was nt here when you woke up . You want to know where I was ? I was at your mom s grave . And I yelled at her for not being here when I needed her . And all of the time she was here watching over you .
Coop : Are you okay ?
Buzz : I ll be fine when you get home . You ve got your new book . You got the woman of your dreams waiting for you . So you have to get well .
Coop : Dad , please slow down .
Buzz : No . Come on , I want to spring you from this joint . You know , the biggest shin - dig this town has ever seen .
Coop : About that ...
Buzz : You know , I knew a scrap of metal and a call from Alan Spaulding would never stop you .
Coop : Dad , listen to me .
Buzz : Okay . All right . No big splashy party . You and Beth probably want to be alone anyway .
Coop : We ca nt waste any time right now . Because I do nt know how much time I have left . Dad , we should talk , just in case .
Buzz : You re no quitter .
Coop : No , I m not . But ...
Buzz : Look , let me get some help .
Coop : No . Dad , do nt go in there .
Buzz : Let me get a doctor .
Coop : Dad , we ve always been honest with each other , right ?
Buzz : Let me get a doctor .
Coop : There are things I need to say to you .
Buzz : No , you do nt .
Coop : Most of my life , you were this guy I would send a card to on Father s day . And then when you would come and visit me , it was like Christmas .
Buzz : I should have been there more for you when you were a kid , you know .
Coop : You were , you were always there . Even if you were nt there in person . I m glad I got a chance to come over here , got a chance to know you . I m proud of you , Dad .
Buzz : The amazing Buzz Cooper saving the world one burger at a time . We ll talk about all of this later , okay ?
Coop : Getting to know this crazy , wild family , I m so glad I m a part of it . Spending time with each other . Being in our own Cooper world .
Buzz : Look ...
Coop : Where everybody is loved and respected , and treated equal .
Buzz : Look , you re a writer . You re not a doctor , okay ? You feel bad because your sick . People get better . You re gon na be fine . You re gon na be fine . I ll be right back with the doctor .
Olivia : Hi . I thought you were staying at the hospital .
Natalia : You can relax now . Phillip is in jail .
Olivia : How s Frank ?
Natalia : I brought the Cooper s some sandwiches , you know . It s really hard being there .
Olivia : Oh , my gosh , it s been nearly a year , has nt it ? I should nt have let you go over there by yourself .
Natalia : It s almost a year . And now there is another man there fighting for his life after a car crash . It s almost a year since you got his heart . And I just stood there and watched Gus ...
Olivia : Gus die and me live .
Natalia : All I really wanted to do was just come back here . I wanted to come back here and be with you . This whole situation with Phillip , I do nt want anything to happen to you .
Olivia : Gus died but I m not going anywhere .
Natalia : How are you feeling ?
Olivia : Scared and confused .
Natalia : So ... what should I make you for lunch ? Because we have got to keep your strength up for what s ahead .
Olivia : Which is ?
Natalia : Sooner or later , you re going to have to see Phillip .
Lizzie : ( Sobbing ) What are you doing here ?
Bill : Why are happy hours never happy .
Lizzie : Go away . Please go away . Go away !
Bill : Okay . Okay , I m leaving . I m leaving . I m leaving . It s not every day a girl has to turn in her dad .
Lizzie : What else was I supposed to do ? My mom says I m supposed to find a way to ... open up my heart and forgive .
Bill : You should forgive your dad . Forgive your dad , and maybe give me another chance .
Lizzie : Oh , come on . No ! Bill , no !
Bill : Lizzie , Lizzie , stop fighting me . We belong together .
Buzz : Where s Dr. Bauer ?
Orderly : He s making rounds .
Buzz : Well , page him ! I need a doctor to look at my son . This is a hospital . This is what people do ...
Frank : Dad , Dad , Dad . Excuse us . You need to chill here a little bit .
Buzz : He s awake , but , you know , he s not acting like himself . Maybe it s the meds .
Frank : What did he say ?
Buzz : Some bull about time being short . But , I mean , he made it through the surgery , right ?
Frank : Right .
Buzz : Right . So he s going to be okay . He s going to make it . I do nt know why he is acting like ... I ca nt say it .
Frank : What , like he s trying to say good - bye ?
Buzz : Shut up , Frank ! He s not going anywhere . No one is saying good - bye to him . Not going into that room and saying good - bye to him . You got it ?
Beth : I tried to reach Lizzie . It ll take some time .
Coop : Just do nt give up . Lizzie may be angry , but she s got a good heart . Another thing she got from you .
Beth : You know what you need to do ? You need to rest .
Coop : How ? How can I ever thank you for everything that you ve brought into my life , Beth ? You were this welcome surprise that I never expected . Promise me , though , that you re never going to forget who you are , Beth , and all that you can do . If I m not around every day to tell you ...
Beth : No . No , Coop . You re young and you re strong , and you re going to beat this thing .
Coop : Beth , Beth , I need you to listen . I need you to hear me . And hear what my dad could nt . Sometimes , sometimes you can just feel things . You can see them coming .
Beth : I never expected that I would fall in love from the day we first got together . But something inside me told me to go for it . And I m so glad that I did .
Coop : It s because I m so irresistible .
Beth : You taught me , you taught me what it feels like to be happy . You loved me . You freed me .
Coop : Beth , I just asked you to follow your heart .
Beth : Do nt ask me to do this thing , please . Dont-- I ca nt , I wo nt , I wo nt let you go . Please do nt ask me , please ...
Coop : You re much stronger than you think .
Beth : You know , I spent ... I spent most of my life being a victim . But seeing myself through your eyes was an incredible gift . And I wo nt let you down .
Coop : Promise me one thing ...
Beth : I wo nt go back to him . Ever . How could I after loving you ?
Coop : What was that last thing ?
Beth : ( Sobbing )
Cooper : What did you say ?
Beth : I love you . I love you .
Coop : Just say it one more time .
Beth : I love you . And I m sorry if I was nt grateful for every minute that we had together . For the rest of my life , I ll remember every smile and every kiss .
Coop : I wrote something for you . Read it later . Please .
Beth : I feel so helpless . Please give me something to do , please give me something to do .
Coop : Find my dad . Please find my dad . Beth , please hurry . Go .
Beth : I ll go find him . You better go find Buzz . You better hurry . You better go find Buzz . Go ! He was saying good - bye .
Lillian : No , no , no , no , Beth . He s critical , but he s stabilized . I just checked his vital signs , he s ....
Beth : But have you ever seen patients that they just know , they know it s their time to go .
Lillian : I m going to go and find Rick , and he s going to check him . But I promise you he s all right . You have to call Peyton s nanny . She called and she wo nt tell me . You have to call her . Promise ?
Beth : I ll call her ... ( Sobbing )
Olivia : Let s see . M m m , that smells good . There s a lot of salt in this . What are you trying to do , kill me ?
Natalia : No . I need your rent money . Would it help you any if I went with you to see Phillip ?
Olivia : Phillip has a tendency to hurt people who cross him . I do nt think you know what he s like .
Natalia : Well , I know what the Spaulding s are like , and I know I would do anything to help Emma .
Olivia : Well , if we re going to flag a bull , we need a plan .
Natalia : We tell the truth . That Emma lives here in a wonderful home with two people who love her .
Olivia : Two people who are , what , exactly , to each other ? Because Phillip is going to want to know .
Natalia : You worry too much . And my offer still stands . If you want me with you , just ask .
Bill : I know it s got to be kind of scary to have your dad back , but he s always loved you .
Lizzie : It s not just that . Everything is so screwed up . You and me , screwed up ! My mom and Coop . My dad , my grandfather hates the Cooper s again .
Bill : You ve got to stay away from your grandfather . He is poison , and you are vulnerable right now . Which is another reason why I think you should stay away from someone like Cyrus Foley .
Lizzie : Oh ! I ca nt believe I ever believed you . You are nt trying to comfort me at all .
Bill : I am trying to comfort you .
Lizzie : No , you re not . You re looking for a way to turn me away against Cyrus and my granddad .
Bill : Look , they re only going to hurt you , all right ?
Lizzie : No , you hurt me ! You hurt me ! My granddad and Cyrus will protect me . And not just from my dad , from people like you .
Bill : I love you , Lizzie . I love you , and I have never stopped loving you .
Lizzie : You know where that crazy kind of passion gets you ? Go ask Coop .
Bill : What kind of life are you going to have without it ?
Lizzie : Just leave me alone , please , or I m going to call security . Leave ! Oh , you might want to take a cab back from your trip to the bar tonight . There have been enough car accidents .
Buzz : I guess it works . It brought me back to you . Go figure .
Coop : Dad ...
Buzz : I m here . I m not running anywhere this time . There was so much I missed when you were a kid . Little league games . Teaching you to ride a bike .
Coop : You used to tell me bedtime stories . How about it ?
Buzz : Almost 20 years ago , the love of my life brought me back a gift , a small miracle , Henry Cooper Bradshaw . And then I lost Jenna , I went a little crazy . And could nt fully appreciate the miracle that was my son . I ca nt , I ca nt ...
Coop : Finish . Finish the story . Please .
Buzz : A few years ago , I almost died . I had a heart attack . But for some reason , despite all of my mistakes , I was given a blessing . You , you back in my life . You rescued me . You re big and strong and grown up . And I ve never stopped being grateful for the miracle of you .
Coop : Dad ...
Buzz : What ?
Coop : It s a great story right there . Thank you . Good night , Dad . Thank you . Good night , Dad .
Buzz : No , no , no , no , no ! Do nt go ! Do nt go ! You re my golden boy . The best of your mother and me . A wonderful boy , wonderful son . My friend . You ve taught me so much about love , about life . This world would be a sorry place without you . Do nt go . Do nt go . Do nt go !
Coop : You know , you know what makes me the proudest ? I m just like you . ( Loud long beep )
Buzz : No ! No ! Help ! Help ! Help Coop !
Nurse : Sir . Okay settle down . Settle down !
Doctor : Check his EKG .
Nurse : Ready for shock .
Doctor : Charging .
Nurse : Clear
Doctor : Ready , clear .

Lillian : He s flatlining .
Rick : Your mother-- everybody rushed in .
Lizzie : Did he go into cardiac arrest ?
Frank : We do nt know , honey , okay ? I m sure Lillian will come out and let us know what s going on .

### Dialogue:
NEAL CONAN, HOST : This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. Yesterday, the United States Postal Service announced plans to close about 250 processing centers, lay off about 28,000 workers and accept slower first class service as a consequence. As many as 2,000 post offices could close, and Saturday delivery could be on the block, as well.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : All those cuts could reduce losses, maybe even put the USPS in the black, but when your mailbox is stuffed with direct mail ads, some raise what was once unthinkable: Has the post office outlived its usefulness?
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Our phone number, 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation on our website. Go to npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION. Later in the program, a federal appeals court approves compensation for bone marrow donors. But first, post offices.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Ian Lee joins us from the CBC studios in Ottawa. He's a professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton and an historian of both the U.S. and Canadian postal services. Nice to have you with us today.
IAN LEE : Good afternoon, Neal, it's a pleasure to be on NPR.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And when postal workers in Canada went on strike in 1990, there was outcry, pressure on the government to make changes, which they did. When postal workers went on strike this past summer, I gather the response was quite different.
IAN LEE : It was, and to even - to further unpack the story, years ago in the '70s, I was in the bank, a major Canadian bank, lending money to small, midsize businesses. And I lived through several postal strikes, and I saw the devastating impact at that time because the cash flows of the businesses would just come to a halt, a complete halt.
IAN LEE : This past strike, this last strike in June of 2011 was completely different. There was great indifference across the country towards the postal strike, and many people didn't even notice it.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Didn't even notice it?
IAN LEE : Well, in past strikes - and there's been, I should point out there's been quite a few postal strikes. Between 1965 and 1997 in Canada, there were 19 strikes and/or walkouts. Seven of them were legislated back to work by the parliament of Canada. So we have a lot of experience with postal strikes.
IAN LEE : And in past postal strikes, in the '70s, '80s and '90s, there was an immediate demand from the business community and citizens to get them back to work because of course it was so devastating. People couldn't get their pension checks, their unemployment insurance checks, their old-age pension checks, and businesses couldn't receive - obtain their cash flows.
IAN LEE : You know, they would mail out their invoices, and they couldn't get the payments back, which was devastating. This time, there was not that hue and cry from people across the country to the politicians, to the government, saying you must do something now because people were no longer dependent on it.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : There are differences between the Canadian system and the American system, but one similarity between the two countries is large, rural areas with people who are a long way away from the nearest post office or postal sorting service. What was the reaction like in places like that?
IAN LEE : You raise a very good point. In fact, that is the - I think the major sticking point that probably prevents governments from privatizing the post office or really cutting it back more because the rural communities - where in Canada and I'm sure the same in the States there's a disproportionate number of elderly people - who grew up in a different era and have a visceral attachment, an emotional attachment to the post office.
IAN LEE : And so that is where the greatest resistance lies to any attempt to scale back postal services because - partly because, as I said, this visceral attachment and partly because the high-speed Internet hasn't completely rolled out and penetrated in all rural parts of the country, and so that they're not as easily able to switch to electronic communications.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Ian Lee's account of the Canadian postal strike was cited in a recent story in the New York Times with the headline "The Junking of the Postal Service." Elisabeth Rosenthal wrote that piece. She raises the question of whether the postal service has outlived its utility.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : A few weeks ago, she reached into her mailbox in the lobby of her building in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, pulled out two credit card offers, an ad for a sale on running shoes, pizza coupons, among a lot of other junk mail, and joins us now from a studio at the New York Times, where she's a reporter and blogger. Nice to have you with us today.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Hi, nice to be here.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And again, Canada and the United States are different, but the trend is unmistakable. In this country, it is almost all direct advertising.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Oh, that's right, and one of the reasons I decided to write this article for our Sunday Review is, as I mentioned, in the lobby of my building, there was a petition recently that said: Save Saturday delivery. And I was somewhat surprised at the emotional outpouring of support, you know, signatures just pouring onto this paper.
And I thought : Well, are people thinking about the utility of Saturday delivery to their lives? And so two days later, I tried to collect what was in my mailbox, and it certainly wasn't anything I couldn't have waited until Monday for, and frankly, most if it I could have waited forever and been happy not to have.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And indeed there are any number of places around the country, you're saying this is a terrible waste of paper. We should find ways to ban this.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Right. I mean, I cover the environment. That's my usual beat. And I know that cities everywhere in the United States are struggling to get more things recycled, get paper out of the landfill, and this is an enormous burden on cities and on taxpayers because much of this mail is never even looked at.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Not even looked at.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Yup.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And as you look at what is - the trend is unmistakable. I mean, people do request that their - I guess their credit card bills, most of us, show up on paper. We tend to pay them, though, electronically.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Right. I think there's a bit of a lag there. Many people now will pay electronically. The post office says, and research shows, that they still mostly want to see the paper statement, although frankly I've gone over to pretty much all electronic.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : And I should mention in terms of what came to my mailbox that Saturday. I have in the last year used a service that's mentioned in the article called Catalog Choice, where you can opt out of catalogs that you don't want. So the amount of direct mail that was in my mailbox that Saturday was vastly less than it would have been a year ago.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Oh, without the L.L. Bean and the Harry and David and the Macy's and Bloomingdale's...
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : I get almost no catalogs now.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : All right. Let's see if we can get some listeners involved in the conversation, 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. Has the postal service outlived its usefulness? We'll begin with Mark(ph), Mark calling us from St. Louis.
MARK : Yes, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I don't think the postal service has outlived its usefulness, and in regard to the comments about direct mailing, I certainly understand some people's aspect of looking out for the environment and saying, well, I don't really want that.
MARK : However, American business clearly utilizes direct mail, and in this economic climate, they don't throw money away. So it must have a payback for American business to advertise through the mail.
MARK : I would hate to see that thrown in the dumpster as we're trying to - so to speak - as we're trying to see some economic rebound, that that direct advertising goes by the wayside. And with regard to e-bill pay and those sort of things, there are still a great number of people who either choose not to avail themselves of electronic finance but don't have access to it, not to mention the rural constituent.
MARK : But to criticize direct mailing as being this great pariah I think is somewhat misplaced because, again, American business obviously finds a useful component with direct mail economically.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Elisabeth Rosenthal, in addition to that argument - and he's right, they don't send this stuff out if it doesn't work - there are other economic arguments, including, what, half-a-million employees in the United States Postal Service.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Yes, I think, you know, the extreme is to say do we need a postal service at all. The reality is that we need to think what kind of postal service do we need? And I think the business argument - I mean, to me, I wanted to raise two questions. One is, do we need mail every day, when, for example, recycling gets picked up in my building once a week? Maybe the proportions should be different.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Also, yes, direct mail is clearly invaluable for businesses, but is that something, then, that should be a government service, or should it be privatized the way it has been in Europe? Certainly when mail services, national mail services have been privatized in Europe, direct mail still continues to be delivered, and it even expands. But that's not considered a government function anymore.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Countries in Europe, for the most part, don't have Alaska to worry about. But Ian Lee, the - I wonder, how is this debate going on in Canada? And is there Saturday delivery in Canada, for example?
IAN LEE : Well, to deal with the last question first. We eliminated Saturday delivery. Oh, it must have been 15, 20 years ago. But we've been cutting - in addition to that, we've been cutting back or pulling back on service. All new homes since 1985 no longer receive mail to the door. There are green boxes set up in every suburb at the end of each street, and they basically have an external, outside post box with addresses, and you have a key, and so it's - they've done this to try to, you know, to save money by eliminating door-to-door in all new housing projects that have been built from that point forward.
IAN LEE : But if I can just turn to the - your other question, because we have been having a very similar debate on the, you know, the ad mail. The volumes are plummeting on first class mail because people are switching to electronic banking and to electronic payment deposit.
I obtained a figure from the government of Canada : 91 percent of all pension checks are deposited electronically. Well, 98.5 percent of all payments to the clearing system are now digitally cleared, that is to say not using a piece of paper. And on the flyer side, the newspapers, of course, are competing - the post office is competing with the newspapers to deliver those flyers. And then another substitute is coming along called electronic coupons.
I obtained a figure from the government of Canada : Companies like Home Depot are now offering the possibility of obtaining your flyer electronically by providing your email address. So there are alternatives to the post office that are emerging.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : There's an email here from Doris in Oklahoma, and she writes: In the debate about the future of the USPS, I've heard many complain about the proliferation of junk mail. We should consider many households may use circulars from the grocery and discount stores to help plan increasingly tight budgets.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And yes, there are some coupons available electronically. There's also, of course, sites like Groupon. But again, some people don't have access to those materials.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : We're discussing has the postal service outlived its usefulness or perhaps what kind of postal service do we need. Does it need to be a federal service? Give us a call, 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. Stay with us. I'm Neal Conan. It's the TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : This is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. I'm Neal Conan. In 2006, nearly 100 million pieces of first class mail passed through the post office. That number dropped to 78 million this year and should be cut in half by 2020. That's a lot of money being lost to email and online bill payment.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Last year, the United States Postal Service lost more than $5 billion. It's projected to lose a record $14 billion next year. In response, the postal service continues to look at cuts in jobs and services, which raises a question: Has the post office outlived its usefulness?
NEAL CONAN, HOST : 800-989-8255. Email us, talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation at our website. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION. Our guests, New York Times' Elisabeth Rosenthal, she wrote a recent piece headlined "The Junking of the Postal Service;" also Ian Lee, a professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University in Ottawa. He's studied the postal services in both the United States and in Canada. Let's go next to Ben(ph), and Ben's with us from Barilla in Ohio.
BEN : Yeah, hi. Yeah, I think instead of scrapping the post office, it does a lot of things, and in fact I think it should be given more responsibilities than it already has.
BEN : I spent a year in Germany, and if you want a bank account with the National Bank of Germany, you open an account, you do all your banking at the post office. You also go there if you want telephone service or, you know, since the Internet, you want Internet service, you get that at the post office, too.
BEN : You know, and in light of all the problems we've been having with these private banks worldwide, all the failures there, I think it would be good just to have, you know, a reasonable, not, you know, give-me-all-the-cash-you-can kind of banking system, but, you know, normal banks like we used to have.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Well, has the banking system outlived its usefulness is another program entirely, Ben, but...
BEN : Well, sure, but what I'm saying is that there's a lot more that the post office can do. You already have an office in, you know, every town and city and burg in the country. I mean, it's a great resource; we ought to utilize it.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Elisabeth Rosenthal, it's - USPS is, well, it's got a charter. It's covered by Congress, too.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Right, and I think some people would say that that charter is too limited in just in the way that our caller has mentioned. When you look at the German postal service, they very long ago decided to - saw that mail volume was decreasing and decided to see what else they could do. And they got into a whole array of other services, such as banking, they sell phone cards, they have, you know, Internet exchanges for labor, different kinds of work. You can do an awful lot in the German post office.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : They actually own DHL. So when I get a package from DHL here in New York, I'm doing business with the German post office. And they've been very, very creative in doing things like that. Someone from the German post office told me that, well, we have someone on every block in Germany every day, almost in every home.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Why don't we do things like delivering meals to the homebound elderly? I mean, the postal service could do a lot of things, but its charter at the moment prevents it from doing so.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Ben, thanks very much for the call. And Ian Lee, we need to go back in time a little bit to remember that at one period, and indeed for many, many years, the postal service was considered, well, one of the essential functions of government.
IAN LEE : Indeed. The - when I did my research, I was interested not so much in the history as in the policy: Why was the government the owner of the post office from the very beginning? So I went back to the origins of the Canadian, and that didn't really provide the answers. So I went back to the origins of the U.S. Postal Service, and then that drove me back to the origins of the Royal Mail in England.
IAN LEE : And I found that it was at the very beginning, the monopoly was passed by the king, and this was in the 1500s, to ensure private communications through private means could not occur. In other words, you had to put your postings in the Royal Mail so that they could ferret out or discover seditious or treasonous activity.
IAN LEE : And then once that threat to the king had gone away, the emerging government, meaning the emerging democracy, quickly realized that the post office was an absolutely vital way of communicating with citizens, and it became far more critical in the United States and Canada because the distances of these two countries are so vast.
IAN LEE : And so it became - you know, in the early records of looking at Hansard for the early Canadian parliament and looking at the early records in the Congress, I found that they were spending most of their time debating the post office. It was a really, really important organization.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Let's go next to Jennifer(ph), Jennifer with us from Amagansett in New York.
JENNIFER : Hi, thank you so much for taking my call.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Go ahead, please.
JENNIFER : Sure. I'm actually sitting outside of my local post office. I live on Eastern Long Island, and there is no mail service directly to any of our houses in our village. So we get a free post office box from the post office, which we - I was just explaining, we basically, it's just used for junk mail. I come two or three times a week, and I clean out all the catalogs and the junk and the credit card offers and the political flyers.
JENNIFER : I rarely get any actual mail. And it's a big inconvenience for people like me because every time I order from a catalog, it can't go to my post office, it has to come to my home. So it's a completely useless institution out here, I feel.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Useless and wouldn't make a lot of difference if that was the USPS or the Ben Jones Private Mail Service?
JENNIFER : Yeah, it wouldn't really make a difference. I only - I literally only come to clean out my mailbox once or twice a week because it just gets overstuffed with junk.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Interesting, Jennifer, thanks very much for the call. Good luck.
JENNIFER : You're welcome.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Joining us now is Bill Snodgrass. He's with us from North Platte in Nebraska, where he's a pharmacist and the owner of a USave Pharmacy. Nice to have you with us today.
BILL SNODGRASS : Nice to be with you.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And I wonder: How important is the postal service next-day delivery, which was one of the things that may be sacrificed in this latest announced plan of cutbacks?
BILL SNODGRASS : Well, in our particular area, it's really important. We mail probably 100, 200 prescriptions a day up to rural areas from the city of North Platte. And most of those are mailed to people that are 60, 65 years and up that live in small, rural communities. It may be as far as 60, 70, 80 miles away from here that it's really hard for them to drive.
BILL SNODGRASS : And they rely on the mail for a lot of their services, one of which is their prescription delivery, so, you know, their heart medications, their diabetic supplies. We mail most of that to them, and if we mail it today, in most cases they have it tomorrow. If not, they always have it within two days.
BILL SNODGRASS : And with - they're closing the distribution center in North Platte, and when they do that, we'll probably go three to five days, maybe longer. And that could put a real hardship on those people, you know, receiving their medications on time.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : I wonder also how are your customers reacting to the prospect.
BILL SNODGRASS : Well, you know, as usual, they have - the problem really isn't there yet because the distribution isn't closed, and I think the awareness of it is a little bit on the lacking side. So we really haven't hardly had much feedback. It won't be until it doesn't show up is when the feedback will occur.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Well, have you considered the idea of switching from the USPS to FedEx or United Parcel Service or one of those other delivery companies?
BILL SNODGRASS : That's what we're going to have to do. Currently, we mail out free. And our average package size, the postage on it runs about $1.68. And if we go to FedEx Second Day Ground or UPS Ground, it raises it to the $4, $4.50 level.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : So that's a considerable addition on to everybody's prescription.
BILL SNODGRASS : Right, exactly. You're adding, you know, $300, $400 a day.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : That's quite a change. This - you've seen this prospect creep up and service slow down and change over the years. Can you characterize the difference?
BILL SNODGRASS : Well, up to this point, we really have had no difference. The service level out here is just really very high. Like I was saying, we do have a distribution center here, and if we mail that up into the most rural part of the state, if we drop it in the mail this afternoon, it's there tomorrow. I mean, you can't get much better than that.
BILL SNODGRASS : And the - we've had just excellent service. Now with the closing of the distribution centers, and there's about four of them, I think, in the state that are going to be closed, they're going to move our distribution to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and that's where we're going to run into the multiple-day problem. You know, they've got to truck it there 300 to 400 miles, and then it's sorted and then re-distributed out of there.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : There's more than a few times during the winter that can be a...
BILL SNODGRASS : That's going to be a problem. And so, you know, it's kind of a unique situation, and it's such a lifeline to a lot of people in those rural areas. Now, obviously they choose to live there, and they can choose to, I guess, drive that way, but a lot of them, that trip's going to be 150-mile roundtrip.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Well, we wish you the best of luck, thanks very much for the call.
BILL SNODGRASS : Well, I appreciate it, thank you for the time. You bet, bye.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : And Elisabeth Rosenthal, you mentioned going down to your post box in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, that's a long way from Cheyenne or remote communities in Montana or Nebraska or Wyoming or Alaska.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Well, it sure is, and I don't think I would advocate that people in rural states, rural areas of rural states wouldn't be able to get their medicine on time. I guess what I wanted to question is whether flooding the Upper West Side of Manhattan with junk mail is a good way to finance that. Maybe we have to think, you know, outside the traditional mailbox. Maybe there's a different kind of structure that would serve the current needs of the country much, much better.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Here's an email we have from Jeremy(ph) in Cincinnati. The United States Postal Service has announced that the time to deliver periodicals will now be between two and nine days. The change could be fatal to weekly news magazines and daily newspapers. These publications rely on fast delivery in order to maintain their subscription base and keep articles relevant. The more time it takes to deliver the magazine, the earlier the deadline for printing is, so the magazine can arrive on a specific day.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Therefore the more days between printing and delivery, the fewer people will subscribe because the articles will be more dated. Would the newspapers and periodicals be able to sue to prevent these delays on grounds of hindering their right to free speech because at the moment federal law requires subscriptions be sent through the U.S. Postal Service? Is that true? Is that accurate? Do you know, Ian Lee?
IAN LEE : Well, if I can - I'm not sure about that part, but I wanted to really to respond to the larger issue that's involved that Elisabeth has really touched on very nicely, and it shows that the model, the business model of the U.S. Postal Service is no longer viable because 90 - and I estimate about 90 percent of citizens don't really need it that much anymore. They don't notice it. But 10 - the other 10 percent need it very, very badly, as the previous caller pointed out.
IAN LEE : And why the business model is flawed is that their costs are going up each year. There's more addresses, a million more addresses a year that must be served, but the volumes are declining, which - and, of course, the volumes are declining most rapidly in first-class mail, which is by far and away the most profitable. And I think it's 45 cents a letter now in the U.S. And so ad mail is only generating two or three or four cents a piece. So if you're losing every letter that the post office loses - and I mean that is no longer mailed to the post office - has to be offset by, you know, 20 or 30 pieces of ad mail. And so this business model is failing. It's declining before our eyes.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Elisabeth Rosenthal, you also note that this is a business afflicted by nostalgia that many people remember that invitation that they got through the mail or that wonderful letter they got from the boyfriend or the girlfriend in summer camp.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Sure. I mean, I love the nostalgia - I love the experience of opening my mailbox and hoping there's something good and wonderful inside, but there isn't most of the time anymore. And there certainly isn't every day, so maybe we should think about no Saturday, maybe we should think about twice - I don't know what the answer is, but I'm - I do know that as the U.S. Postal Service is struggling to survive financially, the model isn't serving the people very well at the moment.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Elisabeth Rosenthal is a reporter and blogger for The New York Times. Also with us, Ian Lee, a professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University in Ottawa and a historian of both the U.S. and Canadian postal services. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. And here's an email from Jennifer(ph) in Fort Worth. Please note the U.S. Postal Service is a private entity that does not receive taxpayer money. However, it is the only private company mandated by law to prefund health and retirement funds.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Wouldn't it make sense to let go of all the government control and let the post office run like every other business? Elisabeth Rosenthal, I think quasigovernmental agency is probably more accurate.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Well, yes. I mean, most of the European post offices have now been privatized. The irony at some level is that they look very much like the U.S. Postal Service from the user perspective. I don't think when you're getting mail in Germany or Sweden or Denmark, you think, oh, this feels really different. It's the same. So, yes, maybe that's the answer.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Let's go next to - this is Gary(ph). Gary with us from Wichita.
GARY : Yeah. Hey, I love the show.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Thank you.
GARY : In fact, it was on a previous show that I found out that UPS and FedEx actually use the United States Postal Service as like a last-mile delivery service. And it seems like there's a lot of that that can be utilized to add efficiency and to change the postal service and think outside the box. Say, this guy in Kearney, Nebraska, you know, maybe a way to get it to the distribution service - center would be by overnight and then let the post office send it the rest of the way.
GARY : But another point I've been wanting to bring up for a long time is I think they should get rid of Saturday service but do it in a way - if you take one-sixth of the postal carriers off the street and then you give everybody an option where they pay like a dime a week or whatever, and they can have their mail set aside if they have to have Saturday service, set aside at their local post office, and now, there's an extra one or two employees at the desk. And so businesses or anybody that needs medication or whatever can still get that on Saturday, but you can take a lot of feet off the ground by doing that.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Get a lot of feet off the ground, well, again, Elisabeth Rosenthal, there's an awful lot of feet to get off the ground. This is a major employer.
ELISABETH ROSENTHAL : Yes. And I think that's certainly a huge issue particularly in the time of recession. You know, what should we do with all the people who work for the post office as - if we want to downsize it? But then, again, we could go back to the caller who lived in Germany, there's certainly incredible room if the post office charter is changed for thinking of new and different things the post office can do. I mean, it's an incredible institution. At one level, it gets mail delivered across the country overnight. It is there on every block in the United States every day. So maybe we can think of other things it could do.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Thanks very much for the call, Gary.
GARY : I have a great idea if you want - that you came up - when you talked about another idea. Why aren't they out there reading the gas and the water meters?
NEAL CONAN, HOST : Because they don't work for the gas and the water companies but...
GARY : No...
NEAL CONAN, HOST : ...if they could, I understand what you're saying, is you could - here's an email we have from Susie(ph). As a registered nurse, I've noticed the absence of the argument of having someone regularly stop by the homes of the elderly, the ill and the otherwise disenfranchised, many of whom are on short on resources and support, provides a significant public health benefit. The postal carrier provides a pair of eyes that can notice when someone has failed to collect their mail for a few days or when something just doesn't seem quite right.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : I realize this is not the explicit role of the postal service, but for some reason, for some people, the postal carrier is the only person who regularly comes by. So he or she is particularly positioned to notice changes that may indicate problems given the environment of cuts to social programs and struggling health care systems. The postal service seems a relatively cost-efficient way to provide a check for the medically vulnerable among us. Yet, another aspect of the postal service that we sometimes overlook.
IAN LEE : Neal, can I jump in on this?
NEAL CONAN, HOST : If you're very quick, please.
IAN LEE : I'll be very quick. We went through a very similar debate in the mid-'80s, and the post office realized they couldn't carry their costs on their base. So they said we have to diversify our services, offer catalogs, maybe charge to elderly shut-ins. And what happened was conservative party MPs protested because they said this was subsidized competition. Government assets were being used to compete unfairly against small businesses in the private sector.
NEAL CONAN, HOST : We're going to have to leave there. Ian Lee and Elisabeth Rosenthal, thank you. This is NPR News.
### Summary:
| The U.S. Postal Service has announced it will move forward with plans to close some 250 processing centers and lay off workers. The cuts may help save $3 billion a year by 2015, and could add a day to the delivery time of many shipments. The USPS is also reviewing post offices for possible closures.

Kay : I got the book . Do I look under f for floating or g for gravity ?
Tabitha : S for spinning ! And hurry ! I m going to throw up ! Whoa .
Kay : Ok .
Tabitha : Whoa !
Kay : Wait , wait , I found one .
Taththa : Oh !
Kay : Ok . Spinning in the air like a twirling top , by chanting these words you soon will stop ?
Tabitha : Oh , try again !
Kay : Ok .
Tabitha : Your powers are nt fully charged yet ! Oh , whoa !
Kay : Ok . Spinning in the air like a twirling top , by chanting these words you soon will stop !
Tabitha : Oh ! Ohoh !
Kay : Tabitha , get off me !
Tabitha : Oh , oh , sorry , dear . Oh , that s what we call a crash - landing .
Kay : Yeah , I do nt really care about that , tabitha , but we are both pregnant and if we keep doing stuff like this , one of us is going to hurt our babies .
Tabitha : Oh , I do nt want that any more than you do , dear , but I do nt have any control over these weird and wacky --
Tabitha : Who in heaven could that be ?
Kay : Maybe miguel came to see me .
Tabitha : Of his own free will ? Oh , oh , I do nt think so , dear .
Kay : Simone ? What are you doing here ? Why are nt you at home , playing the victim at your family meeting like I told you to ?
Simone : I could nt take any more of whitney s lame - o excuses for stealing chad away from me . Besides , the meeting was a bust . My mom had to go to the hospital , my dad forbid us from ever seeing chad again . My life sucks , and it s all whitney s fault .
Tabitha : Hmm . If you think things are bad now , simone , just you wait and see .
Antonio : What is it , sheridan ? What ca nt you do ?
Sheridan : I ca nt seem to calm down . There s just so much that s happened . I ca nt deal with it all . Oh , god .
Antonio : I ll go finish making your tea . That should help soothe you . Hold on .
Sheridan : Thanyoyou .
Luis : Sheridan , I know that you re on edge , ok -- I am , too -- but once we tell antonio the truth , it s going to be better .
Sheridan : That s just it , luis , we ca nt tell him now .
Luis : Sheridan , do nt do this to me , all right , do nt do this to us . The longer we put off being honest with antonio , the worse it s going to get .
Sheridan : But , luis , you heard how he was at the hospital nursery . He s already in love with this baby . He s -- he s coming up with names , suggesting you be its godfather .
Luis : Yeah , but the longer that we re dishonest with him , the more time he has to build up his hopes and the harder it s going to be for him .
Sheridan : Losing his wife and finding out that he s not a father all at the same time --
luis : Sheridan , do nt you see the pattern developing here ?
Luis : All right , you would nt be married to antonio and most likely carrying my baby if we d have been honest with him from the get - go .
Sheridan : I hate this .
Luis : Yeah , I hate this , too ! I hate what it s doing to you and I hate the stress on the baby . Sheridan , we have to tell him .
Antonio : Tell me what ? Makes us f present threat of that people are nt going
T.C. : Maybe I have nt done right by my girls . Maybe I ve given too much attentn n to whitney and not enough attention to simone .
Liz : Now , T.C. , Now you have got to stop blaming yourself for your family s problems . It is not your fault that eve is never here enough .
T.C. : I mean , I know she tries , I know she loves our girls , and I know she loves me .
Liz : Well , even so , you ca nt do it all by yourself . Now , you and your girls need someone who is here for them when they need them .
T.C. : Yeah , but eve s job is so demanding that sometimes she does nt have time for her own family .
Liz : Well , maybe you re right to be worried , then .
T.C. : Worried ?
Liz : Well , I mean , how long can this go on before -- well , before it s too late ?
Eve : Check the other burn victims . Make sure no one s going into shock .
Nurse : Yes , doctor .
Eve : Take him to bed three .
Nurse : Dr. Russell , we have another incoming . He has 40 % second- and third- degree burns .
Eve : Start a lactate ringer , check his carboxyhemoglobin level .
Nurse : Yes , doctor .
Eve : And see if you can find me a phone . I need to call home before it s too late .
Nurse : Too late for what , doctor ?
Eve : Please , just get me a phone .
Nurse : Yes .
Antonio : So what is it you wanted to tell me ?
Luis : Tonio , you better sit down .
Antonio : Just cut the drama and tell me what you have to say , luis .
Luis : All right . Now , look , the truth is --
Luis : Damn it . This could be headquarters . Lopez fitzgerald .
Pilar : Mijo , you have to come to the main house right away .
Luis : Mama , what s wrong ?
Pilar : It s theresa . Julian is trying to throw her out and he wo nt let her take little ethan with her .
Luis : Where does julian get off thinking he can evict his own wife ?
Pilar : Oh , brace yourself , mijo . It seems that julian and theresa were never legally married .
Luis : What ?
Pilar : Listen , I ll explain it all later , but your sister has locked herself up in the bedroom with the baby and she wo nt come out , and julian is insisting that crane security break down the door and I m afraid the baby and theresa are going to be hurt . Please , you have to come over here and help your sister .
Luis : I m on my way .
Antonio : Wait a minute , what was that about julian trying to evict theresa from the house ?
Luis : Yeah , well , turns out she s not his wife .
Antonio : What ?
Sheridan : You ve got to be kidding .
Luis : Yeah , julian wants her gone from the house , but he wants to keep little ethan .
Antonio : Over my dead body .
Luis : Yeah , yours and mine both . Theresa s locked in the room with the baby . Julian s goons are there , ready to break the door down . All right , look , I got to get over there before theresa or the baby gets hurt .
Sheridan : Well , I m coming with you .
Luis : All right .
Julian : What kind of girly - man guards are you that you ca nt break down a simple door ?
Guard : But , sir , it s solid wood .
Second guard : And thick . All the doors in this place are .
Rebecca : Well , as they should be in a mansion .
Rebecca s voice : A mansion I ll soon be mistress of .
Julian : All right , go find an ax , a battering ram -- whatever it takes to break down this door . Go on , tout de suite .
Miguel : Hey , look , if your goons hurt my sister or my nephew , I m going to hurt you , mr . Crane .
Rebecca : Look , there has to be an easier way to open the door . Now , what about an extra key ?
Julian : Well , if there is one , I have no idea where it would be .
Rebecca : Ok , well -- well , pilar , you re the head housekeeper . Where do we keep the extra keys ?
Pilar : Ivy did not want there to be any for security reasons .
Rebecca : Ok . Well , what about ethan and gwen s connecting door ? Gwen ? Ethan ?
Theresa : Ethan ? Ethan , ethan , please . Please speak to me . Oh , god . Oh , my god , I ve killed him . I ve killed ethan . Oh , my god .
theresa : He s dead . Oh , I ve killed the man that I love .
Theresa : He s alive . He s alive . Thank you , god !
Theresa : Ethan ? Ethan ? Ethan ? Are you all right ?
Ethan : Theresa .
Theresa : Are you all right , ethan ? Are you ok ?
Ethan : Yeah , I think so .
Theresa : .K. Oh , oh . Oh , my gosh . Easy , easy . Oh , god . Oh , god . Oh , ethan , I am so , so sorry that I whacked you with that vase . I thought that you were one of julian s goons trying to sneak in here ! Oh , god . Oh , god .
Ethan : Theresa --
theresa : Wait , wait .
Ethan : Theresa , look --
theresa : Ok .
Ethan : Look , I came in -- I came in here to reason with you before somebody gets hurt .
Theresa : Reason with me about what ? I am not leaving this house without my baby !
Ethan : Theresa , I get where you re coming from with julian , ok , but he is insisting that crane security knock down that door . I would hate to see little ethan get hurt by wood shards flying all over the place or something .
Theresa : Oh , god , you re right . Yorere right .
Theresa : Ok . Ok . Oh , god . Oh , my god , I ca nt believe that this is happening . All I wanted to be was mrs . Crane , mrs . Ethan crane , and then I wound up being mrs . Julian crane , and that dishonor -- it cost me you .
Ethan : Theresa --
theresa : The one person I love most in this world .
Ethan : Theresa , honey , you need to focus on here and now , ok ?
Theresa : But i am . Little ethan is the only good thing that has come out of this mess , and now julian wants to take him from me ! Well , I wo nt let him ! I wo nt let that evil man touch my baby !
Ethan : I do nt blame you . That s why I m here -- to help you any way I can .
Gwen : Ethan ? Where did he go ? Do nt even tell me he s in there with theresa . Ethan ? Ethan ?
Gwen : Oh , great . Ethan ? Ethan , are you in there ?
Ethan : Um , yes , gwen . I m talking to theresa .
Julian : What is going on ? Is he in there ?
Gwen : Yeah --
julian : Ethan , I insist that you unlock this door .
Theresa : No , donT. Do nt do it .
Julian : Ethan , if you do nt open this door immediately , you re fired from crane industries .
Theresa : No , please . Please do nt give in to julian s threats . Please protect me and little ethan . Please ? Please ?
Chad : Hey , it s ok , baby . It s ok . I m here . Just tell me what it is that s got you so upset .
Whitney : Well , things at home are worse than ever .
Chad : The family meeting was a bust ?
Whitney : Well , I was hoping that mom would help me convince daddy that he was wrong about you so that we could be together without having to sneak around all the time . But then she got called away to the hospital for an emergency . And then simone could nt stand to be in the same room with me , so she stormed upstairs . So I left .
Chad : Hey , I m sorry everything is nt better .
Whitney : I just feel like my whole life is falling apart , you know ?
Chad : No , no , no , it isnT. Look , I love you , you love me . As long as we have each other , everything s going to be ok .
Whitney : Promise ?
Chad : Promise .
Tabitha : If you lovebirds think things will be ok , just wait till T.C. Finds you coupling on that couch .
Kay : Simone , things are going to be fine .
Simone : No , they wo nt ! My sister stabbed me in the back by stealing chad away from me . And now my dad has forbidden the both of us from ever seeing chad again . What am I going to do , kay ? I love chad . I want to beitith him .
Kay : I know , I know . Just give it time , ok ? Let the dust settle and let everyone calm down , and then we ll figure out what to do , ok ?
Simone : I do nt think my dad is ever going to calm down .
Kay : Just --
simone : I m -- I m sorry , tabitha . I m just -- I m just so upset .
Tabitha : No , no , no , that s all right , dear . Affairs of the heart can be so volatile , especially for you young people .
Simone : What on earth is that ?
singer : You are my passion for life
tabitha : What on earth is what for , dear ?
Simone : The bowl . Kay , you -- you have to see what s in the bowl .
Kay : I do nt know what you re talking about . There s --
simone : Well -- what did you do that for ?
Tabitha : Do what for ? I m just about to peel an onion for a stew I m making , and if you peel onions underwater , eyey do nt make you cry .
Simone : But I saw whitney and chad in the water just now !
Kay : Simone ? That s impossible .
Simone : Look , I know that it sounds crazy , but I saw whitney and chad making love in the studio like I found them before !
Tabitha : Oh , my .
Kay : Simone , um , honey , I think you re probably just so upset by finding whitney and chad in the studio earlier that you imagined seeing them in the bowl of water right now . I mean , that s --
tabitha : Yes , I agree with kay .
Kay : Yeah .
Simone : Really ?
Tabitha : Mm - hmm , absolutely . That was it .
Simone : Wow . I must be really upset .
T.C. : You re right , liz . How much longer can this go on ? I mean , my family is having some major problems here . Eve offered to solve them , then she just ran out . I feel like my whole world is crashing all around me and I ca nt do anything to stop it .
Liz : Oh , T.C. I can only imagine how frustrating this is for you . Ooh . You are so tense .
C.C. : Yeah .
Liz : No wonder , given all you ve been through today .
T.C. : Hmm .
Liz : You know what you need ? A little sip of your special scotch . That ll relax you .
T.C. : You got that right .
Liz : Ok , I ll get it . Ooh . Looks like you re out .
T.C. : Oh , there s some more down in the basement .
Liz : Ok , I ll get it .
T.C. : No , I ll get it , I ll get it . You wo nt know where it is .
Liz : Thank you , dear sister , for making this , oh , so easy for me .
Liz : Russell residence .
Eve : Liz ? Put T.C. On .
Liz : He ca nt come to the phone right now .
Eve : Thank you . Why not ?
Liz : He s busy getting us a drink . You know , he insisted on breaking out his best bottle of scotch just for me .
Julian : Ethan ? You open this door at once .
Theresa : No , please . Please protect little ethan and me ! Please !
Julian : I mean it , ethan . If you do nt open this door , I m going to fire you from crane industries .
Gwen : Great .
Luis : Mama ? Miguel ? Where are you ?
Pilar : Anank god you re here .
Antonio : What s going on ?
Pilar : Your sister s still barricaded inside the bedroom with the baby . Ethan got in through the connecting door from his bedroom and he s trying to convince her to come out .
Miguel : Yeah , but we do nt think he s having much luck .
Fox : Well , face it , gwen -- you know , ethan and theresa are like a -- like a magnet and iron , always drawn to each other , right ? There s nothing you can do to stop it .
Gwen : Yeah , we ll just see about that . Excuse me . Ethan , listen to me -- ok , julian is serious . He is going to fire you if you if you do nt stop siding with theresa . Then what are we going to do ? Ethan , we re expecting a baby and it s our job to provide for our baby , and since I quit my job when you started working for crane industries , we need your salary and health benefits more than ever . Please do nt put our financial well - being at risk over this . The stress it would cause me would not be good for our baby .
Ethan : My god .
Theresa : What about little ethan ? The stress that he will feel being left here without me ?
Gwen : Ethan , I know you feel badly for theresa , and , believe me , I do , too . I could nt even imagine how much it would hurt to be separated from my baby , but -- but , ethan , you can file an appeal for theresa first thing tomorrow and then go in late to work . But , sweetheart , that is all you can do . Theresa s being unreasonable to think that she can gain anything by just holing up like this . Please , ethan , please , please do nt let her cause any more problems for us . Think of me . Ethan , think of our baby .
Gwen : What about our baby ? What about our future ? Ethan , please do right by us and open the door .
Theresa : Help me . Ethan , I am begging you !
Ethan : Theresa , theresa , gwen is right . All right , you know I care about little ethan , but I -- I ve got to put my wife and our child first .
Theresa : No ! No , please .
Ethan : Theresa , look , I m more than happy to help you legally , but what do you really hope to gain by keeping the baby locked up in here ? I mean , what about food for him ?
Theresa : Well , julian -- he wo nt let a crane heir starve .
Ethan : No , maybe not , but you just ca nt keep a child holed up in here , either . That s not right . Theresa , be reasonable . You need to stop this now .
Theresa : I canT. Julian has left me no choice .
Ethan : You can choose to leave . You can choose to fight him another day . I ll help you any way I can , but you have to be reasonable .
Antonio : Theresa , you need to open the door now .
Miguel : Theresa , the whole family s here .
Luis : We re not going to let julian take your baby away .
Theresa : I m saved , ethan .
Juanan : You re so wrong , luis . You see , this is a court order granting me full temporary custody of my son . As an officer of the law , you are sworn to uphold the court s decision .
Luis : Why do nt I just choke you with this instead ?
Sheridan : Hey , hey .
Antonio : Theresa , it s time to come out .
Ethan : Antonio s right . You need to stop this now . Do nt make a bad situation worse .
Singer : We never play kissy - face in front of strangers and we never run to each other in slow motion no rolling around on the shore with sand between our toes but I guess this is a different kind of wonderful we re in love in the real world it s not what I thought it would be but I ca nt let this go a different kind of happiness does nt get more real than this it s not what they said it would be but I ca nt let this go oh , oh , oh
simone : I hate my sister for what she did to me . She knew how much I loved chad and she still went after him anyway . I ll never forgive her for this . Never .
Kay : Hey . I know a way we can get back at whitney .
Simone : Whatever it is , I ll do it . That s how much I hate whitney .
Kay : Well , good , because I think you re absolutely going to love this .
Simone : Go on .
Kay : We should call your dad and tell him that whitney and chad are together in the studio , banging their brains out . And then he s get going to get so mad , he s going to go down to the studio , he ll catch them in the act , and he ll ground whitney for life .
Simone : Ok , wait , wait , wait . Why would I tell my dad something you said I only imagined I saw in the bowl of water ?
Eve : I mean it . You leave him alone .
Liz : Do nt hold your breath , sis . T.C. Is desperate for company , and I plan to give it to him .
Eve : Do nt you dare .
Liz : Oh , and , eve ? Do nt call again .
Eve : Wait .
Nurse : Dr. Russell , we need you over here .
T.C. : Who was that on the phone ?
Liz : Oh , it was just some annoying woman doing research . But I made it clear to her that she was not to bother you and the girls again .
T.C. : Thanks , liz .
Liz : My pleasure .
Simone : Why would I tell my dad something about whitney I only imagined ?
Kay : Why ? Well , because figure the odds . If whitney s upset , where s she going to go ? Straight to chad , right ?
Simone : Right . Hmm . And she was nt at home when I left to come over here .
Kay : Trust me , simone , I know that whitney is with chad and I know they re at the studio . And if chad does nt answer his phone right now , it s because they are banging their brains out .
Simone : Chad s answering machine .
Tabitha : Oh , my .
Simone : You re right . Whitney must be at the studio , doing it with the man that I love . Well , you know what ? I m going to teach her something . Wait . I -- I ca nt call my dad . He ll recognize my voice .
Kay : Oh , that s ok , I ll do it . Yeah , I can disguise my voice like you would nt believe .
T.C. : Liz , thanks for being here for me .
Liz : For you and the girls .
T.C. : I ll get it .
T.C. : Hello ?
Kay : Is this T.C. Russell ?
T.C. : Yes ?
Kay : You should know that your daughter whitney is at the crane studio , sweating up the sheets with chad harris right now as we speak .
T.C. : Who the hell is is ?
Kay : Just a concerned friend who thinks you should check on the situation before whitney makes a mistake that she will regret forever .
Liz : Who was that ?
T.C. : That was some anonymous caller , sayinghahat whitney is at the recording studio with chad having sex .
Liz : I thought she said she was going out to get fresh air .
T.C. : Chad must have tricked her again . I swear , I m going to kill that boy .
Chad : See , baby ? Everything s going to be all righ
eve : Clear !
Nurse : I m sorry , doctor , he s still asystole . He s expired . John , this one goes downstairs .
Eve : God , I seem to be losing everyone today .
Gwen : Ethan , would you just come out of there , please ? The baby and I are counting on you !
Rebecca : Gwen , do nt worry . Your husband will do the right thing . Come on .
Luis : Theresa , you need to come out of there .
Antonio : You re not helping anyone , especially yourself , by doing this .
Miguel : Just come out so we can talk this through .
Ethan : You need to do right by your son , theresa .
Theresa : Oh , come here .
Theresa : Oh , yeah . Please .
Theresa : Oh , come here . Please do nt ask me to give him up . I ca nt live without him , ethan , not even for one night .
Guard : This is all we could find .
Second guard : Move back and I ll knock down the door .
Julian : That s right .
Luis : Yeah , our sister and nephew are in there .
Antonio : If you come anywhere near that door with that ax , you re toast .
Julian : Ignore those hooligans and knock down the door !
Miguel : Try it . We dare you .
Guard : Forget this .
Julian : What
guard : We do nt get paid enough for this .
Julian : Fine . I ll do it myself .
Luis : One swing of that ax , julian , and I ll arrest you for domestic violence .
Rebecca : Well , do nt be angry with julian . Theresa s to blame for this whole ridiculous situation . She s the one who s barricaded herself in that room with her baby .
Ethan : I know this is hard , ok , but it s the right thing to do . Julian may have won for now , but you can count on me to help you get your son back , ok ? I promise you , I ll be with you every step of the way .
Sam : If we keep living the way we have been , we re going to lose our family and each other forever .
Luis : You lay one finger on that baby , you re a dead man .
Liz : T.C. , Stop it !
Whitney : No ! I think you killed him , daddy .

Robin : I know it s not easy , Luke . I know what you re facing , but you might want to consider giving Laura all of the facts about her condition .
Luke : I will consider it when she s ready to hear them . But I m sure you agree she is nt ready now .
Robin : No . I ll leave it up to you .
Luke : Thanks .
Robin : Laura ?
Luke : What the hell have they done with her ?
Laura : Oh .
Sonny : I ll give Alexis full custody of Kristina if she gives you full custody of Molly .
Ric : She d never go for it .
Sonny : No ? To know that she ll never have to worry about me influencing her precious Kristina ?
Ric : Why would you do that ?
Sonny : Because Alexis is a great mother . She ll take excellent care of Kristina , and it gets you out of our lives for good . You said yourself that Alexis loves Kristina more than Molly , right ?
Ric : So what s it going to cost me ?
Sonny : All you have to do is call off the search on Sam , drop all the charges against her , and you will get your daughter . Is it a deal ?
Ric : I ll call off the manhunt . But first , I want you to do something for me .
Sam : Ugh !
Sam : Grab me . All right .
Jason : Ok , I got you . I got you . I wo nt let go .
Officer : Ms. McCall , we see you . Turn yourself in .
Jason : Hang on .
Sam : Oh , God . Oh --
Jason : Ok , ok .
Sam : Oh . I ca nt believe you re here .
Jason : We -- we need to get out of here .

Elizabeth : The grounds are nice . I bet you it s beautiful here in the spring when the flowers start to bloom .
Lucky : Well , I do nt plan to be here for that long .
Elizabeth : No , I know . I meant for when you come to visit your mom . Have you seen much of her lately ?
Lucky : Every chance I get . Um -- that -- that bracelet looks really nice on you .
Elizabeth : Thank you . I love it . It s beautiful .
Lucky : You know , I wish you would reconsider that birthday check .
Elizabeth : I ca nt . It s too much money .
Lucky : I want you and Cameron and the baby to have a house of your own . I do nt expect to live there . And if there s any chance of that , I have to earn it .
Elizabeth : Ok , I ll tell you what I m willing to do . Why do nt you put that money in an account so it can make some interest and we will see how it goes ?
Lucky : That s fair .
Elizabeth : Today was nice , almost familiar . I m glad you re getting back to yourself .
Lucky : You know , I m still the same guy you loved -- maybe smarter , I hope .
Elizabeth : Oh . Lucky , you have so much support from your family -- from your sister and from your brother -- and we re very proud of the way you re handling things . You need to draw your strength from that .
Lucky : I need to make them all proud of me .
Elizabeth : I know , that s what I said .
Nurse : Sorry , Lucky . It s time for your session .
Elizabeth : I need to go anyway .
Lucky : I m really glad you came . Happy birthday .
Elizabeth : Thanks .
Luke : Did you find her ?
Robin : Security is combing the grounds . But do nt worry . We re -- we re going to find her .
Luke : Try to say that like you believe it .
Nikolas : Where s mom ?
Luke : She s missing .
Nikolas : What do you mean , She s missing ?
Robin : We ll find her .
Nikolas : Did she -- I mean , maybe she remembered something .
Luke : Maybe she did . I m glad you understand that could be a problem .
Robin : Luke , can you fill me in on the details surrounding her trauma once again so I have a better understanding of what we re dealing with ?
Luke : Ok , ok . We were going to be married again . Laura started looking through a bunch of old photo albums , and there was something about the attic above her mother s old garage that bothered her . Her stepfather , Dr. Webber , was in town for the wedding and she stated to obsess on this attic . Something happened up there . Dr. Webber kept trying to get her to just drop it , but she would nt . The night before we were to be married , he found her in the attic and she clubbed him to death with a candlestick .
Laura s voice : Luke . I ca nt believe we re actually going to get married tomorrow .
Luke : One last night to elope .
Laura : No , not a chance .
Luke : You sure ? We could outrun all those ghosts of the past .
Laura : We already have .
Luke : You sure ?
Laura : Yeah , now that I know what happened in the attic .
Luke : You re ok with everything ?
Laura : I m better than ok . I m about to become Mrs. Luke Spencer for the second and the best time .
Laura : Oh -- I m sorry .
Lesley : You re real ?
Laura : Yes . Careful .
Lesley : Oh , my God , baby ! Baby !
Laura : Mom .
Lesley : Oh , my God ! Oh , baby !
Alexis : Oh . Oh ! Oh .
Ric : I want it in writing from Alexis .
Sonny : She will .
Ric : No . Right now . I will call off the search for Sam as soon as I get a document signed and notarized in my hand giving me full custody of Molly . As soon as I figure out it s not a fraud , that s when I ll call off the search .
Sonny : How you going to explain it to Mac and the mayor and everybody ?
Ric : Do nt worry about it , Sonny . I ll take care of it .
Sonny : Yeah , Do nt worry about it till they come to my door with a warrant , right ?
Ric : Sonny , just get it done .
Sonny : Huh .
Ric : I ll make sure it s not traced back you .
Sonny : Ok , I m going to need time to draw up the papers , but you call the search --
Ric : No .
Sonny : You call the search off on Sam , because I do nt want her getting shot .
Ric : No , right now .
Sonny : What do you mean , right now ?
Ric : Alexis -- Alexis has got to sign over custody of Molly to me before the situation escalates . Because if Sam or anybody protecting Sam breaks the law , shoots somebody , does any of that -- deal s off .
Officer : Sam McCall , we know you re there ! Give up now ! Place your hands over your head and stand , nice and slow .
Jason : If we run -- if we run , we give Ric a free pass to shoot . If we give up , we can figure out how you were set up .
Sam : How can I prove that Ric framed me , Jason ?
Officer : Sam , I know you can hear me . Do the smart move and give up now !
Jason : Ok , it s your call . I m with you . What do you want to do ?
Sam : I say we run .
Officer : Do nt be foolish , Sam . You still have a chance .
Jason : If they start firing , we shoot our way out .
Officer : We have the building surrounded ! You ca nt get away !
Jason : I m going to cover you . You take the back stairs .
Sam : Ok .
Officer : This is portable six to base . We are requesting backup at 1183 --
Sam : I ll cover you ! Go .
Officer : Damn it . Where s my backup ? They re getting away !
Sonny : Bad day ?
Alexis : I m a strong woman , right ? You think I m a strong woman -- I mean , for better or for worse ?
Sonny : Yeah .
Alexis : I m a tough cookie , right ?
Sonny : That s a good description .
Alexis : I mean , if we just forget about my past and we just talk about the last few months -- I ve had lung cancer , I walked in and found my husband sleeping with my daughter , my husband left me , arrested my daughter . I mean , things keep coming and I keep ducking and , you know , or I -- I handle it . You know , I handle everything , which is --
Alexis : I do nt understand how something so ridiculous could be the one thing that cuts me off at the knees .
Sonny : What s wrong , Alexis ?
Alexis : I m losing my hair !
Robin : Ok , so let me get this straight . Laura s stepfather was covering up someone else s death ? Did Laura witness something that she should nt have ?
Nikolas : Worse . There was a nurse , a woman that Rick was involved with . My mother killed her in that attic . It -- it was unintentional , she was just a teenager , but it traumatized her so much that Rick had to sedate her . And whatever it is that he -- that he gave her repressed her memory .
Luke : Until four years ago , when it all started to flood back on her . I could tell that she was suffering from something she could nt remember , so I thought it would be good if she could clear up the fog and face her past . I was wrong . I had no idea what it would unleash . So she started to crack , and her mind went back to the same place it was when she was a teenager . Rick tried to sedate her because he did nt want her to remember . She got paranoid , thought that he was trying to hurt her , and she fought back . When I got to the attic , he was already dead . So I got Laura out of there and I tried to help her deal with it , but I just made things worse . And then her mind shut down completely , and her breakdown was total . Until now , irreversible .
Robin : Excuse me . Robin Scorpio . Great . Thank you . That was security . A witness saw Laura leave the grounds about an hour ago .
Luke : Ok , I m going to try to find her . You stay here in case she comes back .
Laura : I guess that Robin Scorpio heard something about some kind of an experimental treatment or something , and then , God bless her , she figured out that it could help me .
Lesley : Luke !
Laura : I ve seen him . It s ok .
Lesley : Oh !
Laura : And I ve seen the children . Although , you could hardly call them children now , huh ?
Lesley : Gee , that s great . But nobody figured it might be a nice idea to tell your own mom about the miracle ? How come ?
Laura : I do nt know . I -- you know how Luke is . He s always got some reason for the things he does .
Lesley : Are you -- are you ok ?
Laura : Yeah .
Lesley : Do you feel all right ?
Laura : I feel -- confused , you know ?
Lesley : Aw .
Laura : I guess I -- I kind of lost a little bit of my memory .
Lesley : Yeah .
Laura : I -- I do nt remember the accident .
Lesley : The accident ?
Laura : Mmmm . The one that put me in the hospital -- I ca nt remember it . I mean , Luke says that that s what s responsible for putting me in the state that I was in . And I -- I can remember preparing for the wedding .
Lesley : Uh - huh .
Laura : And then it just kind of goes blank .
Lesley : Yeah .
Laura : But I guess you know what happened , right ? So , what kind of an accident did I have ?
Lesley : You know what , sweetie ? If Luke did nt fill everything in , it must be because the doctors thought you should take it slowly -- which is a very good instinct .
Laura : Ok . It s just that I have missed so much . Oh , so much has changed . I m a grandmother now . Can you imagine that ?
Lesley : What I find impossible to believe is that I m the mother of a grandmother .
Laura : Oh . Oh . And Lucky married Elizabeth Webber !
Lesley : Uh - huh .
Laura : Yeah . And Lulu -- she just seems so grown up .
Lesley : Oh , yeah . Oh , yeah .
Laura : Luke seems the same .
Lesley : Mm - hmm .
Laura : He seems a little nervous , though . I mean , I guess that s to be understood .
Lesley : One thing has nt changed , and that s how Luke takes care of you .
Laura : Good . I just want my life to make sense again , you know ?
Lesley : I do . It will . It will . You just -- you trust the man you love . Everything s going to be ok .
Laura : I love you , mom .
Lesley : And I love you , baby .
Jason : We re only going to stay here long enough to clean up and change .
Sam : I got to get these cuffs off .
Jason : This will probably -- come on .
Woman : Who are you ?
Jason : Excuse me ?
Woman : Well , I ve lived here over six months and I ve never seen you before .
Jason : Well -- uh -- well , you know what ? I live most of the year in -- in Toronto , and I only use this place when I come to Port Charles on business .
Woman : You have perfect timing . I live right below you , and you have a plumbing problem , and it s leaking through my bedroom ceiling .
Jason : I ll check -- I ll check that out .
Woman : Oh , I ll go with you .
Sonny : I -- I ca nt imagine what this is like for you .
Alexis : No , no , no , no , do nt do that -- soften on me and be apathetic . I m not going to let this get to me . Whoever thought I d be this shallow ?
Sonny : Well --
Alexis : Shut up . That was rhetorical .
Sonny : No , what I was -- what I wanted to say was you re a lot of things , but shallow s not one of them .
Alexis : I just never really thought of myself as a vain person . I care about the way I look , I -- I take pride in what I wear .
Sonny : Right .
Alexis : I ve made a few fashion faux pas , but I correct them right away . I do nt have an obscene amount of shoes in my closet like other women . I do nt obsess about it . I just do nt . I m a practical shopper . I -- I keep things in that will take me through several seasons . It s up here , and -- in what kind of person that I am . That is what matters , it always has , and that s the reason why I have all these successes in life . It s just when I -- I looked in the mirror today , it struck me that the thing that most people compliment me about is my hair -- and I do nt think I look very pretty without it . I ve got cancer ; I have poison injected into my body , and the thing that seems to be bothering me the most is my hair !
Sonny : Alexis , this is nt -- listen to me . It s not about how you look . You ve been able to manage this ever since you ve been diagnosed . You were bound to lose it , you know , sooner or later , right ? If it was nt the hair , it was going to be something else .
Alexis : Like what ?
Sonny : Like somebody coming in here saying the wrong thing . But it s ok to indulge yourself , because this is going to be over as soon as this cancer is destroyed . If this chemo is doing this to your hair , can you imagine what it s doing to the cancer ?
Alexis : That s a good point .
Sonny : Ok ? Yeah ?
Alexis : That s a good point . Thank you . And -- and I can take this for the girls , because this is all about the girls . That s my reason to get through this . That s my reason to put up with this crap .
Sonny : Right , and you listen to me . Your children need you , and one of them is my daughter . You re not going to give up .
Alexis : Is that a threat ?
Sonny : No -- tiny bit .
Ric : Hey . Can I have a word with you ?
Elizabeth : Yeah , sure . I m on the clock , though , so it ca nt be long .
Ric : I know you have a lot on your plate lately . I actually hoped to find you doing something special on your birthday .
Elizabeth : Wow . I ca nt believe you remembered .
Ric : I remember a lot of things . And I wish I had something good to offer you on your birthday instead of difficult news .
Elizabeth : What happened ?
Ric : Jason helped Sam escape custody this morning . Sam was arrested for stealing evidence . She attacked me and then she got away , and the two of them are now fugitives .
Elizabeth : That s terrible , but that s not why you came to talk to me .
Ric : Have they tried to contact you ?
Elizabeth : No , of course not .
Ric : All right . Good . You know , you have Cameron to think about and this -- this child that s on the way . I wo nt ask you to notify me if you do hear from them , but I m begging you -- please , Elizabeth , promise me you do not give them anything . Any shelter , any food , any money -- nothing , because if you do , that just ties my hands .
Elizabeth : I do nt understand why you think Jason would come to me for help anyway .
Ric : It s obvious the two of you are still involved .
Woman : I d better have a look at that leak .
Sam : I think I m going to throw up .
Jason : Ok , you know , you should keep your distance . My girlfriend really has --
Woman : Oh .
Jason : And she has a bad flu .
Woman : Oh , I know something nasty is going around .
Jason : Yeah --
Woman : You better drink lots of fluid .
Sam : Oh , no . Do you think she saw my face ?
Jason : We re not going to be here long enough to find out . Have a seat . Ok . Am I hurting you ?
Sam : No .
Jason : Ok . You know , the last time I saw you , you said you d keep your cool and you d let me -- let me get you out . What happened ?
Sam : Ric happened .
Sam : He showed me some pictures of you and Elizabeth .
Lesley : Hello , sweetheart .
Lulu : Hi , grandma . Um -- this is going to sound a little weird . Have you noticed anything -- I do nt know -- unusual today here ?
Lesley : Unusual ? Gee , I ca nt imagine -- unless you mean something like -- oh , I do nt know -- say , your mother ? You just missed her .
Lulu : Ok , please do nt be mad . Dad did nt want us to tell anyone , and she left Shadybrook on her own , and now we re just frantically looking for her .
Lesley : My daughter comes back from purgatory , and nobody in the family thinks it might be a nice idea to tell me ? This is just so typical of your father , thinking that nobody else matters !
Lulu : I know --
Lesley : She s my daughter !
Lulu : Grandma , I know , I know , and I used to imagine what it would be like to have her back again . And now she s back , but it -- it s more complicated . She s very fragile , and he just does nt want us to say anything that can make her flip out again . You did nt say anything , did you ?
Lesley : What would I say ?
Lulu : I do nt know . Um -- maybe like I had an abortion , or that Lucky s in rehab , or maybe that dad s married to the stepwitch ?
Lesley : I really love my daughter . I d like her to have a couple of hours of peace before she finds out that we all went to hell in a hand basket while she was gone . She ll find out soon enough .
Luke : She was here ?
Lesley : And now she s not . You have a lot of nerve , Luke Spencer . Who were you supposed to be protecting when you did nt tell me that my child was back ?
Luke : Laura , Lesley . It s always Laura -- you know that . Now , I m sorry if you were hurt , but we can deal with that later . Right now I ve got to find my wife-- I ve got to find her and take her somewhere safe .
Lesley : She said she needed to be on her own to remember her life .
Luke : That s exactly what I m afraid of . Ok , if she comes back , do nt let her leave , and be sure to call me .
Lesley : Stop right there . You do nt leave until you tell us what else you re hiding from Laura .
Laura : Hi . Um -- could you tell me if a nurse named Bobbie Spencer still works here ? Oh -- it s ok . Never mind . Huh .
Bobbie : Oh , my God . Oh , my -- Laura ?
Laura : Hi .
Bobbie : Oh , my goodness ! Let me look at you ! You look absolutely wonderful .
Bobbie : I just ca nt believe you re here .
Laura : I ca nt believe I was ever gone . How are you ? How s Tony ?
Tracy : Bobbie -- there you are .
Nikolas : Tracy , do nt --
Tracy : Have you seen my worthless husband ?
Luke : I ll explain all that later . Right now , all you need to know is that she s in a very fragile state of mind . We re not sure how much information she can take right away .
Bobbie : No kidding . She asked me about Tony . I kind of sensed it was nt the time to tell her that he s gone .
Luke : Yeah , listen -- keep her there with you . And do nt , under any circumstances , talk about Rick Webber . Do nt get into anything that happened in that attic .
Bobbie : She already left . Nikolas followed her out -- after he pried her away from Tracy .
Luke : Did anybody spill the beans ?
Bobbie : If you re asking Does Laura know that there s another Mrs. Luke Spencer , no . But that does not mean Tracy is nt spitting bullets .
Luke : Ok . Thanks . Listen , I got to get on this .
Nikolas voice : You ve reached Nikolas Cassadine . Please leave a message and your call will be returned .
Luke : Oh , damn it . Nikolas , this is Spencer . Call me .
Lesley : Laura knows you re keeping something from her .
Luke : Lesley , it s for her own good .
Lesley : But is nt it possible that not telling her the truth could just make her worse ?
Luke : Worse ? We ve seen worse , Lesley . For four years we ve seen worse . Four years ago , I thought the truth was going to help her . I forced her into looking at the truth , and it did nt help . I m not going to make that mistake again . I have to find her , get her somewhere safe .
Lesley : Oh , boy , I hope he s right .
Lulu : He has to be . I do nt want mom to remember anything that she did . I ca nt bear the thought of losing her again .
Lesley : I know , baby . I know . I know .
Alexis : Thanks for coming to see me . I m sorry about the little meltdown .
Sonny : Do nt apologize . It s a refreshing change for a tough cookie .
Alexis : Why d you come here anyway ?
Sonny : Oh -- yeah . I wanted to talk to you about something . Sam escaped police custody . And Jason found her , so now they re fugitives . And if Ric has anything to do with it , Jason will be killed for resisting arrest -- or , a version of that . And as you know , he does nt care one way or the other about Sam , so she ll get caught in the crossfire .
Alexis : Is there something I can do ?
Sonny : Yeah , there is . I truly think you re the only one who can stop Ric . I have an idea .
Elizabeth : Did you take these ?
Ric : No , do nt be silly . I had Jason under department surveillance for sometime now .
Elizabeth : Well , it s not what it looks like . Anyone on the force who knows Lucky could leak this to him . Do you know what that would do to his recovery ?
Ric : It s not going to happen . I ve seen to it , ok ? The file has been marked classified and I confiscated the photos . Elizabeth , I m just worried that Jason is using you , ok ? After today especially , you got to realize that he is completely devoted to Sam .
Elizabeth : We re friends . I was upset , he was cooling me --
Ric : All right , well , if you need somebody to confide in or to console you , who only has your best interests at heart , then you know you always have me . You do nt have to throw in with somebody like Jason .
Elizabeth : I m not with Jason , and I do nt want to be . In fact , Lucky and I are getting back together .
Jason : What photos did Ric have with me and Elizabeth ?
Sam : They were taken this morning . Ric made a point to show me that you were wearing the same shirt and --
Jason : Yeah , Elizabeth and I met on -- on the docks and we were talking .
Sam : You were holding her .
Jason : She was upset and she was scared -- about Ric , actually .
Sam : Ok , I -- I do nt understand .
Jason : Ok , I think Elizabeth is the reason for all of this stuff . Ric and Elizabeth were married . Now , I do nt know if he stopped loving her or what his deal is . All I know is --
Jason : His vendetta kicked into high gear when he found out Elizabeth had been with me .
Sam : Ok , so he s jealous .
Jason : Well , he s sick . He s sick , and I had to warn Elizabeth about him . That s when she got scared and upset , and that s what was in the pictures . I m just -- I m sorry he used them to -- to goad you into running .
Sam : Fine . Come on , there s no changing that now .
Jason : Sorry .
Sam : Do you -- do you have feelings for her ?
Luke : Hey , did a woman come in here today -- a beautiful blond with maybe a lost look in her eye ?
Tracy : You would nt be talking about your other wife , would you ?
Luke : Tracy , please , not now .
Tracy : Yes , now . Tell me , Luke , did you actually think I was nt going to find out that she was back ?
Luke : I have no expectations , Tracy .
Tracy : You know , I m used to you disappearing , and I know that you think of our marriage as a joke . But actually of late , I was kind of wondering if perhaps -- oh , well . That answers that , does nt it ? You took your wedding ring off . And am I supposed to smile sweetly and not make a fuss ?
Luke : I would never expect you to smile sweetly . But now is no time to play Little Miss Marshmallow . You can take care of yourself . I suggest you do that now . Because right now it s more important for me to protect my first wife s sanity than my second wife s feelings .
Jason : Whatever you think Elizabeth and I could ve been , it ended when the paternity test showed the baby was nt mine . I came after you today . You re the one I care about . You re who I want . The rest is up to you .
Sam : Talk is cheap . Now , if you really cared , you will get me out of these cuffs .
Jason : Ok .
Sam : Thanks .
Jason : Oh , not long now .
Sam : Ow . Oh --
Jason : Ok , ok , ok , sorry .
Sam : That s ok . I m going to take a shower -- while you figure out the next step .
Ric : Hey . How s it going , Lucky ?
Lucky : Fine . I m just working the program .
Ric : Well , good . I hope it helps knowing that you have a job to come back to . We need good cops like you on the force .
Lucky : Yeah , it makes a difference . What are you doing here at Shadybrook ?
Ric : Oh , I had this idea -- you let me know if it s too soon and I ll understand -- but I thought that maybe you d like to get your feet wet -- you know , it d be good for you . I need some input on a case .
Lucky : Yeah , that s great . I miss being on the job . You know , it means a lot that you trust me -- as long as it s something that I can do from here ?
Ric : Oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , that s fine . It s actually a case that you re very familiar with . I took the liberty of bringing some surveillance photos .
Mayor Floyd : Have Sam McCall and Jason Morgan been apprehended ?
Mac : We re working on it . Sam and Jason have been spotted six blocks east of here on a rooftop .
Mayor Floyd : I have a roomful of press outside waiting for an explanation as to how a prisoner escaped from this department . Until you have Morgan or McCall in custody , do not summon me again . I do nt appreciate my time being wasted .
Mac : Mayor , I do nt know who called you , but it certainly was nt me .
Alexis : I did . You know what ? Frankly , I m appalled . I ve only been gone a few weeks and this department is in chaos .
Mayor Floyd : Alexis , what are you doing here ?
Alexis : I m resuming my duties as District Attorney , effective immediately .
Ric : Sam was arrested for stealing evidence that could help us bring down the Corinthos - Morgan operation . As a token of his appreciation , Jason decided to help Sam break out of custody this morning .
Lucky : But why bring it to me ?
Ric : Well , you ve got experience tracking Jason s movements . I was thinking maybe you can help us figure out where he might be .
Lucky : You had him under surveillance ?
Ric : I think these photos will be quite revealing .
Elizabeth : Lucky , do nt .
Sam : What s the plan ?
Jason : Just waiting for Stan to call , and then we ll figure out what direction we re headed in .
Sam : All right . So how did Ric even get evidence against you and Sonny anyway ?
Jason : Uh -- he did nt . Ric set us all up . He manufactured a flash drive somehow . We do nt keep any incriminating evidence anywhere near the warehouses . Oh -- there are bruises on your wrist .
Sam : It s all right . I ll -- I ll live . Just next time I decide to escape police custody , remind me to take the handcuffs off first .
Jason : Yeah , remember when you -- when you run , avoid running --
Sam : Up .
Jason : Up . It leaves you no place to go .
Woman : I m pretty sure it s the right girl . She s inside that apartment .
Luke : Laura thinks her breakdown was the result of a car accident the night before our second wedding .
Tracy : Really ? And what gave her that idea ?
Luke : Tracy , look , all of her doctors are telling me that if she remembers having killed her stepfather , Rick , it could set back all the progress she s made . In an instant , she could be right back in that chair , staring at the wall .
Tracy : Really ? What about the other truth you re hiding ? What do you think s going to happen to her when she finds out you re married to me ?
Patrick : We re boring .
Robin : We are not boring .
Lucky : What s wrong ?
Elizabeth : If you open that , it could ruin everything .
Woman : I m telling you it s her .
Laura : Why is she here ?
Tracy : You want to tell her , or should I ?

### Dialogue:
Ridge : Thanks for helping out . Drive carefully . Okay .
Brooke : Thomas ?
Ridge : Yeah , he just dropped Steffy and Phoebe off at the marina .
Brooke : They re gon na have fun sailing with Brianna and her parents .
Ridge : Beats the heck out of spending the day with your old man .
Brooke : Oh , Ridge .
Ridge : Never mind it s their last day off school for weeks . Or that I took the whole day off to hang out with them . I mean , how often does that happen ?
Brooke : About as often as your brother decides to launch a new line at Spectra .
Ridge : Is that today ? That s today ? I d forgotten all about it .
Brooke : Uh - huh . You know , you re sending a message that you re not really worried about this preview of his .
Ridge : I m not . Not at all .
Eric : Well , I m worried . This showing may not be a big deal to you , ridge , but it s a very big deal to Thorne . I can assure you . And to everybody else over at Spectra . They ve been trying to best us for years , and today , thanks to your brother , they think they might finally accomplish that .
Clarke : Paint s dry ? Good . All right , gang , chop , chop , chop ! We ve got just under 30 minutes and counting ! All right ?
Darla : Sally would be lovin this .
Clarke : Oh , you bet she would .
Darla : You know , I stopped by her place this morning .
Clarke : Yes ?
Darla : She was so excited . And I think if C.J. Would nt have been there to stop her , she would have jumped out of bed and hobbled down here .
Clarke : Well , she s here in spirit , I can tell you that . And this is -- this is the most amazing moment of her professional life . I mean , for years , she s been going head - to - head down the runway with the Forresters , and now she s going to come out on top . She ll be the undisputed champion .
Darla : Yeah . Cause quite a sensation , huh ?
Clarke : So , are you ready for that ? Is Thorne ?
Darla : I do nt know . I do nt know . Thorne was kind of quiet this morning .
Clarke : He s not having second thoughts , is he ?
Darla : He s never done anything like this , Clarke . I mean , he stole designs from his father and from his brother .
Clarke : They did nt exactly treat him like family . They forced him out of the company , they humiliated him .
Darla : I know . I know , I know .
Clarke : He does nt owe em a damn thing . Where is he ?
Darla : Clarke , do nt . No , do nt .
Clarke : I wo nt . If you re serious , and he s gon na back out --
Darla : No , no , no , I did nt say that . I just do nt know exactly what he s thinking .
Man : Excuse , Mr. Garrison , we need you over here , please .
Clarke : Darla , talk to him . Make him understand . Whatever happens , we ca nt quit now .
Thorne : President . You re giving me the job ?
Eric : You earned it .
Darla : I told you .
Thorne : Thank you .
Stephanie : Oh , I love you , sweet boy .
Darla : Hi .
Thorne : Hey . Is everything ready out there ?
Darla : Just about . You know , it s still not too late .
Thorne : Too late ?
Darla : To call it off . It has crossed your mind , has nt it ?
Thorne : Once I take this step , there is no going back .
Darla : Then do nt take it . Not unless you are absolutely sure . Honey , spectra will survive . I know that you can turn this company around even without your father s designs .
Thorne : This goal is nt just about financial success .
Darla : I know . I know . You want to get through to your family . But maybe there s another way you can do that . One that wo nt tear you up inside . Thorne , whatever you decide , I love you and I support you . I just wanted you to know that .
Thorne : Mother , what are you doing here ?
Stephanie : Well , I came , because I -- I just ca nt believe you re going to go through with this . Thorne , you ca nt .
Ridge : Thorne and Sally are delusional if they think they re gon na take a bite out of our market .
Eric : Ridge , they ve been very , very secretive . There has to be a good reason for that .
Ridge : It s all a ploy , Dad . You know , it s hype for their line , for their preview . The moment their line hits the runway , it ll be obvious they ca nt live up to it .
Rick : Hey , everybody .
Caitlin : Hey .
Ridge : You did nt tell me you invited Rick and Caitlin .
Brooke : Well , you said it was a family day , so --
Ridge : Yeah , but you know how I feel about the two of them being together .
Rick : Yeah , ridge , we all know . If our being here is a problem -- is it a problem ?
Brooke : Hope , sweetie , could you get R.J. Some juice ? It s in the fridge . Please ? Thanks .
Caitlin : Maybe we d better go .
Rick : Is that what you want , Ridge ? You want us to leave ?
Brooke : Rick , he s not saying that you re not welcome .
Rick : But he is saying that he still does nt accept my relationship with Caitlin , right ?
Ridge : Let me put it this way . I m not that comfortable with you guys meeting here behind Hector s back .
Caitlin : My dad knows I m here .
Ridge : He s okay with that ?
Caitlin : Okay I m still seeing Rick , you mean ?
Ridge : Do I have to remind you how you wound up in the hospital in the first place ? Your dad was laying down the law about all this . He threatened to go to the cops ?
Caitlin : Look , Dad was upset , okay ? He did nt understand .
Eric : And he understands now ?
Caitlin : Well , he s not thrilled , but he trusts me .
Rick : And we re not gon na do anything to mess that up .
Brooke : That puts all of our minds at ease .
Ridge : What about Thomas ? He s on his way home right now .
Rick : Come on , Ridge , do nt worry about that , okay ? Look , the last thing we want to do is rub our relationship in thomas face .
Caitlin : I still care about him a lot .
Rick : I mean , actually , I m surprised to see you here -- today of all days .
Eric : If you re referring to the Spectra couture line , Ridge is making a statement .
Ridge : I just feel like the family s been through enough the last while . We could all use a little time to chill out !
Eric : Well , your mother s not chilling out . She s over at Spectra right now trying to convince Thorne that he belongs with us .
Ridge : Yeah , well , that s not gon na work . Because Mr. Stubborn is not budging .
Eric : Well , she s not giving up .
Darla : I ll give you some time alone with your mother .
Thorne : Okay .
Darla : Okay .
Stephanie : Thank you , Darla .
Thorne : If this is going to be a repeat of last time --
Stephanie : No . No , I realize that we all said things that we -- we did nt mean .
Thorne : Speak for yourself , Mother .
Stephanie : I know you re still upset with your father and me .
Thorne : No , I ve moved on , as you can see .
Stephanie : Honey , you do nt belong here . And especially under these circumstances .
Thorne : I did nt create the circumstances .
Stephanie : No , I know you did nt . But that does nt mean that we ca nt fix what happened .
Thorne : Some things just ca nt be fixed , Mother .
Stephanie : Well , this is nt one of those things . I was thinking when I was driving -- well , I was remembering the day we made you president and how proud I was of you . Honey , ca nt you please forgive us ? Give us a chance to make up for the hurt that we ve caused you ?
Thorne : By coming back to Forrester ?
Stephanie : We can make it work .
Thorne : We could nt make it work the first time . So what s different , Mother ? What s changed ?
Stephanie : You , for one thing .
Thorne : Yes , I have . And I am never going to settle for second - best ever again . So do nt ask me to .
Ridge : I still say mother s wasting her time . There s no way Thorne s gon na back down at the last minute .
Eric : This is nt about Thorne backing down , Ridge , this is about -- this is about our family --
Ridge : It s about you and mother is what it s about . You guys laying all this guilt on yourselves .
Thomas : Hey , hey , hey ! Let the good times roll ! The life of the party is here and -- he s wondering whose brilliant idea this was ?
Ridge : Do nt look at me .
Thomas : Ah . The wicked stepmother .
Brooke : Sorry . I know it s a little awkward , but --
Thomas : Nah , it s cool . Caitlin , lookin good .
Caitlin : Thanks .
Thomas : So , who s up for a game of water limbo ?
Hope : I am .
Brooke : That sounds like fun .
Thomas : Hey , do nt feel left out , buddy , you can hold the hose .
Rick : All right .
Caitlin : Wait , how do you play ?
Thomas : Oh , we have to go to the shallow end . We need the garden hose .
Brooke : I m going to put R.J. Down for a nap .
Ridge : All right .
Eric : Thomas attitude seems to have improved .
Ridge : He s still a little bent out of shape that I laid down the law with Amber .
Eric : Yeah , literally .
Ridge : He knows I m just taking care of him . He may not like it , but he s accepted it . If only Thorne were that mature .
Eric : I should have heard from your mother by now .
Ridge : She s not going to tell you anything new .
Eric : Well , I m not going to give up hope .
Ridge : Me , neither . I m hoping the preview s a big , fat flop .
Eric : Yeah , just exactly what would that accomplish ?
Ridge : It would tell Thorne that you and I are not responsible for the bad things that happen in his life . We have nothing to do with this preview . At least , we better not .
Stephanie : Thorne , I m not asking you to settle for anything . I m just asking you to make sure you ve thought this through really carefully . Do you really think you win if you lash out at your family ? At the family that loves you ? At the father that s taught you everything you know ?
Thorne : And told me what I knew was of no value ?
Stephanie : He did nt say that .
Thorne : He did nt need me , mother . Well , he was wrong . And he s going to find out just how wrong he is . You know what ? I did nt want it to turn out this way .
Stephanie : I know you did nt .
Thorne : I practically -- I practically begged you to see me for who I am , mother -- a leader . That I was more than capable of taking Forrester Creations into the future . But you and dad , you just could nt imagine that .
Stephanie : Of course we could .
Thorne : Well , you wo nt have to worry about it now . Because I m going to show you . I m going to show you what Forrester could have been with my help and what it will never be without it .
Stephanie : Honey , no one ever doubted your capabilities .
Thorne : Is this concern about me ? Is that what this is ?
Stephanie : Yes , of course , it is . I do nt think you ve really thought about the future , Thorne .
Thorne : I have . And all I can say is , it s not your problem anymore . Not that it ever was . Cause you see , mother , I m not counting on my family for support anymore , because it s not there . I learned the hard way . You have to make it on your own in this world . You have to create your own success . And that is exactly what I am doing .
Stephanie : How far are you prepared to go ? I know about the fabric suppliers .
Thorne : Trust me , Mother , that s the least of your worries .
Stephanie : What are you planning , Thorne ?
Thorne : Well , let s just say , I know how the game is played now , and I am going to play it to the fullest .
Caitlin : Oh , my gosh .
Rick : Oh , man .
Thomas : Here you go .
Caitlin : Thank you , Thomas .
Thomas : Here you go .
Caitlin : I m sure that was a mistake , right ?
Rick : It was an accident . I swear .
Thomas : Uh - huh .
Rick : You believe me , right ?
Thomas : That a girl , Hope , ca nt trust that guy .
Rick : You know what ? Hey , I think we left the hose on , you want to go turn it off with me ? Okay , let s go .
Thomas : Lemonade , mademoiselle ?
Caitlin : Oh , thank you .
Thomas : You re very welcome .
Caitlin : So , I heard what your dad did . The restraining order .
Thomas : Yeah . Talk about overkill .
Caitlin : You must ve been really upset with him .
Thomas : Yeah , I was , for about a second .
Caitlin : Really ? I mean , I would ve thrown a fit .
Thomas : Yeah , well , your dad s okay with you and Rick now , right ?
Caitlin : He s trying . We told him about our decision to slow things way , way down .
Thomas : Things ? What things ?
Caitlin : You know .
Thomas : I know , I m just giving you a hard time . I think it s great that you guys are waiting .
Caitlin : Yeah , well , some things are just worth waiting for . You know ?
Thomas : Yes . Yes , I do . I m gon na go for a swim .
Caitlin : Thomas , your back .
Thomas : What about it ?
Caitlin : Are those scratch marks ?
Ridge : R.J. Okay ?
Brooke : Yeah . I ll bring him back out after his nap . So did I miss anything ?
Ridge : I m still trying to convince dad that we have nothing to worry about with Forrester s newest rival .
Eric : I ll say it again , Ridge . Do nt be so quick to dismiss your brother . He s already taken all the fabrics you had on order over to spectra .
Ridge : That ca nt possibly amount to anything . He has no designs to back them up .
Eric : Ridge , we do nt know that .
Ridge : Come on . Thorne may bring a lot to the table here , but he s not a designer . There s no way that collection can live up to all the buzz .
Eric : It s really down to the wire now . I just hope Stephanie can get through to him .
Stephanie : You sound so ruthless .
Thorne : So much like Ridge , you mean ?
Stephanie : Do nt blame him for your choices now .
Thorne : I m not . I m through blaming . I m through complaining . You want something in life , you go get it . That s what I ve learned .
Stephanie : I ve learned , too , honey . I ve learned some very painful lessons . And I -- Thorne , I m sorry . I am so sorry . I -- I ca nt believe that this is too late .
Clarke : What is going on in here ?
Stephanie : Not now , please , Clarke .
Clarke : No . No . I know what you re up to .
Thorne : Mother was just --
Clarke : No , no , no , she was just doing what she usually does -- trying to guilt you into surrendering .
Stephanie : No , that is not what this is about .
Clarke : Oh , you re not trying to get him to cancel the showing ? Give up his shot at the big time ? Thorne , I hope you are not listening to this . They had their chance , they had years to give you your due . But what do they do instead ? They give it all to ridge . Pump up his ego , leave little brother behind -- again . And do nt you deny it . I ve seen it . We ve all seen it for years . Do you know what you re going to see this time ? You re going to see what a mistake you made not believing in this man .
Stephanie : But I do believe in my son . I ve always believed in him .
Clarke : Right . That s why you forced him out of the company .
Stephanie : You ll never , never know how your father and I agonized over that decision . We re so angry with ourselves that we could nt find a way to make it work . We re so -- we just keep hoping that it will all work out . Honey , the truth is , without you there -- I know we hurt you . I know you re still hurting . I understand that and -- I refuse to believe that my son is lost to me . I refuse to believe that we ca nt make this work out , that we ca nt heal the wounds that are existing right now between us , that we ca nt start over again . I love you , honey . I love you . Your father loves you . And we want you to come back . Please ? I m begging you now . Give me one chance . Give your father one chance . We can make it right . We can . I promise you , you ll never feel second - best ever again .

### Dialogue:
John : Hi .
Kelly : Hi .
John : Where you going ?
Kelly : The doctors signed off on me this afternoon .
John : That s great . You look great . Ready for a fight ?
Kelly : I would nt want to run into Natalie in a dark alley . She could probably still take me .
Joey : Hey , Natalie . Look at you , up and dressed .
Natalie : Yeah , I was released .
Joey : That s great ! How s Dad ?
Natalie : Well , I guess we ll find out soon . I was on my way home when he called and said that he wanted me to come see him right away .
Joey : Yeah , I got the same message . Any idea what s going on ?
Natalie : He did nt say . He looks really pale .
Joey : No , he s just been there a long time . He probably just needs a little bit of company . I m sure everything s gon na be fine . Ok ?
Clint : Doc , that is 10 minutes of my life listening to numbers that do nt mean anything to me . Just tell me .
Jay : The numbers are bad , Clint . Your cardiac output is nowhere near what it should be .
Clint : That thing that you put in me , the L - vad -- it s not working ?
Jay : The left ventricle assist device is helping . It bought you some time , just not as much as we d like .
Clint : Put something else in there .
Jay : There is nothing else , Clint . You need a new heart now .
Rex : Bo , what is it ?
Bo : You said they put my brother at the top of the transplant list ?
Rex : Yeah . But it could take a while . They have to wait for a B - negative donor .
Bo : Matthew s blood type . He s B - negative .
Rex : So what are you saying ? Do you think that Matthew s heart is a match for Clint ?
Starr : Destiny , you should go home and get some sleep . Matthew will understand . You ve been here ...
Destiny : Ooh , stop .
Starr : I m sorry . Look , I want to help . I just do nt know what to say . Maybe I can go--
Destiny : I m gon na be sick .
Jack : Took you long enough .
Brad : I had to sneak out . What s up ?
Jack : Like I told you , Wheezy is in love .
Brad : So he totally went for fake magazine girl ?
Jack : Oh , yeah . Wheezy ca nt stop himself from e - mailing comicgurl15 . The moron does nt even know he s lusting after me .
Gigi : Comicgurl15 is Jack Manning ?
Shane : Yeah .
Gigi : Why ?
Shane : He s messing with me for making him cry at the gym . He thinks he s getting back at me . Too bad I m on to him , huh ?
Bo : I have no idea if Matthew s heart s a match for Clint , Balsom . I m just saying they have the same blood type .
Nora : Who does ?
Sam : I forgot my soda .
Gigi : Are you sure it s not a girl that has a crush on you ?
Shane : Out of nowhere ? She said she saw me at the comic convention , but look . She said her favorite Batman villain is Black Cat .
Gigi : Black Cat ? She s not D.C. , she s Marvel .
Shane : Thank you .
Gigi : She dated Spiderman , for crying out loud . Who does nt know that ?
Shane : Nobody who goes to a comic convention .
Gigi : You re right . She s an imposter .
Shane : Who showed up right after I dropped the weight on Manning s foot . It s got to be him .
Gigi : Ok . Sold .
Shane : Where you going ?
Gigi : To kick Jack Manning s bullying butt .
Brad : Wheezy in love : This is so sweet .
Jack : Is nt it ?
Brad : So do we go ahead with the plan ?
Jack : I m still perfecting it , which is why I need you . You got to help me figure it out .
Brad : Yeah , I ca nt stay long .
Jack : What do you mean ?
Brad : My mom s all over my case .
Jack : So you re bailing ?
Brad : No . I m just saying I got to be more careful .
Jack : Yeah . Me , too . I m under constant parental surveillance . That does nt mean I m giving up . Wheezy is going down .
Sam : Who s Wheezy ?
Starr : Destiny ? You ok ? How are you feeling ?
Destiny : Stupid .
Starr : You should nt .
Destiny : I practically puked right in front of you .
Starr : You were nt feeling well . It happens .
Destiny : It does nt happen to me . Besides , I do nt have time to be sick . Matthew needs me .
Nora : What s going on ? Whose blood type are we talking about ?
Bo : Matthew s . He s B - negative , and it turns out Clint is , too .
Nora : And ? What does that have to do with anything ?
Jay : But the good news is you re still at the top of the transplant list .
Clint : Hey , I m number one .
Jay : As soon as a compatible heart s available ...
Clint : Slim chance of that .
Jay : What ?
Clint : My blood type , B - negative , is not exactly common .
Jay : That s right .
Clint : That s the first part , though , of being a match , right ?
Jay : Yes .
Clint : How long do I have ?
Jay : That s hard to say .
Clint : Weeks ?
Jay : Days . If I were you , I would get your affairs in order . Let me know if there s anything I can do to help . Your family should be told about the situation .
Clint : Kids , come on in . Doc , thanks a lot . Thank you .
Jay : I ll be back soon .
Clint : Yeah .
Natalie : Hey , Dad .
Clint : Hi . Hey . You going home ?
Natalie : Yeah . It s a good thing I bounce , huh ?
Joey : Dad , you all right ? You want water ?
Natalie : Dad , is there something that they can give you for that ?
Clint : No , sweetheart , they ca nt .
John : I do nt think Natalie s gon na be fighting anytime soon .
Kelly : Oh , she wo nt ?
John : Do nt quote me on it , but she s got better things to do .
Kelly : Thanks to you . I heard you found Liam .
John : We got lucky . Marty abandoned him and ran .
Kelly : Any leads on where she is ?
John : She just up and disappeared .
Kelly : She ll turn up .
John : I do nt know . She boarded a plane with enough fuel to take her across the Atlantic .
Kelly : Wow .
John : You know , we re not gon na take any chances . You re gon na have police protection as long as you need it .
Kelly : No . No , do nt do that .
John : It s the least I can do . I owe you .
Kelly : How do you figure that ?
John : I m the reason Marty came after you .
Kelly : John , she came after me because she s a sick woman . You did nt cause that . I should ve seen her coming . In my family , we learn to look for the signs . Besides , I was distracted . So were you .
John : Oh , yeah ?
Kelly : Mm - hmm . We were wrapped up in each other .
John : You say that like it s a bad thing .
Kelly : No , no . I just think it might be time for a change .
John : What kind of change ?
Kelly : Maybe we should stop seeing each other .
Old Todd : Thanks , kid .
Jack : What , are you spying now ?
Sam : You re not supposed to be on the computer . Mom said .
Jack : I m not on the computer . Got it ?
Sam : 10 bucks and I did nt see anything .
Jack : 10 noogies if you say one word .
Sam : Got to catch me first .
Jack : You think you can outrun me ? Ow ! Oh , my God , that s my bad toe !
Brad : Ha ha ! Gimpy !
Shane : Mom , stop ! You ca nt kick Jack s butt .
Gigi : You ve never seen me do it before , but , yes , I can , honey . Trust me .
Shane : You ll just make things worse !
Gigi : Ok . Sorry . You re right . I do nt want to give you more trouble .
Shane : I mean , it s great that you would do it and all . It s just I m handling this . Ok ?
Gigi : You should just leave Jack alone .
Shane : I m standing up for myself .
Gigi : Ok , that s good ...
Shane : What am I supposed to do ? Just keep taking it until I ca nt anymore , and then I end up going off and k ...
Clint : So how s Liam ?
Natalie : Oh , he s fine . He s fine . Thank God he s a baby . He did nt even know what was going on . He s at home with Brody , but he ca nt wait to see his grandpa . And Bree -- she was asking about the card that she made you .
Clint : Oh , yes , I got it . There s a big heart with a tinker bell bandage over it .
Natalie : Yeah .
Clint : Joey , I bet she s running you ragged .
Joey : No , no , not at all . Not at all . She and Ryder are the most fun that I have these days .
Clint : They need you . All of you , you have to stick together now . And everybody that you love -- they need to be close to you .
Kelly : We were just always reacting , and not to each other . We d fall into bed to distract ourselves from how hurt we were .
John : It was nt only that , was it ?
Kelly : No , no . You were good to me . And when I was low , you were there .
John : Back at you .
Kelly : The truth is we re both in love with other people .
Natalie : Dad , what do you mean ?
Clint : I took care of Duke as best I could , but I m not gon na be able to do that for your kids .
Joey : Dad , you re a great grandpa , ok , and you re gon na be out of here in no time .
Clint : No , I wo nt .
Natalie : Is that what the doctor said ? Because if you re just here for a while or you need a lot of physical therapy , we ll be here for you .
Clint : Darling , there s nothing that you can do .
Natalie : That s not true .
Joey : Dad , we re gon na figure this out .
Clint : I m dying .
Nora : What s going on ?
Bo : Nothing .
Nora : You were talking about blood types for a reason .
Bo : Because Balsom just told me that Clint s taken a turn for the worse . The only thing that can save him now is a transplant , but he s at the top of the list .
Nora : That s good , right ? That means he ll get the first available ... God . You want to give Matthew s heart to your brother ?
Jack : Do nt call me Gimpy .
Brad : Hey , it s not my fault you ca nt control your little brother .
Jack : What do you want ? My mom lets him wander around .
Brad : So next time , lock him up .
Jack : Brad , you re a genius !
Brad : I know . You re right ...
Jack : Just shut up and listen . I know exactly how we re gon na get Wheezy .
Gigi : You want to do something to hurt yourself ?
Shane : No .
Gigi : Then why would you say that ?
Shane : I did nt . I just ... nothing .
Gigi : Ok . And now you re not talking .
Shane : It s not a big deal . I swear .
Gigi : You can talk to your new doctor about it , right ?
Shane : I know .
Gigi : Are you still upset about Dr. Buhari ?
Shane : No . I mean , it s really bad what happened to her , but that s not ... I m ok , really . Just forget I said it . It does nt mean anything . It just came out .
Gigi : Are you that upset that Jack Manning is pulling this stunt ?
Shane : No .
Gigi : If you ignore Jack , he ll get bored and move on .
Shane : Why should I do that when I can beat him at his own game ? If I ignore him , he ll just try something else . I got to draw the line , right ?
Gigi : Yeah . You should defend yourself , Shane . I.M. back that you re on to him , and then let it go . Ok ? Promise me you ll just leave Jack Manning alone . Drop it , ok ?
Jack : So ?
Brad : Pretty good .
Jack : Pretty good ? It s perfect .
Brad : Let me know what I can do .
Jack : You ca nt leave . We re doing this now .
Brad : Now ? As in today ?
Jack : Exactly . Total retaliation right now .
Starr : Here . Just have a little sip .
Destiny : Yeah . I do nt want a repeat . It must ve been that burrito . Hospital cafeteria food -- oh , who knows how long it was under that heat lamp ?
Starr : I do nt think that that s it . I had half of it , and I m fine . Do you have a fever ?
Destiny : No .
Starr : Maybe it s stress , right ? You said you re trying to be here for Matthew .
Destiny : He is my best friend . I ca nt lose you , not now , not after what happened in your bed . You said it meant something to you . It meant something to me , too .
Starr : Not just a best friend . You guys have been a lot more than that lately .
Destiny : Why are you looking at me like that ?
Starr : Destiny , do you think that there s any chance you could be pregnant ?
Nora : That s it , is nt it ? You want to take Matthew s heart ?
Bo : I did nt say that .
Nora : No , you do nt have to . And you can stop thinking about it , because the answer is no !
Bo : I was nt asking .
Nora : I m not letting anyone take Matthew s heart . They ll have to cut mine out first ! Our son is not dead ! Dr. Pryor says there s some brain activity , and we re not killing him !
Bo : I never said that !
Nora : Then what are you doing ? ! Why are you comparing blood types ? !
Rex : I m the one who said it , Nora , ok ? I just told Bo that Clint would get the next B - negative heart that was available .
Bo : We just talked to Dr. Pryor about organ donation just in case Matt -- weve been talking about his blood type , and it was on my mind and it just -- it came out .
Rex : Believe me , nobody s suggested that Matthew donate anything to Clint . He can get his heart from somewhere else .
Clint : My heart is failing . No way around it .
Natalie : So is that why you confessed everything that you did ? Dad , how long have you known ? Why did nt you tell us ?
Clint : You kids did nt need to be worrying about that .
Joey : We re not kids .
Clint : Oh , yeah , you are . You re my kids , always will be .
Joey : We should ve been here . Do Kevin and Cord -- do they know that ...
Clint : Kevin and Cord are doing exactly what they should be doing -- keeping B.E. afloat so there s something to provide for all of you .
Natalie : Joey and I are here . We could ve been doing ...
Clint : Could ve been doing what ? Could ve been sitting here , waiting for a better answer ?
Joey : Yeah , or finding one .
Clint : Son , I ve tried everything . I did nt tell you , because I d hoped that I did nt have to . But so far , nothing s worked .
Natalie : Yeah , well , I m sorry , but I m not giving up . There s got to be a doctor around here somewhere who could do something !
Clint : There s only one thing that can help me now .
Dr. Pryor : Jay ? I heard you have a cardiac patient on the transplant list ?
Jay : At the top of the list . He has nt got long .
Dr. Pryor : We should talk .
John : Do nt let me get in the way . You should go to Joey and make it happen .
Kelly : He married a woman who did nt love him . He had no idea . It takes time to get over that , for both of us . So I do nt know what s gon na happen next . Maybe we ll be together , maybe we wo nt .
John : Maybe you just need some time alone .
Kelly : What I want is to figure things out with Joey . And I wo nt do that hiding out with you . You know , I put myself out there . I put everything on the line for him . I mean , do nt I owe it to myself to let it play out ? You did that with Natalie . You put yourself out there , John . Do nt you owe it to her to let it play out ?
Joey : We can find you a heart , Dad .
Clint : There s no time , Joey .
Natalie : Then we ll find you one fast , ok ? You re not giving up ! You hear me ?
Clint : I ca nt control this , darling . And what time I have left I want to spend with my family .
Joey : We re not going anywhere .
Clint : Yeah , you are right now , because I m sending you on a mission , both of you .
Joey : Name it .
Clint : Before I die , I want to see you both with the people who will make you happy for the rest of your lives .
Nora : What is happening to Clint is terrible , and I m very sorry for him . I really am . But our thoughts -- our thoughts can only be for our son right now . Ok ? We have to fight for Matthew until he can wake up and fight for himself . And he will get better . So I do nt want to hear another word about blood types or organ donation , not even a whisper about how our son can not be saved . Agreed ?
Old Todd : Who is this guy who keeps saying he s Todd Manning ?
Sam : Who are you ?
Nora : I m sorry , Rex . I m sorry .
Rex : No , no . Listen , it s ok . I understand , ok ? When Shane was so sick from cancer , Gigi and I were very scared . But he -- Shane got a miracle . Matthew will get his , too .
Nora : Excuse me .
Rex : I should nt have said anything about Clint . I m gon na go before I put my foot in my mouth .
Bo : You do nt have to take off .
Rex : No , actually , I do . I would stay with you here all night , but Gigi s waiting for me , so--
Bo : Hey , you got your suit . Must be a big night , huh ?
Rex : It is . We re getting married .
Gigi : I m still waiting on that promise .
Shane : Mom , come on .
Gigi : What s that I hear ? What is that sound ? Bells ? Wedding bells ? Today is our wedding day , dude , the Morasco / Balsom event of the year . Can I please just marry your father without having to worry about you and Jack Manning being in a fight ?
Shane : Yes .
Gigi : Thank you . Are you ready ?
Shane : I already took a shower .
Gigi : Ooh ! Catch me . I might faint . All right . How about some proper clothes to match that shower - fresh smell , best man ? Get dressed .
Shane : Ok .
Gigi : And I ll be keeping this . Just so you re not tempted .
Destiny : You think I m pregnant ?
Starr : I m just saying it could be possible .
Destiny : No way .
Starr : Destiny , you said you slept with Matthew right before he got sick . I started with morning sickness pretty early on .
Destiny : It s not morning , is it ? Starr , you said it yourself . It could just be the stress . Just because I threw up does nt mean I m pregnant .
Starr : As long as you re sure ...
Destiny : I am !
Starr : So you guys used protection ?
Nora : Hi , honey . It s Mom . I m back , and I m gon na look out for you . I promise . Matthew ? Matthew ?
Bo : Congratulations , Balsom . It s about time you two got hitched .
Rex : Yeah . We thought so , too . But looks like it s pretty lousy timing . Maybe we should wait .
Bo : No . No , that s the last thing you should do , because right now everybody needs some happy news . So you go . And you two , you get married and you give Gigi a big kiss for me , too , and really celebrate .
Rex : I feel bad leaving you .
Bo : No , do nt . Do nt . Listen , we re gon na be thinking about you two .
Rex : We ll say a prayer for Matthew .
John : Whatever you want , I hope it comes true .
Kelly : Thank you .
John : Who knows ? Maybe we can grab a drink sometime , and you can tell me all about it .
Kelly : Really ?
John : No . But we can talk .
Kelly : About what ? Jazz ?
John : Making fun of my jazz-- this is the reason we re not going out anymore , you see ?
Kelly : That hurts . But you know what ? Maybe we can just be friends .
John : Friends ? I do nt know about friends . But you ever need me , I ll be there .
Kelly : I know you will .
Kelly : Oh , it figures . Dorian was supposed to pick me up , but it looks like there s a crisis on the set of the David Vickers movie .
John : Do I want to know ?
Kelly : No .
John : I can give you a lift home .
Kelly : You do nt have to do that , no . I ll call a car service . I got an account .
John : Did I ever mention before that you talk too much ? Come on . I ll give you a lift .
Natalie : Dad , we re not gon na waste time talking about my love life .
Joey : Or mine .
Clint : I do nt want to die being worried about the two of you .
Joey : You do nt have to .
Natalie : Yeah , we re fine !
Clint : Like hell you are . You re lost , both of you , and a large part of it is because of me . I just wanted you to be happy the way I once was with your mother . And I am so sorry that I stuck my nose into your business .
Natalie : You did nt do anything to me .
Joey : No , and I m pretty sure I was an idiot about Aubrey all by myself .
Clint : Ok . I m a saint . You two screwed it up all by yourselves . But try again , my dear Natalie . You belong with John and you know it . And you , Joey , you belong with Kelly . And every minute that you are not together is a minute that you will never , ever get again . This is the only thing I m gon na ask of you two , so promise your dad that you ll try again .
Sam : Who are you ?
Old Todd : Who are you ?
Sam : I m the kid whose food you ate .
Old Todd : I was hungry . I have nt eaten in a long time .
Sam : You a homeless person ?
Old Todd : Well , I do nt really know where my home is .
Sam : Aunt Dorian says we should help the homeless . You can wash it down with this .
Old Todd : Thanks , kid . So , you here all by yourself ?
Sam : My grandmom s babysitting me .
Old Todd : Hmm . Oh . Is that right ?
Sam : Yeah .
Old Todd : Can I ask you a question ?
Sam : Sure .
Old Todd : This guy -- you know who he is ?
Sam : Yeah .
Old Todd : Who is he ?
Sam : My dad .
Old Todd : What s his name ?
Sam : Todd Manning .
Clint : I m waiting . You two want to end up alone ? Take it from me , it s no fun .
Natalie : Dad , please stop . Can we just talk about what s going on with you right now ?
Clint : Dying wish . Yes or no ?
Joey : We ll do what we can .
Clint : Good . Now , go make your old man happy .
Joey : We re gon na see you soon . Ok ?
Natalie : I love you .
Clint : I love you , too .
Natalie : Call if you need anything .
Joey : Love you . See you soon .
Clint : You come back to me with good news .
Natalie : Ohh . Oh , my God .
Joey : Yeah , I know . It s ok . It s ok . I got to go . Do you need a ride ?
Natalie : No . I m fine . I m -- I ll see you at the house .
Rex : Hey .
Natalie : Rex . I got to tell you ...
Rex : I know . About Clint , I know . I m really sorry , Nattie .
Natalie : Yeah , not as sorry as you re gon na be if you do nt go in there right now and make peace with our father before he dies .
Joey : Hi . Excuse me . Was Kelly Cramer moved ?
Nurse : Oh , she was discharged . Her friend , the detective , took her home a little while ago .
Jack : Hey .
John : Hey , Jack . You staying out of trouble ?
Jack : I do nt even know the meaning of the word .
John : Yeah , right . Do nt you want to say hi to Kelly , maybe welcome her home ?
Jack : Hey , Kelly . Welcome home .
Kelly : Hey .
John : Yeah . Do nt you feel welcome ?
Kelly : Oh , yes . Oh , no . I forgot my laptop . It s charging at the hospital .
John : Hey , I ll go get it .
Kelly : No , you do nt have to go do that .
John : Really , it s no problem .
Kelly : Thank you .
John : Sure .
Kelly : Ok . Bye .
John : Bye .
Starr : Did you and Matthew use protection ?
Destiny : Yes . Now can we please drop this ?
Starr : I m sorry . I didnt -- I did nt mean to embarrass you or make you feel uncomfortable .
Destiny : I ca nt be pregnant . I m still a kid .
Starr : You are older than I was when I found out that I was pregnant . Destiny , it can happen .
Destiny : But it did nt . Not to me .
Rex : I do nt want to talk about Clint . Actually , I have some good news for you . Are you ready for some good news ?
Natalie : Does it have something to do with why you re wearing that suit ?
Rex : Gigi and I are getting married today .
Natalie : What ?
Rex : I m on my way to the courthouse right now , but it s just Gigi , me , and Shane . We do nt want to make a big deal , so you re not missing anything .
Natalie : Oh , God . Congratulations ! Oh , this is huge ! This is so -- we have to throw you a big party . Finally ! I m so happy for you two .
Rex : Thanks .
Natalie : Tell Dad . He really likes Shane , and if he knew that you were getting married , maybe he ...
Rex : Look , I have to go .
Natalie : Rex ! Listen . I know that Dad did terrible things to you , but he s a good person . He really is , and he loves his family . And I know he puts up a huge fight , but deep down inside he loves you .
Rex : You really believe that ?
Natalie : Yes . Yes , I do , and you do nt have years to decide -- you might not even have a week . If you do nt go and make this right now , you re gon na regret it the rest of your life .
Shane : Hey , Mom ! The limo s here . It s sick ! Why are nt you ready yet ?
Gigi : I messed up my makeup . See what happens when you re so wonderful ? It makes me cry .
Shane : We re gon na be so late .
Gigi : No , we re not . We got plenty of time . You go ahead in the sick limo , and try to keep your dad calm . I ll be on my way soon .
Shane : But the car s for you , too .
Gigi : That s ok . I ll get in it on the way home . Please give this to your father . It s worth a shot ! Next time we see each other , we ll both be Balsoms .
Shane : Morasco - Balsoms .
Gigi : Ok .
Brad : Hmm . Was nt girlie enough .
Jack : Hey , cutie . I m going to a party tonight . You should come . What else do you want ? OMG ! Xoxo ?
Brad : Maybe .
Jack : Only if I turn into an actual chick . Do nt worry , man . Wheezy s gon na respond .
Jack : See ? What d I tell you ?
Brad : Where and when ?
Jack : Oh , I am a genius . This plan is genius !
Gigi : Here s the invite . Ca nt wait to see you . Me neither , you little twerp . I ll teach you to mess with my son and still make it to my wedding on time . I never could take my own advice .
Jack : Kelly , you ve got company ! She ll be right down .
Kelly : Hey , I do nt they think they heard you in Pine Valley . Wow .
Rex : I have something to say to you .
Starr s voice : You said you slept with Matthew right before he got sick . Destiny , do you think that there s any chance you could be pregnant ?
Destiny s voice : I ca nt be pregnant . I m still a kid .
Starr s voice : You re older than I was when I found out that I was pregnant .
Dr. Pryor : Ok . Let s see what we have .
Nora : Oh , my God . He squeezed my hand . With his left hand . He squeezed my hand !
Bo : You re gon na check his pupils again ?
Dr. Pryor : Mm - hmm . Looking for a dilatory response . There is nt one .
Nora : Check it again .
Dr. Pryor : There s no change in Matthew s condition .
Nora : No , but if you just ...
Dr. Pryor : What you felt was an involuntary reflex .
Nora : Just put the light in his eye and keep it there . I m telling you , it will trigger something ...
Dr. Pryor : It wo nt .
Nora : He squeezed my hand .
Dr. Pryor : I can give you this light , and you can do that for as long as you want . It wo nt change anything . But if it helps you ...
Nora : Helps me ? It s not about helping me ! It s about helping him !
Dr. Pryor : There s nothing that can be done for Matthew . Anything I can do to help you come to terms with that , I will .
Nora : I ca nt . I ca nt , I ca nt , I ca nt . I do nt understand ! It s just too random ! It s just pointless ! He ca nt be like this forever !
Dr. Pryor : It is random , and it s cruel , but it does nt have to be meaningless . Your son has a chance to help other people . I conferred with your brother s doctor . He only has a few days left , but it s possible Matthew s heart could save him .
Joey : Hey . I m sorry . I should ve called you . I stopped by your room at the hospital . They said John brought you home . I do nt even know what I m doing here . I m gon na go . I do nt want to intrude .
Kelly : You re not intruding . What -- what s wrong ?
Joey : My father s dying .
Kelly : Oh , my . I m so sorry . I m so sorry .
Old Todd : So this guy right here , this guy ? His name is Todd Manning ...
Sam : Yeah .
Old Todd : And he s your dad ?
Sam : Yeah , he s my dad .
Old Todd : Let me ask you something . Who s your mother ?
Starr : Sam ?
Old Todd : Shh , shh .
Starr : Sam ? What are you doing ? Who were you talking to ?
### Summary:
| Clint informs Natalie and Joey for the first time that he is dying . But they urge him not to give up . He tells them his first priority is to make certain that they can be happy in their lives with the right respective people who are John for Natalie and Kelly for Joey . Yet Natalie and John are not ready to get back together while John focuses on taking Kelly home after she gets discharged from the hospital and expresses wanting to see her again although she is uncertain about that . Jack and his friend , Brad are determined to get revenge upon Shane and fool him into believing they are comicgurl15 on the computer although Shane is onto them . When Shane informs his mom what he knows Jack is doing , she has a secret plan to go and confront Jack assuming she can do it and get back in time for her wedding to Rex although she does not tell her son or her fiancé of her secret plan . While Matthew is unconscious and the doctors tell Bo and Nora it s highly unlikely he will ever get better , Rex informs Bo that he s heard Clint is dying and awaiting an unlikely possibility of a heart transplant when he s heard that Clint has a rare blood type . Hearing that , Bo remembers that Matthew has the same blood type as his uncle and while the doctor tells them that donating Matthew s organs might be a way to make something positive of this very grim situation , it appears Bo is considering a plan . Nora tells him she refuses to let that happen and will not give up on Matthew . Meanwhile , Starr observes Destiny suddenly throwing up without an explanation , finds out that Destiny slept with Matthew not using protection , and concludes that it s entirely possible that Destiny could be pregnant . Original Todd finds his way to Dorian s home where current Todd is living and meets Sam for the first time . |

### Dialogue:
Patrick : I m sorry , Jennifer , but I ca nt go with you to Philip and Belle s wedding . I m , uh , I m going with Billie to look for her daughter .
Hope : What ? That s a great idea . You know how the DiMeras think and you re on our side . What more could we ask for ? He ll be a huge help to Billie . I think it s great .
Jennifer : Could nt this be dangerous for you , Patrick ?
Patrick : Oh , no , no . I can take care of myself , and , uh , we ll look out for each other .
Hope : When are you leaving ?
Bo : She s not leaving . Billie s not going anywhere with Lockhart .
Hope : Bo , you should nt be out of bed . You re not well .
Bo : I do nt trust him . I do nt want him involved . He could be working for the DiMeras -- lead Billie right into a trap .
Philip : Is it warm in here ?
Kate : Sweetie , you are just nervous . Grooms always feel that way on their wedding day . There s nothing to be worried about .
Philip : Good . Nothing to be worried about , right ?
John : Help me , Doc .
John : One , two ...
Belle : Dad , stop ! Please , please . No , it s okay .
John : It s okay . I got ta try . It s okay .
Belle : Dad , I can not stand to see you in this much pain .
John : I can tell my -- my legs wanna work . If could just -- damn ! Lexie needs to give me some stronger painkillers , that s all .
Belle : Dad , there is nothing to be ashamed of . I do nt care if you re in a wheelchair . I just ca nt stand to see you like this .
John : I made a promise to you that I m gon na walk you down that aisle . That was not only my dream , it was your mother s . And I intend ... to keep that promise .
Jan : Shawn , where were you ? I was worried about you .
Shawn - D : Why ? Do nt you think I can take care of myself ?
Jan : Well , I did nt know where you were . I mean , we just finished making love , and it was wonderful , and then you just leave ?
Shawn - D : I just needed some time to think .
Jan : Think about what ?
Shawn - D : Belle and Philip are getting married now ?
Alice : Oh , yes .
Shawn - D : I ca nt believe this .
Alice : Well , do you intend to do something about it ?
Jan : Shawn ? What are you thinking about ?
Shawn - D : You really wanna know ?
Hope : Bo , Patrick is nt working for the DiMeras . Billie says the disk she found from Tony s computer completely cleared him .
Bo : Tony could have planted that disk .
Hope : Wait a minute . You do nt believe the disk supports Patrick s innocence , but you believed it when it said your daughter s still alive .
Bo : I m not 100 % convinced of that , either . I m sorry , Billie , but we should be prepared for the idea that all this may be a lie .
Billie : It s not . She s alive ! And Patrick is not a bad guy .
Jennifer : I do nt believe that he is a bad guy either , Bo . I trusted him with my life in that jungle .
Bo : Come on , Jen . He lied to you for months . His assignment from the DiMeras was to get close to you . It s not just a coincidence that he s in your life right now .
Jennifer : His family lives here . His family lives in Salem . He is not working for the DiMeras anymore .
Bo : So he says . And I do nt like the fact that he s in Salem , and living above your garage . And you -- what the hell are you thinking ? Why did you ask him to help you look for our daughter ?
Billie : I did nt ask him . He volunteered . And I am not about to turn down anyone who wants to help me look for our daughter . Now we re going . And there s not a damned thing you can do or say to stop us .
Belle : Please , I ca nt stand seeing you like this . Just stop !
John : I m sorry . I m sorry , baby .
Belle : The only thing that matters to me is that you re here with me today when I get married . Especially since -- I just wish mom were here .
John : Your mother s always gon na be in our hearts , baby . I just wish she were here right now to see how beautiful you are . And to wish you and the man that you love all the happiness in the world . You do love Philip , do nt you ?
Belle : He s -- he s everything I ve ever wanted . And you know how much he loves me .
John : Yeah , I do .
Belle : I just ca nt believe we pulled off this wedding before Philip got shipped out .
John : A lot of people turned , too , did nt they ? It s because we all wanna see you happy , honey .
Belle : I know . I love you .
John : Oh , I love you , baby . I love you , baby girl .
Jan : Of course , I want to know . Come on , baby , tell me . Where were you , huh ? Why did you have to leave our nice warm bed ?
Shawn - D : I told you . I had some things I had to think about .
Jan : You know , if something s bothering you , I wanna know . I m your fiancé . If you ca nt talk to me , then who can you talk to ?
Alice : Who would you normally talk to about your feelings ? That s right , you talked to Belle .
Shawn - D : It s nothing you can help me with .
Jan : Okay . Okay , so you left , you thought , and now you re back . So why do nt we just go to bed , huh ? Shawn , what is wrong with you ?
Shawn - D : Belle and Philip are getting married .
Jan : Yeah . Yeah , Shawn , I know . They ve been engaged since --
Shawn - D : No , no , no . They are getting married right now . And they are making the biggest mistake of their lives .
Philip : [ Grunts ]
Kate : Oh , come on . Hold still , hold still .
Philip : Mom , come on . I m a marine , for God s sake . Just stop , okay ? I ll be all right .
Kate : Your father would be so proud of you today .
Philip : My marine buddy should be here soon . And then ...
Kate : And then ... I ca nt tell you how happy I am for you . And this wedding is going to be so magnificent -- in Saint Luke s , with the military honor guard ...
Philip : Oh , mom , it s okay . Come on , just stop . It s gon na be okay .
Kate : I know , I just ca nt help it because I m -- I m so happy for you . Oh , sweetie .
Mimi : We better get to the church .
Belle : Yeah , you re right .
John : Go on . Go on . I ll be over right after I change . A driver from Basic Black s gon na pick me up . Sweetheart , hey , just remember , Belle , true happiness is priceless . And that s what I want for you and Philip . Do you promise me that ?
Belle : I will , dad . I promise , I will be happy .
Mimi : Okay , no more crying . I mean it . Belle , you ca nt have bloodshot eyes .
Belle : Okay , she s right . I love you , dad .
John : I love you . Go .
Mimi : We ll head over there , and we ll see you later .
John : Thanks , Meems . Be careful . Bye , honey . I m gon na walk you down that aisle , Belle . And there s only one way to make that happen .
John : This is John Black . I need to see you right away .
Jan : Look , I know Belle was your first love , and you always thought the two of you were gon na get married . But she betrayed you . And I know it took you a really long time to get over her . So , hearing that she s really marrying Philip is an end to a really big part of your life . And I understand that , Shawn . I do . But that is the reason that you re upset . And I promise you , after this wedding , everything is going to be much , much better .
Shawn - D : Where is it ? Where s the damn announcement in the paper ?
Jan : You need to calm down and forget that this is even happening . Look , just drink this .
Shawn - D : This is the last thing I want or need right now . What the hell are you trying to do to me ?
Bo : Billie , I ca nt stop you from leaving , but you should nt take him with you . Just wait a day or two . I ll be well enough to go with you .
Hope : Wait a minute . A day or two ? What , are you crazy ? What are you thinking ? Clearly you re not -- first of all , you re not well . Second of all , I hope you remember that you have two sons -- Zack and Shawn . Shawn -- who really desperately needs his father here right now .
Bo : Why do you keep talking to me like that ?
Hope : Oh , let me think . Well , let s see . Why is that ? Because you keep taking off , and you re getting ready to take off again , and risk your life , and leave your family behind based on nothing but blind hope . You have nt even heard what this lead is .
Jennifer : All right , let s just take a minute . Let s hear what Billie has to say , what this lead is , and we ll go from there , okay ?
Hope : That s a good idea .
Billie : Thank you , Jennifer . Okay , I found some more information on that disk we found in Europe -- latitude and longitude associated with Georgia s name . I believe she s being kept there in the vicinity of the DiMera castle . Now , I have to believe that those coordinates will lead me to my daughter . That information was well - hidden on that disk . Someone did nt want us to find it .
Hope : Or they expected you to .
Billie : Oh , look , I told you , I did not come over here to ask Bo to go with me . I came over here out of consideration -- to let him know what s going on . And in case something were to happen to me or Patrick .
Jennifer : Well , what do you think could happen ?
Hope : Well , let s see , if it was anything like last time , maybe they could end up dead .
Billie : Finding my daughter is worth the risk .
Hope : If she s really out there . And if this lead is real . Oh , and spare me your consideration . Because you and I both know that you did nt have to come all the way over here to tell Bo . That s what phones are for . You came over here wanting Bo to go with you .
Billie : I did not . I told you --
Hope : I know what you told me , and everyone standing here in this room knows exactly how Bo feels about Patrick . So bringing him over here and parading him around was like waving a red flag in his face . You knew damn well what you were doing . And you knew the minute Bo heard about it , he d insist on going with you . Is nt that what you really want ?
John : Oh , Mark , come on in . Thanks for coming right over .
Mark : Of course . After what we went through together at the I.S.A. , it s the least I could do . John , I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about the loss of your wife .
John : Yeah , thanks , Mark . It s been -- it s been hard .
Mark : How are you feeling physically ?
John : Below average . The long - term prognosis is positive , but I m not in agreement with the treatment right now .
Mark : You need a second opinion ?
John : I ve already had that . I know my machine better than anybody . What I really need is some top shelf medication .
Mark : I see . John , I m not your treating physician . You know I ca nt give you drugs .
John : Well , that s where you re wrong , Agent Sparrow . You can , and you will .
Jan : You re tense . This is gon na help you relax . And the reason why you re tense is cause you re still a little hung over . You remember how a little something helped you the last time ?
Shawn - D : Yeah , it did . Then I definitely need this .
Belle : Is nt it beautiful ?
Shawn - D : You are beautiful . You literally take my breath away .
Belle : I know what you mean .
Shawn - D : May I have this dance ?
Shawn - D : Damn it , Jan. Belle can not marry Philip .
Belle : Oh , God . It is so hard to believe this is my wedding dress . It s gorgeous , is nt it ?
Mimi : Oh , yes , it is , absolutely . But would nt you rather be wearing this dress ?
Belle : I was going to alter it for Sami s wedding .
Mimi : But it was Caroline Brady s dress . She wanted you to wear it .
Belle : Sami is her granddaughter .
Mimi : Shawn is her grandson .
Belle : I am not marrying Shawn .
Mimi : But you wish you were , do nt you ?
Billie : Oh , for the last time , I had no intention of coming over here and asking Bo to go with me .
Bo : She would nt do that , Hope .
Hope : Really ? Since when ? Bo , she s running on pure emotion . She s not thinking any of this through . For all we know , it could be just another wild goose chase , or worse -- a setup .
Billie : Look , the bottom line is Georgia could be in trouble . Especially if her captors know that she tried to contact me . And that s why I m leaving tonight .
Hope : Well , then , stop talking about it and go . Go , Billie . If you re so damned determined to put yourself and Patrick in the line of fire , go . But I ll tell you something , Bo is not going as far as the front step with you . Not without hard evidence -- and you ve got none .
Bo : I can speak for myself .
Hope : Are you disagreeing with me ? You know as well as I do this is crazy .
Billie : You know what ? You do nt want us to find our daughter , do you ?
Hope : I resent you saying that . If your daughter s out there , I want you to find her , and I want you to bring her home . But my husband s not going with you this time , not without hard evidence .
Bo : I m not turning my back on my daughter .
Hope : And I m not asking you to . I m just asking someone to use a little common sense , for God s sake .
Bo : Talking about common sense , why does anybody trust Lockhart here , huh ?
Billie : Excuse me , I have to take this .
Jennifer : Patrick . Please just tell Billie that you wo nt go with her .
Patrick : What ? Why ?
Jennifer : Because if you do nt go , then Billie wo nt go . And then Bo and Hope wo nt have anything to fight about , and he can stay home , and he can recover and get well .
Patrick : Jennifer , Jennifer , Billie is going , even if she has to go alone . Okay , that is suicide . Now I have to do whatever I can to help her , no matter how dangerous it is .
Kate : Belle and Mimi are here . And Belle looks absolutely beautiful , by the way . And she is so excited . So ... it wo nt be long .
Philip : I know . You do nt have to keep reminding me , I know .
Kate : And the guests -- the guests are going to be here soon .
Philip : Yeah . I wonder if Shawn s gon na show up .
Kate : Shawn ? Why would he be here ? Did you invite him ?
Philip : No , no . Of course not . I just -- I m sure he s heard about it . I just hope he does nt show up and pull some stunt to ruin this for Belle .
Kate : I m sure we do nt have to worry about that .
Jan : Shawn , Belle would nt have accepted Philip s proposal if she did nt want to marry him .
Shawn - D : Belle has blinders on when it comes to Philip . He s an arrogant jerk who s just gon na end up disappointing her . He guilted her into this wedding .
Jan : That s really none of your business anymore , is it ?
Shawn - D : Look , just because I m not with Belle does nt mean I do nt care about her . I m not gon na sit back and watch her throw her future away .
Jan : Where are you going ?
Shawn - D : You re afraid I m gon na run over to the chapel and talk Belle into marrying me ? I m just gon na go take a shower and clear my head .
Jan : Thank God . Cause by the time you get out of that shower , you wo nt be thinking about little Miss Belle . And by the time those drugs wear off , it ll be too late . She ll be married to Philip . But why wait here ? Let me distract you , Shawn .
Belle : How many times have I told you , Mimi ? Shawn and I are through . He s not interested in me . I am marrying Philip . He is my future . He is what makes me happy .
Mimi : Great , but I saw you with your dad today . You could nt even tell him that you love Philip .
Belle : I could too tell him . Did nt I ?
Mimi : No , you did nt . But how many times could you tell him that you loved Shawn ?
Belle : It does nt matter . It s over . When Shawn left town , how many times did you tell me to move on with my life ? And now that I ve done that , that s a mistake , too ? I do nt wanna spend any more time thinking about what might have been .
Mimi : How about what might still be ?
Belle : No , Mimi . Please , stop talking about it . Help me get ready .
Mimi : Okay , if you were really , truly over Shawn , that would be one thing . But you ca nt forget about him . I know you , Belle . You re my best friend . Shawn and Philip are my friends , too , and I do nt -- I do nt wanna see either one of them hurt . It s all up to you .
Belle : Are you saying that I m gon na hurt Shawn ? After everything he has done to me ?
Mimi : But it was nt his fault !
Belle : Oh , it was nt ?
Mimi : His head injury . You know that he s not himself , Belle .
Belle : How is it not totally his decision to dump me for Jan ? He does nt want me , Mimi , and there is nothing that I can do about that . And I do nt even want to anymore . Just do nt do this to me . Today is my wedding day , and I know I am making the right decision . And Philip and I are going to be very happy .
Mimi : Okay . Are you sure you do nt wanna wear Caroline s dress ?
Belle : This is my dress . It s my design . And Philip is going to be my husband .
Jennifer : Listen , the best way that you can help Billie is by making her realize that what Hope is saying makes a lot of sense . Just talk to her . Convince her not to go . We need to know more .
Patrick : I would love to , okay ? But what I know about Billie is that once she makes up her mind , no one can change it .
Billie : Damn it .
Bo : What is it ? Who called ?
Billie : Well , that was the airport . The Basic Black jet managed to make it back from Europe , but now it needs servicing . So it looks like I m not going anywhere for a few days . You got your wish .
Patrick : I m sorry , Billie .
Billie : That s okay , Lockhart . At least now you can take Jennifer with you to Belle and Philip s wedding , and Bo can go back to bed , and Hope can stop worrying that I m about to take her husband away from her forever .
Hope : If you were listening , Billie , I was nt saying you should give up on the search . What I was saying is I do nt think you re going about this logically . And not being able to leave tonight is probably the best thing that could have happened .
Bo : Hope is right . We should take our time . Let me take a look at this information you have , see how we should proceed .
Billie : Okay . I got it right here .
Jennifer : Hey , come here . Listen , it s all gon na be okay , it is .
Hope : I still do nt know if my husband s taking off with that woman tomorrow .
Jennifer : All right . Well , just stay calm , all right . Because if Bo thinks that you do nt have faith in him --
Hope : I have faith in him . It s Billie .
Hope : [ Thinking ] Everyone sees how hard Billie s fighting to find her daughter . But that is nothing compared to how hard I ll fight to keep my husband .
Mark : John , I appreciate your situation . But I can not ... will not give you any drugs .
John : Hey , relax , Mark , come on . Come on . Sit down . Let me explain the situation .
John : My baby girl s getting married , mark . I promised her I d walk her down the aisle .
Mark : John , I m sorry , but your health is the most important thing here . The worst thing you could do now is self - medicate .
John : Look , we ve all had field training in the proper use of narcotics . I m not some junkie looking for a fix ! Besides , you owe me , Mark .
Mark : Paris .
John : Paris . Have nt forgotten what I did for you in Paris , have you ?
Mark : No , I could never forget that , no matter how I tried .
John : Look , Mark , all I m looking for is a little something to get me through the wedding . You know , this is a once - in - a - lifetime thing , you know ?
John : Thanks , Mark .
Mark : Do nt thank me . We re even now .
John : That s a fact .
Mark : This goes against everything I believe -- the reason I joined the I.S.A. I ca nt believe you would stoop this low .
John : Come on , Mark --
Mark : Never contact me again . Our friendship is over . This is for you , Belle .
John : Oh . Come on , come -- come -- come -- come on .
Mimi : Stop being so damned stubborn , Belle ! It is not too late . Think about what you had with Shawn . Not that long ago , you stood here in this room with Caroline s dress on , and dreamed about marrying Shawn , the love of your life , and living happily ever after .
Belle : I am going to live happily ever after ... with Philip .
Mimi : Philip is a great guy . Really , he is . But you do nt love him ! You love Shawn ! Admit it to yourself . Admit it to him ! At least talk to him . Is nt what you had with Shawn -- all that love , all those hopes and dreams -- worth one last try ?
Shawn - D s voice : Hi , you ve reached Shawn . And I guess Rex and Mimi live here , too . Leave us a message and we ll get back to you .
Belle s voice : Shawn , it s Belle . Look , I m at the church , and I really wanna see you . We need to talk . Please call .
Jan : I m sorry . You did nt want any company . I mean , I thought you d like it . Did you hear the phone ring ? Can you even hear me ? I wonder who called .
Jennifer : Hope , you certainly have a right to want your husband here with you and your sons .
Hope : Thank you for saying that , because I do nt think Billie believes that I do . Right now I just want Bo to get some rest . Excuse me . Uh , sorry to break up your -- your planning , but Bo really needs to get some rest .
Bo : Hope , this lead could be legit .
Billie : I told you .
Hope : The key is could be .
Jennifer : Patrick , we really need to get going if we re gon na make it to the wedding .
Patrick : Yeah , uh , I m ready .
Jennifer : Billie , are you gon na go to the wedding , too , now that you re not leaving ?
Billie : Uh , yeah , of course . My little brother s getting married .
Hope : Jen , I d like to go with you , but I really wanna stay here with Bo .
Bo : Give Philip and Belle my regards , will you ?
Jennifer : Yeah , I will . Listen , you get well .
Bo : I will .
Patrick : Okay , I ll see you later .
Billie : Thanks , Lockhart .
Patrick : Here you go . See ya .
Hope : Bye , Patrick .
Billie : Okay , I m going , too . That is what you want , is nt it , Hope ?
Mimi : Oh , Belle .
Belle : How do I look ?
Belle : Come in ... unless you re Philip .
Kate : Oh , you look beautiful .
Belle : Thank you .
Mimi : Do I do good work , or do I do good work ?
Kate : Well , I think I had a little to do with it as well . Okay , I have a wonderful surprise for you .
Belle : I do nt need any surprises .
John : I told you I was gon na walk you down the aisle , did nt I ?
Belle : Oh , dad . You should nt be doing this . I do nt -- I do nt want you to be in any pain .
Kate : It s amazing , is nt it ? He s walking .
John : Why , do I look like I m in pain ?
Belle : Well , no , not really . But how -- how are you --
John : Just mind over matter . Any pain that I might experience will be offset by the joy of just walking my baby girl down the aisle , and then watching her marry the man of her dreams .
Philip : Hey , it s me .
Mimi : Oh , hey , you ca nt come in here !
Philip : I know . I know . I just wanna tell Belle that I love her . And that I ca nt wait to marry her , and make every single one of her dreams come true .
Belle : Thank you , Philip .
Belle : [ Thinking ] Please , Shawn , call . I have to talk to you before I marry Philip .
Belle s voice : Shawn , it s Belle . Look , I m at the church and I really wanna see you . We need to talk . Please call .
Jan : I m so sorry , Belle , but I do nt think so . Say bye - bye .
Shawn - D : Jan , what are you doing ?
Bo : Billie , you re always welcome here . Right ?
Hope : Of course .
Hope : Billie , look , I m really sorry if I upset you before . I ca nt tell you how much I want you to find your daughter .
Billie : Thank you .
Hope : There s just so many unknowns , and it s dangerous . Your life and Bo s life are two precious to risk .
Billie : I m willing to take that risk . I m gon na find my daughter no matter what it takes .
Hope : Billie , just listen to me , okay ? What good are you to her if you re dead ? I m sorry to be so blunt , but ... I think the best thing that you could do is hire a private investigator . Bo and I will help you pay for it .
Billie : A private investigator ?
Hope : Yes , they can do everything that you can do -- maybe even more because they re not emotionally involved . They can be objective .
Billie : I m sorry , Hope . Um , I know your heart is in the right place , but what would you do if you were me , and it was your daughter or son out there somewhere . Would you hire someone else , a total stranger , to go looking for her ? I think we both know the answer to that question . Finding your daughter would be the most important thing to you . Now , I m a mother , too , and I am trained to take that risk . It s what a mother does for her child .
Bo : Billie , we understand that . But this is not a risk you should take on your own , or with Lockhart .
Hope : Or in such a hurry . We have no reason to believe that Georgia is in danger . Billie , take some time , do some more research , involve the I.S.A. Approach this like you re on a mission for the agency rather than racing off blindly again .
Bo : Come on , just let me get better . I ve got some family issues to take care of , and we can talk to the I.S.A. , Get backup , form a plan , and you and I can do this together .
Hope : And with that , I would have absolutely no problem whatsoever , as long as you have hard evidence and a well - thought - out safe plan of action with all the logistical support you need .
Bo : Billie , listen , we re not giving up on trying to find our daughter . We ll find her . I swear to you .
Billie : Thanks . Yeah , you guys have given me a lot to think about . I d better go .
Hope : I hope you can enjoy the wedding .
Billie : Yeah , I will . Absolutely . Looking forward to it . See ya soon .
Hope : Thank you .
Bo : What ?
Hope : For backing me up , thank you .
Bo : Hey , what you said made sense . I hope Billie can see that , too .
Hope : What else can she do at this point ? I m so glad that plane has been grounded for tonight .
Bo : Yeah .
Hope : All right , you , back to bed . Let s go .
Bo : Ooh , yeah , that s a good idea .
Hope : Wait a second .
Bo : What ?
Hope : You re supposed to be getting rest so you can get stronger .
Bo : Oh , I already feel kinda strong ... and better .
Hope : Are you sure about this ?
Bo : Mm - hmm .
Billie : Forget about what I said earlier . Fuel the plane . I m leaving tonight .
Kate : Philip , you have to go into the church because Belle s coming out . And you do nt wanna tempt fate on your wedding day .
Philip : All right , mom , do nt worry . As long as Belle is here , nothing can ruin this day .
Kate : [ Thinking ] And nothing will ... as long as I make sure Shawn Brady does nt get anywhere near this church .
Philip : Belle , I love you , sweetheart . I ll see you at the altar .
John : Yeah , it s about that time . Uh , Kate and I will wait for you on the vestibule . I m sure that you and Mimi have some last minute touch - ups to do . Give me a hug .
Mimi : No crying , remember ?
John : I d better get outta here , then . I love you , Isabella .
Belle : I love you , too , dad .
John : [ Groans ]
Belle : Are you happy , Mimi ? Shawn did nt call . I left messages at his loft and on his cell , and I m sure he s gotten them by now . I think that tells me everything I need to know .
Mimi : He could still call . He could be on his way . You ca nt give up .
Belle : I am so incredibly tired of this . It is over . Shawn is gone , and I need to get excited about my wedding day because today I begin the rest of my life with Philip .
Jan : Just erasing some old messages .
Shawn - D : Oh , wait a minute . I thought I heard Belle s voice . Did she call ?
Belle s voice : Shawn , it s Belle . Look , I m at the church and I really wanna see you . We need to talk . Please call .
Shawn - D : What could she want ? Why did nt you tell me she called ?
Jan : Because it does nt matter because she s marrying Philip . You need to forget about --
Shawn - D : I ca nt do that , okay ? I have to find out what she wants , what she has to say .
John : It s Shawn , is nt it ? You having second thoughts about this wedding , Izzy ?
Shawn - D : Why d you do it ?
Jan : Do what ?
Shawn - D : Try and delete Belle s message . What the hell are you up to ?
Hope : You really care about Billie , do nt you ?
Billie : Okay , Georgia , Mama s coming . And this time , I m gon na be prepared .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Meredith : Okay .
Victor : I believe it s just a bruise , you know .
Meredith : That is a very deep bruise . And you should ve come in last night when it happened instead of sitting and stewing and pretending that your son did nt drive you over the edge .
Victor : Mm , well ... my son is non - issue .
Meredith : So what about all that talk about forgiveness ? Or was that just something you said to get me to help you ?
Victor : I meant what I said . I ve forgiven many people in my life . But my family s not returning the favor . In fact ... my son just told me that he would like to see me rot in here .
Meredith : Oh , but those are just words .
Victor : No , no . He was gloating . I think my family s dancing on my grave .
Billy : The new fragrance , targeted at the millennials .
Ashley : And you want my help ?
Billy : [ Chuckles ] Well , you re not at jabot anymore , so you re not competition , so you can help your brother out . And let s be honest -- I have a nose for good cigars and single - malt scotch , but this stuff , not so much .
Ashley : Ha . Or maybe that s all part of Victor s diabolical plan . Makes it possible for you to snap up Victoria s beloved brand , but then you are forever tortured . Oh , my God . The horror of having to choose between bergamot and amber .
Billy : Well , I would nt put it past him , everything he s done to ruin my life . Would nt be surprised if he s behind this ridiculous visitation agreement Victoria gave me .
Ashley : Did you sign the agreement ?
Billy : [ Sighs ]
Ashley : You do nt get to moan about it . Besides , you get to raise your kids , run a blue - chip company , and live in the chancellor mansion . Does nt seem like you re suffering all that much .
Billy : What if I am ? What if this is exactly what Victoria wants ? Me , pining over her forever . I m not gon na do that . I want a life . I want to ... feel alive , maybe even care about somebody else someday .
Ashley : Someday or right now ? Is there a new woman in your life ?
Jack : Let s try to get another meeting on the books . We ll include Neil and Hilary in this when they get here . We can also invite Eleanor Roosevelt and the dalai lama .
Phyllis : Hmm ? What ?
Jack : Wow . Where were you just now ? Tell me it was Istanbul . I d like to take a little mental vacation myself .
Phyllis : No , right here , with you . Exactly where I want to be . I do nt need a vacation or a daydream . I just need you .
Abby : [ Chuckles ] That duck did nt like you at all .
Stitch : Yeah , that s called a love peck . It s called duck affection .
Abby : Well , I think she was more interested in your ankles than she was the bread .
Stitch : Yeah , that s cause they re sexy . Check it out -- whoa ! Resistance is futile ! Mmm !
Abby : They are pretty sexy . I missed you . I ve missed -- I ve missed this . I ve missed laughing .
Stitch : Yeah . Not much to laugh about for a long time now . And I m sorry .
Abby : It s not your fault .
Stitch : Yeah , it is . I pushed you away when you needed me . After the miscarriage , I was missing in action .
Abby : Max needed you .
Stitch : I will never abandon you again . You re it , Abby . You , us , this marriage . Everything else comes after that .
Abby : But , Ben , I do nt need all of you . You were a father before I even met you . And we can walk through the park , we can feed the ducks , but I know you re wondering how max is doing in therapy . And so am I. So why do nt you call ? Why do nt you check on him ?
Stitch : Hey , hey . This is my time with you . Now let s get back to making those ducks jealous , all right ? Whoa , hey ! Heads up .
Abby : I know .
Stitch : You know what ?
Abby : I know what you re thinking even if you wo nt say it . The park , the kids , the soccer ball ... max should be here playing . He should be here with you .
Cane : There s Charlie . Passes the ball to Mattie for the goal . And look -- Ashby twins for the win .
Lily : Aww .
Cane : Yeah .
Lily : Oh , we re so lucky . Twins are happy and healthy , and when I think of stitch s son ...
Cane : Yeah , I know , it was horrible what happened to him and his dad .
Hilary : I take it you guys are talking about max . Yeah , everyone at the lab , they doted on him . I hope he finally gets the help he needs .
Lily : [ Chuckles ] She s all heart , is nt she ?
Cane : Yeah .
Hilary : I think jack s probably waiting for us . Excuse us .
Cane : You know , I am proud of you .
Lily : Why , cause I kept my control ? Did I tell you how much I hate her ?
Cane : Uh , maybe about a thousand times last night , but I was nt really counting .
Lily : I just -- the fact that person can put my father and my brother in jail makes me want to scream . I know my dad goes along with her insanity , but should nt jack know better ? How can someone with that much experience not see what a snake she is ?
Cane : You do know you can take away her power with one word to the police . But that would expose Neil and Devon , and that s not a decision you re prepared to make . Unless you want to change your mind and take Hilary down .
Stitch : Yo ! Heads up !
Abby : Go see max today . It s okay .
Stitch : Look ... it s okay . The psychologist says max has -- you know , he s -- he s scheduled for therapy and activities all day today , so ... where should we go for lunch ? All right ?
Abby : Parents are welcome . It ll be good for you . It ll be good for both of you . You ve been apart too long as it is now .
Stitch : We were apart for too long . And you and I have plans , and I owe you a good day , Abby .
Abby : That s -- that s not how marriage works . Who owes what ?
Stitch : [ Scoffs ] You kidding me ? That s exactly how it works . I owed you trust and compassion and to just listen to what you said , not shut you down . When I think about what you ve had to handle on your own these last few weeks --
Abby : Do you love me ?
Stitch : [ Scoffs ] So damn much .
Abby : Then that s it . That s all I need .
Stitch : I made you doubt it and left you all alone .
Abby : And you re back . You re back , and I know that you are not going anywhere , so that s why I say , with complete confidence , go see max . He needs you . You need him . And you have just given me everything that I need .
Stitch : Oh , baby . [ Chuckles ] You re the best thing that ever happened to me . You know that ? I love you .
Meredith : Just let me finish this . And then you can go back to thinking about retaliation all you want .
Victor : Yeah , well ... focus on what my son said about me dying in here alone .
Meredith : Is that why you punched him ?
Victor : I did nt punch him . No , I just -- being in here ... and having him ... spew the hatred he did , I guess it got to me . It was a mistake .
Meredith : Have you ever thought of forgiving him ?
Victor : That s pretty hard to do ... after your son just told you that he wants you to rot in here .
Meredith : Well , yes . But ... forgiveness , it makes you feel better . More at peace . As long as you do nt expect anything in return . There s always hope . For all of us . For all things .
Billy : The woman in my life is smart , sexy , independent . It s the kind of woman you ca nt help but notice , and when she walks by , you ca nt get her perfume out of your mind . She s a brash and sassy kind of girl . That s the woman in my life . Now I just need a few million of them .
Ashley : You are so ridiculous .
Billy : Hey , focused on my business .
Ashley : Right . There s no way you re gon na fill up your days and your nights with spreadsheets and fragrance samples . Are you kidding ? Raising kids and work are not enough for you , Billy -- I know that much about you -- at least not for long .
Billy : Okay . Let s say , hypothetically , of course , if I was to move on , what am I supposed to do ? Would I be a jerk for doing that ? Everybody wants me to just wait for Victoria forever ?
Ashley : She might come around .
Billy : Might ? That s no way to live a life . You know that .
Ashley : So , hypothetically ... if there were a woman in your life ... do you think she s gon na be able to help you forgive Victoria ?
Billy : [ Chuckles ]
Ashley : Is that a yes or a no ?
Jack : Good to see you both .
Hilary : Yeah , you too . And it s so nice to see you both together .
Phyllis : That s the second time you seemed so surprised that a husband and wife enjoy each other s company . That s usually how it works .
Hilary : Well , I know how it works . But you know how couples can be . Sometimes things get in the way -- scheduling , tension , things like that .
Neil : Uh , excuse me for a minute . Can I -- can I just talk to you ? Yeah . Jack , we have so much to talk about .
Neil : What are you doing ? What are you trying to pull here ?
Hilary : Nothing for you to worry about .
Neil : Jack and Phyllis are my friends . They have been through enough .
Hilary : Well , jack has been my friend for a long time , as well . And , you know , it s strange , because he has no idea how much we have in common now , since we ve both been held captive . But , you know , maybe I could tell him . Maybe I could tell everyone . And then you ca nt ask me what I m up to , because then you would be in prison . But at least you ll be there with your son .
Phyllis : Honestly , saying anything personal to that woman ... I thought that we agreed , whatever happens in this marriage stays in this marriage .
Jack : Hilary means well .
Phyllis : She is a human wrecking ball . She bulldozed her way into Ashley s company , she bulldozed her way into this foundation . Devon was the love of her life , and now she treats him like a wallet with legs .
Jack : She is complicated , yes . I m not arguing that . She s done thing that I think a lot of people would call unorthodox to get what she wants . That remind you of any other woman we know ?
Phyllis : Do not compare me to that woman .
Jack : I m just saying she fights for what she wants .
Phyllis : Yeah , which is to be supreme ruler of the universe .
Jack : She just wants to prove herself . No one has ever cut Hilary any breaks . She just had her sister - in - law throw a drink in her face .
Phyllis : Yeah , well , maybe lily had a point .
Jack : Hey . Where is all this hostility coming from ? Is this because she left Neil for Devon ? I mean , we ve certainly been around things like that .
Phyllis : Yeah , I know . But that kind of woman ? All this dislike because she committed the crime of caring about somebody other than her husband ? Wh - what did I say ?
Phyllis : I m just being emotional . These are tears of impotent rage .
Jack : Wait , wait . Rage ? About what ? Hilary ?
Phyllis : She should pay for her sins instead of acting like queen goddess who can control all things .
Jack : Hilary has paid , plenty . There has to be a statute of limitations on infidelity , do nt you think ?
Phyllis : Jack , this is none of my business . If Neil and you want to work with that woman , that s your call . But watch your back . That kind of woman will always want more . There s no such thing as enough .
Jack : Wh-- Phyllis ...
Lily : How long am I supposed to pretend that Hilary has nt done something truly despicable ?
Cane : Well , that is up to you . But whatever you decide , I want you to know I ll stand by you . Cause I wo nt let other people s issues get between us again . Okay ?
Billy : Holy garlic . Yeah , that ll keep the vampires away . [ Groans ] What do women want ? Not doing this .
Abby : Did you find a cure for Hilary yet ?
Ashley : [ Chuckles ] No , but I ll work on that one next . Are you feeling better ? You made a joke .
Abby : Oh . [ Chuckles ] I was nt joking . I m dead serious .
Ashley : Thought you were gon na take the day off and be with Ben ?
Abby : We had a very sweet morning . Ducks attacked his ankles .
Ashley : Okay . I guess that s sweet .
Abby : But Ben needs to be with max . If he was sick in the hospital , then he would be there around the clock . This ca nt be any different . Max needs doctors , but he needs his father , too .
Ashley : You re such a good wife , Abby . You re a great stepmom , too .
Abby : I wonder if Ben agrees . Now every time I try to bring up max ... I can tell he does nt want to talk about it . He just changes the subject .
Ashley : Well , can you imagine how he feels ? Probably wants to go back in time so he can see the signals before you get hurt , before everything went out of control .
Abby : Yeah , but we ca nt go back . It does nt change anything .
Ashley : I know , but it s human nature to want to rewrite history . Neville and I do . We were so proud of ourselves that max trusted us . We were nt listening to you , and I m sorry for that .
Abby : You two were max s only friends in town . Maybe you two stopped things from getting even worse .
Ashley : Wow . You re incredibly mature . You know that , right ? I guess that kind of happened overnight , did nt it .
Abby : Well , this is where we are now . And I want to help Ben through this . I just -- I do nt know if he ll let me .
Ashley : Have you told him what you want ?
Abby : Yes , but he does nt hear me .
Ashley : Well , just keep saying it , because he s gon na have to listen over time .
Abby : I know . Nick thinks that there s a curse on the Newmans , that we ca nt be happy , and maybe he s right .
Ashley : Please , there s no curse . Besides , you re half Abbott . You re gon na be happy . You will be happy . I promise you . You will be happy .
Meredith : This ca nt happen .
Victor : What ca nt happen ?
Meredith : We have to keep this professional . I m the doctor . You re the patient , prisoner . That s it . The lines must not be crossed .
Victor : I agree . I guess , for a moment , we were just people .
Meredith : Well , this environment can ... stir up emotions , but I m just here to make you well . That s all .
Victor : Oh . It feels good to talk to someone . My family has turned their back on me . When no one can see you for who you really are ... makes you feel kind of lonely .
Meredith : I see you . I see you , and ... and you re not alone .
Victor : You re beautiful .
Meredith : I m sorry . Uh ... that was my mistake .
Victor : Mm .
Meredith : I , uh -- I must have given you the wrong impression . I m sorry . Um ... but I need to be clear now .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Meredith : That ca nt happen again .
Victor : Okay .
Meredith : Yeah . We re done . You can take him back to his cell .
Stitch : Thanks .
Ashley : Hey , Ben .
Stitch : Ashley , what are you doing here ?
Ashley : Hi . I called for you at the therapy center . They said you left . How was your visit with max ?
Stitch : You know , he was willing to see me , so that s something .
Ashley : You really thought he would nt see you ?
Stitch : I do nt know . He s so angry and frightened . And , of course , he blames me for being where he is . You know , I m his father . I m supposed to protect him .
Ashley : That s what you re doing . That s what a good parent does .
Stitch : I let this happen . I should ve saved him from himself .
Ashley : Nobody saw this coming .
Stitch : Abby did .
Ashley : Do you resent her for that ?
Stitch : What ? No . God , no . No .
Ashley : Well , then , why are nt you letting her in ? You can lean on her , you know . She s not gon na break . Maybe talk to her about max once in a while . Maybe even take her to visit him .
Stitch : No . Never . Okay . As much as I m supposed to protect max , I m supposed to protect my wife , too . And I did nt . I failed her . Abby s suffered enough .
Ashley : She needs to know that she s part of your world and that she s part of your life . Life is too short for you to keep pushing her away . Why do nt you reach out to her ?
Stitch : I do nt know what to say to her .
Ashley : You re a real smart guy . I know you can figure it out .
Lily : Abby , hey . Why do nt you , uh , come into the dining room ?
Abby : The fire may have destroyed the surveillance footage , but it s like I have a tape inside my head . It s like I m watching myself , like I m watching it happen .
Lily : I wish there was something I could do , that we could ve done .
Abby : Uh , well , we just have to focus on now . Max is getting well . You know , he s -- he s just a kid .
Lily : I know , but it s okay to think about yourself , too . I mean , is there anything that you need ?
Abby : I do nt know if need is the right word . I just ... I miss those first days after the wedding . Anything seemed possible . I - I miss those days . I miss my husband .
Hilary : It s a weekend retreat where we can really focus on global strategy for the foundation , just away from the normal constraints of everyday life .
Jack : A chance for board members and staff to bond , to knock around ideas without distractions .
Neil : Is , uh , Devon invited , too , or is he another constraint , Hilary ?
Jack : Is there something I m not getting here ? I thought we all felt we could work together on this board .
Hilary : No , of course we can .
Jack : Neil , would you agree with that ?
Hilary : You know , Neil , he raised some concerns earlier , but I thought that I put him at ease . Was I wrong , Neil ?
Neil : No . It s not an issue , jack . Let s move on .
Jack : If you re sure .
Hilary : Yes , we are . Whatever issues we may have , they take a back seat to this mission . The foundation -- it is very near and dear to both of our hearts . And we just want to make sure you have everything you need , jack . Now , that is what matters .
Billy : I m not ...
Phyllis : You re not what ?
Billy : Stalking you , if that s what you re thinking . It s actually the exact opposite . I was just ... on my bike ...
Phyllis : Who was on the back this time ?
Billy : Nobody . Just me . Doing my best to try and forget about you , and yet here you are , sitting on a park bench . You know , some people would call that fate .
Phyllis : Billy ... please ...
Billy : Please , what , Phyllis ? You want me to go ? You want to stay ?
Phyllis : Get on your bike and leave me alone .
Billy : You know how crazy you made me feel at restless style back in the day ? Walking confidence and ego elbowing me in the head every time I turned around . You re still making me crazy . Take a ride with me .
Phyllis : Why are you still standing there ? Leave me alone . I am asking you -- I am begging you .
Billy : I ca nt . [ Clears throat ] Sorry . I ca nt .
Phyllis : What is wrong with you ? Somebody could see you here .
Billy : So , I m your brother - in - law . We re former business partners . Nobody needs to know that we re lovers .
Phyllis : Shut . Up .
Billy : Scarlet mist by jabot . Your perfume . It s in my clothes . It s in my house . I ca nt get it out of my mind . I ca nt pick a new perfume for my business because all I smell is you .
Phyllis : Okay , stop it . I do nt want to hear it . You need to shut up .
Billy : How often do you think about it ? What happened between us in my house the other day . Or should I say , when have nt you thought about it --
Phyllis : Are you deranged ?
Billy : That s not the word that I would use for what I am .
Phyllis : No , but you know what ? You are not a blushing virgin . It was sex . It was a mistake . It was a selfish , stupid , impulse . I am jack s wife , and you are jack s brother , and I m not going to destroy this family .
Billy : This is nt an accident , Phyllis . Finding you here like this , same time , same place . It s gon na happen . Over and over , again and again . Whether you admit you want it or not . Because this is real .
Jack : I think the retreat is an excellent idea . I m gon na run it by Ashley , though .
Hilary : Okay . I ll come with you . We can present it together .
Neil : Hey , uh , hold on a minute . There -- there s some P.R. Questions that I d like to ask , if you do nt mind .
Hilary : Oh , well , that can wait .
Jack : No , no , no . You stay here . I ll handle Ashley . You two keep your heads together . I want to foster cooperation . It s good for the foundation . It s good for your family .
Hilary : Thought I made myself clear -- we have nothing more to talk about . And , plus , jack needs me .
Neil : Jack does nt need a damn thing from you . You -- you have me right where you want me -- do nt you ? -- And you have Devon and his billions . And now you need to conquer something else , and that something else is my friend . My friend , jack Abbott . See , he deserves to know exactly the kind of person you are , that you are aiming for his head .
Hilary : Oh , and you re gon na tell him ? [ Chuckles ] Yeah , I do nt think so . I mean , not unless you want the cops knocking at your door .
Cane : All right , what was that about ?
Lily : One guess . Mr. Newman .
Victor : Yeah . Doc wants to see you .
Victor : Oh . All right .
Victor : I thought we were done .
Meredith : I wanted to go over the x - ray of your hand that I took .
Victor : Mm - hmm . I m sorry .
Meredith : You had no right . Like I said , I am the doctor , you are the patient . You are the prisoner .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Meredith : That s it . Why did you kiss me ?
Victor : Cause you re beautiful . You do nt have to treat me anymore .
Meredith : It s my job to treat you . I ca nt just walk away . And I ca nt do that because I ca nt stop thinking about you .
Lily : Sit .
Hilary : Excuse me ?
Lily : I said sit .
Hilary : Oh , someone s feeling feisty today . Oh , that s so cute .
Lily : You re disgusting . I know you know that already , but I just like saying it . And I saw my dad rush out of here . I assume it s cause you were torturing him again . But then again , being in the same room with you is torture . And I know that he can not stand watching you suck up to jack .
Hilary : Oh , poor cane . He almost got away from you . But I guess he s addicted to this self - righteous whining . Honestly , it gives me a headache .
Lily : You may be able to charm jack , and you can blackmail my dad , but there is nothing you can do to shut me down .
Hilary : Oh , really ? So does that mean you re gon na turn in daddy dearest ? [ Gasps ] Because this I have got to see .
Neil : Yeah , thanks .
Cane : So you re getting drunk , huh ?
Neil : In case you have forgotten , I am an alcoholic , and this is what alcoholic s do . No , this one s not gon na get me drunk , nor will the next one , but the next few after that might .
Cane : Okay . So , uh -- so what happens then ? You pass out ? Get locked up in the drunk tank or , what -- you end up facedown in a ditch ? How do you think lily and kids will feel about that ?
Neil : Ho ho . Listen to you . Lily and the kids , huh ? They re better off without me .
Cane : You know , if you want , you can play the self - pity card , you know , but you did get yourself in this situation , so you can always be a man and get yourself out of it . Yeah .
Neil : Shut up and drink ... or get out of here .
Jack : We could do brainstorming , team building -- make the staff feel valued and involved .
Ashley : I love it . You ve never suggested anything like that before for jabot , and I m very impressed .
Jack : Well , before you give me too much credit , it was Hilary s idea .
Ashley : Yeah , right . Well , what s in it for her ?
Jack : Why does everything think she has an ulterior motive ?
Ashley : Are you kidding me ? I thought I was gon na die within weeks , jack . She blackmailed me out of my job .
Jack : Yes , we agreed she overstepped . I thought we also agreed to move on .
Ashley : Well , just because I did nt take a hit out on her does nt mean I think she s a harmless naif .
Jack : No , she s not , and she does nt claim to be . Look , this town is full of people who have been given second chances . Hell , if this was Billy , people would be tripping over themselves to give him a second shot . Why not Hilary ?
Ashley : Well , maybe because Billy usually only ends up hurting himself .
Jack : Well , tell that to Victoria .
Ashley : Ugh . He knows very well where she stands . It s very sad , too , because you know how Billy gets when he loses Victoria . He becomes very reckless .
Jack : Yeah , the way he conducts business , the way he chases after women ...
Ashley : Mm . Or one woman . I got the feeling that maybe he s involved with somebody , maybe to try to get Victoria out of his system . God knows how this is gon na turn out .
Abby : Ben ? Are you here ?
Stitch : I did nt , uh ... I did nt have the words , so I thought I d just show you .
Abby : Show me what ?
Stitch : This .
Abby : What are you doing ?
Stitch : I m going back , Abby . Back before everything , before all of this , to the moment when I carried you over the threshold .
Abby : I ve been wanting ... but ... it s not possible .
Stitch : No , no , no . It s -- it s ... it s not . You know , we ca nt go back . We ca nt undo the last few months , but ... we can start again . Let me show you , Abby . Show you we can start over .
Victor : Just watching you ... listening to you ... the way you take care of me . But knowing that I ca nt have you because of this damn place ... it s very frustrating . That s the real prison .
Neil : What d I tell you ? Drink or leave .
Cane : Nah . I m gon na stay .
Neil : All right . Fine . I ll leave . All right , where are my keys ?
Cane : You know what ? My dad did nt teach me much , but he taught me how to lift a set of keys .
Neil : Okay . That s cool . I m -- I m gon na take a cab .
Cane : And a wallet .
Neil : You know , this coming from anyone else would be annoying , but coming from you , it s very comical .
Cane : I m glad you find it funny , cause if lily was watching this , I doubt she would be laughing .
Neil : Well , let me tell you something . It does nt really matter . I told you , lily s done with me .
Cane : Oh , okay . So I see how this works . You screw up , and she gets punished . She keeps your secret , and this is how you repay her . Got it .
Neil : Lily is concerned about her kid brother and making sure that he s not charged as an accessory . She really does nt care about me or protecting me .
Cane : That s what you think , really ? She loves you . She is on your side . But you know what ? That might change when she realizes who you are as a person . Have a good night , Neil .
Neil : Hey , give me another one .
Lily : I m gon na tell you a secret . I can take you down without exposing my father .
Hilary : Oh . You think so ?
Lily : You re a climber . You want money and power and status . But more than that , you want someone to gaze at you like you re an actual decent human being .
Hilary : Well , do nt worry . I have a husband for that .
Lily : [ Laughing ] Oh . No , you do nt , actually . Devon knows what you are now . Which is why you re gon na move on .
Hilary : Devon loves me , okay ? And I love him .
Lily : You do nt love him . You love his money . How long do you think Devon will keep you around when I tell him that you re making a play for jack Abbott ?
Jack : Wait . A new woman in Billy s life ?
Ashley : Mm - hmm . I could just sense it .
Jack : You know what ? It s probably Fiona . Fiona Henley is a buyer at Dillman s . Billy s been trying to seduce her into stocking brash & sassy ! And he failed once . He s always up to the challenge , particularly when that challenge involves a smart , beautiful woman .
Ashley : Nope . It s not business . I could just tell . You know , he worked so hard to deny that there was any woman at all . Just gave me the feeling that this woman means something to Billy . Something real .
Phyllis : It was sex . It was nt real . And it is over now .
Billy : So that s your story ?
Phyllis : It s because it s the truth , and I want you to go away . Fine . I ll go . You stay away from --
Billy : It s magnetic , Phyllis . It s electric , okay ? I ca nt leave the room when you re in it . I hear your voice when you re not there . I feel your skin , I smell your damn perfume . Jack does nt deserve you .
Phyllis : That is not your decision .
Billy : If you were my wife , I would nt let anyone --
Phyllis : Your wife ? What is your problem ?
Billy : I would hold on to you for dear life . You understand that ?
Phyllis : Do you hear yourself ? You are making this into a love affair , and it was just a few moments . It was nothing more than that .
Billy : Do nt lie to me . I play it over and over in my head , I think about us , I think about me and you , and I think we can do this , okay ? Me and you against the world . It does nt matter what anybody else thinks . Just say yes to me , and you would be everything to me . Do you understand ?
Phyllis : Stop it . Please stop it . Stop it .
Luca : I know what it s like to be dismissed , but it would be a mistake for you to do that with summer . She s our direct conduit to Victor .
Michael : Everything seems to be as you ve requested .
Summer : Grandma is filing for divorce .

### Dialogue:
John : Hey . What happened , bud ? Why are you here ? Why are you in the closet ?
Shane : I got weirded out when the phone rang and no one was there . I ve seen stuff like that in movies , and it s never good .
John : Yeah . Where s your mom ?
Shane : She left with a guy .
John : What guy ?
Rex : The truth this time , Gigi -- please . I need to know -- am I Shane s father ?
Gigi : What the hell are you doing , Balsom ? What ?
Rex : There was a laser from a rifle on you .
Gigi : A rifle ? Oh , my God -- Shane !
Rex : No , no , no , no , no , no !
Gigi : Shane !
Rex : Just stay here for one second !
Gigi : No , he s shooting at Shane !
Rex : What ? Who s after Shane ?
Gigi : Get out of my way , Rex !
Rex : No , no , no , no , no --
John : Shane , get down !
Gigi : He s shooting at my son !
John : You all right ?
Shane : Someone just shoot at me ?
Ramsey : Ah . Not this time .
Sarah : I mean , who would ve known that Philadelphia had an institute for contemporary art ?
Cristian : You hated every minute of it , did nt you ?
Sarah : I -- I did not .
Cristian : I was looking at you looking at those pieces and you hated it .
Sarah : Hate is a very strong word . I just did nt get some of it .
Cristian : Well , what s not to get ?
Sarah : Huh -- okay . For starters , you ve got a canvas with blue line and a black line on either end . How is that art ?
Cristian : Now , that was Trisha Donnelly and she s amazing . She not only draws and paints , but she s also into photography and video . She s sick , the girl .
Sarah : Okay , I ll admit I did like some of her photographs . I think you liked the one of her , huh ? She s kind of hot .
Cristian : Did nt notice .
Sarah : Yeah . So , you noticed the amazing blue and black lines but you did nt notice how beautiful the artist was ?
Cristian : I was distracted .
Sarah : Uh - huh .
Cristian : But not by her .
Sarah : Hmm . You know , I do nt know how you could be interested in somebody who s such a moron when it comes to art .
Cristian : Are you kidding ? You know how many different expressions you had at that other exhibit ?
Sarah : The puppets ?
Cristian : I counted about 63 .
Sarah : They were puppets .
Cristian : Works --
Sarah : You counted ?
Cristian : Yes , I did .
Sarah : Nerd .
Cristian : Shut up . They are works of art , just the same . And each one you looked at brought on a different emotion , did nt it ?
Sarah : I guess so , yeah .
Cristian : That s the goal of art -- to elicit emotion . Check this out . See , this one here -- this one makes me smile . Now , this one -- I do nt know why , but I -- it makes me sad . Now -- now , this one , this one s really special . What does that make you feel ?
Sarah : Like I want to be kissed ?
Cristian : Oh , I knew that was a good buy .
Allison : Oh , ho ! Is nt it nice in here ? This is like one of those caves where it s like 65 degrees all year round . Did you hear it ?
Jessica : What ?
Allison : Victor Lord s heart could still be beating .
Natalie : Knock it off , Allison .
Allison : It s possible . Your grandfather was a resilient old codger .
Jessica : And he s dead .
Natalie : Okay , Allison . This is the way it s going to be -- you re going to tell the secret or we re going to drag your butt back to the loony bin .
Allison : You know , you have always been a very coarse young lady , Natalie . For some reason , people think that their secrets die with them if they remain unspoken .
Allison : But it s simply not true .
Jessica : Tell me what you know about my family , Allison -- now !
Michael : Hi , sweetheart .
Marcie : Past visiting hours .
Michael : Bo said it was okay .
Marcie : Thanks .
Bo : We re going to let Dr. McBain spend some time in the cell with his wife .
Guard : Yes , Sir .
Michael : Thanks .
Bo : Thank you . I know you two must have a lot to talk about before her arraignment . I ll --
Bo : Hold on a second -- I got to take this . I will tell the guard to come back in about an hour , okay ?
Michael : That s great , Bo , thank you .
Bo : Sure . Yeah ?
John : Stay down , stay down .
John : Come on , let s get out of here . Let s go . Hey , here we go .
Shane : That was close , was nt it ?
John : Yeah . Yeah , that was close . Listen to me -- you re going to be all right , I promise .
Shane : Okay . But -- but why is someone shooting at me ?
Gigi : Shane !
John : Hey , come here , come here . Stay down .
Gigi : Oh , baby ! Baby , are you all right ?
Shane : I m fine .
Gigi : Oh , my God . I -- I was so scared . I m so sorry I left you .
Rex : John , what --
John : Balsom , get down ! Get over here !
Rex : What happened ?
Shane : Someone shot at me .
John : All right , listen to me . Listen , I need to get you both into the bathroom , all right ? Stay away from the windows -- stay down , all right ?
Rex : John , you want to tell me what the hell is going on ?
John : For once in your life , just shut up and listen to me , all right ? Stay in there with them , all right ? Stay away from the windows -- you got it ?
Rex : I ll take care of them .
John : Good .
Rex : John , look , we -- we were -- we were on the roof , there -- there was a laser . Somebody s got a high - powered rifle in the building across from the square . Looked like it was one floor up from here .
Rex : Just stay there , stay quiet . Gigi , you want to tell me what s going on here ?
Gigi : He wants Shane and me dead .
Rex : Who ?
Ramsey : Need a hand , boss ?
Shane : I m okay , Mom . The bullet hit the slot machine .
Gigi : Oh , sweetie , if anything had happened to you --
Shane : Nothing happened , all right ?
Gigi : Oh --
Rex : What s wrong ?
Gigi : Oh , God , he needs his inhaler . Here , honey , sit down . Sit down , baby . It s going to be okay .
Shane : Yeah .
Gigi : Okay , just nice and easy . That s it .
Rex : Look -- look , I know you re scared , Gigi . I am , too , but I need to -- who were you talking about ? Who wants you and Shane dead ?
Gigi : That federal agent .
Rex : Why ? My God -- who would want to kill the two of you ?
Shane : He s been after us ever since he and some other guy held us at gunpoint .
Gigi : Shane , that s enough . That s enough , baby .
Rex : Some other guy ?
Gigi : Todd Manning .
John : Manning !
Ramsey : John ! About time you got here -- Todd Manning was about to shoot a woman and a child .
Allison : Cool it , sister . You might upset Grandpa Victor . Poor guy would have a stroke if he saw his granddaughters in those getups .
Jessica : Do you know what we risked getting you out of St. Ann s ?
Allison : Not a blessed thing . People get away with murder in this town . You think your Uncle Bo is going to come down on you because of a little asylum break ?
Natalie : Why are we here , Allison ?
Allison : To relive old times . You know , I had a lot of time between basket weaving and Latin classes to think about the irony of our lives .
Natalie : We re not interested .
Allison : Oh , but do nt you find it thought - provoking that your mother has my beloved Ben s heart beating in her chest while your decaying grandpa here tried to cut Jessica s heart out to keep him alive ?
Jessica : What s there to think about ? My grandfather was a monster .
Allison : Oh , it s so simplistic , dear . You see , you thought the same thing about your dear old dad and he tried to save your life by switching you for sister sister here so Victor would cut her heart out instead but you never worked as a blonde , Nattie .
Natalie : Enough of this stroll down memory lane .
Allison : You know , Mitch really got off on switching you two . He was such a cad , and very sexy .
Jessica : Okay , Allison , enough s enough . Now , we did what we said we were going to do -- now , it s your turn to live up to your side of the bargain !
Allison : You think a little arm - twisting is going to get you what you want ? I ve been living with those nuns for the past three years . I can take it .
Natalie : Fine . You re going to tell us this secret or we are taking you back to St. Ann s and we are dragging you out of here . So , which way is it going to be ? You going to take the easy way or are we dragging you out of here by your hair ?
Jessica : No , no , Natalie -- no .
Natalie : Jess , come on . This is not the time for the -- drop the good- nun / bad - nun routine , okay ? The woman s conning you and believe me , she is good at it . She has no information on Mitch and the sooner you accept it , the better .
Jessica : Easy for you to say , Natalie -- that psycho was nt your father . And if she has any information regarding me or my family , I need to know what it is so thanks for your help but I can take it from here .
Natalie : Jess , but --
Allison : Psst ! I m not going anywhere if that s what you two were whispering about . I m happy right here -- so many wonderful memories ! Hmm .
Sarah : Now , that is what I call a work of art -- and worth a heck of a lot more than black line with two blue lines on either end -- or was it the other way around ?
Cristian : I m glad you liked the kiss , but we re going to have to get beyond this impasse .
Sarah : Oh , no . We have an impasse ?
Cristian : If you look at a work of art and only see it in terms of how much it s worth -- in dollars and cents , I mean .
Sarah : I was merely talking about the blue and black lines . I liked some of the other stuff , really .
Cristian : Let s try this -- what do you think of Philip Glass ?
Sarah : Well , he s not an artist . He s a composer .
Cristian : So when you listen to his music -- or Beethoven or Maroon 5 or Timbaland -- do nt they all make you feel something different ?
Sarah : Well , of course they do , but that s music .
Cristian : Okay , and when you listen to a song you love or write a song that comes from your heart , how does that make you feel ?
Sarah : Music makes me feel -- I m aware that my heart s beating . From my soul , I guess . I just feel totally and completely alive .
Cristian : Exactly . And that s what painting is for me . That s why I took you to see the masters first -- before the contemporary stuff . It s like going from Beethoven to Philip Glass to Timbaland . Of course , you thought Monet s Water Lilies was something a 5-year - old could do with finger paints .
Sarah : I did not say that -- not in those exact words . You know I love to get under your skin , right ?
Cristian : I m catching on to that , yeah .
Sarah : And I also love how passionate you are about what you do . And I -- I -- I do nt want to diminish that in any way . So you know what I said about my heart pounding when I hear an amazing song ?
Cristian : Yeah ?
Sarah : I m hearing one right now .
Michael : Is everyone treating you okay ?
Marcie : Oh , yeah . Yeah , sure . I mean , nobody bothers me anyway and , well , Bo -- he s been so good to me but I ca nt really bring myself to look him in the eye .
Michael : Marcie , you really need to start trying to forgive yourself .
Marcie : I keep going over everything in my head , you know ? And it -- the thing is it s -- it s almost as if it happened to somebody else , Mike , and I do nt know -- I mean , how could I have done all of that , Mike ? No --
Michael : We need to talk about tomorrow , Marcie -- your arraignment and how you re going to plead .
Marcie : Guilty . I m going to plead guilty .
Michael : But -- ahem .
Marcie : I know the charges against me , Michael . I kidnapped Tommy , I took him across state lines , I held Viki Davidson at gunpoint .
Michael : Marcie , I really think that you --
Marcie : Michael , listen to me -- there is no way out of this , and it s time . It s time for us to accept it . Michael , I m going to be in prison for a really , really long time and I need you to know that I do nt expect you to wait for me .
Michael : Do nt even start with that .
Marcie : No ! No , Mike , I mean it because I m going to be in prison for the rest of my life !
Michael : Look , stop ! Marcie , stop saying that , please . Hey -- God , see ? I -- I knew that this is what you were thinking -- it s why I came down here tonight . I want you to change your mind .
Marcie : There s nothing to change my mind . Michael , I committed a crime , I am guilty .
Michael : Tomorrow , I want you to tell the judge you re not .
Gigi : Are you feeling better ?
Rex : All right , is that why you were hiding here with -- with John ? Because Todd and this F.B.I. guy were threatening you ?
Gigi : From what just happened , I d say it s a lot more than a threat . If they had hurt you , Shane , baby -- oh , I would track them down .
Shane : It s -- I m okay , Mom .
Rex : I -- look , I do nt know this F.B.I. guy , but I do know Todd . He s -- he s a total jerk , but I just do nt think that -- that he would do this . I ve seen him with his wife and his kids . I do nt think that he would come after the two of you .
Gigi : Well , you were nt there , were you ? This whole thing is your fault .
John : Put the gun down , Manning .
Todd : John , this guy s a lunatic . He was up here trying to assassinate somebody and I stopped him .
Ramsey : No , other way around .
John : Give me the --
Todd : Stay down !
John : Give me the rifle .
Todd : Stay down !
John : Todd ?
Ramsey : Where s your gun , John ? Oh , wait -- you re not a cop anymore . You do nt actually ever have any actual authority , do you ? Too bad you did nt think to call a real cop .
John : Yeah --
Bo : Freeze , everybody , freeze ! Do nt move , Manning ! Slow , slow . Harrison , get the gun ! Get your hands in the air , Ramsey .
Ramsey : Hey , I m trying to --
Bo : Up , keep them up .
Ramsey : Stop a shooting , Bo .
Natalie : All right , Jess , this has gone way too far . We ve done something very stupid and we just need to cut our losses and end this . We need to get her back to St. Ann s .
Jessica : Not yet .
Natalie : Jess , she has been jerking us around , all right ? This woman has no information about Mitch . This is just some sort of sadistic game .
Jessica : Just let me handle it , okay ? Allison ? If you do nt tell me what you know right now , the deal is off .
Allison : Oh , what deal is that ? You mean the one where you give me five grand and a car if I tell you what I know so I can go free ? Oops ! That s right -- we do nt have that deal because the minute I tell you what I know , you re going to cart me back to nun central so why do nt you just explain to me why it behooves me to tell you anything ?
Sarah : Oh , my God -- Layla !
Cristian : Hey , Layla .
Layla : Hi . The sock ?
Cristian : What sock ?
Layla : Sarah , you forgot to hang the sock on the door .
Sarah : Oh .
Marcie : Mike ? How can I plead not guilty ?
Michael : This is not just what I want , Marcie . I ve talked to Judy Schulman- Brown and she has agreed to represent us . She understands all the circumstances of the case and she cares about us . She s even agreed not to charge us her usual rate because she wants to do this .
Marcie : Michael , everyone in this country knows what I did . I was on national television holding a gun in my hand !
Michael : You re not being charged with that .
Marcie : Everybody saw it ! Why would they believe anything I said in a court of law ?
Michael : If you plead guilty , it s over .
Marcie : Mike ? When you convinced me to turn myself in , that was the first time in months that I realized that I put Tommy in danger . I did , so I took responsibility for my actions , Michael , and that is what I have to do now . I have to do it because I committed a crime , so I deserve to be punished .
Michael : You have been punished , Marcie -- we both have . We lost our son . Is nt that enough ? Do we have to lose each other , too ?
Todd : I stopped him from killing a woman and her child . Now , the gun went off when we were fighting over it .
John : The bullet went through my window .
Todd : Hey , was anyone hurt ?
John : Luckily , no .
Ramsey : Who was holding the gun when you came in ?
Todd : He let it go when he heard you guys .
Bo : All right , now , Manning , you just happened to be here ?
Todd : No , no , no -- he threatened my family .
Ramsey : Oh , your family lives in that seedy hotel ?
Todd : Bo , I came here to stop him from hurting someone and I did . You know what he s capable of ? I mean , look at that gun over there . Where am I going to get something like that ?
Bo : I know that we re all going to go downtown to the department and we re going to sort this out .
Todd : Ah , jeez .
Bo : Down there -- cuff them .
Rex : This thing is my fault ? What s that supposed to mean ?
Gigi : It -- I just meant that -- if it had nt have been for you , I never would ve left Shane down here alone .
Shane : It s okay , Mom -- John helped me . The bullet did nt get anywhere near me . It s stuck in the slot machine .
Rex : Okay , were you going to testify against this F.B.I. guy and Todd ?
Gigi : If it comes down to that , yeah .
Shane : Can I ask you a question , Mom ?
Gigi : Sure , sure .
Shane : About him . Who is he anyway ?
Rex : Go ahead and tell him .
Gigi : I told you , honey , Rex is an old friend of mine .
Shane : I know . You said that , but --
Gigi : But what ?
Shane : But Moe was your friend , and you did nt act the same way around him .
Gigi : Moe was my boss . Rex and I go back a long way so we know things about each other .
Rex : Shane , I ca nt believe how brave you were through all this . I would never have been this brave when I was your age .
Shane : Really ?
Rex : You must get that from your father .
Shane : Maybe .
Rex : I can tell you if he were here with us right now , he would -- he would be just as proud of you as your mom is .
Shane : I never met him , but I hope he would be really proud .
Ramsey : Bo , I have a clean record . This guy s got a rap sheet a mile long , plus he s holding the smoking gun , so who is the guilty party here ?
Todd : Why do nt you tell him about the shooting lesson at the penthouse earlier ?
Ramsey : Oh , I m sure the commissioner has heard his share of your accusations .
John : Is this the gun you used to knock me out earlier at Manning s apartment ?
Ramsey : I do nt know . What are you talking about ?
Bo : Well , if he hit you with that , I m sure your blood s on the stock .
John : No question .
Ramsey : And Todd Manning s fingerprints . His penthouse , his gun , hmm ?
Todd : You know that son of a bitch is lying , do nt you ?
Bo : I know .
Ramsey : Huh ?
Bo : Yeah -- shh . Take them both down , put them in holding .
Ramsey : Oh , ho , ho !
Todd : Bo , I did nt try to shoot anyone .
Bo : I think that Ramsey must have given you more than just a little tap on the head . You got dried blood all over your collar .
John : Hmm .
Bo : You want me to take you down to the E.R. , get you checked out ?
John : No .
Bo : Ah . That s what I thought .
John : Thanks , Bo .
John : That was close .
Michael : Marcie , you can control what happens . It s in your hands .
Marcie : That s what I thought , Mike , when I took Tommy and I ran . But -- I ca nt change the fact that Tommy is Todd s son . And when I tried to change fate , Mike , the only thing I managed to do was wind up here -- on my way to prison !
Michael : Well , it does nt have to be this way .
Marcie : Michael , my denying the truth is not going to change anything !
Michael : It s not about denying the truth , okay ? There will be 12 people on that jury who will hear your story . They will see you , they will listen to you , and they will understand how much you loved our son .
Marcie : We do nt want to spend Thanksgiving Day alone , do we ? No . So what do you say if Sally Ann and Billy -- we go across the street to the Bon - Jour Cafe ? And we have ourselves a little date ! Yes , would you like that ? I promise you that we will go out and we will do something soon together , okay ? You know , you ve been such a really good boy through all of this , you do , right ? And I know that it s been hard . I realize that . What ? What do you want ? Want your binky ? Get the binky . There you go . But you know something ? I m doing this for you , right ? You know that . Because I love you and I never want to lose you .
Marcie : Michael --
Michael : Marcie , you told me once that without Tommy , you feel like you have nothing . Do you still feel that way ?
Jessica : Allison -- Allison , do you know why you should tell me what you know about my father ? Because deep down , you know it s the right thing to do .
Allison : Ha ! That s rich . Are you sure this one is related to you , Nattie ?
Natalie : You know , Allison , not everyone is as jaded and cruel as you .
Allison : Ah , but now we ve got Jessica being all needy and compassionate when she s the one who s got Mitch s genes . And you , hard as nails , meaner than a junkyard dog -- I guess that s the Buchanan side . You know , twins with different fathers -- I ve always found that terribly distasteful .
Jessica : Allison , if my family s in any kind of danger at all because of this secret , I need to know what it is , okay ? I have a right to know what it is .
Allison : Well , you just may not know because I may tell you tomorrow or the day after because I really like it here in this crypt . In fact , I think I could live here forever .
Jessica : That could be arranged .
Allison : What ?
Jessica : After what you ve done to my family , this is where you belong .
Allison : Oh .
Layla : I m really sorry for , you know , walking in like that .
Sarah : No -- no , do nt -- do nt be sorry . Cristian and I were talking about modern art .
Layla : Sure , modern art , huh ? Hmm , great topic .
Sarah : Yeah . Cristian is very -- passionate about it .
Layla : Oh , I m sure he is . Passion is good . Okay , and now I m going to go . Bye .
Sarah : Well -- well , go -- wait , no . Go where ? Wait -- hey , this is your -- this is your place .
Layla : Well , that is true . But actually -- um -- I need to go to Capricorn to meet somebody .
Cristian : No , Layla , you re not going anywhere . I m leaving .
Layla : No , no , no . Okay . Well , the least I can do is leave you two in private to say good night . And I ll be in my room , headphones on . Take your time . Bye .
Sarah : Thank you , Layla !
Cristian : Wow .
Sarah : Oh , roommates -- not that Layla is nt awesome . But she just has -- excellent timing . I m really sorry .
Cristian : Hey , it comes with the territory . I remember when you and I were roommates I was always worried you were going to walk in on me and one of my really hot dates .
Sarah : Oh , yeah ? I guess it s a good thing I did nt , huh , Vega ?
Cristian : Mm - hmm . Strange , huh all that time living together .
Sarah : Yeah . What a waste . We never took advantage of it .
Cristian : Oh , we were nt ready then -- at least I was nt .
Sarah : And now ?
Cristian : Now --
Cristian : Does that answer your question ?
Sarah : Tell me again .
Allison : I do nt like that look on your face , Jessica .
Jessica : How do you know it s Jessica ?
Allison : Tess ?
Jessica : You know , Allison , when someone gets integrated , the personality stays inside of them . So if Jessica has to do something she finds a little repugnant , she can always call on Tess .
Allison : Oh . And what s she going to do ? Beat the secret out of me ?
Jessica : No , Allison , I could nt hurt you . I think I m just going to let you stay here -- with my grandfather -- and let you sleep on it .
Allison : Jessica , do nt lock me in ! No ! Jessica !
John : Balsom ?
Shane : Someone s here .
Rex : It s John . It s okay .
John : Hey , you can come out now . It s safe . You all right ?
Gigi : Was it that F.B.I. creep ?
John : Yeah , it was . He was with Manning .
Rex : Wait , wait -- was Manning there when he tried to shoot Shane ?
John : Manning said he was trying to stop him , and for once , I believe him . They re both in custody .
Gigi : Thank God .
John : Hey , listen , no one s going to hurt you and your mom , all right ? I m sorry you were scared .
Shane : My mom was more scared than I was .
Gigi : Oh . Yeah , that s probably right , but I m good as new , you know ? Now that you re okay .
Rex : Okay , so Manning s in jail ?
John : Yeah . And this time , he s going to have to help Marcie . He s not going to have a choice .
Marcie : Michael , look , I -- I --
Todd : All right --
Marcie : I do nt know what --
Todd : There s really no need to shove . I ve been here before .
Todd : Oh
Sarah : You know , I never thought I would say this , but all that waiting , as frustrating as it was , was kind of -- I ca nt think of the word .
Cristian : Hot ?
Sarah : Yeah , definitely .
Cristian : So when do I get to see you again ?
Sarah : I have two tickets to the Valentine s Day Go Red ball . My family s kind of big on the committee .
Cristian : Are you asking me to go ?
Sarah : Uh -- would nt want the ticket to go to waste .
Cristian : So I get to see you in a fancy dress ?
Sarah : A red one . It s required .
Cristian : Any requirements for me ?
Sarah : A tux ?
Cristian : I think I can find a tux somewhere -- as long as I get to see a beautiful girl in a red dress . Then we ll do a little dancing maybe and -- I do nt know -- after the dancing , who knows ?
Sarah : Yeah . I think you should probably go before we embarrass Layla twice in one night .
Cristian : Valentine s day .
Sarah : Me , red dress , you , tuxedo .
Cristian : It s a date .

Natalie : Yeah , I got that . What s the point ?
Jessica : The point is , she s going to spend the night sleeping with a whole bunch of corpses . When we get back here at dawn , she is going to be dying to tell us that secret .
Natalie : Okay , Jess , I -- I know Allison a whole lot better than you do , and she has had a whole lot worse done to her than being locked in a tomb . All she wants from you is to promise that she will not have to go back to St. Ann s , and she will tell you the secret . Are you willing to do that ?
Jessica : I do nt know . But the woman in that crypt holds the key to our family s future . And she s locked in there , and she s not going anywhere until I let her out .
Natalie : Je-- Jess ?
Allison : Huh ! Guess it s just you and me tonight , Vic . Too bad those nuns went on the run . I was going to show your precious granddaughters this .
Allison : Oh , Mitch -- you thought of everything .
Allison : Hello , gorgeous .
Cole : Langston , she is totally clueless .

### Dialogue:
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Celeste Headlee in Washington. Three events this week have each prompted investigations: explosions at the Boston Marathon; possible ricin-laced letters intercepted en route to President Obama and Senator Roger Wicker; and most recently an explosion at a fertilizer plant in Texas.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : In each investigation, authorities sift through the evidence, sometimes mountains of it, to determine what happened, how it happened and whether or not it was an act of terror. In a moment we'll speak with three experts about what they look for when they've investigated similar crimes, but first we'd like to hear from you.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : If you work in forensics, tell us about a time when a piece of evidence moved your investigation forward. The number is 800-989-8255. Our email address is talk@npr.org. You can also join the conversation from our website. Just go to npr.org and then click on TALK OF THE NATION.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Later on in the program, Khaled Beydoun on the conversation among Muslim and Arab-Americans after events like the Boston bombing. But first, the methods and procedures used in investigating crimes. Don Borelli is the chief operating officer of The Soufan Group and a 25-year veteran of the FBI. He joins us now from studios at Carnegie Hall in New York. Welcome back. Nice to talk to you again, Don.
DON BORELLI : Thank you, nice to be back.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : So we have three really serious incidents this week - the explosions in Boston and then the possible - and in Texas and then the possible biochemical threat through the letters. Which is the most complicated? What is the most difficult investigation?
DON BORELLI : Well, we have to kind of take things one at a time. I mean, each one is unique, each one has its own set of unique circumstances and challenges to work through. As I understand it, starting with the ricin letter, obviously when you're dealing with something that toxic, you have the challenge of handling evidence that can be very harmful, harmful to the general public, harmful to the people that investigate it.
DON BORELLI : So, you know, obviously there's very specific procedures and equipment that have to be used. So this is a challenge, along with the laboratory work that needs to be done to verify it. In this particular case, as I understand it, the individual responsible was not somebody brand new. He's somebody that was known to the law enforcement community as a letter writer, you know.
DON BORELLI : I can't comment on his exact state of his mental capacity or what his motives are, but certainly he was on the radar. So somebody that's known is obviously easier to investigate than when you get a cold start. With regard to the plant explosion, I think the default position is, as I watch the news conference, and it was confirmed today, that they don't know what caused that explosion.
DON BORELLI : But the default position is we'll start with it was it a criminal act. And then once that is ruled out, then they'll, you know, figure out if it was an accident or what caused the accident. The challenge there, of course, is that you have this massive crime scene, this massive explosion, and so the investigators are going to have to, number one, wait until it's safe to go in and then start sifting through all that rubble to figure out exactly, you know, what initiated the explosion.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : We actually have just learned that the U.S. Senate sergeant at arms says the material in the letter sent to Senator Roger Wicker has been verified as ricin. In other words, the secondary tests, not just preliminary. So let me bring in Paul Keim now. Paul Keim is the Cowden Endowed Chair of Microbiology at Northern Arizona University, my alma mater in the interest of disclosure.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : He's used forensic evidence to investigate bioterrorist attacks, including investigating strains of anthrax in 2001, and he joins us from member station KNAU in Flagstaff, Arizona. Paul, welcome to TALK OF THE NATION.
PAUL KEIM : Yes, thank you, and welcome back to Arizona, Celeste.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Thank you very much. Well, let's talk about what Don was just discussing, which is the complications in an investigation that come when you're handling a very dangerous material. How does that slow you down?
PAUL KEIM : Well, you know, there are traditional forensic methods, such as DNA analysis and latent print analysis, and those experts and our capabilities to carry out those very powerful forensic approaches are made more difficult when you have to deal with, say, a biological agent or something that might explode on you.
PAUL KEIM : And so in the past 10 years, the U.S. government, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, have gone to great lengths to try to create the ability to handle those in a common environment. In 2001, for example, when the anthrax letters were sent around, the FBI didn't have the capability to handle biological agents that were dangerous like this, and so it was difficult for them to do the latent print and DNA-type analysis that they were very expert at.
PAUL KEIM : Since then there have been facilities stood up by the U.S. government that can actually handle those things. So there's that one approach, where you try to find a facility where you can get the experts into a biosafety situation, for example, that can still do the standard forensic analysis, or you try to separate the evidence out early on and send it to the experts that can handle it.
PAUL KEIM : In the case of the anthrax letters, for example, very quickly live bacteria were pulled out of those letters and then were sent to my laboratory. I didn't have to worry about doing DNA fingerprint analysis - I'm sorry, doing latent print analysis on the letters. All I had to worry about was the bacterium, which we were very capable of handling.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : What about in a case like ricin? I mean, not everything has a specific fingerprint, chemical fingerprint, right? I remember all the discussion of anthrax and how you could trace it back to where it was made. But not every poison is that way.
PAUL KEIM : Well, in full disclosure, I'm actually a botanist as well as a microbiologist, and we spent a lot of time studying the genetics of castor bean. And we've done a study...
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Castor bean is what ricin is derived from.
PAUL KEIM : Yeah, excellent point, and let me take one step back. So ricin is a protein that's found in the seeds of castor bean. And so the castor bean is a very common ornamental plant around the United States and around the world. And so the plant that produces it, of course, has DNA. And typically these ricin preparations are rather crude, and they still - they aren't just pure protein. Rather, they have a lot of DNA in there too.
PAUL KEIM : So it is possible, actually, to do DNA analysis on the toxin preparations, and it's possible, if it's important enough, to go back and do a DNA analysis to help track it back. So these biologicals can be tracked by DNA fingerprinting.
PAUL KEIM : In this case obviously that wasn't necessary. It sounds like they were on top of this very quickly.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : That was Paul Keim, who is a Cowden Endowed Chair of Microbiology at Northern Arizona University, and Don Borelli is with us, a former FBI special agent. Let me bring one more voice into this discussion, Malcolm Brady, former assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives, and led the investigation after the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. Malcolm joins us now by phone from his home in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. Malcolm, nice to have you.
MALCOLM BRADY : Thank you very much for having me again.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : And Don spoke briefly a little bit about the difficulties when you have an explosion, and things get fragmented, things get blown sometimes to a very - a pretty wide distance. And that seems to be the case in both Boston and in Texas as well. I mean, when you are spending days sifting through evidence, how - what do you pick up and what do you leave on the ground?
MALCOLM BRADY : It's a very meticulous process, and as I've said before, you start from the out and work in. And if it's - in this case the Boston explosion, it's probably blown materials up to probably 100 yards away. So you're literally on your hands and knees looking through every piece of trash, every piece of material that's on the ground, and you work your way into the blast scene.
MALCOLM BRADY : So it's a very, very meticulous investigation, and it's kind of like putting a puzzle back together.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Don, first of all, let me put out the call to our listeners again. If you work in forensics, we want to hear about a time when a piece of evidence moved your investigation forward. You can call us at 800-989-8255. But Don, can there be - I mean people talk all the time about a smoking gun, and yet my understanding is that you rarely get that kind of thing. How rare is the evidence that really turns an investigation?
MALCOLM BRADY : Well, I don't think you have - you - I'm sorry.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Let me get Don first, Malcolm, and then I'll come to you. Go ahead, Don.
DON BORELLI : OK. You know, sure, you'd like to have that smoking gun in every investigation, but the reality of it is it's normally not any one thing that really turns an investigation. It's multiple things. It's a combination of some photographic evidence or some electronic surveillance coupled with some information obtained either from a confidential source or from the public, and then, you know, hopefully there's also - if you're lucky, you've collected some physical evidence, some fingerprints, some DNA.
DON BORELLI : So, you know, normally you just don't get that break where you get the one thing that's the - as you said, the smoking gun. It's not like "CSI" on TV. It's a lot of legwork. It's a lot of poring over many times even financial records and telephone records, and it can be very tedious, and there's a lot of analysis that needs to go into supporting the case that's ultimately going to be brought against the subjects of the crime.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : And Malcolm, you were saying?
MALCOLM BRADY : I would agree totally that all the investigations I've been involved with on explosives and arsons, it's a long-term process, and to be able to find that smoking gun is almost impossible because of the amount of destruction, the amount of materials that's involved in an explosive, particularly one of this nature, how big it is and the amount of people were there.
MALCOLM BRADY : So it's a long process, and the technicians that are going to be working on it at the lab and some of the other people at the Bomb Data Center, they're all going to be intrinsic(ph) on how this comes out and who works it out. One of the most important things may in fact be confidential informants.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Giving you inside information. And Don, real quickly, before we take a break, in this particular case, do you think that the eyewitnesses help you or hurt you, in the case of the Boston bombing, for example?
PAUL KEIM : Well, I think ultimately they're going to help. We saw yesterday and reported today about the kind of the media circus that ensued after the announcement that there was arrest, and then that was, you know, taken back, and now in the papers and on the Internet you're seeing all these, you know, images of people that are circled as possible, you know, suspects in the case.
PAUL KEIM : And quite frankly, that can be a distraction for the investigators that are working it. But at the end of the day, you know, there was a call to the general public. Early in the case there was a call out to the general public that if you have photographs, if you have video, please, you know, let us have those, let us review those.
PAUL KEIM : And so I think ultimately that's going to be helpful, but certainly kind of the events that unfolded yesterday were a distraction to the law enforcement, but hopefully just a short and minimal distraction.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : OK, gentlemen, please stay with us. And again, if you work in forensics, we want to hear from you. Tell us about a time when a critical piece of evidence moved your investigation forward. You can call 800-989-8255. You can also email us, talk@npr.org. More in just a minute. I'm Celeste Headlee. This is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : This is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. I'm Celeste Headlee. Last night a fertilizer plant in the town of West, Texas - that's West, comma, Texas, exploded, killing as many as 15 people and injuring more than 160 others. Still more are missing, and the search-and-rescue mission continues. The blast leveled a four-block radius around the plant. It took out dozens of homes. Right now police say there's no immediate indication that the explosion was anything other than an industrial accident, but it will be worked as a crime scene until that can be conclusively determined.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : So today we're talking about investigations like the one under way in West, the ones in Boston and then in Washington. If you work in forensics, do you remember a time when a piece of evidence moved your investigation forward? We want to hear your story, and the number is 800-989-8255. Or email us at talk@npr.org. Now on the line from Atlanta is Jim. Jim, you have a story about a piece of evidence that helped an investigation?
JIM : Yes, I had a homicide, and we had two shooters, each of which was claiming the other one fired the fatal shot and so forth. So we didn't know exactly who was responsible for the actual fatal shot. But the bullet, when it was recovered from the body, had hit a button, and I guess I would describe it as a metal button like you'd find on Levi's, and the button molded itself on to the bullet so that we could tie the fatal shot to the bullet, to the weapon, to the shooter, and that helped an awful lot.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : I mean, that's - I want to say that's lucky, though we're involving a shooting, so it wouldn't have been. Thank you so much. That's a call from Jim in Atlanta, Georgia. And let me take that to you, Don Borelli. How often do you get these kind of things where someone unintentionally, a perpetrator in this case, unintentionally identifies themselves?
DON BORELLI : Well, I guess when you were asking that question, the story that popped into my mind was in 2009, we of course were working the subway plot to - that Najibullah Zazi had tried to pull off in New York, where he was mixing - trying to make TATP, and then he was - he had a plot to bomb the subway. One of the items that we recovered when we did search warrants was a small little scale that he claimed was not his.
DON BORELLI : Ultimately it had his fingerprint on it, so, you know, that was very helpful to the investigation.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : That's Don Borelli, former FBI special agent. Also with us, microbiologist Paul Keim, and Malcolm Brady, former assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives, our guests talking about evidence right now. Paul Keim, a lot of people have been talking about how difficult it is to weaponize some - a poison like ricin. Why would someone use ricin? I mean I assume that someone would use ricin because it's easy - is it easy to make?
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : If it's so difficult to weaponize it, why use it?
PAUL KEIM : So as Don mentioned, ricin in its purified form is really one of the most toxic substances we know about. The reason why it gets - it's actually very commonly used for criminal activity, if you can believe it. This letter that occurred following on the Boston explosion is not that unusual. Law enforcement sees, you know, 10, 20 or 30 of these every year.
PAUL KEIM : They don't get the publicity because in this case we had the heightened awareness after the Boston Marathon bombing, but castor bean, obviously, is very easy to obtain. We all see it almost on a daily basis. What typically happens is people make a very crude preparation of this and put it in a letter, and as soon as they do that, or as soon as they start thinking about it, in fact, it's a federal crime.
PAUL KEIM : But on the other hand, this is not a particularly dangerous weapon in that form. And so it's the commonality of the bean that is the reason why people tend to use it, and the good news is, is most of the time they do it very poorly.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Let's talk a little bit about how technology is changing investigations. And we have a call here from Vince(ph) in Iowa. Vince, what's your story of evidence that changed an investigation?
VINCE : Well, I've been an artist for quite a while. I've worked my way through college long ago as a medical artist. But anyway, that's another story. I was working at a supermarket when I was a youngster, and in the evening the supermarket was held up by a robber, and of course this was long before cell phone cameras and so on.
VINCE : And I wasn't in the office when it was held up, but the lady who was there saw the robber very plainly, and after about two to three hours of her description saying yes, this looks like him, no this doesn't quite look - we wound up with just about what she thought he looked like.
VINCE : The drawing was circulated among the highway patrol, and although they didn't catch him right away, they stopped a fellow on a traffic violation, and the partner of the driver, of the patrolman driver, looked at the picture and said this looks a little like this fellow. So they took him in, and lo and behold it was the robber.
VINCE : So things like that have changed, and of course we have a huge advantage with being able to take actual pictures these days.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Yeah, thank you so much, that's a great story from Vince in Iowa. Malcolm Brady, how do you think technology is helping investigations of this kind? What kind of evidence do you get with all this cell phone, video and surveillance camera stuff coming in?
MALCOLM BRADY : Well, let me go back to a couple of things you talked about, the single piece of evidence that was beneficial to finding out the (unintelligible). Both at the New York - at the first World Trade Center bombing and the Oklahoma City bombing, both of those was the single piece of evidence that led us to the person that committed the act, and that being the frame reel and the serial number.
MALCOLM BRADY : Now, there was a lot of hard work and a lot of footwork went into finding those, and then after that processing all that information and finding the individuals responsible for it.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : So let me ask you then, Don. You're talking about distractions in terms of the media circus going on. But how does technology help or hinder you in terms of the amount of the multiplication of your work? I mean whereas before you may have been getting video or images from a single source, now these investigators in Boston are getting thousands upon thousands of images they have to sift through.
DON BORELLI : Yeah, I mean but overall I would say technology has been a help to law enforcement. I mean some of the advances with, for example, cell phone technology, where if somebody's standing in a particular area, like Boston, and you can take the - all the amount of information that's collected at that cell phone tower that's, you know, servicing that area, and that's a place to start to sift through, you know, all those cell phone numbers to try to narrow down who your, you know, possible suspects are.
DON BORELLI : You know, similarly with photography, all the - I live in New York City. I could walk five blocks down the street, and probably my whole stroll would be captured on, you know, multiple cameras. So this is helpful. In the case, though, of sifting through, you're right. With so many, you know, thousands of hours of, you know, video and still photographs and so forth, it's a lot to sift through. But I would still say that, you know, in this case it's better to have more information than not enough.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : We have a call now from Stu(ph) in Boyd County, Kentucky. Stu, your story of a piece of evidence in an investigation?
STU : I was a commonwealth (unintelligible) for this county. We had two men in a room, one dead of a gunshot wound to the head with a pistol (unintelligible). The other (unintelligible) shot himself. Kentucky state police detectives, however, pointed out that the pistol was a 1911 Colt, an automatic, and if the man had shot himself, the hammer would still be cocked because the pistol cycle was that way, whereas the pistol was uncocked, meaning the nephew had done it..
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : OK, I'm going to - just because it's so very - it's difficult to understand what you're saying, Stu. Thank you very much for your call. I'm going to try to see if I can get what he was saying. He was talking about two guys in a room. I guess it was made to appear like one of them had committed suicide, but it was a Colt pistol, which would have still been cocked if the man had killed himself, letting the investigators know literally with a smoking gun that the other man had - that there had been murder involved.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Don, that - those kind of things like gun placement and the things that he's talking about, has that been changed much by technology, or is that kind of old-school techniques?
DON BORELLI : No, I think that kind of falls into the old school. I mean, you still, sometimes with all the technology we have available, it boils down to, you know, just good old-fashioned police work, and, you know, like that story, you know, using a little logic and intuition behind the investigation.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Malcolm Brady, former assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives, you know, we have both the Boston Marathon and then in Texas, of course, we had explosions, and perhaps in Texas they still have to be concerned about whether it might be safe to go on the scene. How do you determine when a scene is safe when there's some kind of incendiary device or some sort of explosion that has occurred?
MALCOLM BRADY : Well, first and foremost you have to do a complete survey of the scene there, and you work your way in as close as you can, being very, very cautious as you go. And if in Texas and, as Don said earlier, you've got to first consider that to be a crime investigation. So they're working it as a criminal investigation and then you - after that, you may change modes, and you go into trying to explain how it happened and if it was in fact not a criminal act.
MALCOLM BRADY : And also, one thing I should say is that we're learning as all of our guys come home from Afghanistan and Iraq and some of the other places, we have to do IEDs and all. We're getting great technologies and information from these guys. They're the people that have experience over there. And most of it is being incorporated into the investigative techniques of not only ATF but the FBI and all the other federal- and state-level law enforcement agencies in the country.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Well, Don, how does it - how does an investigation change if it takes place abroad as opposed to something that happens here in the States?
DON BORELLI : Well, when you're operating abroad, you have to do it in concert with the host country. Obviously, you know, you're in their turf. You're operating under their laws. I've actually had experience with this. I was in Kampala, Uganda, when they had bombings - multiple bombings - people watching the final game of the World Cup soccer, and a number of people were killed. So we had an FBI team that went over there with full capabilities, with bomb technicians, with evidence technicians, support and everything you need.
DON BORELLI : Basically, it was a mobile FBI field office. But we worked with the local authorities in concert, you know, with them, and you trying to use their laws and put the crime scene together and interview the people and basically conduct a full investigation.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : That's Don Borelli, chief operating officer of The Soufan Group. He's a veteran of the FBI as a special agent. Before him, you heard Malcolm Brady, former assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives. And also on the line from Arizona, Paul Keim, the Cowden Endowed Chair of Microbiology at Northern Arizona University. And, you know, Paul, let me ask you: How many tests you end up having to run on something? If they send you a sample of what they think, suspect may be ricin or anthrax, as you investigated in 2001, how many tests do you end up running on that piece of material?
PAUL KEIM : Well, you don't do it blindly. You have information from the investigators already, knowing something about what the material is, and so you focus upon particular questions. So, for example, in the anthrax letter, the first thing we did was go look to see what type of anthrax it was. In these types of letters where you're looking for ricin, there's these tests that can be done on the site to see if there is in fact potential for ricin to be in there. And, you know, so they don't go out and look for something way out of left field.
PAUL KEIM : There are very focused questions that are being addressed by the investigators and informed by them. But the repertoire of tests that we have that can be brought to bear is enormous. In the last decade, with genome technology, we've been able to come up with a test for just about anything. But, of course, you don't throw the book at it. You select.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. Let me send that same question to you then, Malcolm Brady. When you have an explosive device, how - and it gets to the lab, how many tests do you end up running on that, or do you, as Paul was explaining, begin with a specific set of questions and only test to answer those questions?
MALCOLM BRADY : Well, generally, you have some sort of an idea of what kind of - what explosive material that was used in there, and you can oftentimes tell that by asking questions of what kind of flash was it, what kind of color was the smoke that come off of it. So you have some information that will get you there, and that you pass that along to your laboratory people before they start to conducting their samplings and all. And generally, they have a very good idea of what, you know, they're looking for what we're looking for. So it will limit the amount of testing that they have to do on that particular material.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Don Borelli, let me ask you, in the case of the bomb - the explosion - I should say - in West Texas, at the fertilizer plant which many authorities have said there's no reason to believe it was anything other than an accident. They just begin every investigation investigating as a crime. But hypothetically speaking, if you were going to determine that something had - was an act of terror, what tells you? Can't someone set something up to look like an accident? How do you know if something was not an accident, and when then does it really become a true crime investigation?
DON BORELLI : Well, this is where you rely on the experts and, you know, people like Malcolm was talking about that are, you know, going to go in there and process that scene. I won't use the word crime scene because it's undetermined but...
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Right.
DON BORELLI : ...you know, certainly, the ATF and the FBI have individuals that are trained to look for forensic clues, and you rely on their expertise to tell you if this was a deliberate act or it was just an industrial accident.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : And do you invite - I mean, when you invite, I guess, input from the general public, as they have done in Boston, do you end up ever getting things from the public which is helpful, which is not cell phone video? I mean, does somebody ever come to the FBI and say, look, I found this, is this connected?
DON BORELLI : All the time. I mean, we really - as, you know, as much as technology is helpful and all of the other investigative techniques that that I have described, in many cases, it's a concerned citizen or the general public or, as Malcolm even mentioned before, a human source, a human being with knowledge that want - that comes forward and is helpful to the investigation. And in many cases, this is your best investigative technique is that human-derived intelligence.
CELESTE HEADLEE, HOST : Malcolm, would you echo the same sentiment from Don that oftentimes the people who are near the scene or may have seen something or picked something up can be your best input?
MALCOLM BRADY : Absolutely. I concur with him, and I'll give you one example of it. I worked a major arson investigation in Sacramento one time, and we went back to the photos that the news had taken of the scene of the people that were there, and knowing who had been living in this particular building and all. We were able to come up and identify a man in the video that lived in that building. And then to be able to talk to a live person and talk to him about what they saw and what they did, we were able to come up with the identity of that person within a few days. A (unintelligible) the arson. So, the people that surround it, the people who were there, the people that see are extremely important, but sometimes you just have to channel what they see into facts, versus what they thought they saw.

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 ?
Sheila : All right . Here you go . Fed and burped , but the diaper changing is still yours .
Bonnie : Hello , hello , hello . My baby , baby bonnie . Are nt you just the sweetest little gumdrop ever ? Yes , you are . Did you miss me ? Cause I missed you , bunches of bunches of bunches . I could just -- om - nom - nom - nom-- eat you up . Om - nom - nom - nom .

Male announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives .

Lani : I was a mess .
Jj : It was a tough time .
Lani : Yeah . Losing a child is ... very tough .
Jj : You know what ? Maybe I - I should nt say this , but IM ... kind of guy who just says stuff anyway , but I-- I know we re right around the time where-- where he was due . [ 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 nt want to take any chances .
Bonnie : She has his eyes , do nt 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 .
Bonnie : Aww . Mm . Bye , baby . [ Baby talk ] Chloe lane . You here to stake your claim ? You were always pretty territorial , huh ?
Chloe : I just came here to set you straight on a few things .
Bonnie : Well , have at it , ghoul girl ... because I ve already won .
Chloe : Okay . We all know that you re lying about that baby , and there s no way that I m gon na let you use an innocent child to hurt lucas again . With uncontrolled moderate - to - severe eczema ,
Eli : Sheila ?
Sheila : Hey , look at you .
Eli : Hey . I did nt know you were back in town .
Sheila : Mm - hm .
Eli : Or that you had a baby .
Sheila : Come on , now . Does this look like my kid ? This is bonnie lockhart s -- well , at least according to her .
Eli : It sounds complicated .
Sheila : Ha . It always is .
Eli : It s good to see you .
Sheila : You too .
Eli : So what s up ? Everything good with you ?
Sheila : Well , you kept me from getting charged in bonnie s last scam . I m not going back to statesville , so yeah . I mean , I got a whole new life . I m holding my own . You know , chicago style .
Eli : [ Laughs ] Well , good for you .
Sheila : Thank you . So what about you ? You still with that gabi chick ?
Eli : Uh , no , that-- that all went to hell . I got another woman pregnant .
Sheila : Ooh .
Eli : Yeah .
Abe : Hey , sweetheart . Sorry I m late . I wanted to check in with john .
Lani : I heard marlena s awake . He must be thrilled .
Abe : You know , he came so close to losing her . He s ecstatic . But paul has a long road ahead of him , and ... paralysis , so john is upset about that . [ 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 nt ready yet .
Lucas : I mean , that baby ca nt 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 gotta -- 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 nt , and I did nt 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 nt 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 .
Jj : Hey , hey . One grande decaf latte . I had them put your name on it . I would nt want you getting mine . IM ... 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 nt 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 stefanS.
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 ?
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 ?
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 nt know .
Chad : What ? Maybe what ?
Gabi : I know that you love spending time with abigail and thomas . D -- I get that . Do nt 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 nt believe it . I ca nt believe I slept with bonnie lockhart . Even when I knew it was nt adrienne , I did nt 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 nt know . This ... she s not gon na want to stick around for this . It s gon na be even too much , even for her .
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 nt 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 nt 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 .
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 nt ? 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 nt 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 nt know . Maybe , maybe not . What if it s just the grief , and I do nt 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 .
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 nt 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 nt 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 nt know if she ll ever get past it .
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 nt answer my question . You believe her ?
Abigail : [ Sighs ] I ... she seems sincere .
Jj : But ?
Abigail : But I m g - gonna 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 nt 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 nt really feel like it lately .
Gabi : I just do nt 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 nt get it off , so i was wondering if I could just borrow yours .
Chad : Just leave the keys on the ...
Gabi : Whoop ! [ Laughs ] Thanks .
Chad : Desk . I ll grab my ...
Gabi : Time to take my plan to the next level . [ 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 nt exactly going as planned . Turns out nobody wants to really hire an ex - con , so I -- I do nt 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 nt 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 .
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 nt 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 .
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 nt 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 .
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 .
Gabi : That s exactly what I m gon na do .
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 .
Sheila : Shh , shh , shh . [ Baby cries ] Okay , my shift is up , and it s time to pay the babysitter .
Bonnie : Oh , my god . There she is . Oh , is nt your auntie sheila funny ? [ Laughs ] Like taking care of you was nt joy enough ?
Sheila : Yo , dude , I brought this joy to town for you , not to mention I keep her 24/7 , and diapers and formula are not f - r - e - e , okay ?
Bonnie : Yes , I know , I know , and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you ve done .
Sheila : [ Scoffs ] Well , I would like my appreciation in cash .
Bonnie : Well , I wish I could , but I m broke . Are nt I , sweetheart ?
Sheila : Got to be kidding me .
Bonnie : I thought we had an understanding here . Sheila , you are baby bonnie s godmother . You re doing this out of love .
Sheila : Do I look like a damn fairy godmother to you ?
Bonnie : She swears way too much , does nt she ? You close your ears . I thought you d be honored .
Sheila : Honored ?
Bonnie : Mm - hm .
Sheila : [ Laughs ] This is just another con for you to stall time so you do nt go back to jail .
Bonnie : Some people are so cynical .
Sheila : Would you talk to me ? Hello . Talk to me .
Bonnie : And so ga - rumpy . Sister , you are out of luck , because I do nt have a dime .
Sheila : I should ve known . [ Laughs ] It s history all over again . But you know what ? You re running out of time , because when that dna test comes back , and the clock strikes midnight on you and baby bonnie , I m not sticking around to pick up your pureed pumpkin .
Eli : Oh , sheila , hey . [ Phone rings ] Lani ?
Lani : I m glad you picked up . Can we meet ?
Jj : Listen . Have a great time at the picnic . I m rooting for you , chad , and thomas . Will you give my nephew a kiss for me ?
Abigail : I will , cause you re the best brother ever . Thank you .
Jj : Listen . You and chad deserve some happiness , okay ?
Abigail : Okay .
Jj : I ll do whatever I can to support you .
Abigail : Hey , well , why do nt you start by taking my picnic basket to my car for me ?
Jj : Oh , you got it , pregnant lady .
Abigail : Thank you .
Jj : Let s do it .
Abigail : Thank you , thank you .
Jj : Lead the way . Slow .
Abigail : Oh , I do nt want to forget that .
Lani : Sorry , I ... ignored your call earlier .
Eli : Nah , it s all right .
Lani : Um ... it s just , I ve been doing a lot of thinking about what you said the other night , and I was hoping we could talk .
Abe : John , what s the latest on paul ?
Sheila : Man , I could eat everything on this menu twice . And me , with no money . Well , looks like this one might be on mr . Abraham carver .
Abe : That would be me . So what the hell are you doing ?
Bonnie : Well , kid , I m thinking right about now , the truth is about to drop . [ Chuckles ] Mm - hm .
Kayla : I , uh ... I got the results of the paternity test .

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
R.J. : Mr. Harris came by and asked if I liked your new boyfriend .
Marina : Who would steal a stereo system and then donate it to charity ?
Man : A wonderful woman who lost her daughter here last year .
Marina : Cassie does something nice , and now we re going to cause a big load of trouble about it ?
Cassie : Looks like I left my keys in the car .
Cyrus : I happen to have my kit .
Marina : Well , at least they re breaking into her car .
Mallet : Yeah , I wonder what s taking them so long .
Marina : How long do you think it will take us ...
Mallet : I d be in that car already .
Marina : No , I mean to save up enough money ?
Mallet : Oh , for the house ? Oh , I do nt know . With both of us working two jobs ...
Marina : You know , maybe I should call Harley , see if she can give us a little more time . You know , I do nt think I ve ever left my keys in the car before .
Mallet : Oh , I have . You know , that s a good idea , asking for another month . Oh , they re in . Nope , they re not in . Huh . You d think Cyrus would realize by now that speed is critical when stealing another person s car .
Marina : I would think that speed is critical when stealing anything . And he stole jewels , not cars .
Mallet : He stole all kinds of things .
Marina : It s Cassie s car , so it s not exactly like they re stealing it . Oh ! They re in .
Mallet : They re in ! You sure about this ?
Marina : Yeah . Yeah , definitely . I mean , Cassie s neighbor has their stereo system stolen , and then , when , just a little bit later , Cassie donates a stereo system exactly like that to the hospital ?
Mallet : Yeah , I did nt mean that . I meant you taking Cyrus . I can question him .
Marina : Oh , no , no , no . I m fine with Cyrus . You can interrogate Cassie .
Mallet : Well , it s not an official interrogation .
Marina : Interrogation , ambush-- whatever .
Dinah : You know , I hate to kill the moment , but do nt you have a girl wrapped up and bound in the basement ?
Grady : So ?
Dinah : So you might want to check on her .
Grady : She s not going anywhere . So is this being on board with the plan ?
Dinah : The plan involves planning , and what you did was something very different .
Grady : Well , I ca nt cut her loose now .
Dinah : No , I know . I know you ca nt . But I need you to be nice to her . We used to be friends before ...
Grady : Friends ?
Dinah : Yeah . We used to be roommates . It s a long story . But this is nt about Lizzie . This is about Bill . The longer she s down there , the more he ll suffer , and the more he ll need me to pick up the pieces . And he ll see that it was a big mistake to toss me out of the company and the family and the house . Okay ?
Lizzie : Somebody help me ! Help me ! Help !
Bill : Yeah , look forward to working with you , too . Okay . Take care . Hey , Beth . Have you heard from Lizzie ?
Beth : No . I ve spent the whole day at the law library . Why ?
Bill : Just wondering .
Dinah : Okay . Shut that thing off . ( Cell phone ringing )
Grady : Huh , brother Bill .
Beth : What s going on with Lizzie ? Something wrong ?
Bill : No . You know how she is . She calls her own shots .
Lizzie : I know you re out there ! Answer me ! Hello ?
Bill : Okay . Well , I ll talk to you soon , then . Thanks again .
Beth : So I take it the presentation went well ?
Bill : Well , I knocked it out of the park .
Beth : You mean , you and my daughter knocked it out of the park .
Bill : No , that s not what I mean , because Lizzie never showed , so I had to do it all on my own . And fortunately , I was able to save face , convince Decker . Now he wants to work with me and me alone .
Beth : Oh . Hmm .
Bill : So , you do nt seem too surprised .
Beth : Well , I just do nt think it s Lizzie s top priority right now .
Bill : Really ? Well , it should have been . I mean , hell if I know what she wants anymore .
Beth : Well , as much as I hate to say it , it s you , Bill . You are what she wants .
Bill : Well , she s got a funny way of showing it . You realize she almost blew this deal ? Leaves me hanging on the biggest day of my career , and I had so much that I wanted to tell her before we ... never mind . So you think she planned on bailing on me all along ?
Beth : I think , um , that she knows that you ve never liked sharing the limelight ; that you wanted to prove to everyone-- Josh , Bill , Alan , Decker-- that you were the next big thing . And maybe she stepped out of the way to give you your win .
Bill : I do nt know .
Beth : Why ? Why ? Is that inconvenient ? Does that take away from your big win ? If you ask me , I think you should be thanking her .
Bill : Maybe I would , if I knew where she was .
Lizzie : Ow .
Dinah : Make sure Lizzie s comfortable , all right ?
Grady : She s tied to a chair .
Dinah : You know what I mean . We re not out to torture her . We re not your typical kidnappers .
Grady : Well , then what are we ?
Dinah : We re opportunists . I m going to go get a feel for the situation again , so we can figure out how to best use this to our advantage . But from now on , we re going to think everything through , right ? We ll leave nothing to chance , make sure we do nt react to every impulse we have . Okay , enough of that . We have more important issues to attend to .
Marina : Hey ! Hey , stranger .
Cyrus : Hey , yourself .
Marina : Man , I thought maybe you left town .
Cyrus : Thought or hoped ?
Marina : No , no . I just have nt seen you around that much . And , you know , now that Harley s definitely not coming back , and ... well , Grady s trial ended weeks ago .
Cyrus : Well , Grady s sticking around , so ...
Marina : So you re your brother s keeper , huh ?
Cyrus : Well , some days .
Marina : Well , I mean , that ca nt be your full - time gig .
Cyrus : Grady s not hanging around with Daisy again , is he ? I thought that was all over .
Marina : No . No . Not that I know of .
Cyrus : Good .
Marina : You know , Cyrus , Grady should really leave town . I mean , not that everyone would want you to follow him or anything like that .
Cyrus : Is the house sold yet ?
Marina : What ?
Cyrus : Harley s house ?
Marina : Oh . Uh , yeah . Actually , Mallet and I are buying it together .
Cyrus : Congratulations .
Marina : Thanks . So what are you up to ?
Cyrus : What ?
Marina : Well , I mean , if Grady s not keeping you busy all the time , I figure you must be up to something .
Cassie : Well , thanks for helping out . What brings you out this way , anyway ?
Mallet : Oh , patrolling . There s been a lot of reports of break - ins in the neighborhood . Have you seen or heard anything ?
Cassie : No . No , it s been quiet here .
Mallet : Okay . Well , if you see or hear anything , you know , let me know . You know , if you feel unsafe at all , just call me , because I know it s just you and R.J. , and , you know , with Grady still out there ...
Cassie : Oh , I do nt think he ll be causing any problems .
Mallet : Why do you say that ?
Cassie : I just think here is the last place he wants to be . Really , R.J. and I are doing fine . I will call you if we need you .
Mallet : Okay . R.J. s getting in the tool box , huh ? Teaching the kid some responsibility ?
Cassie : Well , R.J. has had to be responsible than more things than most kids his age would ever have to be . He helps around the house , but now that he s back in school ...
Mallet : Oh , right . You ve got to do a lot of it yourself .
Cassie : Actually , I hired Cyrus to help around here .
Mallet : Oh . I did nt know he did that kind of thing .
Cassie : Yeah . Yeah , he does .
Lizzie : Hello ? Talk to me . Those sound like Jimmy Choos . No , wait , talk to me ! Please say something to me !
Grady : Drink !
Lizzie : I m hungry .
Grady : It s coming .
Lizzie : No , wait ! How much will it take ? How much money do you want ?
Marina : So anyway , I took on a second job at the hospital as a security guard , but I do nt know . If you re looking for anything these days ....
Cyrus : I ve just been doing some odd jobs . To pay for the house ?
Marina : What ?
Cyrus : Is that why you took a second job ?
Marina : Oh , yeah . I mean , sort of . So odd jobs , huh ? And you were still able to afford all of Grady s legal fees .
Cyrus : Yeah . So Harley knows that you bought her house ?
Marina : Well , yeah . I mean , she s the one who s selling it , so ...
Cyrus : I m surprised you d want to live there after everything that happened with the two of you .
Marina : Oh , well , you did , after everything that happened with the two of us .
Cyrus : Well , I had nowhere to go .
Marina : Yeah , that s when I thought you might leave town , but you stayed .
Cyrus : Well , Grady turned up , so ... anyway , I m sorry I even brought up the house , Marina . I did nt want to bring up what happened with you and Harley , or me and Harley , or ...
Marina : Or you and me . Yeah . Anyway , so Grady s sticking around , huh ? Why ?
Cyrus : Well , I should nt speak for him .
Marina : Oh . It must be really hard on Cassie .
Cyrus : Well , sure , of course .
Marina : Not that she does nt have people to lean on for support , you know ? Friends , family , even neighbors .
Cyrus : Neighbors ?
Marina : Yeah , neighbors , you know ? Everybody s got em . And if Cassie s close with hers , then , you know ...
Cyrus : No , I do nt know .
Marina : Well , I assume she is close with her neighbors .
Cyrus : You d have to ask her . Anyway , I really should go . But good luck with the house .
Marina : Thank you .
Cyrus : I really do want you to be happy .
Marina : Thanks . Me , too .
Cassie : Well , thanks again for helping .
Mallet : Yeah , you bet . I would have left it for Cyrus if I knew he was working for you .
Cassie : Oh , well , he s not ... not really . Not anymore .
Mallet : Oh , did something happen ?
Cassie : No , just ... there s not much left to do around here . He s taken care of most of it already .
Mallet : Well , I m sure that guy knows his way around a tool box . You know , probably learned all that breaking into places .
Cassie : You re not a fan ?
Mallet : Never knew you were .
Cassie : I m not . I just needed some things taken care of around here . That s all . Would you like a bottle of water , so that you can take it with you to go when you have to get back out on patrol ?
Mallet : Did Cyrus threaten you ?
Cassie : No !
Mallet : You just seem a little rattled .
Cassie : I think I must have just had too much coffee this morning . Really , R.J. and I are totally fine .
Mallet : Thank you . Guess I ll mosey on over to my job number two . I m working security at Cedars . Oh , the administrator showed me that stereo system you donated to the hospital . Sweet . Very nice .
Cassie : They re not supposed to talk about that .
Mallet : Oh , well , I think it was a little bit of a slip - up , but it happens . See , I ve been looking for a stereo exactly like that one , and so ... did you buy that downtown ?
Cyrus : Oh , hi .
Cassie : Hi . Come on in .
Cyrus : I did nt know you had company .
Cassie : No , not at all . I m sure you re just here to pick up your tools . I was just telling him about how you ve been working here .
Cyrus : Got to pay the bills .
Mallet : Yeah . Okay , guys , I m a little pressed for time . I think you stole a stereo system from Cassie s neighbor down the road , and I think you donated it to the hospital . So prove me wrong .
Bill : Dinah . What are you doing here ?
Dinah : Just coming buy to see Mom with some WSPR stuff , electrical bill . Did nt she tell you ?
Bill : No , but she knows that I ve been busy .
Dinah : Yeah , I thought you d be working . Did Decker back out ?
Bill : Why would he do that ?
Dinah : Because you said that Lizzie was a no - show for your presentation .
Bill : No . The deal is still on . Suddenly , Lizzie is nt so important to him anymore .
Dinah : Is nt so important to him ?
Bill : Look , this deal is going to be a huge success for me , for the company .
Dinah : That s good . That s good , is nt it ?
Bill : Yeah .
Dinah : You do nt look happy .
Bill : I just do nt want to talk about it .
Dinah : Has she called ?
Bill : Dinah , I do nt want to talk about it .
Dinah : I know that . I was just curious . You know what ? I m going to go . You just keep making your phone calls .
Bill : I called the hospitals , just in case there was an accident or something .
Dinah : Anything ?
Bill : No .
Dinah : Well , you know what ? Just do nt beat yourself up worrying that something kept her away . Maybe she kept herself away .
Bill : Beth said the same thing .
Dinah : Even her own mom thinks that she s capable of totally abandoning you , so ...
Bill : Do you know what our mother thinks you re capable of ?
Dinah : Look , if you re going to believe everything that Mom has to say about me , then ...
Bill : Well , I do nt give you half as much credit as mom does .
Dinah : No one gives me enough credit .
Bill : The truth is , I wanted to tell Lizzie that I love her . You know , I want to make a commitment to her . I do . And I wanted to tell her that before the presentation , you know-- just in case it all fell apart , Decker backed out , and we have one another , you know ? She d know she s the most important thing to me . Beth does nt think she abandoned me . She thinks she stayed away so I could have my shining moment .
Dinah : And you had that , did nt you ? Did you have that ?
Bill : I ve got to make some more calls .
Dinah : Bill , just do nt take this personally , please . Maybe she just ... she was nt thinking of you .
Bill : I do nt know if Mom s inside , but you can go in and check if you want .
Lizzie : Untie me , just a little bit-- just enough so that I can write down my bank information and my pin number . I wo nt try anything . I promise , okay ? Come on , you can go to the ATM . You can take out a ton of money , okay ? But if you do nt want to do that , I can ... I can tell you how to get to my checkbook , and you can write it out yourself for as much as you want . I ll sign it , I do nt care . You have no idea how much money my family is worth . Come on , pick a number so we can cut a deal , please ! You can take the money , and then I ll walk away , and I ll look ... I ll walk away and I wo nt look back , okay ? I promise . This is your one chance to make money off of this , okay ? Everyone I know is going to come looking for me ! They re probably looking for me right now !
Grady : Or maybe nobody cares .
Frank : Hey , honey . Are you stumped on a case there ?
Marina : No . I was just ... I was just punching some numbers into a mortgage calculator to see how much money the people who end up buying Harley s house will have to pay .
Frank : Hmm . Why do you care ?
Marina : I do nt know . It was just for fun .
Frank : For fun ? Well , I m sure Springfield taxpayers would love to know how their finest are spending their days .
Marina : Yeah . Well , maybe the taxpayers should be paying us more money so that the S.P.D. s detectives can put nice roofs over their heads , instead of having to live in freaking hotel rooms forever . And then maybe we d be motivated to go out there and find some fricking crime to fight !
Frank : What s going on ?
Marina : I m buying ... we re ... we re buying Harley s house , Mallet and me .
Frank : You re buying it as an investment , right ? I mean , people are going to be renting it from you , right ?
Marina : As a home , for us to live in together .
Frank : You better start talking , and you better start talking real fast .
Marina : Okay , now , listen . I think that ... well , we think that we are taking things slowly-- I mean , mostly . Nobody wants to rush things . I know that for sure . But ever since we started working on this house , getting it ready and cleaning it up for ... to get ready for us to sell , it s all we can think about . And then , you guys came over , and we played cards , and we had that stereo dance party , and you guys spilled potato chip crumbs all over the place , and it just felt right ! I mean , it felt like it should be our house , and it should nt go to somebody else , even a family that we like , because ... well , just because . So we really want to do this , and even if we re the family moving in right now , and it s just Mallet and me and that s all , I mean , it s still the right family . But we re not talking about marriage at all . We are definitely not talking about this . But we both want it so badly , and it means so much to us that we re taking on second jobs so we can try to scrape up enough money so that we can afford this house ! And I know that we re going to be tired , and I know it s just going to mean work , work , work , work , work , and we re going to have absolutely no life for , like , the longest time , but I just think in the end of the day , it s really going to be worth it to me , because I get to go home to my house with him .
Cyrus : You know , you try and straighten out your life , start doing some legit work . Accusing me of stealing I get . But dragging Cassie into this ?
Cassie : Cyrus , I m fine .
Cyrus : She was married to a minister .
Mallet : I said prove to me that you did nt swipe the neighbor s stereo , and instead I m getting , what , a song and dance here ?
Cyrus : I did nt do it . Go ahead , investigate . I have nothing to hide . Did you save the receipt for this ... whatever it is ?
Mallet : Stereo system .
Cassie : I do nt know . I can look .
Cyrus : And if you need an alibi for me , I can get you one .
Mallet : Oh , I m sure you can .
Cyrus : Hey , I ll take a polygraph . We both will .
Mallet : Yeah , I may hold you to that . You ll be hearing from me again soon .
Cassie : A receipt ? What are you thinking ? Why would you put that in his head ?
Cyrus : Because I m going to get you one . I m going to take care of it right now . I ll just pay off a store clerk to dummy up a receipt .
Cassie : Just like that ?
Cyrus : I ve done it before .
Cassie : Yeah , and the cops know that , so we re dead . I ca nt ... I do nt know what I was thinking . I do nt know why I was nt more careful . I ca nt take a polygraph .
Cyrus : I ve done that before , too . You can beat them .
Cassie : Oh , maybe you can .
Cyrus : Okay . I ll teach you how to do that when I get back from the store . It s all good . Really .
Cyrus : Hey ! Did you get my message ?
Grady : What message ?
Cyrus : I called you before . Where you been ?
Grady : I ve been here . Now I m leaving . I ve been busy .
Cyrus : Well , I was thinking of starting a new job . It ll have to wait now , but I thought you might want in .
Grady : What s the job ?
Cyrus : I do nt know yet .
Grady : I ve got something I m working on at the moment .
Cyrus : With Dinah ?
Grady : Yeah .
Cyrus : Big score ?
Grady : There s no room for you , if that s what you re asking .
Cyrus : I m not . I just want you to be okay , Grady .
Grady : I m better than okay , bro .
Frank : Here .
Marina : What s this ?
Frank : Around the time your mom and I got divorced , you drew me a picture . It was a picture of your wedding day . It nearly broke my heart .
Marina : I do nt remember .
Frank : Of course you do nt remember , because you were little . But it was a big wedding . And there was a lot of stick people . And you had really long , red hair that went all the way down to your little stick feet , and your groom was about five feet taller than anybody else around there . I mean , he was even taller than some of the trees .
Marina : ( Laughs )
Frank : And his head was bigger than the sun .
Marina : Were you there ?
Frank : I was standing right next to you , like I said I always would . And here we are . I started saving for your wedding that day .
Frank : But I told you , Mallet and I are nt ... we re not getting married .
Frank : No , no , no . I know that . I know that . But when you were talking about the house and all that , in that same picture you drew a little house , and it was a tiny , little house in the background . You said that was going to be my house . I do nt know how your ten - foot husband was going to fit in the door , but ... and you said also that you wanted a party in that house , and that you wanted to have a party every single day in that house . I may not be able to give you everything in that picture , but I can certainly help you get that house .
Marina : Dad ...
Frank : You take whatever money is in that account , okay ? You should have enough for a pretty good down payment . And you do nt wait for that party . You start that party now . And you start it with a great guy . And that house ... that house is no longer Harley s . It s yours .
Marina : Thank you . Thank you .
Mallet : Hey , you want some help ?
Dinah : Oh , hey . No , no , no , no . I m fine . Thank you .
Mallet : You sure ? It looks pretty heavy .
Dinah : Nope . It s fine .
Mallet : What do you got in there ? You got a body in there ?
Dinah : No . I ve got clothes and shoes and lots of stuff to give to Goodwill .
Mallet : Oh . You know , there s a box outside the police station . I can take it for you .
Dinah : No . No , no , no , no . It s fine . I ll do it myself . Thank you .
Mallet : It looks too much .
Dinah : It s fine , okay ? I m going to take it to charity myself . It wo nt count if I do nt do it that way . So speaking of cleaning up , how is Harley s house coming along for you ?
Mallet : Oh , yeah , fixed up and , um ... Marina and I are actually going to buy it .
Dinah : You guys are moving in together ?
Mallet : Yeah .
Dinah : Wow !
Mallet : Yeah .
Dinah : Wow , that was soon . Well , that s ... congratulations . Congratulations . That is excellent . Aw . Charity awaits . I ... I will see you later .
Lizzie : I ve got to get back to Bill .
Marina : ( Screams )
Mallet : What ? What are you doing ?
Marina : I m celebrating ! You know , like in a football game , when the winning team rushes over to the winning coach and they dump that bucket of sports drink all over him ? Only I used silly string so we would nt get our floor sticky .
Mallet : What are you talking about ? Oh , thank you . That s helpful . Thank you .
Marina : Our floor . Our floor . Mallet , my dad gave us the money for a down payment so we can buy the house .
Mallet : What ? What happened ?
Marina : Yeah , I was talking to him about us wanting to buy the house and trying to scrape up enough money to be able to afford the down payment , and he told me about this account that he started years ago so that he could give it to me someday when I had something really important . And this is , so he gave us the money and his blessing .
Mallet : Wow . I ... well , I appreciate his blessings , but I m not taking money from Frank . I ca nt take money from Frank .
Marina : No , you re not . I am . He gave the money to me as a gift , and this is how I want to spend it .
Mallet : You sure ?
Marina : Absolutely .
Mallet : This is our house ? We re in our house ? Oh , we re in our home ?
Marina : We have to buy it first , but ...
Mallet : Hold it . So Frank ... Frank s been saving money for you , and he s been sitting on this pile of cash , and now he just gave it to you ?
Marina : Well , it was supposed to be for my wedding , I think , but ...
Mallet : Oh .
Marina : No , Mallet . Listen . Listen . I think it was less about an actual wedding , and more about me starting my life , which this is . So it makes perfect sense .
Mallet : What if you want to get married someday ?
Marina : Do I have to decide that right now ?
Mallet : Race you to our new bedroom . No , I did nt say go ! Oh ! Next time we celebrate , let s try champagne instead .
Marina : That would be sticky .
Mallet : Well , drinking it , not wearing it .
Cyrus : So I had the guy dummy up a few different kinds of receipts so our bases are covered .
Cassie : Okay . And the thumb tacks ?
Cyrus : Well , I m getting to that . So the key to beating a polygraph is to throw the machine off during the control questions . So they re going to give you some irrelevant questions , like what s your name , have you ever been a princess ? Just no - brainers to get your settings . And then they ll give you some relevant ones , like did you steal your neighbor s stereo ?
Cassie : Okay . So what kind of control questions , then ?
Cyrus : Well , the control questions are usually yes / no questions , and they compare your reactions to those to your reactions to the relevant ones , and they re kind of the questions that make everyone uneasy-- so , um , like have you ever lied to your priest ?
Cassie : Does my minister husband count ?
Cyrus : Right . That s a bad example . Have you ever ... I do nt know , something crazy . Have you ever worked in a strip club ? Seriously ? ( Laughs )
Cassie : Okay , next question , please .
Cyrus : Okay . Put this tack inside your shoe .
Cassie : What ? No . Why ?
Cyrus : Well , you can throw the machine off by managing your heart rate and your blood pressure , and you can do that with pain , if you practice .
Cassie : I m telling you , I ca nt do this !
Cyrus : A polygraph is nt even admissible in court .
Cassie : In court !
Cyrus : Okay , let s ... let s ... here , give me the tack . We ll put that aside , and we ll try something else , all right ? You also need to keep your breathing under control , especially if you re lying . So breathe with me . All right ?
Cassie : I ca nt believe we re doing this .
Cyrus : Just give it a shot . Breathe in and out , just normally . Just normal breathing , normal heart rate . That s it . All right , again , in and out . That s good . So then , when you get a control question , you can speed it up , or you can hold your breath for a few seconds .
Lizzie : Who are you people ? What do you want ? Just tell me what you want . What do you want from me ?
Dinah : Oh , are you having fun ?
Grady : Not really . What s this ?
Dinah : Lizzie s clothes .
Grady : You are so hung up on giving her food , giving her water , making sure she s comfortable . Now she s got clean clothes ? Take me prisoner anytime .
Dinah : I m trying to make it look like she s run away from home so it will buy us more time . And stop calling her that .
Grady : Opportunist . Gotcha .
Dinah : Grady , this is nt funny . You have to do things my way . You need to play it cool and patient from now on . What ?
Grady : Nothing . You re the boss .
Dinah : Please do nt forget it this time , all right ?
Coming up on Guiding Light ...
Alan : Have you heard from Elizabeth ?
Lizzie : Bill is going to find me .
Alan : What s that ?
Lizzie : He s going to find me . He will .
Alan : Elizabeth has been kidnapped .
Bill : No . No , Alan , you ca nt .
Lizzie : He has to know that something is wrong . He has to know that I would nt have left before the presentation .
Alan : It s clear from this note , Bill , Elizabeth has been kidnapped .
Bill : I think it s a fake .
Lizzie : Bill !

Bonnie : The things I do for love . [ Chuckles ] Ooh , and revenge . Mm .
Anjelica : Anjelica . Oh , my god . Are nt you just the spitting image of adrienne kiriakis ?
Bonnie : Still not sure that s a compliment . [ Laughs ] You must be the brains behind the brawns .
Anjelica : Oh , honey , with you looking like that , all our dreams are guaranteed to come true . Wow .
Theo : Hey , claire .
Claire : Theo , hey .
Theo : Hey .
Claire : Those are gorgeous .

Theo : Yeah , me too . Um ... you know , I just-- I just wish that , um ...
Claire : You wish what ?
Theo : Well , if I -- if i worked faster , maybe things would ve been different .
Claire : Worked faster ? On what ? What does that have to do with abigail ?
Maggie : It looks like a florist shop in here . I do nt think there s room for any more .
Abigail : I know . I m very blessed . But given everything that s happened , I am not gon na take one bit of it for granted .
Maggie : Do you have any idea how many people love you ?
Chad : Oh , hey .
Abigail : Hey . Come here . Hi .
Male announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives .
Abigail : Hey ! Hi , sweetheart .
Chad : DR . Shah said a little bit of this medicine would be the best medicine . Go see mommy .
Abigail : Hi . Hey , big guy . Hi .
Chad : Yeah .
Maggie : He s getting bigger all the time . Are nt you ? Um , well , I should be going .
Chad : No , no , no , you dont-- you do nt have to , uh , run off .
Maggie : Well , I think this little family needs some alone time .
Abigail : Thank you for coming , aunt maggie .
Maggie : Oh ! I love you , abigail .
Abigail : I love you .
Maggie : And you . I love you too .
Chad : Oh ! Wow .
Maggie : [ Laughs ]
Abigail : Hi .
Chad : Hi . How you doing ? You good ?
Abigail : [ Sighs ] Yeah , I m good .
Chad : Yeah ?
Abigail : Better now .
Chad : Good . Did you tell her ? There s more . Got a little surprise .
Abigail : What is it ?
Chad : Yeah , should we tell her ? Oh , what , you-- oh , he does nt want to ruin the surprise .
Abigail : No , he does . He wants to tell me .
Chad : We ca nt tell you . Okay , fine .
Abigail : What is it ? [ Gasps ] Is that ... huh ? Who is that ? Yeah . Do you know that used to be mine , huh ? I gave that to you on your first birthday when I could nt be there , hmm ?
Chad : Yeah , he said , uh , as much as he s gon na miss it that it has magical powers and it s gon na make you feel better .
Abigail : I think you and daddy are probably all the magic I really need , right ?
Bonnie : Oh , ooh , never thought I d feel soft sheets again .
Anjelica : Oh , if you play this right , you are gon na be sleeping on silk sheets the rest of your life .
Bonnie : Well , I have to thank you , maam , for thinking of me and having hattie bust me out .
Anjelica : Well , the beauty of it is that the real adrienne right about now is pounding on bars and swearing to anyone who ll listen that they have the wrong girl-- which , according to hattie , is exactly what you have been doing for years , so no one will pay any attention .
Bonnie : [ Laughs ] And while she s eating slop and sleeping with bedbugs , I ll be getting everything I ever dreamed about . [ Chuckling ] Oh . To see the look on old red s face when I get my revenge-- oh , I have been dreaming about that moment forever . And the bow on it is when I get my hands on victor kiriakis big fat bank account .
Anjelica : You will get everything you want . But first things first . Now , hattie filled you in ?
Bonnie : Right . For starters , you want me to dump lucas horton .
Anjelica : Yup .
Bonnie : Okay .
Anjelica : That s my plan .
Bonnie : Okay . Well , I looked him up on the internet , just like I was told . He is pretty damn hot . I was thinking maybe I could have a little fun with him first .
Steve : You do nt really mean that , do you ?
Kayla : I do ! You have decided that joey should be held accountable for killing ava . Well , what about all the things that tripp s done ?
Steve : Framing you was wrong , and--
Kayla : Wrong ? Just wrong ? He did nt just frame me . He jeopardized the lives of my patients . He threatened to kill me !
Steve : I know what he did , kayla .
Kayla : What he did was criminal , and he did it to people who have done nothing but accept him and love him . So if anybody is gon na go to prison , it should be tripp !
Steve : He s my son !
Kayla : And so is joey ! Or have you forgotten that ? Real cheese people are ham and swiss people .
Lani : You wanted to see me , sir ?
Raines : Uh , yeah . Close the door . I have every spare man looking for dario hernandez and he s still at large . That s unacceptable . So how s the case with you and agent grant , the one you re building against hernandez ?
Lani : I m sorry , sir . I ca nt discuss it .
Raines : [ Scoffs ] You know that you are employed by salem pd and I m your boss . So you can tell me anything agent grant has shared with you . And that s an order .
Abe : Well , are nt you going to open it ?
Valerie : Oh ... yes , of course . It s just ... I - I was nt expecting this .
Abe : No , no , no . [ Laughs ] It s -- it s -- it s not a ring .
Valerie : Oh , thank god . I mean -- I mean--
Abe : I - I know . I know what you mean . And just so you know that if I were going to propose , I would nt push a ring box across the table while you re finishing your fries . And I would probably pick a more romantic spot than the brady pub during the lunch rush .
Valerie : See , now I m embarrassed .
Abe : And somehow even more charming .
Valerie : Oh .
Abe : Well , open it already .
Valerie : Okay . Oh .
Abe : [ Laughing ]
Valerie : Oh , abe ! Oh , they re beautiful . Oh , but it s too much . It s -- it s just too much .
Abe : Look , it has been a long time since I ve had anyone to lavish gifts on . And this is a -- a thank - you .
Valerie : For what ?
Abe : I was upset when theo went to work for the dimeras , but you got me to ... stand down and understand that I needed to trust him . Thanks to you ... my son and i are in a great place .
Valerie : I m glad .
Claire : Hey , what do you mean if you worked faster , then things would be different ? What does that have to do with abigail ?
Theo : Look , I ca nt talk about my job , okay ? Just forget I said anything .
Claire : Wait , hey . Does it have something to do with chad s arrest ? I mean , the other day , you said he was in trouble . Theo , if you need to talk , I can just take a break .
Theo : Yeah , I canT.
Claire : Because it s a secret ?
Theo : No , because I have to be at the hospital .
Claire : Okay , well ... just tell abigail I say hi , please .
Theo : I will .
Claire : Theo , wait . Listen , I meant what I said before . If you ever need someone to talk to about anything , you can trust me .
Theo : I know .
Steve : Kayla , listen , I m not saying that tripp did nt do terrible things . But he did nt kill anyone . He s not living with the kind of guilt that s grinding joey down .
Kayla : We invited him into our home . He lied to us . He endangered lives .
Steve : I know . He made some really bad decisions . But in his mind , it was about justice for his mother .
Kayla : Oh , so that makes it all right ?
Steve : No , it does nt make it all right . But I think that if tripp had been raised in a more loving home , he might not have made those choices . A kid like tripp ... I mean , prison would ruin his life .
Kayla : And you do nt think that prison would ruin joey s life ?
Steve : Sweetness ... joey s soul is already in prison .
Steve : Our boy is so filled with guilt . He hates himself . And it s breaking my heart . There s no way I want to see him go to prison . But if that s his choice ... if that s what he needs to feel whole again , I will stand by him .
Kayla : Stand by while he makes a decision that is gon na destroy his life ?
Steve : Maybe we have to stop making decisions for him , stop trying to protect him .
Kayla : No , I am his mother !
Steve : And I m his father . And we trapped him in this lie because we love him and because we could nt stand the thought of losing him .
Kayla : So , what , prison is the answer ? Have you thought about what prison would do to a boy like ours ? He would be eaten alive .
Steve : Joey knows how we feel . But ultimately this has to be his decision , not ours . It s not about us .
Kayla : Oh , the hell it isnT. None of this would be happening if it were nt for you .
Claire : A quarter , really ?
Tripp : Uh , hey , claire .
Claire : Tripp , hi .
Tripp : Uh , sorry to bother you at work . I just wanted to return this .
Claire : Thank you . So what did you think of the tracks ?
Tripp : I think , someday , I ll be seeing you headlining a sold - out concert and I ll be telling the person next to me that I knew her when she was waiting tables .
Claire : Well , it better happen soon . And when it does , front - row seats and backstage passes for you and joey and theo and the best after party ever .
Tripp : Uh , I m afraid that I wo nt be around for that .
Claire : Why ?
Tripp : I m leaving town .
Anjelica : This is your bible . Study it .
Bonnie : Nah , I already read everything there is to know on adrienne kiriakis on the internet .
Anjelica : Oh , well , I m so glad . What is her favorite book ?
Bonnie : She likes to read ?
Anjelica : Oh , yeah . Favorite color ? What does she have for breakfast ? You know , is she a pilates or a yoga girl ?
Bonnie : All right , is there anything in there that says what lucas horton likes ?
Anjelica : Just read it . Memorize it .
Bonnie : All right .
Anjelica : Those details are gon na make all the difference . Now , when we can pass you off as adrienne , then we ll get you back together with justin .
Bonnie : Her ex ?
Anjelica : Mm .
Bonnie : Well , that does nt make any sense . Hattie said he s the one you want .
Anjelica : Oh , god , am I always the only one who sees the big picture here ? Yes , justin is the one I want . But for some unknown reason , he is still hung up on adrienne . So when you become adrienne , you can take him back , and then you can break his heart .
Bonnie : And you swoop in and pick up the pieces .
Anjelica : Exactly . Brilliant , is nt it ?
Bonnie : Oh , it is . [ Laughs ] It s also all about you .
Anjelica : Well , of course it is . It s my plan . Uh , but you ll still get what you want .
Bonnie : How s that ?
Anjelica : Well , justin lives at kiriakis mansion . He will move you in there , right under the same roof as maggie and victor , which will give you ample opportunity to get very up close and comfortable with victor .
Bonnie : I wonder if maggie still has that tchotchke figurine collection .
Anjelica : Oh , honey , who cares ? Someday soon , you will be the head of that house and you can toss them all .
Bonnie : Ooh , I like the way you think , boss lady .
Anjelica : Of course you do . [ Both laugh ] Now , the first thing we have to do is deal with lucas .
Bonnie : Ri--
Lucas : Adrienne ?
Bonnie : Ooh .
Anjelica : Well , no time like the present .
Chad : All righty , thomas is headed home with his best friend , harold .
Abigail : [ Chuckles softly ] Thank you for bringing him .
Chad : Absolutely .
Abigail : I missed him .
Chad : [ Sighs ]
Abigail : You know I never would have left him , right ?
Chad : Yeah , I know .
Abigail : You know , last night , uh ... the things that you said , I just-- I want you to know that i understand if it just came out in the moment .
Chad : I meant every word .
Abigail : But you and gabi are ...
Chad : There is no me and gabi .
Abigail : You broke up ? Do nt be with me because you re grateful or because of thomas .
Chad : I m not . I want to be with you because you re my soul mate .
Abigail : But you and gabi are ...
Chad : She understood that you and I are meant to be . And then she told me not to screw up .
Abigail : [ Chuckles softly ] Sounds like her .
Chad : I love you . I really , really love you . I always will .
Abigail : I m sorry that we lost so much time .
Chad : You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for .
Abigail : You know , maybe when I get out of here , we could take thomas and just-- just go away for a few days . The beach . Seashells and seagulls and ... watch the sun go down and ... just show you how much I love you .
Chad : That sounds perfect .
Abigail : What s wrong ?
Chad : You know I got stuff I got to handle , right ? I got to do what s right .
Raines : Yeah , extend the apb and then get back to me . All right . Ah , so now , what was the deal the fbi made with hernandez ?
Lani : You should really talk to agent grant .
Raines : I m talking to you cause you work for me .
Lani : Look , I m right there with you to find out whoever hit abigail , but again , I ca nt divulge any details about an fbi investigation .
Raines : Okay , well , I ll make it simple . Tell me , or you re fired .
Claire : You re leaving salem ? What about your family and , like , becoming a doctor ?
Tripp : Yeah , that s never going to happen .
Claire : I mean , aunt kayla thinks you d be great--
Tripp : She hates me .
Claire : What ?
Tripp : Remember all that stuff about how kayla was being set up ? Well , um ... well , it was me . I did it .
Steve : You re blaming me ?
Kayla : Tripp is in our lives because of you .
Steve : Because he s my son .
Kayla : And you felt guilty .
Steve : I wanted to give a home to a young man who s never known the kind of love we have .
Kayla : So in your rush to help the son that you never knew , our son has been completely exposed .
Steve : I thought I could control the situation .
Kayla : Why would you think that ? Joey was already suffering . When he and jade lost that baby , he thought for sure that he was being punished for killing ava . Then her son comes into town and he s asking questions and there s resentment . There is no way that that was gon na end well .
Steve : You were with me every step of the way . If this is how you felt , why did nt you say something ?
Kayla : How could I say no ? You put me in an impossible position . I could nt deny you something that you wanted so badly . And now I could lose joey .
Steve : Kayla ... I wo nt let that happen to this family .
Kayla : If joey goes to prison , there wo nt be a family .
Lucas : Adrienne , are you in there ?
Anjelica : [ Whispering ] The sooner you break up with him , the sooner we both get what we want .
Bonnie : [ Stammering ] I m not ready .
Anjelica : No , no , no , just follow my lead .
Lucas : What the hell are you doing here ?
Anjelica : You know , just once , I would love it if someone in this town gave me a civil greeting .
Lucas : What s going on ? Is she harassing you ?
Anjelica : No . I am here to call a truce .
Lucas : You expect us to believe that , really ?
Anjelica : Well , why do nt you ask adrienne ? Have nt we been having just a lovely little chat ?
Bonnie : Yes .
Anjelica : So I m so glad we re getting on with a new chapter in our lives . [ Laughs ] Lucas ... handsome as always .
Lucas : Oh , thanks .
Anjelica : Mm .
Bonnie : [ Clears throat ]
Lucas : A truce , really ? Do nt tell me you fell for that .
Bonnie : What ? Oh , no . Pfft , of course not . Um , I was just trying to get rid of her .
Lucas : Cause I was worried about you . I called you . I texted you . I went to the spectator .
Bonnie : Well , I was on my way to the spectator when anjelica showed up , and ... [ Laughing ] I could nt get her to shut up .
Lucas : Well , I m just glad you re okay . May I say you are looking especially beautiful today ?
Bonnie : Really ? [ Giggles ]
Lucas : Mm - hmm .
Bonnie : Thank you .
Lucas : Yeah , look at you . There s definitely a-- an extra glow .
Bonnie : Glow ? It s , uh , soap -- new soap .
Lucas : No , no , no , I do nt think that s it .
Bonnie : Oh , no , no , no .
Lucas : I do nt think that s it at all .
Bonnie : Oh , no .
Lucas : Mm , looks like someone wants to pick up where we left off this morning .
Bonnie : [ Laughs ] No , no . No .
Lucas : No ?
Bonnie : We ca nt do this , no .
Lucas : What s wrong ?
Bonnie : I m sorry .
Lucas : What are you sorry for ? What s going on ?
Bonnie : [ Exhales forcefully ] We need to talk ... about us .
Lucas : You want to talk about us ? That sounds serious .
Bonnie : It is .
Lucas : Well , I actually-- I wanted to talk about us as well .
Bonnie : You do ?
Lucas : Yeah . Yeah , absolutely . I know we ve been putting it off , but I - I think the timing is perfect right now . I think it s the right time .
Bonnie : You do ?
Lucas : Yeah , to get married . I mean , we do nt have to have a big wedding or anything . We could just elope .
Bonnie : What ?
Lucas : I m being insensitive . I know . I m sorry . I m sorry about that .
Bonnie : No . No , lucas , you could , I m sure , never be insensitive .
Lucas : Well , I know you want to stay in town because of sonny , right ? So we ll get married quietly . I just ca nt wait to spend the rest of my life with the one woman that shows me what true love is all about .
Bonnie : Oh , my god , you re such a good guy . Oh , you re so handsome , charming , and ... so damn sweet .
Lucas : Sounds good , but I did nt hear a yes . Is that a yes ? Get married as soon as we can ?
Bonnie : Oh , I really hate to do this .
Lucas : Hate to do what ? What is it ? What s going on ?
Bonnie : You know , I just need to come out and just say it . It s over .
Lani : With all due respect , sir , I did nt do anything wrong .
Raines : You do nt take orders . You re insubordinate . Sounds like grounds for dismissal to me .
Lani : You d really fire me ? I can see it now : Mayor s daughter fired from salem pd . Ca nt wait for my dad to read that .
Raines : Are you threatening me , detective price ?
Abigail : Please do nt tell me that you re gon na go to the police .
Chad : There s evidence that I killed a man , abby--
Abigail : No , but , chad , you are not a killer .
Chad : Neither is sonny , and he s been sitting in jail for too long for a crime he did nt commit .
Abigail : But , chad , we finally are together , like , for the first time , for real . Please dont--
Chad : Listen , we re gon na have time to be together . I promise .
Abigail : If you go to the police , then that might not really be a promise that you can keep .
Chad : You want to-- want to know a promise that I can keep ? I m gon na do everything I can to get back to you . I ll fight like hell . I promise you that .
Abigail : Oh , gosh , I just hate the idea of thomas losing you . But that s who you are . That s the man I fell in love with .
Chad : Then you know I ll do everything I can to get back to you .
Abigail : I want to go with you .
Chad : CanT. You need to sit here and you need to get better , okay ? Come here .
Abigail : I love you .
Chad : Hey , theo .
Theo : Hey .
Chad : How you doing ?
Theo : Good . You ?
Chad : Nice flowers .
Theo : Oh , yeah , they re for abby .
Chad : Yeah ? Well , she ll love them .
Theo : Yeah .
Chad : Hey , uh , I ve been , uh -- Ive been meaning to call you , okay ? I wanted to thank you for everything you did to get rid of that photo .
Theo : Yeah , um ... you know , I was thinking that maybe if I had worked faster , then maybe abby would nt have gotten hurt .
Chad : No , no , no , no , no . Look , you did everything that you could , okay ? And abby s gon na be just fine .
Theo : Okay . You here to see her ?
Chad : Yeah . I m , uh -- I m just leaving . I have to head to the police station .
Theo : Why ?
Chad : I ca nt let sonny take the fall for something I did , theo .
Theo : But , chad , the picture did nt prove you killed deimos .
Chad : I - I - I know . Um , about that . Look ... the police might want to talk to you , okay ?
Theo : Because i destroyed evidence ?
Chad : Yes , and , um ... look , I m gonna -- I m gon na do everything I can to protect you , okay ? The same way that you and abby protected me . All right ? It ll be okay .
Theo : Yeah , I mean ... we love you .
Chad : I love you , okay ? Come here . Oh , my god , you re getting so big .
Theo : [ Laughs ]
Chad : Okay .
Claire : You set up kayla ?
Tripp : [ Clears throat ]
Claire : Why would you do that ? Why ? She s been so nice to you .
Tripp : I - I thought she killed my mother .
Claire : Killed your mom ? Are you crazy ? She did nt do that .
Tripp : No , I know that now . But ... it s too late . She found out that I was the one who framed her , and now she hates me .
Claire : So apologize .
Tripp : Yeah , that s not an option .
Claire : Hmm . So what are you doing ? You re just running away ? Where are you going ? Back to arizona ?
Tripp : It s not like my adopted dad and I were buddies . But I m just going to ride off into the sunset . No big deal .
Claire : You know , my parents and I used to move around a lot when I was younger , and it s really lonely , not having a place to call home . Are you sure you want to do that ?
Tripp : Not much choice now . If I stay here , kayla will make sure that I go to prison .
Steve : Hey . Hey , baby .
Kayla : You know , can you please just leave me alone ?
Steve : Will you just listen to me ?
Kayla : Ugh .
Steve : Please , just listen . You were right . It was selfish of me not to consider the consequences of finding ava s son and bringing him here to salem . I shouldve -- I should ve thought it through more . Should ve had a real conversation with you . I understand why you re angry .
Kayla : This is nt about me being angry . And I - I do nt want to fight with you . I just want to keep joey out of prison .
Steve : I know . But we ll work this out together .
Kayla : Together ? You have already decided that it s best for joey to confess , and my opinion does nt matter .
Steve : You know that s not true .
Kayla : Do I ? I feel like we always end up right back where we started . You make decisions and you cut me out .
Steve : [ Sighs ]
Lucas : Over ? What are you talking about ?
Bonnie : Look , you-- you ll always be special to me .
Lucas : Because we love each other .
Bonnie : Things have changed .
Lucas : What s changed ?
Bonnie : I ve changed .
Lucas : Since this morning ? You re the same woman I had an amazing morning with .
Bonnie : Please , do nt make this any harder than it has to be .
Lucas : I m gon na make it hard as hell , because it does nt make any sense to me .
Bonnie : Look , I ve made my decision , okay ? Just -- just -- just accept it .
Lucas : Why are you doing this ? Why are you pushing me away like this ? Is the cancer back ? Is that it ? I mean , honey , you told me your numbers were good .
Bonnie : The big c ? No . [ Clears throat ] No . I m still in remission .
Lucas : Then why do you want to end this ? What are nt you telling me ?
Bonnie : I need you to leave .
Lucas : I m not going anywhere till I get an answer . I mean a real answer .
Bonnie : Please , if you love me ...
Lucas : If I love you ? You know I love you . And I know you love me .
Bonnie : Look , this decision is nt as sudden as you think it is .
Lucas : Since we made love this morning ? It is nt ? Are you sure ?
Bonnie : Yes .
Lucas : Adrienne , why are you doing this to me ?
Bonnie : Because after you left , I - I realized that I needed to be honest .
Lucas : This does nt make any sense .
Bonnie : Look ... I m sorry , lucas . But I made a mistake when I chose you . My heart belongs to justin .
Steve : Baby ... I m not trying to cut you out of anything . I m just trying to make you see that our boy is suffering . And if -- if he feels that confessing will lift the weight that s been crushing him , then I have to honor his decision .
Kayla : So ? So he confesses . Then what ?
Steve : Then we try to make a deal with the authorities .
Kayla : Oh , and then when they arrest you for obstruction of justice , you think that you get a deal too ? Maybe -- maybe -- maybe side - by - side cells ?
Steve : Right now , we need to focus on what s best for joe .
Kayla : Uh - huh , well , if you have your way , our sweet , kind , lovable joey goes to prison while tripp gets away with everything that he s done .
Steve : No , no , no , I will deal with him .
Kayla : Oh , good . Well , while you re making nice with tripp , I am gon na do everything in my power to protect our son from making the worst decision of his life .
Steve : Kayla ! Do nt you know I wish I could protect him too ?
Kayla : Really ? Because it does nt feel like it ! It does nt feel like it at all !
Steve : Sweetness . Listen to me . As much as we love our children , we ca nt always keep them safe .
Kayla : Just -- just go .
Steve : [ Sighs ] Baby--
Kayla : No , no , no . Go .
Claire : Yes , so going to prison would be totally uncool , but ... you know , I just do nt think that aunt kayla s that person . She s very forgiving .
Tripp : Yeah , I do nt think she will be in my case .
Claire : But you re family , so it s not , like , completely impossible , right ? Tripp , look , I know I have nt known you very long , but I get screwing up relationships .
Tripp : You and theo ?
Claire : Yeah , I mean , like , a big part of me wanted to run away when that whole thing happened too . But I did nt , and I stuck it out . And , you know , the weird thing is , we re actually good friends now . So maybe just do nt give up so easily . Well , I got to get back to work . Um ... am I ever gon na see you again ?
Tripp : I do nt know .
Claire : Okay . Here . Take this .
Tripp : You do nt want it ?
Claire : No , in case you miss my big concert , then you can listen to that and you can tell yourself that you knew me when .
Lani : I would never threaten you , sir .
Raines : But you could nt help but remind me that your daddy s my boss .
Lani : No ! It s just ... he is so proud of me . And I want to keep making him proud . If I get fired--
Raines : Message received , price . You re dismissed .
Lani : Commissioner raines , if I divulge any part of an fbi investigation , I could face federal charges .
Raines : I said that you are dismissed . Thank you .
Abigail : [ Chuckles ] Thank you .
Theo : I know you re sad about chad .
Abigail : We just tried so hard to protect him . We couldnT. [ Sighs ] I ca nt lose him again , theo .
Theo : He said he has to go to the police because it s the right thing . I mean , when people do the right thing , it ll all work out in the end , right ?
Abigail : I hope so . But , chad , we finally are together , like , for the first time , for real . Please dont--
Chad : Listen , we re gon na have time to be together . I promise .
Abigail : If you go to the police , then that might not really be a promise that you can keep .
Raines : Hey , uh ... here to see your buddy sonny ? I did nt see any visits on the books .
Chad : No . I m , uh-- I m here to confess to the murder of deimos kiriakis .

### Dialogue:
Kristen : Well , if it is nt the george and martha washington of salem welcoming us back to town . [ Tense music ] Hey , are you okay ?
Lani : It just feels like yesterday I was standing right there , about to marry eli .
Kristen : I know that it s a painful memory for you .
Lani : Pain is half of what I feel when I think about gabi hernandez .
Kristen : Well , you know what ? We are back in town , and we are gon na make that little witch pay , hm ?
Eli : Looks like you could use one of these .
Gabi : Thank you .
Eli : So christmas was nt that bad , huh ? The kids looked like they had fun .
Abigail : Oh , sure . I think that they did . They definitely did , except for that part where ari took charlotte s doll and gave her that brand new haircut . [ Laughs ] Right ? That was not great .
Gabi : Yeah , well , I mean you could always just buy her a wig . You know , you do have some experience in that department . My bad . I just ...
Abigail : That was typical .
Gabi : Well , I mean , thomas-- he did the same thing . He stabbed that toy , and then he got the goo all over arianna s therapy coloring books , and--
Eli : I think that was an accident .
Gabi : I know .
Abigail : I ll buy her a new book . Really . I do nt mind . Honestly , I would be so happy to contribute to ari s therapy .
Gabi : What is that supposed to mean ?
Abigail : Oh , nothing , no , no . I just mean that-- well , she has nt had the easiest childhood , right ?
Roman : [ Sighs ] Oh , I thought you were upstairs . I looked for you at the party and assumed you got another ride home .
Kate : Oh , no , no . I decided to stay there and help them clean up out back .
Roman : Wow . That is very nice .
Kate : Well , you know me . Nice . Really ? You got someone to take the job ? Who d you hire ?
Roman : Oh , well , yeah . I did find somebody . Um , but as far as who I hired , look , kate , I-- I do nt want to freak you out , okay ?
Hattie : Hey , kate . We got ta talk . I got a really big surpi--
Steve as stefano : Looks like the cat is out of the bag . After all this time , we re finally face to face .
Male announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives .
Nicole : [ Laughs ] Holly is officially in christmas heaven .
Brady : [ Laughs ] Did maggie do a good job with all the presents ?
Nicole : She put santa to shame . It s like the north pole exploded in there .
Brady : I would have loved to have seen her face .
Nicole : Well , I took a lot of pictures and tons of video .
Brady : I m sorry I did nt go in . I just -- the thought of running into victor on christmas ? I do nt want to ruin my own holiday .
Nicole : He is a ruiner , so--
Brady : Should I take you home ?
Nicole : No . Actually , I d really like to go get a drink . Going back to the apartment eric and I shared just -- it feels depressing .
Brady : Oh , I hear you . I do . I actually was nt just avoiding victor . I was also avoiding going in there and revisiting all the memories that I ve had with kristen .
Nicole : So ?
Brady : Let s go .
Lani : You know , I knew coming back here would be tough , but this is even harder than I thought . Why did you pack that ?
Kristen : Oh , I brought yours too .
Lani : Why ? We decided not to take our vows . We re not nuns .
Kristen : Right , right , but eli and jj probably assume that we did take our vows , and that news most likely has gotten around .
Lani : So you just want us to let people believe it ?
Kristen : Yeah . [ Laughs ] For now . That way they wo nt see us as a threat , especially gabi .
Lani : Okay , and you still think that you can gain her trust by just dangling your shares in front of her ?
Kristen : Oh . She d do anything to stay in control of dimera , and once we get our foot in the door , we ll find a way to neutralize her and disarm julie s pacemaker . Hm ? [ Chuckles ]
Abigail : Have you ever thought about doing something similar to your hair that ari did with charlotte s doll ? I mean , I think something really extreme might look very good on you .
Gabi : Really ?
Abigail : Mm - hmm .
Chad : Why do nt you just take it down a notch ?
Eli : Please , especially on christmas , all right ? We do nt need this to get ugly .
Gabi : She started it .
Eli : And that s why we re happy to end it .
Chad : We re good for tonight .
Abigail : How much are you gon na let her get away with ?
Chad : Hello ?
Kristen : Hello , chad . It s your sister again . Is this a good time to talk ?
Kate : You hired hattie adams . You hired hattie adams ?
Roman : I did , yes .
Kate : [ Sighs ] Oh , my god . I thought that she was in prison .
Roman : Well , she got an early release and she needed a job as part of her parole .
Kate : This is a terrible idea ! No , no , actually , this gives terrible ideas a bad name .
Roman : Kate , look . I know it s an unconventional hire , okay ? But hattie did me a favor a couple years ago when we almost pulled the plug on marlena .
Kate : I remember that she blackmailed john into marrying her . That s what I remember .
Roman : Yeah , well , I just felt like I owed her one .
Kate : You know , you are way too nice a person . We re going to have to work on that .
Roman : I will get right on it .
Kate : So when does the little experiment start ?
Roman : Well , we have nt named a day yet , but we re gon na talk more specifics when she comes down .
Kate : When she comes down from where ?
Steve as stefano : It s wonderful to see you . You look lovely , as always .
Hattie : Thanks . It s good to see you , too , although I m kind of surprised to find you in kate s room , patch .
Steve as stefano : [ Chuckles ] Patch , yes . I know it must be strange-- you finding me here looking like this . You must have a million questions .
Hattie : I got a couple questions .
Steve as stefano : Well , allow me to clear one thing up from the start . I am not patch .
Steve as stefano : It s true , marlena . I m not who you think I am .
Hattie : Well , I m not even marlena , thanks to some work by old dr . Rolf .
Steve as stefano : You re hattie ?
Hattie : Yeah , I m hattie . Boy , you know , stefano promised me the moon and the stars , if I would just look like his queen of the night . I m glad that old geezer s gone .
Steve as stefano : Is that right ?
Hattie : Yeah . That s right . What about you ? If you re not patch , who are you ?
Kate : Hattie s here ? Now ? Upstairs ?
Roman : Yeah . She went up to see you .
Kate : How long has she been up there ?
Roman : She went up a little while ago , but obviously , since you re here and not up there , I am kind of wondering what s keeping her .
Kate : Okay . If you ll excuse me .
Roman : Something wrong ?
Kate : No , no . I m just gon na go say hi to hattie .
Chad : Jennifer , how are you ?
Kristen : Oh , right . You ca nt talk .
Chad : That s right .
Kristen : Well , then just listen . I was thinking that we should continue our conversation about my dimera shares .
Chad : Yeah . We d love that .
Kristen : Well , I ca nt come there , for obvious reasons .
Chad : We ll , um , we ll come to you . Actually , I m sure gabi and eli could use the privacy .
Kristen : Gabi and eli are there with you ? You know , I do nt want to alarm them , so let s just meet at the little park off the square in about 20 minutes ?
Chad : That s great . We ll see you then .
Kristen : Okay .
Abigail : What s up with my mom ? Are the kids okay ?
Chad : Everything s fine . They re really excited for the sleepover actually . Believe it or not , charlotte s looking for her new doll . The one with the really cool haircut .
Gabi : Oh , really ? She likes it . Who would have thought ?
Abigail : Huh . That s interesting .
Chad : Why do nt we just get the doll , and we ll go see them ?
Abigail : Yeah , yeah , yeah . We ll go see them . Yeah .
Gabi : While you re at it , why do nt you go get some new coloring books , and a new personality , huh ? You know what ? I hate her . [ Angry grunt ] Ugh ! Sorry .
Lani : She s at the mansion . Gabi is there with eli .
Kristen : Yes . I am afraid so .
Lani : How long do I have to hide away , while gabi gets everything that she wants ?
Kristen : All right . We just need to be patient . That s all .
Lani : If only I could find a way to just disarm her control over the pacemaker , then I can blow that bitch out the water .
Kristen : And lani , that s going to happen . Trust me . But right now , I just need you to stay put , okay ? I m on it .
Lani : Like hell I m staying put . They say life is all about making choices .
Abigail : I knew you were nt talking about charlotte wanting that doll .
Chad : You think gabi realized ?
Abigail : No , no . Are you kidding me ? Gabi was just concerned with taking her victory lap .
Chad : Well , I m sorry . I just -- I had to come up with something on the fly .
Abigail : No . It s all right . Oh , dear god .
Chad : Kristen , you look--
Kristen : Different .
Chad : Wow . Yeah .
Kristen : I know . I m sure this is a bit of a shock to you .
Chad : It ll take some getting used to .
Kristen : Well hello , abigail . It s so lovely to see you .
Abigail : Thank you .
Kristen : I was happy to hear about your mother s recovery , and I hope to see her soon , maybe say some prayers with her .
Abigail : Yes , yes . I think she would really like that .
Chad : I do nt want to be rude . I would really , really like to hear about this journey , but I think we need to get down to business , so let s talk about how I can get you to sell those shares to me , instead of gabi .
Kristen : All right . Not so fast .
Roman : Hey , you two . Merry christmas .
Brady : Yeah . Merry christmas .
Nicole : Merry christmas to you , and I was so sorry to hear about your granddaughter .
Roman : Thank you .
Brady : Any news from boston ?
Roman : Well , eric called , and he s worried , of course , but he s feeling pretty optimistic about the doctors that are working on mickey .
Nicole : Well , I m wishing the best for everyone .
Roman : Yeah . Well , he sure does love that little girl .
Nicole : Roman , I m sorry that I kept the baby s paternity a secret for all this time .
Roman : I appreciate you saying that , but that s between you and eric , all right ? So what can I get you ?
Brady : I m gon na do a ginger ale .
Roman : All right . Sure . Nicole ?
Nicole : Vodka martini .
Roman : You got it .
Nicole : Thanks .
Roman : All right .
Nicole : You re okay with me having a drink , right ?
Brady : Yeah , yeah . I am okay with it , but are you okay ?
Nicole : With ?
Brady : Well , all the talk about eric and the baby . I know it s still raw for you . Are you okay ?
Nicole : It has been a bittersweet day , and seeing how excited holly was about christmas was wonderful , but knowing that eric s daughter is in boston fighting for her life , and I ca nt be there ? It s --
Brady : It s hard .
Nicole : Yeah , but having you here has helped a lot .
Brady : Well , I m glad .
Nicole : I know there s a lot of christmas miracles . Mine this year is having a real friend like you .
Brady : [ Sighs ] Nicole , feel the same way .
Steve as stefano : When I said I was nt patch , what I meant was--
Kate : Hey , hattie .
Hattie : Oh , hi .
Kate : Long time no see . Actually , I can explain that . This is nt patch . This is steve . He no longer goes by the name patch .
Hattie : Oh . Well , that would make sense , see ? Because he s not wearing the patch anymore , so what s up with that ? I kind of miss it .
Kate : Well--
Steve as stefano : It s because I met a brilliant scientist at the isa who was able to restore my bad eye .
Hattie : After all those years ?
Steve as stefano : Ah , yeah , after all those years . So does that answer all your questions ?
Hattie : No . No , no . I m kind of wondering why you re holed up here , in katie s room ? Steyer : I m about to say two words
Kate : Well , the reason that steve is in my room--
Steve as stefano : If you must know , kate is my cover .
Hattie : She s your cover for what ?
Steve as stefano : I m on a mission with the isa .
Hattie : Oh . You mean like james bond ? That s why you have that fake accent .
Kate : Yeah . [ Laughs ] Exactly .
Steve as stefano : So hattie , it s a very dangerous mission .
Hattie : How dangerous ?
Steve as stefano : So dangerous that only kate knows that I am back in salem . No one else knows .
Hattie : No . Roman knows .
Steve as stefano : No .
Kate : Well , yes . Of course roman would know , because roman provided the pub as steve s safe house .
Steve as stefano : Yes , but you ca nt say a word to anyone , not even to roman .
Hattie : Wait a minute . Not to roman ? Why -- roman already knows . Why would I not say anything to roman ?
Roman : All right . Here you go .
Brady : All right .
Nicole : Thank you .
Roman : All right . Enjoy .
Brady : Thanks .
Nicole : Mmm . Oh , my god . Whew ! Gosh . I needed that . Yes !
Brady : Yeah .
Nicole : Sorry .
Brady : Do nt be . It s okay . You know what s funny ? I do nt really even miss it .
Nicole : That s a good thing , right ?
Brady : It s a very good thing , so here s to not missing it and to basic black , huh ?
Nicole : To basic black .
Brady : Yeah .
Nicole : Pretty proud of everything we managed to accomplish this year .
Brady : They said it could nt be done .
Nicole : Mm - hmm , and they underestimated what a great team we are .
Brady : They always do .
Nicole : It must feel good to stick it to victor .
Brady : Yeah . I never knew how liberating being fired from titan could actually be , but basic black has been a very , very good distraction for me as well .
Nicole : From what happened with kristen and your baby ?
Brady : Yeah . I really feel like you want to say something to me .
Nicole : Yeah . Can I be honest ?
Brady : Please . Always . Be honest .
Nicole : Ugh . You are such a great guy , and I just -- I do nt understand . After everything kristen did , how could you ever fall for that bitch again ?
Chad : I hope you re not changing your mind about selling me your shares . If it s about the price , we can work it out .
Kristen : Oh , no , no , no . It s not about the money . It s -- I simply have nt made up my mind yet .
Chad : But you re not thinking about selling your shares to gabi ?
Kristen : Well , in all honesty , gabi did make me an offer , and I have nt ruled it out yet .
Chad : Are you serious ? How could you even consider it ?
Kristen : I m not considering anything . I m simply waiting for a sign from god .
Chad : Y-- [ Scoffs ] You re waiting for god to tell you what to do with your shares ?
Kristen : Yeah . That s correct .
Chad : [ Laughs ] What does god have to do with a company built by stefano dimera ?
Kristen : I have dedicated most of my life serving father , but now it s my goal to serve my heavenly father .
Chad : I admire that . I do , but again , I do nt have to remind you what gabi has done to our family-- to you .
Kristen : Yeah . It s true , but my faith tells me that I need to leave my decision to the almighty , and for the greater good , I need to keep our sister- in - law in the mix for now .
Gabi : I m sorry . Did abigail just threaten to cut my hair ? She threatened to cut my hair , did nt she ?
Eli : I do nt think she meant it that way .
Gabi : She meant that . You know , she is crazy enough to do this , or at least one of her personalities is .
Eli : Babe , please just take a breath . Relax .
Gabi : How can I relax when chad and abigail-- they re trying to undermine me every single second , under my roof . This is my house !
Eli : So far , they have nt succeeded .
Gabi : Yeah . Yes , but until I have those shares -- I need the shares from kristen , okay , so that we can shift the balance of power , and then I can be unequivocally on top at dimera .
Eli : Kristen called you , right ? She said that she would talk to you about selling you the shares after christmas .
Gabi : Yeah . Yes , but I do nt think I can wait until then .
Eli : Well , it sounds to me like you need a distraction-- something to keep your mind off of work .
Gabi : What kind of distraction ?
Eli : Ari is upstairs , and her movie is almost over , and we have the whole house to ourselves .
Gabi : [ Laughs ]
Eli : What do you say we go upstairs , tuck her in , and enjoy the rest of our evening ?
Gabi : Well , that does sound distracting .
Eli : Okay , so you think you can shut off the worry and enjoy it ?
Gabi : Hmm . I do nt know . That s if you can make it properly enjoyable .
Eli : Okay . All right . Well , then I will take that as a challenge . And you know how competitive I can be .
Gabi : Mm - hmm .
Lani : Lucky I remember how to access those tunnels . Now , if I can just find a way to neutralize that app on gabi s phone and take away her control over julie s pacemaker , I can finally crush her and tell eli the truth about why left . There s got ta be something here .
Gabi : [ Giggling ] Eli ! I can not believe arianna fell asleep in front of the tv . She has nt done that since she was little .
Eli : Well , she was exhausted . She did nt even wake up when we moved her .
Gabi : Easiest bedtime ever .
Eli : And more alone time for us .
Gabi : I like the way you think . [ Laughs ]
Eli : You know , this christmas , I did nt ask for any presents at all because all I wanted was you .
Gabi : Aww . Well , that is exactly what you got , right ? You got me .
Nicole : All righty . I m sorry . I did nt mean what I said about kristen to come out so harshly .
Brady : No , no , no . You meant it , and that s okay . I ve asked myself the same question millions of times .
Nicole : And how did you answer it ?
Brady : Here s what I ll say . My feelings for kristen are complicated .
Nicole : I m so sorry for everything you ve been through .
Brady : When we lost that baby I think it just destroyed kristen to a place where she just could nt recover .
Nicole : Until she joined a convent .
Brady : I hope to god she has found inner peace or something .
Nicole : You know , the bible preaches forgiveness , and I m not sure even a forgiving god could help a woman like kristen dimera because underneath that nun habit , I guarantee kristen is only interested in helping herself .
Chad : Kristen , look , I respect your choice , and I respect your faith . I do . You re a part of this family , and you always will be .
Kristen : Thank you . Thank you for saying that .
Abigail : You understand though that by signing over your shares to gabi that then there will be a shift in the balance of ownership to gabi , so she will have control over our livelihoods , over our children s legacy .
Kristen : Right , right , and I understand that is a concern for you .
Abigail : Well , yeah .
Chad : A concern ? Kristen , she already said that she would fire me , and she would replace the entire board if they do nt approve . She s drunk with power , and her only goal is to rid dimera enterprises of dimeras-- of us , okay ? So as a family , we ve got ta circle the wagons . Yeah ? We got ta force her out .
Kristen : And as I said , I will pray and see what god wants .
Chad : Yeah , but what about what father wants ? I mean , what ...
Kristen : Oh , lord . What are you saying ? Father s involved in all this ?
Kate : Well , you see , roman trusted me to keep the mission between us , and if you told him that you knew , then he d probably fire me , hattie . And you do nt want that , do you ?
Hattie : No , I donT.
Kate : Then please , can we trust you not to say anything to roman about steve being up here ?
Steve as stefano : All right . Look , you must nt say anything to anyone , for that matter , because if there s a leak , we ll know it s you , and you will have betrayed the isa s confidence . And we could all face serious repercussions .
Hattie : Repercussions ?
Steve as stefano : I would be sanctioned , and we could all be tried for treason .
Kate : We could go to jail-- all three of us .
Hattie : No , I cant-- I ca nt go back to jail . I ca nt do that !
Kate : Okay , okay , so that means we can count on you to keep our secret , right ?
Abigail : Chad , she s your sister . We should tell her . She deserves to know .
Chad : You have always had my back , kristen . I m gon na trust you . Thing is , is , um , father and I-- we ve been in touch recently .
Kristen : You ve seen stefano ?
Chad : No , but he s been sending me messages urging me to take your shares .
Kristen : He wants the shares ?
Chad : Yes , so I can regain control of dimera .
Kristen : [ Sighs ] So the phoenix is alive and well .
Chad : And insisting on discretion and the importance of driving gabi out .
Kristen : Well , gabi is a part of our family now . She did marry into it .
Abigail : Stefan is gone , and so is gabi s conscience .
Chad : She s an interloper . She has no right to be the head of our company .
Kristen : Father s company .
Chad : What do you say ? Can we band together ? Family ? Force gabi out ?
Kristen : You know , family is very important to me .
Chad : Then you must understand what we re facing .
Kristen : Well , I will consider that . I ll pray and consider it . It is nice to hear that father is alive and well though .
Chad : Kristen , where--
Kristen : I ll be in touch . Peace be with you both .
Abigail : What ?
Brady : Well , I hope you re wrong about kristen . I know . I know she s hurt more people in this town than we can probably count , but she s trying to atone for her sins , so--
Nicole : Okay . You know what ? Let s stop talking about this .
Brady : Okay .
Nicole : We re supposed to be cheering each other up and celebrating the year that was , and instead , we re talking about kristen dimera .
Brady : She tends to dominate conversation , does nt she ?
Nicole : Mm - hmm . Well , I m sorry I brought her up .
Brady : It s all right . I m not . I m not . I m glad . If there s anybody in this town that I can talk openly with , it s you .
Nicole : I feel the same way .
Brady : You want another one of those ?
Nicole : I sure do , but I m at my limit .
Brady : [ Laughing ] Okay . How about I take you home then ? Good idea ?
Nicole : Yeah . You should take me home .
Brady : Let s do that .
Nicole : Okay . Thank you . Oh !
Brady : Careful , careful . Careful . Take it easy .
Nicole : Jacket on .
Brady : There s the arm hole . You got that . See it ?
Nicole : Thank you .
Brady : Yeah . Come on . Take it easy .
Nicole : Okay .
Gabi : You know , I feel like I m the one that got the real christmas gift this year .
Eli : Is it everything you asked for ?
Gabi : And more . I do nt know where I d be without you , eli . You know , when you came back from italy , and we had that huge fight I really , really had to stop and think . You made me think .
Eli : Think about what ?
Gabi : Well , you said that jj s life is worth saving and that I should nt worry about kristen s stock , and you re right .
Lani : [ Thinking ] You phony bitch . Since when did you develop a conscience ?
Eli : You saved me too . When lani ripped out my heart and dumped me at the altar , you were there for me . I honestly do nt know how I would have gotten over her if it was nt for you . I feel like we were always meant to be .
Gabi : Yeah ?
Eli : Yeah . If it was nt for lani , we never would have broke up in the first place .
Gabi : You know , now lani has found her man , and I have you .
Eli : I love you , gabi .
Gabi : I love you too . Why dont--
Eli : What is it ?
Gabi : Why do nt we take our little party upstairs just in case chad and abigail come home ?
Eli : I think that s a good idea .
Gabi : Okay .
Lani : God , I hate her .
Gabi : [ Laughs ]
Eli : Merry christmas , gabi .
Gabi : Merry christmas , eli .
Lani : [ Shrieking ]
Hattie : Well , of course you can trust me . I wo nt say a word about you being here , steve .
Steve as stefano : Thank you .
Kate : That s wonderful , hattie . It really is . Thank you so much , and we will see you later .
Hattie : Yeah .
Kate : Yes . Thank you . What the hell were you thinking ? Why would you even have her enter the room ?
Steve as stefano : She walked in on her own . For a moment , I thought she was--
Kate : What , your queen of the night , blah , blah , blah ?
Steve as stefano : Yes ! Yes .
Kate : Well , you re lucky she was nt , because if that had been the real marlena , your whole triumphant return to salem would have ended right there .
Steve as stefano : All right . Can we trust hattie ?
Kate : [ Scoffs ] What choice do we have ?
Steve as stefano : There s always a choice , katarina .
Kate : Well , as long as she thinks she s part of a secret mission , I think we ll be okay .
Steve as stefano : All right . But if she makes a slip , all bets are off .
Hattie : Hey , handsome .
Roman : Hattie ?
Hattie : Oh , no , I was just trying to compliment my boss . I m sorry . I m sorry . Well , when do I start work ?
Roman : Boy , you are anxious to go , huh ?
Hattie : I am . Well , I want to get busy , roll up my sleeves , and put this place on the map .
Roman : I did nt know we were off the map , but glad to have you on board .
Hattie : Thanks , and I think katie and I are gon na make a really good team .
Roman : I think so , too , you know ? Did you see her upstairs ?
Hattie : I did . I did , and we came to a certain understanding . Wink , wink .
Roman : Certain understanding ?
Hattie : Yeah , but do nt worry , because my lips are sealed .
Roman : Your lips are sealed about what ?
Hattie : I ca nt tell you that .
Abigail : Whew .
Chad : [ Sighs ]
Abigail : You need to call your father . You need to call him , and you need to tell him to talk to kristen about the stock .
Chad : Yeah . Maybe .
Abigail : Maybe ?
Chad : No . No , this is on me . I had a feeling it just got a lot harder too .
Abigail : What do you mean ? Why ?
Chad : It s just kristen . There s more to this than she s letting on .
Brady : Easy , easy .
Nicole : [ Giggling ] Oh , thanks for making my day a little more merry and bright .
Brady : It was my pleasure . You did the same for me , so thank you .
Nicole : Mm - hmm .
Brady : Mmm .
Nicole : Mm - hmm .
Brady : Yeah .

### Dialogue:
Bill : Forget about the DVD . Forget about my father . I am not using you . Tell me you believe me .
Katie : Do you love me , Bill ? tell me the truth .
Owen : Come on . Hold on . There you go . Put your head back . Put your head back . God , you scared the hell out of me . There you go . Just keep breathing . Just keep breathing , okay ?
Steffy : You saved my life . ( Breathing heavily )
Nick : Any word from your husband ? I send him on an errand , and he takes the rest of the day off ?
Jackie : Thank you , ladies . Lovely , lovely , lovely work . Thank you .
Nick : He s supposed to be here .
Jackie : Yes , Nicky , I know .
Nick : What s going on ?
Jackie : ( Scoffs ) Please . You do nt wanna hear about my love life . He s forgiven me . He says he s forgiven me . But he s still struggling . I can feel it .
Nick : Struggling with what ?
Jackie : ( Scoffs ) My past , Nicky . My past . It bothers him , the fact that I ... ( Sighs ) accepted gifts from men , even though it was just to keep a roof over our heads-- it was a long time ago-- it bothers him .
Nick : He s young , Mother . He has zero life experience . Remember me at this age ? He thinks he s got it all figured out-- where he s going , what he has to do to get there . He has a plan . But as we both know , life does nt care about our plans-- very confusing , very frustrating . And sometimes we do things that we would nt normally do . He ll get this figured out eventually .
Jackie : So be patient . Well , in other circumstances , I would agree with you if Owen were just working through this with me , but unfortunately , I m not the only voice in his ear .
Nick : Stephanie ?
Jackie : Ha . Her namesake , Steffy . Interfering in other people s marriages seems to be a trait they share .
Owen : There you go . Come on .
Steffy : ( Winces )
Owen : I got ya . I got ya . I got ya . Here you go . There you go . All right . Here , put this around you . There you go . There you go .
Steffy : Thank you . Thank you . If it were nt for you , I do nt know--
Owen : No , no , no , no , Steffy , no . Listen , you re okay . That s all that matters , right ?
Steffy : I - I do nt even remember going into the water .
Owen : When you fell , you hit your head , right over there on the side . You were unconscious , and you were sinking to the bottom .
Steffy : You jumped in and pulled me out ? Owen , you really , really saved my life .
Owen : Hey . How s your head ?
Steffy : Hmm . It hurts .
Owen : Are you still dizzy ?
Steffy : Embarrassed .
Owen : Oh , come on . What are you embarrassed about ?
Steffy : I promised you a relaxing boat ride .
Owen : No , what you promised me was an adventure .
Steffy : ( Scoffs )
Owen : Come on , you took my mind off a lot of things . Do nt worry .
Steffy : Well , now we re back , and you have to go , so ...
Owen : Yeah . Well listen , what do you want ? Do you want me to-- do you want me to take you home ? Do you want me to , what , take you to the doctor ? What do you need ?
Steffy : No , I called my mom . When you were on deck . She s coming to pick me up .
Owen : Steffy , come on , I can take you home . It s not a problem . I ll give you a ride .
Steffy : No , no , you have done way more for me than anyone has ever done .
Owen : Well ...
Steffy : Look , um ... thank you . Thank you so , so much .
Nick : Steffy Forrester ? Little Steffy Forrester s causing a problem in your marriage ?
Jackie : She s just much too involved with my husband . That s all .
Nick : She s a kid .
Jackie : ( Scoffs ) She s not that much younger than he is .
Nick : Well , even if she has a crush on Owen , it does nt mean she has to be a threat to your marriage , Mother .
Jackie : ( Scoffs ) I just wish that Owen could see all of this from my perspective , like you do , like Whip does .
Nick : Like Whip does . You ve been discussing this with Whip ?
Jackie : Well , yes . He s my friend .
Nick : I imagine Owen could say the same thing about Steffy .
Katie : It was your father s dying wish for you to take over Forrester Creations , to crush Eric into the ground and go after my sisters by any means possible . I mean ... you ve told me over and over again that -- that -- that this is who you are . You re the bad guy . You ca nt blame me for questioning your motives . You are this close to having Forrester Creations . You swore you d be straight with me .
Bill : I have been .
Katie : Well , you -- you have nt told me about this .
Bill : Katie , it -- but-- it would have just confused everything . It has confused everything .
Katie : Maybe it s made things a whole lot clearer .
Bill : Do nt do this , Katie .
Katie : ( Sighs )
Owen : Jackie ?
Nick : She left . She got tired of waiting for you .
Owen : Listen , about that , uh--
Nick : Listen , you take that up with her . Boat keys .
Owen : Look , I ll drop them by your office before I leave , after I find Jackie .
Nick : Put em on my desk next to Bridget s sketches .
Owen : God .
Nick : You did find the sketches on my boat ?
Owen : Yeah , I did , but I-- look , I forgot to bring them .
Nick : That s why I sent you out there .
Owen : Look , I know . And I can explain , all right ? I--
Nick : Good . Owe I took the boat out .
Nick : You took my boat out on the marina ? Do you know anything about boats ?
Owen : No , I do nt , but Steffy does , and Bridget told her she could take it out anytime she wanted .
Nick : Let me get this straight . You left work , and you went for a joyride on my boat without asking me if it s okay . What about this seems right to you ? And what s going on with you and Steffy Forrester ?
Steffy : Hi , Mom .
Taylor : Oh , my God . What happened ? What s going on ?
Steffy : Noth-- no , no , it s just a bump . It s nothing .
Taylor : Well , no , it s obviously serious enough- that you had to call me to come pick you up .
Steffy : No . I do nt have my car . I came here with Owen .
Taylor : He just left you here ?
Steffy : No , he had to go to work .
Taylor : That was nt very thoughtful , Steffy .
Steffy : Are you kidding me ? Owen Knight is my hero .
Owen : Listen , there is nothing going on with Steffy and me .
Nick : I have a feeling my mother s gon na wonder how you wound up on my boat with her .
Owen : Well , then she should be the one asking me .
Nick : She thinks Steffy has a thing for you . I do nt know . Maybe you have a thing for her .
Bill : You say you want honesty . But what you really want is more reassurance .
Katie : Can you blame me under the circumstances ?
Bill : You do nt know me very well , do you ? Because if you did , you would know that I would never do anything just because my father asked me to do it .
Katie : It was his dying wish .
Bill : And he had an ax to grind . I do nt .
Katie : Taking over Forrester s is nt personal for you ?
Bill : It would be if I were running it with you . Yes , Forrester Creations would be a - a crown jewel for Spencer , and I want it , but not as much as I want you . Katie , everything I ve told you is the truth . I have nt used you . I have nt lied to you . I ...
Bill : I love you . And that is not a word that I use often or easily . And I certainly would nt use it gain advantage in a business deal . You know what ? Um , that s not true . A few months ago , I - I would have . But not now and not with you . You want to know where I stand . You want to know-- you want to know how I feel about you . I ve told you . But sometimes words just do nt cut it .
Owen : Look , Nick , I love your mother .
Nick : Good , cause I think she s been wondering about that .
Jackie : ( Gasps ) Well , there you are .
Nick : Oh , lucky you . You get to spend some quality time with your wife . Mother .
Jackie : ( Chuckles ) Where were you ? You missed our meeting .
Owen : Listen , I know , and I m sorry .
Jackie : ( Chuckles ) Nick said he sent you on an errand ?
Owen : Yeah , I - I had to go to the boat . Bridget left some sketches there , and I went to go pick them op .
Jackie : You were gone a long time .
Owen : Look , I know . And listen , Jackie , something happened today , something that I want you to know about .
Jackie : Really ? About what ?
Owen : Look , about Steffy and me and -- and the boat and--
Jackie : You were with Steffy ?
Owen : Yes , I - I was with her most of the afternoon , and we were out on Nick s boat .
Jackie : And , um , you something happened that you want me to know about ?
Owen : Listen , Jackie , Steffy fell and she hit her head .
Jackie : Is she all right ?
Owen : Yeah , she s -- she s fine .
Jackie : Oh , God . Good . So what do you want me to know about then ?
Owen : Look , I - I do nt know . I mean , I m -- I do nt know . I m just still trying to put this whole thing together . I - I mean , she -- she falls into the water , and she -- she hits her head , and- and she s unconscious , and I dive in , and I - I pulled her out , and she was nt breathing , and -- and I had to give her CPR , and I guess -- I guess I b -- I brought her back .
Jackie : Are you telling me that you saved her life ?
Owen : I do nt know . I mean , I -- yeah , I guess that I - I did save her life . And it was -- my God , it was -- it was incredible . I mean , Ive -- I do nt know . I ve got this-- this beautiful woman just lying there in my arms , and she s unresponsive and motionless , and -- and if I do nt do anything , then she s gon na die . And I was-- I was breathing for her , and I was sitting there begging for her to live . And finally , she-- she takes a breath , and she starts to breathe .
Jackie : ( Laughs ) She started to breathe , that must have been a wonderful moment for you , because I know how much you care about Steffy .
Owen : Yeah , I do care about her .
Jackie : And now you ve saved her life . That s a very powerful bond between the two of you now .
Owen : I know what you mean , it s -- it s like when something like happens , it-- it -- it gets you thinking .
Jackie : Yeah . It brings everything into perspective .
Owen : Yeah , exactly .
Jackie : Yeah .
Owen : I mean , I m -- I m out there , and I m on this -- this boat , and the sun is hot , and the water is-- is crystal clear , and it s -- it s beautiful . Sure it s --I mean , it s Paradise Cove , and it s -- it is paradise . And I ve got this-- this beautiful young girl just lying there in my arms , and she s so vulnerable , and she s looking up to me , and she s feeling as if she owes her life to me .
Jackie : Exciting . Steffy is very tempting is nt she ?
Owen : I dont-- I do nt think it s like that -- No , I do nt think so . Things are beginning to be so much clearer right now , and I m seeing things .
Jackie : Yeah . ( Sniffles ) Yeah . What are you seeing ?
Owen : It just makes you realize how fragile and -- and fleeting that life can be . I - I mean , my God , I almost lost Steffy . I almost lost her .
Jackie : ( Sniffles )
Owen : I mean , but what if-- what if I really lost you , the one woman who means everything in the world to me ? That s what this was about today-- how ridiculous I ve been . I mean , being all hung up on something that happened with you in your past that was so long ago and letting that come between us when God knows how much longer we even have , Jackie . I mean , how stupid it is to -- to dwell on something in the past for another minute when all we have now is what is . And what is for me , it is loving you .
Jackie : Oh .
Owen : It s loving you . That s what I learned today on this boat . I do nt want to judge you . I do nt want to doubt you . I do nt want to question what we have ever again . I do nt . So can you forgive me for being such a fool ? And can you love me again ?
Jackie : ( Sighs ) Yes . Yes . Yes .
Jackie : Oh , yes .
Owen : Good . Mmm .
Katie : Mm .
Bill : Is that enough reassurance for ya ?
Katie : For now .
Bill : ( Chuckles )
Katie : ( Giggles )
Bill : Anytime you need more reassurance , I m here .
Katie : You and me both .
Bill : Does that mean you re staying ?
Katie : I m sorry . Did nt I just make that clear ?
Bill : You have nt apologized yet .
Katie : Really ?
Bill : Mm - hmm .
Katie : Okay . I m -- I m sorry I doubted you . But you have to understand how it l--
Bill : Never again .
Katie : Bill , you have to understand that it--
Bill : Katie .
Katie : Never again .
Bill : Because I ll never give you reason to . And if we re gon na do this , we have to trust each other .
Katie : Since when did you become such an expert at shacking up ?
Bill : ( Laughs ) Well , I did some asking around , and it seems to be that , uh , honesty is kind of important in these things .
Katie : ( Laughs ) Yeah , I read that somewhere . It s important to me .
Bill : Obviously . Oh !
Katie : ( Laughs )
Bill : You re gon na regret that .
Katie : I am ?
Bill : Yeah , you are .
Katie : ( Gasps ) Ooh . I love presents . Oh , my gosh . They re gorgeous . They re beautiful . They re perfect .
Bill : Just like you .
Katie : Thank you . You keep surprising me .
Bill : Well , you better hang on , sweetheart . You re riding the Dollar Bill express .
Katie : ( Laughs )

Jennifer : Thank you . [ Sniffles ] Thank you for not giving up on me . Thank you so much .
Lucas : Redecorating ?
Jennifer : God knows what I broke . I - I do nt even want to look .
Lucas : Looking for your stash .
Jennifer : Hid it in that curtain . I taped it ... top of the valance . Hid it in the desk drawers . Hid it in the pillows . I hid it everywhere in this house .
Lucas : Yeah ... because ... if it were handy , you would nt have to work to find it , right ? Would nt have to waste that time . It s an old trick to make you think like you re in control , running things , but you re just running . You ran out of pills , right ?
Jennifer : I d thrown them all out ... before .
Lucas : Did you dig them out of the trash ?
Jennifer : Not this time , no . I - I meant it .
Lucas : Why ? Why now ?
Jennifer : I had gotten through this ... whole thing with JJ . You know , I ... I really thought I was gon na lose him , Lucas . In the hospital , they got a handle on that virus , and then ... before that , I went to see Abigail . Only , when I got there , she ... she did nt want to see me ... or her child or her husband . She s just slipping away , Lucas . Oh !
Lucas : Careful , Jenn . Careful . Go slow , okay ? Go slow . Sorry .
Jennifer : Gosh .
Lucas : Better ?
Jennifer : [ Inhales deeply ] It is so hard to see my baby girl like that . And Chad -- he is ... he s crushed , and he is worn out . So I offered to take Thomas for the night .
Lucas : Mm - hmm .
Jennifer : And -- and Chad told me that I could nt . He refused to let me , and he made up all these kinds of excuses , and ... then he finally told me that he did nt trust me ... that he was afraid ... for my grandson to spend the night with me . He considered me a danger ... to my grandson . I m a danger to my grandson ? A danger to my grandson , Lucas .
Lucas : I know . I know . That would make me want to drink .
Jennifer : Exactly .
Lucas : Well , you did nt take anything , did you ?
Jennifer : I did nt . I swear to you that is the truth . I did nt .
Lucas : Good . That s a good thing .
Jennifer : I took every pill , I took every , every ... bit that I had in this house , and I flushed it down the toilet . And I know you re not supposed to do that . I know that it s bad for the environment and all that , but if I would ve put those in the trash , Lucas , you know I would--
Lucas : I know . Shh . It s all right . You did what you had to do . You did what you thought was right . It s okay . Do nt worry about it . The important thing is , is the pills are gone . They re gone now , right ? Problem solved .
Jennifer : [ Scoffs ] Yeah . Yeah , problem solved . [ Exhales sharply ] [ Snaps cap on bottle ] I do nt need it . I do nt . I am in severe pain . I mean , I ca nt even ... get through the night . Can-- no , I - I do nt know ... the doctor that s on call , and he would nt even know my case . I - I ... okay , no , that s -- that s fine . That s fine . You do nt even need to give me an entire prescription . I just need a couple of pills , and in the morning , I can just call-- no , that s fine ! I ll just take my business to another pharmacy ! Thank you for nothing !
Jennifer : I m glad you find this so funny .
Lucas : It really is nt funny , Jenn , but they know all the tricks . They ve heard it all before .
Jennifer : So this pharmacist is listening to me and thinking that I m -- I m some ... dumb junkie ? Oh , God . But you know what s worse ? I - I do nt even care . Really , because ... if he would ve given me those pills ...
Lucas : Yeah , you would ve done anything .
Jennifer : Yeah . So what does that make me ?
Lucas : I do nt know . You tell me .
Jennifer : [ Whimpering ] Aah ! Aah ! Aah ! Ah ! Where is it ? Where ? [ Crying ] [ Breathing shakily ] Oh , God . [ Sniffles ] [ Sobs ]
Jennifer : Hi . [ Crying ] I - I need help . I need help .
Lucas : See , it s all right , you know ? You -- youve done enough for tonight . You ve done the hardest thing . Youve -- youve said no to the pills ... mostly . You called me over to help you , and -- and I promise I ll help you . I ll never , you know , let you deal with this alone again . [ Sighs ]
Jennifer : I thought that I could handle this . I did .
Lucas : We all think that .
Jennifer : Who s we ? Junkies ? I-- [ Sobs ]
Lucas : Is that what you think of me ?
Jennifer : No . No , that was mean , Lucas .
Lucas : Well , yeah , it was , and you should nt think of yourself like that either . I mean , dont -- dont take that kind of tone of voice . It s a disease . I m an addict . I have a disease . Would you use that tone if you were talking about a diabetic or something ?
Jennifer : No , of course not .
Lucas : Well , then just think of it that way .
Jennifer : I m just-- I m just tired . I am so unbelievably tired ... [ Sniffles ] To the bone .
Lucas : You probably have nt slept very good at all .
Jennifer : The pills mellow me out .
Lucas : I know . Booze did the same thing for me . It s kind of a shallow dive , you know ? It s not good sleep . It s not the kind of sleep you need . I mean , you had to have noticed that , right ?
Jennifer : I do nt know . Maybe . I mean , I - I do nt know how to do this , Lucas . I did nt just take those pills for fun , you know . I m in pain ... okay ? So they-- they had a purpose .
Lucas : Right . They had a purpose , Jenn , but not anymore . It s turned into something else now .
Jennifer : I m still in pain .
Lucas : It s kind of a bigger challenge for you right now .
Jennifer : Yes , right . So maybe that means I do nt have to stop taking the pills entirely . I just have to be much better at controlling them , that s all .
Lucas : You know , I think it s best if we get Maggie involved with this . Maggie has dealt with a lot of physical pain since her accident .
Jennifer : How , Lucas ?
Lucas : I do nt know . I do nt know . We can ask her that . There s a meeting at St. Luke s at 6 : 00 A.M. , Bright and early .
Jennifer : [ Scoffs ] Okay , a meeting . A meeting ?
Lucas : Yeah .
Jennifer : You think that is gon na take away my pain ? You think a meeting is gon na solve my life , Lucas ? A meeting ?
Lucas : I think you re gon na solve your life , and you re gon na figure out how to manage your pain , but you ca nt do that alone . This is the only way , Jenn .
Jennifer : The only way ? You re telling me the only way in the whole wide world that people solve their problems is going to a meeting ?
Lucas : It s the only way that worked for me .
Jennifer : I know that it changed your life .
Lucas : Yes . Yes , it did .
Jennifer : 6 : 00 ?
Lucas : Yeah , 6 : 00 . What s that ? That s four hours . That s nothing . We can do that .
Jennifer : Right , says you .
Lucas : Yeah , yeah , that s right -- says me . And you know what ? I m not going anywhere . I am not gon na let you deal with this alone anymore . Never again .
Lucas : What ? What is it ? What are you feeling ?
Jennifer : [ Shudders ] Just ... I feel stupid . And I feel weak , and I feel ashamed . [ Sniffles ]
Lucas : Wait a minute . All this started because of your car accident , right ? There was never any indication that you had a substance - abuse problem before this .
Jennifer : No . No .
Lucas : So why do nt we lose stupid , weak , and ashamed ? Because this could happen to anybody , Jenn .
Jennifer : I know that . I know . Oh , I remember when Carly was ... addicted to prescription drugs . I was so shocked , cause she was so strong and so together and ... I do nt know . I did nt judge her . I just ...
Lucas : No , you did nt judge her . Y - you judged yourself , though , did nt you ? I mean , listen to what you just said about yourself . I mean , who would nt crawl into a bottle to get away from feelings like that ?
Jennifer : You are so ...
Lucas : I m so what ?
Jennifer : You re so ... not smart .
Lucas : [ Chuckles ] I m not smart ?
Jennifer : No .
Lucas : [ Laughs ] Okay .
Jennifer : But you re just so wise .
Lucas : That s what going to meetings will do for you .
Jennifer : Oh , Lucas , I told you I was gon na go . I told you that already .
Lucas : I know . I m just saying .
Jennifer : What time is it ?
Lucas : We have time . I mean , we have ... we have a couple hours . Why do nt you just try to get some sleep ? You did nt take anything , so you have a chance to get some real sleep for once .
Jennifer : You re not gon na leave me , right ?
Lucas : No , I m not going anywhere . I ll be right here .
Jennifer : [ Sighs ]
Lucas : Try to get some sleep , and I ll , um ... I ll clean up quietly , okay ?
Jennifer : [ Breathes deeply ]
Abigail : Mom ! Mom , where are you ?
Jennifer : I m right here . Abigail . Oh ! Oh , you re here .
Abigail : Yeah , I m here .
Jennifer : Yeah .
Abigail : I m here , mom . Where s my son ? Where s Thomas ?
Jennifer : The baby ?
Abigail : Yes , my son , who you were supposed to be watching .
Jennifer : Oh , I took a nap .
Abigail : You took a nap ?
Jennifer : No . No , no , Thomas ... Thomas ...
Abigail : He was in the driveway .
Jennifer : What ?
Abigail : He was in the driveway , crawling around all alone by himself . Chad said he left him with you so that he could come and pick me up , and you said you could take care of him .
Jennifer : Yes , I did . I - I did . I--
Abigail : Do nt . Please do nt , mom ! No , just do nt even . I ca nt even ...
Jennifer : Please , do nt be upset and -- and do nt worry . Please do nt worry .
Abigail : No , I m not worried , mom , because I m here now , and I can take care of my son myself . I just came in to say good - bye .
Jennifer : What ? Abigail , what are you-- what ?
Abigail : You re not here . I needed you , Mom . [ Crying ] I needed you ! Where were you ? You of all people , you should ve understood what I was going through . You should ve understood what was happening to me . Where were you ? Do you think we do nt know ? Why do you think JJ is where he is ?
Jennifer : Where s JJ ?
Abigail : You do nt even know . Do nt worry about it , mom . Just stay here with your buddies .
Jennifer : Abigail , where s j-- Abigail !
Abigail : No ! Do nt .
JJ : Are nt you gon na share ?
Jennifer : What are you doing here ?
JJ : That s what I was gon na ask you . I told the cops not to call you .
Jennifer : Why ?
JJ : Because it s possession with intent . Look , with -- with my record , there s no fighting it , so ... share .
Jennifer : What ?
JJ : Oh , come on , mom , I saw the pill bottle . Look , I - I might be here a long time .
Jennifer : No , no , JJ , this is nt right . You ca nt throw away your life on drugs . You ca nt do that .
JJ : What , so you re the only one who gets to do that ?
Jennifer : That s -- that s not what s happening here .
JJ : Look , mom , they say-- mom , they say it runs in families , so at least I came by it honestly .
Jennifer : No , no , I m not gon na let you do that . I m not gon na let you throw your life away .
JJ : Oh , great . So now just suddenly you want to help me ? Dad dies , and you leave me in a boarding school half a world away .
Jennifer : No , JJ , you -- you wanted to be there .
JJ : No , you needed to get your life together , so ... looks like you re on the right track too . Time to go .
Jennifer : Wait . What happened to my son ? Back to your cell .
Jennifer : No , you do nt understand . I do nt belong in prison .
Jack : That s exactly where you put yourself .
Jennifer : [ Shuddering ]
Lucas : Yeah , she s asleep now , but I do nt think she s gon na sleep through the night . You -- you know , I think that s a great idea . I think the more family she has here , the better when she wakes up . [ Whispering ] All right , I ll see you soon .
Jennifer : How ... what are you doing here ?
Jack : Taking you back to your cell .
Jennifer : I did nt break the law , and you are not--
Jack : Your jailer ? You so sure about that ?
Jennifer : I m not ...
Jack : Locked up ... cut off from life . Look at you . When is the last time you laughed ? Really laughed ? Ran a good scam working a source for a story ? When is the last time you rode on a fire truck against your will ... and played a little shipboard truth or dare ? Have you forgotten ?
Jennifer : Jack , do you want to give me that ring or not ?
Jack : This would probably look better in its natural setting--
Jennifer : I think it would look better if it was on my finger .
Jack : You probably would like to think about that . I mean ... it could cut you . You do nt want to think about that ?
Jennifer : No . I want you to put it on my finger .
Jack : Right , give you a chance to think about it . Something about--
Jennifer : Now , that was nt so bad , was it ?
Jack : No , no , I guess it was nt .
Jennifer : This is the sweetest thing anyone s ever done for me .
Jack : Not to mention the coldest . [ Shivers ]
Jennifer : I love the snow people , Jack . I really do ... [ Breathing heavily ] But not nearly as much as I love you .
Jack : Where s the girl that grabbed all the fun to be had ?
Jennifer : [ Scoffs ] She stayed here ... and raised a family , because you ran off . That girl died when you died , and you took her with you .
Jennifer : [ Scoffs ]
Jack : The dying part was totally not my idea . But I came back ... home for good .
Jennifer : Maybe .
Jack : Finally .
Jennifer : How could you do it , Jack ? We had gotten used to you being gone . That s -- that s -- you always left . I knew that . I knew that I had to be the strong one . And I had to raise our kids because I was it . I was the only one that they could count on . So , yeah , the fun girl -- the fun girl that disappeared ... I missed her too .
Jack : But I came back ... for good .
Jennifer : Yeah , that s what you said . And you convinced me . And finally , finally I thought , this is our time . We are gon na have our -- our second act . And this time ... we were not gon na be stupid , and we were not gon na hold back our feelings , and we were just gon na be ...
Jack : Together .
Jennifer : Yeah .
Jack : Finally .
Jennifer : Yeah .
Jack : One heart . We were . Jennifer , we were . It was all right there , was nt it ? [ Chuckles ] I loved you completely . I kept nothing back . Did nt you feel that ?
Jennifer : Yeah , I did . I did , and then you were gone .
Jack : Which was worse . It was worse than if I d never come back at all .
Jennifer : No , no , that s not what I m saying . I m not saying that . I am so glad for the months that we had .
Jack : Months ? You deserved years .
Jennifer : So did you .
Jack : It s the quiet , is nt it ? The house .
Jennifer : Oh ... my parents house ... my grandparents . So many ghosts in that house , Jack , so many expectations , so much space . You know , our kids are grown . They have lives . They -- they have -- they have partners . I would love to think that they still need me , but they do nt . And once you were gone , even before you died , it was always about just making things really good for our kids . And now they re gone . And you re gone . So I feel like I m gone .
Jack : What does that mean ?
Jennifer : Jack , it s been such a long time since I did nt have a title-- Abigail s mom , JJ s mom , Jack s wife , tom and Alice s granddaughter , Maggie s niece . I have all these labels hanging around my neck . But in the end ... I m alone .
Jack : Ugly truth ? Everybody is .
Jennifer : No . No , not like this , Jack .
Jack : Not here like this ... but you d be surprised how much company you have .
Jennifer : Why are you here ?
Jack : Because ... I remember the Jennifer rose Horton that I met ... who s still very much inside . And I know the terror of the blank page and the looming deadline .
Jennifer : [ Chuckles ] Wait . I have a deadline ?
Jack : Oh - ho - ho , we all do . You just do nt get to know when it is . So ... seize it . Jennifer , carpe something . I m gone . The kids are gone . You re free . It s one way to look at it . You re a blank page now . And you re the author . You can make it ... make yourself whatever you want now .
Jennifer : But I do nt know what that is . I do nt even know what to want .
Jack : Find your first sentence ... introduce your subject , and keep going . Pretend you re a feature at the spectator . Find your first sentence . And I know you . Once you get started , you just fill the whole thing .
Jack : And before you know it , you ll have the whole story . How does that sound ?
Jennifer : It sounds tiring . No , it sounds really tiring . [ Sniffles ]
Jack : You do nt need those . You may think they help ... but they ll just wear you out . If you need help ... it is all around you . All your family ... living and gone ... they re all right there .
Jennifer : Aah ! [ Gasps ]
Julie : Darling . We re here . It s all right .
Jennifer : [ Sobs ]
Julie : We heard you were having a rough night .
Jennifer : I am so embarrassed .
Doug : Oh , hush with that .
Julie : Lucas , how long till that meeting ?
Lucas : Uh , we got about three hours .
Julie : Three hours ... that s a piece of cake .
Jennifer : [ Cries ]
Julie : Should nt we be doing something ?
Lucas : I mean , we are . We re here . I think that s -- that s all we can do , is help her .

Julie : How many times have I done this ?
Jennifer : It s been a while .

Lucas : I , uh -- I made some calls .
Jennifer : Thank you .
Lucas : Come on .
Jennifer : Okay , just -- just tell me how this works . I dont--
Lucas : It s pretty simple . All you got to do is sit and listen and watch , and ... when you feel like saying something , you take a turn . You ll get the hang of it , okay ? Come on .
Jennifer : Excuse me . Oh .
Lucas : Come on , come on , it s -- it s okay . Sit right there . Okay .
Maggie : God , grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change ... and the courage to change the things that I can ... and the wisdom to know the difference . Amen .
Jennifer : Amen .
Lucas : You know , I - I could count in years ... but I know better . It s days . You have to count in days . And now , mostly , I dont-- I do nt dread those days . I m grateful .
Maggie : Would anyone else like to speak ?

### Dialogue:
Liam : I love you .
Hope : I love you , too .
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Hope : Is -- is this real , you -- you and Steffy are over ?
Liam : I could nt let another day go by . I had to end it . I want to spend the rest of my life with you , starting right now .
Hope : ( Chuckles )
Brooke : Someone looks especially happy .
Hope : Someone is ecstatic today !
Brooke : ( Laughs )
Hope : It s rally happening , Mom .
Brooke : Ohh . Oh , honey .
Hope : Liam and I are back together .
Brooke : I m so delighted for you . It s been a long haul .
Hope : It has ...
Brooke : Mm - hmm .
Hope : And it has been worth every second to get to this point . I ca nt imagine Ridge is too thrilled .
Brooke : Uh , his first concern is ... Steffy .
Steffy : Dad . ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) You know .
Ridge : Hope called Brooke last night .
Steffy : Of course she did . Probably could nt wait .
Ridge : How are you ?
Steffy : ( Takes deep breath ) I m good .
Ridge : How are you , really ?
Steffy : We were happy , you know . There was nothing fake about my marriage .
Ridge : I m so sorry that things did nt work out between you and Liam . I honestly thought they would . ( Sighs ) He disappoints me .
Steffy : No , Dad , you know what ? Please , just ... do nt be hard on Liam . The situation s much more complicated than it looks .
Ridge : Then there must be something you re not telling me . Now would be a good time .
Liam : That was fast .
Justin : Yeah , I had to pull in a couple of favors to expedite , but I told you I d get it done . So all I need you to do is sign , and I will be headed over to Forrester .
Liam : That s -- that s good . I mean , that s -- that s good . I mean , it -- you know , that you re going and not some anonymous processor that does nt care that Steffy s in pain .
Justin : Yeah . ( Sighs )
Liam : Wow , so this is it . So I just -- I--
Justin : Yeah .
Liam : I mean , I sign here , and then , my marriage never happened .
Justin : Well , that s the idea , unless you re getting second thoughts .
Liam : No . No , Hope and I have lost enough time already .
Justin : Oh , wow .
Liam : ( Chuckles )
Justin : Your father , he is not gon na be happy about this .
Liam : Oh , you know what ? He s gon na have to adjust .
Justin : Uh ...
Liam : I mean , I m the one making the decisions for my own life , not him , not anymore . ( Scoffs )
Justin : Okay . So what s next ?
Liam : What s next is , uh ...
Justin : Mm - hmm .
Liam : Hope and I get married as soon as possible .
Justin : Okay , then , sign here . Get a pen .
Liam : Okay , yeah , uh ...
Justin : ( Clears throat )
Liam : Okay .
Justin : Mm - hmm .
Liam : Hey , Justin , how long until the annulment is official ?
Justin : Uh , you know , uh--
Taylor : What ? You re serving Steffy with annulment papers today ?
Hope : ( Sighs ) ( aristocratic accent ) Mom , he actually carried me over the threshold .
Brooke : Ohh . Très romantique .
Hope : ( Normal voice ) I know . ( Chuckles ) God , Mom , I love him so much , and I never lost sight of that or -- or how much I - I knew he loved me . It s just things got so off track , and I really thought that I had lost him .
Brooke : It was very concerning when you started to question everything that you believed in .
Hope : Momentary setback , but I know now that it was right to stay true to myself , to my morals and my principles , because it -- it really does pay off . I mean , look , I am proof , right here , right now .
Brooke : ( Chuckles )
Hope : I have everything that I ve ever wanted .
Brooke : ( Chuckles )
Steffy : What makes you think I m keeping secrets ?
Ridge : Oh , just something a little evasive in your eyes .
Steffy : Yeah , I just ... ( Sighs ) I have a lot going on , thoughts colliding in my head .
Ridge : I m here to listen , if that s what you need .
Steffy : You are , are nt you ?
Ridge : Better late than never .
Steffy : Hey , do nt start talkin smack about my dad , all right ?
Ridge : Sweetheart , convince me that you re all right .
Steffy : Well , I m not dancing on the ceiling . ( Sighs ) Things are nt great . There s a real possibility that I might end up losing Liam to Hope for a while . But I guess I just have to learn the art of patience .
Ridge : I would nt want to see you put you life on hold for a man who may never come back .
Steffy : He will . I just have to wait Hope out . You ll see , Dad . Liam and I , we will be together .
Taylor : Why rush to dump Steffy ?
Liam : I m not dumping her .
Taylor : What do you call it ?
Liam : I m ending my marriage
Taylor : So you can be with Hope ?
Liam : Yes .
Taylor : Do Steffy s feelings have any consideration at all in this ?
Liam : Yeah , hey , Taylor , the last thing I want to be doing right now is hurt Steffy .
Taylor : Then do nt do this ... ( Sighs ) because I guarantee you , annulling this marriage will hurt .
Liam : I m sorry . I choose Hope .
Taylor : I do nt deny that Steffy s made some mistakes . You both have .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Taylor : But that s -- you know , that s part of marriage .
Liam : ( Sighs )
Taylor : That s part of learning how to make it work . You just do nt ... ( Sighs ) invalidate a marriage because it s -- it s getting a little bit rough . You need to try to work on it . Give it some time , Liam . Try some counseling . If you love Steffy the way you told me you do , then why would you want to break her heart ?
Brooke : Has anybody talked to Steffy since she left Liam s ?
Hope : I have nt .
Brooke : Do you think she s coming in ?
Hope : I do nt know . I - I feel like I should apologize to her or something .
Brooke : Honey , you did nt do anything wrong .
Hope : It s -- it s just-- I mean , Steffy and I are so estranged , and I - I do nt think that that s gon na be put behind us anytime soon ... especially because I asked Liam to get an annulment . We just -- we want to get married as soon as possible .
Brooke : So what are you gon na do ? Are you gon na have a real wedding , or are you gon na elope to Vegas and have , uh ...
Hope : Oh .
Brooke : ( Laughing ) Elvis or James Brown marry you ?
Hope : ( Sighs ) Oh , well , I had nt thought of that , but now that you mention it ... ( Laughs )
Brooke : So ... what are you thinking ?
Hope : Oh , just something quiet and meaningful-- me in a white dress , Liam in a tux , saying our vows before God and the people who matter to us ... in my mother s house , if that s okay with you ?
Brooke : What ? ( Giggles ) Yes !
Hope : Yeah ?
Brooke : Yes , of course . I would love that . ( Sighs ) Ohh . You are going to be the most beautiful bride .
Hope : Bride ? I m getting married ! ( Laughs )
Brooke : ( Laughs ) Yes , you are ! I ca nt believe it !
Hope : Ohh !
Brooke : It s happening ! Ohh , you certainly are .
Hope : ( Laughs )
Brooke : Oh , honey .
Hope : Oh , Mom ! ( Laughs )
Brooke : ( Laughs )
Ridge : No one wanted to see your marriage work out more than I did . ( Sighs ) I could see how happy Liam made you , how in love you were .
Steffy : I - I still love him , Dad .
Ridge : But you got ta look beyond . You ve got a lot more options out there open to you than Liam Spencer .
Steffy : Do nt blame Liam for the mess that I made , okay ? ( Sighs ) Look , you know when-- when you re so afraid of something , it s like you do everything in your power to make sure it happens ?
Ridge : It s called self - fulfilling prophecy .
Steffy : Yes . Yeah , it was like I was so terrified of being abandoned , I just .. ( Scoffs ) I practically pushed Liam out the door . I mean , wh - what is-- what is with that ?
Ridge : Yeah , well , that s me , not being the perfect father .
Steffy : Oh , there you go . Dad , lighten up on yourself . These are my issues , and I let them drive Liam straight back to Hope . At least I realize now it s just as well .
Ridge : How s that ?
Steffy : Their unfinished business . Liam and Hope , they wo nt be able to move , unless they work through all their things . And once they do , Liam will come right back to me . In the meantime ... ( Sighs ) There s always work-- at my job , on myself . Steffy 2.0 coming up , new and improved . Just you wait . And I have so much work to do . Oy .
Liam : Taylor , this does nt mean that I do nt love Steffy .
Taylor : Then why do nt you act like it ? Do nt toss her aside !
Liam : Okay , I do nt expect you to understand this , but I need to be with Hope now .
Taylor : And Steffy is just part of the collateral damage ?
Liam : I do nt know what else to say to you .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Give these to Andy in the cutting room , please .
Man : Okay . All right .
Brooke : Thanks .
Taylor : Is Ridge around ? ( Sighs )
Brooke : Whoa . You look shot out of a cannon .
Taylor : Liam s about to hit Steffy with annulment papers !
Brooke : Oh .
Taylor : Well , you do nt seem the least bit surprised .
Brooke : No , I knew it could possibly happen .
Taylor : Oh , of course you did . Yes . That s what the Logans are all about-- winning .
Brooke : No , Taylor . Liam loved Hope first , and then Steffy intervened for a while .
Taylor : Oh . And -- and now he s just come back to his senses .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) I did nt say that , but okay .
Taylor : Oh , yeah , sort of like Ridge , when he remarried me that-- or well , he almost did . You know , I m -- I m sorry , but you ll have to excuse me . I sound a little disconcerted , because I see my daughter falling into the same vortex that I ve been in .
Brooke : No , I know . I know . I mean , who would have thought that our girls would grow up and fall in love with the same man ?
Taylor : Oh ... ( Exhales quickly , chuckles ) it s like a big cosmic joke ...
Brooke : Where nobody gets the last laugh .
Liam : I ve been expecting you .
Ridge : I ll bet .
Liam : ( Chuckles ) Taylor was just here . I m starting to think it s becoming a trend . If you want to yell , you know , go ahead .
Ridge : I d be justified .
Liam : Yeah .
Ridge : But something tells me it would nt do any good .
Liam : No .
Ridge : You re with Hope now ?
Liam : Yes .
Ridge : That decision is final ?
Liam : It is .
Ridge : ( Inhales deeply ) ( Sighs ) Then I have to respect that ... or take the prize for being the biggest hypocrite around .
Hope : You re here .
Steffy : I work here ... unless you know something I do nt .
Hope : Usually , it s the other way around . ( Sighs ) All right , look , Steffy , all cards on the table right now . I m not sorry that I am back with Liam . In fact , I m over the moon about it . But I am sorry that it had to come at your expense .
Steffy : I appreciate that . I messed up . If I had been honest in my marriage , he would nt be with you .
Hope : But he would , Steffy . That s the point . Liam and I belong together . And I know that you ve never respected that , but there it is .
Steffy : Right . And my marriage is but a speed bump on the road to true love .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Steffy : Do nt kid yourself . What Liam and I have is real .
Hope : I know that he still has feelings for you .
Steffy : He loves me .
Hope : Granted . Even so , it s over between the two of you , so it s time for you to let go .
Steffy : That s just not gon na happen .
Justin : Oh , sorry to interrupt . Uh ... got a minute ?
Steffy : Yes . Sure . Come on in .
Justin : Liam wanted me to give this to you right away .
Liam : I want you to understand that I loved being married to Steffy . I mean , this decision was not easy for me , but Hope and I deserve our chance .
Ridge : And if it does nt work ?
Liam : Then we ll deal .
Ridge : That s about all you can do .
Liam : ( Laughs ) Yeah . Yeah , says the voice of experience .
Ridge : You d be wise to heed it .
Liam : I know . Ridge , I ca nt give you what you want .
Ridge : I m not asking , Liam . I might have intended when I walked through the door , but I see something in you that s all - too familiar-- a man very much in love with two very different women . And no one knows better , that is not an easy place to be .
Steffy : Is this Bill s doing ?
Justin : Bill ? No , he does nt know anything about it .
Steffy : Neither do I. Liam and I , we never discussed an annulment . Why would we ? It basically wipes out our marriage . So you need to tell me what s really going on .
Justin : Steffy , I ... it is what it is . I m sorry , but Liam wants an annulment . He wants to move on with his life . He , um ... take your time . Call me on my cell when you ve signed it .
Steffy : ( Voice cracks ) He would nt hurt me like this .
Hope : That was never his intention .
Steffy : ( Sniffling ) ( normal voice ) Wait a minute . ( Sniffles ) You pushed him to do this .
Hope : Look , Steffy , Liam and I have lost a lot of time ...
Steffy : ( Sniffles )
Hope : And we want to get married as soon as possible .
Steffy : No , you want to get married immediately , only I m in the way . My marriage is nt some kind of shameful thing , we re just gon na pretend like it never happened .
Hope : No , Steffy , no one is saying that .
Steffy : No , well , the papers do . That s what an annulment is . This is saying that my marriage is a mistake . Hope , my marriage never was , never will be a mistake . I mean , we were happy together . And now I m supposed to sign something that says none of it was real ? No ! ( Sighs )
Hope : Look , Steffy , I m really sorry that you re hurting right now , but Liam has made his intentions very clear . We want to get married ...
Steffy : ( Sniffles )
Hope : As soon as possible . Steffy , Liam has signed those papers . You should do the same .

Phyllis : Crystal .
Michael : All right . Let s review . You found out this damaging information about Brad and Sharon .
Phyllis : Yeah , um ... I overheard it .
Michael : In a public place ?
Nick : The athletic club .
Michael : And you told Brad that you overheard this information , correct ?
Phyllis : Uh ... yes . Yes , but--
Michael : No buts buts are bad . No buts . Uh , so , you told Brad , who desperately wanted to keep anyone else from finding out about his affair . Maybe he even sought your help in keeping things quiet . That is not extortion . That is ... a desperate , guilty , cheatin man in action .
Nick : ( Snaps ) that s good . He s good . What would you do if your best friend was nt a lawyer ?
Michael : All right , let s , uh , focus . Now , um ... nothing in writing ?
Phyllis : No , nothing .
Nick : More good news .
Phyllis : Yeah , uh , it would be , except for the waiter .
Michael : Waiter ? What waiter ?
Phyllis : Um ... I - I spoke to Brad and Sharon s room service waiter . Um , I kind of-- I kind of spoke to him . Just , you know , to soften the blow .
Michael : Mm - hmm . Dare I ask what you did with the information you gleaned from this encounter ?
Phyllis : I mentioned it to Brad .
Michael : Of course you did .
Nick : You threatened him ?
Phyllis : Is that bad ?
Michael : Yeah .
Kevin : Ooh !
Gloria : Do nt you dare touch those muffins . Not another step ! Do you have any idea how long it took me to bake those things for William ?
Kevin : Since when is buying muffins at Crimson Lights baking ?
Gloria : Since his first wife was a domestic goddess .
Kevin : Ah . So this is the new reality game show-- Baking for dollars ! Ka- ching ! Ka - ching !
Gloria : Do nt be so crude ! I want William for a lot more than his money .
Kevin : Yeah .
Gloria : That s why I printed out some of her old columns and she advocates cooking with all - natural ingredients .
Michael : Like arsenic ? Because your relationship with the prosecutor is nothing short of poisonous .
Gloria : Do nt you touch those things ! I think me giving William a basket of homemade muffins is a lovely gesture . Just because they re not baked in my home does nt make it a crime .
Michael : Unlike one that he is currently investigating .
Lauren : Honey , have you seen Bunny ? You know , Fen ca nt sleep without--
Michael : Oh , Bunny ! There he is .

Sharon : Good morning .
Jack : Good morning .
Sharon : May I ?
Jack : Absolutely .
Sharon : Jack ? I know you re upset , but I thought it would be better if you did nt know and that s the only reason why I did nt tell you . It s called plausible deniability .

Jack : Oh . Jack Abbott . Robert ! How you doing , my friend ? Well , I m just sitting here having breakfast with my beautiful bride . Yes , indeed . Oh , look , that s gon na blow over .

Brad : Okay , that s it . Time out .

Brad : She threatened to expose the extortion situation if I did nt file charges .
Phyllis : Yeah , thanks , Jack . Listen-- no , do nt worry about it . Michael s all over it . ( Doorbell rings )

Phyllis : Mm - hmm . We posted bail . Surprised ? By the way , when you see Brad-- which I m sure you will-- tell him thank you so much for making my wedding day so memorable .
Sharon : Mm - hmm .
Phyllis : Were you in on this ?
Sharon : Me ? What reason would I have to throw you under the bus , Phyllis ? Oh , you mean , because you let people think the worst of me when those photos came out ? When you could ve just said , Hey , I was there and that really was an accident !
Phyllis : Oh , so this is payback ?
Sharon : Well , you know , am I gloating a little ? Yes . But did I have anything to do with your being arrested ? No , you did that on your own .
Phyllis : Right .
Sharon : Honestly , I think that Noah has been through enough recently . And thanks to you , he ll have to go through more .
Phyllis : You re right . I m sorry .
Sharon : Not good enough . You did not care what this would do to Brad s marriage or to mine . You did nt care about Summer . You did nt care about Noah . Because if you had , you would ve thought about the consequences of this in the first place . And now you re stuck . Who s gon na raise your baby , Phyllis ? Grandma Nikki ?
Phyllis : That ca nt happen .
Sharon : Oh , yes , it can . And I hope you get exactly what you deserve .
Victor : You probably feel like your wife betrayed you .
Nick : Betrayed , hurt-- pick an adjective .
Victor : You want my advice ?
Nick : That s why I m here .
Victor : Whatever you do , make sure that your daughter is your priority . Therefore , Phyllis must not go to prison .
Nick : Agreed .
Victor : You and I are married to very volatile wives . Great times . But the downside is , that you got ta expect the unexpected .
Nick : Dad , Mom running for senate is unexpected .
Victor : Mm - hmm .
Nick : My wife going to prison is a total disaster .
Victor : I agree .
Nick : So what do you think we should do ?
Victor : You may not like what I have to suggest . I think she should plea bargain .
Nick : Dad , she d ... have to plead guilty .
Victor : That s right .
Nikki : I stand before you today both excited about Wisconsin s future and mindful of its rich history .
David : Drop the both .
Nikki : Okay . I stand before you today excited about Wisconsin s future and mindful of its rich history . I entered this race--
Victoria : Excuse us , David . Now .
David : I ll grab some coffee .
Victoria : When were you gon na tell me that you forced Brad to go to the police ?
Nikki : Well , I knew he would tell you .
Victoria : I m sorry , that -- that does nt sound like an explanation . And I m not hearing an apology for you dragging my marriage into your campaign .
Nikki : Honey , I am so sorry that your husband s infidelity got you in this mess .
Victoria : Mother ! Brad s affair is our business . It s not for you to make public to use in your-- your damned campaign !
Nikki : Look , I m new to this whole political game . You know I would do anything to protect you . But you have to think differently when you re a candidate .
Victoria : You threatened Brad ! You -- you gave him an either / or . What s the difference between that threat and what Phyllis did ?
Nikki : No , I did nt threaten him . I just urged him to do the right thing .
Victoria : Even when your daughter becomes so much collateral damage ? I find that disgusting !
Victoria : Do you remember what I told you I wanted to be when I grew up ?
Nikki : Of course . You wanted to be the president of the United States .
Victoria : And I wanted to be like you . But I do nt wanna be someone so callous .
Nikki : Sweetheart , I m so sorry this has hurt you . I love you . You know that . Do nt ever doubt it . Listen--
Victoria : That s all I keep hearing lately . Listen -- listen . I am so sick of people telling me to listen .
Nikki : Look , Brad s affair would ve come out anyway .
Victoria : That is so ridiculous ! It would nt have come out if you had nt of forced it out ! And do nt tell me-- do nt give me any nonsense about the heat of the campaign ! You knew what you did . You used me .
Nikki : No , I did nt ! I certainly did nt look at it that way . Phyllis pressured Brad , the way blackmailers do , and they never give up . I guarantee you she would ve tried again and again and again until this whole thing came out ! By going to the police , Brad became a victim , and you are his noble wife standing at his side , who incidentally has never been unfaithful . Honey , I thought about this long and hard . And I really believed I was doing the right thing . I know you do nt wanna hear this , but Brad is the problem here . And when the dust settles and you can think about this more rationally , I will help you find the best divorce attorney there is .
Will : Come in .
Gloria : I hope I m not interrupting .
Will : No . I do nt think a short break will stop the wheels of justice . Come in .
Gloria : Oh , and you re so busy , I doubt you take time for a good , nutritious breakfast , so I brought you something .
Will : Well , that was very thoughtful of you , Gloria . Thank you .
Gloria : You re very welcome .
Will : You made these ?
Gloria : Oh , just a little something I whipped up . Um , 100 % natural .
Will : Well , they look delicious .
Gloria : Thank you . So what are you working on ? Um , if I may be so bold .
Will : Uh , hazing at a college fraternity . Interesting case , but , uh , it s put me way behind on the Jabot thing . I know how important that is to you .
Gloria : Do nt you worry about that . I understand completely .
Will : I have started a list , though , of people that need to provide a D.N.A. sample .
Will : Sorry . I m sorry . I m gon na have to take this .
Gloria : I understand .
Will : Excuse me . William Bardwell . Uh - huh . Yeah .
Will : Sorry about that .
Gloria : Not to worry , Mr. Bardwell . You re busy and I have a job to get to . So enjoy the muffins .
Will : Wait a second . Do you have plans for lunch ?
Gloria : Well , I certainly do now .
Jack : So how goes it with the one - man wrecking crew ?
Brad : Just keeping an eye on my real estate portfolio .
Jack : Kinda hard to shout blackmail when you re profiting from it .
Brad : I m not worried .
Jack : Tell me something , Bradley . You claim to care a great deal about Sharon . You had to know this was gon na hurt her . What , revenge above friendship ?
Brad : Listen , Jacko , you may have Sharon fooled , but you and I both know your real concern is for your political campaign , not for your bride .
Jack : You re wrong .
Brad : Am I ?
Jack : Did Sharon do this with you ? Go to the police .
Brad : Why would she do that ?
Jack : I do nt know . I still do nt know why you would . But I m damn sure gon na find out .
Nick : Hey .
Victoria : Right now , you are the only member of our family that I can stand .
Nick : Thanks . You know what ? I m trying to figure out why ... why Brad did this . Where s the benefit for him ?
Victoria : Does anyone ever really know anyone ?
Nick : What do you mean ?
Victoria : You thought you knew Phyllis and look at what she did behind your back . I thought I knew Brad--
Nick : Oh , do nt get started on him .
Victoria : Well , here s a trick question . How well do you think you know Mom ?
Nick : Why ?
Victoria : She told Brad to press charges against your wife .
Nick : Who told you that ? Brad ?
Victoria : And she confirmed . She did it to benefit her campaign .
Nick : That is so sick .
Victoria : Yeah . Tell me about it .
Nick : Does Dad know ?
Victoria : If he did , we d all know about it .
Michael : I take it you called me here because you wanna discuss Phyllis .
Victor : Right .
Michael : And I ca nt . No more than I would discuss your personal legal dealings with her .
Victor : Okay , let me make this very clear to you . This case is affecting not only my company , but my family . So you must do everything in your power to make it go away .
Michael : Well , the person to convince is your son - in - law . If he tells the prosecutor not to go forward , the problem is gone .
Victor : I do not want to discuss this with my son - in - law .
Michael : Stop . Stop .
Victor : Listen to what I am saying to you . You better approach the prosecutor and you talk about a plea bargain .
Michael : Victor , I m serious ! I can not discuss this case with you anymore .
Phyllis : Thanks .
Victor : Thank you . How is my beautiful granddaughter ?
Phyllis : Mmm . She is amazing . She s in the nursery if you wanna check in .
Victor : Oh , she is ?
Phyllis : Yeah .
Victor : Well , I d love that .
Phyllis : Mm - hmm .
Victor : That ll make me go to work .
Phyllis : Of course .
Victor : Yeah . So sweet .
Phyllis : Yeah , hey !
Victor : What ?
Phyllis : I guess they subscribe to the Chronicle .
Victor : Oh . Well , do nt you worry about them . They ll move onto the next thing soon enough .
Phyllis : Is it soon yet ?
Victor : I want you to know that I understand why you did what you did . You wanted to help my son .
Phyllis : Thank you .
Victor : And I m here to help you . I think together we can make some wise decisions , all right ?
Phyllis : Okay , thank you . Listen , I wanna do the best thing for Nick and my daughter and the company .
Victor : And do nt forget Jack s campaign .
Phyllis : Of course .
Victor : I ve given this a lot of thought , you know ? I think you should plead guilty .
Will : I ve only got a moment . I m waiting on your mother .
Michael : Yeah . Well , I have a proposal to make , William .
Will : Propose away .
Michael : The Newman board has a new election . Forget the stacked votes . No harm , no foul , no charges against Phyllis Newman ?
Will : Nice try . My plea offer stands . I suggest you move on it quickly . It wo nt stand forever .
Gloria : Hello , Michael ! I m so sorry you re not able to join us . Excuse me . Thank you .
Michael : I have a client to meet . Have a nice lunch .
Gloria : Mm - hmm . Sorry about that .
Will : Um ... I took the liberty of ordering .
Gloria : Thank you . William , I have a confession . I m feeling a little embarrassed .
Will : About ?
Gloria : When I told you about my dream the other night ?
Will : Mm - hmm .
Gloria : About us being married .
Will : Mmm .
Gloria : You must think I m very silly .
Will : Not at all . I m flattered .
Gloria : Not threatened ?
Will : Oh , hardly . The subconscious is out of our control .
Gloria : Only a very secure man would have that attitude . Good for you .
Will : Ah ! Thank you !
Gloria : Thank you . Oh , my ! I love spicy food . I do ! You know I think everyone can use a little extra spice in their life . It s hot !
Will : I ll get this for you .
Gloria : Mnh - mnh . Mnh - mnh .
Brad : Going down ?
Sharon : Mm - hmm .
Brad : Regards from your husband .
Sharon : Oh , you talked to Jack ?
Brad : I would nt call it talking .
Sharon : Yeah , I know what you mean .
Brad : He thinks we busted Phyllis together .
Sharon : That s ridiculous ! And what is your excuse , anyway ? You thrive on people hating you ?
Brad : There does nt really seem to be any way around it these days .
Sharon : Someone twist your arm ? Vicki , maybe ? I know she hates Phyllis , but she s not a masochist .
Brad : Not Vicki . Change a consonant .
Sharon : Nikki ?
Brad : Bingo .
Phyllis : Your mother s behind this ?
Nick : Why else would Brad go to the police otherwise ?
Phyllis : Oh , my God . What was I thinking ? What was I doing ? What was I thinking ?
Nick : I d say you were nt . ( Knock on door )
Michael : Oh , there you are . I bring news from William Bardwell .
Nick : Good or bad ?
Michael : Well , he s offering a plea bargain . It may be the best you re going to do .
Phyllis : He wants jail time , does nt he ? That s what he wants . How much ?
Michael : Six months .
Nick : Thank you , Mother , for ruining my wedding day . You know , I would ve thought you d like to see me happy , but I guess I was wrong .
Nikki : Nicholas , I did nt realize the timing would be what it was .
Nick : To coincide with the ceremony ? Yeah , why take the chance ? When I heard that it was Brad , I half expected it , but you , Mother ?
Nikki : Okay , I ve been through this with your sister .
Nick : Humor me and do it again . Please explain to me why you d ruin this day for me ? And also the company with your last name on it ?
Nikki : I understand that s how you see it , and I m sorry you feel that way .
Nick : I do nt believe you .
Nikki : You know , I have held my tongue for a very long time , but I m just gon na say it . Neither one of my children married well .
Nick : That is a crock and you know it .
Nikki : Brad cheats on Victoria and Phyllis blackmails him over it ? What kind of people do this ?
Nick : Right . And you have no responsibility in it .
Nikki : I like to think that I accomplished some good . Now I have interviews the rest of the afternoon . Excuse me , I have to prepare .
Sharon : Oh , Jack ! Hey ! Um , I m glad I ran into you . I ve been having a really rotten morning .
Jack : Well , I m sorry to hear that .
Sharon : Listen , I wanted you to hear this from me and not someone else . Um ... it was nt Brad s decision to go to the police .
Jack : Who , then ?
Sharon : Picture a remake of The Godfather . Only female .
Jack : Nikki ?
Sharon : Yep .
Jack : Does Victor know this ?
Sharon : I do nt know .
Jack : Well , let me just--
Nikki : He s not in his office .
Jack : Well , if it is nt the Godmother herself . Where might I find your husband ?
Nikki : I believe he s at the athletic club . Tell him anything you like . Even he ca nt get you out of this mess .
Jack : Just keep underestimating me , Nikki . It ll only be better when I prove you wrong .
Michael : You would root for the cubs if they were 0 and a zillion . You are the most pathetic fan .
Kevin : There s something to be said for loyalty , Michael . Come on .
Michael : What are you doing ?
Gloria : This is not good .
Michael : Gloria ...
Gloria : There s D.N.A. evidence from sweat in the gloves and autopsy notes .
Kevin : Oh , could nt keep your cool , huh ?
Michael : The D.A. s file on the tainted cream . Where did you get this ?
Gloria : From William .
Kevin : What did you do , shake your muffins at him ?
Gloria : I borrowed it .
Kevin : No , you stole it .
Michael : You re insane .
Lauren : Okay ! I m gon na take the baby for a walk . What are you guys up to ?
Michael : Nothing .
Kevin : Nothing at all .
Gloria : Not a thing .
Michael : Do you realize the trouble you will be in if William finds out that this file is missing ?
Kevin : Not if . When .
Gloria : Do nt be so dramatic . He s not going to find out . But there s a lot of useful information in there .
Michael : No , no , no , no , not another word from you !
Kevin : Or you re gon na be holding your next bake - off in the state pen .
Michael : All right , now you can be roommates with Phyllis .
Michael : I m a defense attorney . I m an officer of the court in possession of evidence taken from the office of the prosecutor about a crime I just happen to know my mother committed .
Gloria : Do we have to involve the entire building , Honey ?
Kevin : Hey , Lauren , hi .
Gloria : And Fen !
Michael : Well , going for a walk ?
Lauren : Yes . We ve established that . Am I missing something ?
Michael : No . Nah . Just quality time in the park with Fenmore . Hey , baby !
Lauren : You know , I m not even gon na ask . Okay , Honey , could you get the door ?
Michael : Gotcha .
Lauren : Thanks .
Michael : Oh , have a good time .
Michael : Because of you , I m lying to my wife again .
Gloria : Well , I m very sorry , but you have to . Michael , there is important , confidential information in that file--
Michael : Confidential ! Confidential means you should nt be looking at this ! I ll have nothing to do with this .
Kevin : Unh - unh , unh - unh . I m not gon na let her drag you into this any more than she already has .
Gloria : Michael ... please ... are nt you at least a little bit curious about what s in that folder that could affect my entire future ?
Michael : Oh !
Michael : Okay .
Gloria : I love it when we all pull together .
Victoria : Morning .
Victor : Hi , Sweetheart . Quite a day , is nt it ?
Victoria : Yeah . And it s still morning .
Victor : I m trying to get Bradley to stop this madness . It s bad for business .
Victoria : It s not exactly a marriage - builder , either .
Victor : He s a real piece of work that husband of yours .
Victoria : So s your wife . You know , if you wanna start assigning blame , you should start with her .
Victor : What are you talking about ?
Victoria : Mom was responsible for Phyllis arrest , Dad .
Victor : How do you know that ?
Victoria : She told me .
Nick : So Noah s next appointment with his therapist is ...
Sharon : Um , tomorrow .
Nick : Right .
Sharon : And , you know , we have to talk to him about Phyllis .
Nick : Yeah . Before he hears it from somebody else .
Sharon : I m not gon na lie to you , Nick . I hope that Phyllis gets exactly what she deserves . That said , I would make this all go away if I could , for Noah s sake .
Nick : I know you would . That s what I m trying to do , too .
Sharon : And Nikki-- I know that she loves Noah , but getting his stepmother arrested ? Over my dumb mistake with Brad ? It seems like she did nt think twice about how that was gon na affect Noah . And what kind of a mother or grandmother does that ?
Nick : She was nt thinking of Summer either . I mean , she ca nt live without her mother .
Sharon : The whole thing is just so pointless .
Nick : Not to her campaign . You know , it seems like this family is just ... falling apart . And I wanna protect Noah from that .
Sharon : So do I.
Victor : Now only a fool would nt see that going after Phyllis is bad for business . I ve never taken you for a fool , Bradley .
Brad : Well , that s good to know .
Victor : It is also bad for Jack s campaign .
Brad : Then the state of Wisconsin may end up owing me a debt of gratitude .
Victor : You re in no position to disparage anyone s character , when yours is so lacking . Why do nt you look at the larger picture ? Go to William Bardwell and tell him to drop the charges against Phyllis . And then , remove yourself from the board of directors .
Brad : You know , it s interesting . You seem to care more about Jack than your own wife or your daughter . I ll tell you what . You put on a big Vote for Nikki button , and then maybe I ll reconsider .
Victor : All right . Uh , Jack is my candidate , okay ?
Nikki : Well , there s that good old family spirit ! May I have a word with Victor ?
Brad : He s all yours .
Nikki : What are you doing ? Setting up a golf date with your son - in - law ?
Victor : Trying to do a bit of damage control .
Victor : I know what you ve done . I just wish you had consulted with me before .
Nikki : Why , so you could talk me out of it ?
Victor : No , perhaps you might ve been able to talk me into it .
Nikki : Well , how would that be possible when Jack is the only person you trust ?
Victor : It s called spin . I have my reasons .
Nikki : Ah .
Victor : You and I have the same goal-- to restore N.V.P. to the N and the V. And then banish Jack Abbott to the east of Eden .
Nikki : And who would that spin be for ? Look , Jack repaid your loan . Strike one . You ca nt or wo nt prove that he owns Brad . Strike two . Three and you re out . In the meantime , I m batting 1,000 here . Why do nt you come over and join my team ? It d be a lot more exciting .
Brad : Ah , there you are . For you .
Victoria : Coffee beans .
Brad : Not just any coffee beans . They re the best in the world . Special ordered from Crimson Lights . Hacienda la Esmeralda from Panama . A pound of caf , a pound of decaf . We can blend them together ourselves . That should make you happier and it wo nt hurt our baby .
Victoria : And you think that I m irritable due to my lack of caffeine ?
Brad : I think you re irritable because I ve been the biggest jerk in the western world .
Victoria : More colorful names come to mind , actually .
Brad : I know I ve made so many mistakes .
Victoria : Well , I hope you re not waiting for me to contradict you .
Brad : I m not . I just want you to know that I will gladly spend the rest of my life trying to make this up to you .
Victoria : Sounds more like debtors prison than marriage .
Brad : I want our marriage , Victoria .
Victoria : Why do nt you make a fresh pot , light on the caffeine and , um ... we ll go from there . That s about all I can do for today .
Phyllis : Remember when we formed N.V.P. and you were so excited to work with me ?
Nikki : Yeah . That s when I could actually trust my business partners .
Phyllis : What I did was wrong . I know that , but ...
Nikki : I know , I know , I know , you did it for Nicholas . I ve seen this movie before .
Phyllis : Okay , listen , business aside -- business aside , let s just really talk here . If you want me to beg , I ll beg . I ll beg . Please , please , go to Brad and tell him that you do not want your daughter - in - law going to jail .
Nikki : Why would I do that ?
Phyllis : You would do that for your son . You would do it for Summer . I am her mother . She needs me .
Nikki : You should ve thought of that then before you plunged the machete in my back .
Michael : D.N.A. , yadda yadda yadda . There s nothing here of much use so -- oh . Wait a minute . Oh , there we go . Uh - oh .
Kevin : What ?
Gloria : What ?
Kevin : Hey , look who s back !
Gloria : Hey , Lauren , Fen !
Michael : Hey .
Lauren : Okay ... what are the three of you hiding ?
Michael : Oh , hiding ...
Gloria : Not a thing !
Lauren : Uh - huh . All right , well ... you have the option-- you can tell me now , or you can tell me later . But do nt let me find out by myself . Okay ?
Michael : She s right , you know ?
Kevin : Yeah , yeah , yeah , rewind to Uh - oh .
Gloria : What did you see in the file , Michael ?
Michael : Oh ... the , uh , subpoena list for the D.N.A. tests . You re at the top .
Sharon : Um ... I m sure I m the last person you wanna see right now .
Sharon : Look , um ... I m really sorry , not only for what I-- for what Brad and I did , but for keeping it a secret . I thought I was doing the right thing . With all my heart , I wish I could go back and change it .
Victoria : What , um ... would that be the sleeping with my -- my husband part , or the getting caught-- getting caught part ? Or maybe ... giving Phyllis what she needed to ... you know what ? Forget it . Are you finished ?
Sharon : Yes .
Victoria : Good , then if you ll excuse me , I have to go home . Ow ! Ow !
Sharon : Victoria , what is it ? Are you okay ?
Victoria : I do nt know . Uh ... oh , cramping ! Ow ! Something s wrong .
Kay : Cane said no to my offer .
Gloria : So we got our plan straight , right ?
Kevin : We d better . I love you , but I m not willing to risk jail time .
Lauren : If that does nt prove that Jack owns Jabot , I do nt know what does .

Cole : Antonio s younger brother helping us pull a job right under his nose ? This is good .
Johnson : Anything you want me to get you ?
Mitch : Find Jessica .
Jessica : I saw the two of you trying to make Mitch believe that he s been hearing things . The question is , why ?
Viki : Oh , Mitch , I have got you .
Natalie : Enough hair spray . That should last Roxy a whole week .
Rex : Natalie -- whoa . Sorry .
Natalie : It s ok . I ve got some bottles of shampoo to unload -- unless , of course , you want to do it .
Rex : I have a job . I just , you know , took a break to see how you were doing , making sure everything s ok for the grand opening tomorrow .
Natalie : Mm - hmm . Without actually helping ?
Rex : Well , I would , but , you know , this is a new shirt , so --
Natalie : Yeah , yeah , yeah .
Rex : We got to talk .
Natalie : What ?
Rex : Nothing . I was just telling Cris good job on the mural . I mean , you know , it s not an easy job to make Roxy look good .
Asa : Where s Jessica ? I mean , she knows better than to ever keep her grandpa waiting . Come here . What s the matter with you ?
Nigel : Me , sir ? Whatever could be the matter with me ?
Asa : Well , how the hell would I know ? But after Roxy and I took you to see that fool hypnotist , you ve been acting very strange .
Nigel : Oh , no , sir , really , that trip was most effective . No , it changed my life .
Asa : Hey , whoa , whoa . You still work for me , remember ? Call Jessie on the phone . I was supposed to meet her here .
Nigel : Oh , dear .
Asa : Well , what now ?
Nigel : I must admit I neglected to call miss Jessica in the first place .
Asa : Call her now . Get her over here wherever she is .
Antonio : Yeah , thanks .
Nora : Did you at least read the phone it s rights first ?
Antonio : Every lead . Every lead -- nothing . It s like -- it s like Mitch Lawrence just vanished .
Nora : He s not going to do that . Why would he do that ? He s got everything he wants . Even blind as a bat , he s in hog heaven .
Antonio : Yeah ? Well , then where is he ?
Nora : I do nt know , Antonio , but I m sure he s going to find his way back to Llanview very soon . And when he does , we ll be waiting .
Dorian : It has to be here . It has to be here somewhere . This is where Blair said she put it .
Mitch : What s this ?
Johnson : A bag . It s got some stuff in it . Check this out . A tape recorder with a real interesting tape inside . Listen .
Mitch : Where did you get that ?
Johnson : In the back of a closet at Llanfair .
Mitch : Dorian . Hmm . You thought you could drive me mad , did nt you , Dorian ? I m afraid all you ve done is sign your own death warrant .
Viki : Jessica , what on earth are you doing here ?
Jessica : Me ? What about you ? I mean -- oh , mom . Oh , mom , I m so sorry .
Viki : Oh , please , it s all right .
Jessica : No , no , it s not all right . You should nt have come here alone .
Viki : Of course I had to come alone . I had to .
Jessica : Yeah , because I told you about this place . I made everything so much more difficult .
Viki : No , sweetheart , you were right to tell me , honestly . I needed to know about this . Believe me , as painful as it is to have to relive some of the awful things my father did to me , they happened and they re not going to go away . Besides , something positively brilliant has come out of this .
Jessica : Really ? What is it ?
Viki : I ll show you . Let s get out of here first .
Viki : Jessie , come here . Look what I found . This is a handwritten note from father to Mitch , spelling out their agreement . Your heart in exchange for father rewriting his will .
Jessica : Why keep something so incriminating ? Like , why would he put it in the box downstairs ?
Viki : Please . I long ago ceased wondering why Mitch Lawrence does anything .
Jessica : It s a message from grandpa .
Viki : Well , go and see what he wants . I m going to look through the rest of this .
Jessica : Ok .
Nigel : Hello ?
Jessica : Hi , Nigel . It s Jessica . Grandpa left me a message .
Nigel : Oh , miss Jessica , I m very sorry , but I neglected to tell you that the pre - Columbian gold works that your grandfather arranged for you to show at the gallery are arriving ahead of schedule -- tonight .
Jessica : Tonight ?
Nigel : Mr. Buchanan and I are at the gallery awaiting your arrival or for him to strangle me , whichever comes first .
Jessica : Well , I -- I ca nt leave right now , but I ll be there as soon I I can , ok ?
Viki : Jessie ? You do nt have to stay here with me .
Jessica : No , mom , I want to .
Viki : No , no , no . You go do what you have to do . I m on my way to the police station .
Dorian : Viki ? I think I ll be coming with you . That way , I can have you charged with trespassing .
Jessica : Dorian , I live here , too . I invited my mother .
Viki : No . No , Jessie , you go ahead . I ll handle Dorian . In fact , nothing would give me greater pleasure .
Nora : Ok . Thank you .
Antonio : Yeah , just call me when you hear something . Thanks .
Nora : Did you get anything ? Nope ? Me , neither .
Antonio : Since when do you work this late ?
Nora : When I really , really , really , really want to close in on a case or when Matthew has a sleepover at a friend s house .
Antonio : You do nt have anyone to go home to , do you ?
Nora : Not so much , no .
Antonio : Yeah . Neither do I.
Nora : Thanks . No , as a matter of fact , I inherited a huge caseload when I took this job , which keeps me from thinking about being alone .
Antonio : Yep . We have a lifetime supply of crime .
Nora : Oh , hey -- Hank told me you got a lead on a burglary ?
Antonio : Yeah , but you re not going to like this .
Nora : Try me .
Antonio : Look , Nora , I know you like R.J. --
Nora : Oh --
Antonio : But he s up to his old tricks and he s sucking in some new players .
Rex : You re still in , right ?
Cristian : I want to know who else is involved .
Rex : All you need to do is follow the instructions .
Cristian : All right , well , at least tell me what the job is . Are we hitting a bank or something ?
Rex : Come on , ca nt you be just a little bit more original than that ? Lindsay Rappaport s gallery .
Cristian : The gallery ?
Rex : Do nt worry . Nobody s going to steal any of your paintings . We have something a lot more valuable in mind .
Cristian : Funny . All right , so what is it ?
Rex : You re being paid to drive . You do nt need to know anything else . Everything looks great . Although , why are you knocking yourself out ? Come on , it s Roxy . You might as well burn the place down and collect the insurance .
Natalie : No . No , this -- this place is going to be a huge success .
Rex : Well , you sound like you really care .
Natalie : Well , yeah , of course I do . I work here and Cris and I -- we need the money right now . Well , at least until he can get a better job instead of hanging around to chauffeur for my grandpa or start selling some of his paintings . What were you guys talking about , anyway ?
Rex : Oh , I was just telling him that he better not even think about hurting you .
Natalie : So , why did you say something about the gallery ?
Rex : Because , do nt you know , his ex - girlfriend works there , so --
Natalie : Look , you guys do nt have to worry about Jessica , ok ? I mean , thank you for being concerned , but Cris would never hurt me .
Rex : No , no way . Not when he knows that he ll have to deal with me . See you .
Roxy : Foxy Roxy s . We aim to please as we blow - dry and tease -- except we re not open till tomorrow .
Nigel : I had to hear your voice .
Roxy : Oh , and I crave hearing your voice , too . I hope it rubs off on me when we get married . [ Nigel with a British accent ] Mrs. Roxanne Bartholomew - Smythe .
Nigel : You know , I have to go .
Natalie : Who was that , your mystery man ?
Roxy : Maybe .
Jessica : Grandpa , I m so sorry . I did nt -- I got here as fast as I could . I did nt mean to make you wait .
Asa : Do nt you worry your pretty little head . I m not blaming you .
Jessica : Nigel did nt mean to forget , grandpa .
Asa : Honey , Nigel forgot to call the security people . That is pre - Columbian gold . Priceless , Nigel , and belongs to an old oil buddy of mine .
Nigel : A thousand apologies , sir .
Asa : Save them . I already shipped it to the mansion . Let them try and get through my moat .
Jessica : I m sorry about all the trouble that you ve gone through , but thank you so much again for getting me your friend s collection . And with Cristian s show , I mean , we re off to a pretty good start here .
Asa : You got that right , honey . It s going to be great . Come on , Nigel . Let s see if you can find the street .
Asa : What are we doing here , Nigel ? There s no need for me to inspect this damn place .
Nigel : Well , I know how closely you supervise your every investment , sir , and after all , tomorrow is the grand opening of this lovely establishment .
Asa : Who cares ?
Nigel : Everything is perfect , sir . What could go wrong in a place filled with so much beauty ?
Natalie : You guys are talking about Cristian s mural , huh ? It s great , is nt it ?
Nigel : Oh , it is exquisite . How could it go wrong , a portrait of Miss Roxanne ? She made the decision to hire Cristian .
Asa : Cristian , is this thing about done ? Because I m going to tell you , I am sick and tired of you hanging around here all the time .
Natalie : Wow , is he ever in a bad mood .
Cristian : Is he ever in a good one ? Try working with the guy .
Roxy : Hey , Asa , I got a couple more bills in the back for you . I ll be right back .
Asa : Go get them . I ai nt going to pay them .
Nigel : Sir ?
Asa : Do you really think I give a damn about this place ? I put up the money because my accountant insisted I needed a tax write - off .
Nigel : Oh . How noble .
Asa : Yeah , and I have about had it . I ca nt stand that nut job .
Nigel : Which nut job would that be ?
Asa : Roxy .
Nigel : Miss Roxanne ?
Asa : And I m pulling the plug on this money pit .
Nigel : No , sir , you ca nt .
Asa : I sure as hell can . And the good thing about it -- you wo nt be coming over here to rehearse your fool plays anymore .
Nigel : Oh , those are just simply a hobby .
Asa : You do the job that I pay you for . We are going to Tokyo this week -- no ifs , ands , or buts .
Natalie : So , Rex told me that you guys were talking about the gallery -- and Jessica .
Cristian : Um , yeah , yeah . I got to call Jessica , you know ? I need to get this show going . I ca nt wait .
Jessica : Do nt move ! I ve got a gun .
Johnson : Do nt shoot . Are you Jessica ? I work for your father .
Jessica : What are you doing here ?
Johnson : Mr. Lawrence has been real concerned about you .
Jessica : I ve been worried about him , too . I want you to take me to him right now .
Man : All set , Mr. Lawrence ?
Mitch : Yes . Time to solve the problem of my wife , Dorian , permanently .
Mitch : This had better be good news .
Johnson : I found your daughter .
Mitch : Bring her to the lake house .
Johnson : Are you sure you want her to know where you are ? Are you sure you can trust her ?
Mitch : Jessica is my daughter . You will show her the same respect you show me .
Johnson : Yeah , sure .
Mitch : Bring her here now .
Man : Ready to go ?
Mitch : No . We ll wait till my daughter arrives .
Man : Are you sure you can trust her ?
Mitch : What do you mean ?
Man : I d hate to think you ca nt trust your own flesh and blood .
Mitch : Yes . I d hate to think so , too .
Dorian : You seem to keep forgetting that this is my house now . All right ? And if you take anything from it , I will have you arrested .
Viki : I ll take my chances .
Dorian : Oh , no , you wo nt . You ll give back everything that you ve taken , and that would include the -- the bag you took from the closet .
Viki : Oh , Dorian , come on . I did nt steal one of your purses .
Dorian : Oh , it s not a purse . It s something far more special . It was a gift that Mitch gave me . I miss him terribly .
Viki : Oh , do you then why were you trying to make him think he was losing his mind ? Jessica told me everything . Dorian , I m going to put Mitch in prison now . Now , what you decide to do with all of this is your decision , but know this -- the net is closing quickly . And if you do nt want to be caught in it , this is your last chance .
Roxy : I do nt give a damn what anyone thinks . This place is like a dream come true for me .
Natalie : Roxy , what s --
Roxy : This is all that I ve ever wanted ! It s like winning the trifecta . No , it s better than that . It s like the pick six . Except now some jerk just told me that my ticket is no good .
Natalie : What ?
Roxy : Asa s pulling the plug .
Natalie : That s crazy .
Roxy : No more Foxy Roxy s .
Cristian : You have nt even opened yet .
Roxy : No , and that s not the worst part . The worst part is that he s taking Nigel to Japan . Well , it s just that I like the little guy . You know , he s a very good decorator .
Natalie : Roxy , honey , do nt worry about him . Foxy Roxy s -- it s going to be a huge success . Ok , I ll -- I ll talk to grandpa . I ll tell him not to pull the plug .
Roxy : Kiddo , you d do that for me ?
Natalie : Yeah . I mean , I work here .
Roxy : Good . Because this place could be huge . It could be -- it could be better than the Taj Mahal . The casino , you know , not the place in -- uh --
Cristian : India .
Roxy : Indiana , yeah . And Asa -- he s going to be kissing me for investing in this place . And Nigel and me --
Natalie : Nigel and you what ?
Roxy : Well , maybe Nigel s going to be my partner .
Dorian : It must be wonderful to live in such a black - and - white world .
Viki : Oh , Dorian , spare me .
Dorian : I , unfortunately , see the world the way it really is -- in shades of gray .
Viki : No , no , you see the world one way -- whatever s best for Dorian .
Dorian : One does what one has to do .
Viki : And what about what you ve been doing to Blair ?
Dorian : Oh ? And what is that ?
Viki : You dragged her into this little scheme of yours and risked her life , risked making her children orphans .
Dorian : I would never do anything to harm those children or anyone else in my family . Please get out . Get out of my house .
Viki : Gladly . But that was it , Dorian . That was your last chance to do the right thing .
Dorian : Hmm . You can give me those papers , too . I m not going to let you steal them .
Viki : Really ? Well , in that case , I think you d better call the police . I did nt think so . Dorian , do be careful . Because if Mitch finds out what you are trying to do to him --
Dorian : Oh , please do nt tell me now you re worried about me .
Viki : I do nt want him to hurt anyone else . Not even you .
Dorian : Ok .
Nora : Any luck ?
Antonio : Yeah , Mitch s family used to live near Amish farm country just west of here .
Nora : Where ?
Antonio : All I got was on some lake .
Nora : Really ? Pennsylvania , near a lake . Wow , that s narrowing it down .
Antonio : Vega . What ? You were supposed to keep an eye -- no , look , forget it . Where did you lose her ? All right , call highway patrol and give them a description of the car . No , no , I m on my way .
Nora : What s going on ?
Antonio : I had some guys watching Jessica . They lost her . They said some guy came to pick her up .
Nora : One of Mitch s guys ?
Antonio : It sounds like it . They were last seen traveling west on interstate 74 . Damn it . If that girl would just use her head .
Mitch : Jessica ?
Jessica : Yes , I m here .
Mitch : Johnson , wait outside .
Johnson : Are you sure ?
Mitch : I said wait outside . But do nt go far . We will need you momentarily . Come , Jessica . I hope that Johnson did nt frighten you too much . It s just that I needed to -- to know you were all right .
Jessica : I needed to see you , too . What is this place ?
Mitch : This is where I grew up , Jessica . And where my father died .
Jessica : How did he die ?
Mitch : As he should have -- in the fires of righteousness .
Natalie : It s perfect . It is . Even Roxy s going to love it .
Cristian : Yeah . Yeah , it s all done . Ready for tomorrow .
Natalie : You know , when people see this mural , you are not going to be working for my grandfather as a chauffeur much longer at all .
Cristian : You know , I never would have been painting if it was nt for you .
Natalie : Well , I guess I m just going to have to think of some way that you can make it up to me .
Cristian : Oh , yeah ?
Natalie : I ll tell you what . Why do nt I go get cleaned up , and then we ll go home . And I m sure one of us can figure it out .
Cristian : Count on it .
Rex : All right , now . It s time .
Cristian : What , now ? Natalie s here . I ca nt leave .
Rex : You said you wanted to meet the guy that I m working with . You do nt have to . I can find somebody else to drive . It s not like this is brain surgery .
Cristian : All right , all right . At least let me tell Natalie that I m leaving .
Rex : All right . Make it quick .
Cristian : Oh , but wait a minute . Where s the meeting ?
Rex : The Palace Bar .
Jessica : What do you mean , your father died in the fires of righteousness ?
Mitch : Well , you remember what I told you about him , do nt you ? What a deeply religious man he was and how he relished punishing those who were less pious than himself . Starting with me and my little brother , Walker .
Jessica : He sounded like a horrible man .
Mitch : Yes . The only time he seemed even remotely human to me was when he was at this lake . The only pleasure , other than beating me and Walker , that he indulged in was this old , used cabin cruiser he bought .
Jessica : Did he take you fishing ?
Mitch : No , he did not take me fishing . He would nt let me anywhere near that boat . He spent hours working on it . He said that the only truly peaceful sleep he ever had was when he slept on the boat . In fact , he spent his last night on it .
Jessica : What happened ?
Mitch : The fires of righteousness set the boat ablaze and blew him to kingdom come .
Jessica : I m sorry .
Mitch : No . I m only sorry that it did nt happen sooner . My brother would still be alive today . I know that it s wrong to hate one s father .
Jessica : Not if your father s an awful man .
Mitch : I would nt blame you if you feel the same about me .
Jessica : I ve thought a lot about what happened to you , and it s -- it s made me understand and care what happens to you .
Mitch : Why did you tell Johnson that you needed to see me ?
Jessica : I wanted to make sure you were ok .
Mitch : Is that the real reason ? Jessica , you can tell me anything , as long as it s the truth . But I will not abide being lied to or betrayed by anyone in my own family .
Viki : Nora !
Nora : Hi .
Viki : Hey .
Nora : Viki , what are you doing here ?
Viki : Well , actually , I came looking for Antonio Vega , but I am delighted to see you .
Nora : What s going on ?
Viki : Ok . I have here copies of l the financial documents that Mitch Lawrence was blackmailing Judge Grafton with .
Nora : You re kidding me .
Viki : No . And if that were nt enough , there are handwritten notes in the margins . I m sure we have to prove it s Mitch s handwriting , but --
Nora : Well , that s doable . My God . You ve hit the jackpot .
Viki : Oh , yeah . And the best of all , this is a handwritten note from my father to Mitch detailing their agreement . Jessica s heart for him rewriting his will .
Nora : Viki , my God . You realize that this could overturn that ridiculous ruling of Judge Grafton s , the one that said that Victor s second will should leave everything to Mitch Lawrence .
Viki : Well , I was hoping you would say that .
Nora : Oh , yeah . This will get the whole thing thrown out of court and Mitch thrown into jail .
Viki : Oh , thank you , thank you , thank you . Do you know where Antonio is ? Nora ?
Nora : Um -- Antonio was having Jessica watched . And they lost her .
Viki : What do you mean , they lost her ? I just left her . She was on her way to meet Asa at the gallery .
Nora : Well , apparently , she left the gallery --
Viki : What ?
Nora : With someone .
Viki : Who ? What ?
Nora : Well , she left voluntarily , but we think it might have been one of Mitch s people .
Viki : Damn it , Jessica ! Why does she keep doing this ?
Nora : All right , the highway patrol has got all the information . They know the color of the car , everything . They ll find her .
Viki : You know , Dorian keeps saying she does nt know where Mitch is .
Nora : Oh , let s go .
Viki : No , I just came from there . She would nt tell me anything .
Nora : Yeah , that s all right . Let me just go lock this up . We ll go to Llanfair . I have a way of making Dorian talk .
Mitch : Please , do nt tell me that it was foolish to put my trust in you , that I should nt have believed that you would be the only one who would never betray me .
Jessica : No . No , it s nothing like that . It s -- I -- I was just afraid to tell you . I -- I came here to warn you .
Mitch : About what ?
Jessica : It s Dorian . She s -- she s making you believe that you re going crazy . She s -- she s making you believe that you re hearing things , like my grandfather s breathing . What ?
Mitch : I m very aware of Dorian s betrayal . But , Jessica , you coming to me like this and volunteering this information means more to me than , God willing , you will ever know .
Man : Yes , sir ?
Mitch : I m going to need you to drive me somewhere .
Man : Of course .
Mitch : Jessica , I m very sorry , but I m going to have to leave for a little while . There s a very urgent matter that needs my full attention , but I will be back soon , and we ll talk more about this house and the things that transpired in it . Our family s house . Yours and mine . You will wait for me , wo nt you ?
Jessica : Of course .
Mitch : Good .
Mitch : Johnson . Get the weapon ready . It s time my wife learned her final lesson . Vengeance is mine , saith the lord .
Cristian : Nigel ? What are you doing back here ?
Nigel : I came to deliver a check for the bills Miss Roxanne was going to present to Mr. Buchanan . Is she still here ?
Cristian : Yeah , yeah . Hey , Roxy , Nigel s here ! So , does Asa always do stuff like this ?
Nigel : Like what ?
Cristian : Well , sending you out on errands in the middle of the night .
Nigel : Oh , yes . When Mr. Buchanan wants something done , he wants it done immediately if not sooner .
Cristian : I I do nt know how you do it , man . I just started working for the guy , and I feel like quitting .
Roxy : Hey , Nige .
Cristian : And nothing better ever came along ?
Roxy : Oh , I m not so sure anymore . So , Miss Roxanne , about those bills ?
Roxy : Oh , yeah , right . Yeah . Come with me .
Nigel : We must do something at once . Mr. Buchanan is talking about taking me to Japan for a month .
Roxy : Let me go to Japan with you . I ve always wanted to be one of those gecko girls .
Nigel : Oh , no . No wife of mine is going to be a gecko girl .
Roxy : What ?
Nigel : Geisha . I mean , geisha .
Roxy : No , no , no , the other part . The thing about the wife .
Nigel : After the opening of Foxy Roxy s tomorrow , we ll get married in Atlantic City . Just as we planned . That is , if you ll still have me .
Roxy : Oh , you do nt even have to ask .
Nigel : Oh . And then I shall leave Mr. Buchanan s employ forever and we shall live happily ever after .
Natalie : So , I think I thought of a way that you can make it up to me .
Cristian : I -- I ca nt . I got to do some stuff for Asa .
Natalie : Well , what s grandpa have you doing now ?
Cristian : I do nt know . I do nt know . He did nt tell me . I ll meet you back at home later , ok ?
Natalie : Ok .
Nigel : Oh , Miss Natalie , hello .
Natalie : Hi . I want to know , what does grandpa have Cristian doing now ?
Nigel : I beg your pardon ? Miss Natalie , Mr. Buchanan s in bed . He could nt possibly have Cristian doing anything .
Antonio : Police ! Freeze !
Jessica : Antonio !
Antonio : Where s Mitch ?
Dorian : Hello ?
Mitch : Hello , Dorian .
Dorian : Why , Mitch . Oh , where are you ? I ve been worried sick about you . All those hallucinations that you were having .
Mitch : Yes , well , I m happy to report that since leaving Llanfair , I ve been completely lucid . No more imagining or hearing things . It s all gone away .
Dorian : Is nt that wonderful ?
Mitch : Strange , do nt you think ?
Dorian : No , not really . Very often , a change of scene will clear the mind .
Mitch : Hmm . Perhaps I simply needed to get away from you .
Dorian : Oh . Honey , do nt joke like that .
Mitch : I never joke .
Dorian : Yes . Well , where are you ? I miss you so much . I have to see you .
Mitch : You do nt need to know where I am . All you need to know is this -- I do nt tolerate betrayal . Goodbye , Dorian .
Dorian : Goodbye ?
Nora : I ll put the fear of god into Dorian .
Dorian : What do you mean ?
Joey : You are an amazing singer .
Flash : Not now I m not .
Cole : Ok , Vega , why should I cut you in ?
Antonio : I am not going to let you get hurt , Jessica , no matter what you pull .
Mitch : Dorian s dead , and you re next .

Starr : Nothing .
Cole : No , you -- you were looking at me funny .
Starr : I was ?
Cole : I thought you said you liked this stuff .
Starr : I do .
Cole : Okay , then what is it ?
Starr : I was just thinking you re gon na be an awesome dad .
Adriana : What brings you here , Marcie ?
Marcie : Well , actually , I -- I m here to see Starr if she s around . She had , uh , oh , those , uh , those Braxton - Hicks contractions . You know , those false labor pains ? So I just wanted to come by --
Adriana : Cut the crap , Marcie . You found out that I moved Rex from the hospital and you re here to plead Gigi s case -- again .
Bo : Come in .
John : Hey .
Bo : Hey .
John : Everything all right ?
Bo : I just got a message that Adriana s had Balsom moved from the hospital to whoever the hell knows where .
John : Nothing you can do ?
Bo : No , she s next of kin . You know , my hands are tied . She was standing guard outside his hospital room , deciding who could go in and who could nt . You know , I thought she d come to her senses .
John : That s a bad situation .
Bo : Yeah , and that s not the only one .
John : What s going on , Bo ?
Bo : Remember when you came to talk to me about Jessica ?
John : Yeah , about the search warrant over at Manning s place .
Bo : Yeah , you said something was off about her .
John : Yeah , I remember .
Bo : I think you were right .
Tess : [ As Jessica ] Hey , how s it going in here , huh ? Why are you looking at my kid like you ve seen a ghost ?
Marty : I may have .
Todd : It s never a good time to see you , but now is a particularly bad time . It s late and --
Tina : Well , that s too bad because I need your help , and , uh , I m not going to leave until you give it to me .
Charlie : Boy , are you a sight for sore eyes .
Viki : Hello , Charlie .
Charlie : When did you get in ?
Viki : Last night .
Viki : You re not imposing . In fact , I was on my way out to see you .
Charlie : Really ?
Viki : Yeah , I wanted to ask you about Jared .
Charlie : Oh , sure , what do you want to know ?
Viki : Have you seen or heard from Jared lately ?
Charlie : Not for a couple of days . Why ?
Viki : Oh , God , I m worried . I do nt know how to say this except to just say it , okay ? But I think that Natalie and Jared may both be missing .
Natalie : Where the hell is Tess ?
Jared : I do nt know .
Natalie : You know , it s not like I want to see her face or anything , but I just want to know why she s not down here torturing us .
Jared : Yeah , or at least feeding us .
Natalie : Jared , what if -- what if she never comes back ? What if we never get out of here ? I mean , I m -- I m starving and my ankle s really starting to hurt again .
Jared : We will figure something out .
Natalie : What , Jared ? What are we going to do ? How are we going to get out of here alive ?
Charlie : Well , what do you mean , missing ?
Viki : When s the last time you spoke to Jared ?
Charlie : A couple of days ago . And I ve called him a few times since , just to check in , and -- well , he has nt called me back . Actually , that s why I m here .
Viki : Okay , I talked to Jared . I called him last night when I got in , okay ? It was a terrible connection . I could barely hear him , but he said something about something being urgent , and then I lost the call . And I tried to call him back , and it went straight to voicemail and has been ever since . And then when I got up this morning , I found out he never came home last night . And I have been trying to call him all day today and so has Bo .
Charlie : Bo ?
Viki : Mm - hmm .
Charlie : Okay , Viki , now you re getting me nervous .
Viki : Well , I m actually kind of scared myself .
Charlie : What s happened ?
Viki : Come in , Charlie . Look , there s something I have to tell you .
Tess : [ As Jessica ] You re alone with my daughter and you re seeing ghosts ?
Marty : No , I did nt mean it to sound like that , exactly . I -- I was , um , holding , I was holding her and all of a sudden , Jabberwocky came into my head .
Tess : Jabber what ?
Marty : It s a poem . It s a Lewis Carroll poem . And I was reciting it to Bree , and then all of a sudden I remembered reciting it to another baby . Um , and I think it was a memory .
Marty : Yeah . You ve known me for a long time , right ? Um , was I -- was I close to someone that had a little boy ?
Tina : Todd , how long has it been since I have asked you for anything ?
Todd : Not long enough .
Tina : Yeah , well , why do nt you try not being such a hard - ass , okay ? Because it , uh , really does nt work with me .
Todd : All right , what do you want ?
Tina : Have you seen Jessica ?
John : So you think Jessica s lost it .
Bo : I m starting to .
John : What happened ?
Bo : Banks came to me with his , uh , Tess angle yesterday . And I do nt like to listen to a thing this guy has to say , because it s always like he s trying to hustle me .
John : I thought the same thing when he came to me about Natalie leaving town .
Bo : But it s Balsom . You know , Balsom s like a brother to Natalie , and now he s been shot . He s in a coma . And after all the messages that everybody has left for Natalie , no one s heard a word . Does that sound like Natalie to you ?
John : No , it does nt .
Bo : No . And Viki came back from Africa . She still has nt heard from Natalie . So I talked to Viki about my suspicions , I could see a light go on .
John : I guess she would know .
Bo : Losing Nash the way that Jessica did , you know ? Losing the vineyard , being pregnant and still being responsible for a toddler , that s a lot to handle . Viki thinks that Tess could be in control again .
John : And you think Tess has something to do with Natalie being missing .
Bo : Yeah , I do now . As of last night , Banks is nowhere to be found , either .
Jared : Here , baby , come here , sit down . Sit down .
Natalie : Okay .
Jared : Let me get a look at this . Oh , sweetie , you are really swollen . Does , uh --
Natalie : Ow !
Jared : Okay , all right . You know what ? We need to wrap this , like , right away .
Jared : God , we could use few anti - inflammatory pills , too .
Natalie : Yeah , well , the only person we can rely on is Doctor Tess , and she loves inflicting pain , especially on me . Jared , I ca nt stand this . I ve got to get out of here right now . I ve got to get out of here now .
Jared : Then let s get out of here right now .
John : So that letter would have been written under duress .
Bo : Mm - hmm . Tess forces Natalie to break it off with Jared , and then in the meantime --
John : As Jessica , she keeps the cover - up any way she can .
Bo : Mm - hmm , that could explain the way she was acting at Manning s .
John : Yeah , and why she came to see me the next day at the station , running interference for him . It did nt really seem like Jessica .
Bo : I do nt think it was .
John : Makes me wonder what she knows about Natalie and Manning .
Todd : I have not seen Jessica , scout s honor .
Tina : Okay .
Todd : Now , good - bye .
Tina : Well , then I have another question for you .
Todd : What s that ?
Tina : Do you know the combination to Viki s safe ? Because , um , I put some , well , some valuables in there and then Jessica , well , she just decided to change the combination . And I wondered if maybe she told it to you .
Todd : No , she did nt . Now , get the hell out of my house , Tina , immediately .
Tess : [ As Jessica ] Well , thanks for taking care of little grape . Say , bye- bye , Marty . Bye - bye . We have stuff to do now , see ya .
Tina : Hey , hey , hey , what are you doing ? I m your sister , Todd !
Marty : Something wrong ?
Tess : About that little boy you remembered , I -- I think I do know something .
Cole : I m not going to be reading to our baby when it s born , Marcie is .
Starr : I just meant that one day , you are going to be a great father .
Marcie : No , I m not here to plead anybody s case . I -- actually , you know , I -- I m really surprised to even see you here . I thought that you would be with Rex . I mean you , of all people , 24 - 7 , you know , wherever he is .
Adriana : Rex is fine .
Marcie : He s unconscious .
Adriana : You know what I mean . He s stable . Anyway , I was on my way to go see Rex , so if , you know , there s nothing else --
Marcie : Well , yeah , yeah , there is . I m here to see Starr , remember ?
Adriana : Starr s not here .
Cole : And has thou slain the Jabberwock ?
Gigi : Damn it .
Marcie : But it s really late , you know . I mean , are you sure that Starr is nt here ?
Adriana : Yep .
Marcie : Any idea where she might be , maybe ?
Adriana : I m not her babysitter .
Marcie : Okay .
Adriana : Sorry , Marcie , look , I m just really anxious to get to Rex , so --
Marcie : Yeah , of course . Oh , you know what ? I ll -- I ll just leave her a note . You know , just let her know that I was here . Oh , do you have a pen ?
Adriana : No , not on me , no .
Marcie : Oh , well , maybe I have one in my bag , here --
Adriana : Is something wrong ?
Marcie : Actually , I ll just give her a call .
Adriana : No , you know what
Starr : What s up ?
Marcie : Hey , Starr . I came by your house to check on you , to see how you re doing , and I hear that you re not home .
Starr : I m in the living room with Rex .
Marcie : Oh , you re in the living room with Rex .
Starr : Hold on .
Gigi : Thank you , Marcie .
Shaun : Excuse me , are you lost ?
Tess : [ As Jessica ] You know , maybe it was Todd and Blair s kids that you were thinking of .
Marty : No , I do nt think so because Todd said that , uh , we did nt see much of each other in the last few years .
Tess : Yeah , I bet he did .
Marty : Is he out there ?
Tess : Yes , but he s , uh , not alone .
Marty : Someone s with him ?
Tess : Yeah , so we should stay really , really quiet .
Marty : Oh , my God . Is it -- is it John McBain ?
Tess : I think so .
John : Viki had it out with Tess ?
Bo : Nobody s seen Tess since this morning . That s got Viki even more worried .
John : With Balsom , you ve got a lot on your plate , right now .
Bo : Well , I m just trying to focus on what I can do something about , you know ? Natalie s always been impulsive , but just to disappear right off the face of the earth ?
John : Yeah .
Bo : What are you thinking , John ?
John : If Jessica is this Tess and Manning knows about it , explains why she s been defending him and it explains why she said he did nt have anyone up at that house .
Bo : So you think Tess is in on whatever Manning s got going on ?
John : Has to be .
Todd : Move it or lose it , sis .
Tina : Hey , why are you being so mean to me ? We are family and family is supposed to help one another .
Todd : Get out before I call the cops .
Tina : Oh , that is sweet . You hate the cops . And what s more important , the cops hate you .
Todd : So what ?
Tina : So you bug them , they re gon na find some old case against you and just reopen it just for the fun of it . So , I need your help in opening Viki s safe without the combination .
Todd : Oh , you d like me to help you steal from my sister ?
Tina : Well , I m not stealing from Viki . I stole from -- look , possession is nine - tenths of the law . And whatever s in that safe was in my possession before Jessica changed the combination , so I need you to help me jimmy the lock or whatever and do nt act like you do nt know how to do it .
Todd : Uh , the only way to open that safe without the combination is to blow it up . Is that helpful , Tina ?
Tina : This is not a joke , Todd . This is a matter of life or death .
Todd : Yeah , yours .
Tina : No , not mine , but someone very near and dear to me will die if I do nt open that safe .
Natalie : Jared you know how to get us out of here ?
Jared : Trust me .
John : I think I ll go over to Manning s . I think I ll go right now .
Bo : You re just looking for another reason to get back in that house .
John : Maybe .
Bo : The mayor s told you you ve got to stop harassing Manning .
John : Who s harassing him ?
Bo : He s afraid you ll shed more light on his boy , Ramsey .
John : Hey , forget about him , all right ? Here s what we know . We know Manning and Tess are working together , right ? What we do nt know is how long it s gon na last . I say this is the time we get over there and see what we can find out .
Bo : I know that part of you really wants to help me out .
John : If something s happened to Natalie , I damn well want to know what it is .
Bo : I know , but you re also looking for an excuse to , uh , get back into Manning s house and find that woman that you think that he s hiding there . I ca nt let you do that , John . Now , why do nt you tell me what you re really thinking ? Who do you think this woman is ?
Marty : Are you sure you saw John McBain ?
Tess : [ As Jessica ] Well , I did nt see his face , but he s outside having a conversation with somebody and it did nt sound very friendly .
Marty : Well , then I need to get out of here .
Tess : No , Marty , just stay , relax . Trust in Todd . He s going to take care of everything , okay ? Hang out with Bree . That always relaxes me .
Marty : Push down . There you go . Mm - hmm , push .
Tina : Why are you being so mean ? Look , I know he s just a dog , but I love him .
Tina : Well -- well , I hate the thought of somebody doing anything to hurt him . And if I do nt pay that ransom , he just may die .
Todd : Yeah , yeah .
Todd : It s a hard knock life .
Tina : Do nt you even care about Natalie and Jared ?
Todd : Hmm , scoot back . Do nt let the door hit you .
Tina : Todd ! Todd --
Tina : I guess I ll have to get into that safe all by myself .
Todd : Hey , how s it going in here ?
Marty : Jessica said that she saw you talking to John McBain .
Todd : Is that what she said ? No , no , it was just some woman looking for some money for some charity . She s gone now . Is everything all right ?
Tess : Yes , but Marty remembered something . She had a memory about a baby .
Charlie : I am so sorry , Viki . I thought that Jessica was healed .
Viki : So did I. The thing is , Tess always dealt with Jessica s anger for her . And Jessica had -- oh , my God , she was so angry when Nash died . And then apparently , it was Jared who was the first person to figure out that something was wrong .
Charlie : Hmm , my Jared ? How would he know ?
Viki : Well , Jared knew Tess long before he knew anyone else in the family . I mean , you must know this . Tess is the reason that he went to prison . I do not get that I did nt see that this was happening . I m her mother and I have the same illness .
Charlie : Okay , look , but you were dealing with Nash s death and the loss of the company and us .
Viki : But I m the reason that Tess existed in the first place . Oh , God , Charlie . What if Jared and Natalie are missing and it s because of Tess ?
Natalie : Jared , of course I trust you . I love you . I trust you with my life . But if you know a way to get us out of here --
Jared : Close your eyes . Close your eyes . Listen , we re not in this room . There are no walls . We re not in this house . We re not in this town . We re not even in this state .
Natalie : I wish --
Jared : Shh . Oh , there s a -- a cool breeze blowing and a fire in the fire pit and the sun is setting in a sky so huge it looks as if it goes on forever . Can you feel it ?
Natalie : I can feel it .
Jared : Good , now open your eyes .
Natalie : I miss this place .
Jared : This is where I first told you I loved you . And you let me . And you forgave me . And we made love .
Natalie : It s such a beautiful night . I wish I could just stay here forever .
Jared : No other worries in the world .
Natalie : No loss and no pain .
Jared : I know , just you and me under this huge Texas sky .
Natalie : And our love . Jared , that s all I want . I wish we could just stay here .
Jared : If you want to , if we try , we can .
Todd : What s this about a baby ?
Marty : It was incredible . And I had it twice .
Todd : You had what twice ?
Marty : I was holding Bree and I had what had to have been a memory , because it was so indelible , of holding a baby and reading to him . Todd , did I know somebody with a son ?
Starr : Why would you tell Marcie that I was nt here ?
Marcie : Because she probably did nt want me to know that Rex was in your living room .
Adriana : Okay , yes , you re right . I did nt .
Starr : Okay , I do nt understand . But Marcie and Rex are friends . What s so bad about her seeing him ?
Adriana : It s not Marcie I m worried about . It s her pal , Gigi .
Gigi : I was just about to take a smoke break . I ca nt do it in there with the oxygen tank . You got a light ?
Shaun : You re a nurse ?
Gigi : So I forgot something . It s one of those days , you know ?
Shaun : You should forget about smoking . It s really bad for your health .
Gigi : You re right , filthy habit . I guess I ll just take a few minutes to breathe in the nice clean air . I ca nt believe what a lovely night it is .
Shaun : I did nt see you come in with the other nurses .
Gigi : Oh , I m relief -- night shift . I m a night owl , so -- hey , what s with the 20 question , anyway ?
Shaun : Hey , I m sorry . There s a lot of security around this place and this is my job . This is what I do .
Gigi : Got it . I ll stop giving you a hard time .
Shaun : All right , I ve got to do my rounds of the property . I ll see you back inside .
Gigi : Not if I can help it .
Todd : Well , everybody knows somebody with kids .
Marty : Yeah , but --
Todd : But what ? I mean , you know , you re a therapist . You must have had clients who had kids .
Marty : No , oh , no . No , it s more than that . You told me I m an only child , so that rules out nieces and nephews . But you told me that I had an aunt , so maybe she had a child or --
Todd : No , no , I do nt know . I do nt know . I m sorry , I do nt know . It could be any kid , Marty . Anybody would be happy to let you hold their kid . And you re a natural mother , just wonderful .
Marty : I was nt just holding him . I loved him . And it was like the truest love I ve ever felt . It was so pure and -- and --
Marty : Todd , it feels so strong . I still feel it . What does that mean ?
Todd : Um , it means you re a -- you re , uh , one of the most caring individuals I ve ever met and that you re going to be a great mom -- a great mom when we get Starr s kid .
Marty : I m starting to have memories .
Todd : Well --
Marty : Maybe it s all going to come back to me now .
Todd : Would you excuse me for a second ? I ve got to
Tess : Ah , I found your secret baby stash , and I took the liberty of using one of the portable cribs and some blankets . You do nt mind , do you ?
Todd : No , no .
Tess : And I found the cutest little green frog . Bree was drooling all over it .
Todd : Yeah , I m glad she likes it .
Tess : Yeah . You ve got a sweet set - up up there . You have quite the plan here , do nt you , Grandpa ?
Charlie : Okay , what makes you think that Jessica could have anything to do with Natalie and Jared s disappearance ?
Viki : Well , it would nt have been Jessica , would it ? It would have been Tess . The point is I have to find them , all of them . Because for one thing , when Jessie or Tess left , she took Bree with her , and I do not like the idea she s alone with that baby .
Charlie : Okay , but if Jessica is Tess , do you honestly think that she is a danger to her family and my son ?
Viki : If she s Tess , that means she s been lying to us for months about who she is and about what she s after .
Charlie : Boy , and she did blame Jared and Natalie for Nash s death , that s for sure .
Jared : Dance with me .
Natalie : To what music ?
Jared : Listen , you ll hear it .
Singer : You found courage to let your heart through and I do nt want to let you down it s a little late to give to how all this can all go wrong please believe me
Jared : How s your ankle ?
Natalie : I ca nt even feel it .
Marcie : Look , I-- I m not your enemy here .
Adriana : I know you re not , Marcie .
Marcie : I thought that we had cleared all of that up before you left for Paris . Just because I m friends with Gigi , does nt mean that you re not my friend , that I m not concerned about you .
Starr : You know what ? Actually , we re going to leave you two alone to talk .
Cole : Yeah , I should probably get going .
Starr : And I ll walk you to your car .
Marcie : Oh , well , take your time . Really , not a problem . Look at you . You re a mess . I mean , your clothes and your hair . It s a double mess . This is nt you .
Adriana : Do you really think that matters to me right now ?
Marcie : Well , I think that it should .
Adriana : Excuse me ?
Marcie : If Rex does wake up , do nt you want to look your best for him ? Do nt you want the first thing that he sees to be the woman that he fell in love with ?
Gigi : Oh , this ca nt be happening .
Marcie : Telemarketers . Sorry , I ll just turn it off . So come on , what do you say ? Will you let me help ?
Adriana : I guess I could use a couple of minutes to myself .
Marcie : Yeah . All - righty then , come on . Lead the way .
Charlie : Jared really was upset when Natalie did nt show up at the hospital to see Rex . I know that .
Viki : And right after that , he went to Bo s office . And then I talked to him last night , but he has not been seen or heard from since .
Charlie : Oh , my God .
Viki : Charlie , I am so , so sorry .
Charlie : Look , Jared loves Natalie with all his heart . If they are together , that is exactly where he wants to be . But I m telling you , I -- we need to find him .
Viki : Bo is working on that .
Charlie : What can I do ?
Viki : I have no idea .
Charlie : I mean , is there any possibility that we should poke around Jared and Natalie s room ? I mean , Jared has always been very organized . He might have left some kind of notes or something indicating what he was thinking , where he was going .
Viki : That s very smart . Let s do that .
Charlie : Okay .
Viki : Charlie ?
Charlie : Hmm ?
Viki : Thank you .
Charlie : For what ?
Viki : For being such a good man .
Charlie : I m not --
Viki : Yes , you are to me . And I am very , very grateful that you re here now .
Tina : Thanks a million , Todd . You have helped me in more ways than you will ever know .
Todd : You can stay one night , but Bree can stay as long as she wants . She s always welcome here .
Tess : Ah , no , no . You stick to stealing your own kid s kid . You do nt steal mine .
Todd : If you cared about your kid , you d let her go before you do to her what Niki Smith did to Jessica .
Tess : Okay , what did Tina want ?
Todd : Tina was rambling about some safe and her dog . Oh , and she also mentioned Natalie and her boyfriend .
Tess : And what did you tell her ?
Todd : Yeah , you know , if you did something to Natalie and her boyfriend that would put you in jail --
Tess : Oh , that s a hoot . You re really concerned about the law now .
Todd : I m not going down with you , Tess .
Tess : No one is going down , Todd . It s just a shame my plan did nt work out the way it was supposed to .
Todd : What plan is that ?
Tess : Are you worried about Natalie ? Do nt be . She got exactly what she wanted . Her and Jared are -- are together . You see , I do have a soft side . It must be the Jessica in me .
Todd : You re the one in Jessica . And let me tell you something . When she gets her footing back , she s going to boot your ass out .
Tess : Okay , now let me tell you something . You better go check on the mother of your joint grandchildren -- is that how it is ? Because her memory is starting to rev up . And if holding Bree has her remembering baby boys , imagine what s going to happen when she s bouncing her own grandchild on her knee , huh ? Huh ? Yeah , okay , mama s hungry . I m going to go to the kitchen . Good luck .
Todd : So Jessica and her kid are going to stay the night . They re having some problems with something .
Marty : Sure .
Todd : You okay ?
Marty : I just ca nt get that little boy out of my head . Who could he be ?
Cole : Crazy day , huh ?
Starr : Cole , are you okay ?
Cole : Yeah , I m okay .
Starr : I just know that reading those books , it made you think about your mom , and I just hope that it was in a good way .
Tina : Oh , do nt worry , David Vickers .
Tina : Mommy is on the way .
Charlie : I am really sorry , Viki . I could have sworn something would turn up .
Viki : Well , it s hardly your fault .
Charlie : And , you know , they barely seemed to be settled in . They re still living out of their suitcases .
Viki : Do you know with every second that goes by and I do nt hear from them , I m starting to conjure up the worst .
Charlie : Viki , Viki , Viki , we will find them , okay ? We will . Look , I do nt know where you and I stand with each other anymore , but for right now , the only thing that matters is you and I find our kids , okay ?
Viki : Oh , Charlie .
Natalie : Jared , thank you for taking me back to the ranch , even if it was just in our heads .
Jared : Well , thanks for coming .
Natalie : I m going to dream about being there every night instead of this place .
Jared : Good , because we ll be back there again when we re free .
Natalie : You really do nt think we re going to spend the rest of our lives in a Pennsylvania basement ?
Jared : What do you think ?
Natalie : I try not to because every time I start thinking , I get really scared .
Jared : Well , then do nt think , feel . Feel how close we are right now and how close we were in that moment that I told you I loved you . Because we will be back under those Texas stars again soon , Natalie Buchanan . I promise you that .
John : I ca nt tell you what I m thinking , Bo . Too many people could get hurt if I float something out there and it ends up being false . I m not trying to be secretive , I just ca nt be wrong about this one .
Bo : So there s a lot at stake .
John : Could be .
Bo : I do nt like being kept in the dark , John .
John : I know , Bo . And listen to me . The minute I get any evidence , you re going to be the first to know about it .
Bo : Fine . And if you come up with anything on my niece while you re leaning on Manning --
John : It goes without saying . You want some help with this Jessica situation ?
Bo : Oh , yeah . Yeah , I do , but first , I ve got to find her .
Todd : I have no idea who that boy you remember could be . Sorry .
Marty : It s okay . I know you d tell me if you knew . But , um , I think you re right . I think I am going to turn in . I m pretty beat .
Todd : Yeah , yeah . You want me to come up with you and read to you ?
Marty : No , that s okay .
Todd : Do you think you ll sleep ?
Marty : Does nt matter . I just get so sick of not knowing who I am for real .
Todd : Well , you know , you are about to be a mother to a real baby who really needs you . That s pretty real , is nt it ?
Marty : Yeah . Good night .
Todd : Good night .
Cole : Yeah , I miss my mom , but I m okay . You know , I know that wherever Marty Saybrooke is now that she s at peace . I just wish I could say the same thing for Rex .
Starr : I know , me , too . There s no way to know that -- whether Rex is out cold or if he s awake .
Cole : Screaming his head off .
Starr : Would nt that be awful ? And no one can hear him .
Tess : Todd -- and this is purely out of curiosity -- how do you plan on stealing Starr s baby , hmm ?
Starr : Let me walk you to your car , okay ?
Adriana : Excuse me .

Eric : I ca nt believe how time goes so fast . Next week , my little girl , she s gon na be a year old .
Nicole : Brady s little girl . Your little girl is dead .
Nicole : Oh , you are never going to believe this . Are you okay ?
Eric : I , uh ... I had a dream .
Nicole : You wanna tell me about it ?
Eric : No , no , I m all right .
Nicole : No , you re not . It was about mickey , was nt it ?
Eric : You and I were shopping ... for her first birthday . I was so happy ... until you told me that she was nt my daughter . That my little girl was dead .
Nicole : Oh . I m so sorry . I m sorry .
Eli : This time I want the truth . Where the hell is kristen ?
Brady : [ Sighs ]
Lani : Kristen , open up , it s me .
Kristen : Hey .
Lani : Hey .
Kristen : Have you found rachel yet ?
Lani : No , not yet .
Kristen : Okay .
Lani : I m really sorry .
Kristen : No , it s okay-- it s just , I ve been thinking , and -- and I really -- you should not be here and I should nt ask for your help . You know , I do nt want to ruin your life like I did bradyS.
Maggie : Where have you been ? Did nt you get my message ?
Xander : I did .
Maggie : What took you so long ?
Xander : Why did you want to see me ?
Maggie : I would ve thought it would have been obvious .
Sarah : I m really sorry for hitting you like that . I just -- I could nt let you tell kristen where we are . I mean , rex , please , just think about it . How am I supposed to give my child to that maniac ?
Male announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives .
Brady : Eli , if you d stop and think about it , you d realize I have no idea where kristen is . I have nt seen her since she -- she was here yesterday . And I had a police escort to my own arraignment .
Eli : For something you did nt do .
Brady : If I did nt stab my grandfather , why the hell would I confess to it ?
Eli : To cover for kristen .
Brady : I would nt do that , man .
Eli : Brady , it s over . Victor woke up .
Brady : What ?
Eli : He made it very clear that you were nt the one that stabbed him .
Brady : He s -- he s alive ? He s alive , right ?
Eli : Yeah , he s alive and talking .
Brady : Is -- is he gon na be okay ?
Eli : I do nt know . You have to talk to his doctors about that . But right now , you need to tell me where kristen is . You see , after victor told me that you were nt the one who stabbed him , he told me who did . Yeah , she s wanted for attempted murder .
Lani : Look , kristen , we are in this together . Okay ?
Kristen : Okay .
Lani : You left your phone at the station last night , so I brought it back for you . It s dead , but I have a charger . Now drink your coffee while it s still hot .
Kristen : All right , you know , lani , I have been thinking about this all night long , and you just got back with eli , you just got your job back , and I -- I do nt want you to screw up your life for me .
Lani : Kristen , this is my decision , okay ? You did nt force me to do anything . Sarah stole your baby and all you re trying to do is get her back . And I will do anything that I can to help you .
Sarah : When you told me that brady was in jail , you have to see that I had no choice . I -- I had to do anything I could to keep you from telling kristen where we are -- I mean , rex , god , she wears masks and pretends to be other people . She --she let nicole think that her child , her daughter , was dead . Rex ... she kills people ! And I m just supposed to let her be mickey s mom ? I mean , she should nt even be at large , let alone have a child . When you called her ... I realized that I ca nt trust you any more than I can trust xander .
Xander : Is it about victor ?
Maggie : What are you talking about ? Is something wrong with victor ?
Xander : No , no , it s just he was very sorry he could nt make it to visit you yesterday .
Maggie : No . It s about sarah . The last time I saw her , she was here in her wedding dress . She was about to marry you . And she was so happy . And the next thing I know , the wedding s off . And I want to know why .
Xander : It was my fault .
Maggie : You know , for months , everyone was trying to warn sarah about you . But she knew what she was getting into . I need to know why she changed her mind . What are nt you telling me ? Anything from you , maggie .
Xander : I m not keeping anything from you , maggie . I just think the closer we got to the wedding , sarah started thinking about everything that went wrong with rex and just -- she got cold feet .
Maggie : But why did nt she tell me that ?
Xander : Well , she did nt want you to know , to worry about her .
Pam : Hey , maggie , sorry to hear about your old man .
Maggie : What -- what happened ?
Pam : You did nt know he got stabbed ?
Nicole : That must ve been horrible to wake up like that .
Eric : It s just I never know when it s gon na , you know , hit me . Just when I m starting to accept it , it just blindsided me again .
Nicole : I know . Grief has a life of its own , so I guess we just have to , I do nt know , ride the wave , waves ?
Eric : When you say we , that s what helps . Just knowing you and i and holly are we .
Nicole : And always will be .
Eric : When you came in , you looked like you were gon na tell me something .
Nicole : Oh , I -- not now .
Eric : No , it seemed important .
Nicole : Okay , well , it was on the news . And it turns out you and I were right , brady did nt stab victor . Kristen did .
Eric : She confessed ?
Nicole : No , victor woke up and told the cops it was kristen . And this will come as a surprise . She s gone missing .
Eric : Well , did they release brady ?
Nicole : Not yet . There s a lot of red tape , so that s gon na take a while .
Eric : Well , there s not much we can do right now except wait .
Nicole : Actually , um , I have an idea of something we can do .
Brady : What a surprise , huh ? Not only does my grandfather say that I did nt do it , his grandson , he says the person that did do it is kristen , the woman he despises more than anyone in the world . Yeah , because we both know that victor kiriakis , he always tells the truth .
Eli : Well , if kristen is innocent , why has she disappeared ?
Brady : What do you mean ?
Eli : It s like you said yesterday . She was here , you went to the arraignment , I went to the hospital . Everyone assumed that she went back to the salem inn , but she was nt there . No one had heard from her . What a coincidence , right ? Victor wakes up , says that she stabbed him , kristen dimera suddenly vanishes . Now I do nt know about you , but I think she s making a run for it .
Kristen : I need to say something to you . I ca nt believe that you are doing this for me , and I really , really do not want to drag you down with me like I --Ive done with brady .
Lani : Kristen , we have been over that , okay ? Look , we are best friends , and we are sticking together . And we are gon na get your little girl and we are gon na bring her back where she belongs . And that s with you .
Sarah : You re hungry , are nt you ? If I take it out , you have to swear , swear that you will not call for help . Do not make me regret this . It s the 6 : 10
Brady : Kristen s not making a run for it , eli . She s out there looking for our baby , since the police do nt seem to be .
Eli : Come on , man , that s bull , and you know it . We re gon na find sarah and the baby and we re damn sure gon na find kristen .
Brady : Just because victor says that she did it does nt make her guilty .
Eli : Yeah , and just because you said that she s innocent does nt make it true . Brady , I know what you re up to . All right , yesterday , you confessed because you knew that kristen was going to come in and turn herself in . You re protecting the mother of your child because you want her free when rachel s found .
Brady : I confessed because it was the truth .
Eli : Brady , did you and kristen have a plan ? Because I think that you put her up to it , maybe even found somewhere to hide out . I need you to tell me where the hell kristen is . The longer this drags out , the worse it is for her .
Lani : Your phone has enough power to check your messages .
Kristen : Okay . I wonder if sarah had a change of heart and actually called me .
Lani : Well , look , I think we tracked down anything that can possibly help us .
Kristen : All right , well , there s a 312 .
Lani : That -- that s chicago .
Kristen : I do nt recognize the number , though .
Lani : Okay , well , just listen to it .
Kristen : All right .
Rex : Kristen , hey , this is rex brady . Um , could you call me back as soon as you get this message ? It s really important . It s about--
Sarah : No .
Rex : You took the gag off . Did I scream ? I do nt think so .
Sarah : No , that s because you think you can talk me into letting you go , and it s just not gon na happen .
Rex : I almost did .
Sarah : Shut up .
Rex : No , last night , I almost convinced you ...
Sarah : That was last night !
Rex : ... That you can not lie to this girl for the rest of her life !
Sarah : You think that she should know the truth ? Do you think that she should know that her biological mother is a sociopath ? No , I m sorry , not a sociopath , she s a psychopath . She s a murderer . Do you think that she should know that she was conceived when her biological mother tricked her biological father into thinking that she was someone else ?
Rex : Yeah , look , I get it , just add it to the long laundry list of bad things that kristen dimera has done .
Sarah : Oh , my god ! Rex , how can you be so flip about this ? It is not about bad things . She did the worst thing that you could possibly do . She murdered another human being !
Rex : I know , and there is a very large social and legal network that will protect mackenzie .
Sarah : Oh , my god . Right . God , why did nt I think of that ? So this -- this large social and legal network , they re gonna -- they re gon na move in with kristen and mackenzie ? They re gon na monitor them and follow them wherever they go and make sure that kristen dimera , who is genetically predestined just by the virtue of her name , to do crazy and/or evil things , does nt in fact do anything crazy or evil ?
Rex : And what you re doing right now is not crazy ?
Sarah : Oh , god , I m putting the gag back on .
Rex : No , no , no , stop , stop -- listen . You are making decisions based on what you think is best , your decisions . You re trying to play god right now , are you kidding me ? That s something kristen dimera does or victor kiriakis !
Sarah : Just shut up ! Brady will go to prison . My mother is in prison , which means that my little girl could end up alone in that mausoleum with kristen and victor .
Rex : She is not your little girl .
Sarah : No little girl should have to go through that .
Rex : I understand that you ve been through a lot of trauma , okay , with -- with the accident and the baby switch . But I also know when you recover from that trauma , you will regret everything that you re doing right now . Everything that you ve done !
Sarah : Are you done eating ? Because you are done talking .
Maggie : He was stabbed ! Oh , god , is he all right ?
Xander : You ve got a big mouth , you know that ?
Maggie : For telling me that he was stabbed ? What , did you think I did nt need to know this ? How is he ?
Xander : He s fine . Lost a little bit of blood , that s all .
Maggie : And you were nt gon na tell me ? You said he was sorry he could nt come to visit and you just skipped over the fact that he was stabbed ?
Xander : He s gon na be okay .
Maggie : Who did it ?
Xander : Does it matter ?
Pam : It was his grandson . Brady something .
Maggie : What ? Is that true ? But why ? Why , xander ? Damn it , tell me why ! Serest though , all right ?
Nicole : Oh , you re not ?
Holly : I m not hungry .
Nicole : Oh , you re not ? Hmm , okay . Well , you can go play in the playground . Mommy will clean up here and then I ll push you on a swing , okay ? Just stay where we can see you , though , all right ? Go , go , go , go , go ! You okay ?
Eric : Yeah . Why ?
Nicole : Because I realized-- and being me , my realizations always come too late , or always come after the damage is done--
Eric : Nicole , I do nt know what you re talking about .
Nicole : I -- I m just saying that maybe this is just over - the - top .
Eric : I m sorry . I m still lost .
Nicole : Eric , I know that you re grieving over mickey and here I drag you to a picnic with holly , and--
Eric : Nicole ...
Nicole : Demonstrating , once again , my stunning insensitivity and I am so sorry . Look , I -- I do nt think that holly could replace mickey or that you need cheering up , and I hate when people tell other people not to feel what they re feeling or just to get over it , and I just want us -- I just want us to -- you re not alone . That s all I m trying to say .
Eric : Nicole , if this is over - the - top , it s exactly what I need . I know you re trying not to allow me to forget mickey . You re reminding me that there are other important things in my life . Wonderful things . Like you . And that potato salad . [ Laughter ] And pushing holly on a swing . So I--
Nicole : Hey . I love you .
Eric : It works out well because I m crazy about you . Holly , here I come !
Kristen : I have nt talked to rex in years .
Lani : Yeah , and he-- he left salem a while ago .
Kristen : Yeah , and sarah dumped him for eric . Oh , my god , do you think he knows where she is ?
Rex : No , you -- you do nt have to do that . I ll stop .
Sarah : No , you wonT. SRex : I swear .
Sarah : I do nt believe you . I think that you re enjoying this .
Rex : You think that I m enjoying something that is hurting you so much ?
Sarah : What s that saying ? Revenge is a dish best served cold .
Rex : Oh , my god . Is that what you think this is about ? Sarah , I am trying to help you because I care about you .
Sarah : Oh . That s so sweet . Thank you . I m touched , rex , honestly , I am .
Rex : God , would you stop with the sarcasm for just a second ? After everything we ve been through , we are still friends . Because , sarah , you are the most kind and loyal and compassionate and intelligent--
Sarah : Oh , I can see through it , rex ; you can just stop . All right ?
Rex : I love you as a friend , sarah , and I only want what s best for you , so there s nothing to see through !
Sarah : Fine . You love me as a friend . You still do nt know what s best for me . You never did .
Rex : I made you angry , I get that .
Sarah : Oh , how incredibly perceptive of you , rex . Not to mention unimaginably laughable and arrogant . I mean , you-- how dare you preach to me about what is right and best for me ? You ! The man who said that he loved me . That I was the one . You wanted to spend the rest of your life with me , and then you go and knock up another woman .
Rex : Okay , can we not dredge this again ? I have acknowledged my wrongdoing , my stupidity . Come on , this is not the conversation we need to be having right now , sarah . We need to be talking about you and this baby and who she belongs to . And how your decisions right now are not just gon na end badly for you and for her , but for all those involved and concerned . Just look at me , please !
Sarah : You do nt understand .
Rex : I do . I do . I understand how you think about losing this little girl . I mean , I -- and how painful that could be , beyond words .
Sarah : It is . God , this is such a mess . It s not a mess . It s a nightmare . The night of that accident , what-- what happened , I-- I do nt think I m ever gon na recover from it . I know I wonT.
Rex : I really am so sorry . Oh , god , honey .
Sarah : [ Sobs ]
Rex : Look ... oh , god , I -- I get it . I do . I can see that you do nt think you can handle any more loss . I know . But that being said , you have to face some facts right now .
Sarah : What facts ?
Rex : I was supposed to go home yesterday . Which means that I -- I m supposed to show up for work at the hospital today . And if I do nt show up , people are gon na wonder where I am , and they know that paris is the last place I was . So they will come looking for me here . [ Phone rings ] That s probably them . Can you-- can you get that ? [ Ringing continues ] Yeah , yeah , it s -- it s the hospital . Sarah , you have to let me take this . Please .
Xander : Please , I have a lot to tell her and not much time . Please .
Maggie : You need to tell me everything . And if you do nt , we have internet access here . I can find out what it is you re not telling me . So what happened ? Why did brady stab victor ? And do nt tell me it was because he gave you brady s job , because that was over a year ago , and you do nt wait a year to stab someone . But-- but when brady gets to the end of his rope , he drinks . So something horrible must have happened to make him violent .
Xander : It was nt brady that stabbed him .
Maggie : Well , then who was it ?
Xander : Kristen . This is what it s all about . take this call , thin
Rex : Sarah , if I do nt take this call , things are gon na get a whole lot worse . [ Ringing continues ] Sarah ! What if it s a patient ?
Sarah : There are other doctors .
Brady : Look , eli , if-- if I knew where kristen was , I would tell you . Because she has no reason to hide , she is innocent . And according to you , I m innocent as well . So how about this , why do nt you let me go ? And I can help you find her , I can bring her back here .
Eli : Nice try . But until we find kristen , we have to assume that you re a coconspirator . I m not going anywhere .
Maggie : Kristen stabbed him ? Why ?
Xander : Well , you know she s always hated him .
Maggie : Yes , what why ? Something must have happened .
Xander : Maybe the voices in her head told her to . She s always been crazy . She --she pushed that nurse down the stairs .
Maggie : Well , because the poor nurse had just told her that her baby was dead . There was a trigger then . And there was a trigger now . Ah , victor did or said something to set her off .
Xander : I do nt know . I swear . All -- all I know is that brady confessed to protect kristen .
Maggie : Did you talk to her or to brady ?
Xander : No .
Maggie : Kristen stabs victor . Brady covers for her . But you do nt seem all that interested . You know , from the moment you got here , you ve been trying to keep me from knowing the truth by dodging my questions . Just like will did when i asked him why you and sarah had called off the wedding . And julie , she wanted to tell me something , and will did everything he could to stop her . And now you . You all think you re trying to protect me , do nt you ? From what , xander ? From what ? I m telling you , xander , one way or another , I m gon na find out what s going on . Would nt it be best for me if I heard it from you ?
Xander : I-- I do nt think I can do it . Unpredictable crohn s symptoms following you ? And weric has the exclus
Eric : The one and only
Eric : Oh , my god . We have some breaking news . So listen up !
Nicole : Whoo !
Eric : The one and only miss holly jonas at 11 : 57 climbed to the very tip - top , without any adult assistance , of the monkey bars . And weric has the exclusive footage of this event ! Yay !
Nicole : Oh ! That s great , holly !
Eric : Yes , it is . And after a flawless descent , miss jonas reported that she is never climbing to the monkey bars again because they are too little and she is not a baby .
Nicole : Oh , my goodness .
Eric : And without a reasonable doubt , we can say that you re a big girl .
Nicole : Oh . He is so silly , is nt he ? Yes .
Eric : Look at this . Hey , walter cronkite , when he first covered neil armstrong walking the moon , did nt call him silly .
Nicole : Well , I am so glad you got video . We re gon na have to send that to grandma maggie . Yes . Oh , my goodness , I am so proud of you . I love you .
Eric : Me too , kid .
Holly : I love you , daddy .
Brady : You re kind of throwing your weight around here , eli . You know , you tell me I did nt stab my grandfather but you wo nt let me go .
Eli : Damn it , man , look-- she threw haley down a flight of stairs . Okay , she stabbed your grandfather in the heart . The woman is a menace . Brady , please . Think about it . What if she finds sarah ? What happens then ? What , do you think she s gon na show restraint or is she gon na grab a knife ? What if she finds rachel ? Damn it , brady , please , man ! You got ta help me out here ! Where is she ?
Brady : Eli , I do nt know . I have no idea where she is .
Eli : Then who would she turn to for help ?
Brady : I -- no -- no one I can think of , I do nt know . Stefano s dead . Tony s gone . Chad would never help her in this kind of scenario . So she does nt exactly have a lot of friends , eli .
Eli : Except for lani .
Lani : Thank you so much for your help , dr . Betts . You , too . [ Beep ] Rex did nt show up for work this morning . Apparently he went to a medical conference and never came back .
Kristen : Well , where is it ?
Lani : Paris .
Rex : Sarah , all you did was just delay the inevitable . Because everybody s been looking for you and now they re gon na come looking for me .
Sarah : Shut up !
Rex : Nobody is going to blame you for what you ve done . But the longer you run , the worse it s gon na be .
Sarah : Just shut up !
Rex : Look , there s -- I know that I m the last person in the world that you wanted to see . But there s got to be-- there s got to be someone , someone you trust . That you can talk to , that can help you .
Sarah : Someone I trust . Who the hell do I trust ? I have been lied to over and over and over again . Every second of my life since the baby was born has been a lie ! So I do nt trust anyone !
Rex : What about your mom ?
Maggie : Fine ! Then get the hell out of here !
Xander : Maggie , I--
Maggie : Listen , if you do nt tell me the truth , and I mean all of it , you are wasting my time . And the second you re out of here , I m gon na call sarah and I m gon na tell her I want to see her right now .
Xander : No , maggie , you ca nt do that .
Maggie : Oh , you ca nt stop me ! Guard ! Guard !
Xander : Maggie , no , no--
Maggie : We re done here .
Xander : Please , just ... just sit down . Please . I ll tell you everything .
Maggie : Why did kristen stab victor ?
Xander : Because-- because he let her believe that her baby was dead .
Maggie : She went insane ? She thought her baby was still alive ?
Xander : She s right , maggie . Brady and kristen s baby is alive . Your migraine strikes , and the struggle is real . Ke a morning
Eric : Did you tell her to say that ?
Nicole : I didnT. I -- I wouldnT. Sweetheart , you know daddy s in heaven , right ?
Holly : I know , but can i call eric my daddy down here ?
Nicole : Well , it s okay with me if it s okay with eric .
Eric : Yeah , I d like that . I d like that very much .
Nicole : Oh .
Eric : Oh .
Nicole : Oh . Ooh . [ Chuckles ] Love you .
Kristen : All right . We know that sarah took the titan jet to london . She must have taken a train to paris to meet up with rex .
Lani : No , kristen , I -- I really think you re getting ahead of yourself .
Kristen : No , no , no , no . I mean ... why else would rex be calling me ? He knows that sarah and rachel are in paris . That s -- that s got to be it .
Sarah : You want me to call my mother ? My mother ?
Rex : Yeah , sarah--
Sarah : I mean , that just goes to show how ridiculously clueless you are . You want me to call my mother , of all people , rex ? Have you forgotten that she s a drunk ?
Rex : Okay , but you know , she s still a good woman , and you two are very close .
Sarah : Things change . People are close , things happen , they re not close anymore .
Rex : Yeah , okay , I still do nt understand what could ve happened .
Sarah : My baby died !
Rex : Yes , I understand that , but what does that have to do with your mother ?
Sarah : Everything ! You see ... my mother is the one who killed her .
Maggie : If her baby is still alive , where is she ? Where is she ?
Xander : With sarah . It was nt brady and kristen s baby that died that night . It was sarahS.

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Deacon : Jackie , listen to me . Ridge could be the father of Brooke s baby . Now , come on , you ca nt keep that a secret . No , Brooke wants to be with him . If there s any possibility of that happening , they need to know this .
Caitlin : Dad , let me explain .
Hector : You can explain at home .
Caitlin : I ca nt just leave . This is my --
Hector : This is your job ? This is where you ve been working ?
Caitlin : Yes . I m sorry that I lied to you .
Hector : You lied about your name . You told these people your name s Ross . Your name is Ramirez . Caitlin Ramirez ! Are you ashamed of us ?
Caitlin : Dad , no . No . Of course not . It s not what you think .
Hector : I do nt know what to think , Caitlin . You ve been running around behind my back --
Thomas : Sir -- Mr. Ramirez ? You should know , this internship is a real honor . My grandfather got over a 100 applic --
Hector : Your grandfather ?
Thomas : Eric Forrester .
Caitlin : Thomas , it s okay .
Hector : Thomas Forrester . That s right .
Thomas : Yes , it is .
Hector : This is the boy you ve been seeing ?
Ridge : Rick , hey . Your mom around ?
Rick : I was just leaving her a note .
Ridge : You do nt know where she is ?
Rick : Nope . And I do nt know when she ll be back .
Ridge : I probably should nt hang around then .
Rick : You probably should nt even be here .
Stephanie : What s wrong ?
Brooke : Oh -- well , it s just kind of strange . Coming back here and walking through the halls . I mean , this was such a big part of my life .
Stephanie : And you miss it .
Brooke : Feels like I m missing a lot these days .
Stephanie : Well , change is nt always easy .
Brooke : That is certainly true . Stephanie even if it s your own decision . You need a pep talk ?
Brooke : Am I that transparent ?
Stephanie : Yes . Come on in . Sit down .
Brooke : Oh , Stephanie , I m trying to move on . I really am .
Stephanie : Well , that s good .
Brooke : Nick is -- he s a wonderful guy , and he really cares about me . He s so good with Hope .
Stephanie : But ?
Brooke : Well , there should nt be a but . We re having a baby . And Nick really wants to share a life with me . And I want to do what s best for my child . And as much as I love Ridge , I have to do what s right for my son .
Deacon : Okay , fine . I gave you a shot . Now I m gon na go tell Brooke .
Jackie : No , Deacon . You re making a mistake . Brooke has suffered enough . She ended her marriage . She left Ridge and the children . She s been through hell .
Deacon : You could have stopped all that , could nt you ?
Jackie : Oh , I could have told her that there was a problem with the lab , yes . But would that have been in Brooke s best interest ?
Deacon : Gee , do nt you think maybe that was her decision to make ?
Jackie : She made her decision , and I m not gon na put her in a position where she has to make it again .
Deacon : She made the decision without having all the facts .
Jackie : Yeah , and neither do you . You are assuming that the results were wrong , that Nicky is not the father . But I never said that . In fact , there is a very , very strong chance that Nicky is the father of the baby , which is why I have nt said anything . And why I m not going to . Not to Brooke , not to anyone . And neither are you .
Stephanie : Ridge will always be in your life .
Brooke : And that s what makes this so hard . How do I give Nick any chance when I ca nt forgive the life I ve always wanted with Ridge ?
Stephanie : I think you just need some time .
Brooke : The baby s coming . I do nt want him born into all this confusion .
Stephanie : He wo nt be .
Brooke : Well , how can you be so sure ?
Stephanie : Because you are making decisions based on what s best for him and not yourself .
Brooke : And the old me would nt have done that ?
Stephanie : No .
Brooke : You re right . I let my heart rule my life , and my children got hurt because of it . I mean , I took them away from their father and -- and I tore their family apart . And I just wo nt do that again .
Stephanie : See ? You re trying to be a better person . And I certainly respect that . [ Brooke laughs ] That s funny ?
Brooke : I had this dream about Taylor . And she said pretty much the same thing .
Stephanie : Well , maybe , subconsciously , that s just something you needed to hear .
Brooke : From you and Taylor . Especially after everything I put you through .
Stephanie : Have you eaten ?
Brooke : I m fine , Stephanie . I just have a lot on my mind .
Stephanie : Well , I m meeting Samantha . Her mother s here in town , and I m going to join them for lunch .
Brooke : Lunch with Samantha Kelly ? Now , that s pretty ironic .
Stephanie : I just thought maybe you d like to get out .
Brooke : Well , not today .
Stephanie : Another time .
Brooke : Maybe . With you and me .
Stephanie : Maybe .
Brooke : Thank you .
Stephanie : It ll all work out . It just takes time . You ll see .
Ridge : So you want me to leave your mother alone .
Rick : I want my mother to be happy .
Ridge : She was happy with me , Rick .
Rick : Well , she s not with you anymore , Ridge . And she s not going to be .
Ridge : You think she s better off with Nick ?
Rick : She could be . If you d stop hanging around , maybe she d have a chance to find that out . And do nt tell me that s not true , because I know it is . Okay ? I grew up with my mother s disappointment , always wanting something that she could nt have . Do you have any idea what that s like for a kid ? Bridget and I tried desperately to fill that hole in her life , but , no matter how hard we tried , we failed . Mom wants to raise hope and Nick s son in a different way .
Ridge : So she gave up the life she always wanted , then ?
Rick : She chose a new life . One where those children are her number one priority . And if Nick wants to be a part of that , I say more power to him .
Ridge : Great . Great , great , I ca nt believe you re taking his side in this .
Rick : No , Ridge , I m not . If I m anyone s side , it s my mother s .
Deacon : So you do nt think I ll do it ?
Jackie : I think that if you were ready to go to Brooke with this , you would nt be here having a drink with me .
Deacon : Jackie , please tell me that you do nt think I m bluffin .
Jackie : Oh , no , this is nt a game to you . I know how much you care about Brooke .
Deacon : I thought that you did , too .
Jackie : I do .
Deacon : Then how the hell can you keep this a secret ? Brooke loves Ridge , and if there s a chance that those two could together , I got ta help her find it .
Jackie : You are not going to accomplish anything , deacon . Except put Brooke and her family through pain -- again . Is that what you want ?
Deacon : Wait a second , now who s making assumptions ? You do nt know any more about those tests than I do .
Jackie : I know that Bridget will never forgive you if you put her mother through this again .
Deacon : Ooh , you re good .
Jackie : Brooke and Ridge -- they re finally getting on with their lives . They re starting to heal .
Deacon : No , they re miserable . And you might not be willing to do anything about this , but I am . Right now .
Jackie : No -- Deacon . Deacon , please , wait !
Nick : Hey . You okay ? What s going on ?
Caitlin : This is nt Thomas fault , dad .
Hector : Did your grandfather know that Caitlin was keeping this job a secret from me ?
Thomas : No , sir .
Hector : But you did .
Caitlin : Thomas wanted me to tell you the truth . I just -- I knew this is how you d react .
Hector : And you do nt think I have a reason to feel disappointed ?
Caitlin : I worked really hard for this internship , dad .
Hector : You ve worked even harder to keep it a secret from me .
Thomas : She was scared you d make her quit .
Caitlin : This job is really important to me .
Thomas : She s good at it .
Hector : I m sure she is and I m sure your family s very encouraging . But I did not raise my daughter this way . This is not what we re about .
Thomas : You do nt want her to be a success ?
Hector : Einstein once said , Try not to be a man of success but rather a man of value .
Thomas : You do nt think what we do is valuable ?
Hector : Look , I m not trying to insult you or your family . But I know how seductive this business can be . The promise of fame and fortune --
Caitlin : And that s not why I m here .
Thomas : Mr. Ramirez , your daughter is incredibly talented . And she has a real opportunity here at Forrester .
Caitlin : People are depending on me , dad . I have responsibilities .
Thomas : She s an important part of our team .
Caitlin : And I m learning so much about fashion and business . Please do nt take that away from me , dad . Please , dad , do nt make me leave . I love it here .
Rick : You know maybe if you took a step back , you d see that mom and Nick could be good for each other .
Brooke : Rick ? What are you doing here ?
Rick : Oh , I m just checkin in . But , uh , I should probably get going . You re probably really swamped .
Brooke : I am . But I m glad you to stopped by .
Rick : It s good to see you .
Brooke : It s good to see you , too .
Rick : Coming , Ridge ?
Ridge : I need to speak to your mother .
Brooke : Bye , honey .
Rick : Bye .
Brooke : Were you and Rick arguing ?
Ridge : No .
Brooke : Ridge , it seemed a little tense when I walked in here .
Ridge : He s just not real thrilled that I was here , that s all .
Brooke : He s just being protective .
Ridge : He does nt have to protect you from me . But a lot of what he said was nt far off the mark either . You want to do right by your children . Give them the kind of life you were nt able to give Rick and Bridget -- I understand that , Brooke . But that s not the only issue here .
Brooke : This affects your family , too .
Ridge : The kids really miss you . And I do , too . I know I should nt say that . But I ca nt just stand here and pretend that I m not in love with you , Brooke -- because I am . I am . But if you need to move on with your life , now then maybe I should take Rick s advice and move on with mine .
Nick : Was that Deacon Sharpe ?
Jackie : Uh , yeah , I think so .
Nick : You think so ? It looked like you were ready to follow him out . What s going on ?
Hector : Caitlin , you re a creative girl . You want to use your talents .
Caitlin : And I can do that here at Forrester .
Hector : This is nt who you are .
Caitlin : Yes , dad , it is . It is a part of me . A big part . Being a designer . Working at a major fashion house . This is my dream .
Stephanie : Tom -- oh . Excuse me . Caitlin , hi .
Stephanie : Hi , I want to tell you something . Eric thinks you re doing a wonderful job here .
Caitlin : Thank you . Thank you .
Thomas : Oh , grandma , this is her father -- Mr. Ramirez .
Stephanie : Hector Ramirez ?
Hector : Yes .
Stephanie : Well , it s wonderful to see you again . It s quite a coincidence .
Hector : Small world .
Stephanie : Yes , indeed it is . Excuse me .
Stephanie : Tom , um , I came to tell you -- I ca nt -- I ca nt give you a ride home this afternoon . I m having a late lunch with Samantha Kelly , then I m not coming back to the office .
Thomas : Oh , that s okay . I ll grab a ride with grandpa .
Stephanie : Oh , great .
Hector : We re leaving , too . Caitlin ? .
Caitlin : No , dad , I was nt done --
Hector : We re going . Now .
Thomas : You ll be back tomorrow , right ? Caitlin ?
Nick : Did deacon say something to upset you ?
Jackie : No , no .
Nick : You seem a little tense to me .
Jackie : I m absolutely fine .
Nick : I mentioned that Brooke called and invited me over . I have been at the pool , playing with her daughter , hope and her all day .
Jackie : Darling , that s so lovely -- like a family .
Nick : We ll talk about it at lunch , okay ? Can we get a table -- I m starving .
Jackie : Nicky , I m sorry . I ca nt have lunch .
Nick : We had a date .
Jackie : I know . I know we did , but something s come up and it s --
Nick : What s the matter ?
Jackie : No , I just --
Nick : Mother ?
Jackie : I have to take care of it , okay ? I ll see you later . Enjoy .
Brooke : Rick told you to move on ?
Ridge : He thinks that seeing me is too painful for you .
Brooke : I m not going to lie to you , Ridge . It hurts . And it probably will for a while .
Brooke : I was on a high .
Ridge : I felt it , too , Brooke . We shared something . Both of us seeing Taylor that way . It did nt seem like a coincidence .
Brooke : Well , how else would you describe it ?
Ridge : Hey , you re the one that s always talking about signs . That dream brought us together . Taylor brought us together .
Brooke : Ridge , do nt .
Ridge : Oh , you have nt thought about this ?
Brooke : I have to think about my children . I have to think about hope and this baby . Your brother s baby .
Ridge : I do nt want to talk about nick any more .
Brooke : Ridge , this is a reality now , and we have to deal with it . Look , I m trying to do what s right . I m trying to do the ethical thing .
Ridge : Well , I wish I shared your sympathy there . But this is tearing me apart .
Brooke : Me , too .

After all this time -- after everything we ve been through . And now , here we are . I m trying to be strong . I trying to be strong -- and I m trying to cope with it . I just do nt know what else to do .

### Dialogue:
Bill : [ Sighs ] How s Will ?
Katie : Uh , he s fine . Teresa is reading him a story .
Bill : Should nt Teresa have left by now ?
Katie : I asked her to stay . I do nt want any interruptions . You avoided answering me at Forrester , and I m not going to let you continue to avoid me . I need to know that you re not going to say anything about this .
Bill : This being Ridge s little secret ? That Thomas is the baby s father ?
Katie : You ca nt say anything to anyone . I need to hear you say it .
Thomas : You got him to sleep quick .
Ridge : Yeah .
Thomas : So , you really would nt have told me about Douglas if it was nt for Katie .
Ridge : Does that matter ? Really ? You know the truth , and telling you was the right thing to do . Now you , me , and Caroline -- we got to protect that little boy . That s why we got to keep this secret .
Rick : Why is the coffee always cold ?
Brooke : Did Lizzy keep you up all night ?
Rick : Much of it . Why ?
Brooke : You seem extra grumpy today .
Rick : [ Sighs ] I do nt know . I just got a lot on my mind .
Brooke : What is it ?
Rick : [ Sighs ] Mom , I think it s time for Maya and Lizzy and me to move on , to leave Los Angeles .
Brooke : What ?
Rick : I just ca nt do it anymore . I ca nt put up with Ridge .
Steffy : How did you take a selfie in this pose ?
Caroline : [ Laughs ]
Steffy : That is some talent , girl .
Caroline : Well , it was my post - natal yoga class , so I wanted to document it .
Steffy : That s good you re taking some time out for yourself .
Caroline : Mm , look at that . Liam liked it . It s nice to have him back , you know , liking my posts again . [ Chuckles ] I still ca nt believe that Quinn is getting away with this . Or that she claims to have fallen for him .
Steffy : Quinn can claim whatever she wants . As long as she stays away from Liam .
Liam : [ Sighs ]
Steffy : Liam ! Liam ... Liam ...
Quinn : Liam . Hi .
Liam : Geez !
Quinn : Oh ! Um , the door was open .
Liam : Yeah , I ll be sure to lock it on your way out , which is now .
Quinn : Look , I know I m the last person you probably want to see right now .
Liam : Agreed .
Quinn : I just -- I ca nt stop thinking about us . And the time we spent together . Can you ?
Bill : That fraud is lying to the world , and you want to keep it quiet .
Katie : This is not just Ridge s secret . Think about what this will do to Caroline . It s none of our business ! It s been Ridge and Caroline and Thomas . Let them handle it .
Bill : You mean let Ridge manipulate two young parents , because that is exactly what s going to happen if we do nothing !
Katie : I confided in you because you are my husband , and we do nt keep secrets from each other . And as your wife , I expect you to respect me enough to keep that confidence .
Bill : Fine .
Katie : The words , Bill .
Bill : I promise .
Thomas : Keep the secret ...
Ridge : I know you re drawn to Douglas . Of course , you are . But Caroline and I , we re a family . We re married . It s what the kid needs . You ca nt give him that . Be a big brother . It s what s best for Douglas .
Brooke : You re not leaving Los Angeles .
Rick : Mom .
Brooke : Bridget lives across the country , Hope lives across the world , and RJ hardly ever visits anymore . So , no , you re not leaving .
Rick : I have to .
Brooke : This company would not be the same without you . And I know you like working here .
Rick : Except for one very important aspect .
Brooke : Ridge .
Caroline : Quinn will stay away from Liam . I mean , she ca nt think that he d want anything to do with her .
Steffy : She s delusional . Who knows what she thinks ?
Caroline : [ Sighs ]
Steffy : I just ca nt believe she s not in jail right now . Ugh . I just -- I want her to go away .
Caroline : This has been really tough on you .
Steffy : No , I m not -- I m not worried about myself .
Caroline : I m worried about you . Just because you re married to Wyatt does nt mean that you turn off your feelings for Liam . You love him , Steffy . You always will .
Liam : Stop thinking about our time together ? Now , how would I do that ? You ve scarred me for the rest of my life .
Quinn : Oh , no , do nt say that . Do nt . [ Scoffs ] We had something .
Liam : No , you had something with Adam , never with me .
Quinn : Well , maybe Liam could love me just as much . Who knows ? Maybe -- maybe even more !
Brooke : What if -- thank you -- you worked from home ? Take away dealing with Ridge every day .
Rick : I m always gon na be under his thumb , Mom . Dad backs him even though he s a Marone . I mean , how can I raise my daughter here ? I do nt want her thinking that her possibilities are gon na be limited , and that s exactly what s gon na happen if I stay here . And I do nt want her feeling like she s gon na be some sort of afterthought because of Ridge and his children . Maya and I , we were thinking -- maybe it s time we open our own company . You know , give Lizzy something that she can proud of .
Brooke : Yes . Do that . Open up your own company here in Los Angeles .
Rick : No , no , no , no , no . It s too much baggage . I want a clean break . I know it must be a shock .
Brooke : Yeah . It is . You just started living with me , and it s been so nice -- hearing footsteps and laughter and being able to have meals with you now and then and seeing Lizzy grow up every single day . And now you say it s -- you re gon na just take it all away , that you re leaving .
Rick : Just know that this is something that I do nt want . But Ridge has left me no other choice .
Liam : There is no part of me that can look back on what you did as something good . I m not just gon na transfer my feelings as Adam into the life I m living now , Quinn .
Quinn : That s because you re thinking about who I used to be . That s a mistake . You have to remember how you changed me , how -- how taking care of you --
Liam : Oh , you mean -- you mean holding me hostage ? Did that change you ? Oh . Well , you did nt stab me . I suppose that shows tremendous personal growth on your part .
Quinn : Come on . Do nt make a joke . This means something to me . [ Sighs ] I just -- I just wish you could understand how being with you affected me , and --
Liam : Yeah , and I wish you could understand how much I do not care . I m gon na -- I m gon na say this once , and then I hope I never see you again . Changed or not , the only feeling I have left for you is hatred . The woman I want to be with is Steffy . Always gon na be Steffy .
Steffy : [ Sighs ]
Caroline : Hello ! Back from yoga ! Namaste . [ Giggles ]
Ridge : How was it ?
Caroline : It was restorative .
Ridge : Hi .
Caroline : Hi . What s going on here ?
Ridge : Well , I think Thomas and I have come to an understanding , have nt we ?
Bill : Katie ran out for a bit .
Brooke : She did nt return my text .
Bill : You just missed her .
Brooke : Okay .
Bill : What s wrong ?
Brooke : Nothing .
Bill : Brooke .
Brooke : Rick is moving away .
Bill : Moving where ?
Brooke : He has nt decided . It s just -- he s done with Forrester Creations . So he s taking Maya and taking Lizzy and they re leaving town . Leaving me . All because of Ridge .
Thomas : We all want what s best for Douglas , so if that s what you mean by come to an understanding , then I agree .
Ridge : What I mean is to give him a loving family , a husband and wife --
Thomas : Yeah , you do nt have to hammer it in . I get it . We re at different stages in our lives . You re definitely better equipped to be a father than me . But I do nt want either of you thinking that this diminishes how much I care about Douglas , or that just because I m young and single I do nt deserve to be his father .
Caroline : No . No , of course not .
Thomas : And someday , whether I have a family or not , we are going to tell Douglas the truth . So , for now , I agree with you . Keep the secret .
Ridge : [ Sighs ] Thank you , Thomas . It means a lot .
Thomas : Yeah .
Brooke : Rick wants to move away and start his own company , away from Ridge . I certainly ca nt blame him .
Bill : But it hurts like hell .
Brooke : I do nt understand . I mean , he has everything . Eric s given him everything -- the house , the company , he s head designer , CEO . And Rick feels like it s all at his expense . I keep trying to get Ridge to make an effort with him and to talk to him , but he does nt . He just shuts him out . [ Sighs ] I do nt want to lose my son .
Bill : Maybe you wo nt have to . I know something . And if it got out , Rick would never leave .
Quinn : I can prove you wrong .
Liam : Excuse me ?
Quinn : I think your feelings for me are more complicated than you pretend .
Liam : Let s see . Nope . No , just hatred .
Quinn : No , see , if -- if you really felt that way , you would have pressed charges against me .
Liam : I wanted to ! You should be in jail right now .
Quinn : But you did nt because there s a part of you that can not let me go , right ?
Liam : I did nt because the case was too hard to prove . That s the only reason .
Quinn : No , that was just a small part of it .
Liam : The ... only ... reason .
Quinn : See , I think it s because you still feel --
Liam : No ! I m sorry . I m sorry . Understand me . I will never return your feelings . Not after what you took from me and not after the way you hurt me , and it is insane , literally not sane , for you to come here and expect me to want anything to do with you .
Quinn : I ca nt change the way I feel .
Liam : Yeah , neither can I. So , please , please stop believing there is ever gon na be a chance for us , because there s not . There is one woman -- one woman for me , one woman I want to spend the rest of my life with , and her name is Steffy . Do you understand that ? Just Steffy !
Quinn : Is this really how you want to spend your life ? Pining away for Steffy ? She s moved on ! She s with Wyatt now .
Liam : Yes , because of you . Because of your manipulations . You took my life and handed it to your son . And now you expect me to say , like , Oh , yeah , I ll just give up on the woman I love and go be with the sicko who took me from her instead . Not happening , Quinn . I m not giving up on Steffy . And , yes , I know she s married to Wyatt , and I know that she cares for him on some level , but it is nothing compared to the feelings she has for me . And how could it be ? After everything we ve been through together ... she s a part of me . Nothing you say can change that , and nothing you say can change my opinion of you .
Steffy : Or mine .
Quinn : What are you doing here ?
Steffy : You heard from Liam . Now it s time to hear from me .
Ridge : Hey , Thomas . You did the right thing . Is Douglas okay ?
Caroline : Yeah , he was just hungry .
Ridge : That s probably Katie . I texted her and asked her to come over .
Caroline : Uh , any reason ?
Ridge : I want her to see that the three of us , we can work this out . [ Opens door ] It is you . Come on in .
Katie : Hi . Uh , I got your text . What s going on ?
Ridge : Peace .
Katie : Peace .
Ridge : Peace among parents . You were right . Thomas had to know . Well , now he does , and Caroline and I are gon na raise Douglas as our son .
Thomas : And someday , when he s older , we ll tell him the truth .
Katie : Well , good . If that s something you re happy about ... I m glad you were able to work it out .
Ridge : Well , we re gon na keep working on it because it -- it s a work in progress . And the stakes are very high . Not just for Douglas sake but the sake of this family , the company . So we re all gon na agree that it does nt go any further than right here . That includes you . I can trust you , right ?
Katie : Yeah , of course .
Brooke : You know something that would make Rick stay ?
Bill : I believe so , yeah .
Brooke : What is it ? Rick has had it . He feels steamrolled by Ridge , and he s lost any hope of ever taking over the company again . And now he s ready to just pack up Maya and Lizzy and take off , leave town . I ca nt lose my son , so , please , if you know anything ...
Bill : Just tell Rick he should stay . Stick it out , all right ? Let s leave it at that .
Brooke : [ Scoffs ] I need something a little more concrete in order to convince him .
Bill : I know something -- something Ridge does nt want anyone to find out . And it could change things for Rick .
Brooke : If you know something that can help my son , you need to let me know what it is .
Bill : If it were my family , I d want to know , too . Ridge is toxic . And not just for Rick , for my niece , as well .
Brooke : This involves Caroline ?
Bill : Yes . Something he s gotten her to go along with . I mean , he s playing with people s lives , big time .
Brooke : What is it ? Bill , if you know something that can help me keep my son here in LA , please tell me about it . Please . I need to know what it is .
Bill : Ridge is not Douglas father .
Brooke : What are you talking about ? Yes , he is .
Bill : No , he is nt .
Brooke : You re not making any sense . So if he s not his father , who is ?
Bill : Thomas .

Kendall : No , no , we launch --
Simone : Yes !
Kendall : No , we launch October 7 . We ca nt afford to lose an hour of production .

Greenlee : You ca nt be fine . You almost got yourself killed .
Ryan : You should get some sleep .
Erin : No . No , not a chance . Not until we know Jonathan s all right . He s been in there for a really long time .
Ryan : Yeah , well , the doctor warned us about that .
Erin : What if -- what if it s too late , Ryan ? What if -- what if Jonathan --
Ryan : Do nt , do nt . Do nt , ok ? Jonathan s going to be fine . He s going to be fine .
Erin : Is it over ?
Ryan : How is he ? Doctor , is our brother going to be ok ?
Mimi : Tell me I did nt hear what you just said .
Danielle : I m sorry , Mom , but it s true . It s been going on for a while .
Mimi : What , exactly , has been going on ?
Danielle : Garret s been --
Danielle : He s been coming on to me .
Mimi : That s not possible . We re getting married tomorrow .
Danielle : I know -- I wish it were nt true , either , but it is . He s been trying to seduce me .
Julia : Tell me the name of the man who had Noah killed .
Di : Julia , put the gun away . I already told you I do nt know anything .
Julia : No , no more lies . I heard you and Tad from in there -- you know , all that stuff about love and the future . Thing is I m not in love with you . So now tell me The Dragon s name or you ll be dead all over again , this time for real . What
Tad : What the -- Perfect . That s just perfect . Flashlight . I do nt recall inviting you to turn my house into a mosh pit .
Zach : Ca nt take credit for that .
Tad : Oh , yeah ? You get your goons to do the heavy lifting ? By the way , nice touch on the lights - out .
Zach : You think I m responsible for rolling blackouts throughout the whole city ?
Tad : I would nt be surprised . Actually , you know what , I do nt care , but I m sure the police will be very interested .
Zach : I m sure they re going to be interested in your houseguest , as well .
Tad : What houseguest ? It s just a souvenir from a female admirer . So what ?
Zach : I bought this for Julia . I found it in the attic , along with some of her other stuff .
Tad : Why do nt you give your mouth a rest till the cops get here .
Zach : But we have so much to talk about -- your hiding a fugitive , interfering with a police investigation , etc . , etc . So go ahead , call the police , make your phone call .
Julia : Do nt try anything else . Noah taught me to protect myself against guys twice your size .
Di : I ca nt tell you anything !
Julia : Tad s not here to protect you . So if you want to live , tell me The Dragon s name .
Di : He s too dangerous . Forget about him .
Julia : Forget about the man who had my husband murdered ? Who buried me alive for nine years ? Who wants me dead ? I get that you re afraid , but I m not going to die because you re a coward .
Di : Julia , it s more complicated than us . Julia , it s more than your life or mine .
Julia : No , it s very simple , Dixie . You tell me his name . And no one is risking anything . You do nt have to worry about that bastard , because he s not going to make it to trial . He s not going to live long enough .
Mimi : Is Garret here ? Let s talk to him .
Danielle : Please , Ma , just you and me .
Mimi : Dani , there has to be some huge misunderstanding .
Danielle : I did nt want to believe it either at first . I kept telling myself I m overreacting , I m catching signals that really are nt there , but after tonight , I could nt ignore it anymore .
Mimi : Why do nt we just start from the beginning . Tell me exactly what happened . What did Garret do to you ?
Danielle : It started with these looks , weird vibes . He d eye me in a certain way .
Mimi : Can you tell me what way ?
Danielle : It s not like he leered or drooled or anything , but it made me uncomfortable . And then the things that he d say . I want us to have a special relationship . You re in charge of where this goes .
Mimi : Dani , sweetheart , do nt you think that this is a bit of a stretch ? Because has Garret done anything to you specifically ? Has he touched you ? Has he hurt you ?
Danielle : I was in bed one night asleep and something woke me up . He was there , just standing there in the doorway staring at me . He said he thought he heard glass shatter , but -- like someone breaking in , but only Spiderman could reach my window up here . And at the boutique when we were trying on dresses , Garret walked into my dressing room when my dress was unzipped , like it was the most natural thing in the world ! He looked at me as if --
Mimi : Dani , tell me .
Danielle : As if I was naked .
Mimi : Did he touch you ?
Danielle : No , but he zipped up my dress . It was the way in which he did it . I tried to ignore it . I did , Mom . But tonight --
Mimi : What happened ?
Danielle : I d just finished taking a shower . I was drying off , and Garret knew I was still in the bathroom -- he had to know -- and he just walked in without knocking . He saw me , Mom . I was naked , and he just looked at me , just stood there and looked at me . It was so dirty and creepy and it was just horrible . I m sorry . I m sorry , Mom .
Ryan : So it s done then ? You got all the tumor ? He s going to be all right ?
Dr. Marquay : Your brother s got a long road ahead of him , plenty of rehab , but , barring complications , he will live .
Erin : Like -- like how ? You said that there could be damage ?
Dr. Marquay : Well , we wo nt know about brain damage until he regains consciousness .
Ryan : And when do you think that is going to be ?
Dr. Marquay : We induced a coma to give his brain a chance to heal . Now , we ll monitor the intercranial pressure , and once the swelling goes down and the danger of infection has passed , well , we ll decrease the drugs , and then we ll bring him out of it . Well , that should be sooner rather than later .
Erin : Oh , thank you ! Thank you , thank you , thank you so much !
Dr. Marquay : I ll let you know when you can see him .
Ryan : Thank you very much , Doctor . Thank you so much .
Erin : Oh ! He s all right , Ryan . Jonathan s going to be all right .
Greenlee : Why did nt you tell me about the accident ?
Kendall : There was no accident .
Greenlee : I saw your car . It s totaled . The rear end is completely smashed up .
Kendall : All right , Greenlee , it s a nick , a bump , a dent .
Greenlee : So you admit it . There was an accident .
Kendall : Some guy was tailgating me . I stopped , he did nt , he bumped the back of car . I flipped him off , end of story .
Simone : Ok , there you go , everybody s ok . Let s get back to work .
Greenlee : A fender - bender is still an accident . It could ve been so much worse . If you d been on the highway --
Kendall : Ok , stop , Greenlee , please .
Greenlee : And if you were nt wearing your seat belt -- you were wearing your seat belt ?
Kendall : I did nt want to ruin my clothes .
Greenlee : Hold her , Simone .
Kendall : Greenlee , I m kidding , I m kidding ! I always wear my seat belt .
Greenlee : Ok , no driving for nine months . No bikes , no stepladders , no stairs , no workouts , no four - inch heels .
Kendall : Give me those . Come on , give those back . Give them back time . Give them back to me !
Simone : Oh , my gosh , will you stop fighting ? No wrestling !
Greenlee : This is for your own good and the baby s . You re a horrible driver . You could fall off those things and break something . You ll thank me later .
Kendall : Yeah , after I break your face .
Greenlee : I ll hire a chauffeur , on call 24 hours a day , anywhere you want to go . But not a cute one . I want no action in the back seat .
Kendall : I do nt want a driver ! And if I get action , it will not be in a back seat , ok ? What the hell is wrong with you ? The eggs have nt even been implanted yet .
Simone : Ok , come on , let s not go to medical procedures , ok ?
Greenlee : They re not going to have any place to land if you re in traction . You have to be responsible .
Kendall : Ok , Greenlee , I know what this is , all right ? You re completely stressed out -- all the hormones , the shots , the what - ifs .
Simone : Ok , come on , can we skip the whole play - by - play ?
Kendall : No , you just had your hormones out of whack , ok ? You need to go home , relax , calm down , sleep , ok , and you ll be sane tomorrow .
Greenlee : You re the one who should be in bed , by 10 : 00 every night . You should go home and rest . I ll call you , ok , so no sneaking out .
Kendall : I agreed to carry your baby . I did nt agree to let you control my life . Now , if this is part of the deal , the surrogacy is off .
Greenlee : You re backing out ? You wo nt carry my baby ?
Kendall : I did nt mean it , Greenlee , but you re driving me crazy , so I had to shut you up .
Simone : Well , it worked .
Greenlee : You could ve been hurt .
Kendall : I was nt . Not even a stiff neck or a sore finger .
Greenlee : You were lucky this time . But anything could happen . You take a turn too fast , you go off a cliff .
Kendall : Greenlee , I m safe . Ok ? I m here . I m not going anywhere . Nothing is going to happen to me . It s not like Ryan .
Greenlee : I know that . Maybe I do nt know that .
Kendall : Listen to me -- I want this baby just as much as you . I would never do anything to jeopardize that .
Greenlee : I overreacted , did nt I ?
Simone : Nah , just in a code - red kind of way .
Greenlee : I saw the dent in your car and I just -- it reminded me of Ryan . One minute he was here and then he was just -- gone .
Kendall : I m sorry .
Greenlee : No , no , no hugs . If you do , I ll totally lose it .
Simone : Oh , Greenlee , you re still grieving . It s ok .
Greenlee : I got to get out of here .
Kendall : Ok , well , where do you want to go ? I ll go with you .
Greenlee : No , I want to be alone .
Simone : That s not really a good idea . So wait up . I am a great driver . I have never even been in an accident -- well , outside of that one time --
Greenlee : Do nt you get it ? Just leave me alone .
Ryan : Finally some good news .
Erin : Oh , this is great news . This is fantastic news . Jonathan made it . He s alive . No more tumor , no more headaches . He wo nt hurt himself or anyone else . He ll just be safe and happy . He ll be the Jonathan he used to be .
Ryan : You know , a lot still could happen here . There s no guarantee that Jonathan will come out of this 100 % .
Erin : Jonathan will do it . We can be a real family . We can be the family Jonathan always wanted , the family we all always wanted . Hey . Where d you go ?
Ryan : To where the nightmare started -- when I got shot and I had no idea who did it . Never thought for a second it could be Jonathan . And I was in the hospital , touch and go for a while , and Greenlee never left my side .
Ryan s voice : More . More .
Greenlee s voice : No , the doctor was specific -- one kiss every 10 minutes . Any more could lead to stress overload .
Ryan : Greenlee , I want something .
Greenlee : Yeah . Yeah , I got that .
Ryan : I want to have your baby .
Greenlee : What ?
Ryan : I want us to have a baby .
Greenlee : I m going to do it , Ryan . I m going to have your baby , for us . It ll be a miracle . If only I could have two miracles . If only you could come back to me .
Mimi : Did you confront Garret ?
Danielle : I tried , but he just denied it , acted as if nothing ever happened , like it was all in my head .
Mimi : Dani , these are some very serious charges . Are you positive ?
Danielle : I would nt have come to you if I was nt . I thought I was crazy , too , but it s not like this only happened once or twice . It s whenever you re not around . He -- I just do nt want to be around him .
Mimi : And you waited until tonight , the night before my wedding , to tell me this ?
Danielle : You were so happy . I did nt want to ruin anything . I just told myself I d keep my mouth shut and live with Dad . You and Garret could get married , go back to New York , and live your dream life , no me around messing things up . But after what went down tonight , I could nt let it go anymore .
Danielle : What s happening ?
Mimi : Hold on . The whole block is out .
Danielle : I think Greenlee kept a flashlight in the closet .
Garret : Dani , it s just me . It s all right . I ll take care of you . [ Turning to Mimi ] Sweetheart . Did nt know you were home . What is it ? What s going on ?
Erin : You really miss your wife , do nt you ?
Ryan : Time heals all wounds . You ever hear that ? Well , it does nt . I mean , I thought it would get easier , but it s like a fresh bullet through my heart every single morning . I m just so tempted to -- I mean , I would give anything if I could just --
Erin : What ? Something about Greenlee ?
Ryan : Nah , it s crazy . I -- I mean , I would need you help .
Erin : Crazy ? Well , I m a Lavery . I m in . What do you need me to do ?
Greenlee : Ryan ? Ryan , why did you do this ? Why did you leave me ? I need you . I love you . God . I miss you so much . If only I could just see you again , touch you again .
Kendall : Greenlee , you ok ? Greenlee ?
Greenlee : Help me , Kendall . I m afraid .
Tad : You know something ? You should be grateful that Julia came to me , an old friend , somebody who s capable of doing something for her .
Zach : Julia s not here anymore . Maybe it s because the old friend started protecting his ex - wife . What do you think ?
Tad : I think you re upset because as soon as Julia realized you could nt do a damn thing for her , all those points you were going to score with Maria just evaporated . Well , it s not my problem . I do nt care . Get over it and get out .
Zach : Where is she ? When s the last time you saw her ?
Tad : She ll come back .
Zach : She wo nt come back . And you know she wo nt come back . Because once she realized that Dixie s your priority , she knew she did nt stand a chance .
Tad : No , it does nt have anything to do with priorities , ok ? I care about Julia . I care about what happens to her . I fully intend to protect them both . It s kind of an ambidextrous thing .
Zach : Dixie wrote a letter . She stashed it somewhere . You know , in it she says who The Dragon really is and what his name is . Now , she denied it , you backed her up , even though you knew it was a lie .
Tad : You know , she lied because you kidnapped her . You scared her half to death , so she created some mythic letter that names names because she wanted to protect herself from you .
Zach : Hmm . To be opened in the event of my death . This is signed by Dixie . You interested ?
Di : You re a fool if you think you can just walk up to a head of an organization like that , pull a gun , and blow him away .
Julia : I ve got lots of options . I m pretty good with a knife , too .
Di : He s not some punk . He s not a street thug , he s not a best - dressed - list gangster . He is surrounded by muscle and firepower . He s got eyes everywhere . Nothing happens that he does nt know about .
Julia : And it sounds like you know him on a first - name basis . I m not asking nicely , Dixie . A name ! How hard is that ?
Di : If you go after him alone , you wo nt come home . You wo nt get to keep the life you ve got now , you wo nt get your old life back .
Julia : I ll worry about the details . You worry about your own life . Tell me who he is , now !
Di : I d be sending you to your death .
Julia : Again , my life , my death . I will choose . The name !
Di : You go ahead and shoot , because I wo nt be the one to pull the trigger on you .
Kendall : Greenlee , you do nt have to be afraid .
Greenlee : This is it . This is my life . Without Ryan , it ll always be like this . Sometimes I just feel so lost . I just want to close my eyes and give in .
Kendall : I will not let you give in , Greenlee .
Greenlee : Everyone says that the pain will go away , but it s such a lie . I wake up to it in the morning , I go to sleep with it at night . It ll never go away . It s like a part of me . It s like the color of my eyes . I will miss Ryan every minute of every day for the rest of my life .
Kendall : I know .
Greenlee : What you re doing for me , helping me have his baby -- someday soon , I ll have a part of Ryan to hold at night and to wake up to in the morning . I ll have a future again because of you . And I love you for it .
Kendall : Come here .
Simone : Yo , girls , are you up here ?
Kendall : We re right here .
Simone : Oh , my gosh . Ok , you left your phone downstairs . I know because it rang . I hope it s ok I answered it .
Kendall : Just take a message . It s not a good time .
Simone : No , I think she actually wants this . It s Ryan s sister . It s Erin Lavery .
Zach : Come on , Tad . Not interested to see what she wrote in this , huh , who The Dragon is ? Gotcha .
Tad : Oh , you come up with this all by yourself ?
Zach : I was making a point . You know there s a letter , and you want it as badly as I do . Why ca nt we work together and try and figure something out ?
Tad : Not a chance .
Zach : Wow . Really must be love , because you ca nt be that stupid .
Tad : Oh , absolutely . I m a village idiot . You re a genius . Do me a favor -- why do nt you go out and play with your rapierlike wit out in the driveway , ok ?
Zach : Can I ask you something ?
Tad : Oh , God .
Zach : Why are you protecting Di Kirby ? Dixie Cooney Martin Chandler , whatever her name is . Why ? She made you believe that she was dead for three years , Tad . Three years . There you were crying over an empty grave . She was out there playing with the bad guys . Now she did some time in prison and now she s home , put all her trash in your lap .
Tad : You re overstepping your bounds .
Zach : You may want to rethink a couple of things . Let s start with Dixie . Why you protecting her , huh ? She s done nothing but lie to you ever since she came back into town .
Tad : Dixie is just as much a victim as Julia . I will protect both of them .
Zach : It s a nice thought .
Tad : Yeah , well , it s better than the alternative . Because it s perfectly obvious to me you d sell Dixie to the devil to save Julia in a New York minute .
Di : I tell you The Dragon s name , it s like I m putting a gun to your head and killing you myself . I wo nt do that , Julia . I wo nt be responsible for your death .
Julia : You do nt care about me . It s all about you .
Di : Julia , you have to believe me ! If I could help you , I would , but I do nt know --
Julia : Shut up ! You re just trying to save yourself ! You are a coward , and you deserve to die !
Julia : Damn it .
Di : I knew you would nt do it .
Julia : Oh , do nt be so self - righteous . You do nt know me .
Di : You re not like them . You ve been in the muck , and you got out of it . You re free of it . You re not evil , you re good , Julia .
Julia : If you lay it on any thicker , I swear to God I will shoot you . Now what am I going to do ?
Di : I know how you can do it , how you can get what you want , and you do nt have to go all vigilante .
Julia : I go back to the cops , let them handle it so they can stuff me back in witness protection ? I ll die first .
Di : If my plan works , you do nt have to go to the cops or die .
Julia : I just had a gun in your face , and you would nt tell me anything , and now you have a plan ?
Di : I can help you , Julia . And I will .
Garret : You girls are pulling some serious faces considering tomorrow s the big day .
Mimi : Danielle and I were just talking about you .
Garret : Well , from the looks of things , obviously not about anything good .
Mimi : I want to hear it from you , Garret .
Danielle : What s the point ? He ll just deny it .
Mimi : Dani says you ve been coming on to her . Is that true ?
Garret : Danielle , I thought we worked through this .
Danielle : Worked through ? It just keeps getting worse . You wo nt stop ! I had to tell her !
Mimi : What s been going on between you and Dani ?
Garret : I d hoped it would nt get this far . I guess -- I guess it started around when I came to rescue Dani the morning after Josh . I thought it was just gratitude at first , but then I realized Danielle had a little crush on me .
Danielle : I do not . I told you I d never be into you like that .
Mimi : Dani , please . Let Garret finish .
Garret : I had a long talk with her , told her I was flattered . I mean , Danielle s a wonderful young woman , but I told her very clearly that I loved you , and she was going to have to accept that .
Danielle : What ? He s so full of it ! You ca nt believe this !
Mimi : Ok , so why not come to me ? Why try to hide it ?
Garret : Because I knew it would upset you . And you got enough to deal with already with work and the wedding . I thought I could deal with this on my own without getting you involved .
Danielle : You did nt want my mom involved , because you wanted me . You ve been perving on me every time we re alone !
Mimi : Danielle , please , you ve had your chance to speak .
Danielle : Since day one , with the looks , the way you touch me , the innocent kisses . You play like my daddy , but you want a whole lot more !
Garret : I do nt know what to say .
Danielle : Ugh .
Garret : Danielle , I do care for you . You re like a daughter to me .
Danielle : So why did you bust all up in the bathroom , and you knew I was still in there ? You just stood there getting an eyeful , hoping for more .
Garret : It was an accident , and I apologized for that . It would ve ended there . I would ve left . I wish I had .
Mimi : Why , Garret ? Do nt look at Dani , look at me . Tell me why , please .
Garret : Before I could close the door , Danielle dropped her towel .
Danielle : What ?
Garret : She told me it was my bachelor party , and I could have anything I want .
Danielle : You liar !
Kendall : Greenlee , you do nt have to talk to her . I ca nt take this .
Greenlee : Hello ?
Erin : Is this Greenlee Lavery ?
Greenlee : Yes , this is Greenlee . Hello , are you there ?
Erin : Um , I -- I heard about my brother . Ryan s gone . It s taken me a while to deal with this . I m still not sure if I have . Maybe that s why I had to call -- to talk .
Greenlee : Do you know about Jonathan and Braden ?
Erin : Yeah .
Greenlee : I m so sorry for your loss -- all your losses .
Erin : I barely knew Ryan . I was very young when he left .
Greenlee : Ryan loved you . He used to tell me what a beautiful little girl you were , brave and smart . He was trying to find you before he --
Erin : You do nt have to do this if this is too hard for you .
Greenlee : No , I want to . I want you to know that your brother was the best . He was a good man to me , his brothers , his friends . Life without him is nt much of a life at all .
Erin : I should never have called . I m sorry .
Greenlee : No , you should have . I mean , we re family . We have so much to talk about . I d love to get together with you . Is that possible ? I mean , could you come to Pine Valley , or I could come to you ?
Erin : No , I m sorry , I ca nt . I ca nt , it s still too soon . I m still trying to deal .
Greenlee : Well , maybe we could talk again later , when you re up to it .
Erin : I have to go now . I m sorry . Take care of yourself .
Greenlee : Well , wait , wait , what s your number ?
Julia : So what s this plan of yours that s going to save us all , put this pig on a spit ?
Di : The less you know , the better .
Julia : No deal . There s no way I m going to be in the dark on this . I do nt trust you enough .
Di : Hey . Are you ok ?
Julia : Yeah , I m fine . I m just -- just tired .
Di : When s the last time you slept ?
Julia : Yesterday , a few hours . Maybe it was the day before .
Di : You need to rest . You ll be dead on your feet if you keep this up .
Julia : Huh . Yeah . I get a room at the Valley Inn or the Pine Cone Motel . I m not going back to Tad s attic , no way .
Di : Why do nt you stay here ? I mean , soft sheets , feather bed , secret tunnel . Beats Tad s attic any day .
Julia : You re not serious ?
Di : Safest place in town . Door s locked . You can trust me .
Julia : Since when ?
Di : We both want the same thing . We re both fighting for our lives . We re going to need each other to win .
Danielle : You sick liar . You re twisting everything around here to make me look bad .
Garret : I get this is hard for you . Your mom s got a new man in her life , and it s understandable that you might feel threatened .
Danielle : I do nt . This is not about my mother . This is about you , what you re doing , or trying to do . You re such a pervert !
Mimi : Dani , please , I -- I ca nt take any more .
Danielle : Mom , you ca nt believe him !
Mimi : No , really , I -- I ca nt .
Danielle : Well , you believe me , do nt you ?
Mimi : Dani , how could you ? How could you tell such horrible lies ? Garret -- he loves us . Dani , please do nt do this . Take it all back . Tell the truth .
Danielle : I wo nt take it back , Mom . I m not the liar , Garret is . You have to believe me . Please , you ca nt marry this guy .
Mimi : Dani , why are you doing this ? The night before my wedding ? I mean , I know we ve had problems , but I thought they were behind us .
Danielle : Mama , I love you . I m not trying to mess you up . I m trying to stop a huge mistake .
Mimi : This is not a mistake . Garret and I love each other very much .
Garret : That s what I ve told her .
Mimi : Maybe -- maybe it s my fault . I left you here with your dad , and then I blow back into town with a fiancé and maybe you re -- you re hurt or you re angry or maybe just a little jealous .
Danielle : No . I want you to be happy . I do .
Mimi : If you really mean that , then take back what you said . Tell me -- tell me that it was all a lie , it was nt true , and I ll forgive you . So will Garret !
Danielle : Forgive me ? This is nt happening .
Mimi : Ok . If what you re saying is true , do nt you think I would ve noticed something ? Garret has been attentive and generous , yes , but -- but never , never inappropriate .
Danielle : Not when you re around . It s when we re alone . He s too smart to come right out and do anything obvious . That way I ll have evidence and you d dump his sorry self .
Mimi : Danielle , I think you should go .
Danielle : You -- you ca nt be serious .
Mimi : Stay with your father .
Danielle : You re kicking me out ?
Mimi : Well , if you wo nt admit to lying , I have no choice !
Garret : Hold on . Let s talk this through .
Danielle : You shut up ! You re the one that should be kicked out of here !
Mimi : Dani ! Please . Go .
Garret : I m so sorry , baby .
Mimi : No , I m sorry !
Garret : I m so sorry .
Mimi : I m sorry ! What did Dani do to you ? I know it s my fault , you know ?
Garret : No , no , no , no , no . You did everything right . Do nt worry . We ll sort this out , together .
Mimi : I love you .
Kendall : Well , what did Erin say ?
Simone : Is she coming to visit ?
Greenlee : She s not up for it , not yet anyway . I wish I d gotten her number .
Kendall : Well , she called . That s something .
Simone : Yeah !
Greenlee : Maybe it s a sign . Maybe everything really will work out . We ll have the baby , and she --
Kendall : Or he .
Greenlee : Will have another Lavery to love him or her . Aunt Erin , Ryan s little sister .
Erin : Greenlee loves you so much , Ryan .
Greenlee : It s weird . When I was on the phone with Erin , it was like I could feel Ryan . I did . It s crazy , I know , but it s as if he was on the phone with us .
Tad : Do nt even think about sacrificing Dixie to The Dragon for Julia .
Zach : I was nt planning on sacrificing anybody . But I want that letter or the name of The Dragon .
Tad : Let s say you get that name and you mention it to the wrong person . There s a really good chance that Dixie will end up dead . And if that happens , I ll kill you .
Julia ( to Di ) : You re meeting him , the man who wants me dead , are nt you ?
Mimi : Are you here to take back what you said about Garret ?
Danielle : I ca nt do that , Mom .
Josh ( punching Garret ) : You re a twisted --
Jack : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa !

### Dialogue:
BURNETT : Tonight, breaking news, no warning. Two State Department officials telling CNN that officials involved in embassy security were not told the imminent threats to four American embassies and they did not issue any specific warnings. And this is bizarre and shocking, because the President has said repeatedly that multiple U.S. embassies were in danger specifically four and that that is why the United States had to kill Iran's top commander immediately.
TRUMP : I can reveal that I believe it would have been four embassies.
BURNETT : If this is true, four embassies, and it was eminent and they knew about the plans then how is it possible that the people in charge of embassy security were not aware? Kylie Atwood is OUTFRONT from the State Department breaking this development. And Kylie, what are these officials telling you?
KYLIE ATWOOD, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY REPORTER : Yes. Well, sources are telling me that U.S. officials here at the State Department who work on U.S. embassy security were amazed. They were shocked to learn of the fact that President Trump had said that there were four U.S. embassies facing an imminent threat. And one senior State Department official described that justification to me as something that blindsided them. Because the State Department officials didn't know about those specific threats that President Trump is alleging against four embassies, they did reach out to embassies in the Middle East and worldwide. And they did warn them of threats that could come due to increase escalation from Iran and Iranian proxies. And a State Department spokesperson clarified to me that there were even calls that followed up on that worldwide security warning to embassies in the region. And they asked them if they needed any additional reinforcement in terms of security. But the bottom line here is that there were not four U.S. embassies that folks here at the State Department knew about that were facing this imminent threat. And so what our reporting demonstrates is that there are some challenging here with regard to President Trump and what he's saying again today that everyone was totally consistent on the same page with regard to this intelligence, Erin.
BURNETT : All right. Kylie, thank you very much with those developments. I want to go now to Democratic Congressman Denny Heck, member of the House Intelligence Committee. And Congressman, I appreciate your time. What's your reaction to Kylie's reporting that the senior people in charge of American embassy security were not told of any imminent threats?
REP. DENNY HECK (D-WA) : Well, because there were no imminent threats, Erin. I think it's as obvious as the nose on our face and if you doubted it before, you shouldn't doubt it today after members of the administration have indicated no really this strategy was deterrence, not in fact to preempt an imminent threat. In order to have eminence, Erin, you have to have certain elements. You have to have a target, you have to have time and you have to have some approval from the upper authorities to actually execute the plan. None of those elements were present here. So there were ...
HERE REP. DENNY HECK (D-WA) : -- time and you have to have some approval from the upper authorities to actually execute the plan. None of those elements were present here. So, there were no imminent threats per se.
ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST : So, you point out some Trump administration officials now sort of indicating what you're saying and it is true, Congressman, that some of them were not able to confirm the president's claims there were plots, specific plots to attack four U.S. embassies. Here are a couple of them.
ROBERT O'BRIEN, NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER : Look, it's always difficult even when the exquisite intelligence we have to know exactly what the targets are.
MARK ESPER, SECRETARY OF DEENSE : He didn't cite a specific piece of evidence. What he said is he probably, he believed, could have been --
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE : Are you saying there wasn't one?
ESPER : I didn't see one with regard to four embassies.
MADDOW : OK. You have the secretary of defense. He didn't know -- didn't see any threat regarding four embassies. Our national security adviser did not know what targets are. From what you understand -- do you believe that General Soleimani posed an imminent threat to four American embassies or not?
HECK : I do not. I believe that General Soleimani represented a continuing threat of bad behavior in the Mideast. That he's a bad -- he was a bad guy and he was doing bad things. That's a separate question from whether or not there was an imminent threat, and whether or not the president possessed the constitutional authority or the legal authority to actually do this. Look, Erin, at the end of the day, an action like this, set aside the fact of whether or not it was legal or even illegal, at the end of this day, this ought to be about furtherance of American policy objectives. And the administration has helped us out here. They said what our objectives are in region. Number one, keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Number two, keep them from getting a intercontinental ballistic missile which could deliver a nuclear bomb, and number three, deter bad behavior in the region. So, take them one at a time. Number one, they have lifted the lid the uranium enrichment. Number two, they're continuing to make the R&D investments to develop an ICBM, and number three, Hezbollah has now announced we're targeting all U.S. bases in the region. So, strike one, strike two, strike three.
BURNETT : Secretary of Defense Esper went further, though, Congressman, with what appeared to be a new standard, because you're talking about the standard of imminent threat to have a legal strike. There as a new standard he seemed to be putting forth for launching lethal attacks against someone who wished ill will against America. Listen to him.
ESPER : My expectation was they were going the go after our embassies. The embassy is the most prominent display of American presence in a country.
BURNETT : OK, that's a statement of fact. If the expectation that people who wish Americans harm will target embassies because they are the most prominent display of American power, if that's now the standard. How many people does this add to America's kill list?
HECK : I'm sorry, I don't understand the question, Erin.
BURNETT : If we're going to say that someone wants to go after an American embassy because it's the most prominent display --
HECK : Oh, right, right.
BURNETT : -- of American power, anybody who has that as their goal is now fair to strike. How long does the kill list get?
HECK : Infinite. I mean, if the standard is we're going after all bad actors who do bad things, then we probably would be in the business of dropping a whole lot more bombs than we already are. But the fact of the matter is, there were no imminent threats, per se and there is no evidence to suggest the embassies were targeted. The absolute proof of that is as you said at top of the conversation, if the embassies were not notified this way (ph).
BURNETT : I want to get your take, if I may, Congressman, of something. I don't know if you've seen but it just crossed a few moments ago. Breaking story, it's in "The New York Times". They're reporting that Russian military hackers targeted Burisma which is the Ukrainian gas company, which Hunter board serve -- Hunter Biden served on the board of, and experts are saying the timing of this hacking was sort of as all this story was breaking about Hunter Biden, right? So, this is happening over the past few months. The suggestion is that Russia is looking for information on this story and dirt on Joe Biden. What do you make on that?
HECK : Well, if they're not looking for it, they'll make it up. Look, Erin, throughout the entire Mueller report and investigation, whenever I went home, the most frequently asked question I would get is do you think the Russians will be back in next election and, of course, my response was back. They've never left. This is standard operating procedure for Vladimir Putin's Russia to use cyber warfare weapons in other words to further advance their objectives. And this doesn't surprise me in the slightest and moreover, I wouldn't trust a thing they shared or revealed as a consequence of their illegal hacking of that company in the Ukraine.
BURNETT : All right. I appreciate your time, Congressman Heck. Thank you, tonight.
HECK : You're welcome.
BURNETT : And next, the gloves are off. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, it is now punches to the face. Sanders accusing -- accused, I'm sorry, of telling Warren that a woman can't win. So, what does this mean? Weeks before Iowa when they are about to stuck in Washington in an impeachment trial? Plus, Mike Bloomberg asking a growing question, why should Democrats be spending all their time in Iowa when President Trump is actually campaigning in swing states that Democrats have to win to win the election?

Rick : [ Laughs ] Yeah , that tends to happen .
Maya : [ Laughs ]
Nicole : Like Zende right now . I think -- I think he worries too much , you know , worries about things he does nt need to worry about .
Maya : Like what ?
Nicole : Currently , R.J. And a certain intern .
Maya : Well , I ca nt say I blame Zende for that .
Nicole : So you re on that bandwagon , too ?

Maya : Trust her , but be cautious .
Nicole : All right . I mean , you two be cautious around her if you need to be . I am just going to be a mentor and a friend .

Nicole : Nice work .
Coco : Yes .
Nicole : That was fast .
Coco : Thanks . Thanks . Let me know if you need any help scanning them .
Nicole : How did you know I was gon na scan ?
Coco : Hey , you re the one that told me to always anticipate .
Nicole : See , now that s a good sign of an intern . Already implementing my advice .
Thomas : So no regrets hiring Coco ?
R.J. : Regrets ? You kidding me ? She s fitting right in . Super sweet , super -- I mean , super intelligent .
Thomas : Right , right . Kind of cute , though , too .
R.J. : I mean , yeah , if -- if you notice that kind of thing .
Thomas : Yeah , if . Well , it looks like we ve got something in common . Forrester men under that Spectra spell .
Sally : You ca nt believe everything you read on the internet .
Saul : It was nt just some random blogger . There s even a Forrester press release about it .
Sally : No . No , I know Thomas !
Shirley : Not well enough , obviously .
Coco : Mr. Forrester does nt seem to like me very much . Is there something I did wrong ?
Nicole : Which Mr. Forrester ? You know , you can use first names . It just makes it easier .
Coco : Rick . Rick -- he barely looked at me just now . Is there something I could do differently ?
Maya : You know , it s not fair , and it s not your fault . But the fact is that you have more to prove than the other interns .
Coco : Because I m a Spectra ? That s why rick wo nt look at me when I pass him in the hall ?
Nicole : He s very protective of the family and the company , and the Spectras and the Forresters have a lot of history .
Coco : I get it . And I do nt blame him . And I do nt blame any of you for holding me to a higher standard . But I promise I can live up to it .
Thomas : Just be prepared for some reactions .
R.J. : What do you mean ?
Thomas : With you and Coco , your interest in her .
R.J. : It s not like I m broadcasting it .
Thomas : You are , whether you know it or not . My instinct tells me just do what I do , right ? I let all the negative comments go in one ear and out the other .
R.J. : Are you talking about when the family says something about you and Sally ?
Thomas : Yeah .
R.J. : Wait , does that mean the two of you are ... ?
Thomas : Oh , we re good .
R.J. : How good ?
Thomas : Listen , the woman flew all the way out to Australia to come see me for a wedding . I d say I m optimistic about the whole situation . See a lot of potential . Forrester brothers , Spectra sisters . We ve got a bright future ahead of us .
R.J. : [ Chuckles ]
Saul : Oh ! Darlita , it is just so wrong .
Darlita : Well , it s not my usual color , but --
Saul : No , not your nails . Sally . This whole situation with Thomas . Sally is about to get her heart broken .
Shirley : See ? Right there . He s not even trying to hide it . Well , except from you .
Sally : Okay . All right . You know what ? Big whoop . So he has a kid . It would nt be the first person in the world to have a child with a woman that he does nt care about .
Shirley : Not just any woman . That s Caroline Spencer . A famous designer . A gazillionaire . Sweetheart , you think you can compete ?
Sally : She lives in new York . She s not even in his life anymore .
Shirley : Honey , the mother of a man s child is always in his life . Thomas is just out here having a few flings with whatever woman catches his eye . His son is growing up in new York with his beautiful , talented mother . It wo nt be long before Thomas wants to be a part of that . Do you see why we ca nt change our plans ? We have to beat the Forresters to the runway . We ve got to make some serious money and make the Spectra name be something again . Sally , you need to get your head on straight . Be loyal to your family . We need those designs . Without them , we do nt have a chance . We will go under . Shifty will be calling you up demanding payment . What then ? You ca nt let that happen , not for Thomas Forrester , not for a man with a child in new York with his mother . You need to end that relationship today . Call him up . Tell him you want to meet him .
Sally : I do nt know if I can --
Shirley : Sally , do it . After all I ve done for you , you owe me . End that relationship with Thomas today .
Saul : Any updates ? The feed ?
Darlita : I m supposed to be feeding somebody ? What ? Like a -- like a pet ?
Saul : Watching the feed , Darlita . You said you would keep an eye out .
Darlita : Oh , right ! Coco . Uh , I completely forgot . I was painting my nails . You know how that goes .
Saul : Not really , no . So you got this ?
Darlita : Yes , I got this .
Saul : If you see anything exciting --
Darlita : Do nt worry . My peppers are gon na be glued to the screen .
Saul : Peppers ? Peepers .
Darlita : Huh ?
Saul : Never mind . I have full confidence in you , Darlita . You and -- and your -- your peppers .
Maya : Coco , I do nt want to give you the wrong impression . No one is rooting for you to fail . We want you to succeed .
Coco : I appreciate that .
Maya : That is a lovely brooch , by the way .
Coco : Oh , thank you . Do you want to try it on ?
Maya : That s so sweet of you , but no .
Coco : Not at all . I insist . Let s just see how it looks .
Maya : Uh , okay .
Coco : There .
Maya : Thank you . Oh , I love it .
Nicole : Hey , it matches your blouse .
Maya : Did you know Stephanie was known for her brooches ? All of a sudden I m feeling like a Forrester matriarch .
Nicole : Well , do nt say that to Quinn .
Maya : Hmm .
Coco : Oh , I have to head out . R.J. Needs to see me .
Maya : Oh , Coco , your brooch .
Coco : Oh , I ll just get it from you later . It looks better on you , anyway .
Maya : Thanks . [ Chuckles ]
Darlita : Coco is so lucky getting to work with all those Forrester men .
Rick : Well , I guess we re alone .
Maya : Yes .
Rick : Yeah . Where s Coco ?
Maya : How about we stop worrying about her ? About Coco , about Sally , about anything Spectra ?
Rick : Yeah , if you can teach me how to stop worrying , sure .
Maya : Oh , I have a couple ideas .
Rick : Do you ?
Maya : Yeah . Lock the door .
Darlita : [ Coughing ] [ Gasps ] No !
Darlita : Coco Spectra , what do you think you re doing ? !
Shirley : Anything new from Forresters ?
Saul : Darlita only just remembered to start watching .
Shirley : What ?
Saul : Oh , it s fine , cause she s doing it now .
Shirley : She is not the sharpest tool , but [ Sighs ] She can keep her eyes on a computer screen .
Saul : Sally s the one I m worried about .
Shirley : You do nt have to be , not after today . She s finally wising up and cutting that hunk of Forrester meat loose .
Sally : Thank you .
Thomas : Hey , gorgeous . Glad I got your text .
Sally : Yeah , thanks for meeting with me .
Thomas : Sound so formal . Is this strictly business ?
Sally : Well , bucko , we are from competing fashion houses .
Thomas : Ah , yeah . I see how it is . Come on , I m just playing around . What s going on ?
Sally : Yeah , I know . In all sorts of ways , maybe .
Thomas : Okay , what s that supposed to mean ?
Sally : Well , I , uh , learned something today .
Thomas : Yeah ?
Sally : Something that I thought maybe would have come up in conversation .
Thomas : Okay , what s going on ? Just tell me what s bothering you .
Sally : Bothered ? Really ? Should I -- should I be bothered finding out that you have a kid ? I mean , right , it s not -- it s not that big of a deal , right ? People have kids . I just thought , I do nt know , maybe you would have ... mentioned it . Caroline Spencer , huh ?
Thomas : Yeah . Caroline Spencer . Yeah . I should have said something . I - I do nt know why I did nt . I guess I was just waiting for the right moment . It s not exactly something that I m comfortable talking about . But yeah , with -- with you , I - I just want --
Sally : Save -- save your breath . Really ? With you ? Come on . Really ? Do nt kid yourself . There s nothing serious going on between us . We both know that Caroline is the type of woman that you re supposed to end up with .
Thomas : What are you saying ?
Sally : I m saying that whatever this is between us ... it has to end .
Darlita : Coco . Coco , you ca nt ! How can you not ? I mean , look at him . Darlita , snap out of it ! Help her . Help her .
Coco : Hello ?
Darlita : You ve got to stop .
Coco : What ?
Darlita : Yes . He s gorgeous . I get it . But it s not worth it .
Coco : Darlita ? Wait , did you dial the wrong number ? This is Coco .
Darlita : How are you even talking to me right now ?
Coco : You re the one that called me . What s going on ?
Darlita : I have no idea .
Coco : Okay , well , I m kind of in the middle of something , and I ca nt really talk right now , so I m just gon na call you back later .
Darlita : No , wait , but --
Darlita : How are you -- wow ! That girl can multitask .
R.J. : You okay ?
Coco : Yeah , I guess . I just had the strangest conversation with Darlita .
R.J. : Who ?
Coco : Oh , uh , the receptionist at Spectra .
R.J. : Oh . You re calling Spectra on the clock at Forrester . Now , I m gon na have to put a stop to that .
Coco : Yeah ?
R.J. : Yeah .
Coco : How ?
R.J. : I do nt know .
Shirley : Beautiful .
Saul : The kind of designs that will keep this battleship afloat .
Shirley : More than afloat , Saul . [ Sighs ] This will have us cruising at 40 knots .
Saul : Well , assuming that Sally stays loyal and does nt say anything to sir abs - a - lot .
Shirley : She better be saying something to him -- about ending their relationship . Nothing about the designs .
Saul : Do you really think that she will ?
Shirley : It s not gon na be easy , but she has to end things with Thomas .
Thomas : Look , I - I was nt purposely hiding him from you . You would have met him by now if -- if he lived in L.A. and yeah , I should have -- I should have told you about him , and I should have told you about Caroline , and I will if you let me . But I do nt want to hear about you trying to end things when we re just getting started .
Sally : Yes , we are just getting started . Okay , it makes this whole thing a whole lot easier . We can just walk away with no hard feelings .
Thomas : Where is all this coming from ?
Sally : It s just something that I have to do .
Thomas : Something that you have to do ? Wh - why ? Because of my son ? Douglas is an amazing baby . You will love him . I want you to be a part of his life . I want you to be a part of my life . You came into my world , and you turned it upside down . You make me laugh . I look forward to what you re gon na do , to what you re gon na say , to what -- Sally , to what we are going to do .
Sally : [ Sighs ]
Thomas : And suddenly you want to -- you want to walk away from that . No . No , I care about you too much . I m not gon na let you walk away .
Sally : [ Sighs ]
Thomas : What -- no , no , Sally , Sally . Look at me . I love you .
Sally : [ Sighs ]

Arianna : So do you think this is gon na get me off the hook ?
Roman : Ca nt talk about that now , okay ?
Arianna : Okay . Okay .
Troy : Oh , my God . You re a narc . You re a damn narc ! She s a narc . Do you hear me ? She s a narc . A narc !
Bo : Oh . Oh .
Hope : Oh , no .
Bo : I m sorry . It s my fault . It ll ...
Maggie : Oh , I m sorry , Linda . I - I meant to come in , but something -- it came up . And -- and I know the restaurant is nt very busy early in the week . Yes , yeah , every -- everything is fine . Mm . And I ll call you later . Thanks . [ Crying ]
Maggie : Oh .
Carly : Hi .
Maggie : Carly .
Carly : I m so sorry I did nt call . If this is nt a good time , I - I ...
Maggie : No , it s all right . Come on in .
Carly : You re here by yourself ?
Maggie : At the moment . Why do you ask ?
Carly : Well , the -- the young ladies who live here are nt exactly fans of mine . And Melanie and I have had some run - ins recently , so ...
Maggie : Run - ins ? Why ? I - I mean , are you having a problem with her ?
Vivian : Keep digging , Gus . I need to know if Melanie Layton is Carly Manning s daughter right away .
Gus : I ll call as soon as I hear anything .
Vivian : Good . I ll see what I can find out on my own . [ Gasps ] Oh . Lovebirds are at it again .
Philip : [ Sighs ] Melanie and I were just leaving .
Vivian : No , no , no . Do nt leave . Oh , I m still fretting about what happened earlier . Did you tell Philip ?
Melanie : How Carly spilled coffee on my wedding dress ? Yeah , I told him the story .
Vivian : Oh , it s a shame that woman had to show up . We were having the loveliest afternoon .
Melanie : I was telling Philip how much I was enjoying your company .
Vivian : Oh , oh , me too , darling . I just think you re so adorable . Well , while we re waiting for that wedding dress to show up , maybe we could hammer out the rest of your wedding plans .
Philip : Melanie , we really should get going if--
Vivian : For instance , the guest list . How many of your people are coming ?
Melanie : My people ?
Vivian : Yes , you know , your family , your parents . Sort of -- I m sure you come from very interesting stock . I want to hear all about it . Hmm ?
Stefano : Ungrateful swine . [ Groans ] Egotistical Judas .
Kate : Hey , what s going on ? What are you yelling about ?
Stefano : I knew it . I knew it . I knew it . I knew it . I knew it ! I knew that Elvis was up to something . Selling off his DiMera stocks at a loss so that he could extricate himself from this family and forge a new identity for himself . What a joke !
Kate : So you do nt think that s the reason .
Stefano : Well , of course it was not the reason . Katherine , he lied to me , right to my face .
Kate : And you re surprised by that ?
Stefano : Why ? You dont -- I mean , what-- you really are cynical .
Kate : And so should you be ... when it comes to EJ .
Stefano : Oh , wonderful . Make me feel worse .
Kate : Darling , I m just trying to make you see the truth . You do nt know the real EJ . I do nt think anyone does anymore .
Troy : You two - faced--
Roman : That s it !
Troy : You were undercover the whole time . Do you hear what I m saying , man ? Do you hear me ? She s a narc ! She s a narc .
Stefano : That s nonsense . Of course I know my own son .
Kate : Stefano , he s changed . He s --
Stefano : Look , I do nt want to hear this , all right ? He is my flesh and blood .
Kate : Okay , fine . Then -- then what s happened ? What s going on ?
Stefano : [ Sighs ] Elvis received a ransom note from Sydney s kidnapper .
Kate : What ?
Stefano : And that s why he was liquidating his assets , so he could come up with the money to pay off that rat bastard .
Kate : Okay . So did -- what -- what happened ? Did they -- did they make the exchange ? Did they get Sydney back ?
Stefano : No , no . My sources tell me that the , uh , plan went awry . Then the FBI got involved , so the kidnapper did not show . So our sweet little Sydney is still missing .
Kate : I m sorry .
Stefano : If only Elvis had told me what was going on , I could ve helped .
Kate : [ Sighs ]
Stefano : And Sydney would be sitting here right now with us .
Kate : No , she would nt , because EJ has said it over and over again -- he will not let his daughter be part of your life .
Stefano : I do nt give a damn how many times he says it until he s blue in the face , all right ? Cause it does nt mean a damn thing .
Kate : You re sure of that ?
Stefano : Katherine , in my heart , all right , I know that if Sydney is returned safe and sound , then it is very possible that Elvis and I can make amends .
Kate : Oh , my God , Stefano .
Stefano : All right , do nt patronize me .
Kate : I m trying to be supportive .
Stefano : Oh , right . Ha ha . By depressing me ?
Kate : Would you prefer that I allow you to delude yourself ?
Stefano : I do nt know what I want you to do .
Kate : I am not trying to depress you . I m trying to prepare you . EJ is not the type to forgive and forget . You are going to have to learn to live with the consequences of your actions , just as I must and just as EJ must .
Troy : Let go of me ! Let go of me ! That lying whore s a narc ! What , am I blowing your cover ? Good ! You are dead , you hear me ? Dead !
Brady : You want to explain to me what just happened there ?
EJ : I do nt know .
Brady : You do nt know ? Troy ran straight to you with his crazy accusations . Why ? Why was he so intent on telling you ?
Bo : I m sorry .
Hope : It s all right .
Bo : No , I--
Hope : No , it s all right . I ll ... I ll just buy another one . It s for Ciara . I , um -- shed heard so much about our boat that I ... never mind . Does nt matter . You know what ? I , um , was just about to leave , but I ve decided that I m not going to , because I need some answers . How could you do it ? How could you lie to me ?
Melanie : My family ?
Vivian : Uh , sorry , I - I did nt mean to pry .
Philip : Mel , we really should get going if we re gon na make that movie .
Melanie : We ll go to the next show .
Philip : No , I want to go to this one -- this one .
Melanie : Okay , hold on one second . Why are you being a butthead ?
Philip : Why am I being a butthead ? Why am I being a butthead ? I ll tell you why I m being a butthead . You know how I feel about this woman .
Melanie : Yeah , okay , she s eccentric , and she does some weird things . But let s give her a chance . Let s give her the benefit of the doubt for my sake , please .
Philip : Okay , okay . Sure .
Melanie : I love you .
Philip : I love you too .
Melanie : Okay , um , my family ... I was kind of hoping that my brother would fly back from London , but he s in medical school , so his schedule is--
Vivian : Oh , very busy . Well , that s a shame . But then , of course , there are always your parents , right ?
Melanie : My dad died over a year ago .
Vivian : Oh , that s tragic . Your mother must be devastated .
Melanie : My mom s dead too .
Vivian : Oops . Well , what -- what happened to her ?
Philip : Okay , that s it . Game over .
Vivian : Ga -- game over ? What ? Over what ?
Philip : You want to help with the wedding , that s fine . But the questions got to stop . Melanie s past is none of your business .
Vivian : [ Scoffs ]
Carly : Well , you know , Melanie and I got off on the wrong foot .
Maggie : Yeah . Um , yeah , when -- when you were gon na move in here . But I did nt know the two of you were still having problems .
Carly : Well , getting into it with Hope did nt help ... which is why I m here . I wanted to apologize . I hate that I caused a scene , especially given the circumstances .
Maggie : Do nt worry about it .
Carly : No , I worry , because you just lost your husband , and it was beyond disrespectful , and I m ashamed that it happened at all--
Maggie : You know what ? Thank -- I need to get some rest . Thank you for coming by .
Carly : Yes , of course . I m sorry . And I - I - I -- my heart goes out to you . And if you ever need to talk about anything ...
Mia : She does nt ... not to you , anyway . So just go ... now .
EJ : I m a little confused by your question , Brady .
Brady : I thought it was pretty direct . I ll make it even more so . Why did Troy look right at you like he knew you ?
EJ : Well , he did nt just look at me . He looked at you . He looked at everybody . I mean , he was lying , was nt he , Arianna ?
Arianna : Of course . Thank you for helping . I do nt know why Troy went off like that .
Roman : Well , just trying to stir up trouble . Telling everybody he can find out there about his revelation .
Arianna : Now everyone thinks that I m a narc ?
Roman : Do nt worry about it . Nobody s listening , okay ?
Arianna : Okay .
Roman : EJ , how about we , uh , get your statement ? No reason for you to hang around here all night .
EJ : Sure . I m ready .
Roman : Good .
Officer : Commander , we need your help down in holding .
Roman : I ll be right there . Uh , why do nt you wait in the , uh , interrogation room ?
EJ : Will do .
Arianna : Um , just -- I ca nt thank you enough . I mean , if -- if you had nt shown up tonight ...
Brady : Yeah , yeah , you know what ? Why -- why did you show up ?
EJ : Unbelievable . I save your girlfriend s life , and you act like I commit some kind of crime .
Brady : Oh , EJ , just answer the simple question .
EJ : Okay . I thought she d want to be there for Rafe .
Arianna : What happened ?
EJ : Samantha and I -- we , uh-- we received a ransom note from the kidnappers .
Brady : What ?
EJ : Unfortunately , the drop - off did nt quite go as planned , so we have no idea where Sydney is , and everyone s taking it pretty hard , including Rafe . He s , uh -- well , he s blaming himself .
Arianna : Oh , my God . I m sorry .
EJ : You should give him a call , okay ? Have any more questions , Brady ? Good .
Arianna : Wait , look , um , I have no idea why Troy ...
EJ : It s -- hey , it s fine . We all have our secrets , do nt we ?
Anna : Well , Sydney , I hope you like your humble abode . From what your daddy says , we re gon na be stuck here for a while . [ Chuckles ] Mm . Oh , dear , you re burning up .
Anna : I know . I know , I know . I know .
Stefano : Is that what you did , Katarina , huh ? When your sons turned their backs on you , you just gave up hope ?
Kate : Okay , this is different .
Stefano : How ? How ? Because your sons are different than mine ?
Kate : No .
Stefano : Why ? Softer , gentler , what ?
Kate : No . That s not what I said .
Stefano : Look , let me remind you of something , will you , please ? Both Philip and Lucas swore that they would never forgive you for what happened to Chloe . Hmm ? Now all of a sudden -- I do nt know why -- after a few months-- but Philip invites you to his wedding .
Kate : Okay , I admit I ve made inroads with Philip and Lucas . But ...
Stefano : What ? Say it .
Kate : Well , I believe that my sons are of a more forgiving nature than EJ .
Stefano : Ah . Which is a euphemistic way of saying that my son is pig .
Kate : Oh , Stefano , please . Come on .
Stefano : Look , I ll admit one thing ... Elvis did not show the proper respect when he found out ... the whole thing about Nicole , okay ? But ... I know that we have a special bond between us , hmm ? And it will never be broken . Understand ?
Roman : Thanks for your cooperation , EJ .
EJ : You re welcome , anytime . Hello ?
Anna : EJ , I--
EJ : Listen , I got to call you back , okay ?
Roman : So much for our undercover operation .
Arianna : So what now ?
Roman : Well , whether anybody believed him or not , people will be suspicious . Operation s over .
Brady : What does that mean for her ?
Arianna : I did nt complete my assignment . Troy is not the head of the cartel . He s still out there , which means I go back to prison . Is nt that right ?
Vivian : Oh , I hope I m not being insensitive .
Melanie : It s okay .
Philip : No , it s not . Ca -- Cant you see you re making Melanie uncomfortable ?
Vivian : I m sorry , darling . I did nt mean to dredge up painful memories . I just wanted to know more about you .
Melanie : I understand .
Vivian : I hope I m not presuming , but I d like to suggest that it would be better if you talked about your mother s death .
Philip : You are presuming , Vivian .
Vivian : Philip , it is not healthy to keep painful memories inside .
Victor : What s going on ?
Philip : Oh , Katie Couric over here is interrogating my fiancée .
Vivian : I am not interrogating anyone . I was simply trying to draw the girl out , that s all .
Victor : Anybody want a drink ?
Vivian : [ Sighs ]
Melanie : Uh , you know what ? I just remembered Mia s at study group , and I do nt want Maggie to be alone for too long .
Philip : Well , I m your ride , so I ll drive you .
Vivian : I m sorry . I hope I did nt frighten you away .
Melanie : It s okay . I understand . And thank you for helping me with the wedding . I really -- I appreciate everything .
Philip : Let s go .
Melanie : Okay .
Victor : So you re doing your drawing - out thing , are you ?
Vivian : Well , it s -- it s like pulling teeth . Every time I mention her family , she clams up .
Victor : Well , maybe it s because her father used to pimp out his own daughter whenever money was scarce and ended up with a knife in his back .
Vivian : A knife in his back ?
Victor : Yes , he was stabbed to death .
Vivian : He met the same fate as my darling Lawrence .
Victor : And that s pertinent how ?
Vivian : It s highly pertinent , Victor . I m beginning to think that Carly Manning and Melanie Layton have quite a connection .
Maggie : Mia , please .
Mia : She should nt be here .
Carly : I only came to apologize .
Mia : Yeah , well , it s a little late for that . You ve caused enough problems .
Maggie : Mia , stop it ! Now , look , I appreciate your concern , but this is my house . And you wo nt throw anyone out of it , understand ?
Mia : Yeah . Yeah , I m -- I m sorry .
Maggie : So what are you doing back here so soon ? I thought you had a study group ?
Mia : I do , but I left my science book .
Maggie : Here . Get going .
Mia : But--
Maggie : Carly is leaving , and I m going to go rest .
Mia : Okay . I ll be back later .
Maggie : Okay .
Mia : And you better not be here .
Maggie : I m sorry she was rude to you .
Carly : It s okay . I m getting used to it .
Maggie : Well , I ll talk to her later . But I really do need to go and rest .
Carly : Okay .
Maggie : [ Crying ] Oh .
Victor : Carly and Melanie . I did nt even know she knew the girl .
Vivian : Well , I think they ve talked at times , but it s -- it was always contentious . That notwithstanding , Carly s demeanor around Melanie is almost sort of like a ... a lioness protecting her cub . I would nt be surprised if Melanie was Carly s daughter . Well , is nt that a fascinating possibility ?
Victor : It s not remotely fascinating . In fact , it s very tiresome and a colossal waste of my time .
Vivian : Well , I thought you might find it quite interesting .
Victor : Quite interesting ? First you think that Mia McCormick is her daughter . Then all of a sudden , you do nt think her daughter s in Salem at all . Now it s Melanie . Who s next , Lexie Carver ?
Vivian : Well , these things take time .
Victor : Vivian , I know you ve got your black little heart set on torturing Carly . But I am getting sick to death of all the speculation and the procrastination . I want that witch gone now !
Vivian : [ Sighs ] Look , it will be done , I promise you , soon .
Victor : No . Soon is not good enough . I m going to be doing this on my own , so I wo nt need you around here anymore , will I ?
EJ : Harold ? Anyone ? [ Sighs ] Hey , what s going on ?
Anna : Sydney s fever-- it s worse . Did you pick up her medicine ?
EJ : Uh , no , not yet . But , uh , I ll pick some up . I ll be over later , okay ?
Anna : Hey , is everything okay with you ? You sounded very stressed before .
EJ : Nothing , I just received some unexpected news . Nothing serious , okay ? Um , give Sydney a kiss for me , will you ? I ll be over soon . Bye .
Bo : I m sorry I did nt tell you about Carly s intentions .
Hope : That s not the lie I m talking about . I can buy that Carly never stopped loving you , was hell - bent on winning you back ... which she did . But this little plan of hers to come back to Salem and seduce you was not the secret you two were so desperate to keep . That I know . It was something more dire . Am I right ?
Bo : I ve already told you everything that I can .
Hope : I see . Okay . So , um , this secret , um , is why our marriage ended , and you still do nt have the decency to tell me what it is ?
Bo : It s not .
Hope : It s not what ?
Bo : The secret did nt end our marriage . You did .
Carly : Mia . Glad I ran into you .
Mia : Why ? We have nothing more to say .
Carly : Actually , we do .
Vivian : You wo nt need me around ? That s a cruel thing to say .
Victor : Oh , here come the phony tears .
Vivian : I thought we were connecting .
Victor : Well , you thought wrong . I want results , damn it !
Vivian : If I could just interrogate Mia and Melanie without being interrupted , I could-- I ve got it .
Victor : Now what are you doing ?
Vivian : I know how to get the truth out of those two , and they wo nt even see it coming .
Roman : No news on your status yet . I ll let you know as soon as I hear anything .
Arianna : Thank you .
Brady : Hey . Try not to worry , okay ? It ll be all right .
Arianna : Well , that s impossible ... because even if I do get released , I still have a very huge problem .
Brady : What problem ?
Arianna : Troy s boss is gon na know that I was working for the police . It s only a matter of time before he comes after me .
EJ : Yes ?
Stefano : [ Sighs ] [ Coughs ] Listen ... why do nt you let me help you , hmm ? I heard about the ransom . My men would find Sydney much faster . She d be home by now . Look , I m sorry if I hurt you , but I did what I thought was best .
EJ : Wait . I m sorry too .
Stefano : You re , uh ... sorry ?
EJ : Yes . I m sorry . I m sorry that you and I are estranged . I m sorry you found out about Nicole s secret . I m sorry you decided to betray my trust by not telling me . I m sorry that I may never see my precious little girl again in large part to your machinations . And I am disgusted that you can stand here and profess your undying love and devotion to me . You have ruined my life . You ve spoiled my evening .
Hope : Okay , so we re back to that again , blaming me . Must be easy for you .
Bo : I never meant to hurt you .
Hope : [ Chuckles ] Tired cliché , Brady .
Bo : No , I mean it .
Hope : Mean it ? How could you possibly mean it when you continue to hurt me ? When it just goes on ... ? Carly never stopped loving you . I get that . I get it . But years went by ... years , Brady . You two led two completely different lives . So why now ? You see , there is another reason she came back to Salem , is nt there ? If you re being sincere-- are sincere that you never meant to hurt me , then you would tell me . Okay , I m , um -- I m going to go buy Ciara another sailboat . If only everything was so easily replaceable . But then again ... I was , was nt I ? Like that .
Carly : You know , this is where we first met . Um , you were out here alone and crying .
Mia : What s your point ?
Carly : My -- my point is , is that I remember reaching out to you , and you were receptive . What changed ?
Mia : I guess it was you wanting to move into Maggie s .
Carly : I see . So I - I pushed too hard for something that I probably should nt have . I wanted to make a connection . But it s -- it s not gon na happen .
Mia : What are you talking about ?
Carly : I am so sorry that I bothered you . It wo nt happen again , Mia . I wo nt bother you anymore ... or Melanie .
Melanie : Bye , Philip . Thanks for the ride . Call you in a little bit . Maggie , what were you doing in the dark ?
Maggie : Oh , um , I just walked in . I - I was looking , uh -- I thought I left my book down here .
Melanie : Are nt you supposed to be at work right now ?
Maggie : Well , I have them so well trained , they -- they did nt really need me . Uh , and I think I m gon na call it a night .
Melanie : How about I make you some of that tea that helps you fall asleep ? You go upstairs , and I ll bring it to you .
Maggie : That would be lovely . You really do nt have to take care of me , sweetie .
Melanie : Of course I do . Of course I do . You re the closest thing I ll ever have to a mommy .
Maggie : Okay .
Kate : Hey . I m glad I ran into you .
Philip : What s up ?
Kate : Well , um , I want to do something nice for Melanie . But I do nt want to overstep our newfound truce . So I thought I would ask your permission .
Philip : What did you have in mind ?
Kate : I do nt know . I thought maybe the two of us could go shopping for a wedding dress .
Philip : Oh , too late . Vivian already found her a dress .
Kate : What ?
Philip : You ca nt be that surprised .
Kate : No . No , actually , I m not surprised that Vivian would want to do that . I m surprised that you would allow it .
Philip : Well , there s not much I could do about it . Melanie could nt stand Vivian at first , but somewhere along the way , that changed .
Kate : Well , why did you allow that to change ? Vivian is a dangerous , destructive woman . And if you allow her in Melanie s life , you re even more stupid than I thought you were .
Philip : [ Scoffs ]
Melanie : Coming .
Vivian : Surprise .
Melanie : Miss Alamain .
Vivian : Oh , call me Viv . As a matter of fact , call me Mama . May I come in ?
Stefano : You smug son of a--
EJ : Be very careful what you say about my mother .
Stefano : Go ... to ... hell .
EJ : Hello ?
Troy : Hey , it s -- it s me , Troy .
EJ : Why are you calling me ?
Troy : I know I messed up . But I - I just want you to know , no matter what happens , I wo nt give you up , okay ? I wo nt tell anyone who you are .
EJ : Good . You ll be safe as long as you are loyal .
Brady : Hey , listen , no matter what , I will always protect you .
Arianna : You ca nt always be there .
Brady : Yeah . Yeah , I can .
Arianna : What about tonight ? You did nt protect me tonight , did you ?
Carly : Congratulate me . In one evening , I think I offended both Maggie and ... hey . What happened ?
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Philip : Even more stupid than you thought , huh ?
Kate : Oh , come on . Gee , you know , do nt take it the wrong way . I m just telling you that I am concerned that you re letting her into Melanie s life , that you re letting her into your life . I m more than worried . I m hurt .
Philip : [ Scoffs ]
Kate : I m hurt . You know what she did to me . You know what she s done to Carly Manning .
Philip : Yeah . I also know what you ve done to various people .
Kate : Oh , I see , we re back to punishing me .
Philip : Well , you know , I m just saying , if I m supposed to be forgiving of you , why not Vivian ?
Kate : Because she s not your mother . She s nothing to you . And yet you let her pick out your fiancée s wedding dress .
Philip : Hmm . Yeah . But at least there s no brownies involved , no poison apples .
Kate : Oh , that s cute , Philip .
Philip : Mother , were nt you all buddy - buddy with your future daughter - in - law , whom you then tried to kill ?
Kate : Gee , do I have to remind you there s no proof of that ?
Philip : Right , because your new charming husband got rid of the proof . But you know and I know that if history has anything to say about it , Melanie is a lot safer with Vivian than with you .
Vivian : When you told me about poor , grieving Maggie , I kicked myself for not offering condolences . Is she in ?
Melanie : She s upstairs in bed .
Vivian : At this hour ? Poor thing . Well , uh , where s adorable little Mia ?
Melanie : Mia is out right now .
Vivian : Uh - huh . Well , maybe you and I could just go back and talk about our previous conversation .
Melanie : Okay , uh , I just want to bring that tea up to Maggie really fast .
Vivian : Of course you do . Well , hurry back . Oh , well . If Melanie s a dead end , maybe that blonde Barbie doll will come back , and I can grill her .
Vivian : Ooh . Oh . Gus . Please tell me you have news .
Gus : I do , Madam , excellent news .
Vivian : [ Sighs ]
Stefano : Where the hell did I put those papers ? [ Growls ]
Arianna : Hey , um , you know what ? I m so sorry . You know , I - I -- it did nt come out--
Brady : It -- it -- it s okay . I understand . It s -- you re right . It s impossible for me to always be by your side .
Roman : Ari .
Arianna : Yes .
Roman : I am so sorry . But I ve been ordered to take you back to prison today .
Hope : [ Sniffles ]
Bo : Let s not talk tonight .
Carly : Okay . Guess we both have had a rough day .
Bo : Yeah .
Carly : But , you know , whatever it is ... we ll get through it together .
Vivian : It s all come together ? How ? Be specific .
Gus : Our experts were able to make more of the damaged medical report .
Vivian : Spit it out .
Gus : They got a date of birth . Melanie Layton is a match .
Vivian : She s Carly s daughter ? Melanie is--
Melanie : Melanie is what ? What s wrong ? Who were you talking to about me ?
Stefano : Well ... this ... this is very interesting . Why do you ... have a medicine bottle for an infant ? Hmm ?
Carly : No .
Vivian : Payback s a bitch .
Carly : [ Cries ]
Sami : I trust you with my life . I trust you with my kids lives .
Stefano : This is about Sydney , is nt it ?

### Dialogue:
Margo : Hi .
Jessica : Hi .
Margo : I was on my way home . I saw Ben s car was gone . Mind if you have company ?
Jessica : Come in , yeah .
Margo : So , Ben s on call ?
Jessica : He had to go out . How was Jack s memorial service ? I m so sorry I could nt be there .
Margo : It was sad . I mean , we all told each other that we were celebrating his life . For a while there , in the pew , it did feel like that , but , no -- Ben is at work now ?
Jessica : A neurosurgeon s work is never done .
Margo : Yes , but you just lost the baby --
Jessica : You know , can we not talk about the miscarriage ?
Margo : I m sorry .
Jessica : Can I get you some wine or something like that ?
Margo : Yeah , please do . No , Jessica , no . Ben s not at work , is he ?
Jessica : He left me . He found out about Doc and -- the baby was nt his .
Margo : Oh , Jessica --
Jessica : You know , Margo , I just need you to go ahead and say what you re thinking .
Margo : What ?
Jessica : That it was coming to me , that Ben is better off without me , that I deserved to have my marriage fall apart much more than you did .
Margo : I would never , never say something like that to you , especially after everything you just lost .
Jessica : You know , I do nt need your pity . And I do nt need to wait around for the other shoe to drop , okay ? So , if you re going to walk out on me , too , then just please do it now , okay ? Just say what you have to say and go .
Doc : Come on , what are you going to do ? Just run away ? Are you going to fight or what ? Huh ? Come on , then . Come on . Okay , fine . Come on , let s go .
Sparring partner : I ve had enough .
Doc : Come on . You have nt had enough . Come on , let s go .
Sparring partner : I m not looking to end up with a concussion .
Doc : What d you even come down here for ?
Sparring partner : Look , you got stuff to work out ? Try a punching bag .
Doc : Oh , hell . Go on home , man .
Ben : Stick around , Reese .
Doc : What for ?
Ben : Round two . With me .
Jordan : So , how are we going to do this ? How are we going to pack up our son s things -- and put them in a box ?
Rosanna : We do nt . We -- we do nt . We get out of here . We pack up some things for ourselves and just get out of here for a couple of days .
Jordan : And head to the Lakeview ?
Rosanna : Yeah . This is not supposed to be here . This is supposed to be in his room .
Jennifer : Jordan ? Oh , I m sorry . Should I come back ?
Rosanna : No , it s okay . It s all right . Come on in .
Jordan : Hi .
Jennifer : Hi . Well , they booked my mother down at the station . They ve got her in a holding cell .
Jordan : Good .
Jennifer : I just -- I thought you should know .
Rosanna : No . No , it s okay . I want to hear all about it . Cause , frankly , I want to make sure that your mother stays behind bars for the rest of her life .
Hal : A lawyer on the phone for you . Keep it short .
Barbara : A little privacy , please ?
Hal : I ll send a uniform down for the phone in 15 minutes . If your lawyer ca nt talk faster than that , tell him he can come down here and visit you himself .
Barbara : First of all , thank you very much . I know its way past business hours , but I ve always said that B.R.O. has the hardest - working legal team in America . So let s just show them how it s done , all right ? So , firstly , I need bail set . I need it posted . I m not going to spend the night in this holding tank . And I do nt even know who I m talking to . Is this George ?
James : James . James Stenbeck .
Barbara : No .
James : You do nt sound very happy to hear my voice .
Barbara : I ve been arrested !
James : Sorry about that .
Barbara : You ve got to help me get out of this .
James : Barbara , I d prefer to help you help me .
Carly : I thought everyone had left .
Craig : Well , they re outside , giving you space .
Carly : And what are you doing ?
Craig : Waiting for Lucy . She s outside with the stragglers . She s waiting to say good - bye .
Carly : Would you tell them all to go ?
Craig : Yeah , okay . Okay . Then Lucy and I can give you a ride home .
Carly : Well , I have my car . Just go .
Craig : No , I do nt want to leave you alone .
Carly : What is it with people ?
Craig : What ?
Carly : I m the grieving widow . You re supposed to be taking care of me . You re supposed to be doing what I want .
Craig : Is that from a handbook ?
Carly : How did I end up with so many commitments and obligations ? Memorial services I simply must attend , hands I simply must shake , the phone calls --
Craig : Turn on the machine .
Carly : I did . And I ended up with 100 different versions of , we ll miss Jack so much . Back - to - back , digitized .
Craig : What do you want ?
Carly : To be alone .
Craig : Okay .
Craig : Just pretend I m not here .
Carly : Sometimes you really tick me off .
Craig : I know . It s a gift .
Lucy : I do nt know what this is .
Dusty : Look at the name and the amount there .
Lucy : $ 2 million .
Dusty : That s a wire transfer from your dad to an offshore account .
Lucy : And you re trying to tell me the name on that account was Wade Larsen ?
Dusty : Yeah . The kidnapper .
Lucy : Well , my father must have been paying $ 2 million in ransom to get me back .
Dusty : Look at the date . You see this ? By this point , you were home . You were safe and sound . This is payoff , not ransom . You understand ?
Lucy : That s impossible .
Dusty : How can you say it s impossible ? You think I made this up ? You think I forged this ?
Lucy : You know , you keep trying to do this , it s only going to make me hate you . Stop trying to turn me against my father !
Dusty : Hey , hey , hey . Look at this . Look at this . Look at the paper . Your stepfather did not set up the kidnapping , and the bad guys did nt just draw your name from a hat . They were paid by your father -- to grab you .
Jordan : Jennifer is nt the one who helped James escape . And as soon as she found out what her mother had done , she went straight to the police .
Rosanna : I understand that .
Jordan : So it s not fair to put her on the spot , is it ?
Rosanna : The police do nt have a case against Barbara without Jennifer s testimony . So if she s going to back down , I would just like to know now .
Jennifer : I wo nt retract my statement .
Rosanna : Even if you have to testify against her in court ?
Jordan : Rosanna , stop .
Rosanna : Look , I just want to be clear where we all stand . I do nt want any more surprises . Not from James , not from Barbara and not from you .
Jennifer : Rosanna , I loved Cabot , too .
Rosanna : Well , I m counting on that .
Jennifer : I ve left Paul messages about what s happening with Mom .
Jordan : Have you heard anything from him ? Is he still looking for James ?
Rosanna : That s not going to do any good .
Jennifer : Listen , Rosanna , I know that you re sorry that you got involved with Paul --
Rosanna : Sorry ? I wish I d never laid eyes on him .
Jennifer : You ca nt mean that .
Rosanna : Your brother claimed to be an expert on all things relating to his father . He told us that if we did what he said , we would all be happy . Instead , my child is dead .
Jennifer : Rosanna , no one could have anticipated that . Paul did nt know that James was going to murder his own grandson ! I m sorry . I m sorry .
Jordan : No , it s true . Might as well call it what it was . Our son was murdered .
Rosanna : I apologize , Jennifer .
Jennifer : That s not necessary .
Rosanna : No , it is . I m angry , and I m upset , and I m taking it out on you because other people are nt here .
Jennifer : It s okay .
Jordan : Have you talked to Barbara since she was arrested ?
Jennifer : Yeah . She wanted me to get her a lawyer . Can you believe that ? She s amazing .
Rosanna : What do you mean ?
Jennifer : Well , just the way she sees things . I mean , it s so twisted , you think it s some hideous joke , but it s not . She s serious . My mother honestly believes that , in all of this , she is the true victim .
Barbara : I would rather die than come to your aid . It s because you forced me to help you that I m in this jail cell right now . So what are you going to do to get me out of here ?
James : Well , that s problematic , Barbara . I m thousands of miles away from Oakdale .
Barbara : I helped you because you threatened Will . And I thought for sure that you d make good on that threat . I never imagined in a million years that you would hurt your own grandchild .
James : I have one question for you .
Barbara : What ?
James : Have you heard from Paul ?
Barbara : No . But Jennifer told me he s out of town .
James : Then Jennifer s probably told Paul about your arrest ?
Barbara : I really do nt know .
James : And if Paul has nt returned to Oakdale , that means he s on his quest to find me . Well , I will not be found . It s as simple as that , Barbara . Lovely chatting with you . Make the most out of prison .
Barbara : James , please , I m begging you .
James : Bye - bye , darling .
Barbara : James ? James ?
Tom : Bad news ?
Barbara : What do you want ?
Tom : I have some information that I think you might be interested in .
Barbara : Really ? And what s that ?
Tom : Well , I ve just figured out approximately how long you re going to be behind bars .
Carly : You know , you can be a really good guy when you want to be .
Craig : Are you talking to me ?
Carly : Who did you think ?
Craig : Well , I do nt know . God ? Jack ? Inspiring goodness is more their thing .
Carly : True . But you have your moments .
Craig : True , true . Like staying behind after you asked me to leave ?
Carly : No , that was just pushy . I m talking about the things you said about Jack today . And I have to stop tearing up every time I say his name .
Craig : Jackd hate that .
Carly : Yes , he would . I keep trying to find something right in all of this .
Craig : You still have Parker -- and Sage .
Carly : Oh , I was nt even thinking . You must be reeling about what happened to Cabot .
Craig : Yeah .
Carly : Did you talk to Rosanna ?
Craig : Oh , sure , yeah . At first , she wanted me to come back home with her , but then she realized that her husband , her boyfriend , the chauffeur , the gardener , the cook -- might have a little problem with that arrangement .
Carly : You do nt have to make jokes .
Craig : Actually , I do . Because , sometimes reality seems a little much .
Carly : I know the feeling . I only wish I knew how to make it go away .
Craig : Oh , Carly . All we can do is to hold onto what we have , right ? I know . I ve lost two children now . I know I m lucky I have nt lost a third .
Dusty : Two hours before the wire transfer , he got your mother to give him $ 2 million . You can call her right now , if you want . Call the bank , whatever . I would nt bring you this if I had any doubt . Any .
Lucy : But you promised . You promised you were going to let all of this go .
Dusty : Well , I tried . But then , your mother called me , so --
Lucy : My mother asked you to investigate my father ?
Dusty : Yeah . Wisely , she suspected that something was up .
Lucy : But that s just because she wants Alan to be innocent !
Dusty : But he was innocent . He was innocent . And he was a good husband to her . He s dead now , and Craig s walking away clean ? I m sorry . I know he s your old man , but it s wrong . It s a lie . And it does nt just hurt you . What about your mother ? Does nt she deserve to know the truth ? Lucy , do nt you ?
Lucy : I hate the truth . I hate it .
Dusty : Lucy --
Lucy : No , do nt touch me . Get away from me !
Dusty : Lucy
Tom : Conspiracy , aiding and abetting a fugitive , withholding material evidence during an investigation . The list goes on .
Barbara : I m innocent , Tom .
Tom : Your daughter feels otherwise .
Barbara : She s confused .
Tom : See , I do nt believe that . I believe that because of your connection with James , an innocent , young baby boy is dead . And I only wish that I could charge you with his murder , as well .
Barbara : So how long am I going to be in here ?
Hal : It s about time you faced some facts , Barbara . Your life as you know it is over .
Margo : Oh , thank you . Great , I needed that . Now , you sit down , because you ve got to hear this . Jessica , if you think for one minute that I am going to walk out on you now , when I just got you back in my life , then you have no idea how much I love my best friend .
Jessica : You do nt have to say that .
Margo : Look , we need each other now more than ever . Tom asked me to sign separation papers .
Jessica : Separation papers ?
Margo : And I said , When pigs fly . And now Ben is -- how did he find out that the baby is nt his ?
Jessica : He ran a test result on the fetus .
Margo : Why ? Why ? Was he suspicious of something ?
Jessica : No , no . No , he just wanted to make sure that it was nt some kind of genetic problem that caused me to miscarry . He did it because he cared about me . Because he loves me .
Margo : Oh , Jess --
Jessica : And then he saw the baby s blood type .
Margo : Oh , and he knew that the baby was nt his .
Jessica : I should have just told Ben . I did nt care about Doc . It was a mistake . When you make a mistake , you should be able to tell the person you love , no matter how terrible it is .
Margo : Yeah , in a perfect world .
Jessica : I owed Ben my honesty .
Margo : You owed him monogamy , as well . I m not -- trust me , I am not saying this to be mean . You and I both know I was walking down the same road as you . And if I had just been honest --
Jessica : What , you think Tom would have understood ? If you had just told him flat out that you were dangerously attracted to another man ?
Margo : I do nt know . I suppose he still would have left me . But I do nt know . Why was everything so fuzzy back then , and it s all so crystal clear now ? Everything I did with Doc , everything , was wrong . It was a mistake . It was wrong . I allowed myself to be alone with him , knowing how attracted I was to him , knowing what it would lead to . But I was out of control .
Jessica : You wanted him . And that was all you wanted at that moment . And that s all that mattered .
Margo : Now what ?
Jessica : Now you stick to your guns . You let Tom know that you are not giving up on your marriage . You just keep sending him that message .
Margo : I sure hope he gets it . And what about you ?
Jessica : I m going to take a page from your book . I m going to find Ben , and I am going to try to make him understand that I m not giving up . I ll get counseling , or we could do counseling together . You know , whatever it takes to fix this .
Margo : But what if he does nt agree ?
Jessica : Then I m better off knowing that my marriage is over . I mean , I have spent the last few weeks of my life afraid Ben would find out , afraid that he would leave me . Well , if he s really gone , then that s something I need to know . And I need to know as soon as possible .
Doc : What do you think this is going to prove ?
Ben : I just feel like fighting .
Doc : Do you at least wanna tell me what we re fighting about ?
Ben : My wife .
Doc : What about her ? Oh , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . There is nothing going on between Jessica and me . I do nt know what you ve heard , if it s some kind of gossip --
Ben : I ve got lab results .
Doc : What are you talking about ?
Ben : I had them run an autopsy on my child . Thing is , it turns out he was nt my child .
Doc : He ? He was mine ?
Ben : Let s do this .
Doc : I m not gon na do this , man .
Ben : Come on .
Doc : I m not gon na do it .
Ben : Come on . See , I always knew you were a little coward ! You little punk !
Doc : Okay , Doctor Ben . Fine . You wanna go ?
Ben : Yeah , I wanna go .
Doc : Let s go . Let s do it , then . Come on .
Ben : Let s do it .
Doc : Okay . Come on . You wanna go , let s go .
Dusty : Hey . Sorry . What s going on ?
Lucy : My dad loves me so much .
Dusty : Yeah , of course he does .
Lucy : He had people kidnap me . How did I lose so much ?
Dusty : You did nt lose that much . You ve still got me .
Lucy : I can always count on you to look after me , huh ?
Dusty : I guess you were doing okay before I showed up .
Lucy : Not really . My baby brother s dead .
Dusty : Cabot ?
Lucy : There was an explosion , and he did nt survive and --
Dusty : Oh , baby , I m so sorry . I m so sorry . I would nt have done this today had I known .
Lucy : Like there would have been a better day to tell me my father kidnapped me . That , because of him , Wade Larson buried me alive and -- why did he do this ?
Dusty : I ca nt tell you .
Lucy : Why did he do this to me ?
Dusty : Its okay , sweetheart . It s over now . It s over now .
Lucy : I could have died . If you had nt been there to save me --
Dusty : It s okay .
Lucy : I would have .
Dusty : Hey , you re okay now .
Lucy : Did you tell my mother about this evidence ?
Dusty : No .
Lucy : Did you tell the police ?
Dusty : No .
Lucy : Why not ?
Dusty : Because it s not important enough for me just to be right . It s got to be right by you . That piece of paper , it s yours . You can tell the world what Craig did . Or you can tear it up and forget it ever happened . Whatever works for you .
Announcer : Coming up on As the World Turns --
Craig : Yes , she did . She s back . And she s healthy . And I ll never forgive myself .
Carly : For what ?
Dusty : You gon na talk to Craig ?
Lucy : It s something I have to do alone .
Rosanna : I m just going to go upstairs and pack up some things . Thank you again for understanding .
Jennifer : So , are you two still planning on getting out of here tonight ?
Jordan : Yeah . Jen , the thought of staying in this place without Cabot --
Jennifer : You could stay with me .
Jordan : I do nt think that staying at Barbara s suite is the right answer , either . I think I need some time alone .
Jennifer : Of course . Yeah , well , I should go .
Jordan : Wait , wait , wait . Jen , what s happening here ?
Jennifer : Well , of course you do nt want to stay with me . I mean , how can you even stand to look at me after what my mother did ?
Jordan : Jen . Jen , I love you .
Jennifer : I love you , too . Okay , I will let you go tonight . But let s not make a habit out of this .
Jordan : Deal .
Jennifer : What about Rosanna ?
Jordan : What do you mean ?
Jennifer : Do you really think that she should be alone ?
Jordan : I did nt even think about that . She was so insistent that I -- well , maybe I should call someone .
Jennifer : Who ? Even if Paul were here , she would nt let him anywhere near her . And she hates Craig , and Carly is still reeling over Jack s death . Who else is there ?
Jordan : There s me . If she d let me stay with her , and that s a big if , would you mind if I did that ?
Craig : When I saw that videotape the kidnappers had , when I saw Lucy in that box --
Carly : It must have been so scary .
Craig : Oh -- yeah , usually , you know , in my life , there is always an angle . There s always a way , always , but then I saw -- I saw that , and for once , there was no way . I could nt see her coming back .
Carly : But she did .
Craig : Yeah . Yeah , she did . She s back . And she s healthy . And I ll never forgive myself .
Carly : For what ?
Craig : Oh , for not seeing the warning . For not seeing what was going on .
Carly : Oh , Craig , you re a smart man , but you re not psychic . Give yourself a break .
Carly : What ?
Craig : I do nt think anybody s ever said that to me .
Carly : Well , that s because you never deserved to hear it before . But this , this one time , it was not your fault .
Craig : She s my daughter , Carly .
Carly : Yeah . And just because you love her does nt mean you can design her life so that she ll never be hurt . I ve relived the night that Jack died a million times . And every time , I ve done something different , something that kept him from going out that door and going off that bridge and leaving me .
Craig : Jack did nt die because of something you did or something you did nt do .
Carly : Right . And you are not responsible for what Sierra s husband did . You are not responsible for any of it .
Lucy : Can I call you later ?
Dusty : You gon na talk to Craig ? I ll wait for you here .
Lucy : No , you go . This is something I have to do alone .
Jessica : Ben s not at the hospital . One of the doctors said that he was asking about that gym downtown , that new place . He said he was going to try it out .
Margo : On Fillmore Street ?
Jessica : Yeah , right . Why ?
Margo : Because that s where Doc goes to spar . Does Ben know that ?
Jessica : I m going over there .
Margo : All right . I ll drive you .
Doc : Hey , listen . Can we just settle this thing man - to - man ?
Ben : You mean , man - to - dog ? Because that s what you are . You re a dog , Reese .
Doc : Okay , you know what ? You know what ? I ll cop to that , okay ? I ll cop to that . But , listen , if you re willing to walk away right now , we ll just call this thing a draw . How about it ?
Ben : You sleep with my wife . Ruin my marriage . And you want to call it a draw ?
Doc : Okay , you ve proved your point , and I ve proved mine . When it comes to being a good guy , okay , you ve got me outclassed . But in this ring , Dr. Ben , you are nothing . You do nt compare , so go home before you get hurt .
Ben : I m not finished with you .
Doc : Ben , I am finished with you .
Ben : Bring it !
Doc : Fine . You want it , good doctor ? Let s go . Come on , let s do it . Come on . Yeah , come on .
Hal : Off the record , just between you and me , why did you do it ?
Barbara : James threatened Will .
Hal : And it never occurred to you to call me ?
Barbara : How many times have you gone up against James ? How many times have you won ? I went with the odds , Hal .
Hal : We had him , Barbara . We had him on his way to a whole new kind of maximum security .
Barbara : Oh , please . It d only be a matter of time before he turned that place into his own playground . Where he could buy anything , buy anyone ! He would have killed Will with a phone call ! You know it . You ca nt deny it .
Hal : Yes , I can , Barbara . James wins because you let him ! You caved to him instead of coming to someone who could have made sure that he never made another phone call for as long as he lives .
Barbara : Can you honestly say that , if you were given the same choice , that you would not have --
Hal : Yes ! I never would have unleashed that murdering scum under any circumstances because it would have ended in -- it would have ended the way that it did .
Barbara : I m devastated about Cabot .
Hal : Really ?
Barbara : Yes .
Hal : Who was on the phone tonight , Barbara ? Was it James ? I m going to make sure you do nt hurt anybody else . This stops right now .
Jennifer : Of course I do nt mind if you stay with Rosanna . After all you guys have been through , you understand each other better than anyone else could . Better than I ever could .
Jordan : You understand more than you think , Jen . Otherwise , why would you be so concerned about Rosanna ? That compassion is one of the many things that I love about you .
Jennifer : Well , I will keep reminding myself of that as I m missing you tonight .
Jordan : Are you going to head home ?
Jennifer : Actually , back to the station . I want to know what the charges are against my mom . And I want to talk to my dad about Will and how this news , if and when he hears it , will affect him .
Jordan : You think it s gon na set him back .
Jennifer : Yeah . I mean , that s almost a guarantee . Will loves Dad and Paul and me , but I do nt know . He just has this connection with Mom .
Jordan : So do you .
Jennifer : After what she did ?
Jordan : Jen , if you need me to come with you --
Jennifer : Hey , I always need you . But tonight Rosanna needs you more . I ll see you in the morning .
Jordan : Sweet dreams .
Doc : Is that all you got ? Is that all you got ? Come on !
Jessica : What did you do ? Are you okay ?
Ben : Just get out of here !
Jessica : Please tell me you did nt break your hand . Let me see it .
Ben : Do nt touch me . I do nt need anything from you .
Jessica : Except maybe a ride to the hospital . That hand needs to be looked at . Come on , I ll take you .
Ben : Like hell you will !
James : My beautiful , talented , handsome grandson . We re going to have so much fun together , you and I. Yes . This is nt exactly what I had in mind , but it s even better than I had imagined . Now I have you all to myself . Yes . I do nt have to share with those tedious people back in Oakdale . I m sure some of them will miss you . But they ll just have to deal with their loss in their own unique , constructive way .
Craig : Now you re sure you do nt need a ride home ?
Carly : No , I ll be fine . How about you ?
Craig : Me ? I float . Come on , you know that .
Carly : That s not what I m talking about .
Craig : If I need a shoulder to cry on , I ll call you .
Carly : And if you get the answering machine ?
Craig : I ll show up on your doorstep , like always .
Carly : Hmm . Anytime .
Craig : Oh , I was just about to come looking for you . What ? What happened ? What s wrong ? What ?
Lucy : How could you ?
Dusty : I care about Lucy .
Lucinda : How dare you plan to throw her whole life topsy - turvy ? When you ca nt even say that you love her .
Lucy : I know you paid people to kidnap me !
Molly : You re the best , Holden Snyder .

### Dialogue:
Bo : Are we having fun yet ?
Hope : I am . It was so nice of Maggie to plan this whole celebration for Nick . He should really be proud of his accomplishment .
Bo : Yeah . Chelsea took off quickly .
Hope : Probably felt uncomfortable .
Bo : Why , because she broke up with Nick ?
Hope : I did nt know that you knew .
Bo : Mm . Do you know why ?
Hope : Oh , my gosh . Listen to you . No , and I was nt about to ask her .
Bo : Yeah , well , we know why Chelsea hightailed it out of here , but ... what was Max s excuse ?
Stephanie : Max , there you are .
Max : Hey , Steph .
Stephanie : Is that all you re gon na say ?
Max : You look hot .
Stephanie : Try again .
Max : I missed you ?
Stephanie : Nice try , but that s not what I want to hear right now . I want to know why you ran out of Chez Rouge when we were toasting Nick .
Abe : Thank you .
John : How long you gon na keep me here ?
Abe : Well , that s up to you . Are you ready to admit those drugs we found on board your ship are yours ?
John : No .
Abe : We have proof , John .
John : Well , of course , you do .
Abe : What s that supposed to mean ?
John : I was set up .
Abe : John , you and I go a long way back , and I do nt want to believe that you ve been involved in trafficking drugs .
John : Well , then , do nt . You have a choice .
Abe : As I said before , we have proof . So , is there anything else you want to say ?
John : Yes , there is . Go to hell .
Marlena : Roman , you re welcome to your opinion , but I happen to believe that my John is coming back to me .
Roman : I hope you re right . I just do nt want to see you get hurt over this .
Marlena : I m not going to get hurt over this .
Roman : Marlena , let me ask you this . Do you really want to waste the rest of your life chasing after a fantasy ?
Marlena : If I gave up on him right now , I d wake up every single morning wondering , what if I d done one more thing that brought him back to me ?
Roman : There comes a time when you just have to let it go .
Marlena : And this is not the time . I also think there s something on the disk we re looking for that will give John the information that he needs .
Roman : Even so , can you really get past the fact that this man was a major drug smuggler ? This is serious business , Doc .
Marlena : I do nt believe that s true .
Roman : The drugs were found on his ship in his containers .
Marlena : There s no proof he was involved . Plus , they might have been planted there .
Roman : That s true . That is true , and I hope you re right , especially for your sake . We ll leave it at that , okay ? [ Doorbell rings ] Rolf ! [ Rings ] What are you doing here ?
Marlena : Yes ?
Ava : Are you Dr. Marlena Evans ?
Marlena : I am .
Ava : Great . I m , uh , Ava Vitali .
Marlena : I know who you are .
Ava : Oh , E.J. already spoke to you about me ?
Marlena : E.J. I did nt know the two of you were friends .
Ava : Oh , no , we re not . We re not . I m , uh , I m a client .
Marlena : He does nt discuss his clients with me , and , unfortunately , he s not home .
Ava : Oh , no , no , no . It s okay , because , um , I came to see you . May -- may I come in ? Wow . You have a lovely home .
Marlena : What can I do for you , Miss Vitali ?
Ava : Oh , no , it s Ava , please .
Marlena : Ava .
Ava : Well , E.J. said that you re a really great psychiatrist , and I could use someone to talk to .
Bo : Oh , hey . How s our angel ?
Hope : Absolutely perfect . Your mom said that she ate a really good dinner and then she went right to sleep .
Bo : Oh , good . Steve and Kay ?
Hope : They re at the hospital visiting with Joey .
Bo : How s he doing ?
Hope : Still touch and go .
Bo : Oh , man . My little nephew s gon na pull through .
Hope : Yes , he is . University Hospital has one of the best neonatal ICU s in the country . He s in good hands .
Bo : What do you say -- should we stop by there , see how everybody s doing ?
Hope : I -- are you in my head ? Because I swear to God , I just suggested the same thing to Kayla . But , of course , she said , no , do nt come . She wants the two of us to enjoy ourselves and have a nice evening .
Bo : Well , what do you think ?
Hope : I think that ... we should respect her wishes .
Bo : Okay . It is early .
Hope : And Ciara is with your mom .
Bo : There s no reason for us to go home .
Hope : Unless , of course , maybe you re tired .
Bo : [ Chuckles ]
Roman : My little brother tired ? Never .
Hope : Hi .
Bo : Well , look what the cat dragged in . No offense , Kate .
Kate : Oh , no offense taken .
Roman : Early dinner ?
Hope : No . Actually we re here for a celebration that Maggie was throwing for Nick Fallon .
Bo : You here for dinner ?
Kate : Yes , we are . Right ?
Hope : Oh , well , would you like to join us ?
Roman : Sounds good to me . What do you think , Kate ?
Kate : Sure .
Bo : Okay .
Roman : So , either of you talk to Steve and Kayla ?
Hope : Oh , I did -- earlier . They re at the hospital visiting with Joey . He s still in ICU .
Kate : I heard that she went into early labor and that the baby was premature . Does anyone know why ?
Bo : Kay went through a lot of stress when Ava Vitali was holding us hostage . Besides , she was worried that Martino was gon na kill her husband there for a while .
Kate : Yeah . That was all pretty terrible . I could nt believe what I read -- that her father was drugging her .
Hope : You knew Martino Vitali . Were you surprised ?
Kate : I knew him a long time ago . I had no idea what a monster he had become .
Roman : I already talked to Kate about her involvement with Vitali .
Bo : Yeah , well , it s water under the bridge . He s dead . Salem s a safer place for it . That s what s important .
Roman : I agree .
Maggie : [ Squeals ] Oh , my goodness . Oh , honey , it s gorgeous . Oh , look at that .
Anna : Is nt it ? Is nt it ? Can you believe it ? We re married again .
Maggie : Oh , I am so happy for both of you .
Tony : Thank you , Maggie . Now we d like the best table in the house .
Maggie : Well , of course .
Anna : Did we tell you that we just got back from our honeymoon in Bora - Bora ?
Maggie : Ooh , I am so jealous .
Abe : Why d you do it , John ?
John : Philip Kiriakis framed me . He planted drugs on my ship .
Abe : You know , you re making a very serious accusation .
John : Well , so are you , only difference being I m right and you re wrong .
Abe : We have a lot of evidence against you , John .
John : I do nt know what kind of evidence you think you have , but I can advise you to dot your I s and cross your T s before you drag my name through the dirt because if your case ever goes to trial , your whole department will live to regret that day .
Abe : Is that right ?
John : Oh , I can assure you . And while you re wasting your time questioning me , Philip Kiriakis is out there covering his tracks . So I have to admonish you , commissioner . You go out there and you do your job -- catch the bad guy . [ Knock on door ] [ Door opens , closes ]
Roman : You are under arrest for assaulting a police officer and , depending on what we find , possibly trafficking in a controlled substance .
John : I do nt think so .
Roman : John , let s do this quickly and quietly .
John : Listen to the words coming out of my mouth , or do I need to knock you out to drive my point home ?
Marlena : John , you ve got to ...
John : No one locks me up .
Roman : Do nt make this any harder , John . John , you give me no choice .
Marlena : Please . It ll be okay . I ll go with you .
Roman : Listen to her ! Put your hands behind your back .
John : I said no cuffs !
Marlena : Call my office in the morning . My secretary will make an appointment for you .
Ava : But I really need to speak with you tonight .
Marlena : It was highly inappropriate of you to come here unannounced . Call my office in the morning . We ll take it from there .
Ava : Look , you re right . You re right . I am sorry . I should nt have come here without calling , but I really -- look , I m desperate , Dr. Evans , and I need to speak to someone now . Please . I have no one else to talk to .
Marlena : Come in the living room , please .
Ava : Thank you . Thank you . I know that I should nt have come here like this . It s just ...
Marlena : I m not sure that I m the right person to help you .
Ava : But E.J. thinks you are .
Marlena : Bo and Hope , Steve and Kayla are very dear friends of mine . I was on the plane that you allegedly tampered with .
Ava : I know .
Marlena : The two men that died -- the pilots -- they were really good men . Shawn Brady was my father - in - law .
Ava : I am so sorry . You know what ? You re right . I should nt have come here . I do nt how you can stand to look at me , let alone have me in your home .
Marlena : I took an oath ... to help people . I can see you are clearly in need of help .
Ava : I am .
Marlena : I m not sure I m the person to help you , but I will listen to you .
Ava : Thank you . E.J. was right about you .
Marlena : Please sit down .
Ava : Okay . You know what I did to your friends , but what you may not know is that I was being drugged when I did all those horrible things .
Marlena : I do know that . Your father s death and the circumstances were all over the papers . And your arrest and hospitalization , also .
Ava : Right . I forgot there really are nt any secrets anymore , are there ?
Marlena : No , there are nt . It must have been difficult to get those drugs out of your system .
Ava : Well , it was nt easy . And , ironically , I have Kayla to thank for getting me the help that I need . She s the one who realized that my psychiatrist was prescribing the drugs that made me have my irrational behavior . She saved my life .
Marlena : I find it hard to believe that your doctor would do that to you .
Ava : Yeah , well , he did . He did it for money . My Father paid my psychiatrist to make me crazy .
Marlena : Oh .
Ava : Thank God they re both dead . Listen , it s just that -- that s why it was really hard for me to come here tonight -- okay ? -- Cause I m not sure that I trust psychiatrists anymore .
Marlena : That s not too hard to understand .
Ava : Yeah , but E.J. said that I could trust you .
Marlena : You can . Go on .
Ava : Well , it s , um -- even though I was being drugged when I did those horrible things , I still feel bad about it .
Marlena : That s one of the important steps towards healing .
Ava : Do you really think I can get past this ?
Marlena : If you really want to ... I think you can .
Ava : I do , because I need to learn how to live with this horrible guilt that I m feeling .
Max : [ Sighs ] You want to know why I left Chez Rouge early ?
Stephanie : Yes .
Max : Because I was a mess and Chez Rouge is a nice place .
Stephanie : So you left because you were uncomfortable with what you were wearing ?
Max : Yeah . I was running late , so as soon as my shift was done at the pier , I went right down to Chez Rouge .
Stephanie : Is that the only reason ?
Max : I had to get to work , too .
Stephanie : Are you sure you did nt leave because you were angry ?
Max : Why would I be angry ?
Stephanie : Well , because the dean had some really nice things to say about Nick s work .
Max : Yeah ? So ?
Stephanie : So Nick probably would nt have gotten the approval to build his prototype if it had nt been for you catching the mistakes in his proposal .
Max : I m sure he would have .
Stephanie : Nick does nt think so ... and neither do I.
Max : Can we please drop this ?
Stephanie : Are you sure you did nt leave because you were jealous of Nick ?
Max : Yes . Now , can we please change the subject ?
Stephanie : No , Max , we ca nt .
Roman : Well , Tony , Anna finally made you an honest man . [ Laughter ]
Tony : I would nt say that . But , uh , she did marry me , though .
Anna : And I m so glad I did .
Hope : I am so thrilled for the two of you .
Anna : Thank you , Hope .
Maggie : Me too . And I will send over some champagne for the newlyweds and all of you .
Tony : Thank you , Maggie .
Maggie : My pleasure .
Bo : You just got back from your honeymoon .
Anna : Yes . We spent a week in Bora - Bora .
Tony : Oh , it was magnificent .
Kate : I was there a few years ago . I had such a wonderful time .
Anna : I m sure you did . We stayed at this fabulous villa , where we had our own staff , including a world - class chef , and this man spoiled me rotten the entire week .
Tony : Only the best for you , my darling .
Hope : I want to hear all about your honeymoon . Please , keep telling us more .
Anna : Okay , okay . But first things first . Bo ... you look ... well , I ll tell you . So I take it that the transplant surgery was a complete success ?
Bo : Yeah . Dr. Jonas patched me up , and I m as good as new .
Anna : And Chelsea ?
Hope : She s , uh , she s doing well .
Anna : Oh , that is good news .
Kate : It was a miracle , really . I mean , first we find out that Bo is sick , and then we found out that Chelsea was the only match , and we were pretty frightened .
Roman : Well , to tell you the truth , I did nt think it was all that frightening , cause I knew Chelsea and Bo would be just fine . They re Brady s , and as the old saying goes , we take a licking , but we keep right on ticking .
Bo : Ai nt that the truth ?
Anna : So , what s going on with you two ? Are you back together again ?
Marlena : In order for you to get over these intense feelings of guilt , you ve got to take responsibility for the things you did . [ Screaming ]
Ava : I have . I know I was wrong .
Marlena : That s good .
Ava : But what do I do ?
Marlena : Well , you get yourself into counseling . I - I can give you a very good referral .
Ava : What , you ca nt help me ?
Marlena : I m afraid I could nt stay objective .
Ava : You think I m lying . [ Chuckles ]
Marlena : I did nt say that .
Ava : No , you did nt have to .
Marlena : It s natural for you to mistrust people after what you ve been through . Right now , you need to trust me ... and listen to me for the next few minutes . Can you do that ?
Ava : Yeah .
Marlena : Good . I did nt know your father ... but I knew of him . And that s one of the reasons I believe everything you re saying . What your father did to you was inexcusable .
Ava : He took away so many years of my life that I can never get back . And I do nt know how to deal with that .
Marlena : Well , now you re clean , and he s dead .
Ava : Yeah , and I have to deal with what he did . And it is a lot harder than I thought it would be .
Marlena : Regardless of what he ever did to you , he was your father . You loved him .
Ava : Yeah , and he told me that no one was more special or more important to him than I was . So , how I am supposed to come to grips with what he did ?
Marlena : That may take a very long time ... or it may never happen . You may never get the understanding and closure you re searching for . But you re free , and you can live your life as you choose .
Ava : Yeah , and that s supposed to make me happy , right ?
Marlena : Does nt it ?
Ava : No . No , it does nt . You want to know what the worst part about starting over is ?
Marlena : What is it ?
Ava : I do nt even know who I am or what I want anymore , and that truly scares me .
Stephanie : Why do you close up on me every time I mention Nick s work ?
Max : I do nt .
Stephanie : Yes , you do , and not only that . You lied to me about how much you actually changed . Max , it s like you re hiding from me who you are , and I do nt like it .
Max : Steph , you know who I am .
Stephanie : Now I do . Why did nt you tell me you were some kind of mathematical genius ?
Anna : Should I be expecting to receive a wedding invitation sometime soon ?
Both : A wedding invitation ?
Roman : Uh , no . We just decided to get together , have a little dinner , and catch up a little bit .
Anna : Aw , that s a shame .
Tony : Well , Anna s just a hopeless romantic . Darling , not everybody s as fortunate as you and I.
Hope : Oh , Anna , Tony , I do nt know if you know this , but Maggie received a green certification for Chez Rouge .
Tony : Is nt that wonderful ?
Hope : Is nt it amazing ?
Bo : Hope and I have made some changes and are planning to make more to our house . We re trying to make it as eco - friendly as possible .
Kate : Oh , I think that s a great idea .
Anna : Honey , maybe we should consider renovating our home , too .
Tony : Oh , what a great idea . You re missing an important point , though .
Anna : What ?
Tony : We have yet to decide where we re going to live .
Anna : Ooh , that is important .
Maggie : Well , I come bearing gifts for the whole table . This one for you .
Tony : Oh , thank you , Maggie .
Anna : We gladly accept .
Maggie : Enjoy .
Tony : Thank you . Well , here we go . [ Cork pops ] [ Laughter and shouting ]
Ava : Oh , ever since he left me , I ate , I drank , I breathed Patch . I was totally obsessed with him -- obsessed with finding him and getting him back . And ... I do nt know . Now that I m off the medication ... I realize I - I may not love him anymore .
Marlena : How does that feel ?
Ava : Well , it scares me .
Marlena : Why ?
Ava : Because my reason for living s gone ... and I do nt know what to do with that .
Marlena : You ve already made a conscious decision to stop living in the past . That s the best way to start moving on .
Ava : Yeah , but here s the thing . I - I may go to jail .
Marlena : Then you just keep moving on . Look , you want substance and quality in your life . You can have that . I mean , you re over your father . You re over the drugs . You re over the obsession . You re free . You re on the right path . Get yourself in therapy with a really great , experienced therapist . And if you do that , I think you can find what you re looking for .
Ava : Wow . Thank you . You know , E.J. was right about you .
Marlena : I m gon na give you a phone number . It s a therapist friend of mine that you can talk to quite freely .
Ava : Oh , no , no , no , no . No , I have taken up way too much of your time already .
Marlena : It ll just take one more minute .
Ava : I will call your office in the morning . Thank you for listening to me . It helped .
Marlena : I m glad .
Ava : I ll , um , I ll see myself out .
Max : I m not a genius .
Stephanie : Okay . Incredibly smart .
Max : Yeah , well , so are a lot of people .
Stephanie : We re talking about you right now . I did nt know that you knew anything about Nick s work .
Max : I do nt , really .
Stephanie : You knew enough to change things in his proposal .
Max : It was blind luck .
Stephanie : [ Sighs ] I ca nt figure out if you re just being modest or intentionally trying to lie to me .
Max : Why are you pushing this ?
Stephanie : Because I want to know how you did what you did . You did nt go to college , and I know you did nt learn this stuff on the racetrack . Where did you learn it , Max ?
Max : Nowhere . I ve always been good at numbers .
Stephanie : Why keep it a secret ?
Max : It s not a big deal .
Stephanie : It is a big deal . There s a whole other side of you I do nt know about , and you refuse to show me , and I want to know why .
Anna : So I told Tony , yes , darling , I would love to go scuba diving , but first you re gon na have to get rid of the sharks and all the stingrays swimming outside my window .
Tony : And you know what I did ? I threw her in anyway . Then I had to rescue her .
Bo : Quite the hero , huh ?
Tony : May I have this dance ?
Anna : You may .
Tony : Would you excuse us , please ?
Bo : Ow ! Why d you kick me ? Ow . What ? Huh ? Oh ! Uh , so , may I have this dance ?
Hope : I thought you d never ask .
Roman : Well done , little brother .
Hope : He s so smooth , is nt he ?
Kate : Could you believe these two ?
Roman : What ?
Kate : What ? The way they were all over each other . God , they should get a room .
Roman : Kate , come on . Give them a break . They re in love .
Kate : I think they re in heat .
Roman : Would you like to dance ?
Kate : Yeah , I would love to .
Roman : Good .
Anna : You know , I do nt buy it . I still think there s something going on between those two .
Tony : Oh . So what if there is ?
Anna : I think Roman could do better .
Tony : What , than Kate ?
Anna : Yes , Tony .
Tony : Well , well . Whatever you think . I still ca nt believe you actually thought that Kate and I were seeing each other .
Anna : I admitted that I was wrong , did nt I ?
Tony : Yeah , you did .
Anna : [ Chuckling ] Was I ?
Roman : So , how long do you give it ?
Bo : Well , let s see .
Hope : Will you guys stop it ?
Kate : I say two weeks .
Bo : That s a long time .
Kate : Believe me , I know .
Hope : Concentrate . On me . Is this the best you can do ?
Bo : Hold on , darling . I m just getting warmed up .
Marlena : How are you ?
John : Well , I could nt be better . You know how much I love confined spaces .
Marlena : I had no idea that you would be so claustrophobic .
John : And now that you know ?
Marlena : I d like to help .
John : No , thank you . You ve done enough .
Marlena : I know you re angry with me .
John : What are you back here for , anyway -- an encore ? Here , let me give you a hand . Which arm would you like to inject with a sedative this time ?
Marlena : You were very agitated when Roman tried to arrest you .
John : So ?
Marlena : I sedated you .
John : Why ?
Marlena : I was afraid somebody might get hurt .
John : And you were afraid that someone would be Roman .
Marlena : I was afraid it might be you .
John : Ah , good job , Blondie . Almost sounded sincere .
Marlena : I did nt come here to apologize .
John : Why are you here ? No . Let me guess . Abe and Roman wanted you to get a confession out of me , right ?
Marlena : No . But I thought you might have something that you want to confess .
John : You do think I m guilty .
Marlena : John , did you bring those drugs to Salem ?
John : No , I did nt ! [ Exhales deeply ] That s the truth .
Marlena : Then where did they come from ?
John : I told you -- I ve been set up .
Marlena : You still think that Philip Kiriakis planted them and framed you ?
John : I know he did .
Marlena : John , I ve told you . I ve known Philip his whole life . I ca nt believe he would be involved in drug trafficking .
John : But you believe that I could be ?
Marlena : I do nt know what you re capable of anymore .
John : Not that ! What about Victor ? Everybody in the business community knows the old man will do anything to seal the deal .
Marlena : That used to be true , but he s changed .
John : Oh , are you sure about that ?
Marlena : Yeah .
John : Damn it , I m being set up ! Why wo nt you believe me ?
Marlena : Because ever since you ve come back , you re acting like a criminal .
Anna : Darling ?
Tony : Hmm ?
Anna : Did you sleep with Kate before we were married ?
Tony : No , of course not .
Anna : And you re telling me the truth ?
Tony : Anna , we just got back from our honeymoon . I mean , this is ridiculous jealousy .
Anna : I know , but --
Tony : What ? You know what I should do ? I should just fling you to the floor and just ravage you right here .
Anna : Well , what would that prove ?
Tony : It would prove that you re the only woman for me .
Anna : Do nt you forget it , buddy -- you re mine .
Hope : How you feeling ?
Bo : Like I could do this all night .
Hope : No lower - back pain ?
Bo : Mnh - mnh . How s the shoulder ?
Hope : Mm . A little sore .
Bo : Why did nt you say so ? We do nt have to dance .
Hope : I want to dance . I want to see if you still have it .
Bo : I can think of something that s a little more fun .
Roman : You know , Tony and Anna seem very happy . I do hope their marriage lasts this time .
Kate : Hmm .
Roman : Kate , lighten up . We re having a good time here .
Kate : Yeah . I know , I know . Actually , I was thinking about Lucas being under house arrest at the DiMera mansion , living with E.J. and Sami . It s just --
Roman : I m so glad you brought that up , because there s something I ve been meaning to say to you about meddling in Sami and Lucas lives .
Max : Stephanie , you know everything there is to know about me .
Stephanie : I did nt know you were really good at applied physics .
Max : You also did nt know that my favorite movie is Scarface -- the original , with Paul Muni .
Stephanie : Who ?
Max : That does nt mean that I was trying to hide it from you . There s just some things we have nt shared yet . And in some ways , we ll still getting to know each other . Is nt that what dating s all about ? [ Door opens ]
Stephanie : You re not welcome here .
Stephanie : Did you hear what I said ? I want you to leave .
Ava : Look , I will . I am just looking for my friend , okay ?
Stephanie : Do you see them ?
Ava : No .
Stephanie : Then go . I said go !
Ava : Is there any news about the baby ?
Stephanie : No .
Ava : Please tell your parents I am thinking about them .
Stephanie : I m sure they will feel much better .
Max : Wow , you were pretty harsh .
Stephanie : Well , she deserved it and so will you if you do nt start telling me the truth .
Bo : Come on , you guys . You better get a room .
Tony : We just might .
Hope : Do nt listen to him .
Anna : Hey , Bo , I did nt realize that you like to dance .
Bo : Just call me Twinkletoes .
Anna : Okay , Twinkletoes .
Hope : Anna , now that you two are married , are you going to quit your job and work for Tony ?
Kate : Okay , look , before you say anything , I just want to tell you that I am absolutely through interfering in Sami and Lucas lives .
Roman : I have heard that before .
Kate : Yes , I know , but this time I mean it .
Roman : Okay . What s changed ?
Kate : I ve got it . Lucas is an adult . He can make decisions on his own .
Roman : And he will , you know , whether you approve or not .
Kate : I know .
Roman : Do you really mean it this time ?
Kate : I do . Sami and Lucas do nt have to worry about me meddling in their lives anymore .
Roman : I m glad to hear that , and not just for their sake . For your sake .
John : I ve been behaving like a criminal .
Marlena : Yes , you have .
John : That s a joke .
Marlena : I m not the only person that thinks that , John .
John : Since when is a person guilty until proven innocent ?
Marlena : Abe and Roman say they have evidence that proves the drugs are yours .
John : Have you seen this evidence ?
Marlena : No .
John : Neither have I.
Marlena : So , what are you saying , that Abe and Roman are lying ?
John : No , I m saying I d just like to see this evidence that everyone s talking about .
Marlena : Why ? Do you think it might be real ?
John : You did nt answer my question . Why are you here ?
Marlena : I m here in the hopes that you can persuade me that you are innocent .
John : And have I ? I do nt think that s the reason you re here . I think that you believe you came here hoping to find the old John , because you want him back .
Marlena : I do . I do . But I m not sure that s possible anymore . And now I have to decide if you -- this new you -- is capable of that kind of a crime .
John : Are you asking me if I traffic in drugs ? What does your gut tell you ?
Marlena : That you do nt .
Max : I do nt want to argue with you .
Stephanie : Then be honest .
Max : What do you want to know ?
Stephanie : Does anyone else know that you re really good at applied physics ?
Max : I do nt think so , and , besides , I told you I m not that good .
Stephanie : It s bull . You re much better at that than you are being a good boyfriend .
Max : Wow . What is that supposed to mean ?
Stephanie : It means a good boyfriend would nt lie to his girlfriend . He would nt hide from her who he really is .
Max : Look , you know what ? I m just getting off work right now , and I m tired . Can we not do this tonight ?
Stephanie : I wish you would stop putting me off .
Max : You know what ? I m just getting off work , and I m gon na go up and change . When I come back down , then we ll go visit your parents at their new place , okay ?
Stephanie : Fine . I m sure they ll be back by the time you re done .
Max : Great . I ll be quick .
Anna : Well , I m putting my career on hold for the time being until I can decide what to do , which may be going to the spa every day or shopping . What do you think , honey ?
Tony : I earn so she can spend .
Anna : [ Chuckles ] See ? What girl would nt want to be married to this man ?
Kate : Anna , you married a good man .
Roman : And , Tony , you married a good woman .
Anna : Thank you , Roman .
Bo : Well , here s to living happily ever after .
Tony : Salute . Oh . That s mine .
Kate : Cheers .
Tony : Cheers , everyone . [ Door opens ]
Officer : Time s up , Dr. Evans . I m going to have to ask you to leave .
Marlena : I have to go .
John : Thank you .
Marlena : I love you .
John : I know .
Officer : Dr. Evans . [ Door closes ]
E.J. : That s the secret .
Nicole : Oh .
E.J. : Keep it a secret , okay ? No telling .
Abe : Take a look , John .
John : What is it ?
Roman : A real good reason for you to plead guilty at your arraignment .
Chloe : What s this ?
Philip : I said leave it .

### Dialogue:
Claire : Well , this is just great . My last video -- my last music video -- put me back almost 600 bucks ... it does nt have quite as many hits as how to water your lawn . Was jade right ? I mean , yeah , I d like to be famous , but ugh ... God , how desperate am I ?
Theo : Hey , Dad .
Abe : Hey ! Theo , what are you doing here ?
Theo : Well , I scanned all the photos you wanted , but I never got a chance to give them to you , so I thought I d come down .
Abe : Oh ... well , thank you .
Theo : Uh ... but mainly I wanted to know if you d heard anything about Chad and Lani .
Abe : No , no -- no news . But that does nt mean you should give up hope . The search is ongoing and everything that can be done is being done .
Theo : Do you think they re gon na find them ?
Abe : I do . Hey , uh , you know , I heard that Ciara left town for the summer . You must miss her .
Theo : Yeah , um ... more than that , I think it s my fault that she left .
Kate : André , get your ass down here !
Kate : [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]
André : Is nt it a little early in the morning to be hitting the bottle , even for you ?
Kate : Believe me , I m not celebrating .
André : But you re in a better mood than you were last night .
Kate : Look , sleeping beauty , the DiMera board is going to vote for a new CEO in less than two hours . You have had a whole night to think about it . Are we getting married or are nt we ?
André : [ Groans / sighs ]
Eric : They re still in the judge s chambers . There s no news on Nicole s sentence .
Brady : You know , I really wish you d tell me what you did that might help Nicole .
Eric : It might have made things worse .
Duncan : As you know , I was ready to deliver my ruling before ms . Lane made her dramatic entrance . Her plea has given me a lot to consider . However , the fact remains , ms . Walker , you broke the law . You kidnapped an infant , took her across state and national borders . Law enforcement launched a worldwide manhunt to bring you in . This can not be ignored . I ve weighed all these factors , and I m now ready to make my decision . Ms. Walker , you have to pay for what you did ... but I do nt think that jail time is warranted . I hereby sentence Nicole walker to ... time served ... a $ 250,000 fine ... and 300 hours of community service .
Nicole : Thank you . Thank you so much .
André : Well , you certainly make marrying you an enticing proposition . What , a lifetime of you bellowing up the stairs at me while you re gulping down a liquid breakfast ? Barraging me with questions before I ve had a chance to check my sources . I do nt even know where my brother is -- I do nt even know if he s alive or not .
Kate : I checked your sources . There s no news . And I did nt get that you were upset since you slept away half of the morning .
André : I was up till 5 : 00 A.M. , I - I was up all night worrying about him .
Kate : There s no point . There s no point , because there s nothing you can do to help -- if anything , you should be worrying about what s going to be here for him once he gets back . Because even if the board supports him , there is no way they re going to renew him as CEO , given the circumstances . Am I right ?
André : Right .
Kate : And as of this moment , right now , the majority of the board want to just break up the company .
André : Damn shin -- it s his doing .
Kate : And take the profits .
André : That man is nothing but a traitor . Imagine him ... implying that I ... I m not mentally stable enough to run a company !
Kate : He did nt imply it . He waged a smear campaign against you -- a very successful smear campaign -- and right now , there s not one person on that board that would vote for you .
André : That s because of those lies and innuendo . You know , I m gon na sue for defamation of character .
Kate : [ Stammers ] Do nt ! Just -- it s not worth it ! We do nt have the time . We do nt have the time ! And even if you went into battle , you would nt win .
André : Thank you for the vote of confidence .
Kate : Look ... I will be able to caress your battered ego once we re married . And we do need to get married . The board trusts me , but they need a DiMera . Therefore , I need to become a DiMera . And , god help me , you were the only one left . André ... you have to know that I m worried sick about Chad -- I am . But I know there s nothing that I can do . But I do know that you and I together can make sure that when he gets back ... DiMera enterprises still is in existence . Now , you need to get dressed , and we need to get this show on the road .
Chloe : I , um ... I m sorry for everything that you ve been through .
Nicole : Chloe , let s ... let s not think about the past . Let s look to the future .
Justin : Nicole , we need to sign some papers .
Nicole : Yeah , I m talking to Chloe .
Justin : I can see that , but we need to sign these papers before the judge changes her mind .
Nicole : The judge is nt going to change her mind .
Justin : And you re not talking to Chloe .
Nicole : Why not ? She understood what I did . She does nt blame me . She knows I m a good person .
Justin : Yes . I was there .
Nicole : This changes everything -- we re friends again .
Justin : Mmm ... and you re gon na take that ball and run with it -- you re ready to press your advantage ?
Nicole : I do nt know what you mean .
Justin : I mean , you were nt just going to thank Chloe for keeping you out of jail . You were gon na ask if you could become a bigger part ... of holly s life .
Nicole : Well , I am her mother .
Justin : And her mother has the worst timing in the history of timing . You need to back away , okay ? If you even mention visitation rights , you re gon na scare Chloe off .
Nicole : I do nt need visitation -- I need custody .
Justin : Oh , my god .
Nicole : Okay , shared custody .
Justin : Nicole , do not ask Chloe for something she will never give .
Nicole : Justin ... if you think I m gon na give up on my daughter after everything that Brady and I went through , you do nt know me at all .
Hope : Surprise !
Claire : Gram ! Hi !
Hope : Hi , sweetheart .
Claire : Hi . What are you doing here ?
Hope : Oh , Ciara said she left some sweaters in a box under her bed .
Claire : Yeah , um , I packed them up -- I was gon na mail them this morning .
Hope : Let me save you the trip . Is something wrong ?
Claire : I do nt know . I just miss Ciara a lot .
Hope : Aw . You re not alone . Me too .
Claire : Now that she s gone , I dunno ... I realize what a cool head she had . Some of my other friends , you know , theyll ... theyll give me advice , but ... I m just not so sure that it s good advice .
Hope : Like what ?
Claire : Like ... pushing me to do things to get attention . They say that that ll make people wanna listen to my music .
Hope : Should nt your music ... make people wanna listen to your music ?
Claire : Well , I mean , I m not Mozart . I m a performer . And I know that it sounds really self - centered , but ... sometimes when you are a performer , it s just really hard not to be ... I do nt know .
Hope : Oh , um , hmm -- would those words be center of attention ?
Claire : Yes !
Claire : Yes , and it s like my career got off to such a great start , and now it s just like I m totally stalled . But I wanna be singing to huge crowds ... and I wanna be touring the country . I do nt wanna be flipping burgers in Salem .
Hope : Oh , sweetheart , everybody has to pay their dues . You re flipping burgers , huh ?
Claire : Well , no , not yet , but it s what I have to look forward to .
Hope : You know what , summer jobs can be fun . And you can meet a lot of new people .
Claire : Well , people from Salem . You know , I grew up traveling to all these awesome and exotic locations , and now it s just like I m stuck here , and it s so boring .
Hope : Oh , my gosh ! I lost my head -- I forgot ! Us Salemites , we lead such ... dull , humdrum lives , do nt we ?
Claire : Well , I just wanna be going to parties with famous and exciting people , and I wanna see my picture on magazine covers . And I wanna be getting millions of hits on my YouTube videos .
Hope : Do you hear yourself ? Do you hear yourself ?
Claire : What ?
Hope : Honey , you-- you keep talking about fame . You re not talking about your passion , your music , your love . I mean , your music , it fills your soul . Fame , it just ... itll leave you feeling empty . Alone .
Abe : Can you explain what you meant by that ?
Theo : I did something wrong .
Abe : Well , you do nt have to tell me if you do nt want to .
Theo : No , I think I do , um ... I set her up with a classmate of ours , and I made her think that they had a lot of stuff in common .
Abe : And they did nt .
Theo : No , no , I told him what to say what he liked and ... you know , stuff like that . I - I thought I was doing a good thing .
Abe : You wanted her to be happy , and she was nt .
Theo : I mean , at first , she really liked him , but then ...
Abe : She found out , and she was mad at you .
Theo : Dad , he just -- he was nt a good person . I mean , he started using her , started asking her for money . So I had to tell her the truth .
Abe : You know , I can ... understand she was mad at you for what you had done . But when she has some time to think about it , she ll see you were looking out for her , just trying to be her friend . I think eventually she ll stop being mad at you .
Theo : I mean , the ... the problem is nt that she s mad at me . The problem is that she s still in love with me .
Justin : Listen to me . Do . Not . Push . Chloe . Especially not now . Do nt make her sorry she helped you .
Nicole : You re right . Chloe ... thank you again . I - I know you did nt have to come here today .
Chloe : Well , you ... youve been through enough , and I m just glad that you re safe and away from Xander .
Nicole : So what happened ? Why ... why did you come here and say what you did to the judge ?
Chloe : Well , it was nt exactly a what . It was Eric .
Kate : I take it , then , we re agreed .
André : To the happy couple .
Kate : I got my friend , judge Duncan , to see me . I told her I needed a big favor , but I did nt tell her what it was .
André : So what does that make me ... husband number what ?
Kate : I know I have it written down somewhere . You re gon na have to wait on that .
André : I hate to ruin this romantic moment , but do nt you think we should have some kind of prenup ?
Kate : Oh , come on -- I thought this was till death do us part .
André : Oh , do nt give me any ideas .
Kate : We do nt have time for that -- we need to do this ASAP . If not , we re gon na end up with nothing , and believe me , half of nothing is nothing .
André : You have such an amazing concept of 50/50 . But ... I m sorry , but I think I need you to sign this .
Kate : What ? It s printed ?
André : Yeah , well , there s a whole supply of them in the closet . The DiMeras always have a supply of prenups on hand . Father ... ha ... married almost as many times as he died .
Kate : You know , there are going to be some ground rules . No sex ... at least not between the two of us . No sharing a bed .
André : But we already have separate rooms . And I have some ground rules of my own . No talking to me ... especially in that tone of voice you use when you want something . And not before I have my morning coffee .
Kate : Well , I was thinking that after we re married , I wo nt have to talk to you at all .
Kate : Ah , Harold !
Harold : You rang ?
Kate : Yes , I did . We are going down to the courthouse , and we need you to sign something .
Harold : I make it a rule , maam , not to get involved with family business .
Kate : Oh , this is nt business .
André : Well , it sure as hell is nt pleasure .
Kate : [ Chuckles ] Mr. DiMera and I are getting married . And we re going to need you as our witness .
Harold : I hope I catch the bouquet .
Nicole : Eric spoke to you ?
Chloe : Yeah . He ... went on and on about ... your love for holly and how helping you would be in holly s best interest . Then I just started thinking that I did nt want you to go to prison . You were my best friend . My only friend . I ve hated these last few months , being enemies .
Nicole : Me too .
Chloe : When all along , our real enemy was Deimos .
Nicole : I hated fighting with you .
Chloe : Me too .
Nicole : Chloe ... c - can I just look at holly ?
Justin : Nicole , we need to sign these papers .
Nicole : Just -- just a look .
Chloe : She s sleeping . I mean , it s been a tough day .
Nicole : I wo nt wake her . I promise .
Chloe : Okay .
Justine : Nicole .
Nicole : Chloe , I need to -- I need to ask you something .
Chloe : Uh , we need to go . Let s ... just leave things the way that they are for right now , okay ?
Nicole : [ Whispers ] Okay . Just take care of her .
Chloe : I will .
Justin : [ Softly ] I m sorry .
Abe : Do you feel the same way about her ?
Theo : What ?
Abe : Do you love her ? You ve always been friends . You dated for a while . Are you still in love with her ?
Theo : Dad , you re grilling me like you re still a cop .
Abe : I understand the situation is complicated , but ... Claire and Ciara are related . They re friends . You care about both of them .
Theo : All right . I love Ciara as a friend ... but I m in love with Claire .
Abe : I understand . A word of caution . Claire is -- is ... lovely , and I like her very much . But do nt get too serious too young , okay ?
Theo : I mean ... too late . We re already serious . I mean , we re committed to each other , and I do nt see anything changing that .
Hope : Honey , I know from experience that doing ... what you love is one of the most important , exhilarating things in life , but ... family first . Always . Friends ... and then work , hard work .
Claire : Mm - hmm .
Hope : That s the order .
Claire : I know , I get that , I do , I do , and I know that I am so , so lucky to have my family and Theo and my friends , but ... I m just definitely not doing what I love right now .
Hope : You know what , let me ask you something . Let me ask you this , okay ? Do you love -- I mean really love -- making music ? Would you be satisfied doing it for the rest of your life ?
Claire : Mm - hmm .
Hope : Even if -- I m not done yet -- even if you were nt famous ? Like in a coffee shop or the fair or the sidewalk ?
Claire : Sure , sure , but ca nt I want more than that ? I - I keep dreaming about winning a talent reality show or getting an agent . I do nt know .
Hope : You have nt answered my question , though . What if it did nt happen -- none of that happened ? Would you give up your music ?
Claire : No . No . No , I would be happy if I could just ... making a living writing songs . And singing them .
Hope : Good . Maybe you ca nt make an agent knock on your door , but you can keep working on your music . Work hard , really hard , and you know what , honey ? If that big break comes , fantastic . But if it doesnt ... at least you know in your heart that you gave it 100 % doing something that you loved .
Claire : [ Sighs ] Okay . Okay . All right . You re right , I need to stop worrying about how many hits my videos get .
Hope : I m sorry , I m sorry , what did you say about being right ?
Claire : Fine ! You re right ! You re the best -- whatever !
Hope : All right , Mozart , my little Mozart , you get back to work .
Claire : Oh , okay -- I love you .
Hope : I m glad I saw you .
Claire : Me too .
Hope : All right , sweetheart .
Claire : Bye .
Hope : Bye , honey , I ll talk to you soon -- I love you .
Claire : Love you .
Hope : Bye , honey .
Brady : I know in my gut ... that it was Deimos behind everything . Xander was working with him .
Eric : Now the only man who can testify is dead .
Brady : You know damn well that Deimos had him killed . It should be Deimos behind bars , not Nic !
Nicole : She s not . Not anymore . I m free !
Brady : You made it .
Kate : Thank you so much for seeing us . I know how busy you are . But I have a huge favor . André and I want you to marry us .
Duncan : Marry you ?
Kate : Mm - hmm . As soon as possible .
Duncan : Well , have you ever heard the one about not entering into marriage lightly ?
André : Oh , trust me , there s nothing light about this .
Duncan : What was it ... 20 minutes ago when you were over the moon about that guy Eduardo ?
Kate : Yes , well , this all happened very quickly .
André : Like appendicitis .
Kate : Oh ! [ Laughs ] The heart has reasons reason knows not of . All I can say is that André and I have known each other for so long , and then suddenly we were under the same roof , and , uh ...
André : And the strings of her heart went zing !
Kate : Rose , it would mean the world to me ... really .
Duncan : Well ... I have a lunch appointment in about a half hour . But let me check my schedule . Maybe I can squeeze you in in a couple of weeks .
Kate : Actually , we need to do it right here , right now . Please .
André : Oh , let me make an honest woman of her .
Duncan : Kate ... we need to talk . Privately .
André : I think she wants to plan your bridal shower .
Kate : Anything that you need to say to me , you can say in front of André . We have no secrets between us .
André : No , we have an open , honest relationship .
Duncan : Do you guys have a prenup ?
Kate : Oh , yes , we signed one this morning .
Duncan : So out of the blue , you wanna marry the son of your ex - husband .
André : You know , there s just something about DiMera DNA that just sings to her .
André : Oh . Well , we re not entering in the state of marriage lightly , and that ...
Both : Neither of us ...
Hope : Neither one of us ...
André : Has any reservations .
Duncan : I ll give you this : He s well - trained .
Kate : Can I talk to you ?
Kate : You know , after the honeymoon , I think we should get together for a nice , long lunch to discuss your campaign funding .
Duncan : We are gathered here today in the sight of god ... to join these two into that most sacred state ... holy matrimony .
Harold : Holy crap .
Hope : Mom ! Hey , you re early . [ Gasps ] Oh !
Nancy : Parker was eager to get here -- werent you , big guy ?
Parker : I missed you , mommy .
Chloe : Oh , I missed you so much . Holly , your brother s here . Oh , kiddo , I m so glad to see you .
Parker : Hey , holly . When is she going back to Nicole ?
Eric : I think that s great news .
Brady : It s the best news .
Eric : I think they re gon na go easy on you , too , Brady .
Nicole : You know , Chloe said you re the one that convinced her to testify for me . She changed everything . The judge as much said that she s ... the reason that I m not in prison .
Eric : I m glad it all worked out ... for you and Chloe , and especially holly .
Nicole : So thank you . But that s as far as it goes . I do nt see anything changing between us .
Brady : Hey . Hey ... look at the things he s done for you and holly , for god s sake .
Eric : No , Brady , it s fine . Just let it go . I ll leave the two of you alone .
Brady : Really ?
Brady : You know , you were just handed Chloe s cooperation as a gift , and you ca nt even find it in your heart to forgive Eric ? Really ?
Nicole : Brady , I do nt wanna talk about Eric .
Brady : He risked his life for you , Nicole . He did whatever he had to do to get you away from Xander . Then he brought you back to me , and now because he talked to Chloe , you re free .
Nicole : I know that , and I thanked him . But I ca nt be friends with him . You have to understand -- I ca nt .
Brady : We ve all made terrible mistakes .
Nicole : I do nt wanna talk about it . Today was a good day ... and I wanna be happy about what happened and what that means for us . And I think Eric s right . If I did nt have to serve time , maybe you wo nt have to either . And then we can be together the way we dreamed of in Canada .
Brady : But without the hardware store . [ Nicole laughs ] I had such plans for that hardware store -- I mean , it was gon na be the best one in north America . The best hammers , the best--
Nicole : You know what ... [ Laughs ] There s that smile I love . We are gon na be so happy together -- I know it .
Duncan : Do you promise to love , honor , cherish , and protect her ... forsaking all others , holding only on to her ?
André : Mmm . Oh , I do . [ Chuckles ]
Duncan : Kate , do you take André to be your husband ? Do you promise to love , honor , cherish , and protect him , forsaking all others , holding only on to him ?
Kate : I do . As long as the money keeps pouring in .
André : Or until I do nt feel like it anymore .
Kate : We re only kidding .
André : Yes , we kid a lot .
Duncan : Do you have the rings ?
André : No rings .
Kate : Only the one in his nose .
André : Oh !
Duncan : Well , then , by the authority vested in me by the city of Salem , I now pronounce you husband and wife . You may now--
Kate : Sign the papers , Harold .

### Dialogue:
David : Daring flight from the hospital was nearly thwarted when rookie cop Natalia Fowler opened fire on Ms. Slater s abductor as they ran for the exit .
Amanda : Kendall was in the hospital ?
David : Yeah . She was admitted yesterday . I knew something was wrong about it , too . In fact , I doubt she was even wounded in prison .
Amanda : Well , then why would they transfer her to the hospital ?
David : Obviously a ploy to help her escape , which she did . That kidnapping from Aidan was just a cover .
Amanda : I ve always had trouble believing that Kendall shot Stuart .
David : Well , you did nt see how distraught she was when she thought her son was dead , thanks to Adam . And let us not forget that she did show up at his house that day for the sole purpose of killing him . Then she tried to pin the murder on me , after I saved her life with a transplant . Now , that is gratitude .
Amanda : Well , people do desperate things for their children .
David : Yes , they do . Look at us .
Erica : Ryan -- Ryan , do nt . Please do nt . Do nt .
Ryan : Adam paid a judge to allow Annie to spend time with Emma . So I had to sit in there all night and watch the woman who s trying to pin murder on her 7-year - old little girl play loving mother all night .
Erica : Oh , Ryan . But you know what ? Maybe thrown in together like this , maybe you can get a confession out of her .
Ryan : No . Nobody can do that now , Erica .
Erica : Ryan , I refuse to believe that . There is always hope . And you are here for your little girl . Your daughter has you by her side .
Ryan : How is -- any word on Kendall ?
Erica : She s , um , she s still out there on the run . Well , I never , never should ve done this . I knew it . I knew I should nt have done this .
Ryan : What ? Done what ? What are you talking about ?
Erica : I helped break Kendall out of the hospital .
Zach : You ve kept me here all night for what ?
D.A. Willis : Kendall s whereabouts , for starters .
Zach : One more time , I do nt know where she is .
D.A. Willis : Then tell me where Aidan is .
Zach : And I do nt know where Aidan is ! I m not his keeper ! I do nt know where they ran to . I have no idea .
D.A. Willis : Well , that s a little hard to believe , Slater .
Zach : I do nt care what you believe , Willis . What do you want from me ? Hey , Jesse ? Any news on Kendall ?
Jesse : Nothing yet . But we did dig the bullet out of the hospital wall .
Zach : Well , that s great news . That means Natalia did nt hit anybody .
Jesse : We found something else in the parking lot .
Zach : What ?
Jesse : Blood . One of them was shot .
Kendall : Oh , my God , Aidan . Aidan , that -- that looks awful . We -- we have to get you some help right now . We got to get you some help .
Aidan : Kendall , Kendall -- no , hang on . No , there s no -- no calls . No -- no help . Ahh !
David : Someone keeps texting you .
Amanda : Oh , uh , it s just spam -- something about a sale . But that does remind me I need to go shopping .
David : Oh . All right . Great . Well , I ll go get Trevor , and we ll all go together .
Amanda : No . I mean , you do nt have to .
David : You must ve forgot . I took the whole day off so we can spend some quality time with our son .
Amanda : Uh , yeah . I was just gon na run out really quick .
David : Well , it s ok . Look , I do nt mind shopping . All right ? I mean , it s a nice family activity . And , hey , we can go out and enjoy the Indian summer . You know , take a long walk , and , I do nt know , end up at the Yacht Club for some lunch .
Amanda : All right . I ll go get the stroller .
David : I ll go get it . It s all right .
Amanda : No . It s ok . I -- I got it .
Zach : Whose blood ?
Jesse : Well , it s either Kendall s or Aidan s .
Zach : Well , have it typed so we know who it is .
Jesse : We re doing that now . All right ? We also --
Jesse : Hold on a second . Hubbard . I ll be right there . Excuse me .
Zach : I m going home .
D.A. Willis : Hey , where do you think you re --
Zach : Take your hands off me !
D.A. Willis : Look , another outburst like that --
Liza : Ok , you know what ? Look , my client has been cooperating with you all evening . Let him take a break , or arrest him if you think you have a case .
D.A. Willis : All right , but you re not to leave this station . Is that understood ?
Liza : Would you cool it before you do something you re gon na regret ?
Zach : Or he ll do something that he ll regret .
Liza : Oh , great . Trash - talk : That s really helpful . Look , were you in on the escape or not ?
Zach : I told you I was not .
Liza : All right . Well , before Kendall ran , you had a meeting with Willis saying you were gon na do whatever you could to protect the people that you love . What did that mean ?
Zach : When the double was stabbed , I -- I knew that somebody was gon na find out about it and this whole thing was gon na blow up in our faces .
Liza : So what were you gon na do ? You were gon na tell them that you held Kendall against her will in a secret room ? And you were gon na take the heat for yourself ?
Zach : Yeah . Well , I could nt do anything , could I ? Aidan took off with Kendall now and just --
Jesse : Just got the blood results back . Blood type was A - positive .
Zach : Kendall s O - negative . That means she s ok .
Kendall : All right , you are burning up . We have got to get you some medical attention .
Aidan : Kendall , we ca nt call anyone . Do you hear me ? We ll be arrested and then sent to prison .
Kendall : Listen , if it saves your life , I m willing to take that chance .
Aidan : Well , I m not . Ok ? I m fine . I m gon na be fine . I just -- I need some water .
Kendall : All right . Ok . We have some here . We have some here . Ok , ok , ok , ok , ok . Here , here , here . Just let me try and give this to you . All right .
Kendall : Ok ? Good ?
Aidan : Some more .
Ryan : You bailed Aidan out of jail ?
Erica : I had no idea that he was planning to break Kendall out of the hospital .
Ryan : It must ve seemed like the one chance to get free .
Erica : Well , I do nt know why . I mean , the last time I had a plane standing by for her . This whole idea with Aidan -- this is a bad idea . It s a very bad idea . I m worried sick . I know . I know you are , too .
Ryan : And we both have Annie to thank for this . We do . And now she s lying in there with Emma , and I had to stay up all night , because I just do nt know what the woman is gon na do next .
Erica : I know . You must be exhausted . Listen , why do nt you take a break ?
Ryan : I ca nt . I ca nt . I just -- you know , Emma could wake up any second . So --
Erica : Well , you remember when you insisted that I take a break , that I needed a break from New Beginnings , and you dragged me kicking and screaming to go sailing ? You were right , you know ? That s exactly what I needed .
Ryan : No , this is just a little bit different . I got to stay near Emma .
Erica : Ok , then . Why do nt you take your break right now , right here , with me ? Close your eyes . Go ahead . Imagine that you are out on that boat rocking on the water . Do it . And the sea air is on your face , and the sun is gleaming down on you with a warm smile . The water is lapping up on the boat , and the world is in its place . Are you feeling better ?
Ryan : I am , actually . But I could use some help .
Kendall : All right . Ok . At least please , please try to get some rest .
Aidan : No , Kendall , we ca nt rest . We need to get out of here . We need to get a move on .
Jake : Oh .
Amanda : Secret mission , huh ?
Jake : Mm - hmm . Martin , Jake Martin .
Jake : And I want you to know I only have an hour for lunch . And -- you re my lunch , and I did nt think that -- I had to check with anybody like David to see if I should stick to my diet or not . I m sure you understand .
Amanda : So you lured me here under duress : Escape or else ?
Jake : Hmm . I do nt know if I d call it duress , really . More my influence on you with my rather large charm factor .
Jake : I see a hayloft in our immediate future .
Amanda : Hmm . Really ?
Jesse : I hate having to hunt Kendall down like this . If I had known what you --
Zach : You did nt know . I did nt know . No one knew , Jesse . I m sorry professional duties got involved again .
Jesse : I will deal with my professional duties .
Liza : How s , um , how s Natalia doing ?
Jesse : She s ok , considering she shot somebody on her first day out . Oh , God . You know what ? I m gon na go check on her .
Liza : You must be relieved to know that it s not Kendall s blood .
Zach : Do I look relieved to you ? I m gon na be relieved when Kendall is back here .
Liza : I m just saying it took a lot of guts , that s all .
Zach : To put herself into that kind of danger ? No , the woman s gone insane .
Jake : Come on , now , Kendall . Nobody s gon na hurt you , ok ?
Kendall : I did nt run because I m guilty . I m not .
Jake : Ok . Now , I heard that you were hurt in prison and they had to send you to the hospital . Are you all right ?
Kendall : I did nt kill Stuart . I -- I escaped because I had no choice .
Jake : I believe you . Amanda believes you .
Amanda : Absolutely . You must be so scared .
Jake : Now , I -- you know , I ve helped you before , remember , to try to get away , and I m willing to help you again . We both are .
Amanda : Kendall , we re on your side .
Jake : Ok , so can you -- can you put the gun down ?
Kendall : You guys , we have to help Aidan . Aidan -- he s right here . He s hurt really bad . Please help him , please .
Jake : Hey . Here we go , let s see what we got here . Let s see .
Zach : Would nt listen to me . Just took off on her own .
Liza : Well , at least she s got Aidan to lean on .
Zach : Yeah -- nearly got her killed .
Liza : Look , he took a bullet for her , remember ?
Zach : And now she s running with a wounded man . It s only a matter of time before they pick them up .
Jake : Well , your pulse is a little fast , but --
Jake : I actually think that this is gone all the way through .
Aidan : Listen -- agh .
Jake : All right , I m sorry .
Aidan : No hospitals , Jake . No police .
Jake : Honey , will you go up to the house and get whatever you can find ? Meds , alcohol , any sort of bandages , ok ?
Amanda : Ok .
Jake : I got to do this .
Jake : All right .
Zach : I should go talk to Willis .
Liza : Right . Then you both go to prison . It was the reason why Kendall escaped in the first place .
Zach : Do nt tell me how to handle this .
Liza : Ohh . Well , somebody s got to protect you from yourself .
Zach : The last thing I need right now is --
Liza : Is a rational , objective friend .
Zach : Ok , friend . You re fired .
Liza : Ok , fine . I ve been trying to quit now for a month . I m going home .
Zach : All right , tell your family I said Hi .
Liza : Yeah , and your family , too ? You forget I got Ian ? Hey , that s ok . I ll keep him as long as you need me to . But just think long and hard about that little boy before you go off and make your confession .
David : Well , that took a long time . Did you get the stroller ?
Amanda : Uh , I -- I ca nt find it . It s not in the car . It s not in the garage , around back . I took Trevor for a walk in the backyard yesterday , so I thought for sure that s where it would be . But I have no idea where it is .
Amanda : Oh . Oh , he s up now . Would you mind getting him ready for the walk ? And actually , he s probably ready for a change . If you do nt mind , change his diaper .
David : I , um --
Amanda : Please ?
David : All right . Sure . No problem .
Amanda : Thank you . I ll keep looking for the stroller . Maybe it s around the side .
D.A. Willis : The chief has convinced me that I have to release you . But if I were you , I d play ball now , or it ll be a lot harder for you later on .
Zach : I got nothing , Willis .
Jesse : Well , I hope you find Kendall before anybody else does . It s a high- profile case , Zach . U.S. Marshal has now been brought in on the manhunt .
Zach : What do we do about that ?
Jesse : Well , I can make sure my men do nt hurt either one of them . But U.S. Marshall ? I got no control over them .
Aidan : Ow .
Jake : Well , the good news is there s no bullet here , but the bad news is I m pretty sure this is infected .
Aidan : Where the hell is Amanda ?
Kendall : I m sure she s hurrying .
Aidan : Look I need to get patched up now , and we need to get on the road .
Jake : Up .
TV newsman : The forecast , showers and thunderstorms today with strong southwesterly --
Liza : Shh , shh .
Liza : Colby ? Where s Colby ?
Bailey : Oh , she took Ian away for a few minutes to get away from all the noise .
Liza : What s the problem ?
Bailey : I do nt know . He s been like this all night . I mean , I ve tried music and rocking him and toys . Nothing works .
Liza : Come here . Come here , little guy . Oh , that s it . What s the matter , baby ? What s wrong , huh ? Do nt you like our new place ? Shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh .
Liza : Yeah . There you go .
Bailey : That is so not fair .
Liza : Aw . Well , look , he s still getting used to you .
Bailey : I m his mom .
Liza : Yeah , well , you know , he s also -- he s growing a few new teeth .
Bailey : I am so bad at this !
Liza : Oh , come here . It s ok . It s all right . There . Yeah . See ?
Annie : It s so hard being a mother . I heard about Kendall s escape .
Erica : What ? I have no idea what you re talking about .
Annie : Hmm . You must be worried . You , too , Ryan . I mean , I know how much Kendall means to the both of you .
Erica : You know something . It has been a really , really long night . Why do nt you come with me to the vending machine , have some coffee ? I think we could all use some coffee , ok ? My treat .
Annie : All right .
Erica : Good . Listen , enjoy your private time with Emma . I ll keep the demon occupied .
Ryan : Thank you .
Jake : These are nt really the right antibiotics for this kind of wound , but they ll do for the moment .
Aidan : Thanks .
Jake : It s all right .
Aidan : We need to get out of here .
Jake : Wait . Whoa . I think you need to just take a deep breath , maybe eat something , get your strength back . Otherwise , you re not gon na get too far . Trust me .
Amanda : There s some food in the stable fridge . I ll go get it .
Kendall : Jake , can I talk to you for a second ?
Jake : Sure .
Kendall : I -- I need to ask you one more favor . I need you to please find Zach , but do nt tell him where we are .
Jake : I can do that .
Kendall : Swear you wo nt give us away ?
Jake : I swear .
Kendall : Thank you . I -- I wrote him a letter . I need you to please , please deliver this to him .
Jake : All right .
Kendall : He has to read this . He has to understand .
Annie : Hospital coffee s always so bad , but at least this is hot .
Erica : Yes -- scalding hot .
Annie : Listen , Erica , I know that you hate me , but I was thinking that maybe just for a few minutes we could talk mother to mother .
Erica : I suppose under some definitions that would apply .
Annie : I was looking for some advice . I know that you sat by Kendall s bedside for months waiting for her to wake up . I was wondering what you think I can do to help get Emma through this .
Erica : Well , first , you d have to actually love her .
Zach : Any news ? I guess you heard about Kendall ?
Ryan : I m kind of surprised you did nt run with her .
Zach : Was nt my idea . She did it all on her own .
Ryan : Why ? Was it to keep you out of prison ?
Zach : I do nt know why . It does nt really matter now . What matters is that she s out there running , hiding , with Aidan . He s shot . He ca nt even protect her .
Ryan : So you want me to take Ian while you go after her ? Then I guess if you find her before the cops do , then you will run with her ?
Zach : I ll get in touch with you , all right ?
Ryan : After the publicity dies down a little bit , you want me to figure out a way to get Ian to you ? No . Not gon na happen .
Zach : It s not gon na happen ? Do it for Kendall . Do it for Ian .
Ryan : If you re both on the run , you re both like moving targets , all right ? She s a convicted murderer , you will become her accomplice . The cops take you both down , and then Ian is an orphan and Spike is motherless .
Zach : Well , that s not gon na happen . I know how to disappear .
Ryan : Look , I hate that Kendall put herself in danger like this . But I am not gon na help Ian s father do the same thing .
Zach : I do nt like it either , but I do nt have a choice .
Ryan : Yeah , you do have a choice . Look , she just probably panicked . Kendall panicked , she got an idea in her head , and she just went with it .
Zach : Yeah , she went with it , with Aidan . After everything , why Aidan ?
Ryan : Why me ? Why -- why you coming to me ?
Zach : Because if we do nt fix this , I m gon na lose my wife , and you might lose your daughter .
Jake : Hey . I ve been looking all over the place for you . Can I talk to you for a second in private ?
Zach : About what ?
Jake : Just go with me on this .
Annie : I should ve known you would nt get past yourself , even to help my little girl .
Erica : Oh , I am helping Ryan s little girl . Careful . Oh , I would nt want to spill anything this hot on that sensitive skin .
Annie : You know , you really have some nerve , lecturing me on being a loving mother ? Like you have nt made mistakes with your children ?
Erica : Oh , I ve made mistakes . But the difference between you and me is that I ve learned from them . Always put my children first : You would never do that .
Annie : Oh , you put Kendall first ? Like when she went to prison and you grabbed her ex - lover ? Oh , yes , Erica . You re really a great all - around mother .
Bailey : Have you ever seen a mother as lame as me ?
Liza : Oh , come on . Do nt be so hard on yourself . These things take time . You should ve seen me when I first had Colby .
Bailey : Why are you doing this , Liza ? Why are you being so nice to me ?
Liza : Because you re his birth mother , and you want to spend time with him .
Bailey : Yeah , but I do nt get it . I mean , when I first got here , you lied to keep us apart . Now you re letting me stay with you ? You re giving me mothering tips ? Why do nt you want to get rid of me ?
Liza : I do . Really , from the first day that you came here . But the reason that I m not is for Stuart . You know , I love him so much . I really want to do what s best for him .
Bailey : And you think that s bringing me back into his life ?
Liza : Honestly , I do nt know . I do nt know how this one is gon na play out . But , uh , I m just gon na see where it goes .
Liza : Well , sounds like it s time for another bottle .
Bailey : Guess you better go feed him .
Liza : Why do nt you give it another try ?
Amanda : Annie killed Stuart ?
Kendall : Yes . Just like she killed Richie . She s trying to get away with this one , too .
Amanda : But if you run now , you re going to look so guilty . And you wo nt have a chance to tell anyone that you realized you did nt do it .
Kendall : Zach and Ryan will nail Annie , and then I ll be able to come home .
Amanda : Why do nt you want Zach to know where you are ?
Kendall : Because he ll come after me , and I ca nt have that . Zach ca nt protect me now . I have to protect him .
Zach : What s so important ?
Jake : I -- I was just with Kendall and Aidan .
Zach : Where is she ?
Jake : She asked me not to tell you that .
Zach : Where is my wife ?
Jake : She s not where I just left her .
Kendall s voice : Dear Zach , I know you re worried and angry about what I ve done , but I could nt let you go to prison . Please trust me . Trust that I have the strength and courage to do this and to survive this for us . Our love has given me that strength . Remember what you told me in the hospital : To trust our love ? I am trusting it , and now I need you to . I promise I will find my way back to you . Until then , I beg you not to come after me . You have to be there for the boys , and you have to get Annie . I know you will because you promised me it would work this time , and it will . I love you . Kendall .
Zach : Yeah ?
Jesse : Hey , we got a lead on Kendall .
Bailey : Ok . Ok , come on , Stuey . You can do it . Come on . Come on .
Liza : Hmm . Sometimes if you just rub the nipple over his lips , he ll take it .
Bailey : Oh .
Liza : Yeah , you want that ?
Bailey : No ?
Liza : Not so much ? Here . How about this ?
Bailey : Ohh . How s that ? You like that Mr. Giraffe ? That s the smile I ve been looking for . Here you go . He got so quiet . It s amazing . It s like he s memorizing my face .
Liza : Yeah , he s , uh , he s a pretty amazing little guy .
Bailey : Yeah , he is .
Erica : You re always trying to turn the tables , are nt you ? Always trying to deflect the focus of your own twisted games .
Annie : I just hold up a mirror , Erica -- what you see is what you are .
Erica : Oh , I know who I am . You re the one who needs to take a good long , hard look in the mirror , Annie .
Annie : Ok , you know what ? This is getting boring .
Erica : Oh , I m sorry . Did I remind you of all the damage you ve caused ?
Annie : I am not responsible for what happens to people who try to hurt me . Self - defense is no crime .
Erica : You have committed so many crimes that I ca nt even keep count . But the one that s really gon na burn a hole in your soul is what you re doing to Emma .
Annie : No . The real crime here is hearing that sweet girl s name coming out of your vicious lips !
Erica : Oh , I see . Here is the Annie we ve all come to know and -- whatever . You think this coffee is hot ? Just wait till you get a taste of hell .
Ryan : I know you can hear me , Ems . I know you can . I know you can hear me . Which means you can hear how much I love you . I love you so much . You can hear how badly I want you to wake up so we can laugh . We can play . We can play . You can play with all your animals . You can play with Spike . You can go to the park . Come on , Ems , you got to wake up . You got to wake up .
Ryan : How was your , um -- how was your coffee break with Annie ?
Erica : It was exhausting but oddly satisfying .
Ryan : Zach was here .
Erica : Has he heard anything more about Kendall ?
Ryan : No , he has nt . He has no idea where she could be either . He has no idea .
Erica : Ok , you know what ? I m going down to the police station . I m going to see what I can find out . Ok ?
Ryan : I m sure Jesse s got every man he s got on this .
Erica : Ok .
Ryan : Take care of yourself , ok ?
Erica : And you try and get some rest , ok ?
Jesse : Ok . Bertolli !
Zach : What you got ?
Jesse : Police chopper spotted a blue car behind Wildwind under some trees .
Zach : A blue car ? That s it ? Aidan s car is nt blue .
Jesse : Well , the getaway car was blue . I m gon na go check it out myself now . You coming ?
Zach : No . Let them get away .
Amanda : You definitely look good .
Aidan : Yeah , I m good to go . You ?
Kendall : Yeah . Yeah , I m ready .
Aidan : I m just gon na get some water and some food , and then we ll head out .
Kendall : Ok . Amanda , I ca nt thank you enough . Thank you for everything , for all of your help .
Amanda : I just wish I could do more . Hey , I ll get some blankets for you guys to take on the way .
Kendall : Ok . Thanks .
David : What the hell are you doing here ? Agh ! Ohh --
Kendall : Oh , my God . Is he dead ? !
Aidan : What happened ?
Amanda : Run . Just go ! You guys , run !
Aidan : Kendall , quick . Come on , let s go . Come on .
Kendall : Thank you , Amanda .
Bailey : He s finally asleep , I think .
Liza : Well , this is the time when a smart mom tries to catch her own winks . Hmm ?
Bailey : Oh , it s my mom . I ll call her back later .
Liza : So does -- do they know where you are now ?
Bailey : Yeah .
Liza : So how do your folks feel about all of this ?
Bailey : I guess I kind of exaggerated when I said they forced me into the adoption . Ok , I exaggerated a lot .
Liza : They did nt -- they did nt force you to give the baby up ?
Bailey : They said it was up to me . But the thing is I wanted them to make the decision . I did nt want it to be up to me .
Liza : I mean , yeah , it s -- it s quite a responsibility .
Bailey : I did nt want to take control of my own life , forget about my baby s . It just happened so fast , way too fast . So I just let him go . I tried to be ok with that at first . I just tried to put it out of my head . But I was nt ok . I had this little guy growing inside of me for so long , you know , and I learned all of his moves . And then he was gone . And there was this empty feeling that would nt go away , no matter what -- no matter what I did . Like my insides were hollow , and they were never gon na be full again .
Liza : Hey . Come here .
Liza : It s ok . It s ok .
Annie : Any change ? I suppose Erica gave you a complete blow - by - blow how she tried to humiliate me ? Not that I really care .
Ryan : I m gon na go check with Emma s doctors and see if any of the test results are back .
Annie : Let me know if you find out anything .
Ryan : Let me be real clear about this . I m gon na be right down the hall . I ll have a perfect view of the door here to this room . So do nt think you can get away with anything .
Annie : If you re insinuating I might try to kidnap Emma , trust me , Ryan , I do nt have to . She s already mine .
Annie : It s just you and me now , baby . Everything s going to be ok .
Emma : Mommy , can I open my eyes now ?

### Dialogue:
Bo : Hey , Billie . What are you doing here ?
Billie : Hey .
Bo : Something wrong ?
Billie : Oh , I just visited Jack .
Bo : How s he doing ?
Billie : Not too good . They re not sure if he s responding to the trial drugs .
Bo : Yeah . It s got to be difficult for Jen and the kids and Frankie .
Billie : Yeah . What about you ? What are you doing here ?
Bo : Oh , I came to pick up some prenatals for Hope .
Billie : So , are you guys back together ?
Bo : No , no . We -- the pharmacy left a message on my cell by mistake , and I thought instead of having her run all the way down here , I d take them out to her .
Billie : What happened ?
Bo : She does nt want to talk to me .
Billie : You re not giving up , are you ?
Patrick : All right , well , kitchen sink is as good as new . Anything else you want fixed ?
Hope : I m sure I could think of something . Of course , I have nt seen the bill yet .
Patrick : Hmm , yeah , well , let s see . For you ... free of charge .
Hope : Thank you . You re the best .
Patrick : I m glad you called me . You know , sooner or later , we re going to have to talk about this . You re having my baby . What are we gon na do about that ?
Carrie : I decided to marry Lucas because I wanted a baby of my own . I let myself think that it was a sign that Austin and I were nt meant to be . I wanted it so badly that I even had morning sickness when I was nt even pregnant . I was stupid . How selfish . Look how many people s lives I ve affected when I ca nt even have a baby at all .
Lexie : Carrie , there is a small chance .
Carrie : You said there was less than 1 % .
Lexie : Well , yeah . Are you worried about your marriage ?
Carrie : Lucas wo nt abandon me , if that s what you re asking . But he was so excited about being a father again . If I had known , I never would have put him through this . I never would have married him .
Lexie : Oh , Carrie .
Carrie : I ve made such a mess of everything .
Sami : That ring is perfect .
Austin : It s the one you wanted .
Sami : I know . I know , but --
Austin : But what ?
Sami : I ca nt accept it .
Austin : Ca nt accept it ? Sami , what are you talking about ? I proposed to you weeks ago . You said yes .
Sami : I know . But I ca nt take the ring , Austin . It s too expensive .
Austin : You knew how much it cost when we looked at it .
Sami : You re right , but I never thought you were really gon na get it for me . I mean , I like the Taj Mahal , but I do nt expect to live there .
Austin : Well , that s great , because I did nt buy it .
Sami : Oh , God , Austin , I m so selfish . Why do you even love me ?
Austin : Well , I can give you a couple of reasons .
Sami : What about our company , Austin ? You ca nt afford a ring like this . We should be spending it on the company , right ? I mean , I d be happy with anything .
Austin : I want you to have what you want . You were very clear at the jeweler s . You picked this one . That s what I love about you . You re decisive . Okay . I m gon na try this again . Sami , you have been disappointed so many times in your life , but that is all in the past . From now on , I would find it my pleasure to give you all that s in my power to give . I want to be your husband now and forever . Will you be my wife ?
Sami : Yes . Yes , of course I will be , Austin .
Austin : Whew . Okay .
Like sands through the hourglass , so are the Days of our Lives .
Lexie : Carrie , I ve seen you and Lucas together . It looks to me like you have the real thing . And love can carry us through so many of life s hardships .
Carrie : I do love Lucas , but ... [ Sighs ] I feel so awful saying this . It s not the same kind of love that I feel for Austin . Austin wanted to marry me , Lexie . I wanted it , too . It s what my heart wanted more than anything . When you told me that Austin and I could nt have healthy children together , I did nt know what to do . Lucas loves me , too , and my biological clock was ticking louder and louder . So , I chose the family with Lucas over my love for Austin . Now that I know that I ca nt have children with anybody ... oh , God . If I had known that I could nt have children of my own , I would have married Austin . I feel like I m the worst person in the world .
Lexie : No , Carrie , you are not a bad person . You were just confused . [ Sighs ] Carrie ... it was nt your fault .
Austin : Okay . Okay , all right , I hate to break up this moment , but I do have to go downstairs and -- dinner , dessert , all that stuff . Open up another bottle of champagne . And , you guys , let s get this party started , right ? Okay . Whoo ! I ll be right back .
Sami : Go ahead , say it . I m a coward .
E.J. : Understandable , I think . You have cold feet about telling the man you love that you re not quite as reformed as he thinks .
Sami : Then you agree with me , right , that I ca nt tell Austin the truth ? I mean , look at this night , I mean , everything he did . I ca nt ruin his happiness .
E.J. : Samantha , he s happy because he trusts in your love . And you need to come clean if he s gon na keep trusting in your love . You need to tell him before somebody else does .
Hope : I m gon na make some tea .
Patrick : Whoa , whoa , I think we can discuss the situation without tea , do nt you ?
Hope : I guess I m a little nervous .
Patrick : Yeah . I do nt know why that would be . I mean , you re having a baby . I m the father . You re married to someone else . There s no problem there . It s a piece of cake .
Hope : I do nt know . For the first time in my life , I do nt quite know what to say . Is nt that ridiculous ?
Patrick : Well , then , let me start . The bottom line is , I want to be involved in this child s life , if you ll let me .
Hope : Of course . I m not gon na change my mind about that .
Patrick : Thanks . That means a lot . You ve known this forever , Hope , but Bo is the third side of this triangle , you know ? And if you want to work on your marriage --
Hope : Patrick -- Patrick ... I do nt know what I want . [ Cellphone rings ]
Patrick : Oh . Excuse me . I need to take this . Hello ?
Mimi : Patrick , I need you .
Patrick : Mimi , what s wrong ? Where are you ?
Mimi : At the trauma center .
Patrick : All right , I ll be right there . It s my sister .
Hope : Is something wrong ?
Patrick : I do nt know . I hope not . Look , I ll talk to you . Look , I m here for you , okay ? Whatever you want , Hope . Just remember that .
Hope : I know , and I appreciate it . Thank you , Patrick .
Patrick : Okay , I ll talk to you soon .
Bo : You know , there have been times over the last few months I ve wondered what I m trying to hold on to with Hope . Is it the past or k we ve got a future together ?
Billie : What d you come up with ?
Bo : Well , I want her . I want us , but it s not gon na be the same , you know , for a lot of reasons ... Zack , Chelsea , and she just happens to be having some other guy s baby . You know , that s it right there . Even though this baby is nt mine , I still want to be her husband . But the thing is , she does nt want me .
Billie : Yes , she does . Yes , she does . We both know she does . She s just angry . She s upset . She s stubborn . But you can be just as stubborn as she can be , so you have to convince her to listen to her heart because she knows deep down inside that she would be crazy to turn her back on you .
Bo : Yeah , I do nt know about that . But I am gon na do everything I can to be there for her , help her out , let her know that I m there for her . You know , it s true what they say . When you lose something , it really shows you how much it means to you . And I miss Hope . You know that ache you get in your heart ?
Billie : Yeah , I ve been there .
Bo : I m sorry . I keep sticking my foot in my mouth .
Billie : No , no , no . Come on . Stop it . You got a lot on your plate right now , and you love Hope . And I understand . But I m also your friend , Bo . And you have been a better friend to me than I even deserve , so if there is anything I can do to help you get Hope back , you just have to ask .
Bo : Billie --
Billie : No , that s what friends are for , right ?
Patrick : Mimi , what s the problem ?
Mimi : Everything . I m going to lose Shawn .
E.J. : Dazzling . Almost blinding , is nt it ?
Sami : E.J. , please understand . This is everything I have ever wanted . I have come so close so many times . I have walked down the aisle . I have stood at that altar . I ve even gotten through the vows a couple of times . But I either get walked out on or the marriage is annulled . I am a joke in this town .
E.J. : Oh , come on , Samantha . I do nt believe that .
Sami : Believe it . But it is gon na be different this time . This is the third time that I m trying to marry Austin after -- and you know what they say about the third time , right ?
E.J. : Bad luck runs in threes ?
Sami : Third time s the charm .
E.J. : Right .
Sami : Look , this ring makes everything different , E.J. It makes it real . So , I have to ask you to let us unpostpone the wedding .
E.J. : You re kidding , right ?
Sami : No . You re my friend , and you said you wanted to help me . Well , this is how you can help me . You wanted us to postpone the wedding so we would focus on you and your account . And I promise I will . I will give you 100 % . I will be your personal slave if you would just let us get married right now . We had what , like a dozen conversations about this and you re deciding now that , you know , I m not gon na tell Austin the truth ?
Sami : E.J. , I ca nt tell him the truth . He will never forgive me . If someone else does it , that s different . If someone else tells him the truth , then I can blame them and I can live with that . But if I do this to myself , I honestly -- I do nt think I could live with myself .
E.J. : You re actually serious , are nt you ?
Sami : I am completely serious . E.J. , once we re married , it ll be different . Austin wo nt want to get divorced , and there could even be a baby on the way .
E.J. : Oh , Samantha .
Sami : Please understand . I am not telling Austin that I lied to him . And you ca nt tell him , either . I need you to swear . Swear to me that you wo nt tell him . Swear it on your mother s life .
Austin : Okay . Brown at 375 for an hour . 15 minutes to go . Asparagus is chilling . Chilling asparagus , and we have dessert . Aha . Lileatin
Austin : I hope you appreciate all the hard work I put into making this pie .
Carrie : Oh , I do . Turning the oven knob takes great upper - body strength .
Austin : And dexterity .
Carrie : Right .
Austin : Well , and here I thought I fooled you into thinking that I baked it myself .
Carrie : When you can buy a pie this good , why spend time baking , especially when there are other more fun things you could be doing with your time ? Where is that whipped cream ?
Austin : It is the spray kind in a can .
Carrie : It better be . Give that . Okay , come here .
Austin : And what is this for ?
Carrie : Uh - huh . This is to make your lips softer .
Austin : Uh - huh . And why would I want to do that ?
Carrie : In case anyone wants to kiss you . But it better be me .
Billie : Austin ...
Austin : Hey .
Billie : Hey .
Austin : Hey .
Billie : What s going on ? I knocked twice .
Austin : I m sorry . I m sorry .
Billie : What s going on ? What s cooking ?
Austin : I am making dinner for Sami . [ Clears throat ]
Billie : And what were you dreaming about ?
Austin : Sami
Billie : Come on , Austin . Hello ! You may be cooking dinner for Sami , but you re thinking about Carrie , are nt you ?
Lexie : Carrie -- [ Cellphone beeps ]
Carrie : Check your message . It might be important .
Lexie : So is what I have to tell you .
Carrie : I can wait 30 seconds .
Lexie : Okay . It s a text message .
Carrie : Is it bad news ? Do nt do it . Do nt do what ?
Lexie : Uh ...
Carrie : Lexie . Hey , I m worried about you .
Bo : Hi . Bo Brady . I used to live here .
Hope : Bo ...
Bo : I ve got a reason for stopping by . I ve got your prenatal vitamins . The pharmacy called my cell by mistake , and I thought I d save you the trouble .
Hope : Thank you . You did nt have to do this . I could have picked them up myself .
Bo : Yeah , I know . I just wanted to stop by . I miss being with you ... being us . Hope , you got to give me another chance .
Mimi : [ Sighs ]
Patrick : Mimi , come on . Calm down . I know this whole in vitro mix - up is a horrible thing to go through , but it s gon na be okay .
Mimi : No , it s not , Patrick . Belle is having my husband s baby , not me -- Belle -- the girl he loved practically his whole life .
Patrick : Look , ca nt you have some faith in the guy you married ?
Mimi : I m trying , but after what I heard between Belle and Shawn today , I might as well pack my bags and get out of town . My life with Shawn is over .
Austin : [ Scoffs ] What makes you think I m dreaming about Carrie ?
Billie : Because the last time I saw you with that little googly - eyed look on your face , you were with her . And that s the look that you just had .
Austin : You are so wrong . I m in love with Sami . And you know , in case you ve already forgotten , Carrie is married to our brother , so do not cause trouble .
Billie : I m not trying to make any trouble . Just be straight with me , Austin .
Austin : [ Sighs ] You know what ? I will tell you the truth . Yeah , I m worried about her . Do you know about the fire ?
Billie : What ? What fire ?
Austin : Last night , after I saw you , when you left , I looked up , and Lucas apartment was on fire .
Billie : Oh , my God ! Was anybody hurt ?
Austin : Carrie was . She had smoke inhalation , and she was unconscious the whole way in the ambulance .
Billie : Lucas must have been terrified .
Austin : We all were .
Billie : Is she okay now ?
Austin : Well , she got released , but Lexie said she wanted to see her and Lucas tonight at the hospital . I do nt know . I mean , I just hope the smoke did nt hurt the baby . So , I am worried .
Billie : Yeah , I can see that . But actually , I m here because I m worried about you .
Austin : Billie , I ve got a lot going on right now . I ve got a business on the verge of , like , huge success . A beautiful woman just accepted my proposal . Everything is great .
Billie : Listen , Austin , I have a feeling it s the wrong beautiful woman , okay ? I know what you told me last night , but you are not fooling anybody , including me and not even yourself .
Austin : Hey . Hey .
Billie : Be honest with me . Tell me the truth . You told me that you were still in love with Carrie and that you always would love her . So , do you really think it s a good idea to marry Sami ?
E.J. : You want me to swear on my mother s life . How do you even know I have a mother ?
Sami : Everybody has a mother , E.J.
E.J. : That does nt necessarily mean that she s either alive or in my life .
Sami : I m sorry .
E.J. : Yeah , well , do nt be . Speaking hypothetically , you know ? I just think , Samantha , that sometimes you need to think before you speak . Then again , of course , sometimes you think too much , like this thing with Austin . You ve been going backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards .
Sami : I m backwards now . I m staying here . I m not gon na tell Austin the truth . And you have to promise me that you wo nt tell him my secret , either .
E.J. : I do nt know your secret , Sami .
Sami : You know I m keeping one , and that s enough . E.J. , Please . Please promise me . I m begging you .
E.J. : You re begging me .
Sami : Begging . I thought about it before I said it , and I meant it . I ll do anything .
E.J. : I really do nt know if begging needs to be part of your strategy , so I m a little bit more concerned with what exactly you would do to me if I did tell Austin , say .
Sami : Believe me , you do nt want to find out . Please . E.J. , please just be my friend . Please . Be a pal . Come on .
E.J. : You do nt want to find out . Be a pal , E.J. Right . Okay . You know what ? If I was any real friend to you , I d go and tell Austin the truth right now and force you to be honest with him , but you know what ? You can have it your way .
Sami : Thank you . Let me explain something to you , E.J. , so maybe you can understand . Look at these initials .
E.J. : Lucas and Carrie .
Sami : And these ?
E.J. : Carrie and Austin .
Sami : My sister has her initials carved all over this town .
E.J. : And you do nt ?
Sami : That s right . I do nt .
E.J. : And this bothers you ?
Sami : Yeah , it bothers me a lot . I ve spent my whole life living in my perfect sister s shadow . And say what you want , all right ? I said it about myself . If it makes me stuck as a 15-year - old , it makes sense cause that s when everything changed .
E.J. : What do you mean ?
Sami : I lost my mom when I was very young . She was taken from us . And then a miracle happened and she came back when I was 15 .
E.J. : That s wonderful .
Sami : It was . And I - I thought my whole life was gon na be perfect from then on . But of course I was wrong . My parents ended up getting divorced , and everything else sort of spiraled from there . But for a couple months when I was 15 , I could nt have been happier . I had a great relationship with my sister , and my mom and dad were together and happy . I was the happiest I ve ever been . And that s when I met Austin . Austin makes me feel safe and secure and loved . And that is all I have ever wanted . Anyway , I m sorry for putting all that on you . I just ...
E.J. : I m glad you told me . That explains a lot .
Sami : That s why I ca nt tell Austin the truth . E.J. , I ca nt lose him .
Lexie : Uh , oh , uh , that . Um ... one of the nurses and I have given up caffeine , and we re using the buddy system . And she knows that I have the worst coffee cravings about right now .
Carrie : Oh .
Lexie : Yeah .
Carrie : Yeah , me too . Looks like I gave it up for no reason .
Lexie : Oh .
Carrie : I still ca nt believe this is happening . So , what were you gon na tell me ?
Lexie : Um ... Carrie , you know , I really do nt think I should be getting involved in your personal decisions .
Carrie : Please , Lexie . I could use some advice .
Lexie : [ Sighs ] Um , okay , um ... all right . Well , just take it from someone who is going through a divorce right now . You need to let go of what might have been and give Lucas a chance . He loves you so much , Carrie . If after a year or so , you feel anything for Austin and your love for Lucas has nt deepened , well , then maybe you should see a counselor . And if that does nt do the trick , then and only then should you see a lawyer . But work on your marriage , Carrie . You know , I wish Abe would give me that chance .
Hope : It s not as easy as you want it to be , Bo -- not for me .
Bo : Look , Hope --
Hope : Not after everything that has happened in the past few months .
Bo : What do you want ? Just tell me . I ll do anything . What ? What is it ?
Hope : I want what I do nt have , what I can never have again . I want to see Zack coming down those stairs , running into my arms , asking me , mommy , read me another book .. And of course I would say , of course . How many books do you want mommy to read you ?
Bo : I m sorry , Fancy Face . I ... I would give anything . I d give my life to bring him back .
Hope : You ca nt rewrite history .
Bo : No . You know , I have the same nightmare every night -- just going over that horrible night and you know , trying to change the outcome . You got to know I want that more than anything .
Hope : I know that you love Zack . I know that . But when Chelsea came into our lives , you chose her over me , over our sons . And all the problems that Shawn was having -- you turned your back on your son .
Bo : No , Hope , I did nt . I did what I thought was best .
Hope : No .
Bo : I thought he needed tough love .
Hope : What he needed was you . He needed you , his father , for advice , for a shoulder to cry on . But you felt that your daughter and Billie , they needed you more .
Bo : Hope , I do nt love -- [ Sighs ] I have loved one woman . I have needed one woman . And it s always been you -- always . I will live the rest of my life being the best husband I can be to you and the best father I can be to this baby .
Hope : If it was only that simple .
Bo : It does nt matter that I m not this baby s father .
Hope : Oh , Bo , come on . Are you going to tell me you wo nt resent that ? You ve always hated Patrick .
Bo : Yes , Hope , that s true . But like you said , we ca nt change history . All we can do is move forward and create the best , the happiest family we can create . Now , that may seem impossible to you , but I believe in us and our love . And I think we can do it .
Hope : And what about Patrick ? I need to do what s right for this baby that I m carrying , and that means having his biological father in his or her life . Bo , honestly ... are you gon na be able to handle that ?
Patrick : All right , Mimi , look . Try to calm down , okay ? Just tell me what you heard Shawn and Belle say today .
Mimi : Oh , I want to rip her face off just thinking about it .
Patrick : Mimi , come on .
Mimi : She told Shawn she s happy she s having his baby . Bitch , right ? Here Philip and I are , hysterical about having a baby with each other . We do nt love each other . I do nt want a kid who looks like Philip . Philip does nt want a kid who looks like me . We want children with the people we married . But Belle and Shawn , they re totally bonding over the whole thing . Shawn s being protective about keeping Belle safe because she s having his baby . It s driving me crazy . And she just got pregnant . I do nt think I could handle nine months of this . And the way Shawn looked at her today , it was right there in his eyes . He still loves her . My worst nightmare is coming true .
Patrick : Shawn married you . He loves you .
Mimi : Maybe . But now he s got the best reason in the world to be with Belle .
Austin : Okay . I am gon na say this one more time . And then I would appreciate it if we left the subject alone from now on .
Billie : Look , I m not trying to cause trouble , okay ?
Austin : Well , you are , okay ? You know exactly what I m gon na say . I love Carrie . I always have . But we both know she s with our brother now . She chose him . Was I surprised ? Hell , yeah . All right ? You know , sometimes I still ca nt believe it . But she s made her decision . She s gon na have his baby . You know , I got to move on . I m out of the picture . I ve got to move on . Samantha s got to move on . What are we supposed to do , live in limbo for the rest of our lives ? I do nt understand . What s the alternative ?
Billie : Hey , I m all about moving on , trust me . But does it have to be with Sami ?
Austin : You re really starting to sound like mom . Are we gon na have this conversation every day from now on ?
Billie : Listen to me , Austin . Listen to me . Bo moved on with me when he thought Hope was dead , but he still loved her and he always will . And how do you think that worked out for me ? Listen , if you really love Sami -- which personally , I do nt think you do . But you like her a whole hell of a lot , and I can see how you could confuse that with love . But do nt marry her on the rebound when you re not 100 % sure and when your heart still belongs to somebody else because it is not fair to either one of you . And Sami s a fragile person . And when she gets hurt , she lashes out and hurts the whole world .
Austin : I m not gon na hurt her , Billie . And she is not going to hurt me . Now ... would you please join us for dinner ?
Billie : Why do I sense there s an ulterior motive ?
Austin : No ulterior motive , you know ? It s just we re family . We should all learn to get along . E.J. s gon na be there .
Billie : Aha . I knew there was something . I knew it . Listen , thank you very much . It s very sweet of you . And I love you . But , no , thanks .
Austin : Well , hey , wait a second . What are you afraid of ? Do you want to live in limbo the rest of your life , too ?
Billie : I am not interested in E.J. Wells . I m going to take my sweet time finding the right partner . And I think you should do the same .
Carrie : You re right , Lexie . Love is nt the only thing that matters in life . Honor is important , too -- maybe more important . And Austin s getting ready to marry my sister . I d be incredibly selfish if I was to mess that up after all the heartbreak that she s been through . And I do -- I owe it to Lucas to work on our marriage . I do care about him . It s just it s not the kind of love that I feel for Austin . But it has to be enough to work things out .
Lexie : Mm - hmm .
E.J. : You could have any man you wanted . Are you sure Austin is the man of your dreams ?
Sami : Since I was a teenager .
E.J. : Then tell him the truth . You need to get his forgiveness , Sami . Then you can at least start your marriage with a clean slate .
Sami : I m sorry . I do nt have the nerve .
E.J. : You re selling yourself short . You ve been through this with Austin before . You can go through it again . Samantha , if it does nt work out , you know there s going to be a whole line of men queuing up to take you out .
Bo : As long as you and I are together , I can handle anything , including Lockhart being a hands - on dad .
Hope : You say that --
Bo : I mean it , Hope . How else could I say it ?
Hope : I do nt know . But the biggest problem you and I have is nt Patrick .. It s not even Chelsea . It s you . I do nt trust you anymore . So , what would it take ? I - I - I do nt know what it would take for me to trust you .
Bo : Come on . There s got to be something I can do .
Hope : Prove to me you did nt tamper with the evidence that kept Chelsea out of jail . Then , okay , maybe we can try to work on rebuilding our marriage .
Patrick : I know a little something about this , Mimi . Hope s pregnant with my child , and we have nt even talked about our future together . I mean , I m pretty sure she still loves Bo .
Mimi : But she loves you , too , does nt she ?
Patrick : I love her . It s complicated . And even though she s pregnant with my baby , it does nt mean we ll be together . It does nt mean we wo nt , either , but there s nothing sure about it .
Mimi : But Belle has never stopped loving Shawn . She wants him for herself , and now she s got the perfect excuse in the world to be with him whenever she wants . She s carrying his child . For the rest of our lives , she ll be in my face -- she and the child she shares with my husband .
Patrick : All right , well , I admit it s an unusual situation . But just because two people feel a bond over having a child together does nt mean they ll get involved romantically ..
Mimi : But they ve already been involved romantically . And when you still love a person and you already share a child together --
Patrick : Whoa , already share a child ? Who already has a child ?
Mimi : That s what I need to tell you . Shawn is Claire s biological father .
Hope : I want more than anything to believe in you again .
Bo : And you will . I m not gon na lose you , Fancy Face .
Mimi : What if when I tell him , he does leave me ?
Patrick : It s just a chance you re gon na have to take , honey .
Belle : I did nt marry Philip in good faith . My wedding vows were a lie .
Kayla : Who the hell are you ?
Woman : I m his wife . Who the hell are you ?

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Donna : No , Thorne . Katie specified she wanted this fabric .
Thorne : ( Sighs ) Our distributors do nt carry this fabric .
Donna : Well , uh , find somebody who does .
Thorne : ( Scoffs )
Katie : Do you think it s a little conservative ?
Eric : Well , obviously , it does nt matter what I think .
Katie : Eric , please . Do nt get upset . I ... ( sighs ) it s -- it s not bad . I just --we re trying to go for something younger .
Eric : You ve shown a lot of tenacity and character sticking by Forrester when your brother and your sister and your mother could nt . They all abandoned ship . I think maybe the transition s already begun .
Ridge : What transition would that be ?
Eric : To you taking over for me .
Whip : I tell you . It s a big risk building an entire collection around an unknown like Hope .
Stephanie : So you re not impressed either ?
Whip : Well , there s innovation , and then there s recklessness . Besides , there s a lot more at stake than just Forrester s reputation .
Katie : Oh , good . Everyone s here .
Steffy : We ve been here for a while now .
Katie : Well , I hope you ve put your time to good use .
Hope : Oh , well , we wanted to wait for you . We did nt want to start without you .
Katie : This is your campaign . If you have an idea , you and your team should run with it .
Brooke : Steffy was just telling us about her script for her promo .
Katie : Let s see it .
Steffy : This is just a first draft .
Donna : ( Clears throat )
Katie : Why do nt you take another pass at that ?
Steffy : Oh , well , I have other ideas . I can go get them .
Ridge : ( Whispering ) Hey , what are you doin here ?
Taylor : ( Whispering ) Oh , I was checking on you , but I - I think Steffy needs a little more support than you right now .
Katie : Look , I know I m asking a lot . We do nt have a lot of time to put this campaign together , but that s no excuse to do shoddy work , right ? I think we all have to step up our game .
Whip : Every man has his limits , Stephanie . I m sure Ridge is reaching his .
Stephanie : Oh , I do nt know . When it comes to those Logan girls , the Forrester men do nt seem to have any limits .
Whip : Yeah , Ridge and Brooke have definitely had their share of marriages , which begs the question-- how many times have they been divorced ?
Katie : Look , I know you can do better . You have to . We all have to . I ca nt stress this enough . This campaign has got to be perfect . We are creating every girl s fantasy here , we re -- every girl s dream come true . I - if any part of this campaign falls flat , we can cross that from fantasy into farce , and I am not going to allow Hope to be part of something like that . This has got to be huge . This is Hope for the Future by Hope Logan .
Ridge : If I ca nt take care of my children , if I ca nt support my family , then none of this means anything . It s just pointless .
Katie : The Logan name is what sets us apart . It s our hook . Last time , Steffy , you did the voiceover for the campaign . I think this time around , we re gon na use Hope s voice .
Steffy : Wait , you-- you want me to write the script , but you do nt want me to read it ?
Donna : Well , your voice is tied to Hollywood Glamour .
Brooke : Uh , Steffy , you said you had another copy somewhere ? Why do nt just all take a break and -- and you could go find it .
Hope : Oh , I ll go with . I m parched .
Brooke : Oh , Hope , hold on . Steffy , would you mind bringing something back to drink for Hope ? Thanks .
Steffy : Sure .
Katie : We re in a good place . Everything s coming together .
Donna : Well , I talked to Thorne , and he s hunting down the fabric .
Katie : Great .
Brooke : Steffy s going to spruce up her copy .
Hope : Oh , wow , this is all really happening .
Brooke : Thanks to you and your incredible idea .
Katie : Well , execution is the key . We need everyone s best efforts .
Brooke : Steffy will come around . So will your dad .
Hope : Hmm .
Brooke : And that s what this campaign is all about . It s -- it s looking forward . It s getting past the conflicts and the resentments and creating a great future for all of our families , for all of us . And that s what Hope for the Future is all about . It gives us a singular purpose , something that we all care about . We re gon na make this company great again . We are .
Katie : ( Chuckles )
Donna : ( Chuckles )
Ridge : I do nt give a damn about this company anymore .
Thomas : Oh , do nt say that .
Taylor : You can not give up on your legacy . That is not the answer .
Ridge : I m beginning to think there is nt an answer here .
Taylor : No , Ridge , there is always an answer . It may not be an easy one or one you want to hear .
Ridge : Look , no matter what I do , someone I love is bound to get hurt .
Taylor : And yet you said that something has to be done .
Ridge : It s Katie . She s got way too much power here . As long as she s in charge , this situation s is gon na get worse . There s got to be some way to get her out of that office .
Whip : I m not advocating a breakup .
Stephanie : Of course not . You re dating Taylor .
Whip : Well , she does deserve to be more than her ex - husband s port in a storm .
Stephanie : Their children are caught up in all of this as well .
Whip : Come on , Stephanie . Children -- they re not babies . Besides , my only concern is Taylor , which , you have to admit , has never been something that your son could say .
Stephanie : Even so , those two are always going to have feelings for one another . But I think you sense that , or we would nt be having this conversation .
Whip : Actually , the , uh , the reason that we are having this conversation is ...
Stephanie : A dress ?
Whip : This . Well , not just any dress , but the dress . Bridget did an amazing job , did nt she ?
Stephanie : You had this designed for Taylor ?
Whip : I know . I know what you re thinking-- just what she needs , another gown , right ? But I guarantee you . She does not have one like this , not one that s been inspired by her-- by her beauty . You know . I mean , look . The blue of her eyes , the -- the line of her hair . I mean , it s definitely everything that I see and I feel when I look at her . It s all there .
Taylor : I had told myself I was nt going to say anything , but ...
Ridge : Go ahead .
Taylor : Well , it s ... ( sighs ) it s just that you called me last night , and-- and you told me that you could nt even go in your own house because Katie and Donna were there , and , well , I ve just been wondering if you ve talked to Brooke about it .
Ridge : It s all we seem to talk about nowadays . She says the right things . I say the right things . I keep telling myself that things are gon na get better , that I ll get over it . I walk through the halls , Doc , and all I can think is , what the hell am I doing here ? This used to be my-- my refuge . Whatever s going on in my life , I could come here , and the troubles would kind of melt away . ( Sighs ) Now when I come here , like today , you know what I feel ? Dread . What if I ca nt stop feeling that way ?
Taylor : Well , something will have to change .
Taylor : Oh , hold on . I ve got a text .
Ridge : Is it one of the kids ?
Taylor : No , it s Whip . He -- he wants to see me right now .
Ridge : So it s true . You re , uh ... you re really dating him .
Taylor : Yeah . I - I think he s really good for me . He s very warm . He s very funny . And , um , he s very appreciative , and I think it is good for me . A lady needs that .
Ridge : Well , you better get going then . Stay around here , you d just get upset . You do nt need that .
Taylor : Neither do you .
Ridge : No . ( Sighs ) .
Taylor : Things will get better , Ridge .
Ridge : I sure hope so , Doc . I hope so .
Taylor : Hey , listen , um , this is nt exactly the right time , but this Doc thing ... I - I dont-- I think that should stop . You have your Logan , and I m not ... your Doc anymore .
Ridge : Right , right . Okay . Um ... I hear you .
Taylor : Okay .
Ridge : ( Sighs )
Brooke : And we re absolutely sure that this is the right thing to do ?
Katie : ( Sighs )
Brooke : I know I ve been questioning a lot .
Katie : Are you losing faith in your daughter ?
Brooke : No , it s just that she s young , and she has no experience . There s a lot resting on her shoulders . I do nt want to push her too far too fast .
Katie : So this concern-- it s all about Hope .
Brooke : Well , I do have a lot riding on this personally .
Katie : ( Sighs ) So do I ! I mean , come on . If this campaign fails , Hope is gon na get some bad publicity . She s not gon na get the blame . I will .
Donna : I think Katie is saying that she thinks Hope can handle this .
Katie : We have to stop asking if she s ready . She s eager . She wants this . She wants to stand up , take charge and show the world our next generation . She is so much like you , Brooke . Her energy , her vitality-- she is the perfect person to carry on your tradition at Forrester . I truly believe that your daughter can do this for us .
Ridge : What if I ca nt start feeling this way ?
Taylor : Well , something will have to change .
Ridge : ( Gasps ) Ooh , Mother . Hey .
Stephanie : Are you all right ?
Ridge : ( Sighs ) I guess I do nt have to ask what you and Taylor discussed over breakfast . She came to check on me , too .
Stephanie : Oh . You think she s still in the building ?
Ridge : I do nt know . She got a message from Whip .
Stephanie : That s not surprising . You know , he had Bridget , um , design a dress for her . A lot of thought and heart went into it . I think he s falling in love with her . Would nt surprise me if sooner or later , she might return those feelings .
Taylor : Whip ?
Whip : Ah . ( Clears throat ) Welcome , Milady .
Taylor : You did nt do so great as being my therapist , so now you re my maître d ?
Whip : Oh , well , I , uh-- you know what they say about the way to a woman s heart is-- scratch that , okay ? No games today .
Taylor : Oh , okay .
Whip : Well , you know , I - I - I like our banter . I think it s a lot of fun . I m sure it s one of the many things that you find most attractive about me .
Taylor : Well , that and your humility ...
Whip : Yes , but it also--
Taylor : And your modesty .
Whip : It also is a way of distancing myself from you . Look , Taylor , I ve been trying to get to know you , and , uh , I think the reason that you have nt been able to open up is because , um , you do nt know me . So come right over here for a moment . Right here . Mm - hmm . Just turn slightly . Good . Right there . Comfortable ? Good . ( Clears throat ) Now let s see what we have here . Oh , I know . The exterior s very intriguing , hmm ? Mm - hmm . What could it be ? ( Gasps ) Why do nt you reach inside ? Hmm ? Go ahead .
Taylor : ( Chuckles )
Whip : Nice .
Taylor : Oh .
Whip : It s all the--
Taylor : Oh , my goodness .
Whip : It s all the beauty that you have that inspires me .
Taylor : Whip , this is gorgeous .
Whip : Yeah , well , I had it made for you . It s , uh , it s one of a kind just like you .
Steffy : Where is everybody ?
Hope : Uh , they had another meeting , and Katie wanted me to take a look at your revision . ( Sighs ) Look , Steffy , I m not your boss . I m not anyone s boss . I m just the new kid , and I want to do a good job .
Steffy : Yeah , me , too . I was up half the night working on this . I know it s not perfect , but for Katie just to throw it in my face like that ?
Hope : Well , I m sure it s fine now . Come on . I know what Katie s looking for .
Steffy : Fine .
Hope : Okay .
Steffy : ( Laughs )
Hope : ( Chuckles sarcastically ) You did that on purpose , did nt you ? Are you really that jealous , Steffy ?
Steffy : Why would I be jealous of you ? Oh , because you re the new Forrester spokesmodel ? Because your aunt likes you better than me or what ?
Hope : No , because dad chose my family over yours .
Steffy : ( Scoffs )
Hope : I know it hurts , okay ? But when dad--
Steffy : Do nt even say it . I do nt care what you say . He is not your dad .
Whip : Exquisite .
Taylor : Yes , it -- it is . ( Sighs )
Whip : Well , I - I was nt necessarily talking about the dress , although you do look exactly like I imagined you would .
Taylor : I ca nt believe you did this .
Whip : ( Chuckles ) With a little help from Bridget , of course . Taylor , I - I did nt create this dress to show you what I could do . I ... it s more what you do to me .
Taylor : Whip .
Whip : But if you , um , if you still have feelings for Ridge , or you , um , you know , you-- you think that maybe , uh ... ( sighs ) whatever . Who am I kidding ? I do nt care . I do nt care . Ridge may never make up his mind completely but I have . And I m telling you , Taylor , for me ... you re it .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Whip : Mm . Baby , I m crazy about you . ( Chuckles )
Ridge : Whip had a gown made for Taylor ?
Stephanie : It s beautiful .
Ridge : You came running all the way over here to tell me about that ?
Stephanie : ( Chuckles ) I did nt bring Taylor up . You did .
Ridge : I just thought it would be more pleasant for you than talking about Brooke .
Stephanie : ( Scoffs ) Well , I can see no matter what I say , it s gon na get you started on the wrong side .
Ridge : Well , then maybe we should nt say anything then .
Stephanie : You know I ca nt do that . Ridge , the hell with the contract that Spencer has . Let the lawyers sue you . This place is killing you . Take it from someone who knows . Take the kids and get the hell out of here . If you do nt want to come to Jackie M. and-- and go into partnership with me , okay . Then start your own business . If you do it without taking any of the Logan girls with you , I ll help you .
Ridge : But what about my wife ? She s a Logan , and Brooke is nt going anywhere .
Stephanie : Well , there it is then . Honey , I can see this . You hate this ace . You see -- you hate what s happening to this company . Why do nt you just sell the stock that you have here and walk away with your dignity intact ?
Ridge : Because this is nt totally about me . I have to be concerned about my kids , too .
Stephanie : They hate it here , too . And as long as Kate is C.E.O. , your children will always be second bananas here . Has nt this business with Hope proven that to you ? She s Deacon s daughter . What do you think is gon na happen when the press gets hold of all of that ? Just her presence here , as you put-- it -- it s a stain on the good name of this company .
Ridge : Oh , come on , Mother . Hope is a good girl . She has nt hurt anyone .
Stephanie : No , she is a good girl , and you re right . She has nt hurt anyone , but those girls have . They re going to hurt her . They re hurting this company . They re hurting your children , and most importantly to me , they re hurting you . Their loyalty lies , with the big fish in the pond right now , and that is Spencer . Forrester as we knew it is gone . They re in control here . You ve got to get away from all of it ... from all of them .

### Dialogue:
Alison : I swear , five minutes is all we need .
Mr. Frankfurter : I already told you , I m closed .
Aaron : You see , the thing is --
Alison : I m desperate for a good night s sleep .
Emily : Oh , God . Please , please do nt let them in .
Mr. Frankfurter : That s the same thing the couple in the store told me . That they d just be five minutes .
Emily : No , no , no .
Alison : You have customers in the store , and you wo nt let us in ?
Emily : She s gon na talk her way in . I know she s gon na talk her way in ! She ca nt find us like this ! What are we gon na do ?
Chris : No kidding .
Emily : Hide ! Go , go !
Alison : I have to find out who beat us here .
Mr. Frankfurter : Hey ! Hey , wait a minute !
Julia : What did you just call me ?
Jack : My wife .
Julia : Listen , Jack , there s something that you need to know . The doctors feel it s very important that you access your memories on your own . So I m really trying not to influence you .
Jack : No , I get that , I do . And I m working on it . Look , I get a word or picture in my head , and I try to grab on to it , but it s like trying to catch tadpoles .
Julia : Did you use to catch tadpoles when you were a kid ?
Jack : I -- I do nt know .
Julia : Listen , do nt push it , Jack . These things do take time . And sooner or later , you ll remember everything .
Jack : Good . Good , cause you know , I can deal with forgetting the childhood stuff , but not how we met , or when JJ was born .
Julia : Listen , Jack , I -- I got ta go , okay ?
Jack : Julia -- hey ! Just take me home ! I ll start remembering stuff , I promise . You just got ta take me home !
Carly : Jack -- Parker and I are going to the bridge tonight . To the place where your car went into the river . He put a family picture in this bottle and he wrote a note on the back of it , asking you to come back . I know you ca nt , but if there s any way you can help him understand -- he s so young .
Mike : Where s Parker ?
Carly : He s upstairs . I do nt know , maybe you should nt take him .
Mike : Cause it s getting late ?
Carly : No , no . Because , maybe once he gets there -- it ll be harder than he thinks .
Mike : So maybe you should go . It ll be a lot easier if you re with him .
Carly : Sage . I do nt want to wake her .
Mike : I ll baby - sit .
Parker : Ready , Mike ?
Carly : Actually , honey , I m gon na go with you .
Parker : Just us ?
Carly : Just you and me .
Jennifer : Is Lieutenant Munson here ?
Cop # 1 : He s out , bringing in a suspect .
Jordan : A suspect in the kidnapping ? My name is Jordan Sinclair . My son and his mother were abducted .
Cop : Sorry for what you re going through .
Jordan : Well , thanks , but could you just give me some information ?
Cop : Wish I could , but it s against regulations .
Jennifer : Please , please -- I m Jennifer Munson . I m Lieutenant Munson s daughter . I ll take full responsibility . Now this suspect they re bringing in -- can you at least tell us if he or she is going to be questioned in the kidnapping ?
Cop : Yes .
Jordan : Who are they bringing in ? Did they find Stenbeck ?
Jennifer : Hey , I think I know who it is . And I wanted to prepare you , but I just could nt be sure how to say it --
Jordan : Say what , Jen ?
Barbara : I m innocent , Hal .
Hal : All you re going to do is tell me what happened . I ll take it from there .
Barbara : You said this was gon na be a private interview .
Hal : It will be .
Jordan : You are a suspect in my son s kidnapping ?
Hal : The two of you , out .
Jordan : No , no , I m not going anywhere . You all knew about this ? Jen , you knew that your mother was involved in this ?
Jennifer : I had suspicions that I wanted to tell you about , but I was nt sure .
Barbara : And you were right not to say anything , cause I was nt involved , Jen . James did this . He kidnapped them .
Jennifer : All my mother did was help him escape .
Barbara : You set me up .
James : Come on , Paul , pick up the pace . Tempus fugit . That means time flies . You thought I d vanished ?
Paul : Where are Rosanna and Cabot ?
James : Here . Safe . For now .
Paul : Prove it .
James : Always suspicious . You are your mother s son . Rosanna ! Rosanna , we ve got company .
Rosanna : Paul ! Is that you ? Paul ?
Paul : I m here .
Rosanna : He has Cabot ! Your father has Cabot !
Paul : I know , its okay . Listen to me -- everything is going to be okay . Where s the key ? Give me the key .
James : Where are your manners ?
Paul : Give me the key , please . What do you want me to do ? What is it that you want from me ?
James : What I ve always wanted from you , Paul . For you to be a man .
Alison : Where are they ? Did nt you say that there was a couple in here ?
Mr. Frankfurter : I do nt know , they must have left
Aaron : What were they looking for ?
Mr. Frankfurter : Well , my guess would be a mattress .
Alison : You remember what they look like ? Was one of them short and the other tall and they re both , like , goofy ?
Mr. Frankfurter : No ! She was pretty -- a blonde . And he was a nice - looking young fellow . He had sandy hair , square jaw .
Aaron : I do nt remember a couple like that anywhere else , do you ?
Mr. Frankfurter : Anywhere else ? Where ? Are you comparison shopping ? Because ask around , people . My prices are the best .
Alison : No , and I m sure you have the best deals , and the best mattresses . If you could just give us a little while , so I can just find the perfect bed . That would be great .
Mr. Frankfurter : Please , do it tomorrow . My wife is waiting for dinner and if I do nt close up and get home , she ll have my bags packed and waiting on the front steps .
Alison : Oh , so you re a happily married man ? Oh , that s so sweet . Look , I m about to get married , too . And that s why it s so important for me to find the perfect bed . Please . Please ?
Mr. Frankfurter : You re lucky that business is slow . I ll tell you what -- I have some paperwork to do in my office . When I m done , so are you .
Aaron : So , where do we look now ? Where do we look ?
Alison : I have no idea .
Aaron : This bed s messed up . You talking about that couple , right ? Maybe they were looking for it under the sheets ? Look , look .
Alison : Maybe they already found it ! Oh , this is so not happening . Who is this mystery couple and why are they ruining my life ?
Aaron : Okay , do nt panic . It could be they were really looking to buy a mattress .
Dr. Greenwood : Is everything all right ?
Julia : No , everything is not all right . I m lying to my patient .
Dr. Greenwood : You re talking about Jack ?
Julia : All the poor guy wants to do is go home . And for some reason , he s convinced that I m the one who s gon na get him there .
Dr. Greenwood : He s longing for something familiar . It s a natural instinct .
Julia : No . He s convinced that I m his wife . When he overheard me talking to JJ , he decided that JJ must be his son .
Dr. Greenwood : A little transference is only temporary .
Julia : I do nt care what you call it . I ca nt keep letting the guy believe something that is nt true .
Dr. Greenwood : We have every reason to believe that when he does feel safe again , the part of the brain that s have been closed off will open up again , too .
Julia : Making him feel secure is one thing . Letting him believe that we re married --
Dr. Greenwood : All right , this approach may be unorthodox , but it s already resulted in Jack remembering his name and the fact that he s married . I d say that s pretty good progress .
Julia : He seems to remember a whole lot about the law , too .
Dr. Greenwood : Really ?
Julia : Mm - hmm . Greta Williams , the social worker , when she told Jack that she could nt release him unless she had an address to send him to . He went after her . He actually knew more about his rights than she did .
Dr. Greenwood : That s an excellent sign . She s right , though . It would nt be safe for him to try to fend for himself without a support system in place . Anyone could take advantage of him .
Julia : I do nt understand why a missing persons report has nt been filed yet .
Dr. Greenwood : Maybe that s changed . I ll call Greta and find out the status .
Julia : He s wearing a wedding ring . Would nt his wife have reported him missing ?
Dr. Greenwood : Unless she was glad he was gone .
Julia : What are you doing out of bed ?
Jack : I got ta get home .
Julia : You will , Jack , I promise . But first , you need to lie back down . You feel a little bit hot . Come on , let me see if I m right .
Jack : Of course you re right . No one knows me better than you .
Jordan : After everything I ve done for you Barbara , how could you put my child at risk ?
Barbara : He threatened my child ! Do you understand that ? He threatened to kill Will if I did nt follow his orders .
Jordan : Tell me where he is .
Hal : I m not gon na say it again , Jordan . Let me do my job .
Jordan : You re gon na sacrifice my child in order to save yours ? !
Barbara : I did what any mother would do .
Jordan : What are you charging her with , Hal ?
Hal : Aiding and abetting .
Barbara : And I thought you would understand . Will is your son , too , and you know what ? He s not out of danger . Cause James could still get to him , Hal .
Jordan : Why do nt you just admit it , Barbara ? Why do nt you just admit that you helped my father escape ?
Barbara : I m not saying another word without my attorney .
James : I ve waited for this moment all of my life .
Paul : Why ? So you can be in control ? Fine . You re in control . Now just tell me what I have to do to get Rosanna and Cabot back .
James : Why is it that you re talking so much about control ?
Rosanna : Paul ! Do you hear that ? Do what he says , just get Cabot !
Paul : Rosanna , listen to me . Everything s going to be fine . Everything s going to be okay , I promise you . All right . Obviously , this is some kind test , James . So just tell me what it is that I have to do to pass .
James : First , call me Dad . It s a little thing , but it means a lot .
Rosanna : Paul ! He could be hurt ! Please , just make sure he s all right !
Paul : Cabot s in there ?
James : Yeah . My grandson s in there . He s just fine . But , we were having a father - son moment here . You should nt have changed the subject . Our father and son moment is long overdue . Now here I am , your father , and I have to find out from Rosanna that you two are in love .
Paul : Rosanna and I are not the issue here .
James : Do nt be so sure about that .
Paul : No , this is about you and me .
James : No , it s also about Rosanna and Cabot . You made sure of that .
Paul : How ? How can I possibly be to blame ?
James : Because you destroyed years of orchestrated work . Because you wanted to lay claim to your brother s wife and your brother s son .
Paul : I did nt steal Rosanna from Jordan . Jordan never had Rosanna to begin with , okay ? Jordan did nt ask Rosanna to marry him -- you arranged all of that .
James : Because I knew what was best . I wanted them to be a family , and if you had nt interfered , the would have been a very happy family .
Paul : People ca nt be happy , Dad , until they are in control of their own dest -- God ! That is the only thing in this world that I have ever wanted !
James : Well , now , is nt this very convenient , Paul ? Because that s exactly what I ve arranged for you . For you to me in control of your own fate . But beware son , beware . Fate can be very cruel .
Aaron : Come out , come out , whoever you are .
Chris : Hey , Alison .
Alison : Chris , what are you doing here ?
Chris : Long , long , story .
Emily : Hey . Hey , guys . Hey , Aaron .
Alison : The guy who owns the place said there was a couple here , but you guys are nt a couple .
Emily : No , honey , obviously he was mistaken .
Chris : Yeah , yeah , definitely . Mistaken .
Aaron : Oh , yeah ? Really . Then tell Ali how that happened , Chris . Go ahead . Tell her what you and Emily have really been up to .
Parker : This is the place ?
Carly : Yes . This is where Jack s car went over .
Parker : That s a long way down . That water looks really dark , Mom .
Carly : Are you all right ?
Parker : Kind of yes , kind of no -- remember that time I got lost ?
Carly : At the mall .
Parker : I was so scared . I did nt know if you were going to find me .
Carly : Well , I did find you . The security guard and I found you , and then you and I got ourselves a big ice cream cone .
Parker : And that s why --
Carly : What ? What is it , honey ? You can tell me .
Parker : Jack is lost , and I do nt want him to be scared . I want someone to find him and give him ice cream and take care of him until he can come home .
Carly : I want that , too .
Parker : Can we give him the picture and the note now ?
Carly : Yeah , sure .
Parker : He ll find it . Right , Mom ?
Carly : Well , I believe that no matter where Jack is , he will know that we sent this to him . And it will make him very happy . Hold my hand . Careful . You ready ?
Parker : We love you , Jack .
Julia : Your fever s coming down . You feel better ?
Jack : I ll feel better when I can start remembering a few minor details . Like how we met or where we got married or what it was like when our son was born . I ca nt stand this feeling of not having any control over my life . That s not me . Is it ?
Julia : Nobody likes to feel out of control , Jack . But I do nt want you to worry , because I m here . I m gon na take care you till you get your bearings .
Jack : you deserve better than this , Julia . I want to be the guy you married . I want you to be able to count on me again .
Julia : You get some sleep , okay ? Lie down . Get some rest .
Jack : You ll be here when I wake up ?
Julia : I ll be here .
Julia : I m sorry . I tried it your way . I ca nt . I ca nt keep doing this . This is not fair to me . It s not fair to jack .
Dr. Greenwood : Okay , Julia , I understand . I ll get someone else to take over Jack s case .
Julia : The only thing is , I -- I promised him that I d be here when he woke up .
Dr. Greenwood : I ll find an explanation for why you had to go . I was asking too much of you . Go home . Make a clean break .
James : Two tapes were delivered tonight . One to you and one to little Will s hospital . If you do nt follow my instructions , then I can assure you , my friends at the hospital will follow theirs .
Hal : See -- we can all understand why you would be frightened . Why you would think you had to do what James wanted ? Just tell us what you did , Barbara . Did you help him escape ?
Barbara : No . I swear on the lives of my children .
Jennifer : Oh , please . If you care so much about our lives , how about stop trying to destroy them ?
Barbara : I have never tried to hurt you , Jen .
Hal : We re running out of time .
Barbara : Yes , you are . You should be out there looking for James , not grilling me .
Hal : Please , Barbara ! Just give me something that points to where James is hiding .
Barbara : Talk to my lawyer , Hal .
Jordan : What makes your son s life more important than mine ? You had no right -- none ! --To put my child in danger .
Barbara : James is nt gon na kill Cabot . Is that what you think ? He s not gon na do that . Cabot is his only grandchild .
Hal : He tried to kill Paul ! How many times , I ca nt even remember . And Paul is his son !
Jennifer : Paul . You were asking where he was , and we still have nt heard from him . If anything happens to my brother , I will never forgive you .
Paul : You wanted me here . I m here . Now give me the key .
James : What do I get in return ? You never give me anything . Father s day comes and goes , not even a card . A little box of chocolates ? Nothing . But Rosanna -- you d give Rosanna the sun , the stars , the moon , if you could .
Paul : Absolutely . I love her .
James : You think I m a monster , do nt you ? Is nt life kinda funny ? Now you want the monster to show compassion .
Paul : All I m saying to you is that if you re angry at me , fine . Take it out on me .
James : I intend to .
Paul : Great . Bring it on .
James : First of all , why are nt you more charitable with your brother ? Jordan and Rosanna have a baby together . Let them enjoy their baby .
Paul : Jordan and Rosanna do nt love each other .
James : They both love Cabot . They both love Cabot . They could take that love and bind their family together .
Paul : Rosanna loves me , Dad . We re gon na get married .
James : Married , good . First , you better rescue her . Get her out of there !
Paul : Rosanna ? Rosanna , listen , everything s gon na be okay . Everything s gon na be fine , all right ? I m gon na get you out of here , okay ? I promise you .
James : Easy , easy , easy , hero . Easy , we do nt want to set the bomb off ahead of schedule .
Announcer : Coming up on As the World Turns --
Carly : How do you know for sure that Jack is nt out there somewhere ? Lost and scared ?
Holden : Carly , if Jack were lost , he would pick up a phone .
James : Tick , tock . Tick , tock .
Rosanna : Paul ? Are you still there ? Answer me !
Paul : You -- you planted a bomb ?
James : You thought all you had to do was open a couple of doors ? You want to be a hero . Heroes risk their lives . Be a hero , Paul .
Paul : Where ? Where did you plant your bomb ?
James : Bomb ? Where did I plant the bomb ? Well , we ought to find it ! It s set to go off any minute !
Paul : Give me the key . Give me the key to that door ! Or so help me , you will die here with us .
James : Oh , well , see , I m not afraid to die . Are you afraid to die ? That s the question . Because you have two doors that are locked and no access to either one . So what are you going to do , Paul , hmm ? What are you gon na do ?
Mike : Just got Sage back to sleep .
Carly : Speaking of which -- if you go upstairs and brush your teeth right away , you ll have time for one chapter of Encyclopedia Brown .
Parker : Night , Mom .
Carly : Good night , sweetie . I love you .
Parker : Me , too . See ya .
Mike : See ya , buddy . So how d it go ?
Carly : It was -- it was okay . Surprisingly okay . I think the way Parker s dealing with Jack s death , like there might be something to be hopeful about -- it s better than I thought .
Mike : Hope s a pretty powerful thing .
Carly : Thanks for your help tonight .
Mike : So , Parker accepts Jack s death at his own pace . He ll figure it out in time .
Carly : Did Sage take a bottle ?
Mike : And a half .
Carly : Hi . Come in .
Holden : Hi , Carly . I m sorry . I know it s late . Everything okay ?
Carly : Oh , yeah . Mike came by to play catch with Parker , and he wound up baby- sitting Sage . Parker and I went to the bridge .
Holden : To say good - bye to Jack ?
Carly : Not exactly . We had more of an informal ceremony .
Holden : I think that maybe it s time that we have a formal one , Carly . To recognize that Jack lived a great life -- and that the time has come to pay tribute to it .
Alison : What is Aaron talking about ?
Aaron : Yeah , go on , tell her . Tell Ali how you and Emily have been sneaking around .
Chris : Okay , right , we have --
Alison : No , maybe you should nt tell me . I mean , I know that you guys have been up to something lately , and I have nt asked for any details .
Emily : No , honey , it s nothing bad .
Alison : Then why were you guys hiding ?
Emily : Because we wanted it to be a surprise .
Alison : Are you guys buying me a mattress ?
Emily : No , no .
Chris : No , no , no . But I guess I d better tell you what we are doing . Emily and I are partners in the keys to the kingdom contest .
Emily : And we wanted to collect all six keys and give them to you as a wedding present .
Aaron : Oh , come -- can you just tell her the truth , please ?
Chris : Aaron , that is the truth . We already have two keys .
Emily : And we were about to find the third when we heard you and Aaron outside .
Alison : You know where the key is ?
Emily : Yeah , we do . Should we show her ? Okay , honey , turn around . Look up .
Alison : Oh , my gosh ! Help me , help me ! I got it , I got it ! Oh , help me ! I got it , I got it ! Okay !
Emily : Be careful . Be careful .
Alison : The fifth key ! I only need one more key , you guys ! You guys are the best ! I love you so much !
Alison : You are the best sister -- and you are the best fiancé .
Emily : I ca nt -- I ca nt -- I m sorry . Well , I got ta go . Excuse me . I ll call you later , Ali .
Alison : When did Emily get so sentimental ? Nothing used to get to her . Now she s like in tears over the littlest thing . I m gon na go see if I can catch up with her . I ll call you . Thank you so much . Oh , bye , Aaron .
Aaron : You got away with it again .
Chris : With what ?
Aaron : Lying to Alison .
Chris : What you do nt get , Aaron , is that I love her .
Aaron : Then why the hell are you cheating on her , then ?
Chris : What makes you think that I m cheating on her ?
Aaron : Because I saw you kissing Emily !
Chris : Look , things are nt always what they seem .
Aaron : Oh , you know , Chris , it s kinda hard to get this one wrong , buddy .
Chris : You remember the last time that you were so sure I was hurting Alison ? You know , when I got arrested and almost wound up in jail ? Do me a favor , Aaron -- back off . Hey , I promise to do right by Alison , and you promise to do right by us .
Aaron : Look , I just want what s best for Alison .
Chris : Look , I know you do . And I know that you do nt think that it s me . But I want it to be .
Carly : It is too soon for a memorial service .
Mike : I agree .
Holden : No offense , Mike , but this is a family decision .
Mike : You re right . Do you want me to make sure Parker s getting ready for bed ?
Carly : Yeah . There are a lot of reasons why it s not time to have a service .
Holden : Such as ?
Carly : Parker s not ready . I m not ready .
Holden : When will any of us be ready ? But it has to happen .
Carly : Just not yet . I guess that I m not ready to stop hoping .
Holden : I know that . I keep thinking that maybe Jack is gon na come home , too . But it s not gon na happen .
Carly : And how do you know that ? How do you know for sure that jack is nt out there somewhere , lost and scared ?
Holden : Carly , if jack were lost , he would pick up a phone . Or he d walk into a police station . But he has nt . And he s not going to .
Carly : All the same -- I ca nt say good - bye yet . I hope you understand that .
Holden : I do . Every time somebody calls me and asks when the memorial service is going to be , I want to say , Never . We re never going to have one because my cousin is coming home . But that s the reason why we have to have this service .
Carly : To stop hoping ?
Holden : So we can start accepting . Lily , she never accepted Rose s death . It hurt her . It hurt our children . And Jack would not want me to let you live in some limbo , waiting for something that ca nt happen .
Carly : I wo nt wait forever . Just a little while longer .
Holden : I was there for Lily and the kids , and I will be there for you if I have to be . But I m begging you not to go there . It s just not reality .
Carly : What is reality ? Is it real that my husband s car went off a bridge , Holden ? Is it real that my kid s childhood is all of a sudden gone ? My children need more time .
Holden : Your children need you -- to let them know that even though Jack was killed , they re still safe . My mother , Lily and I , we re all gon na be there for you . We re gon na be there for the kids . But it s you that has to tell Parker and Sage that they still have someone they can count on .
Carly : Okay . Fine , do it . But do nt ask me to speak .
Holden : Not unless you want to .
Carly : You . You do it . You stand up there , and you tell everybody who Jack Snyder was . And why we love him .
Holden : I will . And if you want any music or a poem or prayer read , you just let me know . I ll handle everything .
Mike : Going ahead with the memorial ?
Carly : His family -- the cops on the force -- they need it .
Mike : And you do nt ?
Carly : Parker and Sage and I will be there . But we will be waiting for Jack to walk through the door and bring us home .
Julia : Hello ? Julia , this is Dr. Greenwood . Have you heard from our head trauma patient ?
Julia : Jack ?
Dr. Greenwood : Yes .
Julia : No , not a word . Why ?
Dr. Greenwood : Well , he seems to have checked out of the hospital .
Julia : But he s not ready . Where would he go ?
Dr. Greenwood : That s the question . Call me if you hear from him . Please .
Julia : Be careful , Jack , wherever you are .
Jordan : So you re just gon na sit there , continue to lie , even though Paul might be in danger ? He is your son just as much as Will is . What kind of mother are you ?
Barbara : I m sure that Paul is out there searching for Rosanna and Cabot as we speak .
Hal : Half the cops on the force are searching for Rosanna and Cabot . And the other half are out searching for the pilot .
Jordan : What pilot ?
Hal : The one who flew James escape helicopter . You d better start talking , Barbara .
Jennifer : That pilot could have taken James anywhere in the world . Why did they come back to Oakdale ?
Jordan : For Rosanna and Cabot .
Hal : No . This whole thing is about Paul . Rosanna and Cabot are just the bait to reel him in !
Jennifer : Oh , my God ! Dad , do something !
Hal : All right . Everybody , listen up . I want an APB out on Paul Ryan . Immediately .
Paul : What did I do ? What do I have to do ?
James : Please , Paul , stop begging . It s bad for your hero image .
Paul : Please -- please , the key . Please , let me get Rosanna and Cabot out of here , please .
James : You thought all you d have to do is open a couple of doors ? A monkey can do that , Paul . Why do nt you think of something big ? Something grand , something dramatic for once in your life ?
Rosanna : Paul , what s going on ?
Paul : I ll be right there .
James : Maybe . Maybe not .
Rosanna : Paul , just forget about me . Get Cabot and get out of here ! Call the police !
James : Tick , tock . Tick , tock .
Paul : How much time do I have ?
James : Time enough to save just one . Huh ? So , who s it going to be , Paul ? The love of your life ? Or the love of her life ? Cause in a couple of minutes , one of them s going to be a goner .
Carly : You miss your daddy , sweetheart ? So do I. Hey , what are you doing awake ?
Parker : What if Jack ca nt find his way home in the dark ?
Carly : Oh , sweetie , come here . You have your compass ? Yeah ? Do you think it would help if we put one of our Christmas candles in the window ? Then that s what we ll do . Okay ?
Carly : You ready ?
Parker : We love you , Jack .
Carly : Jack , where are you ?
JJ : I got the checkers set up .
Julia : Okay . I ll be right there .
JJ : Are you all right ?
Julia : Yeah , I m fine . I m just watching the storm . It s supposed to be a big one .
Alison : You guys are the best ! I love you so much !
Hal : Now , I want you to think of a place that might have some significance in Paul s life . Because that s probably where he lured your son .
Barbara : Stop trying to frighten me , all right ? Paul can take care of himself . He ll be fine .
Hal : Because you re going to help him . You ve always been there for Paul when he needed you , Barbara . Do nt stop now , not when he needs you so much .
Barbara : I do nt know this . I m not sure , but -- James has a cabin . In Luthers Corners .
Hal : Bring up Stenbeck s file . Every available unit close in on Luthers Corners . Where are you going ?
Jordan : To save my son .
Jennifer : I m coming with you .
Barbara : No ! Jennifer , it s too dangerous .
Hal : How do you know that , Barbara ? You pray I get there in time .
Paul : None of these keys work .
James : It s there , it s there . Your hands are shaking . Take a deep breath .
Rosanna : Paul !
Paul : Yeah , I m coming .
Rosanna : No ! No , get Cabot . Get Cabot first !
James : Would you look at the time ? Bye - bye .
Rosanna : What are you doing ? No , get Cabot ! Get Cabot out of here ! I heard him . Where s the baby ? I heard him . He s in the other room . I heard him crying !
Paul : Listen to me -- everything s gon na be all right .
Rosanna : He s in there . Get the baby ! Get the baby ! Get the baby ! Get the baby !
Paul : I m getting Cabot . Stay here !
Jack : Why wo nt you be honest with me , Julia ? Why wo nt you admit you re my wife ?
Sierra : Right before Wade Larsen kidnapped Lucy , I gave Craig $ 2,000,000 . I would hate to think that I helped finance my own daughter s kidnapping .
Rosanna : Where s Cabot ? Where s my baby ?
### Summary:

Paul finally gets Roseanna out , but when he goes back to rescue Cabot , the cabin blows up before he makes it up the first step . |
<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Erica : Ben , I know you feel horribly guilty about this , but it was just an accident .
Ben : Her little girl is dead , because of me .
Erica : Jane should nt blame you for that .
Ben : Jane does nt blame me for her daughter s death . She blames herself .
David : Maybe it would help if you told me about her , about Lydia .
Jane : No , no , no . No , I do nt want to talk about it . I do nt even want to think about it . That was the whole point : Erica Kane would never have to .
David : You ca nt run away from the loss . Believe me , I ve tried .
Jane : Watch me .
Bianca : I really appreciate you helping me out with this . I m usually on top of everything Miranda Center , but with building the new clinic and -- how are you doing ? I was really sorry to hear about Madison and the baby .
Scott : Oh . Thank you . I m hanging in there . Just trying to keep myself busy . I ve been focused on rebuilding the gatehouse .
Bianca : Yeah , Marissa told me about that tree falling .
Scott : Hits keep on coming , do nt they ?
Bianca : At least J.R. is bending over backwards to help you out . What ?
Scott : Talking about J.R. , my cousin ? I might get a wave when he drives by , but that is about it .
Bianca : I think he s trying -- at least when it comes to Marissa .
Scott : That s great . Ahem . But I guarantee you if Marissa lets J.R. back into her life , he s only gon na hurt her again .
J.R. : You deserve to be happy , you deserve to have fun , and I want to be the one to give you that because I love you . I never stopped . I want you right now .
Tad : Well . If it is nt Agent Trouble .
Agent Trumbull : Trumbull .
Tad : I know . To what do I owe the pleasure ?
Agent Trumbull : I need to talk to your wife .
Tad : I m sorry . Cara got called into the hospital on an emergency .
Agent Trumbull : She s at the hospital ?
Tad : Mm - hmm .
Agent Trumbull : So she s not here with her new husband , because she s off with the old one ?
Jake : Are you crazy ? I would never tell Amanda what happened between us . It would devastate her .
Amanda : Oh , my God .
Opal : Oh , I m glad I caught up with you . I just spoke to Janine .
Amanda : Is Trevor ok ?
Opal : Yeah , he s just peachy fine . Janine sounds like death warmed over . She said she d been trying to reach you but kept going to voice mail .
Amanda : Look , I hate to ask you this .
Opal : Do nt worry about it . I m there . No problem .
Amanda : Thank you . I really need to talk to Jake . This ca nt wait .
Opal : Yeah , I can see that . I just caught a glimpse of them , Jake and Cara head to head like that , and I do nt like it any more than you do . So you go on , you fix it -- not just for yourself , but for Tad , too .
Tad : Cara is nt necessarily with her old husband . She s at the hospital , because she works there . And if my brother Jake is with her , it s because it usually goes with the territory when you re chief of staff .
Agent Trumbull : Um , how is that married life working for you ?
Tad : That married life is great .
Agent Trumbull : Is Mrs. Martin saying the same thing ?
Tad : I certainly hope so . I mean , man , she s gorgeous , is nt she ? Those eyes and smile just lights up my world . Huh . And that does nt even begin to scratch the surface , but I m sure you just would nt understand .
Agent Trumbull : Enlighten me .
Tad : I have nt known her long , but I m sure of one thing . Cara lives to do one thing : To help people . It s who she is . She ca nt help it . Heart and soul , right down to the ground . No , she s at that hospital , because it s where she belongs . It s what she was put on this earth to do , and she s a brilliant doctor .
Agent Trumbull : So I hear .
Tad : Yesterday I let my mother color my hair .
Agent Trumbull : Looks nice .
Tad : You did nt see the first go - around -- a color not found in nature . Looked like an elf .
Agent Trumbull : Your point ?
Tad : My point is there s no way I could possibly express to you what my wife means to me . There s nothing I would nt do for her -- walk on fire , chew glass . Even look like an old fool just to make her feel a little more comfortable about the age difference , because the world is full of people like you just trying to figure out the deal . But then again , maybe I m wrong . Because , after all , you were at the wedding . You heard my vows . I m sure you can figure out how I feel about my wife .
David s voice : Kate is alive , and you have no idea where she is .
Dixie s voice : David , I played a part in what happened .
David : Do nt do this . You re a victim here .
Dixie : You do nt know that .
David : All right . Fine . Tell me . Tell me what you could possibly have done to deserve this kind of hell .
Jane : Why ca nt you let it go ?
David : Like you have ?
Jane : Yes . My old life , gone . That s why I became Erica Kane : So I could feel good about myself . So I could bask in the spotlight and sign autographs and have an exciting life and the love of a good man . I do nt want to go back . I ca nt go back . I ca nt go back to being that grieving mother .
David : So this is your answer ?
Jane : You know my secret , and I will do what you ask , but let me be very clear . No more talk about my former life , ever . I ll be in touch .
Erica : You re a very impressive man , Ben .
Ben : Because I cost a little girl her life ?
Erica : Because you re giving up yours for someone else . No one would chose to live like this .
Ben : Yeah . But then Jane did nt choose for my car to run into hers .
Erica : Ben , you know you could go to prison . Have you thought about that ? I can help you , I will help you , if you help me .
J.R. : Marissa ?
Marissa : I m sorry . Do nt you think this is a little bit too soon ?
J.R. : Obviously not , or I would nt have put it out there . Oh , my God , you re seriously surprised .
Marissa : I m just not ready . I m sorry .
J.R. : I guess I misread the signs .
Marissa : The signs ?
J.R. : Yeah . I thought that you were enjoying this . I do nt mean to give myself a pat on the back , but I ve gone to great lengths to impress you and make sure you re happy .
Marissa : I am happy -- I mean , I think I m happy .
J.R. : Then what ? Do you want me to tell you again ? I love you so much . I do nt know how you could doubt that .
Marissa : I do nt doubt that .
J.R. : Then what ? What is it gon na take for you to realize that you , me , and A.J. -- we need to be a family ?
Marissa : I do nt know .
J.R. : You do nt know ? You do nt know how I feel , or you do nt know what I ll do , or --
Marissa : I -- all of it . I just -- I m a little confused right now .
J.R. : You re confused ? Are you sure ? Or are you hung up on someone else ?
Scott : Come on . You ca nt tell me that you re rooting for J.R. , not after what he did to her .
Bianca : No , I m rooting for Marissa . J.R. was her first real love , and I do nt think that , deep down , that really ever went away . If there is a chance that that family can come back together , then -- I do nt know -- maybe she should go for it . It would certainly solve a lot of problems .
Scott : What problems ?
Bianca : No , I -- I just think Marissa deserves the world . And if , for whatever reason , J.R. can give it to her , then I hope she goes for it .
Marissa : Why are you so angry ?
J.R. : Why do nt you admit that you have the hots for my cousin ?
Marissa : Scott ?
J.R. : Come on . Do nt act all shocked . It s not like you had nt gone there before .
Marissa : I ca nt believe this is happening right now .
J.R. : You like Scott because he s sweet and safe . He d never hurt you like I would , right ?
Marissa : J.R. --
J.R. : No , sometimes in life , you have to take a risk , and what we have right now is one of them . I went on a line to tell you that I m crazy about you ! Was I afraid that I was gon na be rejected ? Yeah ! But I did nt give a damn , because I knew at the end of the day that I took a shot ! So you re willing to throw all that away , because you re scared ?
Marissa : No , no . You re twisting this around . Again , you re making it all on me , but let s not forget , J.R. , you re the one who tanked our marriage . You !
J.R. : I know . I know . You ca nt hold that over my head forever .
Marissa : I m not , but I m just trying to be smart for myself and for our son .
J.R. : Yeah , our son , who wants us to be together .
Marissa : Being together was never our issue .
J.R. : Ok . So that s it ? You re not even gon na try ?
Marissa : Did I say that ?
J.R. : Then what are you saying ? ! I m sorry .
Marissa : No , no , that s ok , because that was a much - needed reality check . You re not angry because of how I feel or how I do nt feel . You re angry , because you re not in control , and you hate that .
J.R. : That s not true .
Marissa : Yes , it is true . Just deal with it , J.R. ! I m calling the shots , and this is too much too soon . It s too soon .
J.R. : Marissa ?
Jane : Oh .
Jack : Hello , beautiful .
Jane : Hi .
Jack : What s wrong ?
Jane : Nothing s wrong .
Jack : Ok . Look , I know I ve said this dozens of times , and it s fallen on deaf ears , but maybe if we talked about this , it might help .
Jane : Oh . I ll get it .
Man : I m sorry I m late . Crosstown traffic was unbelievable .
Jack : And you are ?
Jane : Roger Farish , Faces Magazine . I just completely forgot that we set this up , but please come in .
Jack : Do you think this is the best time ?
Jane : Oh , of course , I do . Do nt be silly .
Roger : So may I shoot some photos while I record the interview ?
Jane : Oh , yes . Multitasking -- I love that . Ok , let s just start on the couch ? Ok . Just a second .
Roger : So is the wedding still on hold -- right there -- or just --
Jane : To tell you the truth , we ve just been so busy . We have nt had a chance to talk about it , but I ll tell you what . When I am standing at that altar , and I am looking into Jack s eyes , it s gon na be that much sweeter because of everything we ve had to overcome to get there .
Roger : That s beautiful .
Jane : So is our love story .
Frankie : No visible signs of head trauma , but we have nt had a chance to scan him yet .
Cara : Let s check it out .
Jake : Let s do it . Hi , honey .
Amanda : Hey , do you have a second ? I need to talk to you .
Jake : We have an emergency .
Amanda : Right . Of course , you do . Good thing you ve got Cara there to help you out .
Jake : Listen , I know that we need to talk about everything , ok , and we will . I m not trying to blow you off .
Amanda : Right . You go take care of your patient .
Jake : We re gon na talk about this , ok ? I m gon na call you when I m done . All righty ?
Amanda : Go .
Jack : Was there a square inch of this place that he did nt photograph you ?
Jane : That was so much fun . That was the perfect escape .
Jack : Escape from what ?
Jane : Oh , please , let s just not go there again .
Jack : I would probably say yes to that request if I had any idea where the hell there was . Erica , is this because your kidnappers have nt been found ? Are you afraid they might resurface ?
Jane : I m just afraid that this nightmare will never end , because no one will let me forget it . You know what ? I ve got to go .
Jack : Ok .
Cara : Nice work , Dr. Martin .
Jake : Very nice work , Dr. Martin .
Cara : Ok .
Jake : Do nt get your knickers in a bunch , ok ? You just got back to work . We re gon na get you a locker .
Frankie : Guys , there s a problem .
Cara : What s wrong ?
Frankie : Some blood work and cultures came back from the spinal tap . It does nt look good .
Jake : Meaning what ?
Frankie : We have to rule out meningitis , SARS , and the flu .
Cara : Awesome .
Frankie : Until we confirm diagnosis and treatment , you guys need to stay in here .
Jake : Wait . You re putting us in isolation ?
Frankie : I ll get you out as quick as I can .
Amanda : Can I have a white wine , please ? Actually , scratch that . Dirty martini , olives .
David : Martini , huh ? Maybe you d like some company .
Amanda : Would it matter if I said no ?
David : I ll have a vodka on the rocks , please .
Cara : So , SARS ? Hmm . It s not really my thing , you know ?
Jake : Not my thing either . Are you kidding ? I m a little worried , though , if it s meningitis .
Cara : No . Can you imagine if Griff were here , what he would do ? He d be storming the hallways demanding immediate attention for his sick sister .
Jake : Thank God you re not sick anymore .
Cara : He kind of forgets that . Some people do .
Jake : I do nt forget anything -- about you or us .
Cara : So do you think that we re gon na be ok ?
Jake : You know how these things go . If it s meningitis , it s bacterial , and as long as we get it early enough , then we ll be fine -- and this is plenty early .
Cara : I was nt talking about our health . I was talking about us and Tad and Amanda , and I just do nt want what happened to mess everything up .
Jake : It wo nt , as long as we do nt let it .
Cara : Right .
Jake : Should we call them or something and tell them what s up ?
Cara : Yeah .
Jake : All right .
Amanda : Hello ?
Jake : Hey . It s me . How are you ? I just wanted to tell you that -- ahem -- that emergency that I told you about turns out -- um , it s potentially an infectious disease down here at the hospital , so I ll let you know when I know what s what . Ok ?
Amanda : Is it dangerous ?
Jake : These things -- once they have a diagnosis , I ll know if I need treatment . And I ll keep you posted , then I can get out of here .
Amanda : Do nt you mean we ?
Jake : Hmm ?
Amanda : Was nt Cara exposed , too ?
Jake : Yeah .
Amanda : So you re stuck there , just the two of you ?
Jake : Yeah . Honey --
Amanda : All right . Tell Cara I said hi , ok ? Bye .
Kathy : Where s my bank , Daddy ?
Tad : Why ? You gon na buy out the candy store again ?
Kathy : No . I found a penny .
Tad : Ah . Cool . Ok . Come here . Err . You know what to do : Make a wish .
Kathy : Wishes are for babies .
Tad : Who told you that ? It s not true . Wishes are important . They re a big part of life . I mean , they may not come true the minute you make them , but you got to believe your old man . Every penny , every birthday candle , ladybug , wishbone , star is there for when you put that dream out there . And everybody needs a little bit of that no matter how old you get . Know what I mean , Jean ? Ok . You got it ? Your wish .
Tad s voice : Hope does nt have to die . In fact , it never dies . It s always there , right between love and forgiveness . The trick is you only know that if you have faith , and somehow I got there . It s like I just woke up , and I was me again , no more lost cause . I even wished on the Christmas star .
Dixie : I did , too .
Tad : It helped us find each other . It ll help us find Kate , too . She s ok for now . She s being taken care of , but she s waiting for us to find her , and when we do , you re gon na bring her home . It s gon na happen . I know it .
Cara : I promise I will be fine , and I will call you as soon as I know more .
Tad : All right , but no more fooling around with infectious diseases , ok ?
Cara : Ha ha . I ll be fine . Do nt worry .
Tad : I ll talk to you soon .
Cara : Bye - bye . Thanks .
Jake : [ Imitates spray bottle ] So how d that go ?
Cara : How s Amanda ?
Jake : Huh ?
Cara : Amanda .
Jake : You heard how my end went .
Cara : She s upset because I lied , right ?
Jake : I m -- I m an idiot .
Cara : No , you were trying to keep her from being hurt , Jake .
Jake : But look how I can do one little thing , and I can have the potential of losing my wife and my son forever , who I would throw myself in front of a train for . So I was thinking maybe -- maybe I should just tell her .
Cara : Ok .
Jake : I know I said that I was nt gon na do that and that it would devastate her , but I think that it would be healthy if we just got it out in the open , and I think that we could handle it .
Cara : You think she ll believe you ?
Jake : I mean , it s the truth . She has to , right ?
David : All right . That s great . Thank you . Good news . They ve ruled out SARS . Now they re just waiting to find out if it s flu or meningitis , but either way , everything s gon na be fine .
Amanda : Who was that on the phone ? I thought everybody at the hospital hated your guts .
David : I still have a few enamored nurses on staff . I d tell you who they were , but you d ask Jake to fire them .
Amanda : Right . Like Jake would listen to me . Maybe if you d tell Cara .
David : Oh , ok . Now I get it . That s what this is about , is nt it ? You re not worried that your hubby might be at death s door , it s just that he might be knocking on it with Cara Castillo , right ?
Amanda : To you , David . You really know how to comfort a girl . Good thing you re no longer a doctor -- your bedside manner sucks .
David : I ll be using that bedside manner before you know it , honey . Hmm .
J.R. : Come on , pick up . Pick up . Amanda , where are you ?
Amanda : I m at the bar at the club . Should nt you be with Marissa ?
J.R. : I had to cut it short . Listen , I spaced an important meeting with a potential investor . His name is Mason Phillips . He s an I - banker . He had to stay the night , so he s at our company s hospitality suite .
Amanda : Here ? Right now ?
J.R. : Yeah , and I m late . I called you , because I was hoping you were close . It s even better for me that you re there .
Amanda : What do you want me to do ?
J.R. : I want you to work your magic . I want you to keep him from bailing on us . I can not stress to you how important this is . Chandler s been having cash flow problems , and this Phillips could be the answer .
Amanda : This really is nt my job .
J.R. : I know . Listen , there s a proposal that s in his suite . Let him look over it . I ll get there just as soon as I can . I just have to change .
Amanda : I mean , yeah , of course , I ll do it . I just -- listen . Fair warning , I do nt know how much magic I m going to be working . I m having a pretty crappy day .
J.R. : You and me both .
Bianca : Must be pretty bad if you have nt touched that yet . How was your date with J.R. ?
Marissa : It was a disaster . A complete and total disaster .
Cara : I do nt want to tell you what to do , but I will tell you this . The whole honesty thing , it actually worked for Tad and me . We feel , like , closer together , you know ?
Jake : Yeah ?
Cara : Yeah . Yeah . I mean , I -- to be open like that , I was scared out of my mind , but , like , for the first time it felt kind of like we were a real couple .
Jake : Really ?
Cara : Would that bother you ?
Jake : With my brother ? I love my brother . And if it made you happy and -- ahem -- made you smile , I d be all for it .
Cara : Ok . Cool .
Jake : Except what I just said there is -- a lie . In fact , anytime I say anything like that , it s a lie . I m just saying what I think you and everybody else want to hear me say . And I want to mean it , but I do nt .
Cara : It s hard , is nt it ?
Jake : In fact , the idea of anybody even touching you -- I m crazy , right ?
Cara : No , you re not .
Jake : Yeah , I m the same guy that was just talking about how much I love my family . Was nt that me ?
Cara : Look , it s normal to feel jealous or whatever it is that --
Jake : I am jealous . I m jealous . And I know that that s crazy . Whatever .
Cara : I wish I could say that it was crazy . But since we re kind of putting it out there , um -- there s a huge part of me that wants you to love me most . Wow . I ca nt believe I just told you that .
Jake : Well -- we ll blame it on the isolation . That s what we can do .
Cara : That s what we re doing !
Tad : Good news . Go ahead , tell them . It s good news .
Frankie : Meningitis .
Cara : That does not sound like good news .
Tad : No , the viral kind . I m sorry . You probably could ve --
Frankie : Yeah , I was . Thank you . Anyway , I checked your records , and you both are clear with the vaccine .
Jake : So that s good . Then we re good , right ?
Frankie : Yeah .
Cara : That s great . Thank you , Frankie .
Frankie : No problem .
Cara : Wow ! Why are you here ? I told you not to worry .
Tad : I know , but with your history , I just -- I m sorry . I apologize , because I know you hate that .
Cara : Coming from you , not so much .
Tad : Come here for a second . Oh , I am so glad you are ok -- I mean both of you . Listen , do you -- can we get out of here , please ?
Cara : Sure .
Amanda : Mr. Chandler s been delayed , but if you have any questions --
Mason : I do . Are you Amanda Martin , the supermodel ?
Amanda : Um , ex - model , but , yes , that s me . I ca nt believe you recognized me .
Mason : Yours is a face you do nt forget . High fashion to finance ? That s quite the leap .
Amanda : It was an opportunity I could nt pass up , especially after talking with J.R. His plans for Chandler Enterprises are -- well , you saw . And the company is on the brink of something really incredible . To get in now before everything hits , you could be doubling , tripling your investment in no time .
J.R. : Mr. Phillips , I am sorry that I m late . In the interest of not wasting any more of your time , why do nt we just jump right on it here .
Mason : Actually , I think we re done here .
J.R. : At least let me show you .
Mason : I m in .
J.R. : You re in ?
Mason : Yeah . Amanda showed me the figures and gave me her pitch . I ve decided it s quite the investment .
J.R. : Your pitch ?
Mason : Not just beautiful , this one . Smart , too . We ll be in touch .
Amanda : Thank you .
J.R. : You wo nt regret this .
Mason : Thank you .
J.R. : Look at you , closing deals .
Amanda : What can I say ? I m good .
J.R. : Apparently . Thank you for stepping in and saving my butt . This calls for a celebration .
Marissa : He accused me of having feelings for somebody else . I mean , Scott ? That s crazy . He s my best friend . Actually , that s not even true anymore . You re my best friend .
Bianca : Yeah ?
Marissa : Yeah . God , I could nt talk about this kind of thing with Scott . Sex ? But you ? I could tell you anything . You do nt know how much that means to me .
David : Make yourself at home .
Jack : I will . I want you to stay away from Erica .
David : I m surprised I have to tell you this , Counselor , but it s a free country . It s my prerogative .
Jack : My fiancée . And if you think you can use this thing with Kendall to bully her --
David : Thing ? This thing ?
Jack : I m here to tell you that is not going to happen .
Erica : Ben ! Ben , please come back !
Jane : Erica ? I need your help .
Jack : What happened with Kendall as some kind of a trump card with Erica --
David : No . What happened is Kendall put a bullet in my back , Jack . Ok ? She never paid the consequences .
Jack : Hayward , with all the consequences you ve never paid , maybe you should just consider this even .
David : You know what ? As displeasing as this is for you , Erica does nt despise me . We have history , Jack , ok , and I guess she s starting to remember that .
Jack : Oh , I think what she s starting to remember is what a sadistic son of a bitch you are .
David : No , no , what a talented doctor I am . Ok ? What a loyal confidant and friend , because , honestly , that s where it s heading . In other words , I m not going anywhere .
Marissa : What if J.R. is right ?
Bianca : Right about what ?
Marissa : Me being scared , so scared of getting hurt that I ca nt even see something great that s staring me right in the face .
Bianca : There is nothing wrong with protecting yourself .
Marissa : But am I missing something ? I guess the question is , what s worse ? Getting hurt , or not feeling anything at all ?
Bianca : I do nt know .
Amanda : Thanks for the drink , but my bad day s still pretty bad , so --
J.R. : What happened ?
Amanda : Jake s in isolation at the hospital .
J.R. : Why did nt you tell me ? I would ve found someone else .
Amanda : No , it s just a precaution . They re gon na be fine .
J.R. : They ?
Amanda : Cara s with him .
J.R. : Oh .
Amanda : It s a perfect excuse to be alone together , right , and for who knows how long ?
J.R. : I m sorry . I know that you had your suspicions .
Amanda : They re not suspicions anymore . They re facts .
Tad : Running down to the hospital , I was nt trying to be overprotective . It s just you start throwing around words like SARS and meningitis --
Cara : It s hard not to freak out . I know .
Tad : Give me a little credit . I was nt freaking out , per se .
Cara : Per se ?
Tad : Ok .
Cara : I got a lucky penny .
Tad : No , that s Kathy s .
Cara : Oh .
Tad : Maybe I was freaking out a little bit , but I give you my word it wo nt happen again .
Cara : No , do nt .
Tad : I know . I just said --
Cara : No . No . I mean do nt give me your word . I like that you care . It makes me feel special .
Tad : You re not my wife . Where is the pod ? Every time Griffin tries something , you go on and on about how you feel smothered .
Cara : I guess you got the magic touch .
Tad : You like that I care ?
Cara : Mm - hmm .
Tad : I do . I do . I mean , I seem to tell everybody but you . It s the truth .
Cara : Well , who s everybody ?
Tad : Agent Trumbull for one .
Cara : Oh , no . Was he here ?
Tad : Uh - huh . Here earlier asking questions about our marriage . It s the way he says it -- you can practically see the air quotes .
Cara : So what d you tell him ?
Tad : I told him some things that I -- I should ve been telling you . I think you re amazing . There s nothing I would nt do to -- I care .
Cara : I know .
Amanda : So it s too late to get a refund on the room , right ?
J.R. : Yeah . Why ? What did you have in mind ?
Amanda : Would it be ok if I stayed here tonight ?
J.R. : That s fine with me . But if Jake s at the hospital , who s with Trevor ?
Amanda : I am going to take care of that right now . Opal .
Opal : Hey there . How s everything going ?
Amanda : Fine . I was just wondering if you would do me a really huge favor and stay with Trevor tonight ?
Opal : Are you ok ?
Amanda : Yeah , I m fine . I just could really use the time to myself .
Opal : You know I m always happy to help out , honeybunch .
Amanda : Thank you so much , Opal .
Opal : You get a chance to talk to Jake ?
Amanda : Oh . Sorry . Actually , that s him on the other line right now . Thanks again , Opal .
Opal : No problem , honey . Take care .
Opal : Hello ?
Jake : Opal ?
Opal : I thought you were on the phone with Amanda .
Jake : No . I could nt get through . Have you spoken to her ?
Opal : Yeah . She needs me to watch Trevor . I guess she s not coming home .
Jake : Hmm . Did she say why ?
Opal : Not to me .
J.R. : You did nt answer Jake s call .
Amanda : Ohh . Nope .
J.R. : Are you sure you re making the right decision ?
Amanda : You know what ? Let s let Jake wonder what I m doing for a change .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Bill : Sing it for me , Deacon . Say it like you mean it .
Deacon : Do nt push me . I said I ll do it . That does nt mean I have to have a smile on my face . The fact that I was never allowed to be a father to Hope is irrelevant . This is my daughter we re talking about .
Bill : Tell me when I m supposed to be touched .
Deacon : Hey , you know what , man ? I do nt give a damn what you think about me . But know this-- hurting my daughter was never anything that I wanted to do .
Brooke : This is nt the discussion we should be having .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Deacon is irrelevant in every sense of the word . You re going to Italy , honey , and you re going to be married . Now that is what you should be focusing on .
Hope : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Are nt you trilled ?
Hope : Yes , Mom , of course I am .
Brooke : You and Liam have been through so much to be together . It s been a challenging year .
Hope : Yeah , it has , but we -- we got through it , thanks to you and Dr. Barton , but there are issues that I m still dealing with ...
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Hope : And -- and I would like to be free of those when I become Liam s wife . And one of those big issues is my father .
Brooke : I made it very clear to you how I feel about you contacting him .
Hope : Well , Dr. Barton thinks I should .
Brooke : Dr. Barton does nt know what she s talking about . I feel very strongly about this , Hope . You stay away from Deacon Sharpe .
Marcus : Hey , Alison , have you see my-- Hey , Pop , hey , give me a call , man , when you get this message . I want to run something by you . Later .
Alison : Hey , Marcus . Need something ?
Marcus : Yeah , I was looking for my pop . You know where he is ?
Alison : Where else ? Making the world a better place with Bill Spencer , whatever it takes .
Deacon : Let me ask you something . Do you have a daughter ?
Bill : Son .
Deacon : How would it make you feel if you took part in a plan that you knew was designed to hurt him ?
Bill : This is nt about a choice I have to make , Deacon .
Deacon : Well , I ll tell you how it makes me feel-- like piece of garbage .
Bill : All right , well , turn me down , stay in this hellhole . Hey , at last I gave you something to feel noble about , right ?
Deacon : I ca nt stay here .
Bill : It s one or the other .
Deacon : I told you I ll do it . God help me .
Karen : Katie ?
Katie : Hey . Come on in .
Karen : How are you ?
Katie : I m great . I m good . Hi , I m Katie-- I have nt met you -- Bill s wife . ( Laughs )
Danielle : Danielle .
Karen : Hi .
Danielle : Hi .
Katie : Nice to meet you .
Karen : So where is Bill ?
Katie : Um , good question . Is he expecting you ?
Karen : Uh , yeah . We have a meeting .
Katie : He s probably tied up in something he s probably stuck in traffic . That s how we live our lives here in Los Angeles . ( Laughs ) But I can distract you with some happy news .
Karen : Let s hear it .
Katie : I am unexpectedly ecstatically pregnant . ( Chuckles )
Danielle : That s wonderful . Congratulations .
Karen : ( Gasps ) That s wonderful . Oh , my gosh .
Katie : Thank you . Yeah , it s pretty wonderful , is nt it ?
Brooke : Why would you want to see Deacon ? What has he ever done for you ?
Hope : He s my father .
Brooke : In no way that counts . ( Sighs ) All those years , Hope , he could have picked up the phone and tried to reach out to you , but he did nt .
Hope : Yeah , because you told him not to .
Brooke : You do nt want him in your life , trust me on that .
Hope : Do you really believe that having my real father abandon me does nt account for a ton of my issues ?
Brooke : How could Dr. Barton do this ? How could she encourage you to seek him out ?
Hope : She s trying to help me .
Brooke : Well , I m gon na have a conversation with her , believe me .
Hope : What , are you serious ?
Brooke : You know how much I love you .
Hope : Yes , of course .
Brooke : And you know I would never steer you wrong ...
Hope : Yes .
Brooke : Especially when I see you headed for heartbreak .
Hope : Yes .
Brooke : Well , then listen to me . You keep Deacon Sharpe out of your mind forever .
Deacon : Look , I agreed to do this , so what you say you hold up your end of the bargain and , uh , get me out of here , if you re able to deliver ?
Bill : ( Chuckles ) Boy , you ve got a lot to learn .
Deacon : Yeah , that s right . You re a -- you re a big man , huh , powerful and scary in mysterious ways ?
Bill : I would nt knock it , not when you stand to benefit .
Deacon : And all I ve got to do is break my daughter s heart .
Bill : Oh , you know what ? Why do nt you save the , uh , tortured father of the year routine ? Spare me the self - pity , and let s just make this deal . I will get you released , and you will go straight to Hope . You even think about screwing with me , and you will look back on this incarceration as though it were the good old days . Is there anything else we need to clear up , convict ?
Deacon : No , I think I ve got it .
Bill : Glad to hear it . Game on .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) Obviously , I did nt make myself clear . You promised you would leave me and Hope alone .
Deacon : Are you done ?
Brooke : Depends on whether or not you got the message .
Deacon : I heard you I - I heard you ask me to stay out of your life .
Brooke : This interference of yours has got to stop . You have to stop calling me . And if you as much as set foot at Forrester Creations , I m going to have you arrested . And I m not kidding . Now I expect you to be on a plane first thing tomorrow morning .
Deacon : You expect , you want , you demand ! You have the option of picking up the pieces and tying it up in some nice neat little package . Me , I m here , twisting in the wind .
Brooke : Well , maybe if you did nt start drinking ... ( sighs )
Deacon : ( Scoffs ) I started drinking because you left me with nothing .
Brooke : You agreed that moving away would be best for everybody .
Deacon : It was for you . I gave you everything , Brooke . And what thanks did I get from you , huh ? I get you looking at me like I m a piece of garbage .
Brooke : ( Gasps ) Oh , my God . Hope ! Oh , my God . Hope ! Oh ! Oh !
Deacon : Hey , baby . Oh , man , you look great .
Brooke : Give me the baby .
Deacon : She s so tiny . She s so beautiful , yes , just like her mother .
Brooke : I said give me my child .
Deacon : Oh , that s right . Hope is ... your child . But one day , she s gon na want to know her daddy .
Dr. Barton : No , just-- just change the appointment from 2 : 00 to 3 : 00 . And that sound be fine . Okay . I m sorry to keep you waiting .
Brooke : No , I -- it s okay .
Dr. Barton : You wanted to see me ?
Brooke : Yes .
Dr. Barton : Is everything with Hope all right ?
Brooke : Yes . ( Clears throat )
Dr. Barton : Okay .
Brooke : And I m her to make sure that she stays that way .
Dr. Barton : Okay . What can I do to help ?
Brooke : ( Sighs ) Stacy , uh , please ... ( sighs ) stop encouraging Hope to reach out to her biological father . Deacon Sharpe has no role in her life , and I do nt want that to change . I wo nt allow it .
Karen : Wow , my brother as a new daddy .
Katie : ( Chuckles )
Karen : Hmm . Just goes to show that you never know what surprises life has in store .
Katie : Yes , this is true . Bill thought he had a get out of jail free card . Liam shows up , and he s an adult-- no dirty diapers , no teenage angst , just Liam , fully grown .
Danielle : Somehow I ca nt imagine Bill Spencer at a changing table .
Karen : ( Laughs )
Katie : ( Laughs ) It s gon na happen . We are gon na share the responsibilities of this baby equally .
Karen : Katie , I m so thrilled for you ... and Bill . I mean , uh , maybe having little baby wrapped around his finger is just what he needs to soften the hard edges .
Katie : I think the edges are here to stay , but we all try to love him anyway .
Karen : Well , I want you to know that you can depend on me during this pregnancy .
Katie : Thank you . I will . I wo nt be shy . You know what ? This is weird . It-- it s not like Bill to schedule a meeting and then not show up . I m gon na give him a call and see what s going on .
Karen : Oh , do nt bother him .
Katie : Oh , it s no bother .
Bill : ( Sighs ) What s up , Katie ?
Katie : Hey . I could ask you the same question . Your sister and Danielle are in your office . Uh , they re waiting for a meeting that you scheduled .
Bill : Uh , yeah , listen , I m -- I - I m not gon na make that . I m locked up in another matter . Give her my apologies and - and have , uh , Alison reschedule .
Katie : Okay . Well , I guess I ll see you at home .
Bill : Okay . Got to go . I love you .
Katie : Bye .
Deacon : So wait a minute . What happens next ?
Bill : I ll be in touch when I m ready for you . Guard .
Deacon : ( Sighs )
Karen : So , um , I guess we re not meeting with Bill after all .
Katie : Yeah , I m sorry . You came all the way over her for noting .
Danielle : Not for nothing . We got to share in your excitement .
Katie : Oh , I m glad you did . There s something odd about this .
Karen : What ?
Katie : Well , at some point , Bill had to know that he was nt gon na make your meeting . Why did nt he call you ? I wonder what s going on .
Bill : Hey .
Justin : Hey , how did it go ?
Bill : It went .
Bill : Alison , how are things on your end ?
Alison : Katie s here .
Bill : Along with my sister and , uh , Danielle . Yeah , I - I - I spoke to her . What else ?
Alison : Marcus is looking for Justin .
Justin : Oh . Okay . Thanks . Ill -- Ill give him a call .
Bill : Is that it ?
Alison : Katie has that glint in her eye . I , uh , think she s going to interrogate me .
Bill : Well , you re up the task . You know what to say . I m looking for long- term investment opportunities .
Alison : That s quite awkward having to lie to her face .
Bill : Well , you re not literally lying . Besides that , that s why I pay you the big bucks .
Justin : Your mind is a scary place .
Bill : What did I do ?
Justin : Long - term investment opportunities .
Bill : Well , I ca nt very well say that I m ensuring Liam s future happiness by making sure that Hope is nt in it , can I ?
Hope : My father-- honestly , I do nt think about it much .
Dr. Barton : You do nt think about it , or you do nt allow yourself to think about it ?
Hope : He just-- you know , he -- he does nt matter to me . Ive -- Ive gone my whole life without him . It s been fine . ( Chuckles )
Dr. Barton : You really honestly think it s fine , you not knowing your father , given the circumstances ?
Hope : I just-- I do nt think we really need to ask about him .
Dr. Barton : Hope , I think it s important .
Hope : You know , I - I - I guess I am curious about him . And part of me wishes that he -- he wanted to know me .
Dr. Barton : Maybe he does .
Hope : No , he does nt . He -- he s never contacted me .
Marcus : Knock , knock .
Hope : Hi . Hey , Marcus .
Marcus : Hey . What you doing , thinking about dresses of satin and lace ?
Hope : Yeah . Among other things , yeah .
Marcus : Yeah . There sure is a lot of wedding planning going around here .
Hope : Mm - hmm . I know . It must be something in the water .
Marcus : Or love in the air . It s catchy , you know .
Hope : It is . You make it sound like a disease . ( Laughs )
Marcus : Well , it kind of sort of is , but not in our case .
Hope : Never . No . ( Chuckles )
Marcus : Oh , something tells me that there s more on your mind than just wedding plans .
Hope : Oh ... ( sighs ) um , I just had a - a little argument with my mom earlier . I m just -- it s bothering me .
Marcus : Nothing too serious , I hope .
Hope : My mom does nt forbid things , so when she does , it kind of gives me the feeling that ... this is serious .
Brooke : I know you mean well , and I know you have Hope s best interests at heart .
Dr. Barton : Well , yes , I do .
Brooke : Well , I m here to inform you , if she were to reach out to Deacon , that would nt be in her best interest . I know you do nt know Deacon and neither does my daughter , but he s very dangerous , and he s very destructive . And I think if my daughter were to contact him , it would open doors for disaster .
Dr. Barton : Well , I can see that you believe that , but could you tell me why ? Because in my professional opinion , Hope coming face - to - face with her father would be immensely advantageous to her emotional development . She s got a lot of issues where Deacon s concerned .
Brooke : Yes , but she would have even more issues if she were to seek him out . Stacy , you know that relationship that I had with him .
Dr. Barton : Yes , I know it started when he was married to your daughter Bridget .
Brooke : Yes . That was a terrible time in my life . And thankfully my daughter was able to forgive me .
Dr. Barton : Look , I know you re not the kind of person who would ever willingly hurt a child of yours . And that tells me that this man Deacon had an incredible connection or hold on you .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) I was very vulnerable , and he took advantage . He really has no conscience . He has no moral . And I do nt want him anywhere near my daughter .
Katie : Alison , can I see you for a second ?
Alison : ( Sighs ) Of course .
Katie : Did you know that Bill had a meeting with Karen and Danielle ?
Alison : Um , he does nt always tell me if he schedules something on his own .
Katie : Well , it s not like him to leave people hanging .
Alison : Bill s been preoccupied .
Katie : Yeah , I picked up on that . Is there something I should know about ?
Alison : Uh , no . He s looking into long - term investment opportunities
Katie : Hmm .
Dr. Barton : Well , obviously , you have your reasons for not wanting Hope to contact her father , but ... ( sighs ) Brooke , Hope s a grown woman . Ultimately , this is gon na be her call to make .
Brooke : I still have plenty of influence when it comes to my daughter . And I wo nt think twice about using it if I have to protect her .
Dr. Barton : What do you think Deacon s gon na do to Hope ?
Brooke : Lie to her , use her , manipulate her emotions . Please , Stacy , stop encouraging her . You think this might be helping , but it s not . You do nt know Deacon , how devastating he can be . If you really want to help Hope , convince her to run in the opposite direction .
Bill : It s crystal clear why Hope s such a whack job . This father of hers-- he s a piece of work .
Justin : ( Sighs )
Bill : You throw in Brooke s crazy D.N.A.-- poor kid did nt stand a chance .
Justin : ( Chuckles ) So what s the plan ? How does Deacon keep Hope from becoming Liam s wife ?
Bill : Well , let s just say he s finally going to take care of his daughter .
Justin : ( Grunts )
Marcus : You know , I would think Bill would come around knowing that the wedding was so soon .
Hope : Mm , I think I ve pretty much given up on ever having Bill s approval . ( Sighs )
Marcus : Hold that thought .
Hope : Yeah .
Marcus : Pop . Pop ?
Hope : Something wrong ?
Marcus : Yeah . Well , I can hear him , but he ca nt hear me .
Hope : Hmm . He probably pocket - dialed you . That happens all the time . What ?
Marcus : Well , he s with-- he s with Bill . They re talking about something .
Bill : Justin , I want that messed - up girl away from my son . This is how I make it happen .
Justin : Sabotage the wedding .
Hope : Marcus , what is it ? What are they saying ?
Bill : If my plan works , Hope will be out of Liam s life once and for all .
### Summary:
| Deacon begrudgingly tells Bill that he does nt have to like it , but yes he will do what Bill says . He ca nt stay here and he knows it s one or the other . He s not afraid of the big , powerful man but he does nt want to break his daughter s heart . Bill says game on ! Brooke argues with Hope that she does not need Deacon in her life and certainly not at her wedding . She demands that Hope stay away from him . Hope says he is her father and the fact that he abandoned her accounts for a lot of her issues . Brooke warns her again to keep Deacon Sharpe out of her forever . She sees Dr. Barton and emphatically tells her that she does not want Dr. Barton to continue to encourage Hope to see Deacon Sharpe . He s no good and not a part of her life and she wo nt allow this . Instead of helping Hope , her seeing him would only open up more unpleasant issues . Marcus calls his pop and leaves a voicemail that he wants to run something past him . Karen and Dani drop in on Bill but only find Katie in the office . She tells them her good pregnancy news . Bill checks in with Alison to make sure she is still doing what he pays her the big bucks for . She does nt have to actually lie to Katie by telling her he is looking for long term business investment possibilities . Brooke tells Dr. Barton that she does nt know Deacon , but if she did she would encourage Hope to run in the opposite direction . Through some quirk , Marcus can hear Justin and Bill speak on his I - phone while he s trying to call , but they ca nt hear him . He hears Bill say that if his plan works , Hope will be out of his son s life for good . |

Sharon : I assumed you d all be here . That s why I came .

Sharon : If you will just hear me out ...
Victoria : We had to put up with you when you hijacked the company , but not anymore , not after you trashed what our family has poured our blood into all of our lives .
Nick : All right , Vick , ease up . Sharon has something to say . Let s just let her say it .
Victoria : No . No . No .
Nick : There s no need for this to get out of hand .
Victoria : N - no reason ? ! She let us believe that Dad was dead . We had to put up with that mockery of a funeral .
Nick : She s not the only one who did that .
Victoria : She s the reason that we lost Newman Enterprises .
Sharon : You re right , Victoria . I did do all those things , all of those things , and that s why I m here tonight .
Nikki : Oh , really ? To gloat ?
Sharon : No , Nikki , to apologize .
Nikki : ( Scoffs )
Kevin : Tucker and Adam are so loaded , they wo nt even notice it s missing , right ? Pay off the loan , save the house . They would nt want Chloe and me to be homeless . ( Exhales slowly )
Kevin : What can I get for you ?
Man : Information .
Kevin : Uh , well , we serve coffee .
Man : Cup of coffee , then , and a side of information . You happen to know the whereabouts of Noah Newman ?
Kevin : Who wants to know ?
Man : N.Y.P.D.
Noah : Did you know about this ?
Adam : Not a thing .
Noah : Think she s gon na say something--
Adam : I do nt know .
Sharon : I understand why you d be skeptical , but I did nt come here to cause trouble . In fact , just the opposite . I came here to do the right thing .
Nikki : Really ? Do you even know what that is anymore ?
Victoria : The right thing is to leave . How many times do we have to ask ?
Nick : It really might be best if you leave .
Sharon : I ve already waited long enough to face all of you . This is one of the reasons why this is so difficult . I have done terrible things to this family , even more than you know .
Noah : Mom , Dad-- Dad and Nikki are right . I - I know you mean well , but this is really not the time .
Sharon : Honey--
Noah : Mom , it really is nt , okay ? So I ll just take you home .
Sharon : Noah , I have to do this , now ! ( Exhales sharply ) I - I feel terrible and ashamed for many of my actions and I wish that I could take them back , but I ca nt . All I can do is say that I m sorry for the pain that I ve caused your family , a family that I still consider to be my own .
Victoria : ( Scoffs ) Please .
Nikki : Oh , my God ! If you believe that , Sharon , you are delusional .
Victor : What angle are you working ? This sounds more and more like a con .
Sharon : I know it may sound like that . I do nt blame you for thinking that , because I ve lied to you and Ive -- Ive lied to everyone , but -- but I am here to do just as I said-- make amends .
Nikki : What really happened , Sharon ? Did you run away , and for the first time , nobody chased after you ? You finally realized that people are sick of being mistreated by you ? And now you get it-- they do nt care about you , Sharon . Yes , it is sad and very depressing to be all alone in the world , especially when you ve brought it on yourself , but that s what this is really about . That s why you re here tonight . You tried to make it on your own and you could nt do it , so now you re terrified , are nt you ?
Sharon : Well , I have to admit it has been difficult on me . Yes , I ca nt deny that , but that s not really what this is about . This is nt about me .
Nikki : Oh , my God , of course it s about you . It s always about you . You did nt hesitate , coming in here tonight and ruining everything .
Noah : Okay , Mom , you ve apologized . Really , it s -- it s all good .
Nick : Why do nt you let Noah take you home ?
Sharon : No , I m not leaving here until I m finished !
Victoria : Oh , I think you re already finished . Did you think you could just put on some fancy cocktail dress and crash our family celebration with your lame I m sorrys and oh , poof , everything would just be forgiven ?
Sharon : Well , I m -- Victoria , I realize that I-- I have a lot to make up for , and I - Ive done some terrible things , but I was sick ! I was nt myself ! Do you understand that ? ! I made mistakes , mistakes !
Noah : Okay , Mom , put your coat on . Let s go .
Sharon : No ! Noah , I need them to understand that--
Noah : Mom--
Sharon : I need them to understand what was going on . I want them to know that I did nt mean to hurt them ! I need to make them understand !
Noah : We need to go now . Dont -- dont say a word .
Sharon : I just want to make your father understand , and your grandfather , that I did nt mean to hurt them .
Nick : Sharon , we know . We know .
Victor : I do nt give a damn about your excuses , okay ?
Nikki : That makes two of us .
Victoria : You know , you can apologize from now until doomsday . You will never undo the damage that you ve done .
Sharon : Victoria , you-- you have to let me try .
Chelsea : Do nt even think about it . She knew what she was getting herself into . Maybe this will help her .
Adam : How can this help , Chelsea ?
Sharon : Do nt you understand how difficult this is for me ? I came here to apologize . I - Ive admitted that I was wrong , completely wrong !
Victor : Sharon , you re drunk . I asked you to leave . I will not ask you again .
Nikki : Look , you may think that Victor is too polite to physically throw you out , but trust me , I m not .
Nick : No one is throwing anyone out . Sharon is leaving , right ?
Victoria : Yeah , and why do nt you leave town while you re at it ? And stay gone this time . I do nt know why you bothered coming back in the first place .
Sharon : I - I came back for my kids . I had to come back for my kids .
Victoria : Oh , your children that you ve abandoned how many times now ?
Nick : Victoria , that s enough . That s enough .
Sharon : Victoria , I love my kids . They mean everything to me . I had my reasons for staying away !
Nikki : Oh , God , Sharon , what -- what is wrong with you ? Are you drunk ?
Sharon : No , I - I m -- I - I have nt had anything to drink .
Nikki : Well , something s off , cause you re not making any sense .
Noah : Okay , you re -- you re -- you re forgiven , Mom , okay ? Can -- can we just go now , please ?
Victoria : Yeah , Noah ... ( Clears throat ) Y - yeah , you can forgive her , but do nt presume to speak for the rest of us .
Adam : He speaks for me .
Victoria : Oh , really ? Really ? What did she ever do to you ?
Adam : Sharon , youve-- you ve done all you can here tonight . There s gon na be no more forgiveness .
Sharon : Well , I just wanted to-- I mean , I - I - I meant to--
Victor : Excuse me , I ve asked you to leave . Please get the hell out of here now . Now !
Sharon : No , I m leaving alone .
Noah : No , Mom--
Sharon : No , I do nt want you to see me like this !
Chelsea : Adam ! For the love of God .
Adam : We do nt know what she s capable of , okay ? I have to go .
Chelsea : Oh , my God , you re just gon na do what you want ...
Adam : No .
Chelsea : Like you always do . You re not even gon na listen to me .
Adam : I know that you do nt like this , and I understand , but I am doing the right thing , and you have to trust me .
Chelsea : Adam !
Kevin : New York ? What do you want with Noah ?
Man : Then you do know him .
Kevin : Well , there s a Noah who comes in here every once in awhile . I do nt really know him , though . Sorry .
Man : This Noah that comes in here every once in awhile , uh , you ever heard him talk about a woman named Adriana ?
Kevin : How would I have heard that ?
Man : Oh , maybe a phone call , conversation .
Kevin : ( Chuckles ) No , I do nt listen in on my customers phone calls .
Man : Oh , of course not . I was just hoping that maybe you inadvertently heard something .
Kevin : No , I d remember that , too .
Man : Why would you remember that ?
Kevin : Well , it s an odd name , Adriana . It would have stood out . Why are you looking at me like you do nt believe me ?
Man : Well , I m a detective . Do nt take it personal . I do nt believe anyone .
Kevin : Yeah , but why would I lie about that ?
Man : I ve been on the job 12 years . I ve learned that sometimes people do nt need a reason to lie . They just do . They just ca nt help themselves .
Kevin : Well , that s certainly not me .
Man : Ohh , that was good . Look , if this Noah you do nt know stops by ... give me a call .
Kevin : You got it .
Man : ( Clicks tongue )
Jack : Damn it , Adam ! Why is nt anything in the right place ? ( Breathing heavily ) Uh , hello , this is Jack Abbott . Could I speak to Dr. Carter , please ? No , this ca nt wait . I need to speak with him . If he s just leaving , that means he has nt left yet . Thank you . Dr. Carter , yeah , Jack Abbott . ( Chuckles ) Thank you for talking to me . I m glad I reached you before you left . I got a little bit of an emergency . I have a new assistant who lost the bag I keep my oxydycone in , and ... ( Chuckles ) Would you believe it ? My back is screaming at me right now . I just need a vial , enough to get me through till I find the bag . I - I - I realize I was just there a few days ago . Yes , I know the medication is very strong . It must be , because I m in some kind of agony . C - could you just-- just this once , just do me a favor and call in this prescription ? I m in pain now , Doctor . Unless you can see me in the next five minutes , setting up an appointment is nt gon na do anything . Do I have to maybe take this up with your chief of staff ? Forget it . Forget it ! Thanks for nothing . ( Breathing heavily )
Man : Just arrived in Genoa City . I m waiting on an address , but so far , no sign of him or the money .
Avery : Uh , white wine , please .
Carmine : Quite a show out there . You sure you do nt want anything stronger ?
Chelsea : I would .
Noah : I m going after her .
Nick : No .
Noah : She should nt be alone right now .
Nick : If you take off , there s bound to be more questions .
Noah : So handle them .
Nick : I do nt want to draw any more attention to your mother s mental state . If they find out what she s going through , it s just gon na give em more ammunition .
Nikki : Just when she d sunk lower than you d think anybody can sink ...
Victor : It s absolutely pathetic .
Victoria : Does anybody have Fairview on speed dial ?
Nikki : ( Chuckles )
Victoria : I m starting to think she s losing it again .
Victor : Mm .
Nick : You know , that s a lousy thing for you to say in front of Noah .
Nikki : You re right , Son . Forgive me , Noah , I did nt mean to be harsh .
Victor : Sorry , Son , what else do you want us to say to a woman who has done the things she has , hmm ?
Nick : Sharon showing up tonight was nt appropriate , but what exactly did she say that was so bad ? She apologized .
Victor : Son , you can not apologize for what Sharon has done . Some offenses are not forgivable .
Nick : Like me not fighting for Newman ? Is that what this is about ?
Victor : If that is what you think ...
Nick : Now you re just twisting my words .
Victor : You heard what I said about rebuilding the legacy of Newman . I meant every word of it . So when a crazy woman waltzes in here who has destroyed that legacy , I m not in a forgiving mood . I m not about to tolerate her games .
Nick : It s no game , all right ? Sharon s -- she is dealing with a lot right now .
Nikki : She said something about being sick . What did she mean by that ?
Sharon : God ! How could I be so stupid , stupid , stupid , stupid ? ( Exhales slowly )
Sharon : ( Sighs )
Nikki : So was Sharon ill ?
Nick : It s not my place to say .
Victoria : Meaning , she was .
Victor : What was the matter with her ?
Nick : The next time you see her , just cut her some slack , all right ? For her sake , and especially my kids .
Nick : ( Exhales slowly ) ( Groans )
Avery : Hey , you look like you re ready to go .
Nick : I m beyond ready .
Avery : Okay , I ll get our coats .
Nick : Thanks .
Victoria : Are you okay ?
Nick : He is never gon na change .
Victoria : Well , you know , Sharon crashing the party did nt really help matters , Nick . Do nt worry , I m not gon na pry .
Nick : Good .
Chelsea : Thank you so much for having me .
Victor : I m sorry that Adam had to run off so suddenly . I m sure he went after Sharon .
Chelsea : No doubt . I was hoping he would come back for me , but I m guessing he s not , so I should be going .
Victor : Oh .
Nikki : Well , wait . If -- if he took your car , how are you gon na get home ?
Chelsea : I ll just have your doorman call me a cab .
Victor : No , no , no , no , no . I will have my driver take you home , okay ?
Chelsea : That s not necessary .
Victor : No , I insist .
Nikki : It s the least we can do .
Chelsea : Thank you . That s very kind .
Victor : It ll be-- it ll be the-- it ll be the silver Bentley outside , okay ? Yes .
Chelsea : Your house is beautiful . I m sure you and Victor will be very happy here .
Nikki : Thank you .
Victor : Thank you .
Carmine : Oh , man . You see a lot of things in my line of work , but that scene that just happened right there-- that was free entertainment .
Noah : What do you mean ?
Carmine : Oh , come on , man , it s like a reality show around here . The one thing I have learned since I have moved to this town is that the classier they dress , the nastier they fight , and your mom Sharon-- whoo - hoo , man . I-- yeah , that s got ta be a handful growing up with that , man . Hey , whoa !
Adam : I m glad you re all right .
Sharon : Yeah , am I ?
Adam : You re home . You re safe .
Sharon : Yeah , and I managed not to burn down any more houses on the way home , so that s a plus , right ?
Adam : Those days are behind you , Sharon . You ve come so far .
Sharon : Adam , just-- no , stop , please . Look , we ve been down this road before . You -- you have got to stop being my savior , I need to stop depending on you , so just -- just say your good - byes and -- and please go .
Adam : I m not going anywhere . You need a friend .
Jack : Thank you for coming by . You re a lifesaver , Ed .
Ed : Since you re not my patient , this is highly unethical .
Jack : Well , I think I explained over the phone . My pills have gone missing , and my normal doctor is unnecessarily paranoid about giving me a refill . I guess Memorial s really coming down on the doctors there . Anyway , since you re in private practice , I thought maybe you could come through for an old buddy .
Ed : All doctors need to be vigilant about prescribing controlled substances . There are very good reasons for this , Jack .
Jack : I just -- I just need enough to get through to the next visit . 30 would do the trick . Okay , h - how about just ten ?
Ed : Look , I m sorry . I do nt feel right about this .
Jack : Is that maybe enough to ease your conscience ?
Ed : ( Sighs )
Noah : Take back what you said !
Nick : Whoa , whoa , whoa ! We got a problem here ?
Carmine : No , man ! This guy just pushed me for no good reason .
Noah : Really ? You want me to talk about your mom ?
Nick : All right .
Victor : That s it !
Noah : I - I m sorry . I cant-- I - I ca nt be here right now .
Victor : Take this money and get out of here , and do nt you ever start a ruckus in my house again . Take the money now .
Carmine : ( Sighs )
Nikki : ( Sighs ) I am so sorry the party did nt turn out as I had hoped . I would have enjoyed talking more to you , Avery . Maybe next time .
Avery : Yes . I look forward to it .
Nikki : Okay .
Nick : Night , Mom .
Nikki : Good night , Sweetheart . Drive safely .
Nick : I always do .
Victoria : Hey , Mom . I m taking off , too .
Nikki : Ohh , Baby . I feel terrible . I m sorry .
Victoria : Oh , do nt . You know , it should have been a lovely party , but it certainly was nt your fault that it was nt .
Nikki : Oh , well , I know you had reservations about coming , and I am glad that you came .
Victoria : Yeah , Mom , I do nt want to hurt your feelings when I say that I wish I would have just stayed home .
Nikki : ( Sighs ) Believe me , I understand .
Victoria : ( Chuckles )
Nikki : I get it . I just hope that going home to Billy is nt gon na upset you even more . I ll hold good thoughts for you .
Victoria : I love you .
Nikki : I love you , too .
Victoria : Okay . Good night .
Nikki : All right .
Victoria : Bye .
Nikki : ( Sighs )
Victor : Ahh .
Nikki : Hey .
Victor : Well , that was a hell of a party , was nt it ?
Nikki : Mm .
Victor : What happened ?
Nikki : Well , everybody went home .
Victor : Because of Sharon .
Nikki : Uh , Darling , I think , uh , part of it was because of you , as well .
Nick : It was nt a family gathering . It was a blood sport .
Avery : Well , Victor s Victor . What are you gon na do ?
Nick : Remind me , next time I get an invitation , to say no . I m sorry I dragged you to that . Your first instinct was right .
Avery : Ahh .
Nick : We never should have gone .
Avery : Well , Nick , if there s one thing that I have learned from personal experience , no family is perfect , you know ? It was nt pretty , what happened tonight , but we will all live to fight another day . ( Chuckles )
Nick : So I have nt scared you off ?
Avery : Not even close .
Noah : ( Sighs ) ( Sighs ) ( Exhales sharply ) ( Exhales sharply ) I was hoping you d pick up . I just want to hear your voice , know you re okay . You re okay , right ? This -- this place is killing me . I - I -- nothing ever changes . I m thinking about just leaving , just getting in the truck , driving away ... but I wo nt . I wo nt , because you need me , and I will be here for you , Mom .
Adam : The family was harsh with you . I m sorry they re like that .
Sharon : The worst part , for me , was Noah . He was so uncomfortable , having me there , and I just could nt stop myself .
Adam : Noah s a big boy , okay ? The move that you made-- it was a courageous , positive move . He understands that . So do I.
Sharon : But I think it was more reckless and impulsive .
Adam : No , you -- you showed up to make amends , okay ? You believed that that was possible , all right ? And -- and they just were nt ready for that . In their eyes , you-- you pushed too far , too fast .
Sharon : ( Sighs ) And everything blew up in my face . Gosh , I ve just made everything worse . You know , I - I almost told them what was wrong with me , but I just could nt . I could nt say the words and ... ( Sighs ) I really messed up . I should have never gone there .
Adam : No , no , no , look-- look at me . You made a mistake , okay ? That s all it is . Just a mistake . The next time you have an idea like that , you just run it by Dr. Watkins .
Sharon : You know , and that just never occurred to me . It s like this idea just popped into my mind and I thought , hey , that -- that s perfect . Group apology . I ll show up at the party , and that ll solve everything . Why did I think that would work ? I used to be able to think things through before I acted . I mean , where did that go ? What s happened to me ? Am I gon na have to question every decision I make for the rest of my life ?
Adam : No , you-- Sharon , you re gon na get your life back , okay ? This -- you re gon na get through this .
Sharon : No , no , no , no . Adam , I can not keep relying on you like this . You need to go now . Now !
Ed : ( Sighs )
Jack : Ed , I can not thank you enough .
Ed : Do nt call me again .
Kyle : Jeez . Mr. Personality . Who was that guy , anyway ?
Jack : Oh , a guy from the club . I m doing a little business with him .
Kyle : You work too hard .
Jack : How was dinner ?
Kyle : It was fine . Did you eat anything ?
Jack : Kyle , I think you would be amazed at how well your father can take care of himself .
Kyle : Fine . Well , I ll be upstairs if you need anything .
Victoria : ( Sighs )
Billy : ( Humming )
Alex : Noah Newman ?
Noah : Yeah .
Alex : Detective Alejandro Chavez , N.Y.P.D. Can I come in ?
Noah : Yeah , yeah .
Alex : Thanks .
Noah : Um , I m sorry , why-- why would you come all the way from New York to find me ?
Alex : Adriana Vega .
Noah : Uh , what about her ?
Alex : When s the last time you spoke to her ?
Noah : Uh , you know , it s -- it s been awhile , not since I left New York .
Alex : So she has nt called you since ?
Noah : No , no . Why ? Wh - what s she done ?
Alex : Uh , Adriana s connected to a case I m working on . You live here by yourself ?
Noah : Uh , no , I - I live here with my -- my dad and my sisters .
Alex : Oh . Is this a barn ? Yeah , I - I mean no disrespect , but I m from Queens , and it , you know , I ve never seen a place like this .
Noah : It s a-- it s a remodeled tack house .
Alex : What does that mean ?
Noah : It s where they used to keep the equipments for the , uh , the horses-- the saddles , bridles .
Alex : So ... a barn .
Noah : Yeah .
Alex : ( Clears throat )
Noah : Um , listen , Detective Ale -- is -- is there anything else I can help you with ?
Alex : So were you and Adriana dating ?
Noah : ( Chuckles ) Uh , I mean ... ( Chuckles ) You know .
Alex : N - no , I do nt . That s -- that s why I m asking .
Noah : I mean , it s New York , you know ? People do nt really go on dates . They just sort of occupy the same space .
Alex : ( Laughs ) Yeah . So did -- did you and her occupy the same space ?
Noah : We were close , uh , yeah , but it did nt really end very well . Have nt seen her since .
Alex : Hmm . So you have nt called her ? If -- if I were to pull phone records , they d support that ?
Noah : No , no , I - Ive called her . I call -- I called her today .
Alex : Oh .
Noah : I keep leaving her messages and she keeps not calling me back .
Alex : Oh . Did nt end well , huh ?
Noah : Yeah . Uh , listen , Detective , Id -- Id really love to help you out here , but ... have nt spoken to her in months .
Alex : Okay . I appreciate your help .
Noah : Yeah .
Alex : Thanks a lot , Noah .
Noah : You re welcome .
Alex : Oh , um , listen , if she calls , I need to know .
Noah : Uh , yeah . Yeah , no problem .
Nick : That smells amazing .
Avery : Well , three rules to live by-- butter is our friend , there is no such thing as too much garlic , and bacon makes everything taste better , or in this case , diced pancetta .
Nick : Mom had a whole feast laid out , but who could eat with all the drama ?
Avery : Yeah , that s not good for the digestion .
Nick : You know , I really want to thank you .
Avery : Well , you know that cooking is therapeutic for me . I m doing this as much for myself .
Nick : I m not talking about the food , although I ca nt wait to try what you re making . I m really grateful for everything you do for me . I appreciate the way you put yourself out there for me , and I only hope I can do as much in return .
Avery : Well , I have no complaints . Hey . You seem really deep in thought .
Nick : ( Sighs ) I ve just really been thinking about what I m gon na do with my life , and after tonight , it completely solidified my decision . Avery , I m so done with Newman Enterprises .
Victor : What are you saying ? I ruined the party ?
Nikki : I m saying that even if Sharon had nt darkened our doorstep , the results would have been the same-- a very short - lived gathering .
Victor : So what do you think I did ?
Nikki : Oh , come on , Victor , you know what I m thinking .
Victor : I have nothing to apologize for , my darling , okay ?
Nikki : You are up to your old tricks , trying to use Adam to get our kids to fight for Newman Enterprises .
Victor : For your information , this had nothing to do with either Nicholas or Victoria . This was all about giving Adam a false sense of security . Okay ?
Nikki : Okay .
Victor : See you in the morning .
Nikki : I m going to bed .
Adam : Sharon , you need to calm down . You need to calm down--
Sharon : I asked you to leave !
Adam : I know what you re asking me , but you need to calm down and just count to ten . Close your eyes . Relax for a second , okay ?
Sharon : Adam , we made rules . We set boundaries .
Adam : All right , listen , Noah said that you should nt be alone , and I happen to agree with him on this . You need to just calm down . You do nt need to--
Sharon : Oh , God . Now you re pushing my buttons . Do nt use my son to get to me . You think I do nt know you re doing that ?
Adam : I m not pushing your buttons and I m not using your son , Sharon ! I genuinely care !
Sharon : I do nt want you here . I do nt want you here ! Get out ! Adam , I mean it ! Get out ! ( Sobs )
Adam : Hey , I care about you , and you do nt need to be alone . Sharon , hey ! Hey , Sharon . Sharon . Sharon ! Sharon , you need to calm down .
Summer : Chelsea is always gon na hate me . So are you and Mom .
Chelsea : It s not what I think ? You son of a bitch .
Sharon : They think I m crazy .
Noah : No . Who cares what they think , okay ? It s not true .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Anthony : So Michael Corinthos III , do you know who I am ?
Michael : Anthony Zacchara , Claudia and Johnny s father .
Anthony : And Sonny , my former son - in - law , is your father . Of course , that s not the only thing we have in common . What s that expression , 6 degrees of separation ?
Michael : What do you want ?
Anthony : I have sympathy for your situation . It s no fun being sent to Pentonville under any circumstances , but when your name is Corinthos , that s a death sentence . Fortunately , you have a friend .
Jason : Your father agreed to protect Michael as long as you stay safe .
Johnny : So you re my new guardian angel now .
Jason : Please , Johnny , do nt take any chances . I mean , Michael s life is depending on this .
Lulu : Jason is gon na kill Dante unless you stop him .
Sonny : How am I supposed to do that ?
Lulu : I do nt know . Jason s your enforcer . You figure it out , or the son that you claim to love is gon na be dead .
Carly : You know , it s funny . You would think with all the time I spent with Jason , I d know something about guns . I m sure I know how to point and shoot . Oh , but Jason , well , you know , he s lethal with or without a gun . You should take this . You just may need it .
Dante : What s the point in carrying around a gun if Jason s as lethal as you say he is ? I might as well just sit back and wait for the inevitable .
Carly : Yeah , but if anyone can stop him , you can , right ? The dedicated cop going after criminals no matter who they turn out to be . And the law s always right , so that makes you right .
Dante : Well , I was nt this time . I was wrong , right ?
Carly : Oh , you knew what was best for Michael . You . You did .
Dante : I ca nt even believe my arrogance , okay ? When I look back on it , thinking that Michael s testimony and my powers of persuasion would be enough to make the judge not put Michael in prison , I mean-- I m sorry for playing with Michael s life like that .
Carly : You re sorry ? You re sorry now .
Dante : Jason wants revenge . I m not just gon na sit back and let him kill me , but I understand why he feels the need . He has every right to blame me , and so do you , and so does Sonny .
Carly : I hate what you did , but you re not to blame for Michael being in Pentonville . I am .
Sonny : Believe me , I do nt want Dante to die , but Jason does nt care what I think at this point .
Lulu : If you tell Jason not to lay a hand on Dante--
Sonny : I already did , back when I trusted Dante to do the right thing and not turn Michael in , and that was my mistake .
Lulu : He wants to help Michael .
Sonny : Dante told the court that Michael killed Claudia , and now what ? Michael s getting 5 years in pri--5 years !
Lulu : Dante is tearing himself up about this . He s devastated . Does that not count for something ?
Sonny : You re not gettin this . Jason was the one who took Carly to the hospital when Michael was born . He devoted himself to Michael . When Carly got pregnant , he stepped aside and let us give him a great life . Look at the great life that we ve given him . I ve exposed Michael to violence and--
Lulu : Then stop the violence . If you feel terrible about it , just tell Jason not to kill Dante .
Sonny : Okay , look . For you , Lulu , I m gon na remind Jason , okay , that Dante is my son and that he s an honest , good person just tryin to do the right thing , but here s the deal . Jason is best at what he does , and when he has it in his head to kill Dante , no one s gon na stop him .
Jason : You know , all that stuff you said in court about Claudia regretting getting Michael shot , you can carry that out for her . If you just be safe , you stay out of trouble , Michael s gon na stay safe , Johnny .
Johnny : All right , look , what happened to Michael was a perversion of justice . It makes me sick .
Jason : Okay . Then help Michael now .
Johnny : You re right about my father , all right . He s gon na keep his word . He s going to protect Michael in order to protect me . It s a little ironic , is nt it , how Sonny s the one who should be payin the consequences for my sister s death and I was willing to risk my life in order to get revenge , and now I got a free pass ? I can do whatever the hell I want . I can steal Sonny s shipments . I can undermine his organization , whatever . He ca nt stop me .
Jason : So you re gon na use Michael for payback ?
Johnny : No , not at all . Consider this full disclosure . I m gon na come at Sonny with everything I got . How he handles that , whether he decides to retaliate , that s on him .
Jason : But this whole thing started when Michael got shot because of your sister . Michael s suffered enough because of your family .
Johnny : You re right , and I got nothin but empathy for Michael . And I honestly do respect the lengths you go to to protect that kid , but Sonny s not gon na hide behind either of you . It s time that he pays for what he s done , and I m not gon na stop until I break him .
Anthony : You have the dubious honor of living here for the next few years . I m sure you re feeling a little , shall we say , uneasy with that arrangement , as well you should .
Michael : What do you mean I have a friend ?
Anthony : You ll be under my protection . I m not without a certain influence in Pentonville .
Michael : Why would you do this ? You hate my father .
Anthony : True . Why should that hatred extend to you ?
Michael : You know what I m in for .
Anthony : Ah , yes , the demise of my poor daughter Claudia .
Michael : It was an accident , but I m still responsible f--
Anthony : Claudia was a disgrace to the Zacchara name . She got what was coming to her , and she got it long before you ever took a swing at her to protect your mother and newborn sister . How old are you , Michael ?
Michael : 18 .
Anthony : You re just a kid with your whole life ahead of you . I feel compassion for your situation , hence my generosity .
Michael : Jason said he was making arrangements for my safety .
Anthony : Heh . You do nt think I did this out of the kindness and generosity of my heart ? I m wounded .
Michael : Jason came to see you , did nt he ?
Anthony : Yes . We have an arrangement . You ll be under my protection , and in return , Jason will guarantee the safety of my son John , no easy task . Johnny has a reckless streak . For your sake , I hope he does nt get into trouble , but if he does , I m gon na throw you to my enemies . That s gon na be fresh meat for a pack of hungry wolves .
Carly : When I got involved with Sonny , Michael was a baby . I fell in love , and I wanted Sonny to be Michael s father , despite the fact that he was involved in organized crime and lived in a violent world . I told myself that Sonny was a wonderful and caring father and that s all that mattered and it made it okay . And the reason Michael is in prison , it s my fault , because I brought him into that world . Your mom knew better . At 15 years old , she was smarter than me . She kept you away from Sonny so you would nt have to go through the hell Michael s going through right now .
Dante : Hindsight s 20/20 , right ?
Carly : Ah , I did nt see what was right in front of me . I mean , I hate that you told the court that Michael killed Claudia , but I think I was angriest at myself .
Dante : You should be angry at me .
Carly : You love Michael and Morgan . I think that s why I liked you from the start . You were always so wonderful and kind to Morgan .
Dante : It was easy . He s a great kid . I ve broken his trust probably for good , all because I was so sure I could fix Michael s life . Hell of a job I did , right ?
Carly : This is nt your fault . You should nt blame yourself because of what I did to my son . I ll talk to Jason . I ll tell him to leave you alone . He listens to me when it comes to Michael , so you re safe .
Coleman : Evenin , Detective .
Lucky : Evening .
Coleman : Your mood looks a little less than celebratory , man .
Lucky : Yeah . I just finished supervising a prisoner transfer , my cousin Michael . 18 years old , brain - damaged from a bullet meant for his father , and now he s got five years in Pentonville for killing Claudia by accident .
Coleman : Yeah , it s all over the news . I feel for the kid , man . I was on his old man s jury , and I been kickin myself for getting booted off . I would have voted to acquit , you know . Sonny would have walked , and Michaeld be free .
Lucky : Nah , it would have been too easy . Dante and I had to haul Michael in to tell the truth . We had this naive notion that justice would be upheld , that the system would work and all that garbage . Now Michael s in Pentonville facing God knows what .
Coleman : Life s a bitch , man .
Lucky : Yeah , you got that right . I ll have scotch , straight up .
Coleman : Okay .
Lucky : Thanks .
Coleman : Uh - huh .
Maxie : Are you sure you wanna do that ?
Maxie : I know I m not the one who should preach , but maybe before diving headfirst off the wagon , you should think about all you stand to lose .
Lucky : It s none of your business , Maxie .
Maxie : You seemed pretty committed to your recovery . Until you started drinking because of Elizabeth and Nikolas , not that you need that reminder .
Lucky : No , I do nt , but thanks for the reminder .
Maxie : Why are you drinking tonight ?
Lucky : If you must know , it s because I fear I m the man my dad warned me I d become , a mindless , rule - following , self - righteous drone .
Carly : Morgan s with me . Love , Jax .
Lulu : Carly , I know that you re upset about Michael going to prison . We all are . This is horrible , and I swear to you that this is the last thing that Dante ever wanted .
Carly : You re here about Dante .
Lulu : I just know that you re furious with Dante because you think that he betrayed Michael , but that s honestly the opposite of what he intended . He loves Michael . He thought that the truth was gon na save him and get him away from Sonny and the mob . And that s what you wanted , too , right , for Michael to have a chance at a better life ?
Carly : Yeah , it is .
Lulu : I just know that Dante had only the best intentions , and it s the judge s fault that everything is so messed up right now . I mean , Dante was stunned with the ruling . I mean , you saw him in court . He got up , and he tried to get the judge to reconsider . And now Jason needs to make someone pay , and he s gon na kill Dante , and I just know that you re the only person who could do anything .
Carly : Stop .
Lulu : I m begging you .
Carly : Just stop .
Lulu : Please .
Carly : I came from seeing Dante . I told him I will not let Jason hurt him .
Dante : Hey , Mom .
Olivia : My baby . How you doin ?
Dante : Well , a hell of a lot better than Michael s doin .
Olivia : Honey , you can not blame yourself for this .
Dante : Who else is there to blame ? I mean , I m the flippin know - it - all that waltzed into court , thought he could fix Michael s life single - handedly and then tried to influence the outcome of a trial . I mean , talk about arrogance .
Olivia : There is no person alive that could have predicted that the judge was gon na be this tough .
Dante : Yeah , you re right . You re right . No one could predict that . Michael s fate was not in my hands . I was a fool to think it was . I mean , you know what ? I m worse than a fool . I betrayed Michael s trust . I m a traitor to my own family . I mean , Sonny and Jason and Carly , I m exactly what they accused me of .
Olivia : Do nt say that , Dante . That s not true .
Dante : You know , now Michael s locked up with a bunch of freaks who are standing in line so they can get a piece of Sonny Corinthos kid . You know , Jason comes gunning for me , it s the least I deserve .
Olivia : Do nt say that . If you think that I m gon na stand around and watch you throw your life away , kid , you got another think comin .
Dante : Ma , look , you do nt have to gear up to fight anybody right now , okay ? You already saved my life tonight .
Jason : I ve reached an agreement with Anthony Zacchara . He s gon na protect Michael in Pentonville , but in return , I have guaranteed Johnny s safety .
Sonny : Is Johnny aware of the arrangement ?
Jason : I just told him .
Sonny : Okay , look , as long as he knows to stay out of my way and keep his mouth shut , do nt interfere with my business , does nt defy me in any way -- what choice do we have ?
Jason : Okay , Johnny Zacchara is untouchable right now . It does nt matter what he does .
Sonny : Well , that s not acceptable .
Jason : What are you talk -- Sonny , Anthony is protecting Michael . I mean , we re talking about Michael here , who just got sent to prison today , an 18-year - old boy surrounded by your enemies , my enemies , every freak in Pentonville . The kid does nt know how to defend himself , because I never bothered to do it , because I did nt think we d be in this situation , but we are . Michael is in prison , and he s gon na stay safe . I do nt care if Johnny Zacchara walks in here and burns your freakin house down . You re not gon na touch him .
Sonny : So you ca nt punish me , so Johnny s gon na punish you for me .
Jason : This is not about you ! It s about Michael and what we ve done to this kid ! You know what ? Just leave Johnny alone . That s all I m sayin .
Sonny : Okay , you know what ? For Michael , I ll take Johnny to the opera . But you know what ? You do something for me . Leave Dante alone .
Sonny : Michael is my son , the one I raised , the one who carries my name , and I love him with all my heart , and I hate what Dante did to him . It sickens me , but I m not gon na ignore that Dante is also my flesh and blood , and I ll deal with Dante my way . You leave him alone .
Jason : You wanted Ethan dead because you thought he beat up Kristina . We re talkin one beating from Ethan . We re talkin 2 years in prison minimum for Michael .
Sonny : But Dante s not the only one responsible . What about the judge ? What about Claire Walsh ? How many times did we tell Michael not to confess ? We explained the reasons , and who did he tell the truth to ? Dante . That s it .
Jason : Michael told the truth to protect you , Sonny .
Sonny : Just like I went to trial to protect him , but these are my sons . Let me deal with them .
Jason : Dante lied to you . He lied to everybody else . It s ridiculous how you re protecting this guy .
Sonny : I already told you I hate what he did . Does not mean I m gon na let you kill him .
Jason : What you do is what you pay for .
Sonny : Mm - hmm .
Jason : You remember that ? I mean , that s the first thing that you taught me . Does nt matter what you intended . It matters what you did . Freakin Dante gave Michael up to the court , got him sent to prison . I do nt care if Dante s your son . He hurt Michael , and he s gon na pay for that .
Sonny : Okay , so if you kill Dante , I ll kill you , or you ll kill me . Where does that leave Michael ?
Jason : Did you get to see Michael before he left ?
Sonny : No .
Jason : Neither did I.
Dante : Carly was here tonight .
Olivia : I ca nt imagine that was pleasant .
Dante : She told me she blames herself for what happened to Michael , that she wishes she never let Sonny raise him . I mean , then she told me she admired you , that you kept it a secret that Sonny was my father , that you raised me away from the mob .
Olivia : You serious ?
Dante : I mean , I was certainly surprised , but she seemed genuine . I mean , she does nt like what I did to Michael , but she certainly puts herself at fault , so she s gon na talk to Jason , try and convince him to leave me alone , so I m safe .
Olivia : You sound disappointed .
Dante : It s not like I have a death wish or anything , but I m so pissed off at what I did to Michael , I d almost welcome a shootout with Jason right now .
Olivia : Okay . Okay , honey , now you re startin to scare me . This is--
Dante : If it was nt for me , Michael would be free .
Olivia : Yeah , and even his mother can see that you re not the one to blame . She blames herself for lettin Sonny into Michael s life . Honey , Sonny is the problem here , not you . All you did was uphold the law and try to protect your brother . You ca nt blame yourself that the judge ruled the way he did , and I do nt want you questioning what you did .
Carly : You were right . I was furious , and I needed a scapegoat , and Dante fit the bill . And now I realize that the truth was just too hard for me to face . When Michael was a baby , I was the one who brought him into Sonny s world . I m the one who wanted to raise him around Sonny . The people responsible for Michael going to prison is Jason , Sonny , most of all , me .
Lulu : But you hate that Dante turned in Michael as Claudia s killer .
Carly : Yeah . I wish he would have chosen differently . I wish you would have chosen differently , but it would be cowardly of me to blame you and Dante . It s on me , and I ll tell that to Jason , so Dante s safe .
Lulu : Thank you so , so much . I can not even begin to explain to you how much this means to me . And I know I ve said it , like , a hundred times , but I m really , really sorry for what s happened . I feel terrible about Michael . I know that Dante does , too .
Carly : I know . I know that .
Lulu : And Dante never for a second wanted Michael to be in prison . I mean , he meant every single word that he said in court when he tried to get the judge to change the sentence .
Carly : I wish the judge would have listened .
Lulu : You can appeal , right ?
Carly : We re gon na do everything we can , yeah .
Lulu : You mean so much to me , you and Michael , and you re family . I just would never wanna do anything to hurt you .
Carly : I know that , and I m sorry that I lashed out at you before .
Lulu : Oh , God , I totally understand . I m just , like-- I m so happy that we re getting past this .
Carly : Me , too . Go . Go tell Dante that we talked , okay ?
Lulu : Thank you so much . Thank you .
Carly : You re welcome .
Lucky : You know , Michael would be free right now if I had nt have gone all law - and - order and hauled him in . I mean , Jason begged me not to , and I did nt listen .
Maxie : Well , do nt beat yourself up over that one . Lots of us do nt listen to Jason . And I m sorry to break up your pity party , but you re giving yourself way too much credit for what happened with Michael . I mean , it was terrible , but we only played bit parts in that tragedy . The lead roles go to Sonny and Carly and Jason .
Lucky : Ah , you got a way of cuttin to the chase , do nt you ?
Maxie : I ll take that as a compliment . So you can drink that if you want , but do nt blame it on Michael s problems .
Lucky : I m not gon na throw my own pity party . Not tonight .
Maxie : Good . Let s play pool .
Lucky : All right . You re on .
Lucky : Hello .
Elizabeth : Hey , Lucky . It s me . I know you have off tonight and so do I , so I was wondering if you wanted to meet me and the boys at Kelly s for dinner .
Lucky : Thanks for the offer , but I m gon na pass .
Elizabeth : Does that mean you already have plans ?
Lucky : Yeah . I m at Jake s .
Maxie : Lucky , come over here and grab a pool cue .
Elizabeth : Is that Maxie ?
Lucky : Yeah . Listen , just give Cam and Jake my love and tell em that I ll call em before bedtime and I ll see em tomorrow .
Elizabeth : Okay , Lucky . Have fun at Kelly s .
Woman on P.A. : Radiology , 2705 . Radiology ...
Maxie : Watch and learn .
Lucky : Learn from you ? Who s ahead in this game ?
Maxie : I will be once I make this shot .
Elizabeth : Well , are nt you the gift that keeps on giving ?
Maxie : I do nt really know what your problem is .
Elizabeth : Is nt it bad enough that you got Lucky hooked on pills ? Now you ve got him drinking . What , is that the only way you can get him into bed ?
Lucky : Elizabeth , you re way off base .
Elizabeth : Why do you fall for this ? Oh , one disaster was nt enough ?
Lucky : It s root beer .
Maxie : I ll bet you re wishing you were anywhere but here right now , so we can just skip to the part where you apologize .
Elizabeth : I m sorry for jumping to the wrong conclusion . But do nt you think it s a bad idea to be hanging out in a bar with a girl who used to be your drug supplier ?
Sonny : What are you praying for ?
Olivia : That Michael will be safe , be released from prison , that somehow this whole thing will be made right .
Sonny : From your lips to God s ears .
Olivia : Yeah . I just ca nt stop thinkin about Carly , how she must feel , and I know if that was me , my mind would just be goin to every worst - possible - case scenario , you know , imagining my child s pain and despair and wanting so badly to comfort him and tell him that everything was gon na be all right , but just being helpless .
Sonny : Helpless is something Carly s not good at . Neither am I.
Olivia : You know , Carly s come to a terrible realization .
Sonny : What do you mean ?
Olivia : She went over to see Dante today , and she says she blames herself more than anyone for this . Sonny , she regrets ever lettin you into his life , lettin you be Michael s father , and she said she s gon na talk Jason out of whatever kind of revenge he s got planned .
Sonny : Well , the truth is Dante s not to blame . I am .
Carly : I saw him tonight . I went over to his loft , and there he was staring at his badge and his gun , like somehow they had betrayed him , you know , like that badge is the reason why Michael s in prison . It could nt be dedicated , honorable Dante s fault . So I picked up the gun , and I put my finger on the trigger .
Jason : Carly .
Jason : Did anyone see you enter or leave the loft ? Was any--
Carly : He s fine . He s fine . And he s probably feelin pretty good about himself right now . I mean , I was brilliant , Jason . I took a page right out of Dante s book . I told him everything he wanted to hear , how it s not his fault that Michael s in prison , it s all on me because I chose to be with Sonny and I brought Michael into this dangerous life . Do nt worry . I did nt lay it on too thick . I told Dante how much I hated that he turned Michael in . But I got ta tell you the hardest part was not letting Dante know how much I despise him .
Jason : You do nt have to worry about Dante .
Carly : And then there s Lulu . Man , it was priceless . She came over here tonight because she wants me to stop you . I m supposed to ask you to keep away from Dante .
Jason : Okay . You asked .
Carly : I went to Lulu s apartment that night . Do you remember ? Do you remember when we found out that Dante was hiding Michael and I went over there and I begged her to tell me where Michael was ? I begged her to keep Michael safe ...
Jason : Mm - hmm .
Carly : And she chose Dante . But now she s knockin on my door , and she s begging me to look out for Dante . I m supposed to be loyal to Lulu . I m supposed to be merciful to Lulu because Dante s such a nice guy , because she s so in love with Dante , because Dante was only doing his job . Heh . I told Lulu that Dante would be safe and that you would nt hurt him .
Jason : Carly .
Carly : And you re not going to . You re not going to lay one finger on that son of a bitch or his back - stabbing girlfriend . You re gon na leave Dante and Lulu alone , because I m gon na make em suffer just like Michael s suffering .
Dante : Is that why you went to Carly , cause you re pleadin my case ?
Lulu : Um , not just Carly s . I went to Sonny s and begged him to talk to Jason , and then I went to Carly s .
Dante : Huh . My protector , huh .
Lulu : I love you . I have no intention of losing you .
Maxie : You re the one who was bed hopping between Lucky and Nikolas without bothering to use birth control , so I think it s a little late to play morality police .
Elizabeth : Well , at least I really am pregnant . I m not faking it like you did with Lucky . And you re back for more ?
Lucky : It s not like that , Elizabeth .
Elizabeth : Do nt be so naive . She ll have you convinced that it s okay to have just one drink .
Lucky : I was about to have a scotch , and Maxie stopped me , okay ? Look , I know you mean well , but maybe we do nt need to monitor each other quite so closely .
Elizabeth : Okay . Great . Great . Yeah , the next time you wanna rescue me , please do nt . I can take care of myself .
Lucky : I have a right to be concerned about Helena .
Elizabeth : Helena s not gon na bother me . I m carrying her great - grandchild .
Lucky : You have no idea what she s gon na do . The woman s crazy . And if she bothers you again , I want you to tell me . I m serious .
Elizabeth : Have a nice game .
Maxie : Well , Lucky , there might just be hope for you yet . 6 ball , corner pocket .
Jason : How was Michael when you saw him ?
Carly : Brave , wonderful , never once acted like he was afraid .
Jason : What d you tell him ?
Carly : That he could survive prison . You told me to believe , so I do . I told him that he was strong , and then he started teasing me . That s how Michael was dealing with going to prison . He was trying to make me feel better .
Jason : Well , sometimes it helps to feel like you re doin somethin good for somebody .
Carly : Mm - hmm . He s a hero . You know , he s a hero . He saved Josslyn . I could nt stop Claudia from taking her , but he could . So why ? Why , God , is this happening ? Is this why he woke up from a coma , so he could just go to prison ?
Jason : God has nothing to do with this .
Carly : God let it happen , Jason . We all let it happen . I mean-- he was so brave today . I mean , there he was in an orange jumpsuit and shackles , and they re walking him out . He could barely walk , and he looked back at me and smiled like everything s gon na be okay . He looked so young , you know ? He did nt look like a man . He looked like a little boy , and all I could see was every time that he fell and got back up and he looked at me like , mom , everything s gon na be okay , and he was just a baby . You know , that s my baby . Why is this happening ? How could we let this happen ?
Dante : It means a lot to me knowin you re in my corner .
Lulu : People have just been so unfair . None of em wanted Michael involved in Sonny s world , and when you stepped up and tried to get him out of it , you get blamed .
Dante : Yeah , for good reason .
Lulu : Well , the tide is turning , and Carly s gon na talk to Jason and to Sonny , and soon everyone will realize why you did what you did .
Dante : All I care about right now is Michael . I mean , he s in prison because of me . I got ta make it right . I got ta get him out of Pentonville .
Sonny : You said I was poison to my kids , and I wanted to tell you you were wrong , but the truth is violence defines my life , and it s not fair to any child to expose them to that .
Olivia : Sonny , whatever mistakes you have made , the one thing no one can fault you for is you love your kids .
Sonny : I do . I do love my kids . But I think it s been kind of a selfish love , because it s all been about being a father , because my father was never around , and I wanted to prove that I was better , but that s garbage . If I -- if I care about my kids , then I should stay away from them .

### Dialogue:
Natalia : Olivia , are you all right ?
Olivia : Unfortunately .
Natalia : You need help .
Olivia : I need to die .
Natalia : You re the most disgustingly selfish person I know . You think God let Gus die to answer your prayer ? Believe me , I wish it would have been you that died .
Olivia : If you wish it enough , it will happen .
Natalia : I m going to keep you alive .
Lizzie : To us !
Bill : Ah , to us . Now , where is the pate with the little pickles ? I m kidding , I m joking .
Lizzie : You know , I was trying to do something special .
Bill : And this is special . A little too special . I ll settle for just some quiet time with you and I , okay ? This is , this is great .
Lizzie : Well , it s not just you and I.
Bill : It is nt ?
Lizzie : No , it s not .
Bill : So you re having a baby ?
Lizzie : I thought that Ava might like to have those .
Bill : Really ? You know , I want to thank you . Because you ... you could have broken up with me . And you could have just been gritting your teeth through the next few months .
Lizzie : 40 weeks , but who s counting ?
Doctor : It s too early . A pregnancy test at this point wo nt be conclusive .
Ava : Well , we could just try . I am an overachiever .
Doctor : After an I.U.I. , you should wait until you ve missed a period . Hopefully , you and donor 387TZ3 are going to be parents .
Ava : Well , 387TZ3 may be the donor , but my baby has a father .
Olivia : Oh , you re back .
Natalia : Time for lunch . It was really fun charging your account . I am going to have a burger and some fries , and you re going to have soup .
Alan : You know , Dinah , you ve totally lost it .
Dinah : No , you have lost everything . This is my patio . My trees . My wall , to keep people like you out .
Alan : You re pathetic .
Dinah : You know , I m going to pretty much keep the place as you left it , sort of , kind of like a little museum . But I ve already started to make some changes . I m contemplating a mini - golf course on the back lawn . I think it s going to be perfect . Can I give you a tour ?
Alan : You re not very funny .
Dinah : Can I have Hilda get you a drink at all ? Would you take a look at this ? This will help you understand .
Alan : How did you fake the seal ?
Dinah : Wine , liquor , or are you a beer guy these days ?
Alan : Come on , stop this . Tell me where Phillip is .
Dinah : You know , you keep doing this , you underestimate your enemies .
Alan : Enemies ? Do nt you understand what s going on ? Phillip is manipulating you .
Dinah : You know what ? You need to get it through your head , through your thick skull . I am Phillip ! And now I am you !
Alan : You know you re a criminal .
Dinah : No , not this time .
Wallace : Yes , Ms. Marler ?
Dinah : I want you to take Mr. Spaulding to the gate , now .
Alan : I m glad you re here , Walter . I want you to have Ms. Alice in Wonderland removed from my property .
Wallace : The name is Wallace , Mr. Spaulding . You never did get it right .
Dinah : Rule number two , Alan , learn the staffs name .
Alan : I m going to the police , the D.A. and the mayor .
Dinah : What are you going to tell them ?
Alan : I m going to tell them you stole my property .
Dinah : Would you give us a moment , please ?
Wallace : Yes .
Dinah : I want you to prove it .
Alan : All I have to do is pull up Phillip s e - mail ...
Dinah : Deleted . All of it , deleted . All the money , transferred ... gone . You had all of your servers on absolutely no backup . I want to thank you for keeping my secret alive .
Alan : So you invented Phillip , and then you uninvented him ?
Dinah : Yes . I did all of that with my brain power .
Alan : Well , do nt take my insults personally . I m that way with everyone .
Dinah : You just chose the wrong girl at the wrong time .
Alan : Dinah , I m sure that you and I could come to some kind of an agreement , a deal , maybe , that we could discuss ?
Dinah : Now , why would I want to do business with a loser like you ? Wallace ?
Alan : Enjoy it while you can , Dinah .
Natalia : Your soup is going to get cold . You have to eat , build up your strength .
Olivia : Did nt you hear a word that I s ...
Natalia : I heard you . You think you want to die . Too bad . Gus did nt want to die . Gus loved life . And now all that is left of him is his big , beautiful heart , in there . I m not going to let it go to waste . ( Sighs ) You re just like Rafe when he was a baby .
Olivia : This is my punishment . God is making me spend time with you .
Natalia : God gave you a gift . He obviously loves you .
Olivia : You need to take your God and your soup and leave me alone .
Natalia : You are a horrible , ungrateful person .
Olivia : Yeah , so ?
Natalia : Do you think Gus would want you to squander the gift you ve been given ?
Olivia : I do nt know .
Natalia : No ! You ve already destroyed enough . You have no right ...
Olivia : There s nothing you can do !
Natalia : Okay . Fine . You win .
Lizzie : Unexpected when you re expecting ? No .
Remy : I hope that was nt a library book . ( Laughing ) Lizzie , are you ...
Lizzie : No , no , not even close .
Remy : Thank God .
Lizzie : Bill is , with Ava .
Remy : Wow .
Lizzie : I mean , it s not his fault .
Remy : ( Laughing ) That s a new one !
Lizzie : I mean , we were nt together when it just ... the point is , we are now together , and I am trying to do the right thing .
Remy : So we ll sic the dogs on Ava ?
Lizzie : No . Remy , I m serious . I just keep thinking , What would Tammy do ?
Remy : ( Laughing ) Yeah , good luck with that !
Lizzie : Okay , I know I m not Tammy . The first thing I thought when I heard is , Ava got pregnant to trap Bill , great . Tammy always looked for the good in everyone , and somehow she found it .
Remy : I look for the worst , and I m never disappointed .
Lizzie : Me , neither . But I m trying . I m trying . This is me , trying .
Remy : Well , let me know how that goes .

Ava : Uh - huh .
Bill : I have a confession to make .
Ava : Uh - huh ?
Bill : I called your office and found out you had an appointment . I think today s the day I meet your doctor .
Ava : My doctor ? You want to meet my doctor today ?
Bill : Alright , Ava , listen . I know you re mad at me , okay , because when you first told me , I did nt handle it well , okay ? And , then that s ...
Ava : Well , fair enough , okay ? I did nt handle it well , either .
Bill : Look , this is new to you , too , okay ?
Ava : Well , it certainly is .
Bill : It does not give me the right to take it out on you , alright ? And I am sorry . I m sorry .
Ava : Look , this has been really hard for both of us . We re just trying to figure out ...
Bill : Yeah . That s it . You know what we re going to do ? We re going to figure it out together . And we re going to talk to the doctors and get some answers , okay ?
Ava : Answers ?
Bill : Yeah , like when the baby s due and how that little being is doing and everything ...
Ava : Oh , okay you know what ? This is all very sweet .
Bill : What s wrong ? What did I say
Ava : I m just not really ... not today .
Bill : Ava , what did I say ? Ava , the sooner , the better , do nt you think ?
Ava : Bill , I said not today , okay ?
Bill : Ava ...
Ava : What ?
Bill : Ava , look , I said I m sorry , okay .
Ava : And that s enough ?
Bill : I never asked for this baby , okay ? But now that it s here , I want to do my part . I want to make it work . I want to do my part .
Ava : Thank you for your heart - felt enthusiasm , Bill . I appreciate it .
Bill : Okay , listen to me . If I told you I was happy , you would never believe me .
Ava : I really do nt care what you think about this baby . It s mine , and I will take it from here .
Bill : Ava , come on . Why are you doing this ?
Ava : Because I ve had it , okay ? I ve been begging you to take interest in this child . So do me a favor , come over for birthdays and Christmas and whenever you are not busy with Lizzie .
Bill : I m here now .
Ava : Until she calls you .
Bill : I was with Lizzie when you called me .
Ava : Oh , so I pulled you away from her ? Great .
Bill : I did nt say that . Please stop putting words in my mouth .
Ava : Look , the next time your conscious is hurting you , ignore it , Bill !
Bill : You still have to see the doctor . Think of the baby , Ava !
Lizzie : What s this color called ?
Woman : Out for blood .
Lizzie : ( Laughing ) I like that .
Dinah : Hey . I ll take what she s having .
Lizzie : Did Bill send you to checkup on me ?
Dinah : Do you need a checkup ?
Lizzie : No , that would be Ava .
Dinah : Oh , yes , I did hear that .
Lizzie : It s fine . It s gon na be fine . I m not going to let Ava and her baby come in between what Bill and I have going right now .
Dinah : H m mm , Lizzie , I m rooting for you . I want my brother to be happy .
Lizzie : He is . He will be . We are ... we are going to be .
Dinah : I m glad . I m glad . You deserve good things , you do . Especially with everything that happened , you know .
Lizzie : What ?
Dinah : With your family , with your grandfather .
Lizzie : Yeah . It s sad that the house is gone , it is , but what can you do ?
Dinah : Yeah . I know . Exactly . I mean , what can you do about that ? How is Alan taking it ?
Lizzie : I m not too worried about him .
Dinah : You know what ? Maybe it was his turn to be humbled .
Lizzie : Yeah , maybe . But , I mean , he ll be back . You know , it s , you know , not like my granddad is going to stay down . He is just licking his wounds , and he s going to come back stronger . I would not want to be the person who tries to get in his way .
Woman : Dinah , why do nt you pick your color ?
Dinah : I have a dentist appointment . I have a dentist appointment . Teeth and nails , I still get them mixed up . Good - bye .
Lizzie : ( Laughs ) Good - bye .
Woman : She needs to relax more .
Lizzie : Yeah . ( Music playing )
Waiting for somebody to open up some door Tuesday came and went as quickly as was scripted sometimes I need to be neglected I believe , somewhere there s a vision in the dark
Remy : Wait , do you knock ? I mean , geez .
Dinah : Sorry . Sorry .
Remy : This is my room .
Dinah : Got a little damage control .
Remy : Uh - oh , I take it that Alan did nt enjoy his tour ?
Dinah : No , no , no . It was fantastic . He just , he was squirming , he was suffering , it was good ...
Remy : So then what s the problem ? Other than the fact that you re going to make me late for my date ?
Dinah : Okay . He s coming after me , is the problem .
Remy : Really ? Shocking !
Dinah : Yeah , yeah . So I need to hire some more security . I need to hire a bodyguard .
Remy : I ve got an idea . How about I just go rough him up ?
Dinah : That s right !
Remy : Are you serious ?
Dinah : Very good .
Remy : No ! Listen , Alan is going to do what he wants to do . You ve just got to be smart and stay one step ahead of him .
Dinah : Yeah , you re right .
Remy : Uh - huh .
Dinah : You re right . Okay , I can do that .
Remy : I put my money on you .
Dinah : That s right . You re right .
Remy : Uh - huh .
Dinah : Nothing to be afraid of . All right . I feel a little bit better . The world is looking better with you and your shirt off . You re very fit . You re very fit , there .
Ava : Oh , hey . Natalia .
Natalia : Hi .
Ava : Hi .
Natalia : How s Emma ?
Ava : Oh , she s dying to see Olivia , but I think I m going to hold her off for one more day . She needs a little time to adjust to being in the hospital . Olivia is not the best patient .
Natalia : No .
Ava : No . Well , I guess I better go . I m sorry . Are you okay ? How are you ?
Natalia : Yeah , I m fine . I m fine .
Ava : Okay .
Natalia : Ava , can you just see if you can get her to eat a little soup ?
Ava : Olivia ? Olivia ?
Olivia : Emma ? You did nt bring her , right ?
Ava : No , no , not yet . I did nt .
Olivia : Good .
Ava : Ooh , French fries . I guess the nurse is on break ? She probably wo nt mind if I eat a couple of those . She can order some more . Mom , I m so glad to be here . I m so glad to be here . I know that you said you needed a little bit of time , but there is just so much stuff going on with Bill , and I ...
Olivia : There is no baby , right ?
Ava : No , but I really want Bill . And I really , really want a baby . So I made a decision . I decided to do artificial insemination . Now , I know that it sounds nuts , but it s something I really , really want to do . And I m really excited about it . In fact , I might be pregnant right now . I asked the hospital if I could take a test , but they said I have to wait a little while . But I just ca nt stop thinking about it . It s making me crazy .
Olivia : It s hard to wait .
Natalia : She s going to be fine . Lost in your arms ...
Remy : You know , when you think about it , you and I have a lot in common .
Alan : You told me you saw Phillip . You saw him in town . But you lied to me , Remy . How much is she paying you ?
Remy : She ?
Alan : Dinah and you are going to pay for this . I ll bury you both in a shallow grave .
Remy : Oh , that s nice . Honor Gus memory by threatening to bury people .
Alan : If Gus knew right now what you were doing to me ...
Remy : Alan , Alan , Alan , enough is enough . Okay ? Alright ? Enough with the threats . You have nothing to back them up . Dude , where s your car ? Right . ( Laughs ) I m sorry . Where s your car ? ( Laughs ) Sorry . You need a lift somewhere ?
Dinah : He knows .
Bill : Who knows what ?
Dinah : Alan . He knows that I bought the house , that it was me , that it was nt Phillip . He knows everything .
Bill : Okay , let me ask you something . How does he know ? Who told him ? Dinah , what are you doing ?
Dinah : Look , I could nt help myself , all right .
Bill : Okay , mm - hmm .
Dinah : He was laughing at me , even though I have everything and he has nothing .
Bill : Okay . Listen to me , I love you , so I have to give you a bit of advice . You never kick a cobra , okay ?
Dinah : Oh , please . He is de - fanged .
Bill : De - fanged ? Well , fangs grow back .
Dinah : Oh , come on .
Vanessa : Oh , I thought I heard the two of you . Hello .
Dinah : Hi .
Bill : Hi , Mommy .
Vanessa : You re hiding from me ?
Bill : Of course not . We were just catching up .
Dinah : No , we re catching up .
Bill : Yeah .
Vanessa : Oh , well , my turn . Come this way . Sit , sit .
Bill : Oh ! Do you suddenly feel like your six years old ?
Dinah : Oh , five - and - a - half .
Vanessa : Excuse me .
Bill : Mommy , do they have pens and paper so we can draw ...
Vanessa : Yes !
Bill : ... Because I love to color . ( Laughs )
Vanessa : You both sit very nicely . Thank you . And would you please tell me why I have to hear from a total stranger that you re going to become a father ?
Dinah : I ll take this one . Bill , actually , is still hoping that that is all going to go away .
Bill : No . Well , I m ...
Vanessa : Do you have any reason to doubt Ava s word ?
Dinah : You know , I think that when this bad boy , actually he just did nt want any entanglements , and now he s got two .
Vanessa : Ah . Well , you know , if your brother really loves Lizzie , she is not an entanglement . And , Lord knows , a baby is nt .
Bill : Thank you , Mommy , I feel so much better now .
Vanessa : But as for you , you know , buying Alan Spaulding s house out from underneath him ? That I would call an entanglement .
Bill : Okay , well , now , she played Alan s games by his own rules , and beat him . What is wrong with that ? Right ? It s pretty impressive .
Dinah : ( Laughing )
Vanessa : ( Laughing ) I like that . You re defending your sister .
Bill : Of course I am . Brothers and sisters defend each other . It s what we ...
Dinah : Thank you for defending me . Thank you .
Bill : That s what we do , brothers and sisters .
Dinah : That s right .
Vanessa : How about what you do to mothers ? You just leave them flapping in the wind ?
Dinah : Mom , do nt worry , please . We always land on our feet .
Bill : Like a cat . Or a feline .
Vanessa : Look at me , please .
Bill : I m sorry , Mommy .
Vanessa : You know , when I was your age , I wanted to rule the world , too . The closer I got to it , the emptier it felt . And I hope you ll forgive me for sermonizing , but I want you to talk to your father .
Bill : Oh ...
Vanessa : Because ... a baby was the last thing he wanted . And if you talk to him now , his kids are the best thing in his life . So I m hoping that that s the way you ll feel .
Bill : And what about Lizzie ? Where does she fit into the picture ?
Vanessa : Waiter , may we please see some menus ?
Ava : Hey , how about a little company ?
Lizzie : That sounds great . How are you ?
Ava : Oh , I m feeling fantastic . Especially since our visit .
Lizzie : Visit ?
Ava : Oh , Bill did nt tell you ? We went to the doctor together . He was feeling a little left out . It s funny . I did nt think he wanted to have anything to do with our baby , but I guess I was wrong .
Lizzie : ( Whispering ) What would Tammy do ? Tammy , Tammy , Tammy .
Ava : What ?
Lizzie : I am so glad he was there for you ! I encouraged him to be there .
Ava : Well , that was very smart of you .
Lizzie : What ?
Ava : I mean , it was very sweet of you . Yeah , and next we ll have the ultrasounds and then we re going to do the birthing classes , and then , of course , the big day .
Lizzie : You re just having his baby , but you ca nt have him . Okay , Helga ?
Ava : Helga ?
Lizzie : Just never mind , okay ? I m not the one who is going to be puking every day . I m not going to be the one who feels like her bladder is going to burst every time she gets on an elevator , and I m not going to be the one wearing a mumu when everyone else has a bikini on .
Ava : If I did nt know better , I d think you lost him already .
Lizzie : He may be spending the days at the doctor with you , but he ll be spending his nights in bed with me .
Natalia : ... Able to drive me completely insane .
Remy : Car trouble ? Car trouble ?
Natalia : Oh , you just busted me . Talking to myself . Talking to Gus , actually . I know , I m crazy .
Remy : Well , I talk to Tammy every day . It keeps me going .
Natalia : I m having a hard time trying to figure some things out , you know , what the right thing to do is .
Remy : You ?
Natalia : Yes , me . My life is nt as cut and dry as I make it out to be sometimes . You know me .
Remy : Oh , yeah . ( Laughs ) So , I just took Alan Spaulding to the Cooper boarding house . Talk about a life changing just like that !
Natalia : Everything s changing .
Remy : It s okay , you know , talking with Gus .
Natalia : I miss him .
Remy : You always will . But you ve got to hold onto whatever you have left of him .
Natalia : Say that again ?
Remy : ( Laughing ) You have to hold onto whatever s left of Gus ? Yeah , I know , now I sound crazy .
Natalia : No . I think you re really smart . Thank you . Now , get out of the way because I m going to run you over .
Alan : I ll have the usual . Oh , you remembered . Pretty good .
Vanessa : Alan ? I ve been trying to reach you . I m so sorry to hear about Gus .
Alan : Thank you , Vanessa . It s been very hard losing a son . Actually , you would hate to lose your daughter .
Vanessa : What ?
Alan : She took my house .
Vanessa : Well , she told me that she bought your house .
Alan : Really ? You should have heard her bragging about it , rubbing it in my face . You must be very proud of her .
Vanessa : Well , you do nt expect me to criticize and turn against my own daughter ?
Alan : If I were you , I would do something for your daughter . Do something for your daughter before someone else who does nt care about her very much turns against her .
Vanessa : Are you threatening Dinah ?
Alan : Me ? No . Who am I ? I m a loser who lives here at a boarding house . If I were you , Vanessa , I would help Dinah . Do nt wait too long , like I did with Phillip . You know what happened there .
Bill : Let me ask you a question , okay ? We have our own credit cards , our own bank accounts , right ? We never call home collect . Is that ...
Dinah : That s pretty accurate .
Bill : That s accurate , is nt it ?
Dinah : We also do nt bring home laundry .
Bill : Never .
Dinah : We also do nt borrow the car .
Bill : Well , maybe once or twice .
Dinah : No , you do nt .
Bill : But let me ask you a question . Why is it that when mom looks at us , all she has to do is shake her head , and we feel like little kids again ? Why is that ?
Dinah : Because that s what they do , that s what mother s do . They never stop .
Bill : That s it ! That s what mothers do ! To mothers ! Whoa . Let me ask you another question . What are you going to do now that Alan has found out that you are involved in the ...
Dinah : Oh , he did nt scare me .
Bill : That does nt answer my question . What are you going to do ?
Dinah : Legally , he ca nt do anything to me . But you know what ? If he tries something , you know what , I got a little muscle .
Bill : Muscle ? Like Remy ?
Dinah : Have you seen his muscles ?
Bill : Easy .
Dinah : Anyway , you know what ? Alan is easier to handle than his granddaughter , I ll tell you that .
Bill : Okay , I do not handle Lizzie .
Dinah : No , you do nt .
Bill : No , I do nt . And we will be fine , okay ? As long as she does nt find out that I was involved helping you with Alan ...
Dinah : I know . My lips or sealed .
Bill : You re lips or sealed , huh ?
Dinah : Uh - uh .
Bill : Hm , it s going to be tough to drink , if that s the case .
Dinah : Watch me . Bartender , can I get two more shots , please ?
Bill : Hm .
Dinah : Thank you . Fill her up !
Bill : Wow . Drink it . Do nt hold it against me . ( Laughter ) Just so I can deal with the world around me .
Dinah : To my brother .
Bill : To my sister .
Dinah : Right down the hatch .
Lizzie : You okay ?
Bill : Oh ! Is it still today ?
Lizzie : Yes .
Bill : Damn .
Lizzie : What s the matter ?
Bill : Oh , I had a few drinks with Dinah , and I figured I d get a little sleep before I got behind the wheel .
Lizzie : You are behind the wheel .
Bill : I am behind the wheel . That s a good point .
Lizzie : Yeah , scoot over , let me drive .
Bill : Scoot over ? Where is your car ?
Lizzie : I walked .
Bill : You walked ?
Lizzie : Who did you get loaded with again ?
Bill : I told you , Dinah .
Lizzie : H m mm , celebrating your first born ?
Bill : Come on , you know me better than that .
Lizzie : Do I ?
Bill : Yes , you do . Are we cool ? Are we cool ?
Lizzie : Yes , we re cool . ( Laughter ) Let me drive .
Bill : Can you drive a stick shift ?
Lizzie : Okay .
Bill : What ?
Lizzie : Go . Out ! Go ! We re done here .
Bill : Wait a minute . I m starting to feel a little used here .
Lizzie : Oh , well , this is our reality . Go check with your baby mama . Bye - bye .
Bill : Are you leaving me here ? I got one more in me .
Lizzie : Really ? Get back in . ( Laughter )
Remy : ( Laughing ) Weird day .
Dinah : You think ?
Remy : I just drove Alan home .
Dinah : Good .
Remy : Are you drunk ?
Dinah : Maybe . I drank , maybe , six with my brother .
Remy : ( Laughing )
Dinah : What , you never had a drink with your sister ?
Remy : No , no . It s raining and chilly . You want to go inside ?
Dinah : No , I m good right here .
Remy : You ca nt get up , can you ?
Dinah : I will ... eventually .
Remy : Okay . Upsy daisy .
Dinah : Oh , no , no , no !
Remy : Oh , yep , yep , yep , yep , yep .
Dinah : You re so strong .
Remy : I m holding on , baby .
Ava : Room service ?
Bill : Not room service . It s Bill Lewis . What are you ... what is that ?
Ava : Oh , I was just practicing .
Bill : You were practicing . Thank goodness you told me . Because I would hate for our baby to be born with a tag that read , Do not remove or face prosecution . That would be horrible .
Ava : Maybe you think this is a joke . I do nt think our baby is a joke , Bill .
Bill : Ava , I do nt think ...
Ava : I do nt think it s a joke at all .
Bill : Listen to me , I do nt want to fight with you , okay ? And , no , I do not think it is a joke . I do nt . I do nt .
Ava : Just a big , fat inconvenience for you , that s all , right ?
Bill : No . It s just like I said , it takes a little getting used to , that s all . But it s growing on me , okay ? It is . It s growing on me .
Ava : You re just saying that .
Bill : I m not just saying that . In fact , you know what ? The next time you go to the doctor s , I want to go with you . Okay ?
Ava : Great ...
Bill : No , listen to me . Not because I doubt you , but because I think ... I think I should be there for our kid .
Ava : Our kid ?
Bill : Our kid .
Ava : That s the first time that you used the word our in this conversation .
Bill : Are you keeping tabs ?
Ava : Of course , I am .
Bill : Well , it s about time , do nt you think ? It s about time .
Ava : Yeah , I do .
Bill : Hey , guess what ?
Ava : What ?
Bill : What s this ?
Ava : A book .
Bill : A book of baby names .
Ava : Baby names .
Bill : Yeah . I thought maybe you and I could sneak a peek , take a gander .
Ava : Oh !
Bill : And figure out what we re going to name this ...
Ava : Want some of that ?
Bill : No .
Ava : It s really good .
Bill : It looks fantastic ...
Ava : It s really good .
Bill : No , but I m trying to watch this area on me . Because I want to play games with our child . Excuse me ?
Natalia : Too much of this is no good .
Olivia : Yeah . It s murder .
Natalia : Okay . Let s see what we have . We have juices . We have two kinds of smoothies , strawberry and mango , one is non - dairy . And , oh , look , more soup . The only thing I do nt have in here is alcohol .
Olivia : That s too bad .
Natalia : There s got to be something in here that you would like .
Olivia : Stop it . You ca nt make me eat .
Natalia : I m not a quitter , like you .
Olivia : Strawberry .
Natalia : I m sorry ?
Olivia : Strawberry .

### Dialogue:
Kay : Ah . Well , how did you sleep ?
Jill : Ah . Australia was great , but there is nothing like waking up in my own bed in Genoa City on a crisp Thanksgiving morning .
Kay : Mm - hmm . Well , how would you like another reason to be thankful ?
Jill : 24 hours of peace and harmony would be nice . Can you manage that ?
Kay : Well , how is this for starts ? I ve decided to bring you on at Chancellor as my new co - C.E.O.
Jill : Oh , Katherine ! Oh ! [ Chuckles ]
Phyllis : Hey . Jack .
Jack : Oh . Yeah .
Phyllis : Would nt it be more comfortable to sleep in your bed ?
Jack : Must have fallen asleep while I was working . [ Groans ]
Phyllis : Tell me the truth . You could nt get up the stairs , right ?
Jack : [ Groans ]
Phyllis : Why are you darkening this doorstep on Thanksgiving ?
Adam : [ Sniffles ] The bigger question is why you re answering Jack s door in the early - morning light . You get here early to score some points with the boss , or were you here scoring all night ?
Jack : Hey ! Have we got a problem here ?
Noah : Mom ?
Sharon : I had to see you .
Noah : Okay . What s -- what s going on ?
Sharon : I could nt stay at that cabin at Adam s anymore . It just all went wrong -- so wrong .
Nikki : Victor , you re only frustrating yourself more by calling Nicholas every five minutes . When he or Billy can call , they will .
Victor : Sweetheart , they should have been in Miami hours ago . Instead , they re stuck on some tarmac in Charleston , West Virginia , for heaven s sake . When it comes to ransom money , kidnappers do nt have patience . I assure you .
Nikki : Well , nobody could have anticipated this delay in weather .
Victor : I should never have allowed you and Nicholas to talk me out of taking charge .
Nikki : Not even you can control the weather , Victor .
Victor : [ Sighs ]
Nikki : Now who are you calling ?
Victor : If Nicholas and this dimwit do nt get to Victoria in time , I know someone who can .
Nicholas : [ Sighs ] I was hoping the pilot could patch through some sort of phone connection .
Billy : No luck , huh ? Yeah , I already tried Eddie . I ca nt get a signal .
Nicholas : Well , the pilot said a bunch of the cell towers were downed in the storm .
Billy : Fantastic . Just our luck . So how do we tell Eddie that we re on our way ?
Nicholas : Well , we re not on our way . We could be grounded until this afternoon .
Billy : No , that s not gon na work . We need to get to Victoria . We need to get there now .
Nicholas : Well , how would you like to do that , Billy ? Take a cab ? Miami s only like 1,000 miles away .
Billy : I would if I could .
Nicholas : I want to rescue my sister , too . But we need to calmly figure out the best way to do that . You know who s really good at figuring out the best way to do things .
Victoria : [ Sighs ] How long have you been standing there ?
Eddie : Long enough .
Victoria : Have you heard from Billy yet ?
Eddie : No .
Victoria : He s coming . I know he s coming .
Eddie : Oh , he has to . But he might be too late .
Sharon : I left the cottage last night .
Noah : Where have you been all this time ?
Sharon : Driving around . I did nt know what else to do . And then I thought , Noah . I can trust Noah .
Noah : Yeah , of course you can .
Sharon : Okay , well , I parked my car up near my house . I saw Summer leaving with Faith , and I noticed that Nick s car was not here . But what if he comes back ? I do nt want him to see me .
Noah : Okay , well , Dad called me last night to let me know he had to make a quick trip out of town , so he asked me to watch the girls .
Sharon : Oh , perfect , perfect . Okay , good . Good .
Noah : Mom , can you -- can you tell me what spooked you at Adam s ? W - what did he do ?
Sharon : It was nt Adam . It was his wife . Noah , she s out to get me .
Noah : Get you ?
Sharon : Yes ! Chelsea hated that I was there . She hates me . She s -- she started spying on me .
Noah : Okay , um , well , you know -- here , sit down . I - I never liked that you were at Adam s , anyway .
Sharon : Okay , but you know it was nt Adam . Adam was being really good to me .
Noah : Right . Maybe . But I m glad you re here now . Mom , what s wrong ?
Sharon : Noah , um ... this illness that I have ... I have to tell you about it . You need to know what s going on with me .
Phyllis : I have some errands to run . Try to see Summer . And when I come back ... you re gon na be long gone .
Adam : You and Phyllis seem cozy . It s almost like she s moved in a bit .
Jack : And if she has ?
Adam : I do nt want to know about it . None of my business .
Jack : Did nt expect you here this early .
Adam : Really ? Well , you should nt have sent me an urgent e - mail at 2 : 00 a.m. demanding a meeting .
Jack : Sit down .
Adam : Jack , it s Thanksgiving . I have places that I need to be . What is so important that it could nt wait ?
Jack : This . You okayed a risky acquisition without getting my approval . You seem to have forgotten , Adam , who is the real C.E.O. of Newman .
Victor : I spoke with a security man in Florida . He s checking out the four properties associated with Eddie G.
Nikki : No ! No , they ca nt do that !
Victor : Sweetheart , if Victoria is held in one of those places , they will rescue her , okay ?
Nikki : How ? By -- by charging in with guns blazing ? What if she gets caught in the crossfire ?
Victor : They know what they re doing .
Nikki : [ Sighs ] Victor -- how do you know ? I mean , they re not -- they re not police , and they re certainly not family .
Victor : Sweetheart , they re my security people . They ll be very careful . I assure you .
Nikki : I know , but you do nt know . You ca nt really trust them .
Victor : Darling , what else do you want me to do now ? There s nothing else I can do .
Nikki : I do nt know . But they do nt love her like we do . They do nt know about that baby upstairs waiting for her to come home . Please call them back and stop them .
Victor : Billy Abbott is already late with the money .
Nikki : Victor , please , stop them !
Victor : Sweetheart , calm down , please , okay ? These guys will find her if she s there . Do nt you worry , now . I ca nt help it that they re stuck in some airport in West Virginia . I ca nt help that .
Victoria : Please , Eddie . Please , you ca nt kill me .
Eddie : I do nt want to hurt you .
Victoria : The other night , you said that you were gon na get rid of me to make Billy suffer .
Eddie : I was mad .
Victoria : So you did nt mean it , then ?
Eddie : I m not a monster . I fed you , did nt I ? Brought you to this nicer place to wait things out .
Victoria : Yeah .
Eddie : All right , so I m just looking to get back what was taken from me . Savvy ?
Victoria : You know , I was thinking about ... I was thinking about everything that you lost and ... the years that you spent in jail ... and how your wife took your son .
Eddie : Yeah , I ve been thinking about him , too . It s Thanksgiving .
Victoria : Oh , my God . I did nt even know that . This must be a really hard day for you .
Eddie : Just go back to sleep , would you ?
Victoria : I ca nt . I ca nt go back to sleep . It s Thanksgiving , and I - I hate being away from my -- my sons . You must feel the same way . You know , when my ex went to D.C. , I mean , it was never easy , but ... birthdays and holidays -- they re the worst . Do nt you think ?
Eddie : Yeah . Holidays are the roughest .
Nicholas : We need to look at this from his point of view . He wants money . He s not gon na hurt Victoria , cause he knows if he does that , he s not gon na get paid .
Billy : So ?
Nicholas : So we have more time than you think . He ll wait .
Billy : No , no , no . We ca nt take that risk , okay ? He is insane . I know him .
Nicholas : Well , that is the problem , is nt it ? You know him .
Billy : Okay , here s what we do . We get off of this plane , and we walk into the airport , and we demand to use a land line .
Nicholas : You want to leave $ 2 million laying on the plane ?
Billy : We take it with us .
Nicholas : Oh , even better . You want to run into an airport with $ 2 million in cash in a couple of metal briefcases . Yeah , that wo nt draw any unwanted attention .
Billy : Easy . One goes . One stays . I ll go .
Nicholas : I m not letting you out of my sight .
Billy : Really ? Who are you , your dad now ? You really do nt trust me ?
Nicholas : Not even a little bit . You run into that airport , you can put this whole thing in jeopardy .
Billy : I would do anything to get Victoria back . I would trade places with her in a second . You re worried about this money ? Who cares ? You re worried about keeping an eye on me ? Who cares ? The only thing that matters is getting her back , and I need to get to a phone to do that . So why do nt you get out of my way ?
Kay : Um , may I offer you a pen ? Come on , Jill . Jill , come on . Hurry up so we can celebrate , Dear .
Jill : Why would I want to sign that ?
Kay : Because it s what you wanted .
Jill : What I wanted ? There is nothing in this contract that indicates I m an equal partner .
Kay : Really ?
Jill : Oh , no . Do nt play dumb with me , you two - faced --
Kay : Oh , just stop this ! Do nt start the name - calling . Come on . All C.E.O.s have to have some sort of decorum .
Jill : Oh , decorum ! Well , decor this , Katherine ! You never intended to share power with me , did you ? ! You only pretended to agree to it to get me off your case !
Kay : Well , evidently , it is nt working .
Jill : You will never make me an equal at Chancellor , will you ? Nothing will ever change .
Adam : I agree . The acquisition is risky . But it will pay off , Jack . I ve done my homework . You ll be able to see that in the breakdowns and the overview .
Jack : And when will I get these breakdowns ?
Adam : E - mailing them to you right now .
Jack : Perhaps I did nt make myself clear when I handed you the reins . I want to clear all major proposals .
Adam : Understood , Jack .
Jack : Good . Problem solved .
Adam : You all right there ?
Jack : Fine . On my way to a speedy recovery .
Adam : Those are some potent little pills there , Jacky .
Jack : You put anything else in motion at Newman that you need to tell me about ?
Adam : No . Nothing else . You starting to regret your decision to leave me in charge ?
Victor : A new development , Son . Call me as soon as you get this , please .
Nikki : I know you must be blaming me for this whole thing cause I did nt tell you about the kidnapping sooner .
Victor : I was upset with you , but I blame myself .
Nikki : Why ?
Victor : For allowing our Victoria to marry this useless S.O.B. Billy Abbott .
Nikki : Oh , you would nt have been able to stop her .
Victor : I have ways , okay ?
Nikki : She s very smart and strong and obstinate . She would have found a way to marry him , just like she will find a way to save herself if she has to .
Victor : In other words , she s fierce and wise and resilient and strong , like her mother , right ?
Nikki : Well , that sounds like one of her parents , anyway .
Victor : When Victoria s found , I --
Nikki : She will look at her rescuers and say , What took you so long ?
Victor : Come here .
Nicholas : You get off this plane , I will lock that door . Trust me . You will not get back on .
Billy : I ca nt just sit here and do nothing , because every second that we re stuck on this stupid plane is another second that we re closer to losing her .
Nicholas : I am not letting you run into that airport half - cocked -- not gon na happen .
Billy : I am trying to find a way to reach Eddie . If you can think of anything , please let me know . I ll do it .
Nicholas : I thought we were trying to think like Victoria .
Billy : I am . She would get off this plane , march into that airport , and demand to use a phone .
Nicholas : No , she would see problems with that right away . She is always two steps ahead .
Billy : Nick , she would grab the bull by its horns and not let go .
Nicholas : She is strategic and calculating , Billy .
Billy : Oh , man . You do nt know her the way I know her .
Nicholas : Oh , really ? You think I do nt know her ? I spent my entire life with her .
Billy : It s a little bit different , Nick , and you know it .
Nicholas : You want to know what the difference is , Billy ? When we get Victoria home safe -- and we will -- I m always gon na be her brother . You ll always be the husband she ll never forgive .
Billy : Let s go to Miami .
Phyllis : Thank you .
Avery : Hey .
Phyllis : Hello .
Avery : Okay . Uh , can I get a pumpkin latte , please ? What ?
Phyllis : That s what . Mona Madden s gossip blast . It s you and Nick holding hands out on the town . Looks like a pretty hot date . You want to share ... Sis ?
Adam : So , what happened , Jack ? Why does it seem you trust me less than you did even a week ago ?
Jack : Easy , Adam . Do nt be paranoid . I am not threatened by someone who might want my job . It is that attitude that keeps me one step ahead and propels my company to new heights .
Adam : Sky s the limit , eh ?
Jack : Do nt let me keep you from your holiday .
Adam : Yeah . Yeah , I want a search out for her now . All right .
Noah : Bipolar . So , it s like you have a split personality ?
Sharon : No . No , I m always me . It s just ... sometimes I m manic , and then ... other times , I m so down , I just -- I ca nt even get out of bed .
Noah : I can kind of see that . I m sorry . I do nt mean to hurt your feelings .
Sharon : No . No , it s okay . I mean , the diagnosis -- it does explain a lot . I mean , not just my behavior lately , but for years , really .
Noah : You must have been so scared , Mom . I m so sorry .
Sharon : You know what ? Do nt be . It is what it is .
Noah : I m sorry I did nt -- I did nt try harder to find an explanation for what was going on with you . I just pulled away and got mad .
Sharon : You did nt know .
Noah : I could have got you the help that you needed sooner .
Sharon : Noah , you re here now .
Noah : I wo nt let you down , Mom .
Avery : Listen , you of all people should know how gossip columnists exaggerate .
Phyllis : Oh , so this was nt a date ? It was nt ? Yeah , that looks like a pretty hot date to me .
Avery : Okay , are we really gon na have another round of this ?
Phyllis : My divorce is nt final , Avery . It s not final . I would have a problem with any woman dating Nick . [ Scoffs ] My sister ? Oh , God .
Avery : Listen to me . Please . I do nt want it to be like this between us .
Phyllis : Then you should stop dating Nick .
Avery : Okay , that s not fair ! That s not fair . Why should you try and stop me from living the life that I want ?
Phyllis : You re trying to make this sound so simple , like , Sis , hey , you should nt have a problem that I m hooking up with your ex . This should be no problem to you .
Avery : Okay , well , maybe -- maybe in time -- you know , in time --
Phyllis : No , no , no , no . I - Ill never be fine with this . I ll never be fine with this . [ Scoffs ] Ever . And you know that . You know that . You know , I m sitting here in a coffee shop , on Thanksgiving , trying to cope with the fact that -- that you are spending Thanksgiving dinner with Nick s family , and I am not .
Avery : Okay , listen to me . I - I -- Nick called me last night , and he had to go out of town , so I do nt have plans .
Phyllis : Oh , that s lovely , again . He called you and not the mother of his child .
Avery : Will you stop it ? I am not gon na let you do this , especially not today !
Phyllis : Oh . No , no , no , no . Yeah , we re not -- we re not going there .
Avery : We re not ? We re not ? Cause that s what this is all about , is nt it ?
Phyllis : No , it s not . No , it s about Nick .
Avery : No , it s not . It is about Dad and Mom , you and me and all the mistakes that have been made .
Phyllis : I ca nt believe that you keep on doing this to me . [ Sighs ] Whose mistakes , Avery ?
Avery : Okay , damn it , Phyllis . Phyllis , do you have any idea ... do you have any idea how badly I want someday , some Thanksgiving , to sit down with my big sister ... [Voice breaking ] And celebrate after everything that we have been through [ Sighs ] That we still have each other ? But that s never gon na happen , is it ?
Phyllis : Are -- are you -- are you really asking me if one day we can sit down together at Thanksgiving ... after ... I do nt even know what to say to you .
Avery : Okay , forget it . It was a rhetorical question .
Adam : Phyllis , I m glad I ran into you . Am I interrupting anything ?
Jack : Hey , Billy , it s your favorite brother leaving another voicemail . You know we re never gon na straighten this out unless you get back to me . I understand Victoria s out of town , and I m sure you and Delia have plans for Thanksgiving , but I d love for you to drop by .
Jack : Call me , okay ? Ow . [ Grunts ] [ Sighs ]
Jack : Collecting canned goods for charity ?
Tucker : Ah , just thought I d stop by to see how you re doing , Jack . Can I come in ?
Jack : We do nt do friendly visits .
Tucker : Well , I was trying to ease into this , in deference to your recovery .
Jack : Well , do nt ease into anything on my account . Spit it out .
Tucker : All right . I have serious doubts about how you re handling Newman .
Phyllis : Go away , Adam .
Avery : No , it s okay . I was just leaving . Enjoy the day .
Phyllis : Look , you scared her off .
Adam : Phyllis , hush . Okay ? I want to talk to you . We have to work together for the sake of the company .
Phyllis : If you re gunning for Jack s job , forget it . I m not helping you .
Adam : Phyllis , yet again , you re wrong about that .
Phyllis : Well , what are you after ?
Adam : My reputation -- regaining it .
Phyllis : At the company you feel is your birthright .
Adam : Is that what you think ?
Phyllis : Although your last name is Newman , you re not one of them . You ll never be one of them . And I think that chips away at your soul every single day .
Nicholas : All right , we got priority . Sit down . We re taking off .
Billy : I guess I can still call Eddie from the air . Just hope we re not too late .
Nicholas : Some things were said , you know , in the heat of the moment .
Billy : Yeah , like you saying Victoria will never forgive me .
Nicholas : I meant every word of it .
Victoria : You know , this time next year , you and Tommy could be , uh , in the Caribbean , fishing .
Eddie : Yeah , if I can find him .
Victoria : With my money and my resources , I mean , you guys could be together by -- by Christmas .
Eddie : [ Chuckles ] Oh , man . [ Chuckles ] You re good . You almost got me .
Victoria : I m not lying . This is the truth . I promise you , I can make this happen . We do nt have to wait for Billy . I can make this happen right now -- you and me .
Eddie : Yeah . Right . [ Sighs ]
Victoria : I told you about my son Reed in D.C. and how many nights I have cried for him . Please , Eddie . Please listen to me .
Adam : Gone are the days where I m trying to prove myself to my father . If I make a success of myself at Newman , I ll be doing it for myself .
Phyllis : Have at it .
Adam : You and I have a lot more in common than you might realize .
Phyllis : Other than walking upright , we have nothing in common .
Adam : We are outsiders in our own families . We are oftentimes our own worst enemy . We re misunderstood at times .
Phyllis : Is that all ?
Adam : But Jack , Phyllis -- he s given us a second chance . And if we can show him that he was right and warranted to have faith in us , is nt that worth putting our animosity aside for the greater good of the company ?
Adam : Excuse me . Yeah . Okay . Just keep checking in with me . We need to find her .
Phyllis : We need to find her ? Who are you trying to find ?
Noah : Did they give you any kind of medication ?
Sharon : Yeah . It is nt working .
Noah : How long has it been , Mom , a day ? It takes longer than that to get allergies under control .
Sharon : I do nt like it , okay ? Taking medication every day for the rest of my life ?
Noah : Okay . I - I would nt like it , either .
Sharon : So you understand .
Noah : I would take 20 pills a day if it meant helping me deal with a chronic illness . Now , where s the medicine ? Do you have it on you ?
Sharon : No . I left it at the cottage . And I do nt want to go back there .
Noah : I ll go , then .
Sharon : Noah , no .
Noah : Mom , you have to do what the doctor advised you to do so that you can get better , okay ? I know it s scary . But I m gon na be right here with you . Will you stay here and wait for me ?
Sharon : Yeah , I ll be right here .
Noah : Okay .
Tucker : I took a backseat in the takeover of Newman because I trusted you to do the job and make me money .
Jack : And you re having second thoughts now ?
Tucker : Look who you brought in . Adam -- he s cutthroat . And Phyllis -- she s been out of the business arena for years .
Jack : I could nt have picked two sharper execs .
Tucker : I can think of a person who would have been a much better pick .
Jack : Who , you ?
Tucker : I am the other majority stockholder .
Jack : [ Chuckles ] I would think you d be much too busy swindling Katherine out of Chancellor .
Tucker : Where d you get that ?
Jack : Come on . Neil s gone . Katherine s talking about coming out of retirement . And suddenly , out of nowhere , Jill shows up , thanks to a phone call from you . I smell a very well - groomed rat .
Tucker : Not that it s any of your business , Jack , but I m looking out for my mother s welfare .
Jack : Katherine and Jill are going to do what Katherine and Jill have always done -- fight . O - or maybe that was the plan .
Tucker : The plan ?
Jack : Get these two women to take their eye off the prize so you can swoop in and be Chancellor s savior .
Jill : You are still the same conniving , selfish old harpy you always have been .
Kay : Yes , yes .
Jill : You set me up with that whole warm speech just so you could phase --
Kay : I gave you the opportunity of a lifetime !
Jill : Opportunity of a lifetime ? ! That s such bull !
Kay : Who in the hell do you think you are ? ! Half the time , you re so jealous of everything I have ever--
Jill : Jealous is not the --
Kay : Oh , God .
Jill : Katherine ! Katherine ?
Kay : Oh , dear God .
Jill : Katherine ?
Kay : Oh , dear God .
Jill : What ? What ? What ? What ?
Kay : Oh , God , it hurts .
Jill : Katherine . Katherine .
Tucker : Your accusations about Chancellor are ridiculous .
Jack : Do you think Katherine would agree with your assessment ?
Tucker : Newman s future is the matter at hand , Jack . Now , you make sure your decisions do nt hurt the company .
Jack : One question . Is some part of you hoping that I m gon na fail ?
Tucker : I do nt care if you fail . But I ll be damned if I ll watch Newman fail . If I have to , I will step in and take action .
Adam : An executive s been avoiding me . I need her signature by the end of the business day Friday .
Phyllis : By the look on your face before , I thought maybe your wife was missing .
Adam : This face ? No . Actually , I need to go get some dessert and make it home for Thanksgiving , or my wife might change the locks on the doors .
Phyllis : You d better get going , then .
Adam : Okay , I will . So are we gon na do this , Phyllis ? Want to give it a shot ?
Phyllis : Yeah , Adam . You do your job , I ll do mine , and , yes , I will try .
Adam : Phyllis , I could almost -- almost -- give you a hug .
Phyllis : Okay , you do nt have to do that , thank you . I will protect Jack , and he will protect me , just so you know .
Adam : Actually , it s nice to see the two of you reconnect . I think it ll be good for the two of you . And for the company .
Phyllis : Hey , Avery . [ Scoffs ] Voicemail . Voicemail . Hey ... Avery . Um ... you know , I do nt want to be mad at you , either . I do nt want us to be mad at each other ... [ Chuckles ] ... Which means we have a lot to talk about . Call me .
Avery : [ Scoffs ] To hell with this .
Jill : Katherine , I love you . I love you . Please , you ca nt die on me over something as stupid as business . I ve got to call 911 .
Kay : Oh , that wo nt be necessary .
Jill : What ?
Kay : Well , that was merely a test .
Jill : A test ? !
Kay : Uh , well , yes , to find out how genuine your emotions are for me . Because you constantly are shrieking and -- oh , Jill , I m so happy you passed the test .
Jill : Well , I m real happy you re all right , Katherine . But I ought to kill you for putting me through what you just put me through . You are as infuriating as ever .
Kay : Admit it . You sort of enjoy all this . We miss it , do nt we ?
Jill : [ Laughs ] Oh ! You re just a crazy old fruit bat , are nt you ?
Kay : Yes .
Jill : [ Laughs ]
Victor : [ Sighs ] That Eddie G. guy was nt at any of the locations and neither was Victoria . Who knows where they are ?
Nikki : Oh , my God . What are we going to do ?
Victor : We have faced worse than this in our lives , my darling . One thing we do nt do -- we never give up hope , okay ? Come here .
Billy : We ve lost so much time .
Nicholas : You can get a hold of Eddie , let him know we re here and you have the money . That ll buy us some time . I m still not getting any signal . Are you ?
Billy : No , I m not . Wait ! Yes , I am . Yes , I am .
Victoria : Even with video conferencing and constant calls , I still miss Reed every minute . Every single day , I miss him . [ Sniffles ]
Eddie : I d do anything to see my boy again . I mean , that s what this whole thing has been about .
Victoria : I mean , what s gon na happen if you get arrested for kidnapping , then ? Right ?
Eddie : Are you threatening me ? [ Clears throat ]
Victoria : No . No , I m not . No , I was just -- I m just trying to show you that there s another way . I mean , I could take care of this right now . This can end . And I m not gon na tell anybody that you took me . I promise you . And I ll help you get your son back . But you got to let me go . You got to take these handcuffs off . Please , Eddie . Please . [ Crying ]
Eddie : It s Billy .
Victoria : [ Gasps ] Aah !
Kay : I never invited any more guests .
Jill : I did .
Phyllis : All the Thanksgiving dinners that were at the ranch , and now it s just gone .
Sharon : Get out . Get out !
Max : Do nt do anything stupid , or you ll end up like my buddy over there .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Kay : So what are you gon na do about it ?
Nikki : Nothing . Katherine ... ( exhales sharply ) I know you re concerned , and normally , your instincts are dead - on , but you are wrong about this . Jack is not in love with me .
Kay : I saw the way he looked at you . Now come on .
Nikki : You are reading into it . I mean , yes , jack and I are friends .
Kay : Well , it was even more serious until Kyle s reaction disrupted everything .
Nikki : We reconnected for a moment . I mean , not even long enough to call it an affair . It s over .
Kay : ( Chuckles ) over ? Even , uh , when victor s moving on with Sharon ?
Nikki : Yeah , well , that s his problem .
Kay : Well , you ca nt deny this is a horrible mess . This whole situation , for heaven sakes , and I want to tell you , young lady , you tread carefully , because some innocent bystander is going to be hurt .
Victor : So , Kyle , are you ready to go to work ?
Kyle : Yeah , just about . I ve gone over the reading materials you sent a couple times . I ve done some research on my own .
Victor : I ll be damned . I m impressed .
Kyle : But what I really want is to -- to get an overall view of this place .
Victor : You mean , as in a tour ?
Kyle : Yeah , yeah , that would be great . Who do I talk to about that ?
Victor : You talk to me about that .
Kyle : No , no , I did nt mean to impose and--
Victor : Do nt you worry . I have a few minutes , so let me show you around . Let s do it right now .
Kyle : Okay , great .
Victor : All right . There you go .
Kyle : Thank you .
Paul : ( Breathing rhythmically ) hey , Ricky . How are you ?
Ricky : Busy , so if you re gon na go off on me again--
Paul : No , no , no , no , no . Uh , listen , I , uh , I want to apologize . I m sorry that , uh , we left on bad terms on your birthday .
Ricky : Like that s something new . You pulling the disappointed father act is becoming same - old , same - old with us , so if you ll excuse me , I have some reading to do .
Avery : Oh . If you want to eat with Ricky , I can get something to go .
Paul : Oh , no , no . He does nt want to have anything to do with me .
Avery : So you have nt said anything to him about the old girlfriend ?
Paul : No , not yet ... although hearing that his old girlfriend committed suicide has , uh , made me see things differently , though . I ca nt help but , um ... feel for my son .
Avery : But you still did nt want to approach him ?
Paul : No , not yet , not until I have more information , which I am going to get today .
Lauren : So did Ricky give you any trouble when -- oh , here .
Eden : Yeah .
Lauren : When you asked him to leave ?
Eden : Um , not really , no , um , which is a relief .
Michael : But daisy s still there ?
Eden : With Daniel . I m not letting that bother me .
Lauren : Yeah . I ca nt believe he married her .
Michael : And they re living right across the hall from you ? They re living right across the hall ?
Eden : I ll be fine , okay ?
Michael : I do nt think you re gon na be fine . That s --
Lauren : All right , honey , let s believe her , okay ?
Michael : Okay , got it . Not a problem . Fine .
Eden : And who knows ? I mean , maybe being with Daniel will mellow daisy out and you guys can finally move back into the building .
Lauren : ( Scoffs ) wish I could count on that .
Michael : No . No , we re not moving back . We re not moving back ...
Lauren : Look--
Michael : Until daisy moves out .
Lauren : We ca nt keep putting our life on hold and give daisy all the power .
Eden : Well , I mean , what can you do ?
Michael : We can get a home of our own again and we can bring our son back to town .
Lauren : You know what ? We re gon na start on that today .
Daisy : Thank you so much for running to the drugstore .
Daniel : Yeah .
Daisy : Mm .
Daniel : ( Chuckles ) you know , you got ta stop doing that .
Daisy : What , kissing you ?
Daniel : No , thanking me for getting stuff for our daughter or for yourself . You know , I mean , we re a family , right ?
Daisy : You know what ? I was thinking , actually , about different ways we could make this place feel more like a home .
Daniel : Yeah , I was thinking about our living situation , too .
Daisy : Good . You want to redecorate ?
Daniel : I want to move . This is my mom . She makes things fun .
Avery : Who s in Chicago ?
Paul : The best friend of Ricky s ex . I m hoping that she ll be able to provide some , uh ... insight as to what happened and how Ricky handled the suicide .
Avery : Does she know that you re Ricky s father ?
Paul : I held back on that . Do you think that s a bad idea ?
Avery : No , not if you re looking for an unbiased perspective , but she may think that Ricky set things in motion when he broke up with the girl .
Paul : Or he could be completely blameless . The girl could have been suffering from depression all along .
Avery : And when you know more ?
Paul : When I know more , I - I hope that , uh ... I ll be able to reach out to my son and help him heal .
Avery : All this from one conversation ?
Paul : A stretch , huh ?
Avery : Well , maybe a little .
Paul : I just think that if ... ( sighs ) I can get Ricky to know that he can count on me , that maybe he wo nt take the hurt and anger out on everybody else .
Avery : Well , I hope that it all plays out the way you want .
Paul : I think I should get this young woman s take on things first , yeah .
Avery : I think that s a good idea .
Ricky : ( Tapping finger ) come on , come on , come on , come on , come on .
Daisy : ( Sighs ) move where ?
Daniel : My place .
Daisy : Is this because Eden lives 5 feet away from us ?
Daniel : Partly .
Daisy : Oh .
Daniel : It s not ...
Daisy : ( Sighs )
Daniel : Because of me . It s for you . I made the mistake of kissing her .
Daisy : You do nt have to apologize again for that .
Daniel : I mean , you should nt have to see her almost every day .
Daisy : I really would nt miss that at all , but wh - why-- why did you think of this ?
Daniel : Well , I ve got ta keep the garret , so I figure , why bother paying for two places ?
Daisy : It d be more money for Lucy , for maybe a college fund .
Daniel : And this place is nt big enough to do my artwork , and working over there means that I d be away from you and Lucy most of the time , and I - I dont-- I do nt like that idea . I mean , the whole point of us getting married was so we d all be together , right ?
Daisy : Would nt it be weird for you ?
Daniel : Weird how ?
Daisy : Okay , well , the last time I lived with you ... ( chuckles ) I pulled some crap you were nt too happy about .
Daniel : If I could nt get over that , I would nt be here . Look , life did nt start out so great for Lucy or for us , but ... we can make a better life now .
Daisy : Okay . Yeah , we ll move . ( Chuckles ) ( sniffles )
Michael : Listen , we appreciate you and Jill taking us in on such short notice .
Lauren : Yeah . It was very generous of you .
Kay : Oh , no bother at all .
Lauren : Thanks for saying that .
Michael : But we re gon na be looking for a place of our own .
Kay : I - I know that the two of you would like a place of your own ...
Lauren : ( Chuckles )
Kay : But I -- or we-- are going to miss you very much .
Lauren : Aw , well , we re gon na miss you too , but thank you very much for understanding .

Lauren : Yeah , absolutely .

Michael : Yeah , absolutely . Uh , c - call when you get home .
Eden : Okay .
Abby : You better not be rushing off to throw yourself at Kyle again .
Eden : I do nt need to throw myself at guys . They re automatically attracted to me .
Abby : ( Laughs ) um , deluded much ?
Eden : Right , you probably do nt understand the whole being lusted after thing .
Abby : Oh , p - lease .
Eden : Then why have nt you been with a guy , any guy , since I came back to town ?
Abby : That s by choice . I m picky .
Eden : Uh - huh . If a girl is known for running around town naked and still ca nt get a guy ... ( inhales sharply ) yikes .
Abby : I have very discriminating taste !
Nikki : So it was one of my very first charity events . There s 50 society women all in couture and serious jewels . I mean , heirloom tea service , chamber music , wafting water lilies , you get the picture . Anyway , it s 100 degrees with 110 % humidity .
Jack : So what d you do ?
Nikki : I did what every one of those women wanted to do and did nt have the guts to .
Jack : You -- you jumped in the pool ?
Nikki : ( Imitates splashing ) cannonball .
Jack : ( Laughing )
Nikki : ( Laughing )
Jack : You always make me smile .
Nikki : ( Laughs ) so where are you off to ?
Jack : Well , I m off to physical therapy , but that story s gon na keep me smiling through the whole thing .
Nikki : ( Chuckles ) well ...
Jack : I hope we can do this again soon .
Nikki : Well , have a wonderful day .
Jack : You , too . Katherine , good to see you .
Kay : Same to you , my darling .
Nikki : I have got ta get going myself .
Kay : Now you tell me you ca nt see it .
Nikki : Katherine , jack and I have been friends for a long time . It s only natural that he would look at me with affection .
Kay : With a dash of yearning .
Nikki : Look , it does nt matter what jack may or may not feel about me .
Kay : Why on earth not ?
Nikki : Because we re not going to do anything about it . We ca nt , so you have nothing to worry about .
Kay : Nikki--
Michael : All right . When you called , you said something had happened with daisy .
Daniel : Yeah , I did nt mean to be so mysterious , but I just had to make it quick .
Michael : All right . Are you looking for legal counsel ?
Lauren : Did you change your mind about the marriage ?
Daniel : No , no , this is something more personal , something for the two of you .
Lauren : For us ? How could that be ?
Daniel : Daisy , Lucy , and I are moving out of her apartment and into mine .
Lauren : Oh , my-- that s fabulous .
Michael : How d that happen ?
Daniel : Daisy thinks it s for a lot of other reasons , but I m doing this for you guys .
Lauren : ( Laughs )
Michael : Ohh .
Daisy : Oh , I thought Daniel was coming home . I thought I heard him .
Eden : Well , obviously , it is nt him .
Daisy : No , it s okay . I wanted to see you , Eden .
Eden : Is that right ?
Daisy : Yeah , Daniel and I are moving .
Eden : Wow , the building wo nt be the same without you , but that s a good thing .
Daisy : It was Daniel s idea , so you re lucky that you made out with my husband when you had the chance , because he wants to get as far away from you as quickly as he can . ( Humming )
Daisy : fafa I it , he s all l mi ! !
Ricky : U can n veveim . Is he e me ?
Daisy : Daniel and I told you not to come around here , okay ?
Ricky : And now I m telling you you re gon na let me in .
Daisy : Why ?
Ricky : Because I ve got an offer for you -- one that you d better not refuse .
Paul : Please , call me Paul .
Melissa : I m Melissa .
Paul : Well , thanks for , uh , meeting with me . You know , I m sure it ca nt be easy talking about your friend .
Melissa : I almost bailed , but the only thing I can still do for Rachel is remember her .
Paul : Well , she sounds like a friend worthy of your loyalty .
Melissa : She was .
Paul : What can you tell me about her ?
Jack : ( Exhales slowly ) hey , Sarge . I hope you do nt mind . I got a jump on things . We gon na start with the weights ?
Sarge : No , I m going to , uh , move you on to something a little more challenging .
Jack : Oh , you found a new torture for me , did you ?
Sarge : Yeah , well , from chair to cane takes some pain .
Jack : ( Chuckles ) how many times have you told me that ?
Sarge : Once you start walking , you will never hear it again .
Jack : Okay , whatever you got , bring it on . Help me get in the chair , will you ?
Sarge : How about getting your own butt in the chair ? How about that for the next challenge ? ( Elevator bell dings )
Kyle : Reading about Newman did not even begin to scratch the surface . I mean , meeting the staff , getting to see the different products and divisions ...
Victor : Quite impressive , is nt it ?
Kyle : I am so psyched to get to be a part of this company .
Victor : Well , I m glad you feel that way . Uh , hello , Nikki .
Nikki : Victor . Kyle .
Victor : Just showing Kyle around , preparing him for his first day at work .
Kyle : Victor , thanks for taking the time to show me around .
Victor : You re quite welcome . I ll see you bright and early tomorrow , okay ?
Kyle : You got it .
Victor : Thank you . So what can I do for you ?
Nikki : I was supposed to meet Nicholas .
Victor : Nicholas is out of the office . You re gon na have to reach him later .
Nikki : You know , I do nt understand how you can live with yourself , trying to turn Kyle against jack . Uh oh ! !
Avery : So you get to move back into your home ? How did that happen ?
Lauren : ( Chuckles ) yes .
Michael : It happened because your amazing nephew convinced daisy to move out of the building .
Avery : That s very kind of you .
Daniel : Mm .
Lauren : Yes , it was , and it is certainly gon na make our lives and Eden s so much easier . Thank you , Daniel .
Daniel : A lot of people have suffered because of daisy , so I m just trying to make things right .
Ricky : Why are you packing ?
Daisy : What do you want , Ricky ?
Ricky : The more polite you are , the quicker I m gone .
Daisy : Okay . We re moving .
Ricky : And just like that , the stars align .
Daisy : What are you talking about ?
Ricky : I came here to get you to pay the rent on my new apartment , but now that this place is available , I ll just live here .
Daisy : For free ?
Ricky : Yeah , unless I decide to charge you .
Daisy : Okay , why would I go along with that ?
Ricky : Because you owe me , daisy , and unless you start to play nice , I m gon na tell the court and the whole town .
Daisy : What ? What is there to tell ?
Ricky : That you had Lucy kidnapped on Daniel s watch so that you could retain custody .
Melissa : Rachel and I were good friends . Your foundation is associated with the university ?
Paul : Yes , we , um , we reach out to families who suffer student tragedies , and , uh , I was unable to locate any member of Rachel Dalton s family .
Melissa : Rachel was in foster care , and then on her own .
Paul : Oh .
Melissa : So if there s money involved , there s no one to give it to .
Paul : Maybe there s something else we can do to help ?
Melissa : What Rachel deserves is justice .
Paul : Justice ? Why would you say that ?
Jack : ( Breathing heavily )
Sarge : Come on . You need a break ?
Jack : No , I do nt need a break . Tell me what I m doing wrong .
Sarge : You re hesitating . Jack , you ve got the strength . What you need is power .
Jack : Tell me what that means .
Sarge : What the ... ( sighs ) you know all that negative energy you walk around with that I m trying to get you to dump ? Well , this is where that can work for you . Are you angry ? Are you frustrated , jack ?
Jack : Yes . Yes ! Yes !
Sarge : Well , then put it in your arms and lift .
Jack : ( Breathing heavily )
Sarge : Come on . Head down , butt up . Lift .
Jack : ( Vibrates lips )
Sarge : Can ... ( sighs )
Jack : ( Grunts )
Nikki : You drafted Kyle to work here so that you could inflict pain on jack .
Victor : I have better things to do than thinking about jack Abbott , okay ?
Nikki : Has nt he been through enough ? I mean , while he is fighting to walk again , you re escorting his son around here like some V.I.P. , Trying to win him over .
Victor : Did you come here to plead the case of jack Abbott ? Do you think I give a damn ? For your information , that boy came here asking me for a job , asking me if he could stay at the ranch .
Nikki : So you claim .
Victor : Do you know how furious I am with you ? I should nt even talk to you , you re now trying to blame me for the mistakes jack Abbott made with his son ? Are you kidding ? !
Kyle : Do nt be that way . Working at Newman is a great opportunity for me .
Abby : It s the opportunity to get caught between uncle jack and my father . And you do nt want to go there .
Kyle : I can handle it .
Abby : Okay , that is what messes you up-- thinking you can handle it ...
Kyle : ( Laughs )
Abby : You can work it , you can rule it , and then you get smushed .
Kyle : I wo nt , because working with victor has got nothing to do with my dad .
Abby : ( Laughs ) oh , oh , oh , yeah , I - I have two letters for you--b and S.
Kyle : Hey , hey--
Abby : Things are messed up with you and uncle jack . I get it , but do nt go running to victor Newman and pretend that s not a total passive - aggressive attack on your part .
Kyle : I was angry , yes , but now , I m over it .
Abby : I ve got two letters for you .
Kyle : I swear , I am not looking to get even .
Abby : Then come with me to see uncle jack right now and tell him that .
Nikki : Do not turn what you are doing around on me , or on jack .
Victor : Then you stop criticizing me for my choices . They re none of your concern , all right ?
Nikki : Yes , you have made that abundantly clear . I will always look after the people that I-- the people that I care about .
Victor : Bring me the violins . Go take care of jack Abbott .
Jack : ( Grunts ) ( grunts ) ( breathing heavily ) ( grunts )
Sarge : ( Growls )
Jack : ( Breathing heavily ) ( laughs ) we re gon na have to tape a cushion to my rear end here .
Sarge : Should have taken that break .
Jack : No .
Sarge : But you re gon na get this .
Jack : No . ( Grunts ) come on .
Sarge : All right , come on , come on .
Jack : ( Grunting )
Sarge : Okay . ( Chuckles ) okay .
Jack : That was it .
Sarge : Okay , okay .
Jack : Hey . How long have you guys been here ?
Kyle : Oh , we just-- we just got here .
Abby : Yeah .
Jack : Uh , Sarge , this is my niece Abby and my son Kyle .
Sarge : Well ...
Abby : We ve heard great things .
Kyle : ( Clears throat )
Sarge : All lies , I m sure .
Abby : ( Laughs )
Sarge : It s nice to meet both of you . Listen , take a break .
Jack : So what brings you by ?
Kyle : Well , Abby and I were just--
Jack : Y - you want to try to catch up with her ?
Kyle : No , no , that s , uh , that s okay . I got some time .
Daisy : You ca nt pin Lucy s disappearance on me .
Ricky : Think about it objectively . I found the kid , and I got her safely back into her daddy s loving arms .
Daisy : Because you took her .
Ricky : And what would I gain from your little girl going missing for a while ? Nothing , but you-- you got full custody , and you re a known kidnapper .
Daisy : But I--
Ricky : And the proof can be created , daisy . Do you really want Daniel setting a world record for getting a divorce while you go back to prison ?
Daisy : Fine . You can have the place . I m done with it anyway .
Ricky : ( Chuckles ) see ? Was that so hard ? There is no reason why the two of us ca nt get along ... and it d be very smart of you to remember that .
Paul : Rachel committed suicide after her boyfriend broke up with her .
Melissa : That s what Ricky , uh , the boyfriend , wanted everyone to think-- that she was devastated because he left her .
Paul : But that s not what happened ?
Melissa : Rachel kept trying to break things off , and he kept convincing her not to .
Paul : How ?
Melissa : He would nt give up . He could be so charming and appealing . Then he would get moody . That relationship should never have gone on as long as it did .
Paul : Who ended it ?
Melissa : She did . I was so happy when Rachel finally told him that they were over . I never thought that he ...
Melissa : Rachel had no family and just a few friends , so when she died , when they said she killed herself , it was just ... accepted .
Paul : But not by you .
Paul : Look , Melissa , forgive me for saying this , but it had to be extremely difficult and painful to realize that your best friend chose to end her own life .
Melissa : She worked so hard . Rachel was a gat student . She had a job lined up . Why would someone who beat all of the odds even to get to college choose to die the week of graduation ? She would nt . She did nt . I know what it looked like , but it was nt a suicide .
Paul : Okay , so do you have any proof of this , or ...
Melissa : No . But I never trusted Ricky . There s something wrong with him .
Paul : So you think her -- her boyfriend , um , had something to do with her death ?
Melissa : I ca nt prove it , but in my heart , I know he did . Uh oh ! !
Michael : Yes , my wife and I would like to cancel our appointment today . Yeah , I m sorry . We will no longer be needing a place after all . No . Thank you .
Avery : Daniel could nt have had better timing .
Lauren : He s looking out for Lucy and for us . I just -- I ca nt believe what he s doing to his own life .
Michael : He loves his daughter .
Lauren : Well , clearly , but setting up house with daisy ? I mean , that s its own circle of hell . ( Knock on door )
Daniel : Hey , what are you doin here ?
Daisy : Can we move in ?
Daniel : Uh , yeah . Um , I thought that we were gon na meet back over at your place and , uh , finish packing up the rest of the stuff .
Daisy : Well , I mean , I have all the necessities in the car , and I can get the rest later . Just Lucy and I were so excited to be here with you , we could nt wait .
Kay : Yeah , victor .
Victor : I did not expect to see you again today . What brings you by ?
Kay : You are not listening to me , victor , and neither is Nikki .
Victor : So this is about Nikki .
Kay : You know , once and for all , the two of you need to stop the crap !
Victor : ( Laughs ) I like that .
Kay : Yeah ?
Victor : Uh - huh , to cut the crap . You and I do nt mince words , do we , Katherine ?
Kay : ( Sighs )
Jack : ( Exhaling rhythmically ) ( grunts ) ( panting )
Kyle : Wow , so your physical therapy gets pretty intense , huh ?
Jack : When you want something bad enough , you -- you do whatever it takes to get it . I m not quitting .
Kyle : Yeah , it looks that way .
Jack : You never returned my phone calls .
Kyle : I ve been busy .
Jack : Nikki and I have called it quits . It s -- it s over . We re friends , nothing more .
Kyle : ( Scoffs ) god . I have had a lot of people think I was an ass , but this is the first time in a long time I ve actually felt like one .
Jack : Wait , wait , what does that mean ?
Kyle : Look at what you re dealing with , dad . You re paralyzed . You re putting this epic effort into walking again , here comes your punk kid-- shows up and opens his big mouth--
Jack : Do nt call my kid a punk .
Kyle : Do nt wreck your life over something that I ... do nt like .
Jack : My going out with Nikki is obviously more than just a dislike for you .
Kyle : Well , dad--
Jack : I did something because what matters to you matters .
Kyle : Well , knowing that is -- is good , but I still ... I do nt know , I m just kind of taking this day by day .
Jack : Okay , you re saying you ca nt make any promises .
Kyle : I do nt think I m ever gon na get used to seeing you with Nikki . But if you want to see her , y - you should . You just ... do whatever makes you happy .
Jack : You mean that ?
Kyle : Yeah . Yeah , I do .
Jack : Then why d you move out ?
Kyle : Sometimes when I feel like decisions are being made about my life , I got ta pull away , just escape the noise , you know ? But I was nt trying to ... I do nt want to make decisions about your life , either . I just want my life to be mine , and ... ( chuckles ) and to not be an ass .
Jack : I think I can live with that .
Kyle : ( Sighs )
Nikki : Oh , I m -- I m sorry for interrupting .
Kyle : No , you did nt . I ll see you later , dad .
Jack : Kyle . Kyle . Thanks for stopping by .
Jack : ( Exhales deeply )
Nikki : Well , am I wrong , or did things seem to be okay between the two of you ?
Jack : Oh , I d say things are better than okay . And , boy , am I glad you dropped by .
Lauren : ( Chuckles ) eating in our own kitchen-- oh , I ca nt wait !
Michael : Yeah , sleeping in our own bed , being annoyed by the creak in our own hallway , and eating -- that s good .
Lauren : Eating is so good .
Michael : ( Chuckles )
Lauren : ( Chuckles ) ohh .
Michael : Avery !
Avery : Hmm ?
Lauren : I m sorry . We re boring you .
Avery : No , no , I m -- I m happy for you . I was just hoping to get a call by now .
Paul : ( Sighs )
Chris : Paul ?
Paul : Chris ! Oh , my god .
Chris : Hi .
Paul : Ohh , you re like my angel . What are you doing here ?
Chris : Uh , last - minute trip . Never mind that . What s wrong ?
Paul : I heard something today , and it started me wondering ... how much Ricky might be like Isabella . ( Elevator bell dings )
Eden : Uh , I thought you got all of your things out of my place .
Ricky : I did . This is for moving into my new place .
Ricky : I ll see you around , neighbor . ( Suitcase rolls ) ( door closes )
Daniel : I can , uh , post an ad to sublet your apartment .
Daisy : Uh , no , that s okay . It s already taken care of .
Daniel : That fast ?
Daisy : Done and done . All that matters is we re here , and we are so happy .
Daniel : Hmm . Why is she making that face ?
Daisy : Hmm ?
Daniel : Why are you making that face ?
Daisy : Ohh . She s trying to tell her daddy she wants a snack .
Daniel : Oh . Okay , well , I ll make it .
Daisy : No , you hold her . She likes when you hold her . Like mommy , like daughter . I ll make it .
Daniel : ( Quietly ) hey . Welcome home , Lucy Romalotti . Welcome home .
Kyle : So I owned up to being a jerk , and I told my dad he can see whoever he wants . ( Crunching potato chip )
Abby : Including Nikki ?
Kyle : Whoever means whoever , so yeah . Hey .
Abby : ( Scoffs )
Kyle : Why did you do that ?
Abby : Cause you made it sound like it was nothing when you just did something huge !
Kyle : ( Groans )
Abby : I m proud of you .
Kyle : All right , let s go eat .
Abby : ( Scoffs )
Nikki : That is wonderful . I m so glad Kyle finally reached out to you .
Jack : Oh , it s actually better than that .
Nikki : Tell me .
Jack : He told me he wants me to be happy .
Nikki : Ohh , how sweet .
Jack : Yeah . You know what the first thing came to my mind was ? I am happy ... when I m with you . I am happiest when we re together .
Jack : I think you know where I m going with this . I m in love with you , Nikk .
Kay : Darling , look , you can not afford to wait around because Nikki has found someone else , someone who appreciates her and wants to be with her .
Victor : ( Sighs ) Katherine , if you are pleading the case for that ... boy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth-- jack Abbott-- you know , if Nikki wants to be with him , so be it . Could nt care less .
Kay : Oh , come on . Come on , victor . You re -- you re so blasé about everything . I mean , I - I was with both of them earlier today , and my god , it was an eye- opener .
Victor : Really ? How touching . In what way ?
Kay : Well , I think jack is in love with Nikki , and I think Nikki is very vulnerable to him . And why should nt she be ? I mean , jack is kind , he s open , and -- and he treats her damn well .
Victor : So what are you getting at ?
Kay : I know the both of you have been hurt . I know that . But that does nt mean there s any less love between you . So come on , the both of you , get your act together before you cause more damage and you drag a lot of lovely people down with you . Uh , victor , just , you know , go to her . I mean , like now go to her .
Sharon : Are you two living together ?
Adam : ( Sighs ) that would be a yes .

Paul : That we know of .
Nikki : This is how I feel about you ...

Ava : You look like hell .
J.R. : This coming from the queen of the Mohawk hairdo ? Tell me , how is the hair growing back , by the way ?

J.R. : What ? You guys ?

J.R. : Ok , you know what ? You can just step right off your joke pedestal . You telling me you ve never made a mistake -- or 20 -- and that booze was nt involved with them ?
Ava : Well , that s different , and you know it .
J.R. : How is it different ?
Ava : Because I m not an alcoholic , J.R. I m not a drunk . Drunks are different . Yeah , it might start off all sloppy and fun and carefree . But then it changes fast , and it gets scary . And it s not like everybody else when you can be all over the place , it s like you get super - focused on something . It s never anything good .

Kendall : This car belongs to my husband , Zach Slater . There s obviously tons of damage , and -- and there s blood .
Officer : And your husband ?
Kendall : I told you , he s nowhere to be found -- that is what missing means , is nt it ?
Erica : And -- and here , there is a tire iron , so I m going to guess that Zach was outside the car changing a flat tire when --
Kendall : When someone hit him , ok ? Someone hit my husband , and now he s out God knows where , bleeding to death !
Derek : So you two really did think you were special , above the law ?
Jack : Derek , listen to me .
Derek : No , no , no , no , I do nt give a damn if Greenlee is your daughter , your girlfriend . She was in custody .
Aidan : Right , for something that she did nt do .
Derek : That s not for you to decide .
Aidan : Oh , and who are we going to leave it up to , then ?
Derek : Oh --
Aidan : Kendall ?
Derek : You know , him I get . But you ? Jack , the former D.A. , you should know better .
Jack : And when your daughter s in trouble , who are you first , huh ? Are you the chief of police ? No , you re a father , just like I am . Now , my daughter s being railroaded , and I m not going to stand by and watch that .
Derek : I know that it s rough on you , Jack , I understand , but my hands are tied , all right ? You know what kind of heat is coming on me . Now , I got to find her , and I m not going to let either one of you get in my way .
Derek : That s not far from here .
Jack : What s not far from here ?
Aidan : Did you find Greenlee ?
Derek : Something s come up . We need to make a detour on the way back to the station . Let s go .
Ryan : Annie and I just ca nt keep going like this -- waiting , wondering what Richie s going to do next . I have to -- I have to figure out how his mind works , for real this time . I got to figure out why he s doing what he s doing , why he s here , what he s up to . And how am I supposed to -- how am I supposed to know what somebody like that is thinking ?
Jonathan : He s thinking in tunnel vision right now , Ryan . He s walking one path . He has one goal . It s overwhelming in a way that you ca nt even imagine . Because this goal of his , this purpose -- it s all that matters to him . It s all that counts .
Ryan : Jonathan , do nt -- do nt do this .
Jonathan : Ryan , do you want to know what Richie s thinking ? Do you want to know all the sick places he s going to in his head ? Then ask me , because I ve been to every one of them .
Richie : Do nt look so worried , sis , I come in peace .
Annie : Richie , just go away .
Richie : Five minutes . Just let me have five minutes , ok ? I m dying , sis , quite literally . Do nt you think that could change someone ? Please , will you let me come in ?
Annie : So , you said you came to end things . What things , exactly ?
Richie : Well , this -- you and me , this family feud , whatever you want to call it .
Annie : After seven - plus years of plotting your revenge against me , you re just going to drop it ?
Richie : Yeah , yeah , because --
Annie : Because why ? Because you re dying ? I do nt buy it .
Richie : It s true .
Annie : You were dying when you tried to kill all of us on that plane . If that was an olive branch , I do nt want any more .
Richie : I was reacting to a stressful situation which you and Ryan put me in . I ve told you all of this before .
Annie : Right , right . What about all that stuff about you being so dangerous , because you have nothing left to live for ?
Richie : Maybe I do now . Look , I am trying to call a ceasefire here , ok ? I do nt know how much time I have left , but I know this -- I want to live in peace , maybe with a friend .
Annie : You talking about Babe ?
Richie : Yeah , I so hope so . She s willing to give me another chance , which is -- which is pretty amazing , considering I know what you two have probably told her about me . So what do you think ?
Annie : I think that is the biggest load of bull you ve fed me yet .
Richie : Why ca nt you let me have this ?
Annie : Have what , Richie -- peace ? I have nt had a second of peace since you came to Pine Valley , but you know what ? That s ok . I ve learned how to handle that . I ve learned to know what to expect from you , but Babe ?
Richie : What about Babe ?
Annie : Babe thinks you re actually a decent human being . But you re going to hurt her , Richie , like you always do .
Richie : Always ? Not always , sis . You just like to dwell on the bad stuff .
Annie : Not so easy to forget . If you really want me to believe you , just leave Babe alone .
Richie : Come on . I like her , she likes me , we have fun together .
Annie : What kind of fun ? Like let s go to the movies fun , or I m going to mess with your head and make you crazy fun or worse ?
Richie : You do nt really know me at all , do you ?
Annie : Oh , please , I know you better than anybody , Richie . And I also know your idea of fun always includes some kind of conquest . That s what Babe is , right -- just one last selfish notch on your belt before you go ?
Richie : Why is it so hard for you to believe I actually care for her ?
Ryan : Do nt compare yourself to him , ever . Annie s brother is the way that he is . He s been that way since he was a little kid , sick and -- and twisted and sadistic , all right ? You were physically ill . You had a tumor -- that s why you did the things that you did . He s got no excuse !
Jonathan : It does nt matter what the reasons were , Ryan . It does not matter . It does nt change the fact that I know the mindset . I know what s going on inside of Richie s head right now , and I can help you .
Ryan : I do nt want you to go back there .
Jonathan : You know that we never talked about what it was like for me -- after I killed Braden and Edmund ?
Ryan : Stop , please , stop .
Jonathan : It s ok , Ryan . I never told you what was driving me the whole time when I was abusing Maggie , when -- when I took a shot at you , when I tried to take down Kendall and Greenlee -- and Lily .
Ryan : That is not who you really are , Jonathan .
Jonathan : The surgery saved my life , Ryan . It took the anger away , but it does nt erase the memories . Ok , if I allow myself , I can remember every feeling , I can remember every bit in that dark place .
Ryan : You do nt have to do this , Jonathan , you do nt .
Jonathan : Yes , I do have to do this , Ryan , and I have to do it right now for you .
Erica : Derek -- oh , thank heavens you re here !
Derek : What happened ?
Kendall : It s -- it s Zach . We found his car , but -- but he s not in it , and we ca nt find him .
Erica : And -- and there s some blood on the ground .
Kendall : I -- I do nt know what happened .
Erica : Derek , you have to bring in every available officer to start searching the area --
Jack : Come on , Derek , can we lose the cuffs ? We re not going anywhere .
Derek : You make one move , your butt lands in a cell .
Aidan : I m not going anywhere .
Erica : Derek , what s going on ? Why are they here ?
Derek : Jack and Aidan are being held for obstruction of justice and harboring a fugitive .
Kendall : Greenlee . Where is she ?
Derek : Still missing . We found Mr. Devane all alone in a house out here with two motorcycles stashed nearby .
Kendall : Wait , you re saying that Greenlee is -- she s been out here tonight ?
Jack : There s no proof she s been anywhere near this site .
Kendall : Jack , does she have a car ?
Jack : I m pretty sure she s on foot .
Kendall : So then you do nt know ? You re not -- you re not sure ? Look at this . Look at this , this is blood ! If Greenlee saw -- if she saw Zach , she could ve gone after him , and she could ve hit him !
Derek : Get all available units out here for a search and get a Forensics tech , too . The first thing we need to do is test the blood and find out if it s Zach s . Do you know his blood type ?
Kendall : Uh -- O - positive .
Derek : Ok , good .
Kendall : I do nt believe this . I do nt believe this . She s out -- she s been out here , Mom , she s out here .
Erica : We -- we do nt know that yet .
Kendall : No , Mom , listen to me . When I set Greenlee up , I did it by telling her that -- that Zach had been in a car accident . Ok , so she -- so she made my lie come true . She s on the run because of us . So she saw her chance for payback , and she took it .
Aidan : What if Greenlee was out here , all right , and she bumped into Zach , and he just -- just decided to end it for good this time ?
Jack : Aidan , Aidan , Aidan , do nt do this , please .
Aidan : Look , Kendall is over there , right , worried about her husband . Meanwhile , that puddle of blood could very well be Greenlee s .
Jack : Stop it right now .
Aidan : I m -- I m worried --
Jack : Yeah , I know you re worried . I m worried , too , all right ? Look , let s just not go jumping to any conclusions till we find out whose blood that is .
Aidan : I ve got a bad feeling about this , all right ? It s just too much of a coincidence . What was Zach doing out here in the middle of nowhere ?
Jack : I do nt know , I do nt know . I d like to know that myself .
Aidan : You re going to have to convince Derek , all right , to let us go , ok ? I ca nt waste time going in for questioning . I need to be out there , Jack , I need to find Greenlee , I need to find her now .
Kendall : Greenlee hates me , Derek . What better way to get to me than to hurt my husband ?
Derek : You re reaching , Kendall . We ve got a fugitive on the run and a man fixing a flat . There is no evidence to suggest the two crossed paths .
Kendall : Well , there s no evidence to suggest they did nt .
Erica : What do you think , Aidan ? You and Greenlee have grown very close recently . Do you think that she s involved in what happened here ? You do , do nt you ?
Aidan : Until we know whose blood that is , we do nt know who s hurt or who s to blame .
J.R. : So , tell me more .
Ava : About what ?
J.R. : About me being an alcoholic . It seems like you re an expert on it , like you ve had some experience with some .
Ava : Oh , just drop it , ok ?
J.R. : I ca nt .
Ava : Why ?
J.R. : Because maybe if I hear your story , it might help me .
Ava : Yeah , ok .
J.R. : I m serious . I ve obviously hit a low . I ll take the help wherever I can get it . These guys , these drunks -- who where they ?
Ava : Well , you know I was scamming before I got into town to get money , right ? Stealing guys wallets to get cash ?
J.R. : Yeah . I heard something about that .
Ava : Yeah , well , let me tell you , it s a lot easier when they re wasted . I mean , at first , they re all sloppy and fun or whatever and into it . And then something snaps , and by that time you re already somewhere secluded where you ca nt get out , and they already think they re going to get some , so --
J.R. : So what happened when they snapped ?
Ava : Well , they re all different . Some of them pushed , some of them hit , some of them punched , some of them just screamed at the top of their lungs , but -- but they all lied . It s not me , it s just the booze . It s -- it s not how I usually am , I m a nice guy . Blah , blah , blah , blah , blah .
J.R. : Why did you put yourself in that position ?
Ava : I did nt have a choice -- a girl s got to eat . So , J.R. , did my sob story help you any ? Do you want to get on the right track now ?
J.R. : I thought I had it kicked . I thought I d never go back . That s the problem with booze -- as soon as you get cocky with it , it reminds you who s the boss .
Ava : But you do nt have to let it do that .
J.R. : It s not that easy .
Singer : I just stopped feeling ♪
J.R. : You want to hear the worst part ?
Ava : Oh , it can get worse ?
J.R. : I feel like hell , I look like hell -- I do nt even know what time it is -- and all I keep thinking about is having another drink .
Jonathan : The tunnel vision that I was telling you about -- it really is a tunnel . There s only one way to go . There s no way out . All you can do is move forward toward your goal . And it s -- it s not about having a decision . You do nt get to choose a path , you do nt have options you have this one purpose . You have this one reason for being . And if you do nt get there , you will die trying .
Ryan : Even though you know it s wrong ?
Jonathan : But you do nt . That s what it is -- you re not aware that it s wrong . All I knew was once I reached my goal , that I would be able to breathe again .
Ryan : Your goal ? And what was your goal -- revenge ?
Jonathan : Yes , it was -- on you , for leaving me to deal with Dad . In my mind , every fist on my face , every belt buckle against my back , every sandwich that he claimed was poisoned -- that all came from you . And I believed in that reality with everything inside of me , and that is what made me so dangerous , because I -- I was nt wrong , you all were . Kendall and Greenlee -- getting in my way . They kept me from doing the right thing , which in my mind -- in my mind , was taking you out -- even if that meant I was going with you . You ok ?
Ryan : I am if you are .
Jonathan : I do nt know how Richie intends to end things , Ryan , but I do know that first Annie , and now you , in his mind have been the ones to get in his way . And not for nothing , Richie s dying . I guarantee he plans on taking you both with him .
Annie : You really are insane .
Richie : Lucky for me , Babe does nt see me that way . No point in convincing you .
Annie : Leave her alone . She does nt deserve you .
Richie : Me ? Does nt deserve a guy who s into her , who can maybe learn to , you know --
Annie : What ? What , love her ? Oh , I wish that were possible . But you do nt know how to love , Richie . You never did . It was the one thing Mom wanted from you , it was the one thing that could ve saved her . But you could nt give it . And instead , you broke her heart .
Aidan : What is Zach doing out here anyway , Kendall ?
Kendall : He was looking for a house for us to buy , something that he saw online .
Aidan : Oh , yeah , Zach does nt exactly strike me as a country bumpkin .
Kendall : Lily was the one who told me about it . When s the last time you remember Lily telling a lie , Aidan ?
Derek : No sign of Zach at any of the hospitals within a 100-mile radius .
Kendall : Ok , well , how do they know ? Maybe he does nt have his wallet with him .
Derek : No John Doe s match his description , either .
Kendall : Well , then he s still out there .
Erica : Derek , look , there must be something more you can do -- bring in more officers , get the state police involved . Do you want me to get the governor on the phone ?
Derek : Leave the investigation up to me . We ve got this under control .
Jack : Let me ask you something , Kendall . Were you going to do the right thing when you stood up in that courtroom ? You just sat there , and you watched Greenlee put a knife in her heart every time she told one of the lies that constituted her confession , lies you created . Ok . Why d you have to go after her ?
Kendall : Why did you have to defend Greenlee the first time she took my baby ? None of this would be happening right now . This -- this would all be over , but it s not , and now here we are .
Jack : You know , you can go back and forth and play the who hurt who game from now until the end of time , but the fact is we all -- all of us -- make mistakes , Kendall .
Kendall : Yes , and some of them bigger than others , but none of them bigger than this . Jack , it s over . Greenlee finally won . She did the one thing that she knew I would nt recover from -- she killed my husband .
Jack : All right , Kendall , I know how upset you are , so I m going to let that last comment go .
Kendall : Yes , and I also know how upset Greenlee is -- enough to run down Zach .
Jack : You know what ? We have no idea what the hell happened here tonight , but we do know one thing , do nt we ? We do nt need any more false accusations .
Jack : My daughter has a very rare blood type , it s AB - negative . Did they tell you that ?
Officer : They did , sir . We re all through here .
Jack : No , I do nt want to hear that you think Greenlee s responsible , so just do nt .
Erica : Jack , we do nt even know that she was here .
Jack : Oh , come on , Kendall -- she s very certain .
Erica : Because she s terrified -- we all are . Jack , I hope that blood does nt belong to Zach or Greenlee . I do nt want anyone to be hurt here . I hope you know that .
Officer : I have the results . This blood s O - positive .
Jack : Oh , thank God .
Kendall : Right . Right , because this is good news for you , is nt it , Jack ?
Jack : All right , all right , Kendall , I m sorry . I did nt mean it that way , and you know that .
Kendall : My husband s -- my husband s blood is all over the road here , but we could all breathe a huge sigh of relief because Greenlee is fine .
Erica : Now , honey , I am sure that Jack was nt thinking that .
Derek : O - positive is a common blood type .
Kendall : Yes , O - positive is also Zach s blood type , and this is Zach s car ! Why do nt you go celebrate , Jack , go celebrate .
Jack : Nobody wanted this to happen , Kendall .
Kendall : Yes , but it did . It did , and I think your daughter is responsible for this .
Aidan : Hey , listen , you ca nt blame Greenlee for everything that happens .
Kendall : No , no , only the bad things .
Aidan : We do nt even know if Greenlee was here .
Kendall : Yes , but you know what ? We know that she s on the run somewhere , and she s scared . And let s face it -- it s not like she s never hurt anyone before .
Jack : All right , just stop it , Kendall , just stop it right there . You know what ? You want to start hurling blame at people , why do nt you go take a long look in the mirror first ?
J.R. : I have nt really fought the big fight with the bottle in a while . But it knows . The moment you think you got a handle on it , it just comes right back to bite you . And every excuse is an excuse to drink . Crappy days are no longer just crappy days , they re an excuse to get loaded . Like when my network went down in flames because my star backed out -- again , an excuse to get loaded . And when life is a little rough on you , all I could think about was having another Scotch . I can taste it , smell it , like I ve never wanted anything so bad in my life .
Ava : Wow , J.R. Sounds like you re talking about a woman or something .
J.R. : Well , it s a lot like that . The lust , knowing that you want something so bad , but you ca nt have it -- like you .
Ava : Like me ? What ?
J.R. : Yeah , I was lusting after you like I would alcohol . And I -- I wanted you bad , Ava .
Singer : Me , I m looking for love ♪
J.R. : But then I felt guilty after we did .
Ava : We did nt do --
J.R. : No , but -- but we came close , and it made me feel like I was cheating .
Ava : Yeah . It s like -- it makes you feel awful . Makes you feel stupid and , like , Why am I risking the best thing that s ever happened to me ?
J.R. : Yeah , it s -- that s how I feel when I take a drink -- like I ve just cheated on the only thing that takes care of me , my sobriety . Oh , God , J.R. , shut up already . It s not like I m in a confession or something .
Ava : Hey , J.R. ? If you ca nt talk to the face of Fusion , who can you talk to ?
Jonathan : After everything I did to you , you saved my life .
Ryan : Yeah , because I love you -- and so did Erin .
Jonathan : God , I miss her .
Ryan : So do I , every single day .
Jonathan : I owe you everything , Ryan .
Ryan : See , that s not how it works with us . All right ? Just having you back is all the thanks that I need .
Jonathan : That s not enough for me . I will keep Richie away from you guys . You just say the word .
Ryan : Thanks , Hockett .
Annie : Do nt do to Babe what you did to Mom .
Richie : What I did ?
Annie : I mean , they re both so similar -- beautiful women with these big , open hearts . You destroyed Mom , Richie , and now you re going to destroy Babe , too .
Richie : I will never hurt Babe . Babe is the only person who s been decent to me in this entire town , the only person who s given me a chance . I feel like she knows me -- at least , the person I want to be . I used to roll my eyes when I d hear people talk about someone that makes them feel alive , but it s not a joke . I have nt felt this alive in I do nt know how long . Hey , better late than never , right ?
Annie : Richie --
Richie : I care about her , Annie . I care about her a lot , and if I m on my way out , I want her by my side when I go .
Ava : Hey , remember when you said that Fusion still had its face , but it was looking for its ass ?
J.R. : Yes . I m sorry about that .
Ava : No , no . I know I was acting heinous towards you , but I was cracking up the whole way home because --
J.R. : Really ?
Ava : Yep . It was hilarious .
J.R. : Thanks . If you give me a few minutes , I m sure I can come up with some more . Oh , my God . I do nt even know how I got here .
Ava : Are you serious ?
J.R. : Yeah -- it s a total blackout .
Ava : Well , you only left here , like , a couple hours ago .
J.R. : Yeah , but I can get drunk in a real hurry when I want to .
Ava : Jeez , J.R. , you re lucky you re ok .
J.R. : Hmm . Tell me about it . I guess I should go see if my car is out there .
Ava : Yeah . Good luck .
J.R. : Thanks -- you know , about everything .
Singer : And it hurts when you re alone look in ♪
Erica : Now , you wait a minute , Jack . I know that emotions are running high , but do nt you dare insinuate that Kendall s to blame . Have you forgotten that -- that it s Greenlee who started all this ?
Jack : What , are you joking ? As if you and Kendall would ever let us forget .
Aidan : Look , Greenlee made a mistake . You know what ? She d be the first to tell you that , if anyone would bother to listen to her .
Erica : Do you really expect me to feel sorry for the woman who kidnapped Spike ?
Derek : All right , enough , all of you ! Being at each other s throats is not going to help this investigation . So will you please knock it off ?
Kendall : Talk to me , Zach . What happened to you ?
Annie : I want to believe you , Richie . I d give anything to look at you and see the brother I loved when I was little .
Richie : He s right here . Ask Babe -- that s who she sees .
Annie : But is it real ? Or is it just what you want her to see ?
Richie : It s real . I swear .
Annie : Do nt do it again , Richie . Please . Do nt hurt her .
Ryan : Hey , get away from her .
Jonathan : Hi . You waited .
Ava : For you ? Of course .
Jonathan : Oh , sure .
Ava : What s wrong ? You look a little beat .
Jonathan : Thanks . No -- hey , I m better now . I m sorry that I left you here alone .
Ava : I was nt alone . I mean , it s a bar . But you were gone for a long time . Is there a problem , something happen ?
Jonathan : It s a long story . Can I tell you on the way home ? Come on .
J.R. : Is that blood ?
Derek : I m sick and tired of everyone in Pine Valley thinking the law does nt apply to them . Throwing money around like it can buy justice , not to mention ignoring my authority and my officers . Between you all and the Chandlers , you think you can get away with murder .
Greenlee : Get off me .
Greenlee : Get off me .
Zach : What happened ? Where the hell are we ?
Colby ( to Tad and Adam ) : I was hoping for a favor .
Tad : We ve been set up .
Annie ( to Ryan ) : You want Babe to be a spy ?
Kendall ( to J.R. ) : What did you do to my husband ?
Greenlee ( to Zach ) : This may sting a bit .

### Dialogue:
Kate : Well , Kristy , did you see our ad in Bella ? Who did my makeup ? [ Sighs ] Do nt hire her again . I look like a reject from Moulin Rouge !
Daniel : [ Exhales deeply ]
Kate : I m going to have to call you back . Something just came up . I thought I was the only one out here .
Daniel : You re sitting on my towel .
Kate : Oh .
Daniel : Yeah .
Kate : Sorry .
Daniel : No . It s okay . Good thing I did nt go skinny - dipping .
Nicole : [ Sighs contentedly ] Home sweet home . Sorry . I m presuming .
E.J. : Yeah . A little bit .
Nicole : Well , since you never answered my question before -- what are we gon na go now ? -- I guess I m gon na have to come up with my own answer . So , as of now , I m moving in ... [ Sighs ] ... Although I hope you ll let me brighten up the place . It s a little dark and drabby . However [ Chuckles ] this can stay . This is nice . Wow . Very nice . You know , Victor s digs were swanky , but , uh , this is first - class . Pookie and I are really gon na love living here .
E.J. : So , that s what this is about , is it ? I should have guessed .
Nicole : What ?
E.J. : You say you want to have a baby with me ? A second chance at life ? It s just about money for you , is nt it ?
Nicole : Wow . You really can read between the lines , Elvis DiMera . And you re right . That s all I care about . Money , money . Show me the money .
Sami : Tsk .
Lucas : Hey .
Sami : Oh . Hey . Hey . Oh , uh , what do you think of this shirt ? Does it make me look pregnant ?
Lucas : Is that a trick question ?
Sami : I m serious . This makes me look like the side of a house , does nt it ? Oh , God !
Lucas : Sami , you re pregnant . It does nt matter what you wear . People are gon na find out , especially E.J.
Sami : Okay , okay . I do nt need a lecture . My plan is gon na work perfectly . No one s gon na find out I m pregnant . E.J. wo nt even notice that I ve been gaining weight .
Chloe : He s not blind , Sami . E.J. s gon na know exactly what s going on .
Lexie : You sure love your trucks , do nt you , sweetheart ? Oh , silly question . Of course you do .
Chelsea : Hey , guys .
Theo : Chelsea !
Chelsea : Hey , buddy .
Lexie : Wow . Somebody s happy to see you .
Chelsea : Well , the feeling is mutual . I ve been looking forward to your play date all day . [ Gasps ] Look at those trucks . Are they new ?
Lexie : Thanks for spending time with him outside of work . I think it s helping .
Chelsea : Yeah . No problem . He s my buddy . I love spending time with him . By the way , I saw what your babysitter did at the press conference .
Lexie : Ex - babysitter .
Chelsea : Yeah , well , I wanted to reach through the TV and strangle her .
Lexie : Yeah , we believe the mayor put Lacey up to it -- used her to play dirty .
Chelsea : It s amazing how low some people will sink .
Lexie : Mm - hmm . Abe wants to fight , but after they dragged Theo into it , I m done . I do nt want any part of the campaign .
Chelsea : Does that mean you re giving up ?
Abe : I tell you , these are vicious lies . What possesses these people ?
Evan : It s the anonymity of the internet , and the mayor s getting the exact response he wanted .
Abe : [ Sighs ] Damn that man . You know , my family is being portrayed as being completely dysfunctional , and I m its spineless center .
Evan : And I m afraid it s about to get rougher . My sources tell me the mayor has done some heavy - duty bedding of your wife . Apparently , Marino has learned of her past affairs with Tek Kramer and your son Brandon Walker . And he s about to make those past indiscretions public .
E.J. : So , you admit it , hmm ? It s just all about the money for you .
Nicole : What else could it be ? You know what Sami said -- I m a money - grabbing slut . Well , now that you re onto me , E.J. , I guess the jig is up , huh ? [ Scoffs ] I m out of here . Nice knowing you , E.J. Fun while it lasted .
E.J. : Nicole , wait . Stop . Come on . Stop . Please .
E.J. : Look , I accused you unfairly . I m sorry . I m just rattled by this . I m obviously not thinking straight .
Nicole : Well , I can tell you that now that I do nt have victor s settlement , it s -- it s comforting to know that my baby has a roof over its head . E.J. , my concern is the baby .
E.J. : Of course . I understand that . I just could nt help but feel that I was being ambushed -- that you planned this .
Nicole : How could I have planned this when I was told I could nt get pregnant ? Look , our encounter in the elevator produced a miracle , E.J. No , it s not exactly how a girl dreams of conceiving , but I feel blessed that it happened at all .
E.J. : But I know your history with Victor . Nicole , your marriage was based on portfolios and bank accounts . There was no love there . I m sorry . I do nt want that .
Nicole : My marriage to Victor is something I m not proud of , E.J. , okay ? In fact , I m ashamed of it , truth be told . But -- wait a minute . Are you saying you want to marry me ?
Lucas : Chloe , I did nt hear you come in .
Sami : Uh , yeah . What exactly do you think is going on ?
Chloe : Well , it s pretty obvious . You re getting older . You ve popped out three kids . You re worried about hanging on to E.J. You start snacking a little more and pack on a few pounds . Hey , so what ? I m sure E.J. does nt care about superficial things like that . He loves you for what s inside -- that big , soft heart of yours .
Sami : Right . Well , you re right about that . That s exactly why E.J. loves me .
Chloe : So romantic .
Sami : Yeah . Yeah . You know , I m gon na let you two , um , talk .
Lucas : You all right ?
Sami : Yeah . I got it . See ya .
Lucas : Um , I had no idea you were coming home from Kansas City today .
Chelsea : Yeah . I caught an earlier flight .
Lucas : Well , that s great . I m so glad . I can not wait to get you alone .
Chloe : Oh , really ? Well ... get rid of Sami and we can take one of our famous hot showers .
Lucas : [ Exhales deeply ]
Chloe : What ? Oh , if you re worried about being rude , then I have no problem kicking her out myself .
Lucas : No , no . You ca nt do that .
Chloe : Why not ?
Lucas : Because she s , um , she s gon na be staying with us , uh , for a while .
Lexie : I do nt want to give up . I mean , I know how important this is to Abe . I m j-- I m just not cut out for this kind of cutthroat campaigning .
Chelsea : Are you kidding me ? You re one of the strongest people I know .
Lexie : If it was just me , it d be much easier , but when people attack my little boy ... no . He s already got a tough road ahead of him .
Chelsea : Yeah , but he s got you to protect him . And if things get too overwhelming for you , you know , you have your husband . I just hope that one day I can find somebody as dependable and strong as Abe .
Lexie : I thought you already had .
Chelsea : Yeah , so did I.
Lexie : Does that mean that you and Daniel are completely over ?
Daniel : So , I m not the only one taking advantage of this warm weather .
Kate : Indian summer ?
Daniel : Yeah .
Kate : I thought it might be my last chance to enjoy the weather . Not because of -- I mean , because of the end of the season .
Daniel : No , no , I was nt thinking --
Kate : Anyway , Victor s been so worried about me . I used his guilt to my advantage . I m now using his driver . He offered me his pool .
Daniel : Victor was kind enough to let me use his pool , too . So , um , I take it you re feeling better .
Kate : Oh , I am . I am . I have nt been coughing . My breathing s been better . So actually I think things are looking up .
Daniel : Well , that s good to hear .
Kate : Yeah . Yeah . Um , I might have made an inroad with Chelsea , as well .
Daniel : Really ?
Kate : Yeah . I mean , she has nt forgiven me , but I think we re on the way to a reconciliation .
Daniel : Maybe if you explained everything about your condition , she --
Kate : No , no , no , no . No . I do nt want to do that . I do nt want her to forgive me because she feels sorry for me . I want her to come around .
Daniel : All right . All right . Your call . Your call .
Kate : Because actually , I mean , I do nt think there s going to be anything to tell her about . I mean , I have nt gotten my biopsies back yet , but I m feeling pretty optimistic . Daniel ... I may not have seen my tests yet , but why am I getting the feeling that you have ?
Chelsea : My relationship with Daniel is over .
Lexie : Oh , Chelsea . Did nt we talk about your moving past what happened between Daniel and Kate ?
Chelsea : Um , yeah , we did , and I tried , but I ca nt forgive either one of them .
Lexie : Getting over betrayal takes time .
Chelsea : Every time that I see Daniel , I feel really awful . I d rather just not deal with it , you know ?
Lexie : Do nt close your heart off to Daniel . Even if you do nt end up getting back together , just try to find a way to forgive him . I mean , you wo nt be at peace until that happens .
Daniel : No , I have nt received your biopsy results . I ve been calling the lab every hour on the hour . Nothing yet .
Kate : So , why were you so uneasy when I brought it up ?
Daniel : You said you felt optimistic , and , uh ...
Kate : But , then , you do nt ?
Daniel : No , I m just being protective . I want you to have hope , but I also want you to just be prepared for whatever we find out .
Kate : Look , I know how serious my condition is , okay ? I do . But today I do nt want to think about it . I do nt want to think about my illness . I do nt want to think about Hearth and Home . I do nt want to think about the price of gasoline . I just want to think about this beautiful day .
Daniel : Seize the day .
Kate : Yeah . So , what do you say we split a bottle of wine ?
Daniel : I ll go break into the wine cellar . [ Cellphone rings ] It s the lab . Yeah ? What do you got ?
Chloe : Damn it , Lucas . How could you let her move in here without talking to me about it first ?
Lucas : You were out of town , all right ? I did nt want to bother you .
Chloe : Lame .
Lucas : It was just for one night at first , and then it turned into this extended thing . That s it .
Chloe : Oh , I ca nt believe this . Well , what s wrong with you ?
Lucas : Hey , look , we re not together , okay ? That s true . But we do have kids . She s an important part of my life .
Chloe : That does nt mean you have to share a house .
Lucas : Look , I m just helping her out . She needed a place to stay . That s all .
Chloe : Why ? What happened with the mansion ? Do nt they have 200 extra bedrooms there ?
Lucas : Yeah , but she ca nt stay there now .
Chloe : Okay . Then why not at her mother s or her father s ? Why does she have to invade our dinky , little cabin and make us miserable ?
Lucas : I know it s not an ideal living situation , but maybe you could give it a try -- give it a whirl -- before you freak out .
Chloe : Listen , Lucas , I like playing house with you and Allie -- sometimes -- when she s not crying her head off or you re not being neurotic .
Lucas : Neurotic ? Me ? Come on .
Chloe : Yeah . Obsessing about her , checking on her every 10 seconds . But do you ever check on me ?
Lucas : I do nt need to check on you . It s different .
Chloe : You know what ? This place is cramped and dark and always smells like dirty diapers . And now with Sami here -- you know I m claustrophobic .
Lucas : It does nt smell . Come on . You re over - reacting .
Chloe : No , I m not .
Lucas : Just wait a second .
Chloe : You know what ? You can call me when Sami s gone . Until then , I m not here .
Lucas : Come back . Come on .
E.J. : That was not what -- sorry . I did nt mean that to come out like that . Nicole , I m just -- I m commenting on what I know I do nt want if ... I get married again .
Nicole : Right . I should have known . It s not like you got down on one knee .
E.J. : Nicole , I m still trying to process the fact that we are having a baby . I mean , marriage is about the last thing on my mind . We have nt even had a first date yet .
Nicole : I know . And here I am pushing you to get married , to -- to tie the knot . I mean , whatever happened to playing hard to get ? That is what turns guys on , right ? Cool , unattainable women ?
E.J. : Not necessarily .
Nicole : You re just saying that . You know damn well you ca nt stand it -- all this neediness .
E.J. : That s not it , Nicole . It s just that you moving in here would be really ... complicated .
Nicole : Complicated ? Mm - hmm . How ?
E.J. : Well , for one thing , you have my father . Believe me , if he finds out that he has a DiMera heir --
Nicole : He would take very good care of me and be a lot more welcoming than you . In fact , where is the grandfather of my baby ? I think it s time we share the happy news .
E.J. : Nicole , you will be making a mistake .
Nicole : No . The mistake was telling you , thinking that you give a rat s ass about me . Well , you know what ?
E.J. : Wait a second . Where are you going ?
Nicole : I m leaving , okay ? I m going home , because apparently it s not here .
E.J. : Fine . I ll give you a ride .
Nicole : No . You know what ? Do nt , please . Do nt bother . I would nt want to inconvenience you , okay ? I will just take a cab . [ Exhales deeply ] Maybe a bus .
Sami : All right . All right . [ Exhales sharply ] Okay . Hello .
E.J. : Hey , Sami , it s E.J.
Sami : Hey . So , uh , what do you want ?
E.J. : I m , uh , I m coming up to the island . I want to spend some time with my son . I m on my way .
Sami : E.J. , no ! You c-- [ Exhales deeply ] Damn it .
Mayor Marino : [ Clears throat ]
Stefano : Good afternoon , mayor . And to what do I owe this pleasure ?
Mayor Marino : I m sure you re well - aware by now that your son - in - law just announced his candidacy to run for my job .
Stefano : Mm - hmm . That s hardly breaking news .
Mayor Marino : This does nt bother you ? You approve ?
Stefano : Competition is good for the soul . Do nt you agree ? It gives impetus and meaning to the election process .
Mayor Marino : No doubt . I m just wondering where your loyalties lie .
Stefano : Yes . I see that you re a little nervous about that .
Mayor Marino : You should be nervous , too .
Stefano : Me ? [ Chuckles ] I do not get nervous , mayor .
Mayor Marino : I think you ll be nervous as hell if Carver gets elected .
Stefano : Abraham is family .
Mayor Marino : That s ... touching . But I doubt you ll be able to buy Abe the way you bought me .
Chelsea : I will work on the whole forgiving thing , I promise , with Daniel and Kate .
Lexie : Good , because holding on to anger only ends up hurting you .
Chelsea : Thank you for the advice .
Lexie : You re welcome . I can see why Theo responds so well to you . You re a very special person .
Chelsea : I do nt know about that .
Lexie : You are .
Chelsea : Do you mind if I take him to go play on the swings for a little bit ?
Lexie : Oh , yeah , go ahead . I m sure he d love it .
Chelsea : Come on , Theo . We re gon na go play on the swings , okay , buddy ? All right . Let s go .
Eric : Dr. Carver ?
Lexie : Yeah ?
Eric : I m Eric Lee . I m sure you ve seen my online news site .
Lexie : No . No , I --
Eric : You should check it out sometime . Meanwhile , I have a few questions I d like to ask you . Will you be willing to set the record straight on your affairs with Tek Kramer and your husband s son Brandon Walker ?
Daniel : Well , just send a copy of the report to my office , as well as Dr. Faulk s . Right . Thank you .
Kate : Okay . So , what did they say ? Is it good news or bad news ?
Daniel : The results that came back were inconclusive .
Kate : What does that mean ?
Daniel : The tissue and fluid collected showed no signs of malignancy .
Kate : Oh , my God . So , does that mean that I do nt have lung cancer ?
Lexie : You get that camera away from me .
Chelsea : What s going on ? Who are you ?
Lexie : A sleazy online reporter .
Abe : Lexie , let s get out of here . Come on .
Eric : Running away once again , Dr. Carver ? When the going gets tough , you bail . Is that what led to your affairs ?
Abe : You listen to me , you son of --
Lexie : No , no , no , no , no . Let me handle this . Today is your lucky day . I m about to give your seedy blog a major exclusive , so you make sure you re recording .
Eric : I m ready .
Lexie : Good . I refuse to comment on my past , but I do have a few things to say about my future .
Lucas : I have to go into town because Chloe made it off the island .
Sami : No . No , Lucas , you ca nt leave . E.J. just called , and he said he s coming . I need you to help me distract him .
Lucas : I ca nt do that . Helping you has gotten me in enough trouble as it is .
Sami : Lucas , c-- [ Knock on door ]
Lucas : Ooh . There it is . Showtime . Showtime . Oh , hey , E.J. Uh , I was just leaving . Take care .
E.J. : Well , Lucas sounds like he s finally warming up to me .
Sami : So , um , so , how s it going ?
E.J. : Me ? Good . Fine .
Sami : Why d you want to see Johnny so bad ?
E.J. : I do nt think I need an excuse to see my own son .
Sami : No . No . No , I did nt mean it like that . I just -- well , he s napping .
E.J. : Samantha , I told you I was coming here .
Sami : And I tried to tell you that he was napping , and you hung up on me . And I tried to call you back , but the reception here really sucks . So , anyway , you know how he gets when he does nt get enough sleep , and then it s hard for him to sleep through the night .
E.J. : Sure .
Sami : So , um , you can probably just go home .
E.J. : Um , okay . You know , to be honest , I - I did nt really come to see Johnny . I really need a friend to talk to .
Sami : Uh , uh , me ?
E.J. : Yeah . You . [ Chuckles ] [ Sighs ] This whole situation is such a complete disaster . I mean , I - I do nt know what to do . I m at my wit s end .
Sami : Oh , you mean about the whole Nicole thing ?
E.J. : Yeah . The whole Nicole thing .
Sami : So definitely she s carrying your child ?
E.J. : Yeah . It s been confirmed .
Sami : Well , then , what s there to sort out ? You re gon na be a father again . Congratulations .
E.J. : Thanks .
Nicole : Who s that ? [ Gasps ] Chloe ! Ooh , hi ! Ooh !
Chloe : Hi . Good to see you , too .
Nicole : I m so glad you re back . You have no idea . Come in , come in , come in .
Chloe : Hey , Pookie . [ Pookie growls ] She hates me .
Nicole : Oh , she hates everyone . I ve trained her well . Look , why do nt you have a seat ? I ll get you a drink . Please .
Chloe : Sounds great .
Nicole : I hope you re not in a hurry . I have so much to tell you . I do nt even know where to begin .
Chloe : Why do nt you start with this ultrasound of a baby ?
Sami : So , um , what comes next ? You gon na pop the question , make an honest woman out of her , as if that were possible ?
E.J. : I do nt know . It s kind of what I m trying to figure out right now .
Sami : Well , having a kid together -- that s gon na bond you for life .
E.J. : Yeah . Samantha , listen , can we --
Sami : You know , I have to tell you that I - I think it s amazing how life works , is nt it ? It s like a sign , you know ? It s fate s way of telling you that you and Nicole belong together .
E.J. : What ? What ? Sorry .
Sami : Do nt you believe in fate ?
E.J. : I do nt believe what you re saying . You hate Nicole .
Sami : Yeah , well , I mean , I m not exactly her biggest fan or anything , but , um , who am I to question fate ?
E.J. : I just always thought that maybe , you know , you and I were ...
Sami : We have Johnny , and we always will . Um ... I - I m tired all of a sudden , and -- and they ve worn me out , and so I was thinking maybe I might lay down with them , if that s okay with you .
E.J. : Yeah . Oh , go ahead . Do that . Um ... okay . Say good night to them for me , wo nt you ?
Sami : Yeah . Of course .
E.J. : Um ... thanks for the , uh , talk .
Sami : No problem . I will , uh -- I ll see you around .
E.J. : Yeah . Yeah . See you around .
Mayor Marino : If I m going to beat Abe Carver , I m going to need your support .
Stefano : I believe I ve already been more than generous with my support .
Mayor Marino : It s been adequate until now , but I m going to have to pull out all the stops for this campaign .
Stefano : Hmm . And what can I expect in return ?
Mayor Marino : Have nt I done enough to earn your backing ?
Stefano : Tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk , tsk . Mayor , where are your manners ? It is not polite to discuss favors among friends .
Mayor Marino : I need to know you re going to do everything in your power to help me beat your son - in - law .
Stefano : [ Chuckles ]
Mayor Marino : What is so funny ?
Stefano : I have never seen you so -- uh , what is the word I m looking for ? -- So , so threatened .
Mayor Marino : Will you help me defeat him ?
Stefano : Yes . Of course . On one condition .
Abe : Sweetheart ... you do nt have to do this .
Lexie : Yes , I do . This mayoral election is nt about our little boy Theo or his autism . It s not about my infidelities or the fact that Stefano DiMera is my Father . It is about Abe Carver . It s about his record as a civil servant -- what he has done and will do for this city and its people . If our current mayor is nt above mud - slinging , so be it . We wo nt stoop to his level . We ll face each question , each accusation with honesty and dignity . And we ll do it together . No matter what happens , I stand proudly next to my husband -- the most honorable , dedicated person I know .
Nicole : Looks like me , huh ?
Chloe : Is that a trick question , cause it kind of looks like an alien
Nicole : Oh , do nt listen to her .
Chloe : Is this some kind of scam ? Did nt you tell me that you ca nt have kids ?
Nicole : God blessed me with a miracle .
Chloe : Or you made a deal with the devil .
Nicole : Okay , now , do nt be such a cynic . If you think I m lying , why do nt you ask E.J. ? I mean , he made me get a paternity test , which I passed with flying colors , by the way . And now I m carrying Junior s Junior .
Chloe : Wow . Well , how s he taking the news ?
Nicole : Mm . He is nt exactly jumping for joy . In fact , he accused me of plotting to get pregnant to go after the DiMera fortune . So I walked out .
Chloe : Hmm . Must be an epidemic . I just walked out on Lucas .
Nicole : What ? Oh , my God . Give me the details .
Chloe : Well , I had just arrived from a much - celebrated performance at the Kansas City Midwest Opera ...
Nicole : Applause , applause , by the way .
Chloe : ... Only to find that Sami Brady has taken up residence at the Horton cabin .
Nicole : Oh , I - I knew about that .
Chloe : Thanks for the warning .
Nicole : I m sorry . I - I was gon na text you . So , how long is she gon na stay there ?
Chloe : Well , we are talking about Sami Brady here . It s probably gon na take an exorcist to get rid of her . [ Knock on door ]
Nicole : We re in luck . Maybe that s one now . Lucas .
Lucas : Chloe .
Nicole : Come on in .
Lucas : I ve been looking everywhere for you . Uh , I have to apologize .
E.J. : He s not the only one . I think I need to make an apology , too .
Daniel : Just because the results were inconclusive --
Kate : No . No , no , no , no . I know . I know . It does nt , uh ... [ Exhales sharply ] It does nt mean that I do nt have cancer . It just means that I might not have cancer .
Daniel : That s right .
Kate : So , what s -- what s next ?
Daniel : I know this has been a long , difficult wait . I mean , it was very difficult .
Kate : No . I mean , it s fine . I said I was nt gon na get my hopes up , but I think maybe I did .
Daniel : Well , that s understandable .
Kate : Yeah .
Daniel : So , why do nt I just go get us those drinks ?
Kate : Wait . I - I - I just want you to know that having you here today helped me . It helped me not think about my illness , and you did help me seize the day .
Daniel : I m glad . Why do nt I , uh , go get us those drinks ?
Kate : Stay here . You know , I think it s true what they say -- that when you face your mortality , you -- you see things more clearly . You appreciate the people that you care for more . And the thought of -- of wasting time -- of -- of passing up a chance for happiness ... or pleasure does nt make sense .
Daniel : No . It does nt .
Daniel : You see how I m holding your hand right now ? Do nt forget this feeling . When it seems like ... you re alone , like you ca nt do it by yourself ... you remember this moment and know that I am with you every ... step of the way .
Kate : I will . Thank you . But right now , all I want to think about ... is this beautiful day ... and being here with you . Nothing else .
Abe : So , what was it ? What changed your mind about me running for mayor ?
Lexie : Chelsea . She asked me if I was giving up , and I realized I could nt . Carver s do nt give up on things we believe in . And I believe in you with all my heart . I believe you can make a real difference as mayor , and I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that your campaign s a success .
Abe : Oh , I love you . I love you so much .
Mayor Marino : So , what s your condition ?
Stefano : Unfortunate as it may be , Abraham is married to my daughter , and , together , they have given me a grandson .
Mayor Marino : I m well aware of your family tree --
Stefano : I could not care less if you rip Abraham to bits -- hmm ? -- Destroy his reputation , his career . You do whatever you need to do . But ... you must leave Alexandra and her son , Theodore , out of it . Is that understood ?
Lucas : I just wanted to say you were right . I should have asked you before I told Sami she can move into the cabin . Even though it s only temporary , if you do nt want her there , I ll help her find another place to stay .
Chloe : [ Sighs ] She can stay ... as long as she does nt cause any trouble . Every time she s around , you have a habit of getting sucked into her tangled web . What s that look for ? Has that already happened ?
Lucas : No , I m not sucked into her web or bed or anything . You re the woman I want to be with . Come on . I mean , you know that , do nt you ? You re my future . You re the one I want to be with .
Chloe : Great . Very reassuring .
Nicole : So , what do you think , Pookie , hmm ? Should we accept this guy s apology ?
E.J. : I do nt know . Pookie seems a little bit skeptical .
Nicole : Yeah . It s cause she s smart . She can smell a phony a mile away .
E.J. : My apology is , uh , is very sincere .
Nicole : What s with the 180 ?
E.J. : Could we just leave it at I came to my senses ?
Nicole : Well , I d pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate , but --
E.J. : You re not drinking champagne , thank you , not when you re carrying my child .
Nicole : So you re pleased about this -- that we re having a baby ?
E.J. : I am . I was a little ... confused in the beginning . It was a lot to take in . I really was nt sure how to deal with it all .
Nicole : I noticed .
E.J. : Nicole , if -- if you would let me , I d really like to be a part of our child s life , and I d like to be a part of your life . I thought a good place to start would be going on that date we keep talking about and never actually get round to .
Nicole : Well , it is a bit backwards , but , uh , I ve really never done anything by the book . Huh , Pookie ?
Sami : I m sorry , Johnny , that you could nt spend time with your daddy . But we re doing it because we want to protect your soon - to - be baby brother or sister . You know that , right ? You know that ? That s what it s all about , right ? I hope you ll understand ... that sometimes ... to protect the people that we love ... we have to make tough choices .
E.J. : I really want this to be special . It s ... overdue .
Nicole : You could say that .
Stefano : I could not possibly have heard you correctly .
John : I said , Game Over .
Lucas : Brookville Clinic ? Abortion ? Sami , what are you doing ?

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Nick : Hey .
Jackie : Nick ?
Nick : Yeah .
Jackie : Nick ?
Nick : I m right here . How are you feeling ? You know , you better hold off on that answer . They did a little brain surgery on you , Mom . So , it might take a little time for that noodle to start working . They had to go in and relieve a little pressure . That s it . Just pump your bilge . Reef your mainsail -- nothing to it . She tried to said to say something .
Dr. Hillman : This is going to take some time .
Nick : We re talking a full recovery here , right ? Doc , what s the story ?
Dr. Hillman : We did the best we could to relieve the pressure . But she could have a long recovery to acceptable level of functionality , or she can have a quick recovery to something , something quite miraculous . It s impossible to predict this , this soon . Mr. Marone , listen to me . Listen to me . I understand that this is difficult . I know that . But we just have to wait and see . I ll check back shortly . Why do nt you give her some rest , okay ? She needs all the strength she can muster . And do nt give up hope . I ve seen miracles happen .
Nick : Damn you , Stephanie .
Nurse : There has been no change , as far as I m aware .
Stephanie : Have you spoken to the doctor recently ?
Nurse : Well , the charge nurse did , a few minutes ago .
Stephanie : And how was the surgery ? Was it successful ?
Nurse : It s probably too early to say .
Stephanie : Oh .
Brooke : Thanks , Donna .
Donna : For what ?
Brooke : For the change of clothes .
Donna : Oh , sure . No problem . Did you sleep any ?
Brooke : A little .
Donna : Where s Nick ?
Brooke : He s probably with his mother . He did nt leave her side all night .
Donna : There s something you -- you and nick both need to know , Brooke . I started to tell you last night , but the nurse interrupted us .
Brooke : Something about , There s never any accidents with Stephanie ?
Donna : I meant that . Literally .
Brooke : Are you suggesting that she pushed Jackie ?
Donna : I saw it with my own eyes . Stephanie pushed Jackie , shoved her right over the banister . Hard .
Jackie : You are the most despicable --
Stephanie : Let go of me .
Jackie : Shame on you .
Stephanie : Take your hands off me .
Jackie : Shame on you .
Stephanie : I m telling you stop !
Eric : Stephanie ? Are you all right ?
Stephanie : I m fine .
Eric : You left the house so early this morning .
Stephanie : I wanted to check on Jackie . I mean , after all , it happened in our home .
Eric : Yeah .
Stephanie : Although , maybe you re the one that should be checking on her . I mean , you ve been friends for a long time now .
Eric : What s that supposed to mean ?
Stephanie : Oh , I m sorry . I m just tense .
Lt . Baker : And why would you be tense ?
Stephanie : My goodness , lt . Baker , you pop up like a groundhog everywhere . With the same serious expression on your face everywhere .
Lt . Baker : I was here for another matter .
Stephanie : Oh .
Lieutenant baker : But I did hear about Jackie Marone . She was injured last night ? Rather seriously ?
Eric : There was an accident . Why do nt you do the tax payers a favor , and just let this one drop ?
Lt . Baker : I have nt picked it up yet .
Stephanie : Well , I can tell you what happened , Lieutenant . I mean , if you want take the time to listen . I ll tell you exactly what happened .
Nick : Who s going to speak for my mother ? Hmm ? Who s going to tell her version of the story ?
Donna : Anyway , things looked like they were going to heat up , so I took the kids out to get some ice cream . Anything to get them away from a cat fight .
Brooke : Thank you for thinking of that .
Donna : Of course . But Jackie had parked me in , so I went back in to get the keys to move her car -- and that s when I saw it .
Brooke : What ?
Donna : The whole thing . Stephanie and Jackie at the top of the stairs , right in each other s face . I could nt hear what they were saying , but you can see harsh words flying back and forth . There was a little tussle and then Stephanie shoved her .
Brooke : Oh , my God ! Over the banister ?
Donna : She s a strong woman . I was there , sis . It was no accident . Jackie was pushed -- period -- by Stephanie .
Lieutenant Baker : Mr. Marone , I m Lieutenant baker . How is your mother ?
Nick : She s not good , Lieutenant . She ca nt talk right now , she may never walk , but they think she s going to live .
Stephanie : Oh , God , Nick , I m so sorry .
Nick : What am I supposed to do with sorry , Stephanie ?
Stephanie : Calm down .
Nick : Do nt tell me to calm down !
Lt . Baker : Mr. Marone , please , I would like to hear what she has to say .
Nick : So would I. Go on , Stephanie . Talk .
Stephanie : Mrs. Marone came to the house last night unexpectedly , because I had nt invited her . She was very upset about the fact that she thought I was interfering with her son s marriage to my ex - daughter - in - law . So , we got into an argument . I asked her to leave several times and she did nt . A matter of fact , well , what happened , she followed me up the stairs , she grabbed my arm , I reacted , she lost her balance , I mean , my God , it happened so fast . I could nt even grab for her .
Donna : That s not true . Stephanie pushed her .
Brooke : Donna , no .
Nick : Well , now that you ve heard how this woman was an innocent bystander , who speaks for my mother ? Who tells her version of the story ?
Stephanie : Well , it was an accident , Nick . And your mother will tell you that when she s able to . And for any reason that she does nt , then she would nt be telling the truth .
Nick : You calling my mother a liar ? You bitch , you ! You are calling my mother a liar ?
Brooke : Nick --
Nick : I ll get proof --
Brooke : Stop it ! Nick , come on !
Stephanie : He s frightened . That s understandable , he s very concerned about her . But that was a little over the line .
Donna : Oh , you liar , Stephanie . And I m going to see to it that people find out about it . Just imagine , Stephanie Forrester in jail -- for attempted murder . She can barely talk , barely move . And she may be like that the rest of her life . And I m not supposed to blame who s responsible ?
Brooke : I m sorry , I did nt mean that .
Nick : Somebody else been have -- if somebody else had just seen what had happened .
Stephanie : Donna ? What are you doing here ? Ridge is nt scheduled to make an appearance today , if that s what you re hoping .
Donna : What s with you ? What happened to make you like this ?
Stephanie : Well , I do nt suffer fools gladly , if that s what you mean . I am exactly what I am , and I make no apologies for it .
Donna : You do nt apologize for anything ?
Stephanie : Not unless there s a reason .
Donna : How could there be ? You do nt do anything wrong , do you ?
Stephanie : I try not to . Well , if you excuse me , this conversation is rather tedious .
Donna : I heard what you told the lieutenant . That you and Jackie were fighting when she fell .
Stephanie : We were arguing . Arguing does nt cause someone to fall . I already told you Ridge is nt going to show up , so he s the only thing you re interested in .
Donna : And that bothers the hell out of you , does nt it ?
Stephanie : I do nt want you in his life , Donna .
Donna : Cause I m a Logan , right ?
Stephanie : No , because he s spoken for . And you re not good enough for him .
Donna : Such strong language . You re a bully , Stephanie . You bullied my sister , my father , my mother , and now you re trying to bully me , too . But watch out . One day , someone s going to stand up to you . And that someone might just be me .
Stephanie : Did you get him calmed down ?
Brooke : He has a right to be upset .
Stephanie : Yes , he does . Because he s frightened about his mother . But he has no right to blame me for her falling . And what s with Donna ? I m sorry , I know she s your sister . The truth is , she wants Ridge . I get the impression she will play any card in her hand to get him .
Brooke : What do you want me to do ?
Stephanie : Send her home .
Brooke : I do nt run her life .
Stephanie : Well , maybe you should . She s underfoot .
Brooke : Oh , Stephanie , enough !
Stephanie : Let s not mince words , okay ? I believe you re going to take ridge back . That being the case , you do nt need Donna around , making problems for the two of you .
Brooke : Do nt worry . I can handle Donna .
Stephanie : Maybe . Maybe not . I think she s going to be nothing but trouble .
Donna : Look what she did to you . You poor woman . She s not going to get away with this . I wo nt let her . Stephanie is one of those people who think the rules do nt apply to her . She s too smart , too special for the rules . I promise you , Jackie . She s going to learn that the rules apply to her just like everyone else . Nick , um , I was just talking to your mother .
Nick : Why were you talking to my mother ?
Donna : Look , I know we re not the best of buddies , but this should have never happened .
Nick : Well , that we agree on .
Donna : I know you blame Stephanie --
Nick : Do nt make excuses for that woman .
Donna : Nick , no , I want to help .
Nick : The help I need I m not sure you can give me . That s of course , you can fix her .
Donna : No .
Nick : Well , if you do nt mind -- hey . How are you doing ? Good . Good . I want to see that smile all the time . I m going to let you rest for a while , okay ? I just wanted to check in .

### Dialogue:
ED GORDON, host : This is NEWS & NOTES. I'm Ed Gordon.
ED GORDON, host : On today's Roundtable, reverse discrimination alleged at Southern Illinois University and the IRS cracks down after an anti-war sermon. Joining us from member station, WBUR, in Boston, Glenn Loury, professor of economics at Brown University. Also with us from Maryland, George Curry. He's the editor in chief of the National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service. And joining us from our headquarters in Washington, DC, Yvonne Bynoe, author of "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture."
ED GORDON, host : I understand Yvonne couldn't hear the exchange between the two congress people, but that George and Glenn could. Let me start with that before we go much further.
ED GORDON, host : Glenn Loury, when we hear numbers bandied about as we just did, and the idea of one congressman on one side of the political fence suggesting that money is going one place, the other suggesting it's not going in that place, it's going elsewhere, isn't this exactly what the American public is tired of?
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Well, the issue is complicated. Sure, the American public is tired of cross-fire style political debate. They want substance and they want their problems solved. But the issue is complicated. From my point of view as an economist observing this administration over the last few years, the tax policy has been heavily tilted toward the rich, the social policy in general has done nothing with the idea of compassionate conservatism. There is this drug benefit that has been legislated for the elderly, but it's breaking the bank. The government's running huge deficits. It's another replay of the Reagan-style move where you put the government in fiscal trouble and it has no wiggle room to do anything socially productive. So, I mean, I'm, you know, trying not to be too partisan about it, but I think the Democrats have by far the better of this particular debate.
ED GORDON, host : George, when you listen to that, beyond the numbers again, it becomes a question of whether or not the American public will soon grow totally weary of the idea of not being able to know, whether it be numbers or anything else that may be debated on Capitol Hill, who to believe.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : I think people--that would be a mistake. I mean, I think the American public does understand. They understand, for example, that these cuts for the most part are subsidizing the wealthy and that people on the other end, poor and middle class, are being crunched. They understand this. I think politicians make a grave mistake to underestimate the public understanding this, and they know that we can't afford it. They see what the deficits are. They--we just simply cannot afford it. But this administration wants to go headlong regardless of whatever economic factors are, that we're going to keep this tax cut for the wealthy in place and poor people--we'll just have to cut more of your programs. That's clear and people do understand that.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : But also, too, Ed, I did actually hear the exchange, and what I found a little chilling was the idea that this young man should not have the opportunity to go to Georgetown, the `Cadillac' of universities as he indicated. Are we either going to not invest in education? We seem to be behind the curve in so many places, education being one of the key places. So why should he have to go to a `what's-a-matter U' or some other lower-end university? I don't think it's so much about working-class persons subsidizing someone who opts or who was admitted to an elite university. I think it's about our priorities. And I think, as was just said, we talk about this compassionate conservatism, we talk about an importance of education, but really when the rubber meets the road, we see another situation going on. And these budget cuts are just indicative of that.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : And I think another point is you understand that, you know, people should get a chance to go to whatever school that their intellect takes them. If you're going to say the only people who are poor can go to schools that are not elite, than you want the richest in the country can only go to elite university and everybody else gets co-signed to everything else. No, that's the whole purpose of having age--aid and assistance so that people can go wherever they want to go.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : And that's the whole point of a society based on merit and not based on money, and again we hear the Republican rhetoric talking about that. But again, here in practical sense, now they're singing a different tune.
ED GORDON, host : Glenn Loury, you've taught at some of those elite universities, if you will. When you heard that from the congressman, what was your thought?
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Well, there is an issue here of how much is going to be granted, how much is going to be loaned, for any given total amount of aid that goes to someone wanting to go to college? My thought was that if a young man is smart enough to get himself into Georgetown, it's a darn pity if he can't go there because he doesn't have the money. But that does not mean that we have to simply give him whatever it is--the $25,000 or $30,000 a year. We can also ask him to take some responsibility. I think that much of the sort of conservative side of that debate is fair. We can ask the students to take some responsibility. But my bottom line would be, one way or the other, a youngster with that kind of talent and promise, we must...
ED GORDON, host : But, Glenn, let's be honest.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : ...for the future of our country--yeah?
ED GORDON, host : Even if a kid takes on that kind of responsibility in terms of finding a job, he's not going to find a job that's going to subsidize the difference in whatever the family income is going to be and whatever makeup has to be given through aid.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Oh, Ed, that's certainly right. No, I'm not saying that. He needs help. I'm just saying he may actually take some loans as well as getting some grants. That's all I'm saying.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : But that was my understanding.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : In which case, he would be...
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : Yeah, I thought that he did indicate that he had work study as well as loans. So I guess the question is what percentage of a college tuition payment are we expecting or we should expect the government--and I think that's a clearly debatable point that has some legs.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : That's my point. Yeah.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : But I think that, as was said stated, we should allow people to go as--where their intellect does take them.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Right.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : And whether that's the `Cadillac' of universities or not, so be it.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Right.
ED GORDON, host : Well, the real shame is that education will cost you 30,000, $40,000 a year no matter where you go, and that can be problematic for almost anyone.
ED GORDON, host : All right. We'll take a look at the Bush administration. And it's suggesting that it may sue Southern Illinois University for discriminating against whites, men and others. The Justice Department alleges that the fellowship programs that they're engaged in helping minorities and women violate federal civil rights laws. The university has sent a letter that charges that the program has a pattern of intentionally discriminating against whites, non-preferred minorities and males. And the university has until November 18th, just a few short days from now, to stop the program or face a lawsuit. George?
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : Well, first of all, let's put it in perspective. These are only three fellowships, and 12 percent of those scholarships--or fellowships, rather, went to whites. There are many more fellowships that are open to everybody, and--as these were obviously. And the whole idea is to end the underrepresentation. You have less than 8 percent of blacks and Latinos part of their whole graduate school. So they're trying to do something to increase it. And this is the farce in this whole thing. These right-wing groups that brought this complaint--the Center for Equal Opportunity, which is misnamed--basically are using laws which were designed to help people of color and use them--turn them on their heads, so you use--they're using the 14th Amendment, the equal protection clause, and Title VII, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin--using these tools that were designed to help people of color, and using them to oppress them. And that's the irony in this whole thing.
ED GORDON, host : We should note that the university...
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : This is ideology...
ED GORDON, host : ...has suggested that they do not believe these fellowships, in fact, discriminate against anyone. They'll take a look at it. They declined whether or not they're going to suggest that the university will fight or submit to the decree that was sent down from the Justice Department. Go ahead. Pick up, guys. Sorry.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Yeah, I was just going to say this is ideology run amuck. The main impact of a lawsuit like this is the chilling effect it exerts on other institutions looking down the road who may be considering initiating programs of this kind to try to expand black and Hispanic presence in their graduate and higher education, but who don't want to end up in court. And as if the problem in this country was white people being discriminated against by universities, as if the sort of principle of what the civil rights laws were enacted for--people are always talking about the original intention of the Founders. They're invoking the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 here. But as if the principle and the vision of the framers of that act was to worry about black people not being able to get ahead because some fellowship program might be preferentially directed to them. And the bottom line on this is just going to be cynicism. Universities are going to say, OK, it's open to everybody. But they're still going bend and interpret whatever subjection discretion they have in the interest of increasing minority presence, which is a legitimate and, indeed, a vital national interest. The Supreme Court itself says that's it's a compelling governmental interest. So this is ideology run amuck.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : I...
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : I was in the Supreme Court when they made these arguments, and I was there when the decision came down in the Michigan cases. And whether they recognize it or not, the courts and the jurors decided--the justices decided that it's all right to have affirmative action. Now what has happened, though, is that some of these right-wing groups--in fact, one of them say specifically--they have contacted hundreds of schools and the mere threat of litigation has caused them to eliminate...
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Yeah.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : ...these programs. That has already has been happening. So they're able to get a victory through threats that they could not achieve through the Supreme Court.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : That's it.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : But I also think that on just taking it a slightly different way, I think that money is scarce. It's going to continue to get scarcer, as we talked about earlier, in terms of these budget cuts. And I think that we're going to have to take a different tact as African-Americans about financing education. There is a possibility that these type of fellowships and grant monies will not be available. So what does that mean? It means that people with means are going to have to set up private money to see that people are educated. And that's a concept that we talk about, we give a lot of lip service to, but there's plenty of money out there within churches, fraternal organizations, sororities and all of that. And we're going to have to do a better job by funnelling that money to universities that we feel serve our needs and be that majority or be that historically-black colleges and universities.
ED GORDON, host : All right. Continued peeking into the Justice Department, this and the Civil Rights Division, there are allegations by former and current employees, particularly lawyers, within that division, who are suggesting that they are being forced out, pushed out by the Bush administration if they, the lawyers, do not share the administration's views on the civil rights laws. There have been cries of increased litigation in the, quote, "non-traditional format" for the civil rights division, more of it looking into now human trafficking, prosecution of that nature vs. the racial and gender discriminations that have traditionally been handled by this division. Glenn Loury, how much of this can be looked upon as just the new world we live in vs. a political ideology shift?
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Well, I think it's a bit of both. I think no matter what, the role that civil rights law enforcement plays in the larger picture of dealing with race and racial inequality in the country was bound to decline. It was bound to decline.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : I think another thing that's going on is that the demography is shifting so that because of the huge immigration from Latin America and Asia that we are in the midst of--and that's been going on for 30, 35 years--we really have a different picture on the ground when we talk about minority and civil rights.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : But mostly, I think that the culture of the lawyers around the Bush administration and the kind of people who are likely to get appointed to positions like this, on the one hand, and the culture of the career employees in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department who have devoted their lives to crusading against discrimination, are completely radically different cultures, and that that's what we're seeing here.
ED GORDON, host : We should note that a Justice....
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : I think you look at the numbers...
ED GORDON, host : ...Department spokesman, Eric Holder(ph), noted that the overall attrition rate during the Bush administration, about 13 percent, is not significantly higher than that of President Clinton's shift, and that was 11 percent average during...
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : Did you say...
ED GORDON, host : ...the last five years.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : ...Eric Holder?
ED GORDON, host : Yes.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : Did you say Eric Holder?
ED GORDON, host : I'm sorry. Eric Holland.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : OK. All right.
ED GORDON, host : ...(Unintelligible)
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : I don't think he'd go along with this.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : I think the important thing here is, sure, you have the shifting of the lawyers, but let's look at the numbers. Prosecutions for the kinds of racial and gender discrimination generally held by the Civil Rights Division is down by 40 percent over five years, and this shift has been from civil rights traditionally--as the way we define it--and they sh--put more emphasis immigration matters. So much so that about half of their cases now regard--cover immigration. So you have a fundamental shift.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : You've always had change with the political appoints, regardless of whether the president--a Democrat or Republican. But what you have here is the political appointees basically pushing aside the career lawyers who have been traditionally litigating this area and we see a big drop in it--and that's bad for the country.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Yeah, I agree with that. Do you remember when Lonnie Guinier--when Clinton tried to appoint Lonnie Guinier to the job of assistant attorney general for civil rights? The Wall Street Journal...
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : Be a...
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : ...and the conservatives went berserk.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : Yeah.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : They basically lynched her in the press and turned her into a quota queen. Well, something far more radical has been happening, and not just at the Justice Department. Look at the United States Civil Rights Commission which is in the hand of ideologues who used to work for the Center for Equal Opportunity, which is the one that's bringing these lawsuits against these college fellowship programs. A much more radical shift to the right has happened in the civil rights establishment than anything ever threatened by the appointment of Lonnie Guinier and it has happened pretty much with the press and commentators having very little to say about it.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : But it also...
ED GORDON, host : But Yvonne, this goes back to a question we raise often during this Roundtable. And if we use the Lonnie Guinier example, it seems as though Republicans--conservative Republicans, in particular, circle the wagons and they go after what they deem as unfit. We are not seeing Democrats again playing that same game.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : Well, you're exactly right, Ed. I think that overall this has been a long-term plan where the Republicans have been planning and plotting to get their people into key places. And now that that has happened, they are pushing agendas that they feel are--fit their perspective. But that being said, I mean, where are the Democrats in this? Where have they been? And where are they going? I think that's a key question in terms of when their time comes up to bat, what are they going to do? How are they going to change the tide? I have no problem with having conversations about, you know, immigration since that is where we currently are in terms of our demographic, but that does not negate the need for the traditional civil rights litigation. And I don't see where the two are mutually exclusive, but this administration has made the decision that that is not where they want to focus their time and attention and they have let the thing lapse. The same thing--we're talking about these other parts of the government. So I think that we need to be clear--or rather the Democrats need to be clear about how are they going to push back when the times comes. And the public needs to be a little bit more vigilant as well. I mean, it goes back to the fundamental thing: who you vote for. So much stems from--whether it's the Supreme Court pick to these appointees, we really have to educate the public as well as to what this means when you go cast a ballot or...
ED GORDON, host : Yeah.
Ms. YVONNE BYNOE (Author, "Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership and Hip Hop Culture") : ...don't cast a ballot for someone.
ED GORDON, host : George, we should note that there have been individual Democrats who are making noise: members of the CBC, Edward Kennedy comes to mind immediately from the Senate side, and of course, Barack Obama in some instances. But there does not seem to be this collective cry that we see so well developed by Republicans.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : This underscores a fundamental problem. The conservatives have developed an infrastructure. They have thinks tanks they're challenging things. They--and that has not been matched by the progressive on the left. That simply has not. That's been a problem I've been talking about. I wrote about it in my column this week, and I'm going to continue to talk about it because they have not matched that vigor. They simply are outgunned, and that's why we continue to lose these kinds of ballots.
ED GORDON, host : All right. George, Glenn, Yvonne, thank you so much for joining us today. Greatly appreciate it.
Professor GLENN LOURY (Economics, Brown University) : Thank you, Ed.
Mr. GEORGE CURRY (Editor-In-Chief, National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service) : Thank you.

Elizabeth : Alison , listen , I can explain this .
Alison : Yeah , please do explain .
Elizabeth : It is not what it looks like .
Alison : Really ? Why do nt you give me your version of what you think it looks like .
Rafe : See , here s the thing . Somehow your mother got this crazy idea that if she had sex with a slayer , all her vampire symptoms would be cured .
Alison : What ?
Elizabeth : It s true . No , it s true . I have proof . If a vampire makes love with a slayer , all of your symptoms vanish .
Alison : Do you know anything about this ?
Rafe : No , it s news to me .
Elizabeth : No , but , listen , you know how desperate I was . My God , Alison , I tried to kill myself . I ca nt handle this anymore . And when I found that out , I just needed Rafe -- he was just here . I was just trying to get him to help cure me !
Alison : Mother , shut up ! God ! Rafe , I m so sorry . I thought that maybe my mother needed your help . I did nt know she needed your --
Elizabeth : I did ! I do ! I know , it s unusual .
Alison : Oh , my -- unusual ? Yeah , it s a little unusual . It s sick ! You re embarrassing yourself !
Elizabeth : Alison , it s my last hope . It s my only hope . It was going to change everything .
Alison : Right -- for you . Of course . It s always about you . You , you , you . You need hope . This is your last thing . This is all about you . I m so sick of that . You asked me to bring over the man that I love , the man of my life , and little did I know you had this planned all along ?
Elizabeth : No ! No , Alison .
Rafe : Ok , that s enough .
Alison : No , it s not . I m not finished yet .
Rafe : Yes , you are . Elizabeth , you did nt mean it , did you ?
Elizabeth : No . Baby , I m sorry .
Rafe : All right , come on .
Elizabeth : You do nt understand .
Alison : Oh , right .
Rafe : You know what you need to do ? Keep just gulping that water of yours because this other crazy idea of yours , it was never going to help you , it was never an option , all right ?
Elizabeth : You guys , wait . Please , you do nt understand . All I -- please . I m begging you . Do nt leave , please . I m so sorry . Just do nt leave , ok ? Do nt leave .
Tess : You know that box was right next to the bed when I woke up this morning . I mean , who else could have put there while I was sleeping ?
Jack : Yeah . You really do nt know , do you ?
Tess : No .
Jack : Tess , when you opened that music box --
Tess : Something strange happens , something I ca nt remember ?
Jack : What ?
Tess : Like -- it s like a dream . I m asleep , and a part of me is still awake in a dark corner somewhere , but the other part of me wakes up and then it feels like -- Jack , what happens when I open this music box ? Why ca nt I remember ?
Jack : It probably reminds you of bad memories . See , Livvie had a music box just like this , and she felt really strong about it , too .
Tess : Livvie .
Jack : And I know how close you and Livvie were , anyway , so I guess I had no right to try to get rid of the music box .
Tess : That s all right . Jack , you were trying to help me , to keep me from hearing the music that makes me forget , that makes --
Jack : So maybe -- hey , Tess , maybe I ll just keep it .
Tess : Yeah .
Jack : Ok ?
Tess : Mm - hmm . Yeah , yeah . You take it because I really love it and I want it , but now that I remember , the song -- there s something about it that is nt right , Jack .
Jack : Promise me that you will not open this unless i m with you .
Tess : I promise . Please , just hide it from me , please . I wo nt ever open it , not alone , I promise . I promise , Jack , please --
Jack : Hey --
Tess : Please , just hold me .
Jack : Ok , I m going to hold you .
Tess : Just hold me , hold me .
Jack : I got you , I got you . You re safe , ok ? I m going to take care of you . Just trust me .
Ian : Well , there goes nothing . Whew .
Lucy : Ok . So far so -- good . No . No . Are you ok ? Is -- what is it ? Uh -- do you want me to get you something ? What can I do ? Ian , what do you want me to do for you right at this -- oh ! Oh ! Ok . Ok , why do nt I go get you your water . Let me get your water -- oh ! Ian , listen to me . Let me make you feel better , ok ? Let me make you feel better . Let me make you feel better . I can do that , you know ? Let me make you feel better . Uh -- Ian . Ian -- no !
Lucy : Ian , listen to me ! You got to stop -- Ian , honey ! Oh ! Oh ! No ! Ian , no . Stop . Ian , no . You do nt want to do this . Ian , just stop . Ian , no ! Stop ! Just stop . Please stop !
Alison : You re sorry ?
Elizabeth : I am . I mean that , Alison , I do .
Alison : Right , and even if believed you , that makes everything ok ?
Elizabeth : Alison , I ve lost everything -- my marriage , my family , my future . I do nt -- I have absolutely no future , no hope , no help . Everything is right there in that bottle . That s all that I have . I can drink that , and it ll just keep me alive , one tortured day after another after another . That s how it s going to continue to be for me . It s never going to change !
Alison : Oh , my God .
Rafe : Wait , you know what ? You re wrong about that , though .
Elizabeth : What ?
Rafe : Well , there is a way . We have to kill Caleb , and then you go back to normal .
Elizabeth : Yeah , but that does nt have anything -- it s never going to happen . That s impossible .
Alison : Oh , mother , please --
Elizabeth : And even if it does , you know , it does nt even -- oh , it s not going to save me , anyway . It just -- oh , my God , I m just starting to lose my mind !
Rafe : Starting ?
Elizabeth : You do nt care . And I do nt blame you . And I know that you , you hate me .
Alison : Mother , please , just do nt . No excuses , ok ? I have heard a lifetime s worth .
Alison : Caleb is everywhere . He s everywhere . I mean , look what he s already done to my mother . She tries to seduce you just so she can get free ? Give me a break . And after you left Jack s house , Tess comes out with some music box . She starts listening to it , to the music . And guess who pops out of her .
Rafe : Livvie .
Alison : Yeah , Livvie . We both know that he s not going to stop on his own . What do we do ? I do nt know what to do .
Rafe : What do you do ? You do exactly what you always do -- you follow your heart . All right , just do whatever you need to do .
Alison : I ll do what I have to do .
Rafe : All right .
Rafe : Ok , Jack , it s time to talk .
Alison : Mother , look at me . Look at me .
Elizabeth : No , I ca nt . I m so sorry . I always do everything wrong , everything .
Alison : Yes , sometimes .
Elizabeth : Are you ever going to be able to forgive me ?
Alison : This might take a very long , long time .
Elizabeth : As long as there is hope for that , I will wait .
Tess : Jack , please , do nt ever let go .
Jack : Well , if i do nt let go , I wo nt be able to give you your present .
Tess : Present ?
Jack : Mm - hmm .
Tess : Why ?
Jack : Let s just say because I love you . That s a good enough reason , right ? So open it .
Tess : Jack !
Jack : So what do you think ? It s just like your old one .
Tess : Yes , it s exactly the same .
Jack : Yeah , I just thought times have kind of been tough , and I thought this might help .
Tess : It -- it does , it helps a lot , and I love you a lot .
Jack : I love you , too .
Tess : Thank you . She s back . We are going to have one of our own soon , too .
Jack : Hello .
Rafe : Hey , it s Rafe . So , you got the music box ?
Jack : Yeah , yeah . It s more like the music box found us .
Rafe : All right , well , guess what -- this is the sign we ve been waiting for . It s time .
Jack : Right . Right , I know this is the only way to go . As much as I love her , I have to send Tess out , alone .
Ian : Let me go .
Lucy : No , never . Ian -- look at me . Look at me ! Listen to me . Caleb will not win . Do you hear me ? We will not let him win . You are mine , and I belong to you . You -- you have to fight this . You have to fight for us , for the future we can have together and for what we might be . Listen to me -- Ian , fight for Danny ! Your son needs you . He needs you so much . You have to fight for him . And you have to fight for your life back . Do nt you want your life back ? You have to fight to be a doctor again , fight for what you love . You heal people . You do nt hurt people ! You do nt destroy the people you love . Ian , please , this is nt you . Come back to me the way you are . You told me that we have a future together . You said that , and I believed that because I believe in you . Oh ! I believe in you . You will not hurt me . Ian -- oh , my God . You have to keep fighting this . That s the way . You have to come back to me because you re the man that I love with all my soul . Will you please , just breathe , Ian . Just breathe . Oh , please , please come back to me . Come back . Ian , please .
Ian : Lucy .
Lucy : Yeah . Yeah . I m here .
Ian : Oh , God , Lucy .
Lucy : I know , I know . It s ok . It s ok . It s all right . You re you and I m me and we re us . It s ok .
Ian : Dear God , I m --
Lucy : No , do nt , shh , shh . It s ok . We re all right . We re going to be ok , ok ? Just please do nt ever do that to me again , never . Never .

Reese : I ve got a gift for you .

Reese : Oh , yeah .

Nicole : Hmm ?
Arianna : My fiancé .
Nicole : [ Laughs ] Oh ...
Bo : Hey , you .
Carly : Hi . Wow . You look ... sharp . You going somewhere ?
Bo : Mm - hmm . You re goin with me .
EJ : I want what s best for you . I also want what s best for Johnny and for Sydney and for myself . I know you ve had a tough time with Rafe , but ... as far as just the four of us are concerned ... I really hope you see this as being a time for ... celebration .
Sami : I ll try . I will , I will .
EJ : Thank you .
Will : What the hell ?
Lexie : Oh ! Your friend Kate s here .
Kate : Hey , there ! Well , hi there . Do I still rate a hug ? Oh ! I do . All right , young man , you have to tell me -- is your mommy buying pills from a giant to make you so big ? You re growing so fast !
Theo : No !
Kate : No ? Well , it must be just because you re so sweet , huh ? [ Laughs ] I did nt know you were coming by .
Lexie : We re here for our scheduled play date with Grandpa ... right , sweetheart ?
Kate : Stefano s not here .
Lexie : [ Sighs ] You know where he is ?
Stefano : What could you possibly tell me that is so earthshaking , Anna ?
Anna : Just that ... I did nt plan the kidnapping alone . In fact , I did nt plan it at all . I was working for someone else .
Stefano : Give me the name .
Anna : EJ DiMera .
Stefano : No . [ Chuckles ] Not my son . No , that ca nt be .
Anna : No , no , if you just think about it for a minute , it will all fall into place . EJ wanted revenge . You betrayed him . And he did exactly what he set out to do -- he made you pay .
Sami : What s going on ?
Will : You tell me .
Sami : Well , EJ and I were just ... celebrating ... that all our kids are safe and happy . Right , Sydney ? Will , why do nt you try not to be too judgmental . EJ and I have been through a tough time .
Will : Yeah , okay . Whatever . I do nt want to hear it .
EJ : Look , um , William , I think what your mother s trying to say--
Will : Especially from you .
EJ : Okay , I think you two could do with a little , uh , private time , so if you excuse me , uh ... thank you . I ll take my daughter for a little walk .
Sami : That was really embarrassing , Will . I mean , what is wrong with you ? W - We were just hugging--
Will : You wanna know something ? I really hate it that EJ is here 24/7 . Oh , yeah ... and Rafe is nt . What is with you , Mom ? Are you out to wreck your life all over again ?
Stefano : Why would you spend the last breaths in your miserable life lying to me , Anna ?
Anna : I m not lying .
Stefano : Then you must be insane ! Why would my son kidnap his own child ? He knew how we were suffering .
Anna : And he loved every minute of it .
Stefano : Oh , get out of here .
Anna : He was killing three birds with one stone -- if I may quote him .
Stefano : Liar ! That would have been impossible !
Anna : Stefano , I am not saying he did it all alone . Yes , I was the caregiver , bought and paid for . But it was EJ who planned it , who set it all in motion and made sure that ... that everything went off without a hitch !
Stefano : My son ... masterminded ... the kidnapping .
Anna : Mm - hmm .
Stefano : [ Laughing ] You know , actually ... ha ha ... Anna , you know ... nice try . You know , you did -- that s pretty good , that story .
Stefano : You re supposed to have something important to tell me .
Anna : Yes--
Stefano : Lies are not important , Anna !
Anna : [ Stammering ] No , no , no ! No , no , wait , wait , Stefano , honestly , you have to believe me ! I can prove it , I can prove that I m telling the truth . I really can .
Carly : Are we going on a date ?
Bo : What , you got something better to do ?
Carly : Uh ... no .
Bo : All right , good . I brought some things from home . If I screwed up , we can go back by there . But hopefully , you ll find something here that you like , and we can take off from here .
Carly : Okay . So ... where are we going ?
Bo : [ Chuckles ] Like I d tell you .
Carly : All right . I ll be right back .
Sami : What are you talking about , wreck my life ?
Will : Why is EJ still here , Mom ? And where s Rafe ? Why is nt he around anymore ?
Sami : He just is nt , all right ? We re having some trouble , but we ll work through it , okay ?
Will : No . Not if EJ is here . When are you gon na get it ?
Sami : Get what ?
Will : EJ is using you !
Sami : Will , EJ is nt using me , he just--
Will : Okay , Mom , he s alone . He s not talking to his father . Nobody likes him or wants anything to do with him . Rafe , Brady , Dad ... even Nicole does nt want him hanging around !
Sami : Well , no one should be hanging around with Nicole Walker . I mean , are you serious ? She--
Will : All right , okay . Dial it back . Nicole may be a little nuts but--
Sami : A little ?
Will : Yeah . Do nt forget who she lived with for over a year . You think EJ did nt have anything to do with how she started acting ?
Sami : No ! No , I have known Nicole a long time , and she was acting like that way before she met EJ .
Will : Okay , well , I think you re wrong ... because I just saw Nicole , and she seemed pretty together , as far as I can tell .
Sami : You saw Nicole ? When you were with Sydney ?
Will : Yeah . Just ... now .
Sami : But you did nt let her get anywhere near the baby , right ?
Will : Actually ... yeah . I - I just let her say good - bye to her .
Arianna : So ... you need a little booze for your wounds , or what ? Cause I think you need to fortify yourself before you make another desperate play for Brady .
Nicole : [ Chuckles ] Oh , honey . I do nt do desperate .
Arianna : You know , it was bad enough that you ruined our wedding ...
Nicole : That was called a hurricane .
Arianna : But now , you re pretending you re hanging out with him just like old times ?
Nicole : I do nt have to pretend with Brady , okay ? I came over here , and we were discussing certain ... private matters . He was called away , and I ve been waiting for him ever since . End of story .
Arianna : The hell it is . You were nt discussing anything with him , and he was nt called away . You came by to do what you do best , which is ruin people s lives .
Brady : Ari , actually , that s not true . Nicole and I ... we were having a discussion , and I was called away .
Kate : I m so sorry . Stefano left me this note . He said he was going out of town on business , he was gon na be back shortly , but if I knew you were coming over--
Lexie : No , it s okay , it s okay , well ... well do it another time .
Kate : Good . Stefano would like that .
Lexie : Come on , sweetheart .
Kate : Lexie ... since you re here , I mean , we could still have a play date . You know , I got this new juicer , and I have to try it out for Hearth & Home . What do you say you and I could go in the kitchen and we could make some lemonade ?
Theo : I like lemonade !
Kate : Really ? Great ! Would you help me make it ?
Theo : Yeah !
Kate : Great ! That s okay ... right ?
Lexie : Yeah . Yeah . It s okay .
Kate : Good . You know ... actually , I m kind of glad that you came over anyway because I did want to talk to you about something .
Lexie : About what ?
Kate : About your brother . And what he s done .
Anna : Just wait -- wait a minute ! I can prove that I m telling the truth . Just one minute , okay ? One .
Stefano : One minute .
Anna : Okay . I need my purse . My phone in my purse . Obviously , the phone does nt work anymore , cause I just had the account canceled . But , uh , you know , I sort of assumed that if I put it out of commission they would nt be able to find ... me . I guess I underestimated you , huh ? Of course , I still have the phone , cause I have nt had a chance to back up my pictures yet .
Stefano : What the hell are the pictures supposed to do for me ? What pictures-- what ?
Anna : Nothing -- I was just trying to explain why I still have the phone . [ Whispering ] Oh , God , oh , God , I m kind of nervous .
EJ : Anna ... it s EJ . Listen , something s come up . I m not gon na be able to make it to the cottage tonight . I ll have Benny pick up some shop goods and some nappies for you . Sorry . Tell Sydney that Daddy loves her , all right ? Bye .
Anna : You see ? You see ? EJ was in charge , and I was ... I was just doing what I was told .
Sami : You let that woman near your baby sister ? She is a monster ! Do nt you know that by now ?
Will : Okay ... chill , okay ?
Sami : I am not gon na chill out about this !
Will : I m two feet away ! I can hear you !
Sami : I am getting a restraining order against Nicole -- I m gon na call EJ--
Will : Mom -- okay , no . She was really sweet .
Sami : Sweet ?
Will : Yes . And when Sydney called her Mama , she looked like she was about to cry . I felt bad for her .
Sami : She called ... Sydney called Nicole Mama ?
Will : Yeah . She just ...
Sami : And you allowed that to happen ?
Will : Oh , yeah , I control--
Sami : Will , how could you ?
Will : It was nt like I was--
Sami : William Horton , that is the most irresponsible thing you have ever done in your entire life !
Kate : Theo is as happy as he can be . Cook is letting him choose the lemons we re going to use .
Lexie : Oh .
Kate : He is such a sweet boy .
Lexie : Yes , he is .
Kate : So , shall we have a seat ?
Lexie : Sure .
Kate : Can I get you anything ?
Lexie : No . No , thanks . So you wanted to talk about EJ .
Kate : Yes .
Lexie : What s he done ?
Kate : I m sure you are aware of the fact that he s working to get your father out of this house , to have him evicted .
Lexie : Yeah . I heard .
Kate : Even after Sydney is home safe and things could get back to normal .
Lexie : [ Sighs ] Kate ... trust me , okay ? I - I know the drill . Father can talk until he is blue in the face , but EJ , he s going to stick to his guns . You wanna know why ? Because he is an exact clone of his father .
Kate : Yes , yes , I think that is true . But he might listen to reason if it came from you . Lexie , I think if you have any influence at all over EJ , you need to speak to him .
EJ : Speak to me about what ?
Anna : You do believe me , right ? I mean , how could I make up that message that EJ left on the phone ? I m telling the truth , Stefano .
Stefano : So ... you are the one ... that my son picked to help him with the kidnapping . My , my , my , my , my , my , my . The Anna Fredricks that I knew was not strong enough or capable enough .
Anna : Well ... Ive changed . Living with the DiMeras has hardened me .
Stefano : Hmm . You hated me that much , huh ?
Anna : For what you did to my Tony ... you bet your bottom dollar !
Stefano : You stupid idiot . In the end , all you have done is hurt yourself !
Anna : Sorry ?
Stefano : The deal ... Anna , that we made , that you would go free if you gave me something , all right ? Something that was worthwhile . You have given me nothing !
Anna : I gave you EJ ! And the question is now what are you gon na do with him ?
Stefano : Elvis has crossed the line . And he will pay for it .
Bo : No , no , just leave it on my desk . I ll take a peek at it in the morning . Ha . No , not coming back into the station tonight , thanks . Right .
Carly : Okay . Ready .
Bo : Hmm .
Carly : You like ?
Bo : Um ... [Laughs ] Yeah , yeah ... I like . It s okay .
Carly : Okay .
Kate : Well , I think I ll go check on the lemonade .
Lexie : Mm . Hi again , baby brother .
EJ : Hey .
Lexie : Hi , sweetheart ! Did you go for a nice ride with Daddy ? Yeah ? Oh , she s so precious . Oh !
EJ : So ...
Lexie : Mm ?
EJ : What did my ex - girlfriend want , hmm ? Let me guess , she s ... wanting you to lay the groundwork so father can take back control of everything that he believes is his .
Lexie : Oh , no ... no , no . Nothing -- nothing like that . She s , uh ... she s just concerned .
EJ : She should be . She should also be looking for somewhere else to live .
Lexie : EJ ... you need to focus ... on building a life of your own . Okay ? Not trying to exact some sort of revenge from father .
EJ : How do you do it , Lexie ?
Lexie : Do what ?
EJ : Stay so sane ? You and Abe just seem so wonderfully disconnected from this place .
Lexie : Because we stay away ... as much as possible . We want nothing to do with this so - called home ... or the blood money that goes with it , EJ . Or all the ... DiMera hatred . I mean , we do it for ourselves , yeah , but we do it mainly for Theo . There is no way that we are gon na allow our son to be raised in that kind of environment . No way .
EJ : No , I know how you feel . I decided that I want to raise Sydney away from all this sturm und drang as well .
Lexie : You and , uh ... Sami ?
EJ : Yes . If I m lucky . You know me . [ Clicks tongue ] I like to be lucky .
Sami : What were you thinking ? Nicole probably thinks she has a place in Sydney s life now . She is the worst thing that ever happened--
Will : All right , okay , are you going ... to let me finish ? Okay . Yes . Nicole was saying good - bye to Sydney , kind of emotional . And Sydney suddenly says Mama . You can see Nicole was hit really hard , but right away-- and I mean right away-- she said , no . Sydney would always be special to her , but she was nt her mama . And that was that .
Sami : What ... what , I - I m supposed to be impressed that she finally did the right thing ?
Will : Mom ! That is not the point !
Sami : Well , you let it happen ! I swear to God , sometimes you have the worst judgment on the planet !
Will : Me ? I have bad judgment ? Who hid the fact that she was pregnant ?
Sami : That does nt have anything to do with anything .
Will : No ! If you had nt lied to EJ , none of this would have happened ! Because none of it could have !
Sami : I lied to EJ because I did nt want--
Will : No . There would have been no baby for Nicole to steal .
Sami : I lied to EJ because--
Will : Because he s a son of a bitch who s always playing power games ! And now you re back with him .
Sami : I m not !
Will : You re having those innocent hugs ... yeah , making sure you blow it with Rafe ...
Sami : I am not back with him !
Will : Just like you blew it with Dad and every other guy you ve ever hooked up with ! You know , and the really rotten thing ... is now Sydney s gon na grow up just like I did ... you know , all the lies . You know , hoping the next guy is gon na stick around and be like a dad ... but knowing that he wo nt . Because you just ca nt help it . You got ta screw it up . You ll never change , Mom .
Anna : I get it , okay ? I know you re furious with EJ . But Stefano , think about it before you do something that you ll regret forever . If you turn him over to Roman Brady or--[Laughs ] the so - called justice system , you are going to lose your one chance to put your family back together again . Oh , and guess what . Sami ... [Laughs ] Sami will have full custody of Johnny and Sydney . Hmm ? You will lose your son ... and your grandchildren .
Bo : To a wonderful evening .
Carly : To us .
Bo : To us .
Carly : You know , you did nt have to -- to do all this .
Bo : All what ?
Carly : The fancy restaurant and ... me in this tight dress , you all duded up .
Bo : Not really your thing , huh ?
Carly : Well , no , the restaurant s really charming , and you are just , you know ... yum .
Bo : [ Chuckles ]
Carly : But I m okay with sweats and -- and loose clothing and ... that I can breathe in .
Bo : I noticed .
Carly : You noticed ?
Bo : Um ... what I meant was ... you re not vain ... and you look beautiful ... no matter what you re wearing . Or not wearing . And I do nt think you realize that .
Carly : You make me feel beautiful .
Bo : Okay ! I m with ya . No more of this getting dressed up and ... fancy places . Next time , fireplace , hot cocoa , rubbing feet -- things like that .
Carly : That sounds good . It s been a long climb for us , has nt it ?
Bo : [ Inhales ] Couple obstacles along the way . Yeah .
Carly : Here we are . And now I get to focus on the life I ve always wondered about . The first time we were together , I just ... I did nt really know where we were going .
Bo : Yeah , I know .
Carly : And then things just got crazy . You ever think sometimes ...
Bo : What it would have been like ? If we were able to stay together ? [ Whispers ] Yeah . Then Hope came back to Salem .
Carly : It s strange . All those years I spent with Lawrence , the more paranoid he got , I just felt so cheated . All the might - have - beens that you and I missed out on .
Bo : Important thing is we re together now . We have a second chance . And we re not gon na screw it up .
Arianna : So it s true , Nicole came over and you two were hanging out ?
Nicole : Excuse me . That was the term you used . I said that Brady and I were discussing things .
Brady : We -- we were having a discussion . It s over now . And I did nt realize you were still here .
Nicole : Well , I remembered that Victor stocks nothing but the finest and , you know , I could nt resist . And -- did you know I used to live here ?
Brady : Okay . That s enough . I think , uh , think we re done here .
Nicole : Okay . Uh , I ll go . But , um , before I do ... I ve reconsidered . I , uh ... I would like to take you up on your offer .
Arianna : What offer ?
Brady : That s fine . I ll make the necessary arrangements .
Nicole : Thank you . God , you re the best .
Arianna : Hey , before you go , why do nt you tell me what you got goin on with my fiancé ?
Sami : Wow . When you wanna cut me , you really know how to do it .
Will : Oh . So I m supposed to feel sorry for you now .
Sami : All right , Will . This is my house , and while you are living in it , you will not talk to me like that .
Will : This is Grandma Marlena s house , and it s a good thing that she let you live in it , because you re so busy running around having all these dramas ... that you could nt afford a cardboard box on the sidewalk !
Sami : If you re so disgusted by me and my life , then why do you even live here ?
Will : Ah ! You know , I do nt know ! Maybe I wo nt ! Because I sure as hell do nt wanna watch you hook up with EJ DiMera again !
Lexie : Have you told Sami how you feel ?
EJ : Not yet . No .
Lexie : But ... youve decided . I mean , you want a life with her .
EJ : Yes , I do .
Lexie : [ Sighs ]
EJ : Just need to find a way to stop father coming between us .
Lexie : Then walk away , EJ , okay ? Do nt try to fight him , do nt try to punish him . Just walk away .
Kate : Lexie is absolutely right . A war with Stefano is a war you will never win .
Anna : Stefano , I - I ... I know I ca nt tell you what to do ... and I know you must -- well , I hope you feel guilty for the way you treated Tony--
Stefano : Do nt go there , woman !
Anna : Okay , okay , fine , but just think about this . Do you wanna lose EJ too ?
Stefano : You know ... I do nt need advice from you . But I will tell you that I do appreciate the leverage you have given me .
Anna : Well , then use it to do the right thing . I ve given you the chance to put your relationship with EJ back together again and rebuild your family . Are you going to use it ?
Nicole : What do I have going on with your fiancé ?
Arianna : Aside from the obvious .
Brady : Ari , it was a loan . Nothing more .
Nicole : Exactly . Brady generously offered to loan me some money ... so I could find a new job and , uh , start rebuilding my life .
Arianna : Oh !
Nicole : Mm - hmm .
Arianna : Well , that is generous , is nt it ?
Nicole : Hey , hey , hey , do nt misunderstand . Brady knows that I will pay him back . After all , I was an executive at Titan .
Arianna : And what happened there ? You got bored and decided to start swapping babies , huh ? Lying , cheating your way through life , right ?
Brady : All right , you know what , this is nt going to a nice happy place , so why do nt we end this and , uh , you have something to do , right ?
Nicole : I do . Thank you . Funny .
Brady : It was just a loan . That s all .
Arianna : I know . And I know it s not my money . But , Brady ... I mean , considering everything that s happened ... all of the fights that we ve had about that woman ... could nt you have talked to me about it first ?
EJ : She s asleep . Theo , excellent job , my friend . This is wonderful lemonade .
Lexie : Mm ! That new machine grandma has is pretty cool , huh ?
Theo : It s noisy .
Lexie : It s noisy . Come on , sweetheart . Is it noisy ?
Kate : I meant what I said , EJ .
EJ : I know you did . But you re wrong , Kate . I will win this war .
Kate : Win , lose -- what difference does it make ? It s a waste of energy . Why not just make peace ?
EJ : Now , why would I want that ?
Kate : To rebuild your family . Your father still loves you .
EJ : Maybe he does . In a sentimental way . But if he loved me in any real way , if he loved me in a respectful way or a generous way ... then he would nt have sided with Nicole ... hidden the truth of my daughter from me , and lied to me over and over again . See , when he did that ... he destroyed whatever family I had .
Anna : So ... this means we re good .
Stefano : Not quite .
Anna : Sorry ?
Stefano : Before you go , Anna , with all of Elvis cash , there s something I need you to do for me .
Brady : [ Sighs ] Okay , okay . You re right , I never should have offered to loan Nicole money without giving you a heads - up , all right ? But she s ... she s broke , she s right outta prison , and she s trying to get a job .
Arianna : She used to be an executive , though , right ?
Brady : And there s no way in hell my grandfather s gon na hire her back at Titan , so yes , Ari , I offered her--
Arianna : A loan .
Brady : Yeah . And you are so furious , you can hardly talk .
Arianna : I am trying ...
Brady : Well , then -- tell you what . Smack me . Sometimes if you physicalize anger , it helps you feel better .
Arianna : No , stop .
Brady : Why do nt you just hit me ?
Arianna : No , it s not funny , okay ?
Brady : Okay .
Arianna : Look ... I do nt want you to be somebody that you re not , okay ? And I get it , Nicole -- she was important to you .
Brady : Whoa , whoa , whoa . Y - Yeah , exactly -- was important to me at a time .
Arianna : Okay . And you re too decent to turn her down .
Brady : You understand ?
Arianna : I guess I have to . Okay ? But ... I know her type , all right ? So ... you need to think of her as ... a stray dog , all right ? You feed her once , and she never stops coming around .
Brady : [ Clears throat ] Right . This was a one - time deal . If there is ever a second time ... you will be in on the decision , okay ? Is that a deal ?
Arianna : It s a deal .
Brady : Good .
Arianna : Look , I - I need to ...
Brady : Wh - Wh - Wh -- what ?
Arianna : I want to ... talk to you about our wedding .
Kate : Harold ! God , does anyone get the door besides me ? Will ! Hi , honey . Come-- are you okay ?
Will : No . No , not really . Um ... my mom and I had a fight , and I left . For good .
EJ : Samantha ? What s wrong ?
Sami : Sydney okay ?
EJ : She s fine . She s asleep . Hey . Talk to me . What happened ?
Sami : I-- [ Sobbing ] It s Will . He , um ... he ... he left , and I do nt think -- I do nt think he s coming back .
EJ : [ Whispering ] Come here , Samantha . Come here .
Anna : Okay , I did what you said .
Stefano : Fine . Take your money and go . Oh , Anna . [ Clears throat ] You can hide ... wherever you like , hmm ? But , uh ... understand this-- that I will find you , no matter what rock you hide under .
Brady : You want to talk about the wedding ? All right , hey ... you got my attention . Let s talk .
Arianna : Okay . Um ... I was talking to Rafe and Melanie earlier , and , um ... well , not so much talk as listen .
Brady : Right , right . Go on .
Arianna : Okay . Anyway , yeah . They both said the same exact thing -- they said that we need to run off and get married like right now . [ Laughs ]
Brady : Vegas . Vegas . Vegas . Let s do it ! That s perfect . Look , I know you were nt too keen on the idea at first , but let s do it .
Arianna : Not Vegas .
Brady : Yeah , okay , no . Not Vegas . All right , um ... then tell me -- you tell me where you wanna go , and I will book the tickets . That simple .
Arianna : Um ...
Brady : Ah ... what ? You re hesitating .
Arianna : Look , I love you . You know that , right ? Of course .
Brady : Yeah , yeah , I know that -- why ? I love you too .
Arianna : I m seriously thinking that we should nt do this .
Kinsey : Oh , my God , you ! You re here again !
Nicole : Oh ! Go away !
Kinsey : This is so cool . I - I m making this collage , you know , of people who come into the pub--[Click ]
Nicole : Oh , yay . I said go away ! Shoo !
Kinsey : All right . You do nt have to be all snarky .
Nicole : [ Exhales ] I m gon na be in a collage ? Hmm . Oh ... look at the happy couple . Ha . Yeah . That wo nt last . Hmm .
Carly : [ Chuckles ]
Bo : This better be important . Told the station not to bug me tonight-- it s Ma . Hey , Ma . Little late for you , is nt it ? What are you doing in L.A. ? Kimberly ?
Will : I just wish Dad was around .
Kate : Yeah . I guess that s my fault , is nt it ?
Will : No . I know it s for work , you know , hearth & home . But China ? I ca nt even talk on the phone to him .
Kate : Oh , I know . It s a pretty big time difference , is nt it ?
Will : Mm - hmm . Guess I ll call Aunt Maggie .
Kate : No . Do nt do that . You do nt have to do that . You can stay here with me . Why do nt you stay here in my lovely home ?
Stefano : [ Sighs ]
EJ : Look , he s a Brady teenager .
EJ : He s gon na be completely impetuous one minute and levelheaded the next .
Sami : Yeah , you re probably right . [ Sniffles ] Thanks again .
EJ : It s fine . I do nt need to get it .
Sami : You can get the phone . I m okay .
EJ : Give me a second . Hello ?
Stefano : Elvis , I need to talk to you . It s very important .
EJ : Well , I have nothing to say to you .
Stefano : [ Sighs ] Well ... he could have done the right thing ... let his father back in his life . But he did not . Now ... [Ahem ] I have to make sure that he sees the error of his ways .
Hope : Can you give me a name ?
Woods : Rafe Hernandez .
Gabi : I know what happened last night , Rafe .
Sami : I do nt want you to go back to that house .

### Dialogue:
Dorian : If I do nt get to talk to the district attorney , I am going to invoke my right to remain silent .
John : Promises , promises .
Daniel : Ok , what s going on here ?
John : Well , I believe the lady has granted you an audience .
Daniel : Oh . Ready to confess ?
Dorian : Oh , if you want a confession , I suggest you talk to Lindsay . She came to La Boulaie , my house , right after I was arrested and she practically admitted that she had killed Paul .
Lindsay : Hi .
Jen : Hey .
Lindsay : Oh , honey , I ca nt imagine how you must be feeling . It s absolutely unbelievable .
Jen : No , it s exactly like him . I ll be back . You just have to screw things up , do nt you ?
Rex : Excuse me ?
Jen : You know what you did . That s it ; you ve messed with me for the last time .
Kelly : I m on my way , baby .
Man : Ms. Cramer ?
Man : Ms. Cramer , you in there ?
Kevin : You re sure you saw her come back here ?
Man : Not more than 20 minutes ago .
Kevin : She could nt have gotten far .
Daniel : So now Lindsay killed Paul Cramer ?
Dorian : Well , it is nt as if she has nt killed before .
John : The murder weapon was found in your office .
Dorian : It was planted there !
Daniel : Meaning Lindsay ?
Dorian : Yes ! I mean , of course by Lindsay . I do nt understand , why are nt you following up with her ?
Daniel : Because a witness picked you out of a lineup .
Dorian : Aha .
Daniel : Ok , now , what about your niece , the victim s sister ? Kelly s nowhere to be found . Oh , and neither is your fiancé , the one with the long criminal record . Now , what about their involvement in all this ?
Dorian : I ve already told you what I think .
Daniel : Look , I ve heard enough . Just please take Ms. Lord back to her cell .
John : Ok , let s go . Come on .
Dorian : You know , I know the reason why you re not even bothering to question Lindsay . It s because of your former intimate relationship with her , Mr. District Attorney .
John : You done ?
Nora : Hi .
Bo : Hey , Daniel .
Daniel : Hey , hey .
Bo : Want to join us ?
Daniel : Yeah . Yeah , sure .
Nora : Bo was just filling me in on the tragedy at the TV station .
Daniel : Yeah , it s a miracle there were nt more casualties .
Nora : It s a miracle that Cristian showed up after all this time . Natalie must be the happiest woman on earth .
Bo : Yeah , she was , right up until John took Cristian s statement .
Daniel : Oh , why do nt you get someone else to do that ?
Bo : Because I thought John wanted to give Cristian the chance to vent , but by the time I showed up , Cristian was so hot that , you know , he was about to pop his stitches .
Nora : Oh , boy .
Bo : Yeah . I just hope that Natalie does nt get caught in the crossfire .
David : Why did you arrest Dorian ?
Bo : Vickers , I know you did nt hear me say come in because I did nt hear you knock . Now , do nt ever do that again .
David : Fair enough . Why did you arrest Dorian ?
Bo : Her arrest was based on evidence .
David : Such as ?
Bo : An eyewitness .
David : Dorian did nt do it .
Nora : How do you know ?
David : Because I did . I m telling you the truth . I killed Paul Cramer .
Rex : So , what terrible thing have I done now ?
Jen : Our commemorative square we made for the Love Project ? You know , the one I made with Riley ? You erased the heart between our names before the cement dried .
Rex : That s it ? A block of concrete s your biggest problem ? Your life s going good , Jen .
Jen : Well , yeah , it would be if you were nt trying to ruin everything good in it !
Shannon : You do nt need Rex for that , do you ? How many times is it that you ve been married ?
Rex : Ok , let s -- let s put away the claws , ladies , before somebody really gets hurt . I ca nt help you with the cement , but the Love Center s going to be done pretty soon . Then you can go live your happy little life with the starving musician .
Shannon : Yeah , until you screw that up , too .
Jen : Just leave us alone .
Shannon : So , how was your thanksgiving ?
Rex : Look , go away . You think that I forgot you went to McBain about that gun , huh ? You think that I m cool with the idea you tried to hang me out to dry , huh ? Never .
Shannon : I did nt hang you out to dry . Look , I was trying to hang Jen out to dry , but that did nt work .
Rex : Whatever . We ve got nothing to talk about .
Shannon : That s what you think .
Jen : I m overreacting . It is only cement .
Lindsay : It s important to you .
Jen : But Riley and I are together . That s what really matters .
Lindsay : That s right .
Jen : What s wrong ?
Lindsay : Um -- it s just that when you came in here , I did nt realize it was Rex that you were upset about . Honey , I thought you heard .
Jen : Heard what ?
Riley : Oh , you re leaving ?
Rex : Huh .
Riley : Well , that should cheer Jen up . Hi .
Jen : Hi .
Lindsay : Hi .
Riley : Hi .
Jen : Mom , so what is it ?
Lindsay : It s been all over the news . Someone tried to assassinate the governor .
Riley : No , we heard about that on the radio , but the governor s all right ?
Lindsay : No , he s -- he s fine .
Jen : What does that have to do with me ?
Lindsay : Well , maybe we should go back to the gallery and finish this conversation .
Riley : No , look , I got the hint . I can go .
Jen : No , no , you can say this in front of Riley . What is it ?
Lindsay : It s Cristian . He s alive .
Dorian : My , my , my , it really does come in handy having a boyfriend in the police department or the district attorney s office if you want to get cleared of murder charges .
Natalie : Yes , and it also helps when you have nt committed murder .
John : Officer Willard , would you do me a favor and escort Dr. Lord back to her accommodations ?
Ofc . Willard : Yes , sir .
John : Thank you , sir . Hey .
Natalie : Hey .
John : How s Jessica doing ?
Natalie : She s weak , but , you know , she s doing ok .
John : She ll make it .
Natalie : Cristian s doing a lot better .
John : Yeah ? That s good . What have you got in the bag ?
Natalie : Oh , I thought just a little something after today .
John : Yeah ? What , is it from the diner ?
Natalie : Burgers and fries .
John : Thanks . You should nt have .
Natalie : I wanted to thank you . If it were nt for you , my husband and my sister would not be alive . It s true . And I want to apologize for Cristian .
John : You do nt have to do that .
Natalie : Listen , he did nt mean those things that he was saying . He s just really confused right now .
Man : I want my damn phone call !
Officer : Cool down , you ll get it !
John : Be careful .
Officer : Hey , hey , hey !
John : Did you hear him ? Did nt you hear him ?
Man : Get off me ! False arrest !
Officer : You got him ?
John : Get him out of here . Get this guy out of here !
Bo : So , now , you killed Paul Cramer ?
David : That s right .
Bo : And then you thought you d just walk in here without knocking and confess and we would automatically just cut your fiancée loose .
David : Show some leniency . She did nt do it .
Nora : And now supposedly you did . It s a little transparent , do nt you think ?
Daniel : Yeah , why did it take you so long to come forward ?
David : I was out of town -- on business .
Bo : Hmm , so you could murder Cramer and then make it to your business appointment . I would love to hear your story .
Daniel : Yeah , Nora , can I have a word with you , please ?
Bo : Yeah , I ll get everything all set .
Daniel : Thanks .
Nora : Thanks . What s going on ?
Daniel : Look , you know , I ve had questions about Dorian ever since she s been arrested . Now , she s adamant that Lindsay s the killer , and I got to tell you something , I m beginning to wonder .
Nora : Well , I got to tell you ; Lindsay would be my prime suspect , too , if it were nt for the evidence .
Daniel : Yeah , I do nt know . She was acting awful funny at that thanksgiving dinner the other night .
Nora : Thanks-- you had thanksgiving dinner with Lindsay ?
Daniel : Yeah . I -- I was stuck .
Nora : Uh - huh .
Daniel : I mean , Jen invited Riley and me and -- Nora , I wanted to spend some time with my son .
Nora : It s ok , Daniel . I m not giving you a hard time . I promise you I m not . It s just that , you know , it s a very -- ok , ok , we ca nt do that here .
Daniel : Why not ?
Nora : Because we work here .
Daniel : Oh . Shy , are nt you ? Look , look , why do nt you and Bo see what you can get out of Vickers , and I ll go have a little chat with Lindsay .
Nora : Be careful .
Daniel : I can handle Lindsay .
Nora : Uh - uh , uh - uh .
Daniel : Bye .
Nora : Bye .
David : Well , I m ready to give my statement . What happens now ? Do you at least offer me a beverage ? What are we waiting for ?
Bo : We are waiting for one more person .
Dorian : Thank goodness . At last , someone s ready to hear -- David ?
David : I m sorry , honey , I m -- I m coming clean . I m telling them everything . They already know that I killed Paul .
Dorian : Oh , my --
David : Ow !
Jen : Cristian s alive ? I ca nt believe it .
Lindsay : He was at the TV station . I do nt really understand why , but now he s in the hospital , and apparently he s going to be ok .
Jen : Wow . I mean , Jessica and Antonio must be thrilled . And Natalie -- I m even happy for her . You know , I am .
Riley : Well , hey , he was a big part of your life , too .
Daniel : Hey , guys .
Jen : Mr. Colson , hi .
Riley : Hey .
Daniel : Mind some company ?
Lindsay : Do nt let me stop you .
Daniel : Thanks . Hey , son .
Riley : Hi .
Lindsay : What s wrong ? Relationship problems got you down ?
Daniel : No , no , actually , it s -- it s the Paul Cramer case .
Lindsay : I thought you had Dorian in custody .
Daniel : Oh , but that does nt mean we re through investigating , though .
Lindsay : I thought you had everything but a Polaroid of her killing him .
Daniel : It s not quite that simple .
Riley : Well , why spend so much work on trying to find the killer ? Cramer was nt worth it .
Daniel : Well , it s my job , Riley , no matter who he was . Lindsay , you must be kind of concerned . Dorian s a friend of yours , right ?
Lindsay : Yes , we -- we re friends and , actually , we were in business together once .
Daniel : You know , Lindsay , you might be able to help me out . For old time s sake ?
John : Now that Cristian s alive , I was passing these on to the bureau to be updated .
Natalie : Yeah .
John : Anyway --
Natalie : I m sorry that I lied to you . I mean , Cristian just swore me to secrecy .
John : I understand .
Natalie : It -- it just happened so fast and -- look , we never really got a chance to talk , and I really think that we should .
John : Ok .
Natalie : But not here .
John : Come on .
Dorian : What do you think you re doing ?
David : Hey , I m doing the right think for a change , ok ? I ca nt let you take the fall for something that I ve done . Paul was a threat to our family . Dorian does nt have it in her . She s too good . She did nt kill her own sister s son . I did .
Dorian : Shut up , David ! And do nt say anything else until you have a lawyer present !
David : Hey , let me go , baby ! I do nt need a lawyer ! I do nt need a lawyer ! I am guilty , and I m ready to stand up and take responsibility for my actions . And I know these are probably hollow words coming from a guy like me , but I got something to say . I ve changed . No , I ve more than changed . I used to be a -- an ugly caterpillar . But now I m a beautiful butterfly . And do you know who s responsible for that ? This woman . Dorian s love has transformed me .
Nora : Have nt we seen this movie ?
Bo : Willard ? Would you please escort these two out to the squad room now and keep an eye on them ?
Ofc . Willard : Come on .
David : You know , that slap really hurt .
Dorian : Oh , honey , I m sorry . I m so sorry .
David : So let me get this straight .
Dorian : Right .
David : You get arrested for murder . You neglect to tell me about it . I find out about it . I cop to it and admit to it to save your beautiful butt , and then you slap me when I m about to deliver a flawlessly nuanced performance .
Dorian : David , did it ever occur to you that maybe I wanted you to stay out of it -- so that you could better concentrate on helping Kelly .
David : Maybe you should just worry about yourself because Kelly s doing just fine on her own .
Kelly : Hey , David , it s me . Listen , you were right about Kevin . He did track me down . I ve lost him , at least for now . But , listen , I m at that truck stop , so I m hoping that I ll have some answers about Babe . Give me a call when you get a chance . Thanks . Bye . Hey , could I get some decaf ?
Clerk : Looks like you need some , hon .
Kelly : Yeah . Listen , I m looking for a friend of mine . Have you seen her ?
Clerk : Oh , yeah ! Nice gal .
Kelly : She was here ?
Clerk : Asked about the pay phone . Had the most beautiful baby boy .
Kelly : Yeah , he is , is nt he ? She did nt happen to say where she was going ?
Clerk : She did nt say .
Kelly : Ok .
Clerk : I m sorry .
Kelly : Sure . Thanks . But she was definitely here ?
Kevin : The window s open . She must have seen us coming .
Man : Got to be miles down the road by now .
Kevin : She did nt say where she was going ?
Man : Uh - uh . You about done here ?
Kevin : Almost . Yeah , I think I found her .
Jen : I ca nt believe we re all together again so soon . Thanksgiving was really nice .
Daniel : Yeah , yeah , I had a great time , Jen . You know , except when I got me that night , I -- I could nt help but think that I was keeping an innocent woman from her family .
Riley : All right , yeah , that s it , dad . They ve already been through a lineup and questioning , all right ? Are you ready to go ?
Lindsay : Call me later ?
Jen : Bye , Mr. Colson .
Daniel : Jen , look , I m sorry , I did nt mean to upset you .
Jen : I m ok .
Riley : Ms. Rappaport , nice to see you .
Lindsay : You , too .
Daniel : Bye . Well , it seems like I blew it with my son again .
Lindsay : I did nt really want to say anything in front of the kids .
Daniel : What ?
Lindsay : You do nt really think that I m stupid enough to fall for that little performance , do you ?
Nora : Do you want me to take Vickers statement ?
Bo : I think we should listen to both of them and then see whose version comes closest to what we do know .
Man : Where s my lawyer ?
Officer : Come on , come on !
Ofc . Willard : Do nt move . Come on !
Dorian : So , we do nt move ? On ! So , Kelly s in North Carolina ?
David : We were tracking down Asa s birth mother .
Dorian : Oh , I feel so helpless in here ! I ca nt do anything .
David : Look , would you just let me confess so you can get out of here ? Then you can track down Kelly on your own and keep her safe yourself .
Bo : Keep Kelly safe from what ?
Kelly : Oh . Keep it , thanks . I really appreciate your help .
Clerk : Let me top off that coffee for you .
Kelly : I do nt even know which way to go . Thanks again .
Clerk : Wait ! That friend of yours -- she asked one of the truckers for directions .
Kelly : Did you happen to hear what he said ?
Clerk : No , but he pointed south . You know , she got back on that highway heading south .
Kelly : South ! Great . Thank you . Thank you so much .
Clerk : Sure , hon . I hope you find her . It seems like it s real important to you .
Kelly : Yeah , it is .
Clerk : Drive safe .
Kelly : Thanks . Oh , my God .
Clerk : What s the matter ?
Kelly : My ex - husband . He s -- he s right outside . You have to help me . You have to hide me , please .
Natalie : Look , I know it must have been hard , you know , what Cristian said to you .
John : Yeah , it s good just having Cris around even if he is yelling at me .
Natalie : Yeah , but still .
John : Nah . You lost a lot of time because of me dragging you into that case .
Natalie : You did nt know that Tico was going to try to kill him .
John : Does nt matter . What happened in Vegas is on me . And if I had to do it all over again , obviously , I never would have got you involved in something like that . Hey . You look a little cold . Here .
Natalie : Thanks .
John : You all right ?
Natalie : Yeah . I have nt told Cristian about what happened with us while he was gone .
John : Nothing really happened with us . Did it ?
Natalie : Yeah , it did . John , it s still happening .
Rex : Go away ! Do you get off on rejection ?
Shannon : I think you d better invite me inside . I could place another call to John .
Bo : All of a sudden , you two are very quiet for a change , so I ll ask again . You re trying to keep Kelly safe from what ?
Dorian : Really , Bo , do I have to paint you a picture ? Her half brother s been murdered . Her baby s been kidnapped . Who knows if we ll ever see him again . Kelly was -- was distraught and coming apart , so we -- we , you know , let her go away for a few days .
David : May I ask why I m not making my confession ?
Nora : Ok . You ready ?
David : Wait a second . What is this ? I did nt realize I d be appearing on camera . How do I look ? Do I look ok ?
Dorian : Gorgeous as usual . Here .
Clerk : I m sorry , sir . We re about to close down for a while -- trouble with the grill .
Kevin : Oh , well , this will just take a second . Kevin Buchanan .
Clerk : Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania ? What are you doing all the way down here ?
Kevin : Well , I m afraid my wife is missing .
Man : Hey , can I get another cup of coffee ?
Clerk : Sorry , I have nt seen her . Excuse me a sec . I m training a new girl . Your ex is lieutenant governor ?
Kelly : Please do nt say anything .
Clerk : Do nt worry , hon , I got you covered .
Kevin : Hello .
Harrison : Have you seen this morning s edition of The Sun ?
Kevin : I ve been a little busy .
Harrison : Well , I suggest you take a look at it . According to the story on the front page , you fled the scene of a crime .
Kevin : If Manning published that , it s libel . I was nt part of some plot to assassinate you .
Harrison : Kevin , I am not accusing you , and I m sorry I ever did , but this is a public relations nightmare , all right ? I need you here to help me take on the press .
Kevin : I understand that , but I ca nt come back yet , not till I find Kelly and my son .
David : I m sure Dorian has informed you that she offered Paul the diamond necklace that was made from what was left of the Bad - rah diamond .
Dorian : Darling , Ba - drah .
David : That s what I said . Paul said that he was going to leave town . But as soon as he got his hands on the Badhra necklace , I was sure that he was nt going to live up to his commitment .
Bo : And what happened then ?
David : She and Paul got into a fight . That s probably what -- what your witness saw . But he was alive when she left him .
Nora : And when did you get there ?
David : Not -- not long after , I followed Dorian to the graveyard . I wanted to make sure that Paul was nt trying to pull anything . And I asked him , Why have nt you left Llanview ? Do you know what he gave me ? He gave me the wrong answer . So I killed the little slimeball and I dumped him in the judge s grave . Unfortunately , my -- my brilliant -- my beautiful fiancée , she was on to me . So I moved Paul s body to the quarry . You know , incidentally , as a side note , it was just pure dumb luck that that quarry froze over .
Bo : What d you do with the gun ?
David : Oh , the gun ? I -- I dismantled that thing . I threw it into --
Dorian : David , you do nt have to say any more . So now you have his statement .
Bo : That s very interesting , though -- because we found the gun in Dorian s office . Now , there s a lot of people who might wonder -- since you love your fiancée so much -- why you would murder Cramer and then turn around and try to frame her .
Dorian : That s right , darling . A lot of people are wondering .
John : What are you saying ?
Natalie : I do nt know . We just have this connection .
John : Been through a lot together .
Natalie : When I told you everything that happened with Paul , I felt so close .
John : Yeah . Seemed like the walls came down for a little while .
Natalie : John , I have always wanted you in my life . Even when I ve made your life miserable .
John : Well , I think you sort of owed me one .
Natalie : Please , you know what I m trying to say .
John : Yeah , I know what you re trying to say . Look , we can -- we can still do this , ca nt we ? We can just sit , right ? Are you saying that s got to change ?
Natalie : It has to . My husband s back . You have to promise me , ok , Cristian ca nt ever find out what happened with us .
Rex : Ok , I m listening . What s the subject ?
Shannon : The truth .
Rex : Uh , no . You promised me you d keep quiet about that . Do I need to get it in writing ?
Shannon : One , I never promised anything , and two , I mean the truth about Paul Cramer . I mean , I know you hid the gun to protect Natalie , but the actual murder weapon was found in Dorian Lord s office .
Rex : So ?
Shannon : So where did you get the gun that you buried in the cement ?
Rex : Found it in the yard at your house .
Shannon : The Love House ?
Rex : Yeah . My mom said Natalie had been by . I thought it was hers . Why do you care ?
Shannon : Because I thought you were putting yourself on the line for Jen . I mean , until Dorian got arrested , I just -- I thought Jen killed Paul and you were covering for her and I hated that . She does nt even give a damn about you . But I do . I know you do nt believe me because I went to John , but I was just scared . I was scared you d go to prison and I d lose you .
Daniel : I really think you re misunderstanding me here .
Lindsay : I m not misunderstanding anything . And to tell you the truth , it s downright insulting because I know exactly what s going on here . Dorian told you that I went to see her after she was arrested , and that s when she tried to pin Paul s murder on me .
Daniel : That s not --
Lindsay : Stop talking . I am done being probed by you , so why do nt you go ask Nora some questions , or did she blow you off so she could go spend some time with Bo ?
Daniel : Why -- why do you always have to bring them into this , huh ? Bo and Nora have a relationship because of their son , the same way we have a relationship because of our kids .
Lindsay : No . Because to me , having a relationship implies that there s a certain amount of trust between two people , which you and I definitely do nt have .
Daniel : Then we d better work on it , because if Jen and Riley are as close as they seem to be getting , you and I will be spending a lot of holidays together .
Riley : Sure you re ok ?
Jen : When we were passing the playground , I was thinking about when I was little . My dad would get home from work and I d be in the backyard on the swings . He d push me so high , but I always felt safe . I d give anything to feel like that again , even for five minutes .
Riley : I -- I m up for the swings . Let s go .
Jen : Thanks . Can I take a rain check ?
Riley : Of course . Anytime . But since we have the time , you want to go take a look at an apartment ?
Jen : Now ?
Riley : Yeah , I could call the super . It s just a studio , but when I saw it , I could just see us living there .
Jen : I -- I could do that , yeah .
Riley : Look , even with our roommates out of town in Philly , until we have our own place , we d have a little privacy for ourselves . What s wrong ?
Jen : I ca nt .
Riley : You ca nt what ? I thought we decided we were ready .
Jen : I m sorry , I just ca nt . I m really sorry .
Clerk : Bye - bye , now .
Kevin : Bye .
Kelly : Oh , my God . Thank you so much !
Clerk : No need , hon . I know a snake when I see one , no matter what kind of big shot he is .
Kelly : Did you hear him on the telephone ?
Clerk : No . Why ?
Kelly : He was talking about an assassination ?
Clerk : You have nt heard ? Oh , look at this . Excuse me . Someone tried to shoot the governor of Pennsylvania . Well , the papers up there accused your husband of planning the hit to get the governor out of his way .
Kelly : Oh , my --
Kevin : Excuse me . Sorry to bother you , but my wife is missing and this was the last place she was seen . I was hoping maybe you d seen her .
Man : Yeah , yeah . She was working there a little while ago . Just about dropped everything in sight .
Kevin : Thanks .
John : You know I d never do anything to come between you and Cris .
Natalie : You do nt have to do anything . Come on . It s just how we are . Look at us .
John : What am I supposed to do ? Am I supposed to pretend I do nt even know you ? I m -- I m not sure I can do that , Natalie .
Natalie : I do nt think I can do that , either . So what are we going to do ?
Lindsay : I am so touched that you still want to be friends .
Daniel : Well , Lindsay , I think we owe it to Riley and Jen to put the past behind us and make some peace .
Lindsay : Like this ? No . I ca nt really picture a world where I would ever be stupid enough to trust you again .
Riley : Jen , what has changed since last night ?
Jen : You would nt understand .
Riley : Is it Cristian ?
Jen : Oh , do nt even go there .
Riley : Well , he s back in town , and you guys have a history .
Jen : No , Riley , no , it s not him .
Riley : Then what is it ?
Jen : You know the side of me that wants to go home with you and stay with you tonight and move in and to have the whole happy - ending thing .
Riley : I know it s not that simple .
Jen : But then there s the other side of me that just ca nt cope ; that self- destructs when anything bad happens .
Riley : Will you stop doing this every time ? All right , look , I know you ve done things you re not proud of , ok , but I also know you do nt want to do them again .
Jen : Maybe I already have .
John : Your husband s back now , and that s all you ever wanted , right ? You re going to have the life you always hoped for .
Natalie : Yeah . It ll be perfect .
John : Then I m happy for you .
Natalie : I should get back to Cristian .
John : Yeah . It s ok . Keep it .
Natalie : Bye , John .
John : Bye , Natalie .
Nora : Ok . Now what ?
Bo : Well , we ca nt release Dorian based on Vickers statement because it s obvious the guy s lying .
Nora : Even though he got a lot of the evidence correct , including the location of the body .
Bo : Mm - hmm . I got an idea .
David : You do nt actually think that I was trying to set you up , do you ?
Dorian : Of course not , darling , but could nt you have just stayed out of it ?
David : Oh , I m sorry . You re absolutely right . My apologies . You do nt need me . You re only looking at , what , 25 years to life for Murder Two ?
Dorian : All right , David , there is no point in us fighting about this , ok ? At least one of us is going to be released . The one that is should go and help Kelly .
David : One of us is going to be on the first flight to North Carolina . I hope it s you .
Dorian : Oh , darling . I hope it s you .
David : Watch those hands . Ahem . Well , I expect that you re here to apologize . I assume you re letting Dorian go ?
Nora : No , not with all the evidence against her .
Dorian : May I have a word with my fiancé before he leaves ?
Bo : Oh , David is not leaving . Now , you claim that you moved the body . Now , whoever did that clubbed Lieutenant McBain ; knocked him out .
David : I do nt remember confessing to that .
Bo : Mendez ? Manuel , would you please handcuff this gentleman ?
David : What ?
Bo : David Vickers , you re under arrest for assaulting a police officer and as an accessory to the murder of Paul Cramer .
Dorian : Oh .
Kevin : Hey , lady , if you re hiding my wife in here , I swear --
Kelly : What are you going to do , Kevin , have her assassinated ? You know , I m glad you re here . We have a lot of catching up to do .
Evangeline : We are on tonight for dinner for two at the Bayberry Inn .
John : Actually , I ate a burger in the park with Natalie .
Cristian : It s over now .
Natalie : It s not over , not for either one of us .
Antonio : Do nt you leave me , Jess . I need you .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Nicole : Poor Brady . I feel sorry for you . Now that Bo and Philip voted against the concert hall , Chloe may never be coming home again . I do nt suppose you ve broken the news to her . I did nt think so . You know , there are other , hotter ways to work out your frustration . That s right , Brady . Use me , baby . Yeah .
Belle : What kind of confession ?
Philip : You know , you re right , Belle . You do know this woman that I love , and I think it s time I tell you exactly who she is . Um ... I ca nt believe I m doing this , but I think that when I tell you , I think it ll be pretty clear to you why I did nt want to say anything before .
Belle : Okay .
Philip : Okay , um , well , I ve known her a really long time , and I did nt realize how I felt about her until I left for basic training . At first all I thought about was Chloe , but then things totally changed , and I realized that I was in love with another woman -- this wonderful , amazing woman .
Belle : Okay , Philip , who is she ? Who s this woman that you re in love with ?
John : When I find someone as fascinating as you , I just have to know everything about them .
Crystal : Enough about me . My song is on . Let s dance .
John : Thought you d never ask .
Tito : Back again , Kate ?
Kate : Yes . I think I left some keys here earlier .
Tito : I ll go back and check .
Kate : Thanks . Well , someone is enjoying themselves .
Mimi : Shawn s been possessive , he has said unforgivable things to Belle , and now he s abandoned her when she needs him most . You know , I always thought Shawn was one of the nicest guys in the world , but right now , I m sorry , Rex , he s being a total bastard to her .
Hope : Ahem .
Mimi : Oh ... I - I m sorry , Mr. And Mrs. Brady . I know that sounded harsh , but I m just -- I m just so frustrated . I mean , why has nt anyone heard from Shawn ?
Hope : You re not the only one who is concerned , Mimi . Bo and I are beginning to think that something might have happened to him .
Kewpie : Hurry , Jan ! Your love slave is getting away ! He s getting away !
Jan : Shawn , I m hurt ! Please help me !
Bo : We re hoping that Shawn s still on the road , you know , maybe showing off his curveball to some minor league team .
Hope : Yeah , but just in case , we re gon na check out a few leads .
Rex : Is there anything Mimi and I can do ?
Hope : Well , right now we re here to check out Shawn s room for clues .
Mimi : Is there anything in particular you re looking for ?
Deep voice : Enter his world if you dare . But once inside , you must beware . The answers you seek wo nt be complete . Just find the spot , and connect the dots .
Hope : Enter his world if you dare . Shawn s loft . His place . His room .
Celeste : Yes , yes , darling . That s where it is . That s where it is .
Bo : We re not exactly sure what we re looking for , but we think the answer might be in Shawn s room .
Mimi : You mean like a phone number on a piece of paper , or --
Rex : Or like a message to someone in his e - mail ?
Hope : Yeah , exactly . We re gon na check out all of those things . But you know what ? On the way over here , Bo and I started thinking about the night Marlena broke in here and tried to stab Shawn in his sleep .
Rex : Right , and knifed someone else instead .
Hope : If we can somehow identify the person Marlena stabbed , then maybe he or she could lead us to Shawn .
Mimi : Shawn did nt have a clue who it was .
Bo : Maybe now he does .
Hope : Either way , we re going to find our son .
Jan : Shawn ! Shawn , please help me ! Shawn !
Kewpie : You d better do something quick . If he gets out , he ll run back to Belle .
Jan : No !
Shawn - D : Damn it , where is the key ?
Jan : You re not going anywhere .
Philip : Okay . Here goes . Belle --
Belle : No , do nt ! No , do nt tell me !
Philip : Are you kidding ?
Belle : No , I just -- I feel like such a jinx lately .
Philip : You re not a jinx .
Belle : Okay , and if I know this girl , then I m gon na have a terrible time keeping this secret , and the last thing that this mystery girl needs , whoever she is , is another girl -- me -- getting all up in your business . So it s best if you just do nt tell me .
Philip : Okay .
Belle : I m just gon na have to wait until the day when I see you walk up to me with her on your arm and a huge smile on your face , and you re like , Belle , this is her .
Philip : Sounds like a plan .
Belle : Philip , you have changed so much .
Philip : That s a good thing , right ?
Belle : Yeah , I mean , all the things I loved about you before , I still do . But you moved away from home . You joined the military . You ve experienced so many things . And when you were with Chloe , she was your first love . You were just in high school . I think things are gon na be different this time around .
Philip : I hope so . You know , I made all those stupid mistakes with Chloe , though . And now Brady s making the exact same ones . You know that s why my dad was building that concert hall to begin with . It was a bribe .
Belle : I know , but I think your dad s gon na be really happy with the charities that you and Bo have chosen to carry on his legacy . I just wish that there was enough money to help all of them .
Philip : What are you laughing at ?
Belle : Nothing ! I just have this crazy picture of what I would do if I was in a position to change all that .
Belle : Thank you , thank you . My fellow Americans , more than 150 years ago , Henry David Thoreau said , our charitable institutions are an insult to humanity -- crumbs that fall from overloaded tables left after its feasts . That statement is as true today as it was then . And today , my fellow Americans , I pledge , as your next president , I will ensure that every cause in America is taken care of . Every charity will be funded and fulfilled .
Both : [ Laughing ]
Philip : Ah . I do nt know why I m laughing . I think actually you d make a fabulous president .
Belle : Well , thank you very much , Mr. Kiriakis , because if I needed a running mate , the only person I would want is you .
Philip : And you ve given this thought , have you ?
Belle : Well , I m just drawing from past experience .
Philip : Past experience ? 8th grade student council ?
Belle : Philip , come on ! You were the only person that I could count on . Nobody else really cared .
Philip : Ah , surely you re referring to vending machines in the cafeteria . It s an issue very close to my heart , as well as my stomach .
Belle : Philip , I am serious . You re just so dependable , unlike ... other guys .
Philip : Ahh .
Belle : So , am I the only person that has crazy daydreams like this ?
Philip : Believe me , you re not . And you know , sometimes those dreams turn out to be not so crazy after all .
Kate : Excuse me . I d like to cut in .
Crystal : Beat it , granny .
John : It s okay , Crystal . She s family .
Crystal : Oh , sorry , I did nt realize . Is this your mom ?
John : Crystal ! Why do nt you go back to the bar , and we ll open up that champagne , okay ?
Crystal : Groovy .
John : You wanna dance ?
Kate : What is going on with you ? I do nt understand this . I ve -- I ve only been gone 10 minutes , and what is going on with this -- excuse me -- piece of trash ?
John : Not just any piece of trash . Her name is Crystal . And your assumptions are right on the money , Kate . I m trying to seduce her .
Crystal : So who s the old broad dancing with John ?
Tito : Are you kidding ? That foxy lady is Kate Roberts Brady , president of his company .
Crystal : Hmm .
Tito : There you go .
Crystal : I knew that old bitch was trying to horn in on my Booty call .
Kate : You re trying to seduce her ?
John : It s not what you think .
Kate : John , look , I know that you re hurting --
John : Kate , Kate . I m not trying to sleep with her . I just want to find out if she has anything to do with Victor s murder . That s right . I think she might be Nicole s accomplice -- the one that helped Nicole put Victor in his grave .
Brady : You are the most amazing lover .
Brady : Nicole ? Nicole ? You okay ?
Nicole : I m fine . I , uh , I was just thinking about what happened earlier today with the family meeting .
Brady : Oh , when Bo and Philip voted against the concert hall ?
Nicole : Oh , yeah . I was so furious with Bozo and Philip blocking their votes and then swinging Shawn s proxy vote their way . I mean , if only Shawn was around -
Brady : Yeah , I do nt think it would have mattered . See , he would have voted with Bo and Philip and my sister . That s what I ca nt believe -- my own sister voted against me .
Nicole : Brady , I m sure she was only supporting Philip . It s Bo that gets me . I mean , here is Victor s bastard son , a man who fought with him for years , broke his heart because he did nt want to accept him as his father . He even called him a crook . Oh , and now he suddenly wants to control all his money ? What a hypocrite .
Brady : I do nt think Bo necessarily wants to control my grandfather s money as much as he wants you out of the family .
Nicole : What do you want , Brady ? You want me to leave ?
Rex : Are you sure there s nothing Mimi and I can do to help ?
Hope : Well , uh , right now , we re going to check out Shawn s room , so let s just take a look in there first . Uh , before do , here , put these on . We do nt want to contaminate anything , okay ? Well -- I ca nt say that I m shocked . If -- if I had nt cleaned Shawn s room up while he was growing up , I -- I would think there was something terribly wrong .
Bo : Yeah , like a hand grenade went off in here .
Hope : He ll never learn . Instead of throwing things out , he shoves them under the bed , in drawers , or --
Mimi : Well , you know , two guys living together .
Bo : Right . Um , did either one of you clean up in here since Marlena broke into your place ?
Rex : I guess , uh , probably not .
Mimi : Uh ...
Rex : Other than Mimi , no one s cleaned anything .
Hope : Mimi , have you been in here ?
Mimi : Oh , God , no . There s not enough money in the world .
Hope : What about Belle ?
Mimi : No , she avoids coming here . She and Shawn usually hang out at our place in her room .
Hope : Oh . Well , if that s the case ... Who does this belong to ?
Mimi : Oh , my God . I know .
Shawn - D : Give me the keys , Jan.
Jan : Ha ha . There s no way I m ever giving you up .
Shawn - D : Please give me the keys .
Jan : No .
Shawn - D : Whatever happened to you , huh ? I mean , you used to be normal . What made you do this ?
Jan : [ Sighs ] You , Shawn . You . Just when things started to work for us , Belle came along , and she ruined everything . How could you dump me for her ?
Shawn - D : Because I love her . I always have , I always will . You need to get used to that and let me go .
Jan : Shawn ... we could have a great life together .
Shawn - D : No . No , my life is with Belle , okay ? Not with some crazy lunatic .
Jan : Do not call me crazy . Shawn , I m in love .
Shawn - D : You call this love ? You re pathetic .
Jan : I -- ugh . Give me the key or else .
Shawn - D : No way , Jan. I am getting the hell out of here , and there is not a damn thing you can do about it . Aah ! Aah ! Aah ! [ Gasping ]
Jan : I m sorry , Shawn . I m sorry .
Shawn - D : Aah !
Jan : You gave me no choice .
Shawn - D : [ Gasping ] Aah !
Philip : Vice - president Kiriakis .
Belle : Yeah . Would you accept ?
Philip : Come on , like I could say no to you ?
Belle : And now , my fellow Americans , it is time for me to name my running mate . Ladies and gentlemen , I give you special intelligence officer Philip Kiriakis of the United States Marine Corps .
Philip : Please -- thank you . Thank you very much . However -- however , I can only hope that she will accept my offer .
Philip : Will the next president of the United States marry me ? Belle black , will you be my wife ?
Belle : Yes !
Belle : What ?
Philip : What ?
Belle : You re thinking about her , are nt you ?
Philip : How can you tell ?
Belle : Philip , how long have I known you ? If only I knew what Shawn was thinking .
Philip : Ahem .
Belle : God , why has nt he called ?
Philip : [ Sighs ]
Brady : No , Nicole , I do nt want you to go . I know I ve said in the past that if you had anything to do with my grandfather s death , I would be the first one to see you locked up .
Nicole : Seems I ve heard you mention that once or twice .
Brady : But if you are innocent , then you are entitled to what rightfully is yours .
Nicole : I appreciate you believing in me .
Brady : Hey , what s fair is fair .
Nicole : I agree . But what s not fair is that Bo and Philip are convinced that I had something to do with Victor s death . But I was handcuffed to you that night . There s no way I could have killed him .
Brady : Nicole , you could nt have physically killed my grandfather , but that does nt stop Bo and Philip and even my father from believing you hired an accomplice . In fact , my dad thinks it might have been Crystal .
Tito : Can I pour you another while you wait ?
Crystal : No , thank you , but I d like to order one for Mrs. Brady . What does she drink ?
Tito : Vodka martinis .
Crystal : Make it a double .
John : Is Crystal watching us right now ?
Kate : Oh , yes , she is . So you think that Crystal and Nicole are as thick as thieves ?
John : Ms. Galore shows up out of nowhere , she s living at the Kiriakis mansion , apparently she and Nicole are old friends -- what do you make of it ?
Kate : Well , that s a red flag , because Nicole does nt have any friends .
John : That s why I want to find out what Crystal s story is . If she and Nicole had anything to do with Victor s death , I want my kid out of that house right now .
Kate : Hmm . Well , she obviously has some bucks , because she s dressed in the latest fashion . I have nt seen designer shoes like that since Maggie Horton died .
John : Does nt look like the platinum card - carrying type to you , though ?
Kate : Oh , ha ha . Trust me , she s a grifter . And if she s friends with Nicole , well , then , your conspiracy theory gets my vote . And speaking of votes ...
Tito : For ms . Brady .
Crystal : Thank you .
Tito : You re welcome .
Crystal : I hope you re thirsty , Kate .
Kate : I would have thought Belle would have told you .
John : No , I have nt talked to her . When you left , uh , Crystal walked in . I thought I d hang around a little bit . Well , no concert hall . That s too bad . I know Brady and Victor were invested in that project . In fact , Brady was sure that it was going to bring Chloe back to town .
Kate : Well , I think that that was the bone of contention , because Philip and Bo want that money to go to charity .
John : Well , that makes sense . What about Nicole ? How does she fit in ?
Kate : You know something ? I think her plan all along , her scheme , was to divide and conquer , and that way , she could destroy Victor s legacy , and she could destroy Brady s relationship with Chloe , and she could pit one family member against the other .
John : Well , the last thing Victor s family needs right now is more unrest , what with Nicole in the picture . We got to solve this thing , Kate , cause I ll be damned if I m going to let Nicole hurt anyone else I love .
Hope : Who does the earring belong to , Mimi ?
Mimi : Mm , give me a second . Uh ...
Bo : Mimi , do you know or not ?
Mimi : I thought I did . It just looked so familiar . I think my mom has one similar to that .
Rex : Looks sort of common to me .
Mimi : Rex is right . I m sorry .
Hope : No , it s okay . We need to concentrate on the spirit s riddle , Bo .
Mimi : The what ?
Hope : N - never mind .
Bo : It s a Celeste thing .
Hope : Let s just keep looking for clues , okay ?
Bo : Hold on , hold on . I think I might have found our next clue .
Hope : What have you got ?
Bo : Oh , damn it . It s only a partial print . We ve hit a dead end .
Rex : Not necessarily .
Jan : Is your head okay ? I forgot to mention that I keep this under your bed in case you get rough and I need to whack you one , and darn if I did nt . You know , these coffee burns , they re really not that bad . This is way more fun than playing Barbie , is nt it , kewpie ?
Kewpie : He s way hotter than ken .
Jan : [ Laughing ]
Shawn - D : I m just going to keep putting you off , Jan. My mind , heart , body , and soul belong to Belle , and there is nothing that you can do to change that .
Jan : La la la la la la la
Shawn - D : Jan --
Jan : La la la la la la
Shawn - D : Jan , please ! Let s just talk some basic common sense here , okay ? What kind of love is this , and how long can you enjoy it ? All right , let me go , and I promise to you , I will not press any charges . I just -- I want you to reconsider what you re doing .
Jan : You re right . You re right , Shawn . I ve gone about this entirely the wrong way .
Shawn - D : So you re going to let me out of here ?
Jan : I m going to get the key . Guess I wo nt be needing this anymore .
Shawn - D : All right , Belle . I m coming home .
Kate : I m glad that -- that Philip had Belle to help him through the turmoil .
John : It s a 2-way street . Philip was there for Belle . I think they make a good team . I still ca nt believe that Belle has nt heard from Shawn , though . You know , the more I think about him with my daughter , the more I m starting to believe he s not right for her .
Kate : Well , you know , they -- they come from different backgrounds . That can make all the difference .
John : You re a Brady . I was proud to be a Brady .
Kate : Well , so am I. That s not what I m saying . I -- what I mean is that maybe Shawn inherited that nomadic gene from his father , and he thinks it s okay to hit the road or disappear into thin air when there s a problem . But the problem is that he s breaking the heart of the woman he loves .
John : You know , Kate , I m very fond of Philip , but why is he any different ? I mean , did nt he just run out when Chloe chose Brady ?
Kate : No .
John : No ?
Kate : He did nt just run out . He joined the marines .
John : Mm , okay .
Kate : It s true . And that transformed him mentally and physically . He went into the marines a boy , and he came out a man .
John : And because of that , you think Belle should be with Philip , right ?
Kate : Yeah , I do .
John : Yeah ?
Kate : I do . He s learned how to be a man , and he d do anything to protect Belle . He reminds me a lot of you .
John : Well , if that was a compliment , thank you . But I think you said it best , Kate -- Philip is a man , Belle is a woman , and they will ultimately decide who they want to be with .
Kate : Yes , well , of course .
John : And when Shawn comes home , I m sure the two of them are going to sit down and try to work out their differences .
Kate : [ Thinking ] But then it will be too late , because Philip will be with Belle , and there s nothing Shawn can do about it .
Kate : Thank you .
John : Thank you .
Kate : [ Gasps ] Aah ! Oh !
John : Whoa , whoa , hey , hey . What are you doing ?
Crystal : Mind if I cut in ?
John : Hey , Kate , Kate , Kate , Kate , lucky for us , basic black s around the corner , right ? I know you keep a change of clothes there .
Kate : Oh , yes , I ll just go over there and clean up . You better watch your back , lady .
Crystal : Oh , I know all about watching my back . I can take care of myself . I m sorry . I - I did nt want that old bag hitting on you .
John : That was classic . I did nt think she was ever going to leave .
Crystal : Ha ha . Seriously ?
John : Are you kidding me ? All she ever does is talk about business . I d fire her in a heartbeat if she were nt so damn good . Now ... where were we ?
Both : [ Laughing ]
Nicole : Ha ha . If John thinks Crystal was my accomplice , he d better go back to clue school , because he does nt have one . I mean , Crystal may be a lot of things , but I can honestly say she did not kill Victor . I mean , she was nt even in town when he died .
Brady : Well , if that s true , I m sure it ll check out .
Nicole : You re damn right it will .
Brady : So , tell me , how long is miss galore planning on staying with us here ?
Nicole : Not much longer . I m sure she s out painting the town red , picking up on some guy as we speak . And if we re lucky , she ll get in some relationship and move far , far away .
Brady : Yeah . If you want her to leave , Nicole , why do nt -- why do nt you just ask her ?
Nicole : Because I owe her big time .
Crystal : You want me to do what ?
Nicole : It s a piece of cake .
Crystal : You call murdering somebody a piece of cake ?
Nicole : If Marlena talks , I ll end up in jail right next to you , and all my money wo nt be able to help you or me .
Brady : Well , does it have to do with your past ? You know , when -- when you two worked together ?
Nicole : In porno ? It s okay , Brady . You can say it . Yeah , Crystal took care of me . She was nt much older than me , but she had the nerve to stick up for me . She would nt let those sleazy letches touch me when we were nt filming . It s kind of funny .
Brady : What is ?
Nicole : When I think back to the hell I went through growing up and what I m going through now , it seems like a joke . Ha ha . I mean , even if I was mother Teresa , John , Bo , Philip , and -- and everyone else in Salem would still believe that I killed Victor .
Brady : Ha ha .
Nicole : What ?
Brady : I m just trying to picture you as mother Teresa , that s all .
Nicole : Ha ha ha . Well , I m glad I can make you laugh .
Brady : Ahem .
Nicole : I - I got to go inside .
Brady : Wait , Nicole , wait a minute . Um , I got an idea . I - I , uh , I appreciate you standing up for me and Chloe with -- with the concert hall , so I d like to thank you by -- by taking you out to dinner , maybe some drinks , dancing .
Nicole : You mean it ?
Brady : Yeah . Yeah , sure , why not ?
Nicole : I do nt have anything to wear .
Brady : Oh , please , Nicole you could practically put on anything and -- and look great , so just go upstairs and get changed . I ll clean up , and we ll get out of here .
Nicole : Thank you .
Philip : Come on . Shawnll call soon .
Belle : You know what ? I do nt think so . Each day that goes by , I just get more and more worried that something s happened to him or that he s just dumped me .
Philip : No . Think about what Bo said . Maybe Shawn is following around some minor - league team . I do nt know .
Belle : Well , I ve got too much going on to just fall apart . Even though my mom s gone and Shawn s missing , I still need to concentrate on my own life . Speaking of which , do you want to see my new designs ?
Philip : Yeah . Show me . Come on . Maybe you should model some of these for me .
Belle : I do nt think so .
Philip : No ?
Belle : No .
Philip : I think it would be fun . Ha ha .
Belle : Just look at -- I design them . I do nt wear them .
Philip : Okay , well , let me see .
Belle : Okay .
Philip : These are unbelievable . You know , you have an amazing talent . Look at this .
Belle : I just really wish there was a way I could mold what I do at basic black into some kind of charitable role . Here .
Kate : Maybe there is a way you can do both .
Philip : Mom .
Kate : Belle , if you re really interested in doing charitable work , and if you think you can handle the extra hours , I m looking for a new director for the basic black foundation . Are you interested ?
Belle : You -- you want me to do it ?
Kate : I would love you to do it . Now , I m going to talk to your dad , but I m sure he d be in favor , too .
Belle : Oh , my God . Thank you . I -- I do nt believe this , but , Kate , I do nt know if I could handle that on my own with college and my junior designer position .
Kate : Well , I ve already thought about that . How about if the two of you work together ? I mean , Philip , if that -- if you can handle commuting back and forth from base .
Philip : Are you kidding me ? I can handle it .
Belle : Philip , this is great ! We re going to be working together !
Philip : Well , you know , it s not quite president and vice - president , but I ll take it . I ca nt wait to get started .
John : I appreciate you sticking up for me , Crystal , but the fact is Kate is nothing more than a friend and an employee who has a one - track mind on her career .
Crystal : Oh , you say that now , but I ve seen those old , desperate women like Kate hit on rich , sexy men like you , and once they sink their teeth into your fle--
John : Shh . I do nt want to talk about Kate anymore . I would much rather focus on you .
Crystal : Ha ha . Ha ha .
Brady : Nothing to wear , huh ? Nicole , you would look good in a potato sack . Tito . What s going on , man ?
Tito : Hey . It s slow tonight . Uh , but you ve got some invoices on your desk that need your immediate attention .
Brady : Oh , um , better check those out in my office . Just give me a second , okay ?
Nicole : Yeah , sure .
Brady : Excuse me .
Tito : You are smokin tonight .
Nicole : Yeah ? Then how about giving a girl something to fan her flames ?
Tito : One double martini coming up .
Nicole : Okay .
Crystal : My life is an open Book .
John : Well , if that s the case , what do you say we fast - forward to the chapter about you and Nicole ? Now , I do nt know much about the widow Kiriakis , but I do believe she has designs on my son . Do I have any reason to be worried about that ?
Crystal : Absolutely . Nicole s a killer .
Nicole : Thanks .
Tito : You re welcome .
Nicole : Oh , my God . I m dead .
Rex : Okay . I ve scanned the image of the partial print onto Shawn s computer .
Bo : Hey , there s no way to positively match a partial print .
Rex : Well , by design , that s true . However , it s easy to manipulate what the computer thinks it s seeing . Watch . All right , now let s get into the Salem P.D. mainframe home page . All right , Bo , go ahead and put in your password .
Hope : Mimi .
Bo : All right .
Hope : Okay .
Rex : All right . Now , you see , by submitting the partial print into the archive as a damaged file , the computer will try to fix it , and then offer to overwrite it with a complete print .
Mimi : Rex , you are brilliant . Are you sure you want to be a bartender ?
Bo : Bartender ?
Rex : Mimi .
Mimi : Sorry . I just think you ought to start your own company in Salem .
Rex : All right .
Bo : I do nt believe it .
Hope : Does it match anything in the system ?
Bo : Yeah , there is a match .
Hope : Who does the fingerprint belong to ?
Bo : The murderer .
Shawn - D : You re doing the right thing , I swear to God .
Jan : And I believe you , patient Shawn . Double meaning there . I know I am . Now , I do nt know why I did nt think of this sooner .
Shawn - D : Where s the key ?
Jan : What key ?
Shawn - D : The key to let me out of here .
Jan : Oh , Shawnie , you should have beaten the hell out of me and taken the key when you had the chance . But no , not our Mr. Nice guy . Oh , pretty please , Jan , please , uh , let me have the key so I can go home and tell the world that you re here . If you re going to run , then run . Do nt talk . I m not going to let you out of here .
Shawn - D : But you said --
Jan : I was talking about the key to the gun cabinet .
Shawn - D : The gun ... cabinet ?
Jan : Yeah .
Shawn - D : Why , okay , what -- what the hell are you going to do with that , huh ?
Jan : Duh . I m going to put some gloves on so there wo nt be any prints or gunpowder residue , and then I m going to stalk your precious little Belle and kill her sorry ass in cold blood . And I m going to do it tonight . And once she s gone , you wo nt have any reason to go home anymore . Then it s just you and me , lover ... forever .
Next on Days Of Our Lives

### Dialogue:
Bill threatens to reveal Quinn s secret ; Hope & Liam come to an agreement about their future .
Liam : [ Chuckles ]
Ivy : Liam , I --
Liam : Too forward ?
Ivy : No . No , not at all .
Liam : I guess I wanted to thank you for tonight , and , um ... a kiss seemed appropriate .
Ivy : Well , I , uh -- like I say , I really like your instincts .
Liam : [ Chuckles ]
Ivy : [ Chuckles ]
Wyatt : Well , we might as well put this to good use .
Hope : Mm . You read my mind .
Wyatt : Well , that s one of my many skills .
Hope : [ Chuckles ] So , what am I thinking now ?
Wyatt : Um , you want me to put on some music and , uh , dim the lights .
Hope : You re good . You re so smart .
Wyatt : Yeah ! You know ?
Hope : Mm - hmm .
Wyatt : Liam s gon na be okay .
Hope : I -- we -- you know , we do nt even have to talk about that , because I m not even thinking about it .
Wyatt : Mm - hmm .
Hope : Mm - hmm .
Wyatt : Mind - reader . Liam and Ivy are swimming around up there .
Hope : Yeah , they re swimming , all right -- swimming along together in the seine .
Wyatt : [ Chuckles ] You know ... if she had nt have been in paris that day ...
Hope : Hey . I have no regrets .
Wyatt : I know . I know . It s just ... she fell , and the course of her life changed , and that s huge , hope . I mean , it s got to be affecting you . You do nt have to pretend that it is nt -- not with me .
Quinn : You re not telling anyone about this .
Bill : You pushed Ivy into the seine !
Quinn : Yeah . It was nt hard -- her perched on that little edge and just a little err !
Bill : With her in the water , you knew that Liam would be distracted .
Quinn : I knew he could nt pass up a good , old - fashioned rescue mission .
Bill : Keep him away from hope .
Quinn : Yeah , so she d turn to our son -- her husband . Funny how things have a way of working out .
Bill : So , exactly how much time have you spent in a straitjacket ? Because you are completely insane !
Quinn : Stop calling me that .
Bill : Insane !
Quinn : I am a mother . I did what had to be done . And look -- hope and Wyatt are married .
Bill : And how long do you think that s gon na last when hope finds out what you ve done ?
Quinn : Why should she ?
Bill : Because I m gon na tell her -- and Liam and Wyatt .
Quinn : Hope and Wyatt are happy . You re not going to mess with that .
Bill : Normally , I would nt . I appreciate what Wyatt has -- thinks he has . But Liam is miserable .
Quinn : Oh . Oh . There you go . There you go . Playing favorites again . Yeah . You re giving Liam everything that he wants while you re making Wyatt beg for the crumb .
Bill : I m gon na give them the truth . What they do with it is up to them .
Quinn : You re just jealous .
Bill : Of what ? !
Quinn : Ha ! [ Laughs ] Big bad dollar bill tries to break up hope and Liam over and over again , but he never succeeds , but me -- one little bump into that Forrester girl and I -- I succeed where you never did .
Bill : I broke up Liam and hope plenty of times .
Quinn : Mm - hmm .
Bill : And I m not proud of it .
Quinn : And why is that ? Because -- oh -- they do nt belong together .
Bill : Because I was an interfering , meddling father who could nt keep his trap shut and let his son live his own life .
Quinn : That s exactly what I m asking you to do -- keep your trap shut .
Hope : You re right . When Ivy fell , my life changed . But now she s interested in Liam , and that makes the whole thing seem a little ... strange .
Wyatt : What do you think -- she fell in on purpose ?
Hope : Not really , no . I mean , who would do that ?
Wyatt : I mean , does it even really matter how she ended up in the river ? No . Maybe she jumped . Maybe she fell in . But whatever happened , the fact of the matter is Liam did nt make it to you in time . So , that does nt give it any reason to look back and wonder about it , especially since you ended up with , like , the most awesome husband in the world .
Hope : [ Chuckles ] You got that right . I sure did .
Wyatt : Mm !
Hope : Handsome ...
Wyatt : Ooh , yeah .
Hope : ... Very smart ...
Wyatt : Mm . Keep going .
Hope : ... And just so , so good for me .
Liam : I really did appreciate what you did this evening -- throwing this dinner party .
Ivy : Good . So , you did have a good time .
Liam : Are you kidding ? Yes . Of course I did . I almost forgot I was in Beverly hills . I felt like I was ... [ Australian accent ] In the outback .
Ivy : Okay , good . That -- that s all I wanted . I just -- I wanted you to forget your troubles for a little bit . That s all I really intended . [ Chuckles ] Look , I - I want you to know I did nt have any ulterior motives or anything like that -- not that I m complaining about where this is heading .
Liam : [ Normal voice ] Well , that makes two of us .
Wyatt : Feeling better ?
Hope : Mm , I am -- not that I was feeling bad , but just ... I know that whoever Liam spends his time with and whatever he does , I do nt need to get involved .
Wyatt : You really , really do nt .
Hope : I just have to take a leap of faith and trust that it will all work out for Liam .
Wyatt : Mm - hmm .
Hope : Like it did for us .
Wyatt : That s exactly what we did -- took a leap of faith .
Hope : Leap of faith ?
Wyatt : Okay .
Hope : Whoo !
Hope : Best jump of my life .
Wyatt : I d do it again and again .
Hope : Except next time , we cannonball .
Ivy : I was kind of worried things were nt going so well .
Liam : I know . I know . I was trying so hard not to be a killjoy tonight , and you did such a nice thing , having us all over . And all I did was -- I do nt know . Maybe -- maybe it really was too soon for me .
Ivy : Look , I want to help you realize that ... there is life after hope .
Liam : I appreciate that . I appreciate you .
Quinn : Do nt get involved . The kids need to live their own lives .
Bill : I m not the one pushing people into rivers .
Quinn : No , you re trapping them in gondolas or getting their fathers out of prison -- God knows what else over the years . You know what ? You -- you should be thanking me .
Bill : Thanking you ?
Quinn : Yeah . Yeah . Why were you working so hard to break them up in the first place ?
Bill : Liam belonged with Steffy .
Quinn : And he does nt now ?
Bill : She s not an option now .
Quinn : Well , neither is hope . She s married . This is nt even about Steffy . Hope never made Liam happy . You knew that . But Wyatt is different . One look and it s obvious there s something deeper there .
Bill : It does nt justify what you did .
Quinn : What did I do except hope the chance to admit what she really wanted ? She took the coward s way out . She was nt ready to admit that she preferred Wyatt , so she sent Liam through all of these ridiculous hoops -- fly to paris , meet me after my photo shoot , or else . Come on . A woman who is truly in love with a man does nt give him ultimatums like that . She just gave herself the out she really needed .
Bill : What about Liam ?
Quinn : There are plenty of women out there that are not his brother s wife , and I would think you do nt want your sons fighting over the same girl anymore . Wyatt is happy . In time , Liam s gon na be happy . Be a good daddy . Stop interfering . pretend I know how that feels , because I do nt , but
Ivy : You re going through a difficult time . Hope married your brother . I m not gon na sit here and pretend I know how that feels , because I do nt , but I just -- I want you to know that I m here for you and I ll listen and I ll throw boomerangs around for you if you want .
Liam : Thank you . That s -- that s exactly what I need -- someone to listen and boomerangs -- so many boomerangs , lots of boomerangs . You re gon na teach me how to throw one , right ?
Ivy : Yeah . Yeah . I m really good at it . I ve done it like once .
Liam : Oh , my God . And you call yourself an Australian .
Ivy : I know . I failed you .
Liam : Well , you made me laugh at a time in my life ... no , you have not failed me .
Ivy : Is everything okay ?
Liam : Oh . Um ... yeah . I forgot I put this in my calendar . Hope and I adopted this cat , and , uh , we re kind of sharing him , and I m supposed to drop him off tonight .
Ivy : [ Laughing ] Oh , okay . So , it s kind of like shared custody ?
Liam : Yeah , I guess -- yeah , you could call it that .
Ivy : Well , I think that s adorable , and I think you should get out of here . I do nt want you getting in trouble with the feline courts .
Liam : [ Laughs ]
Ivy : [ Laughs ]
Liam : Oh , my God . I m actually dreading this so much .
Ivy : Why ?
Liam : Cause going to that house , where hope and Wyatt are living as man and wife , it s --
Ivy : Oh , yeah . Having to drop the cat off with the stepfather .
Liam : Oh , my God . You get it . You so get it . Ivy gets it !
Ivy : Well , can you call me in the morning and let me know every detail , please ?
Liam : Yeah . You know what ? I will .
Bill : Hope did nt make this decision on her own . You made it for her .
Quinn : Sometimes people need a little help -- a push .
Bill : Off a bridge ?
Quinn : Well , if that s what it takes . That s what we do , people like us -- we take action .
Bill : Stop . Quinn , stop believing that we re alike .
Quinn : Oh , but we are -- more than you care to admit . Do you know why Brooke is not married to you right now ? Hmm ? It s because you re a leader . You re a man . You do what needs to be done . You dumped Ridge out of that helicopter , just like I dumped Ivy off of that bridge . That s what we do . We get the job done . [ Chuckles ] People like Brooke are intimidated by us cause we make moves that seem a bit aggressive , and that scares them and they back off . They sit back and they wait for life to happen , and they re oh so surprised when it does . But not you . Not me . We know what we want , and we go after it . Now , I want Wyatt to be with hope , and deep down ... you do , too .
Aly : Hey .
Ivy : Hey .
Aly : I brought you a pint . Chocolate peanut butter , right ?
Ivy : Ooh , my favorite !
Aly : But was that Liam I saw driving away ?
Ivy : Yes .
Aly : Hmm . I m surprised . I thought he was leaving a long time ago .
Ivy : Turns out the party was a success after all .
Hope : Thank you .
Wyatt : What , for the champagne ?
Hope : No . For listening and understanding .
Wyatt : Those are chapters 1 and 2 of my husband handbook .
Hope : Oh , you have a handbook ?
Wyatt : Mm - hmm .
Hope : I had no idea .
Wyatt : Of course . It s on my side of the bed . I read it at night .
Hope : You , um , keep reading . It s working .
Wyatt : Okay . The handbook also says to invite your wife to join you in the shower , which is where I m headed .
Hope : That sounds great . It s just , you know , you sing in the shower , so it s kind of distracting -- cause it s so beautiful , of course .
Wyatt : Beautiful ? I m taking song requests .
Hope : Oh . Well , then , get to scrubbing . I ll be right there . [ Laughs ]
Bill : Do nt ever interfere in Liam s life again .
Quinn : I have what I want . There s no need for me to ever think about him again .
Bill : And leave Wyatt alone , as well . Let him and hope live their life .
Quinn : Does this mean that you re gon na ...
Bill : It means that I ca nt stand you and I would like nothing more than to see the three of them tear you apart . But the fact is Liam and hope never worked . And there s no use pretending otherwise . So , your secret is safe . And so are Wyatt and hope .
Aly : So , he kissed you ?
Ivy : Yes .
Aly : Meaning ?
Ivy : This was nt like the other times . This was -- I do nt know . It felt real .
Aly : [ Laughing ] Ivy .
Ivy : I know .
Aly : This is huge .
Ivy : Maybe .
Aly : Your first real kiss ? Yeah , it s huge !
Ivy : I just want him to be happy .
Aly : Well , would say he is well on his way .
Hope : I m sorry . I totally forgot you were dropping boo off tonight . Hi , baby .
Hope : Oh , hi , my sweet love . I missed you .
Liam : [ Chuckles ]
Hope : Go on in . Um ... I d invite you in --
Liam : No . No . I would nt -- I - I do nt -- I do nt want to intrude . I probably should have texted you to confirm .
Hope : No , it s fine . No , no , no . It s fine . It s fine .
Liam : I bought that cat toy you told me about .
Hope : Oh , good -- the one with the mice that are coming up on the pole ?
Liam : Yeah . You were right . He went nuts .
Hope : I told you .
Liam : Yeah . God . Is this weird ?
Hope : What ? [ Chuckles ]
Liam : [ Chuckles ] I do nt know . It s like we re parents , you know , sharing this animal .
Hope : I do nt think it s weird . We both care about him .
Liam : Yeah . I want you to know , you know , all -- all those memories , all those moments that we had are etched into my mind , and I -- it s not like I think anybody can take that away from me . I just wish -- I do nt know what I m saying . I understand that Wyatt does nt want the cat , and it would probably be more practical if I took boo full - time .
Hope : No . No , no , no . That s -- I do nt -- I do nt want that .
Liam : Really ?
Hope : No .
Liam : Okay . Okay . Then can you promise me something ?
Hope : Yeah .
Liam : That boo is ours no matter what -- no matter what happens , we share him and we raise him ?
Hope : Okay . Yeah . I promise .
Liam : Okay . It s -- there s this -- there s this part of my brain that keeps wanting to tell me it s not over .
Hope : [ Sighs ]
Liam : And then ... I come here , and ... it s all very real . And ... I do nt know . I should go . So ... I sh-- bye . Uh ... okay . Thanks .

### Dialogue:
JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST : You can follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @jaketapper. You can tweet the show @theleadcnn. Our coverage on CNN continues right now. See you tomorrow.
WOLF BLITZER, CNN HOST : I'm Wolf Blitzer in THE SITUATION ROOM. And we're following breaking news, major new developments in the coronavirus pandemic. The Acting Homeland Security Deputy Secretary, Ken Cuccinelli, just revealing that coronavirus travel restrictions for Europe are, "under discussion." We're also standing by for a White House coronavirus briefing this hour as the number of known cases here in the United States climbs to more than 1,100 with 33 confirmed deaths. And President Trump now says he'll address the nation about the pandemic from the Oval Office at 9:00 p.m. Eastern later tonight. And in a dramatic new development, the NCAA recommended this year's men's and women's basketball tournaments will be played, without spectators in the stadiums due to coronavirus fears. We'll talk about all the breaking news with former Defense Secretary and former CIA Director Leon Panetta as well as former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. And our correspondents and analyst are also standing by. First, let's go to our National Correspondent, Erica Hill. Erica, you're in New Rochelle, New York, that's a city just outside of New York City. It's really feeling the impact of the pandemic.
ERICA HILL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT : Wolf, it's been just over 24 hours since Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a containment zone here in New Rochelle. Important to point out and officials are stressing today, this is not a lockdown for the area but it is certainly changing daily life for everyone in this space.
HILL (voice-over) : Life is changing, quickly and drastically.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE : It is a scary time.
HILL : Perhaps nowhere is that more obvious than in this New York suburb, home to the state's largest cluster of positive coronavirus cases and a new one-mile containment zone.
MAYOR NOAM BRAMSON (D), NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK : This is a situation that is evolving not only by the day but by the hour. We hope and expect that the measures that have been put in place, thanks to the leadership of the governor, will be helpful in mitigating the spread of the virus and helping make sure that especially we protect the most vulnerable populations, seniors, those who have compromised immune systems.
HILL : At the center of that zone, the synagogue where the first positive case in New Rochelle, a man in his 50s, attended services just before his diagnosis. And while the area is not on lockdown, large gatherings have been restricted and some schools are closed.
GOV. ANDREW CUOMO, (D) NEW YORK : We really need to take more aggressive actions. This is not going away on its own. Like it or not we're going to have to make some tough decisions and we're going to have to start to act united to reduce the density.
HILL : The focus on large gatherings, worship services, school events, upcoming St. Patrick's Day celebrations, extends far beyond New Rochelle. San Francisco is limiting events to less than a thousand people including NBA games.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE : We would recommend that there not be large crowds. If that means not having any people in the audience where the NBA plays, so be it.
HILL : In three Washington State counties, the crowds will be even smaller, nothing over 250 people by order of the governor.
GOV. JAY INSLEE, (D) WASHINGTON : It is clear that our state needs a more vigorous and more comprehensive and more aggressive position if we are going to slow the spread of this epidemic.
HILL : Meantime, the number of those infected exploded as more are tested. Ten long term care facilities in Washington State now reporting positive cases. A Canadian passenger from the "Grand Princess" who was allowed to fly home because they did not show signs of the virus tested positive upon arrival. Others from that ship settling in for a protective two-week quarantine in Dobbins Air Base in Georgia. But the process of getting from the cruise ship to the quarantine on dry land hasn't been without its frustrations.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE : It takes us awhile to get you guys off these buses, so please. I know you've been through a lot. I hope you have a little bit of patience left. But it's going to be about an hour and a half before we start getting your bus unloaded.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE : No.
HILL : They are among the more than 2,000 passengers who will be monitored at multiple bases for the next 14 days.
FAUCI : We will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now. How much worse it will get will depend on our ability to do two things, to contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside, and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country. Bottom line, it's going to get worse.
HILL : In terms of it getting worse, officials are stressing these numbers are going to rise. Part of the reason, though, is because of an increase in testing which is important. I do want to point out though, Wolf, there are still questions about who can get test and where. I spoke with a woman this morning who lives in the containment zone here in New Rochelle. She hadn't been feeling well for a few days. Once the zone was announced she wanted to make sure she was being a responsible neighbor and wouldn't infect anyone. She called her doctor who sent her to the hospital. The hospital told her to call the Department of Health for the county. The County of Health sent her back to her doctor. Bottom line, she couldn't get a test. And, Wolf, she had a really hard time getting a straight answer as to what she should do.
BLITZER : I keep hearing similar stories here in Washington D.C. as well. Erica Hill, thank you very much. Let's go to the White House right now. Our Chief White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta is all over the story for us. So, Jim, what are you hearing over there, what's the latest?
JIM ACOSTA, CNN CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT : Wolf, the latest is just a few moments ago the White House announced the Vice President's coronavirus briefing, something that they hold on almost a daily basis, has been canceled. That because President Trump will be addressing the nation tonight from the Oval Office at 9:00 p.m. to lay out his prescription for the coronavirus outbreak. The President is still insisting the economy is, "strong" despite the selloff on Wall Street. And one of the recommendations we are hearing that the President may lay out tonight, the President may announce some new travel restrictions for passengers headed to Europe. One top Homeland Security official told lawmakers earlier today those restrictions are under discussion inside the administration. But part of the problem for the President is that there is an outbreak of mixed messages and false statements coming from the White House.
ACOSTA (voice-over) : With the stock market plunging over fears of the coronavirus, the President told some of the nation's top banking executives he'll make an address to the nation to lay out measures aimed at stopping the outbreak and turning around the economy.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES : If we get rid of the problem quickly and everything solves itself. We don't need stimulus.
ACOSTA : Top health officials for the Trump administration are cautioning the public that this virus is more dangerous than the seasonal flu, counter to what the President has been telling the public.
FAUCI : It is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu. I think that's something that people can get their arms around and understand. We do not know what this virus is going to do. We would hope that as we get to warmer weather it would go down. But we can't proceed under that assumption. We've got to assume that it's going to get worse and worse and worse.
ACOSTA : Contrast that stark assessment from the administration's top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, with the President's claim that the flu is worse than coronavirus, tweeting, "Nothing is shut down, life and the economy go on. Think about that."
TRUMP : When you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple of days is going to down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done. Well, w're testing everybody that we need to test. And we're finding very little problem. Very little problem. Now, you treat this like a flu.
ACOSTA : While the President has been predicting the virus will disappear quickly, administration officials say they expect the outbreak to continue to spread.
ALEX AZAR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY : We've been clear from the start, we're going to see more cases. This is a virus. This will spread. We need to take steps to slow that, buy ourselves time.
ACOSTA : Another flash point where there is disagreement in the administration, large public gatherings. The President's reelection campaign is planning a large event in Milwaukee next week, while Dr. Fauci appears to be recommending the opposite.
FAUCI : We recommend there not be large crowds. And as a public health official, anything that has large crowds is something that would give a risk to spread.
ACOSTA : In an interview with C-SPAN, Vice President Mike Pence said he's not worried.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE : Are you concerned about appearing in these large venues, these large rallies, you personally?
MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES : I'm not concerned. And -- but we'll follow the facts every single day about what makes the most sense for the American people.
ACOSTA : There was also a clash up on Capitol Hill over how to cure an economy that is reeling. The administration is calling for a payroll tax holiday that could last months.
STEVEN MNUCHIN, TREASURY SECRETARY : If you're home because you're in a sick situation, you would get that money as well. That money would go -- that money is -- goes to everybody across the board to stimulate the economy.
ACOSTA : Democrats say that's too expensive.
SEN. ANGUS KING, (I) MAINE : The estimates I've heard are from $800 billion to $1 trillion on top of an already trillion-dollar deficit. This is a good example, by the way Alison, that we shouldn't have been cutting taxes in the middle of economic growth and adding to the deficit.
ACOSTA : Now, the President told the banking executives he just met with a few minutes ago that he believes there will be pent-up demand to spend money once the coronavirus outbreak eases, predicting that will help stimulate the nation's economy. The President also conceded there is some Democratic opposition already to his proposal for a payroll tax holiday up on Capitol Hill. That is a signal that there could already be a major clash over a stimulus package to respond to the outbreak. And we did try to ask the president for his reaction to Americans who were simply worried he's not taking the situation seriously enough. Wolf, he did not directly respond to that question. Wolf.
BLITZER : Jim Acosta at the White House, thank you very much. The financial fallout from the pandemic is clearly worsening right now. The Dow closing just a little while ago, down another 1,400 plus points, only a few weeks ago it closed at a record high of more than 29,000. Since then, it shed almost 6,000 points, down more than 20 percent, officially a bear market right now. Let's get some more on all of this. Joining us, former Defense Secretary, former CIA Director Leon Panetta and former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. Gentlemen, thanks to both of you for joining us. Secretary Panetta, let's begin with the breaking news, the acting Homeland Security Deputy Secretary saying travel restrictions to Europe are now under consideration. Do you think that would be the right call?
LEON PANETTA, FORMER DEFENSE SECRETARY : Well, I think the right call right now is for the President to address the country, which I'm glad he's going to do. He should have done it, frankly, a few weeks ago. And it's important, frankly, that the President do things that have not been comfortable for him. One is to talk the truth about what's going on and how serious this crisis is and how it has to be addressed. The other is, he's got to unify this country. He can't keep splitting Republicans from Democrats. He can't keep splitting parts of the country one from the other. This is a time when we have to unify this country to deal with a very serious problem. It goes beyond, frankly, travel restrictions which I know he's prone to do. And certainly it could help. But there's much more that needs to be addressed by this President.
BLITZER : Secretary Johnson, you served as the Homeland Security Secretary during the Obama administration. What would you recommend to the President?
JEH JOHNSON, FORMER HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY : Well, like Leon, I think it's important that we have to get our messaging straight. The overall goal has to be to reverse the trend lines, to reverse and lessen the pace of the growth of this virus here in this country. We went from 15 cases 15 days ago to now over 1,100. That's an alarming rate of growth that has to be turned around. I'm not in the situation room anymore so I don't know all the facts that those who are do know about whether or not we should be suspending travel to the entire European continent. I might be advocating a more surgical approach to this. But the problem in this country right now, as your lead-in points out, Wolf, is that there are not enough test kits to go around. So people who want to be tested for this virus who may have some symptoms are not able to get tested as they should, which is why I suspect the number of cases that are documented is probably a large under representation of the problem we actually face. And so the key here is regulating human behavior. Whether it's large public gatherings, washing your hands, but regulating human behavior which probably in this circumstance is a state by state, community by community thing. And so it's up not just Washington, we all tend to look to Washington to solve our problems, but governors, mayors, county commissioners, to regulate behavior in those communities based upon the level of the disease.
BLITZER : Yes, I suspect once those tests are really readily available those numbers are going to skyrocket here in the United States. Secretary Panetta, the President issued a statement on Twitter just a little while ago saying this, "I am fully prepared to use the full power of the federal government to deal with our current challenge of the coronavirus." He says he'll have a lot more to say in his address later tonight. But what other powers does he have at his disposal right now to deal with this?
PANETTA : Well, the most important thing for a president, as I said, is to be truthful to the American people. And for the last few weeks, he has largely been trying to paint a very positive picture here that somehow this was temporary and that we would overcome it quickly when all of the science and medical information indicated that we have a growing problem on our hands, it's going to get worse. So the first thing is for the President to, as I said, speak the truth to the American people about how serious this issue is and how all of us, all of the states, all of the communities, all have to come together to try to deal with it. But he's also got to say what steps we need to take to contain this, because it is serious. And that means that coming from the President, he ought to be advocating steps to try to make sure that for a short period of time here, this country is going to mobilize to contain this virus and then to mitigate it. There has to be a sense of confidence. Right now the greatest threat to our country is total uncertainty about what the hell we're dealing with. The President has to eliminate some of that uncertainty.
BLITZER : That's an important point. Secretary Johnson, what options do you think the President should be considering? In other words, what would you like to hear from him later tonight?
JOHNSON : The facts. I know from my experience as Homeland Security secretary, you don't want to be alarmist in this circumstance nor do you want to, you know, give out facts and figures like, you know, it's worse if you have the flu, to try to intellectualize it. People don't want to hear that from their leaders. They want to know the facts and what they can do and what you're doing about the problem. And so the public right now suspects that everything this President says has a political gloss on it because he's running for reelection. I think it's very important tonight for the President to give the American people the straight story and what they can do about it and where they can go to get tested, where they can go to get information and what they should be doing to regulate their own behavior. We're getting a lot of mixed messages from Washington right now on that.
BLITZER : Very good advice from Jeh Johnson and Leon Panetta. Gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us. These are really, really critical days here in the United States. We appreciate you joining us. And to our viewers, stay with us, the White House, as you just heard, canceled today's daily briefing by the Vice President Mike Pence, and the coronavirus task force but the President, later tonight, will be making a statement to the American public at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. CNN of course will have live coverage. And within the past hour, the NCAA recommended this year's men's and women's basketball tournaments be played without spectators in the stadiums due to the coronavirus fear.

John : One string at a time .
John : I should get that .
Evangeline : Ok .

Natalie : I m lost .
John : Where ? Can you see an address or anything ? Natalie ?
Roxy : Yo , trick - or - treaters , what s with the fireworks ? Hey , what happened ? At least I know it was nt you shooting those things off . Hey -- oh , hey , great fake blood . Hey , you want to talk to Roxy about it ? Come on in .
Natalie : I should nt have come here .
Roxy : Why not ? I got cold beer in the fridge and I got chocolate - covered candy corn .
Natalie : I do nt want to be here . I do nt want --
Roxy : Honey ? Hey , hey , hey -- hey , come on , honey , it s Halloween ! You got to lighten up ! Just buck up a little bit ! It s the only night of the year that you can get away with murder .

Jen : Oh , God , how could I do this ?
Kelly : Paul ? Oh , my God . Oh ! You scared me ! What are you doing here ?
Kevin : Well , I could ask you the same thing , could nt I ? Of course , I already know . You re looking for the name of Ace s biological mother , are nt you , Kel ?
Kelly : I told you I was going to find her .
Kevin : Oh , do nt waste your time . I m not letting you give our son away .
R.J. : So , where were you when you saw the gun last ?
Lindsay : I was at the store . I reached into my bag to get my wallet to pay for something , and I realized that it was gone .
R.J. : And you looked inside your car ?
Lindsay : Of course I looked inside my car . I checked every inch of the gallery . It s gone !
R.J. : Well , where else have you been tonight , Lindsay ?
Lindsay : Deliberately avoiding people that I know .
R.J. : Did nt you get any of my messages ?
Lindsay : Yeah , I did . I just did nt feel like talking .
R.J. : Well , I started to think that maybe you were out doing something stupid .
Lindsay : I pretty much have nt left the gallery since that tape came out on the internet .
R.J. : Ok . But why did you need a gun to go to the grocery store ? Have nt you heard of coupons ?
Lindsay : I take it everywhere I go , R.J. I m scared to death of Paul Cramer ever since he broke into my gallery .
R.J. : So there was nt anyone in particular that you were hanging out with ?
Lindsay : I have nt really felt like being with anyone .
R.J. : Well , I sure wish I had known Cramer had this tape earlier . I ought to bury him with it .
Lindsay : You re as angry at him as I am .
R.J. : Look , he should ve been taken care of months ago .
Lindsay : R.J. , what if somebody is madder at him than we are ? What if they took the gun and they intend to use it ?
Jen : lindsaydoesllanview.com is what Paul called it . You could log on and see Rex and my mom .
Nora : Ok , I understand .
Bo : And you say that the site is not up anymore ?
Jen : Thank God . The only reason it was up is because I was so stupid .
Nora : Oh , Jen .
Jen : It s true . I tried to deal with Paul myself . I should ve come to you to begin with . He should be punished for this , right ? I mean , is nt there something you can charge him with ?
Nora : I m not so sure . But , you know , there could be a civil case in this . I ll get working on that .
Bo : I m going to put out an A.P.B. , bring Cramer in , and ask him a few questions . Excuse me .
Nora : Ok . You know , Jen , your mom may have a case against Rex for filming that videotape without her knowledge .
Jen : She knew about it . And Rex is the one that got the site shut down because he was so furious when he found out about it . I m really afraid of what he might do when he runs into Paul .
Roxy : Oh , baby , come on in ! It s candy corn time ! So , what do you think ?
Rex : Of what ?
Roxy : Yeah , like I dress like this every day ?
Rex : Close .
Roxy : I m really working this wig , huh ? Who are you looking for ? Shannon ? If you are , she s out partying on campus .
Rex : Yeah , is Jen here ?
Roxy : She s on the outs with Riley . Are you thinking of making some moves on her ?
Rex : No , no . She was here earlier . She was pretty freaked out when she left . I was just trying to help her with something .
Roxy : Something like Lindsay Does Llanview ?
Rex : You did nt see it , did you ?
Roxy : No , honey , that was too disgusting . Next time you better hide away in a closet .
Rex : Yeah , thanks , mom , I ll remember that next time .
Roxy : You know , I think I m the only person who knew that Paul was just scum .
Rex : I m sorry , you were the only one besides Natalie who liked him .
Roxy : Yeah , but that was before he made my baby into a cipher - spaced porno star .
Rex : Yeah , well , what he did to Jen was worse . But she wo nt have to worry about him anymore .
Roxy : What about Natalie ? He s been dogging her ever since he dumped her . By the way , she was over . She did nt even say a word about him .
Rex : When was that ?
Roxy : I do nt know . It was about 20 minutes ago . She was acting kind of weird .
Rex : Well , Cramer wo nt be bothering Natalie , either .
Roxy : Why ? What d you do to Paul ?
John : Hopefully , she ll call back .
Evangeline : With all that s gone on between Natalie and Paul Cramer , she could be in trouble . If you want to go check it out , go on .
John : She could be anywhere .
Evangeline : If anyone can find her , it s you .
John : Maybe I should . You sure you do nt mind ?
Evangeline : Of course not , John . She s your friend .
John : Hey . I do nt want to just leave you .
Evangeline : You re not . I m going with you .
Viki : Natalie ! Hi , darling .
Natalie : Hi .
Viki : Hi . My God , what happened to you ? Sweetheart , what s wrong ? Natalie , honey , please let me help you .
Kelly : Look , I know you want me to wait until after the election , but I am going to find Ace s biological mother . If she did nt want to give him up , she has a right to have him back .
Kevin : Oh , you think it s going to be that easy , huh ? You just give her back her baby ? There s not going to be any consequences ?
Kelly : I want to do what s right for Ace .
Kevin : Kelly --
Kelly : What are you doing here ?
Kevin : I thought that maybe Paul was planning to sell Todd his story .
Kelly : He ca nt sell Todd anything . Todd knows where Ace came from . He s not going to put that in The Sun .
Kevin : The election is in less than a week . It s a perfect time to break a story .
Kelly : My God , are you listening to yourself ? We re talking about Ace . We re talking about a child we both love ! I mean , you do nt care about anything but your political career . Todd is not going to publish that story .
Kevin : Oh , do nt be so naive .
Kelly : What have you done to Paul ?
Kevin : What ?
Kelly : I know what you re doing here . You do nt want Paul talking to me . You do nt want Paul talking to Todd or anyone else . You came here to shut him up for good , did nt you ?
Kevin : You re right , I did .
R.J. : Lindsay , do you think someone you know took the gun ?
Lindsay : I do nt know .
R.J. : Maybe Jennifer ?
Lindsay : Jen would never hurt anybody . But if she wanted to shoot Paul , I would certainly understand because I d like to shoot him myself . Lately my mind has been drifting back to when Troy betrayed me . And I remember thinking that I would nt get any relief until -- until he got his punishment . It s all I could think about . All I could think about was going over to Blair s and doing something , doing something to Troy . Only it was nt Troy , it was Sam .
R.J. : Lindsay , just leave that in the past . Just let it go , ok ?
Lindsay : Lately I ve been having the same feelings about Paul .
R.J. : Well , it sounds like a good thing that you do nt have the gun .
Lindsay : Yes . It s a good thing I lost it .
Nora : Jen , why do you feel like this website is your fault ?
Jen : Because I tried to blackmail Paul and it backfired .
Nora : Ok , so Paul asked for money . You said no . Then what happened ? Hey . Jen , it s ok . Did he threaten you ?
Jen : He offered to give me the tape if I had sex with him .
Nora : Oh --
Jen : I did nt , Nora . I never even planned on letting him touch me .
Nora : Did he hurt you ?
Jen : No , I went to his motel room . He was already drunk out of his mind , and I just -- I kept stalling him and getting him more drunk till he passed out , and I found the tape and I left . I did nt think he had copies . I did nt think about that at the time .
Nora : Well , you should nt have had to think about it at all . You did nt make the tape , you did nt threaten anyone with the tape , and you certainly did nt show a videotape of anyone without their consent . I --
Jen : Riley saw me leaving the motel room , and now it s over .
Nora : Jen , you told him what really happened , right ?
Jen : Yeah , I told him and he believed me , but he said that I should ve come to him instead of trying to deal with it by myself . He said I did nt trust him . Maybe I did nt because I thought he would ve made me go to the police . And then Paul would ve found out and he would ve put the site up . And I just wanted to help my mom , and I wanted to fix the problem and just get this over with as quickly as possible .
Nora : I m familiar with that . I know what it s like . Hide something from someone that you care about -- it s the last thing you should do .
Jen : I did everything wrong .
Nora : I do nt know . I think you and Riley still have a chance . What do you think ?
Jen : I do nt know .
Nora : Why do nt you go talk to him ? Come on . I think he wants to talk to you . What do you got to lose ?
Riley : Hey .
Jen : Hey .
Riley : You ok ?
Jen : Getting there .
Riley : Are you ready to start trusting me again ?
John : Hey .
Evangeline : Hello .
Bo : John , Evangeline . I thought you were taking the night off .
John : Yeah , that was the plan . Then I got a call from Natalie . She did nt sound good .
Bo : What d she say ?
John : Said something about being lost , and then she hung up . I d lay odds it has something to do with Cramer .
Bo : The guy s been very busy for the past few days . Got his hands on a videotape that was nt his , used it to set up a website -- Lindsay Does Llanview .
John : As in Lindsay Rappaport ?
Bo : Mm - hmm .
Evangeline : Oh , no , you re kidding .
Bo : Yeah . Well , the website s down now , but the damage is done . There s a lot of people who d like to do some damage to Paul Cramer .
Viki : Sweetheart , I really think you should have a doctor look at that .
Natalie : No , mom , it s ok . Besides , you do nt want to wake up Jamie , you know ? I m just happy here . What you re doing is exactly what I need .
Viki : You ca nt be comfortable in that coat . Why do nt you take it off ? I ll get you a sweater if you re cold .
Natalie : No , thanks . I ll keep it on .
Viki : Honey , ca nt you tell me what happened ?
Natalie : Yeah , I fell . I tripped and I just -- I hit my head . I m ok .
Viki : You know what , honey ? Head injuries can be very dangerous . Please , let me take you to the hospital to check this --
Natalie : No , no . No hospitals , ok ?
Viki : Natalie , I hope you know that you can tell me anything .
Natalie : I know . I guess that s why I came . Mom , I m so sorry .
Viki : Darling , why are you apologizing ?
Natalie : Because I killed somebody that I loved .
Roxy : I know what you d like to do . It s Halloween , and you d like to bury him in the woods .
Rex : Do I look like a guy who shovels ? No . All I m saying , forget Cramer .
Roxy : How are you going to keep him away from Jen and Natalie ?
Rex : I ll take care of Jen , always . Natalie s got John McBain to watch her back .
Roxy : No , he s her bud only when his new girlfriend ai nt around .
Rex : Well , he s also a cop , so he s got it covered .
Roxy : Why is it that the two of you want to be with people who do nt want to give you the time of day ? I mean , I know I was a bad mama , but was I worse than I thought ?
Rex : Got to go . Tell Jen to call me when she gets back .
Roxy : Hey , hey , come on ! Take a load off ! Come on , you look like you re about to pop a vein .
Rex : Look , I m just -- I m worried about Jen , ok ? I do nt know where she went when she left here , ok , but she was so mad at Cramer , she was out of her head .
Roxy : What do you mean , like Lindsay ? You know , pop , bang ?
Rex : Paul Cramer could turn anyone into a murderer . I ll see you later .
Roxy : Hey , I hope you find her .
Jen : How can you asked me to trust you after what I did ? I ca nt even trust myself . I always screw everything up .
Riley : Look , you did what you thought you had to do . I m here to help . I came looking for my dad to see if we could press charges against Cramer for putting up that website .
Jen : I do nt know what to say . Thank you . I just talked to Nora , and she s handling it .
Riley : Good , because I d like to break his neck for what he did , but I ll settle for seeing him in jail . You know that I love you . Now , do nt run away again .
Jen : Riley , I m really sorry .
Riley : I m sorry , too .
Jen : Just everything that has happened , I do nt know if I can deal with it .
Riley : Look , we ll do it together , ok ? You want to go home ?
Jen : Yes , please .
John : Hey .
Nora : Hey .
John : Hey . I m going to take off . I m going to go look for Natalie .
Evangeline : Ok . Well , Nora s trying to make a case against Paul Cramer for that website , so I might as just well stay here and try to help her .
John : All right . Look , I m -- I m sorry about our evening .
Evangeline : Tomorrow .
John : Later .
Evangeline : Ok . I hope Natalie s all right .
John : Thank you .
Nora : Bye , John .
John : Bye - bye .
Nora : Are you as ok as you seem about this John - Natalie thing ?
Evangeline : Natalie s not a problem unless I make her one . Now , why would I want to do that ?
Natalie : I ran into Jen Rappaport last night , and she believes that Cristian s death was my fault .
Viki : What ? Darling , you know that s not true .
Natalie : I thought so , mom , I thought , but I do nt know . I mean , of course I have gone over it in my head a million times , and just one thing could have changed , just one . If I had just thrown that pool tournament in Vegas , then --
Viki : Natalie , stop this , please . Darling , you can not obsess about what might have been . Honey , if -- even if you had done that , something else could have happened .
Natalie : Yeah , but you do nt understand . I had so many chances to save Cristian . I mean , I was Flynn s hostage . I mean , I never should have let him take my place . I mean , why did nt I just scream ? Why did nt I do something ?
Viki : Because , sweetheart , you could nt have stopped him . Cristian loved you very , very much , and believe me ; he would not want you to be doing this . You can not blame yourself .
Natalie : Imagine what he d feel about my relationship with Paul .
Viki : Oh , come on , your relationship with Paul -- it s over .
Natalie : Yep . Paul s definitely out of my life . If only that could bring Cristian back .
Kevin : Just think about it , Kelly . What if I did make Paul disappear permanently ? Then no one could ever take Ace away and we could be a family again . You know , he would finally be ours .
Kelly : But he s not ours . Our baby died . And I ca nt stand the thought of keeping this child away from a mother who could be missing him .
Kevin : Oh , come on , you ve known about her from day one !
Kelly : But I did nt know about this true situation . I did nt know that she did nt want him . I did nt know that she did nt want to give him up .
Kevin : Oh , so you believed when Paul told you that , oh , he just happened upon a young homeless woman and she just gave over her baby to him freely ?
Kelly : Yes .
Kevin : You believed that ?
Kelly : Yes , I believed it . I did nt think he would lie about something like that , and if I had known the truth , I would have made him take the baby back to her immediately .
Kevin : Ok , well , that s easy to say now , is nt it ?
Kelly : I told him that then , and that s exactly what I m going to do now as soon as I find out who she is .
Kevin : Ok , Kelly , listen to me . Listen -- leave , now .
Kelly : No , I m not going anywhere .
Kevin : You walk out of here right now , or you will never see Ace again .
John : I was hoping that maybe she finally showed up for work .
Mac : Nobody s seen Natalie since that dust - up in the alley .
John : With that guy Cramer .
Mac : Yeah . You know , you can do me a favor . Do nt tell her what I said the other day about her being fired . It s got to be something really big for her to blow off work .
John : Yeah .
Mac : You know , Natalie drives me crazy sometimes , but I really do have to feel for the girl . You know , one day you re a newlywed and the next day you re a widow . And she s a hard worker . Well , maybe you can help straighten her out .
John : If I can find her , Mac . If I can find her .
Mac : Well , good luck .
John : Hey , if you hear anything -- you know , if she calls you -- you let me know ?
Mac : Oh , yeah , sure thing . Do nt worry about it .
R.J. : Well , what about Paul Cramer , hmm ? You going to run him in anytime soon , or are you just too busy keeping Ms. Williamson on hold while you chase around town after Natalie Buchanan ?
John : If you think it slipped my mind that you sent those lowlifes to work me over , you re wrong . Your day is coming , pal . Until then , I strongly suggest that you stay out of my face .
Evangeline : Well , Benjamin vs. Robertson is nt going to work either .
Nora : No ?
Evangeline : No direct evidence , so , I do nt know . I ll find something . I do nt know .
Nora : Oh . Well , thanks . It was a shot in the dark anyway . You know , when I mentioned Natalie and John before , I understand what it s like to be in a relationship with someone who thinks there s a third party involved , you know ? I mean , remember how long it took Daniel to get it through his head that he did nt have to compete with Bo ?
Evangeline : Well , he knows that now .
Nora : Well , yes , he does . He knows that Bo is not a rival . So I think when John tells you that Natalie s not involved or he s not involved with Natalie , you should believe him .
Evangeline : I do .
Nora : Good .
Evangeline : Who are you trying to convince here , me or yourself ?
Nora : What ?
Evangeline : Nora , did something happen with Bo ?
Nora : What are you -- hi .
Bo : Hi . Can we charge Cramer ?
Nora : Uh -- no . Sorry . We got nothing but hearsay . Unless we get evidence that -- hard evidence -- that Cramer s directly linked to the website , or we get statements from Lindsay and Rex saying that they did not give their consent for him to use the videotape . And even then , it s hard to make it stick .
Bo : Hmm .
Nora : Thanks .
Evangeline : Call me if you need anything , ok ?
Bo : Ok .
Evangeline : I am so sorry nothing panned out , but I ll see you later .
Nora : Ok , thank you .
Evangeline : And , hey , we re still on for that thing with Asa , right ?
Nora : Oh , definitely .
Bo : Yeah , we re trying to come up with the best way to make him pay .
Evangeline : Great . See you guys .
Nora : Thank you .
Bo : Ok . That s it .
Nora : What ?
Bo : You want to make pa pay , right ?
Nora : Right . You mean as in money ?
Bo : Yeah . And it s right here . The department s fund for widows and orphans has just announced a cut in benefits due to a $ 4 million shortfall . What do you think ?
Nora : It s brilliant . It s brilliant .
Bo : All right , there it is . That s what we re going to do , ok ?
Nora : Mm - hmm .
Bo : I m going to stick around here and wait for John , see if he heard anything from Natalie . You want to split an order of fries ?
Nora : Oh , fries . Yes . Splitting ? No . I ll get my own , thank you very much .
Bo : Ok .
Viki : Where did you go tonight , sweetheart ?
Natalie : I went to Roxanne s . You know , I -- I fall asleep , and when I wake up , I do nt feel like I m fully awake yet , you know , and sometimes I still think Roxy s my mother . I know it sounds crazy , but I did nt really have much of a life until I found you .
Viki : Well , I thank God every single day that you did .
Natalie : You know , you showed me what it was to love , and you took down those walls that I had built so hard to keep anyone from hurting me , and showed me what it was like to let someone love me . And then I finally allowed Cristian to love me . I never knew you could love someone that much . Sometimes I m lying in bed and I still feel like his arms are around me . And sometimes I hear the door open and it s like he s coming in just like he always did . And I can smell the paints . Let s make it always be like this . I want it to last forever .
Cristian : Well , we ve got forever . We ve got all the time in the world .
Natalie : I feel like he s still watching me . But he s gone .
Viki : I so wish I could take all this pain away from you .
Natalie : It s too late .
Viki : It s too late ? What do you mean , honey ?
Natalie : I m really sorry , mom . Just please remember that . Please ?
Viki : Where are you going ? Natalie ? Honey , please , let me come with you .
Natalie : I have to do this alone .
Viki : Natalie -- Natalie , honey , please wait .
Bo : You know , just one time I wish you would try it my way . All right , you put the ketchup on the side . That way you can control the distribution of your ketchup . You see ? Your fries look like a murder scene .
Nora : Food is not meant to be controlled . Ketchup , certainly not . You see , I like fries . I like ketchup . I want them to like each other . I want them to intermingle .
Bo : Obstinate . I hope you have nt taught my son any of your crazy habits .
Nora : Oh , you ll be very pleased to know that despite my attempts to do otherwise , he s been a dipper of French fries ever since he could hold one .
Bo : Good , see ? Buchanan blood .
Nora : Mm - hmm , yeah . But he can scarf a plate full of lox in less than a minute , something you ca nt do after a three - day fast .
Bo : He sure did nt get that one from me .
Nora : No . That s a Hanen trait .
Viki : John , thank God . I m so glad you called . Listen , I m very worried about Natalie . She was just here . She s very , very upset , and then she ran off .
John : She say anything about where she might be headed ?
Viki : No , no , but , you know , she was carrying on about Cristian and she said she feels so guilty about his death .
John : Ok . That gives me a couple ideas . I ll call you when I find her .
Viki : Thank you . Thank you very much .
Man : I thought that was you .
Lindsay : What ?
Man : I saw your website . It was hot . It s a shame it s down now . But the real thing is even better .
Lindsay : Leave me alone .
R.J. : You heard the lady .
Man : I was just trying to give her a compliment . I --
R.J. : Just start walking , and do nt let me see you around her again .
Lindsay : Thank you .
R.J. : Well , you do not have to put up with perverts . Why do nt I take you home ?
Lindsay : Nah , I think I m going to stay here .
R.J. : You re sure ?
Lindsay : Yeah . I let Paul humiliate me . If I never leave my house , then I let him make me a recluse .
R.J. : Well , if prison could nt break you , a website ca nt do squat .
Lindsay : But back then I had somebody to help me escape from prison .
R.J. : Well , if you should need similar aid , I ll be there .
Lindsay : I appreciate that . But I m not going back to prison this time .
Riley : Oh , hey --
Jen : Let s go upstairs , huh ?
Riley : Whoa , whoa . Oh , oh , hey , hey . Hey , hey , hey , hold on , hold on .
Jen : Why ? Do nt you want to be with me ?
Riley : Oh , God . More than you can imagine , yeah . Oh , hey . I just do nt want our first time to be out of consolation or trying to cover up any feelings . I know how upset you were about the videotape with Paul , ok ? But is there something else ? Is there more to that ?
Jen : I do nt want to talk about that right now .
Riley : Ok . Listen , when you do , I ll be here , ok ?
Kelly : Oh , I get it . There are no witnesses around , so you can drop the whole family - man routine and just threaten me outright .
Kevin : You can leave now .
Kelly : I m not going anywhere . Ace is going to be with his real mother .
Kevin : I m warning you , Kelly .
Kelly : No , I m warning you . Do nt mess with me . One word from me and Todd will be all over this story , so you better start being a lot nicer to me , or I wo nt wait until after the election . Now , get out of my way .
Kevin : You listen to me . I am not about to let you or your brother ruin my life . So if I were you , I would nt make me do something I might regret .
Antonio : You said something about Jessica s marriage . Is she in trouble ?
Kevin : I wo nt let you go to Ace s birth mother with the truth .
John : Natalie , is this your blood or someone else s ? Where were you tonight ?
David : What are you doing with this ?

### Dialogue:
Claire : There we go . Ciara is gon na be the most beautiful bride ever .
Marlena : [ Sighs ] That s because she has such a conscientious maid of honor .
Claire : Mm - hmm . Well , I just want to make sure that everything is perfect for her . I really wish that I d had time to throw her an actual bachelorette party , but at least we went out for drinks with allie last night .
Marlena : Allie did nt have a drink , did she ?
Claire : No , no , of course not . She had soda . But it was really , really fun , yeah . Almost like old times between ciara and me .
Hope : Ciara !
Ciara : [ Groans ]
Hope : Ci--
Ciara : [ Groans ]
Hope : Oh , it s time to get up ! Today is your wedding-- honey , why are you still dressed and sleeping on the sofa ?
Ciara : Hmm ? Mom ?
Hope : It s your wedding day . Oh -- oh , my lord . Baby , you do nt look so well . Are you okay ?
Ciara : [ Groans ]
Hope : Uh - oh . Oh , god . Oh , no . Run , run .
Ciara : Oh , my god , I m gon na puke , I m gon na puke .
Hope : Oh , god . Ciara ! Oh .
Ben : Ciara ? I thought you did nt want me to see you in that dress .
Ben : Jordan ?
Jake : Coming ! What the hell ?
Gabi : [ Sighs ] I would not be here except I have some news . It is about your mother .
Jake : Oh . I take it the arraignment did nt go so well ?
Gabi : Did nt happen . I m really sorry , jake . Vivian s dead .
Kate : Here s to you , viv . When I woke to the news that you had croaked , it was like a tonic . I practically skipped here to see you laid out . The air smelled fresher , and the birds sang sweeter , and ... [ Sighs ] Did you die a wretched death ? Because after everything that you have done to me , after all these years , you damn well better not have gone gently into this good night .
Male announcer : Like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives .
Ben : Jordan ... you ca nt be here .
Jordan : Oh , I m dead . I get to take dramatic license .
Ben : This is a nightmare . This is nt happening , this is nt happening .
Jordan : I am your conscience , ollie .
Ben : You ?
Jordan : I was a good sister to you . You remember ? I would always take care of you . It s what I did . I was a caretaker . And I was on a path to finding real happiness until you stole that happiness away from me . Rafe loved me , and I could have married him , and we would be raising david together . It should be me in a dress like this ! You ruined everything for me !
Ben : No , I tried to save you , jordan . I just tried to save you . It was david s father who killed you .
Jordan : If it had nt been christian , it would ve been you . We both know that ! I mean , they put you on death row . They almost executed you because everyone knew that you had it in you .
Ben : Not ciara . She believed in me when I did nt believe in myself . Jordan , she saved my life .
Jordan : Oh , okay . So you re telling me that-- that ciara helped you find the true meaning of love ? Ugh ! Please .
Ben : She did . And today , she s marrying me .
Jordan : Poor , little , deluded girl . Because one day , ciara s gon na look back at this day and know that her wedding day was the absolute worst day of her life .
Ciara : Oh , my god , mama . Mom , this was supposed to be the perfect day .
Hope : I know , I know .
Ciara : And what , I wake up puking ? Like , are you serious ? Oh , my gosh , I hope this is nt some sort of sign or something .
Hope : No , no , no , it s not a sign , it s not a sign .
Ciara : [ Groans ]
Hope : Baby , do you think maybe you possibly drank a little too much last night ?
Ciara : No , no , I didnT. I only had one drink , I swear . [ Groans ] Oh , my god . Mama , what s wrong with me ?
Hope : Oh , baby . I m sorry .
Kate : Well , I guess it does nt really matter how it happened . [ Chuckles ] Cause finally , you have gotten what you deserve . [ Scoffs ] Or have you ? Because honestly , this would be just your style to stage your death . You know , to give me false hope . I could be talking to an empty coffin right now . I suppose there s only one way to find out . When migraine strikes ,
Ivan : What are you doing ?
Kate : [ Gasps ]
Ivan : What do you think you are doing ?
Kate : You scared the hell out of me .
Ivan : Answer me .
Kate : Vivian was my life - long nemesis . I want to see with my own eyes that she s really dead .
Ivan : I was at the police station yesterday when she collapsed .
Kate : Did she suffer ?
Ivan : The paramedics worked on her for quite some time .
Kate : Pounding on her chest like on tv ?
Ivan : Yes . Then they said there was no use . She died instantly .
Kate : Damn it .
Ivan : Madame died in front of half of the police staff .
Kate : Oh , I see . Okay . So if everything is so on the up - and - up , why did you stop me from taking a look at her ?
Ivan : I would hate to disturb her eternal slumber .
Kate : Did you really just say that to me ?
Ivan : But if that s what it takes to satisfy your ghoulish obsession , please .
Jake : My mother s dead ? What happened ?
Gabi : Um , she died in police custody . They -- they think it was a heart attack .
Jake : Guess it was all a little too much for her , huh ? Finding out that the son that she loved did nt actually come back from the dead , that it was just his identical twin ? A lowlife mechanic ?
Gabi : I m sorry -- I m sorry I did nt tell you last night .
Jake : She told me not to go after you , but I ran out on her and-- [ Sighs ] Now I ll never see her again .
Gabi : You did nt know what was gon na happen . None of us did .
Jake : Well , from what I ve seen , vivian was nt exactly a regular citizen .
Gabi : That s the understatement of the century , but ... she was still your mother .
Jake : Yeah .
Gabi : I just wanted to tell you . I m really sorry for your loss .
Marlena : You know , I think it was very generous of ciara to give you the benefit of the doubt after what happened .
Claire : What are you talking about ?
Marlena : I m talking about the nail polish on the wedding gown , I m talking about missing engagement ring .
Claire : Whoa , um , who told you about that ?
Marlena : Nobody had to tell me about that . I ve been watching you very closely . That s a condition of you being out of bayview .
Claire : Okay , but I really hope you know that I would never do something so cheesy and awful as destroying my best friend s wedding dress . [ Stutters ] I mean , I would nt do something like that now . Not after I worked so hard to get better , you know ? I m actually doing everything I possibly can to make it up to ciara . I m going to be the best maid of honor that anyone has ever had , grandma , okay ? Speaking of which , look at that , I have to go . All righty . I will see you at the church . Goodbye .
Marlena : Goodbye .
Claire : I love you .
Marlena : I love you , too .
Ben : I have never hurt ciara . And I never will .
Jordan : [ Scoffs ] Come on . You know , one of these days , she is going to get on your nerves . You will just snap . Just like you did the last time . Maybe on your wedding night . You know , maybe something she does , maybe something she does nt do . And you will grab this right here and you will wrap it around her neck tighter and tighter until you ca nt wrap it any tighter . It s a really brutal way to go . I should know .
Ben : [ Gasping ]
Gabi : I hate to drop news on you like this and leave . Where s gwen ?
Jake : Mm . Gwen is out spending the dimera fortune she s certain I m going to inherit .
Gabi : Well , I do nt know if this helps or not , but rafe s told me ivan s gon na have some sort of wake for vivian this morning .
Jake : Mm . I would nt know anybody there .
Gabi : I could go with you if you want , you know ?
Jake : You did nt even like her .
Gabi : You would nt have liked her , either .
Jake : Why would you do this for me ? I m nobody to you .
Gabi : You are stefan s brother . You will always mean something to me . I m sorry . I m sorry for the way that I treated you last night . I was--
Jake : No . You were grieving for your husband all over again . You needed to do it alone , just like I need to do this alone , so ... thank you for the offer .
Gabi : Sure . Maybe we will see each other again sometime .
Jake : Maybe .
Hope : You still nauseous , honey ?
Ciara : Mm - hmm .
Hope : Here . This is ginger ale . Take a sip . If you can hold it down for 15 minutes , then take another sip .
Ciara : Okay .
Hope : Okay ?
Ciara : Okay .
Hope : You know , you do nt seem to have a fever . You know , it could be the stomach flu .
Ciara : Oh , god . I do nt know , mom . All I know is that when I woke up this morning and I lifted my head off the pillow , I knew that I needed to throw up .
Hope : Oh , the last time I woke up and-- threw up .
Ciara : What , mom ?
Hope : Is there any chance you could be pregnant ?
Ben : Hey , thank you for seeing me .
Marlena : Hi .
Ben : I know it was super last minute .
Marlena : Well , you sounded very upset on the phone .
Ben : Dr. Evans , I had this dream that did nt seem like a dream until I woke up . I need to know what you think it means . I have to know .
Marlena : Okay . Why do nt you , uh , tell me all about it ?
Ben : It was like-- it was like I woke up and my sister was right here with her back to me and then when she turned around , I asked what she was doing here and ... she told me that I m still a killer at heart . She told me that I m gon na hurt ciara someday .
Marlena : Do you think that s true ? Do you think that might happen ?
Ben : No .
Marlena : Ben , listen to me . Look at me . Look at me . You got a lot going on . I know it s a huge life change . You re committing to be with ciara for the rest of your life , and marriage is complicated . It does not come without a lot of stress attached to it .
Ben : I thought I was gon na be alone for the rest of my life .
Marlena : Why ?
Ben : Cause I just-- [ Stutters ] I thought it was safer that way .
Marlena : Listen to me . You re doing everything right . You re staying on your medication , you re continuing your therapy , and your illness is under control .
Ben : But that does nt necessarily mean forever , right ?
Marlena : Well , I mean , I ca nt guarantee that . Nobody can guarantee that . Look , people are different . They change . Circumstances change .
Ben : I m not talking about me , I m talking about the person that I once was that did these horrible , unspeakable things . That -- that person is still inside of me , is nt it ?
Marlena : Ben .
Ben : Please , doctor . Just be honest with me . Please , just ... that ben weston , that killer that my sister was just railing against in my dream , he s always gon na be a part of me , wo nt he ?
Ciara : Um ... no . No , I ca nt be pregnant . I m 100 % sure of that .
Hope : Okay , well , I do nt think it s food poisoning . That would ve kicked in a few hours after you ate .
Ciara : Oh , my god .
Claire : [ Singing wagner s wedding march ] [ Chuckles ] You look like hell .
Hope : She s nauseous and has an upset stomach .
Claire : No , what ? No . This is awful . On your wedding day ?
Ciara : Yeah , the worst .
Hope : Uh , let me run to the drug store and see what I can find that might help , okay ? Would you stay with her ?
Claire : Yeah , of course .
Hope : Okay . I ll be right back , sweetheart .
Ciara : Okay .
Claire : Oh , my god . I can not believe that this is happening to you .
Ciara : [ Chuckles ] Ca nt you ?
Claire : What do you mean ?
Ciara : What the hell did you do to me , claire brady ? Limu emu & doug
Kate : She looks pretty peaceful for someone whose soul is burning in hell .
Ivan : Stop it !
Jake : Whoa .
Ivan : Show some respect .
Jake : Looks like I got here just in time .
Ivan : Jacob .
Jake : It s jake .
Ivan : Look , jake , your dear mother made it clear that had she known of your existence , she would have preferred a name with a more continental flair . I took the liberty of adding a few consonants to your name in her obituary .
Jake : You re kidding . [ Chuckles ] Made her obituary .
Ivan : Indeed you have .
Kate : Well , why would nt you ? You re her son , though not her precious son , as she suspected .
Jake : No , just his not - so - precious twin brother .
Ivan : But one that shows great respect in being here for her funeral .
Jake : Well , I may not have known the lady , but she was my birth mother . It s my last chance to see her .
Jake : We may have said hello for the first time yesterday , and-- well , now we re saying goodbye forever .
Claire : Okay , I really do nt know what you re talking about .
Ciara : Last night , claire , you put something in my drink , did nt you ?
Claire : [ Gasps ] Wait , what ? Oh , my god , no !
Ciara : No ? Okay , then why do nt you tell me what is wrong with me because I do nt have a fever and I m definitely not pregnant .
Claire : Okay , it must be something you ate , I do nt know .
Ciara : Something I ate ? Oh , come on , claire . I had , like , two grapes and a cracker before we went out last night . You know that I ve been so nervous about the wedding , I can barely eat anything .
Claire : Right , right , so you ve been eating , like , nothing , and then last night , we had queso .
Ciara : Right , we did . We had queso . And how do you feel after the queso ?
Claire : Okay , well , I m fine , but I mean , queso is loaded with cheese .
Ciara : [ Groans ] No , no , no . My mom said that it ca nt be food poisoning .
Claire : Okay , well , I do nt know , maybe you re lactose intolerant or something !
Ciara : Oh , come on , claire . You were the one who said that we had to go out last night , you were the one who bought me my drink , and you were the one who made fun of me for getting sick that time in high school when we drank too many zombies .
Claire : Ciara , I would never try and make you sick .
Ciara : [ Chuckles ] Right . All right , okay . All right , well , when my wedding dress was splattered with nail polish and ben and I came to you to ask you about it , you had just finished doing your nails . Mm - hmm . Only an idiot would let you off the hook for that , but I did because I wanted so badly for us to be okay again .
Claire : And no -- and so did I.
Ciara : And then when my engagement ring disappeared , ben and I actually argued over whether I should find a new maid of honor or not .
Claire : I -- I know , but look , I am telling you the truth , ciara .
Ciara : You know what , claire ? That s it . Three strikes . You re out .
Claire : What do you mean ?
Ciara : I mean I do nt want you to be my maid of honor , I do nt want you at my wedding , and I never want to see your face ever again .
Ciara : I said get out of here , claire .
Claire : Ciara , please . Just listen to me , I--
Ciara : [ Gags ]
Claire : Oh .
Ciara : [ Retches ]
Jake : A little too early to be chugging champagne .
Kate : [ Chuckles ] I have been waiting a decade for this day .
Jake : So you were nt a fan of vivian s ?
Kate : I could tell you a few horror stories about your late mama .
Ivan : Do nt listen to her .
Kate : Oh , really ? Is there anyone else here waiting to pay their respects ?
Ivan : Madame was a wonderful woman .
Kate : Madame was a vicious viper . Let me buy you a drink . I m gon na tell you a few stories about your mommy dearest , perhaps ease your loss . When you find out how lucky you are never to have known the bitch .
Claire : I smell like throw up .
Ciara : Yeah ? I d do a lot worse than that to you if I was nt feeling so rotten .
Claire : All I wanted to do was make your wedding day special .
Ciara : Oh , it s special , all right .
Claire : I wanted my best friend back .
Ciara : Best friend ? You are not my friend , claire . [ Scoffs ] You are not my friend and you never were .
Claire : Uh - huh . This is all coming from ben , is nt it ? Yeah , he turned you against me .
Ciara : Ben , ben ? You think this is-- it s not ben , claire . This is you . You will never change . You have nt changed . The only thing that s changed is you ve stopped trying to set me on fire !
Claire : You are not supposed to talk about that .
Ciara : Okay , you know what , claire ? I do nt care . Get out of here ! And do nt you ever come near me ever again .
Claire : [ Sobs ]
Hope : Oh , oh . What s going on ? What s happened ?
Ben : I never would ve gotten out of bayview . I never would ve met ciara if it were nt for you . And I did nt deserve your support , dr . Evans , not after what I did to will .
Marlena : May I tell you how gratifying it s been to me to see how hard you have worked to get well ? And I know will feels the same way or he never would ve agreed to be your best man .
Ben : Yeah .
Marlena : Anything else I can do for you ?
Ben : Honestly , I feel a lot better now . Thank you .
Marlena : Oh , then I ll go . I imagine you have to get ready for the wedding , do nt you ?
Ben : Yeah . [ Chuckles ]
Marlena : I will , uh , I will see you there .
Ben : Well , I ll look for you .
Marlena : I m on the groom s side .
Ben : I appreciate that , but you , uh , you might be alone . I do nt really have that much family other than clyde . And he s in the joint .
Marlena : Mm .
Ben : I know this is probably , uh , a little bit weird thing to say to your therapist , but you kind of make me feel like I have some type of family . A normal one . Would it be okay if I gave you a hug ?
Marlena : It would be great if you gave me a hug .
Ben : [ Smooches ]
Marlena : [ Chuckles , sighs ] I got you . I ve got you . [ Chuckles ]
Ben : Thank you .
Marlena : The church .
Ben : All right .
Ben : I know you re not really here .
Jordan : Oh , I am in your head . I am in your heart . I am in your soul .
Ben : You will leave me alone , or I will--
Jordan : Will what ? Kill me ? [ Laughs ] You know you re hallucinating , right ? That s what crazy people do .
Hope : You really think claire tried to make you sick ?
Ciara : Yes , mom . I really , really do . I think that -- that she put something in my drink or she put something in the queso on my plate . I do nt have any proof of it yet , but I just-- mom , I ca nt spend anymore time with that girl , I canT.
Hope : Calm down . You do nt have to , okay ? You do nt have to .
Ciara : [ Groans ] Oh , my god , look at the time , look at the time . I feel like absolute hell . I need to just start getting ready right now and I do nt even have a maid of honor to help me !
Hope : You have me . Relax . Try to relax . I know it s worst thing you can say to someone , but you have me . Just tell me what you need , okay ?
Ciara : Okay , thank you .
Hope : All right , sweetheart ? Here , I got this from the pharmacy . Pharmacist said that--
Ciara : [ Groans ]
Hope : It might help calm your stomach . Here , just one .
Ciara : Yeah .
Hope : Here you go .
Ciara : Thank you .
Hope : Okay ?
Ciara : [ Groans ] Let s hope that that stays down .
Hope : It will .
Ciara : Okay .
Hope : It ll pass , okay ?
Ciara : Oh , my god .
Hope : It s gon na be a fantastic day .
Ciara : Yeah .
Hope : You re gon na be fine . Do you want to take a shower , maybe ?
Ciara : Yeah , I need to go take a shower now . I have to get ready . I ll start .
Hope : Just take it slowly , okay ?
Ciara : Oh , mom .
Hope : Oh , ciara ! Ciara ? Ciara . God .
Kate : You would ve thought that two years of gutting fish would be enough , but 25 years later , she tries to kill me again .
Jake : You re kidding .
Kate : She shot me . I fell into an empty grave . She buried me alive . I had to dig my way out and walk to the hospital .
Jake : With a bullet still in you ?
Kate : And my son , lucas-- my son , lucas , tries to donate my heart to julie williams--
Jake : All right , okay . I do nt need to hear any more horror stories . The woman was my mother .
Kate : But do nt worry . You re not a bit like her . Actually , why do nt you take this and toast to the fact that she never knew you existed until the day she died . You dodged a bullet , my friend .
Gabi : Is the memorial service over already ?
Jake : Oh , well , was nt really much of a service . Turns out , my mother does nt have very many friends except for the creep , ivan , who technically is on her payroll , so I do nt know if friend is the right word to use .
Ivan : Madame , I m awfully sorry you had to endure such a vicious attack from katerina . I do nt know how you stood it .
Vivian : [ Exhales deeply ] Was nt easy .
Ivan : Uh - huh .
Vivian : Well , I ve learned one thing from this experience , ivan . It s not easy being dead . [ Theresa ] Shingles ? Oh dios mio . So much pain .
Jake : So when I first found out years ago that I was adopted , started having all these fantasies about who my birth parents were .

Gabi : Astronauts ? [ Chuckles ]
Jake : I know , right ? But ... here I am . Son of two murderers , brother of a rapist .
Gabi : Hey , but listen to me . That was in abigail s head . Stefan never laid a hand .
Jake : Sorry , I-- I know how much you loved him .
Gabi : I should ve never let you go to that chapel alone . That kate must ve given you an earful of all those gruesome stories , right ?
Jake : How d you know ?
Gabi : Because I have seen them . I have seen vivian and kate duke it out since I was in high school .

Vivian : Oh , you do nt know how hard it was listening to kate fill my son s head with all those lies .
Ivan : Well , in the interest of fairness , madame , they were--
Vivian : Ah ! Bite your tongue . Ca nt believe I have to abandon him now that I ve found out he s mine .
Ivan : Madame , he s an adult , and these transitory maternal feelings are a side effect of the drug you ingested .

Ivan : Mm - hmm .
Vivian : [ Chuckles ] The paramedics thought I was toast .
Ivan : Well , you were lucky dr . Wu has not gone into retirement .
Vivian : Oh , he has served me so well over the years .
Ivan : My favorite was , madame , when you drugged carly manning .
Vivian : Oh , yes . And buried her alive . That was heaven .
Ivan : Mm .
Vivian : I m so glad you showed up at the police station so you could extricate me from my legal problems .
Ivan : Uh , a word of advice , madame .
Vivian : Hmm ?
Ivan : If you re going to shoot up a wedding , it s best that you do nt choose the mayor s daughter as your target next time .
Vivian : And there will be a next time , ivan .

Marlena : Claire ? [ Stutters ] Do nt go , claire .
Jordan : You heard what dr . Evans said . Those demons of yours are never going to go away . Deep down inside , you are always going to be a necktie killer .
Ben : Hey . Happy wedding day .
Ciara : [ Groans ] Not exactly .
Ben : What s wrong ? Ciara , you sound awful .
Ciara : Yeah . [ Chuckles ] Thanks , um , yeah , it s claire , I , uh-- baby , I think she drugged me last night .
Ben : What ? What -- ciara , you have to get--
Ciara : Get rid of her as my maid of honor ? Yeah , yeah , I already did . I told her to stay the hell away from me .
Ben : Good . Ciara , you did the right thing . I-- I ca nt believe her . [ Stutters ] Is somebody with you ?
Ciara : Yeah , my mom is . She s calling the doctor right now . Baby , I ve been-- I m puking , and I fainted , and I ca nt even sit up right now . I m sorry to tell you this , but , um ... god , I do nt think we can get married today .

Michelle : Yes . Here s hoping we raise lots of money for the Crisis Center tonight .
Harley : Yeah , we will . It s going to be a huge success .
Michelle : I hope so .
Harley : So it s Valentine s Day . Why are we all pretending to have a better time than we actually are ?
Marah : Maybe because it is Valentine s Day .
Michelle : I keep thinking about my dad .
Harley : Why , is Ed okay ?
Michelle : Oh , he s just tired , that s all .
Marah : What s on your mind ?
Harley : Oh , I just ... I bought this great dress , and I m hoping Gus will actually notice , and that the evening s festivities wo nt end with us fighting .
Marah : Why would you guys fight ?
Harley : Oh , it s nothing . It s just some work stuff . Silly . And , you know , we just have nt let loose and had a lot of fun in a long time , that s all . I m going to finish up the flowers so we can all change .
Michelle : So when was the last time you felt normal ?
Marah : I m thinking . Well , hey , at least things are looking up , right ?
Michelle : Yeah . No contact with Carrie , what , for 24 hours now ?
Marah : No emergency phone calls , drop - by visits .
Michelle : No threats .
Marah : So we did the right thing .
Michelle : Right . You know what ? We just have to keep reminding ourselves that she has no power unless we give it to her .
Marah : And that will never happen again . Boy , this leaves an awful lot of time free for romance and reconciliation .
Tony : Reconciliation ? Wow , there s a concept .
Jeffrey : What do you mean , why did I order room service ? Because , Samantha , my lovely Assistant DA , you and I are going to be up most of the night working on the Javits brief , which is going to leave us very hungry sometime between now and dawn . I hope you like shrimp cocktail . What do you mean you made other plans ? Yes , I know what day it is . It s Valentine s Day . Yeah , well , it s not a legal holiday , is it ? Okay . Yeah , I got it . I got ... Okay , okay , okay . Take the night off . Spend it with your boyfriend . You know , have a good time . Yeah , okay , you re welcome , you re welcome . Okay , I ll see you then . Good - bye .
Jeffrey : Yeah , it s open . It s open ! Just leave it . I take it you re not here to deliver the shrimp cocktail .
Sandy : We need to get something straight about Marah .
Jeffrey : Okay , down , Simba , okay ? I ve got no plans to be with your sister tonight or any other night , for that matter .
Sandy : That s cool . Prove once and for all what a colossal jerk you are . Let Marah go .
Gus : Alexandra , it is Gus here . I just wanted to leave a little message for you and tell you that by the time you finally do call or send those files , I ll be tripping the light fantastic with my beautiful fiancée - to - be , because tonight is Valentine s night , as you know . So I do nt know where your files are , and I do nt know why they did nt make it over here , but I wanted to thank you in advance for all of your cooperation .
Dmitri : Excuse me , Mr. Gus ?
Gus : Hey , Dmitri . What are you doing working so late ?
Dmitri : You know . I have files for you .
Gus : Oh , good . Well , put them right here , okay ? Because the sooner I can get through those , the sooner I can wine and dine my fiancée / bride - to - be .
Dmitri : Slash ?
Gus : Yeah . Just put the files right here , thanks .
Dmitri : Okay .
Gus : Cool .
Jeffrey : Let me get this straight . You want me to be with your sister .
Sandy : That s the last thing I want . You re totally wrong for her -- full of yourself , obnoxious . Did I mention full of yourself ?
Jeffrey : Yeah , you did , twice .
Sandy : For some reason known only to Marah , she has a thing for you . And I hate seeing her unhappy .
Jeffrey : You know , there are worse things than being unhappy .
Sandy : Name one .
Jeffrey : Okay . Lonely , miserable , disillusioned .
Sandy : Mm - hmm . That s three .
Jeffrey : I could go on .
Sandy : We all know you re good with words . It s feelings you re lousy at .
Jeffrey : You know what ? You re right . You re absolutely right . I agree completely , and that s why your sister should stay as far away from me as possible .
Sandy : You see ? I know that , you know that , but she wants you . Do you have any idea how lucky you are ?
Jeffrey : You know what ? I do nt feel like sparring with you , kid , okay ? Do I know how lucky I am ? Yeah , I m real lucky , okay ? There s a beautiful young woman who is offering herself to me . But you know what ? I ve got nothing to offer her .
Sandy : Maybe she knows something you do nt .
Jeffrey : Yeah ? Well , maybe she s creating a fantasy that does nt exist .
Sandy : Well , if you care for someone ...
Jeffrey : Then you let them go .
Sandy : I thought that s what you do when you do nt care . Or is it the same for you ? If Marah thinks you re the guy that can make her happy , just do it . You might surprise yourself .
Jeffrey : With happiness ?
Sandy : Whatever . Message delivered .
Tony : Is Danny around ?
Michelle : Oh , you know what ? He stepped out , but he should be back in time for the party .

Tony : For the campaign . He ll understand .
Michelle : Okay .
Tony : Okay ?
Michelle : I m going to go help Harley with the flowers , okay ?

Tony : That s okay .
Marah : You used to love Valentine s Day .
Tony : Yeah , well , you know , that was then . I m sure you ll be partying , though , huh ?
Marah : No . No , it s not really my thing anymore , either .
Tony : How have you been , Marah ?
Marah : Good , I guess . In some ways better than ever .
Tony : That right ?
Marah : Yeah . I ve got my courses and my designs , and Shayne is doing wonderfully .
Tony : That s good .
Marah : And I ve been spending a lot of time with my friends .
Tony : Okay . So do I maybe fit in there anywhere as friends ?
Marah : I do nt know .
Tony : I mean , you know , we ve been everything else .
Marah : Yeah , that s true .
Danny : Thank you .
Ed : Door s open .
Danny : Yeah , I can see that . Are you all right ?
Ed : You do nt see a drink in my hand , do you ? I have nt slit my wrists . So you can go back and tell that to Michelle . I mean , that s why you re here , right ? To check up on me for her ?
Danny : No . Actually , Michelle does nt know I m here . You know what today is , right ?
Ed : Valentine s Day .
Danny : Right .
Ed : Well , gosh darn it , where s my box of chocolates , huh ?
Danny : Sorry . The only Valentine s gift I m interested in right now is for Michelle . But I do need your help with it .
Ed : You re the man who can afford the diamonds and the rubies and the sapphires and stuff .
Danny : Mm - hmm . This is much more important to Michelle than that .
Ed : Well , that s a pretty tall order . What are you going to give her ?
Danny : You .
Gus : ONeill , brother , she got me good .
Jeffrey : What do you mean ? Wait , wait , wait . Do nt say anything . Are you alone ?
Gus : No , I m not alone . I m here with 4,000 files that Alexandra sent over to me .
Jeffrey : Alexandra gave you that much material , huh ?
Gus : Yes , she did . I got everything from reports on aspirin sales in Botswana to test market results in glow - in - the - dark lip gloss to global laxative projections . It s a mess , it s a mess . Guess what I will never find in this pile .
Jeffrey : Info on Antimonious .
Gus : Exactly .
Jeffrey : Well , then hang up and start reading .
Gus : ONeill ...
Jeffrey : Look , I do nt care if it takes all night or if it takes all week . You know , you ve got to put a finger on why those shipments from San Cristobel are coming up short in Kiev .
Gus : Wait a second . Look . I do nt ... What if I never find anything in these files ? What if I am forced to work with that Russian fax that I do nt even trust the translation of ?
Jeffrey : Just get it done , okay ? Khorosho , spasivo .
Gus : But ONeill , I do nt have any contacts . I do nt speak Russian . ONeill ! Yes , sir . Get it done , get it done , get it done . Get a life !
Dmitri : ( Singing in Russian )
Gus : Dmitri !
Dmitri : Yes , Gus ? Mr. Gus ?
Gus : Yes . Do you have plans for tonight , for Valentine s Day ?
Dmitri : Nyet . But I do like that Mitzi in accounting .
Gus : Oh , yeah ? You like her , but you do nt have plans ?
Dmitri : Plans ? No .
Gus : Well , comrade , you do now .
Marah : So how would we do that ? What would we do as friends ?
Tony : Go bowling ?
Marah : Bowling ? Maybe we could start with dinner sometime or something .
Tony : Yeah ? You d cook ? Are you sure ?
Marah : Ha - ha . No , we could let Buzz do the cooking . He likes you now , right ?
Tony : Yeah , I think so . Yeah . That sounds good . I guess just let me know when .
Tony : Excuse me . Where the hell did I put my phone ? Yeah ? All right . I m on my way .
Marah : Business ?
Tony : Yeah , I have the meeting that I was telling Michelle about . Listen , I have to go , but when you re in the mood , just let me know , okay ?
Marah : Tony ?
Tony : Yeah ?
Marah : Thank you for talking .
Tony : Anytime , Marah .
Harley : That looked friendly .
Marah : Mm - hmm . It was . Tony wants to be friends . And the weird thing is it could be okay .
Harley : Oh , good . He can be a date for you for tonight .
Marah : We re in negotiations for a dinner .
Michelle : Yeah , at this point .
Marah : You know what , guys ? I m going to head home and watch Casablanca , get some pizza . No , do nt feel sorry for me . I m ordering double cheese .
Harley : Boy , I thought Gus would be here by now .
Michelle : I m surprised Danny s not back , either .
Gus : Listen to me . The Russian drug rep is on the phone , okay ? He s on hold . I m going to give you the phone , you re going to say , DA , and then you re going to say , Please explain to me where the missing drug shipments of Antimonious are , okay ?
Dmitri : Please , please , Mr. Gus , do nt make me do this .
Gus : Please do this for me . What is the problem ? Listen , you do this for me , I ll give you a big promotion , okay ?
Dmitri : I do nt want promotion . I like it in mail room .
Gus : Okay , well , then you ll stay in the mail room for the rest of your life , okay ? I ll give you a big , fat bonus . Just please do this for me . You can buy Mitzi all the sweaters in the world . Please , okay ? Ready ? Show time . Go , go .
Dmitri : ( Speaking Russian )
Gus : Did you find out something ? What ? What ?
Dmitri : Oh , it was incredible .
Gus : It s incred ... What is it ? What ? Tell me . What ?
Dmitri : She knows my cousin , Boris !
Ed : So did you bring gift wrap , ribbon to match the color of my eyes ?
Danny : Ed , I want this Valentine s Day to be the best ever for Michelle , and that s not going to happen if you do nt show up at our party tonight .
Ed : Then it s not going to happen .
Danny : It s to raise money for the hotline . Are you telling me you do nt ... you do nt want to help her ?
Ed : Of course I want to help . Where s my checkbook ?
Danny : No , Ed , you can make a donation anytime . Michelle does nt want your money . She wants you . She wants her father back .
Ed : Back from where ? What did she tell you ?
Danny : Nothing except that you re going through something , which is pretty obvious , and that you re taking some time off from Cedars .
Ed : That s it ?
Danny : Yeah . I did nt ask her for details . I m not going to ask you for details . I ... You re a big boy . If there s something that you need to tell me , you either will or you wo nt . That s up to you .
Ed : There s nothing that needs to be said , told .
Danny : Okay . Fine , then . But Ed , I am not going to stand around and watch you destroy your relationship with Michelle .
Ed : Danny , please , come on . Just stay out of it .
Danny : Do you remember ...
Ed : There is nothing that you can do .
Danny : Last time I heard that , I hopped a plane to Africa and brought a certain doctor back in time for his son s wedding .
Ed : And why do you tell me that now ? Do you think that I do nt know that I owe you ?
Danny : No , Ed , you do nt owe me anything ! You owe Michelle . You owe her everything . You do . Look , I do nt know what is going on with you , and frankly , I ve got enough stuff to worry about . But you are going to stop hurting Michelle in the process .
Ed : You could always charter a plane and send me back to Africa .
Danny : Well , tempting as that might be , no . You re going to the party tonight .
Ed : You try really hard , Danny . I mean , I watch you , and I see you trying to give Michelle a life that s perfect . And you know something ? I tried to do that , too , years ago , and I just ... I failed . And the thing is , I think that you re going to fail , too . And then what s going to happen with you and Michelle when Michelle suddenly realizes that there is no such thing as a life that s perfect ?
Gus : Great . Your cousin Boris . Dmitri , what did Serge say about the missing inventory on Antimonious ? What did he say ?
Dmitri : It s the trucking .
Gus : It s the trucking .
Dmitri : Yes , the trucking . She stinks .
Gus : Keep going . What ?
Dmitri : Serge say latest shipment ... 1,000 units leave Cristobel . See . Now , it gets to Petersburg and those 1,000 units go from ship to trucks . But when trucks arrive in warehouse in Kiev , only 700 units left . You understand ?
Gus : Yes , yes . 300 units are missing between St. Petersburg and Kiev .
Dmitri : Dah , dah . You see , it s the trucking .
Gus : The trucking , she stinks .
Dmitri : She stinks ! Yes .
Gus : Got it .
Dmitri : Yes .
Gus : Got it . Got it .
Dmitri : I did bad .
Gus : No , no , you did great . You did ... That was ... That s great . And look , you re going to get the bonus , okay ? But there s just one little thing : This is our secret .
Dmitri : Oh , no problem .
Gus : Okay .
Dmitri : I m safe with secrets .
Gus : Good . I m sure you are . Okay . Got to go buy something for Mitzi ...
Dmitri : Oh , that s right .
Gus : ... In accounting .
Dmitri : My next show time .
Gus : Right on . Okay .
Dmitri : Oh , man . Thank you , Mr. Gus .
Gus : Not a problem .
Gus : Long story . Look , I got to make this quick . I got to make this quick . I got to go see Harley . I m late for Valentine s Day . Okay , the 2 - 4 - 8 on the Antimonious , it s the shipping . It stinks .
Jeffrey : Sounds like you re having a little Russian party of your own over there .
Gus : No , look , I m serious . The Russian drug rep said ... Here s the example : 1,000 units get dropped off at St. Petersburg , but only 700 make it to Kiev .
Jeffrey : Yeah , the numbers are about the same for all of the shipments .
Gus : Yes , but not enough to make any bells or alarms go off .
Jeffrey : I do nt know about that .
Gus : Exactly . And also not enough for the accident and breakage reports to mean a thing .
Jeffrey : Since those 300 units never made it to the warehouse to be broken .
Gus : So in other words ...
Jeffrey : The trucking , she stinks . Yeah . Well , you know what ? It s funny how everything just keeps coming back to the trucking , is nt it ?
Gus : Yeah . So look , I got to ... You put that through your machine , you do whatever you ve got to do , okay ? But I got to go see Harley , otherwise I m a dead man .
Harley : No wonder my ears were burning . You were talking about me .
Gus : ( Laughs )
Harley : To who ?
Gus : Yeah . What ?
Jeffrey : All right , so 300 units of Antimonious gets taken off the trucks , multiplied by X number of truckloads for a week , cut with meth which could double or triple the volume yielding a nasty a little designer drug by the name of Delirium . Okay , so 20 bucks a pop , street value ... Oh , my God .
Sandy : But she wants you . Do you have any idea how lucky you are ?
Marah : Can someone get that ? Hello ? Hello ? Nice talking to you , too .
Sandy : You re back .
Marah : God , scare me half to death , why do nt you ?
Sandy : Sorry . The door was open , which it should nt be .
Marah : Yeah , I know . I know .
Sandy : I stopped by a while earlier to put the finishing touches on our surprise for Marina and Shayne . That s when a delivery came .
Marah : What delivery ?
Sandy : You did nt see it ?
Marah : I do nt know what you re talking about .
Sandy : Maybe the pizza box blocked your view . Hang on .
Marah : That s for me ?
Sandy : Yeah . There you go . Pretty nice .
Marah : Oh , my gosh . This ... this has to be a mistake .
Sandy : Well , there s a card here , a Valentine s card with your name on it . Maybe it belongs to the other Marah who lives here .
Marah : Nice try , wise guy .
Sandy : What s it say ?
Marah : This valentine will admit you to the Valentine s Dance at the Country Club , table five . Be mine and be there .
Sandy : Hmm . Who s it from ?
Marah : I do nt know . There s no name on it .
Sandy : Oh , secret admirer .
Marah : Yeah , right . You know what ? This is probably from my dad . He knows that I do nt have a Valentine s Day date . He probably feels sorry for me .
Sandy : Right . Because red roses are the paternal I feel sorry for you flower of choice .
Marah : Who else would it be ?
Sandy : It could be any of a thousand guys who want to be with you tonight .
Marah : Right , a thousand .
Sandy : At least .
Marah : Okay . Name one . Now I still say that these are from my dad .
Sandy : Marah , think . Would Josh ask you to meet him at the party tonight ?
Marah : Yeah , why not ?
Sandy : Well , you guys are nt exactly on stellar terms .
Marah : Yeah , that s going to change . It already has .
Sandy : Okay , well , all I m saying is if he were to ask anybody to meet him tonight , it would be Reva . So , no . These are definitely from a secret admirer .
Marah : Will you stop saying secret admirer ? You know what ? These could be from Tony . I ran into him earlier at the Georgian Room and he was talking about being friends .
Sandy : Well , there s only one way to find out : Go .
Marah : You re right , you re right . I will go . Maybe this will turn out to be a fun surprise .
Jeffrey : Yeah , leave it outside . I ll get it later .
Jeffrey : I said leave it . Leave it out there . Leave the tray out there . It s only shrimp .
Bellboy : Mr. ONeill ?
Jeffrey : You know , it says DO NOT DISTURB , okay ? It does nt say , DISTURB AT WILL . Yeah ?
Bellboy : I apologize , sir . But the messenger said this was urgent .
Jeffrey : Okay , yeah . It better be . Here .
Bellboy : Thank you very much .
Jeffrey : What s this ? This valentine will admit you to the Valentine s dance at the Country Club , table five . Be mine and be there . Beth . What the heck ? It s only dinner .
Ed : I mean , things could fall apart really fast in anyone s life .
Danny : I know . Believe me , I know . If you re talking about me and Michelle , we entered into this new phase in our life with our eyes wide open . She knows exactly who I am , where I came from , the person I used to be . Michelle does nt have any illusions about me .
Ed : Well , maybe you re the one with the illusions .
Danny : What ... what are you talking about ?
Ed : I m talking about the truth . I m talking about reality . You think that you can change who you were . You think that you can rewrite history in someway so that you create a new image for yourself that s politically correct ...
Danny : Hey , wait . This is nt about me .
Ed : And you ca nt do that , Danny . You can not do that . That s what I m saying . You ca nt ... The past is not something that you could seal up in a bottle and pretend it never happened . And you ca nt take your worst mistake , your worst nightmare of a mistake , and turn into something kind of harmless footnote so you could live the rest of your life , you know , free and easy and pretend it ... That kind of redemption does nt exist .
Danny : You do nt believe in redemption ?
Ed : And even if you could convince yourselves that you ve escaped your past , what about Michelle ? Michelle is someone who has always believed that the world is either black or white . You re her hero or her heartbreaker . There is nothing ... there is no in between .
Danny : I think you re being too hard on yourself . Michelle s a lot more forgiving .
Ed : Really ?
Danny : Really . Find out . I know we already gave you one , but in case you lost it . You can either stay here tonight and have a private pity party , or you can come to our party tonight for Michelle . It s for Michelle .
Ed : Danny ?
Danny : Yeah ?
Ed : For your sake I hope that you never have to disappoint her ever again .
Tony : What ? No muscle this time , Bruzi ?
Bruzi : You did nt bring your girlfriend ?
Tony : A little follow - up advice for you .
Bruzi : For this we need a sit - down .
Tony : I believe in the personal touch , which is what this is about . If you re smart , Bruzi , you ll apologize to Danny . Mano a mano . ¿ Comprende ?
Bruzi : It was a misunderstanding , Tony .
Tony : Not ... not ... not the kind of misunderstanding that Danny wants to read about in the papers . You hear me ?
Bruzi : I saw that article , and these reporters are shameless .
Tony : It s damaged Danny s campaign , Bruzi .
Bruzi : That s too bad . I like Danny .
Tony : But you do nt care . And I m telling you right now , I suggest you start caring .
Bruzi : Or ?
Tony : Let s just say or get wise . You hear me ?
Bruzi : If Danny takes action , or you do , that also ends up in the papers , and Danny can kiss his election good - bye . So , I m not worried .
Tony : Do not ... Bruzi do not underestimate Danny like you underestimated me . You hear me ? There s a lot of other ways to take action .
Bruzi : Say I stop by this party of his tonight , pay my respects . Will that make you happy ?
Tony : No , it would nt . It s not a good night for it .
Bruzi : You re making it hard to take advice .
Tony : I tell you what you can do , Bruzi . You can sit outside in your car , outside the party . I ll convince Danny to come and talk to you for a couple of minutes . Is that good enough ?
Bruzi : You d do that for me , Tony ?
Tony : Anything to keep the peace .
Gus : Yeah . No , I was just talking to one of the Spaulding legal guys and said , Hey , man , I m done . I ca nt do no more tonight . I have a hot date for Valentine s Day and her name is Harley Cooper . He does know you .
Harley : One that I was starting to believe you would miss .
Gus : Oh , please . Valentine s Day ? Never .
Harley : Yeah , well , you did nt show up , I was convinced that this whole thing was just going to go to waste .
Gus : ( Laughs ) Now I can honestly say never .
Harley : ( Laughs )
Gus : Never .
Harley : Sweetie ?
Gus : Mm - hmm . Yes ?
Harley : Is there something you want to tell me ?
Gus : What ? What do you mean ?
Harley : Well , I mean , I have to track you down to your office on a night when even Alan Spaulding is nt at Spaulding .
Gus : No . I ve taken this job seriously , honey , you know .
Harley : I know you are .
Gus : Yeah .
Harley : Which is why when I find you in your office on a night like this , I assume there must be goings - on going on .
Gus : Oh , no .
Harley : Are there ?
Gus : Well , honey , why do you ... No . Look actually what I was thinking recently was we ... I ve got to stop , you know . I got to get away from the grind . Like , maybe you and I should take a little vacation , just the two of us . Someplace romantic where there s trade winds and piña colados and nude beaches , you know , any old place . Something tropical and sunny , like San Cristobel .
Harley : Why San Cristobel ?
Gus : Just popped into my head . It s a beautiful place .
Harley : Sweetie , we ca nt just ... I ca nt drop everything and just run off to the tropics .
Gus : Honey , come on . What happened to those crazy kids that were in love , huh ? That used to sleep in convertibles and almost burn down motel rooms , huh ? Remember that ?
Harley : Lucky enough to be in jail . ( Laugh )
Gus : Look it . We need some sunshine . You and me on a nude beach , and a half of a bikini for you . Top or bottom is fine . I m not picky .
Harley : I ll think about it .
Gus : Okay .
Harley : Do you want to get in your tux ?
Gus : Yes , yes . It s in the executive washroom . I ca nt believe sentences like that are coming out of my mouth .
Gus : I ll ... I ll be back .
Harley : I ll wait for you .
Danny : Sorry I m late . Hi .
Michelle : I thought you were going to stand me up .
Danny : Oh , right . Come on . Would that be good politics for me ?
Michelle : No .
Danny : I just need a little extra time to get that extra special gift for you .
Michelle : I told you not to get me anything .
Danny : Yeah , right .
Michelle : ( Laughs )
Danny : Here you go ?
Michelle : Oh , really ?
Danny : Mm - hmm . Really . Open it up .
Michelle : Danny , it s beautiful .
Danny : That s because it belongs to you . Put it on . Happy Valentine s Day , honey .
Michelle : Thank you .
Danny : I love you . It looks great .
Michelle : I love it .
Danny : Good . I love you .
Michelle : I love you , too .
Danny : Actually , there is one more gift that I was hoping to line up for you , but I m not sure if it s going to arrive in time .
Sandy : I ll get it .
Marah : Thank you . So , how do I look ?
Sandy : Horrible . This is a huge mistake .
Marah : Thanks . No , really , thank you for convincing me to come tonight . But I have a question about what you re wearing .
Sandy : Am I planning to go to the locker room where I ve hidden a tux and change into it ? No , I m not staying .
Marah : Why not ?
Sandy : I m going to make sure Shayne and Marina s surprise is ready to go . And then I m heading back to my place with your pizza .
Marah : Always the ulterior motive .
Sandy : Right . Have fun .
Marah : Thank you .
Sandy : Happy Valentine s Day .
Marah : You , too .
Sandy : I ll take care of this . Go . Go get em .
Marah : Right . Hi .
Jeffrey : Hi . It s table five . Happy Valentine s Day .
Marah : Same to you .
Sandy : Next on Guiding Light ...
Marah : Because I know that if we left here right now and went back to your place , it would be just as incredible as the last time .
Blade : Happy Valentine s Day , sweetheart . You and I are going to have a great time tonight .

### Dialogue:
Nikolas : You can stay at Wyndemere for a couple days . You wo nt have to hide that you re sick .
Luke : Laura , my angel .
Carly : What is it ? Oh , my God . Sonny .
Man : Now we can begin negotiations .
Elizabeth : Maybe I should nt be drinking . What if our new baby s already on the way ?
Ric : Our new baby is definitely on its way .
Carly : Ah --
Michael : Mommy ! Are you sick ?
Lucky : I m just telling you watch your back because , I mean , he is on a rampage .
Nikolas : I already had a run - in with Luke earlier today .
Lucky : Now it s worse . When he came by my room earlier , you know , he started yelling and wanting to start a fight . He hit his head , and -- Summer and I , we took him to the hospital . He had a concussion . The doctor told him he had to stay overnight , but he took off .
Nikolas : If Luke s looking for a fight , you know he ll go right to my uncle .
Lucky : He thinks we re all conspiring against him -- you , me , Stefan --
Nikolas : Stef-- my uncle has no idea where we sent Laura .
Lucky : Well , you try telling my dad that .
Nikolas : What are you going to do ?
Lucky : I m going to go try and find him , see if I can calm him down .
Nikolas : All right , well , if he stops by Wyndemere , I ll let you know .
Lucky : Well , if he does , just take it easy , ok , regardless of how much yelling and threatening he does .
Nikolas : I ll try , Lucky , but if he gets violent , I m telling you --
Lucky : Well , with the drugs he s on and the alcohol he s probably had , there s no telling what he could do next , so be careful .
Luke : Laura . Laura , Laura . Oh , Laura .
Summer : I m not Laura . I am Summer .
Luke : No , no . No , no . Summer pretended to be you . She was helping me . We played a game to keep me from killing myself . But you re here now , and that s all over . It s all over .
Summer : Look at my face . Look at my face . I m Summer .
Luke : You can trust me . I made terrible mistakes , but now you can trust me . I ll never let anybody hurt you . Never . I will protect you . You are my wife . I will protect you . I swore to protect you , remember ?
Summer : I remember .
Luke : I love you . I -- I love you so much .
Emily : You re not pushing me anywhere , Mr. Cassadine . What I have with Nikolas is none of your business .
Stefan : Nikolas has always been my main concern . That will never change .
Emily : What if Nikolas does nt appreciate your input ? Are you going to try to intimidate me because you ca nt control him ?
Stefan : Do nt be absurd .
Emily : Oh . Well , that s what this is about , is nt it ? Nikolas wo nt listen to you , so you re trying to -- to bully me into going away .
Stefan : Hmm . Is there something else on your mind besides a romance with Nikolas ?
Emily : No , nothing . I just -- I want you -- I want you to leave us alone .
Stefan : What s wrong with you ?
Man : You look like you ve seen a ghost .
Jason : Who are you ?
Man : Lorenzo Alcazar . Luis was my older brother .
Jason : I never heard about any brother .
Lorenzo : I wanted it that way . Luis was the front man in our partnership . He handled the contracts , negotiated the deals . I was in charge of the more physical elements -- production , delivery . I understand you and your boss , Mr. Corinthos , have a similar division of labor . It can be very efficient . Sadly , my brother ruined himself over his obsession with your ex - wife , Brenda . Kind of a cliché -- brother brought down by his love for a woman . Literally a fatal flaw . So now Luis is gone and I m in charge .
Jason : Where s Sonny ?
Lorenzo : You re not much for conversation --
Jason : I got the photograph . I know you have him .
Lorenzo : I should warn you . My men are in position as we speak , guns aimed at you . You shoot me , both you and your boss die instantly .
Jason : What do you want ?
Lorenzo : To expand my business , of course .
Jason : Drugs .
Lorenzo : Among other ventures . I m prepared to offer you a deal -- my merchandise for your boss .
Ric : To our new baby , somewhere on its way to being born .
Elizabeth : You know , I do nt -- I do nt want to jinx this . We just lost a baby . Maybe we need some time to heal .
Ric : Well , we re never going to forget the child that we lost , but there s nothing wrong with looking forward to something , right ?
Elizabeth : No . No , but , honey , it s not like we exactly planned this last pregnancy . And now we have the luxury of choosing when to do this .
Ric : I m pushing you , right ?
Elizabeth : No . No . I m thrilled that you want a family .
Ric : Well , maybe that s it . I ve always dreamt of a close - knit , loving family . The thought of finally having one is like a dream come true .
Elizabeth : I know what you mean .
Ric : Listen , why do nt we just leave it in fate s hands , see what happens ?
Elizabeth : Good idea .
Ric : I mean , these things have a way of working themselves out .
Elizabeth : Yes , they do . You know what ? I am going to hold off on the champagne because I want to do some sketches for the show at the gallery --
Ric : Far be it for me to stand between you and a potential masterpiece .
Elizabeth : Have I told you how much I love you ?
Ric : Well , you have nt set it to music , but -- I love you , too .
Carly : Ooh . It s ok . It s ok . I m fine . I just -- ooh . The baby just surprised me -- surprises me sometimes when he moves inside of me .
Michael : Did he kick you ?
Carly : He kicked me . I m ok , sweetheart . You go on upstairs , all right ? You try and get some sleep .
Michael : Ok .
Carly : Ok . I ll be up in a minute .
Michael : Ok .
Carly : Ok .
Carly : Oh -- ah --
Michael : Mommy !
Carly : Ow !
Michael : Mommy , are you ok ?
Carly : It s ok .
Michael : Mommy , Mommy
Lorenzo : You return the drugs you stole and I ll let Corinthos go .
Jason : I did nt steal any drugs .
Lorenzo : Do nt insult my intelligence . You and your boss intercepted a shipment of mine and hid it . My men questioned both of you , and you guys lied . So now I ve taken Sonny . It s in everyone s best interest to end this before it escalates any further . Where is my product ?
Jason : I ca nt negotiate without Sonny s approval .
Lorenzo : I imagine he ll approve of you saving his life . I ll contact you in exactly 12 hours . Unless you agree to a trade , your boss dies .
Summer : Look , I know this must be hard for you . The loneliness and the regret -- it must be overwhelming .
Luke : You re not sick . You re not crazy . I knew they were lying , they were holding you against your will , but that s all over now .
Summer : Luke , please listen to me --
Luke : It all ended when you left me , sweetheart . My whole life just -- just ended . And so you ca nt -- you ca nt go away again . You ca nt ever leave me .
Summer : Luke , listen to me . You re not talking to me right now , ok ? You re talking to Laura . She s not here .
Luke : Oh , do nt -- do nt say that , baby . Shh . Do nt say that . You are here . You re just confused . I ll never let those doctors touch you again .
Luke : Lucky , look -- look -- your mother s back . And she s fine . She s fine .
Emily : I m all right . I m all right . I m just -- just a little light-- lightheaded .
Stefan : You had a dizzy spell at the hospital earlier . It was quite effective with Nikolas . He came rushing to your side , full of concern .
Emily : Yes , Nikolas is a very thoughtful person .
Stefan : And you use that to your advantage .
Emily : What does that mean ?
Stefan : If you care about Nikolas , you ll stop manipulating him .
Emily : You know , for someone who claims to love Nikolas , you sure do nt respect him very much . He would know if I was playing him -- not that I ever would .
Stefan : What do you want from him ? It ca nt be money . The Quartermaines dote on you . You must have a comfortable trust fund at your disposable .
Emily : Has it -- has it ever even occurred to you that we might actually care about each other ?
Stefan : Well , there must be a reason for this relationship suddenly blossoming into a romance .
Emily : It s not sudden . We ve been friends for years .
Stefan : Yes , friends . Nothing more . And now , out of the blue , you claim to be in love . Now , what do you have with Nikolas that has caused this abrupt shift ?
Emily : It s called trust and mutual respect -- qualities you obviously know nothing about .
Stefan : Trust and mutual respect notwithstanding , you are an unwanted distraction , and I will not allow Nikolas to waste any more time with you .
Emily : Wo nt allow ?
Stefan : I have to protect this family s future .
Emily : Ok , well , I guess everybody needs a hobby . But there is no way that you re telling me or Nikolas who to be with .
Stefan : I raised Nikolas as a son . He will disagree with me at first , but eventually he will abide by my wishes .
Emily : You are not Nikolas guardian anymore . You do nt control him . Nikolas loves you , but that does not mean that he has any illusions about you . You are obsessed with power and tradition , and Nikolas is nt .
Stefan : You underestimate Nikolas loyalty to family .
Emily : Nikolas is so much more than the Cassadine heir . And if you do nt start appreciating him for who he is , you re going to lose him for good .
Stefan : Do nt threaten me . If anyone is going to lose Nikolas , it s you .
Nikolas : Get away from her .
Michael : Hello ?
Ric : Michael . Hi . Is your mother at home ?
Michael : Mommy fell . I think the baby s sick .
Ric : Is she hurt ?
Michael : I do nt know .
Ric : Ok , I m going to call 911 . I ll get an ambulance over there . All right , stay with your mother . Tell her help is on the way . Do you understand ?
Michael : I understand .
Ric : All right , good boy . Yes , 911 . A pregnant woman has fallen . I think she might be in premature labor . Harbor View Towers , penthouse four . No , no , I m not with her . She s there with a little boy . You need to send an ambulance there right away . Ok , thank you .
Ric : Elizabeth , I have to go out ! I ll be back !
Lorenzo : Mr. Lansing . We meet at last .
Lucky : Ok , Dad , mom s gone .
Luke : No .
Lucky : Dad --
Luke : No , she s right here .
Lucky : She s sick . She s sick , and the doctors , they re taking care of her .
Luke : That s not true . She was never sick . The Cassadines lied . They were just locking her up , trying to keep her away from me . But she escaped . She s too strong for them . Are nt you , sweetheart ? Life is nothing without you . Nothing . Nothing .
Summer : Luke , I wish that I could be Laura for you . I know how much you re hurting . What you and your wife had was so special and so rare . I wish that I could bring it back for you , Luke , but I ca nt .
Luke : No . You ca nt .
Lucky : Dad -- look , it s ok . Just -- just give me the knife , ok ? Dad --
Luke : Get away from me ! You back off .
Lucky : It s ok , it s ok . It s ok .
Nikolas : Apologize to Emily now .
Stefan : Nikolas , for God s sake , what sort of hold does this girl have over you ?
Nikolas : Why are you talking about her as if she s not in the room ? Apologize or pack your bags and go back to Greece .
Stefan : I apologize , Ms. Quartermaine , if there was any misunderstanding . But I will not apologize to you for looking out for your best interests .
Nikolas : How s being rude to my girlfriend in my best interest ?
Stefan : Girlfriend ?
Nikolas : Yeah . You know I m in love with Emily . You heard me tell Zander at the hospital .
Stefan : Oh , Nikolas , open your eyes . Emily is using you to make that other boy jealous . She times her dizzy spell perfectly to have both of you rush to her side .
Nikolas : Congratulations , Uncle . You ve just gone from gratuitously rude to outright insulting . You want to go further ? Because I have no problem with sending you back where you came from and making sure you stay there .
Stefan : Well , you need my help . And if the only way to ensure that is to abide by your wishes , then so be it .
Nikolas : Thank you . And you will never insult Emily again ? Is that clear ?
Stefan : Perfectly .
Emily : I do nt know if I have ever told you this before , but when you decide to be , you are one scary kick - ass prince .
Nikolas : Come here .
Michael : Jason , mommy s sick .
Jason : Has anyone called 911 ?
Leticia : Yeah . The paramedics should be here any minute .
Jason : Buddy , I just want you to wait over there , ok ? I just need a little room . I want to help your mommy . Go ahead , Leticia , take him over there , please . Hey , hey , how you doing ? How you doing ?
Carly : It hurts . It hurts . Michael s so scared .
Jason : No , no , he s going to be ok . You just have to breathe , Carly .
Carly : Where --
Jason : Breathe , just breathe .
Carly : Where s Sonny ? Did you find him ?
Jason : Not yet . Not yet . Just try to relax . Carly --
Carly : Well , where is he ? I thought you said you knew where he was .
Jason : I have -- I have some leads .
Carly : Well , so what does this mean ? Is he ok ?
Jason : He s alive . He is alive , and I know how to get him back . Just focus on the baby , ok ? Just breathe .
Paramedic : Excuse me , Sir .
Jason : Just be careful . She s pregnant .
Paramedic : Ok , when are you due ?
Carly : November .
Paramedic : Ok , what happened ?
Carly : I had cramping and -- and I fell .
Paramedic : Do you have any previous medical injuries or cramp problems -- anything ? I mean , abdominal bleeding or pain or anything ?
Carly : I had abdominal pain , but it was a few months ago and -- ow -- it s been fine ever since . Doctor said it s a normal pregnancy .
Jason : She s been under a lot of stress .
Carly : Oh .
Paramedic : Pulse is 80 . Blood pressure s up to 160/96 .
Second paramedic : Ok , now , I just want you to take it easy . We re going to put you on an I.V. and we re going to put you on the gurney , ok ?
Carly : Ok .
Jason : What happened to her ?
Leticia : It s my day off . I came here to pick something up . I walked in the door and found Carly and Michael on the ground . And I have no idea where the guards are --
Jason : I know , I know . They re taking care of something . How -- how long was Carly on the floor ?
Leticia : I do nt know . Michael did nt tell me .
Michael : Is mommy going to be ok ?
Jason : Yeah , buddy . These guys are going to take her to the doctor . He s going to check her out . Everything s going to be fine .
Michael : I tried to call 911 , but the phone rang . I told the guy on the phone the baby was sick . He said he d send for help , and he did .
Jason : What man ?
Lorenzo : Lorenzo Alcazar . My brother Luis told me all about you . He was always very impressed with your work -- until you tried to cheat him .
Ric : Luis never mentioned a brother .
Lorenzo : Why should he ? You were essentially a glorified accountant . Your business was laundering money , not interested where it came from .
Ric : I hated your brother .
Lorenzo : No doubt .
Ric : So why are you here ?
Lorenzo : I have business pending with your brother .
Ric : Good luck .
Lorenzo : I assume Mr. Corinthos contacted you when the name Alcazar surfaced ?
Ric : Yeah , I told Sonny that as far as I knew , Luis Alcazar worked alone , that he did nt have any partners or relatives . Obviously , I was wrong .
Lorenzo : Well , it s unlikely that Mr. Corinthos and I will ever be able to work together , so he ll have to be eliminated . Once that happens , I ll be in a position to offer you everything he has -- his business , his territory -- everything .
Sonny : Whoa
Lorenzo : You re an intelligent , educated man . Think what you could do with Sonny s power , how rewarding it would be to take over everything that once belonged to him .
Ric : Well , that s a generous offer , but I m afraid I m going to have to decline . See , I have more to live for than just wanting what Sonny has .
Lorenzo : You may not get a second chance .
Ric : As I said , I respectfully decline .
Lorenzo : Suit yourself .
Ric : How much did you hear ?
Elizabeth : Most of it . That was Alcazar s brother ?
Ric : Yeah , apparently so . I always thought Luis had more than he could handle . Apparently , he had a brother that was picking up the slack .
Elizabeth : Hmm . And you were nt tempted to take him up on his offer ?
Ric : Not for a minute .
Elizabeth : You sure ?
Ric : Why would I want Sonny s life , huh ? I mean , look what he s facing right now . His family is nt safe . He could be dead within the year . But my plans with you are going to last a lot longer than that , you know ? We have a lifetime to spend together . I will not risk losing that .
Jason : Did the man on the phone tell you his name ?
Michael : No . He said to stay with mommy , and he said he d call 911 .
Jason : You did the right thing . You did good . You made sure your mom was ok and that she got help . Your dad would be proud . Look , I want you to go upstairs with Leticia now .
Michael : Can I go to the hospital with mommy ?
Leticia : Honey , we ll go visit her later , ok ? Come on .
Jason : Hey .
Carly : Hey .
Jason : Michael s going to be ok .
Carly : What about Sonny ? Is he ok ?
Jason : Yeah .
Carly : Well , what do they want , Jason ? Are they holding him for ransom ?
Jason : Do nt worry . Do nt worry , Carly . I m going to get him back . I m going to get him back .
Lucky : It s ok , it s ok .
Summer : He was looking right at me . He was looking right at me , but all he could see was Laura . You know , I was trying to bring him back to reality , but then , my God , he s just -- he pulled the knife .
Lucky : I know . I m so sorry he scared you .
Summer : He needs help . He needs help . I used to be able to help him . It made me feel good that I used to be able to help him , you know , just to ease that amount of pain .
Lucky : No , he s worse than ever . He may never get better .
Summer : Where do you think he s going ?
Lucky : You know what ? I do nt know . But you know what ? I m just going to go look for him , ok ? So why do nt you just --
Summer : No , I m coming .
Lucky : No , just stay here . I can handle this .
Summer : No , do nt even try to argue . I m coming with you .
Nikolas : Oh . How you feeling ?
Emily : Guilty . It was totally unfair of me to make you pretend that you re falling in love with me .
Nikolas : Oh , you did nt make me do anything . I agreed because I want to help you any way you need .
Emily : Which proves that you re a wonderful friend and I m not .
Nikolas : Since when ?
Emily : You love your uncle and he loves you . He was -- he was the only father you knew growing up , and now he s back and the two of you should be enjoying your time together and not -- not fighting over me .
Nikolas : In all the time that you ve known me , when have I not been fighting with my uncle ? Yes , yes , he loves me , but he uses that as an excuse to do things I hate , treat people badly , and basically try to run my life . He ll never stop . I ll never give in . You know , he and I will just -- just continue to clash with each other . I m just -- I m sorry that he s decided the latest battle has to be over you .
Emily : What if you gave in ?
Nikolas : Is this your way of saying that you want out of our fake romance ? Because you know it s always been your choice . You want to tell Zander the truth , I m all for it . But if you want to keep going the way we are , I ll do that , too . But the one thing I do nt want you to do is give up your plan for my uncle s sake .
Emily : It costs you to fight with Stefan . I mean , you re good at it . You ve got the whole I m the Cassadine prince , obey me or face everlasting exile thing , you know , down cold . I do nt know . I mean , maybe threats are the only language Stefan understands . But I know you hate doing this , and I ca nt stand being the reason .
Nikolas : You re not , Emily . I am . I grew up . My uncle does nt like it . He spent his whole life planning for the day I d inherit , and now that I have , he wishes I was a little boy again . You see , he wants the power for himself , but I refuse to give it to him . It s that simple . So , please , please do nt take my family insanity out on yourself .
Emily : All right , ok . No problem . I ve got enough family insanity of my own . But , listen , will you promise me one thing ?
Nikolas : Of course .
Emily : If this pretending to fall in love with me thing ever , ever becomes a problem for you , you will tell me you want out .
Nikolas : All right . But it wo nt happen .
Emily : You re even more stubborn than I am .
Nikolas : I ll take that as a compliment . So , I see you decided to take me up on my offer to stay here ?
Emily : Yeah , if it s still ok .
Nikolas : Of course . What changed your mind ?
Emily : Oh . The downside to riding in a convertible with the top down is that your hair gets all tangled , and I was combing mine out . And I do nt know if I m being paranoid , Nikolas , but I felt like -- I felt like it was shedding .
Nikolas : No , no .
Emily : And I know it s vain and shallow of me , but I ca nt stand the thought of losing my hair .
Nikolas : Emily , it has nt started yet . Ok ? You look beautiful .
Emily : For how much longer , Nikolas ? I mean , I m only going to get weaker and sicker until I ca nt hide it anymore .
Nikolas : You ll get through it .
Emily : You do nt know that . No one does .
Nikolas : Hey -- is there something else ?
Emily : Yeah . Today s the anniversary of -- of my mother s death . She would always , always think of me first , no matter how sick she got or how much pain she was in . And I just remember thinking that -- oh , I mean , I could -- I could never , ever be as -- as brave or as strong as she was .
Nikolas : You are . You are .
Emily : No , Nikolas , no . I am terrified all the time . People used to tell me that I was just like my mother , you know ? Like my laugh and my expressions and the way I walked , and now I m wondering , you know , what if it s true ? What if I m like my mother until the day I die ?
Nikolas : No . You re going to get through this . Ok ? And the chemo will be hard , and you ll probably feel like hell , but you ll survive . And -- and you ll get better and live to a ripe old age .
Emily : Because you say so ?
Nikolas : That s right . I m a prince and I m spoiled rotten , and I pretty much get whatever I want whenever I want it .
Nikolas : Hey . I want to know you when I m 73 .
Emily : I believe you .
Nikolas : Good . Tired ?
Emily : Oh , yeah . Exhausted .
Nikolas : Ok . Let s go get you settled upstairs .
Emily : Ok .
Cameron : You sounded even more erratic than usual on the phone . Why did nt you stay in the hospital ?
Luke : Hospital ? Oh . How d you know I was there ?
Cameron : I have an office there , remember ? They brought you in for a head injury , and then you bolted -- not that that surprises me .
Luke : Oh . I had business to take care of .
Cameron : You were also on medication , and you ve obviously been drinking . Going to offer me one ? Did your doctor mention that that can put you in a coma ?
Luke : What s life without risk ?
Cameron : Oh . So we re back to that death wish garbage , huh ?
Luke : Death wish ? Oh , my God , yeah . You re talking about our little picnic on the hospital ledge ?
Cameron : Yeah , should have left you there .
Luke : Probably . You know , Dr. Quack , you and I are a lot alike .
Cameron : Had nt noticed .
Luke : No , we are . We -- we are . Sometimes you and I understand that you got to go against the grain . You got to swim against the lemmings . Yeah . You and I understand that sometimes you just have to break the rules .
Cameron : You want to spare me the male - bonding moment and tell me what you really want ?
Luke : I need help .
Cameron : Will it cost me my medical license ?
Luke : No , it s just a little phone call , just a simple phone call .
Cameron : Go on .
Luke : Nikolas and Lucky moved Laura from the upstate facility . They wo nt tell me where she is . So I need to find out . Do you know anything about this ?
Cameron : First I ve heard .
Luke : The one pulling the strings is Nikolas uncle Stefan . If you do nt know him , just picture dracula crossed with a rodent . Anyway , he s convinced Nikolas and Lucky that I am a danger to my wife . So , make a call . Find out where she is . Help me -- help me find my wife .
Cameron : No .
Jason : So everything looks good ?
Doctor : The sonogram was normal . No damage was done .
Carly : I feel really silly being rolled around in this wheelchair . I feel fine .
Jason : You just need to take it easy and relax , ok ?
Doctor : I d like to keep you here for observation for the next 24 hours . And when you get home , you need to slow down . Less stress , more relaxation .
Carly : Yeah . That s easier said than done .
Jason : She s going to take it easy .
Doctor : I ll go check on your room .
Jason : Thanks . You going to be ok by yourself ?
Carly : No , because I wo nt be ok until I know that Sonny is safe .
Jason : I know , Carly , but you just have to relax .
Carly : How can I when Sonny s being held as a prisoner right now as we speak ? They could be hurting him . They could be doing worse --
Jason : No , they re not . They re not .
Carly : Yeah ? How do you know ?
Jason : Because I know . And you know the best thing you can do for Sonny is take care of yourself and this baby . I will bring him back .
Carly : Do you promise me ?
Jason : I swear . It s ok . Can I use this phone real quick ?
Jason : Marco . Look , I need a van and four men . Tell them to meet me at the warehouse . Ok .
Scott : Whoa -- you re under arrest .
Jason : What charges ?
Scott : Well , we found 50 kilos of cocaine on Pier 27 , which is owned by you and Corinthos . Since he s not around , you re going to take the fall .
Luke : They got to you , did nt they ? Was there a payoff ? Nikolas and Lucky bribed the doctors at the hospital , and then they moved her for -- for some reason to somewhere that -- I mean , God knows where they moved her .
Cameron : So what s your plan ? Go raging up to Laura half out of your mind on drugs and alcohol ? You really think that s going to help her ?
Luke : I did not destroy her life !
Cameron : No one did , Luke . She s ill .
Luke : No . She needs me and they wo nt tell me where she is . She -- I could -- I could have helped . She asked for me and nobody told me !
Cameron : That was in the past , Luke . This is now . I think Lucky and Nikolas moved Laura to protect her . And I think they were right .
Luke : You think -- nothing -- no . She s helpless . She needs me to protect her .
Cameron : Luke , you re out of control .
Luke : No , I m in complete control ! Now you tell me -- you tell me where my wife is .
Nikolas : Anything else you need ?
Emily : Could -- could you stay with me a while ? I just -- I do nt want to be alone .
Nikolas : Of course . Oh . Ok , come here .
Stefan : Yes , I want you to follow Emily Quartermaine . Report back to me on her activities , especially when she s with my nephew . That s right .
Woman : Nice place . A little gloomy , though , so make sure my room gets some morning light .
Stefan : Lydia .
Lydia : So where s Nikolas , the man I m going to marry ?
Scott : You know what my problem is ? I m just too nice a guy . Here I was , congratulating you and Corinthos for cleaning up the drug trade in Port Charles . But all along , you were just clearing the docks so that you two could move in .
Jason : You know Sonny does nt deal in drugs .
Scott : Well , I got a big bag of cocaine that says otherwise .
Jason : We were set up .
Scott : Set up ? By who ? Information is a two - way street here .
Jason : If you give me the drugs for 48 hours , I ll bring them back and I ll tell you who set him up .
Scott : That s not going to happen .
Jason : I ll sign anything you want .
Scott : Why are you so cooperative ? Does this have something to do with Sonny s disappearance ? Uh - oh . There s that dummy act again . Get him on ice .
Reporter : Mr. Morgan , is it true you re being arrested for drug possession ?
Second reporter : The district attorney has evidence that Sonny Corinthos is drug trafficking . Can you comment ?
First reporter : How do you explain 50 kilos of cocaine found on Pier 27 ?
Carly : Sonny .
Nikolas : I almost wish that you and I were in love for the sake of torturing my uncle .
Stefan : You will meet Nikolas when I decide he s ready .
Jason : You need to get to Carly right away .
Carly : What do you want , Ric ?
Ric : Tell me the baby s ok .
Lucky : Drop the knife .
Luke : Shut up !

Thomas : Hello , Mother .
Taylor : It s as true now as it was in my day .
Thomas : What s that ?
Taylor : All work and no play makes ...
Thomas : Thomas next in line for the Forrester presidency .
Taylor : I thought that was all settled .
Thomas : Things are always changing , around here , especially . Why are nt you out on a date ?
Taylor : Uh , well , I , uh , had to stop by at Bill s office to give him a little , um , information .
Thomas : Mom , I do nt have to remind you , do I ? The guy s married .
Taylor : That was nt what I was , uh , sharing with him . I was sharing something different . We re going to be grandparents . Your sister is pregnant .
Thomas : [ Sighs ]
Steffy : Okay , um , we re in big trouble . Your kitchen is totally bare . All you have are these .
Liam : Oh ! Geez .
Steffy : And this .
Liam : Hey ! No , no , no , no .
Steffy : And this . Hey , if we have a boy , you guys are going to be playing a lot of catch together .
Liam : Girls play catch .
Steffy : You re telling me , the world s biggest tomboy .
Liam : Yeah , well , you re not a tomboy anymore .
Steffy : What am I ?
Liam : Now you re a mother - to - be . A super sexy --
Liam : What was that ?
Steffy : I do nt know .
Liam : Oh .
Steffy : Oh , my God !
Liam : [ Laughs ]
Steffy : So much for Mexican omelets .
Liam : Oh ! Dude !
Steffy : You like it .
Liam : I do not like any such thing .
Steffy : [ Laughs ]
Bill : I know what you were hoping for your daughter . And I m sorry it s not going to happen .
Brooke : Your son has never forgotten how extraordinary Hope is . He s always been torn . Even when he was with Steffy . That s why he asked her to move out . He was ready to commit to Hope today . She is and always will be in his heart , baby or no baby .
Eric : Eric , I had to leave for my knitting class . Dinner s in the warming oven . I ll call tomorrow . Pam .
Thomas : Seriously ? My little sister s pregnant ?
Taylor : Obviously , it was nt planned , but she s very excited about it , and so am I.
Thomas : Wow . Okay .
Taylor : And they re already starting their life at the beach house . They re going to raise the baby together . It s what Liam wants .
Thomas : [ Chuckles ]
Steffy : Hey . I ve missed wearing this shirt .
Liam : [ Chuckles ] They do nt make this in a maternity size , do they ? You re glowing .
Steffy : [ Chuckles ]
Liam : That s what pregnant women do , right ?
Steffy : Yeah , they also crave ice cream and pickles and balloon out to here .
Liam : You re getting cravings already ?
Steffy : Oh , just wait till the pizza I ordered gets here . I m talking anchovies and artichokes . If that does nt give you second thoughts about keeping me around during this pregnancy , then I ...
Liam : No second thoughts .
Steffy : Okay .
Liam : I want you , and I want this baby , and I want everything that comes along with it . Well , you were nt kidding about the anchovies .
Steffy : Fine . Next time , I will order tofu .
Liam : Mmm ! Takeout tofu . Who knew ?
Steffy : Our baby will . I m eating healthy from now on .
Liam : [ Laughs ] Okay . Well , I will , too . Cause we re in this together , Kid .
Steffy : I know it s a lot to digest . No pun intended .
Liam : I just want to be a good dad .
Steffy : And you will be . Plus you re giving up burgers and fries .
Liam : I am ? Yeah . No , I am . Yeah , cause I m eating healthy for the kid .
Steffy : You know , this kid s going to need a name . I ve had a little time to think about it , so if it s a boy , we could do another Will .
Liam : Uh - huh .
Steffy : No . [ Laughs ]
Taylor : Here you go , Sweetie .
Thomas : I could use something a little stronger -- everything you just told me .
Taylor : Uh ... well , there s more .
Thomas : Something tells me we are not talking about the baby anymore .
Thomas : What s going on ?
Taylor : Hold on . I was just thinking of you .
Eric : I was just thinking about you , too . Are you all right ?
Taylor : You heard .
Eric : Madison told me about the elopement and tipping off Steffy . Was Steffy able to get there in time ?
Taylor : Yes , she did , thank God . Things are finally working out for my daughter .
Eric : I want to hear all about it . Come over . Have dinner with me , just the two of us .
Taylor : That sounds wonderful . I ll see you soon .
Thomas : I know what s going on with you now . You have someone special in your life . A man .
Taylor : Yes .
Thomas : Was that him ? Who is it ? Do I know him ?
Taylor : Yes , you do . You know him quite well .
Bill : They say a baby changes everything .
Brooke : But not how Liam feels about my daughter . Otherwise , he would nt have stood there in front of Father Fontana and --
Bill : And what , Brooke ? Committed to Hope the way you need to believe he would have ? You sprang this whole elopement thing on Liam and you daughter , from what I understand . Now ... I know your intentions were good . But what if Steffy did nt show up ? You really believe that Liam would have gone through with it ? Yes , he loves Hope . But he also loves Steffy . And now there s a baby . So everything that s gone on with Liam , Steffy , Hope ... all the things I did that I m not proud of -- every bit of it , all of it is trumped by the baby .
Brooke : A few more minutes , and Hope and Liam would have been married . I know he wo nt admit that now , but -- but if you ask him --
Bill : Brooke .
Brooke : Yes . Please ask him if he was going to slip that ring on my daughter s finger and commit to her for the rest of his life . I mean , you may not need to know , but I certainly do .
Bill : Brooke ... I would do anything for you . But now there s a family and a baby . Liam has made his decision . And it s not gon na serve anyone to open that up . Including you . Especially you .
Liam : You know , we ve got a few months before we have to choose a name .
Steffy : Your dad will probably push something macho , like ... Rambo Spencer .
Liam : [ Chuckles ] Rambo . What if it s a girl ?
Steffy : Well , I can think of one name that I would nt want . Look , I know you re thinking about her right now . And wondering how she s feeling . We ve all been through a lot . And maybe one day we will all be able to get along . But it s been the three of us for so long . And now it s the three of us -- you , me , little Rambo or ... little Isis .
Liam : Isis ?
Steffy : Yeah . Nobody s gon na mess with a girl named Isis . She ll be fearless and a total original .
Liam : Just like her mom .
Bill : Listen to me . I know you do nt see it this way , but what s happened with this baby -- it s not just a new beginning for Liam and for Steffy . It s a new beginning for Hope as well .
Brooke : Unfortunately , that new beginning is not at all what my daughter thought her life would turn out to be .
Bill : I know . Well , she is strong and resilient , and she will bounce back . And as for my new grandbaby ... this could make me the youngest grandpa on record .
Brooke : [ Laughs ] The youngest grandpa who s still a stallion , anyway .
Bill : [ Chuckles ] You have to find fulfillment again , Brooke , at what you do best . Forrester Creations . As a minority owner , I am telling you to go to Eric and talk to him about running that company together ... as co - C.E.O.s
Eric : Well , it looks absolutely beautiful . I appreciate you doing this on such short notice . Thank you both very much . And thank Ernesto for me , will you ? Thanks . Good night .
Taylor : You know , it was nt something that I expected to happen . Neither did Eric . It just did . We ve been going through similar things , and we ve both been very alone .
Thomas : And now you re not . Mom , you do nt have to explain anything to me . I m happy for you . For both of you .
Taylor : So does that mean we have your blessing ?
Thomas : It means that I have designed the perfect dress for you to wear tonight . I ll be back . You definitely do nt want to keep your date waiting .
Brooke : I think you re forgetting Eric chose Rick to run the company with him .
Bill : You would nt be pushing Rick aside . He ll remain president . But instead of Eric being sole C.E.O. --
Brooke : A position Rick hopes to assume one day .
Bill : His time will come . Right now , you need this more .
Brooke : Because I have nothing else going in my life .
Bill : Because you ve always found fulfillment in your work , and this time wo nt be any different .
Brooke : I m different .
Bill : No , you re not . You are the same smart , sexy bombshell who created belief and Brooke s Bedroom . You brought Forrester Creations national and international notoriety , not to mention soaring profits . That company was never stronger than when you were front and center .
Brooke : I m flattered .
Bill : It s got nothing to do with flattery . I tell it like it is , and you know that . You go to Eric tonight . He s sitting alone in that big house . You go see him . You tell him you want back in the game as co - C.E.O. He s always been loyal to you , Brooke . There s nothing that he would want more than to have you by his side . I m sure of it .
Taylor : I m so happy you called .
Eric : I m happy you came . Well , I m so glad everything worked out for Steffy .
Taylor : Oh , she s so excited . We both are .
Eric : I want to hear all about it . But first ... this dress .
Taylor : Do you recognize it ? It s a Thomas Forrester original . He insisted I wear it .
Eric : You told him .
Taylor : About us ? Yes .
Eric : It s my guess that he did nt see this coming .
Taylor : You and I did nt see this coming .
Eric : Well , I m a little out of practice planning these impromptu romantic dinners . Thank God for Ernesto .
Taylor : What a lovely way to end this day . Everything just seems so perfect . And I know that this is going to be a wonderful evening for Steffy .
Eric : I hope this is gon na be a wonderful evening for her mother , as well .
Steffy : What you doing ?
Liam : [ Sighs ] I m looking at these baby web sites . Do you know it s possible for a father - to - be to experience pregnancy symptoms ?
Steffy : Seriously ?
Liam : Yeah . Like , we re talking everything from morning sickness to weight gain to whatever . It s called ...
Steffy : Sympathetic pregnancy .
Liam : Yeah . Gon na be a fun nine months .
Steffy : Well , it s a little bit less than nine months . But , you know , who s counting ?
Liam : I m sorry you had to go through so much of it alone .
Steffy : Hey , things work out the way they were meant to . And that s what I kept telling myself . I did nt know what the future held for my child and me , but ... now I do . I know what the future is going to be . It s gon na be us three as a family . I love you ... and our baby ... so much . Trust in me I m gon na shake your world change the way you look at things change the way you feel believe me I m gon na make you see that everything is different now that you re with me I m gon na make you tremble and then I m gon na watch you fall right before you hit the ground I ll catch you like it s nothing at all I m gon na keep you safe here let yourself dissolve if you re ever feeling scared , I will always be right there holding you when you tremble

Olivia : Oh , Bill . Help me . Help me .
Bill : Ca nt do it , baby . You re nuts . I ve got to distance myself . Get a divorce . It looks like you re going to be deported after all . Bye - bye .

Reva : Okay . Are they straight ?
Tammy : They look okay to me .
Reva : Tammy . Sweetie . Oh , honey . Are you sure ? You know , because they have to be perfect . Because Marah and Shayne are coming home .
Tammy : They re coming home ? Cool .
Reva : Do nt sound so excited .
Tammy : Do they know about me and JB ?
Reva : Oh , honey , no , no . That s up to you tell them or not tell them . Whatever you choose to do .
Tammy : Is JB Here ? Because I want to try on that dress for Mom s wedding . But if he s here ...
Reva : He ll be back later . I would nt do that to you .
Tammy : Where s the dress ?
Reva : It s in the living room . Go on in . Holler if you need my help .
Tammy : Okay .
Danny : You can call me anytime day or night at this number .
Marina : Whenever you get the message ...
Danny : Okay .
Marina : ... Give me a call , okay .
Danny : Thanks a lot .
Marina : Thanks .
Danny : That was a contact I used before to get a hold of Ed , but I m not holding my breath .
Marina : I just called Rick and Mel . Maybe they ve heard something .
Danny : Yeah . Listen , Marina , I mean , I really appreciate what you re doing , but you do nt have to help me track down Michelle . It s my problem .
Marina : Everyone s got problems . I mean , look around . Elizabeth and Company is nt exactly turning away customers .
Danny : Yeah .
Marina : So everyone needs a hobby .
Sebastian : Michelle , are we ready ?
Michelle : Yeah , I was up all night , but I ve prepared a treatment for you .
Sebastian : What is it ?
Michelle : It s the best I can come up with it based on what I remember of my father s research . It s not a cure , but , you know , is should help you .
Sebastian : ( Moaning ) Okay .
Michelle : Once this enters your blood , you re going to feel a whole lot better .
Sebastian : What s in the syringe , huh ? You do nt think I know what you re doing , Michelle ? You re trying to kill me .
Sebastian : Take this . What else are you hiding from me , huh , Michelle ?
Tony : Take your hands off her , man .
Sebastian : Huh ? Let s see . Huh ? What s this ? Oh . Oh , look it s your gold coin . Your precious gold coin that your mother left to you .
Michelle : Give it back to me .
Sebastian : No , I think I ll hold on to it .
Holly : That s it . That s enough .
Sebastian : Let me guess , Holly . You in on this , too ? Huh ?
Michelle : The shot was going to help you , Sebastian . I swear .
Sebastian : ( Laughs sarcastically )
Holly : Put her back in here . And let me talk to you .
Michelle : All right .
Holly : What can I say to convince you she had no intention of hurting you ?
Sebastian : Nothing . She ca nt be trusted .
Holly : You are afraid of dying and you are taking it out on the one person who could possibly help you . What sense does that make ?
Sebastian : Who am I suppose to take it out on ?
Holly : Me .
Danny : Thanks . Hey , you d tell me if you thought I was being stupid , right ? Would nt you ?
Marina : Yes . Why ? Are you ?
Danny : ( Laughs ) I do nt know . I do nt know what I m doing . I m calling all over the world , because of one phone call I got from Michelle .
Marina : A very weird phone call .
Danny : Right . She was nt even trying to call me . She was trying to reach her father .
Marina : A guy she does nt remember and a place you just do nt reach by a phone . Look I d be more than happy to talk you out of this if I thought you were just pining or something .
Danny : You do nt think that s what I m doing ?
Marina : Not unless you re good at hiding it .
Danny : No . I just ... I want to make sure she s okay .
Marina : You do nt have to explain anything , Danny . If you re gut is telling you something is wrong , then you should get some answers .
Danny : Yeah . Maybe I ll call Rick again .
Marina : Well , my gut tells me if I do nt get Alan and Alexandra more coffee , her niece -- my boss -- wont make me employee of the month . And we just ca nt have that , can we ?
Danny : No , we ca nt .
Marina : Sorry , Alan , did I spill some coffee in your lap ? So sorry .
Alan : The police have nt located Ruth Karloff s next of kin .
Alexandra : Who the devil was that woman , Alan ? And why did Phillip hire her in the first place ?
Alan : I have no idea . Marina , will you give me the check , please ?
Marina : You do nt like Lizzie s new additions to the menu ? And here I thought everyone just was loving what she does to the place .
Alexandra : Well , Lizzie will get her footing . And when she does , I m sure the place will be busier than ever .
Marina : If we stay in business . So , Ruth Karloff was the murderer after all , huh ? Are you disappointed ? I mean I bet you really wanted it to be my grandfather .
Alexandra : Oh , come on . You know that s not true .
Marina : I was nt talking to you , Alex . I was talking to him .
Alan : I only want justice .
Marina : You know , I think it s horrible that your son is dead . I mean he had children , people who loved him even though he became what he became . You know why he was like that ? Because he held grudges , and because he thought he was better than everyone else . Thinking like that just catches up with you in the end , I guess .
Alan : Get my check .
Marina : What ?
Danny : Nothing . Just remind me to never get on your bad side .
Alexandra : You know , Alan , she s not wrong . They found the killer . The killer s confessed . She s paid for his life with her life . We really need to move on , Alan .
Alan : Alexandra , from where I stand there s still about a dozen other people responsible for the suffering Phillip went through . And they will all be punished in time .
Nurse McGuire : Dr. Bauer , everything okay ?
Rick : Yeah , everything s fine . I was just thinking about a friend of mine . What s her story ?
Nurse McGuire : She was admitted last night . She s delusional . Possibly schizophrenic . We re running test . I m about to give her another sedative .
Rick : Okay , well , it sounds like you have everything under control . Oh , goodness , I got to get going . Listen . Here are the files for Dr. Bairds . If he needs a consult , have him call me .
Nurse McGuire : Yes , doctor .
Rick : Thank you .
Nurse McGuire : The doctor hoped that sedative would do wonders . But I m thinking you need more than a night of sleep .
Olivia : More ? Like what ?
Nurse McGuire : The doctors here can work miracles . Change your whole personality . You know , I m thinking electroconvulsive therapy might do the trick for you . It certainly worked for your ex - husband .
Bill : Hey , Reva . Is Jonathan inside ?
Reva : Bill . Hey ? Is something wrong ?
Bill : Well , no . Well , Olivia did nt come home last night , and I do nt know where she is . I thought maybe Jonathan would know .
Reva : Oh , well , no offense , but maybe she just left .
Bill : Okay , Reva , can we not just do this , please . Not now .
Reva : Well , what about Emma ?
Bill : I do nt know . I m just assuming she s with Olivia .
Reva : Oh , wow .
Bill : What ?
Reva : I mean has the thought crossed your mind that maybe Olivia just split ?
Bill : Okay , no it has nt . All right . So just tell Jonathan to call me when he gets home , okay ? Thanks .
Reva : Bill ?
Bill : I do nt have time for this , okay .
Jonathan : You need help with that ? I aim to please .
Tammy : What are you doing here ? Aunt Reva said you were out .
Jonathan : I m back . And I m good with zippers .
Tammy : How long have you been here ? Did you watch me undress ?
Jonathan : You wearing that to your Mom s wedding ?
Tammy : No , I m going bowling in it .
Jonathan : You ca nt wear that dress to the wedding .
Tammy : What ?
Jonathan : Nobody will notice Cassie . Everybody will be too busy looking at you . Do you need someone to go with you to the wedding ? Like an escort ?
Tammy : You ? You re not invited .
Jonathan : Well , I would be if I was your guest .
Tammy : My Mom does nt want you there . And in case , you have nt noticed ? No one does .
Jonathan : Including you ?
Tammy : Why do you want to be someplace you re not wanted ?
Jonathan : Two reasons . First , it s the holiday season . Time for peace and love and new beginnings .
Tammy : You blew your chance for that .
Jonathan : It s happening with Reva and me . She s giving me a second chance . Maybe it could happen with us , too .
Tammy : If you could ever even for a second admit that what you did to me was totally disgusting and wrong .
Jonathan : Oh , come on , Tammy . If you just want to get rid of all these negative feelings , would nt it be such a relief to just call it a truce ? And just let it all go ? What do you say , huh ?
Reva : Good . Hey . You know , this porch is getting to be like grand central station . What you got there ?
Sandy : Your Christmas present .
Reva : Oh , Sandy . Why did you do that ? I have nt even gotten your gift yet .
Sandy : Hey . Hey . It s okay . I do nt expect anything .
Reva : Too late . I already know exactly what I m getting you and everything .
Jonathan : So what do you say ? You think we could ... you could try not hating me quite so much ?
Tammy : You said there were two reasons you wanted to go to the wedding . What s the other one ?
Jonathan : What do you think it is ? It s you .
Danny : So I made some phone calls this morning trying to locate your father .
Rick : Yeah , I emailed him again and I have nt heard any word .
Danny : I mean , do you think I m making too much out of Michelle s phone call ?
Rick : No , it does nt make any sense . Why would she call my father ? And how would she get a hold of you ?
Danny : I do nt know . You have any theories ?
Rick : No . Do you know this Sebastian Hulce by any chance ?
Danny : Blake s brother . Yeah . Why ?
Rick : Did you know that he got admitted to Cedars ?
Danny : Uh - uh .
Rick : Anyway , very strange guy . He started asking me all these questions about my sister and her memory loss and he worked his way around to my father .
Danny : He came to the lighthouse too asking questions about Michelle and Ed . And asking if I knew where Ed was .
Rick : Well , why would he want to know where my father is ? Why ?
Danny : I really think maybe it has something to do with his father , Roger Thorpe .
Rick : Well , if it does , that s nothing but bad news . Listen , I really got to go . I ll call you if I hear anything , okay .
Danny : Yeah .
Tony : Are you all right ? Did he hurt you ?
Michelle : No , but he wanted to . He s really losing it , Tony .
Tony : I know . I m getting the feeling that he was a little nuts before this .
Michelle : I was trying to stabilize him , you know , calm him down a bit . Just in case Danny ...
Tony : It s okay . Hey , it s all right . You can say it . It s okay .
Michelle : Well , maybe my phone call worked , you know . Maybe Danny understood that I was signaling him that we re in trouble .
Tony : Maybe . Maybe he does .
Michelle : Yeah , maybe . Maybe he s so angry he does nt care .
Tony : Hey . No , he cares . Okay , he cares . If he figures this all out , it s going to be impossible for him to find us .
Michelle : I know .
Tony : That s why I need to go . Okay , I can get to Ed , and Sebastian would know that if he was thinking straight , you know . He would know that .
Michelle : Does that look like a man who s thinking straight ?
Tony : No , he is not .
Sebastian : Send someone for Ed Bauer ? Then they bring back to police . But if I do nt , then there s no help . There s no hope . I m dead . Dead . Dead . Dead . I do nt know what to do . I do nt know who to trust . I do nt know ... I ca nt live with them . I ca nt live without them .
Holly : Come on . Listen . Listen to me . You re not going to hurt these people . We re trying to help you . I came back for you . I could have left you here to die , but I came back for you , because I care about you .
Sebastian : Yes . Yeah , you did . Did nt you ? No one ... no one has ever done nothing in my life before .
Holly : No ?
Sebastian : No . But why did you come back ? Why did you come back ? To watch me die ?
Holly : Whatever .. whatever you need .
Sebastian : I have something for you . Something to remember me when I m gone .
Michelle : Sebastian s getting weaker and weaker , right ?
Tony : Yeah . So ?
Michelle : So he s going to make it a lot easier for of us to inject him with this .
Tony : What is it ?
Michelle : This is something that s not going to help Sebastian . This is something that s going to help us escape .
Jonathan : When I was in bed with you , Reva was the last thing I was thinking about .
Tammy : Do nt . Do nt touch me .
Alexandra : Alan , what was ..
Emma : ( Babbling )
Alexandra : I know .
Emma : Yeah .
Alexandra : ( Laughs ) You and Emma and Phillip s other children are all we have left .
Emma : ( Babbling )
Alexandra : Yeah . So in order to honor his memory the best way I think we should focus on the future , their future , Alan . Because I know in my heart that s what Phillip would want , okay .
Alan : Phillip would also want the people who wronged him before he died to be punished . Case in point .
Bill : Hey , little Emma . What are you doing with Emma ?
Alan : Well , we just had breakfast . As matter of fact , Emma just finished hers .
Bill : You know what I mean , Alan . Olivia s missing , and you re here with her daughter .
Alexandra : You mean , you have nt heard from Olivia either ?
Bill : Just tell me , what are you doing with Emma ?
Alan : The daycare center called me last night right before they closed and said that Emma had not been picked up by her mother .
Bill : That s bologna . That is bologna . Because they re suppose to call me . I m Olivia s husband .
Alan : I am Emma s grandfather and I went and picked her and brought her home where she s safe .
Bill : Then why would nt you call me ?
Alan : Call you ?
Bill : Yeah , that s right . Call me . If Olivia did nt show up , maybe she got in accident . Would nt you be worried about her ?
Alan : What are you trying to tell me ?
Bill : Just tell me where Olivia is . This has your smarmy fingerprints all over it .
Emma : ( Babbling )
Olivia : No , you ca nt give me shock therapy .
Nurse McGuire : We can do whatever we deem necessary , Mrs. Lewis . You admitted yourself into our care .
Olivia : I did no such thing .
Nurse McGuire : I have the paperwork .
Olivia : I did not sign myself ... in here . Did I ? Maybe I did . That sedative you gave me was so strong . There is something wrong with me . I m so hot . My head is so hot . I ve got a fever . Just feel my head .
Nurse McGuire : Help !
Olivia : You re going to pump me full of drugs and shock me . You re out of your mind .
Nurse McGuire : You are not well , Mrs. Lewis . Hold her down while I medicate her . Open up .
Olivia : Dream on .
Nurse McGuire : It s either this or an injection . Your choice . Fine . I ll get a syringe .
Olivia : No ! No ! I ll take the pill . I ll take the damn pill .
Nurse McGuire : Open your mouth again . Now . That s better . Now get some rest , Mrs. Lewis . At least I got this .
Sandy : Well , open it .
Reva : No . No , no . It s so interestingly wrapped . I think I want to put it under the tree so that I can look at it and open it on Christmas morning . Is that okay ?
Sandy : Sure . I hope you like it . I just saw it at a store this past summer and I thought you had to have it for Christmas .
Reva : Wow . You ve been planning ahead .
Sandy : Yeah , I guess I was kind of pumped about Christmas . No biggie .
Reva : I m really sorry , you know , that you ca nt be here .
Sandy : I m fine .
Reva : So what are your plans ?
Sandy : Christmas day ?
Reva : Mm - hmm .
Sandy : Well , it depends on Tammy . If she s going to be with Edmund and Cassie , then I will figure something out . But if not then , and she needs company , I ll be there .
Reva : You two are certainly getting close .
Tammy : What are you doing ?
Jonathan : Come on , Tammy . I really like you . We were great together . If you had nt found out we were cousins , we d probably still be together right now .
Tammy : But I did . And we are .
Jonathan : But deep down ... deep down did your feelings really change ?
Tammy : Of course they did . How can you even ask me that ? You lied to me and tricked me into bed . And it was my first time . All to get back at Aunt Reva .
Jonathan : Well , yeah . But when I was in bed with you , Reva was the last thing I was thinking about .
Tammy : Do nt . Do nt touch me . Do nt you ever touch me again !
Sebastian : For you . Open it .
Holly : Oh . It s the coins . Roger gold coins .
Sebastian : Yeah . And look . Here . See . Now you have all of them .
Holly : I ca nt accept this .
Sebastian : Yes , you can . Yes , you can . You have to . Roger gave these coins to those that he loved most . And I still believe what he told me , Holly ... that they lead to some treasure .
Holly : Oh , the legacy .
Sebastian : Yeah .
Holly : Yeah .
Sebastian : I doubt I ll be able to find it now , but ...
Holly : Do nt say that .
Sebastian : You can . Maybe you can .
Holly : No , you have to start saying , I am not going to die .
Sebastian : I just ... I do nt know how to avoid it . ( Moaning )
Holly : Listen . Listen , Sebastian . Take the shot that Michelle has for you . That ll slow this down . And then send one of us to Ed to get the cure . I can go .
Sebastian : No . Not you . Not you . I do nt want you to go . I need you .
Holly : Okay .
Sebastian : I want you to stay here with me , okay .
Holly : I will . Yes . I will stay . I will stay with you . I will stay here with you . So you need Michelle to be here for her medical skills . That means ... that means Tony . Sebastian .
Sebastian : There is ... there s poison in that syringe .
Holly : No .
Sebastian : Yes . Yes , I saw when Michelle went to inject I saw something in her eyes . I know she wants to hurt me . She wants to kill me , Holly .
Holly : Oh , no . No .
Sebastian : No . Then swear ... I swear that if I take that injection nothing bad will happen to me . Swear to me .
Holly : I swear .
Sebastian : You do ?
Holly : Yes .
Sebastian : I ca nt go like this , Holly . Not like this . Not now .
Holly : No . No . Nothing s going to happen to you . I m going to stay here . I m going to be with you .
Sebastian : Okay .
Holly : And it s going to be all right . Okay ?
Sebastian : Okay .
Holly : Okay .
Sebastian : Okay .
Holly : You re making the right decision now .
Sebastian : Yeah .
Holly : It s going to be okay .
Sebastian : Okay .
Holly : Michelle ? Sebastian will let you help him now .
Reva : That thought never even crossed my mind . That day I came to see you at your place when you pushed me away , was that because a certain houseguest was there ?
Sandy : As I recall I did have company that day , yes .
Reva : Sandy . Thank you .
Sandy : Sure . I ... I do nt want anything to happen to her .
Reva : You know , actually she s inside . She s trying her dress for the wedding . Why do nt you come in with me and wait while I see if she needs any help ?
Sandy : That sounds kind of girly . I think I ll just chill .
Reva : Okay . Well , I ll be right back out . How is it , honey ? Where is she ? Tammy ? Honey ? Tammy , wait . Tammy , are you okay ?
Tammy : The dress is fine . I have to go .
Reva : Wait . No . Honey , wait !
Sandy : So how did it go with the dress ?
Reva : You want to tell me what just happened in here ?
Jonathan : I guess I still get to her .
Bill : Alan , tell me where Olivia is .
Alan : Bill , she s your wife . If you ca nt keep tabs on her , how do you expect me to ?
Bill : Fine . Do you want to play games ? Is that what you want to do ? You want to play games ? Then you do nt get to see Emma until Olivia comes back .
Alan : Wait a minute . Wait .
Alexandra : Wait .
Alan : Emma stays with me until her mother returns .
Bill : You have no right .
Alan : I have more right than you . And if you do nt believe what I m saying , just call the police . But I do nt think if you really care for her like you say you do , you would nt want to make things worse for her .
Bill : And what is that supposed to mean ?
Alan : Olivia abandoned her child last night . It is on record at the daycare center . Now if you want to kidnap her ...
Bill : Kidnap . You are unbelievable .
Alan : If you want to kidnap her , you will only make my case for custody stronger . All right ? Go ahead . But do nt expect Olivia to thank you for it .
Alexandra : Look , Bill . Bill . Find your wife . You know that Emma s in good hands . We love her .
Bill : Believe me , I will find my wife . And I ll tell you something , if you hurt Olivia , I m going to make you think Phillip got off easy .
Alexandra : Alan , what have you done with her ?
Alan : Why do nt we order some dessert ? I hear there s wonderful cheesecake here . ( Cell phone rings )
Bill : Hello ?
Olivia : Bill , it s me .
Bill : Olivia , where are you ?
Olivia : Ravenwood . Alan had me committed . He drugged me .
Bill : All right , hold on a second . I ll be right there . What room are you in ? Do you know what wing you re in ? Olivia ?
Ray : Hey .
Danny : Ray . Thanks for meeting me here .
Ray : No problem . What s up ?
Danny : When was the last time you heard from Tony ?
Ray : I have nt .
Danny : You have nt ? Not at all ?
Ray : Not since he and Michelle left town . Actually , I m starting to worry .
Danny : Yeah , join the club .
Michelle : Sebastian s going to let me give him the shot now ?
Holly : Yeah . I assured him you were nt going to do anything to harm him .
Michelle : Good . That s good .
Holly : What s in that again ?
Michelle : Some b vitamins . And some stuff to boost his immune system .
Holly : What stuff ?
Michelle : Antioxidants mostly .
Holly : What s in the shot , Michelle ?
Michelle : I just told you . Vitamins .
Holly : I think there s something you re not telling me .
Tony : Hey , hey , hey . All right . Sebastian s looking .
Holly : Oh , my God , it s true . You are trying to kill him .
Michelle : And what if I am , Holly ? After what that sicko s done to us , why do you give a damn what happens to him ?
Sandy : So did it fit ?
Tammy : Yeah . It s one of Marah s designs .
Sandy : Oh . I bet you look beautiful in it . But then again you look beautiful in a gunny sack .
Tammy : Do you even know what a gunny sack is ?
Sandy : No . You ?
Tammy : No .
Sandy : Are nt you cold ? Can I ...
Tammy : Freezing .
Sandy : ... Help you out somehow with the dresses or the coat or the ... there we go . Oh ...
Tammy : Why do always make me smile even when I m trying to be mad at you ?
Sandy : Are you trying ?
Tammy : Do you have a tux , Sandy ?
Sandy : No .
Tammy : Could you rent one ?
Sandy : I guess so . Why ?
Tammy : I want you to be my escort to the wedding .
Sandy : You want me to be your date ?
Tammy : I prefer escort . So say , yes .
Sandy : I d have to think about that for a ... yes .
Reva : Do you have any idea how deeply you ve hurt Tammy ? And how disgusted Cassie and Edmund would be to even hear you say her name ?
Jonathan : I m sorry . I guess it s my bad upbringing kicking in .
Holly : Why do I care about him ? He is a human being for one thing .
Michelle : Barely .
Tony : Holly , she s not trying to kill Sebastian , okay .
Holly : What is in the syringe ?
Michelle : It s liquid tranquilizer , okay . It s going to knock him out .
Holly : Michelle , he is so sick and that could kill him .
Michelle : Accidents happen . ( Holly gasps )
Tony : Holly , look , we know you have a soft spot for the guy . Why ? We have no idea . But it boils down to this . It s us or him . And I personally would rather it be us .
Michelle : I m not trying to hurt him . I swear . Think about it , Holly , in a few minutes we could be out there heading home .
Holly : Go easy on him , please . Okay . Just go easy with it . Just give him the very least you could . Sebastian ?
Marco : You stay there with him .
Michelle : Okay . Let s try this again . You re going to feel a lot better after you get this .
Holly : No .
Next , on Guiding Light ...
Frank : What exactly are you talking about ?
Buzz : I have a confession to make about what happened to Phillip .
Danny : This is not about me pining away for Michelle . It s a lot more serious than that . And I m not backing off until you tell me what you re hiding about my wife .
Ross : Blake , tell the man . I want to hear your answer as much as Danny does .

### Dialogue:
Bridget : Mom ? My goodness , you were supposed to be in my office 20 minutes ago .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) I m sorry , honey . I was just checking on Jack .
Bridget : ( Sighs )
Brooke : How is he ?
Bridget : Well , he s actually better than we expected . I wish we could y the same thing for Taylor .
Brooke : Is she still here ?
Bridget : No , she was released .
Brooke : This ca nt be easy for her-- going home without her baby .
Bridget : That s not the only thing she s having trouble with .
Brooke : I know . Nick came to see me .
Bridget : Can you believe it ? She thinks that this is my fault . I guess I ca nt blame her entirely . I am your daughter . I handled the procedure , and her baby ends up with your DNA .
Brooke : She accused you of switching the eggs on purpose ?
Bridget : Well , not quite , but that definitely did cross her mind , yeah .
Brooke : Honey , she s your friend .
Bridget : ( Scoffs ) I know . It s not about me , Mom . It s about you-- your history with Taylor and Nick .
Brooke : I know . I thought she had gotten past all that . She seemed so secure .
Bridget : Yeah , well , she thought that she was gon na have a bond with Nick that you could never , ever have , and now she finds out that-- well , that you re Jack s biological mother .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) That does nt have to change anything for any of us .
Bridget : I know . I m just afraid it s changing the way she feels about her son .
Brooke : How could anybody not adore this beautiful little angel ?
Jackie : Oh , you re here . They re here .
Nick : Hey .
Thomas : Hey , welcome home , Mom .
Phoebe : We ve missed you . Hi .
Jackie : Oh , we have , but it s not gon na be long before Jack is home , too .
Thomas : Yeah . How s he doing ?
Nick : He s , uh , he s a scrapper .
Jackie : Well , he s gon na fit right into this family .
Phoebe : Well , the doctors have nt said when he ll be able to come home from the hospital ?
Nick : No , no . We re hoping it ll be soon .
Thomas : You re so lucky that the donor agreed to help . I mean , if he had nt had the bone marrow transplant--
Phoebe : Yeah , whoever she is , she s got ta be an incredible person .
Thomas : Right , I mean , after going through everything she did to help a couple she never even met have a baby , then getting the call saying the baby was sick , then coming to the rescue--
Nick : Well , we re just looking to the future , you know ? We want to stay strong for our boy .
Jackie : Well , the important thing is the baby is here . You have a child of your own .
C.J. : ( Sighs )
C.J. : Sal , old buddy .
Clarke : Is it true ?
C.J. : Hey , Dad .
Clarke : Hi . Sally selling the business ?
C.J. : Lock , stock and mannequins .
Clarke : Ah , well , I did nt think she still owned it .
C.J. : She did nt , but the people who did went bankrupt , so the title reverted back to Mom .
Clarke : She does nt have to sell it . She could come back .
C.J. : From Saint - Tropez and her stable of cabana boys and endless flow of champagne ? Right . Look , she s done , Dad . And you know what ? I do nt blame her . So I am handling the sale .
Clarke : You have nt made a deal yet ?
C.J. : No , but the phone has been ringing off the hook .
Clarke : Well , do nt answer it . I ll be right back . I ve got your buyer .
Felicia : Hmm , well , look who finally decided to come back to work .
Ridge : I ve been dealing with something , sis .
Felicia : Do nt you mean someone -- two someones ?
Ridge : It s Taylor s baby .
Felicia : What happened ?
Ridge : Needed a bone marrow transplant-- something to do with his immune system .
Felicia : Oh , my God . Will he -- will he be okay ?
Ridge : Yeah , if the transplant works .
Felicia : Thank God Nick was a match .
Ridge : He was nt , actually . The biological mother donated the needed marrow .
Felicia : They tracked down the woman who donated her eggs ?
Ridge : Yeah .
Felicia : Yeah ? I - I thought she was anonymous . Did Taylor get to meet her ?
Ridge : Taylor already knew her , sis , and so do you . It s Brooke .
Felicia : Brooke Logan is the biological mother of Nick and Taylor s baby ?
Felicia : Brooke s egg made Taylor s baby ?
Ridge : She donated the egg for research . The lab made a big mistake .
Felicia : Yeah , I ll say . Come on , who could make a mistake like that ?
Ridge : Look , sis , I probably should nt even be talking to you about this , but I know you re Taylor s friend , and she s gon na need a lot of support .
Felicia : What she needs is a good malpractice attorney .
Ridge : Nobody s making a big deal about this . Brooke did her part . Everybody wants to get on with their life .
Felicia : Brooke did her part ?
Ridge : Yes , donating her bone marrow . She s making no claims on the baby . Once the baby is well , Nick and Taylor can get on with raising it the way they planned .
Felicia : Yeah , but this is not what they planned . You either . From the sound of it , from the way you re talking , you got to -- back together with Brooke . Am I right ? So you broke it off with Ashley ? So now you re starting a bright new shiny happy life with Brooke , but now she s got a baby with Nick ?
Ridge : Brooke and I can handle it .
Felicia : What about Taylor , Ridge ? Can Taylor really handle raising Brooke s child ?
Thomas : So I want to hear more about the donor . Was she at the hospital ?
Taylor : Yeah .
Jackie : Oh , you met her ?
Nick : Yes , yes , we did .
Phoebe : Was she like you thought she d be ?
Taylor : She was nt anything like what I expected , no .
Thomas : Was she nice ?
Nick : She-- she was a good person .
Phoebe : Is she still at the hospital ? I mean , should we send her flowers or something ?
Nick : No , no , no , no , no , that s not necessary at all . She knows how grateful we are , and , you know , she did her part in helping with Jack , and we think it s all best that she not be a part of his life .
Taylor : You know what ? I think I m tired . I - I m gon na go up . I m gon na lay down .
Nick : I ll be right back .
Taylor : No , that s okay . You stay here . I just -- I want to lay down by myself . ( Inhales deeply ) thanks for coming over , guys .
Phoebe : Welcome home .
Bridget : Mom , I m not saying that Taylor does nt love her baby .
Brooke : But she s having trouble bonding with him .
Bridget : But that is nothing that you need to feel guilty about .
Brooke : But if she s having these problems because of me--
Bridget : But , Mom , finding out that you were Jack s biological mother was very hard on her , of course , but that s not the only issue at hand . She has nt even been able to hold Jack , I mean , for very long , and it s only been in a sterile environment . She ca nt breast - feed him . She s not the one changing his diapers . She ca nt even respond when he cries . And now she s going home , and Jack s staying here . It s just hard .
Brooke : I feel sorry for both of them .
Bridget : Well , you ve certainly done everything you can for Jack . Now there s something you can do for Taylor .
Brooke : What s that ?
Bridget : Just sign these forms relinquishing your parental rights .
Brooke : Well , that s why Nick came over . And he said that his lawyers were gon na draw something up .
Bridget : Right , but he got these from the fertility clinic . It s the same forms that we give people that are joining our donor program .
Brooke : It s legally binding ?
Bridget : Yeah . Once you sign it , it is , so just come back to my office , and we ll talk about it .
Brooke : Oh , I - I will . I - I just want to spend a few more moments here .
Bridget : Mom , um , once you sign these papers , Nick and Taylor can get on with their lives .
Brooke : Yeah , okay , sure . I - I do want to help . It s just that the thought of signing papers right now is--
Bridget : Mom , you really need to sign these before Jack goes home . Mom , listen to me . It -- it s time for you to step back and let Taylor do what she needs to do for Jack .
Bridget : You ve got to do this .
Bridget : I -- oh . Look , I need to go . Just -- just sign em , Mom . Do it -- do it now .
Nick : Hey , I do nt want you two worrying about your mother , okay ?
Phoebe : She does nt seem like herself at all .
Thomas : Well , she misses the baby .
Nick : Well , she does , but he ll be home soon .
Thomas : Is there anything we can do for you guys ?
Jackie : Yeah , you can , uh , whiz those things back to the kitchen for me .
Phoebe : Okay .
Thomas : All right . ( Laughs )
Phoebe : Here .
Jackie : So how is Taylor , really ?
Nick : She s , uh , she s okay . She ll be okay .
Jackie : Hard leaving the baby at the hospital .
Nick : You know , mother , you dream about having a child , bringing him home , what it s gon na be like , what your life s supposed to be like . ( Doorbell rings )
Jackie : Oh , I ll get it . It s more flowers probably .
Jackie : Oh , Clarke .
Clarke : Jackie , it s impossible . You can not be a grandma .
Jackie : Ah , flattery will get you everywhere .
Clarke : ( Chuckles ) congratulations on the kid , boss .
Nick : Thanks , but I m not your boss anymore . I m out of the fashion business .
Clarke : But your mother s not . And I have a line on a major opportunity for Jackie M. , a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity .
Jackie : Huh . Well , I do seem to be a bit at loose ends .
Clarke : ( Laughs )
Jackie : Explain .
Clarke : Well , you re gon na have to come with me . I m gon na have to show it to you .
Felicia : It s bizarre . That s what it is .
Ridge : It was an accident .
Felicia : Not much consolation to Taylor .
Ridge : Look , Nick and Taylor have a son , and he s getting better . That s hardly bad news .
Felicia : Uhh , no one s passing out cigars yet , though , are they ?
Ridge : Not yet , but when the baby comes home .
Felicia : Oh , come on , Ridge , nobody knows Brooke and Taylor s history better than you . How long have those two been in competition , mixed up with the same men ?
Ridge : Look , Brooke is with me now . Taylor s with Nick .
Felicia : And Nick has a baby with Brooke .
Ridge : Taylor carried that baby for eight months , sis . It was her decision to get pregnant . She s bonded with him now . She is the mother .
Felicia : It s not that simple .
Ridge : Well , it can be if we all agree .
Felicia : But you re thinking about this like a lawyer . I m looking at this like a mother , and I am telling you , brother , it ai nt that simple . You re on a high . You and Brooke just got back together , and you are hoping to soar right through this . But let me tell you , the oxygen mask just popped out of the ceiling , pal , so you better buckle up and hold on tight .
Brooke : ( Exhales deeply ) I m sorry . Phoebe said that you might be asleep , but I could check .
Taylor : No , I was nt sleeping .
Brooke : You re thinking about Jack . I have been , too .
Taylor : I m really not up for visitors , okay ?
Brooke : This wo nt take long .
Taylor : I really want to rest .
Brooke : Taylor , look , I - I know this is awkward . I - I do nt even really know what to say . But I do nt want to upset you . But we do need to talk .
Taylor : ( Sighs ) Brooke , why are you here ? I mean , what do you want ? I don-- what are we gon na talk about ?
Clarke : Nick , Jackie , you know my son , C.J.
C.J. : These are your buyers ?
Nick : I think the word is Suckers . Let s go , Mother .
Jackie : Uh , Nicky , Nicky , Nicky , please , we came all the way down here . We should at least hear the man out .
Nick : We re not buying spectra fashions .
Clarke : Oh , you ca nt buy Spectra Fashions . Spectra Fashions is something that you embody . It s not just a name on a logo . It s a philosophy .
Nick : It s a knockoff shop .
C.J. : It s a bargain .
Nick : What are these numbers ? What -- what s these costs-- the building ? The equipment ? What is this ?
C.J. : All of it and the storage warehouse down the street .
Clarke : Thanks , C.J. I ll take it from here .
C.J. : Good luck .
Clarke : So , Nick , you always wanted to stick it to the Forresters . Now s your chance .
Nick : So I buy Spectra Fashions , and while they re laughing , Forrester Creations falls apart and goes bankrupt ? Is that how it works ?
Clarke : Look , if that s the way you feel , then you can just go , because if you ca nt stand up to the Forresters , you do nt belong in this building . The Forresters never beat Sally . She may not have finished on the top , but she never got squashed underneath their heels . This was not just some froufrou fashion house . Sally ran a hard - nosed , bare - knuckled business .
Jackie : You were pirates .
Clarke : Arr , the best around .
Nick : That s not the business my mother s in .
Clarke : Oh , yeah ? She s not interested in making money ? She s not interested in using her ambition and creativity to stick it to the Forresters ? Because when Sally was here , that s what made this place tick . And you know , I see some of the same qualities in you , Jackie-- a vivacious , independent wan with ideas of her own . In fact , I hope she s getting some of those ideas right now .
Jackie : ( Laughs ) I just might be , Clarke , just might be .
Felicia : Do nt get me wrong . Look , you and Brooke have survived an awful lot . I m not saying you ca nt get through this .
Ridge : We already have . It s been decided . That child is Nick and Taylor s .
Felicia : Is Taylor ready to accept him ?
Ridge : ( Sighs ) he s her son . She has to accept him .
Felicia : Look , Ridge , I am talking about a newborn baby here . He needs love and attention to grow and flourish . He needs that from somebody committed to him 100 % . Is that where Taylor s head is ? Is she really ready to raise Brooke s child as her own ?
Brooke : I know you re anxious . And I - I m not here to make it worse .
Taylor : I just-- I want to be by myself .
Brooke : It was pretty hectic at the hospital .
Taylor : And I m home now , and I want to rest .
Brooke : You ll feel much better when Jack is here with you .
Taylor : ( Inhales deeply ) Brooke , I know you say we need to talk , and -- and we probably do down the road , but I m just not up for it right now . I m kind of in shock , okay ?
Brooke : ( Scoffs ) Me , too . I - I was in total shock when I found out that I was the m-- that my egg was used in your in vitro fertilization . And then to find out that the baby was sick and they needed me to donate my bone marrow-- ( scoffs ) I - I mean , I was so overwhelmed . It was a lot to think about .
Taylor : But you ve been thinking about it now ?
Brooke : A lot .
Taylor : Have you gone by to visit him ?
Brooke : Well , I was over at the hospital , so I went by the the NICU . Taylor , I meant what I said . I was just the donor . That s it .
Taylor : No , the donor we selected was supposed to be anonymous . She never was married to -- to Nick . She never wanted to have a baby with him .
Brooke : Well , it -- it s not going to be easy to distance myself from him , but I m going to do it .
Taylor : Well , you could start by stop visiting him at the hospital . ( Sniffing )
Brooke : ( Sighs heavily ) what you need is a guarantee . It s right here .
Taylor : What is that ?
Brooke : Papers that we need to sign so that we know for sure who Jack s mother is .
Taylor : Well , if I m the mother , why do I need to sign anything ?
Brooke : To verify that and to acknowledge that I was the donor .
Brooke : ( Sighs ) look , I - I do nt want to complicate anybody s life-- not your son s , not mine .
Brooke : Well , now all you have to do is sign your part , and it s all settled . There will be no question . He is your child .
### Summary:
| Bridget tells her mother how Taylor feels about Jack being Brooke s biological son and how this might change all of their relationships . Jackie , Thomas and Phoebe welcome Taylor and Nick home and try to cheer them up with the promise of the new baby coming home soon . And how incredible it was that this egg donor came to the rescue for Jack . Being a little more intuitive , Jackie senses that something else is not quite right with Taylor . C.J. explains to his dad , Clarke , that Spectra fell on hard times so the previous sale Sally had made was bankrupt , and the company is back in his hands for him to re- sell . Ridge confides to Felicia that Brooke is the bio mother to Jack , but she is making no claims on him so they can all get on with their lives . Felicia is not so sure , it s not that simple - look how long the two of those women have had a history with each other . Taylor slips off to lay down , to be by herself . Brooke stops by with some papers . Even though Taylor says she does not feel like company and Brooke does not want to upset her , she feels they do need to talk now . Clarke shows Spectra to Nick and Jackie . Nick is dead set against them buying Spectra even though Clarke says this was no fru - fru business , Sally could always hold her own against the Forresters . Again , despite Taylor s protest that she does nt want to talk about this now , Brooke persists that she does nt want to complicate anything , but she has papers for Taylor to sign making Jack totally Taylor s child . |

You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Owen : Look , I ll tell you the real story about my marriage to Jackie Marone , something that will shock you , something that will surprise you , something that nobody knows , not even my wife .
Chanel : Now that s quite a promise . Owen Knight , our hometown hero , husband to glamorous Jackie Marone , is about to tell us something about his marriage even his wife does nt know . Do nt you dare touch that dial . We ll be right back .
Jackie : I m sure whatever he has to say will be quite lovely .
James : Hello ?
Ridge : James , it s Ridge . Can you talk ?
James : I thought I told you not to call here .
Ridge : I ve just got to know how things are going .
James : Well , it s not as easy as I anticipated . Things have got a little messy .
Ridge : Any progress at all ?
James : Not much , but I m certainly not going to give up . In fact , I m about to start a-- another technique . I have to go .
James : ( Sighs )
Brooke : You never made a mistake ? I should nt have given up on Ridge . I realize that now .
James : All right , ladies , let s get back to work .
Taylor : This is hopeless .
Brooke : Well , at least we agree on something .
James : No , it s -- it s challenging , but it is not hopeless . I have a whole new technique . Since you two are so determined to battle it out ...
Taylor : Oh , no , James . ( Sighs ) Gosh .
James : That s exactly what we re going to do .
Brooke : ( Scoffs )
James : But within reason .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Brooke : Wait , what are you suggesting ? That we hit each other over the heads with these things ?
James : Yes , but there are rules . I want you to try to reach an understanding through dialogue , understand where this conflict comes from , get to the very bottom of it , and if one of you crosses a line that the other feels is completely inappropriate , then you may take this and swat , but only as a last resort . No swatting unless you have to .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
Nick : He s back .
Bridget : Oh .
Chanel : Owen , before the commercial break , you were about to tell us the real story behind your marriage .
Owen : ( Chuckles ) Yeah , I mean , come on . Does it take Sherlock Holmes to figure it out ?
Chanel : Okay , does-- does it have to do with your age difference ? Your attraction to this gorgeous , older woman ?
Owen : I mean , come on . I mean , Jackie is a beautiful woman . There is no doubt about that . But I mean , come on . Really ?
Chanel : Come on , really what ?
Owen : I mean , come on . Do I look like the type of guy who s gon na end up with a woman like Jackie ?
Chanel : Uh , because you re a local boy from San Diego ? A surfer ?
Owen : Well , that s part of it . Look , I move to L.A. I hook up with this older hottie , who just happens to own this fashion house that s on the upswing . I mean , come on . Who would nt want a piece of that action ?
Chanel : I see . It almost seems like you went along for the ride .
Owen : Well , I m having fun , she s having fun . The next thing you know , I m living in this high - rise loft . I m driving a fancy car , and connect the dots . Go ahead .
Chanel : Well , why do nt you connect them for us , Owen ?
Owen : It s a-- ( stutters ) it s -- it s a symbiotic relationship . Look , I service her needs , and , um , well , she services mine .
Charlie : Wha -- hold on . You re telling us this marriage that has captured the attention of the entire fashion world , this relationship that has always been so endearing and -- and-- and charming and--
Owen : Oh , you bought into that , too ? Oh , come on . Do nt feel bad . Do nt . So did everyone else , especially our customers , which I would like to thank you very much for all of your support .
Chanel : You re telling us this has been a publicity stunt ? This marriage has been a P.R. gimmick ?
Owen : Well , come on . I ca nt speak for my wife , but do I look like I m in love with her ? Come on . Surprise , Jackie . I had you fooled , did nt I ?
Owen : Well , it s time to set the record straight . Jackie Marone was my , uh , cougar fantasy woman . And trust me , it was all fantasy .
Chanel : That s a bit cruel , is nt it ?
Owen : Come on . She got a lot out of it , trust me . But the jig is up . It s done . Jackie , sweetheart , I m sorry , but you got punked .
Chanel : Well , there you have it . Jackie Marone has been punked by her seeming
Nick : I m sorry , Mother . I - I do nt know what to say .
Jackie : Do nt say anything , Nicky .
Nick : When I get my hands on this guy , I swear--
Bridget : Wait , Nick-- honey , come on . Let s just-- let s just let them ...
Whip : I m so sorry , Jackie .
Jackie : Just a joke .
Whip : Look , he -- he-- he had us all fooled .
Jackie : Okay . Okay . Okay . I can handle this . I can . I m gon na go home , um , and wait for my husband .
Clarke : Owen , what were you thinking ?
James : All right .
Brooke : ( Sighs )
James : I want to go back to the source of your conflict .
Taylor : Oh , my gosh , James . That would take years of going back to even begin to try to untangle this thing and resolve it .
James : Well , let s start there , then . Start with that .
Taylor : ( Sighs ) Okay , um , I m thinking of a time that happened right here in this cabin . Remember , Brooke , when you were pregnant , and you went into labor , and Ridge had to deliver your baby ? And why was he up here ? Because you used emotional blackmail .
James : Unh , unh !
Brooke : You know what I remember ? I remember the time that you came back from Morocco , and you were trying to steal Ridge back . He was my husband at that time . Remember ? Remember ?
Taylor : Because I was legally his wife .
Brooke : No , you were married to Omar .
Taylor : I was tricked into that .
James : Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! ( Grunts )
Taylor : ( Sighs )
Ridge : What the Hell is going on ?
James : I m very glad you re here .
Taylor : ( Sighs )
James : I have used these techniques on the KGB , the CIA , the FBI . These techniques have turned terrorists into pussycats , but I can not get anywhere with these two . I ca nt get anywhere at all . My work is done .
Ridge : What is it with you two ? Why is this so difficult ? All I ask is for you to l - look beyond this rivalry of yours and try to find some common thing that we can hold onto that-- so we can live in peace , for God sakes . Would nt that be better for the kids , huh ? Not to mention ourselves so we can just get along . Or is that just too much to expect from you , huh ? Tell me . Is that just too much to expect ?
Whip : Hey .
Jackie : Hi . Can I come--
Whip : Yeah , p - please . Please .
Jackie : Thank you . ( Chuckles ) Mm .
Whip : Whoa , okay . Whoa , whoa . Hold on a second . Here , let me have that . Can I have that ?
Jackie : That ?
Whip : Yeah . Thanks .
Jackie : I bought that ... ( clears throat ) for Owen and me so we could celebrate his television debut . ( Chuckles )
Whip : He s a fool , Jackie . He s -- he s worse than a fool .
Jackie : Yeah . Yeah , well , maybe I m the fool , you know ? Oh , God , how could I have been so wrong about him ? ( Sniffles ) ( sighs )
Taylor : I m sorry , Ridge .
Brooke : You re right . I guess we should be focusing more on the children and less on our differences .
Taylor : Well , Brooke , I trusted you enough that when I had to let go of Jack , and I decided to share custody with you , that was very difficult for me because I d carried him and I gave birth to him , but I did it because I saw something in you that was very different than the way I ve treated you today .
Ridge : Look , somewhere deep inside of you , you have to respect each other . You have to , cause you ve both been there . You ve both stepped up when things got desperate .
Taylor : No , I - I have to admit , I was able to get through that because I was nt focusing on my differences with you . I was desperate , and I needed a solution , and you were there for me .
Ridge : What about you , Brooke ? You can say the same thing about Taylor , ca nt you ?
Jackie : You know , I had a - a friend , um , whose husband had an affair , and she was-- oh , she was shocked . And , well , she could nt believe it . I could nt believe it , either . I could nt believe that she did nt see some kind of sign . There was no sign , Whip . He was the most perfect , adorable husband . There was no sign .
Whip : All right , look . I know you re in pain . But I want you to remember , this --the loss is not yours , okay ? The loss is Owen s , okay ? He betrayed you , a beautiful , loving wife . I mean , he s gon na suffer for this , okay ? He just threw away the-- the best part of his life today .
Jackie : Hello .
Owen : Look , sunshine , I need to talk to you .
Jackie : No , I - uh , do nt want to talk to you . There s nothing you can say to me .
Owen : Look , I can explain . It s not what you think .
Jackie : There s no explanation . Just stay way from me . I do nt want you to come anywhere near me . Just stay away from me ! [ Crying ]
Brooke : [ Sighs }
Ridge : It s true , is nt it , Brooke ? There were times when Taylor has been there for you . You were desperate , no one to turn to . I remember when Rick was a kid . He had problems with you , with me , with his father . Is nt it Taylor who counseled you ? Is nt she the one who ultimately helped him through that ?
Brooke : Uh , yes . I thought that she had something up her sleeve , but I guess she did nt . I never really did thank you for that , Taylor . Thank you . You would have done the same thing for me . I mean , as many differences as we ve had , you ve never been cruel to my children . You never tried to turn them against me .
Brooke : I would never do that , not even to you .
Taylor : And I m very well aware of how you helped Thomas and Steffy come to grips when they lost their sister .
Brooke : No matter how bitter and tense things have been between you and I , I really do admire you for how you handled that situation , with grace and dignity . I do nt think I could have done the same thing .
Ridge : Well , I pray you ll never be in that situation . But if you were , I ll bet you that Taylor would be there for you .
Brooke : Yeah , I m sure of it .
Ridge : Because that s what families are , Brooke . That s what they do . They help you have a safe place to grow and heal with everything that happens . Believe it or not , we are a family here . Forever bound by our children and our history , okay ?
James : We re going to need a designated driver to get you down off this bloody mountain .
Taylor : Oh , my gosh , James , what are you doing ?
James : What am I doing ? I m celebrating my failure as a therapist .
Taylor : [ Sighs ]
James : Here .
Taylor : [ Sighs ]
James : Why do nt you just take this and smack me up the back of the head .
Taylor : [ Scoffs ]
James : Go on , knock some sense into me .
Brooke : No , no no , you re not a failure , James . Actually , Taylor and I are starting to have some kind of realization .
James : Yeah . Well , I m sure that s absolutely no thanks to me .
Brooke : No , really . We were - we re having a breakthrough of sorts . Is nt that right , Taylor ?
Taylor : Yeah .
Brooke : I mean , we may not be the best of friends , but at least we re starting to work through our differences for the sake of our families . And that never would have happened if it were nt for you .
James : Really ? You re just saying that .
Brooke : [ Laughs ]
Taylor : No , no , it s true .
James : Ok . Prove it . Embrace each other . Go on .
Taylor : Ok . We can do that .
Brooke : Hmm - mm , we can do that . [ Chuckles ] [ Sighs ] I m sorry for everything I ve ever done to hurt you .
Taylor : And I m sorry . I m sorry for everything , Brooke .
Brooke : Does nt mean it wo nt happen again .
Taylor : [ Chuckles ] It sure does keep life interesting , does nt it ?
Brooke : [ Laughs ]
Whip : Jackie , listen . I -- I know it s going to be difficult for you , but you re gon na have to put this guy out of your life .
Jackie : Yeah , and how do I do that , Whip ? I mean , really how do I do it ? This morning , I woke up with a husband who loves me , who -- couldnt get enough of me , or so I thought . What did he say in that interview ? What was that that he said ? Um , oh , yes . I moved to L.A. and I met this older hottie , and I-- [ Sniffs ] I service her needs as she services mine . How could he be so cruel to me ?
Whip : Jackie . Jackie , come on , stop . Stop .
Jackie : How could he hurt me this way ? How could he do it ? I feel so used .
Whip : You stop , you ca nt think of yourself like that , all right ? This man is not worthy of you .
Jackie : Yeah , well , maybe ...
Whip : No , listen to me . No . Hmm .
Jackie : Hmm . [ Sighs ]
Whip : Jackie , we re going to get you through this , okay ? Owen Knight will not destroy you , okay ? You re better than he is . He does nt deserve you . Never forget that .
Jackie : { Sighs ]
Owen : Jackie , I am coming home right now . Everything that happened today -- I can explain it , and I will . Listen to me , I need to talk to you . I need to get you to understand this . Listen , I m coming home now . I love you .

Will : No .
Gwen : Me neither .
Carly : Gwen ? Gwen , are you there ? It s Carly . Gwen , I have something important to tell you .
Gwen : I ll be right there . Just a second .
Carly : It s about the baby .
Gwen : Coming .
Carly : Hi .
Gwen : What s the matter ?
Carly : I -- I m sorry to bother you . I know that you were worried about what social services would do when they found out Iris was arrested .
Gwen : What ? What , is it bad ?
Carly : They petitioned the court about Billy s custody . The -- the judge revised his ruling about the baby .
Holden : That s funny , I was just thinking about you .
Lily : I ve been looking for you .
Holden : Oh . Well , this moment gets better and better .
Lily : I went to the safe to get the divorce papers . I know I put them in there after the fire . They re not there .
Holden : Why are you doing this ? You do nt want a divorce any more than I do .
Lily : You have to accept my decision .
Holden : Lily , you have nt given me one good reason why you re marrying Keith .
Lily : So the papers -- you re the only other person with the combination . So can you tell me , do you know what happened to them ?
Holden : Yeah . They re right here .
Tom : Emily , hi .
Emily : Tom , hi . Uh , so what , are you getting a jumpstart on your Christmas shopping or something ?
Tom : Uh , I may do that . I really had nt thought about it .
Emily : Oh . Oh , Daniel was talking to me about what he wanted for Christmas , and he mentioned a skateboard . And I thought maybe that d be something that you would enjoy getting for him . I actually saw it at the sports store in the front window around the corner .
Tom : Okay , I ll keep that in mind . What is it you wanted to see me about ?
Emily : See you ?
Tom : Did nt I get a message asking me to meet you here ?
Emily : I -- I do nt -- I do nt know .

Jennifer : I m the reason you re so upset ?
Meg : Yes . I know it seems strange .
Jennifer : Yes , because I -- I ca nt imagine what I could have done .
Meg : You have nt done anything . It s just , what you re going through , everything that s happened to you -- I just ca nt see you suffer anymore , Jennifer . I have to tell you . Your baby --
Jennifer : Meg ?
Jennifer : Meg , what -- what were you gon na say ?
Dusty : Afternoon , ladies . What s going on ?
Jennifer : Uh , nothing . I -- I mean , well , not nothing . I m actually here running the toy drive -- the annual toy drive . How are you ?
Dusty : I m curious . You guys look a little intense . What s up ?
Meg : Well , Jen s doing a wonderful job with the toy drive , and I was afraid that she was discovering that she was taking on a little bit more work than expected .
Jennifer : Oh , no , no . And I do nt mind the work , though . I m glad to throw myself into something worthwhile . Um , it does make me a little sad , though , that we need a toy drive at all . You know , all these kids have to spend their Christmas here instead of at home .
Meg : So , uh , what brings you by , Dusty ? Nothing medical , I hope .
Dusty : My stomach s growling . Is that medical ? I was hungry . I thought we could get a bite . [ Meg laughs ] If you re busy , then --
Meg : No , no , no . You know what , I d love to . And I m sure I could end my shift early . I ll just go get my stuff .
Dusty : You sure you re okay ?
Jennifer : I m fine . Really , never better . Just working the toy drive has made me realize that there are so many kids who need so much .
Dusty : Adults , too , you know ? You need anything ?
Jennifer : Yes . [ Jennifer laughs ] In fact , I do . I need toys . So you could crack open your wallet , Donovan , and go out and get me some good ones . Um , I need to return a call from a donor , so excuse me .
Meg : And I ll cover your early hours next week .
Nurse : That works great for me , thanks .
Meg : Okay .
Nurse : I ll get that .
Jennifer : Meg , um , before you go , could -- could you finish telling me what you were trying to tell me before Dusty came in ?
Meg : I just wanted to say , I m so sorry .
Jennifer : Okay , I m sorry , now I m confused , because I -- I thought you were saying something about the baby .
Meg : I was just watching you handle the toy drive , and I was thinking how lucky your baby was to have a mother who loved him so much , even if only for a little while .
Nurse : The guy from the Rotary Club is downstairs .
Jennifer : Oh , great , great . Thank you . That means preschool puzzles .
Meg : I -- I mean it , you re doing a great job .
Jennifer : Okay . Well , thanks . I -- I do nt know , I guess I thought that you -- never mind . Never mind , I have to get going .
Dusty : You want to tell me what s going on ?
Meg : I do nt know what you mean . You know what , can we just skip lunch and go home ?
Barbara : Excuse me . Hi , there . I m looking for my daughter , Jennifer Munson . She s working in the toy drive .
Susan : Oh , Barbara , hello . I guess congratulations are in order .
Barbara : Yes . I knew that my son did not poison that hideous woman , and now the police know it , too .
Susan : Well , that s good news as well . No , I was talking about Emily and Paul .
Barbara : What about them ?
Susan : I m sorry , I thought you knew . They re getting married .
Barbara : How long have you known this ?
Susan : Not very long . I m sure they were gon na tell you .
Barbara : I just do nt see what men see in that woman .
Susan : What woman ? Excuse me ?
Barbara : The ink is nt even dry on her divorce papers to Hal , and she s already gotten my son to agree to marry her ?
Susan : Oh , I do nt think she got anybody to do anything . It s a mutual decision .
Barbara : Really ? Well , I find that hard to believe . Tell me , what does your daughter have over my son ?
Paul : I know that it seemed really sudden when Emily and I moved in together , but now that we re getting married , I want you to understand that we are going to do everything we can to provide Daniel with a stable and nurturing home . We re committed to that , and if you have any kind of reservations , I need to hear them now . Tom , we feel that it s important that you re comfortable with us moving forward with our life .
Tom : I do not want to keep Daniel away from Emily . I hope you understand that . My only concern is for his well - being .
Paul : So you re okay with the custody agreement as it stands ?
Tom : As long as Daniel understands and feels safe .
Paul : Well , I m gon na do everything that I can to treat Daniel like he s my own son -- not that he is my own son . Tom -- oh , boy , I m sorry . I do nt mean -- I really , I do nt mean to step on your toes here .
Tom : Well , you could nt , but I do thank you for being considerate .
Paul : Thanks . Tom , I know you had your doubts about Emily and me , but this is forever . And I actually think it s gon na be a really good situation for Daniel . I -- I know that I feel lucky to have him in my life . He s a -- he s a great kid .
Tom : Well , he s become fond of you .
Paul : So we re okay ?
Tom : As long as you do nt give me a reason to think otherwise .
Paul : We wo nt , and that s not just because I know that you re gon na be watching us like a hawk .
Tom : Okay then . I guess all that s left to say is congratulations .
Paul : Thank you .
Tom : My best to you both .
Emily : Thanks . I do nt know what to say . That was the best wedding present you could have ever given me .
Paul : The best , my love , is yet to come .
Carly : This is the judge s decision .
Gwen : Carly , I do nt understand that . I trusted you .
Carly : Take the papers , Gwen . You need to read em .
Gwen : I do nt care what the papers say , I m not gon na let them take Billy away .
Carly : Nobody s taking him anywhere , Gwen . Those papers , they give you full and permanent custody .
Gwen : You re kidding ? Is that really what they say , that I get to keep him ?
Will : That s what they say .
Gwen : I -- I ca nt -- I ca nt believe this . How did you get these ?
Carly : That s not important . What s important is that you get to keep that baby for good . Did you see the part where the judge cites the social worker s report ?
Gwen : Will , look . Ms. Norbeck shows excellent instincts and appears to be more than competent to provide for the child s ongoing needs .
Will : Well , of course you are .
Gwen : It says that you withdrew your petition against me . That s how you got these papers , is nt it ? You went to the courthouse .
Carly : Billy needs to be with his mother .
Gwen : And that s how social services knew , too , huh ? You told them . You made all of this happen .
Carly : I did what needed to be done , that s all .
Gwen : I -- I do nt know what to say .
Will : I ll -- I ll get him .
Gwen : I just -- I , um -- is this real ?
Carly : It s real . The baby s yours .
Gwen : Thank you . Thank you so much for everything .
Will : I -- I do nt know what s wrong with him . He does nt seem to be wet , and he did nt want his bottle .
Gwen : Hey . What s up , little man ? Come here . Aw . It s a little warm . I hope he s not coming down with something .
Carly : Can I -- ? Hello . Come here . Ooh , you little fella . Let me look at you . Oh , wow . I think all we have here is a teether . I think he s cutting a tooth , that s all .
Gwen : Again ?
Carly : Yeah , I think so . He ll just be fussy for a little while . Huh , bud ?
Gwen : You think I should give him something ?
Carly : Well , you know what works ? You just put a wet washcloth in the freezer and then let him chew on it . It worked for parker and sage .
Will : I m on it .
Carly : Here you go .
Gwen : Come here . You hear that , huh ? Did you hear that ? Auntie Carly came to the rescue . Again .
Holden : I hired a lawyer , a killer lawyer , and he s prepared to play hardball .
Lily : You ca nt stop this , Holden .
Holden : According to Rob Feldman , I can . At the very least , I can tie you up in court for years .
Lily : Rob Feldman ? My mother s Rob Feldman .
Holden : I think he mentioned that he worked for your mom , yeah .
Lily : Uh -- uh , he s had a contract with her for years . My mother is in on this , is nt she ? Of course .
Holden : You know what ? It does nt matter . You do nt want a divorce any more than I do . You wo nt admit it . You ca nt . So I m looking at it this way -- I m doing you a favor .
Lily : You re wasting your time . I ve already made up my mind .
Holden : That s why I m prepared to wear you down .
Lily : We ll see about that .
Susan : The only one I m worried about in this situation is Emily .
Barbara : Oh , you do nt have to worry about Emily . She takes care of herself . She always does .
Susan : She never ripped a fiancé to shreds and left him crying at the altar .
Barbara : That was a very trying time for my son .
Susan : And worse for his fiancé . Let s face it , your son s track record with women is abysmal . But Emily and Paul are adults , and we ca nt do anything about their decisions except support them the best we can .
Barbara : Some of us try to be parents to our children , Susan , not just friends .
Susan : Well , I guess that s why you alienate all your kids . And if this marriage is the mistake you seem to think it s going to be , Emily s gon na need me .
Barbara : Why worry about the aftermath of what we all know is going to be a huge mistake when one can work on preventing it ?
Susan : Because it s not my life , it s Emily s . And I want to stay part of it , not just for her sake , but for Daniel s . And I ca nt do that if I don support her marriage .
Barbara : Susan , I will not lie down and be a doormat for my children . But you can go right ahead .
Susan : If by that , you mean that my kids do nt run away when I walk into a room , okay , you re right , I am a doormat .
Paul : I m guessing Mommy s heard the happy news .
Lily : Why did you insist on picking me up ? Are you coming out ? What is going on ?
Chauffeur : Please , maam .
Lily : You know , I thought you were supposed to be on my side . How could you hire Rob Feldman to take Holden s case ? You re just prolonging the inevitable . I can hire my own attorney . And where is Fenwick ?
Lucinda : Honey -- [ Lucinda laughs ] If you re looking for a big fight today , not today , all right ? I m just not up to it today . You know , this chemo stuff , it s very cumulative , and I -- it just knocked everything out of me . And Fenwick -- you want to know where Fenwick is ? Fenwick thinks he has the flu .
Lily : I m sorry . I m being completely insensitive . I apologize .
Lucinda : Oh , do nt be silly . You re joining me here in this neutral space so that you can vent at me .
Lily : No --
Lucinda : Yes , you did .
Lily : I would nt have even brought it up if I had known that -- you had a difficult chemo session . I m sorry . Is there anything I can do ?
Lucinda : Honey , I m sitting there interminable hours with a drip in my arm . My beautiful book I ca nt even -- I ca nt even read it . [ Lucinda sobs ] All I want is just one simple thing . I just -- I would like -- I would like to have a hug from my favorite pussycat . Can I please have that ? Okay , thank you . [ Lucinda sobs ] Oh , that feels good . Thanks , darling . What ? Oh --
Lily : What happened ?
Lucinda : Oh , forget it . No , no , no . I bit the bullet .
Lily : What do you mean , you bit the bullet ?
Lucinda : I bit the bullet . I did . It was inevitable , darling . Every morning , there s more of my hair on the pillow . And so I -- I have my fancy razor , and I just said , Okay . I mean , I did nt do it . I had somebody do it , one fell swoop . Little victories .
Lily : I do nt know what to say .
Lucinda : Oh , darling , you do nt have to say anything .
Lily : What can I do ? I ll do anything -- anything .
Lucinda : Oh , sweetheart , it s only hair , you know ? And it ll grow back . They say that anyway . But oh , darling , they ve been giving me all these pink things . I ve got pink pamphlets . I ve got -- I ve got a pink glass . Pink -- I mean , I just feel like every shred of my dignity has been taken away from me ?
Lily : What are you talking about ? Side - effects from chemo will never take away your dignity .
Lucinda : Well --
Lily : You know , you are the person in the world that I admire the most .
Lucinda : No , I m not .
Lily : Yes , you are .
Lucinda : No , I m not . Yes , you are .
Lucinda : Honey -- oh , honey . Oh , oh ! Oh , you know what ? [ Lucinda laughs ] You really want to do something for me ?
Lily : Yes !
Lucinda : I got a final request .
Lily : A final request ? Please do nt say that . Okay , what ? Anything .
Lucinda : Oh , it s Keith . Get rid of him . Go back . Go back to Holden , where you belong .
Dusty : You want to tell me what s wrong ?
Meg : Oh , that feels so good .
Dusty : You know I m here for you , right ?
Meg : Yeah . It s just that Jennifer at the hospital -- I do nt know .
Dusty : What happened ? Did she say something to you ?
Meg : No , no . I just feel like I have everything and she s lost so much . And yet , there she is , wrapping presents and making sure all the little kids have a great holiday .
Dusty : Wow . That s Jennifer for you .
Meg : Just got to me , that s all .
Dusty : What do you think ? You want to hang some of these , make the place feel more like home .
Carly : When Parker was tiny , I had no idea what I was doing . Then , eventually , you figure it out .
Gwen : Yeah ? Well , I m lucky that I have Will . He s so good with Billy , it s amazing . The other day , I could nt figure out what was wrong , and he took one look at him , and he was like , gas .
Carly : How did he know ?
Gwen : I have no idea . But I put him on my shoulder , and I burped him , and he was happy again .
Carly : Nice . Yeah , I think Will has really bonded with him , huh ?
Gwen : Yeah , right from the start . He usually figures things out way before I do .
Carly : It s good that you have a partner . And you should tap everybody else , too , for help if you need it -- the pediatrician , your friends .
Gwen : Friends ? Uh , you see Will , that s it .
Carly : Then lean on your family .
Gwen : Thanks . Uh , the whole teething thing , you were really nice . My mom would have taken that as her cue to make me feel about , you know , two inches tall .
Carly : Have you heard from her , from Iris ?
Gwen : Hmm - mm , no , not since she was arrested . But to be honest , even if she did call , I do nt think I d talk to her .
Carly : Well , I think you should expect a call from the police . They re gon na need a statement for the both of us .
Gwen : Do you -- do you ever wonder what it would have been like if my mom had nt kept us from each other all these years ?
Carly : Mm - hmm . I think I would have liked it , growing up with a little sister . Of course , I would have made you my guinea pig . [ Gwen laughs ] I would have forced you to try on all my crazy designs .
Gwen : Yeah , I would have done it , too . It would have been a lot better than listening to Iris moan .
Carly : The truth . We know the truth --
Carly : Speaking of which , I -- I brought you something .
Gwen : That -- that s beautiful .
Carly : It was Ray s -- our dad s . I thought you might like to have it , for Billy .
Tom : Hey . I m sorry to interrupt unannounced . I need to speak with you about the case you brought against Carly Snyder . Oh , sorry , I did nt realize . I will -- I ll come back later .
Gwen : No , no , no , no , no . It s fine . You can say whatever you need to say .
Carly : I probably need to hear it , too . Is it about the January court date ?
Tom : So you have nt spoken to Jessica ?
Carly : Not recently , no .
Tom : Well , the court clerk just called my office and the judge has denied Jessica s request to delay this trial until after the holidays .
Carly : When does it start ?
Tom : Tomorrow .
Carly : Tomorrow ? I -- I had no idea . I hope you do nt think that this is why I came here .
Carly : I know how this must look . But I swear to you , I did not come here to influence you . When I went to the courthouse earlier today , I had no idea the trial would be so soon .
Tom : Okay , this is obviously not a good time . You need to call me as soon as you can .
Gwen : Well , how come ?
Tom : We need to make sure that you re ready to testify .
Gwen : Actually , Mr. Hughes , I m not ready to testify at all .
Lily : Oh Mother , the state of my marriage does nt have anything to do with your illness . You re tying them together like your recovery depends on it .
Lucinda : Oh , I m not necessarily . And anyway , how do we know that it does nt -- definitively , hmm ?
Lily : You do nt understand .
Lucinda : I do nt understand ?
Lily : No .
Lucinda : I do nt understand about making deals ? Bargains ? That what I ve done all my life , that s what I do -- I used to do .
Lily : This is different .
Lucinda : Yeah --
Lily : Yeah .
Lucinda : It s different because I m only making deals with Mother Nature now , I m making deals -- with whoever s upstairs , if there is anybody . There is nt much that you wo nt allow , when you re life is at stake . Or honey , you know , with the life of someone that you love ? As much or more than you love yourself ? Hmm ? That s all I have to say -- okay -- it s your life , you do what you want . [ Sighs ] I m through .
Dusty : Where s all this coming from ?
Meg : I just ca nt believe we re together -- I mean , living together -- like this .
Dusty : Why ?
Meg : I hate to keep asking you this , but -- this is what you want , right ?
Dusty : I would nt be here if I did nt want to be .
Meg : I m being ridiculous , I know . I just really need you right now .
Dusty : I m right here .
Susan : Your son is lucky to have landed a woman as fabulous as my Emily .
Barbara : Ho , ho , ho !
Paul : No , no , no -- let s let them kill each other , and then we can come back later .
Barbara : Paul ? Paul , please tell me that you re not going to marry this -- this --
Emily : I have a name , Barbara .
Barbara : User ?
Paul : Okay , Mother , everybody knows how you feel about Emily .
Barbara : Listen , honey -- shacking up with her is one thing , but -- I understand you ve been alone for a long time , you might need some physical companionship , but marriage ?
Paul : Emily and I are in love . Not that I would expect you to understand that . I really do nt see how what we do is any of your business .
Barbara : You know how she broke Hal s heart . How do you know she wo nt do the same thing to you when the next flavor of the month comes along ?
Emily : How dare you bring up Hal -- after what you did to him ? You abandoned him for none other than Craig Montgomery !
Barbara : I was Craig s victim . He used me . The same way that she s using you .
Emily : You are the poster child for hypocrisy , you are . You think you re going to stand here and goad me into a knock - down drag - out ? I m not going to do that . I m not going to stand here and exchange insults with the likes of you .
Barbara : Oh , please , honey , if you need some warm body to be with , I understand that . Please , do yourself a favor , return the rock on that hand and go down to the end of Washington Street and you can take your pick . And that way , you wo nt have to pretend to be in love , and you wo nt have to make espresso in the morning .
Jennifer : Mother ! Please , leave them alone !
Lily : Are you sending me away ?
Lucinda : Oh , honey , no . I m -- I m exhausted .
Lily : I hate to disappoint you . Please , just do nt give up on me , okay ?
Lucinda : Oh , honey , never , ever . I m just saying , it s your life . If I do nt like what you re doing , what s the point ? Who cares ? Who cares ?
Lily : Everybody thinks they know me -- that they know what s inside of me , but they do nt .
Lucinda : Exactly , darling , exactly . Only you , and you re at the end of the day , when the dusk comes , and it s just you and your conscience -- that s what matters .
Lily : Yes , it is . Yes , it is .
Lucinda : Listen to your heart . Never make an important decision with your mind . Listen to the whole you . And then follow .
Emily : All you got ta do is keep your mouth shut . Jennifer leaves town , and you get Dusty all to yourself . We both know you re dying to hook back up with Dusty , and we both know that s never going to happen if Jennifer is reunited with her child .
Paul : If you get a second chance to be with the first person that ever cared about you , that ever loved you , that can be very powerful .
Dusty : You risked everything to help me find Jen s baby . Although , you knew how it would go , you put yourself on the line for me .
Meg : I would do anything for you . Jen s baby is alive . She has a right to know , she has a right to raise this child . How can you not see that , when you have a child of your own ?
Jennifer : I just miss him . My son , I miss him so much .
Paul : That s what I have with Emily . That s what you could have with Dusty .
Meg : Yeah , if I keep my mouth shut about the baby , right ?
Paul : You know , Emily and I just came by here to drop off some toys for the toy drive .
Jennifer : Okay , thank you , thank you . Why do nt you come help me label them ? Mother , that means you , too .
Emily : Mom ?
Susan : Excuse me , I was just fantasizing about lethal injection .
Emily : Yeah , I know , me , too . But , listen , I overheard you sticking up for me , and I just -- I want you to know how much it means to me to know you re on my side .
Susan : Honey , always ! Oh , come on , let me buy you a cup of coffee while those three go another round .
Jennifer : I think that it s time that we stop going at each other , and start acting like the family that we say that we are .
Barbara : It s because I love my family that I m trying to save them from the likes of Emily Stewart . Do you have any idea how upset your father is going to be with your brother s marriage ?
Jennifer : You know what , maybe he will be . But Dad s a grownup . He probably can handle it .
Barbara : He should nt have to handle it . He should be enjoying his life , he should be --
Jennifer : Mom , he and Emily are divorced , okay ? That means that they are both free to move on with their lives . And , in case you do nt remember , you are divorced from Dad , too .
Barbara : Just because you re not with someone does nt mean you stop caring about them .
Jennifer : Well , you know what ? You need to get out of the past . And if you re this concerned about Dad even now , maybe it s because you know that you made many mistakes when you were with him . But that does nt matter , because you ca nt go back there .
Barbara : Are we talking about you or me ?
Jennifer : I mean , God knows I wish that I could sometimes -- I wish that I could rewind everything and make things turn out differently , but I ca nt . No one can . The only choice that we have is to move on . It s the only way that we re going to have a shot at being happy and at finding love . And I , for one , am ecstatic that Paul and Emily have found that kind of love with each other . And you need to be happy for them , too .
Tom : What exactly do you mean that you re not going to testify ? This trial date is not getting pushed back .
Gwen : Look , it does nt matter when the trial date is . I m not going to testify , all right ? Not against my sister .
Tom : Okay , then I do nt understand --
Gwen : Look , we all made a lot of mistakes , all right ? But Carly and I are working things out , and I think we just need to clean the slate and start over .
Tom : Well , I m afraid it s not going to be that easy .
Gwen : Sure it is . I m the one who wanted to press the charges , now I would like to withdraw them .
Tom : And now that this has entered legal territory , this is something you can no longer ignore .
Gwen : It only entered legal territory because I wanted my son back . And now I ve got him . Look , I get what it means to be a mom .
Tom : I think that s commendable .
Gwen : I m not going to go in front of a judge and try and take Carly away from her kids . It s messed up , all right ? So just cancel the trial .
Tom : That s what I m here trying to explain to you , Gwen . Canceling the trial is not an option .
Carly : You ca nt cancel the trial ?
Gwen : I thought you got it . I am not going to testify against Carly .
Tom : The state does nt need you to testify .
Carly : Are you saying that if Gwen withdraws her testimony , it wo nt make any difference ?
Tom : This case is about whether you deliberately drugged Gwen by getting a park vendor to provide her with water infused with a tranquilizer . He has already accepted a plea bargain .
Carly : No --
Tom : Signed a confession that admits that he took the baby away , after you paid him to do so .
Carly : Oh , God --
Gwen : Wait , I did nt know --
Tom : This vendor s testimony is probably enough to convict you , Carly . I m sorry .
Barbara : Honey , you have such a kind heart , but you are so naive . I m not going to stand by and watch your brother ruin his life .
Paul : Mother , when have I not been on the verge of ruining my life , according to you ?
Barbara : Rarely , that s true .
Paul : Emily and I are getting married . Get used to it .
Barbara : Never .
Paul : Jennifer , thank you for trying , but -- I mean , come on , it s like trying to get Darth Vader to play well with others .
Emily : What did I miss ?
Paul : Not much . Some righteous indignation , some backstabbing -- do nt hold your breath waiting for a wedding present .
Emily : Oh , really , fine by me .
Jennifer : Well , you guys , I am happy for you both . I really , really am . I m just sorry that my mom has to make everything so difficult .
Paul : Oh , forget about her , Jen . Pretty soon you ll be 1,000 miles away in Europe . Barbara Ryan will be the last thing on your mind .
Jennifer : Oh , no , I m not going to leave before the wedding , at least . I mean , I m going to stick around and wait for you guys to tie the knot .
Emily : Oh , sweetie , no , no , no . We would never ask that of you .
Jennifer : Oh , no , please . I want to . I mean , after everything you guys have done for me ? Absolutely .
Meg : I thought I could do this -- but I ca nt .
Jennifer : I bet you miss your mommy , huh ?
Keith : Lily ?
Maddie : Katie was Henry s last hope , and now that she and B.J. have fallen off the radar --
Mike : Do nt say that .

Ben : Thank you .
Clyde : You got ta stop saying that , Ben . I never thought I d need to bail you out of jail , but I m glad you called me .
Ben : Well , I ll pay you back .
Clyde : Forget about the money , will you ? Now what the hell did DiMera say to set you off so bad ?
Chad : From my experience , Abigail is nt nearly as good as your sister is in bed .
Abigail : Ben ?
Jordan : Hey . Harold let me in . I ve been calling and texting . How are you ?
Chad : Oh , on top of the world . Ca nt you tell ?
Jordan : Good . So ... what s up ? What you up to ?
Chad : I help run a multi national corporation , Jordan . I m working .

Jennifer : Wow , Eric , these really are so beautiful . Our quarterly reports have never looked so good . Wait a minute . Is that Serena mason ?
Eric : Yeah . She ll sign a release . But if it s awkward , I -- you know , with her position , I ll blur her out .
Jennifer : Okay .
Eric : I ll ask .
Jennifer : Yeah . Maxine said you were friends .
Eric : We are .
Jennifer : Yeah ?
Eric : We have some history . We re , uh ... sort of reconnecting .
Serena : Nicole , um . Apparently , this is a bad time . I ll come back later .
Nicole : No , no , no -- dont . There s no one I d rather see at this moment . And I mean no one .
Daniel : Nicole ?
Serena : You ca nt be so bored that you re happy to see me .
Nicole : Not at all . I m not bored , I m just--
Serena : Look , I just came by to drop off Melanie s book , so if you could just let her know I was here , and--
Nicole : Hang on a second . Before you go , we need to get something straight .
Jennifer : Sort of reconnecting ?
Eric : That sounds more indecisive than I feel , I guess . I just ... I have nt talked about it .
Jennifer : I m sorry , I do nt mean to pry .
Eric : No , I m happy to talk to someone who s more objective asking about it .
Jennifer : More objective than ?
Eric : My mom . My family , really . Daniel .
Jennifer : Wow , that s a pretty big swath of the whole town . Why ca nt they be objective about Serena , especially Daniel ?
Eric : Serena s not the problem .
Jennifer : Well , who ca nt they be objective ... Nicole .
Serena : Really ? You want to face off here ?
Nicole : Okay , you are not making this easy .
Serena : Uh , what did you expect me to think ?

Serena : Drink ? No , thanks . Been there , done that , wore it home .
Nicole : That really was an accident . But I can see why you think otherwise .
Serena : Yeah ?
Nicole : Look , you do nt like me , I do nt like you . I get it . But do nt you see , this is a small town . We have people in common . So could we just try to be civil ? I think we should just sit down , have a long conversation , and hash it out .
Serena : Hash what out ? You just nailed it . We do nt like each other .
Nicole : We could do this on your turf . Your terms . I just need you to name the time and the place .
Serena : Why am I so sure there s something else going on here ?
Ted : The real proof you need is on her own computer . If you can gain access to that , you ll have the proof in hand .
Nicole : Because there is .
Hope : Ciara , sweetie . We re all set for the week . You re going with your class to san Francisco . It s all you ve been talking about for weeks .
Ciara : Plans can change .
Hope : Yes , they can , but you also know that I m going to see Shawn Douglas and belle in Tahiti while you re on your class trip .
Ciara : Way better trip than mine , but okay .
Hope : Ciara ?
Chase : Then just Ciara can come with me .
Aiden : Chase ?
Chase : Shelly can watch two of us .
Hope : Who s Shelly ?
Aiden : Uh , she s the new nanny . It s looking like she ll make the trip out with us . And fly chase out to san Francisco so he can meet up with his school group .
Chase : So -- so it worked out already ?
Ciara : Come on . My grandma made pie . Let our parents figure out the details . Thanks so much , Mr. Jennings . It s going to be a blast . You ve got to learn to quit while you re ahead . Come on .
Hope : She s , uh , planning on law school , you know , if the girl band , rock star thing does nt work out .
Aiden : Oh . Ca nt wait for the album launch . And pray that I never have to face her in court .
Hope : Aiden , do nt worry . I know that you and chase need to do this on your own . I ll handle Ciara .
Aiden : Well , famous last words .
Hope : No , seriously . Do nt worry . She ll understand . Believe me , she waged a major lobbying effort to ditch her school trip to go to Tahiti with me . Well , that is , until ... am I reading this all wrong ?
Aiden : What ?
Hope : Are you feeling this would be too hard to do alone with chase ? Would you like some support ? If that s the case , we can come .
Aiden : Hope . That is the last thing that I want .
Rafe : Sorry to interrupt . Henderson said you were in here .
Victor : And so I am .
Rafe : What s up , Damon ?
Victor : You two know each other ?
Damon : Detective Hernandez and I go way back .
Rafe : I like the way you put that .
Damon : This an official visit ?
Rafe : Yeah , it is .
Victor : He s not a detective anymore , he works for me .
Damon : Oh . Oh , that s a great move . For both of you , welcome aboard .
Victor : I ll be in touch with you in a while and finalize the roll out on that project .
Damon : Sure .
Rafe : Your man s twitchy .
Victor : You enjoyed that too much .
Rafe : Eh , well , some days , having a badge was fun .
Victor : So I assume you ve had dealings ?
Rafe : Yeah . Never any convictions , though . Funny how that works . What s a guy like demon doing for a guy like you these days ?
Victor : Minding his own business . He likes his job . What about you ? What are you doing here ?
Rafe : Minding your business .
Victor : I hired you to run a club , that s all .
Rafe : That s why I m here , Victor .
Victor : Is there a problem ?
Rafe : Well , a new trucking company showed up today to deliver the supplies . And there was a 20 percent surcharge on the bill . Know anything about that ?
Abigail : I - I - I tried to see you in jail , but they would nt let me in , and--
Ben : No , it s okay , I m ... really glad you did nt see that .
Clyde : Son , I m gon na make a few calls .
Abigail : Ben . What happened ?
Ben : I lost my temper and I hit Chad .
Abigail : Yeah , I know . I saw him , he looked ... pretty beaten up .
Ben : Okay , I hit him more than once .
Abigail : But why ?
Ben : He set me off , Abigail . I do nt know .
Abigail : You do nt know ? Come on , Ben . Seriously , you expect me to believe that ? You -- you beat a guy up like that and you just -- you do nt know why ? Talk to me , please . What happened , what did he do ?
Chad : Is that why you re here ? Because of us ?
Jordan : I m concerned about you . Why did nt you answer any of my texts or messages ?
Chad : I knew what they were about .
Jordan : Okay , well then why did nt you answer so I could help ? I want to take care of you .
Chad : Aw . That is so sweet . You wanted to take care of me ?
Jordan : Yes .
Chad : Or did you want me to drop the charges against your brother ?
Ben : It does nt matter what Chad said , Abigail . There s no excuse for me beating him like that .
Abigail : Okay . Um , okay -- so , um , what happens now ?
Ben : Chad s pressing charges .
Abigail : All right . Well , you do nt have a record . So--
Ben : No , no -- there s a record . There s no arrest , but Rafe made a record of the time before . That ll definitely come up .
Abigail : I m gon na call Aiden Jennings . He was -- he was great with my brother s case , and he ll definitely help you . Especially if -- if Chad was provoking you .
Ben : I m not using anything that Chad said .
Abigail : But you said that he was trying to set you up . I mean--
Ben : Abigail ? Please , just ... leave it alone .
Abigail : What are you talking about ?
Ben : I ll handle it .
Abigail : No , Ben , you could go to jail .
Ben : I ll handle it .
Clyde : Abigail ? No way in hell that s gon na happen . Not as long as I have breath .
Eric : They had a fight last night at edge of the square . Drink throwing , hitting . Pulling hair .
Jennifer : What ? Yikes . And really , the little that I know about Serena , I do think she is one of the few women who could go toe to toe with Nicole .
Eric : Mm .
Jennifer : How does Serena feel about all this ?
Eric : She seems to be okay .
Jennifer : And Nicole ?
Eric : I do nt know . And honestly ... I do nt care .
Serena : What s really going on here , Nicole ?
Nicole : Look , the truth is ... I want to get on with my life , completely apart from Eric . And you . And that wo nt happen if we ca nt run into each other and not start swinging .
Serena : Uh - huh . And when Eric hears about this big overture , then what ? Cause that s the real deal , is nt it , Nicole ? You just want to get back into Eric s good graces ?
Nicole : No , I promise you . It is not that .
Serena : And I should believe you , why ?
Nicole : Because . I m telling you the truth . Please , look at me . That is the truth . This is not about Eric !
Serena : Then who is it about ?
Daniel : Okay . Well , you missed out . I do nt know what kept you . Your eyes really are unique .
Serena : Daniel , hi . Sorry to ... interrupt . I was just bringing Mel -- Melanie s book back .
Daniel : Uh , it s okay . It s okay . Uh , I m sorry that IM ... you know .
Serena : Please , do nt . Do nt be , I -- sorry . I - I should have called . Um , I ll be going .
Nicole : Bye . [ Laughs ]
Daniel : Hmm , so did you -- did you play nice ?
Nicole : I showed great restraint .
Daniel : You two get into it ?
Nicole : No . We were quite polite .
Daniel : Hmm .
Nicole : And I took the lead on that . See , I m taking your advice and I m letting it go .
Daniel : Wow , that s a good girl . I m -- I m proud of you .
Nicole : Thank you .
Daniel : Yeah .
Nicole : I m glad you re happy with me . However , I have issues with you .
Daniel : Oh , you have issues with me .
Nicole : Mm - hmm . I do nt think that shower got you very clean . You re gon na have to get right back in there .
Daniel : Oh , really ? Ohh , I m sorry . But you missed out .
Nicole : Oh , I did -- I missed out , huh ?
Daniel : Yes , you did . Yeah , I m sorry .
Nicole : Well , at least let me dry you off .
Eric : I figured out a while back that it was better and easier for both of us if I just did nt see Nicole .
Jennifer : Now , do nt you think that s kind of hard to manage sometimes ?
Eric : Actually , it s been pretty easy . I mean , except for last night . That was an exception .
Jennifer : Then why are you still so unsettled ?
Eric : It s Daniel . I mean , is this ... too weird to talk about ?
Jennifer : No , it s really not , I m -- I m really fine .
Eric : Things were a little tense with Daniel when this thing kind of broke out at the club . It s just -- he s been a good friend . I owe him a lot . But it s really hard to see how we do nt end up on opposite sides in all of this .
Jennifer : Eric , I m -- I m sorry , Daniel and I -- we -- we made a lot of mistakes when we were together . And nobody is perfect . But he is a great friend . And that friendship is worth whatever trouble comes with it , so I really hope the two of you can figure it out .
Aiden : Uh , I-- I appreciate the offer . I do , it s just the whole thing is starting to feel like a big mistake , and I think adding more people to the mix would just , you know .
Hope : Well then , why are you taking chase ?
Aiden : I mean , you ve seen how he reacted to selling the house . It s the one thing he asked . He wanted to -- to see the -- the house . The place where his mom died . Oh , gosh , I mean ... what does a kid do with that ? Why do you want to go back to the place of your-- your worst nightmare ?
Hope : Maybe he needs to end the chapter in his way . As much as you ever can when you lose a parent .
Aiden : I just do nt know what it s gon na do to him .
Hope : Aiden , listen to me . You re a wonderful father . I ve seen how amazing you are with him . Whatever comes , I know you ll do right by him . Maybe you could use some back up , what do you say ? Hmm ? Ciara s wonderful with chase . And , uh , I m not too shabby with you , right ?
Aiden : I mean , it s just gon na be for a few hours .
Hope : I do nt care about that . It wo nt be out of the way for us and even if it were , it would nt matter . We re gon na be there for you . The both of you , and help you get through this .
Aiden : Wow . It s not mystery where Ciara gets it . I never want to face you in court either .
Hope : Good . Is that a yes ? Yes ?
Aiden : Oh , you are amazing . But look , it s -- it s truly just gon na be for a few hours . Okay , but ... if you and Ciara--
Hope : We d love to . Yes , we would .
Victor : I m not interested in that sort of day to day detail , Rafe .
Rafe : So someone muscles in on your trucking business and then charges you an extra 20 percent to rub your nose in it , and you do nt care ?
Victor : You heard what I said .
Rafe : Uh , hmm . Okay . So either you want to get shaken down , or you just do nt want to talk to me about it . Look , Victor . There are ways to handle this that are nt , um ...
Victor : Are nt what ? Messy ?
Rafe : You do nt have to get your hands dirty . But if you need help--
Victor : Then I ll call you . You got the job that you wanted from me , Rafe . Take care of that . Let me worry about my other interests .
Clyde : I m working on getting a lawyer for you now . Aiden Jennings office says he s on his way out of town , so we got ta find--
Ben : No , you do nt have to do that . Bailing me out was enough .
Clyde : Hey , you got ta walk away from this clean . All right ? I m not gon na sit here and let you get a criminal record . It just closes too many doors in life .
Abigail : Ben , you have to listen to him .
Clyde : First , we got ta get over to TBD and get your stuff .
Ben : Okay , I can do that .
Clyde : Well I m coming with you . From now on , you ca nt afford to run into Chad DiMera alone .
Jordan : What Ben did was wrong . It was off the charts wrong .
Chad : But ?
Jordan : Look , do I want to see my brother go to jail ? No , okay . But I m sure he s really sorry .
Chad : Not as sorry as he s gon na be . Two cops were witnesses , and Ben has a history . He ca nt control himself , Jordan , and people who ca nt control themselves , they need a -- they need to learn a lesson .
Jordan : Okay , you re right . Listen , listen -- you re right . Okay ? And I am sure this is a big wake up call to him right now . He needs to figure out a way to get control of his anger , and I m gon na talk to him about that .
Chad : [ Laughs ] That ll do it .
Jordan : Whatever you want . Okay , whatever you think will help .
Chad : You would do anything ? Would nt you ? You would do absolutely anything to keep me from pressing charges . You d sleep with me right here and now , would nt you ? You were gon na hit me , were nt you ?
Jordan : No .
Chad : I guess that temper runs in the family .
Jordan : Why are you doing this ? I do nt understand why you re doing--
Chad : Because I m not gon na be used , Jordan . Not by you and not by anybody else .
Jordan : I am not trying--
Chad : No , your brother s gon na pay for what he did . You know the way out .
Clyde : Chad s not in . They do nt expect him for awhile , if at all .
Ben : All right . Thanks . I ll go get my stuff and head home .
Clyde : All right , I ll wait here .
Ben : No , you do nt have to . I can handle this on my own .
Clyde : That s what family s for , all right ? They look out for each other . Just like you and Jordan did for each other all those years . You fight for family . Hey . That s what happened , is nt it ? Chad DiMera said something about your family .
Ben : I m not gon na discuss this with you or anyone else .
Clyde : All right . I respect that , you re a good man . Go get your things , I ll give you a ride home . [ Cell phone rings ] Weston .
Victor : We need to meet .
Daniel : You know , it s supposed to snow tonight .
Nicole : Oh . Well , we could stay here all cozy . Or we could go to the park and have some fun .
Daniel : You looking for a snowball fight ? Huh ?
Nicole : Why not ?
Daniel : Why not ? I ve seen your skills . I do nt need you aiming any projectiles at me .
Nicole : Oh , what ?
Daniel : What ?
Nicole : It s snow , how bad could it hurt ? Especially since I throw like a girl .
Daniel : Hey , hey , hey , this is not dodge ball or football . This is snow ball .
Nicole : Oh , do nt even .
Daniel : I will take you down .
Nicole : Oh .
Daniel : All right . Hold that thought .
Nicole : Okay . Ooh . Hi .
Daniel : Whoa .
Nicole : What ? It s an emergency . I got ta go .
Nicole : Oh -- yeah , go , go .
Daniel : Okay . Well , I - I wo nt take long .
Nicole : It s okay . I ll let myself out .
Serena : You are a total wild card , Nicole walker . Maybe I should keep you close .
Serena : Hello ?
Nicole : Hi . It s Nicole . Uh , sorry we got interrupted .
Serena : That s okay . I understand your motivation much better now . Dr. Jonas seems like a pretty good guy .
Nicole : He is . So can we -- can we clear the air ? Can we meet right now and settle things ?
Serena : Sure . You can come by my hotel .
Nicole : Yeah , of course .
Serena : Great . As I recall , you know where it is . You can keep the lock picks at home . I ll be sure to answer when you knock .
Nicole : I ll see you later .
Aiden : Well , thank you , Shelly . Okay , we ll be home soon . Thanks .
Hope : Hey .
Aiden : Hey .
Hope : Nanny all set ?
Aiden : She s fine .
Hope : Okay , great . Well , I changed my flight . I m gon na go from Seattle to lax to Tahiti . It ll only be three hours later than originally planned .
Aiden : Okay .
Hope : Yeah .
Aiden : Okay , if that s --
Hope : It s like it s meant to be , right ?
Aiden : Yeah .
Hope : Are you good with this ?
Aiden : I am grateful .
Hope : Wait a sec -- are you sure ? You re okay with it ?
Aiden : I am sure -- yes , absolutely . I just feel a little guilty that it s all this work for just a few hours , that s all .
Hope : Again , I told you , we re happy to do it .
Aiden : Okay . Okay , well then , chase will say his goodbye . I ll stay behind and close on the house and ... itll all be done .
Hope : Yeah .
Aiden : And we can move on with our lives .
Clyde : Well Victor , I--
Victor : University park . Clearing south of the fountain . 20 minutes .
Clyde : I ll see you there .
Jordan : What are you doing standing out here ?
Clyde : Well , good morning to you too . Ben s in getting his things .
Jordan : Thank you for bailing him out .
Clyde : Yeah , I m gon na take care of this for your brother .
Jordan : What does that mean ?
Clyde : Legally . Have you talked to your boyfriend ?
Jordan : I tried , but he s being really weird with me . What ?
Clyde : I bet you anything this fight was about you .
Abigail : Chad ? Are you all right ?
Chad : Yeah , I - I just hate the whole thing .
Abigail : I know , me too .
Chad : I do nt know why Ben came at me that way .
Abigail : There s no excuse for it .
Chad : I mean , I - I - Ive tried with the guy , Abigail . I kept him on at the club after he attacked me the first time . I did nt press charges then but now , I--
Abigail : Is that what you feel like you have to do ?
Chad : If I did nt , the cops would anyway . Take care .
Abigail : Wait , Chad , wait . Um ... do you really not have any idea what set him off ?
Chad : He s really possessive of you . I did nt realize how much until now .
Daniel : You got the pre - ops on the crushed femur ? Car accident , route 17 , crushed femur , internal bleeding .
Nurse : Yeah , Dr. Patel got back early . She took it .
Daniel : Oh , thanks for the heads up . Not that I mind leaving a warm someone , driving in the freezing cold . Could be having a snow ball fight right now . I still could .
Nicole : This is Nicole walker . Please leave a message .
Daniel : Hey , legs . You get this in 15 minutes , you call me . Snowballs , 15 paces . Game on .
Eric : Hey , Daniel .
Daniel : Hey .
Eric : You have a few minutes ? Just want to talk to you about Serena . And Nicole .
Nicole : So what folder am I looking for exactly ? I mean , it s not gon na say stolen research .
Ted : The Hartford project . Anything even remotely related to that -- research notes . What ?
Nicole : Well , it s just so ... bloodless .
Ted : Sorry the total destruction of my life and career did nt have more zazz .
Nicole : I get it , ted . It s horrible and all that . It s just that ... dead bodies , embezzlement . Readers can really get their head around that easier .
Ted : I tell you what . Copy everything on that conniving bitch s desktop . Who knows what you might find .
Nicole : Great idea .
Nicole : Do nt turn your back , all right ? Not even for a second .
Nicole : I got it , ted . I can handle myself . You just do your part .
Eric : Daniel , we re friends . And I want it to stay that way .
Daniel : Me too .
Eric : I should nt have said what I said about Nicole last night . I was completely out of line . I agree .
Eric : I just do nt want there to be any problems . You know , between us . No matter what happens with Nicole and Serena .
Daniel : Well , you know , I think there s a chance that after today , that problem may be solved .
Serena : I thought I heard you .
Nicole : I had a work call I had to get out of the way .
Serena : I know how that goes .
Nicole : I wanted to give you my full attention . So , um , here I am .
Serena : Finally looked you up . That was a wacky online search .
Nicole : I am not proud of everything I ve done in my past , but that s what it is , my past .
Eric : And Eric was with you , even knowing all that .
Nicole : Up until he was nt . He s moved on and so have I , and I just want things to be easy for both of us . All of us .
Serena : That sounds good to me .
Nicole : So what do you think it ll take ? Do we have to cross to opposite sides of the street if we run into each other ?
Serena : I do nt know . I mean , this is--
Serena : Oh , damn . I ve got ta make a -- a work call .
Nicole : Go ahead .
Serena : Can you just wait here a -- a few minutes ? I want to finish this .
Nicole : Sure .
Clyde : Yeah , I m on my way now . University park . Do nt worry . Kiriakis is nt dumb enough to do anything in public . He wants to meet . I do nt know . Probably wants to find a way to surrender , save face . No . I guarantee you the old man is backing down .
Jennifer : Hey , honey . What s wrong ?
Abigail : Ben , uh , was arrested . For assaulting Chad .
Ben : Jordan , I m not getting into it with you . Final answer .
Jordan : Well , if it s about me , maybe I can help .
Ben : You ca nt keep bailing me out my whole life . I screwed up . I have to pay the price .
Jordan : Well , if you need money for a lawyer or anything .
Ben : No , dad-- Clyde is taking care of it .
Jordan : Well , if he does nt , if he slips up for one second--
Ben : When are you gon na stop worrying about me ? How are you doing ? How are you and Chad ?
Rafe : You happy now , you punk .
Chad : Excuse you ?
Rafe : Ben s a good kid . Now he s gon na have a record .
Chad : And that s on him . I m not sure how any of this is your business . Are nt you Victor s new doorman ?
Rafe : Oh , that s good . You really think I m as easy to bait as Ben , huh ?
Chad : You two are depressingly similar .
Rafe : Jordan goes to the mat for you every time you re attacked , and yet you ...
Chad : Blah , blah , blah .
Rafe : Ca nt leave her brother alone .
Chad : What are you babbling about ?
Rafe : She s committed to you . You do nt deserve her .
Chad : Why would you say that ?
Aiden : So hope and I have worked it out , and it looks like she and Ciara will be joining us in Puget sound .
Ciara : Yes ! I love traveling to so many different places . Now if I could just add Tahiti .
Hope : You know what , you need to quit while you re ahead . Come on . We need to buy a sled before the storm starts .
Chase : Do we have a sled ?
Aiden : Uh , we will , almost immediately . Let s go buy a sled .
Chase : I want it to snow 10 feet .
Ciara : No way . You want enough to close school , but not enough to stop flights . Cause we are so not missing this trip .
Chase : How many feet is that ?
Aiden : It s just a few hours . Nothing can happen in a few hours . ( Announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ?
Daniel : And when I walked into the living room just now , Nicole and Serena were having a very civilized conversation .
Eric : Really ?
Daniel : Yeah , and it was nt planned . Serena was returning something to Melanie , and maybe it s just because it caught them both off guard , or maybe , just maybe ... they both want to live and let live .
Abigail : I mean , it seems like Chad said something that set Ben off , but I ca nt figure it out because neither one of them will tell me what s going on .
Jennifer : But Chad provoked it .
Abigail : Yeah , but that does nt excuse anything .
Jennifer : Well , thank goodness you can see that .
Abigail : No , believe me , mom . I - I get it . This time , it went too far .
Jennifer : This time ? Has this happened before ?
Abigail : Kind of .
Jennifer : Well , does Ben have a temper , I mean--
Abigail : Mom , please just dont -- dont say anything , okay . I know what you re gon na do . You re gon na tell me that I have to break up with him , and I ca nt do that , okay ? Cause I m in love with him .
Jennifer : No , I m gon na tell you that this boy needs help .
Abigail : I -- I m gon na help him . I m gon na help him .
Jennifer : No , that s not what I m talking about .
Abigail : I ca nt stay here . I have to go , I ll see you later .
Jennifer : You ca nt help him .
Jordan : I do nt know if there is a Chad and me anymore .
Ben : Because of what I did ?
Jordan : No , I - I do nt think it was you .
Ben : I gave him a pretty good beating .
Jordan : Yeah , I know . But I swear , it was something else that set him off , I think .
Ben : But what ?
Jordan : I have no idea .
Rafe : What do nt you get ? Did nt use any big words . You re an ass , and yet Jordan s still committed to you .
Chad : How do you know that ?
Rafe : How do I know that ? Because she defends you every chance she gets , even though people try and warn her .
Chad : Including you .
Rafe : Yeah , of course , including me . Look , she and I are done , but I ca nt stand the fact that she wastes her time on scum like you . Now she did nt want to hear it , but maybe now that you re gon na have her brother thrown in jail , maybe she ll get the picture .
Clyde : Where s Victor ?
Damon : He sent me . With a message .

Beth : I have a confession to make .
Jeffrey : A confession ? Ooh . To da-- we love that sort of thing .
Beth : When you said that you were going to take me to a movie , I assumed that we d see , well , you know ...
Jeffrey : What , a guy movie ?
Beth : Fast cars , something with ah - nold . ( Laughs ) obscure French art house was not what i had in mind . I mean , a movie with subtitles ...
Jeffrey : I know it s always a pain to read those sometimes .
Beth : No , no , no , no , no , no . It s not that . It s just ... I kept getting what was going on five seconds after you . You speak French .
Jeffrey : Well , you know , i guess I ve always had an ear for languages .
Beth : More than one ?
Jeffrey : Oh , yeah . Seven , if you include Urdu . That was just a joke . I speak some French , some Spanish , you know , Italian ; things you would learn in school or traveling , you know . Chotto matte kudasai . Oh , and did I mention Japanese ?
Danny : What ? Is there a problem ?
Nico : Well , I ve never been inside before . They normally have a table reserved for me out in the alley . You know , I think I ve sampled everything on the menu from the garbage . Yeah . I did get caught once .
Danny : Really ? What happened ?
Nico : All I felt was the barrel of a shotgun in the back of my head . It s kind of embarrassing when you re leaning over the trash trying to get some grub . The guy pumps the action , tells me to split or he s going to have me thrown in jail . So I ran . I think I was having part of a buzz burger that night .
Danny : So , what ? You want to go eat somewhere else ? I
Nico : A crime boss who ca nt even tell when someone s lying ? ( Snickers ) hey , man , you may not be dirty after all .
Josh : Hey , son , it s me . I m at company now , and I was thinking you might want to come by here early so we could talk a little strategy , you know-- figure out what you want to say to this guy exactly . So when you get this message , call me , or better yet , just come straight here because you know I m excited . Something major is going to happen tonight ; I can feel it . ( Music playing )
Marina : You know there s nothing I like better in the world than hanging out with you .
Shayne : Me , too . Turn it back up .
Marina : Last chance . Are you sure , are you absolutely 100 % positive that you do nt want to turn this car around right now and go back and meet the cub s exec ? I mean , we re talking about the Chicago cubs here .
Shayne : It s fine . Look , I ve got it all timed out . We re going to check out part of the concert , and we re going to be back at company before that guy even gets there . Look , my whole future depends on this one meeting . You do nt think I d miss it , do you ? ... Cause I m scared We re on our way yeah It s too late to take back What I m feeling ...
Christopher : You seem anxious . Not because of me , I hope .
Reva : No . Come in , Christopher . My son has a meeting with a baseball executive from the cubs tonight and , well , it s a big deal , and big deals and kids equal anxiety . I told him to follow his heart . His heart told him to go to a concert with his girlfriend first .
Christopher : Before the big meeting ?
Reva : Well , yeah . He s cutting it close , but you know , this is boring mother stuff .
Christopher : Well , your son is embarking on a significant journey . You must be proud .
Reva : Are we small talking ?
Christopher : Yes .
Reva : Care to stop ?
Christopher : I ll follow your lead .
Reva : You made a remark to me , and it made me feel like maybe you was getting a little carried away . I mean , it s one thing to use the gift i have , or the instincts that i have to help the police find a missing girl . But to change the world ?
Christopher : Okay , cards on the table , reva . Ever since my wife died , i have spent every waking moment researching , experimenting , testing , and looking ... Looking for somebody like you , somebody with the power to change everything . You are that person , reva .
Danny : You could nt sit at the house with a beer ?
Tony : I guess not .
Danny : How many is that ?
Tony : I lost track .
Danny : Hum . Did you notice josh Lewis sitting over there ? This is not the kind of image we re trying to create .
Tony : Would you keep your skirt on , miss manners ? I told Mr. Lewis I do nt handle the business part of Fifth Street anymore .
Waitress : Here you go , guys .
Tony : Ah , gracias .
Nico : Thanks .
Danny : Thank you . All right , I m going to go talk to josh and make sure no damage was done .
Tony : Oh . Good , Danny . You go make nice , okay ?
Nico : Drink much ?
Tony : It s a special time in my life , and I do nt want to remember any of it .
Nico : So , you and the boss do nt get along ?
Tony : The boss ?
Nico : Yeah . Danny s the don , right ? Or ex - don ... Whatever he wants to call himself . You re the lieutenant ; you follow orders , part of the crew .
Tony : Is there any reason that you re taking up air in this place ?
Nico : No .
Tony : Then shut your mouth . Danny walks around like he s some yuppie business guy , but you know what ? He s still Carmen Santos son . He just figured a way to go underground .
Tony : Listen , Danny s legit .
Nico : Right . Hey , man , at least you do nt try to pretend to be something you re not .
Tony : And what am I ?
Josh : Did you get the call from my foreman ?
Danny : Yeah , I did .
Josh : Good .
Danny : I did . He s great .
Josh : Yeah .
Danny : Josh , I really appreciate everything that you re doing .
Josh : Well , it s good business , and you know , truth be told , I very much believe in what you re doing , you know .
Danny : Great . Sorry , am I keeping you from something ?
Josh : No , not at all . I apologize . It s just that Shayne has a meeting tonight with one of the big executives from the ball club , you know ? From the cubs .
Danny : The cubs ?
Josh : Yeah .
Danny : Hey , all right .
Josh : And he s not really late ...
Danny : Congratulations .
Josh : Thank you . He s not late , but he s not ... It s not like he s early , either , and I just wanted to go over some things with him .
Danny : That s fantastic . Wow , that s great . If i can do half the job with Robbie that you ve done with Shayne ...
Josh : Yeah . ( Laughs )
Danny : That s great .
Josh : You re just trying to get some free labor out of something , or me are nt you ?
Danny : No , no . ( Laughter ) ( cell phone rings ) it s Michelle , I ve got to take this .
Josh : ( Laughs ) okay . Oh .
Walker : Excuse me . Josh Lewis ?
Josh : Yeah .
Walker : John walker , Chicago cubs .
Josh : Hey , how are you ? Boy , it s good to meet you .
Walker : Very good to meet you .
Josh : Yeah . And thank you so much for coming by to see my son . That s just ... That s great .
Walker : Your boy was throwing 95 as a senior . We ve been watching him a while . He s a fine rook .
Josh : Yeah .
Walker : So , where is our star prospect ?
Josh : Um ... ( Laughs ) why do nt you ... You know , you should sit down . The best burgers in town are right here in this restaurant , and I m sure Shayne will be here any minute .
Walker : Great . That sounds good .
Shayne : You know , we really should have left home a lot ... A lot earlier .
Marina : You think ?
Shayne : Here . Hop in the driver s seat for a second , okay ?
Marina : Okay . Wait , what ?
Shayne : I ll be right back . ( Horns honking )
Shayne : For you .
Marina : Oh , my gosh . You are the best .
Shayne : Anybody can buy a t- shirt from a vendor . I would be the best if I could figure out a way to get us into the parking lot a little bit quicker .
Marina : Do nt worry . I do nt think we re that far from the gate .
Christopher : Reva , I ve seen hundreds of people with psychic ability , but never anybody like you . Your talent is raw , but your potential is unlimited .
Reva : Fate . Fate is a limitation .
Christopher : Fate is a malleable property , just like everything else in the universe .
Reva : I do nt believe that . Fate is beyond us . It s supposed to be . Fate is what brought josh and me together . Fate has altered my life so many times , but it s also saved it . It just does nt seem right to predict the future and then change it .
Christopher : But you can be a part of fate . I mean , who s to say that you ca nt stop somebody from being in the wrong place at the wrong time ? And is it wrong if people are spared tremendous tragedy and loss ?
Reva : I m sorry about what happened to your wife , but you re talking about violating the laws of powers that we ca nt even conceive .
Christopher : What if it was someone in your family ? Would nt you want to do everything in your power to save them ?
Beth : This all looks
Beth : This all looks wonderful .
Jeffrey : Deza - towa naniga Aluno ?
Waitress : That depends on what you want tonight , Mr. ONeill .
Jeffrey : Naniga osusume ?
Waitress : Privacy ?
Jeffrey : Domo arigato .
Beth : I guess you must come here quite a bit .
Jeffrey : It s a sanctuary . It s so peaceful , you know . It s very discreet . I ve really never brought anyone here before . You are the first person . Kamahi . So , what were you expecting ? Hot dogs outside the courthouse ?
Beth : Let s just say I dressed for every possible ambiguity . Would he be the jerk everyone says he is ?
Jeffrey : Right , which would mean nothing too low - cut because you would nt want to give him the wrong idea ?
Beth : Or would Jeffrey be someone I might enjoy getting to know . People in this town do like to talk .
Jeffrey : Oh , really ? I would have never guessed .
Beth : You have a miserable reputation .
Jeffrey : I have nt given a damn what anyone thinks or says about me , especially in this town . That is , until tonight .
Beth : And why do I deserve the honor ?
Jeffrey : Because , Beth , you re exquisite . You re beautiful . I love your mind . I love your manner . So tell me-- I need a laugh-- what are they saying about me ?
Beth : They ? They , who ?
Jeffrey : You know , they . The amorphous they . He or she who are always saying something about someone . Let me guess : He s rude , he s arrogant , he s abrasive , and he s abusive . Jump in any time you like .
Beth : Egotistical , mean- spirited , detests small children .
Jeffrey : See , I forgot those . I do not detest small children , Beth . I may be ... Well , I may not be dr . Spock , but it s not the children I ve got a problem with . It s the parents .
Beth : Including me ?
Jeffrey : You re doing the best you can with Lizzie , i know .
Beth : I almost did nt come tonight . Lizzie s world ... My world is in complete upheaval right now and I was afraid that you might be like throwing a can of gasoline on the fire that is my life . But you re not who you seem to be .
Jeffrey : Who am I ?
Beth : I do nt know . But apparently , you are charming , attentive , and multilingual . Or are you just trying to loosen me up with sake and smooth talk ?
Jeffrey : Well , why do nt we save some of the mystery for the next date ?
Beth : And who says you ll get another chance ?
Tony : Listen to me , Nico . You do nt want to be like me . If you want to learn from somebody , you watch Danny .
Nico : Danny ? Danny s fronting . Come on , Tony . Like he s not totally fake ?
Tony : Danny has a great wife , a great kid , and people in this town are starting to see him in a different light . It s a good life . He s happy .
Nico : And you re not ? You re on your own . You do nt have anybody to tie you down , and people respect you . Look , man , I want that same thing when I go back to the streets . The way those two dealers looked at you that night ? Oh , man , they were terrified .
Danny : You were there ?
Nico : I m not going to say nothing .
Danny : That would be appreciated .
Tony : I m going to go for a walk .
Danny : Grab some coffee while you re at it .
Tony : This is I ignoring you , Danny .
Nico : Later , Tony .
Josh : That s his voice mail . Listen , how s this ? Why do nt you come on over to our house , have a cup of coffee ?
Walker : Look , I ve got a few more meetings before I leave town . Maybe a couple of hours .
Josh : Okay .
Walker : You ve got my number .
Josh : Yeah .
Walker : When Shayne comes , call me .
Josh : Right I ll do that . Thank you .
Marina : We re not going to make it , are we ?
Shayne : I m really starting to worry about it at this point . I mean , once we park , we still have to go through security check . Oh , man . The music ... They re already playing the music . They re already starting .
Marina : Shayne , Shayne , Shayne . Look at me . Turn the car around . We re going home .
Shayne : No . Marina , I promised you I was going to take you here , and I am not going to break my promise to you .
Marina : Okay , and you did take me , and I have the t - shirt to prove it . I can lie to everyone and say I saw the whole thing . Now turn the car around . Let s go .
Shayne : Marina ...
Marina : Shayne , what if you miss that meeting ?
Josh : Is Shayne here ?
Reva : No . What s wrong ?
Josh : Terrific . The executive from the cubs is here . He s in Springfield right now , and Shayne missed his meeting with him . Now , if we do nt find Shayne soon and get him back to the house , his whole career could be on the line .
Reva : He ll be back .
Josh : Reva , we do nt even know where he is right now . Wait a minute , wait a minute . When you say that , is that some kind of intuition thing , or is there a fact thing that I do nt know anything about ?
Reva : He went to a concert with marina . He was going to catch the first couple of acts and then be back here in time for the meeting .
Josh : You knew about this and you did nt say anything to me ?
Reva : Oh , you know what ? Let s not even get into who s telling what to whom .
Josh : Reva , this is not a game . Why in the hell would you even let him do something like that ?
Christopher : I m going to give you two some privacy . I ll go make a call .
Josh : Reva , you knew how important this meeting could be to shayne s career .
Reva : What was I supposed to do , Joshua ?
Josh : You re his mother , you could have said no .
Reva : Or let him make some of his own decisions for his own life . Look , he s going to be leaving marina soon , and you have to admit she s been the one constant in his life for months . They ve been taking care of each other . I felt like they deserved the responsibility .
Josh : Deserved ? Reva , we re not talking about a pair of star - crossed lovers here who are being kept apart from each other . We re talking about a couple of kids going to a jam fest .
Reva : Shayne had a plan .
Josh : Really ? Did his plan include being disrespectful to an executive from the cubs ? Reva , did his plan include potentially throwing his career away ?
Reva : His career ? He just graduated from high school .
Josh : Reva , we re talking about responsibility here . Shayne has got to start working on his reputation in this area . I mean , this is a big guy who s come to see him , and he s not even answering his cell phone , reva .
Reva : Has the executive left town ?
Josh : No , he has nt . He s agreed to stay for a couple of hours , maybe . But I gave him my personal assurance that Shayne would show up , so if Shayne does nt , he s going to look like an amateur . He s going to look he s not ready for the majors .
Reva : Well , maybe he is nt .
Josh : Is nt that what it s all about , reva ? I mean , come on . He s in this thing ... He s not in it because he wants to ride around on the bus and play in the minor leagues . You know , if I did nt know it better , I would think that you were trying to ...
Reva : Trying to what ?
Josh : I do nt know .
Reva : What ? Sabotage my own son ?
Josh : I did nt say that .
Reva : Then what are you saying ?
Josh : I m saying it would be nice if we were working towards the same goal in this situation .
Reva : As long as it s your standards . Am I right ?
Josh : Reva , I love you with all my heart and soul , but that ship has sailed . You can keep throwing that contract situation with Shayne up in my face for the rest of our lives . The fact is , i did it , he made it , and now he has to start working on being the man he has the potential to be .
Reva : Where are you going ?
Josh : I m going to drag him out of that concert myself .
Reva : Joshua !
Marina : Let s just think about this here . By the time we go through security , park the car , get inside , we re going to have time to see , what ? Like , maybe five minutes of the show ?
Shayne : Marina ...
Marina : And they re not going to be a very pleasant five minutes , either . They re going to be the most miserable five minutes of both of our lives because we re going to be freaking out about you missing that meeting with Mr. Walker .
Shayne : But we do nt have that much time left to spend with each other .
Marina : Well , okay . So let s make every minute of it count , starting with the drive back home . Now , you re still my favorite guy in the entire world . Can we bail now ?
Shayne : Are you sure ?
Marina : Shayne . Okay , I ll tell you what . If this meeting goes the way that we both hope it will , I m going to let you hire any band you want to play in your backyard for my birthday . How s that ?
Shayne : You know you re the best thing that ever happened to me , right .
Marina : I thought the best thing that ever happened to you was learning how to throw an off - speed pitch down low .
Shayne : You re still better .
Marina : Yeah , I know . Come on , let s go .
Bartender : Three little Indians .
Tony : Do they have any friends ?
Bartender : That s enough for now , all right ?
Tony : I ll tell you when it s enough . Thank you . A brawler . Thug life , that s me . Want to be me , Nico ? my life is freaking great . ( Woman laughs ) Marah ? Do nt get up . Do nt do anything . She does nt need you and you do nt need her . Oh , damn , you ve got to be freaking kidding me . Marah , what are you doing ?
Woman : Excuse me ?
Tony : I m sorry . I just ... I thought that you look like ... Just forget it . Whoa . What s your problem ?
Man # 1 : That s my fiancée , you idiot .
Tony : You know , all right , maybe you did nt hear me . I said I was sorry . My mistake . What are you going to do about it , anyway ?
Man # 2 : Teach you a lesson .
Tony : That s an original line right there . All right , you want to bring it ? Then bring it .
Marina : When did it get so foggy ?
Shayne : I do nt know , but it ll be fine . Did my dad call ?
Marina : Yeah . Hang on I m listening . The exec s already at company . Yeah , your dad sounded pretty anxious .
Shayne : He s probably bugging out right now .
Marina : More like going ballistic . I mean , he sounded like he was trying to be nice , you know , but he had that whole parental you re busted big - time thing going on . The exec s flight leaves in a couple of hours .
Shayne : Okay , good , good . So i still have time . You know , I swear this meeting and my whole baseball life , it s more important to my dad than me .
Marina : Oh , look , he just wants what s best for you . He does nt want you to blow it .
Shayne : His number is speed dial five . Can you call him and tell him that we re on our way ?
Marina : Yeah , yeah , absolutely . Oh , you have me on speed dial one .
Shayne : Of course .
Marina : That is so sweet . It went right to his voice mail . Here .
Shayne : Hey , dad , i know you re worried , but listen , we skipped the concert . We re on our way home , okay , so just stall Mr. Walker . We ll be back soon . I promise . Everything s going to be fine , okay , dad ? Just pray for no traffic .
Tony : You know , even if you take me down , I m going to take at least one of you to the hospital with me .
Man # 1 : Hum . That s funny .
Tony : I ll take maybe even all of you .
Man # 2 : I doubt that .
Tony : Talk , talk , and talk .
Bill : Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . Calm down . Calm down . Calm down .
Man # 1 : Get your friend out of here .
Bill : Relax ! Relax , man . Stay here and let me handle this so you do nt stay a night in jail .
Jeffrey : The tea ceremony , or sado , is very important in Japanese culture . It symbolizes everything from the first cherry blossom of spring to the dawning of a new day . It means a new beginning , a new chapter in someone s life .
Beth : I m about due for one of those .
Jeffrey : The ritual of the tea pouring embodies four principles : Harmony , respect for others , purity of heart and mind , and tranquility .
Beth : Thank you .
Jeffrey : Did you notice the low entrance ? That s so that the guests have to bow when they enter . It s a symbolic gesture of humility .
Beth : Let me guess : You re still working on that one . ( Laughs )
Jeffrey : Okay , yeah . It s not my first reaction to most things , but i am working on it . But the room , it s very simple for a reason . It symbolizes a break with the outside world . It allows one to clarify the senses and to let go of all the stresses and concerns of everyday life , if only for a moment .
Beth : That does sound like heaven to me .
Jeffrey : Well , let me see what i can do . Close your eyes .
Beth : Can I trust you ?
Jeffrey : Well , we ll soon find out . Close your eyes . All right , now , what do you hear ?
Beth : I hear water from the fountain .
Jeffrey : Good .
Beth : I smell a flower .
Jeffrey : That s right . Just one . One flower , not a bouquet . And to appreciate the uniqueness of one special blossom is to be able to admire and be seduced by its beauty , its spirit , and its grace .
Beth : I feel you . You re like a vision to me right now .
Jeffrey : But I m very real .
Jeffrey : Kim WA haru ichiban no sakura no yoni utsukushii .
Beth : Is that a line ?
Jeffrey : To which you respond , omawarisan , chikan o tsukamaete .
Beth : What does that mean ? Yes , I ll go to bed with you ?
Jeffrey : No , that means , police , and arrest this pervert now .
Beth : ( Laughs )
Jeffrey : I really ... I really want to be with you , but if you re not ready , I can wait .
Beth : Being with you is like a chance for me , and it s the first chance I ve had in a long time to feel desired , to stop worrying , to stop thinking , stop being afraid .
Jeffrey : I understand . Sometimes , you know , you just ... We do nt want to be rational anymore , right ?
Beth : Some people in this town might tell you I m not anyway .
Jeffrey : I do nt care about some people , Beth . I care about you . And I know that , you know , sometimes you just get tired of having to be in charge . Is nt that right ?
Beth : Yes .
Jeffrey : Well , then ... Allow me . You can always say no . I ll take care of everything .
Beth : Including me ?
Jeffrey : Especially you . All you have to do is what you want to do . Just take what you want to take , and I ll do the rest .
Bill : Well , it took some fast - talking , but I just saved your butt .
Tony : Would you stop ? I was going to take those guys down myself . I do nt need any of this .
Bill : Tony , did you see gorilla number one ? The guy bench presses 400 in his sleep , okay ? And I just called Cassie so you do nt have to worry about the cops .
Tony : You know what , bill ? I do nt need any of your charity . I had this handled . It was taken care of .
Bill : Tony , you re not going to handle anything . You re wasted , all right ? And believe me , I know a drunken mess when I see one . My father gave me the education that I never wanted .
Tony : Oh . Let me play you a sad song on the world s smallest violin .
Bill : Let s go get up , tough guy .
Tony : Or what are you going to do about it , huh ?
Bill : Sit back down , will you ?
Tony : That was pretty good . ( Laughs )
Bill : Well , you re pretty slow and you re pretty stupid right now . Tony , look at you . Why do nt you just go back to Marah and try to fix things up , all right ?
Tony : Would you just leave it alone ?
Bill : Whatever you did , she ll forgive you .
Tony : Boy Scout , drop it . You have no idea .
Bill : I see . So this is just you feeling sorry for yourself .
Tony : You really want ...
Eden : What is going on here ?
Tony : Just in time . Bill wants to hear my sins , why I ca nt go back to Marah .
Bill : You know , right now , Tony , you re making it really hard to care .
Tony : Bill , you would be surprised how fast that can change .
Marina : Why is nt your dad answering his phone ?
Shayne : I do nt get it , either . ( Honks horn ) come on , step on it ! This traffic is insane . We had to pick the one night when the interstates like a parking lot .
Marina : Looks like it s clearing up ahead .
Shayne : Finally . We re going to have to step on it .
Marina : We re going to make it , Shayne .
Shayne : We have to . I m not going to let my dad down .
Christopher : Just consider what I ve said . That s all I ask .
Reva : I ll try .
Christopher : We have a long way to go , but we ll get there if we do the work .
Reva : Can I sleep on it ? Dream on it ?
Christopher : Of course you can , reva . Reva ?
Reva : It s nothing , really . It s just ...
Christopher : Your heart is racing .
Marina : Okay , this is really getting annoying . I got his voice mail again .
Shayne : Hold up the phone ?
Marina : Yeah , sure .
Shayne : Hey , dad ? Look , we re totally blazing to get there , okay ? I m not going to let you down . This traffic is just ... Just call me back , okay ? Please .
Christopher : This is strong , reva , whatever it is .
Reva : I do nt ... It s something . It s ... Something . Oh , god . Something ... I do nt know .
Christopher : Focus , reva . What are you seeing ? What are you sensing ?
Marina : Shayne ?
Shayne : It s going to be okay .
Reva : Not okay . No , it s not okay .
Christopher : What is nt ?
Reva : What ?
Christopher : What s not okay , Reva ?
Reva : No . No ! ( Tires squealing )
Marina : Shayne . Shayne ! ( Crashing )
Marina : ( Screams ) ( horn honking )
Next , on guiding light .
Tony : I mean , why are you here ?
Marah : You know why I m here .
Christopher : Do nt fight what you re feeling , reva . Tell me what you re getting . ( Sirens ) This has been Guiding Light .

<s>### Instruction:
You are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Your task is to summarize the following dialogue. Your answer should be based on the provided dialogue only.
### Dialogue:
Ethan : Here s what you do nt know . Once Gwen and I had our own biological child , I was going to make sure that you got little Ethan back .
Theresa : Well , that would never happen , Ethan .
Ethan : I m telling you the truth . It was always my plan .
Theresa : Ethan , it may have been in your plan , but not your wife s . Gwen would never give me my son back .
Ethan : Once we had our baby , of course she would . She is a good woman . She would want to do the right thing .
Theresa : You just do nt get it . See , I had hoped the same thing . But I talked to Rebecca , and she told me that since both of you are little Ethan s legal guardians , that it would take both of you to agree to give me my child back , and that -- that Gwen would never let that happen , not in a million years .
Ethan : What ?
Theresa : It s the truth . Gwen would never give me my child back , ever . Rebecca told me that .
Ethan : Is this true ? I know you re furious at her . But surely you would nt have a problem , once we had our own baby , giving little Ethan back to Theresa .
Gwen : Ethan , I will never , ever give little Ethan back to Theresa .
Alistair : I m sure Grace grew tired of being married to a man who could never measure up , a man who , like his father , never made much of his life . How bored she must have been , always stuck in the kitchen when she was married to you , whipping up those wretched tomato soup cakes .
Sam : You bastard .
Alistair : And now she s off making passionate love in all the most beautiful cities in Europe .
Sam : You know , maybe Alistair is right . Maybe Grace is happier with David .
Luis : It s amazing , Hank . All these years I ve known Alistair was behind the most monstrous crimes , and now I ve got proof , and it s all coming out tonight .
Hank : Well , like I said , watch your back . Alistair tried to kill his own daughter . He wo nt think twice about killing you .
Luis : Yeah , well , there s no turning back now . Sheridan needs to see solid proof of what Alistair has done to her , including brainwashing her to make her forget our love . We re getting closer and closer , Hank . It s all coming out tonight . I m going to expose Alistair , and then I m going to get Sheridan back .
Alistair : Well , this is another fine mess you ve gotten us into , Julian .
Julian : Me ?
Alistair : Yes , you . Do I need to remind you that you were supposed to handle the situation with Luis and Sheridan , not to have it blow up in our faces ? My god , if you had nt bungled that boat explosion , we would nt be dealing with any of this right now . Luis would nt be on the verge of bringing us down , and Sheridan would be dead !
Sheridan : Oh , my god , father . How could you do this ? Luis was right . Luis was right ! How could you do this ?
Singer : I would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places , and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet , and I , would fly on the wings of the bird I knew could take me highest . Breathe in , breathe out . You keep me alive , you are the fire burning inside of me . You are my passion for life .
Theresa : I told you , Ethan -- Gwen would never give me my child back . That s why I had to do this . Do nt you see , your honor ? I had no choice .
Pilar : What s happening ?
Whitney : Well , the judge is allowing Theresa to question Ethan .
Pilar : God , I wish her attorney was here .
Gwen : Your honor , Theresa s son is our son now . We adopted him legally , and he has bonded with us and we ve bonded with him .
Theresa : They stole my child , your honor , Gwen and her mother !
Gwen : Your honor , we did not take her child from her . The courts did . She was declared an unfit mother and , as you can see , with good reason . She stole our embryo , and she admits she s going to use our child as a way of blackmailing us into giving her back little Ethan .
Theresa : I had no choice . It was the only chance I had to get my son back .
Gwen : My god , Ethan , when is enough enough ? Theresa has been disrupting our lives and causing us pain for years . She always has an excuse . And , yes , she had a choice , and she made the wrong one , as usual .
Ethan : I agree . She made a terrible choice .
Gwen : I am not going to let Theresa destroy everything in our lives , especially our dream of having a child . Honey , if Theresa carries our baby we are never going to be rid of her . Do you understand ? She s never going to let go . Our baby is always going to be the child that she gave birth to , and somehow , someway , she s going to use our baby to get to you and to hurt me !
Ethan : I do nt believe she d do that .
Gwen : Because you have blinders on when it comes to this girl ! She says that -- that she was pushed into stealing my embryo ? Well , she pushed us to this ! Ethan , we have to stop her from doing this , and we can stop her right now .
Theresa : Ethan , please . Do nt go through with this hearing . Withdraw your case . Do nt force me to abort your child .
Julian : Sheridan .
Alistair : What are you talking about , Sheridan ? Luis was right about what ?
Sheridan : He said that you do nt take me seriously , and he s right . I just passed by my office and you gave it to your latest assistant , or whatever it is you re calling them these days !
Alistair : Oh , now , Sheridan , do nt get yourself worked up . It s only temporary .
Sheridan : Temporary ?
Alistair : Yes . Thought you needed more room , so I m having the small conference room converted into an office for you . Now , would I do that if I did nt take you seriously ?
Sheridan : I -- I guess not . Thank you .
Alistair : It s no problem . Julian , did I tell you I put Sheridan in charge of all the Crane charities ?
Julian : No , you did nt , father . Congratulations .
Sheridan : Thank you .
Alistair : Of course , you ll have to put your charity activities on hold for a few days , but it wo nt take long to get you into your new office .
Sheridan : All right .
Alistair : So why do nt you take the rest of the day off . Go get your hair done and get ready for tonight s Founders Day Dance .
Sheridan : Father , I did nt come here to do some work . I came here to ask you some questions .
Alistair : Questions about what , my daughter ?
Sheridan : I want to know the truth .
Alistair : Now , my dear , you should nt upset yourself like this . You just got out of the hospital a short time ago .
Sheridan : I ca nt help it . I m -- I m so confused , I do nt know what to think .
Alistair : Confused ? About what ? What s -- what s happened ?
Sheridan : Luis showed me proof that you were responsible for the boat explosion that almost killed me .
Alistair : And you believed him ?
Sheridan : Well , he showed me pictures and -- and documents on his computer from your files .
Alistair : Files ? That s outrageous !
Sheridan : I have to know if it s true , father . Did you try to kill me ? I want the truth .
Luis : Hank , are you going to be able to stick around , make sure no one touches the computers till I get back ?
Hank : Do nt worry , I m not going anywhere .
Luis : All right , good .
Luis : Sam , come on in .
Sam : Hey , Hank .
Hank : Hey .
Sam : Luis , tell me what s going on .
Luis : Well , I m getting closer . By tonight I m going to have everything I need to bring Alistair down .
Sam : Are you sure ? You know , I told you , you need rock - solid evidence , ok ? You ca nt risk exposing Alistair publicly without it .
Luis : Look , Sam , I m going to have it , all right ? I m going to have every horrible , horrendous thing that Alistair s ever done . More importantly , I m going to be able to prove to Sheridan that Alistair had Ackland brainwash her , and then I m going to get her back .
Sam : Well , I hope you do , Luis .
Luis : Thank you .
Sam : And once you have all the proof , I ll arrest Alistair and Julian . And I m sure the feds will want to take over from there .
Luis : Well , that s fine by me , as long as they re behind bars .
Hank : I keep telling him to watch his back . I think Alistair s going to try and pull something .
Sam : Well , I agree . I confiscated his and Julian s passports . There s no way they can leave the country .
Luis : Oh , good . All right , look , I ll be back . I can guarantee you , everything s going to go down tonight at the Founders Day Dance . Nothing s going to stop me from destroying the Cranes . See you . [ Luis leaves . ]
Hank : I just ran out of coffee . You want some , I could run down to the deli . [ Hank leaves . ]
Sam : Yeah , that s a good idea . Thanks .
Sam : Chief Bennett .
Grace : Hello , Sam . It s Grace .
Sheridan : Tell me , father . I want to know the truth .
Alistair : Julian , do you hear your sister ? What on earth am I supposed to say ?
Julian : Sheridan , do you think father would admit it even if it were true ?
Sheridan : I guess not , but I m going to lose my mind again if somebody does nt give me a straight answer soon .
Alistair : Sheridan , Luis has been feeding you all this nonsense , has nt he ?
Sheridan : He s just so convinced . I mean , he s made me think that he s right .
Alistair : Well , it s utter poppycock ! Sheridan , you re my own flesh and blood . What kind of monster would I be if I tried to kill you ?
Sheridan : I do nt know . I mean , I ca nt imagine a father wanting his own daughter dead , but --
Alistair : But Luis says it s true , so you believe him , right ?
Sheridan : I do nt want to believe him . That s why I want you to tell me the truth , tell me why he thinks these things about you .
Alistair : Sheridan , Sheridan , I love you . That s the truth .
Sheridan : But I saw all of this on his computer . I -- I saw the boat that Luis and I rented . I -- I saw that you knew where we were going and when . I even saw a diagram about how to build a bomb .
Alistair : Amazing ! Sheridan , do nt you see what Luis is doing ? He s taking everything on my files and twisting them . Yes , I had information about the boat you were on , and I had information about the bomb , but that was part of what I was doing to find you .
Sheridan : To find me ?
Alistair : Yes , your boat exploded , and you were reported dead . But we never found your body , so I insisted on doing a search .
Sheridan : So you were really trying to find me ? When Antonio rescued me from the ocean and he brought me to St .. Lisa s , I -- I always wonder why , if I had family out there , why they were nt looking for me .
Alistair : I did everything I could to find you , Sheridan . I had my detectives give me any information they could get their hands on -- photos , documents , anything . If there were any possibility that you were alive , I was going to find you .
Sheridan : So you were really looking for me ?
Alistair : I was trying to help you , Sheridan , not hurt you . Do nt you see what Luis is doing ? He s turned everything around to suit his needs . He s trying to get you to doubt your own family , to turn you against everyone who cares about you .
Sheridan : But I know that you ve never liked Luis . I know that you ve never wanted us together , and you ve always tried to keep us apart .
Alistair : I never thought he was good enough for you , Sheridan . But I would never try to kill you or Luis . That s utterly insane . Ca nt you see that ?
Sheridan : Yeah , I suppose .
Alistair : Sheridan , I have never hidden the fact that I do nt like Luis . And now , with everything he s doing , he s proving I was right not to trust him . I want what s best for you , darling . Look , Sheridan , do you love Antonio ?
Sheridan : Yes , I do .
Alistair : Are you happy with him ?
Sheridan : Yes , but --
Alistair : Then leave it at that . Do nt let Luis fill your head with doubts and questions . Do nt let him confuse you any further . He s playing games with your life . Do nt let him do that . Do nt be a fool , Sheridan . Do nt let Luis do this to you .
Ethan : Theresa , Gwen is my wife , and I made a promise to her , and I will not break it . What you have done has forced us to take these steps . Your honor , I m prepared to present our case .
Judge : Good . It s about time we got back to proper procedure .
Theresa : Ethan , please . Your honor , if I could just --
Judge : No , no , no , no , no , no . No , you ve had your turn . So take your seat , Ms. Lopez - Fitzgerald .
Theresa : Yes , your honor .
Pilar : We ll get through this , Theresa , ok ?
Theresa : Yeah .
Ethan : Your honor , given the fact that the embryo that Ms. Lopez - Fitzgerald is carrying belongs to my wife and me , we maintain that we have the sole right to determine whether the pregnancy should be continued or aborted . And we want it aborted .
Alistair : Sheridan , Luis has hated the Cranes ever since his good - for - nothing father deserted his family . Luis blamed us , and he still does , for all I know . Please , do nt listen to any of the crazy things he tells you . The man is desperate . He s taking out all his hatred for the Cranes on you .
Sheridan : I just do nt know what to think . I -- I do nt know what to believe .
Alistair : Believe me , Sheridan . I am your father . I m the one you should trust , not Luis .
Sheridan : I m sorry . I -- I wish that -- you know , I just ca nt take any more of this . I m so confused , I do nt know what to think anymore ! [ Sheridan leaves . ]
Julian : Bravo , father . You had even me convinced of your loving concern .
Alistair : You could ve blown the whistle on me . You could ve verified everything that Sheridan says Luis told her . Why did nt you ?
Julian : Perhaps it s my instinct to survive , thinking that if I keep quiet , somehow I ll come out of this unscathed .
Alistair : And well you might . It was very wise of you to keep silent . But I should ve killed that damn Luis years ago ! If I had , none of this would be happening .
Grace : Sam ? Are you there ?
Sam : Yes . I m here , Grace . Where are you ?
Grace : I m in Italy . I called the station house . They said I should try you at Hank s .
Sam : Oh . Um -- how are you doing ?
Grace : I m well . How are you ?
Sam : Ahem -- good . How do you like Italy ?
Grace : Italy s fabulous . You know , Europe s fabulous . You know , there s so much history , so much to see . We re in Florence right now . You know , we ve seen so much amazing art .
Sam : How s David ?
Grace : David s good . He s really busy with his photographic assignment . I wish you could see some of the churches here , Sam . They re really beautiful , and I know you would love them .
Sam : Yeah , I -- I m sure I would , too . Well , it sounds as if you re -- ahem -- having a great time .
Grace : Yeah . I am . Sam --
Sam : Grace , did you want to say something ?
Grace : How are the girls ?
Sam : They re fine .
Grace : Well , tell them that I miss them -- that I love them , I miss them . And , Sam --
Sam : Yes ?
Grace : Just -- just tell them that I miss them .
Sam : Yeah , I will . They re doing ok .
Grace : Well , it must be really beautiful in Harmony , huh ? You know , I m sure it s warming up and the flowers are blooming .
Sam : Yeah , it s -- it s actually really nice .
Grace : Oh , hey , you know , I just realized -- it s probably about t time for the Founders Day Dance , right ?
Sam : It s tonight .
Grace : Yeah , I always loved that dance .
Sam : Me , too .
Luis : By tonight , the Crane empire will be no more . Alistair s hold on Harmony will be broken , as will his hold on Sheridan . Sheridan . Hey , where are you going ?
Sheridan : I m just so , so confused . I -- I do nt know what to believe . I do nt know what to do .
Luis : About what ? What ? What s going on ? Antonio ?
Sheridan : No , father says that you re lying to me . Are you , Luis ? Are you lying to me ? Are you trying to confuse me ? Because I need to hear the truth . All right , I want to hear the truth from you .
Grace : You know , I have nt missed a Founders Day Dance since you brought me to Harmony .
Sam : I remember . We went to all of them together .
Grace : So , are you going tonight ?
Sam : Yes .
Grace : You going with Ivy ?
Sam : Yes . Ivy and I are going together .
Grace : Well , I -- I hope you really enjoy your night .
Sam : Thank you . I m sure we will .
Grace : Well , I really should be going . I just wanted to see how -- how everybody was doing , and -- you know , I got to get ready to go out to dinner with David .
Sam : Right , yeah . Do nt want to keep David waiting .
Grace : Yeah , yeah . Well , it s been -- it s been really good talking to you , Sam .
Sam : Yeah . It was nice talking to you , too , Grace . Bye .
Grace : Bye , Sam .
Sam : Bye , Grace .
Ethan : The fact is Theresa Lopez - Fitzgerald deliberately pretended to be our surrogate so she could be implanted with my wife s embryo . It was then her intention to use the baby as leverage so she could force us to give back her son in exchange for giving us our baby .
Theresa : Your honor , I do nt have anything else to add . I m just begging you to please do the right thing . Let me keep this baby that s growing inside of me . Even if the parents do nt want it to live , I do .
Fox : Pilar , are you ok ?
Pilar : I m fine , yes .
Whitney : Are you sure ? You look a little pale .
Pilar : No , I m good . I m just worried about Theresa .
Theresa : So ? How did I do , ok ?
Fox : Are you kidding ? You were great , very convincing .
Pilar : You were fine . You were fine , mija .
Theresa : Thank you so much .
Judge : All right , I think I have the picture . I ve heard arguments from both sides , so I m going to retire to my chambers and go over the precedents that Mr .. Winthrop introduced . I ll return when I ve reached a decision .
Bailiff : All rise .
Ethan : All we can do now is wait .
Gwen : I hope to god the judge rules in our favor .
Theresa : Well , I have to keep this baby because it s my only chance of getting little Ethan back .
Sheridan : Please do nt lie to me , Luis . I need to hear the truth .
Luis : I ca nt even believe you re saying this . You ve been talking to Alistair , have nt you ?
Sheridan : He says that you re lying to me .
Luis : Well , Sheridan , I swear to you that I m not , ok ? Everything that I m telling you is true . Sheridan , listen to me , I would never lie to you .
Sheridan : Antonio says that you re confusing me , and so does my father . They both say that you re lying .
Luis : Sheridan , listen to me . Sheridan , I love you , ok ? I love you . You re the only woman that I would ever love , and I only want what s best for you . Now , I m sorry if the truth is hurting you , ok , but you need to know what Alistair has done , even if the truth hurts . Do you understand ?
Sheridan : But he said that all that evidence that you showed me -- all the photographs and the documents -- it was all information that he was gathering to find me after the boat exploded and I disappeared .
Luis : Sheridan , I do nt expect him to admit it . Of course he s going to deny it . And if he was looking for you , why did nt he find you ?
Sheridan : I do nt know , but you said you were looking for me and could nt find me .
Luis : Well , no , I did everything that I could to find you . Ok , I did nt have access to all of Alistair s money or his political influence . Now , Sheridan , look , you ca nt trust anything that Alistair says , ok ? Now , I ll be able to show you more and more proof as I decode more C.D. s .
Sheridan : I do nt know . All I know is that my head is spinning because I ca nt imagine that my own father would want me dead . I mean , he s my father , my family .
Luis : I know . I m sorry , ok ? I m sorry that this is hurting you so much . Sheridan , I want you to know that I ll be here for you , ok ? I will always be here for you , you understand ?
Antonio : Get your hands off my wife .
Pilar : Theresa --
Theresa : Mama --
Pilar : Oh -- I m going to the restroom . I m going to go to the ladies room .
Theresa : Whoa , wait a minute . What s wrong ?
Pilar : Nothing , mija . I ll be right back .
Theresa : No , no , no , no . Are you sure about this , mama ?
Pilar : Yes , yes . I -- I got up too quickly and I just got a little dizzy , that s all .
Theresa : Ok , well , can I come with you ?
Pilar : No . You stay here in case the judge comes back . I m fine . Ok ? I m fine .
Theresa : Ok , mama . Oh , my god . Um -- whew , ok . I wonder what s taking the judge so long .
Fox : It s ok . He s checking precedents , ok ?
Chad : Probably in there taking his nap .
Whitney : Would nt surprise me .
Theresa : Yeah . Well , I do nt know what I ll do if he rules against me , you know ? I mean , how can I have an abortion ?
Fox : Well , we ll cross that bridge when we come to it , ok ? What you need to do is think positive thoughts , all right ?
Theresa : Ok .
Whitney : You know , I just keep wondering if this could all be for nothing since we wo nt know for a while if the implant even took or not .
Theresa : No , no , it did . I m pregnant . I can -- I can feel it in my heart and soul . And I got to stay pregnant because it s my only chance to get my son back , and I ca nt live without him . I just -- I ca nt , so --
Whitney : Ok . All right , well , we ll just have to pray that everything goes ok .
Theresa : Ok .
Whitney : Ok .
Antonio : I m getting sick and tired of telling you to leave my wife alone . I ve had it !
Luis : Yeah , well , I ve just about had it with you , too .
Sheridan : No , no . Please , both of you -- do nt fight , please !
Luis : Antonio s just scared . He s scared that you re going to find out what Alistair did , and then you re going to remember that you love me and not him .
Antonio : All right , that s a damn lie and you know it .
Luis : Yeah , well , believe what you want , but I know it s true . And if you really love Sheridan , then you d want what s best for her .
Antonio : You know what ? We ve gone over this over and over and over again , and I m sick of it . That s why Sheridan and I -- we re leaving . We re going back to St. Lisa s as soon as possible .
Luis : Yeah , of course you are . Of course you are . You want to get her out of Harmony before I can prove that I m right .
Antonio : You re not right . See , the problem with you , Luis , is that your ego is getting in your way , because you ca nt accept the fact that she loves me more than she loves you .
Luis : Yeah , well , if I thought Sheridan made that decision on her own , then I d back it . But she did nt . She was brainwashed in that psych ward , and I m going to prove it .
Antonio : You know what ? You can try to prove anything you want because we wo nt be here to hear it . We re leaving as soon as possible .
Luis : Sheridan , tonight at the Founders Day Dance , I will prove everything , ok ? So , please , do not let Antonio talk you into leaving Harmony .
Antonio : We re leaving as soon as I pick up the airplane tickets .
Luis : Sheridan , please do nt go until after the dance tonight , all right ? I will have all the proof . Please , do not go .
Alistair : For god s sake , Julian , this is no time to get drunk .
Julian : We re going to prison , father . They wo nt be serving Napoleon Brandy in the big house .
Alistair : Well , then finish your drink and get the hell out of here . I have a lot to do before that dance tonight .
Julian : Do nt tell me you re still planning to hold that dance .
Alistair : Well , of course I am . Everything will go forward as planned . We ll be there with bells on and behave as if everything is normal .
Julian : Normal ? This is anything but normal . We re about to be exposed and sent to prison . Talk about fiddling while Rome burns !
Alistair : We will keep up the front that everything is fine .
Julian : You know what s on those disks . There s nothing you can do to stop Luis from dropping his bombshell at that dance . It s suicide .
Alistair : Julian , remember who we are . We are Cranes . We do nt show weakness .
Julian : I think it s a bit late for keeping up appearances , father . We re finished .
Alistair : Just do as I say , Julian . The dance will go on , and we ll be there with our heads held high .
Julian : Yes , before they re served to us on a platter . [ Julian leaves ]
Alistair : I need you in my office right away . It s urgent . [ Talking on the phone ]
Hank : Here you go . [ Hank returns with coffee ]
Sam : Thanks .
Hank : You ok , Sam ?
Sam : Grace just called from Italy .
Hank : Oh . So , how s she doing ?
Sam : She said she was doing fine , but then I said I was doing fine , too .
Hank : Why d she call ?
Sam : She was checking on the girls , seeing how they were . But , you know , it was funny because when we were talking , I had the feeling that we were both waiting for the other one to break through , to be honest and just admit that we miss each other .
Hank : Maybe she was waiting for you to ask her to come home .
Sam : Hank , she s the one who left me , remember ? She chose David over me , over our family .
Hank : But I think Grace still loves you , Sam . And if you love her -- which I think you do -- you should say something . Do nt let stubborn pride cause you to lose her forever .
Sam : We had a year of indecision , ok ? Grace was torn between David and me -- a husband that she does nt even remember being married to . She finally made her choice . She chose David .
Hank : Grace is deeply religious . And even if she had amnesia and did nt remember being married to David , she felt she had to honor her vows .
Sam : I know . And now she s off in Europe , seeing things I could never show her . Sounds like she s having a real good time . Look , maybe I was just imagining that she wanted to say more than she said .
Hank : You were nt imagining it .
Sam : Yeah , well , whatever . You know , tonight s the Founders Day Dance , and I m going to take Ivy .
Hank : You are ?
Sam : Yeah . Ivy and I once had something very special , and I think that we can try to make it come alive again . Hank , that s what I want now .
Hank : As long as you know what you want .
Sam : I do . My life with Grace is -- it s in the past , ok ? It s time for me to -- to move on , move on with my life . You know what ? Maybe that s with Ivy .
Antonio : Come on , Sheridan , let s go .
Luis : Wait . Sheridan , come to that dance tonight , all right ? I m going to show the world -- I m going to show them proof of everything that I ve been telling you .
Sheridan : I do nt know , Luis . Maybe Antonio is right . Maybe we should just go to St. Lisa s and get away from the stress .
Luis : All right , just wait till tomorrow , ok ? And if you want to leave then , I will not stop you .
Antonio : You know what ? You do nt have to listen to him .
Sheridan : But if Luis is right , if there really is proof that my father lied , then it means that he did terrible things to hurt me .
Luis : That s right , Alistair is an evil man .
Antonio : Do not listen to him . He does nt even know what he s talking about .
Luis : What are you saying , that Alistair s not evil ? He s responsible for our own father s disappearance . That s just the beginning of it .
Antonio : I ve never seen anything to prove that .
Luis : Well , but that s exactly what I m telling you ! If you come to the dance tonight , you will see proof of that !
Sheridan : Antonio , I think we should go and see .
Antonio : No , no , Sheridan . Luis -- he s trying to turn you against everyone . He s trying to turn you against your family , your friends , everyone but him .
Luis : No , I m not . Antonio , come on , you re my own brother .
Antonio : Yeah , well , that s funny because you re trying to steal my wife . Come on , let s go .
Luis : Sheridan , please , come to the dance tonight , all right ? You ll see proof of everything that I ve been telling you .
Luis : At that dance , you ll see the proof . You ll be back in my arms where you belong .
Alistair : Oh , good , good . Captain , come in , come in .
Pilot : I got here as quickly as I could , Mr. Crane . It sounded urgent .
Alistair : It is . I hope no one saw you come in .
Pilot : I was careful .
Alistair : All right . I want a lear jet fueled and ready for takeoff immediately .
Pilot : Fine . I ll get to the hangar and get it ready to go .
Alistair : No , no , we wo nt be using the Harmony airport . Here are directions to another airport , a different hangar . Another one of my jets is there .
Pilot : May I ask where we re going , Mr. Crane ?
Alistair : I ll tell you once we re safely in the air . Of course , you ll have to use a bogus flight plan .
Pilot : Yes , sir .
Alistair : You should know that this is a one - way trip out of the country . We wo nt be coming back .
Pilot : I understand . I ll handle everything as discreetly as possible . But wherever we land , we ll have to deal with customs and immigration . I ll need your passport .
Alistair : Yes . Yes , ok , well , then here . Use this . Use this one .
Pilot : Not your U.S. Passport ?
Alistair : Unfortunately , my U.S. Passport is unavailable to me at the moment .
Pilot : What about your son ?
Alistair : Julian wo nt be coming with us .
Pilot : Thank you , sir .
Alistair : Someone has to take the fall , and since Julian made the grave mistake of turning against me , it s going to be him .
Pilar : Dios mio , not again .
Bailiff : All rise . Be seated .
Judge : I ve looked over the precedents . I ve taken your testimonies into account , and I ve given this a great deal of thought , and I have come to a decision .
Theresa s voice : Please , god , let me keep this child .
Kay : I m getting rid of Charity forever !
Tabitha : What are you going to do , kill her ?
Ethan : Oh , my god , pilar ! She s dead .
Eve : I ca nt find my son only to lose you . No , I ca nt !
