[ scene_break ] natalie : jessica 's rh is negative , and we know that because none of the family members could be a donor for her when she was sick . so nash probably had an rh positive . and marcie even said that rh disease is extremely rare in firstborn children , which makes it even less likely for starr 's baby to have had it . jared : but this was jessica 's second baby . natalie : no , her third , actually . she had a stillborn several years ago . jared : which makes it even more likely that that baby had a disease .

[ scene_break ] stacy : all i 'm looking for is a friendly place to stay , not a psychoanalysis . schuyler : i 'm not -- i 'm not going to throw my favorite ex out on the street , okay ? you 're welcome to stay as long as it takes you to get back on your feet . stacy : really ? schuyler : mi casa es su casa , evidently . stacy : all right . where 's the soda machine in this dump ? schuyler : soda machine -- down the hall , make a left . it 's around the corner . stacy : i 'll be right back . schuyler : okay . roxy : oh , what the hell are you doing here ? stacy : i live here . roxy : oh , really ? rex and gigi finally got wise and tossed you out with the trash ? yeah , good for them . stacy : `` oh , yeah `` -- that 's none of your business . roxy : honey , this is my place , and anything that happens in my place is my business . stacy : oh , yeah , that makes sense . well , at least i know who to sue in the morning when i wake up with bedbug bites . roxy : we do not have bedbugs here . [ phones ring ] stacy : hello , gigi ? gigi : i need to see you , stace . rex : hey , mom . roxy : mom ? ooh , you must be up to something . stacy : let me guess , you found out rex is a lying skirt - chaser , and now you want your little sister back . but guess what , that 's not -- gigi : it 's not about rex . it 's not about you . it 's not about me . roxy : what is it , rexy ? rex : it 's shane . he 's sick . [ scene_break ] roxy : oh , my baby . i am so sorry . tell me what 's wrong with shane . [ scene_break ] gigi : can i talk to you in here ? stacy : sure . [ scene_break ] roxy : listen , your mom is here , and everything 's going to be all right . you know that , right ? rex : yeah . yeah , we 're totally going to get through this . the thing is , i 'm going to need your help . [ scene_break ] gigi : i have to ask you a favor . and i realize you have every right to tell me to go to hell after i kicked you out this morning , but i 'm hoping you wo n't hold that against shane . stacy : what 's going on ? gigi : my kid is sick . he might need a bone marrow transplant , and for all we know , you could be a match , so i 'm just asking you if you could please -- stacy : done . i would never hold my nephew hostage over a misunderstanding . you obviously do n't know me that well , do you ? [ scene_break ] roxy : are you kidding ? that 's a no - brainer . of course , i 'll get tested . rex : thank you . ma , this means the world to me . roxy : have you told shane yet ? rex : we wanted to talk to you and stacy first . i do n't know -- roxy : you do n't know what ? rex : how am i supposed to tell him this ? i mean , i know i 'm supposed to be strong for my kid and for gigi , but what the hell ? leukemia ? roxy : shane is a tough kid . rex : i was n't even a dad a year ago , and now i might be losing my son ? how am i supposed to do this ? roxy : you know what you 're supposed to do ? you are supposed to get mad . you are supposed to get so pissed off that you ca n't even see straight . and when you -- rex : ma -- roxy : get mad like that , you ca n't be sad . and when you get mad like that , it 's a kind of energy that tells you exactly what you 're supposed to do . and you will find out what you have to do -- exactly what you have to do . you will do anything , and i mean anything , to protect your kid . [ scene_break ] clint : nora , bo , i 'm sorry i did n't get here earlier , but flying these days is a nightmare . nora : it 's okay . i 'm just glad you came . clint : so how is matthew doing ? he 's okay , is n't he ? [ scene_break ] jared : there are still some holes in this theory . natalie : but it explains what bess was doing at the hospital that night , and why starr 's healthy baby wound up dead . jared : okay , but how do you explain why that baby was left alone and in a position to be switched ? honestly , how could bess have pulled this off ? natalie : my uncle todd . jared : excuse me ? natalie : he admitted he was planning on stealing starr 's baby , so he took starr 's healthy baby -- this baby -- to dr. joplin 's office , and -- and then he changed his mind . okay , and what if his plan got screwed up before he scrapped it ? and what if the reason why was because of bess ? jared , there 's just so many more things i need to know before i figure this out . jared : no , no , no . no , you do n't , okay ? you do n't need to figure anything out . this could destroy jessica , and hurt this baby . natalie : i love my sister and i love chloe . i would never want to hurt them . jared : then let it go . [ scene_break ] brody : you think i should stick around , huh ? jessica : well , you just got released , right ? brody : yeah . jessica : and ... dr. levin warned you about making any big decisions about your life too soon . brody : sure . but i 'm going to have to decide something at some point . right now i do n't have much of a reason to stick around . jessica : well , you 're required to stay in treatment . that 's the deal you made with the da 's office , right ? brody : i do n't think they 'd be sad to see the last of me . jessica : well , what about shane ? he 's here . brody : shane 's not my son . i 'd just make that situation complicated . jessica : well , i 'm here . what about me ? [ scene_break ] natalie : jared , what are you thinking ? jared : jessica does n't remember a lot about what went on when she was tess , right ? natalie : right . jared : and nothing at all from when she was bess ? natalie : yeah . jared : yeah . well , then that 's got to mean one of two things -- either jessica knows chloe is not her baby and she 's been lying to all of us all this time ... or -- natalie : or what ? jared : or bess is still keeping that secret , and your sister is no more integrated than she was when she had us locked in that basement . [ scene_break ] starr : this is such a nightmare . marcie : i should n't have said anything . starr : no , you should 've . you did the right thing to tell me , but what am i supposed to do now ? our baby -- our baby died , and we accepted that . we had some type of peace , right ? what am i supposed to do now ? marcie : i do n't know , honey . starr : dr. joplin told us that it was my fault , that my blood poisoned my own baby , and now ? marcie : i know , i know . that 's why i decided that i had to tell you -- starr : what , it 's not true ? everything was wrong ? what am i supposed to do , wonder for the rest of my life how my baby died ? marcie : no , absolutely not , absolutely not . i promise you , one way or another , we are going to figure out what happened to hope . [ scene_break ] natalie : jessica would never ever lie about something so important . i mean , starr 's our cousin . she would never let starr go on thinking that her daughter is dead . jared : but bess or tess would . natalie : and i 'm living proof that tess does n't give a damn about family . and according to mom , the only reason bess exists is to protect jessica . i mean , damage to innocent bystanders would n't bother her any . so if bess went to the hospital that night and found hope all alone , she 'd switch those babies in a heartbeat . jared : you really think this happened , do n't you ? natalie : jared , i know something -- something happened that night . i just never , ever , ever imagined it would be something like this . jared : so what do we do about it ? [ scene_break ] michael : all right . we 've arranged for the lab to take your samples . gigi : this is all happening so fast . michael : yeah , it has to . all right , i 'll let you know if one of you is a suitable donor . roxy : the minute you know , okay ? michael : yeah , absolutely , the minute i know . gigi : what are the odds , michael ? michael : 70 % to 75 % of patients do not find viable donors within their family . typically , parents do n't have enough of the good markers . usually , siblings are the best donors . roxy : well , you two will get on that right away . michael : i mean , it 's not unheard of , but you know , the sooner we treat shane , the better . just do n't jump to conclusions , okay ? we may not even need a donor , all right ? and if we do need a donor , we may find one right here in this room , or on the national registry , okay ? right now is way too early to focus on worst case scenario . gigi : i wish my parents were still alive . what if one of them -- rex : my dad , too , but he 's dead . michael : getting these samples is simply about covering our bases . gigi : and after that ? michael : shane 's oncologist is taking a look at his test results right now , and as soon as he can , he 's going to come out and discuss shane 's treatment with you . michael : roxy , would you and stacy go with this nurse here , please ? she 'll handle your paperwork and get you swabbed . roxy : sure . michael : okay . stacy : no problem . rex : thank you . i ca n't tell you -- [ rex sniffles ] michael : i want you to bring shane in . gigi : today ? michael : yeah . i told you , we ca n't afford to waste any time . gigi : oh , god . how are we going to tell him ? [ scene_break ] nurse : does one of you want to go first ? roxy : i 'll do it . nurse : okay , follow me . doctor : lab results for a dr. mcbain . patient 's name is balsom . receptionist : i 'll see that he gets it right after my break . stacy : you really should lay off the sleeping pills , rex . neither you or gigi need to hear about this , now or ever . [ scene_break ] clint : are you seriously taking the word of just one doctor ? nora : clint -- bo : dr. shinseki 's done every test that he can . clint : wait a minute , if somebody told me that one of my kids was paralyzed for life , i would fire that person , go out and get a second opinion , a third opinion , a fourth , until i found somebody who believed in my kid . bo : do n't tell me that i 'm giving up on my son . clint : well , then do n't go in there and tell matthew he 's never going to walk again . nora : i do n't know how to put a positive spin on this , clint . clint : you do n't have to . you just tell him the odds , and then you tell him that all of us are going to help him -- even those odds . now , you give him a reason to fight . do n't tell him something so grim that he gives up without giving it a shot . all right , you do what you have to do . but i 'm going to start calling every specialist on the planet . [ scene_break ] marcie : you going to be okay , honey ? starr : it 's just a lot to handle . marcie : listen -- hey , we 're in this together . you remember that , all right ? okay . i 'll be praying for your mom . starr : thank you . marcie : and i will let you know anything that i find out , okay ? okay , honey . [ starr sighs ] [ scene_break ] jessica : i 'm pressuring you , and i should n't . you have to do what 's right for you , and what the hell do i know ? brody : a lot . you were the best thing that happened to me . during a rotten time , you kept me sane at st. ann 's . sane as psycho can be . jessica : still , i need to know when to quit , which is right now , so that 's why i 'm going to go . can you just do me a favor ? brody : name it . jessica : do n't leave without saying goodbye . i would -- i 'd be disappointed if i did n't get to say goodbye to you . brody : i 'd never do that . besides , i ca n't take off any time soon anyway . i made you a promise , remember ? [ jessica chuckles ] brody : ca n't bounce out without making sure you know how to throw a proper spiral . i have a feeling you throw like a girl . jessica : really ? huh , bring it on , then . [ scene_break ] jared : maybe we should go to somebody with this , like your mom or bo . natalie : and unleash this hell based on a hunch ? jared : sweetheart , even if we are wrong , something bad went down in this hospital that night with both those babies . and bess was right in the middle of it . natalie : and now we are , too . [ scene_break ] nurse : you 're up next . roxy : hold it a second , ms. ratched . would you say goodbye to rex and gigi for me ? stacy : you do n't want to -- roxy : no , listen , it 's very important . i got to go someplace and i just do n't want to leave them hanging , okay ? it 's important . just do it , okay ? and then we 'll be square . roxy : yes , hello . i need to see a patient in room 302 . yes , it is family , and it 's a matter of life and death . have you got that ? yes , the name is roxanne balsom . right . i 'm on my way . [ scene_break ] michael : hey . i want you to lean on me , man . okay , shane 's going to have questions that you 're not going to be able to answer . you and gigi are going to wake up in the middle of the night with questions . i want you to write them down , and we 'll talk about them the next time . rex : thank you . if we have to go through this , i 'm glad we 're doing it with you . michael : man , after what you did for me and marcie with tommy , this case is my top priority . just let me know if you want me to talk to him , okay ? [ scene_break ] matthew : jeez , it 's about time . what 's going on ? nora : we were -- we were just talking to dr. shinseki . matthew : tell me . [ scene_break ] shane : could n't this checkup have waited until after school ? and how many times do i have to tell you ? i 'm fine . [ shane exhales ] shane : see ? no wheezing . i mean , what 's the big deal ? rex : you see -- the thing is , when you were in the er last night , the doctors ran some tests . shane : for my asthma ? rex : yeah ... for that and for some other stuff . it 's just what ... doctors do . when the test results ... came back , they found something . [ scene_break ] roxy : it 's our grandson . he 's in big trouble and he needs our help . yeah , yours , too . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] schuyler : starr , what 's wrong ? what are you -- what are you doing here ? starr : schuyler . [ starr sniffles ] [ scene_break ] marcie : michael . michael : you 're still here ? what happened ? something happened . what is it ? marcie : i found out something about hope . [ scene_break ] natalie : do you realize that if we 're right , that means that starr and cole and marcie and michael -- they 've been -- they 've been mourning the death of a baby that 's right here in front of them the whole time ? [ scene_break ] brody : all right , so you palm the ball like this . all right , you 're going to take your aim , and you 're going to let the ball fall right off your fingers , okay ? let it go , perfect spiral . all right ? jessica : yeah . [ ball crashes ] [ scene_break ] natalie : but how do we tell jessica her baby , her -- her real baby ... is dead ? [ next_on ] rex : i am going to fight like hell to make sure nothing happens to my son . matthew : it 's not temporary , is it ? starr : whose is this ? jessica : we have to face this head - on .

bo and nora are told by the doctor that matthew is likely to be paralyzed for life and they should accept it . but they can not . clint overhears and tells them they can not give up on their son . he tells them he will get all the specialists he can find and they owe that much to matthew . marcie admits to starr that she 's found out that baby hope could not have died from rh disease . hearing that , starr is distraught not knowing what to do with the fact that it 's now an unsolved mystery that her baby died . meanwhile , natalie and jared figure out that it 's highly probably that tess or bess took starr 's baby out of the hospital and she is now the baby everybody believes is chloe , jessica 's baby died as she did not get medical care , and everybody is falsely believing that starr 's baby died when she is alive and well . and they do not know how to tell that to jessica . jessica and brody are getting closer . gigi and rex find out that shane has leukemia , needs a bone marrow transplant and they are dependent upon the rare chance that a family member could save his life . immediately they rush to the only living family members they have which are , respectively roxy and stacy . both of them rush to get tested . but it looks like stacy is more concerned about scamming rex and gigi and saving her own skin . starr rushes to schuyler after hearing the startling news about her baby .

<s>[INST] nora : good morning . how are you feeling ? matthew : i still ca n't feel my leg . nora : well , remember the doctor last night -- he said it was probably temporary . matthew : yeah , but -- i mean , it 's already morning now . how long is this going to take ? nora : well , a neurologist is going to come by , and i bet you we 'll get some answers then , i promise . doctor : mr. buchanan ? bo : dr. shinseki . dr. shinseki : i need to speak with you and ms. hanen . i have matthew 's test results . [ scene_break ] [ starr sighs ] marcie : starr . hi . starr : hi , marcie . marcie : how 's your mom doing , honey ? starr : they stopped her bleeding , and she 's breathing on her own . but because she has a head injury , they 're keeping her in a coma until it heals . marcie : but i -- she 's going to be all right , is n't she ? starr : we hope so . my aunt dorian 's in there with her right now . she 's better at getting answers from doctors than i am . marcie : so sorry . starr : did you hear the police arrested my dad ? they think he 's the one who did it . marcie : you do n't believe it , though , do you ? starr : all i know is that i have two brothers who are coming home tomorrow , and someone needs to break this all to them . marcie : okay , well , why not let your grandmother and your aunt dorian take the lead on this one ? starr : they trust me . marcie : no , i know . i know that they do . i know what an amazing big sister you are , but no matter how mature you are -- and you are -- you know , you 're still a kid yourself . this is happening to you , too , you know ? for once in your life , will you please let the adults handle this ? [ scene_break ] brody : what are you thinking ? jessica : i do n't know . i do n't like the idea of you living in a room that your friend wes died in . come home with me . roxy : gee , i did n't know you were wes ' friend . i wish i had another room . brody : i 'll be okay . jessica : okay . i 'm going to need you to spruce it up a little bit in here . another coat of paint . roxy : yeah , no problem . jessica : it needs to be cleaned from top to bottom . roxy : yeah , i 'll send housekeeping up . i already got rid of the mattress . jessica : right . and i think you should knock another hundred bucks off the rent . roxy : all right , all right , already . all right , i ca n't go any lower than that . leave it to a would - be tenant to not know that the economy is in a major regression . brody : you drive a hard bargain . jessica : you know , brody , i mean it . i do n't like the idea of you living here , and there 's plenty of room at my mom 's , and -- and you should be standing on your own two feet , and i 'm going to sit down and be quiet . brody : you do n't have to baby - sit me , jess . you have two little kids who need your undivided attention . [ scene_break ] natalie : i think i know what bess was doing at the hospital that night . the night bess came to the hospital , she took jessica 's baby to dr. joplin 's office . jared : marcie just said that 's where starr 's baby was taken . natalie : who supposedly died of rh disease . but both cole and starr have the same rh factors , so if hope did n't die of rh disease -- jared : something else must have killed her . natalie : or -- jared : oh , do n't . do n't say it . it -- natalie : i have to . what if starr 's baby was n't sick ? what if it was jessica 's baby that was sick ? god , jared ... what if bess switched the babies ? [ scene_break ] schuyler : i do n't think this co - habitation thing is going to work . stacy : why is that ? afraid you 're not going to be able to keep your hands off me ? schuyler : no , no . actually , i 'm afraid that we 're going to cramp each other 's styles . i have a lot of things to do , okay ? i 've got papers to grade . i 've got lessons to plan , assuming i 'm not fired . stacy : fired ? schuyler : you know , it 's just -- it 's not going to work , okay ? stacy : i 'll stay out of your way , i promise . schuyler : one or two nights , maybe . maybe . stacy : come on , you 'll be doing me a big favor here , okay ? i do n't have any other options . it 's either you or it 's a cardboard box on the side of the road . schuyler : you know , stacy , you -- you never said why your sister kicked you out . what did you do ? stacy : what makes you think i did anything ? schuyler : i do n't know -- a decade of knowing you . stacy : okay , she thinks i made a move on her baby daddy . she 's always making something out of nothing , though . [ scene_break ] gigi : leukemia ? shane ? michael : yeah . look , the car accident is actually a blessing in disguise . [ gigi gasps ] michael : if shane does n't come into the er , then maybe we do n't catch this in time . gigi : leukemia -- that 's cancer . michael : acute lymphoblastic leukemia -- it 's the most common form found in children . [ gigi sobs ] gigi : i do n't get it . he 's not even sick . michael : no -- gigi : rex , he 's not sick . michael : i know it appears that way , but his white cell count is through the roof . we need to do a bone marrow biopsy to be 100 % sure , but the blood smear that i did is pretty convincing . i 'm so sorry . i know this is -- this is a huge blow . rex : so how sick is he ? michael : at this point , even the mildest infection could be catastrophic . gigi : wait . wait . you 're saying shane is so sick he could die ? [ scene_break ] starr : i 've been practicing what i 'm going to say to them . i can imagine them looking at me , kind of like i imagine hope sometimes . marcie : yeah , as a 2-year - old or a 6-year - old or a 9-year - old . i do the same thing , you know ? i do . you talk to hope ? yeah ? i just do n't know if it helps or not , really . starr : no , it does . it helps . me having this every day -- it 's just a constant reminder that she was here ... even though it was for just a little while . marcie , i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . marcie : no , no , no . you -- i was -- please , i was already upset , really . starr : why ? marcie : i do n't know if telling you this is the right thing . i found out something about our baby . i found out something about hope . [ scene_break ] jared : do you know what you 're saying ? natalie : yeah . yeah , we 're talking about this little baby here , this little girl that we both love very much . and jared , look , i know -- if this all sounds completely ridiculous when i 'm done , we 'll just forget i ever said it . jared : people do n't do stuff like this . natalie : tess would . she was going into labor when she left us in the basement . and not just any old labor . she was -- she was in trouble . okay , so she goes to the cottage to give birth , and then something bad happens . i mean , something very bad must have happened for bess to come out and take control . jared : like losing her baby ? natalie : so , what if bess brought a dying baby to this hospital and took home a healthy baby ? starr 's baby . [ scene_break ] jessica : you know , i just -- i do n't like the idea of you living in this room alone . do you want me to leave ? brody : no . i just do n't want to sink any money into this place . especially since i do n't have any . jessica : well , hey , my family has a lot of pull in this town . i 'm sure they will be able to find a qualified guy like you a job . brody : trained seal with documented mental instability ? i do n't even think the buchanans could get job offers for someone like that . jessica : you 're a vet , and that matters to people . brody : my meltdown was front - page news in this town . maybe it 's a mistake for me to stay here in llanview . jessica : no , it would be a bigger mistake if you left . [ scene_break ] stacy : so then she accused me of drugging rex . i mean , come on , like i would slip a mickey to anyone . schuyler : um , stace , it 's me you 're talking to , okay ? you and i both know what you 're capable of . stacy : okay , that was a long time ago , and you were n't a saint either . schuyler : true . stacy : i mean , why would i go after rex anyway ? schuyler : oh , i do n't know . maybe to screw your sister ? stacy : huh , no , he 's not worth it , believe me . he 's just a dreamer who 's never going to make any money in his life . that loser wears his heart on his sleeve . schuyler : huh . you know , you used to say things like that to me . you would n't be reminded of him by me , would you ? stacy : what ? schuyler : i do n't think rex is just some random guy . i think rex is the guy you 've been pining over all this time . [ scene_break ] michael : there is hope , okay ? leukemia is no longer the automatic death sentence that it used to be . there have been enormous strides in treatment in the last 20 years . but it can be fatal , right , and given shane 's numbers , we 're going to want to pursue an aggressive line of treatment as soon as possible . gigi : my god . rex : what does that mean -- aggressive ? michael : that 's going to be up to shane 's oncologist , but he 's probably going to want to get him into chemotherapy right away . gigi : chemo ? michael : yes , it 's going to be our first line of attack , okay ? and since we want to be prepared for any additional avenue of treatment , we 're going to search the national registry for a possible stem cell donor . gigi : he 's going to need a transplant ? michael : it 's a possibility , yes , if everything else fails , okay ? so i suggest that you guys go out and you round up everyone that you can . okay , and the more blood relatives , the better . our best hope for finding a suitable donor is a family member . and he 's most certainly going to need blood . rex : we 'll call everyone we know . michael : i 'm so sorry , you guys . i -- i hate giving this news to you . okay , but please do not give up hope . i 'm going to give you guys a few minutes alone , all right ? be right back . [ gigi cries ] gigi : we ca n't lose my baby . rex : we wo n't . i wo n't let that happen . [ scene_break ] bo : how 's it going , bud ? matthew : all right . i just ca n't wait to get out of here . this food sucks . bo : oh . well , we 'll see what we can do about that . got a minute ? nora : yeah . be right back . bo : dr. shinseki has some news for us . nora : oh , well , should n't we include matthew in this ? dr. shinseki : well , in my experience , younger patients have an easier time accepting news like this when their parents already understand the situation . nora : `` news like this `` -- well , that does n't sound very good . dr. shinseki : no , i 'm afraid it 's not what we hope for . bo : well , just tell us what we 're looking at . dr. shinseki : matthew sustained direct compression to the top of his head , causing the c3 and c4 vertebrae to dislocate . as a result , he suffered what 's known as an `` axial loading injury , `` or a severe trauma to his spinal cord . now , we 're lucky the cord was neither severed nor crushed by the blow . but the fact remains that the swelling has begun to subside , but with no return of sensation below the waist . bo : he 's paralyzed . you 're saying ... there 's no way matthew could come back from this ? dr. shinseki : with a committed regimen of physical and occupational therapy , your son could regain limited sensitivity . nora : sensitivity ? dr. shinseki : but since he has n't regained any movement in over 12 hours , i 'd say the odds that he 'll walk again are slim . nora : but there are odds ? dr. shinseki : this injury is not the end of the world for matthew . it wo n't stop him from becoming a productive member of society or from leading a fulfilling life . nora : he 's an athlete . he 's an active , physical kid . dr. shinseki : matthew can still be active . he can still be an athlete if he chooses to , but it 's an adjustment that will take time and effort . the hospital 's here for him . we 'll provide counselors to guide him through the transition and beyond , but the two of you will be his most effective champions . i 'm going to give you a few minutes to digest this , and then i 'll be back so we can all speak with matthew together . [ scene_break ] jared : how in the name of god could this have happened ? [ scene_break ] starr : just say it . what are you trying to tell me ? marcie : okay , look , i found out some information about cole . starr : about cole ? information ? what happened ? marcie : nothing , nothing , nothing . he 's totally fine . it was totally by accident . i just -- i caught up with michael in his lab office , and cole 's latest file was on top of a desk , and so were his lab results . starr : is there something wrong with him ? marcie : no , no . oh , no , honey , this is n't about cole , no . but it 's about hope . what i was able to put together is that she did n't die the way that they told us . there 's no way she could have had rh disease . [ scene_break ] natalie : the autopsy on hope lists the cause of death as rh disease . but for that to be true , starr and cole would have to have opposite rh factors . [ scene_break ] marcie : if cole is rh negative and so are you , then hope had to have been , too . she should have been fine , starr . she should have been healthy . [ scene_break ] natalie : jessica 's rh is negative , and we know that because none of the family members could be a donor for her when she was sick . so nash probably had an rh positive . and marcie even said that rh disease is extremely rare in firstborn children , which makes it even less likely for starr 's baby to have had it . jared : but this was jessica 's second baby . natalie : no , her third , actually . she had a stillborn several years ago . jared : which makes it even more likely that that baby had a disease . [ scene_break ] starr : but if hope did n't die of rh disease , why did the autopsy say so ? how did my baby die ? marcie : i do n't know . i do n't know , but i promise you that i 'm going to get michael to look into this , okay , because that autopsy is wrong . [ scene_break ] natalie : the autopsy 's right , just right about the wrong baby . [ scene_break ] [ gigi cries ] gigi : shane always gets bruises . i just think -- he 's a kid . it 's normal wear and tear . what am i going to do , miss work ? skip a payment on the electric so i can write them to the doctor every time he has a bruise ? rex : we 'll figure this out . gigi : he 's been having such a hard time getting out of the bed lately , and i thought it was just because he wanted to skip school . rex : you ca n't blame yourself . gigi : sure i can ! how long has he had this ? leukemia ? freaking leukemia . god , how did i miss it ? what kind of mother does this make me ? rex : geege . gigi : oh , my god , it could n't have just been the asthma . no , that would have been too easy -- could n't have just been the out - of - nowhere not breathing , the drowning in air , hoping i did n't misplace the inhaler and please do n't let it be empty because my son ca n't breathe -- it had to be leukemia , too ! what are we going to do , rex ? rex : we are going to do what you have done the past 11 years . we 're going to roll with this punch . we are going to get back up and we 're going to beat it . gigi : okay . rex : only this time , you 're not going to be by yourself . you 're going to have me . we are going to get through this for our son , okay ? we are going to do it together . [ scene_break ] stacy : all i 'm looking for is a friendly place to stay , not a psychoanalysis . schuyler : i 'm not -- i 'm not going to throw my favorite ex out on the street , okay ? you 're welcome to stay as long as it takes you to get back on your feet . stacy : really ? schuyler : mi casa es su casa , evidently . stacy : all right . where 's the soda machine in this dump ? schuyler : soda machine -- down the hall , make a left . it 's around the corner . stacy : i 'll be right back . schuyler : okay . roxy : oh , what the hell are you doing here ? stacy : i live here . roxy : oh , really ? rex and gigi finally got wise and tossed you out with the trash ? yeah , good for them . stacy : `` oh , yeah `` -- that 's none of your business . roxy : honey , this is my place , and anything that happens in my place is my business . stacy : oh , yeah , that makes sense . well , at least i know who to sue in the morning when i wake up with bedbug bites . roxy : we do not have bedbugs here . [ phones ring ] stacy : hello , gigi ? gigi : i need to see you , stace . rex : hey , mom . roxy : mom ? ooh , you must be up to something . stacy : let me guess , you found out rex is a lying skirt - chaser , and now you want your little sister back . but guess what , that 's not -- gigi : it 's not about rex . it 's not about you . it 's not about me . roxy : what is it , rexy ? rex : it 's shane . he 's sick . [ scene_break ] roxy : oh , my baby . i am so sorry . tell me what 's wrong with shane . [ scene_break ] gigi : can i talk to you in here ? stacy : sure . [ scene_break ] roxy : listen , your mom is here , and everything 's going to be all right . you know that , right ? rex : yeah . yeah , we 're totally going to get through this . the thing is , i 'm going to need your help . [ scene_break ] gigi : i have to ask you a favor . and i realize you have every right to tell me to go to hell after i kicked you out this morning , but i 'm hoping you wo n't hold that against shane . stacy : what 's going on ? gigi : my kid is sick . he might need a bone marrow transplant , and for all we know , you could be a match , so i 'm just asking you if you could please -- stacy : done . i would never hold my nephew hostage over a misunderstanding . you obviously do n't know me that well , do you ? [ scene_break ] roxy : are you kidding ? that 's a no - brainer . of course , i 'll get tested . rex : thank you . ma , this means the world to me . roxy : have you told shane yet ? rex : we wanted to talk to you and stacy first . i do n't know -- roxy : you do n't know what ? rex : how am i supposed to tell him this ? i mean , i know i 'm supposed to be strong for my kid and for gigi , but what the hell ? leukemia ? roxy : shane is a tough kid . rex : i was n't even a dad a year ago , and now i might be losing my son ? how am i supposed to do this ? roxy : you know what you 're supposed to do ? you are supposed to get mad . you are supposed to get so pissed off that you ca n't even see straight . and when you -- rex : ma -- roxy : get mad like that , you ca n't be sad . and when you get mad like that , it 's a kind of energy that tells you exactly what you 're supposed to do . and you will find out what you have to do -- exactly what you have to do . you will do anything , and i mean anything , to protect your kid . [ scene_break ] clint : nora , bo , i 'm sorry i did n't get here earlier , but flying these days is a nightmare . nora : it 's okay . i 'm just glad you came . clint : so how is matthew doing ? he 's okay , is n't he ? [ scene_break ] jared : there are still some holes in this theory . natalie : but it explains what bess was doing at the hospital that night , and why starr 's healthy baby wound up dead . jared : okay , but how do you explain why that baby was left alone and in a position to be switched ? honestly , how could bess have pulled this off ? natalie : my uncle todd . jared : excuse me ? natalie : he admitted he was planning on stealing starr 's baby , so he took starr 's healthy baby -- this baby -- to dr. joplin 's office , and -- and then he changed his mind . okay , and what if his plan got screwed up before he scrapped it ? and what if the reason why was because of bess ? jared , there 's just so many more things i need to know before i figure this out . jared : no , no , no . no , you do n't , okay ? you do n't need to figure anything out . this could destroy jessica , and hurt this baby . natalie : i love my sister and i love chloe . i would never want to hurt them . jared : then let it go . [ scene_break ] brody : you think i should stick around , huh ? jessica : well , you just got released , right ? brody : yeah . jessica : and ... dr. levin warned you about making any big decisions about your life too soon . brody : sure . but i 'm going to have to decide something at some point . right now i do n't have much of a reason to stick around . jessica : well , you 're required to stay in treatment . that 's the deal you made with the da 's office , right ? brody : i do n't think they 'd be sad to see the last of me . jessica : well , what about shane ? he 's here . brody : shane 's not my son . i 'd just make that situation complicated . jessica : well , i 'm here . what about me ? [ scene_break ] natalie : jared , what are you thinking ? jared : jessica does n't remember a lot about what went on when she was tess , right ? natalie : right . jared : and nothing at all from when she was bess ? natalie : yeah . jared : yeah . well , then that 's got to mean one of two things -- either jessica knows chloe is not her baby and she 's been lying to all of us all this time ... or -- natalie : or what ? jared : or bess is still keeping that secret , and your sister is no more integrated than she was when she had us locked in that basement . [ scene_break ] starr : this is such a nightmare . marcie : i should n't have said anything . starr : no , you should 've . you did the right thing to tell me , but what am i supposed to do now ? our baby -- our baby died , and we accepted that . we had some type of peace , right ? what am i supposed to do now ? marcie : i do n't know , honey . starr : dr. joplin told us that it was my fault , that my blood poisoned my own baby , and now ? marcie : i know , i know . that 's why i decided that i had to tell you -- starr : what , it 's not true ? everything was wrong ? what am i supposed to do , wonder for the rest of my life how my baby died ? marcie : no , absolutely not , absolutely not . i promise you , one way or another , we are going to figure out what happened to hope . [ scene_break ] natalie : jessica would never ever lie about something so important . i mean , starr 's our cousin . she would never let starr go on thinking that her daughter is dead . jared : but bess or tess would . natalie : and i 'm living proof that tess does n't give a damn about family . and according to mom , the only reason bess exists is to protect jessica . i mean , damage to innocent bystanders would n't bother her any . so if bess went to the hospital that night and found hope all alone , she 'd switch those babies in a heartbeat . jared : you really think this happened , do n't you ? natalie : jared , i know something -- something happened that night . i just never , ever , ever imagined it would be something like this . jared : so what do we do about it ? [ scene_break ] michael : all right . we 've arranged for the lab to take your samples . gigi : this is all happening so fast . michael : yeah , it has to . all right , i 'll let you know if one of you is a suitable donor . roxy : the minute you know , okay ? michael : yeah , absolutely , the minute i know . gigi : what are the odds , michael ? michael : 70 % to 75 % of patients do not find viable donors within their family . typically , parents do n't have enough of the good markers . usually , siblings are the best donors . roxy : well , you two will get on that right away . michael : i mean , it 's not unheard of , but you know , the sooner we treat shane , the better . just do n't jump to conclusions , okay ? we may not even need a donor , all right ? and if we do need a donor , we may find one right here in this room , or on the national registry , okay ? right now is way too early to focus on worst case scenario . gigi : i wish my parents were still alive . what if one of them -- rex : my dad , too , but he 's dead . michael : getting these samples is simply about covering our bases . gigi : and after that ? michael : shane 's oncologist is taking a look at his test results right now , and as soon as he can , he 's going to come out and discuss shane 's treatment with you . michael : roxy , would you and stacy go with this nurse here , please ? she 'll handle your paperwork and get you swabbed . roxy : sure . michael : okay . stacy : no problem . rex : thank you . i ca n't tell you -- [ rex sniffles ] michael : i want you to bring shane in . gigi : today ? michael : yeah . i told you , we ca n't afford to waste any time . gigi : oh , god . how are we going to tell him ?

[ scene_break ] clint : are you seriously taking the word of just one doctor ? nora : clint -- bo : dr. shinseki 's done every test that he can . clint : wait a minute , if somebody told me that one of my kids was paralyzed for life , i would fire that person , go out and get a second opinion , a third opinion , a fourth , until i found somebody who believed in my kid . bo : do n't tell me that i 'm giving up on my son . clint : well , then do n't go in there and tell matthew he 's never going to walk again . nora : i do n't know how to put a positive spin on this , clint . clint : you do n't have to . you just tell him the odds , and then you tell him that all of us are going to help him -- even those odds . now , you give him a reason to fight . do n't tell him something so grim that he gives up without giving it a shot . all right , you do what you have to do . but i 'm going to start calling every specialist on the planet .

ethan : he can try . julian : ah , here they are , my praetorian guard . guard : you called for us , mr. crane ? julian : yes . i want her removed from the premises immediately . liz : you 're a failure , eve . all you do is let down the people in your life . you 're a failure as a sister , as a daughter . you 're a failure as a mother , and you 're a total failure as a wife . eve : my husband loves me , and so do my daughters . liz : oh , please , eve , do n't delude yourself . eve : you 're just bitter because you have nobody and nothing ! liz : well , i 'm about to rectify that , eve . i am going to take over your life . and very soon , i will be the lady of this house , and i will make my bed with t.c . eve : no . liz : and you will be back in the gutter where you belong . eve : it 's never going to happen . liz : this is n't the first family that you ruined , eve . you torn ours apart , too . do you remember that ? how could you forget ? how could you forget how you broke our mama 's heart ? eve : i did n't mean to . god knows , i -- i did n't mean to . liz : oh -- oh , please , i have heard that all before . eve : i was just trying to help her . liz : `` help `` ? all you did was help ruin her life ! all of our lives ! do you remember what you did , eve ? when you were a teenager ? do you remember that ? t.c . : just the idea of whitney and simone pregnant -- underage girls pregnant -- their lives are over even before they begin . they never reach their full potential . sam : that 's what worries me about kay . t.c . : all of their hopes , all of their dreams are diminished . they go from dressing up for the prom to -- to living hand and mouth on food stamps in just a few couple of months . there 's no way i 'm going to let that happen to my girls . no way , sam ! sam : look , i know chad was a little rough around the edges when he first came to town , but he seems to have turned his life around . t.c . : chad only pretended to have middle - class values , sam . he is nothing but a punk from the streets . he has no morals , no values , no nothing . he does n't care about anything but having fun . sam : you think chad is that irresponsible ? t.c . : sam , he 's only out for himself . whatever he can beg , borrow , or steal . i mean , i knew that when i first saw him . sam : i thought you changed your mind about him . you were letting him date simone . t.c . : eve and simone swayed me . i mean , i should have went with my first impression . simone was so happy . now she 's miserable because her relationship with her sister has been destroyed , and it 's all because of chad ! i am not going to let him ruin our lives like that . and i wo n't let my daughters have an unplanned pregnancy . whitney 's career will not be destroyed by a pregnancy . i will not let chad do that ! and if he ever comes around this house again , i will kill him ! whitney : what 's going to happen to us , chad ? how are we ever going to be together now ? chad : hey , we will be together . no matter what we have to do , i will make sure of it . whitney : i hope so . chad : believe it . whitney : all i know is that right now i feel so alone . and i just do n't know if anything is ever going to go right for us . chad : ok , look , that 's it . i know your father does n't want me over there , but i 'm coming over . whitney : what , here ? chad : yeah . i do n't want you feeling lonely . look , i love you . so i 'm coming over there right now and i 'm going to hold you in my arms . whitney : no -- ok , you know how angry my dad gets . you know what kind of temper he has . if he sees you here , he 's going to kill you . chad : look , i do n't want you going through this alone . i 'm going to be there for you . we 'll find a way to make your father understand how much we love each other . i 'm sure of it . guard : let 's go , ma'am . theresa : no , you ca n't throw me out , ok ? you work for me , too . guard : mr. crane ? julian : to date , there have been three mrs. julian cranes and one julian crane -- moi . now , who do you think is going to continue to live in this mansion paying your salary ? me or theresa ? fox : it 's not going to happen , guys . ethan : look , this is her house and we are not going to allow you to kick her out of it . julian : i am ordering you to oust this thing ! ethan : guys , you leave theresa the hell alone . beth : it 's like this , antonio . luis and sheridan are -- nurse : excuse me . antonio , i 'm sorry , but i need to check your vitals and give you your medication . antonio : could n't it wait ? i 'm in the middle of an important conversation . nurse : i 'm sorry . it 's really important that you get your medication on time , so i 'm going to have to ask you to step outside . beth : oh . yes , of course . beth : talk about making it up as i go along . but now what ? how do i keep antonio and sheridan together so i still have a shot at luis ? yeah , that 's a good question , beth . and you better think of something fast or you 're going to lose luis forever . singer : you are my passion for life sam : look , i can understand your anger at chad . all right ? i was mad as hell at miguel . i still am . t.c . : sam , i 'm sorry . here i am going off about my family , and you have to deal with kay being pregnant . sam : no , do n't worry about it . you know , it 's funny . i 'm a cop . i 'm supposed to be able to spot trouble . with kay and miguel , i must have missed all the signs . you know , maybe if i had paid more attention to kay , she would n't be in this situation . t.c . : sam , it 's done now , ok ? do n't blame yourself . sam : all grace and i can do for kay right now is just be the e for her every step of the way , even if she fights us . t.c . : you know what , man ? if someone was to tell me that this would happen to your family , i would laugh in their faces . sam : so would i. i have to admit , i never thought that whitney and simone would ever be in this kind of trouble . and your girls always seemed so centered , and you and eve have a perfect family . t.c . : you know , i ca n't believe anything like this is happening to me , either . but i 'm going to start damage control . i 'm going to make sure there 's no negative impact on whitney 's tennis career . eve is talking to her now . i just hope that she can make her listen to reason . eve : i do n't want to talk about this , liz . liz : oh , well , that 's too bad , eve , because i want you to remember what you did to our family . everything was perfect , eve , until you ruined it . do you remember that ? every sunday , we 'd all walk over to our church -- you , me , mama . all our aunts and cousins would pack the place . and we 'd be so proud when you 'd file in with the church choir . [ choir sings ] liz : you had such a gift , a wonderful voice . they always gave you solos . young eve : light of mine singers : i 'm going to let it shine young eve : this little light of mine , oh singers : i 'm going to let it shine young eve : this little light of mine , oh singers : i 'm going to let it shine let it shine let it shine let it shine liz : remember how mama used to beam at you , bursting with pride ? singers : i 'm going to let it shine young eve : hide it under a bushel , no singers : i 'm going to let it shine young eve : oh , hide it under a bushel , no singers : i 'm going to let it shine let it shine let it shine let it shine liz : remember the day you came home with that record ? eve : mama , you 've got to see this . liz : you 'd been out with friends and you had this big smile on your face . but mama wiped it off when she grabbed that record from you . mama read you the riot act , told you the only place for singing was in god 's house , to praise him , bring him to glory . eve 's mother : do n't you ever let me catch you bringing filth like that in my house again . the only music worth singing is the lord 's music . sing his praises ! do you ever hear me singing anything but hymns ? do you , girl ? eve : no , mama . liz : she said singing outside the church to entertain people , singing rock ' n ' roll and jazz and whatever was a sin , that the gift god gave you was only to be used in church in praise of the lord . eve 's mother : you will never debase his gift with that trash ! liz : you did n't listen to mama , did you ? and you see what happened ? you destroyed our family . sheridan : luis , i 'm just still not sure that this is the right time . luis : sheridan , beth has had plenty of time to talk to antonio . now , if she has n't prepared him by now -- sheridan : but that 's just it . what if he 's not prepared ? luis : there 's only one way to find out . sheridan , well , i know that this is difficult for you , but we 've put it off long enough . sheridan : just looking at his face , knowing that we 're going to hurt him , that we 're going to destroy everything that he believes is his future , his life . luis : sheridan , you know how i feel about hurting my brother , but we ca n't go back now . antonio will be hurt . we just have to accept that . i want to start a life with you . i want to start our life together without the lies , without hiding our relationship . sheridan , come on . antonio 's healthy now . he can handle hearing the truth . we 've got to tell him now before something else stops us . nurse : here you go -- the test results for the lopez fitzgerald 's ' case . second nurse : oh , right . thank you . what ? first nurse : i know . i was surprised they ordered the test , but i guess it 's standard procedure . second nurse : when the lopez fitzgerald 's see these results , it 's going to shock the heck out of them . eve : i do n't want to relive the mistakes of my past . liz : oh . i 've just started , sissy . before i am finished , you are going to remember every detail . after church , all our aunts and cousins would come over and we 'd cook sunday dinner together . it was the warmest , most loving , most fun time . but you ruined all that , did n't you , eve ? you just could n't do what mama said . you were selfish , did whatever you wanted . eve : is that ham about ready , because it sure smells so good . eve 's mother : that would be the pineapple -- liz : and because you defied her , you broke mama 's heart . eve 's mother : and the guests get served first . you hear me ? eve : mm - hmm .

[ alistair chuckles ] alistair : all right , julian . tell me the story , and it had better be a bloody good one . julian : oh , it is , father . it truly is . sheridan : you 're right . no more putting it off . we have to tell antonio . luis : hey , i 'm going to be with you every step of the way for the rest of our lives . all right ? and you know i love you more than anything else in this world , right ? sheridan i love you , too . luis : so let 's go tell antonio . all right ? let 's start this healing process . sheridan : ok . antonio : so is that it ? are we finished ? nurse : yes , that 's it . antonio : beth ? beth : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm right here , antonio . antonio : so go ahead , tell me the truth . tell me the secret that luis and sheridan are keeping from me . oh , there you two are . glad you showed up . beth was just getting ready to tell me what 's going on , but since you guys are here , why do n't you tell me what the secret is that you guys are keeping from me . sheridan : you did n't prepare him ? beth : i did n't really have time . antonio : damn it . will somebody just tell me what 's going on ? luis : yeah , we 're going to tell you everything , all right ? right now . nurse : this family 's really been through the mill . i do n't know how they 're going to react when they hear this . eve : i only sang in the nightclub so that i could make some money . we needed every nickel . in case you forgot , we were dirt poor . we barely had enough money for food . i thought i was helping out ! i was trying to help mama ! i was trying to help you ! liz : do n't you get it , eve ? money is not what life is about . having a loving , supportive family is . that meant everything to mama ! you destroyed her . you destroyed us . after you disgraced mama , none of our family ever came to our house again . you ruined mama 's life . she was left with nothing after that , not even gospel music . her soul was dead . liz : but as they say , what goes around comes around . and it is coming all the way around back to you , eve . you 're being paid back for what you did to mama , to all of us . eve : i did n't know . i did n't know . liz : your family is being torn apart , eve . how does it feel ? painful , is n't it ? feel the pain , eve . feel it just like mama did .

antonio : yes , and i want you to tell me . tell me the truth , beth . tell me what 's going on . i want to know . beth : all right . all right , antonio . you 're right . it 's time you knew the truth . so i 'm going to tell you . and after you hear this , you 'll understand about our futures with luis and sheridan . make the decision . we must assume they have the best interests of society at heart . then there is the case of the hockey coach with m.s . , who got a $ 150 parking ticket . that incident has been reviewed and the ticket cancelled . neither of these decisions came easy . whitney : but what i ca n't stop thinking about is the way that it all came out . i mean , it could n't be any more horrible -- simone walking in on us making love , and then for her to tell daddy about us . chad : i wish this could have been dealt with differently . but we just have to live with it . whitney : but my father still believes that you ' t trying to take advantage of me and simone , that you 're trying to manipulate your way into our family . chad : look , i 'll tell you , that really ticked me off . i mean , i would never do something like that . whitney : i know that . he just does n't understand what a wonderful person you are and that i really do love you . chad : well , he 's not going to understand you missing this tournament , either . whitney : well , he 's not . he already got mad at my mom for agreeing that i could withdraw today . chad : what a mess . whitney : i feel really terrible about this . and , you know , i do n't want to let my dad down , but there 's a part of him that just does n't see this as a real problem . he thinks that this is n't going to affect my tennis career at all , and certainly not in the long run . chad : look , there 's no reason you ca n't play tennis and have a relationship , too . whitney : yeah , well , he does n't believe that . i 'm afraid that he 's never going to forgive you and that he 's going to try to keep us apart forever . sam : so simone and whitney are both in love with chad . t.c . : sisters . both of my daughters are in love with the same guy . it 's not a good thing , sam . sam : i can understand . i mean , we 've got a similar situation in our house . kay and charity -- cousins , not sisters -- but they 're both in love with miguel . kay is pregnant with his baby . t.c . : at least my daughters are n't pregnant . and they 're not going to be pregnant . there 's no way i 'm going to let anything like that happen to my family . i 'll make sure of that . ethan : i will fight you on this one , julian . julian : but you have nothing to fight with . ethan : i will file an injunction so theresa can stay here in the mansion . julian : well , be my guest , but you 'll be wasting your time . ethan : you have shown no proof to your claim that you and theresa are not married . julian : and if you persist in this , i will personally make the calls and use crane influence to guarantee that no judge will accept any injunction you may file . theresa : he ca n't do that , can he , ethan ? ethan : he can try . julian : ah , here they are , my praetorian guard . guard : you called for us , mr. crane ? julian : yes . i want her removed from the premises immediately . liz : you 're a failure , eve . all you do is let down the people in your life . you 're a failure as a sister , as a daughter . you 're a failure as a mother , and you 're a total failure as a wife . eve : my husband loves me , and so do my daughters . liz : oh , please , eve , do n't delude yourself . eve : you 're just bitter because you have nobody and nothing ! liz : well , i 'm about to rectify that , eve . i am going to take over your life . and very soon , i will be the lady of this house , and i will make my bed with t.c . eve : no . liz : and you will be back in the gutter where you belong . eve : it 's never going to happen . liz : this is n't the first family that you ruined , eve . you torn ours apart , too . do you remember that ? how could you forget ? how could you forget how you broke our mama 's heart ? eve : i did n't mean to . god knows , i -- i did n't mean to . liz : oh -- oh , please , i have heard that all before . eve : i was just trying to help her . liz : `` help `` ? all you did was help ruin her life ! all of our lives ! do you remember what you did , eve ? when you were a teenager ? do you remember that ? t.c . : just the idea of whitney and simone pregnant -- underage girls pregnant -- their lives are over even before they begin . they never reach their full potential . sam : that 's what worries me about kay . t.c . : all of their hopes , all of their dreams are diminished . they go from dressing up for the prom to -- to living hand and mouth on food stamps in just a few couple of months . there 's no way i 'm going to let that happen to my girls . no way , sam ! sam : look , i know chad was a little rough around the edges when he first came to town , but he seems to have turned his life around . t.c . : chad only pretended to have middle - class values , sam . he is nothing but a punk from the streets . he has no morals , no values , no nothing . he does n't care about anything but having fun . sam : you think chad is that irresponsible ? t.c . : sam , he 's only out for himself . whatever he can beg , borrow , or steal . i mean , i knew that when i first saw him . sam : i thought you changed your mind about him . you were letting him date simone . t.c . : eve and simone swayed me . i mean , i should have went with my first impression . simone was so happy . now she 's miserable because her relationship with her sister has been destroyed , and it 's all because of chad ! i am not going to let him ruin our lives like that . and i wo n't let my daughters have an unplanned pregnancy . whitney 's career will not be destroyed by a pregnancy . i will not let chad do that ! and if he ever comes around this house again , i will kill him ! whitney : what 's going to happen to us , chad ? how are we ever going to be together now ? chad : hey , we will be together . no matter what we have to do , i will make sure of it . whitney : i hope so . chad : believe it . whitney : all i know is that right now i feel so alone . and i just do n't know if anything is ever going to go right for us . chad : ok , look , that 's it . i know your father does n't want me over there , but i 'm coming over . whitney : what , here ? chad : yeah . i do n't want you feeling lonely . look , i love you . so i 'm coming over there right now and i 'm going to hold you in my arms . whitney : no -- ok , you know how angry my dad gets . you know what kind of temper he has . if he sees you here , he 's going to kill you . chad : look , i do n't want you going through this alone . i 'm going to be there for you . we 'll find a way to make your father understand how much we love each other . i 'm sure of it . guard : let 's go , ma'am . theresa : no , you ca n't throw me out , ok ? you work for me , too . guard : mr. crane ? julian : to date , there have been three mrs. julian cranes and one julian crane -- moi . now , who do you think is going to continue to live in this mansion paying your salary ? me or theresa ? fox : it 's not going to happen , guys . ethan : look , this is her house and we are not going to allow you to kick her out of it . julian : i am ordering you to oust this thing ! ethan : guys , you leave theresa the hell alone . beth : it 's like this , antonio . luis and sheridan are -- nurse : excuse me . antonio , i 'm sorry , but i need to check your vitals and give you your medication . antonio : could n't it wait ? i 'm in the middle of an important conversation . nurse : i 'm sorry . it 's really important that you get your medication on time , so i 'm going to have to ask you to step outside . beth : oh . yes , of course . beth : talk about making it up as i go along . but now what ? how do i keep antonio and sheridan together so i still have a shot at luis ? yeah , that 's a good question , beth . and you better think of something fast or you 're going to lose luis forever . singer : you are my passion for life sam : look , i can understand your anger at chad . all right ? i was mad as hell at miguel . i still am . t.c . : sam , i 'm sorry . here i am going off about my family , and you have to deal with kay being pregnant . sam : no , do n't worry about it . you know , it 's funny . i 'm a cop . i 'm supposed to be able to spot trouble . with kay and miguel , i must have missed all the signs . you know , maybe if i had paid more attention to kay , she would n't be in this situation . t.c . : sam , it 's done now , ok ? do n't blame yourself . sam : all grace and i can do for kay right now is just be the e for her every step of the way , even if she fights us . t.c . : you know what , man ? if someone was to tell me that this would happen to your family , i would laugh in their faces . sam : so would i. i have to admit , i never thought that whitney and simone would ever be in this kind of trouble . and your girls always seemed so centered , and you and eve have a perfect family . t.c . : you know , i ca n't believe anything like this is happening to me , either . but i 'm going to start damage control . i 'm going to make sure there 's no negative impact on whitney 's tennis career . eve is talking to her now . i just hope that she can make her listen to reason . eve : i do n't want to talk about this , liz . liz : oh , well , that 's too bad , eve , because i want you to remember what you did to our family . everything was perfect , eve , until you ruined it . do you remember that ? every sunday , we 'd all walk over to our church -- you , me , mama . all our aunts and cousins would pack the place . and we 'd be so proud when you 'd file in with the church choir .

'cause i do n't know how to drive this thing . dante : well , you do n't take this boat . you take another boat , the launch . i can take you , if you like . laura : do you think i was too pushy ? scott : no , there 's nothing pushy about asking your daughter to your wedding . laura : i know , but i just did n't want to put too much pressure on her . she 's been so skittish since we got her back from greece . i do n't want to upset her . lesley : somewhere deep down , lulu knows how important it is for all of us to be together . i certainly would love to see her , even if she does n't remember any of us . scott : but even if lulu does n't make it , we 're still gon na have a terrific wedding . right , lesley ? lesley : of course . i am here to support you , along with nikolas and spencer , and if i know nikolas , he 's off right now rounding up other people that you love . luke : a good bartender pours without a spout and minds his own business . mac : you asked what my problem was . luke : jake 's death was a terrible accident . mac : you admit you 'd been drinking that night . luke : i was not impaired , officer . jake was 4-years old . he was in the road . it was dark . i did n't see him . no one , including you , would have seen him . mac : well , we 'll never know , will we ? just like we 'll never know how much alcohol was in your system or how your reaction time would have been , if you had n't have been drinking . luke : that 's right . we 'll never know . mac : coleman told me you paid to change the name of this place because you did n't want a little boy 's name on a bar . you wanted to memorialize jake in a more fitting way . so , i have to ask you , why would you go to all that trouble and then come in here , of all places , and drink ? luke : that 's the first thing you 've said that makes any sense . why would i ? why would i spend my money in a place where i ca n't have a drink in peace , where i have to listen to some self - righteous , moralizing ex - cop give me a lecture ? here . thanks for the drink . keep the change . ooh , you must really miss frisco jones . felicia : what was that all about ? dante : spoon island 's a pretty tricky place . i just want to make sure you get there okay . lulu : and you know a lot about boats ? dante : i 'm reasonably proficient . lulu : that 's kind of a surprise . did n't you say you grew up in bensonhurst ? dante : it 's true , yeah . did n't spend a ton of time on the water as a kid , but do n't worry . i would n't be piloting the launch myself . we got a professional , i 'm sure , over there who will do that for us . lulu : oh , okay . so then why would i need you ? dante : well , i would n't want you to get lost , you know , between here and the launch or at wyndemere dock and the main house . you do n't want to be on that island all alone . lulu : yeah , no , i would n't . dante : yeah , bogs and moors and patches of poison ivy . lulu : you know , um -- what about milo ? i mean , he 'll be expecting me home soon . dante : yeah , you know , milo -- i 'm sure he can find something to amuse himself with or , hopefully , someone . come on . might be fun . what do you say ? elizabeth : you want me to go to your mother 's wedding ? nikolas : well , yes , of course i do . i mean , i 'll understand if you 're still under the weather . it looks like a.j . 's relish has caused quite a bit of damage . elizabeth : well , i 'm not convinced it was a.j . 's relish , but i 'm fine . nikolas : good , then . you 'll come ? elizabeth : i appreciate the invitation -- nikolas : but ? elizabeth : did your mother really extend it ? nikolas : yes . why is that such a surprise ? you used to be her daughter - in - law . you 're the mother of her grandchildren . why would n't she invite you ? elizabeth : did she ? nikolas : elizabeth , why does it matter who invited whom ? it 's a family wedding , and you 're part of the family . and , seriously , we 've had enough pain to last a lifetime . we finally have something to celebrate , right ? my mother deserves to be surrounded by people that love her as she starts a new life . come on . the more the merrier , or whatever you americans say . [ both laugh ] i really want you and the boys to come , so how about it ? a.j . : how about what ? man : seriously . so you think that someone did something to that relish on purpose ? strangers things have happened . man : yeah , i guess , but -- but to poison a condiment on national television ? [ laughs ] whoever did that has to be one sick puppy . i would n't go that far . man : i would . the guy is a food saboteur . maybe somebody just wanted to screw with elq and send it into a tailspin , make the company ripe so someone could take it over . [ door opens , closes ] tracy : oh , a.j . , back so soon ? i ca n't wait to hear the details . was it an epic fail ? luke : something like that . tracy : luke . i was wondering when you were gon na come over and console me on my dreadful experience at `` the chew . `` you do know that it was a.j . 's relish that poisoned everybody , not mine . i ca n't wait to tell you how i got a.j . to fall on his sword . turns out you 're not the only person that can blackmail his family . no hello ? luke : hello . tracy : what 's got you in such a foul mood ? scott : laura , in the perfect world , we 'd love to have everyone here , like serena and lee and gale and lucy and all your kids , but ... i 'm too selfish . i do n't want to wait . unless you do . laura : no . no , i am ready to start a life together , and i am grateful for whoever wants to join us . scott : well , we have everybody we need . we have your mother , and she thinks it 's gon na be a great wedding . lesley : mm - hmm . in spite of the fact that you 're marrying the wrong ex- husband . cameron : a.j . ! a.j . : hey ! how you doing , cameron ? cameron : we 're showing spencer our coloring books . a.j . : oh , cool . i 'll be over in just a second . i got to go talk to your mom . cameron : all right . a.j . : all right . so , what 's nikolas doing here ? nikolas : well , i came by to wish elizabeth a speedy recovery . i was n't sure she 'd be back on her feet after she was poisoned by your relish . a.j . : mm . well , actually , i need to speak with elizabeth , so if you 're done -- elizabeth : just a second . um -- nikolas was in the middle of inviting me to his mother 's wedding , and i was about to give him an answer . yes . yes , i accept your invitation . i assume that includes a plus - one ? a.j . , would you like to go to the wedding with me ? a.j . : i would love to . elizabeth : great . thank you for the invite . i 'll see you there . a.j . : wow . just when i did n't think you could look any more beautiful -- you prove me wrong . elizabeth : thank you . a.j . : thank you for inviting me to scott and laura 's wedding . something tells me that nikolas did n't intend for there to be a plus - one . elizabeth : oh . no , he did n't . but he was pressuring me , and i 'm just really glad you showed up when you did . anyone ever tell you you have perfect timing ? a.j . : you know , i used to wait for moments like that -- being in the right place at the right time for something good to happen -- and i realized somewhere along the way that you got to make those moments , and when you 're lucky enough to do that , you got to make sure that you do n't throw them away . elizabeth : is that what you 're thinking ? this is one of those moments ? a.j . : elizabeth -- elizabeth : yes ? a.j . : there 's something i need to tell you . scott : no , no , lucy , i need mayor lomax here at wyndemere , not at the courthouse . okay . good , good . thanks . goodbye . oh , hey , nikolas , spencer . how you doing ?

when did you start feuding with mac scorpio ? luke : if he wants to give sermons , he should have gone to the seminary . tracy : okay . i 'll bite . what did mac sermonize about ? luke : this . mac : i thought i was doing him a favor by stopping him at one . felicia : you were . mac : who am i to tell luke what to do ? i 'm a bartender . my job is pouring drinks . if i did n't know luke and everything he 'd been through , i would n't have said anything . felicia : mac , you did the right thing . it 's not your problem . it 's his problem . nobody tells him what to do . nobody ever could . luke : last thing i need from a bartender is the 12-step tango . bubba even brought up the fact that i -- had that rat hole 's name changed because of jake . not that that 's any of his business , but i did it because i did n't want elizabeth to have to drive past it every day . did n't want her to have to have that big red neon reminder of what happened next to the roadside . i was not trying to avoid what happened . there is no avoidance of that little boy 's death , ever . i just do n't need any lectures about it , especially from mac scorpio .

[ whistles ] [ whistles ] man : so you think that some guy was trying to take down the whole company ? well , that 's not just crazy . that 's diabolical . high praise . man : [ chuckles ] what , are you one of those conspiracy theorists ? sometimes . man : wait a sec . you look familiar to me . do i know you from somewhere ? i 'm certain that you and i do not know one another . man : no , no , no . no , i know you . maybe it 's from , uh -- like , a conference or something . are you a life coach ? no . man : motivational speaker . no . man : oh ! unh ! i was sure that was it . [ chuckles ] i mean , your face is just -- just so positive . i mean , at least i have a positive association to it . it 's like a spotlight that 's shining on it . it 's -- it 's just positive . are you famous ? well , that depends on what you mean by `` famous . `` man : [ chuckles ] okay . yeah , i know i know you . i just ca n't put my finger on it , but -- scott : okay , tell me that story again . spencer : so , i was running at second , i slid at second base -- nikolas : glad you could make it . cameron : hey , nikolas . nikolas : hi . aiden : hey , nikolas . nikolas : hi . wow . you look beautiful . elizabeth : thank you . a.j . : that 's what i told her . nikolas : well , we finally agree on something . aiden : it 's him again . a.j . : [ laughing ] laura : hi , spencer ! oh ! cameron and aiden ! hi , sweetheart . how 's my baby ? i 'm so , so glad you 're here . elizabeth , thank you for bringing them . elizabeth : oh , of course . laura : and what a wonderful surprise . i have you to thank for all of it . nikolas : i just want you to be happy , mother . that 's all . laura : i am . everybody 's here . well , almost everybody . felicia : maxie and i are having a blast planning our wedding . mac : uh - oh . should i be worried ? felicia : no . she has great taste . felicia : no question . but she 's not real good with limits or a budget . felicia : this is gon na be a perfect wedding . we 're gon na do it up right this time . maxie suggested that we get a salsa band . mac : mmm . [ chuckles ] felicia : what do you think ? oh , and she said a candy bar . mac : oh . just one ? felicia : very funny . no , it 's a buffet with different kinds of candy . we can get those little kinds of gummy fish that you like . 'cause we were thinking that we would make it into a beachy theme with a cantina feel . maxie says that the starfish is the on - trend decorative element of the season . what 's wrong , mac ? mac : not wrong , really . just -- i 've been thinking a lot about the wedding . felicia : what are you thinking ? mac : that maybe we do n't need to do -- all that . felicia : so you do n't want a big wedding ? do n't want any band or candy or starfish ? mac : actually -- maybe no wedding at all . scott : i do n't think lulu 's gon na show up . laura : yeah , i know . that 's okay . i will miss my daughter , but -- i am so glad that all of you are here , really . and i am very grateful that , uh -- that you wanted to spend our day with us . scott : well , then , you ready to get married ? [ door closes ] laura : yep . laura : lulu . lulu : hey . hi , honey . can i have a hug ? thank you . thank you so much for being here . i love you . and i am ready now . let 's get married . cameron : aunt lulu ! dante : hey , cameron . how 's it going , buddy ? lulu : uh , cameron , hi . hi . nikolas : hey , let 's give lulu some room , all right ? elizabeth : come on , honey . the wedding 's about to start . lulu : this is my family , right ? dante : yeah . hey , it 's okay . you can do this . lulu : how do you know ? dante : because i 'll be by your side the whole time . tracy : you 're siding with scorpio ? tracy : i 'm not siding with anyone except you . you came back to port charles -- you were n't drinking . now you are . luke : i 'm not an alcoholic . tracy : have i said a word to you about your drinking ? no , i have not . i know you too well . luke : better than anyone . tracy : i knew the reaction i would get if i confronted you . and i want to keep my head , thank you very much . luke : so why are you saying something now ? tracy : because you brought it up , and i am concerned . luke : why ? tracy : let 's see . because i care about you . with depression , simple pleasures can simply hurt . lesley : i 'm your grandmother -- lesley . dante : that 's my bad . i keep forgetting to do the introductions . lulu : um , nice to meet you . i 'm sorry . that sounds weird . lesley : no , it 's all right . lulu : i really want to remember . lesley : you will . and when you do , you 'll know just how much i love you . oh , lulu , we 're all so glad you 're here . elizabeth : of course you guys are gon na get cake , but we have to wait for them to get married first . nikolas : it 's good you could join us , a.j . a.j . : well , thanks for having me to your castl -- your home , nikolas . it 's very , uh -- warm and inviting , much like yourself . felicia : you do n't want to get married ? mac : what 's the point ? we 're already together . why bother with all that paperwork ? i love you . you love me . is n't that all we need ? felicia : should 've known you did n't want a ceremony . you did n't even get me a ring . mac : we do n't need one . you 're my wife in every way that counts . right ? we 're married in spirit . come on , we do n't need all that superficial stuff like candy bars and starfish and -- felicia : rings ? this is n't lulu 's , is it ? mac : no . it 's yours . felicia : [ giggles ] you had me going . i believed that you did n't want to marry me . mac : no . nothing could be further from the truth . so ... felicia : [ laughs ] mac : felicia -- will you marry me ? felicia : no . mac : what do you mean no ? felicia : gotcha . mac : okay . i deserve that . do n't keep me hanging on any longer . will you marry me ? felicia : yes , mac , i will . [ applause ] scott : no , no , no , no . that 's unacceptable . we -- we got to get this done . it 's crucial . lulu : that 's who my mom 's marrying . dante : that 's him . lulu : is it weird that i do n't like him ? dante : [ chuckles ] lulu : what ? dante : it 'd be weird if you did like him . lesley : elizabeth is dating a.j . quartermaine ? monica 's son ? nikolas : do n't worry . it wo n't last . laura : dante , i just wanted to have a minute with you . dante : yeah . you look beautiful , by the way . i have n't told you yet . laura : oh , thank you for the compliment . but mostly i want to thank you for convincing lulu to come along . you have no idea how grateful i am about that . dante : no , i uh -- i 'm just glad she said yes . laura : mm . dante : hey , maybe she 'll have some memories of our own wedding from being here . i do n't know . laura : i hope so . dante : yeah , me too . laura : it 's gon na be okay . scott : laura , let me talk to you . laura : sorry . just a second . what 's the matter ? scott : we may not be getting married at all . luke : you care about me ? did you really just say that ? tracy : i do n't want to lose you to drinking , luke . i do n't want to lose you at all . luke : you wo n't . tracy : do n't get me wrong -- there are times i want to strangle you , but i still care about you . i care about you a lot . luke : likewise . man : i know i know you . maybe you just think you know me from one of your past lives . man : ah ! it 'll come to me the second i 'm off this plane . oh , speaking of , looks like we 're about to land in port charles . all right . that 's fortunate . it 's been a longer flight than i anticipated . man : so , uh , what brings you to this neck of the woods ? business ? pleasure ? with any luck , a little bit of both .

the mysterious man that was lurking at the television studio in new york when everyone got sick from tainted relish is on a flight to port charles . the man sitting next to him asks him what he thinks about the relish incident . he says it might have been intentional . he suggests that someone might be setting up elq to be vulnerable for a takeover . the seatmate recognizes him , but ca n't think of where he has seen him before . tracy tells aj to issue a press release exonerating pickle - eddie from the tainted relish debacle or she will tell elizabeth that he slept with carly . he says he is going to tell elizabeth himself . nikolas takes spencer to elizabeth 's house to see his cousins cameron and aiden and to invite elizabeth to laura 's wedding . she finds the invitation suspect coming from him . he assures her that laura still considers her part of the family and wants her and the grandchildren to be there . aj goes to elizabeth 's house and wonders why nikolas is there . elizabeth accepts the wedding invitation and asks aj to be her date . aj tells elizabeth that he has to tell her something and gets as far as saying it has to do with tracy , but the boys come downstairs before he can get to the confession .

<s>[INST] elizabeth : will you stop worrying ? the boys are on their best behavior . a.j . : that 's good to hear . so , how you feeling ? elizabeth : better . just thought i 'd play it safe and take the day off . a.j . : elizabeth , i am so sorry . elizabeth : you have nothing to apologize for . a.j . : well , i think we both know that 's not exactly true . elizabeth : i just do n't understand why you automatically assume it was your relish that made everyone sick and not tracy 's . a.j . : it 's like i told you at the hospital . we came out of production too soon . we had n't perfected the preservation process . i 'm not exact -- tracy : elizabeth -- tracy . hi . are you sitting down ? i want to tell you something about a.j . luke : innkeeper ! oh . it 's you . i 'll have another . mac : i 'm not sure that 's a good idea . scott : what do you say , lesley ? forgive me ? laura : it 's okay . mom -- scotty is the same man i fell in love with all those years ago , when we were just teenagers . and somehow , we have managed to find our way back to each other . and you know why ? it 's because of scotty -- because no matter what went wrong , he never gave up on me . and , mom , i 'm not giving up on him . lesley : are you sure this is love and not just gratitude or nostalgia ? laura : do n't you remember you always used to trust scotty to look out for me , to take care of me ? and he did . he 's the same guy who went looking for me when i ran away when i was a teenager . you were so worried . now that i have kids , i know how frightened you were . lesley : you were so young . laura : yes , and he kept me safe . he went into new york , found me , and brought me home . lesley : you 're right . he did . scott : i have a lot of regrets for the things i 've done , but i 've always -- always -- loved laura , and i just want to make her happy , and i still do , to this day . lesley : okay . laura : okay ? lesley : i 'll give my blessing to this marriage -- for you , not for him . and if you ever -- and i mean ever -- hurt her , i will crush you like the dung beetle you are . scott : i understand -- mom . lesley : mm . scott : but let me assure you , it 'll never come to that . lesley : [ sighs ] lulu : so , did you just keep spouting cheesy pickup lines until you finally wore me down ? dante : yeah , you could say i was persistent . lulu : oh . well , there 's a surprise . so , um -- what happened ? dante : i , uh -- i accused you of being obsessed with kissing me . lulu : sorry . it 's not gon na happen -- not now , not ever , not in this lifetime , not in the next lifetime , not ever . dante : wow . you really have thought about this , have n't you ? lulu : no ! i assure you that the thought has never gotten in my head . dante : it 's probably for the best . i 'm probably too much for you right now . lulu : oh ! yeah , that 's cute , but reverse psychology does n't work on me . dante : wow ! it goes even deeper than i thought ! i mean , this is like borderline obsession . but it 's cool . we will work through this together . although i do say the best thing for your fears is to face them . lulu : if i kiss you , would you go away ? dante : we all have our vices . i mean , for me , personally , mine is vanilla ice cream in chocolate sauce . lulu : please shut up . dante : but i got handle on that . i faced that demon . but sometimes , you wake up in the middle of the night , and these things just -- lulu : oh , just -- [ laughing ] well , it sounds like i kissed you to shut you up . dante : you feel like shutting me up now ? man : oh , hey . oh , did you see that episode of `` the chew `` ? i never miss it . that daphne is smokin ' hot . [ chuckles ] that carla 's not too shabby , either . but when they all started hurling -- oh -- i almost tossed my cookies myself . yeah , i ca n't hear you very well . man : i said i almost tossed my cookies myself ! just ugh ! [ chuckles ] i mean , something must have gone wrong backstage . who do you think was responsible ? lulu : oh . okay . now i get it . yeah . dante : get what ? lulu : you did n't really need to drag me all the way out here to assess some -- phony damages to the boat . dante : phony ? this boat is riddled with bullet holes . i 'm surprised the thing still floats . it got bad out here . i was pinned down at one point . i do n't even know how i managed to survive . lulu : yeah . now , please , admit it -- you brought me out here to try to re- create our first kiss . dante : would that be so bad ? lulu : [ sighs ] dante : i mean , what 's that saying -- `` a kiss is just a kiss `` ? what could it hurt ? except that maybe you wo n't like it , except that -- i 'm pretty sure you will like it . lulu : no chance that you 're being overconfident ? dante : all modesty aside -- lulu : ah ! you did not just say `` modesty . `` dante : -- i 'm a pretty great kisser . lulu : oh . and you 're humble and self - effacing . dante : and here 's your chance to find out for yourself . lulu : do you really think that i 'm gon na fall for this ? wow . you must not respect me very much . dante : i respect you so much , it hurts . lulu : does n't look like you 're hurting very much to me . dante : look closer . lulu : oh , my god . you really think this is gon na work . you think you can just talk me into kissing you . dante : you never know if you do n't try . what if you do and you not only like it but you remember it ? what if -- what if you remember us ? scott : so , in all the fun we 've been having , i forgot to tell you that nikolas texted me and said that we 're gon na have our wedding -- here . laura : nikolas offered up his house , and i just could n't refuse him . i hope that that 's all right with you . scott : well , i just hope that we 'll be able to hear our vows with all the screaming of the souls that are trapped in the walls of this old mansion . but if that 's what you want , then -- that 's what i want . laura : well , i think it was a lovely gesture from nikolas , and that is all that matters to me . i just want to have as much family around me as i can possibly have . luke : this is a bar , is it not ? mac : it is . luke : well , then i 'd like another drink . unless , of course , you 've run out of booze or lost your liquor license in the last two minutes . mac : no , we got plenty of booze , and my liquor license is up to date . luke : then what 's the problem , bubba ? mac : are you sure you should be drinking ? luke : why ? you know something i do n't ? mac : i was under the impression you , uh -- swore off alcohol more than a year ago . luke : well , you 're under the wrong impression . so , now that we have that cleared up , get over here and pour . mac : a lot of people who love you staged an intervention . luke : if you 're referring to the night that i was knocked out and tied to a chair , that was a stupid mistake that even the people you mention will tell you was a waste of time . mac : maybe they could have picked a better way to go about it . but they did n't have a choice after you -- luke : after i what ? mac : after you killed elizabeth 's son . elizabeth : tracy , what is going on ? why did you take a.j . 's phone ? tracy : to tell you that he is a cheat , a liar , and a sneak , not that that 's news . elizabeth : hello ? a.j . : elizabeth ? elizabeth : what was all that ? a.j . : uh , i think i 'm gon na have to call you back . [ knock on door ] elizabeth : okay . call me back . coming . nikolas : hi . elizabeth : hi . i got your messages . did you get my text ? nikolas : i did , i did . it was good to hear that you 're feeling better . elizabeth : thanks . what are you doing here ? nikolas : well , we brought you something . elizabeth : [ gasps ] spencer : for you . elizabeth : oh ! nikolas : [ chuckles ] a.j . : what the hell were you doing ? tracy : does it really need explaining ? i was telling elizabeth your secret . of course , i should probably be more specific . who knows how many sleazy transgressions you are trying to hide . i was referring to the tryst with carly . i was gon na tell elizabeth how you slept with carly behind her back . a.j . : what about it ? tracy : do i need to speak more slowly ? you did not live up to your end of the bargain . you did not take full responsibility for the tainted relish . all i can say is two words -- p.r . disaster . i mean , how can elq let that happen ? well -- maybe someone did it on purpose . when it comes to getting my family to eat breakfast , tracy : my terms are clear -- either you take responsibility for the tainted relish , or i tell elizabeth all about you and carly . a.j . : i already met your terms ! i went to mario batali 's hospital room ! i gave him back his orange clog ! i told him that it was my pickle relish that gave everybody food poisoning and not yours . tracy : you think that 's enough . a.j . : it 's what you wanted ! tracy : a.j . , you told one person . well , two if you count elizabeth and nikolas . but look -- it is all over the newspaper . i want you to fully exonerate my pickle - eddie from this `` hellish relish `` debacle . a.j . : how am i supposed to do that ? tracy : oh , my god . a.j . , you issue a press release . you go to the media , you go to television , radio , the internet , every social platform available . i do n't care how you do it . just make sure that everybody in the world knows that your relish is toxic and mine is pure , or i sing like a canary . not if i sing first , tweetie - pie . i 'll tell elizabeth myself . tracy : [ laughs ] bluff away , puffin . you had your chance yesterday , and you chickened out . you 're gon na chicken out today . a.j . : watch me . tracy : i will . like a vulture watches for roadkill . elizabeth : spencer , they 're beautiful . thank you so much . spencer : dad bought them . nikolas : i wanted you to be able to look at something pretty while you were convalescing . it 's good to see you 're feeling better . elizabeth : thank you . spencer , when did you get here ? nikolas : we got here this morning . lesley brought him , finally . i was hoping to get him reacquainted with his cousins . what do you think ? elizabeth : yes ! they would love to see you . hey , guys , look who 's here . it 's your cousin spencer ! come here ! come say hi . come here , aiden . can you say hi to spencer ? cameron : hi . spencer : hi . elizabeth : why do n't you guys sit at the table and color ? want to color with the boys ? that 'll be fun . oh , look at them ! ca n't believe how tall he is . nikolas : oh , please do n't remind me . elizabeth : i wish that i had something planned . if you had let me know in advance , i could have arranged an official play date . nikolas : that 's okay . i 'm sure spencer would have loved that , but unfortunately , we have another engagement . my mother is marrying scotty baldwin today . elizabeth : you 're kidding me . nikolas : no , i 'm not . i 'm hosting the festivities at wyndemere , and , uh -- i was hoping -- to get together as much of my family as possible , which , of course , includes lucky 's boys -- and you . lulu : let me go ! dante : what -- what -- what happened ? what 's wrong ? [ cell phone rings ] dante : no , no , do n't answer that . lulu : um -- it -- it says that my mom is calling . she 's a nice lady . i should probably answer it . mom ? no , i 'm not busy . what 's going on ? oh . okay . um -- i 'll have to think about it . my mom is marrying someone named scott today . dante : today ? lulu : yeah , she says she does n't care if i remember . she -- she really wants me to be there . dante : where 's the wedding ? lulu : someplace called `` windy mare `` ? dante : [ chuckles ] it 's wyndemere . your brother lives there -- nikolas . lulu : oh , nikolas came by the other day . i like him . he 's weirdly polite . dante : he is like that . you know , if he 's hosting the wedding , you should go . your mother would like it a lot . i do n't even know where wyndemere is . dante : well , it 's right out here . that 's spoon island . lulu : wait . are you saying that nikolas , my weirdly polite brother , lives in a castle ? dante : [ chuckles ] yeah , it 's a long story , but , yeah , you got to take a boat to get there , and -- lulu : yeah , i mean , you got to be joking ! 'cause i do n't know how to drive this thing . dante : well , you do n't take this boat . you take another boat , the launch . i can take you , if you like . laura : do you think i was too pushy ? scott : no , there 's nothing pushy about asking your daughter to your wedding . laura : i know , but i just did n't want to put too much pressure on her . she 's been so skittish since we got her back from greece . i do n't want to upset her . lesley : somewhere deep down , lulu knows how important it is for all of us to be together . i certainly would love to see her , even if she does n't remember any of us . scott : but even if lulu does n't make it , we 're still gon na have a terrific wedding . right , lesley ? lesley : of course . i am here to support you , along with nikolas and spencer , and if i know nikolas , he 's off right now rounding up other people that you love . luke : a good bartender pours without a spout and minds his own business . mac : you asked what my problem was . luke : jake 's death was a terrible accident . mac : you admit you 'd been drinking that night . luke : i was not impaired , officer . jake was 4-years old . he was in the road . it was dark . i did n't see him . no one , including you , would have seen him . mac : well , we 'll never know , will we ? just like we 'll never know how much alcohol was in your system or how your reaction time would have been , if you had n't have been drinking . luke : that 's right . we 'll never know . mac : coleman told me you paid to change the name of this place because you did n't want a little boy 's name on a bar . you wanted to memorialize jake in a more fitting way . so , i have to ask you , why would you go to all that trouble and then come in here , of all places , and drink ? luke : that 's the first thing you 've said that makes any sense . why would i ? why would i spend my money in a place where i ca n't have a drink in peace , where i have to listen to some self - righteous , moralizing ex - cop give me a lecture ? here . thanks for the drink . keep the change . ooh , you must really miss frisco jones . felicia : what was that all about ? dante : spoon island 's a pretty tricky place . i just want to make sure you get there okay . lulu : and you know a lot about boats ? dante : i 'm reasonably proficient . lulu : that 's kind of a surprise . did n't you say you grew up in bensonhurst ? dante : it 's true , yeah . did n't spend a ton of time on the water as a kid , but do n't worry . i would n't be piloting the launch myself . we got a professional , i 'm sure , over there who will do that for us . lulu : oh , okay . so then why would i need you ? dante : well , i would n't want you to get lost , you know , between here and the launch or at wyndemere dock and the main house . you do n't want to be on that island all alone . lulu : yeah , no , i would n't . dante : yeah , bogs and moors and patches of poison ivy . lulu : you know , um -- what about milo ? i mean , he 'll be expecting me home soon . dante : yeah , you know , milo -- i 'm sure he can find something to amuse himself with or , hopefully , someone . come on . might be fun . what do you say ? elizabeth : you want me to go to your mother 's wedding ? nikolas : well , yes , of course i do . i mean , i 'll understand if you 're still under the weather . it looks like a.j . 's relish has caused quite a bit of damage . elizabeth : well , i 'm not convinced it was a.j . 's relish , but i 'm fine . nikolas : good , then . you 'll come ? elizabeth : i appreciate the invitation -- nikolas : but ? elizabeth : did your mother really extend it ? nikolas : yes . why is that such a surprise ? you used to be her daughter - in - law . you 're the mother of her grandchildren . why would n't she invite you ? elizabeth : did she ? nikolas : elizabeth , why does it matter who invited whom ? it 's a family wedding , and you 're part of the family . and , seriously , we 've had enough pain to last a lifetime . we finally have something to celebrate , right ? my mother deserves to be surrounded by people that love her as she starts a new life . come on . the more the merrier , or whatever you americans say . [ both laugh ] i really want you and the boys to come , so how about it ? a.j . : how about what ? man : seriously . so you think that someone did something to that relish on purpose ? strangers things have happened . man : yeah , i guess , but -- but to poison a condiment on national television ? [ laughs ] whoever did that has to be one sick puppy . i would n't go that far . man : i would . the guy is a food saboteur . maybe somebody just wanted to screw with elq and send it into a tailspin , make the company ripe so someone could take it over . [ door opens , closes ] tracy : oh , a.j . , back so soon ? i ca n't wait to hear the details . was it an epic fail ? luke : something like that . tracy : luke . i was wondering when you were gon na come over and console me on my dreadful experience at `` the chew . `` you do know that it was a.j . 's relish that poisoned everybody , not mine . i ca n't wait to tell you how i got a.j . to fall on his sword . turns out you 're not the only person that can blackmail his family . no hello ? luke : hello . tracy : what 's got you in such a foul mood ? scott : laura , in the perfect world , we 'd love to have everyone here , like serena and lee and gale and lucy and all your kids , but ... i 'm too selfish . i do n't want to wait . unless you do . laura : no . no , i am ready to start a life together , and i am grateful for whoever wants to join us . scott : well , we have everybody we need . we have your mother , and she thinks it 's gon na be a great wedding . lesley : mm - hmm . in spite of the fact that you 're marrying the wrong ex- husband . cameron : a.j . ! a.j . : hey ! how you doing , cameron ? cameron : we 're showing spencer our coloring books . a.j . : oh , cool . i 'll be over in just a second . i got to go talk to your mom . cameron : all right . a.j . : all right . so , what 's nikolas doing here ? nikolas : well , i came by to wish elizabeth a speedy recovery . i was n't sure she 'd be back on her feet after she was poisoned by your relish . a.j . : mm . well , actually , i need to speak with elizabeth , so if you 're done -- elizabeth : just a second . um -- nikolas was in the middle of inviting me to his mother 's wedding , and i was about to give him an answer . yes . yes , i accept your invitation . i assume that includes a plus - one ? a.j . , would you like to go to the wedding with me ? a.j . : i would love to . elizabeth : great . thank you for the invite . i 'll see you there . a.j . : wow . just when i did n't think you could look any more beautiful -- you prove me wrong . elizabeth : thank you . a.j . : thank you for inviting me to scott and laura 's wedding . something tells me that nikolas did n't intend for there to be a plus - one . elizabeth : oh . no , he did n't . but he was pressuring me , and i 'm just really glad you showed up when you did . anyone ever tell you you have perfect timing ? a.j . : you know , i used to wait for moments like that -- being in the right place at the right time for something good to happen -- and i realized somewhere along the way that you got to make those moments , and when you 're lucky enough to do that , you got to make sure that you do n't throw them away . elizabeth : is that what you 're thinking ? this is one of those moments ? a.j . : elizabeth -- elizabeth : yes ? a.j . : there 's something i need to tell you . scott : no , no , lucy , i need mayor lomax here at wyndemere , not at the courthouse . okay . good , good . thanks . goodbye . oh , hey , nikolas , spencer . how you doing ? nice to see you again . nikolas : you need to go get ready for the wedding , all right ? all right , go on . scott : listen , i want to thank you for hosting the wedding here . it 's very important that your mother has a great day . nikolas : yes , it is . where is she ? scott : she 's getting dressed with your grandmother . and speaking of lesley , she was hoping that you were out corralling some other family members . nikolas : i was . elizabeth is coming with cam and aiden . scott : elizabeth ? is she your date ? nikolas : actually , no , she 's not . i tried to trick her into coming with me , but she beat me at my own game . a.j . : listen , you , uh -- you may want to rethink what you said about this being a good moment . elizabeth : what do you mean ? a.j . : look , i would n't tell you this -- not now , with us about to go out -- but it 's important . elizabeth : does this have anything to do with tracy taking your phone earlier ? a.j . : yeah , in a way . do you think we could just sit down for a second ? elizabeth : oh , lord . okay . cameron : we 're ready . elizabeth : hey , guys ! oh , look at you ! you look great ! do you need help with your tie ? a.j . : come here . get over here . come here . i can help you out . ca n't have one of the most important guests at the entire wedding running around with his tie all crooked like that . gon na get you all ship shape right here . button this , too . now you look awesome . cameron : thanks , a.j . a.j . : pound it out . attaboy . tracy : someone must be responsible for this display of bad humor . luke : mac scorpio . tracy : really ? when did you start feuding with mac scorpio ? luke : if he wants to give sermons , he should have gone to the seminary . tracy : okay . i 'll bite . what did mac sermonize about ? luke : this . mac : i thought i was doing him a favor by stopping him at one . felicia : you were . mac : who am i to tell luke what to do ? i 'm a bartender . my job is pouring drinks . if i did n't know luke and everything he 'd been through , i would n't have said anything . felicia : mac , you did the right thing . it 's not your problem . it 's his problem . nobody tells him what to do . nobody ever could . luke : last thing i need from a bartender is the 12-step tango . bubba even brought up the fact that i -- had that rat hole 's name changed because of jake . not that that 's any of his business , but i did it because i did n't want elizabeth to have to drive past it every day . did n't want her to have to have that big red neon reminder of what happened next to the roadside . i was not trying to avoid what happened . there is no avoidance of that little boy 's death , ever . i just do n't need any lectures about it , especially from mac scorpio .

[ scene_break ] adriana : rex , it 's a little too late to think about confessing . rex : you were the one that told me that i should n't have even been involved in this thing in the first place , that i should tell michael and marcie they have todd 's kid . adriana : that was before i ever really thought about it . because when i tried to imagine telling them , and forcing them to give tommy up , it -- rex : tommy is todd 's son . adriana : yeah , and todd has been totally crazed since blair left him . what kind of family would todd be able to give tommy ? not the kind that michael and marcie can . and michael will go to jail if you tell -- so would you . rex : look , i 'll make sure you do n't . i 'll cover for you . adriana : i -- i 'm not even thinking about that . rex : but you 're right . there are serious crimes here -- falsifying official documents , withholding information on a capital crime , aiding and abetting a murderer who we know killed truman . keeping quiet about all this makes both of us accessories after the fact . adriana : but we 're the only ones who know besides michael , so as long as none of us blows it -- rex : well , yeah , well , if i do n't , michael will . ok , you saw him tonight -- he 's freaking out . adriana : yeah , i know , and i had to try to talk him down -- like i 'm trying to do with you ! rex : look , if you had seen todd 's face when i handed him the death certificate -- adriana : i know , and i 'm sure that it was awful , despite everything that todd has done . but we ca n't start having second thoughts now , rex . we have to stick to the plan . otherwise , everyone is going to end up getting hurt .

[ scene_break ] john : hey , hey , slow down now , all right ? no one said anything about leaving . natalie : i came to see you because i wanted to tell you that i -- i went by bo 's office . i was going to tell him what i did , but he was investigating the fire at nora 's . john : ok . how are nora and matthew doing ? natalie : i mean , they 're going to be ok -- they 're staying at my grandfather 's . i just -- i ca n't believe that nora 's house burned down . john : probably the same guy that torched the other places . natalie : yeah , but why ? john : antonio 's on it , he 'll figure it out . so you -- uh -- you went to see bo on your own ? natalie : yeah , i wanted to tell him that i took the evidence . john : i thought maybe we were going to do that together . natalie : i 'm the one who screwed up , john , not you . john : hey -- i wish it had n't come to this . natalie : but it has . john : yeah , well , i do n't want you taking heat all on your own , ok ? so when you back to see bo , i 'm coming with you . and whatever bo decides , we 'll go with it -- for both of us . natalie : ok . john : ok ? look , while you 're here , you mind taking a look at something ? since you were the only one actually to see those fibers at the crime scene -- i took the fibers on the -- on the right from my scarf just now . as you can see , they 're an exact match for the fibers in the crime scene photos . natalie : yeah , i -- i know . i mean , you could type and id them . when i saw them , even with the naked eye , i knew where they came from -- that 's why i took them and got rid of them . so what 's your question ? john : well , how did the fibers from my scarf end up on truman 's body when i was never in blair 's room ? i mean , i wanted to kill the guy , i just never got the chance . natalie : that 's a good thing . john : no , you see , but the fibers mean that the killer was someone close to me . they were either in my room , or maybe they were even with me before they murdered truman . natalie : you do n't think i killed spencer ? john : you ? did you ? [ scene_break ] evangeline : todd ? i want to help you . but you have to tell me what 's wrong so i know what to do . man : is he ok ? evangeline : take the stairs . evangeline : what happened ? todd : my son is dead . [ scene_break ] miles : i did n't think i had any family left and -- not that i had one to begin with . i mean , spencer was the only person who ever cared about me , and when he died , i -- i thought i was alone . mitch 's daughter on my own -- it did n't seem right , i mean , with all the hell that he put her family through i thought i was alone again , and then you found me . i mean , that 's got to mean that it was meant to be , right ? i mean , what are the odds ? i -- i ca n't believe i have a niece . i ca n't wait to meet everyone . jessica : what ? what ? miles : well , your -- your husband , your mother , your adopted father -- are they still alive ? jessica : yeah , but i -- i mean -- i just -- miles : well , how long have you been married ? do -- do you have any children ? jessica : yeah , a -- a daughter and a stepdaughter . miles : so -- so can they have a great - uncle , too ? when do i get to meet your daughters -- or is it grandnieces ? jessica : miles , hold on , i -- miles : this is the happiest thing that 's ever happened –to me . jessica : well , it 's the worst that 's ever happened to me . miles : it is ? jessica : nothing personal , ok , but anybody that has anything to do with spencer truman or who is related to mitch laurence is the last person that i want to have anything to do with .

[ chuckles ] i want to make something perfectly clear , 'cause i know i 've told you this before , but i would never marry bill or anybody else just for a business transaction . i 'm doing it because i love him . ridge : that 's what you want ? brooke : yes . so , you do n't have to worry about me . i am a big girl , and i can take care of myself . ridge : yeah ? brooke : okay , what -- why are we even talking about this ? ridge : because ... because there 's a lot of memories . we spent a lot of good years together , you know . now r.j.

[ sighs ] it does n't help that you 're getting married to ... to a guy that i do n't care for . brooke : wow . well , that was the nicest way you ever phrased that . ridge : it 's just something about you , logan . i just want you to be okay . i want you to be happy . brooke : i am happy , so you can be happy for me because i 'm gon na be with bill . and you should be happy for yourself because you are going to get those shares . ridge : i am so happy for me . get rid of quinn and everything 's back to normal . and you just have a little detour in your life . that 's all . wyatt : you -- you want me to move in here ? quinn : eric , are you serious ? i mean , it would be so great to have my son close by again . well , you could get to know us as a couple . you can -- you can spend time with us . wyatt : i got to admit , i had my reservations about you guys at first , but ... now i 'm starting to think you two are good for each other . it 's probably hard to tell , but i am grateful to you , eric , for accepting my mother and ... making her happy . eric : no big chore . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : and -- and we have tons of room . you can even have your own guest house if you want . it -- it would be so , so nice to know that you 're close by . and you do n't even have to say anything right now . you -- you can think about it and go and come back , and then you can say yes . you could just actually say yes right now . wyatt : mom . i do n't hate the idea . quinn : [ chuckles ] [ knock on door ] carter : there he is . eric : nurse texted him for me . carter : this is for you . quinn : what is it ? eric : open . quinn : [ chuckles ] our marriage license ? eric : unsigned . need ... to fix that . quinn : i ca n't believe you 've been thinking about this . eric : married legally . quinn : [ chuckles ] you are the best man . do you have any idea how much i love you ?

[ ringtone plays ] ridge : [ sighs ] is that bill ? brooke : hi . bill : i catch you in the middle ? brooke : uh , no , not -- i can talk . bill : i meant what i said , brooke . no more waiting . i understand that you want to give your son consideration . you 'd be more comfortable getting married if r.j. was all in . we 'll get him there . i will make it my mission . but , brooke , our future is now . we get married , i give you your wedding present , then we 're off . brooke : so the shares are still on the table , right ? bill : i gave you my word . i would n't go back on it . i 'll give you my shares at forrester and you can hand them over to ridge if you want to . i want you to be my wife . i love you . brooke : i love you , too . so , um , he wants to get married right away , and then i 'll be with the man that i love and you will get your shares . ridge : and that 's it ? no talking you out of it ? brooke : [ chuckles ] ridge , come on . ridge : 'cause that 's what you want . brooke : yes . ridge : okay . okay .

quinn sits with eric and when he asks she says ridge can be a little intimidating but she can handle him . eric asks if he threatened her . she says no , but she has changed the security guards so ridge can not move her out in the middle of the night . they will only be loyal to them , not ridge . later wyatt comes over and says he is not in the best mood today . she says he does not have to lose steffy . he can fight , that is the way she raised him . she explains to him the new security team and she will not jeopardize her husband 's health even if it is to keep his own son away . as they look in on eric he says that quinn needs her son so he wants wyatt to move in . donna comes home and stops by bill 's to find out about the wedding . he says they can not wait any longer for a teenage boy to come around . ridge and brooke discuss her needing to marry bill to get the shares when brooke tells him that rj has not come around yet . he still believes she and ridge ought to be together . ridge says he thinks that way too . she asks outright if he has feelings for her . he jokes that of course he does . brooke tells ridge that eric will eventually realize what he has done and kick quinn out . ridge says they do not have that long ; they need to get rid of her now .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you seem to be making a lot of assumptions . sonny : no , no , no , no . i 'm just calling you out on what i know is true , alexis . i understand -- look . y - your impulse to protect kristina , i applaud it . i 'd do the same thing , but i 'm not law enforcement here . i 'm her dad . and if she had anything to do with -- with , uh , claudia 's accident , i have a right to know . i 'm not fi -- i 'm not gon na fight you on this . i 'm just trying to help you , but y - you got ta -- you got ta keep me in the loop . alexis : it appears that our daughter had a severe lapse of judgment . she took the car ... without a license and apparently extremely unfocused , and it seems that she ran claudia off the road . she 's in a lot of trouble , and she 's gone because she ca n't face you and because she ca n't face me . she 's our baby , and we have to help her . spinelli : i must admit to a little bit of emotional conflict . i -- i do n't normally intrude on , um , stone cold 's work , a - and i trust stone cold 's ability to locate the young ones wholeheartedly and implicitly . carly : okay , look , you 're preachin ' to the choir . i trust jason more than ever . i just have n't heard from him , and this lead fell into our laps . jax : can you trace the e - mail ? spinelli : can i tra -- that 's cute . yeah . no , the location of the runaways will be revealed . jax : good . that 's what i was hoping you 'd say . as soon as you find them , i 'll go get them . carly : hey , we 'll go get them . i 'm not sittin ' this one out .

[ knock on door ] [ sighs ] oh , garrett . you silly boy , always forgetting your key . ohh ! patrick : brianna , that is enough . your sordid love affair with my husband ends tonight . robin : andrea , what are you doing here ? patrick : i just told you . you will not see my husband ever again , or you will deal with the consequences , and i assure you , they will not be pleasant . robin : well , you know what , andrea ? uh , garrett and i are not living by your rules anymore . we 're gon na get married as soon as he can dump your ass . patrick : do n't you dare , you little slut . robin : ooh . you wan na role - play later ? patrick : come on . stay with it . robin : sorry . ow . patrick : okay , listen . hey . do you have any idea what i 've had to do for my husband 's career ? and i 'm not gon na let it be for nothing . i 'm not gon na watch you as you sail off into the sunset to become the next governor 's wife . no , i will see you in hell before that happens . robin : you know what ? you 're pathetic , andrea . why do n't you just get out of this hotel room right now ! patrick : wait . wait . robin : ohh . [ gasps ] patrick : okay . i mean ... robin : hmm . okay , right . but murder weapon . now it has blood on it , so she ca n't leave it in the hotel room . so whatever it was had to have been heavy enough to kill her , but light enough to put in her purse so she could take it -- patrick : hey . hey . hey . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'm sure that nothing elizabeth walked in on would qualify as a big surprise to anyone . i shut myself in here to drink until i passed out and , as you can see , trashed the room . elizabeth marched in and picked up the room , pointed out that , uh , being a raging drunk does n't really solve anything , and then gave me some excellent advice as to my addiction to my own suffering , right ? lucky : elizabeth 's right . wallowing is pointless . and so is nailing yourself to a cross , which you also have a tendency to do , so we 're gon na protect you from your worst instincts if we have to camp out . right , elizabeth ? elizabeth : of course . whatever it takes . nikolas : no . no , absolutely not . look , you 're off the hook , okay ? i appreci -- i appreciate the offer , but i 've taken enough advantage of elizabeth for one night . you two go ahead and go on home . i really wan na be alone . elizabeth : come on , lucky . let 's go . lucky : w - wait . do you really think we should leave him alone ? elizabeth : you heard what he said . he wants to be alone . let 's respect that . nikolas , you -- you know where we are if you need us . okay , come on . nikolas : elizabeth . bye . [ scene_break ] sonny : why did n't you just come to me ? alexis : because you 're married to claudia . sonny : but i could have fixed it . i could have done something . why ? why di -- i mean ... alexis : because she loves you , because she loves me , and because she thinks she has to be perfect for both of us and because she did something that was really bad and she does n't know how to fix it . sonny : i do n't want you to take the fall for this , okay ? i do n't want that to happen . alexis : i will do whatever i need to do to help her . sonny : all right . alexis : sonny , please , will you help me find her ? sonny : okay , look . i -- i do n't wan na go here , but i -- but i think i know a way out of this . just come with me . come on . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so of course i was disappointed by maximista 's initial lack of response to my proposal , although i was heartened by her decision to wear my ring , but the world has since righted itself , and she has accepted my hand , despite the proud patriarch 's fierce rage . it is of his opinion that i am not worthy of maximista . and actually , on that point , we do agree , but miraculously , she has chosen me regardless . jax : how 's that trace coming ? spinelli : oh , it 's in -- it 's in progress . actually , in the meantime , maybe i could take advantage of having two experts in the field . carly : experts ? jax : what field ? spinelli : w -- in the path to the altar , as it were . well , i -- i mean , at last count , i think there 's 12 such journeys between the two of you . um , and , uh , i mean , stop me if i flounder , but , uh , the valkyrie , what , started with a.j . and then , well , sonny , sonny once again , and then sonny once again and then , um , the late and unlamented darth alcazar and , uh , sonny and then , uh , well , o - of course the white knight . let 's see . there would be miranda first , then alexis and skye and courtney and then the valkyrie . yay . and that does not include the , um , 3 weddings to brenda that were either interrupted or deemed illegal . jax : right . carly : he 's done his homework . spinelli : well , so , in your vastly well informed opinion , um , what do you think would be the most romantic site for maximista and i to join in matrimonial bliss ? [ scene_break ] sam : that crawl space was filthy . if your wounds were n't infected , they definitely are now . jason : [ wincing ] if i could just get some -- get some water and some sleep -- sam : no , no , no , no , no , no . what you need is a doctor , but there 's no way to make that happen . jason , the cars -- cars do n't work , and i ca n't go on foot . oh , my god . i 'm not gon na leave you alone , okay ? jason : okay . sam : not gon na leave you alone . jason : i made a promise . whatever happens , i 'll be okay . [ scene_break ] robin : hello . andrea : hey . robin : this is a little odd . most people would knock or ring the doorbell , but whatever floats your boat . patrick : uh , andrea , please , come on in . andrea : i ca n't imagine what that must have looked like , me peering in the window that way . i was just trying to decide whether to interrupt or not . robin : well , here you are . is there a reason for coming to our house at such a late hour ? andrea : one of my housekeepers said she ran into you outside of my home earlier . i just wanted to make sure there was n't something you wanted to see me about . robin : no . actually , i was just jogging by with my little girl , and i wanted to change her . i was n't on your property , if that 's what you were worried about . andrea : there 's no need for hostility . at least , not apparently to me , but you see things differently . so why do n't we just cut to the chase ? i mean , clearly you 're very interested in my personal life , so here 's the green light . just ask me anything you wan na know . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you see what happens when you leave me to my own devices ? i am a walking disaster . you think being a -- a dupe for rebecca and ethan would be enough . no , no , no . i had to top it , did n't i ? i am so ashamed of myself right now , emily . i did something so wrong , so selfish tonight . elizabeth came out here , and she just wanted to help me . instead of being humble and grateful , i took advantage of her kindness instead . heh heh . [ sighs ] because the part of me that is good and honorable , it 's -- it 's gone , gone missing somewhere . you took it with you , and all that 's left now is this bottomless pit of insatiable need . and then the one woman that i thought could make a difference ... molly : who are you talking to ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay . great minds think alike , but mine works even faster , evidenced by the fact that spinelli is here running the trace when you went to call him . sonny : well , i never denied you 're more devious than i am . carly : see , now that 's supposed to be a zing , but it 's not going to insult me at all . not at all . jax : how you holding up ? alexis : ah , much better now that i know kristina and michael are all right . so how -- what is the progress with spinelli ? jax : ah , spinelli seems confident that he can find their location by that e - mail . soon as he does , i 'm gon na go down there and get them . sonny : oh , no , no , no . that 's not happening , 'cause they 're my kids . i 'm the one that 's gon na go . jax : with all due respect , sonny , your first impulse was to let jason handle it , and we all know how well that 's going , do n't we ? we have n't heard from him in days . [ scene_break ] [ jungle birds calling ] sam : come on . there you go . jason : [ sighs ] that feels good . sam : that 's the idea . jason : i -- you look -- you look sad . sam : no . uh - uh . i 'm great . jason : i know this is n't what you had in mind . but i 'll -- i 'll be better tomorrow . then we could swim in the cove that you like . sam : cove ? jason : i - i 'm glad you talked me into comin ' to hawaii . you were right . it 's very peaceful . [ scene_break ] patrick : um , sorry about the interruption . andrea : oh , please . oh , i completely understand . babies cry . mommies respond . patrick : yeah . andrea : never been blessed myself . not that i 'm remotely maternal . patrick : hmm . well , at least you know , right ? andrea : true . patrick : yeah . robin : emma insisted on joining us . patrick : oh . yeah , she 's bossy that way , are n't you ? robin : [ chuckles ] andrea : myrna just went on and on about how adorable she was , and i can see why . patrick : yeah . so , uh , that 's why robin was -- was by your house that day , because emma loves being in the jogger , which in turn , has made us athletic kind of in spite of ourselves , and we -- because we 're both type - a personalities , well , it 's become a competition . and , hey , you did n't tell me you went all the way down to harbor view road . that means i have to go twice as far tomorrow , and i 'm not gon na like that . robin : heh . sorry . patrick : sorry . andrea : well , if you 're ever in need of a refreshment or a -- a diaper change , ring the bell next time . patrick : yeah . yeah , thanks . we 'll do that . andrea : you 're always welcome . are you -- are you sure that there is nothing you wanted to talk to me about . patrick : no . robin : uh , no , not really , but , uh , thanks for stopping by . andrea : oh . heh . i 'll get out of your way . patrick : good night . robin : good night . patrick : i mean , well -- robin : a jogging contest ? seriously ? patrick : yeah . of course a jog -- robin : you could n't come up with something better than that ? patrick : it 's better than accusing her of murder like you were just about to do . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : are you okay ? lucky : yeah . i was just thinking maybe we should n't have left nikolas . he seemed so dark . elizabeth : i have a feeling we were n't helping very much . lucky : you were , i mean , before i showed up . i mean , if what i saw of nikolas was an improvement , how was he when you got to him ? elizabeth : he was angry and hurt , like anyone would be after finding out that someone they cared and trusted played them for a fool . lucky : and i know you . so why are you pretending you 're not upset about something ? nikolas was n't abusive towards you , was he ? elizabeth : no . god , no . i mean , he may be humiliated , but he 's still nikolas . he would never hurt me . lucky : why are you so tense ? elizabeth : because -- because i -- i do n't like to see him in this much pain , and i just wish there was something i could do to help him , but i ca n't . [ scene_break ] nikolas : molly 's at wyndemere . alexis : wyndemere ? nikolas : yeah . it 's -- it 's all right , though . she 's fine . alexis : oh . well , that 's a relief . it is , but it 's certainly not the point . she 's supposed to be at home with viola . sonny : what 's wrong ? nikolas : heh . well , it 's too late to send her back now . she can just spend the night here . alexis : put her on the phone . it 's okay . molly : hi , mom . alexis : have you lost your mind , sneaking out of the house and taking the launch at night ? molly : but , mom , i needed to see nikolas . and please do n't be mad at viola . she probably does n't even know i 'm gone . alexis : this is not okay , molly , not at all . we will discuss it tomorrow . molly : sure hope we make this worth the trouble i 'm in . nikolas : well , whatever brought you out here must be pretty serious for you to make such an effort . you could have just called me , you know . molly : i did , but your butler guy said that you were `` unavailable . `` nikolas : oh . well , how can i help you ? molly : kristina ran away , a - and my mom could actually go to prison . the police think she killed the mayor 's girlfriend 'cause she 's jealous . nikolas : how could you know that ? molly : i read . anyway ... nikolas : oh . molly : somebody 's got ta do something , and since the cassadines are supposed to be so powerful and you 're the head of the family , i was hoping maybe you could fix things . [ scene_break ] alexis : apparently molly is being affected by this as well . she snuck out of the house . poor viola 's gon na feel terrible , but she made her way to wyndemere . jax : what for ? alexis : i did n't get that far . my guess is she wanted nikolas to wave his magic wand and make the situation all better . jax : yeah , but sneakin ' out of the house , that does n't sound like molly at all . alexis : both my kids are escaping . i 'm gon na have to padlock the house . carly : it ca n't be surprising that with michael and kristina gone , that the little ones are gon na try the same thing . we just got ta find them and bring 'em home . alexis : are you going after them right away ? jax : as soon as spinelli nails the location , yes . sonny : that has to happen soon , genius . and , jax , you know , i 'm gon na go . i 'm gon na get -- jax : you ca n't go after them , sonny . sonny : heh heh . jax : okay , you admitted yourself that you could lead your enemies straight to your kids . let me handle this , okay ? sonny : okay , you know what ? i - i 've tried to get along with you since you 're carly 's husband and you 're a fact of my life . they 're my children . i 'm goin ' after them . [ computer beeps ] jax : could you leave your stupid pride out of this , okay , and think about what 's best for michael and kristina here ? alexis : all right , do n't get mad at me , but i agree with him , because he 's not gon na bring an element into it that will make the situation -- sonny : i 'm goin ' after my children . final . carly : well , whoever goes , i 'm ridin ' shotgun , and that 's final . jax : no , you 're not riding shotgun . carly : i am going ! jax : you 're staying here on bed rest , carly . carly : i do n't care . spinelli : excuse me . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just feel like i should let you all know that i -- i have failed . sonny : failed ? spinelli : uh , yes . i - it seems the youngsters ' cyber savvy is , uh -- is too much for even me to handle . sonny : whatever that means , you better not be tellin ' me you ca n't find those kids . spinelli : well , i shall o - of course , uh , redouble my efforts . um , but i -- i feel the e - mail is a useless tracking tool . uh , my advice , uh , just trust in stone cold . i 'm sure he 'll recover the young ones . sonny : get your useless butt out of here . oh , man . that 's -- that 's like ...

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas has never come out of the grieving process . everything he does -- fixating on rebecca , being self - destructive -- is all about emily 's death , and any woman who comes into his life right now is just a substitute for emily . lucky : and i tried to tell him that before he started getting involved with rebecca . elizabeth : we all did -- you , me , alexis . he did n't wan na hear it , remember ? lucky : you know what ? this just -- just makes me realize all over again how fortunate we are that nothing 's happened between us that we ca n't take back . [ scene_break ] nikolas : you know , this might be a silly thing to ask you , but do you know what `` self - centered `` means ? molly : sure . selfish . nikolas : exactly . exactly . and that is what i have been lately , selfish , wrapped up in myself , you know . i wan na thank you for pointing out what i should have seen myself . my family 's in trouble , and you and your mom and kristina , you need me , and i think that that 's one thing i might be able to get right , so i promise i will use all my influence at my disposal to fix things . molly : thanks . nikolas : you 're welcome . molly : by the way , who were you talking to before ? nikolas : oh , right . emily . i know you know that she 's not with us anymore , but i still love her , and it helps me to talk to her every once in a while . you know what ? she would be a - appalled by the way i 've been conducting myself lately , so ... that 's all gon na stop . yeah . [ scene_break ] spinelli : oh , sorry to keep you waiting . diane : i do n't know if you 're aware , but if you 're not , you should be . i charge double when i am summoned out of bed , triple when i 'm not alone . and while i am sure that jason will pay , i 'm sure he 's going to wonder just exactly what the emergency is . spinelli : actually , uh , this is not stone cold 's monetary responsibility . i called upon your services , and i will pay whatever you demand . diane : oh . well , in that case , mr. grasshopper , how can i be of service ? spinelli : the jackal 's last will and testament must be revised immediately . diane : why the sudden urgency ? has someone threatened your life ? do i -- do i really want to be here with you ? spinelli : no , you are -- you are quite safe . it 's not by , uh , ambush that i fear my death . it 's something much more up close and personal . diane : oh , i just know i 'm gon na regret this , but tell me everything . spinelli : the jackal 's presence was requested rather pleasantly a - at first by the valkyrie and her white knight , but soon the occasion expanded and mr. sir arrived and demanded rather ferociously that i -- diane : yeah , bup - bup - bup - bup . sonny threatened to kill you ? spinelli : well , not yet , but i expect him to . diane : ho ho . well , what on earth for ? i mean , i know you drive sonny bonkers to the point of distraction , but murder is a rather extreme reaction , even for sonny , do n't you think ? spinelli : yeah , i expect that will change when he learns that i , um , in front of him and the other parental units , located the fugitive teens and , well , neglected to mention it . diane : oh , dear . spinelli : yes . and once that becomes clear to mr. sir , i expect that my life will -- will not be worth the proverbial plugged nickel . um , and of course only stone cold could dissuade mr. sir from enacting horrible and lethal vengeance , and unfortunately stone cold is nowhere to be found . [ scene_break ] jason : wh - what do you wan na do tomorrow ? sam : well , we said no plans , remember ? we 're just gon na take each -- each day that comes . we 'll do whatever you wan na do . and just sit by the water and -- and veg . then what we 'll do -- jason : no , you always -- you always make it about me . i wan na do something for you for a change . sam : oh , wow . come on , jason . really . like you are n't the guy who was there for me when i was pregnant with someone else 's baby . you were the guy who held pieces of me together when my -- when my daughter died . and you certainly made the last few months of my brother 's life just amazing . so , right , yeah . heh . it sucks to be me . i have n't reaped one , single benefit from -- jason : and you were shot at , threatened , and roughed up . sam : yeah . nobody 's perfect . jason : i 'm serious . i -- i wan na do somethin ' for you . sam : okay . you can . you can just keep talking . keep talking , connecting like this . [ scene_break ] patrick : emma is down , and i have to give her some props . her timing is impeccable . if she did n't start crying , i 'm sure you would have accused andrea of murder before you had any evidence . robin : [ sighs ] what -- she knows that i suspect her . patrick : really ? now you -- so , what ? you just do n't care anymore ? robin : it 's time to solve this case . as far as i 'm concerned , the gloves are off . patrick : hmm . so what 's next , sherlock ? robin : well , i think we need to get inventory of what was in the hotel suite that night , see if anything was missing , preferably an object heavy enough to have killed brianna and small enough for andrea to have put it in her purse . it would also be nice to get a witness of , uh , someone seeing andrea at the hotel the time of the murder . patrick : you said it yourself . she 's cold and calculating . if she knows that you suspect her , she 's gon na work twice as hard to cover her tracks . robin : i 'm ready for andrea floyd . [ scene_break ] andrea : excuse me . i 'm looking for dr. robin scorpio . nurse : do you have an appointment ? andrea : i 'm just looking for a consult . nurse : oh . oh , i 'm sorry . dr. scorpio is n't on duty . would you like to leave a message ? andrea : uh , would it be possible to look at her schedule ? that way , i might know when she 's available . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't know whether to be impressed that michael 's computer skills are advanced enough to stump spinelli or to be even more worried . sonny : i do n't buy it . jason swears you put a computer in front of that weirdo , and he can heal the world . what 's happening is spinelli 's gettin ' lazy because his master is n't around to please . what he needs is a fire lit under his butt , and i 'm just the one to do it . carly : okay , you know what , sonny ? let 's hope it does n't come to that , all right ? let 's just hope that jason finds michael and kristina and he calls and then he 'll bring 'em home . jax : well , that would be the best possible outcome . i mean , jason 's profile 's a hell of a lot smaller than yours . [ cell phone rings ] alexis : it 's mac . excuse me . what can i do for you , commissioner ? mac : i 'm sure this wo n't come as a surprise , but i wanted you to hear it from me . the final lab results came back on the paint chips from the scrape on the bumper on your second hybrid . it was a match to claudia 's car . alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : as soon as the white knight and mr. sir began arguing about who would fetch the wayward teens , it became very clear to me that mr. sir would not be dissuaded , but as jax rightly pointed out , mr. sir is a target for violence . his presence there might further endanger michael and kristina . i -- i did n't want to risk their tender , young lives . diane : i agree . jax is the wisest choice , although sonny will never see it that way . he wo n't be stopped . spinelli : my sentiments exactly , which leads us to our current predicament and need to make sure my worldly affairs are in order . diane : [ laughing ] yes . yes , well -- ahem . it never hurts to be prepared , and i think it 's very generous of you to want to split your estate between maxie and your grandmother , but i do n't think these precautions are necessary . spinelli : of course . i - i 'm sure you 're right . but the -- the point will soon be moot , for stone cold and samantha , i am sure , are closing in on the missing teens as we speak . [ scene_break ] sam : by far the most beautiful sunset i think we ever saw was off the coast of maui . we were in the middle of nowhere , and the sky -- are you in pain ? jason : i 'm fine . sam : heh . i should know better than to ask , 'cause your answer is always the same . jason : i do n't say it enough ... but i love you . sam : i love you , too .

liz halts kissing nikolas just before lucky arrives . the two leave wyndemere . alexis admits kristina 's guilt to sonny . jax and carly call upon spinelli to find out where the email from the kids came from . spinelli asks jax and carly their opinion about his marriage to maxie . sam and jason manage to get out of sight before jerry comes into the bedroom at the church . once jerry heads off , sam and jason come out of hiding . jason gets confused and thinks he 's with sam in the past . sam goes along with jason 's confusion to keep him awake . the two exchange `` i love you 's . `` andrea lurks outside of patrick and robin 's house . the two are inside discussing the murder . andrea asks robin if they need to discuss anything seeing as the housekeeper informed her of robin 's proximity to the mayor 's house . when robin leaves the room to tend to the baby , patrick makes up an excuse as to why robin and the baby were near the mayor 's home . molly finds nik alone and talking to himself . molly asks for nik 's help with the alexis and kristina situation . nik says he will do what he can to help out . jax and sonny disagree on how to handle the situation once the kid 's location is pinned down . sonny gets upset with spinelli when he ca n't locate the kids . spinelli later tells diane that he did find the kids but did n't tell the others because sonny may put them in further danger . liz and lucky discuss nik 's situation . robin is prepared to get the goods on andrea . meanwhile , andrea noses around at gh , saying she wants to make an appointment to see robin . mac tells alexis it was definitely her car that came into contact with claudia 's car , given the results from the lab .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : gracious greetings , white knight and the luminously pregnant valkyrie . you are glowing , as they say . carly : thank you , spinelli . i -- i wanted to tell you -- spinelli : oh , yes . you know , i also have a reason for almost unbearable joy . uh , may i take this opportunity to announce my official -- carly : okay , i wan na hear whatever it is you wan na tell me , but we just got an e - mail from michael and kristina . jax : it was sent from an unknown e - mail address via pda . carly : we 're hoping you could trace it a - and we could bring our kids home . spinelli : i must a - admit i 'm a bit taken back . have you lost your faith in stone cold ? [ scene_break ] robin : okay , just listen . maybe i 've been thinking about the brianna hughes case incorrectly . what if the murder was n't premeditated ? patrick : okay . robin : andrea floyd tracked mayor floyd down and brianna . she knew that they were going to be at the metro court hotel . she wanted to confront them about the relationship , right ? so she gets there . she 's in the hallway . she does n't really have a way to get in , and all of a sudden , mayor floyd walks out of the hotel room . in the heat of the moment , she thinks , `` well , i 'm just gon na go in . `` patrick : okay , but i do n't think brianna would just let andrea walk in the room . robin : right , but she would n't have been expecting andrea . maybe she thought mayor floyd turned around and forgotten his key or something . either way , andrea had the element of surprise on her side . she could have easily just walked right in . patrick : okay . i 'm with you so far . robin : okay , brianna and andrea start to fight . it gets heated pretty quickly , and then all of a sudden , andrea realizes that brianna 's holding her head ; she must have sustained some sort of blow , right ? and then she thinks , `` why not ? i mean , why not another blow to the same spot and just end this whole mortifying situation right away ? `` patrick : so you think andrea walked in , grabbed some random object , hit brianna in the head ? you -- you think it happened that way ? robin : you 're not convinced . why ? patrick : i 'm just saying that 's -- i mean , in the heat of the moment , that would be pretty tough , andrea to hit brianna in the exact same spot as her shower injury . she 'd have one chance to strike a very specific blow . robin : did you not meet this cold , calculating person that is andrea floyd ? i mean , she was totally capable of doing this . she had motive . i do n't think either one of them could see it , but as soon as andrea walked in that room , brianna did n't have a chance .

[ scene_break ] alexis : you seem to be making a lot of assumptions . sonny : no , no , no , no . i 'm just calling you out on what i know is true , alexis . i understand -- look . y - your impulse to protect kristina , i applaud it . i 'd do the same thing , but i 'm not law enforcement here . i 'm her dad . and if she had anything to do with -- with , uh , claudia 's accident , i have a right to know . i 'm not fi -- i 'm not gon na fight you on this . i 'm just trying to help you , but y - you got ta -- you got ta keep me in the loop . alexis : it appears that our daughter had a severe lapse of judgment . she took the car ... without a license and apparently extremely unfocused , and it seems that she ran claudia off the road . she 's in a lot of trouble , and she 's gone because she ca n't face you and because she ca n't face me . she 's our baby , and we have to help her . spinelli : i must admit to a little bit of emotional conflict . i -- i do n't normally intrude on , um , stone cold 's work , a - and i trust stone cold 's ability to locate the young ones wholeheartedly and implicitly . carly : okay , look , you 're preachin ' to the choir . i trust jason more than ever . i just have n't heard from him , and this lead fell into our laps . jax : can you trace the e - mail ? spinelli : can i tra -- that 's cute . yeah . no , the location of the runaways will be revealed . jax : good . that 's what i was hoping you 'd say . as soon as you find them , i 'll go get them . carly : hey , we 'll go get them . i 'm not sittin ' this one out .

[ gasps ] patrick : okay . i mean ... robin : hmm . okay , right . but murder weapon . now it has blood on it , so she ca n't leave it in the hotel room . so whatever it was had to have been heavy enough to kill her , but light enough to put in her purse so she could take it -- patrick : hey . hey . hey . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'm sure that nothing elizabeth walked in on would qualify as a big surprise to anyone . i shut myself in here to drink until i passed out and , as you can see , trashed the room . elizabeth marched in and picked up the room , pointed out that , uh , being a raging drunk does n't really solve anything , and then gave me some excellent advice as to my addiction to my own suffering , right ? lucky : elizabeth 's right . wallowing is pointless . and so is nailing yourself to a cross , which you also have a tendency to do , so we 're gon na protect you from your worst instincts if we have to camp out . right , elizabeth ? elizabeth : of course . whatever it takes . nikolas : no . no , absolutely not . look , you 're off the hook , okay ? i appreci -- i appreciate the offer , but i 've taken enough advantage of elizabeth for one night . you two go ahead and go on home . i really wan na be alone . elizabeth : come on , lucky . let 's go . lucky : w - wait . do you really think we should leave him alone ? elizabeth : you heard what he said . he wants to be alone . let 's respect that . nikolas , you -- you know where we are if you need us . okay , come on . nikolas : elizabeth . bye .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : so of course i was disappointed by maximista 's initial lack of response to my proposal , although i was heartened by her decision to wear my ring , but the world has since righted itself , and she has accepted my hand , despite the proud patriarch 's fierce rage . it is of his opinion that i am not worthy of maximista . and actually , on that point , we do agree , but miraculously , she has chosen me regardless . jax : how 's that trace coming ? spinelli : oh , it 's in -- it 's in progress . actually , in the meantime , maybe i could take advantage of having two experts in the field . carly : experts ? jax : what field ? spinelli : w -- in the path to the altar , as it were . well , i -- i mean , at last count , i think there 's 12 such journeys between the two of you . um , and , uh , i mean , stop me if i flounder , but , uh , the valkyrie , what , started with a.j . and then , well , sonny , sonny once again , and then sonny once again and then , um , the late and unlamented darth alcazar and , uh , sonny and then , uh , well , o - of course the white knight . let 's see . there would be miranda first , then alexis and skye and courtney and then the valkyrie . yay . and that does not include the , um , 3 weddings to brenda that were either interrupted or deemed illegal . jax : right . carly : he 's done his homework . spinelli : well , so , in your vastly well informed opinion , um , what do you think would be the most romantic site for maximista and i to join in matrimonial bliss ? [ scene_break ] sam : that crawl space was filthy . if your wounds were n't infected , they definitely are now . jason : [ wincing ] if i could just get some -- get some water and some sleep -- sam : no , no , no , no , no , no . what you need is a doctor , but there 's no way to make that happen . jason , the cars -- cars do n't work , and i ca n't go on foot . oh , my god . i 'm not gon na leave you alone , okay ? jason : okay . sam : not gon na leave you alone . jason : i made a promise . whatever happens , i 'll be okay .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you see what happens when you leave me to my own devices ? i am a walking disaster . you think being a -- a dupe for rebecca and ethan would be enough . no , no , no . i had to top it , did n't i ? i am so ashamed of myself right now , emily . i did something so wrong , so selfish tonight . elizabeth came out here , and she just wanted to help me . instead of being humble and grateful , i took advantage of her kindness instead . heh heh . [ sighs ] because the part of me that is good and honorable , it 's -- it 's gone , gone missing somewhere . you took it with you , and all that 's left now is this bottomless pit of insatiable need . and then the one woman that i thought could make a difference ... molly : who are you talking to ? [ scene_break ] carly : okay . great minds think alike , but mine works even faster , evidenced by the fact that spinelli is here running the trace when you went to call him . sonny : well , i never denied you 're more devious than i am . carly : see , now that 's supposed to be a zing , but it 's not going to insult me at all . not at all . jax : how you holding up ? alexis : ah , much better now that i know kristina and michael are all right . so how -- what is the progress with spinelli ? jax : ah , spinelli seems confident that he can find their location by that e - mail . soon as he does , i 'm gon na go down there and get them . sonny : oh , no , no , no . that 's not happening , 'cause they 're my kids . i 'm the one that 's gon na go . jax : with all due respect , sonny , your first impulse was to let jason handle it , and we all know how well that 's going , do n't we ? we have n't heard from him in days .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas has never come out of the grieving process . everything he does -- fixating on rebecca , being self - destructive -- is all about emily 's death , and any woman who comes into his life right now is just a substitute for emily . lucky : and i tried to tell him that before he started getting involved with rebecca . elizabeth : we all did -- you , me , alexis . he did n't wan na hear it , remember ? lucky : you know what ? this just -- just makes me realize all over again how fortunate we are that nothing 's happened between us that we ca n't take back .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : oh , sorry to keep you waiting . diane : i do n't know if you 're aware , but if you 're not , you should be . i charge double when i am summoned out of bed , triple when i 'm not alone . and while i am sure that jason will pay , i 'm sure he 's going to wonder just exactly what the emergency is . spinelli : actually , uh , this is not stone cold 's monetary responsibility . i called upon your services , and i will pay whatever you demand . diane : oh . well , in that case , mr. grasshopper , how can i be of service ? spinelli : the jackal 's last will and testament must be revised immediately . diane : why the sudden urgency ? has someone threatened your life ? do i -- do i really want to be here with you ? spinelli : no , you are -- you are quite safe . it 's not by , uh , ambush that i fear my death . it 's something much more up close and personal . diane : oh , i just know i 'm gon na regret this , but tell me everything . spinelli : the jackal 's presence was requested rather pleasantly a - at first by the valkyrie and her white knight , but soon the occasion expanded and mr. sir arrived and demanded rather ferociously that i -- diane : yeah , bup - bup - bup - bup . sonny threatened to kill you ? spinelli : well , not yet , but i expect him to . diane : ho ho . well , what on earth for ? i mean , i know you drive sonny bonkers to the point of distraction , but murder is a rather extreme reaction , even for sonny , do n't you think ? spinelli : yeah , i expect that will change when he learns that i , um , in front of him and the other parental units , located the fugitive teens and , well , neglected to mention it . diane : oh , dear . spinelli : yes . and once that becomes clear to mr. sir , i expect that my life will -- will not be worth the proverbial plugged nickel . um , and of course only stone cold could dissuade mr. sir from enacting horrible and lethal vengeance , and unfortunately stone cold is nowhere to be found . [ scene_break ] jason : wh - what do you wan na do tomorrow ? sam : well , we said no plans , remember ? we 're just gon na take each -- each day that comes . we 'll do whatever you wan na do . and just sit by the water and -- and veg . then what we 'll do -- jason : no , you always -- you always make it about me . i wan na do something for you for a change . sam : oh , wow . come on , jason . really . like you are n't the guy who was there for me when i was pregnant with someone else 's baby . you were the guy who held pieces of me together when my -- when my daughter died . and you certainly made the last few months of my brother 's life just amazing . so , right , yeah . heh . it sucks to be me . i have n't reaped one , single benefit from -- jason : and you were shot at , threatened , and roughed up . sam : yeah . nobody 's perfect . jason : i 'm serious . i -- i wan na do somethin ' for you . sam : okay . you can . you can just keep talking . keep talking , connecting like this .

[ scene_break ] carly : i do n't know whether to be impressed that michael 's computer skills are advanced enough to stump spinelli or to be even more worried . sonny : i do n't buy it . jason swears you put a computer in front of that weirdo , and he can heal the world . what 's happening is spinelli 's gettin ' lazy because his master is n't around to please . what he needs is a fire lit under his butt , and i 'm just the one to do it . carly : okay , you know what , sonny ? let 's hope it does n't come to that , all right ? let 's just hope that jason finds michael and kristina and he calls and then he 'll bring 'em home . jax : well , that would be the best possible outcome . i mean , jason 's profile 's a hell of a lot smaller than yours .

cane : i know you have a lot of questions . devon : well , she seems to have all the answers , does n't she ? cane : maybe she 's in shock . okay ? maybe she just wants to blame someone for what happened with hilary and the baby . shauna : the only person i blame is lily . it 's her fault that hilary 's dead . cane : this has been a really traumatic day for everyone -- shauna : i know what i saw . you ran that red light . lily : no . shauna : the truck that slammed into you had the right - of - way . lily : that ca n't be true . cane : that might be what shauna thinks she saw . but she was upset that day . because lily said some really harsh things to you , and everything was moving fast , right ? shauna : none of that is affecting my memory . cane : okay , then you 're making it up 'cause you want to alleviate your own guilt . or maybe you just want to hurt lily . is that what you 're doing ? shauna : i am not the one who 's lying here . devon : well , somebody is . shauna : you think it 's me ? you do n't believe what i 'm telling you ? devon : i do n't know what to believe right now . but i also do n't know why you 'd lie about something like this . charlie : she 's not lying . i 'm sorry , mom . she 's telling the truth . you did n't see the red light . the accident was your fault . nikki : well this has been lovely . summer : yeah , you can never go wrong with bling . and this wine is amazing . victor : [ laughs ] victoria : well , it should be . it 's an ' 89 château margaux . victor : yeah . it was perfect for our celebration , you know . victoria : [ giggles ] you still have n't told us what it is that we 're celebrating . victor : life . okay ?

's attack . victoria : i vote we move past that . victor : i and newman enterprises will move forward . nikki : i hope you 're planning on letting us do that with you . victor : well , sweetheart , you already have . unbeknownst to you , unbeknownst to all of you , newman enterprises is beginning to recover from the blow that nicholas has dealt us . and that is mostly due to you , my sweetheart . you were the driving force behind that . victoria : thank you for saying that . victor : you know that i appreciate it enormously , and that i admire you , okay ? victoria : well , i hope you always feel that way , dad . victor : yes . despite the fact that some of my children and grandchildren have turned their back on me , i 'm a lucky man . i 'm lucky to have your unwavering support and your love . that means a hell of a lot to me . much more than you realize . so let us drink to that . you all hold a very special place in my heart . victoria : cheers . summer : cheers . nikki : cheers . devon : lily , tell me you did n't do this . lily : i -- i -- devon : just please tell me that you did n't do it ! neil : devon , try to stay calm . devon : i do n't want to stay calm right now , neil . i would like answers . neil : okay . we all want answers . charlie , tell us what you saw . charlie : um ... we were in the car . and it was mom , me , and hilary . and we were looking for shauna . well , i was . um ... mom and hilary were arguing . and things got heated . and ... um ... neil : and ? and what ? go on , charlie . mom turned her head to look at hilary and ran the red light . and then the truck ... devon : hm . i held hilary in my arms while she died . this is like going through that again . you know that ? lily : devon , i do n't -- i do n't know what to say . i -- i did n't know . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . neil : hey . come on . all right ? come on , family . this is a heavy revelation . it 's very deep . but it does n't change the fact that hilary 's death was an accident . devon : charlie , shauna , why did n't you guys say anything before ? charlie : do n't blame shauna , uncle devon . okay ? she wanted to say something . but i - i begged her to keep quiet . shauna : i just could n't do it anymore . not with hilary gone . and lily acting all sad , like she cared about her . devon : and , charlie , why would you put her through that hell ? charlie : i -- cane : it was because of me . i asked charlie not to say anything . cane : okay . devon : so you 've known from the start ? cane : charlie told me what he saw at the hospital . lily : cane , you should have told me . cane : baby , i can explain . devon : there 's not an excuse for making the kids lie like that . if shauna had never spoken up , you were n't gon na say a word . cane : i knew the truth would come out eventually . devon : and in the meantime , you 're gon na let them go through hell ? how you gon na do that to shauna and your own damn son ? lily : and -- and to me ! i had a right to know ! cane , i lied to the police ! cane : you did n't lie to the police . you told them exactly everything you remembered . lily : but it was n't the truth ! cane : i was just trying to protect you . phyllis : protect her ? jack : phyllis -- phyllis : who was protecting hilary ? right ? who was protecting hilary when lily ran the light ? you two have never given a damn about hilary . and she had the right to know what your wife did to her . you knew she was dying , and you kept the truth from her ! jack : phyllis , let 's go over here . phyllis : how dare you ? ! cane : [ exhales sharply ] i did n't want to hurt anybody . i just did n't want things to be worse than they already were . lily : hilary died . how could things possibly get any worse ? cane : i was afraid your brother would n't forgive you . devon : [ scoffs ] well , you know what ? you were absolutely right about that . victor : dessert , anyone ? nikki : we would like to say something first . victor : uh - oh . summer : oh , no . do n't worry , grandpa . it 's all good . victoria : mom , why do n't you start ? nikki : gladly . my darling , victoria , summer , and i want you to know how grateful and proud we are being a part of your family . victoria : we all know that you can be demanding and overbearing , and sometimes very opinionated and unpredictable . but at the center of all of that , what remains true is the love that you have for us . and that 's way more valuable than any gift that you could ever give us . summer : yes . i totally agree . and we all know how much i love shiny things . victor : you certainly do . summer : [ chuckles ] um , but seriously , grandpa . you do n't always make things easy , but you make them matter . from every chess game to every horseback ride to every lecture , you were always there . 100 % . nikki : i think what we 're all trying to say is that we love you and appreciate you as much as you do us . victor : well . that means a hell of a lot to me , much more than i can tell you . phyllis : you tell devon i 'm on his side . jack : it may not come to that . phyllis : oh , it already has . jack : tell neil if he needs anything at all to call me , all right ? nate : i will . phyllis : do n't forget to give devon my message . nate : thank you . neil : devon . devon , come on , man . lily feels terrible about causing that accident . devon : you know how i feel ? i feel like somebody ripped my heart out of my chest , that 's what i feel like . lily : devon , i never , never meant for this to happen . devon : well , it would n't have happened if you did n't try and drive in the state you were in , right ? cane : none of this would have happened if hilary had n't let shauna and charlie hook up at your place ! devon : is that right ? neil : okay , hey -- cane : that 's right ! neil : take a breath ! right here , right now . before we say something that we 're gon na regret . now , i know that emotions are -- are really raw right now . but we got to find a way to come together as a family . nate : neil is right . times like these , we need family . even if you ca n't even see that right now . devon : the only person i want to hear from right now is lily , so can everybody else get the hell out ? cane : no . neil : i really do n't think that 's a good idea . lily : no , it 's -- it 's fine . devon and i need to talk . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nikki : well , it 's a shame that summer had to leave . victor : i know . i 'm very impressed with her work ethic , you know . nikki : another newman woman with a head for business . victor : mm . nikki : before you know it , little katie 's gon na be sitting behind a desk . victoria : no , do n't give dad any ideas . victor : well , wait a minute . when you were that age , you came to the office with me . victoria : [ sighs ] oh , my god . i got to go . victor : you do ?

[ sighs ] jack : phyllis ? i hope he 's there . lily : devon , there are no words to make up for this . devon : you 're absolutely right . lily : i should n't have gotten in the car , you know ? i - i - i -- i should n't have been driving . devon : but you were driving . you were driving , and you took your eyes off the road , right ? lily : i mean , i - i -- i must have . that 's what charlie said , you know ... i do n't know . i just -- i - i - i was arguing with hilary , and she just made me so furious -- devon : oh . so , like cane said , this is her fault ? lily : no ! that 's -- that 's not what i 'm saying . devon : what are you saying ? lily : i do n't know what i 'm saying . it just -- [ stammers ] it was a blur , okay ? we -- we were here , we got in the car , you know , we were arguing , and -- and then -- devon : hm ? lily : i just -- i ... i took my eyes off the road for one second , and that must have been why i did n't see the light . devon : so this is all just coming back to you ? lily : yes . i - i swear . devon : that 's real convenient . [ chuckles ] lily : no ! devon , i -- i tried to remember , okay , but it kept coming back the same , where , you know , we -- we were fighting , and then the truck hit us , and everything in between was blank . devon : okay . well , you know , maybe you blocked it out . lily : why would i do that ? devon : i do n't know . maybe you -- you did n't want to remember what really happened , so that way you would n't have to admit what you did . lily : please do n't tell me that you think that i -- devon : what ? that you -- you did it on purpose ? victoria : well , i 'm surprised to see you here in the middle of the afternoon . i thought you were all about business these days . nick : i had a meeting with a prospective client . victoria : one that you poached from newman ? nick : i 'm sure dad talked about it at his little get - together for loyal family members . victoria : yeah , some of us more loyal than others . nick : i bet dad used the opportunity to really solidify summer 's allegiance to him . victoria : you know , it was n't like that . it was actually very lovely . but if all you 're gon na do is tear down dad and me , then i will see you later . nick : vick , wait . there 's a lot more i want to say to you . phyllis : [ rattles door ] [ sighs ] [ lock clicks ] billy . billy : my name on the door , yeah . phyllis : i did n't think that you were -- or anyone was ... billy : why are you here ? i thought you 'd still be at devon 's . phyllis : things ended earlier than we expected . billy : [ sighs ] so you came to check up on me . phyllis : you were acting a little weird . like you were hiding something from me . i was worried . billy : that 's very sweet of you . phyllis : i 'm sorry . all right ? i 'm sorry that i doubted you . i just -- i 've had a lot of reasons do to that lately -- i 'm not gon na do this right now . i just ... [ sighs ] ... would like to be with you . i just would like to be with you . let 's go into your office , okay ? billy : no . what 's going on in there is , uh -- is private . shauna : what do you think 's going on over there ? charlie : i do n't know . it ca n't be good . i 've never seen uncle devon like that . mattie : i 'm worried about mom . cane : well , that 's what i was afraid of . that devon would take out hilary 's death on her . shauna : you 're saying that 's my fault ? charlie : no , he 's not . cane : i 'm just saying all of this could have been avoided , that 's all i 'm saying . neil : not forever . cane : well , how about , um , hilary 's funeral was n't the right time to tell devon about what happened , neil . how about that ? shauna : we should have told him way before this . cane : okay . i was trying to protect my family , including devon . mattie : shauna 's right , dad . you should n't have told her and charlie to keep quiet about mom causing the accident . cane : mattie -- mattie : i know that your heart was in the right place , but it was wrong . look at what 's happened . uncle devon could be over there losing it right now . nate : you 're right , mattie . grief can cloud your ability to see things rationally . but your dad is right , also . time does not heal everything , but it allows you to process the tragedy so you can deal with it in a more reasonable way . charlie : so you 're saying ... eventually , uncle devon can forgive my mom ? neil : let 's hope so . devon : can you not touch that ? lily : i was just -- i -- devon : what were you doing ? what ? you were thinking about how sorry you are ? that you wish you could bring hilary back ? lily : yes . i -- devon : lily , you hated her . you hated her . you thought she was selfish and manipulative , and you told her every chance you could . lily : devon , i -- hilary : would you like to deny that ? 'cause you standing here telling me that you wish things were different , i 'm not gon na buy it . lily : well , hilary did . okay ? at the hospital . i told her how sorry i was , and she forgave me . devon : congratulations for that . you want me to do it now ? that 's what you 're hoping for ? `` you killed my wife and my child . i 'm cool with it . `` lily : i would give anything to undo this . devon : well , you ca n't undo it . i 'm sorry . ca n't be undone . my wife 's gone and my child is gone . the two things that i wanted more than anything in the world , and you fought it every step of the way . you locked her in an office so that she would n't get pregnant . the thought of the two of us being tied together by a child , it drove you out of your mind . lily : i know . you 're right . you 're right . i was -- devon : i know i 'm right . lily : i was awful . i was awful . but then hilary got pregnant -- devon : and then you despised her even more ! lily : at first . but then i accepted it , because i just wanted you to be happy . and when i woke up from the accident , and i heard how badly she was hurt , all i wanted was for her and the baby to be okay . devon : oh . if you cared that much , i think you would have been a little more careful . lily : i will regret , for the rest of my life , that i wasn't . devon : you know what i 'm gon na regret ? i 'm gon na regret leaning on you this whole time . when she was in the hospital . before the funeral . telling you how grateful i was that you guys made peace . from the way you were smiling at our wedding , you 'd think you were happy for us . but i know now you were probably just relieved because hilary was gon na be out of your life for good . lily : devon , stop it , okay ? i know that you are grieving , but these are horrible things to say ! devon : this is n't coming from grief , lily . it 's coming from what i see . you wanted hilary out of my life , and because of this accident , you got your wish . billy : i would really love to get together and talk with you . maybe we can meet at the rooftop deck at the club , or the coffeehouse , or the park . wherever you would like . phyllis : anywhere but here ? billy : who wants to sit around a stuffy office ? phyllis : obviously somebody . whose identity you 're trying to keep secret . billy : elevator 's here . phyllis : yeah , i 'll take the next one . why do n't we cut to the chase . you got a poker game going on in there . billy : i 'm wounded by your lack of trust . phyllis : so yes . billy : so no . absolutely not . phyllis : you cleared the place out for some reason . billy : you want to see what 's going on in there ? phyllis : mm . billy : [ sighs ] sorry . just one more minute . happy ? phyllis : obviously you 're not gambling . but something is going on . billy : what 's going on in there is official work . it 's what a ceo does . phyllis : is this about the feasibility study that you 're doing for fenmore 's ? is that why you 're keeping me in the dark here ? billy : it 's much bigger than that , phyllis . phyllis : will you just give me a hint ? billy : what 's happening behind those closed doors is great for jabot . phyllis : how great ? billy : no . i 'm not doing that . you 're gon na have to trust me . nick : thanks for hearing me out . victoria : well , when have i ever been able to say no to you ? nick : i just -- i do n't get it . help me understand it . after everything that dad has put you through , you choose to stick by him . especially when you have other options . victoria : dark horse . nick : yes . the offer still stands . victoria : you seriously think that i am gon na come and work for you after you pretended to be j.t . ? nick : i do n't regret what i did . victoria : oh , the ends justify the means . that sounds very familiar , does n't it ? nick : i had to draw a line somewhere . victoria : well , here we are . on opposite sides of that line . nick : then cross over . victoria : nick , i wish you the best of luck with your company . but i 'm gon na stay over here . i 'm gon na rebuild newman and repair the damage that you 've done . nick : dad will never appreciate you the way i do . victoria : he already has . he 's made me c.o.o . he promised me that newman would be mine one day . nick : that should have been the case all along , vick . victoria : then you 're happy for me ? nick : i 'm worried . dad makes his promises . then he breaks them . when that happens , just know that you will always have a place at dark horse . victor : i 'm so glad you enjoyed the day . nick : when i think of how close we came to losing you ... victor : mm - hmm . nikki : every moment with family is a gift . victor : i feel the same way . nikki : i just wish nicholas could have been here with us . victor : [ sighs ] yeah . well , that 's his choice . nikki : well , he took a stand . he decided to break away from you and start something on his own , from the ground up . i would think you would admire him for that . victor : he 's trying to destroy his father , you know . besides that , i admire winners . and so far he has not proven to be one . nikki : but he is his father 's son , so ... victor : i know what you 're trying to do . but you have to reconcile to the fact that nicholas and i no longer have a father / son relationship . nikki : please do n't say that . i 'm not gon na let that happen . victor : [ sighs ] nikki : i am never going to give up on having my family be whole again . victor : i love you for it . nikki : i love you . charlie : why could n't you just keep quiet ? shauna : i 'm not gon na apologize for telling the truth . charlie : yeah , but do n't you see what happened ? my uncle hates my mom . neil : hey , hey , hey , hey . charlie , it 's not about shauna . if anything , it falls on your father . cane : are you really gon na do this here ? neil : why do n't you man up ? why do n't you own what you did ? what you always do . which is lie . it is your default setting , is n't it ? cane : i was trying to protect my family . that 's what i was trying to -- neil : really ? how 's that working out for you now ? mattie : grandpa 's right . [ sighs ] if charlie and shauna had told the truth from the beginning , uncle devon would n't be so angry with mom right now . cane : sweetheart , there is so much more at stake here than devon being upset with your mom . do you understand that ? mattie : what do you mean ? cane : if your mother is found to be at fault for this accident , she could be in serious trouble with the law . does anybody want that ? do you want that ? lily : devon , if you want to blame me for the accident , then go ahead . but not for one second did i ever want hilary gone . i would never purposely run a red light , especially with my own son in the car . but maybe that 's why you 're saying it . because you 're -- you 're so overloaded with grief that you ca n't even see another outcome . look , i will carry the guilt of what i have done for the rest of my life . but please , devon , please , do not let this tear us apart . devon : lily , you have your own family . you should go be with them . lily : you have a family , too . devon : actually , you know what , thanks to you , i don't . lily : [ sobbing ]

tempers flared when charlie and shauna revealed that lily caused the accident that killed hilary and the baby . phyllis lashed out at cane and lily . cane admitted that he 'd asked the kids to keep quiet . lily was upset that cane kept her in the dark . cane said he was trying to protect his family . devon confronted lily about the way she 'd treated hilary , and he accused her of being glad that hilary died . lily apologized and swore she never meant for it to happen . devon told her he did n't have a family anymore thanks to her . neil accused cane of being a habitual liar . cane told everyone that lily could be in trouble with the law if she was found to be at fault for the accident . jack was there for phyllis after the funeral . phyllis went to make sure billy was n't gambling again , and she found him at work having a business meeting . billy refused to divulge the topic of the meeting to phyllis .

<s>[INST] [ previously_on ] nick : i need to know who is on my team . because make no mistake -- this is happening . and i would rather do it with you than without you . victoria : i want it in writing that i will take over when you step down . victor : i can think of no one better qualified to run newman real estate division than you . phyllis : you make it easy . jack : while billy ... phyllis : doesn't . is billy ever gon na change ? charlie : look , i saw my mom run the red light , too . shauna : does she know ? charlie : she ca n't remember . cane : no one can know about the red light . not the cops , and not lily . do you understand this ? you do n't say a word . shauna : you caused it , lily . you 're the one who ran through that red light . and hilary is dead because of you . devon : is what shauna said true ? did you cause the accident ? lily : no ! [ stammers ] i do n't know . devon : she just said you ran a red light , lily . lily : i could n't have . shauna : you keep claiming you do n't remember what happened . lily : because i do n't remember ! shauna : i do . you caused the accident . cane : shauna , shauna , i know you 're upset , okay , but you 're mistaken . shauna : i know what i saw . cane : you 're exhausted , okay , so maybe just -- charlie , take her upstairs and just -- just lay down for a little bit and relax , okay ? charlie : yeah . come on . devon : no , no , no , no , no . shauna 's not going anywhere . you 're gon na stay right here and tell me exactly what happened the night of hilary 's accident . nick : hey . thanks for meeting me . summer : yeah . you thought i would n't ? nick : well , you know , your kids get old . they , uh -- they get busy . they move to mumbai . summer : well , i will always have time for you . and i do n't think i have any plans to move to india . nick : good to know . on both fronts . summer : so , anything special that you wanted to talk about ? nick : well , you know , how 's your mom doing ? i know hilary 's funeral is today . summer : yeah . she , uh , was having a tough time when she was getting ready today , but she 's doing that strong thing that she does . nick : it 's gon na be a hard day for her . summer : well , it 's really sweet that you 're worried about her , but mom 's strong , so she 'll be okay . nick : i always worry about the people i care about . that includes you . summer : oh - kay . well , here comes the real reason why you wanted to talk to me . nick : no . summer : mm - hmm . nick : okay . there is something i would like to talk to you about . summer : oh , yeah ? nick : yeah . i just really -- i do n't want to see you miss out on a good deal , kid . summer : oh , is there a sale at fenmore 's i did n't know about or something ? nick : [ chuckles ] i am talking about joining my team at dark horse . now , i know i told you i was n't gon na make you choose between your mom and me . but every company needs a supergirl . summer : pfft . pulling the dad card . now that is low . nick : oh , yeah . summer : mm - hmm . nick : is it working ? summer : dad , you know that i would love to work with you , i just ... i do n't know . i think that fenmore 's is a really good fit for me right now . i 'm pretty hyped about the synergy project i 'm working on with jabot . fashion and cosmetics , there 's really no better fit for me . nick : well , now that jack is on board , we will be branching into those areas eventually . plus , my offer comes with a seat on the board . summer : i mean , it 's tempting . very tempting . i just ... i do n't know . i like where i am , and i like the people that i work with . nick : okay . i know that billy is making jabot -- and fenmore 's by extension -- a fun place to work . but , summer , i assure you , that is not going to last . summer : why are you so sure that billy 's gon na fail ? nick : because he always does . and when he does , he 's gon na bring everyone down with him . and that includes you . victoria : this is really impressive , mom . you 've acquired some prime commercial properties for newman . nikki : thanks . your brother 's not the only one with connections in the real- estate world . victoria : wait till he finds out that you 're beating him at his own game . nikki : oh , do n't think that way . my goal is not to hurt your brother . it 's to help newman enterprises . victoria : well , you have certainly done that . victor : well , good . you 're both here . victoria : yes . i was just telling mom how happy i am to have her on our team . victor : that makes two of us . victoria : we were just getting ready to go over a list of potential pr firms that i 've compiled -- victor : sweetheart , that can wait , okay ? you 're done for the day . victoria : dad , it 's early . we still have a lot of work to do . victor : that 's all right . it can wait . nikki : what 's going on ? victor : i have a surprise for you . something that 's far more important than what 's going on here . additional sponsorship nick : i can give you a hundred reasons why you should stay far away from billy . summer : i 'm good , dad . nick : we could start with the gambling . summer : i 'm pretty sure that you made it very clear to me and everyone else at the athletic club the other day what you think of billy as a person and as a c.e.o . nick : good . you were listening . summer : you 're wrong about him , dad . yes , billy may have slipped and gambled the other day again , but that 's what addicts do . just like grandma and her drinking . nick : that is not the same . summer : how ? grandma got her life back on track just like billy . billy stopped gambling . nick : for how long ? summer : you may have known billy longer , but i know him better . i work with him every day . he has done some really amazing things at jabot . nick : oh , yes . i heard about the yacht and the popcorn machine . summer : okay , it is more than that . billy has brought some really incredible energy there , and i look forward to going to work every day . and for the firs time , i 'm proud of what i do . nick : because of billy ? summer : him , and because of the project that i 'm working on with kyle , yeah . nick : why do n't you tell me about that ? summer : nice try , but you know that i ca n't give details . but , i mean , it 's gon na be really sweet once it comes together , and i want to be there once it does . nick : i admire your loyalty . you know , your drive . you have matured . it 's good to see . summer : thanks . nick : you seem like you 're a lot more grounded than when you first came back to town . summer : thanks . i mean , i guess that 's what happens when you figure out who you are and what you want . i mean , hey , i could say the same thing about you . with your new company , and your wedding coming up . nick : [ sighs ] i know you 're not sharon 's biggest fan , but i 'm hoping you can be happy for me . summer : of course i can . i mean , i see how much you love her . your relationship 's the real deal . unlike mom 's . nick : why do you say that ? summer : i do n't know . she just does n't seem as into billy as she was when i first got back into town . i feel like something 's happened . nick : like what ? summer : i do n't know yet . oh , sho -- my gosh . grandpa 's gon na kill me . i have to go . nick : meeting dad ? summer : yeah . it 's a family thing . nick : oh , it 's okay . i know how much your grandpa means to you . i would n't do anything to take that away from you . summer : thanks . nick : just please remember that all your grandpa 's love and generosity comes with strings . summer : thanks , dad . nick : love you . summer : love you . nikki : um ... i think the restaurant is closed . victor : well , to everyone but us . victoria : what 's going on ? victor : i bought the entire dining room . victoria : oh . well , the table 's set for four . victor : summer will be joining us . i have a celebration for the three of you . victoria : what 's the occasion ? victor : nothing more than to remind all of you how lucky i am to have the three of you in my life . jack : you know what , we should go . phyllis : no . no . no . no , not until i hear what shauna has to say . jack : phyllis -- phyllis : i 'm not leaving . cane : look , i know you 've been through enough today , okay , so just let this go for now . devon : and we 're gon na ignore what shauna just said ? cane : i know you have a lot of questions . devon : well , she seems to have all the answers , does n't she ? cane : maybe she 's in shock . okay ? maybe she just wants to blame someone for what happened with hilary and the baby . shauna : the only person i blame is lily . it 's her fault that hilary 's dead . cane : this has been a really traumatic day for everyone -- shauna : i know what i saw . you ran that red light . lily : no . shauna : the truck that slammed into you had the right - of - way . lily : that ca n't be true . cane : that might be what shauna thinks she saw . but she was upset that day . because lily said some really harsh things to you , and everything was moving fast , right ? shauna : none of that is affecting my memory . cane : okay , then you 're making it up 'cause you want to alleviate your own guilt . or maybe you just want to hurt lily . is that what you 're doing ? shauna : i am not the one who 's lying here . devon : well , somebody is . shauna : you think it 's me ? you do n't believe what i 'm telling you ? devon : i do n't know what to believe right now . but i also do n't know why you 'd lie about something like this . charlie : she 's not lying . i 'm sorry , mom . she 's telling the truth . you did n't see the red light . the accident was your fault . nikki : well this has been lovely . summer : yeah , you can never go wrong with bling . and this wine is amazing . victor : [ laughs ] victoria : well , it should be . it 's an ' 89 château margaux . victor : yeah . it was perfect for our celebration , you know . victoria : [ giggles ] you still have n't told us what it is that we 're celebrating . victor : life . okay ? the fact that i am here celebrating it with you , spending it with you . nikki : ooh . what brought this on ? victor : you know , when i heard the news of what happened to the winters family , just incredibly tragic how hilary died . nikki : yes . it reminds us all how fragile life can be . victor : yeah . was n't long ago that i was in the hospital fighting for my life . but i had a chance to come back , you know , and spend my life with all of you . i love that . nikki : we are so grateful for that . victor : so am i , my sweetheart . in spite of the fact that my son nicholas tried everything in his power to destroy me and our company . in spite of j.t . 's attack . victoria : i vote we move past that . victor : i and newman enterprises will move forward . nikki : i hope you 're planning on letting us do that with you . victor : well , sweetheart , you already have . unbeknownst to you , unbeknownst to all of you , newman enterprises is beginning to recover from the blow that nicholas has dealt us . and that is mostly due to you , my sweetheart . you were the driving force behind that . victoria : thank you for saying that . victor : you know that i appreciate it enormously , and that i admire you , okay ? victoria : well , i hope you always feel that way , dad . victor : yes . despite the fact that some of my children and grandchildren have turned their back on me , i 'm a lucky man . i 'm lucky to have your unwavering support and your love . that means a hell of a lot to me . much more than you realize . so let us drink to that . you all hold a very special place in my heart . victoria : cheers . summer : cheers . nikki : cheers . devon : lily , tell me you did n't do this . lily : i -- i -- devon : just please tell me that you did n't do it ! neil : devon , try to stay calm . devon : i do n't want to stay calm right now , neil . i would like answers . neil : okay . we all want answers . charlie , tell us what you saw . charlie : um ... we were in the car . and it was mom , me , and hilary . and we were looking for shauna . well , i was . um ... mom and hilary were arguing . and things got heated . and ... um ... neil : and ? and what ? go on , charlie . mom turned her head to look at hilary and ran the red light . and then the truck ... devon : hm . i held hilary in my arms while she died . this is like going through that again . you know that ? lily : devon , i do n't -- i do n't know what to say . i -- i did n't know . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . neil : hey . come on . all right ? come on , family . this is a heavy revelation . it 's very deep . but it does n't change the fact that hilary 's death was an accident . devon : charlie , shauna , why did n't you guys say anything before ? charlie : do n't blame shauna , uncle devon . okay ? she wanted to say something . but i - i begged her to keep quiet . shauna : i just could n't do it anymore . not with hilary gone . and lily acting all sad , like she cared about her . devon : and , charlie , why would you put her through that hell ? charlie : i -- cane : it was because of me . i asked charlie not to say anything . cane : okay . devon : so you 've known from the start ? cane : charlie told me what he saw at the hospital . lily : cane , you should have told me . cane : baby , i can explain . devon : there 's not an excuse for making the kids lie like that . if shauna had never spoken up , you were n't gon na say a word . cane : i knew the truth would come out eventually . devon : and in the meantime , you 're gon na let them go through hell ? how you gon na do that to shauna and your own damn son ? lily : and -- and to me ! i had a right to know ! cane , i lied to the police ! cane : you did n't lie to the police . you told them exactly everything you remembered . lily : but it was n't the truth ! cane : i was just trying to protect you . phyllis : protect her ? jack : phyllis -- phyllis : who was protecting hilary ? right ? who was protecting hilary when lily ran the light ? you two have never given a damn about hilary . and she had the right to know what your wife did to her . you knew she was dying , and you kept the truth from her ! jack : phyllis , let 's go over here . phyllis : how dare you ? ! cane : [ exhales sharply ] i did n't want to hurt anybody . i just did n't want things to be worse than they already were . lily : hilary died . how could things possibly get any worse ? cane : i was afraid your brother would n't forgive you . devon : [ scoffs ] well , you know what ? you were absolutely right about that . victor : dessert , anyone ? nikki : we would like to say something first . victor : uh - oh . summer : oh , no . do n't worry , grandpa . it 's all good . victoria : mom , why do n't you start ? nikki : gladly . my darling , victoria , summer , and i want you to know how grateful and proud we are being a part of your family . victoria : we all know that you can be demanding and overbearing , and sometimes very opinionated and unpredictable . but at the center of all of that , what remains true is the love that you have for us . and that 's way more valuable than any gift that you could ever give us . summer : yes . i totally agree . and we all know how much i love shiny things . victor : you certainly do . summer : [ chuckles ] um , but seriously , grandpa . you do n't always make things easy , but you make them matter . from every chess game to every horseback ride to every lecture , you were always there . 100 % . nikki : i think what we 're all trying to say is that we love you and appreciate you as much as you do us . victor : well . that means a hell of a lot to me , much more than i can tell you . phyllis : you tell devon i 'm on his side . jack : it may not come to that . phyllis : oh , it already has . jack : tell neil if he needs anything at all to call me , all right ? nate : i will . phyllis : do n't forget to give devon my message . nate : thank you . neil : devon . devon , come on , man . lily feels terrible about causing that accident . devon : you know how i feel ? i feel like somebody ripped my heart out of my chest , that 's what i feel like . lily : devon , i never , never meant for this to happen . devon : well , it would n't have happened if you did n't try and drive in the state you were in , right ? cane : none of this would have happened if hilary had n't let shauna and charlie hook up at your place ! devon : is that right ? neil : okay , hey -- cane : that 's right ! neil : take a breath ! right here , right now . before we say something that we 're gon na regret . now , i know that emotions are -- are really raw right now . but we got to find a way to come together as a family . nate : neil is right . times like these , we need family . even if you ca n't even see that right now . devon : the only person i want to hear from right now is lily , so can everybody else get the hell out ? cane : no . neil : i really do n't think that 's a good idea . lily : no , it 's -- it 's fine . devon and i need to talk . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nikki : well , it 's a shame that summer had to leave . victor : i know . i 'm very impressed with her work ethic , you know . nikki : another newman woman with a head for business . victor : mm . nikki : before you know it , little katie 's gon na be sitting behind a desk . victoria : no , do n't give dad any ideas . victor : well , wait a minute . when you were that age , you came to the office with me . victoria : [ sighs ] oh , my god . i got to go . victor : you do ? victoria : yeah . i -- i - i promised the kids i would n't be late , and i 'm gon na pick them up something on the way home . victor : okay . nikki : all right , honey . well , give them a kiss for me . victoria : i will . mwah ! i 'll see you later . dad , this was lovely . thank you . victor : bye , my sweetheart . victoria : okay . victor : see you soon , okay ? see you tomorrow . nikki : talk to you later . victor : all right . nikki : well . [ sighs ] you ready to head out ? victor : you know , why do n't you and i take a stroll through chancellor park ? nikki : would n't you rather take a stroll at the ranch ? victor : well , normally , yes . but , i mean , you love chancellor park . why do n't we go there ? nikki : i do . it 's -- it 's very special . but , victor , you 've gone to all the trouble to rent out the restaurant , and -- victor : sweetheart , i have -- nikki : ... we 're here all alone , we should enjoy that . victor : yeah , but i have the restaurant all afternoon . i mean , why do n't we go across the street to the park , then we can come back ? nikki : i - i really would rather not . victor : why not ? nikki : just a little tired . victor : okay . is that all you are ? just tired ? nikki : yeah . what else would it be ? victor : well , why would n't you want to go to chancellor park with me ? i mean ... are you worried about it or what ? phyllis : i mean , how do you not see the red light ? jack : it sounds like there were mitigating circumstances . phyllis : yeah , like lily is a lying , judgmental bitch . jack : [ sighs ] phyllis : and cane ? covering up the truth for her ? i mean [ stammers ] these two make me sick . i - i - i really want to go back over there right now -- jack : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . that family 's dealing with quite enough . let them work this out themselves . phyllis : how do you work out the fact that hilary 's gone ? jack : i do n't know . i watched traci and billy deal with devastating losses . i had no answers for them , either . phyllis : i thought about screaming and yelling and throwing things . that might help . jack : well , you can always come downstairs to my suite and scream and yell , and throw as many glasses as you like . phyllis : do n't tempt me . i might take you up on that offer . jack : friends do n't let friends grieve alone . phyllis : it just hurts . jack : i know . phyllis : [ sighs ] when devon told me that hilary was ... you know , billy , he ... he really picked the worst time to go awol . thank you for being there . i do n't know how i would have gotten through these past few days without you . jack : at least billy showed up at the funeral . phyllis : that , i thought , was a turning point . and then he left the funeral early to go to the office , and my hopes were smashed . jack : well , there is a long history of abbotts burying themselves in their work to avoid their problems . phyllis : yeah . if that 's where he went . jack : what , you do n't think he went to the office ? phyllis : he 's just -- he 's just being secretive , you know , he 's being evasive . and i just ... i ca n't shake this feeling that he left to go gambling . jack : well , there 's only one way to find out . phyllis : go to jabot . jack : put your fears to rest . phyllis : or not .

'cause you standing here telling me that you wish things were different , i 'm not gon na buy it . lily : well , hilary did . okay ? at the hospital . i told her how sorry i was , and she forgave me . devon : congratulations for that . you want me to do it now ? that 's what you 're hoping for ? `` you killed my wife and my child . i 'm cool with it . `` lily : i would give anything to undo this . devon : well , you ca n't undo it . i 'm sorry . ca n't be undone . my wife 's gone and my child is gone . the two things that i wanted more than anything in the world , and you fought it every step of the way . you locked her in an office so that she would n't get pregnant . the thought of the two of us being tied together by a child , it drove you out of your mind . lily : i know . you 're right . you 're right . i was -- devon : i know i 'm right . lily : i was awful . i was awful . but then hilary got pregnant -- devon : and then you despised her even more ! lily : at first . but then i accepted it , because i just wanted you to be happy . and when i woke up from the accident , and i heard how badly she was hurt , all i wanted was for her and the baby to be okay . devon : oh . if you cared that much , i think you would have been a little more careful . lily : i will regret , for the rest of my life , that i wasn't . devon : you know what i 'm gon na regret ? i 'm gon na regret leaning on you this whole time . when she was in the hospital . before the funeral . telling you how grateful i was that you guys made peace . from the way you were smiling at our wedding , you 'd think you were happy for us . but i know now you were probably just relieved because hilary was gon na be out of your life for good . lily : devon , stop it , okay ? i know that you are grieving , but these are horrible things to say ! devon : this is n't coming from grief , lily . it 's coming from what i see . you wanted hilary out of my life , and because of this accident , you got your wish . billy : i would really love to get together and talk with you . maybe we can meet at the rooftop deck at the club , or the coffeehouse , or the park . wherever you would like . phyllis : anywhere but here ? billy : who wants to sit around a stuffy office ? phyllis : obviously somebody . whose identity you 're trying to keep secret . billy : elevator 's here . phyllis : yeah , i 'll take the next one . why do n't we cut to the chase . you got a poker game going on in there . billy : i 'm wounded by your lack of trust . phyllis : so yes . billy : so no . absolutely not . phyllis : you cleared the place out for some reason . billy : you want to see what 's going on in there ? phyllis : mm . billy : [ sighs ] sorry . just one more minute . happy ? phyllis : obviously you 're not gambling . but something is going on . billy : what 's going on in there is official work . it 's what a ceo does . phyllis : is this about the feasibility study that you 're doing for fenmore 's ? is that why you 're keeping me in the dark here ? billy : it 's much bigger than that , phyllis . phyllis : will you just give me a hint ? billy : what 's happening behind those closed doors is great for jabot . phyllis : how great ? billy : no . i 'm not doing that . you 're gon na have to trust me . nick : thanks for hearing me out . victoria : well , when have i ever been able to say no to you ? nick : i just -- i do n't get it . help me understand it . after everything that dad has put you through , you choose to stick by him . especially when you have other options . victoria : dark horse . nick : yes . the offer still stands . victoria : you seriously think that i am gon na come and work for you after you pretended to be j.t . ? nick : i do n't regret what i did . victoria : oh , the ends justify the means . that sounds very familiar , does n't it ? nick : i had to draw a line somewhere . victoria : well , here we are . on opposite sides of that line . nick : then cross over . victoria : nick , i wish you the best of luck with your company . but i 'm gon na stay over here . i 'm gon na rebuild newman and repair the damage that you 've done . nick : dad will never appreciate you the way i do . victoria : he already has . he 's made me c.o.o . he promised me that newman would be mine one day . nick : that should have been the case all along , vick . victoria : then you 're happy for me ? nick : i 'm worried . dad makes his promises . then he breaks them . when that happens , just know that you will always have a place at dark horse . victor : i 'm so glad you enjoyed the day . nick : when i think of how close we came to losing you ... victor : mm - hmm . nikki : every moment with family is a gift . victor : i feel the same way . nikki : i just wish nicholas could have been here with us . victor : [ sighs ] yeah . well , that 's his choice . nikki : well , he took a stand . he decided to break away from you and start something on his own , from the ground up . i would think you would admire him for that . victor : he 's trying to destroy his father , you know . besides that , i admire winners . and so far he has not proven to be one . nikki : but he is his father 's son , so ... victor : i know what you 're trying to do . but you have to reconcile to the fact that nicholas and i no longer have a father / son relationship . nikki : please do n't say that . i 'm not gon na let that happen . victor : [ sighs ] nikki : i am never going to give up on having my family be whole again . victor : i love you for it . nikki : i love you . charlie : why could n't you just keep quiet ? shauna : i 'm not gon na apologize for telling the truth . charlie : yeah , but do n't you see what happened ? my uncle hates my mom . neil : hey , hey , hey , hey . charlie , it 's not about shauna . if anything , it falls on your father . cane : are you really gon na do this here ? neil : why do n't you man up ? why do n't you own what you did ? what you always do . which is lie . it is your default setting , is n't it ? cane : i was trying to protect my family . that 's what i was trying to -- neil : really ? how 's that working out for you now ? mattie : grandpa 's right . [ sighs ] if charlie and shauna had told the truth from the beginning , uncle devon would n't be so angry with mom right now . cane : sweetheart , there is so much more at stake here than devon being upset with your mom . do you understand that ? mattie : what do you mean ? cane : if your mother is found to be at fault for this accident , she could be in serious trouble with the law . does anybody want that ? do you want that ? lily : devon , if you want to blame me for the accident , then go ahead . but not for one second did i ever want hilary gone . i would never purposely run a red light , especially with my own son in the car . but maybe that 's why you 're saying it . because you 're -- you 're so overloaded with grief that you ca n't even see another outcome . look , i will carry the guilt of what i have done for the rest of my life . but please , devon , please , do not let this tear us apart . devon : lily , you have your own family . you should go be with them . lily : you have a family , too . devon : actually , you know what , thanks to you , i don't . lily : [ sobbing ]Summarize.[/INST]tempers flared when charlie and shauna revealed that lily caused the accident that killed hilary and the baby . phyllis lashed out at cane and lily . cane admitted that he 'd asked the kids to keep quiet . lily was upset that cane kept her in the dark . cane said he was trying to protect his family . devon confronted lily about the way she 'd treated hilary , and he accused her of being glad that hilary died . lily apologized and swore she never meant for it to happen . devon told her he did n't have a family anymore thanks to her . neil accused cane of being a habitual liar . cane told everyone that lily could be in trouble with the law if she was found to be at fault for the accident . jack was there for phyllis after the funeral . phyllis went to make sure billy was n't gambling again , and she found him at work having a business meeting . billy refused to divulge the topic of the meeting to phyllis .</s>

aly tells liam that hope is beautiful and famous .not that it matters to liam , but she does n't think it is right . he hesitates for a long time and finally says he does before walking off . hope is home alone looking at the photos on her laptop . she smiles when she sees the ones of her and wyatt . her back stiffens and she is not smiling when she sees the one of her and liam . she smiles again when she thinks back on first seeing wyatt naked at big bear . quinn asks wyatt if he has something specific planned for him and hope . he says maybe but it has to be special and romantic .even bigger than mexico . he says hope expects great things from him and he plans on delivering . he says if he is going to make a move , he needs to do it now . liam is getting frustrated and now showing his true colors . quinn mocks yes and he 's whining and pouting . wyatt says hope needs to see that she has options . quinn answers yes steffy is out of town so `` i `` can be with you now , wyatt starts calling someone and quinn wants to know what he is thinking . it 's hope and wyatt says he wants to see her . he asks if she has any plans for tonight and when she says no , he says she does now . he 'd like to invite her to dinner at his place , he has something special , a surprise so he wo n't tell her . she agrees to come . quinn asks wyatt how she can help . she heard him say dinner . he tells her he has it covered . she says oh no , sweet boy , he does n't know anything about cooking except bacon . he scoffs , well there is hotdogs and smores , anything around a campfire mostly . she says right .they better start making a list now . he takes the pen out of her hand and says no offense , but he has a plan and her being in the general vicinity was n't exactly a part of it . and he does n't need a list ; he has plenty of bacon in the frij . she laughs at that being part of the plan . he says tomorrow morning it will be . hope will want breakfast so he has to be a good host if she is going to spend the night . she chuckles at mr . romance . she says hope is so much better off with wyatt than liam so he can just shove off and be with steffy . wyatt reminds her that steffy is clean now . it 's only takes 28 days to get liam out of your system . quinn says okay , then liam can go lure another poor young girl to put up with him .anybody but hope . who knew that camping trip of his to big bear could lead to this . it totally changed their lives . it feels so good to be able to give pay raises to the people that work for them . wyatt admits it feels good and he thinks about that trip every day . she says that solar - powered shower was the best investment she ever made . wyatt says he bought it . aly slowly follows liam back into the house and apologizes ( again ) for saying something wrong . he says she did n't . she says again that she did n't really think it through about the picture , but it just seemed like he ought to know . hope may never forgive her . liam tells her not to think that way . she says it is not like she wants to hurt hope , she really does n't . hope is lucky to have liam ; she needs to realize that and not put him through this .

[ cell phone rings ] victoria : it 's chelsea . i guess you better take it . abby : give this guy a job after everything he did ? stitch : i got to say , i little mystified myself . ashley : really ? so does that mean you ' withdrawing your application ? stitch : no way . abby : can you just no here for a second so i can talk to my mom ? ashley : do you mind ? stitch : not at all . abby : um , have you lost your mind ? give a job to this creep ? ashley : he has an amazing résumé . i mean , really amazing . abby : he also has a rap sheet . ashley : you heard what he said about his father . abby : yes , and i also know what his situation is with their father , and she thought he was a saint . who knows what 's true ? abby : mom , if stitch can lie about that , then what else could he lie about ? and i do n't want to be around him , much less trust him with corporate secrets . as a doctor , ben deals with confidential information every day . besides , if i can keep him busy working , maybe he wo n't have time to pursue victoria , and then maybe , who knows , victoria and billy can find their way back to each other . abby : are you really doing this because you 're thinking of billy , or are you still attracted to the guy yourself ? ashley : [ sighs ] victor : i want you to know that i meant no disrespect . and i certainly do n't want you to do anything unethical , anything that you would n't do with another patient . and i certainly do n't want you to hurt her . but if there 's any way to h her recovery , i would appreciate it enormously . dr. cutler : i am doing everything humanly possible to ensure a successful outcome . now , if you 'll excuse me . i have several urgent phone calls to return . victor : t for your help . [ sighs ] my goodness , phyllis . it breaks my heart like this . i 'd like to take her to genoa city . there are a lot of people who love you dearly ... and who would love for me to report that everything 's all right . but i ca n't do that right now . although i know you 're no longer locked in , that the fog is beginning to lift ... let me show you something . maybe this will jar your memory . she 's very important to you . she lives in genoa city . [ door opens ] faith : yay ! mariah 's home ! nick : all right , let 's , uh , let 's take it easy , okay ? faith : you need a sister bracelet like i have , see ? whenever i miss her , i touch it , and i know she 's thinking of me . and she does the same . mariah : well , that 's really nice for you and summer . sharon : faith , maybe we can find another way to help mariah feel at home . faith : okay . but you have to follow the rules this time , 'cause i really , really , really want you to stay . nick : hey , why do n't you run up to mariah 's room and see if she has enough towels and hangers and , you know , stuff like that ? faith : okay ! are you a love child , too ? sharon : faith , what 'd i tell you about saying that to people ? faith : oops . sorry . i forgot . sharon : she 's excited . listen , i do n't blame you for not wanting to be here or for doubting us , me in particular . i also know it must be difficult to accept everything you 've learned about the day you were born . it 's been quite a shock to us , too . but despite all the pain and the questions and the regrets , i truly believe it 's a miracle that you 've come home to us . mariah : do n't touch me . do n't come near me . mariah : have you forgotten all of the horrible things that you said to me when you kicked me out ? the way that you made me feel like a worthless piece of trash ? nick : mariah , come on . sharon did n't make you feel anything . that is the reaction you chose to have after she confronted you about your behavior . sharon : no , i have n't forgotten it . have you ? i came home and i found you parading around in lingerie hoping to seduce nick . mariah : you do n't need to remind me . nick already told me what a pathetic loser i am . nick : now , that is your interpretation . mariah : the point is , i do n't need a lecture from either of you . sharon : i was n't going to lecture you . i was going to tell you that i forgive you . there 's no way you could have known . mariah : i do n't need your forgiveness or your pity or your -- your soaps or your fluffy towels . we may have the same genes , but that is all that we have in common . sharon : do n't you have any questions ? are n't there things you want to know ? mariah : okay . yeah . for starters , i would like to know who my father is . that is , if you even know . sharon : his name is frank barritt . he was my boyfriend in high school , captain of the football team in madison , very handsome . we were madly in love until , um ... mariah : until you got pregnant , and then bye - bye , sharon . where is he now ? sharon : um ... frank is dead . mariah : [ sighs ] gee , how convenient . i guess that 's one loose end that you do n't have to worry about . nick : all right , mariah , come on . you 're not giving sharon much of a chance . mariah : what kind of chance did she give me ? first she did n't want me as a baby , and then just two days ago , she told me to hit the street . well , guess what ? i have been on my own for most of my life , and i did just fine . the only thing i want from sharon is for her to say that we are square on the money i owe her so i can get the hell out of here . sharon : mariah , no , please do n't go . [ door closes ] noah : summer , i 'm gon na get home and check on mom , okay ? summer : yeah , okay . i love you . noah : love you , too . hey , austin . look after her . austin : it 's my job . hey . you know , i could get my shift covered . we can go home and talk . summer : i 'm pretty talked out on the subject of mariah . austin : you should n't be alone right now . summer : it 's okay . just go back to work . i 'll be fine . austin : look , you 're not fine . you 're upset . are you afraid that mariah might still hurt someone in your family ? summer : and there 's something else , too , and it 's really dumb , and i 'm not proud of it , but ... i 'm actually really jealous of her . ashley : the only thing that i 'm interested in is the future of the amazing , new product that i 'm developing . besides , ben is the perfect person to assist me in the lab , abby . abby : hmm , making sure there 's lots of chemistry ? ashley : honey ? abby : yes ? ashley : knock it off . stitch : so , am i still hired , or did abby talk you out of it ? ashley : i make decisions about people . stitch : great . when do we start ? i have to go to new york on business . but once i 'm there , i 'll make it a point to gather all the necessary data and have it sent to you a.s.a.p . good . ashley : i 'm gon na call human resources before i go and make sure they issue you a security badge and a new set of keys . welcome to jabot , ben . stitch : thank you . and i promise you wo n't regret this decision . ashley : i 'll hold you to that . in the meantime , i 'm gon na leave you in abby 's extremely capable hands , and the two of you can start strategizing . bye . abby : it 's not gon na work , you know . stitch : what wo n't work ? abby : this job might keep you in genoa city , but it 's not gon na give you what you really want . billy : from what little bit i 've been ining a lot better . i 'll , uh , i 'll pass that along . so , uh , how 's connor ? great . look , i need to bolt , okay ? all right , chels . take care . victoria : you did n't have to rush off your call . billy : chels had things to do , too , so ... victoria : hey , listen , if there 's something between the two of you -- billy : there 's nothing going on . victoria : okay . okay . well , i am late for a business meeting . billy : great . i 'll , uh , shoot this over to my lawyer . victoria : okay , that sounds .. billy : right . you know , the thing about endings ... they 're what you need for a new beginning . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] victor : i thought you would react when you saw this picture . maybe the memory of her is too painful for you . if that is the case , i 'd like to know why . [ sighs ] that is your daughter , summer . she misses you terribly . do you recognize her ? austin : why are you jealous of mariah ? she has no friends , and she has n't had the easiest life , to say the least . summer : she has nick . i told you it was really stupid . austin : do n't say that . your feelings are n't stupid . summer : it 's just that nick raised me , okay ? i still think of him as my dad . and now he can be even more of a real father to mariah . i envy her . austin : nick has known you since you were a baby . and he 's not gon na love you any less than someone he practically just met . summer : i know that . and i love jack . do n't get me wrong . it just ... it kills me knowing that he 's gon na look at mariah and see cassie 's face , and he 's gon na feel closer to her than he ever will towards me ever again . austin : summer . summer : i know this is gon na sound really petty and dumb , but in my opinion , mariah does not deserve to be a newman . not when she 's still capable of hurting the people that i love . faith : we have a new sister . noah : i know . it 's , uh , it 's pretty cool , huh ? sharon : were you able to track down summer ? noah : yeah . i told her what i know . she 's with austin . sharon : how is she ? noah : [ chuckles ] she 's confused , shaken up . faith : how come ? noah : um , you know what ? i 'm kind of starving right now , so would you mind making me one of your famous pb & js ; ? faith : if you 're trying to get rid of me , why did n't you say so ? noah : 'cause i really do want a sandwich . faith : okay , fine . noah : thank you . she is getting too smart for me . sharon : she is smart , and she is so loving . she wholeheartedly accepted mariah . she wants her to be part of our lives . noah : yeah ? is mariah for that ? sharon : i wish . she had barely been home 10 minutes before she ran off . nick went out to look for her , but who knows if he 'll be able to convince her to come back . mariah : i told you to stay away . nick : you have no money , you have nowhere to go . what are you planning to do ? mariah : i 'll figure it out . being poor and alone , it 's not anything new . nick : look , i owe you an apology . mariah : for what ? nick : there 's a reason you thought i was getting close to you . it 's because i was , but i guess not for the reason you were hoping . see , i thought if i got to know you better , then i would know ian better and that would make me able to protect sharon and my family and my kids from him . mariah : got it . they 're all that mattered , so go back to them . nick : i ca n't do that , not without you . mariah : for the last time , i do n't want to be a part of your damn family . what i wanted i ca n't have , so screw it ! nick : so , what are you gon na do ? you gon na run off to ian ? meet up with him ? oh , wait . you just found out that he 's not so fatherly after all . how about helen , a woman who did n't want anything to do with you ? or you could find another guy like tyler and use him for a while or someone like my dad who hires someone like you so he does n't have to get his hands dirty . how 'd that work out for you ? mariah : go to hell . nick : is that a yes ? can i take you home now ? mariah : if this is the kind of affection you show noah and faith , i feel sorry for them . nick : you know , we 're not in the affection part yet . we 're still in the , uh , `` what the hell happened ? `` phase . i 'm not saying this is gon na be easy . maybe it 's gon na be a disaster . mariah : maybe ? nick : mariah , you can not undo your dna , and you ca n't erase the fact that there 's someone decent out there who cares about you , someone who thinks of you as family , someone who will love you always , no matter what . mariah : sharon does n't deserve you . nick : you do n't even know sharon or my family . you 've only seen them from the point of view as an outsider . mariah : i still am . nick : well , that 's your choice . but the room is still yours . unless you 've gotten a better offer . mariah : fine . i 'll stay in town , but i am not a kid , and i am not ready to go home and play house with you people . noah : mom , faith really does make the best pb & js . ; sharon : i 'm sorry , honey . what ? noah : dad 's gon na find mariah . she could n't have got that far on foot . sharon : do you think when victor hired her to impersonate cassie , that had something to do with the secret that he was trying to pry out of me , that she was mine ? could that be it ? but then why would finding out that i have another child hurt nick ? that does n't make any sense . noah : mom , look , i know this is not what you want to hear . i do n't trust mariah . she hurt you once before . she 's gon na do it again . sharon : but once we show her what real love and support is like ... noah : yeah , sure . maybe she 'll change . maybe she 'll become this amazing person . but that 's gon na take time . it 's one thing for want an instant sister . but you ca n't expect to be an instant mother , not to somebody like mariah , not with her problems . ashley : hey , billy . oh , is that the contract for the new chemist ? billy : [ scoffs ] no . no , it 's a , uh , it 's a gift from victoria to me and on the anniversary of the day that i proposed to her , no less . i think it 's what they call , um , irony . ashley : divorce papers ? i 'm sorry . billy : it 's time to face reality , i guess . ashley : or not . billy : ash , they 're already signed . they 're off to the lawyers , so ... ashley : billy , is that what you want ? billy : hell no . which i basically said to victoria . but guess what ? she did n't bite , so ... ashley : since when did you become a quitter ? billy : ash , come on . it 's over , all right ? i do n't -- ashley : it 's not over till it 's over . so why do n't you just shut up and listen ? abby : this new fragrance represents a real departure for jabot . we 're targeting buyers in a rarefied air . think couture , women who would n't be caught dead in something they had n't seen on a european runway . it 's a tiny market , but it 's highly influential in our upscale demographic . stitch : uh , excuse me , but are n't we getting a little ahead of ourselves ? abby : no . stitch : the research and development always comes first . i mean , we have to create the fragrance for ashley before we can start price , packaging , and selling it . abby : oh , i 'm sorry . you 've been in this position -- in this industry -- for what ? five minutes , and suddenly you 're an expert ? stitch : i 'm a scientist , abby . i deal in facts , not speculation . abby : well , part of this job is selling a product to a certain niche . yeah , predetermined by people much higher in the food chain than you are . people who sign your paychecks , capisce ? stitch : oh ! i see what 's hap -- oh , so you 're pulling rank . abby : mm - hmm . and you 're dishing out attitude . stitch : well , i guess that makes two of us . billy : just save the sisterly advice , all right ? there 's nothing you can do to stop this divorce . w who said anything about advice ? i have a plan . billy : oh . i 'm almost afraid to even ask . ashley : i have to go to go to new york , but i 'm gon na be back home soon . and if stitch continues to be a distraction for victoria , then , um , as your loving sister , i 'll just have to make it my job to ct him . abby : you 've never worked in a corporate environment before , so maybe you 're not familiar with who reports to whom . stitch : [ chuckles ] i was a medic in the united states army for two tours , right ? i kind of have a little bit of a grasp on that stuff . abby : it 's stitch : no , you 're right . uh , you do n't ... austin : you 're out of the hospital ? mariah : so ? austin : so , are you okay ? how you doing ? mariah : would they have released me if i was n't ? austin : okay . what are you doing ? mariah : what does it look like ? i am done working for tips and nick newman 's charity . sharon : you could n't find mariah ? nick : no , i found her at chancellor park . i 'm hoping i was able to talk some sense into her . sharon : where is she now ? nick : i 'm guessing she 's off somewhere thinking . i did get her to promise she would n't leave town . sharon : oh , thank god ! nick : she 's gon na be fine , all right ? she just needs some time to accept the fact that her family is here . sharon : we are her future , nick . maybe now you and the kids and i , we can all have the life that we were meant to share together . nick : yeah . victor : doc , i have been away from my family far too long . i need to get back home . hopefully phyllis will have a major breakthrough . dr. cutler : i 'll let you know if there are any significant changes . victor : when , okay ? dr. cutler : have a safe trip . victor : thank you for your help . thank you for everything you have done . thank you . 14 missed calls ? what the hell is going on ? ray , have the jet ready as soon as i get to the airport . we need to get back to genoa city as soon as possible . apparently there is something important going on , all right ? yep , let 's get the hell out of here . phyllis : s ... summer . [ next_on ] summer : you have no idea how good you 've got it . mariah : what 's the matter , summer ? are you jealous ? victor : i would have been here had you called me ! but no ! you turned to paul williams ! paul : what happened to your hand ?

<s>[INST] summer : hi . i have roast beef on rye in case you did n't get to lunch . austin : oh , you saved my life , you know , 'cause working in a club that serves food , i definitely would have starved . summer : okay , you 're right . i just needed an excuse to see you . austin : you do n't need an excuse . i miss you , too . summer : noah ? you look a little out of it . is something wrong ? noah : dad wanted to be the one to tell you this . he 's got his hands kind of tied right now , so ... summer : tell me what ? noah : you better sit down . sharon : what i have to tell you , it 's going to come as a big surprise . faith : i like surprises . sharon : i know you do , sweetie , but this one , even i 'm having a hard time getting used to . the thing is , faith , you have a sister . faith : right . summer . sharon : i mean besides summer . faith : i do ? sharon : it 's mariah . it turns out she 's your sister , too . nick : hey . mariah : hi . nick : how are you feeling ? mariah : my gosh . i had this crazy dream . nick : oh , yeah ? mariah : yeah , i was in this place , like , full of junk . ian was there , and ... and i was so tired . i was trying to get away . my head felt like it was swimming with molasses . [ chuckles ] and i felt like i could n't speak . i tried to scream , but nothing came out . and you and sharon were there . it was n't a dream , was it ? nick : it 's true . ian , uh , he drugged you . he 's still out there somewhere . but the police are gon na find him . as far as the marriage is concerned , do n't worry about that . you were incapacitated . there 's no way that 's gon na hold up . mariah : and what about the rest ? the part about sharon being my mom ? nick : that 's true , too . we have proof . sharon -- she was here with you all night beside you had to go home and spend some time with faith before you up . but the doctor came in and said as soon as you get dressed and you 're able , then , uh , you know , i can take you home . mariah : home ? to sharon ? forget it . i 'm not going . victor : she opened her eyes and that 's it ? i mean , there 's no more progress ? dr. cutler : as i warned you when we started , you should n't expect too much too soon . phyllis is responding well to various stimuli . there 's measurable brain activity when a familiar name is mentioned . they are all hopeful signs . victor : doc , hope is not what i need . dr. cutler : recovering from a coma of this duration is a lengthy one . victor : doc , you 're not hearing me . i am telling you i need you to do whatever it takes to shock her back into consciousness . dr. cutler : shock her ? [ scoffs ] this is n't a mary shelley novel , mr. newman . victor : i do n't need your sarcasm . i need her to wake up and to speak with me . ashley : so , ben russell is ben rayburn ? abby : i was about to tell you when he walked in . stitch : i am just as surprised as you are , ok i saw the job opening on a scientific website . there was no men jabot cosmetics . abby : it does n't matter . my mom is looking for and she 's not about to hire a man whose entire lie is a fraud . victoria : i wish you would n't put words in my mouth . billy : from what you were saying , it sounded to you were having second thoughts about the divorce . `` if i could still do it all over `` ? `` ? is n't that what you told me ? victoria : even if i was , billy , you 're making too much i it . billy : am i ? these papers still are n't signed , vick . say it . [ shredder whirs ] billy : say the word , and i will shred these and destroy every rotten thing that we ever said or did start fresh . come on , vick . what do you say ? summer : mariah is cassie 's twin ? i ca n't believe this . austin : during your mom 's pregnancy , she did n't realize ... noah : that there were two babies ? no . look , she was really young . she did n't have the best care . and when she went to go give birth , the doctor and the nurse drugged her so she would n't remember anything . summer : how are they not in jail ? noah : i do n't have a lot of information , but dad tracked these people down -- mariah 's adoptive birth mother , the nurse who delivered the babies , and the doctor . summer : [ stammers ] noah : it 's confusing . i know . it 's ... faith : so , mariah grew up and never knew you were her mom ? sharon : is n't that sad ? and she never got to know her sister cassie . faith : so , who was her mommy ? i mean , the mom that adopted her . sharon : mariah was raised by a woman named helen copeland and a few other people . she grew up in sort of a group home . but at least now we know the answer to one question . faith : why mariah looks so much like cassie . sharon : exactly . noah : i never trusted mariah , not even when mom was desperate to have her a part of the family . summer : do you think that some part of sharon knew ? noah : i do n't know . maybe . yeah . but now it looks like we 're gon na have to accept her whether we like it or not . sharon : the plan is for mariah to come and live with us again . not as a guest , but this time , as a real member of the family . faith : even though she broke the rules ? remember ? you said she was out of chances . summer : i mean , i guess i 'm glad for sharon 's sake that she found her long lost child , but it just sucks it has to be someone like her . sharon : one reason mariah broke the rules was because she did n't know any better . she did n't have a family growing up to teach her . she did n't know that i was her mom or that noah was her brother , that you were her sister . faith : and daddy was her daddy . sharon : exactly . but now he will be her daddy , just like he was with cassie . nick : i realize this is a shock for you . mariah : i am never going back to that house . sharon hates me . she threw me out . nick : there 's a reason for that . mariah : [ laughing ] why ? because i 'm such a tramp ? nick : you misunderstood my interest in you . mariah , first off , i love sharon . and even if i did n't , i could have never felt the way you wanted me to . when i look at you , i see my daughter . mariah : your adopted daughter . nick : it does n't matter to me . in my mind , there is no difference . and now that i know you 're cassie 's twin ... mariah : what ? you 're gon na read me bedtime stories ? you 're gon na tie a ribbon in my hair ? it 's too damn late for that ! i 'm never going to fit in to your perfect , little world where people are nice and polite and rich ! so please just let me find my own way and leave me the hell alone ! nick : sharon left these clothes for you . take as long as you need . get changed . i 'll wait outside . when you 're ready , i 'm gon na take you home . nice or not , it 's where you belong . [ door closes ] ashley : we 're representing jabot here . for you to make any kind of accusations is completely inappropriate . abby : it 's only slander if it is n't true . ashley : i 'll handle this . so , your résumé says ben russell . obviously i 've only known you as ben rayburn . abby : yeah , because he stole a dead man 's identity when he got out of prison . for murder . yeah , what better way to start over than by committing another crime ? ashley : is that true ? stitch : abby is putting her own spin on things , but the facts are public knowledge . your brother made sure of that . ashley : i did hear some unconfirmed rumors after my last visit , but i was n't sure what to believe . stitch : billy made it his mission to dig up my past and wreck my life . abby : no , you did that yourself when you killed your father . ashley : you killed your father ? abby : mm - hmm . stitch : he was very abusive . it could n't be helped . and it 's a terrible thing that i have to live with every day of my life . and that 's all i 'm gon na say about it . ashley : so , after billy uncovered that information , what happened ? and how did he wreck things for you ? stitch : in addition to losing victoria , i also lost my job at memorial . ashley : so are you telling me that the entire time you were practicing medicine , including when i sprained my ankle and you treated me in the e.r . , you were just pretending to be a doctor ? stitch : no , my medical degree was authentic . and so was my desire to make something of my life after i paid my debts to society . but to do that , i had to continue to use the same identity i used in the army , medical school , and everywhere else . i could n't suddenly go back to being ben russell when the world knew me as ben rayburn . so ... i finessed my license . abby : just like you finessed your way into victoria 's heart . are you a fake chemist , too ? stitch : i worked in a lab to put myself through medical school . by the time i got my degree , i was running the place . now , if that 's not good enough , if what you want is a safe choice instead of someone with talent and drive , then do n't hire me . abby : great . great ! you just made our job a lot easier . tell him , mom . give him your answer . ashley : you 're hired . stitch : [ clears throat ] victoria : i 'm not having second thoughts . it 's like i said , i 'm just upset that you got served papers billy : well , i 'm upset about a lot more than that . victoria : okay , let 's just not prolong the inevitable , all right ? let 's just sign these papers and get it done , billy . come on . billy : okay . if that 's what you want . but i want you to something , that no matter how this ends , i 'm grateful for all the memories that we 've shared . and not just the day that i proposed to you and you said ... what 'd you say again ? victoria : [ scoffs ] that would be a yes . billy : yeah . right . i did say yes . it 's all coming back to me now . our first wedding . victoria : you mean the invalid one ? billy : technically , but it felt real , did n't it ? looking into each other 's eyes , exchanging our vows . victoria : and rum shots . billy : yeah . we ..

i still think of him as my dad . and now he can be even more of a real father to mariah . i envy her . austin : nick has known you since you were a baby . and he 's not gon na love you any less than someone he practically just met . summer : i know that . and i love jack . do n't get me wrong . it just ... it kills me knowing that he 's gon na look at mariah and see cassie 's face , and he 's gon na feel closer to her than he ever will towards me ever again . austin : summer . summer : i know this is gon na sound really petty and dumb , but in my opinion , mariah does not deserve to be a newman . not when she 's still capable of hurting the people that i love . faith : we have a new sister . noah : i know . it 's , uh , it 's pretty cool , huh ? sharon : were you able to track down summer ? noah : yeah . i told her what i know . she 's with austin . sharon : how is she ? noah : [ chuckles ] she 's confused , shaken up . faith : how come ? noah : um , you know what ? i 'm kind of starving right now , so would you mind making me one of your famous pb & js ; ? faith : if you 're trying to get rid of me , why did n't you say so ? noah : 'cause i really do want a sandwich . faith : okay , fine . noah : thank you . she is getting too smart for me . sharon : she is smart , and she is so loving . she wholeheartedly accepted mariah . she wants her to be part of our lives . noah : yeah ? is mariah for that ? sharon : i wish . she had barely been home 10 minutes before she ran off . nick went out to look for her , but who knows if he 'll be able to convince her to come back . mariah : i told you to stay away . nick : you have no money , you have nowhere to go . what are you planning to do ? mariah : i 'll figure it out . being poor and alone , it 's not anything new . nick : look , i owe you an apology . mariah : for what ? nick : there 's a reason you thought i was getting close to you . it 's because i was , but i guess not for the reason you were hoping . see , i thought if i got to know you better , then i would know ian better and that would make me able to protect sharon and my family and my kids from him . mariah : got it . they 're all that mattered , so go back to them . nick : i ca n't do that , not without you . mariah : for the last time , i do n't want to be a part of your damn family . what i wanted i ca n't have , so screw it ! nick : so , what are you gon na do ? you gon na run off to ian ? meet up with him ? oh , wait . you just found out that he 's not so fatherly after all . how about helen , a woman who did n't want anything to do with you ? or you could find another guy like tyler and use him for a while or someone like my dad who hires someone like you so he does n't have to get his hands dirty . how 'd that work out for you ? mariah : go to hell . nick : is that a yes ? can i take you home now ? mariah : if this is the kind of affection you show noah and faith , i feel sorry for them . nick : you know , we 're not in the affection part yet . we 're still in the , uh , `` what the hell happened ? `` phase . i 'm not saying this is gon na be easy . maybe it 's gon na be a disaster . mariah : maybe ? nick : mariah , you can not undo your dna , and you ca n't erase the fact that there 's someone decent out there who cares about you , someone who thinks of you as family , someone who will love you always , no matter what . mariah : sharon does n't deserve you . nick : you do n't even know sharon or my family . you 've only seen them from the point of view as an outsider . mariah : i still am . nick : well , that 's your choice . but the room is still yours . unless you 've gotten a better offer . mariah : fine . i 'll stay in town , but i am not a kid , and i am not ready to go home and play house with you people . noah : mom , faith really does make the best pb & js . ; sharon : i 'm sorry , honey . what ? noah : dad 's gon na find mariah . she could n't have got that far on foot . sharon : do you think when victor hired her to impersonate cassie , that had something to do with the secret that he was trying to pry out of me , that she was mine ? could that be it ? but then why would finding out that i have another child hurt nick ? that does n't make any sense . noah : mom , look , i know this is not what you want to hear . i do n't trust mariah . she hurt you once before . she 's gon na do it again . sharon : but once we show her what real love and support is like ... noah : yeah , sure . maybe she 'll change . maybe she 'll become this amazing person . but that 's gon na take time . it 's one thing for want an instant sister . but you ca n't expect to be an instant mother , not to somebody like mariah , not with her problems . ashley : hey , billy . oh , is that the contract for the new chemist ? billy : [ scoffs ] no . no , it 's a , uh , it 's a gift from victoria to me and on the anniversary of the day that i proposed to her , no less . i think it 's what they call , um , irony . ashley : divorce papers ? i 'm sorry . billy : it 's time to face reality , i guess . ashley : or not . billy : ash , they 're already signed . they 're off to the lawyers , so ... ashley : billy , is that what you want ? billy : hell no . which i basically said to victoria . but guess what ? she did n't bite , so ... ashley : since when did you become a quitter ? billy : ash , come on . it 's over , all right ? i do n't -- ashley : it 's not over till it 's over . so why do n't you just shut up and listen ? abby : this new fragrance represents a real departure for jabot . we 're targeting buyers in a rarefied air . think couture , women who would n't be caught dead in something they had n't seen on a european runway . it 's a tiny market , but it 's highly influential in our upscale demographic . stitch : uh , excuse me , but are n't we getting a little ahead of ourselves ? abby : no . stitch : the research and development always comes first . i mean , we have to create the fragrance for ashley before we can start price , packaging , and selling it . abby : oh , i 'm sorry . you 've been in this position -- in this industry -- for what ? five minutes , and suddenly you 're an expert ? stitch : i 'm a scientist , abby . i deal in facts , not speculation . abby : well , part of this job is selling a product to a certain niche . yeah , predetermined by people much higher in the food chain than you are . people who sign your paychecks , capisce ? stitch : oh ! i see what 's hap -- oh , so you 're pulling rank . abby : mm - hmm . and you 're dishing out attitude . stitch : well , i guess that makes two of us . billy : just save the sisterly advice , all right ? there 's nothing you can do to stop this divorce . w who said anything about advice ? i have a plan . billy : oh . i 'm almost afraid to even ask . ashley : i have to go to go to new york , but i 'm gon na be back home soon . and if stitch continues to be a distraction for victoria , then , um , as your loving sister , i 'll just have to make it my job to ct him . abby : you 've never worked in a corporate environment before , so maybe you 're not familiar with who reports to whom . stitch : [ chuckles ] i was a medic in the united states army for two tours , right ? i kind of have a little bit of a grasp on that stuff . abby : it 's stitch : no , you 're right . uh , you do n't ... austin : you 're out of the hospital ? mariah : so ? austin : so , are you okay ? how you doing ? mariah : would they have released me if i was n't ? austin : okay . what are you doing ? mariah : what does it look like ? i am done working for tips and nick newman 's charity . sharon : you could n't find mariah ? nick : no , i found her at chancellor park . i 'm hoping i was able to talk some sense into her . sharon : where is she now ? nick : i 'm guessing she 's off somewhere thinking . i did get her to promise she would n't leave town . sharon : oh , thank god ! nick : she 's gon na be fine , all right ? she just needs some time to accept the fact that her family is here . sharon : we are her future , nick . maybe now you and the kids and i , we can all have the life that we were meant to share together . nick : yeah . victor : doc , i have been away from my family far too long . i need to get back home . hopefully phyllis will have a major breakthrough . dr. cutler : i 'll let you know if there are any significant changes . victor : when , okay ?

[ sniffs ] but do n't worry . the big objective is still feasible . i 'm gon na take over port charles . and i 'm gon na obliterate that son of a bitch sonny corinthos . sonny : so now the baby 's morgan 's ? ava : it 's hard to tell . morgan and i were usually very careful , but , you know , he could n't keep his hands off me . sonny : from what i saw , it was the other way around . he 's barely out of his teens , and you were chasing after him every chance you got . usually a woman your age , that 's pathetic , but i knew you had an angle . ava : is that why you insisted on keeping us apart ? sonny : it 's one of the reasons . ava : huh . well , it sure came back to bite you , did n't it ? because morgan and i had to start sneaking around to see one another , finding stolen moments , acting on impulse . and you do know how impulsive morgan can be . olivia : honey , whoa , whoa , honey , what are you doing ? morgan : just doing what they did . they -- they -- they said it `` just happened , `` so maybe it can `` just happen `` with us . olivia : just because -- just because -- morgan : we can play by their rules . we can -- we can do the do , and then when it 's all done , we can go , `` gee , we 're sorry . like , it just happened . it was just an accident . it was just a mistake . `` and then we can go on being together and then , you know , just pretend like it never happened . then they 'll know how we feel , olivia . come on . what do you say ? why not ? olivia : is that a genuine question ? morgan : yeah , we 're friends , we like each other . hell , we -- we might even have a little bit of fun . take me home with you . do n't you want to pay them back ? sonny : if you 're pregnant , then nothing 's been proven yet . there are many possible fathers . the bellboy at the metro court . the artist at the gallery . how many guys you pick up at the bar ? and how many bars do you go to ? ava : no ! sonny : morgan had to understand what you are ! he had to see you in action ! but i knew from the start who you were ! a whore ! ava : i was faithful to morgan until i made a mistake with you . there was n't anybody else . you and morgan are the only men that i 've been with since i 've been to port charles . sonny : you really expect me to buy that ? we all know that you 're available to anyone at any time . just come to you . ava : this baby is either morgan 's or yours . it 's either your child or your grandchild . so do you still want to kill me , or should i say `` us `` ? olivia : revenge sex is not in the cards for us . at least -- at least not between you and me . morgan : why ? why not ? olivia : well , first of all , because you 're my son 's half - brother . and god forbid , if the positions were reversed and something went down between carly and dante , first i would kick her ass and then i would kill her , because she would be taking advantage of my boy , and i would never take advantage of hers . morgan : you would n't be taking advantage of me , olivia . olivia : yeah , honey , i would . and at the very least , i can see that you are in a terrible place . you 're very vulnerable . and you know what ? i 'm not like ava . i 'm not gon na mess up everybody 's lives and make it worse just so i can have some fun robbing the cradle . morgan : well , i do n't feel that young anymore , olivia . olivia : i know . baby , i know exactly how i feel . but i 'm telling you , sinking to their level , it 's not the answer . morgan : how do you know that ? olivia : well , because two wrongs do n't make a right , honey . never . revenge -- it 's always a mistake . ava : you always say that your family means everything to you . you love your children . you love them more than anything else in the world . well , now 's your chance to prove it . shall i close my eyes and make my peace , sonny ? are the baby and i gon na die ? sonny : listen , you bitch . i do n't know if you 're telling me the truth or if you 're making all this up . here 's what 's gon na happen . i 'm gon na take you to port charles . we 're gon na go to the doctor of my choice . if you 're lying , you are dead ! ava : and if i 'm telling you the truth ? sonny : you 're still dead ... nine months from now . fluke : so , sonny corinthos has no idea that his old pal lucas lorenzo spencer is gunning for him . he thinks that i 'm just -- you 're just -- he thinks that we are just some harmless ex - mobster with no connections to the business anymore . he 's wrong . oh . oh , you 're gon na love this ! this is brilliant ! i set this guy up to take the fall for all the trouble i 've been causing in port charles . [ chuckles ] i made this iron - clad paper trail right to his door , and then to seal the deal , i stashed a hot weapon in his hotel room . i mean , there is no way that this guy 's gon na get out of the charges against him . do you love it ? ! oh , god . you 're dreary . ric : so , you got everything cleared up , right ? it -- it was a mistake , a misunderstanding . you realize that jerome was -- was lying about me . he played you . it 's okay . just release me and everything will be fine . anna : i do n't think so , mr. lansing . ric : why not ? anna : a little matter of ballistics . we tested the bullet we extracted from lucas jones . and it 's a match for the gun found in your hotel room , as was the bullet that killed the hitman . ric : but it 's not my gun , all right ? ! somebody planted it ! i never even touched it ! anna : you might want to change your argument . ric : what do you mean ? anna : well , we dusted the gun for fingerprints . yours were all over it . fluke : last night at the hotel bar , i slipped something into the fall guy 's drink that would put him way deep into dream land . and it worked . he was out like a light when i moved into his room and left the gun there with his prints all over it . yeah . there 's no way he 's gon na get out of this . like you , he 's gon na be locked up while i am free to mingle with all your friends and family . alexis : i think you need to call diane . elizabeth : why ? you 're not gon na help him ? he 's molly 's father ! alexis : oh , i 'm well aware of that , and it 's gon na be hard on her and obviously hard on you . elizabeth : he did n't do anything , alexis ! alexis : elizabeth , the police have evidence against ric . elizabeth : no . alexis : julian just finished explaining to me all the -- elizabeth : wait , juli -- julian 's here right now ? he 's -- you bastard . why are you doing this ? why are you setting up ric ? julian : elizabeth , i am so sorry -- elizabeth : you 're the one who planted that gun in his room . julian : what gun ? elizabeth : the one used to shoot lucas . julian : whoa , whoa . elizabeth , i do n't know anything about a gun . honestly , i was at the hospital . i came here . i do n't anything about a gun at ric 's place . elizabeth : you told the police that you work for ric , which was a lie , and then you planted that gun . and now ric is being accused of all sorts of criminal things that he did n't commit ! and you 're just -- you 're just here hanging out with alexis ? alexis : elizabeth . elizabeth : please do n't tell me that you 're gon na believe him over ric . julian : [ sighs ] elizabeth : alexis . alexis : yes , i do . elizabeth : i should have never come here . julian : i am so sorry . [ door closes ] alexis : so am i . julian : i am sorry for everything that 's happened . i ... i have just made so many mistakes , and everything is spiraling out of control . alexis , just tell me , please , that no matter what happens , that we 're gon na get through this , no matter what we 're gon na be okay . i need to know . fluke : i 'm gon na go lie low for a while now . and then i 'm gon na come back to port charles , and i 'm gon na finish what i started . so , farewell for now , lucas lorenzo spencer . you 've made my life so easy . luke : wait . fluke : what ? luke : who ... are you ? olivia : i realize that , um , sometimes life just knocks you on your ass . morgan : [ scoffs ] olivia : and you 're afraid that you 're never gon na get up . and you 're afraid that the pain is -- is never gon na go away . but it does . morgan : you 're pretty smart . olivia : no . i 'm not smart . i 've just lived through a lot more disasters than you . [ sniffles ] morgan : i 'm -- olivia , i 'm sorry about the -- the kiss . olivia : i 've had worse . it 's okay . [ somber music playing ] olivia : i 'm gon na drive you home . and do n't even ... morgan : [ groans ] i 'm okay . olivia : do n't even try to say that you 're sober enough to drive . morgan : no . mnh - mnh . do n't worry . i wo n't . olivia : [ chuckles ] sonny : come on ! the plane 's waiting ! [ next_on ] silas : ( to sam ) it 's time to let go of nina . james / nathan : ( to britt ) my sister 's still alive . felix : ( to brad , with lucas ) we are very much dating . nikolas : ( to elizabeth ) it 's time for you to see the truth about ric . alexis : ( to molly ) your father is not julian 's lawyer . he 's his boss . julian : ( to bobbie ) lucas is in more danger from your family than he is from mine .

<s>[INST] morgan : bartender , can i have another shot ? make sure it 's a good one this time . bartender : sorry , dude . you 've had enough . morgan : i 'm sorry . who -- who the hell are you to tell me that i 've had enough , huh ? i 've had enough of you . how 's that sound ? bartender : get him out of here . morgan : [ chuckles ] get me out of here ? olivia : hey , hey , hey ! guys , guys , take it easy . take it easy , okay ? i got this . i got this . bartender : you sure ? olivia : yeah . bartender : he 's pretty hammered . olivia : yeah , it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay ! it 's okay . leave him to me . i 'll take care of him . ava : i 'm pregnant . sonny : what 'd you say ? ava : it 's true , sonny . i 'm gon na have a baby . julian : i 'm out . and my boss wo n't be causing any more trouble for me or my family ever again . alexis : [ sighs ] i am so glad . who was it ? julian : [ sighs ] alexis : now that you got him being sent away , you can tell me who it was . who was it ? julian : all right . but you 're not gon na like it . ric : look , did sonny put you up to this ? he -- he wo n't let go of his vendetta against me ! look , despite what my brother thinks , julian jerome does not work for me ! anna : then why did he just name you as his boss ? ric : julian jerome named me as his boss ? anna : he most certainly did . ric : well , he 's lying , all right ? ! whoever julian reports to , it is n't me ! luke : well , hello , old friend . long time , no see . whoa . hard to believe that the drugged - out , wasted , broken weakling i see before me is lucas lorenzo spencer ... and i 'm not . fluke : you must be curious . you must be wondering , why are we here ? how did all this happen ? well , i 'll tell you , it took a lot of planning and study . i 've been watching you for months . years , really . familiarizing myself with the sordid details of your life , all the details that i would need in order to take over as you in port charles . or as you like to call it , port chuckles . [ chuckles ] i love that . then it was the waiting . waiting for just the right moment . that was the hard part . that was very frustrating , waiting . but eventually you did what you always do . you played hero and investigated the mysterious noises at the quartermaines ' boathouse , where you found carly . oh , you lovingly call her caroline . you found caroline had been kidnapped . before you could do anything , you got clocked by heather webber 's goon squad , and you ended up here . here with your nemesis , scott baldwin . that must have been fun . [ chuckles ] that 's when i made the switch , you see . when you were here with baldwin . and then when luke spencer was freed , it was actually me . i got freed . freed to be the amazing luke spencer . and you ? you got freed to do nothing but rot . ric : all right , so julian jerome names me as his boss , and you just take his word for it , right ? who the hell is gon na issue you a warrant based on some lowlife mobster 's accusations ? anna : well , he gave us documentation as proof . ric : documentation ? ! proof ? ! what the hell are you talking about ? what did he give you ? anna : money trail of the jerome operations that led straight to you . ric : [ scoffs ] it 's a fabrication , okay ? any evidence that julian jerome gave you is a total crock ! anna : well , it was vetted , mr. lansing , and it checks out . ric : that 's impossible . commissioner . ric : what the hell is that ? anna : appears to be a gun , mr. lansing . alexis : ric lansing ? you 're telling me that ric is the mob kingpin who is your boss ? julian : told you you were n't gon na like it . alexis : no , i do n't like it . i do n't like it at all . and -- and i do n't believe it , because i asked him point blank , and he denied it . julian : well , of course he did . what else is he gon na say ? alexis : he swore on molly 's life , and he is clearly not a perfect man , but he loves his daughter , so he would never say that if he were lying . never . look at me . what 's going on here ? are you telling me the truth ? luke : your family is not safe even if you send me to prison . my reach is long . julian : damn it . alexis ... i would do anything to protect my children . i hope you know that . seeing lucas in that hospital bed ... he 's my son . i did that to him . i 'm not gon na let that happen again to anyone . so now it is my turn to swear . and unlike ric , i mean it . i swear on my children 's lives , on sam 's life and on lucas ' . alexis : oh , my god . oh , my god ! ric is responsible for what happened in ava 's gallery ? ric ? ava : are you sure you want to shoot an innocent child ? sonny : you 're not pregnant . you 're trying to save yourself some time . ava : well , of course i 'm trying to save myself . but that does n't mean it is n't true . sonny : you would n't know the truth if it bit you in the ass . you 're a liar . that 's your m.o . you lied about olivia , you let shawn take the blame when you 're the one who shot her , you lied about connie , and then you killed her . you tricked me into shooting a.j . for a crime that you committed . i am not buying this crap . ava : well , it is n't crap , and i can prove it to you . olivia : i know that you 're miserable . you just went through the nastiest breakup with ava , and you know i do n't think too much of her . but i know that you did , and i 'm sorry . morgan : trust me , olivia . you do n't know . sorry . you do n't know the half of it , and i do n't want -- i do n't want you to , honestly . i do n't want that for you . i do n't want you to feel the way that i feel right now . olivia : well , thank you for that , honey , but , uh ... unfortunately , i do feel exactly the way you do right now . i know what happened . everything . i know that ava cheated on you with sonny . sonny : you can prove you 're pregnant ? ava : yeah . i just need to reach into the trash . sonny : do n't move . nice try . you got a gun hidden in there ? ava : yeah . i hid a gun in the waste paper basket . come on , sonny . let me prove it to you . if there 's even a chance that i 'm telling you the truth , would n't you want to know before killing a pregnant woman ? sonny : go ahead . but if there 's a gun in there , you 're dead . ava : gotcha . [ paper rustling ] ava : ah . here we are . that plus sign means i 'm pregnant , sonny . is that proof enough for you ? sonny : how do i know the test is not fake , you just doctored it to save yourself ? ava : why would i plant a fake pregnancy test in the waste paper basket , sonny ? i did n't know you were on your way here . and i had no clue that you knew about connie . sonny : it just happened to be here ? ava : no . i took a test and what ? i 'm gon na carry it around ? i threw it out . and being down here with so little to do , i had time to clear my head and look after myself . i realized that something was off . i was feeling queasy and sluggish . it occurred to me that i could be pregnant . so i bought a test . and ... lo and behold ... i 'm having a baby , sonny . i 'm having your baby . ric : i have never seen that gun before in my life . anna : and yet here it is in your hotel room . ric : okay , let 's -- just -- just so we 're clear . i do not own a gun . and -- and i did n't hide it in my sock drawer , okay ? somebody must have planted it ! anna : mm - hmm . well , it 's a 9 mm , semi - automatic with a silencer , which matches the gun that was used to shoot julian jerome 's son . alexis : you 're telling me that -- that ric -- he hired that hitman and that he 's responsible for lucas getting shot ? anna : which is the same description as the gun that was used to shoot the man that was found dead in the park , who was later identified as the gunman that shot lucas jones at the jerome gallery , so that looks to me like it 's someone trying to cover their tracks . is that someone you , mr. lansing ? alexis : i knew he was capable of some heinous things , but i ca n't fathom that he could be such a cold - blooded killer . fluke : i have to tell you . my reunion with your lover , tracy quartermaine , ooh . it was beautiful . she was something . warm as a kitten ... so docile , so giving . and after my ordeal in here , she was so full of love . i proposed to her . yeah . i did . and she said yes . [ laughs ] can you imagine that ? [ chuckles ] she said yes . so , she trusts me . unlike that reptilian son of hers , ned , who , because of your gigolo history with his mother , thinks i 'm only after her for her money . well , i proposed , she said yes , and now i 'm married . luke spencer is married . she gave me that ring . yep . she did . oh , the marriage -- you should have seen it , man . it was something . all your friends were there . your daughter stood up for me . very touching , indeed . of course , i have no interest in tracy as a woman . i am only after her money and elq , of course . but i have to do my husbandly duties . so i take care of her in the sack . yes , i do . luke : you keep your ... filthy hands off tracy ! fluke : ooh . [ laughs ] [ laughing ] oh , man ! whoa ! slow down , boy . do n't bust an artery . luke : you keep your filthy hands off tracy ! she 's a good woman ! you -- you hurt her , and i 'll -- i 'll hunt you down and make you beg for death ! fluke : you will what ? ! [ laughs ] come on . you 're not gon na do anything . you 're on a mind - numbing cocktail of very high - class drugs . your brain is as soft as an overcooked plate of broccoli . you 're helpless . you 're as helpless as tracy is . and did i tell you how crazy she is about me ? she says i 'm better in the sack than i 've ever been . the bitch ca n't get enough . luke : [ spits ] fluke : ew . you should n't have done that . that 's disgusting . [ laughs ] i guess it 's time for us to say goodbye . alexis : how do you and my ex - husband find each other and run an organized crime syndicate together ? julian : alexis , when i first came to town , i had no idea who you were , much less who you were to ric . i honestly did n't put the pieces together until ric first came to town . and as to how it got started , well , ric approached me when i was still in the witness protection program , told me he had a plan to take sonny down . personally , i did n't give a damn about corinthos , but he controlled the territory that once belonged to my father , and i wanted to take it back . so i was determined to destroy sonny 's family and put the jeromes back in their rightful place . alexis : and ric had the same goal ? julian : well , he 'd already started the process by taking over barrett enterprises . alexis : barrett -- brenda 's -- brenda 's family company ? julian : yeah . he offered to fund my op -- our operation ... so i said yeah . alexis : why ? julian : ric wanted to bleed sonny dry . and that was fine with me , but honestly , alexis , that was n't the most important thing to me . i wanted my life back . i wanted to be someone again instead of the nobody that i 'd become in the witness protection program . alexis , i - i did n't have anyone . i had no ... life ... no kids , no friends . i just could n't take it anymore , the lonely , soul - crushing existence that my life had become . so when ric offered me a lifeline ... i grabbed it . can you understand that ? alexis : i 'm trying . julian : sweetheart , i never imagined -- i never imagined that i would find you or that i would discover that i had two grown children and a grandchild . i just -- i never planned on any of you , and i am so sorry that i did n't tell you . i was sworn to secrecy . alexis : i can see that . julian : [ voice breaking ] i had no idea how high the price would be that i 'd almost lose my son . alexis : okay . so now that you told anna , it 's over , right ? julian : i spilled my guts to anna . i gave her the solid , hard proof . the police are on their way to arrest ric lansing right now . alexis : what ? no . n - no ! they -- no ! what am i gon na tell molly ? ! i - i - i ca n't tell her ! how am i gon na tell her about the kind of man that her father really is ? anna : get this to forensics , okay ? thanks . ric : elizabeth , you -- i - i am not the person that the commissioner says i am , okay ? i - i swear . no , no , no . i swear . i 'm being set up . i 'm being framed , okay ? i 'm not a mobster . i do n't work for julian jerome . i never even met the guy before i came to town . and while i was away , i worked very hard to distance myself from that life , from the zaccharas , from sonny , from all of it . i meant what i said before , okay ? i am completely legit . i do n't know where the gun came from , but it is n't mine . please , elizabeth , you got to believe me . elizabeth : i ... anna : all right , you need to get dressed now , mr. lansing . please , i need to take you down to the station . ric : okay , look , look , i 'm -- i 'm gon na go to the station , all right ? i 'm gon na -- i swear this is all gon na -- anna : mr. lansing . ric : i swear this -- it 's not like before , elizabeth ! you were n't wrong to give me a second chance ! ava : neither one of us gave any thought to protection . we were too desperate , too unhappy , and ... we just did it . anything to ease the pain . it was an ugly moment , but we made something beautiful . sonny : you 're just making it up . [ pregnancy test clatters ] sonny : there 's no way you 're pregnant with my child . ava : you could be right . could be morgan 's . morgan : i 'm sorry , olivia . this is on -- this is all my fault . olivia : honey , do n't say that . morgan : no , no , no , no , no . olivia : that 's not true . morgan : no , it is . it is . and -- and this is how it happened . i convinced her to -- to flip on her brother and start feeding information from the jerome organization to dad . olivia : so ... morgan : so , what do you mean , `` so `` ? do n't -- do n't you see ? she was a spy , and that turned dad on because she was giving him leverage against , you know , his big rival , whatever , and -- and that got him hot . olivia : no , honey , honey , that is not your father at all . whatever sonny 's decisions were about it , it had nothing to do with anything that you did or did not do . morgan : okay , well , then i do n't know what the hell happened . olivia : neither do i. sonny just kept saying that , uh , it was just one of those things . it just happened , it did n't mean anything . morgan : i know . he told me the same thing , and so did ava . that 's all that keeps playing through my head is it did n't mean anything , it did n't mean anything . olivia : it sure meant something to us , did n't it ? morgan : yeah . right ? it 's easy for them to say that it did n't mean anything , but it 's not so easy for us . olivia : yeah . morgan : you know , there 's a way that we can make it all go away , though . olivia : how ? alexis : ric just came back into her life . all that stuff with tj , everything that happened , he took her side , and molly -- molly thinks he 's her champion . she loves him more than she ever did , so what am i gon na tell her now ? that he threatened me , threatened sam , he shot lucas ? it 's gon na destroy her ! [ sighs ] julian : i thought i could do this . alexis : do what ? julian : [ sighs ] alexis , listen to me . ric is n't -- [ knock on door ] julian : alexis , just hold on one second . alexis : no , that might have something to do with ric . julian : but i -- [ sighs ] [ door opens ] elizabeth : alexis , thank god you 're here . i 'm sorry . i know it 's late and i should have called first , but i just came from the metro court with ric . the police showed up , and they took him away . they said that he 's involved in the mob , that he 's the boss . alexis , you need to help him . ric swears he 's being set up . someone 's framing him . luke : [ gruffly ] you ca n't kill me . you might need something from me ! fluke : you know , you 're right . i might . i might need to torture a memory out of you . i might need some dna . hell , i might need a kidney . god knows your liver 's useless . when i said it 's time to say goodbye , i meant i have to leave port charles for a little while . i know you 'll miss me . it 's because of your loud - mouth daughter , by the way . oh , that reminds me . i , uh , i did n't tell you , mainly 'cause i really could give a crap . but you might be interested . you have a grandson . his name 's rocco .

eli : uh , she worked at a fast - food restaurant , uh , back in the day -- the crab bucket . julie : not exactly fine dining . what has she done lately ? what was her last job ? eli : no , she worked as a maid for the kiriakis family . julie : oh , well , darling , problem solved . i 'll call maggie , and they 'll rehire her . eli : no , no , that -- that was n't exactly the best fit . julie : i see . well , she must have done something in the meantime . i mean , what happened between the crab bucket and dusting maggie 's tchotchkes ? eli : she was in prison . julie : oh , eli . not another jailbird . jj : look , i - i - i really did come over here to see how you were . gabi : and , uh , search for something ? evidence , maybe ? which means you think i am guilty of something . jj : abigail is convinced she has n't split , and given your anger at her , she 's -- she 's mentioned that -- that you might be -- gabi : that what , jj ? that i 'm buying wigs and drugging my best friend , making her look crazy ? come on , do you know how that sounds ? jj : i know . gabi : you really think i would go that far , that i 'm that vindictive ? jj : look , i - i do n't want to , but abigail is my sister , and she 's struggling . look , i do n't know what the truth is , but i 'm gon na do whatever i can to help her get to it . gabi : you know , i could understand abigail thinking that i set her up , given our history and her paranoia . but you , jj ? you really think i 'm capable of doing something so ridiculous ? kate : i admit we have n't always been very close . abigail : that 's an understatement . kate : but i thought we got past it . jennifer : abigail , just -- we just need to calm down right now . abigail : what ? i need to calm down ? chad : please , abby . abigail : i will do that as soon as kate stops lying to me . kate : i know how hard you have fought to get your health back . and i know this has to be a terrible blow . i do . but we 're all here to help you . abigail : do not pretend like you are concerned about me , because this is exactly what you want . kate : that is so preposterous that i -- abigail : i do n't know . it makes sense to me , because , you know , when i came back to salem , you had your heart set on chad and gabi being together . but chad chose me . kate : [ sighs ] because you make him happy . because he loves you . and that 's what i care about . i care about his happiness . and any ill will i had towards you , i got rid of a long time ago , abigail . abigail : until i killed andre . so is this your revenge ? kate : clearly , you are under a lot of stress . but you 're here now , and that 's wonderful , because you are going to get the help you need . abigail : do not patronize me . do n't do it . just tell me how she did it . how did she convince you to lie about me ? gabby : this is our baby , stefan , not abigail 's . our love created it . so i 'm gon na need you to get up off your ass and fight for us and for our child . sitting around here reading boring baby books and drinking yourself into accepting the fact that you are having abigail 's child and not mine is n't exactly my idea of fighting . stefan : look , i - i ... confronted abigail . and she 's -- she 's freaked out that you 're back . i - i ... i mean , i even -- i even went with her to her psychiatrist 's appointment . gabby : and what happened ? stefan : nothing . gabby : well , `` nothing `` is n't acceptable , not when i 'm the one that 's doing all the heavy lifting . i even had to whack gabi with an i in the head just to get over here and see you . stefan : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm -- gabby ? gabby : you 're the only person who 's ever understood me , sam . your love gives me life , defines me . and we have created a new life . but i ca n't do it alone . i ca n't be want i want for you and for our child if you do n't help me . unless ... stefan : unless what ? gabby : sometimes when i 'm trapped in abigail 's mind , you 're the only light that i have . but maybe out here in the real world , i 'm already a memory . maybe you 've given up on me and i 'm just fading away . stefan : no . i would never do that , not ever . [ soft dramatic music ] sheila : come on , man , there 's no reason to be this way . you do n't have to get the towing company involved . lani : she 's right , dad . it 'll cost eli $ 250 to get his car off the impound . sheila : another $ 250 'cause he already sprang my car . abe : well , maybe you should pay him back . sheila : [ scoffs ] as i 've already stated at a prior time before this , i do n't have the money . but see , that makes people think they can look at me a certain kind of way , like how you 're looking at me now . [ scoffs ] but you know what ? eli , he understands the struggle . the man 's even letting me crash at his place . abe : well , maybe it 's time for you to do what most of society tries to do . sheila : and what 's that ? abe : find a job . sheila : i know every listing for this place . i check it every day . but the only job i 'm remotely qualified for -- executive assistant to the mayor ? please , i 'll take that over my dead body . abe : my sentiments exactly . move eli 's car ... or else . [ tense music ] sheila : [ sighs ] julie : eli , i ca n't believe that you 're involved with another ex - con . eli : grandma , it 's like i told you . i - i did n't just get involved with her now . i mean , sheila and i grew up together . i was real tight with her and her brother . look , it 's my fault that they went to prison . i sandbagged them . it was a total career move . julie : well , they must 've done something for you to put them away . eli : they did , but ... sheila 's brother died in prison . i 'd like to do something to help straighten out her life , give her a second chance . julie : i love your heart so much . my grandson eli saving the world one ex - con at a time . eli : [ laughs ] julie : just please , sweetie , do n't date 'em . eli : grandma , give her a shot . julie : well , i believe in second chances . and if you believe in this sheila so much , i 'll be glad to see what i can do . [ laughs ] eli : thank you . julie : thank you . kate : gabi did n't convince me to do anything . abigail : you said that chad 's happiness is important to you . but going after me hurts chad , and you would n't really do that voluntarily , so ... she must have something on you . kate : okay , look . i simply reported what happened -- no more , no less . abigail : we 're talking about my family , kate . this is my life . i do n't really understand how you just go and do that to a person . kate : abigail , i never meant to hurt you . abigail : you are lying ! just admit it ! kate : stop . jennifer : abigail , please . please . abigail : i know . jennifer : please . abigail : i know . i 'm sorry . it 's just all falling apart . i feel like kate and gabi are just trying to ruin my life , and it 's like there 's nothing i can do about it . jennifer : it 's gon na be all right . we 're gon na go see kayla , and it 's all gon na be okay . all right ? abigail : i do n't need a doctor . i need answers . and if kate wo n't give them to me , i know where i can get them . jennifer : abigail . chad : hey . [ soft music ] stefan : i love you . i love you more than anyone i 've ever loved before in my entire life . gabby : well , i 've never loved anyone ever except for you . and i want to keep loving you and our child . that 's why i 'm looking for my chance . abigail believes that she 's been integrated , but i believe , with your help , that i can take over permanently and i can banish her to the dark hole where she 's kept me . but we need a plan . stefan : um , yeah , okay , but , uh ... chad and abigail have pretty much banned me from having any contact with abigail or information on the baby , so i ... gabby : since when do you back away from something you really want ? stefan : [ laughs ] i 've -- i 've spoken to an attorney , and he 's advised me to ... to back off until the baby 's born , and then i can sue for maybe some sort of custody . gabby : so you 're not really doing anything , just drinking alone and reading baby books ? stefan : no , i 'm fighting for her , and i will continue to -- gabby ? gabby ? gabby : i do n't want to leave you . but maybe you 're the one who 's leaving me . why are you abandoning us ? [ tense music ] gabi : i saved your life , jj . i sat next to you to make sure that you 'd be around to wake up the next morning . you told me that i was a good person . jj : you are . gabi : well , your hand in my purse shows me that you 're not quite sure of that , that you think i 'm capable of all the things that abigail says i 'm guilty of . except this bump on my head is not the only reason i think gabby with a y is back . kate has seen her . kate got pushed into the bushes . jj : look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry abigail attacked you and kate , but she 's my sister . i love her . i have to help her . gabi : okay , and so -- and indicting an innocent woman , is that something you 'd do ? which , by the way , she 's already done . jj : i 'm sorry . gabi : you used to love me , and now you think that i 'm capable of destroying my best friend 's life ? jj : no , i - i don't . i just -- i do n't know what to believe . gabi : i get it . it 's easier to believe that i would , uh -- i would create some crazy plot against your sister than to face the fact that she might be sick again . and despite everything that she 's put me through , i still love her . and i want nothing more than for her to get the help that she needs . abigail : stop pretending like you give a damn about me . sheila : huh , your old man is a major piece of work . is he like this with everybody , or is it just me ? lani : you definitely get under his skin . sheila : yours too . [ chuckles ] the other day , i probably should 've kept my opinions about your pops to myself ... and my opinions about you ... and my opinions about you messing with eli 's heart . and , um , the bit about me calling you a skank -- kind of overstated , so yeah , i 'm sorry about that too . lani : thank you . sheila : but your dad , though ? i mean , i know you love the old man , but , whoo , he 's enough to give somebody hives . just have me itching all over . ugh . lani : so do yourself a favor and stop pushing his buttons . sheila : well , he can return the favor and stop pushing mine . whatever . is it okay if i wait for eli ? or is there a law against that too ? thank you . [ sly music ] lani : so you 're staying with eli ? sheila : yup . man 's a real good guy . lani : his place is a little -- a little cramped . sheila : oh , girl , what you say . it 's hard to turn around without bumping into one another . although a woman can bump into worse . [ laughs ] but it 's just temporary . soon as i get a real paying job , i 'm out , moving on my own . abe : yeah , will do . all right , bye , now . well , sweetheart , did you come in here to get away from ... that person too ? lani : i just wanted to thank you for not towing eli 's car . abe : i - i would n't have done it . you know , but that watkins character is an absolute nightmare . lani : she has n't had a lot of breaks , dad . she 's obviously not a bad person . abe : she helped bonnie lockhart take over adrienne 's life . lani : okay , bad choice . absolutely . but sheila 's trying to get her act together now . and it would be so much easier if she had a job . abe : are you about to ask me a favor ? lani : yes . abe : the answer 's no . actually , make that hell no . chad : damn it . kate : chad . i 'm so sorry . chad : for what ? you told the truth , right ? so she 's just not ready to see it . kate : i just hope that this all resolves itself very quickly . chad : yeah , so do i . kate : [ sighs ] jennifer : i , uh -- i want to apologize for the way that abigail just came after you like that . i -- i 'm sorry . kate : your daughter is a lunatic , just like your mother . jennifer : she 's upset . and everything that she just said was true . you 've always sided with gabi when it comes to chad . you have always undercut and insulted abigail . kate : you know , instead of coming after me , you should be getting your daughter the help she needs before she kills someone again . [ tense music ] jj : are n't you supposed to be at the hospital ? abigail : oh , no , not when all the answers are right here , hmm ? so how 'd you do it , gabi ? i get drug in the tea . that 's really easy . i got that . but what i 'm really curious about ? how 'd you put the wig on me ? how did you change my clothes and drive me to dimera mansion ? 'cause that sure sounds like a hell of a lot of work . then you smashed yourself over the head , but i 'm the one that 's crazy here . jj : hey , we should go . abigail : okay , yeah , hang on . do you want to explain that ? gabi : i mean , i ca n't believe you 'd even go there . you sound insane . you know that , right ? abigail : oh , no , no , no . i get insane . insane , i get that . but this , this is reality . and you 're not doing it alone , are you ? you got kate out there . she 's spreading your lies . gabi : kate ? what are you -- i have n't -- i do n't even know what kate said . abigail : yeah , whatever . every time you are in trouble , kate is right there . she 's just right there , okay ? gabi : what are you -- abigail : and then you got this -- the problem with almost - dead nick , you know , the guy -- do you remember nick ? he 's the guy that you did n't quite kill the first time . she was right there and helped you pitch him into a stream . gabi : he attacked me . shut the hell up ! abigail : okay , so why the hell would n't she help you this time ? she 's not really ever been a big fan of mine , and she 's always been rooting for you and chad to be together . gabi : you are so paranoid . abigail : i do n't know . paranoid ? is it paranoid if it 's true ? and you 've gone extreme before . you are the one who hired that psycho stalker who kidnapped melanie just because , oh , you wanted to have a little bit of alone time with chad . gabi : are you kidding me ? i did n't even know that guy was a psycho . abigail : just stop . admit what you are doing , and end it now . gabi : you know what ? if -- if -- if i did this , which i did not ... abigail : mm - hmm - hmm - hmm . gabi : abigail , would you blame me ? i went to prison , got beat up , ca n't have children because of you . and everybody just gives you a pass because you 're sick , right ? abigail , poor abigail 's sick . abigail : mm . so do you want me to pay , gabi ? 'cause that kind of sounds like a confession to me . gabi : see , i would never destroy your life the way that you destroyed mine . and all this ... this all , it 's you , abigail and gabby . because your did is back . and this time , everybody 's gon na know about it so that you will never be able to hurt somebody the way you hurt me . abigail : please tell me that you see that she is lying and she is setting me up . jj : look , i want to get to the bottom of this , but arguing with gabi is n't the way . abigail : do you believe her ? jj : look , i want to -- i want the truth too , abigail , but i think that right now , let 's just take you to the hospital . abigail : [ scoffs ] yeah , i 'm gon na go , but not to the hospital . and i 'm taking my son with me . -computer , order pizza . lani : so you and sheila did n't hit it off . but maybe if you give her a chance ... abe : as being my executive assistant ? lani : if eli believes in her , i mean , how bad could she be ? abe : why are you trying to help her ? lani : i do n't know . i - i guess i feel sorry for her . i mean , she 's loud and totally obnoxious and opinionated , but that 's just her armor . abe : [ laughs ] do n't tell me there 's a heart of gold in there . lani : well , what if there is and she 's just been so hurt in the past that she 's hiding behind being -- abe : oh , behind being a pain in the ass ? lani : dad , you are so kind , and you 're always giving everyone the benefit of the doubt . ca n't you just do that for sheila ? eli : what the hell , sheila ? you parked my car in abe 's spot . why are you parking a car in abe 's spot again ? are you insane ? sheila : well , hello to you too , hot stuff . and yes , i did . but i already talked to shaft , and it 's all good . eli : look , if you say so . sheila : well , your car 's still there , is n't it ? eli : anyway , i talked to my grandma , and she agreed to let you work at her nightclub . sheila : shut up ! are you serious ? thank you so much . you know , i 've always had a dream to be a singer . i mean , like ... ha eli : hold on . hold on . she did n't offer you an opportunity as a singer . sheila : well , what , then ? eli : a dishwasher . sheila : [ laughs ] you 're joking , right ? are you serious ? gabi : abigail , you can do whatever you want , but thomas is sleeping . do you really want to wake him up ? abigail : he 's my son , not yours . gabi : this is his home now . abigail : do you really think , after everything that you 've done to me , that i 'm gon na leave my son here with you ? [ laughs ] chad : the only place you 're gon na go is the hospital . abigail : no , i 'm not . you ca n't force me . chad : and you 're not taking thomas . abigail : fine . but i will kiss him good night . you ca n't possibly have a problem with that . jj : i 'll go with you , sis . abigail : and , you know , i might not be taking my son with me tonight , but if y ' all think i 'm gon na leave him here with the two of you in this house , you are out of your mind . gabi : abigail is completely out of control . you need to do something , chad . stefan : do you remember the last time i saw you ? take my hand . take my hand . `` hold on to me . `` that 's what i said . no , this is -- this is -- this is how we do it . but we -- but ... we have to play this thing carefully . gabby : careful 's just really never been our style . i 'm scared , sam . i 'm trapped inside abigail 's mind , and only your love can save me . and if you do n't do something soon , then abigail 's family is gon na lock her away in a padded cell , and they are gon na throw away the key . and wherever she goes , i go . i do n't really think that 's what you want . stefan : no . look at me . i will never lose you again . i will never ... lose you again . [ dramatic music ] gabi : i mean , abigail , she stormed in , started throwing around wild accusations . and then she said she was gon na take thomas . i do n't know if jj and i could 've stopped her . i mean , thank god you arrived when you did , because what if she would 've run off with him ?

[ tense music ] ok , i 'm ready ... sheila : if i wanted a job being a dishwasher , i could 've stayed in prison . eli : look , i know it 's not ideal , but you do n't have a lot of choices . sheila : well , i 've had enough of that ass 's behind for one day . lani : sheila , my dad has something he would like to say . sheila : if you 're gon na get on me again about the parking spot , over and out . okay , i 'll move the car . abe : hold on , ms . watkins . i am eager to fill the executive assistant position in my office . and i wanted to know if you would be interested . sheila : [ laughs ] julie : [ sighs ] sheila : so i finished all the dishes , mrs . williams . julie : oh , wonderful . now you can get started on those . sheila : [ sighs ] [ sly music ] i 'll take it . jennifer : i was hoping it would n't come to this . chad : yeah , me too , but i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't see any other options . jennifer : okay , well , i will ... i will find kayla , and we 'll meet you at the hospital . chad : see you soon . gabi : chad , i -- i 'm sorry it 's come to this , but you 're doing the right thing . jj : hey , sorry . susan banks cornered me upstairs , something about realigning my energy . where 's abigail ? abigail : thank god you 're here . stefan : gabby ? abigail : no . i 'm abigail . but if you ever loved any part of me , i need your help . i 'm desperate .

[ sighs ] i was hoping you were distancing yourself from the cunning little vixen gabi . i know . i know . if you ca n't say something nice about a person ... but i do speak the truth here . i mean , gabi is the only girl i know who 's been convicted of murder twice in four years . and her first victim was your cousin nick . eli : grandma , we all know that gabi killed nick out of self - defense . and she was framed for killing andre dimera . julie : you may have a point . nevertheless , i 'm more than pleased to know you 're not entangled with her anymore , because that girl is bad news , eli . and it 's never going to be any better .

sheila : well , i would never park my car there again . lesson learned . but eli 's car ? i mean , 'cause there is no way you would have your girlfriend 's son 's car towed . basic logic . pfft . abe : you 're right . i would n't have eli 's car towed . but since now i know you 're responsible ... maybe i will . basic logic . sheila : [ scoffs ] eli : sheila 's had a rough time . she really needs a job to get back on her feet , so i hoping maybe you might have something . julie : well , the holidays are almost upon us . we 've booked a lot of parties . eli : great . julie : maybe i can find some way that she would help out . um , what kind of work has she done ? eli : uh , she worked at a fast - food restaurant , uh , back in the day -- the crab bucket . julie : not exactly fine dining . what has she done lately ? what was her last job ? eli : no , she worked as a maid for the kiriakis family . julie : oh , well , darling , problem solved . i 'll call maggie , and they 'll rehire her . eli : no , no , that -- that was n't exactly the best fit . julie : i see . well , she must have done something in the meantime . i mean , what happened between the crab bucket and dusting maggie 's tchotchkes ? eli : she was in prison . julie : oh , eli . not another jailbird . jj : look , i - i - i really did come over here to see how you were . gabi : and , uh , search for something ? evidence , maybe ? which means you think i am guilty of something . jj : abigail is convinced she has n't split , and given your anger at her , she 's -- she 's mentioned that -- that you might be -- gabi : that what , jj ? that i 'm buying wigs and drugging my best friend , making her look crazy ? come on , do you know how that sounds ? jj : i know . gabi : you really think i would go that far , that i 'm that vindictive ? jj : look , i - i do n't want to , but abigail is my sister , and she 's struggling . look , i do n't know what the truth is , but i 'm gon na do whatever i can to help her get to it . gabi : you know , i could understand abigail thinking that i set her up , given our history and her paranoia . but you , jj ? you really think i 'm capable of doing something so ridiculous ? kate : i admit we have n't always been very close . abigail : that 's an understatement . kate : but i thought we got past it . jennifer : abigail , just -- we just need to calm down right now . abigail : what ? i need to calm down ? chad : please , abby . abigail : i will do that as soon as kate stops lying to me . kate : i know how hard you have fought to get your health back . and i know this has to be a terrible blow . i do . but we 're all here to help you . abigail : do not pretend like you are concerned about me , because this is exactly what you want . kate : that is so preposterous that i -- abigail : i do n't know . it makes sense to me , because , you know , when i came back to salem , you had your heart set on chad and gabi being together . but chad chose me . kate : [ sighs ] because you make him happy . because he loves you . and that 's what i care about . i care about his happiness . and any ill will i had towards you , i got rid of a long time ago , abigail . abigail : until i killed andre . so is this your revenge ? kate : clearly , you are under a lot of stress . but you 're here now , and that 's wonderful , because you are going to get the help you need . abigail : do not patronize me . do n't do it . just tell me how she did it . how did she convince you to lie about me ? gabby : this is our baby , stefan , not abigail 's . our love created it . so i 'm gon na need you to get up off your ass and fight for us and for our child . sitting around here reading boring baby books and drinking yourself into accepting the fact that you are having abigail 's child and not mine is n't exactly my idea of fighting . stefan : look , i - i ... confronted abigail . and she 's -- she 's freaked out that you 're back . i - i ... i mean , i even -- i even went with her to her psychiatrist 's appointment . gabby : and what happened ? stefan : nothing . gabby : well , `` nothing `` is n't acceptable , not when i 'm the one that 's doing all the heavy lifting . i even had to whack gabi with an i in the head just to get over here and see you . stefan : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm -- gabby ? gabby : you 're the only person who 's ever understood me , sam . your love gives me life , defines me . and we have created a new life . but i ca n't do it alone . i ca n't be want i want for you and for our child if you do n't help me . unless ... stefan : unless what ? gabby : sometimes when i 'm trapped in abigail 's mind , you 're the only light that i have . but maybe out here in the real world , i 'm already a memory . maybe you 've given up on me and i 'm just fading away . stefan : no . i would never do that , not ever . [ soft dramatic music ] sheila : come on , man , there 's no reason to be this way . you do n't have to get the towing company involved . lani : she 's right , dad . it 'll cost eli $ 250 to get his car off the impound . sheila : another $ 250 'cause he already sprang my car . abe : well , maybe you should pay him back . sheila : [ scoffs ] as i 've already stated at a prior time before this , i do n't have the money . but see , that makes people think they can look at me a certain kind of way , like how you 're looking at me now . [ scoffs ] but you know what ? eli , he understands the struggle . the man 's even letting me crash at his place . abe : well , maybe it 's time for you to do what most of society tries to do . sheila : and what 's that ? abe : find a job . sheila : i know every listing for this place . i check it every day . but the only job i 'm remotely qualified for -- executive assistant to the mayor ? please , i 'll take that over my dead body . abe : my sentiments exactly . move eli 's car ... or else . [ tense music ] sheila : [ sighs ] julie : eli , i ca n't believe that you 're involved with another ex - con . eli : grandma , it 's like i told you . i - i did n't just get involved with her now . i mean , sheila and i grew up together . i was real tight with her and her brother . look , it 's my fault that they went to prison . i sandbagged them . it was a total career move . julie : well , they must 've done something for you to put them away . eli : they did , but ... sheila 's brother died in prison . i 'd like to do something to help straighten out her life , give her a second chance . julie : i love your heart so much . my grandson eli saving the world one ex - con at a time . eli : [ laughs ] julie : just please , sweetie , do n't date 'em . eli : grandma , give her a shot . julie : well , i believe in second chances . and if you believe in this sheila so much , i 'll be glad to see what i can do . [ laughs ] eli : thank you . julie : thank you . kate : gabi did n't convince me to do anything . abigail : you said that chad 's happiness is important to you . but going after me hurts chad , and you would n't really do that voluntarily , so ... she must have something on you . kate : okay , look . i simply reported what happened -- no more , no less . abigail : we 're talking about my family , kate . this is my life . i do n't really understand how you just go and do that to a person . kate : abigail , i never meant to hurt you . abigail : you are lying ! just admit it ! kate : stop . jennifer : abigail , please . please . abigail : i know . jennifer : please . abigail : i know . i 'm sorry . it 's just all falling apart . i feel like kate and gabi are just trying to ruin my life , and it 's like there 's nothing i can do about it . jennifer : it 's gon na be all right . we 're gon na go see kayla , and it 's all gon na be okay . all right ? abigail : i do n't need a doctor . i need answers . and if kate wo n't give them to me , i know where i can get them . jennifer : abigail . chad : hey . [ soft music ] stefan : i love you . i love you more than anyone i 've ever loved before in my entire life . gabby : well , i 've never loved anyone ever except for you . and i want to keep loving you and our child . that 's why i 'm looking for my chance . abigail believes that she 's been integrated , but i believe , with your help , that i can take over permanently and i can banish her to the dark hole where she 's kept me . but we need a plan . stefan : um , yeah , okay , but , uh ... chad and abigail have pretty much banned me from having any contact with abigail or information on the baby , so i ... gabby : since when do you back away from something you really want ? stefan : [ laughs ] i 've -- i 've spoken to an attorney , and he 's advised me to ... to back off until the baby 's born , and then i can sue for maybe some sort of custody . gabby : so you 're not really doing anything , just drinking alone and reading baby books ? stefan : no , i 'm fighting for her , and i will continue to -- gabby ? gabby ? gabby : i do n't want to leave you . but maybe you 're the one who 's leaving me . why are you abandoning us ? [ tense music ] gabi : i saved your life , jj . i sat next to you to make sure that you 'd be around to wake up the next morning . you told me that i was a good person . jj : you are . gabi : well , your hand in my purse shows me that you 're not quite sure of that , that you think i 'm capable of all the things that abigail says i 'm guilty of . except this bump on my head is not the only reason i think gabby with a y is back . kate has seen her . kate got pushed into the bushes . jj : look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry abigail attacked you and kate , but she 's my sister . i love her . i have to help her . gabi : okay , and so -- and indicting an innocent woman , is that something you 'd do ? which , by the way , she 's already done . jj : i 'm sorry . gabi : you used to love me , and now you think that i 'm capable of destroying my best friend 's life ? jj : no , i - i don't . i just -- i do n't know what to believe . gabi : i get it . it 's easier to believe that i would , uh -- i would create some crazy plot against your sister than to face the fact that she might be sick again . and despite everything that she 's put me through , i still love her . and i want nothing more than for her to get the help that she needs . abigail : stop pretending like you give a damn about me . sheila : huh , your old man is a major piece of work . is he like this with everybody , or is it just me ? lani : you definitely get under his skin . sheila : yours too . [ chuckles ] the other day , i probably should 've kept my opinions about your pops to myself ... and my opinions about you ... and my opinions about you messing with eli 's heart . and , um , the bit about me calling you a skank -- kind of overstated , so yeah , i 'm sorry about that too . lani : thank you . sheila : but your dad , though ? i mean , i know you love the old man , but , whoo , he 's enough to give somebody hives . just have me itching all over . ugh . lani : so do yourself a favor and stop pushing his buttons . sheila : well , he can return the favor and stop pushing mine . whatever . is it okay if i wait for eli ? or is there a law against that too ? thank you . [ sly music ] lani : so you 're staying with eli ? sheila : yup . man 's a real good guy . lani : his place is a little -- a little cramped . sheila : oh , girl , what you say . it 's hard to turn around without bumping into one another . although a woman can bump into worse . [ laughs ] but it 's just temporary . soon as i get a real paying job , i 'm out , moving on my own . abe : yeah , will do . all right , bye , now . well , sweetheart , did you come in here to get away from ... that person too ? lani : i just wanted to thank you for not towing eli 's car . abe : i - i would n't have done it . you know , but that watkins character is an absolute nightmare . lani : she has n't had a lot of breaks , dad . she 's obviously not a bad person . abe : she helped bonnie lockhart take over adrienne 's life . lani : okay , bad choice . absolutely . but sheila 's trying to get her act together now . and it would be so much easier if she had a job . abe : are you about to ask me a favor ? lani : yes . abe : the answer 's no . actually , make that hell no . chad : damn it . kate : chad . i 'm so sorry . chad : for what ? you told the truth , right ? so she 's just not ready to see it . kate : i just hope that this all resolves itself very quickly . chad : yeah , so do i . kate : [ sighs ] jennifer : i , uh -- i want to apologize for the way that abigail just came after you like that . i -- i 'm sorry . kate : your daughter is a lunatic , just like your mother . jennifer : she 's upset . and everything that she just said was true . you 've always sided with gabi when it comes to chad . you have always undercut and insulted abigail . kate : you know , instead of coming after me , you should be getting your daughter the help she needs before she kills someone again . [ tense music ] jj : are n't you supposed to be at the hospital ? abigail : oh , no , not when all the answers are right here , hmm ? so how 'd you do it , gabi ? i get drug in the tea . that 's really easy . i got that . but what i 'm really curious about ? how 'd you put the wig on me ? how did you change my clothes and drive me to dimera mansion ? 'cause that sure sounds like a hell of a lot of work . then you smashed yourself over the head , but i 'm the one that 's crazy here . jj : hey , we should go . abigail : okay , yeah , hang on . do you want to explain that ? gabi : i mean , i ca n't believe you 'd even go there . you sound insane . you know that , right ? abigail : oh , no , no , no . i get insane . insane , i get that . but this , this is reality . and you 're not doing it alone , are you ? you got kate out there . she 's spreading your lies . gabi : kate ? what are you -- i have n't -- i do n't even know what kate said . abigail : yeah , whatever . every time you are in trouble , kate is right there . she 's just right there , okay ? gabi : what are you -- abigail : and then you got this -- the problem with almost - dead nick , you know , the guy -- do you remember nick ? he 's the guy that you did n't quite kill the first time . she was right there and helped you pitch him into a stream . gabi : he attacked me . shut the hell up ! abigail : okay , so why the hell would n't she help you this time ? she 's not really ever been a big fan of mine , and she 's always been rooting for you and chad to be together . gabi : you are so paranoid . abigail : i do n't know . paranoid ? is it paranoid if it 's true ? and you 've gone extreme before . you are the one who hired that psycho stalker who kidnapped melanie just because , oh , you wanted to have a little bit of alone time with chad . gabi : are you kidding me ? i did n't even know that guy was a psycho . abigail : just stop . admit what you are doing , and end it now . gabi : you know what ? if -- if -- if i did this , which i did not ... abigail : mm - hmm - hmm - hmm . gabi : abigail , would you blame me ? i went to prison , got beat up , ca n't have children because of you . and everybody just gives you a pass because you 're sick , right ? abigail , poor abigail 's sick . abigail : mm . so do you want me to pay , gabi ? 'cause that kind of sounds like a confession to me . gabi : see , i would never destroy your life the way that you destroyed mine . and all this ... this all , it 's you , abigail and gabby . because your did is back . and this time , everybody 's gon na know about it so that you will never be able to hurt somebody the way you hurt me . abigail : please tell me that you see that she is lying and she is setting me up . jj : look , i want to get to the bottom of this , but arguing with gabi is n't the way . abigail : do you believe her ? jj : look , i want to -- i want the truth too , abigail , but i think that right now , let 's just take you to the hospital . abigail : [ scoffs ] yeah , i 'm gon na go , but not to the hospital . and i 'm taking my son with me . -computer , order pizza . lani : so you and sheila did n't hit it off . but maybe if you give her a chance ... abe : as being my executive assistant ? lani : if eli believes in her , i mean , how bad could she be ? abe : why are you trying to help her ? lani : i do n't know . i - i guess i feel sorry for her . i mean , she 's loud and totally obnoxious and opinionated , but that 's just her armor . abe : [ laughs ] do n't tell me there 's a heart of gold in there . lani : well , what if there is and she 's just been so hurt in the past that she 's hiding behind being -- abe : oh , behind being a pain in the ass ? lani : dad , you are so kind , and you 're always giving everyone the benefit of the doubt . ca n't you just do that for sheila ? eli : what the hell , sheila ? you parked my car in abe 's spot . why are you parking a car in abe 's spot again ? are you insane ? sheila : well , hello to you too , hot stuff . and yes , i did . but i already talked to shaft , and it 's all good . eli : look , if you say so . sheila : well , your car 's still there , is n't it ? eli : anyway , i talked to my grandma , and she agreed to let you work at her nightclub . sheila : shut up ! are you serious ? thank you so much . you know , i 've always had a dream to be a singer . i mean , like ... ha eli : hold on . hold on . she did n't offer you an opportunity as a singer . sheila : well , what , then ? eli : a dishwasher . sheila : [ laughs ] you 're joking , right ? are you serious ? gabi : abigail , you can do whatever you want , but thomas is sleeping . do you really want to wake him up ? abigail : he 's my son , not yours . gabi : this is his home now . abigail : do you really think , after everything that you 've done to me , that i 'm gon na leave my son here with you ?

[ coughing ] cameron : uh , you okay ? jj : could i get some water , please ? cameron : yeah , no problem . here you go . jj : thanks , man . cameron : yeah . no worries . justin : i thought we were through with this . i thought you were okay with sonny and will . adrienne : look , i tried . and , you know what , i did really well . then i started having doubts again . and i tried to suppress -- in fact , i kept it to myself , for the most part . justin : okay . so when did these doubts start ? adrienne : when will almost got sonny killed on smith island . justin : but , honey , that was n't will 's fault . adrienne : but the only reason that sonny was there was because of will 's baby drama . justin : and will was the one who took the bullet . adrienne : this time . and do n't tell me there 's not going to be a next time , 'cause this is chaos , dangerous chaos , and no young person should have to live with that . my god , do n't you see how this relationship with will is dangerous for our little boy ? justin : our little boy is a grown man . he 's making his own choices now , and you ca n't change that , nor can you protect him any longer . now , look , i got ta go . we can talk about this later . but , honey , listen to me . you need to take a step back . okay ? you ca n't dictate sonny 's partners or my clients . sonny : she got very excited when i said it 's time to hang out with dad . will : yeah ? sonny : yeah . will : hi , precious . oh . sonny : listen , i 'm going to go check in at the coffee house . you two okay ? will ? will : what ? sonny : you 're so gone right now . i 'll see you later . will : see you later , see ya . sami : thanks for your vote of confidence . eric : sami , i - i 'm still on your side , sami . sami : unless i 'm wrong or lying or both . eric : no , especially then . i know you protected rafe . i just -- i just know that it would be better for you if it did n't go in front of a jury . sami : well , obviously , no one wants this to go to trial , but if it does , then -- what ? eric : you were under oath when you swore that lucas hit will . sami : oh , come on . that was a million years ago . eric : listen , i 'm not a lawyer , but i know they can still try to bring that up to impeach you . it 's about making you look bad now . it 's about your credibility . sami : well , this is one of those moments where it would be really useful if i were ... eric : no , no , no . sami : perfect , like you . eric : no , do n't , sami . listen , can i -- can i ask you something without ticking you off ? sami : you 've never been able to do it before . ask . eric : when you saw that guy holding the knife , standing over rafe , why did n't you scream for help ? why was it your first instinct to shoot ? kristen : ej , hey . ej : hey . kristen : where 's the fire ? ej : um , i 'm surrounded by flames at the moment . i 'm sorry , samantha 's meeting with her lawyer , i have to -- kristen : it 's only gon na take a second . i just want to say thank you . ej : for ? kristen : you 've been really good to me since my wedding just , you know , disintegrated . you took everything out of the house , did n't you ? all the wedding stuff . ej : i moved a few things around , that 's all . kristen : no , you and chad dismantled everything , so i would n't be upset . you 've been a good brother to me , and i know i 'm not real chatty about it , but i 'm grateful . ej : you 're very welcome . kristen : you 're a good guy , deep down in there somewhere . [ laughs ] anyway , i care about you more than i let on , okay ? ej : kristen -- kristen : what ? good luck with sami . ej : no , no , hold on . darling , i 'm sorry , but why do i get the sense you 're saying good - bye ? this day calls you . jj : [ coughing ] hey , cameron . that report on your patients -- when can i get it ? cameron : uh , after -- after i finish charting . okay . cameron : yeah . jj : who was that ? cameron : this is the residents ' room . about 20 of us doctors share it . jj : oh , no kidding . god , must be like grand central station in here . abigail : cameron , i 'm -- jj , what are you doing here ? jj : um , i 'm just saying hi . abigail : oh . um -- well , i do n't want to interrupt you guys . cameron : no , abigail -- sorry . jj : hey , man . adrienne : hi . will : hi . adrienne : how is that little beauty ? will : oh , she 's pretty good . adrienne : oh , god . looks like she 's grown . will : yeah , i hope so . gabi says she 's a great eater , and , um -- sonny 's not here , by the way . sorry . adrienne : no , really , that 's okay . i , um -- i wanted to talk to you . [ knocking at door ] chad : this is a bad day , sonny . i 'm really squeezed for time , and -- sonny : bet i know why . chad : holy -- how did you get that ? sonny : you sent it to me . chad : that day at the coffee house . damn it . have you shown anyone this ? sonny : of course i have n't . you know what this could do to sami 's case ? chad : yeah , it could help put her in jail for life . sami : eric , i already had that gun in my hand . screaming was n't going to disarm him . for all i know , if i had shouted or freaked out , it might have just made him act faster . eric : it was just quick thinking . sami : i was n't really thinking at all . i just ... had a lot of time to figure it out since then . eric : hey . you know , what you just said was probably true . sami : i do n't know . i do n't know about that . i mean , maybe i should have done something different . maybe i -- eric : sami , do n't second - guess yourself . sami : is n't that exactly what you 're doing right now ? eric : i 'm just trying to understand . i 'm trying to figure out how to defend you . sami : well , you do n't have to do that anymore . i know it 's been your job since we were four , but i have a lawyer , a really good lawyer , okay ? and you have to get to the capitol . for whatever it is you are doing there . eric : it 's just red tape about the school . sami : is there a danger that it might not open ? eric : it 's nothing to worry about , okay ? i do n't want you to even think about it . i want you to just stay out of trouble for the next day or two . sami : well , these bars are going to help with that , huh ? eric : so ... sami : well , by the time you get back , i 'll probably be out . eric : yeah . you better be . sami : okay . eric : listen , you told the police everything , right ? you 're not holding anything back ? sami : [ grunting ] bernardi : you crazy -- sami : oh , you think i 'm crazy ? you wait till you call the cops , see how they feel about this . [ laughs ] eric . of course i did . get out of here . kristen : oh , that 's really nice . i ca n't say something sweet to my brother without you thinking i 'm leaving town ? or better yet , maybe i 'm dying , and in two weeks from now ... ej : okay , okay . kristen : you 're going to go , `` oh , what a poignant moment that was . i love my sister . `` ej : okay , i apologize . thank you for your kind words . kristen : yeah . well , so much for family bonding . what is happening with sami ? i can tell something 's changed since i last saw you . what is it ? ej : a distraction . that 's all . kristen : a distraction ? can i help ? ej : uh , no , i think , finally , everything is under control . you have n't heard from father , have you ? kristen : no , uh - uh . he 's not going to be found unless he wants to be found . ej : do n't give him too much credit . he 's old . he might be losing a step . kristen : ej , not when his life 's on the line . that 's why he 's still alive . that 's why he 's a free man . because he 's careful . he covers his tracks . ej : uh - huh . kristen : he never leaves behind a trace of evidence . ej : uh - huh . kristen : now those are words to live by , hmm ? ej : uh - huh . kristen : do n't forget . ej : uh - huh . what , exactly , is it that you 're really trying to tell me ? kristen : nothing . good luck with sami 's case . ej : kristen , tell me what you 're up to . kristen : nothing . ej : nothing ? kristen : much . ej : ah . kristen : oh , ej , would n't it be wonderful , though , if , very soon , you and i both had something fabulous to celebrate ? ej : mm . will : okay , what 's up ? adrienne : how does it feel to hold her , hold your child ? will : well , um , well , it 's like -- i do n't know . there are not really words , you know ? i just want everything to be okay for her , you know ? like , forever . and , um , when she cries , i feel like crying and do n't want anything bad to happen to her and do n't ever want her to feel sad . but , you know , obviously , i do n't -- i do n't have a lot of control over that . adrienne : no . will : yeah . wish i did . adrienne : i know how you feel . but even though , you know , you do n't have a lot of control , it 's still your responsibility to do your damnedest to protect her . will : yeah . adrienne : yeah . will : that 's how you feel with your kids , hmm ? adrienne : yeah . and actually , that 's why i 'm here . you love sonny , right ? will : yes . adrienne : i know you do . that 's why i 'm asking you -- actually , i 'm begging you . do the right thing and break up with him . chad : look , i thought it was funny at the time . i still would have , if sami had n't ended up shooting the guy . sonny : my dad needs to know about this . chad : now , now , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , no . that 's not -- that 's not your call , okay ? ej knows about this . he 'll decide -- sonny : no , sami 's lawyer needs to know everything that 's out there that can come back and bite them . chad : it wo n't . we 're the only ones who have this . if we both delete it , then there 's no evidence . sonny : what if someone saw sami , and they come forward ? then what ? chad : there was no one else around . okay , and even if there was , it 's just a story . they do n't have enough evidence to back it up . sonny : then why was she going after this guy like that ? chad : ej said something about a misunderstanding . it got settled , no big deal . look , bottom line , i do n't think sami would shoot a guy in cold blood . sonny : neither do i . chad : good . then there 's something you can help me out with . cameron : hey , hey , hey , hey . will you wait up ? do n't just run off like that . just tell me . abigail : no , it 's fine , cameron . i just -- i do n't know , i just -- i like when things are nice and neat , and -- and nothing is gray . jj : what 's up , abs ? abigail : um , nothing , jj . do n't worry about it . i 'm fine . just , um -- i needed a friend to just ... uh -- jj : i 'm -- i 'm going . abigail : okay . jj : um , call me later , or i 'll hunt you down . abigail : thank you , bro . love you . cameron : [ clears throat ] so ... what 's gray ? abigail : i just -- i promised a friend that i would keep this secret , but i do n't know if it 's the right thing to do . and i just have this huge knot in my stomach now , and -- it 's probably not a good sign , is it ? cameron : you know what ? medically speaking , that 's -- that 's your gut telling you it 's a bad idea . abigail : right . cameron : yeah . abigail : god , i knew it . i knew it before the words even came out of my mouth . cameron : abigail , what 's going on ? [ cell phone ringing ] abigail : uh -- it 's not a big deal , cameron . [ cell phone rings ] abigail : um , i have to go , but thank you for your advice , thanks . sami : justin ? justin , thank you . hey , hey , thank you so much for taking my case . it means a lot to me . justin : of course . look , i just got preliminary discovery , so i have n't gone through all the evidence , but i think we have a case . sami : you do ? oh , thank you . thank god . everyone 's been so pessimistic because we could n't find the knife that bernardi used . but actually , i think i know why . my mom hypnotized me to help me remember all the details , and , um , i think it was a razor , not a knife . justin : really ? a razor ? sami : yeah , does n't that make sense , why they could n't find it ? i mean , maybe they put it away . someone put it away in a man 's toiletry bag or , you know , just misplaced it somehow . justin : um , yeah , i do n't know about that , but it 's an interesting choice of weapon . i mean , a knife is already more personal than a gun . a razor is even more so . sami : pretty personal for someone , right ? justin : do you have a theory about that ? sami : look , right now , i 'm just focused on what my brother said , that -- that me changing my story does n't look good for me . justin : yeah . your brother 's right . changing your story does n't look good at all . rory : whoo ! jj : i was afraid i 'd have to cough up a lung to get rid of the guy . rory : whoa , superior haul , man . jj : dude , there were so many samples , they wo n't even notice these are gone . you checking names ? rory : yeah . jj : and behind door number one , we have -- rory : it 's a laxative . jj : whoa , what ? rory : dude . and this one 's for sinus infections , man . jj : damn it . dude , i took a major risk to score these , and one of them better pay off . george : eric brady ? you 're father eric ? my parents live in salem . they go to st. luke 's . the durants . eric : right . you must be george . george : yeah . um , i heard that there was some trouble with the new school . eric : yes , there is . that 's why i 'm here . i have a meeting about it tomorrow . so that 's why i need a quiet room that i can prep in and where i wo n't be disturbed . george : absolutely . will : are you serious ? you want me to break up with sonny ? adrienne : you remember a conversation that you overheard between me and my husband ? will : are you talking about the one where you said sonny was too good for me and that my family and i are so screwed up , so we 're going to end up hurting him ? adrienne : look , i 'm sorry you had to hear that . obviously , it was n't meant for your ears . but no matter how unfair you may have thought it was , deep down , you knew i was right . that 's why you broke up with him . will : yeah , but -- adrienne : please , just let me finish , okay ? please , i just -- will : okay . adrienne : so you broke up with him . and then you thought about it , and you came to terms with who you were , and you convinced him that you two should get back together . will : right , so -- adrienne : right , so you did exactly as i predicted . you lied to him , and you broke his heart . will : um , sonny and i have moved past that . adrienne : oh , yes , yes , so it seemed , so it seemed . and then you got him involved in this whole mess with nick and gabi and almost got him killed . and now your mother has been accused of murder too . will : okay . is that my fault too ? adrienne : no , no . but your whole family , it 's all about the drama . serious drama , sometimes with tragic consequences . so whether you intend it or not , eventually , you are going to destroy my son . ca n't you see that ? chad : you 've got to admit , ej 's got a point . if sami had it out for bernardi , why would she shoot him in the middle of a hospital ? abigail : you 're asking me to explain how sami brady thinks ? really ? i mean -- i do n't know , maybe she thought that protecting rafe was , like , the perfect cover or something . sonny : everybody says that rafe was friends with this guy . and that 's what 's tripping people up . why would sami think it 's a great cover to say that rafe 's friend tried to kill him ? abigail : i do n't know , sonny . okay ? you guys are acting like i 'm the one that 's on trial here . i do n't know . chad : whoa , whoa , nobody -- you 're not on trial . abigail , this is a big deal . abigail : i know . sonny : all right , and i understand if you 're having trouble keeping quiet , but i would not ask you to do this if i was n't sure it was the right thing to do . so please , let it go . sami : is it seriously going to be a problem that i said it was a knife and then changed it to a razor ? i mean , the whole thing happened so quickly . justin : juries like consistent stories . sami : but i am telling the truth , i swear to god . you -- you believe me , do n't you ? justin : i have no reason not to . but , look , sami , i have to ask you , is there anything you have n't told the police about the case ? i 'm gon na give jimmy some honey maid teddy grahams to snack on . will : hmm . no , i - i do n't see how i 'm going to destroy your son . you know , the opposite is true , actually . i 'm doing everything in my power to make him happy , okay ? sonny and i are going to be together . it does not really matter what you think or how you feel . adrienne : do n't get yourself upset . will : well , maybe you should have thought of that before you came in and started telling me what a horrible person i was , okay ? when i get out of here , sonny and i are going to continue to live together . adrienne : and gabi and the baby , yes , i heard . will : oh , great . well , i 'm glad you love the idea . adrienne : what , just another sacrifice my son has to make for you . will : it was his idea . adrienne : of course it was . will : you know what ? i really wish that you could accept sonny and me . i really do . but if you ca n't , you 're going to be the one that takes a step back from sonny 's life . adrienne : i 'm his mother . will : i 'm the one he 's going to spend the rest of his life with , okay ? nothing is going to change that . adrienne : i was really hoping you would save yourself and my son a lot of pain by ending things now . because it will end , will . sooner or later , you will make some mistake , and you will end up breaking my son 's heart . and that will be it . that will be the final straw for my son . ej : justin . awfully sorry to interrupt . sami : no , of course . i was just going to tell justin that i would n't keep anything from the police . i mean , it was my dad and aunt hope and abe that questioned me . i told them everything they needed to know . ej : well , of course you did . justin : now i understand that roman 's been suspended while the case is ongoing . sami : all the more reason to get this resolved as quickly as possible . justin : look , sami , one thing you have in your favor is that juries always look for a motive . now , from what i 've read in your file , they are n't going to find one . abigail : okay , look . i do n't know what 's going on here . i do n't know what 's true , and i do n't know what 's not true . but what i do know , confidently , is that there is a video of sami brady in a serious fight with a man that she ended up shooting , and both of you seem to think that that is irrelevant . chad : yeah . abigail : how is that even possible ? chad : okay , all right . last fall , nicole was living at your house , and -- abigail : whoa , wait . nicole ? what does she have to do with -- chad : because she and your mom fought a lot , right ? people saw them fight . and when nicole fell down the stairs and lost her baby , she accused your mother of pushing her , and all those witnesses said , yeah , they 'd seen your mom and nicole fighting . abigail : my mom did n't push nicole . chad : did n't stop the cops from arresting her . in fact , they had to . abigail : they had to , you 're right . they arrested her , and everything worked out fine in the end . chad : because nicole backed down . what if she had n't ? what if she 'd been dead , like bernardi is , and the only evidence left was what people said they 'd seen ? sonny : your mom could have been sent to prison for something she did not do . chad : you want to make that happen to sami ? george : uh , good evening , ma'am . um , are you sure you 're in the right place ? kristen : [ foreign accent ] i am positive . george : uh , what 's the name again ? kristen : fay taylor . george : ah , i found it . um , you are in room 438 . kristen : no . no , i need room 201 . it 's very important . george : i - i 'm sorry . i 'm afraid that 's not possible . break a leg ! jj : z - a - n. what have we got ? rory : well , you just made some old dude in a bathtub really happy . jj : this blows , man . rory : what , is that it ? jj : no , we 've got one more . oh , jackpot . [ laughs ] adrienne : will , i know you 're upset , but just think about it . you have a chance here to do a really good thing and save a lot of people a lot of pain . but you wo n't , will you ? because you 're as selfish and destructive as your mother . will : whew . she is wrong about your daddy . she has no idea what she 's talking about . abigail : look , i get that there is a risk here . but there 's a risk either way . do you understand that you guys are asking me to cover up evidence in a murder investigation ? chad : it 's not evidence . abigail : chad -- chad : there 's no reason to think it has anything to do with the shooting . sonny : that 's what it looks like if we bring it to the cops . chad : yeah , look , if we delete the videos , then it 's done . abigail : okay , but -- but what if somebody else saw sami with bernardi ? chad : okay , if that happens , then we let justin and ej deal with it . but we 're not going to make sami 's defense any harder than it already is . abigail : sonny -- chad : agreed ? sonny : agreed . abigail : agreed . chad : look , we 're in this together , abigail . now i need you to promise me . abigail : i promise . i 'm with you . chad : okay . let 's do it . justin : okay , here 's the notice . we 'll get heard on bail within an hour . sami : i 'm ready . i 'm ready . justin : good . okay , with any luck , ej will be taking you home very soon . sami : okay . justin : now , sami , you have to be quiet in court , all right ? do not say one word until i tell you to . and then say exactly what i tell you to say . sami : i can do that . ej : okay . sami : come on . ej : i have to make a very quick phone call . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : one sec . ej . ej : hey . you have everything under control ? chad : yeah , we 're good . ej : is abigail with you too ? chad : yeah , it 's settled . ej : okay , now listen . i need you to delete the video . delete it from your phone , delete it from your computer , delete it from your server . just make sure it 's gone . got it ? chad : i 'm on it . ej : okay . thank you . sonny : did ej know i had a copy of the video ? chad : no , but i 'll tell him later . got enough on his plate right now . the important thing is that ej knows that all the videos are gone . it 's over . george : you do n't want that room , anyway . you 'd be next door to a priest . kristen : what has that got to do with me ? george : well , he 's working on a very important project tonight and ca n't be disturbed . he especially asked for quiet . he 'd probably be a pain to have as a neighbor . kristen : i 'll be quiet . george : um , you know , room 438 has a great view of the fountain -- kristen : i want room 201 . it 's the , uh , same room that my husband and i , we had our honeymoon . george : um , will he be -- kristen : he 's dead . my husband is dead , and i need that connection . it 's very important . i need that room . george : i 'm sorry . if i had known in advance -- kristen : you know now . i want that room . you fix it now . eric : can i help here ?

eric visited sami at the police station . he did n't think it was a good idea for her to face a jury . she did n't agree with his advice . he wanted to know why she did n't yell for help instead of shooting . justin and adrienne talked about her feelings towards sonny 's relationship with will . she continued to disapprove of sonny 's relationship with will . justin reminded her that sonny is a grown man and that she ca n't protect him forever . he also told her that she could n't dictate who his clients will be either . jj was at the hospital with cameron . when cameron left the room , jj stole drugs . sonny talked to chad and told him how chad sent him the video of sami fighting bernardi . sami did n't think she had time to call out for help . eric wanted to stay with sami , but she wanted him to go to the capitol . ej and kristen talked about sami . they also talked about whether or not stefano was involved with sami 's situation .

<s>[INST] will : [ sighs ] why did n't you tell me my mom was in jail ? sonny : there was nothing you could do . will : i could 've called her . i could 've visited her . sonny : no , she -- she ca n't get calls . she ca n't get calls , and you ca n't leave the hospital till the doctors release you . but ej is all over this . sami 's going to be okay . especially now that my dad 's representing her . adrienne : officer bernardi had a wife and a six - year - old son . justin : rafe has a family too . so does sami , for that matter . look , i 'm not going to have this fight . adrienne : you 're defending a cop killer . justin : adrienne , this is what i do . and if i can also help our son 's boyfriend -- adrienne : does it not bother you that our son is involved in this freak show , that he 's a part of it now ? justin : and how is it any better if i do n't defend sami ? if she ends up in prison ? sonny will still be seeing will . adrienne : well , that 's what we should be working on , then -- how to get our son away from that train wreck of a family . will : well , can we at least find out what 's holding up my release ? sonny : i just talked to the duty nurse , and she paged the doctor on call . will : great . sonny : and there 's just a few orders and things . but look , i have -- will : ow . sonny : hey , i have something for you . will : what , a bright , shiny object to distract me ? sonny : no , it 's a video of you and ari -- ej : this video can not get out . and neither one of you can say a word about this . chad : okay , no problem . ej : abigail , you understand ? abigail : i heard you . ej : do you agree ? abigail : i get that you want to protect sami , but does n't bernardi 's family deserve to know the truth ? eric : you 're going to wear a hole in the concrete floor . sami : hey . how 'd you get down here ? eric : well , the collar helps . is there anything you need ? sami : release papers ? eric : is there anything you need that wo n't land me right next to you ? sami : i just have to get out of here . i keep thinking about the kids . that 's the hardest part . eric : i know . but do n't you worry . everyone is taking care of them . sami : it should be me . eric : it will . listen , i 'm supposed to go to the state capitol tonight , for just a quick trip . but if you want me to stay here , i can -- sami : no , no . it 's okay . you can go . i 'm fine . actually , i 'm -- i 'm more than that . i mean it . eric : sami , did something happen ? sami : yeah . i remembered something . something important . kristen : i 'm sorry , sweet eric . i wish you could get away with just a tap . but the only way that marlena suffers enough is if you 're destroyed completely . jj : hey . cameron : jj . hey . uh , are you looking for your mom ? jj : uh , no , man . i came to see you . cameron : okay , uh , what 's up ? ej : officer bernardi 's wife already knows the truth . samantha shot her husband because he was trying to kill rafe . abigail : that 's what sami says . ej : that is what happened . abigail : well , that happened too , ej . ej : the two things are not connected . come here . look , when samantha shot officer bernardi , she had no idea who he was . all she knew was that a man was standing over rafe , holding a knife . abigail : okay . then where 's the knife ? ej : that 's a very good question . i would like to know the answer to that . somebody is trying to set her up , somebody who would love to get their hands on that piece of ammunition . abigail : well , i did n't make that happen . ej : but you also do not fully understand what is going on . okay ? look , samantha was having an argument . that 's what you saw , is n't it , chad ? chad : yeah , it was typical sami . ej : thank you . look , do n't you think that , if this was some sort of serious fight , he would have said something or -- or done something ? abigail : i do n't know . chad : uh , i thought it was funny . ej : exactly . abigail , hey . what exactly is your theory here , hmm ? you think samantha was so angry with this guy , she held a grudge against him so much so that she followed him and decided the best point that she could off him would be in a hospital room surrounded by security and doctors ? abigail : no , that is not what i said . ej : you do understand how important this is , yes ? chad : completely , yeah . abigail : look , i do n't want to make trouble for sami , but -- ej : do n't make trouble for samantha . you would not be helping anybody , abigail , including officer bernardi 's widow . abigail : okay . i wo n't say anything . i have to go , i 'm late . ej : you know , i appreciate headstrong women . i do , all right ? but this is far too important for us to be indulging your spunky little girlfriend 's flawed perspective . you understand ? chad : yes , yes . ej : take care of her . chad : okay , i got it . will : what 's the matter ? look , i know i had a bad hair day . you do n't have to protect me . sonny : uh , no , no , it 's not that . i just -- i ca n't find the right video . why do n't i get you the real thing ? will : oh , they 're here ? yay . sonny : yeah . here , you sit tight . i 'll be right back , okay ? will : okay , wait , wait . thank you . sonny : oh , it 's just right down the hall . will : no . sonny : it 's not that big a deal . will : i 'm talking about getting your dad to represent my mom . thank you so much . sonny : i 'm just glad i could help . sit tight . i 'll be back in a few . will : okay . love you . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : hey . sonny : hey . meet me at my place right now . it 's urgent . sami : well , now the cops know to look for a razor , right ? instead of a knife . maybe they 'll actually be able to find it . eric : okay , so you think they missed a razor on the first search ? sami : well , it could have been with someone 's personal things or something , you know ? it could have been misplaced . eric : yeah . i guess that 's possible . sami : but ? eric : well , does n't it sound , you know , like , i do n't know , you 're changing your story ? sami : you think i 'm lying ? eric : no , i -- i just think a jury 's going to think you 're lying . kristen : harold ! bring my car around , please ! i need to go see a priest . tonight 's the night , father eric . jj : i , uh , heard you and abs talking about chad dimera . he 's moving in on her , huh ? cameron : i do n't think i 'd put it like that . jj : well , i would . cameron : you would ? jj : look , abigail and i talked a lot when i was in boarding school , so i know all about how chad dumped her , and , well , he 's bad news for my sister , know what i mean ? but i want to let you know that i got your back on this . cameron : okay . uh , thanks . jj : rory , call me back asap , man . i know how to get all the money we need . [ coughing ] cameron : uh , you okay ? jj : could i get some water , please ? cameron : yeah , no problem . here you go . jj : thanks , man . cameron : yeah . no worries . justin : i thought we were through with this . i thought you were okay with sonny and will . adrienne : look , i tried . and , you know what , i did really well . then i started having doubts again . and i tried to suppress -- in fact , i kept it to myself , for the most part . justin : okay . so when did these doubts start ? adrienne : when will almost got sonny killed on smith island . justin : but , honey , that was n't will 's fault . adrienne : but the only reason that sonny was there was because of will 's baby drama . justin : and will was the one who took the bullet . adrienne : this time . and do n't tell me there 's not going to be a next time , 'cause this is chaos , dangerous chaos , and no young person should have to live with that . my god , do n't you see how this relationship with will is dangerous for our little boy ? justin : our little boy is a grown man . he 's making his own choices now , and you ca n't change that , nor can you protect him any longer . now , look , i got ta go . we can talk about this later . but , honey , listen to me . you need to take a step back . okay ? you ca n't dictate sonny 's partners or my clients . sonny : she got very excited when i said it 's time to hang out with dad . will : yeah ? sonny : yeah . will : hi , precious . oh . sonny : listen , i 'm going to go check in at the coffee house . you two okay ? will ? will : what ? sonny : you 're so gone right now . i 'll see you later . will : see you later , see ya . sami : thanks for your vote of confidence . eric : sami , i - i 'm still on your side , sami . sami : unless i 'm wrong or lying or both . eric : no , especially then . i know you protected rafe . i just -- i just know that it would be better for you if it did n't go in front of a jury . sami : well , obviously , no one wants this to go to trial , but if it does , then -- what ? eric : you were under oath when you swore that lucas hit will . sami : oh , come on . that was a million years ago . eric : listen , i 'm not a lawyer , but i know they can still try to bring that up to impeach you . it 's about making you look bad now . it 's about your credibility . sami : well , this is one of those moments where it would be really useful if i were ... eric : no , no , no . sami : perfect , like you . eric : no , do n't , sami . listen , can i -- can i ask you something without ticking you off ? sami : you 've never been able to do it before . ask . eric : when you saw that guy holding the knife , standing over rafe , why did n't you scream for help ? why was it your first instinct to shoot ? kristen : ej , hey . ej : hey . kristen : where 's the fire ? ej : um , i 'm surrounded by flames at the moment . i 'm sorry , samantha 's meeting with her lawyer , i have to -- kristen : it 's only gon na take a second . i just want to say thank you . ej : for ? kristen : you 've been really good to me since my wedding just , you know , disintegrated . you took everything out of the house , did n't you ? all the wedding stuff . ej : i moved a few things around , that 's all . kristen : no , you and chad dismantled everything , so i would n't be upset . you 've been a good brother to me , and i know i 'm not real chatty about it , but i 'm grateful . ej : you 're very welcome . kristen : you 're a good guy , deep down in there somewhere . [ laughs ] anyway , i care about you more than i let on , okay ? ej : kristen -- kristen : what ? good luck with sami . ej : no , no , hold on . darling , i 'm sorry , but why do i get the sense you 're saying good - bye ? this day calls you . jj : [ coughing ] hey , cameron . that report on your patients -- when can i get it ? cameron : uh , after -- after i finish charting . okay . cameron : yeah . jj : who was that ? cameron : this is the residents ' room . about 20 of us doctors share it . jj : oh , no kidding . god , must be like grand central station in here . abigail : cameron , i 'm -- jj , what are you doing here ? jj : um , i 'm just saying hi . abigail : oh . um -- well , i do n't want to interrupt you guys . cameron : no , abigail -- sorry . jj : hey , man . adrienne : hi . will : hi . adrienne : how is that little beauty ? will : oh , she 's pretty good . adrienne : oh , god . looks like she 's grown . will : yeah , i hope so . gabi says she 's a great eater , and , um -- sonny 's not here , by the way . sorry . adrienne : no , really , that 's okay . i , um -- i wanted to talk to you . [ knocking at door ] chad : this is a bad day , sonny . i 'm really squeezed for time , and -- sonny : bet i know why . chad : holy -- how did you get that ? sonny : you sent it to me . chad : that day at the coffee house . damn it . have you shown anyone this ? sonny : of course i have n't . you know what this could do to sami 's case ? chad : yeah , it could help put her in jail for life . sami : eric , i already had that gun in my hand . screaming was n't going to disarm him . for all i know , if i had shouted or freaked out , it might have just made him act faster . eric : it was just quick thinking . sami : i was n't really thinking at all . i just ... had a lot of time to figure it out since then . eric : hey . you know , what you just said was probably true . sami : i do n't know . i do n't know about that . i mean , maybe i should have done something different . maybe i -- eric : sami , do n't second - guess yourself . sami : is n't that exactly what you 're doing right now ? eric : i 'm just trying to understand . i 'm trying to figure out how to defend you . sami : well , you do n't have to do that anymore . i know it 's been your job since we were four , but i have a lawyer , a really good lawyer , okay ? and you have to get to the capitol . for whatever it is you are doing there . eric : it 's just red tape about the school . sami : is there a danger that it might not open ? eric : it 's nothing to worry about , okay ? i do n't want you to even think about it . i want you to just stay out of trouble for the next day or two . sami : well , these bars are going to help with that , huh ? eric : so ... sami : well , by the time you get back , i 'll probably be out . eric : yeah . you better be . sami : okay . eric : listen , you told the police everything , right ? you 're not holding anything back ? sami : [ grunting ] bernardi : you crazy -- sami : oh , you think i 'm crazy ? you wait till you call the cops , see how they feel about this . [ laughs ] eric . of course i did . get out of here . kristen : oh , that 's really nice . i ca n't say something sweet to my brother without you thinking i 'm leaving town ? or better yet , maybe i 'm dying , and in two weeks from now ... ej : okay , okay . kristen : you 're going to go , `` oh , what a poignant moment that was . i love my sister . `` ej : okay , i apologize . thank you for your kind words . kristen : yeah . well , so much for family bonding . what is happening with sami ? i can tell something 's changed since i last saw you . what is it ? ej : a distraction . that 's all . kristen : a distraction ? can i help ? ej : uh , no , i think , finally , everything is under control . you have n't heard from father , have you ? kristen : no , uh - uh . he 's not going to be found unless he wants to be found . ej : do n't give him too much credit . he 's old . he might be losing a step . kristen : ej , not when his life 's on the line . that 's why he 's still alive . that 's why he 's a free man . because he 's careful . he covers his tracks . ej : uh - huh . kristen : he never leaves behind a trace of evidence . ej : uh - huh . kristen : now those are words to live by , hmm ? ej : uh - huh . kristen : do n't forget . ej : uh - huh . what , exactly , is it that you 're really trying to tell me ? kristen : nothing . good luck with sami 's case . ej : kristen , tell me what you 're up to . kristen : nothing . ej : nothing ? kristen : much . ej : ah . kristen : oh , ej , would n't it be wonderful , though , if , very soon , you and i both had something fabulous to celebrate ? ej : mm . will : okay , what 's up ? adrienne : how does it feel to hold her , hold your child ? will : well , um , well , it 's like -- i do n't know . there are not really words , you know ? i just want everything to be okay for her , you know ? like , forever . and , um , when she cries , i feel like crying and do n't want anything bad to happen to her and do n't ever want her to feel sad . but , you know , obviously , i do n't -- i do n't have a lot of control over that . adrienne : no . will : yeah . wish i did . adrienne : i know how you feel . but even though , you know , you do n't have a lot of control , it 's still your responsibility to do your damnedest to protect her . will : yeah . adrienne : yeah . will : that 's how you feel with your kids , hmm ? adrienne : yeah . and actually , that 's why i 'm here . you love sonny , right ? will : yes . adrienne : i know you do . that 's why i 'm asking you -- actually , i 'm begging you . do the right thing and break up with him . chad : look , i thought it was funny at the time . i still would have , if sami had n't ended up shooting the guy . sonny : my dad needs to know about this . chad : now , now , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , no . that 's not -- that 's not your call , okay ? ej knows about this . he 'll decide -- sonny : no , sami 's lawyer needs to know everything that 's out there that can come back and bite them . chad : it wo n't . we 're the only ones who have this . if we both delete it , then there 's no evidence . sonny : what if someone saw sami , and they come forward ? then what ? chad : there was no one else around . okay , and even if there was , it 's just a story . they do n't have enough evidence to back it up . sonny : then why was she going after this guy like that ? chad : ej said something about a misunderstanding . it got settled , no big deal . look , bottom line , i do n't think sami would shoot a guy in cold blood . sonny : neither do i . chad : good . then there 's something you can help me out with . cameron : hey , hey , hey , hey . will you wait up ? do n't just run off like that . just tell me . abigail : no , it 's fine , cameron . i just -- i do n't know , i just -- i like when things are nice and neat , and -- and nothing is gray . jj : what 's up , abs ? abigail : um , nothing , jj . do n't worry about it . i 'm fine . just , um -- i needed a friend to just ... uh -- jj : i 'm -- i 'm going . abigail : okay . jj : um , call me later , or i 'll hunt you down . abigail : thank you , bro . love you . cameron : [ clears throat ] so ... what 's gray ? abigail : i just -- i promised a friend that i would keep this secret , but i do n't know if it 's the right thing to do . and i just have this huge knot in my stomach now , and -- it 's probably not a good sign , is it ? cameron : you know what ? medically speaking , that 's -- that 's your gut telling you it 's a bad idea . abigail : right . cameron : yeah . abigail : god , i knew it . i knew it before the words even came out of my mouth . cameron : abigail , what 's going on ? [ cell phone ringing ] abigail : uh -- it 's not a big deal , cameron . [ cell phone rings ] abigail : um , i have to go , but thank you for your advice , thanks . sami : justin ? justin , thank you . hey , hey , thank you so much for taking my case . it means a lot to me . justin : of course . look , i just got preliminary discovery , so i have n't gone through all the evidence , but i think we have a case . sami : you do ? oh , thank you . thank god . everyone 's been so pessimistic because we could n't find the knife that bernardi used . but actually , i think i know why . my mom hypnotized me to help me remember all the details , and , um , i think it was a razor , not a knife . justin : really ? a razor ? sami : yeah , does n't that make sense , why they could n't find it ? i mean , maybe they put it away . someone put it away in a man 's toiletry bag or , you know , just misplaced it somehow . justin : um , yeah , i do n't know about that , but it 's an interesting choice of weapon . i mean , a knife is already more personal than a gun . a razor is even more so . sami : pretty personal for someone , right ? justin : do you have a theory about that ? sami : look , right now , i 'm just focused on what my brother said , that -- that me changing my story does n't look good for me . justin : yeah . your brother 's right . changing your story does n't look good at all . rory : whoo ! jj : i was afraid i 'd have to cough up a lung to get rid of the guy . rory : whoa , superior haul , man . jj : dude , there were so many samples , they wo n't even notice these are gone . you checking names ? rory : yeah . jj : and behind door number one , we have -- rory : it 's a laxative . jj : whoa , what ? rory : dude . and this one 's for sinus infections , man . jj : damn it . dude , i took a major risk to score these , and one of them better pay off . george : eric brady ? you 're father eric ? my parents live in salem . they go to st. luke 's . the durants . eric : right . you must be george . george : yeah . um , i heard that there was some trouble with the new school . eric : yes , there is . that 's why i 'm here . i have a meeting about it tomorrow . so that 's why i need a quiet room that i can prep in and where i wo n't be disturbed . george : absolutely . will : are you serious ? you want me to break up with sonny ? adrienne : you remember a conversation that you overheard between me and my husband ? will : are you talking about the one where you said sonny was too good for me and that my family and i are so screwed up , so we 're going to end up hurting him ? adrienne : look , i 'm sorry you had to hear that . obviously , it was n't meant for your ears . but no matter how unfair you may have thought it was , deep down , you knew i was right . that 's why you broke up with him . will : yeah , but -- adrienne : please , just let me finish , okay ? please , i just -- will : okay . adrienne : so you broke up with him . and then you thought about it , and you came to terms with who you were , and you convinced him that you two should get back together . will : right , so -- adrienne : right , so you did exactly as i predicted . you lied to him , and you broke his heart . will : um , sonny and i have moved past that . adrienne : oh , yes , yes , so it seemed , so it seemed . and then you got him involved in this whole mess with nick and gabi and almost got him killed . and now your mother has been accused of murder too . will : okay . is that my fault too ? adrienne : no , no . but your whole family , it 's all about the drama . serious drama , sometimes with tragic consequences . so whether you intend it or not , eventually , you are going to destroy my son . ca n't you see that ? chad : you 've got to admit , ej 's got a point . if sami had it out for bernardi , why would she shoot him in the middle of a hospital ? abigail : you 're asking me to explain how sami brady thinks ? really ? i mean -- i do n't know , maybe she thought that protecting rafe was , like , the perfect cover or something . sonny : everybody says that rafe was friends with this guy . and that 's what 's tripping people up . why would sami think it 's a great cover to say that rafe 's friend tried to kill him ? abigail : i do n't know , sonny . okay ? you guys are acting like i 'm the one that 's on trial here . i do n't know . chad : whoa , whoa , nobody -- you 're not on trial . abigail , this is a big deal . abigail : i know . sonny : all right , and i understand if you 're having trouble keeping quiet , but i would not ask you to do this if i was n't sure it was the right thing to do . so please , let it go . sami : is it seriously going to be a problem that i said it was a knife and then changed it to a razor ? i mean , the whole thing happened so quickly . justin : juries like consistent stories . sami : but i am telling the truth , i swear to god . you -- you believe me , do n't you ? justin : i have no reason not to . but , look , sami , i have to ask you , is there anything you have n't told the police about the case ? i 'm gon na give jimmy some honey maid teddy grahams to snack on . will : hmm . no , i - i do n't see how i 'm going to destroy your son . you know , the opposite is true , actually . i 'm doing everything in my power to make him happy , okay ? sonny and i are going to be together . it does not really matter what you think or how you feel . adrienne : do n't get yourself upset . will : well , maybe you should have thought of that before you came in and started telling me what a horrible person i was , okay ? when i get out of here , sonny and i are going to continue to live together . adrienne : and gabi and the baby , yes , i heard . will : oh , great . well , i 'm glad you love the idea . adrienne : what , just another sacrifice my son has to make for you . will : it was his idea . adrienne : of course it was . will : you know what ? i really wish that you could accept sonny and me . i really do . but if you ca n't , you 're going to be the one that takes a step back from sonny 's life . adrienne : i 'm his mother . will : i 'm the one he 's going to spend the rest of his life with , okay ? nothing is going to change that . adrienne : i was really hoping you would save yourself and my son a lot of pain by ending things now . because it will end , will . sooner or later , you will make some mistake , and you will end up breaking my son 's heart . and that will be it . that will be the final straw for my son . ej : justin . awfully sorry to interrupt . sami : no , of course . i was just going to tell justin that i would n't keep anything from the police . i mean , it was my dad and aunt hope and abe that questioned me . i told them everything they needed to know . ej : well , of course you did . justin : now i understand that roman 's been suspended while the case is ongoing . sami : all the more reason to get this resolved as quickly as possible . justin : look , sami , one thing you have in your favor is that juries always look for a motive . now , from what i 've read in your file , they are n't going to find one . abigail : okay , look . i do n't know what 's going on here . i do n't know what 's true , and i do n't know what 's not true . but what i do know , confidently , is that there is a video of sami brady in a serious fight with a man that she ended up shooting , and both of you seem to think that that is irrelevant . chad : yeah . abigail : how is that even possible ? chad : okay , all right . last fall , nicole was living at your house , and -- abigail : whoa , wait . nicole ? what does she have to do with -- chad : because she and your mom fought a lot , right ? people saw them fight . and when nicole fell down the stairs and lost her baby , she accused your mother of pushing her , and all those witnesses said , yeah , they 'd seen your mom and nicole fighting . abigail : my mom did n't push nicole . chad : did n't stop the cops from arresting her . in fact , they had to . abigail : they had to , you 're right . they arrested her , and everything worked out fine in the end . chad : because nicole backed down . what if she had n't ? what if she 'd been dead , like bernardi is , and the only evidence left was what people said they 'd seen ? sonny : your mom could have been sent to prison for something she did not do . chad : you want to make that happen to sami ? george : uh , good evening , ma'am . um , are you sure you 're in the right place ? kristen : [ foreign accent ] i am positive . george : uh , what 's the name again ? kristen : fay taylor . george : ah , i found it . um , you are in room 438 . kristen : no . no , i need room 201 . it 's very important . george : i - i 'm sorry . i 'm afraid that 's not possible . break a leg ! jj : z - a - n. what have we got ? rory : well , you just made some old dude in a bathtub really happy . jj : this blows , man . rory : what , is that it ? jj : no , we 've got one more . oh , jackpot . [ laughs ] adrienne : will , i know you 're upset , but just think about it . you have a chance here to do a really good thing and save a lot of people a lot of pain . but you wo n't , will you ? because you 're as selfish and destructive as your mother . will : whew . she is wrong about your daddy . she has no idea what she 's talking about . abigail : look , i get that there is a risk here . but there 's a risk either way . do you understand that you guys are asking me to cover up evidence in a murder investigation ? chad : it 's not evidence . abigail : chad -- chad : there 's no reason to think it has anything to do with the shooting . sonny : that 's what it looks like if we bring it to the cops . chad : yeah , look , if we delete the videos , then it 's done . abigail : okay , but -- but what if somebody else saw sami with bernardi ? chad : okay , if that happens , then we let justin and ej deal with it . but we 're not going to make sami 's defense any harder than it already is . abigail : sonny -- chad : agreed ? sonny : agreed . abigail : agreed . chad : look , we 're in this together , abigail . now i need you to promise me . abigail : i promise . i 'm with you . chad : okay . let 's do it . justin : okay , here 's the notice . we 'll get heard on bail within an hour . sami : i 'm ready . i 'm ready . justin : good . okay , with any luck , ej will be taking you home very soon . sami : okay . justin : now , sami , you have to be quiet in court , all right ? do not say one word until i tell you to . and then say exactly what i tell you to say . sami : i can do that . ej : okay . sami : come on . ej : i have to make a very quick phone call . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : one sec . ej . ej : hey . you have everything under control ? chad : yeah , we 're good . ej : is abigail with you too ? chad : yeah , it 's settled . ej : okay , now listen . i need you to delete the video . delete it from your phone , delete it from your computer , delete it from your server . just make sure it 's gone . got it ? chad : i 'm on it . ej : okay . thank you . sonny : did ej know i had a copy of the video ? chad : no , but i 'll tell him later . got enough on his plate right now . the important thing is that ej knows that all the videos are gone . it 's over . george : you do n't want that room , anyway . you 'd be next door to a priest . kristen : what has that got to do with me ? george : well , he 's working on a very important project tonight and ca n't be disturbed . he especially asked for quiet . he 'd probably be a pain to have as a neighbor . kristen : i 'll be quiet . george : um , you know , room 438 has a great view of the fountain -- kristen : i want room 201 . it 's the , uh , same room that my husband and i , we had our honeymoon . george : um , will he be -- kristen : he 's dead . my husband is dead , and i need that connection . it 's very important . i need that room . george : i 'm sorry . if i had known in advance -- kristen : you know now . i want that room . you fix it now . eric : can i help here ?Summarize.[/INST]eric visited sami at the police station . he did n't think it was a good idea for her to face a jury . she did n't agree with his advice . he wanted to know why she did n't yell for help instead of shooting . justin and adrienne talked about her feelings towards sonny 's relationship with will . she continued to disapprove of sonny 's relationship with will . justin reminded her that sonny is a grown man and that she ca n't protect him forever . he also told her that she could n't dictate who his clients will be either . jj was at the hospital with cameron . when cameron left the room , jj stole drugs . sonny talked to chad and told him how chad sent him the video of sami fighting bernardi . sami did n't think she had time to call out for help . eric wanted to stay with sami , but she wanted him to go to the capitol . ej and kristen talked about sami . they also talked about whether or not stefano was involved with sami 's situation .</s>

[ scene_break ] erica : yes , of course , this could be another one of david 's ploys . but just what if he 's holding someone else captive , someone i loved very much , someone who is still alive ? bianca : like who ? erica : with my history , it could be any number of people . it could even be your father . bianca : dad ? no . erica : no . travis has been dead a long time , and so that 's exactly why i keep coming back to mike roy . mike and i wrote that book together , and we were very deeply in love . and when i heard about his death , i was very surprised by how it actually affected me , and i could n't imagine a world without him . bianca : i do n't even remember when he died . you never said anything . erica : no . of course , i did n't say anything . it did n't seem right . jack was always very jealous of mike . to say that they were rivals , that is really just not even scratching the surface . what ? bianca : mom , you chose uncle jack . erica : of course , i chose uncle jack because i love jack , but that does n't mean that i would n't be happy to know that mike is still alive . bianca : how does uncle jack feel about that -- or does he even know ? erica : yes . and i 'm sure he 'll come around . bianca : mom , after everything you 've put uncle jack through , everything you 've asked of him , you two are finally in a good place again . and you 'd risk all of that , what , because of david , the least trustworthy person we know ? erica : ok , fine . what would you do ? bianca : i would ignore him and go on living my blissful life . erica : i 'm sorry . i just ca n't do that .

[ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sami : austin , how could you defend the valet ? you do n't even know him , and i 'm your ex ... lots of things . austin : you totally missed the point . sami : well , explain to me your point , because right now , i 'm wondering if maybe it 's not a good idea for me to be eating with you after all . austin : why do you care what the valet or anyone else says ? sami : he totally slammed me . austin : so what ? the only one that can make you feel bad about yourself and what you 've done is you . only children worry about being called names . sami : sticks and stones . austin : sticks and stones . exactly . sami ... when are you gon na grow up and stop being your own worst enemy ? [ scene_break ] hope : i could stay in this bed with you forever . listening to your heartbeat , feeling the waves . i know the boat 's tied off to the dock , but ... it 's like we 're by ourselves in the middle of nowhere . [ chuckles ] like this , i wo n't get dinner made , and i 'm guessing that we both worked up quite an appetite . hey . where are you ? bo : i 'm just ... thinking about what sami did . shawn could have died because of her . i 'm not excusing him going off on that crazy rescue mission with the boys , but , man .. hope : bo , it 's history . the important thing is , is that shawn did come home safe , and so did the others . bo : sami 's done some stupid things in her life , but ... what was she thinking ? hope : she was n't , which is always her problem . bo : yeah . hope : only this time if she somehow manages to avoid jail , i do n't think anyone will ever forgive her again . or trust her , especially roman and lucas . bo : yeah , this is the last thing roman needed . going through that split - up with kate , and whatever the heck is going on with marlena , that 's the last straw . hope : you know , i feel even worse for will . he 's just a kid . and here he is once again having to deal with one of his mother 's messes . bo : speaking of kids and messes , how do you think shawn 's dealing with this belle / philip having - a - baby thing ? hope : not well , bo . bo : i tried to call him when he left the church , but all i got was his voice mail . hope he does n't do something stupid . hope : no , i think he 's finally learned his lesson . bo : mm - hmm . and what about you ? hope : me ? what do you mean ? bo : well , you still think shawn and belle belong together , right ? hope : yes , i do . bo : well , pushing him into pursuing her could only end up bad for everyone , especially shawn . hope : you 're right . bo : uh - huh . hope : i know how much shawn wants to be with belle , how much he belongs with her , but belle and philip have a baby now , and they need to stick together for their daughter 's sake . they have to . bo : you know , this baby 's been coming along for quite some time now . why the sudden change of mind ? hope : well ... it was during sami and lucas ' wedding , before all hell broke loose , that is , i saw philip and belle looking at each other , bo . they really do love each other . it 's so obvious -- both of them . of course , i do n't know if belle loves philip the same way she loves shawn . but she does love him . bo : mm - hmm . hope : and in time with the baby , i -- they 're just gon na keep growing closer and closer . bo : yep . nothing could do that like a child . hope : yeah . you 're right about that . [ scene_break ] chelsea : look , billie , you , me , and bo are never gon na be a family , okay , so let 's just drop it . billie : hey , i 'm not trying to replace the parents who raised you , chelsea , but they 're gone , and bo and i -- we care about you . we love you . we created you and ... you know , i 'm not trying to make you forget the benson 's . i 'm just trying to cook you a hot meal . chelsea : even though you do n't know how . billie : even though i do n't know how . i 'm trying . chelsea : and that 's the problem , billie . you 're always trying too hard to do things for me . to cook me dinner , to make me love you , to make us a family . it 's driving me crazy . billie : well , you do n't seem to have too much of a problem with it when my mother is buying you expensive dresses . chelsea : that 's because i 've never had a grandmother before . i had a mom and dad . and i love them . i do n't want new ones . i want them back . they 're the ones that taught me how to ride a bicycle , who took care of me when i had the chicken pox , who made my favorite cake on my birthday . and it 's not fair that some drunk driver just comes and takes them away from me . billie : no , it 's not . chelsea : and it 's not fair that you and bo brady come around and tell me that they were n't really my parents after all . billie : no , we did n't say that . we never said they were n't your parents . they were . chelsea : just not my birth parents . billie : as hard as that is for you to accept , they were n't . chelsea : if they were still alive , would you still be trying to take me away from them ? billie : no . no , i would hope that we could find some way to share you . chelsea : what ? like some hot - fudge sundae ? billie : no , chelsea , please . i know that i can not replace your mother ... but she 's gone . and i 'm here . is n't something better than nothing ? chelsea : no . it 's not . i hate this , billie . billie : look , okay , i know this is awkward for you . i know it is . it 's awkward for me , too , but i think it 's worth it ... because i ... i think you are worth it . chelsea : maybe you 're not . billie : okay . okay , um ... well , then , if you do n't want me to be your mother , then how about we aim for being friends ? chelsea : i already have friends .

[ scene_break ] mickey : hello , there . maggie : hello . mickey : i just asked pierre to make a special chocolate mousse cake for shawn and mimi . maggie : oh , that 's so thoughtful . and what a romantic surprise . mickey : and i also asked him to make one for us for later because i 've heard that chocolate can be a real aphrodisiac . maggie : yeah . i do n't know about you , but i do n't need any chocolate . mickey : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sami : oh , god . rub it in , why do n't you ?

[ scene_break ] bo : of course billie and chelsea are a lot alike , and things can get a little volatile . but most mothers and daughters are alike . that does n't mean they ca n't find common ground . hope : but this is n't normal mother / daughter friction . chelsea hates billie , and she makes it clear every chance she gets . bo : maybe they need a referee . hope , i have an obligation . hope : the only obligation you have , think about it , is to your daughter . brady , if you put yourself in the middle and chelsea thinks that you 're siding with billie against her , you could lose your daughter forever . is that a chance you 're willing to take ? listen -- oh , gosh , i better get to the bakery before it closes . just think about what 's really important , okay ? and do n't eat that sauce . i love you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : so , you and grandma kate were both really hookers ? i thought sami was just being a jealous bitch , but she was telling the truth ? billie : in a manner of speaking . chelsea : what the hell does that mean ? billie : i told you when i was young , i was on the wild side . chelsea : billie , being a prostitute is a little more than being `` wild . `` billie : yeah , yeah , you 're right . chelsea : and you have the nerve to judge me ? billie : i know what could happen to a lonely , vulnerable girl who thinks she is more sophisticated than she really is . my father got me involved in porno films when i was younger than you are now . and it was n't until i met bo that i actually turned my life around . chelsea : that 's why you said he was your protector . billie : and i 'll always love him for that . chelsea : so , what ? were you and grandma kate , like , in business together ? billie : no , no . chelsea [ sighs ] i was n't even raised by your grandma kate . when lucas was little , she was a single mom struggling to make ends meet . she wanted to give him the kind of life that she was n't able to give austin and me . so she let stefano dimera turn her into a high - priced call girl . chelsea : so i really come from two generations of hookers . billie : hey ! two women who turned their lives around . chelsea : oh , my god . what if sami 's right ? what if it is genetic ? what if i 'm doomed to follow in your footsteps ? billie : that is not gon na happen , okay ? i will not let that happen . you 're gon na break the cycle . chelsea : you ca n't promise that . nobody can . oh , my god . i must be cursed . billie : chelsea . chelsea , no !

[ grunts ] [ scene_break ] austin : all right , you need to just take a deep breath . take a deep breath . are you sure the valet did not know that you were the bride he was talking about ? sami : austin , it does n't matter that he did n't know . how many times has he told that story already ? this whole town feels that same way about me , do n't they ? he just made me feel like garbage . austin : he did , or you just do ?

[ scene_break ] bo : of course billie and chelsea are a lot alike , and things can get a little volatile . but most mothers and daughters are alike . that does n't mean they ca n't find common ground . hope : but this is n't normal mother / daughter friction . chelsea hates billie , and she makes it clear every chance she gets . bo : maybe they need a referee . hope , i have an obligation . hope : the only obligation you have , think about it , is to your daughter . brady , if you put yourself in the middle and chelsea thinks that you 're siding with billie against her , you could lose your daughter forever . is that a chance you 're willing to take ? listen -- oh , gosh , i better get to the bakery before it closes . just think about what 's really important , okay ? and do n't eat that sauce . i love you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : so , you and grandma kate were both really hookers ? i thought sami was just being a jealous bitch , but she was telling the truth ? billie : in a manner of speaking . chelsea : what the hell does that mean ? billie : i told you when i was young , i was on the wild side . chelsea : billie , being a prostitute is a little more than being `` wild . `` billie : yeah , yeah , you 're right . chelsea : and you have the nerve to judge me ? billie : i know what could happen to a lonely , vulnerable girl who thinks she is more sophisticated than she really is . my father got me involved in porno films when i was younger than you are now . and it was n't until i met bo that i actually turned my life around . chelsea : that 's why you said he was your protector . billie : and i 'll always love him for that . chelsea : so , what ? were you and grandma kate , like , in business together ? billie : no , no . chelsea [ sighs ] i was n't even raised by your grandma kate . when lucas was little , she was a single mom struggling to make ends meet . she wanted to give him the kind of life that she was n't able to give austin and me . so she let stefano dimera turn her into a high - priced call girl . chelsea : so i really come from two generations of hookers . billie : hey ! two women who turned their lives around . chelsea : oh , my god . what if sami 's right ? what if it is genetic ? what if i 'm doomed to follow in your footsteps ? billie : that is not gon na happen , okay ? i will not let that happen . you 're gon na break the cycle . chelsea : you ca n't promise that . nobody can . oh , my god . i must be cursed . billie : chelsea . chelsea , no !

[ scene_break ] tracy : you do n't seem all that upset about the hospital . lucy : i am heartbroken , because no one has worked harder for this hospital than me . all the nurses ' balls , all the money that i have raised ... tracy : for charity , unlike the real - estate commission you 're gon na collect when the hospital gets sold for condominiums . lucy : well , someone has to handle that transaction . why should n't it be me ? tracy : oh , i do n't know . loyalty , honor , scruples , ethics ? lucy : no , you are not gon na make me feel guilty for simply facing reality . that 's what i 'm doing . gh is finished . that hospital board is going to vote to sell to the real - estate developers . tracy : are they ? lucy : unless you know something that i do n't .

[ scene_break ] valentin : there appears to be a misunderstanding . dante : hmm . between you and the pd or your new wife ? valentin : i have no desire to press charges . nina : why 's that ? i 'm curious , 'cause anna 's been hounding you relentlessly , and she 's been throwing accusations at you left and right . now she broke the law . valentin : there was no lasting harm done . nina : i disagree . she broke into our house . i do n't like the idea of somebody breaking into our house whenever they feel like it . you may not have a problem with it , but i live there , too , and i have a problem . i want anna devane prosecuted . [ scene_break ] curtis : all right , man . i 'm gon na do this -- i ca n't believe i 'm saying this -- but on one condition . once you 've seen this nasty - ass decayed skeleton , we close it up , and we do n't make no mention of this again . jason : actually , if there 's a body in there , i 'm gon na take a sample for dna testing , so ... curtis : oh , hell no , unh - unh . you on your own on that one , man . jason : that 's fine . now , do you mind helping me out ? let 's get this done . come on . curtis : come on , man . we 're gon na break about a million laws in the process of desecrating a grave , all to prove that a woman who was shot in public 25 years ago , who then later died in a damn hospital , is actually dead . jason : okay , it 's starting to move . curtis : [ sighs ] jason : have you got a handle on yourself ? you got a hand on this lid , please ? curtis : damn . [ inhales deeply ] one , two , three . [ grunts ] [ scene_break ] hayden : we 'll call the hospital and request a leave of absence . you do n't have to disclose the reasons . all you have to say is `` personal issues . `` finn : [ scoffs ] which everybody knows means substance abuse . hayden : what matters is getting you safely off zen - zen . i 'll call a rehab facility and see if they can take you this afternoon . finn : no -- slow down , please . please , just can we slow down . if i go to rehab , does it mean i have to go this very minute ? hayden : so ... tomorrow would be better ? finn : no . 30 days . 30 days from now , all right ? if i have n't quit in that time , which i know i can do , i 'll go to rehab . hayden : okay . if you knew you could quit , would n't you have done it already ? finn : smarty - pants . look how much is going on right now . look how much has been going on ! hayden : that 's not it . you do n't want to quit . you love that high . you 're addicted to it . finn : no . hayden : yeah , you want that feeling more than anything -- certainly more than you want me . finn : hayden , that 's not true . hayden : if you wo n't go to rehab , then i know how this ends . and ... i refuse to watch . finn : hayden . please , do not walk out that door . hayden : you know that you want me to leave , so you can be with your drugs alone , so you can shoot up in peace . finn : you want to hear the words ? i admit it . i 'm an addict . and i lied . i 'm not lying when i say how much i need you . you mean more to me than any drug . you mean more to me than anything in the world . i love you . [ scene_break ] rudge : well , i certainly hope my clumsiness did n't drive you away . laura : oh , no , no , not at all . my daughter was supposed to meet me , and she canceled , which is actually a good thing because i 've got a very important engagement and i , uh ... i really ca n't be late . rudge : ah . oh , but you 've barely even touched your coffee . laura : [ scoffs ] you know what ? now that you mention it , with what i 'm facing , a little bit of extra caffeine might be a good idea . rudge : yeah . laura : [ chuckles ] rudge : well , whatever it is you 're facing , good luck . laura : mm , thank you . i think i 'm gon na need it . bye - bye . rudge : bye - bye . luck wo n't be enough to save you .

phyllis : okay . amanda : it 's okay . i 'm fine . okay ? really . phyllis : all right . amanda : go . phyllis : i want you to lock this door behind me . amanda : okay . phyllis : i do n't hear you locking the door . thank you . we 'll talk later . in america we all count . no matter where we call home , billy : you know i got a right to find out how victoria is . chelsea : you do . you 're right . and , i promise you , i will make sure you 're kept in the loop . but , billy , come on . i mean , you know how they feel about you . you ca n't add to their burden by making demands , especially not right now . it 'll just antagonize them , and then they will look at you as the enemy , and then you 're never going to get what you want . just try to try to take a deep breath and take a step back and let me do this for you . okay ? billy : you know you could write a book on being a newman outsider . chelsea : yeah , well , i mean , they 're barely at the point of tolerating me after i broke things off with nick to get back together with adam , so ... who know ? maybe another decade or two . billy : good luck with that . chelsea : i have to get back , but just try to get some rest . okay ? billy : yeah . thank you . chelsea : and do n't do anything crazy . billy : [ sighs ] adam : well , i ... i wish i knew what to say . victor : times like this , there 's nothing to say , adam . but look around you , you know ? we 're all here . we 're all where we belong . times like this , you realize that ... that is all that matters -- not the money , not the accolades , not the settling of scores . what matters is family . adam : i know that now . you know , it 's taken me some time ... but i finally understand . victor : i appreciate that . [ knocking on door ] amanda : yes ? it 's officer durbin . someone here wants to see you . billy : amanda , it 's -- it 's billy . i , uh , just want to make sure that you 're okay . i know this was a rough night for you , too . look , i -- i just do n't think that you should be alone . if you want me to go away , i understand . billy : thanks . [ door opens ] before nexium 24hr , amanda : thank you , officer . this is all my fault . billy : it 's not your fault . amanda : if i had let rey take ripley to prison , where he belonged , none of -- billy : no , this is on me . amanda , this was on me . this was careless . i should have never gone to that party . if i did n't go to that party , none of this would have happened . amanda : no ! no ! billy : you know that could have been you ? now , you know , that could have been you . amanda : or you ! billy : but it 's victoria , which is so unfair because she 's got nothing to do with this . chelsea : how 's victoria ? anything ? adam : no . no word yet . and thank you for handling billy . chelsea : yeah . victor : how 's she doing ? nate : she 's made it through surgery , but we 'll have to monitor her very carefully . i 'll talk you through the details later . nick : is she awake ? can we see her ? nikki : we 've put her in a medically induced coma for the time being . abby : that sounds extreme . why ? nate : to give her the best possible chance at recovery . elena : but you can sit with her , you can talk to her . nate : but i 'm afraid that , for now , all we can do is wait and hope for the best .

ripley fled after stabbing victoria in a case of mistaken identity . he saw amanda and was startled to see that she was fine . billy gave victoria first aid until paul took over . paul suspected that billy was the one who stabbed victoria . victor also made that accusation . amanda revealed that ripley was the guilty party . nate and elena treated victoria , then she was taken to the hospital . abby asked chance to find the person who did this and make them pay . nick asked kyle to take care of summer , who was upset about victoria getting hurt . victoria was taken to surgery . victor felt that billy was just as responsible for this as ripley was . victor 's temper flared when billy showed up at the hospital . chelsea convinced billy to go before things got worse . adam told victor he finally realized family was all that mattered . victor was touched . victoria had severe lung and liver damage . she made it through surgery , but she was in a medically induced coma to increase the odds in her favor .

nate : i 'm worried she has a punctured lung and tension pneumothorax . summer : what does that mean ? nate : her heart and lungs are forced to operate in a smaller area . heart ca n't pump the way it needs to , lungs ca n't expand as much as they should . elena : we need to get a seal on her wound and get her covered up . paul : let 's talk , the two of us . billy : yeah , yeah . whatever you need . paul : you can start by telling me how the hell this happened . billy : [ scoffs ] hey there people eligible for medicare . additional sponsorship noah : i made you some tea , sharon : oh , you did n't have to do that , but i 'm glad you did . noah : i 'm sorry . i keep on staring . sharon : yep . noah : [ exhales sharply ] is there anything else i can do for you ?

sharon : well , it 's not as much fun as the brochures would have you believe . noah : seriously . sharon : what can i say ? you know ? it sucks . and the anticipation of it was hell , but the reality of it ... it 's not as exciting as watching grass grow . noah : what about the side effects ? sharon : well , they say those will get worse over time , but ... i got through my first round of chemo , i was fine , and then -- bam ! i got hit with nausea and exhaustion and became irritated , but ... nights like that , you know , when that happens , like tonight , i just relax , you know , just take it down a bit and do a little cocooning . but , you know what , i 'm really glad i went tonight . it was very memorable , and mostly because of you . tonight was a lesson for all of us . noah : how do you mean ? sharon : well ... i think it was a reminder . sometimes you 're sitting astride the prettiest horse on the carousel , reaching for that brass ring , and then , other times , you 're standing beside the ride , watching everyone else & spinning , and you realize no matter what fate throws you , the world just keeps twirling . nate : how 's her heart rate ? elena : rising . nate : where the hell is the ambulance ? elena : okay , just hold on . victoria : tell me the truth . i need to know . nate : we 're doing everything we can . i know it hurts , but just keep breathing . victoria : i 'm breathing . nate : okay . paul : okay . you want to tell me why you were here tonight ?

paul : no , you 're not . billy : okay , then i 'd like to get to the hospital , please . paul : hold on . rey : we 're just trying to gather information about the incident while it 's still fresh in your mind . billy : well , i told you a dozen times . victoria said that someone bumped into her . rey : okay , did you see his face ? billy : i did not see his face because i was turned around at that time . rey : okay , then what happened ? billy : she was bleeding . i laid her down on the ground and i called for help . you -- you know who the suspect is , correct ? you know the motive . so if you do n't have any other questions for me , you know where to find me . rey : phyllis , can i have a moment ? phyllis : um , yeah . you okay ? amanda : yeah . mm - hmm . rey : when 's the last time you saw the suspect ? amanda : um , when you brought him to the coffeehouse ... i told him that he 'd better leave town , or i would make his life hell . he said that he would go away . he promised me . rey : yeah , listen . sometimes we trust the wrong people . it does n't mean their actions are our fault . amanda : but if i had only let you -- rey : listen , do you have any idea where he might be , people he might have run to for help ? amanda : no . no , i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't -- i do n't know who that man really is . i did n't -- i did n't know that he was capable of something like this . but when he saw me and he looked in my eyes when he ran past me , i know that he realized that he hurt the wrong person . rey : listen , we have cops all over the street , and we are going to find him . and , when we do , he is going to get what he deserves . okay , um ... do you -- do you need anything else ? rey : no , not tonight . amanda : okay . rey : we know how to get touch with you , and if you think of anything , even the smallest detail , please ... amanda : yeah . rey : you should go home . get some rest . amanda : [ scoffs ] how am i supposed to do that ? rey : well , i 'm gon na post a cop outside your door . someone will be there day and night . amanda : rey , i swear ... if i had known , i would have made sure that he spent time behind bars for violating that restraining order . rey : i know . there 's no way you could have known . these things are unpredictable . but listen to me . this is not your fault . do not blame yourself . none of this is your fault . nick : here , mom . nikki : thank you . abby : it just does n't make any sense . who would do this ? victor : as the last thing i do , i promise you , i 'll find out who is responsible for this , and why ? nick : does n't matter right now , all right ? we just need to concentrate on vick . victor : thank god she is stubborn . nick : she 's going to make it . abby : how much longer do you think ? nikki : it feels like it 's been forever . nick : we have n't heard anything yet . no , they 're , uh , still running tests . yeah i 'll call you if they hear anything . no , katie and johnny are okay . the nanny 's gon na stay the night with them . i will , sweetheart . i love you , too . try and get some sleep . good night . chelsea : if anyone would like some coffee ... nick : thanks . victor : thank you . chelsea : any word yet ?

pal : finding that guy is our top priority . until then , we will post an officer outside her hospital room . nikki : thank you , paul . victor : i will not thank you until you find that son of a bitch . paul : i would n't expect anything less . by the way , paul ... billy boy abbott is much to blame for this as that other fellow , all right ? and i 'm going to get my hands on that bastard . nick : dad , don't . listen , it just -- just let rey and paul deal with this . we got to focus on vick . victor : son , you have your plan , i have mine , all right ?

amanda : i was so naive , phyllis . i mean , i -- i thought he was gon na leave town . i gave him a chance . i trusted him . i trusted myself . i thought i was doing the right thing . i swear to god , if i knew that he was going to be dangerous like this , i would never -- phyllis : listen . shh , shh . i - i understand . i want you to repeat after me . `` it was not my fault . `` repeat after me . it is not your fault , amanda . you did not hurt victoria . amanda : i know that . i ca n't say that ... yet . i will try again tomorrow . i promise . but , um , you know , you should -- just go and find -- go and find nick , okay ?

maybe another decade or two . billy : good luck with that . chelsea : i have to get back , but just try to get some rest . okay ? billy : yeah . thank you . chelsea : and do n't do anything crazy . billy : [ sighs ] adam : well , i ... i wish i knew what to say . victor : times like this , there 's nothing to say , adam . but look around you , you know ? we 're all here . we 're all where we belong . times like this , you realize that ... that is all that matters -- not the money , not the accolades , not the settling of scores . what matters is family . adam : i know that now . you know , it 's taken me some time ... but i finally understand . victor : i appreciate that .

[ door opens ] before nexium 24hr , amanda : thank you , officer . this is all my fault . billy : it 's not your fault . amanda : if i had let rey take ripley to prison , where he belonged , none of -- billy : no , this is on me . amanda , this was on me . this was careless . i should have never gone to that party . if i did n't go to that party , none of this would have happened . amanda : no ! no ! billy : you know that could have been you ? now , you know , that could have been you . amanda : or you ! billy : but it 's victoria , which is so unfair because she 's got nothing to do with this . chelsea : how 's victoria ? anything ? adam : no . no word yet . and thank you for handling billy . chelsea : yeah . victor : how 's she doing ? nate : she 's made it through surgery , but we 'll have to monitor her very carefully . i 'll talk you through the details later . nick : is she awake ? can we see her ? nikki : we 've put her in a medically induced coma for the time being . abby : that sounds extreme . why ? nate : to give her the best possible chance at recovery . elena : but you can sit with her , you can talk to her . nate : but i 'm afraid that , for now , all we can do is wait and hope for the best .Summarize.[/INST]ripley fled after stabbing victoria in a case of mistaken identity . he saw amanda and was startled to see that she was fine . billy gave victoria first aid until paul took over . paul suspected that billy was the one who stabbed victoria . victor also made that accusation . amanda revealed that ripley was the guilty party . nate and elena treated victoria , then she was taken to the hospital . abby asked chance to find the person who did this and make them pay . nick asked kyle to take care of summer , who was upset about victoria getting hurt . victoria was taken to surgery . victor felt that billy was just as responsible for this as ripley was . victor 's temper flared when billy showed up at the hospital . chelsea convinced billy to go before things got worse . adam told victor he finally realized family was all that mattered . victor was touched . victoria had severe lung and liver damage . she made it through surgery , but she was in a medically induced coma to increase the odds in her favor .</s>

paul : what are you doing here ? chris : i had no choice . paul : what do you mean , you had no choice ? chris : why did you spend the night on the beach ? paul : how did you know that , and how did you find me ? chris : andy called . he told me where you were . all your stuff is here . chris : i do n't get it . why are n't you staying with isabella 's family ? paul : i needed some space . you still have n't said why you 're here . chris : i 'm looking for you . paul : ( chuckles ) does your husband know you 're here ? chris : i don'thave a husband . i 'm not getting married . ( doorbell rings ) isabella : mary , what are you doing here ? mary : listen , i know all about paul leaving for california with little ricky , but i 'm here to tell you what i think about you , isabella , and all the trouble you 've caused . so do n't even think about asking me to leave until i 've had my say . isabella : well , i was just about to call you . mary : oh , of course . victory is no fun unless you can gloat . isabella : no , mary , no , i wanted to apologize , to apologize for any pain i might have caused you and to tell you how sorry i am that things are n't better between us . mary : you expect me to believe that ? isabella : i understand why you might doubt my sincerity , but just hear me out , okay ? i want to make you an offer , which will prove i mean what i say , mary . mary : an offer , huh ? well , this i can hardly wait to hear . come on , spit it out . isabella : okay . i would like it very much if you would come and live with us in california . j.t . : let me know if you guys need anything . brittany : j.t . , if this is some kind of sick joke -- j.t . : i 'm being straight with you , brittany . brittany : you saw my dad with billy 's mom ? j.t . : at the lodge . brittany : tell me exactly what happened . j.t . : oh , could we not rehash this again , please ? brittany : damn it , j.t . , tell me . j.t . : all right , fine , fine . like i said , i was sitting at a table with your mom . while we were talking , your dad came downstairs with jill . brittany : are you sure it was her ? j.t . : i 'm positive . raul : hey , maybe they were just meeting at the restaurant . brittany : right , for business . j.t . : they never set foot in the restaurant . it was first thing in the morning , and when they came downstairs from the hotel , they looked pretty friendly . brittany : i ca n't believe this . no , no , j.t . , you 're wrong . you have to be . j.t . : i wish i were . i wish i had n't have seen any of this , but i did , and now i 'm telling you 'cause i do n't want you screaming at me later for not saying anything . brittany : this whole time , i thought it was my mom 's fault . j.t . : what ? brittany : i assumed she was to blame , but now -- well , how did she take it when she saw them together ? j.t . : she , uh ... brittany : why am i even asking ? she must have been furious . did she make a scene ? what did she do ? come on , j.t . , answer me ! what happened ? ! ashley : hey . jack : hey , yourself . you got the good stuff for me ? ashley : right here . pretty cool , if i do say so myself . jack : production estimates on four new products for the tuvia line . ashley : we 've got winners there , jack . we could use top - quality ingredients , take the time to do it right and still be competitive . jack : this is excellent . this is just -- boy , keep up the good work . where 's dad ? is n't he supposed to be here ? ashley : no , i was gon na drop that stuff off to him a little bit later . he wanted to go to lunch . jack : lunch ? what , did he run into an old friend ? ashley : no , but i think he 's lost his mind . jack : what do you mean ? ashley : you heard this whole thing about jill finding out she was adopted , right ? jack : yeah , i did hear about that . is that true ? ashley : oh , yeah . jack : oh , my god . ashley : that 's not the half of it . she went through channels to try to find her birth mother . jack : well , there 's a potential train wreck . she find her ? ashley : uh - huh . she thinks she 's died and gone to heaven . dad thinks the birth mother might be a fraud . jack : well , the plot thickens . has dad told jill this ? ashley : no , because he 's not positive , but he 's hell - bent on finding out the truth about this woman . in fact , even as we speak , he 's assembled the unusual suspects . john : am i talking to myself ? katherine , this is charlotte ramsey . charlotte , this is katherine chancellor . kay : nice to meet you . charlotte : my pleasure . kay : john here has told me all about you . charlotte : oh ? kay : yes . it seems that he used to date your sister . charlotte : not my sister . do n't have one , never did . kay : oh , well . john : now how lelely is that , katherine -- two charlotte ramseys in our little town ? it was a lot smaller then . kay : you 're asking me ? john : well , we knew everyone , did n't we ? kay : well , maybe . no offense , ms . ramsey , but , uh , john here seems to have some agenda going . we were supposed to have a nice , friendly lunch together , and instead , he throws you in my face . all right , john , now you tell me what is gog g on because i am beginning to lose my patience . good afternoon . an edmonton family is in mourning today ... after a mother 's day tragedy at an apartment complex in the city 's west end . a ten - year - old girl drowned in the pool . the incident has raised a lot of questions about pool safety - we 'll have story . does edmonton need more firefighters ? ararass fire that got out of hand on the weekend led to one official saying more manpower is needed . plus , a new campaign reminds you to buckle up when you get behind the wheel . that 's tonight at six . q ? 1 john : now , katherine , i am sorry . i did not mean to upset you . kay : and i do n't me to be rude to your friend . john : well , then let 's just have some lunch together . i mean , we are three old residents of this lovely town . after all , we 're a disappearing breed . i 'm sure we can find something to talk about . kay : i do n't know how well you know john , but , uh , he has never spent much time reliving the past . now , all of a sudden , he is fascinated . charlotte : it comes with getting older , i guess . john : i 'm not talking about reliving anything , just simply remembering old friends that we had in common . kay : well , i do n't know , that seems rather unlikely since charlotte did n't know the ramseys that we knew . charlotte : you knew a charlotte ramsey ? kay : yes . i told john the sad story , and i do n't feel like telling it again . charlotte : well , my family was a happy bunch . i did get into some trouble when i was younger , but john already knows all about that , and , uh , i do n't feel much lilike talking about that . kay : well , seems like we 're running very low on topics for conversation . charlotte : it does indeed . john , i think i 'll be going . john : oh , charlotte , no , please stay . charlotte : i 'll just go back to where you found me and wait . charlotte : it was nice meeting you . ( knock on door ) jill : i 'm so sorry i 'm late . i had a meeting . frederick : no problem . just take a deep breath . jill : oh , you 're so good for me . i 'm glad you called . frederick : you 're welcome . jill : i 'm feeling barraged from all sides ... frederick : yeah , i hear you . jill : and i have been so worried about charlotte and her drinking . frederick : ooh , i take it the problem was n't so little after all . jill : she was at that bar of hers again last night . then this morning , she was in my office tossing back brandy before 9 a.m . frederick : really ? how 'd you handle that ? jill : well , i begged and i pleaded and then i talked tough . did everything i could think of to try to get through to her . frederick : did you ? jill : miracle of miracles , i think i did . frederick : really ? she 's gon na try and quit drinking , huh ? jill : i even got her to hand over that flask of hers . frederick : you 're amazing , you know that ? jill : well , i 'm not kidding myself , but it is a first step . frederick : well , yeah , but it 's a first step that you helped her with , just like i know you 're gon na be there and help her the rest of the way . jill : how do you always know exactly the right thing to say to me ? frederick : ah . jill : you know , um , this time that we share , it 's become very important to me . frederick : it 's important to me , too , but i 'm afraid it may have to end . j.t . : i really think you should talk to your mom about this . brittany : believe me , i will , but i want to know , what did she do when she saw my dad with jill ? did she confront him ? j.t . : no . brittany : i find that hard to believe . j.t . : well , she probably would have , but jill and your dad left right away . brittany : they did n't even see her there ? i ca n't believe what that must have been like for her . j.t . : well , she tried her best to keep it together , but ... brittany : what ? j.t . : she was pretty shaken up . i mean , she 'd just moved out of your house . she thought her marriage was over , and then , all of a sudden , she finds out her husband 's been ... i felt awful for her , but what was i supposed to do ? you know , all i could say was i 'm sorry , and that did n't feel like it was enough . brittany : i bet my dad got an earful when he got back to the office . she was probably waiting there for him . j.t . : actually , she was n't in the mood for a big fight . she wanted to go up to her room , so i walked her up there , and ... brittany : well , that was sweet of you . i 'm sure that meant a lot to her . j.t . : yeah , well , anyway , that 's all i can tell you . you just got ta hope that your parents can work this out . brittany : like that 'll happen . i always knew that my parents did n't have a fairy - tale marriage , but , you know , i really did n't need this kind of proof . raul : hey , maybe we should go home , sweetheart . brittany : no , i 'm okay . raul : i can knock off work a little early . it 's no big deal . brittany : listen , you do n't have to do that , raul . i 'm not gon na go back to theofoft and sit around and cry my eyes out . what good is that gon na do ? what was my dad thinking ? i mean , it 's bad enough that he cheats on my mom , but at the lodge ? that 's , like , her favorite place , and on top of that , it 's with jill . i mean , of a t the women in the world , why does it have to be billy 's mother ? raul : billy obviously does n't know about it . brittany : well , if he did find out about it , he 'd go ballistic , and he has every right to after ... billy : hey , guys . mac : what 's going on ? kay : well , was n't that interesting ? john : i 'm sorry , katherine . kay : as well you should be . what on earth were you thinking , john ? did n't you believe me when i told you that i was not at all interested in reliving that awful , awful time ? john : and if that was the charlotte ramsey you knew , i suppose it would have dug all of that up . kay : well , you suppose correctly . why did you do it ? john : ececause i thought that that charlotte ramsey you once knew might have been a friend of yours at one time , and it would give you an opportunity to rekindle the friendship . kay : that 's a lot of b.s . john : oh , katherine , i think charlotte 's a very interesting person . had we talked awhile , we could have talked about people , places , experiences we had in common . kay : oh , i disagree . i do n't mean to discriminate , but just one look at that woman , and i could see that we had absolutely nothing in common , nothing . john : oh , katherine . kay : she has n't aged veryelell at all . gina : so how are my two favorite people doing ? are you still waiting for number three ? kay : she 's been and gone , and i 'm fine . you know , actually , i , uh , i think i ate too much for breakfast , and i find myself with no appetite whatsoever . so , uh , thank you for inviting me to lunch , john , and the next time , if you 'd be so kind to give me a warning , possibly i could starve myself to death . gina : what ? gina : john , what was all that about ? john : i 'm not sure . jack : the only downside , as i see it , is if dad 's wrong . i mean , if he goes after this ramsey woman , and she has the credentials , jill 's gon na go after his throat . ashley : i know . it 's very sweet of him . he 's trying to protect her , as if she 'd evereturn the favor . jack : well , you know what ? it 's his life . he 's gon na do what he needs to do . ashley : you know , he 's got enough on his plate . he should be able to enjoy his golden years without this woman that he divorced years ago hanging around his neck like a rock . jack : do n't hold back , sis . say what you really feel . ashley : well , that 's how i really feel . thank you very much . jack : you know what i think ? i think this company 's about to head into some white - water rapids the next few weeks . ashley : exactly , which is why we need our key executives to be in a happy , productive and well - rested frame of mind , thank you . jack : if jill is gon na be swindled , both emotionally and financially , she 's gon na be a basket case . are you ready to volunteer to take on her workload if she 's licking her wounds on the side ? i 'm sure not . mary : so you wa m me to move to california with you and paul ? isabella : very much , yes . mary : do i really look that stupid ? isabella : mary , i 'm serious . i want you in our lives , especially ricky 's . mary : why ? he 'll have your parents and all your relatives . isabella : yes , but i was brought up in a culture where being surrounded by a large extended family was considered a wonderful thing . brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins , all part of each other 's lives , and no one more important than grandparents , and that 's the life i want for ricky . mary : why are you so nervous ? isabella : i 'm not . i 'm just on edge a little . everything 's been chaotic , the moving and the packing , and now you 're here filled with anger . mary : oh , come on , isabella , you can do better than that . isabella : what do you mean ? mary : is this some kind of trick , a way of stabbing me in the back just one more time ? isabella : no , i swear to you , this is not a trick , mary . i realized how much pain you 're in . you know , your son and your grandson moving so far away . mary : and overnight , you 've just suddenly turned into this very sensitive person ? i do n't buy it , isabella . isabella : why are you being so stubborn ? it 's not like our history has been all bad . mary : oh , it has n't ? isabella : no , if you recall , we were friends at one time . mary : until you showed your true colors . isabella : people can change , ca n't they ? mary : perhaps , but there 's usually a good reason for that change . so why do n't you just stop trying to con me , and let me know what you 're really up to ? paul : you 're sure about this ? there was never a threat to isabella from her ex - husband ? chris : it was all a hoax . paul : do you mind telling me how you found out about this ? chris : michael told me the night before we were supposed to get married . paul : oh , what , a sudden act of conscience ? chris : he said he could n't marry me carrying aunund this secret . yeah , i know , i know , it blew me away , too . paul : yeah , well , i still do n't think i 'm following this whole thing . chris : that 's because you have n't heard it all . paul : what , there 's more ? chris : why do you think isabella showed up at your office that day ? i 'll tell you why . michael knew you were planning to come see me . he hoped that she would provide enough of a distraction to keep you from making the trip , and it actually work . . repeat . officer down . shooter is not located . jill : frederick , what are you saying ? frederick : we ca n't keep seeing each other , spending time together . it 's just too dangerous , jill . jill : do n't tell me -- anita . frederick : yeah , she 's being totally unreasonable . jill : did you have another fight with her ? frederick : i could n't avoid telling brittany that her mother and i are separated . jill : oh . frederick : anita resented it , and she would n't promise th s she would n't go to brittany and tell her the reason why . jill : oh , as if we 're the reason , our fictitious affair . frederick : i know , i know , but she refuses to listen . jill : your wife is trying to hurt you . she wants a threat to hold over your head , and apparently , she 's succeeding . frederick : jill , i 'm sorry , but if we even give a hint that you and i are involved together , it 'll just give anita the ammunition that she needs . jill : i know , i know . this really floors me , though , because the truth is , anita could have gone to brittany days ago and told her about our supposed affair , and she did n't do that , which got me started thinking maybe she has a mature bone in her body . frederick : anita knows that telling brittany wo n't accomplish anything . she 's just being vindictive . > ilill : this is insane . we did n't do anything . frederick : i know that , and you know that , and anita even knows that , but when she 's through spewing out all of her poison to brittany -- jill : yeah , and brittany goes to billy -- frederick : i know , i know . jill : this ca n't be happening . i mean , my relationship with my son is very rocky right now . we 're barely speaking as it is because he 's so determined to go through with this idiotic wedding , oh , and then mackenzie , when she finds out , she 's gon na get up on her moral high horse and poison my son 's mind against me . frederick : look , maybe it wo n't be as bad as you think . jill : it will . it will be a disaster . i got ta do something . you know , i 've got to deal with this . frederick : jill , jill , panicking is n't gon na help anything . jill : no ? i 'll tell you what will help -- i 'm gon na go to anita . i 'm gon na tell her to keep her mouth shut . raul : well , you guys are sure in a good mood . mac : that 's because we are having one fantastic day . raul : why ? what 's going on ? mac : we booked a place for the wedding . raul : oh , you guys picked a church ? mac : no , we 're getting married at the colonnade room . raul : what happened to the whole `` staying out of debt `` thing ? billy : well , mac 's grandmother 's picking up the tab . mac : she insisted on helping out . billy : and that 's not all she did . show 'em . raul : whoa . get a load of that . j.t . : that is one big rock . mac : my grandpa reynolds gave it to my grandma when they got engaged . raul : it 's pretty impressive . hey , babe , you want to come take a look at this ? brittany : it 's beautiful . congratulations . billy : gee , britt , do n't overdo it on the enthusiasm . brittany : look , i do n't mean to be a drag , but i can not get excited about your big ring and your big wedding right now . i 'm having a terrible day . mac : i 'm sorry to hear that . billy : no need to take it out on us . brittany : if you had any clue what i 'm going through ... billy : what is it ? mac : if you tell us , maybe we can help . raul : hey , um , britt , maybe we should go in the back and talk . brittany : no , i 've got to get out of here . raul : all right , fine , then i 'll go with you . brittany : no , thanks . there 's something i have to do . jack : this is great , ash , just great . ashley : look at page four . john : oh , i 'm glad you 're both here . ashley : hey , sherlock holmes , how did your luncheon trap go ? did you catch yourilillain ? john : very funny . jack , listen -- jack : actually , ash already filled me in . did the two women recognize each other ? john : well , at first , i did n't think so . ashley : but then what ? john : well , here 's the thing . when i introduced katherine to charlotte , you could feel the intensity in the air , and they really looked at each other hard , and then they acted as if they 'd never met . ashley : acted as if ? john : yeah . on the way here , i went over this in my mind , and i am convinced that they knew each other , and well . good afternoon . i 'm andrea engel with a look at what 's coming up on global news at 5 : 30 ... the city of great falls montana says no apology is necessary . that 's even though the city of lethbridge wants to take out an ad , apologizing for the actions of alderman darlene heatherington . we 'll have the latest in the strange case . plus find out why health canada thinks these toys pose a risk to children .. that 's today on global news at 5 : 30 . paul : so baldwin set up everything , even that first meeting with isabella , is that what you 're telling me ? chris : she owed him a favor from a long time ago . paul : she owed him ... an arrangement . chris : paul , they had known each other for years . it was n't an accident . none of what happened was an accident . paul : are you absolutely sure ? chris : i 'm positive . paul : that bastard . chris : it was n't just michael . he did n't do this alone . that 's why i had to find you , paul . i felt you had to know . paul : so that 's just about everything . my whole life now , my marriage , my family , it 's a lie . the whole damn thing is a lie . chris : i 'm sorry . i am so sorry . i know what this is doing to you . isabella : i do n't blame you for being skeptical . mary : i 'd think that you 'd be jumping for joy at the chance to get rid of me . isabella : no , mary , i want to be friends again , and i promise you , my family will welcome you with open arms . mary : how can you even suggest such a thing after all that 's happened ? isabella : because i realize i have a chance to start over with a clean slate . mary : oh , in other words , now that you have everything you want , you can afford to throw me a few crumbs . isabella : and i realize you had valid reasons for objecting to my relationship with your son , reasons that started back that first summer . mary : well , if you 're talking about christine and paul , when they were having problems ... isabella : problems ? mary , their marriage was hanging by a thread . christine was in asia , paul was here . mary : but he was still a married man . isabella : technically , yes , and it 's true . i was n't totally honest with you about my feelings for paul . mary : no , no , you were n't you lied to my face , all the time , living under my roof , accepting my hospitality . now can you blame me for feeling betrayed ? isabella : you feel i took advantage of your son . mary : well , did n't you ? isabella : in a way , i suppose . mary : in a way ? because of you , paul lost any chance of making things right with christine , and now they 're divorced ... isabella : which goes against our faith , and i 'm sorry for that . mary : and now you want me to move in with you ? really , isabella . isabella : why is it so hard for you to believe that i 'm sincere ? mary : because you do n't have a sincere bone in your body . isabella : mary , i 've made mistakes , terrible ones , but for so long , i was terrified of losing paul because christine was still hovering around , reminding him of the past and what he lost . mary : i hope you do n't expect my sympathy , because if it were n't for you , the two of them would probably still be married . isabella : no , i 'm not asking for your sympathy , but what i am asking is for you to find it in your heart to give me a second chance . i have everything i 've ever wanted . i wanted to be a wife and a mother , and i 've never been happier , and now i want to do something for paul and ricky and even for myself . mary : what does that mean ? isabella : you 're a wise woman , mary , a good christian woman , and i want to know that you 're on my side rather than against me . mary : and you think that by asking me to move to california with you , that that 's gon na make everything all right , we 're just gon na suddenly hug and make up ? isabella : i 'm sure it 's gon na take some time , but if you let me , i will spend the rest of my life proving to you that i mean what i say . please , come with us to california . please , say yes . jack : i 'm still not sure i llllow . how do you know that katherine and jill 's birth mother actually know each other ? john : because , as i said , there was an intensity through their first encounter . now at first , oh , i thought it was just two ladies surprised because katherine did not know that i was going to bring anybody to lunch , and charlotte did not know that anybody would be there at the table when we arrived . i thought it could be that . ashley : well , it sounds like it could have been that , dad . john : but at the end , after charlotte left , katherine said something . first she said that they had nothing in common , and then , get this -- she said that charlotte had n't aged well . ashley : what ? john : yeah . why would she say something like that ? jack : could it have just been cattiness ? john : oh , jack . ashley : it does n't sound like that , though , jack . jack : well , listen , katherine 's also a very sharp lady . she would have to know that she 'd given herself away . john : yes , but the moment the words came out of her mouth , gina walked up talking to her and distracted her . i i do not think she realized the slip , or that i overheard it . jack : i do n't know . ash , what do you think ? ashley : i think she slipped . john : and it seems to me they knew each other , or at the very least , that katherine knew charlotte . jack : why would katherine pretend not to know this person ? john : well , think about it . the charlotte ramsey that she knew involved her in a horrible mess -- a pregnancy , a botched abortion , a near - fatal illness . it was a very intense time , and from katherine 's point of view , it was all the result of carelessness and stupidity . ashley : and just because katherine helped her at one time -- jack : does n't necessarily mean she has a soft spot in her heart for her . ashley : mm - hmm . if katherine pretended not to know her , then why would charlotte ramsey say , `` do n't you recognize me `` ? john : which is why i think it 's time for the next step . jack : and what is the next step , tell jill about this ? john : no , no , not yet , no , but i think it 's time that i took the step to find out as much as i can about this charlotte ramsey . billy : what the heck 's goinonon with brittany ? mac : i think i know . raul : you do ? mac : she feels awkward around me because of the whole maid of honor thing . j.t . : what 'd i miss ? billy : mac asked britt to be in the wedding party . j.t . : she turned you down ? mac : she seemed sorry about saying no , but said she couldn't . i do n't really understand it , but i 'm not gon na hold it against her . raul : listen , i talked to her this morning after you left . all right , she really did n't mean to offend you . trust me . there 's no hard feelings . billy : so why 'd she tear out of here just now ? j.t . : uh , you know , i just remembered , there 's something i need to do . can one of you stick around and cover for me ? mac : sure , i 'll stay . billy : yeah , i 'll hang , too . j.t . : all right , thanks . mac : well , we sure know how to clear a room . raul : no , it 's not you guys . billy : i get the feeling there 's something mac and i do n't know here . raul : uh , brittany got some news today , and it just -- it was kind of alolow to her . billy : is she okay ? mac : there was n't , like , a death in her family or -- raul : no , no , it 's nothing like that . it 's , um ... mac : if it 's too personal , you could tell us to mind our own business . raul : yeah , you know what , guys ? i swear , i really -- i ca n't say anything . billy : we understand , but when you talk to brittany , remind her that we 're all supposed to be friends here . she can trust us . raul : yeah , i 'll pass that along . mac : you 're really worried about her . raul : you know , mac , after this whole pregnancy scare thing , i just thought that everything was gon na calm down , our lives would get back to normal , but now something else has come up , and i 'm just afraid of what it 's gon na do to her . jill : no , do n't try to stop me , frederick . frederick : jill , wait , wait , wait , let 's just talk about this first . come on . you go charging out of here trying to confront anita , it 's just gon na make her more determined than ever to tell brittany . you know what she 'll do . she 'll just paint the two of us in the worst possible light . jill : we did nothing wrong . frederick : yeah , well , convince anita of that . jill : so what are you telling me -- there 's nothing we can do here , there 's no way we can fight this ? frederick : all we got to do right now is just calm down in case we have to do some damage control later . jill : without each other 's support . frederick : we 'll get through it . jill : h ? ? this is so unfair . frederick : well , there 's always the telephone , huh ? jill : it 's not the same . frederick : it wo n't be forever . r children to behappy and healthy , isabella : i know i 'm asking a lot , for you to set aside your bitterness and anger . mary : i do n't think i can . isabella : well , does n't `` the lord 's prayer `` tell us to `` forgive us our trespasses , as we forgive those who trespass against us `` ? mary : yes , but , uh -- isabella : and i know you live by those words . i mean , take christine , for example . she -- mary : what about her ? isabella : you had your reservations about the woman , how she wanted to put her career before family , she would n't give paul the child he wanted , and you two managed to put your differences aside , did n't you ? mary : it was n't easy . isabella : and maybethis wo n't be either , but , mary , i 'm willing to do everything in my power to make things right with us . mary : mm - hmm . isabella : please , just come with us to california . mary : you 're really that determined to change ? isabella : yes , i am , and -- ( doorbell rings ) lynne : i need to see you , isabella . isabella : now is not a really good time . mary : lynne ? lynne : mrs. williams , what are you doing here ? have you heard ? mary : about the offer that she 's making ? we were just discussing it . lynne : offer ? what offer ? mary : well , she wants me to move to california with paul . lynne : oh , isabella , you 're good . you really are , but you 're not gon na worm your way out of this . paul : this is like a bad dream . chris : your whole world has changed . paul : i feel so empty . you know , i feel cheated . chris : you have been . paul : god , chris , i sold my business , i 'm supposed to be out here looking for a house ... to start a new life with that woman who loves me so deeply . chris : isabella falling in love with you was never part of their plan . it was like an added bonus . paul : yeah , like ricky ? paul : so what about my little boy , my son ? you know , he did n't ask for any of this . chris : can you ever forgive me ? paul : forgive you ? chris : i felt you had to know , but ... it kills me to see you like this . paul : i had to know the truth , chris . you know , i thought i was building a life that meant something . i was willing to sacrifice everything . chris : yes , you were . paul : so what do i do now ? chris : i do n't know . i do n't have the answers . paul : i guess there 's no turning back . paul : it 's just a lot to sort out . i , uh ... chris : are you gon na be all right ? paul : yeah , i 'm gon na be fine . i 'll be fine . chris : i 'm gon na leave you alone . i 'm really , really sorry ... for both of us . paul : chris ! chris ! paul : do n't go . paul : please , do n't go .

<s>[INST] paul : what are you doing here ? chris : i had no choice . paul : what do you mean , you had no choice ? chris : why did you spend the night on the beach ? paul : how did you know that , and how did you find me ? chris : andy called . he told me where you were . all your stuff is here . chris : i do n't get it . why are n't you staying with isabella 's family ? paul : i needed some space . you still have n't said why you 're here . chris : i 'm looking for you . paul : ( chuckles ) does your husband know you 're here ? chris : i don'thave a husband . i 'm not getting married . ( doorbell rings ) isabella : mary , what are you doing here ? mary : listen , i know all about paul leaving for california with little ricky , but i 'm here to tell you what i think about you , isabella , and all the trouble you 've caused . so do n't even think about asking me to leave until i 've had my say . isabella : well , i was just about to call you . mary : oh , of course . victory is no fun unless you can gloat . isabella : no , mary , no , i wanted to apologize , to apologize for any pain i might have caused you and to tell you how sorry i am that things are n't better between us . mary : you expect me to believe that ? isabella : i understand why you might doubt my sincerity , but just hear me out , okay ? i want to make you an offer , which will prove i mean what i say , mary . mary : an offer , huh ? well , this i can hardly wait to hear . come on , spit it out . isabella : okay . i would like it very much if you would come and live with us in california . j.t . : let me know if you guys need anything . brittany : j.t . , if this is some kind of sick joke -- j.t . : i 'm being straight with you , brittany . brittany : you saw my dad with billy 's mom ? j.t . : at the lodge . brittany : tell me exactly what happened . j.t . : oh , could we not rehash this again , please ? brittany : damn it , j.t . , tell me . j.t . : all right , fine , fine . like i said , i was sitting at a table with your mom . while we were talking , your dad came downstairs with jill . brittany : are you sure it was her ? j.t . : i 'm positive . raul : hey , maybe they were just meeting at the restaurant . brittany : right , for business . j.t . : they never set foot in the restaurant . it was first thing in the morning , and when they came downstairs from the hotel , they looked pretty friendly . brittany : i ca n't believe this . no , no , j.t . , you 're wrong . you have to be . j.t . : i wish i were . i wish i had n't have seen any of this , but i did , and now i 'm telling you 'cause i do n't want you screaming at me later for not saying anything . brittany : this whole time , i thought it was my mom 's fault . j.t . : what ? brittany : i assumed she was to blame , but now -- well , how did she take it when she saw them together ? j.t . : she , uh ... brittany : why am i even asking ? she must have been furious . did she make a scene ? what did she do ? come on , j.t . , answer me ! what happened ? ! ashley : hey . jack : hey , yourself . you got the good stuff for me ? ashley : right here . pretty cool , if i do say so myself . jack : production estimates on four new products for the tuvia line . ashley : we 've got winners there , jack . we could use top - quality ingredients , take the time to do it right and still be competitive . jack : this is excellent . this is just -- boy , keep up the good work . where 's dad ? is n't he supposed to be here ? ashley : no , i was gon na drop that stuff off to him a little bit later . he wanted to go to lunch . jack : lunch ? what , did he run into an old friend ? ashley : no , but i think he 's lost his mind . jack : what do you mean ? ashley : you heard this whole thing about jill finding out she was adopted , right ? jack : yeah , i did hear about that . is that true ? ashley : oh , yeah . jack : oh , my god . ashley : that 's not the half of it . she went through channels to try to find her birth mother . jack : well , there 's a potential train wreck . she find her ? ashley : uh - huh . she thinks she 's died and gone to heaven . dad thinks the birth mother might be a fraud . jack : well , the plot thickens . has dad told jill this ? ashley : no , because he 's not positive , but he 's hell - bent on finding out the truth about this woman . in fact , even as we speak , he 's assembled the unusual suspects . john : am i talking to myself ? katherine , this is charlotte ramsey . charlotte , this is katherine chancellor . kay : nice to meet you . charlotte : my pleasure . kay : john here has told me all about you . charlotte : oh ? kay : yes . it seems that he used to date your sister . charlotte : not my sister . do n't have one , never did . kay : oh , well . john : now how lelely is that , katherine -- two charlotte ramseys in our little town ? it was a lot smaller then . kay : you 're asking me ? john : well , we knew everyone , did n't we ? kay : well , maybe . no offense , ms . ramsey , but , uh , john here seems to have some agenda going . we were supposed to have a nice , friendly lunch together , and instead , he throws you in my face . all right , john , now you tell me what is gog g on because i am beginning to lose my patience . good afternoon . an edmonton family is in mourning today ... after a mother 's day tragedy at an apartment complex in the city 's west end . a ten - year - old girl drowned in the pool . the incident has raised a lot of questions about pool safety - we 'll have story . does edmonton need more firefighters ? ararass fire that got out of hand on the weekend led to one official saying more manpower is needed . plus , a new campaign reminds you to buckle up when you get behind the wheel . that 's tonight at six . q ? 1 john : now , katherine , i am sorry . i did not mean to upset you . kay : and i do n't me to be rude to your friend . john : well , then let 's just have some lunch together . i mean , we are three old residents of this lovely town . after all , we 're a disappearing breed . i 'm sure we can find something to talk about . kay : i do n't know how well you know john , but , uh , he has never spent much time reliving the past . now , all of a sudden , he is fascinated . charlotte : it comes with getting older , i guess . john : i 'm not talking about reliving anything , just simply remembering old friends that we had in common . kay : well , i do n't know , that seems rather unlikely since charlotte did n't know the ramseys that we knew . charlotte : you knew a charlotte ramsey ? kay : yes . i told john the sad story , and i do n't feel like telling it again . charlotte : well , my family was a happy bunch . i did get into some trouble when i was younger , but john already knows all about that , and , uh , i do n't feel much lilike talking about that . kay : well , seems like we 're running very low on topics for conversation . charlotte : it does indeed . john , i think i 'll be going . john : oh , charlotte , no , please stay . charlotte : i 'll just go back to where you found me and wait . charlotte : it was nice meeting you . ( knock on door ) jill : i 'm so sorry i 'm late . i had a meeting . frederick : no problem . just take a deep breath . jill : oh , you 're so good for me . i 'm glad you called . frederick : you 're welcome . jill : i 'm feeling barraged from all sides ... frederick : yeah , i hear you . jill : and i have been so worried about charlotte and her drinking . frederick : ooh , i take it the problem was n't so little after all . jill : she was at that bar of hers again last night . then this morning , she was in my office tossing back brandy before 9 a.m . frederick : really ? how 'd you handle that ? jill : well , i begged and i pleaded and then i talked tough . did everything i could think of to try to get through to her . frederick : did you ? jill : miracle of miracles , i think i did . frederick : really ? she 's gon na try and quit drinking , huh ? jill : i even got her to hand over that flask of hers . frederick : you 're amazing , you know that ? jill : well , i 'm not kidding myself , but it is a first step . frederick : well , yeah , but it 's a first step that you helped her with , just like i know you 're gon na be there and help her the rest of the way . jill : how do you always know exactly the right thing to say to me ? frederick : ah . jill : you know , um , this time that we share , it 's become very important to me . frederick : it 's important to me , too , but i 'm afraid it may have to end . j.t . : i really think you should talk to your mom about this . brittany : believe me , i will , but i want to know , what did she do when she saw my dad with jill ? did she confront him ? j.t . : no . brittany : i find that hard to believe . j.t . : well , she probably would have , but jill and your dad left right away . brittany : they did n't even see her there ? i ca n't believe what that must have been like for her . j.t . : well , she tried her best to keep it together , but ... brittany : what ? j.t . : she was pretty shaken up . i mean , she 'd just moved out of your house . she thought her marriage was over , and then , all of a sudden , she finds out her husband 's been ... i felt awful for her , but what was i supposed to do ? you know , all i could say was i 'm sorry , and that did n't feel like it was enough . brittany : i bet my dad got an earful when he got back to the office . she was probably waiting there for him . j.t . : actually , she was n't in the mood for a big fight . she wanted to go up to her room , so i walked her up there , and ... brittany : well , that was sweet of you . i 'm sure that meant a lot to her . j.t . : yeah , well , anyway , that 's all i can tell you . you just got ta hope that your parents can work this out . brittany : like that 'll happen . i always knew that my parents did n't have a fairy - tale marriage , but , you know , i really did n't need this kind of proof . raul : hey , maybe we should go home , sweetheart . brittany : no , i 'm okay . raul : i can knock off work a little early . it 's no big deal . brittany : listen , you do n't have to do that , raul . i 'm not gon na go back to theofoft and sit around and cry my eyes out . what good is that gon na do ? what was my dad thinking ? i mean , it 's bad enough that he cheats on my mom , but at the lodge ? that 's , like , her favorite place , and on top of that , it 's with jill . i mean , of a t the women in the world , why does it have to be billy 's mother ? raul : billy obviously does n't know about it . brittany : well , if he did find out about it , he 'd go ballistic , and he has every right to after ... billy : hey , guys . mac : what 's going on ? kay : well , was n't that interesting ? john : i 'm sorry , katherine . kay : as well you should be . what on earth were you thinking , john ? did n't you believe me when i told you that i was not at all interested in reliving that awful , awful time ? john : and if that was the charlotte ramsey you knew , i suppose it would have dug all of that up . kay : well , you suppose correctly . why did you do it ? john : ececause i thought that that charlotte ramsey you once knew might have been a friend of yours at one time , and it would give you an opportunity to rekindle the friendship . kay : that 's a lot of b.s . john : oh , katherine , i think charlotte 's a very interesting person . had we talked awhile , we could have talked about people , places , experiences we had in common . kay : oh , i disagree . i do n't mean to discriminate , but just one look at that woman , and i could see that we had absolutely nothing in common , nothing . john : oh , katherine . kay : she has n't aged veryelell at all . gina : so how are my two favorite people doing ? are you still waiting for number three ? kay : she 's been and gone , and i 'm fine . you know , actually , i , uh , i think i ate too much for breakfast , and i find myself with no appetite whatsoever . so , uh , thank you for inviting me to lunch , john , and the next time , if you 'd be so kind to give me a warning , possibly i could starve myself to death . gina : what ? gina : john , what was all that about ? john : i 'm not sure . jack : the only downside , as i see it , is if dad 's wrong . i mean , if he goes after this ramsey woman , and she has the credentials , jill 's gon na go after his throat . ashley : i know . it 's very sweet of him . he 's trying to protect her , as if she 'd evereturn the favor . jack : well , you know what ? it 's his life . he 's gon na do what he needs to do . ashley : you know , he 's got enough on his plate . he should be able to enjoy his golden years without this woman that he divorced years ago hanging around his neck like a rock . jack : do n't hold back , sis . say what you really feel . ashley : well , that 's how i really feel . thank you very much . jack : you know what i think ? i think this company 's about to head into some white - water rapids the next few weeks . ashley : exactly , which is why we need our key executives to be in a happy , productive and well - rested frame of mind , thank you . jack : if jill is gon na be swindled , both emotionally and financially , she 's gon na be a basket case . are you ready to volunteer to take on her workload if she 's licking her wounds on the side ? i 'm sure not . mary : so you wa m me to move to california with you and paul ? isabella : very much , yes . mary : do i really look that stupid ? isabella : mary , i 'm serious . i want you in our lives , especially ricky 's . mary : why ? he 'll have your parents and all your relatives . isabella : yes , but i was brought up in a culture where being surrounded by a large extended family was considered a wonderful thing . brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins , all part of each other 's lives , and no one more important than grandparents , and that 's the life i want for ricky . mary : why are you so nervous ? isabella : i 'm not . i 'm just on edge a little . everything 's been chaotic , the moving and the packing , and now you 're here filled with anger . mary : oh , come on , isabella , you can do better than that . isabella : what do you mean ? mary : is this some kind of trick , a way of stabbing me in the back just one more time ? isabella : no , i swear to you , this is not a trick , mary . i realized how much pain you 're in . you know , your son and your grandson moving so far away . mary : and overnight , you 've just suddenly turned into this very sensitive person ? i do n't buy it , isabella . isabella : why are you being so stubborn ? it 's not like our history has been all bad . mary : oh , it has n't ? isabella : no , if you recall , we were friends at one time . mary : until you showed your true colors . isabella : people can change , ca n't they ? mary : perhaps , but there 's usually a good reason for that change . so why do n't you just stop trying to con me , and let me know what you 're really up to ? paul : you 're sure about this ? there was never a threat to isabella from her ex - husband ? chris : it was all a hoax . paul : do you mind telling me how you found out about this ? chris : michael told me the night before we were supposed to get married . paul : oh , what , a sudden act of conscience ? chris : he said he could n't marry me carrying aunund this secret . yeah , i know , i know , it blew me away , too . paul : yeah , well , i still do n't think i 'm following this whole thing . chris : that 's because you have n't heard it all . paul : what , there 's more ? chris : why do you think isabella showed up at your office that day ? i 'll tell you why . michael knew you were planning to come see me . he hoped that she would provide enough of a distraction to keep you from making the trip , and it actually work . . repeat . officer down . shooter is not located . jill : frederick , what are you saying ? frederick : we ca n't keep seeing each other , spending time together . it 's just too dangerous , jill . jill : do n't tell me -- anita . frederick : yeah , she 's being totally unreasonable . jill : did you have another fight with her ? frederick : i could n't avoid telling brittany that her mother and i are separated . jill : oh . frederick : anita resented it , and she would n't promise th s she would n't go to brittany and tell her the reason why . jill : oh , as if we 're the reason , our fictitious affair . frederick : i know , i know , but she refuses to listen . jill : your wife is trying to hurt you . she wants a threat to hold over your head , and apparently , she 's succeeding . frederick : jill , i 'm sorry , but if we even give a hint that you and i are involved together , it 'll just give anita the ammunition that she needs . jill : i know , i know . this really floors me , though , because the truth is , anita could have gone to brittany days ago and told her about our supposed affair , and she did n't do that , which got me started thinking maybe she has a mature bone in her body . frederick : anita knows that telling brittany wo n't accomplish anything . she 's just being vindictive . > ilill : this is insane . we did n't do anything . frederick : i know that , and you know that , and anita even knows that , but when she 's through spewing out all of her poison to brittany -- jill : yeah , and brittany goes to billy -- frederick : i know , i know . jill : this ca n't be happening . i mean , my relationship with my son is very rocky right now . we 're barely speaking as it is because he 's so determined to go through with this idiotic wedding , oh , and then mackenzie , when she finds out , she 's gon na get up on her moral high horse and poison my son 's mind against me . frederick : look , maybe it wo n't be as bad as you think . jill : it will . it will be a disaster . i got ta do something . you know , i 've got to deal with this . frederick : jill , jill , panicking is n't gon na help anything . jill : no ? i 'll tell you what will help -- i 'm gon na go to anita . i 'm gon na tell her to keep her mouth shut . raul : well , you guys are sure in a good mood . mac : that 's because we are having one fantastic day . raul : why ? what 's going on ? mac : we booked a place for the wedding . raul : oh , you guys picked a church ? mac : no , we 're getting married at the colonnade room . raul : what happened to the whole `` staying out of debt `` thing ? billy : well , mac 's grandmother 's picking up the tab . mac : she insisted on helping out . billy : and that 's not all she did . show 'em . raul : whoa . get a load of that . j.t . : that is one big rock . mac : my grandpa reynolds gave it to my grandma when they got engaged . raul : it 's pretty impressive . hey , babe , you want to come take a look at this ? brittany : it 's beautiful . congratulations . billy : gee , britt , do n't overdo it on the enthusiasm . brittany : look , i do n't mean to be a drag , but i can not get excited about your big ring and your big wedding right now . i 'm having a terrible day . mac : i 'm sorry to hear that . billy : no need to take it out on us . brittany : if you had any clue what i 'm going through ... billy : what is it ? mac : if you tell us , maybe we can help . raul : hey , um , britt , maybe we should go in the back and talk . brittany : no , i 've got to get out of here . raul : all right , fine , then i 'll go with you . brittany : no , thanks . there 's something i have to do . jack : this is great , ash , just great . ashley : look at page four . john : oh , i 'm glad you 're both here . ashley : hey , sherlock holmes , how did your luncheon trap go ? did you catch yourilillain ? john : very funny . jack , listen -- jack : actually , ash already filled me in . did the two women recognize each other ? john : well , at first , i did n't think so . ashley : but then what ? john : well , here 's the thing . when i introduced katherine to charlotte , you could feel the intensity in the air , and they really looked at each other hard , and then they acted as if they 'd never met . ashley : acted as if ? john : yeah . on the way here , i went over this in my mind , and i am convinced that they knew each other , and well . good afternoon . i 'm andrea engel with a look at what 's coming up on global news at 5 : 30 ... the city of great falls montana says no apology is necessary . that 's even though the city of lethbridge wants to take out an ad , apologizing for the actions of alderman darlene heatherington . we 'll have the latest in the strange case . plus find out why health canada thinks these toys pose a risk to children .. that 's today on global news at 5 : 30 . paul : so baldwin set up everything , even that first meeting with isabella , is that what you 're telling me ? chris : she owed him a favor from a long time ago . paul : she owed him ... an arrangement . chris : paul , they had known each other for years . it was n't an accident . none of what happened was an accident . paul : are you absolutely sure ? chris : i 'm positive . paul : that bastard . chris : it was n't just michael . he did n't do this alone . that 's why i had to find you , paul . i felt you had to know . paul : so that 's just about everything . my whole life now , my marriage , my family , it 's a lie . the whole damn thing is a lie . chris : i 'm sorry . i am so sorry . i know what this is doing to you . isabella : i do n't blame you for being skeptical . mary : i 'd think that you 'd be jumping for joy at the chance to get rid of me . isabella : no , mary , i want to be friends again , and i promise you , my family will welcome you with open arms . mary : how can you even suggest such a thing after all that 's happened ? isabella : because i realize i have a chance to start over with a clean slate . mary : oh , in other words , now that you have everything you want , you can afford to throw me a few crumbs . isabella : and i realize you had valid reasons for objecting to my relationship with your son , reasons that started back that first summer . mary : well , if you 're talking about christine and paul , when they were having problems ... isabella : problems ? mary , their marriage was hanging by a thread . christine was in asia , paul was here . mary : but he was still a married man . isabella : technically , yes , and it 's true . i was n't totally honest with you about my feelings for paul . mary : no , no , you were n't you lied to my face , all the time , living under my roof , accepting my hospitality . now can you blame me for feeling betrayed ? isabella : you feel i took advantage of your son . mary : well , did n't you ? isabella : in a way , i suppose . mary : in a way ? because of you , paul lost any chance of making things right with christine , and now they 're divorced ... isabella : which goes against our faith , and i 'm sorry for that . mary : and now you want me to move in with you ? really , isabella . isabella : why is it so hard for you to believe that i 'm sincere ? mary : because you do n't have a sincere bone in your body . isabella : mary , i 've made mistakes , terrible ones , but for so long , i was terrified of losing paul because christine was still hovering around , reminding him of the past and what he lost . mary : i hope you do n't expect my sympathy , because if it were n't for you , the two of them would probably still be married . isabella : no , i 'm not asking for your sympathy , but what i am asking is for you to find it in your heart to give me a second chance . i have everything i 've ever wanted . i wanted to be a wife and a mother , and i 've never been happier , and now i want to do something for paul and ricky and even for myself . mary : what does that mean ? isabella : you 're a wise woman , mary , a good christian woman , and i want to know that you 're on my side rather than against me . mary : and you think that by asking me to move to california with you , that that 's gon na make everything all right , we 're just gon na suddenly hug and make up ? isabella : i 'm sure it 's gon na take some time , but if you let me , i will spend the rest of my life proving to you that i mean what i say . please , come with us to california . please , say yes . jack : i 'm still not sure i llllow . how do you know that katherine and jill 's birth mother actually know each other ? john : because , as i said , there was an intensity through their first encounter . now at first , oh , i thought it was just two ladies surprised because katherine did not know that i was going to bring anybody to lunch , and charlotte did not know that anybody would be there at the table when we arrived . i thought it could be that . ashley : well , it sounds like it could have been that , dad . john : but at the end , after charlotte left , katherine said something . first she said that they had nothing in common , and then , get this -- she said that charlotte had n't aged well . ashley : what ? john : yeah . why would she say something like that ? jack : could it have just been cattiness ? john : oh , jack . ashley : it does n't sound like that , though , jack . jack : well , listen , katherine 's also a very sharp lady . she would have to know that she 'd given herself away . john : yes , but the moment the words came out of her mouth , gina walked up talking to her and distracted her . i i do not think she realized the slip , or that i overheard it . jack : i do n't know . ash , what do you think ? ashley : i think she slipped . john : and it seems to me they knew each other , or at the very least , that katherine knew charlotte . jack : why would katherine pretend not to know this person ? john : well , think about it . the charlotte ramsey that she knew involved her in a horrible mess -- a pregnancy , a botched abortion , a near - fatal illness . it was a very intense time , and from katherine 's point of view , it was all the result of carelessness and stupidity . ashley : and just because katherine helped her at one time -- jack : does n't necessarily mean she has a soft spot in her heart for her . ashley : mm - hmm . if katherine pretended not to know her , then why would charlotte ramsey say , `` do n't you recognize me `` ? john : which is why i think it 's time for the next step . jack : and what is the next step , tell jill about this ? john : no , no , not yet , no , but i think it 's time that i took the step to find out as much as i can about this charlotte ramsey . billy : what the heck 's goinonon with brittany ? mac : i think i know . raul : you do ? mac : she feels awkward around me because of the whole maid of honor thing . j.t . : what 'd i miss ? billy : mac asked britt to be in the wedding party . j.t . : she turned you down ? mac : she seemed sorry about saying no , but said she couldn't . i do n't really understand it , but i 'm not gon na hold it against her . raul : listen , i talked to her this morning after you left . all right , she really did n't mean to offend you . trust me . there 's no hard feelings . billy : so why 'd she tear out of here just now ? j.t . : uh , you know , i just remembered , there 's something i need to do . can one of you stick around and cover for me ? mac : sure , i 'll stay . billy : yeah , i 'll hang , too . j.t . : all right , thanks . mac : well , we sure know how to clear a room . raul : no , it 's not you guys . billy : i get the feeling there 's something mac and i do n't know here . raul : uh , brittany got some news today , and it just -- it was kind of alolow to her . billy : is she okay ? mac : there was n't , like , a death in her family or -- raul : no , no , it 's nothing like that . it 's , um ... mac : if it 's too personal , you could tell us to mind our own business . raul : yeah , you know what , guys ? i swear , i really -- i ca n't say anything . billy : we understand , but when you talk to brittany , remind her that we 're all supposed to be friends here . she can trust us . raul : yeah , i 'll pass that along . mac : you 're really worried about her . raul : you know , mac , after this whole pregnancy scare thing , i just thought that everything was gon na calm down , our lives would get back to normal , but now something else has come up , and i 'm just afraid of what it 's gon na do to her . jill : no , do n't try to stop me , frederick . frederick : jill , wait , wait , wait , let 's just talk about this first . come on . you go charging out of here trying to confront anita , it 's just gon na make her more determined than ever to tell brittany . you know what she 'll do . she 'll just paint the two of us in the worst possible light . jill : we did nothing wrong . frederick : yeah , well , convince anita of that . jill : so what are you telling me -- there 's nothing we can do here , there 's no way we can fight this ? frederick : all we got to do right now is just calm down in case we have to do some damage control later . jill : without each other 's support . frederick : we 'll get through it . jill : h ? ? this is so unfair . frederick : well , there 's always the telephone , huh ? jill : it 's not the same . frederick : it wo n't be forever . r children to behappy and healthy , isabella : i know i 'm asking a lot , for you to set aside your bitterness and anger . mary : i do n't think i can . isabella : well , does n't `` the lord 's prayer `` tell us to `` forgive us our trespasses , as we forgive those who trespass against us `` ? mary : yes , but , uh -- isabella : and i know you live by those words . i mean , take christine , for example . she -- mary : what about her ? isabella : you had your reservations about the woman , how she wanted to put her career before family , she would n't give paul the child he wanted , and you two managed to put your differences aside , did n't you ? mary : it was n't easy . isabella : and maybethis wo n't be either , but , mary , i 'm willing to do everything in my power to make things right with us . mary : mm - hmm . isabella : please , just come with us to california . mary : you 're really that determined to change ?

paul : so what about my little boy , my son ? you know , he did n't ask for any of this . chris : can you ever forgive me ? paul : forgive you ? chris : i felt you had to know , but ... it kills me to see you like this . paul : i had to know the truth , chris . you know , i thought i was building a life that meant something . i was willing to sacrifice everything . chris : yes , you were . paul : so what do i do now ? chris : i do n't know . i do n't have the answers . paul : i guess there 's no turning back . paul : it 's just a lot to sort out . i , uh ... chris : are you gon na be all right ? paul : yeah , i 'm gon na be fine . i 'll be fine . chris : i 'm gon na leave you alone . i 'm really , really sorry ... for both of us . paul : chris ! chris ! paul : do n't go . paul : please , do n't go .Summarize.[/INST]christine finds paul on the beach and let 's him know she is n't married . she tells him what happened with michael and isabella . he is very upset and when christine starts to leave he asks her to stay . isabella is ready to make a phone call when mary arrives all ready to give it to her . isabella tells her that she wants her to move to california with them but mary does n't believe her . isabella says her mistakes are in the past and on and on but then the doorbell rings and there is lynne already to deliver them some news . brittany questions jt about what he and anita saw between jill and fred then billy and mac arrive . mac 's nice diamond and wedding plans do n't get much of a reaction from brittany . raul tries to stand up for her and jt heads out the door . ashley and jack talk business and john , and ashley does n't like to see him wasting so much time on jill . catherine and john confront charlotte at gina 's and the web continues to tangle . charlotte denies knowing about the confusing ramsey connection . catherine says that charlotte has not aged well . jill tells fred she looks forward to their time together and fred says it may have to end in order not to hurt brittany . he is afraid anita will blab which ticks off jill and she wants to tell anita to keep her mouth shut . fred stops her and they kiss just in time for brittany to see them .</s>

[ sonny sighs ] sonny : it never occurred to me that leticia was in -- was in any kind of danger . i mean , i was -- i was so wrapped up in -- in michael and morgan and you , jax , jason , that i -- i was oblivious to her safety . i mean -- leticia never signed on for this . all she did -- and you know this -- was nurture and protect our kids from day one . carly : i know , i know . sonny : what was i thinking , leaving her in that -- carly : sonny -- sonny : leaving her in that house by herself ? if you want to blame anybody -- and i 'm telling you this right now -- you got to blame me , because i am the one that anthony zacchara is after . carly : no , sonny . sonny : i chose this life , and i dragged you all into it . carly : i want you to stop it , okay ? you stop it , because there 's no blame here , i do n't blame you . i do n't blame you . but right now we got to worry about michael and morgan , and i ca n't do that without you . sonny : you got me .

[ door closes ] sonny : yeah . carly : oh -- i have to call jax . you know , i got to tell him what 's going on . if he shows up at our house and the crime scene there , he 's going to freak out . jason : i understand . you 're -- you 're going to have to call him from the jet , okay ? he 's going to have to understand that this is the right thing to do . carly : i know , i know . and i know as long as i 'm with you , i 'm going to be okay . i know that .

[ jacuzzi runs ] [ scene_break ] ric : thank you , officers , i 'll take it from here . jerry : forgive me , i 'm -- i 'm unclear about your laws when it comes to questioning suspects . do n't i have a right to an attorney ? ric : your brother 's nanny was strangled to death this evening . so where were you between 7 : 30 p.m. and 8 : 00 p.m. ? jerry : no , the better question is , where were you ?

emily frets to lucky and liz about why nikolas is acting so out of character , and he is not forthcoming when he arrives , but then , they get word that leticia was found dead . lucky is summoned to the scene . sonny lets kate know how much she has come to matter to him . when skye asks ric about getting lorenzo 's personal effects back , their conversation is cut short by a visit from trevor . jerry grabs sam and orders her to sleep with trevor . jax is unhurt by the car bomb . sonny informs him that he is taking over protecting carly and the boys and sends them to the island . jerry is picked up for questioning in leticia 's murder .

[ scene_break ] kate : i could give you the benefit of the doubt . you did n't plan this -- moving carly and the boys back in just when we had dinner plans . it 's a coincidence . sonny : i asked you to stay . kate : mm - hmm . so -- lucky me -- i get to observe the very special bond that you and carly share , while she torments me endlessly and i have to decide whether to be discreet and ladylike or just deck her . sonny : you are still avoiding my question . kate : you mean , am i jealous of you and carly ?

[ scene_break ] natalie : i 've never met two people who belong together more than bo and nora . [ scene_break ] john : they complete each other . [ scene_break ] natalie : they 've overcome every obstacle that was thrown in their path . [ scene_break ] john : they make each other stronger .

[ matthew pats bo on the back ] bo : ha ha . what 's that for ? matthew : i never thought it could really happen , you and mom getting remarried . there 's nothing i ever wanted more . [ scene_break ] natalie : rox ? ahem . rox ? rox ? roxy : what ? natalie : roxy , um , uh , mom 's gon na stay here to help nora get ready and we 're -- we 're gon na leave . do you want a ride ? roxy : uh , no , thanks .

[ scene_break ] shaun : the commissioner all ready for the big day ? brody : well , it took some doing , but i think we got him there . john : he wo n't be drinking bloody marys anytime soon . [ brody chuckles ] [ scene_break ] david : blair ! blair : oh , god . not you . david : are you all right ? you look horrible . blair : well , i 'm sure nora 's gon na be thrilled to see you , too , david . good god . kelly : david . i want to introduce you to my date -- reed wagner . david : actually , we 've met . [ scene_break ] jessica : excuse me . hey . brody : hey . you look gorgeous . jessica : and a little wet , but considering i knocked on every dentist 's door in llanview today ... brody : dentist ? jessica : you do n't want to know . [ scene_break ] natalie : thank you . john : you look very pretty . natalie : thank you . john : you guys have fun at roxy 's ? natalie : i do n't know if i would call it fun , but there was definitely a lot of excitement . ha ha ha . john : i do n't want to ask . natalie : ha ha . [ scene_break ] gigi : so did bo like his outfit ? rex : oh , yeah . [ scene_break ] matthew : you look awesome , dad . bo : i ca n't believe this thing still fits . mostly . singer : sure like to ball when you 're rockin ' and a rollin ' ca n't hear your momma call [ cheering and applause ] [ scene_break ] nora : i ca n't believe it fits . viki : like a glove . nora : let 's go get me married . viki : [ laughs ] aww . aww . [ scene_break ] gigi : oh , my god . bo : hello . hello . gigi : the coolest groom ever . natalie : you rock in that outfit . bo : thank you , thank you . nora 's not here yet , is she ? jessica : no . she 's with my mom at roxy 's putting on some finishing touches , but she should be here any second . bo : ah , good . whew . [ laughter ] bo : [ sniffs ] oh . [ inhales ] brody , you did good , man . thank you . and all of you guys . i want to thank you . because if it was n't for all of your help , we would n't be getting married today . ohh . has anybody seen andrew ? john : andrew ? bo : yeah . i just wanted to go over a couple of things with him before the ceremony . charlie : i do n't -- i have n't seen him . how about you , brody ? brody : no . bo : well , who was supposed to pick him up ? rex : i think that was me . i could n't go . you were under attack . bo : yeah , but his plane -- his plane was supposed to land , like , an hour ago . did he call ? david : i think i can help out here . i think i know what happened . bo : what ? david : the airport shut down right after my flight landed . i bet andrew was probably re - routed . bo : then who the hell is supposed to marry us ? [ scene_break ] nora : oh , no . viki : nora , what are you looking for ? nora : i 'm looking for my umbrella . i brought it but i think someone took it thinking it was theirs . viki : well , there 's bound to be a spare here somewhere . nora : well , i thought so , too , but i have n't found one anywhere and i ca n't go outside in the rain . i 'll ruin my dress and shoes and hair . oh . viki : ha ha ha . nora : what are you doing ? viki : i do n't think you have to worry . nora : [ gasps ] oh , my word . the rain is gone . viki : happy the bride that the sun shines on . ha ha ha ha . [ scene_break ] bo : after all of this -- rain , wildlife , tomato juice baths , everything but a plague of locusts , now we find out we do n't even have a preacher ! charlie : okay , just do n't ... bo : or a rabbi , either , when you think about it . charlie : i 'm sure we 'll think of something . bo : then what ? how ? my bride will be here in just a couple of minutes and we do n't even have anybody to perform the ceremony . david : how about me ?

right when bo and nora are both ready to call off the wedding , roxy fixes nora 's hair with motivation from natalie . she finds a dentist to fix her tooth . she does not have to wear the patch on her eye and she can walk in her wedding shoes . viki and gigi even find her original wedding dress that she wore to her first wedding to bo . he has a similar victory overcoming obstacles . matthew gets rid of the skunk smell in the church . brody brings a truck load of flowers . and charlie brings bo his wedding tux that he first married nora in . everything is ready to go off without a hitch . except they discover that they do not have reverend carpenter to perform the wedding ceremony .

<s>[INST] bo : you see , you can have a happy ending . but you just have to ask for it . david : uh , in a situation like this , pa , you 're the one who 's supposed to be asking for the happy ending . bo : david ! [ spits ] what a surprise . david : trust me , you 're not half as surprised as i am . [ scene_break ] [ rain falling ] shaun : is everything okay ? kelly : you 've got to stop asking me that . shaun : only doing my job . kelly : you got ta stop saying that . shaun : mm . first of all , dr. lord is the one who signs my checks , so she 's the one who can tell me what i can and can not do . and what i can do is keep you safe . want half a sandwich ? kelly : no . but thank you . shaun : you do n't know what you 're missing , girl . kelly , move . kelly : why ? what 's wrong ? shaun : over there . stay there . [ clattering ] shaun : freeze ! reed : i 'm freezing , actually . rain does give one rather a chill . mind if i come in and dry out ? [ scene_break ] matthew : what are you doing here ? the wedding is n't for a while . dani : well , i know , but -- could you just stop spraying for a second ? matthew : do you really think that 's a good idea ? dani : matthew , i need to talk to you about something . it ca n't wait . why does the whole place smell like skunk ? matthew : one got loose in here . i think it 's gone now . and this stupid stuff was supposed to get rid of the smell but i guess it 's not doing it , huh ? dani : yeah , not so much . matthew : i -- i just do n't know what to do . i 'm gone through like 5 cans already . dani : do n't look at me . we did n't have skunks where i grew up . matthew : great . then i guess i 'm a dead man . so what was it you wanted to tell me ? [ scene_break ] [ natalie exhales ] [ timer goes off ] roxy : it 's time . nora : it 's time . okay . this is good . i 'm done , right ? i 'm done ? am i done ? what are we waiting for ? roxy : i 'm a little nervous , okay ? so sue me . nora : sue you ? that 's not something that you say to a lawyer , especially a lawyer who 's gone under your dryer with green hair . roxy : is that a threat ? huh ? is it a threat ? natalie : no , it 's a joke , okay ? where 's your sense of humor ? nora : probably where mine is . okay , you know what ? listen . come here . let 's just bite the bullet here and do this . do it . roxy : why do n't you do it ? natalie : no , you do it , okay ? look , it 's gon na be gorgeous . nora and i have total faith in you , right ? [ roxy gasps ] natalie : i ca n't -- i ca n't believe it . nora : you ca n't believe what ? what is it that you ca n't believe ? what ? oh , get me a mirror . somebody get me a mirror ! it 's me . it 's actually me ! [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] david : i 've heard of a milk bath , but tomato sauce , that 's a new one . rex : what ? you did n't know the buchanan men do a ritual tomato bath before they get married ? david : why did n't you tell me ? bo : no , he 's kidding . david : oh . i knew that . i knew that . bo : i got sprayed by a skunk . so apparently , tomato sauce , tomato juice is supposed to get rid of the stink . anyway , what brings you back from jolly old england ? david : what , are you kidding ? my pa 's wedding . i thought kevin and joey and cord would join me , but they were n't interested . bo : yeah , well , neither is their father . david : yeah , well , who needs them , right ? i got ta tell you , ever since clint lost nora , he 's been an old fuddy - duddy . bo : mm . david : brought you a wedding gift . bo : are those ... david : cubans ! rex : you know , nigel already gave him some . david : what ? he did ? bo : yeah , yeah . unfortunately , those are against the law , too . they 're just like smoking in a church . rex : well , then i guess it 's a good thing there 's no cops in here . [ bo sniffs ] bo : i 'm sorry , gentlemen , but ... we ca n't break any rules on my wedding day . it 's just -- it 's a bad omen . see what i 'm talking about ? david : i only did it because i thought you deserved the best . bo : well , you do n't have to worry , son , because i am getting the best . nora . david : you can count on me . with pride i look forward to calling her mom . [ bo chuckles ] [ david chuckles ] [ scene_break ] kelly : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , shaun , stop it . stop it . you do n't have to treat him like he 's an intruder . shaun : this is how i treat people who sneak around the back of the house instead of knocking on the front door like everybody else . kelly : okay , for heaven 's sakes , he was not sneaking around . reed : no , kelly , shaun 's right . that 's exactly what i was doing . [ scene_break ] blair : oh , come on in here . i 'm so sorry to make you come out in this flood . eli : you said it was urgent . blair : well , it is , actually . really . i need to ask a favor of you and it is huge . [ scene_break ] dani : i should put this somewhere . i 'm dripping all over the place . would n't be good for the bride to slip in a puddle . matthew : well , if i do n't get rid of this stupid skunk smell , there 's not gon na be a bride . dani : you think they 'd cancel the wedding ? matthew : postpone it , maybe . but that would suck . mom and dad have been living for this day . i just ... i just do n't want to see them disappointed . dani : yeah . well , sometimes people end up getting disappointed no matter what . but you have to face the truth , so that -- john : hey . how you doing ? your dad around ? matthew : uh , yeah . he 's up in the rectory getting ready . john : okay . matthew : wait , wait . can i ask you something ? john : yeah , sure . matthew : do you smell anything different in here ?

[ scene_break ] greenlee : we appreciate your macho protective instinct , but we can take care of ourselves . jonathan 's a freak , not the bogeyman . aidan : the bogeyman -- have you ever met the bogeyman ? because i have , several times , and studied his behavior . it comes across a lot like your brother - in- law -- a man that is very dangerous to women . greenlee : you know something . what ? aidan : i do my research . kendall : yes , which we paid you for , so tell us . aidan : you ca n't have it both ways . i mean , you think jonathan lavery pumped you so full of meds , you almost jumped off of a building . and this is the same guy that you think you can sneak up on with a magnifying glass ? greenlee : we 'll be ok . aidan : well , then here . take it back . you 're on your own . kendall : no . no . a deal 's a deal . no take - backs . aidan : well , then , let me do my job . you think jonathan lavery 's guilty . if he is , i will find it . greenlee : and we 'll help you . aidan : you know , it takes a sick , smart mind to pull off what you say jonathan lavery has . i get to crawl into that dark cave , not you . greenlee : we underestimated him , but he underestimates us now . aidan : the guy already erased his hard drive . you know , any more top - secret investigations from you two , the guy 's going to cover his tracks so deep , you 'll need a backhoe to dig it out . greenlee : ok . but not one word to ryan . kendall : not until we get our money 's worth . aidan : like i told lily , my clients ' privacy is my primary concern . greenlee : i wo n't lose ryan over this . i ca n't . [ scene_break ] ryan : bianca , you know i will do anything for you . bianca : well , then , do this for me now . ryan : you just -- you have n't shown me any proof of anything . bianca : you do n't know what he does to her , what he says to her . ryan : look , they were just here . they threw me a party for my birthday . they brought cake , they ate cake , they held hands . there was no bruise , there was no anger , there was just love . bianca : how much did he love her when he hit her ? ryan : if he had done that , i swear to you i would be the first person to hold him accountable . bianca : i heard him . i heard the way he talks to her when he thinks that nobody 's around and nobody can hear . it is ugly and hateful . i went over there because i needed to talk to maggie , i needed to try to get through to her and show her that there was a way out . and i was about to knock , and i heard him shouting at her -- ryan : bianca -- bianca : no , i did n't go over there to eavesdrop , so do n't look at me like that . the things that he said to her were sick and cruel . ryan : hey , if you had come knocking on the door when kendall and i were having one of our fights , i 'm sure your ears would have bled off from the stuff that we were tossing around . bianca : you do n't know , because you 're not like him . she would n't go to bed with him . and jonathan said that she did n't want him because she 's lying and she 's gay and she wants me . he was manipulating her . but instead of standing up for herself , instead of saying `` shut up or get out , `` she was apologizing to him . he had her begging him to let her prove him wrong . he wanted to break her , and he found a way . ryan : is this about maggie and jonathan or maggie and you ? i 'm just asking . is this about jealousy ? your jealousy ? [ scene_break ] jack : oh , gosh , i know that look , and it never means anything good . erica : what they did to bianca , what they took away from her -- jack : i know , i know . i do . what hayward and krystal did , it was -- erica : and babe . it started with babe , and it will end with babe . jack : and they 'll pay , believe me , but let the law take care of this , erica . erica : the law ? jackson , your faith in the law amazes me . it really does . i mean , you and i have both seen it fail before . the law let michael cambias go free . jack : so you want to leave this in the hands of zach slater ? erica : exactly , because somewhere in that dark hole where his heart should be he cares deeply for his niece and for bianca . and , yes , he is vicious , but that 's good , because he can hurt people in ways they 'll never see coming . i mean , the law -- it 's all well and good , jack , of course it is , but i intend to have plan b in place for david and the bimbo mother and daughter . and that plan b is zach slater . jack : come here . erica : what ? jack : come here . this is not just about babe and her parents , is it ? it 's also about you and you seeing bianca on the ground like that , like a broken doll . erica : they did that to her , jack . it 's as if they pushed her off that balcony themselves . they tortured her mind . they almost broke her spirit . i could have lost her . i could have lost my baby . and when i think of what bianca lost , all that time with her baby and her faith in people -- that is the biggest part of bianca -- you know that -- her faith and her trust . and they just trampled all over it with their selfishness and their lies . jack , how could i possibly let that go unpunished ? jack : and that 's why you want slater right here in pine valley ? erica : i know that you know me way too well to be surprised by that . jack : i 'm not surprised . what i am is working with ethan to destroy slater . [ scene_break ] zach : well , i guess it does n't really matter what kind of a dad i 'm going to try to be , because we 're going to have to try and get past this `` eat dirt and die `` thing . ethan : you 'd follow through ? why ? for show ? you feel guilty ? for fun ? zach : lots of fun so far . it really is . ethan : you really went out of your way to deny me as your son . and now you 're just going to change all that ? zach : what do you care about motives so much ? i mean , life is about what you do . or choose to do . you know , the rest is elevator music . ethan : right . what are you talking about ? woman : excuse me . mr. cambias ? ethan : yes . woman : you have back - to - backs all day tomorrow , starting with an 8 : 30 with mr. reynolds and ending with a 7 : 30 dinner with hylton , gonzales , and hampton . ethan : fine . could you get me a copy of the reynolds prospectus and have all correspondence between cambias industries and hylton , gonzales , etc . , sent to me . also , get accounting to send me their numbers . and -- yeah , can you have a background report done on mr. reynolds ? woman : i 'll have it on your desk before i leave . ethan : wonderful . thank you . that makes you laugh ? me doing my job ? zach : no . i think you wear the crown well . you 've never run anything except your mouth . and now you got this . must be in the dna . [ scene_break ] bianca : this is not about jealousy . ryan : you and maggie were close and are close , and , you know , jonathan comes in the picture . i know you care about maggie . bianca : i love her . and if she found her soul mate , i would be a good enough friend to be happy for her , but this is not a healthy relationship . she 's terrified . ryan : have you talked to her ? have you been in an environment where she can be honest with you ? bianca : yes , but people -- ryan : and what did she say ? did she say anything at all , or did she just say that she loves jonathan and everything 's fine ? look , bianca , i 'm not trying to be a jerk here . but this is -- you know , it 's not easy for me to hear , so i 'm trying to understand exactly what happened . bianca : you do n't know him anymore . ryan : you see , i know jonathan better than anybody possibly could , because i 've seen what he survived . bianca : did you know that he stole my shirt and burned it ? the shirt that i was wearing when i gave birth to miranda ? the shirt that i held against my face as i cried myself to sleep every night ? ryan : what ? bianca : the shirt had dna evidence that could have proven that ethan is a cambias . and jonathan could n't have that , because then you would lose the estate . ryan : but nobody told me -- are you sure about -- you have proof of this ? bianca : he lied about it , and maggie lied for him , but finally , he confessed . the kid brother that you love so much , you have no idea what he 's capable of . ryan : well , that 's horrible . if i had known that -- bianca : it does n't matter now . i do n't care about the shirt , but maggie is in danger . ryan : bianca , you 've jumped from a shirt to a bruise to jonathan being a killer . i mean , there 's just no logic . there has to be an explanation . bianca : there is an explanation . you love your little brother so much that you ca n't see him for who he really is . ryan : or you love your sister so much that you 're starting to believe her smear campaign . i mean , she 's had it in for jonathan since the day that he got to town . bianca : with good reason . ryan : no , you 're starting to see things through kendall 's filter . bianca , i 'm telling you , she 's got a lot to answer for . [ scene_break ] kendall : uh . how much do i need this ? greenlee : lots . kendall : and how dangerous could jonathan be ? greenlee : also lots . aidan 's right . the guy is slick . i mean , doping my coffee , drugging my juice ? oh , it gives me the creeps thinking he invaded my space like that . kendall : yeah , well , what are we supposed to do , just sit back and let big manly aidan take over ? i mean , i 've got to believe that two savvy women like us could find some way to uncover jonathan 's dirty secrets . greenlee : i hate doing nothing . it 's so blah . kendall : yeah , so is this drink . since when is there no vodka in a vodka tonic ? could we have another round , please ? greenlee : i still think we should swing by the pharmacies and scope out jonathan 's drug - buying habits . kendall : yeah , except that every time that you try to break into a computer you get busted . greenlee : me ? you traipse into jonathan 's apartment without checking to see if he 's even there . smooth move . kendall : no , i was not alone on that . hello ? he tricked you into thinking he was n't coming home . greenlee : just when we thought we tricked him . kendall : oh . thank god . thank you . greenlee : thanks . kendall : that sneaky , double - crossing rat . he does n't deserve to live . greenlee : you want to go down for murder again ? kendall : yeah , because it was just so much fun the first time . good times . so , did you check his medicine cabinet ? greenlee : why ? to see if he uses enchantment 's face cream for men ? kendall : no -- to see if he 's on meds , brainiac . i wish we could go back in there and check it out .

[ scene_break ] erica : bianca likes ethan . that 's bad enough . but kendall is falling for him . i mean , i tried to stop it , but kendall is in way too deep . so i have to help my daughters any way i can . and if that includes zach slater , then so be it . jack : now ? now you learn the art of compromise ? erica : i do n't want kendall to be involved with another cambias . she should n't have to live through that again . jack : which is why i want to get slater as far away from this town as i possibly can . look , ever since las vegas , this man has targeted our family , the people we love . he made bianca relive the whole horrible michael cambias experience , and i 'm not so sure he is n't the man responsible for my daughter almost losing her mind and her husband . erica : look , it makes me sick when i think of what zach slater has done . but , yes , i am learning to compromise , and now i see that slater can be of use to me . jack : no , come on , erica , this man is filled with nothing but anger and vengeance . erica : which is exactly what i need right now . i intend to use zach slater to get back at the people who nearly killed bianca . [ scene_break ] ethan : why are you here ? zach : i 'm here to say that i 'm here . ethan : is that supposed to be profound , or are you just stating the obvious ? zach : take it for what it 's worth . ethan : which is what , exactly ? a gesture of goodwill ? an apology ? zach : i 'm here because i 'm your father . and i 'm going to be your father until you decide to kill me . ethan : you 're going to be my father if i do n't kill you first ? that has to be one of the most bizarre things ever said , even in this room . zach : i look at this room and your empire . the power and the legacy -- you got everything you ever wanted . but you do n't get to pick your parents . one of life 's little quirks . ethan : well , look , here you are . dad , dadums , pops , old man -- zach : `` zach `` is fine . ethan : what kind of threat do you think you pose to me ? what kind of father are you going to emulate ? are you going to be like adam chandler ? jack montgomery ? maybe you 're going to take a leaf out of your old daddy 's book , eh ? zach : i thought maybe we 'd start over , do something original . ethan : will you attack my business career , hmm ? you going to try and dethrone me here at cambias industries ? are you going to go after my personal life ? you going to try and attack the relationship between kendall and me ? i do n't know , maybe you 're just going to tousle my hair , pack my lunch box , and send me off to respect my elders . zach : what would you have me do ? ethan : that 's easy . i 'd have you eat dirt and die . [ scene_break ] greenlee : we appreciate your macho protective instinct , but we can take care of ourselves . jonathan 's a freak , not the bogeyman . aidan : the bogeyman -- have you ever met the bogeyman ? because i have , several times , and studied his behavior . it comes across a lot like your brother - in- law -- a man that is very dangerous to women . greenlee : you know something . what ? aidan : i do my research . kendall : yes , which we paid you for , so tell us . aidan : you ca n't have it both ways . i mean , you think jonathan lavery pumped you so full of meds , you almost jumped off of a building . and this is the same guy that you think you can sneak up on with a magnifying glass ? greenlee : we 'll be ok . aidan : well , then here . take it back . you 're on your own . kendall : no . no . a deal 's a deal . no take - backs . aidan : well , then , let me do my job . you think jonathan lavery 's guilty . if he is , i will find it . greenlee : and we 'll help you . aidan : you know , it takes a sick , smart mind to pull off what you say jonathan lavery has . i get to crawl into that dark cave , not you . greenlee : we underestimated him , but he underestimates us now . aidan : the guy already erased his hard drive . you know , any more top - secret investigations from you two , the guy 's going to cover his tracks so deep , you 'll need a backhoe to dig it out . greenlee : ok . but not one word to ryan . kendall : not until we get our money 's worth . aidan : like i told lily , my clients ' privacy is my primary concern . greenlee : i wo n't lose ryan over this . i ca n't . [ scene_break ] ryan : bianca , you know i will do anything for you . bianca : well , then , do this for me now . ryan : you just -- you have n't shown me any proof of anything . bianca : you do n't know what he does to her , what he says to her . ryan : look , they were just here . they threw me a party for my birthday . they brought cake , they ate cake , they held hands . there was no bruise , there was no anger , there was just love . bianca : how much did he love her when he hit her ? ryan : if he had done that , i swear to you i would be the first person to hold him accountable . bianca : i heard him . i heard the way he talks to her when he thinks that nobody 's around and nobody can hear . it is ugly and hateful . i went over there because i needed to talk to maggie , i needed to try to get through to her and show her that there was a way out . and i was about to knock , and i heard him shouting at her -- ryan : bianca -- bianca : no , i did n't go over there to eavesdrop , so do n't look at me like that . the things that he said to her were sick and cruel . ryan : hey , if you had come knocking on the door when kendall and i were having one of our fights , i 'm sure your ears would have bled off from the stuff that we were tossing around . bianca : you do n't know , because you 're not like him . she would n't go to bed with him . and jonathan said that she did n't want him because she 's lying and she 's gay and she wants me . he was manipulating her . but instead of standing up for herself , instead of saying `` shut up or get out , `` she was apologizing to him . he had her begging him to let her prove him wrong . he wanted to break her , and he found a way . ryan : is this about maggie and jonathan or maggie and you ? i 'm just asking . is this about jealousy ? your jealousy ? [ scene_break ] jack : oh , gosh , i know that look , and it never means anything good . erica : what they did to bianca , what they took away from her -- jack : i know , i know . i do . what hayward and krystal did , it was -- erica : and babe . it started with babe , and it will end with babe . jack : and they 'll pay , believe me , but let the law take care of this , erica . erica : the law ? jackson , your faith in the law amazes me . it really does . i mean , you and i have both seen it fail before . the law let michael cambias go free . jack : so you want to leave this in the hands of zach slater ? erica : exactly , because somewhere in that dark hole where his heart should be he cares deeply for his niece and for bianca . and , yes , he is vicious , but that 's good , because he can hurt people in ways they 'll never see coming . i mean , the law -- it 's all well and good , jack , of course it is , but i intend to have plan b in place for david and the bimbo mother and daughter . and that plan b is zach slater . jack : come here . erica : what ? jack : come here . this is not just about babe and her parents , is it ? it 's also about you and you seeing bianca on the ground like that , like a broken doll . erica : they did that to her , jack . it 's as if they pushed her off that balcony themselves . they tortured her mind . they almost broke her spirit . i could have lost her . i could have lost my baby . and when i think of what bianca lost , all that time with her baby and her faith in people -- that is the biggest part of bianca -- you know that -- her faith and her trust . and they just trampled all over it with their selfishness and their lies . jack , how could i possibly let that go unpunished ? jack : and that 's why you want slater right here in pine valley ? erica : i know that you know me way too well to be surprised by that . jack : i 'm not surprised . what i am is working with ethan to destroy slater . [ scene_break ] zach : well , i guess it does n't really matter what kind of a dad i 'm going to try to be , because we 're going to have to try and get past this `` eat dirt and die `` thing . ethan : you 'd follow through ? why ? for show ? you feel guilty ? for fun ? zach : lots of fun so far . it really is . ethan : you really went out of your way to deny me as your son . and now you 're just going to change all that ? zach : what do you care about motives so much ? i mean , life is about what you do . or choose to do . you know , the rest is elevator music . ethan : right . what are you talking about ? woman : excuse me . mr. cambias ? ethan : yes . woman : you have back - to - backs all day tomorrow , starting with an 8 : 30 with mr. reynolds and ending with a 7 : 30 dinner with hylton , gonzales , and hampton . ethan : fine . could you get me a copy of the reynolds prospectus and have all correspondence between cambias industries and hylton , gonzales , etc . , sent to me . also , get accounting to send me their numbers . and -- yeah , can you have a background report done on mr. reynolds ? woman : i 'll have it on your desk before i leave . ethan : wonderful . thank you . that makes you laugh ? me doing my job ? zach : no . i think you wear the crown well . you 've never run anything except your mouth . and now you got this . must be in the dna . [ scene_break ] bianca : this is not about jealousy . ryan : you and maggie were close and are close , and , you know , jonathan comes in the picture . i know you care about maggie . bianca : i love her . and if she found her soul mate , i would be a good enough friend to be happy for her , but this is not a healthy relationship . she 's terrified . ryan : have you talked to her ? have you been in an environment where she can be honest with you ? bianca : yes , but people -- ryan : and what did she say ? did she say anything at all , or did she just say that she loves jonathan and everything 's fine ? look , bianca , i 'm not trying to be a jerk here . but this is -- you know , it 's not easy for me to hear , so i 'm trying to understand exactly what happened . bianca : you do n't know him anymore . ryan : you see , i know jonathan better than anybody possibly could , because i 've seen what he survived . bianca : did you know that he stole my shirt and burned it ? the shirt that i was wearing when i gave birth to miranda ? the shirt that i held against my face as i cried myself to sleep every night ? ryan : what ? bianca : the shirt had dna evidence that could have proven that ethan is a cambias . and jonathan could n't have that , because then you would lose the estate . ryan : but nobody told me -- are you sure about -- you have proof of this ? bianca : he lied about it , and maggie lied for him , but finally , he confessed . the kid brother that you love so much , you have no idea what he 's capable of . ryan : well , that 's horrible . if i had known that -- bianca : it does n't matter now . i do n't care about the shirt , but maggie is in danger . ryan : bianca , you 've jumped from a shirt to a bruise to jonathan being a killer . i mean , there 's just no logic . there has to be an explanation . bianca : there is an explanation . you love your little brother so much that you ca n't see him for who he really is . ryan : or you love your sister so much that you 're starting to believe her smear campaign . i mean , she 's had it in for jonathan since the day that he got to town . bianca : with good reason . ryan : no , you 're starting to see things through kendall 's filter . bianca , i 'm telling you , she 's got a lot to answer for . [ scene_break ] kendall : uh . how much do i need this ? greenlee : lots . kendall : and how dangerous could jonathan be ? greenlee : also lots . aidan 's right . the guy is slick . i mean , doping my coffee , drugging my juice ? oh , it gives me the creeps thinking he invaded my space like that . kendall : yeah , well , what are we supposed to do , just sit back and let big manly aidan take over ? i mean , i 've got to believe that two savvy women like us could find some way to uncover jonathan 's dirty secrets . greenlee : i hate doing nothing . it 's so blah . kendall : yeah , so is this drink . since when is there no vodka in a vodka tonic ? could we have another round , please ? greenlee : i still think we should swing by the pharmacies and scope out jonathan 's drug - buying habits . kendall : yeah , except that every time that you try to break into a computer you get busted . greenlee : me ? you traipse into jonathan 's apartment without checking to see if he 's even there . smooth move . kendall : no , i was not alone on that . hello ? he tricked you into thinking he was n't coming home . greenlee : just when we thought we tricked him . kendall : oh . thank god . thank you . greenlee : thanks . kendall : that sneaky , double - crossing rat . he does n't deserve to live . greenlee : you want to go down for murder again ? kendall : yeah , because it was just so much fun the first time . good times . so , did you check his medicine cabinet ? greenlee : why ? to see if he uses enchantment 's face cream for men ? kendall : no -- to see if he 's on meds , brainiac . i wish we could go back in there and check it out .

todd : why am i here ? johnny : yeah . todd : i 'm looking for carly 's husband . johnny : why ? todd : why ? because he 's jerry jacks ' brother . that 's why . because i want to know everything i can about jerry . i want to know his hobbies , his interests , blonde , brunette , redhead . i want something that i can use for leverage ! something that 'll get him to cough up this antidote ! johnny , if you have any ideas , please share them . johnny : sorry . fresh out . todd : creative guy like you . you know , it 's -- it 's not an amateur move getting a - a mentally unstable woman to -- to -- to admit that she committed all of your crimes . johnny : oh , right . right . this coming from the guy who employed a loon like heather webber . todd : i ca n't wait to see the look on carly 's face when i tell her what you 've done . carly : what did johnny do this time ? mcbain : okay , so what does he want ? alexis : a lot of money . mcbain : define `` a lot . `` alexis : jerry would never ask for just a flat $ 100 million . the number was so odd , i had to write it down . there you go . all right , i 'm going to the hospital . and then i - i want you to come to the house , right , all of us together except for kristina . sam : well , according to her text , she said that she was safely away , whatever that means . alexis : okay , fine . under any other circumstances , i would throttle her . right now , i am very relieved . i 'll see you . and you , i would like to see more of you . for years and years , if i have my way . jax : okay . bye . so , how much did my brother ask for ?

[ indistinct shouting ] sam : did i hear you right that jerry has a lawyer ? mcbain : i thought you knew . your mom 's with him right now . sam : my mother is jerry 's attorney ? mcbain : dante barred her from the cells . she went and got a judge , and she got a court order . sam : w - why ? why would my mother want to be his attorney ? it does n't make any sense . what is she doing ? mcbain : she thinks she can get through to him . jerry : you 're here as my attorney ? alexis : everyone 's entitled to counsel , jerry . even you . jerry : if this is your way of thanking me for saving your life , a simple file in a butter cake would have sufficed . alexis : i do n't bake . you know that . and i ca n't thank you for anything unless you save everybody else . tracy : joseph . what are you doing here ? joe jr. : i brought you something . tracy : really ? the cure ? just kidding . if you had the cure , you 'd be taking it right to the police . joe jr. : i 'm afraid this is the best i could do . todd : come on in , johnny . you know , the -- the thing about being close to death is that it makes life important , you know . you realize what your priorities are . apparently , carly did n't bother to tell you where she was . johnny : how 'd you get in here anyway ? what ? did you jimmy the lock ? todd : carly 's with her daughter . she 's with her husband . johnny : ex - husband . todd : i do n't know about that . i do n't know what you were thinking letting her hang out with the father of her children , billionaire , the man who gave me the best handshake i 've ever had in my life . johnny : i was giving them space . todd : yeah ? maybe you were spending time with jerry jacks . we both know that he had an accomplice , right ? somebody dropped josslyn off at wyndemere . and we both know that you do n't have a problem jeopardizing little girls . jax : so jason was right . ewen and jerry are working together . patrick : when ewen saw jerry broadcast , he panicked . he knocked me over the head with a bat and he took elizabeth . the police are looking for them right now . but with the roadblocks , they 're probably still in the port charles vicinity . jax : okay , so now that we know jerry 's not lying about contaminating the water supply , we ca n't just sit around and wait for him to hand over the counteragent . patrick : which is why i asked you to come here . i 'd like to take a sample of josslyn 's blood . johnny : you really think i 'm running around town contaminating the water supply ? todd : i think you 're capable of it , yeah . johnny : i got no interest in wiping out port charles . todd : no , you just want to wipe out my daughter 's daughter , my daughter 's boyfriend . johnny : you really want to go there right now ? todd : yeah , you know what ? if we 're all gon na die , let 's do that . johnny : okay . todd : let 's go there right now . johnny : all right . just do n't forget that i know your secret , that sam 's baby 's alive and well and living in llanview as your ex - wife 's son . todd : i did that kid a favor getting him out of town , right , keeping him away from jerry 's lunacy , away from this pathogen . johnny : maybe you sold jerry more than just access to your cable franchise . maybe you 're the one that 's working for him . todd : no , i have no history with jerry jacks . when he needed help , where do you think he went ? how much you want to bet the first place that he looked was at a lowlife gangster ? tracy : that is very sweet of you , uh , but the mayor just announced the tap water 's safe to drink again . joe jr. : not that tracy quartermaine drinks tap water . [ chuckles ] tracy : tracy quartermaine takes bubble baths . joe jr. : nice . but i might stay out of the tub in the short term if i were you , no matter what the mayor says . tracy : what difference does it make ? we 've already been exposed . it 's too late . joe jr. : not necessarily . molly : it does help to keep busy . that 's what my mom does when she 's worried . t.j. : shocking . shawn : where is your mom ? at work ? molly : uh , no . she said something about going to see dr. drake at the hospital . shawn : hmm . look , i 've got something i need to do . i need both you guys to keep your eyes on things , okay ? t.j. : all right , well , i 'm not doing the ketchups , okay ? shawn : you make that call yet ? t.j. : when did i have the chance ? shawn : t.j. , get it done . or i will when i get back . molly : what call ? t.j. : to my mother . i mean , but what am i supposed to say ? she sent me here to keep out of trouble . molly : yeah , but now you have to tell her it was a mistake . t.j. : no . [ sighs ] it was the best thing that ever happened to me . alexis : you say that you care about me . jerry : but i do . alexis : then take care of the people that i care about like you did for josslyn and me . jerry : it 's too late , i 'm afraid . the inoculation has to be administered before exposure to the pathogen . i 'm in limited supply . alexis : you mentioned a counteragent . jerry : yes , i did . alexis : jerry , people are starting to get sick . the elderly , people who -- jerry : i ca n't take care of the whole world , alexis . however , i did and will take care of you . alexis : two of my daughters have been exposed . jerry : yes , i know . i know . i 'm sure it must be very distressing to you . alexis : if you cared about me , w - why would you put my -- my children at risk ? jerry : i do care about you , alexis , more than you ever thought . i went through a great deal of trouble to see you again . alexis : i 'm here . just tell me what you want . jerry : i want you to reciprocate . alexis : you want me to care about you ?

[ sighs ] there 's no way dante would give up michael . molly : did n't dante trick you into telling him that michael was hiding at the copa del oro ? morgan : i need you to take me to the courthouse . i need to ask dante to his face why he would give up our brother . [ scene_break ] lulu : i happened to stumble onto michael in dante 's loft . he 'd already confessed . he saved the shirt as evidence . this proves that he wanted to tell the truth . carly : it proves how torn up he is inside . he needed your help . you knew what it would do to michael if the truth came out ! lulu : michael does n't want you and sonny covering for him . he wants to take responsibility for his actions . carly : michael is vulnerable . he 's impulsive . and he does n't understand the long - term implications . you do ! you know what he 's been through . you were there when he woke up from the coma , lulu . lulu : i 'm respecting what michael wants . carly : no , you are trying to rationalize . you 're telling yourself anything to justify you choosing dante over your family . michael needed you , and you threw him under the bus . lulu : yeah , i believe in dante . i 'm on his side . i am not apologizing for that . carly : and you 're a selfish bitch . [ scene_break ] dante : michael will do anything and everything to impress you , but he feels guilty about what he did to claudia . that 's why he needed to confess . sonny : you could have protected him . instead , you turn him in . dante : it explains everything he did -- the drunk driving , the outbursts , the getting in trouble . he was carrying around a lot of guilt . sonny : well , you know why ? because he got shot in the head , put into a coma , when claudia took out a hit on me . dante : yeah . and you certainly did n't help when you destroyed all the evidence . sonny : he saved his mother and his baby sister . he deserved to be protected , dante . dante : he still does . he needs to tell the truth , get some help , and then move on . sonny : you think that 's gon na happen ? dante : yeah , i do , absolutely . i think it 's gon na happen . that 's why i stepped up -- sonny : you did n't step up ! you did n't step up ! you turned him in to the cops ! do n't act like you did a good thing here ! dante : if you were acquitted , michael would see that laws do n't apply to you or him . he 'd want to be a part of the mob more than ever . if you were convicted , michael would feel guilty and blame himself , and he confessed regardless . sonny : i never would have allowed that to happen . dante : it 's not about you , sonny . it 's about michael . he needs to own up to what he did . okay ? he 'll get probation . he 'll get a suspended sentence -- maybe some court - ordered counseling , which is what he desperately needs . sonny : you 're seeing what you want to see and ignoring the reality . dante : no . i want michael to have a good life , as far away from you as possible . [ scene_break ] jax : you said you wanted to take down sonny at any cost . now , you still have the chance . you better start thinking like a lawyer . claire : heh . i 'm gon na pretend not to notice how patronizing that is . believe me , pal , the last thing you want is me thinking like a lawyer . i 'm a fed , remember ? i can slap federal charges on you . i can get you prison time , any kind of fine , not to mention the irs . they really do n't like you corporate- raider types . jax : are you done ? do you think the judge believed carly when she said that sonny killed claudia and that michael was just the witness ? claire : assuming the police can even find michael . if michael 's story matches carly 's , then we might have a chance . dante will be discredited , and the judge might be able to turn over the case back to the jury . jax : okay . well , good . claire : yes . but if michael killed claudia and he confesses to that , then all bets are off . and whatever happens to michael will be up to the judge . [ scene_break ] johnny : you know , it 's all so clear now . dante 's been protecting sonny this entire time . he swore up and down that sonny did n't shoot her . he put off finding michael for as long as humanly possible because he figured that michael could prove that sonny killed claudia . but now that he knows that it was michael , well , he 's selling out his own brother to protect sonny again . olivia : dante hates sonny . johnny : really ? then why is he doing everything he possibly can to keep sonny out of jail ? i mean , am i missing something here ? what is it about sonny corinthos that 's got people lining up down the block to protect him ? he 's a thug . he 's rude . he 's disrespectful . and i know he did n't swing that ax handle , but he is responsible for what happened to claudia . olivia : sonny did n't kill your sister . michael did . dante is a cop . it 's his responsibility to come forward with the truth . that 's how i raised him , and i 'm proud of my son for that . johnny : well , you 're missing one really important element here -- olivia : and what would that be ? johnny : that sooner or later , jason 's gon na try and kill dante for this . [ scene_break ] jason : did you know dante was gon na turn you in ? michael : no . no , he had his chance when he brought me back , and i thought we were going to the pcpd to confess . then he was waiting for the forensics to come back , and then i do n't know . i -- i took off . jason , if dad was found guilty , i was gon na confess . if he got self - defense , i thought it would all be over . jason : okay . it -- it still could . does anybody know that you found michael ? lucky : i ca n't just act like dante did n't tell the court that michael did it . you understand what i 'm saying ? jason : lucky , please . lucky : stop living his life for him ! it 's over ! jason : all you got ta do is turn your head for 30 seconds . lucky : i 'm not doing it . i 'm not doing it this time . you 're coming with me . jason : okay . just ... do n't say anything to anybody . you just wait for diane . [ cell phone rings ] diane : diane . jason : diane , look , just ... do n't react . just go to pcpd . diane : okay . jason : lucky 's bringing michael in right now . just do everything you can to keep that kid quiet . [ scene_break ] olivia : you ca n't just assume that jason can kill my son or anybody else . the guy is n't god . johnny : jason loves michael like he 's one of his own . he feels responsible for anything bad that 's ever happened to that kid . olivia : yeah , well , i know how he feels . johnny : if anything adverse happens to michael from this whole thing , if he suffers at all -- which he will -- jason will go after dante . olivia : [ exhales ] jason 's not gon na kill a cop , johnny . he ca n't risk that . johnny : it 's not gon na be that obvious , olivia . it 'll be in the form of a tire blowout going down a mountain or failed brakes . or maybe dante will leave the house one night for a carton of milk and never come back . that 's why jason is the best at what he does . olivia : and you think this is what my son deserves ? johnny : uhh ... i 'm furious with dante for what he did . he finally had another opportunity to nab sonny and turned his own brother in . but at the same time , i do not want to see anything cause you any pain . so , for your sake , i hope i 'm wrong . olivia : but you do n't think you are . johnny : no . i also do n't think that there 's anything this time that can protect dante -- not even you . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you believe it would be good for your brother to go to jail and be labeled a killer the rest of his life ? you believe that 's better than being under my protection ? dante : your protection has n't done anything for michael so far ! that 's why i turned him in -- to get him away from you . sonny : you 're using your hatred towards me to justify hurting your brother ! i thought you were a better man that that , dante . dante : i do n't care what you think about me . i 'm only concerned about michael and the fact that he deserves a better life , and i 'm gon na see to it that he gets it . [ scene_break ] carly : you knew dante was an undercover cop for months . you stood there , and you watched him manipulate my kids , and you said nothing . do you know what it took me to forgive you for that ? lulu : what did you expect me to do about michael ? carly : call me the second you knew michael was at your place . or how about before , lulu ? lulu : michael is doing this his own way . carly : oh , my god . you do n't know what you 're talking about . michael wants to impress his father . he wants to be in the mob . he thinks if he saves sonny , he 'll somehow prove himself . lulu : maybe , i do n't know , michael wants to do the right thing . carly : you 're naive . you had your chance to save michael , and you did n't take it . i deserve better , and so does michael . lulu : i 'm helping michael . i wish that you could see i 'm not trying to hurt anyone . carly : oh , but you have . you have . and you know what ? whatever happens to michael , just know that you picked your boyfriend over top of your family -- over top of me , lulu , who every time you came to me , and you want to talk about johnny or you want to talk about dante or you want to talk about your mother ... i was there for you . and the one time i need you , you turn your back . you did that , not me . [ lulu sniffling ] [ scene_break ] claire : i ca n't believe your arrogance . did you really think you could frame sonny for a murder that michael committed ? did you think no one would notice and that michael would be quiet and let his father go to prison ? jax : well , that 's why i told you not to go after michael . if you would have listened to me -- claire : no , i do n't have to listen to you . i do n't take orders from you . you gave me a case that was false . so , do n't blame me because it blew up in your face . jax : and then you sent dante to go out and find michael -- which , again , if you would n't have done that , we would n't be in this -- claire : you could have told me the truth at any time ! but because you chose not to , i 'm partially responsible for a brain - damaged kid being arrested for murder ? i am sick about this . do you think i wanted this ? this whole situation is so wrong , and it could have been avoided if you were honest . jax : you want me to be honest ? michael is n't the criminal here . sonny is . and if he walks , everybody loses . so , you better find a way to turn this around , because people 's lives depend on it ... not to mention that career that you 're so fond of .

[ scene_break ] dante : michael will do anything and everything to impress you , but he feels guilty about what he did to claudia . that 's why he needed to confess . sonny : you could have protected him . instead , you turn him in . dante : it explains everything he did -- the drunk driving , the outbursts , the getting in trouble . he was carrying around a lot of guilt . sonny : well , you know why ? because he got shot in the head , put into a coma , when claudia took out a hit on me . dante : yeah . and you certainly did n't help when you destroyed all the evidence . sonny : he saved his mother and his baby sister . he deserved to be protected , dante . dante : he still does . he needs to tell the truth , get some help , and then move on . sonny : you think that 's gon na happen ? dante : yeah , i do , absolutely . i think it 's gon na happen . that 's why i stepped up -- sonny : you did n't step up ! you did n't step up ! you turned him in to the cops ! do n't act like you did a good thing here ! dante : if you were acquitted , michael would see that laws do n't apply to you or him . he 'd want to be a part of the mob more than ever . if you were convicted , michael would feel guilty and blame himself , and he confessed regardless . sonny : i never would have allowed that to happen . dante : it 's not about you , sonny . it 's about michael . he needs to own up to what he did . okay ? he 'll get probation . he 'll get a suspended sentence -- maybe some court - ordered counseling , which is what he desperately needs . sonny : you 're seeing what you want to see and ignoring the reality . dante : no . i want michael to have a good life , as far away from you as possible .

[ scene_break ] johnny : you know , it 's all so clear now . dante 's been protecting sonny this entire time . he swore up and down that sonny did n't shoot her . he put off finding michael for as long as humanly possible because he figured that michael could prove that sonny killed claudia . but now that he knows that it was michael , well , he 's selling out his own brother to protect sonny again . olivia : dante hates sonny . johnny : really ? then why is he doing everything he possibly can to keep sonny out of jail ? i mean , am i missing something here ? what is it about sonny corinthos that 's got people lining up down the block to protect him ? he 's a thug . he 's rude . he 's disrespectful . and i know he did n't swing that ax handle , but he is responsible for what happened to claudia . olivia : sonny did n't kill your sister . michael did . dante is a cop . it 's his responsibility to come forward with the truth . that 's how i raised him , and i 'm proud of my son for that . johnny : well , you 're missing one really important element here -- olivia : and what would that be ? johnny : that sooner or later , jason 's gon na try and kill dante for this .

[ scene_break ] sonny : so , you believe it would be good for your brother to go to jail and be labeled a killer the rest of his life ? you believe that 's better than being under my protection ? dante : your protection has n't done anything for michael so far ! that 's why i turned him in -- to get him away from you . sonny : you 're using your hatred towards me to justify hurting your brother ! i thought you were a better man that that , dante . dante : i do n't care what you think about me . i 'm only concerned about michael and the fact that he deserves a better life , and i 'm gon na see to it that he gets it . [ scene_break ] carly : you knew dante was an undercover cop for months . you stood there , and you watched him manipulate my kids , and you said nothing . do you know what it took me to forgive you for that ? lulu : what did you expect me to do about michael ? carly : call me the second you knew michael was at your place . or how about before , lulu ? lulu : michael is doing this his own way . carly : oh , my god . you do n't know what you 're talking about . michael wants to impress his father . he wants to be in the mob . he thinks if he saves sonny , he 'll somehow prove himself . lulu : maybe , i do n't know , michael wants to do the right thing . carly : you 're naive . you had your chance to save michael , and you did n't take it . i deserve better , and so does michael . lulu : i 'm helping michael . i wish that you could see i 'm not trying to hurt anyone . carly : oh , but you have . you have . and you know what ? whatever happens to michael , just know that you picked your boyfriend over top of your family -- over top of me , lulu , who every time you came to me , and you want to talk about johnny or you want to talk about dante or you want to talk about your mother ... i was there for you . and the one time i need you , you turn your back . you did that , not me . [ lulu sniffling ] [ scene_break ] claire : i ca n't believe your arrogance . did you really think you could frame sonny for a murder that michael committed ? did you think no one would notice and that michael would be quiet and let his father go to prison ? jax : well , that 's why i told you not to go after michael . if you would have listened to me -- claire : no , i do n't have to listen to you . i do n't take orders from you . you gave me a case that was false . so , do n't blame me because it blew up in your face . jax : and then you sent dante to go out and find michael -- which , again , if you would n't have done that , we would n't be in this -- claire : you could have told me the truth at any time ! but because you chose not to , i 'm partially responsible for a brain - damaged kid being arrested for murder ? i am sick about this . do you think i wanted this ? this whole situation is so wrong , and it could have been avoided if you were honest . jax : you want me to be honest ? michael is n't the criminal here . sonny is . and if he walks , everybody loses . so , you better find a way to turn this around , because people 's lives depend on it ... not to mention that career that you 're so fond of .

hope surprises her mother that she will not believe what just happened . she holds out her ring finger and brooke is elated but confused when told liam did not put that ring on her finger , but steffy did . liam tells steffy that was quite a gesture . she says it was time . he laments that she told hope she could marry liam but that is something he should be doing . that decision was his . zoe can not thank thorne and xander enough . emma overhears and is not happy . she questions thorne about it and says he can not do that . he says zoe was not supposed to be at the show but she saved the entire show and she should not have a problem with that . emma says she is xander 's ex- girlfriend so that will be a problem . thorne says this is only business so she will have to put her personal feelings aside . zoe tells xander this is a perfect opportunity for her so she can not leave l.a now . hope can not believe this happened with no arguments or fighting . everything has fallen in place . brooke says she understands but it is still liam 's decision to make , not steffy 's . liam tells steffy that still was not her call . she says she is kelly 's mother and she needs to give her a healthy , stable life . she 's had enough tears and she is over it and done . guess she just needed to hit rock bottom and realize she is stronger than that , so it does not have to be this complicated so he can go be with hope . she knows she made a huge mistake and she tried to apologize and fix it . hope wants him whether he proposed now or not and she will not wait forever . women today make their own decisions so he better accept that .

[ gasps ] oh , honey ! i knew it ! i knew his feelings for you did n't change . and the minute he found out you were pregnant with his child , they got even stronger . i -- i ca n't believe this . what did he do ? what did he say when he put this ring on you ? hope : he didn't . brooke : what ? hope : liam did n't put this ring on my finger , mom . steffy did . liam : that was , uh , quite a gesture . steffy : it was time . liam : steffy , you took your ring off and you gave it to hope . steffy : hope 's the woman you should be with , liam . liam : but if you felt that way , you should have said that . instead , you told hope she would be marrying me . that 's -- that 's something i should be doing . not you . zoe : this is completely mental . hiring me as a forrester model . this is just too amazing . xander : well , you should be excited , zoe . it 's a great gig . zoe : it 's beyond great . thorne , i ca n't thank you enough . thorne : just keep stepping up the way you did at the fashion show . you 're gon na be a great addition around here . i 'll get your paperwork started with hr . zoe : this is n't what either one of us expected , but i really hope you can be happy for me , xander . thorne : perfect . emma : did you just hire zoe ? thorne : yes . i was just on my way to hr . how did you know ? emma : you ca n't do that . thorne : i already did . emma : she sent those posts , crashed the fashion show . thorne : well , actually , she saved the show because she jumped in . emma : she was n't supposed to be there . thorne : yes , that is true , but it 's a good thing that she was . people are still talking about her . you have a problem with that . emma : zoe is xander 's ex - girlfriend . zoe : i do n't want you to be mad about this , xander . i did n't lie to you . harry and i were going back to london . i was packing when thorne stopped by to talk to me . i mean , i did n't even know he was going to offer me a job . xander : i get why he did . you crushed it on the runway . zoe : beginner 's luck . xander : thorne thinks you have potential . zoe : and i need to see if he 's right . this is an incredible opportunity for me , xander . i ca n't leave los angeles now . brooke : you and liam are engaged , but he did n't propose ? hope : steffy took off her ring and put it on my finger . she said that liam and i should be married . brooke : is that what liam wants ? hope : honestly , we were both too stunned to say anything . brooke : so steffy proposed to you for liam ? liam : steffy , when this whole thing started , i told you -- i told you i needed time to think . steffy : take all the time you need , but i made up my mind . liam : okay , but calling off the engagement is one thing . giving your ring to hope is ... not that . steffy : it was n't a ploy . i really believe you and hope will be happy together . liam : okay , but that decision , that one , needed to be mine . steffy : you made that decision in that dressing room with hope . and when i caught you together , i made mine . thorne : i get it , your relationship with xander makes this complicated for you . emma : it ca n't happen , thorne . zoe ca n't work here . thorne : emma , it 's -- it 's just business . we all have our jobs to do . i hired zoe . you 're gon na have to put your personal feelings aside . zoe : i 'd really like your support , xander . xander : i know . zoe : well , no pressure . i already took the job . i 'm not giving up no matter what you say . but it would be a lot more fun if we do n't have to avoid each other in the halls . xander : it wo n't be like that . i 'm just a little worried about how emma 's gon na react . zoe : the teeny - bopper ? why do you care what she thinks ? xander : because she 's a sweet , talented person who means something to me . zoe : uh - huh . xander : i 'd like it if we could all get along . zoe : ah . i can see us now . the three musketeers . okay . maybe not . but i 'm chuffed about this job , xander . i 'm not doing anything to mess it up . this is my chance -- not to just be a model , but to stay here , in los angeles , with you . hope : steffy said she wants all of us to get along , that the war between us is over . brooke : and it has been a war . hope : yeah , it certainly felt that way at times . endless conflict , defending my relationship against constant attacks ... it was exhausting . and , you know , steffy felt the same way , too . so she called a truce . besides , you know , we 're gon na be raising our children together , and they 'll be half - siblings , so , you know , they deserve a life full of peace and harmony , and i want that for them . gosh , i want that for all of us . brooke : of course you do , sweetheart . hope : i just -- i ca n't believe it finally happened , without arguments , without fighting . it just all magically fell into place . [ sighs ] gosh , it just -- it could n't get better than this . brooke : i disagree . do n't get me wrong , this is positive , and steffy 's change in behavior , that 's very encouraging , but when it comes down to it , it 's liam 's decision to make , not steffy 's . steffy : somebody had to say `` enough . `` liam : yes , i get that , but that 's not what you said . you went way beyond that . steffy : one of us had to be the adult , liam , cut through all the emotion and the history and just make the call . liam : that 's -- that 's what i 'm saying . that call was n't yours to make . steffy : i 'm kelly 's mother , and it 's my job to give her a secure , stable life . i ca n't wait around , waiting for you to decide which family you want to live with . i do n't doubt your commitment to us , your loyalty to kelly . i know i made mistakes . big mistakes . but i 've shed enough tears . i 've wrung my hands , i have paced the floor my entire pregnancy , and i 'm done , liam . i 'm over it . and maybe i just -- maybe i just needed to hit rock bottom . accepting bill 's proposal , it woke me up . and it made me realize i 'm stronger than that . go be with hope , liam . it does n't have to be this complicated . you want her , go be with her . she 's carrying your child . and i know you already love that kid , just like you love ours . liam : i do . steffy : and i know you love hope , too . liam : i do , but ... for her sake , what that means and where i go from here needed to be my decision . steffy : you can make whatever decision you want , just know that i 'm not an option . i made a mistake -- a huge mistake -- and i tried to apologize . i tried to make it right . but women today , we do n't wait around to be chosen . hope 's not gon na wait around , either . she wants a life with you , and i ... i want something else . i control this company . i control my life . my destiny will be the one i give to myself and my daughter . thorne : steffy wants to re - ignite the lingerie line . zoe : [ sighs ] these are brilliant . thorne : yeah , there was a time that this was forrester 's hottest collection . steffy wants to put the line back in the spotlight . zoe : is this what i 'll be modeling ? thorne : yeah . how do you feel about that ? zoe : i feel like it 's a perfect fit . thorne : great . i 'll get ready for a run - through with the other models . i 'll get it set up . zoe : [ gasps ] are n't you sneaky . emma : i heard the news . zoe : amazing , is n't it ? emma : you expect me to congratulate you ? zoe : that would the polite thing to do . emma : what do you want , zoe ? what 's your objective here ? zoe : i 'd like to get changed , if you do n't mind . emma : you were stalking xander . you made threats to the hope for the future website , and then somehow ended up modeling the showstopper for the collection , and -- boom ! you have a new career at forrester creations . zoe : quite a stroke of luck . emma : not for xander . he left england to get away from you . he came to forrester to have a fresh start . you do n't deserve to work here . you need to go to thorne and tell him that you do n't want the job . liam : you know , you wo n't be raising kelly alone . steffy : of course not . you 'll be a big part of her life . i know it was n't long ago when i thought we had to be living under the same roof to be the best parents for kelly . the dream of having a life with you , liam ... it 's over . i 've accepted that . liam : i 'm so sorry . i never meant to make it feel like a competition . steffy : [ chuckles ] but it did . it did . i 'm not perfect . i have my flaws . but i loved you completely . you hemmed and hawed and you asked for more time . you had every right to . but i need to take control of my life . and maybe i 'll find a guy one day who 's ready to commit himself to me . but i 'm not gon na put my life on hold waiting for him . i 'm definitely not gon na be like brooke , defined by the man she 's seeing in the moment . i do n't need a relationship to make me whole or secure . i can do that myself . and for our little girl . liam : you know how much i love her , right ? i do n't ever want you to doubt that . steffy : i don't . i know you love me . and i will always love you , liam . but it 's time for me to get on with my life . and , hey , you 've done a great job with hope for the future , and i know she probably wants to have you on board , which is completely fine with me . i 'd like you to still work here . [ sighs ] we 're adults . we can work together . we can co - parent kelly . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to get back to work . liam : steffy . i know what i had . but you 're right . this was not just my decision to make , and ... it was selfish of me to make you wait . i 'm sorry . no apologies , i know . i get it , we 're past that now . but each of us has the right to choose what we want out of life , and i respect your decision . just ... i guess i just was n't ready to feel what i 'm feeling right now .

[ sniffles ] trapped . and then the most amazing thing happened to me . [ crying ] you happened to me . i never in a million years thought that something as wonderful as you would come out of this deal i 'd made with my father . so you see , you 're in my life because of him , and i could lose you because of him . he wants me in that house . and i owe him . that 's why i lied . brady : i see . kristen : even if i ever did manage to do all the things he wants me to do without pushing you away , it 's always gon na be something else . even if he says there 's not gon na be something else , there 's always gon na be something else . 'cause the one thing i know about stefano is you ca n't trust him . brady : no , you ca n't trust him . kristen : i know . that 's why i have always felt alone . i feel like i ca n't trust anybody . [ sobbing ] brady : hey . kristen . me . look at me . you can trust me .

<s>[INST] eric : if we would have died yesterday , we would have died with a lot of unsaid stuff . i think it 's time we stop lying to ourselves and to each other . nicole : you 're right . eric : i 'm glad you feel the same way . nicole : but what is it you think i 've been lying to you about ? eric : you never explained why you felt the need to pack up and leave town . nicole : you seriously do n't know , do you ? eric : well , wha— rafe : oh , great , you 're both here . listen , i need to get your statements on the attempted robbery . it wo n't ... sorry , am i interrupting something ? eric : yes . nicole : no .

[ scene_break ] abigail : you ca n't second guess yourself , mom . how much are you supposed to put up with ? daniel knows what an evil woman chloe has been to you and him . jennifer : all right , but you do n't understand . i asked him to cut off all contact with chloe . abigail : good for you . jennifer : no , it -- it 's not . i do n't ever want to stand in the way of daniel 's relationship with his son . so , when i think about it , i think it 's cruel that i asked him to raise his son in a world where his parents do n't even speak to each other . abigail : well , that 's better than in a world where his parents are throwing things at each other . and you know , mom , what would be cruel would be to let chloe break daniel 's heart and yours and that poor little boy of hers , because she is using him as a pawn in her little game . jennifer : you know what , honey ? thank you . you always make me feel better . abigail : no , mom , stop . mom , i mean it . you 're doing the right thing . one thing that i 've learned recently is , you have to stand up to people like chloe . otherwise , they 'll walk all over you every chance they get . jennifer : yeah . [ scene_break ] chloe : are you saying that my being here with your son is a problem for you ? daniel : no , no . i love having parker here . i will do anything for him . you know that . chloe : then , what do you want me to do ? disappear ? daniel : no . i want you to stop playing mind games with jennifer . chloe : what did i do ? what did jennifer tell you ? daniel : anyhow , it does n't matter what jennifer told me . i just want your word , for what little it 's worth , that jennifer does n't have to worry about you . chloe : daniel , why are you being like this ? what , do you hate me ? daniel : no . no , i do n't hate you , but i am done . i am done tiptoeing around this . so i want you to tell me what you really want . [ scene_break ] kristen : so , when i left salem , you know , everybody thought i died . [ sniffles ] [ laughs wryly ] i bet my funeral was the biggest party this town had ever seen . i think that , as the years went by , though , kind of , word got out that i was alive in europe . i had n't really died . i ca n't tell you , though , how many times i wish i had . brady : you , uh , said you were hiding out on an island . it does n't sound that bad to me . kristen : i was being held a prisoner . [ laughs ] and , um ... horrible things were done to me . brady : wha -- kristen : no . i ca n't talk about it right now , please . but , i mean , what made it even worse , if that 's even a possibility , is that i brought it on myself . [ tearful laugh ] you know ? every person that had ever cared about me , i alienated them all . do you know what 's worse than being hated ? it 's being completely forgotten . brady : well , you 're definitely not forgotten now . kristen , what happened ? did you es -- did you escape or -- kristen : no . somebody set me free . [ sniffles ] but i had to pay a price . i had to pay a huge price . [ scene_break ] marlena : you just ca n't push brady too hard , but deep down , he loves his family . and he 's having a very hard time walking away from us , so we just have to be patient . kate : well , if there 's anything i can do , and i mean that . believe me , i had to suffer through that smug bitch delivering stefano 's divorce papers , so , personally , i would like to see brady leave kristen 's heart in a bloody pulp on the floor . marlena : wow . kate : [ laughs ] hmm . marlena : that sounds vindictive . i like that . kate : [ laughs ] marlena : enough about this . how are you ? kate : [ exhales ] i 'm good . marlena : yes , you are . you 're more than good , you 're fabulous . we 'll have coffee . you 'll tell me your secret . kate : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] rafe : all right , um , sorry if this is a bad time , but this kinda ca n't wait . eric : look , i already told my dad everything he needs . rafe : yeah , afraid not .

[ scene_break ] bo : listen to me . we will stop vivian before she gets to your daughter . carly : how ? how ? if she knows that i have a little girl -- you know her . you know how resourceful she is , how crafty she is . i mean , how long before she figures out who that little girl is ? bo : if that happens , we 'll stop her . vivian will not lay a finger on your daughter . carly : oh , you 're damn right she wo n't . she wo n't . i killed lawrence to protect my child . if i have to , i 'll kill vivian too !

[ scene_break ] vivian : lawrence the father ? i do n't think so . my nephew and i had differences , but he would have told me if there were another child . victor : you 're sure about that ? vivian : victor ... do you remember when i found that letter -- that unfinished letter that lawrence wrote to carly and never sent her ? victor : yes , he was livid about something she did . vivian : what would make him angrier than carly having a love child with another man ? victor : the ultimate betrayal . vivian : indeed . and just before you came , i talked to my source , who viewed a record that listed the father of the child as unknown . so lawrence could n't have sired the child . victor : then who did ? [ scene_break ] bo : carly ... carly : no , vivian is back for one reason and one reason only : to avenge her nephew 's death . if she finds out that i have a child , a child that lawrence hated and wanted dead -- bo : hey , slow down . carly : i need to protect my child -- you tell me what i do ! tell me what i do , i 'll do it !

[ scene_break ] melanie : of course i 'm happy . why would you ask me that ? nathan : i do n't know , melanie . you know , maybe i should n't have , but , like i said , it seemed sudden . melanie : it 's not sudden at all -- it happened organically , actually , if that 's -- i do n't know if that 's the word for it . nathan : uh , i do n't know unless you tell me what happened . melanie : okay , um , philip and i were gon na go on a non - christmas eve vacation . and he rented a room here in town . and things went so swimmingly that he just popped the question . it was all romantic and really , really sweet and -- and -- nathan : you know what ? maybe this is n't my place at all , but it seems like you 're overselling this , mel . maybe even trying to talk yourself into it . melanie : you know what , nathan , you 're right , this is n't your place . [ scene_break ] vivian : yes , victor , that is the million - dollar question : who is the father of carly 's bastard love child ? victor : and where is that child now ? vivian : i 'm going to find out the answer to both those questions . [ scene_break ] carly : [ crying ] i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . bo : no . no , do n't be . carly : no , it 's just all these horrible , panicky feelings that i had right before i -- they 're coming back . it 's just the same . bo : no , listen to me . it 's not the same . you had to protect your daughter on your own . you had no one there to help you . now it 's different . you have me .

[ scene_break ] bo : carly ... carly : no , vivian is back for one reason and one reason only : to avenge her nephew 's death . if she finds out that i have a child , a child that lawrence hated and wanted dead -- bo : hey , slow down . carly : i need to protect my child -- you tell me what i do ! tell me what i do , i 'll do it !

alexandra : all right ! my point is she feels ... well , i think she 's unduly frightened . and i wonder why . alan : i do n't know . but i 'm sure you 're going to tell me . alexandra : because it 's not totally unlikely that the wrong ex - wife is behind bars . harley : where did you get a cell phone ?

harley : i 'm in prison for murder , lena . i 've got nothing but time to hunt for something better to do . what else is there ? watch the clock ? oh , yeah , it 's ... oh , it 's noon . yeah , so that would be zach sitting down for lunch . 3 : 00 is when jude watches his favorite program . 5 : 30 , oh , got to start getting dinner ready . if i think about all the seconds of day that i 'm missing with them , i 'm going to lose it . lena : yes , i know . harley : help me out here . how do you ... how do you cope ? lena : well , when i ca n't stand it one more second , which is every moment of every waking day , i ... i dream . ( laughs ) i dream . i dream of all the starring roles in all the big movies . and i .. and i try to imagine , you know , what my life would have been like when i had gotten my big break , when i ... when i got to hollywood . harley : or what it would have been like if you 'd spent maybe a little more time with your daughter . lena : yeah , right . harley : lena . sorry . it 's just that when you talk like that , you sound like ... someone else . anyway , all that stuff about , you know , fantasies and dreams , that 's not my thing . lena : well , do n't knock it till you try it . you know what i mean ? harley : lena , i 'm really grateful to have you here . lena : yeah . me , too . okay ? okay . gus : look , warden , i know that you hear this kind of thing all the time , you know , but harley cooper does n't belong here in your facility . mallet : she 's innocent ? gus : well , i know that 's hard to believe . mallet : especially coming from a defense attorney . gus : yeah . and i 'm not just that . we were engaged . and we were meant to be married at one point . mallet : you 're not helping your case , mr . aitoro . gus : yeah , no , i know , i know , i know . but you need to understand , and you do n't know this woman like i do . she was an excellent cop , an excellent cop . she was a great detective , a great mother , a pillar in the society . mallet : why do n't you save all of that for the parole board ? gus : see , that 's just the point . i ai n't waiting for a parole hearing . she 's not a murderer . and she 's in here because of me . because i failed her . so i 'm desperate . and if you understand that , then you 'll understand that i 'm not going to rest until i get her out of here . you see , warden ? mallet : uh , yeah . yeah , i think i do . marina : do you think i need to keep tabs on danny ? buzz : absolutely not . marina : okay , so i do n't need to keep tabs on him , but you do think it 's a good idea for me to run off . buzz : i 'm just reminding you how much you care for that fellow . marina : you 're reminding me ? since when did you become the guardian angel of my relationship with danny ? buzz : well , i do n't let on about it , but i 'm a sucker for romance . i see things . marina : oh , pray tell , o wise one of the greasy spoon . buzz : look , everything is complicated except love . love is the most basic human emotion . you 'd have to screw up to complicate that . marina : love . please . do n't get carried away . buzz : no , that 's what i 'm saying , the opposite : get carried away . let yourself go . there 's nothing like it . marina : what if ... buzz : oh , come on . then you see where you learn it . you 're like your old man . he 'd rather chew glass than let his heart go . the heart is a muscle . it needs exercise to make it strong . come here . you see ? up ! he leaped without looking , and he landed just fine . marina : that 's because you caught him . buzz : true happiness is making the leap of faith . marina : hi . yeah . i need to book your next flight out to vegas . michelle : that was a good bottle of wine . danny : yeah , obviously . merlot , michelle . michelle : ( laughs ) danny : ( sighs ) michelle : ( sighs ) danny : i 'm drunk . michelle : ( laughs ) danny : all right , i 'm going to go catch a nap on the floor out there and wait for the judge to come back . michelle : yeah . and you 're not going to be able to stand up in the morning . i mean ... danny : i 'll be fine . michelle : ... we 're adults . we can sleep in the same room ... bed . danny : i do n't know . michelle : okay , i promise i wo n't take advantage of you . danny : really ? is that right ? michelle : mm - hmm . denny : you really think you 'd be able to resist me ? michelle : yeah , you 're a funny guy . funny guy . lay down . ( grunts ) danny : what are you doing ? michelle : i know you like to sleep on the left . danny : well , yeah , i do . michelle : but there 's something about this room that creeps me out , so ... danny : there 's a lot about this room that creeps me out . michelle : ... i 've got to sleep over here . okay ? danny : hold on , hold on . i 'm not sleeping on this pillow . michelle : remember when i first came home after the accident ? i had no idea whose side of the bed i slept on . danny : yeah . you were so nervous . what ? what ?

gus : warden , i 'm sure that you take into consideration the safety of each and every one of your inmates , right ? mallet : ah , so you 're worried about what happens when the inmates find out cooper used to be a cop . gus : they already know she 's a cop . so she 's going to need special protection . mallet : okay . that 's my job . nothing more you can do here , mr . aitoro . gus : clear her . mallet : what makes you think you can do that ? gus : let me tell you something , warden . if anything happens to harley cooper when she 's under your watch , i am going to slap you with so many lawsuits you 'd be lucky if you ran a dog pound . mallet : ( laughs ) hey , you know , you 're very determined . i appreciate that . but , you know , this woman is in for murder . is she really worth all you 're doing ? gus : well , if you knew her , you would n't have to ask that question . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... alan : state your business . i do n't want to be here any longer than i have to . lena : that makes two of us , alan . i want out . mallet : this is my private phone line , which you are never , ever permitted to use , even when i go out and i lock the door so no one could even come in and see you using it . you hear me ? oprah : the woman who saved steven coj gus : just think about what i said . mallet : you 've done all you could . i 'll take it from here . guard , front gate . gus : right . harley : reporting for duty again , your highness . mallet : it 's okay , brisco . shut the door . is there a problem ? harley : only one ? come on , what 's the fun in complaining if i do n't get to run down my whole list . mallet : list . speaking of lists , would you do everything on this one ? harley : you 're kidding , right ? look , i know this job entails lack of sleep , but do you do anything for yourself ? mallet : why should i ? i have you . actually , i 'm a little backed up today . unexpected guest kept me busy , so let 's just get to work . harley : hm . entertaining guests . must be nice to be the boss . mallet : not really . but that 's okay . he wo n't be back . michelle : i have n't felt that ... that way in a really long time . danny : me , too . i 'm sorry . michelle : it 's nobody 's fault . danny : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . we can't . no , we can't . we shouldn't . we can't . oh , god . we can't . we 've been drinking , and i mean ... it felt good , but ... michelle : danny , it felt good , okay ?

mallet : no . harley : fine . then mind your own business and finish telling me what to do . i 'm sorry . i miss my kids . okay ? i 'm trying hard not to think about it . mallet : piece of advice : keep thinking about the life you wish you were living and little by little , you 'll lose your grip on the life you have . harley : the life i had . can we finish ? mallet : sure . thers a mop and cleaning products in that closet . and , um ... one more thing . this is my private phone line , which you are never , ever permitted to use . understand ? even when i go out and i lock the door so no one could even come in and see you using it . you hear me ?

sort of talk to him cop - to - cop and work out a program where i could protect harley until i got her out of there , but he just was n't having it . buzz : so , how is she doing ? gus : ( sighs ) i did n't get to see her . ( telephone rings ) zach : hello ? harley : zach ? zach : mommy . tony : look , babe , the judge i found is ready to finalize the divorce tonight and turn around and marry you and me . let 's do this . michelle : look , tony , i 'm really grateful to you for going to all that trouble , but i can't . i ca n't do this . tony : what does ... what does that mean , you ca n't do this ? i do n't understand that . michelle : i do n't want to get married in vegas . i want to stick to what we already planned . tony : michelle , what does it matter if there 's a wedding or not as long as we 're married , right ? michelle : because a quickie wedding in vegas , i do n't feel does justice to the way we feel about each other . tony : hey , hey , hey . i want you to listen to me . look at me . i 'm going to love you tonight , tomorrow . it does n't matter if we 're in a tacky chapel or if we 're in a beach , i do n't care . michelle : okay , look , a quick divorce from danny is no way to end what we had , either . tony : michelle , it did n't stop you guys from coming down here to get a divorce . danny : tony , we were trying to move things along so that you two could get married . tony : i know , that we could get married . yes , i know that , danny . what 's the problem , here ? i do n't understand . everybody gets what they want , right , out of this ? listen , babe , this is a chance that we deserve . can we take this ? please . alan : we have a deal . i send your daughter money and try to get her to come see you and you are my eyes and ears around harley cooper . lena : yes , alan . but you just never told me that harley was starring in her own soap opera 24 hours a day . i mean , god , i ca n't even keep track of her . not to mention what she 's doing with that warden , and let 's not even get me started about the lawyer . alan : gus aitoro ? what about him ? lena : oh , i do n't know . i know she was married to the warden and she was supposed to marry the lawyer . they both really still have a thing for her . and the warden , he 's got her on a special work detail , and oh , the lawyer came storming the gates in here today . alan : the warden , is his name mallet ? lena : so you know him . alan : i know of him . so , gus came to see harley today , huh ? when ? i want details . lena : yes , alan , i 'm sure you do , but i have to tell you , it 's exhausting keeping track of all these details . and i have to admit , i really like harley . i do . she 's the best person i 've met since i 've been here . so you can see how hard this is for me . alan : mm - hmm . i knew you were in here for murder , but i did n't know extortion as well . lena : i 've picked up a few little tricks during my stay . now , you sweeten the deal or you get nothing . da da da dum . harley : keep talking , sweetie pie . i love hearing your voice . zach : grandpa does n't know the bedtime secret . i 'll stay up forever . harley : you and grandpa are having so much fun , are n't you ? zach : sometimes . when are you coming home ? i miss you . i have a soccer game tomorrow . harley : i know , baby . i miss you , too . buzz : can i talk to your mom ? hey . how are you doing , kiddo ? harley : daddy . buzz : look , things are pretty much as you expect them , here . we 're just trying to figure a way to get you out of there . harley : thank you . buzz : frank is putting jude to sleep , but there 's somebody here that is dying to talk to you . harley : no . buzz : harley . harley : daddy , i ca n't handle it . i mean , seeing him , hearing his voice . it hurts too much . please . i ca n't handle it . buzz : i understand . ( door closes ) ( keys rattle ) harley : okay , i ca n't talk much longer . zach 's bedtime secret ? buzz : yeah , what is that ? harley : yes , well , we change it every week , but the thing is , you ca n't change the secret unless you know the password . buzz : and what is that ? harley : who loves you , baby . buzz : well , you know who that is . he 's about a foot away from me and he 's going to fight with all his might to get you free and keep on after that . harley : thank you for saying that . ( pounding at door ) ( keys rattle ) guard : cooper ! harley : okay , i have to go . i 'm doing okay here . everybody 's pretty nice to me . i 've got a job working in the warden 's office . daddy , you will never guess who the warden is . gus : ( sighs ) she does n't want to talk to me ? warden ? warden durrell . what are you doing here ? judge : i just need your signatures and everything will be in order . danny : okay . i 'll go first . thank you . right here . judge : you are officially divorced . i understand that someone also wants to get married ? michelle : actually , could you give us a minute , your honor ? do you mind ? judge : sure . michelle : thanks . tony : thank you . danny : all right . i 'm going to head back to springfield . congratulations . and i mean that . tony : danny , listen . i know this all seems very strange . a little , right ? danny : understatement , yeah . mm - hmm . tony : i 'd like it if you stuck around for a while . danny : why ? what for ? tony : because i do need a best man . danny : tony ... tony : danny , please . danny : look ... listen , we 're all adults here and we 're moving on , but i can never watch michelle marry someone else , anyone else . tony : all right . i understand . danny : all right . so ... have an amazing life . you deserve it . michelle : you , too . danny : see you back there . tony : you ready ? hm ? you ready ? michelle : mm - hmm . buzz : i thought you 'd be halfway to vegas by now . marina : yeah , well . i made it to the airport . i just could n't get on the plane . buzz : second thoughts ? marina : and third . and fourth and fifth ones , too . i had to go with my original feeling . you know , if i went to vegas , it would show danny how much i care about him , but it would say how little i trust him . buzz : i am a firm believer in the power of good people to find a way to get to each other , no matter what stands in their way . ( cell phone ringing ) oops . danny ? marina : yeah . buzz : listen , do n't tell him i approve of him . i kind of like to see him jump through hoops . marina : you are terrible . danny ? danny : hey . can i tell you how good it is to hear your voice ? marina : as much as you want . danny : so , i 'm coming home and we need to talk . marina : okay . ca n't you just tell me whatever you want to talk about now ? danny : no , it needs to be in person . i 'll see you soon . marina : okay . alan : we already have a deal , lena . lena : yes , but alan , i do like her , and so it 's going to cost you a little extra money if you want information harley and gus , and the warden . alan : if you want more , you 'll have to give me more . lena : deal . alan : you know , i hate to be disappointed . you 're a very charming lady . i 'd hate to see anything happen to you . lena : like what ? alan : oh , like ... oh , i do n't know . accidents happen , do n't they ? especially in prison . ( laughs ) harley : all right , all right . you do n't have to be so rough . wait a minute . wait a minute . this is not the way to my cell . bad guard : who says you 're going back to your cell ? gus : wait , wait , whoa . warden . i do n't even care why you are here . i just ... let me apologize for snapping at you earlier . let me buy you a meal . come on . yeah , i just wanted to tell you i 'm going to be working on harley cooper 's case . i 'm trying to get her out and i just ... the last thing i wanted to do was end up on your bad side . mallet : i just do n't have time to be social . buzz : what the hell are you doing here ? gus : hey , buzz . this is warden durrell i told you about . remember ? buzz : i know who he is . so , it 's durrell these days ? how many names can one man have ? mallet : is that harley 's little boy ? buzz : you stay away from him . gus : buzz , what 's ... what 's ... buzz : are you actually dumb enough to think you 're welcome here ? i did n't think so . gus : buzz ? buzz : the warden is harley 's ex - husband . gus , meet ac mallet . next , on `` guiding light `` ... alan : you destroyed phillip and i am not going to allow you to destroy gus . you stop hurting my son or i promise you that i will make your stay here in prison more painful than you can possibly imagine . gus : you knew exactly who i was , but then you pretended to be somebody else . mallet : i thought it would be easier . gus : easier than what ? admitting that you 're at that prison just so you could be closer to her ?

harley : i 'm in prison for murder , lena . i 've got nothing but time to hunt for something better to do . what else is there ? watch the clock ? oh , yeah , it 's ... oh , it 's noon . yeah , so that would be zach sitting down for lunch . 3 : 00 is when jude watches his favorite program . 5 : 30 , oh , got to start getting dinner ready . if i think about all the seconds of day that i 'm missing with them , i 'm going to lose it . lena : yes , i know . harley : help me out here . how do you ... how do you cope ?

( laughs ) i dream . i dream of all the starring roles in all the big movies . and i .. and i try to imagine , you know , what my life would have been like when i had gotten my big break , when i ... when i got to hollywood . harley : or what it would have been like if you 'd spent maybe a little more time with your daughter . lena : yeah , right . harley : lena . sorry . it 's just that when you talk like that , you sound like ... someone else . anyway , all that stuff about , you know , fantasies and dreams , that 's not my thing . lena : well , do n't knock it till you try it . you know what i mean ? harley : lena , i 'm really grateful to have you here . lena : yeah . me , too . okay ? okay . gus : look , warden , i know that you hear this kind of thing all the time , you know , but harley cooper does n't belong here in your facility . mallet : she 's innocent ? gus : well , i know that 's hard to believe . mallet : especially coming from a defense attorney . gus : yeah . and i 'm not just that . we were engaged . and we were meant to be married at one point . mallet : you 're not helping your case , mr . aitoro . gus : yeah , no , i know , i know , i know . but you need to understand , and you do n't know this woman like i do . she was an excellent cop , an excellent cop . she was a great detective , a great mother , a pillar in the society . mallet : why do n't you save all of that for the parole board ? gus : see , that 's just the point . i ai n't waiting for a parole hearing . she 's not a murderer . and she 's in here because of me . because i failed her . so i 'm desperate . and if you understand that , then you 'll understand that i 'm not going to rest until i get her out of here . you see , warden ? mallet : uh , yeah . yeah , i think i do . marina : do you think i need to keep tabs on danny ? buzz : absolutely not . marina : okay , so i do n't need to keep tabs on him , but you do think it 's a good idea for me to run off . buzz : i 'm just reminding you how much you care for that fellow . marina : you 're reminding me ? since when did you become the guardian angel of my relationship with danny ? buzz : well , i do n't let on about it , but i 'm a sucker for romance . i see things . marina : oh , pray tell , o wise one of the greasy spoon . buzz : look , everything is complicated except love . love is the most basic human emotion . you 'd have to screw up to complicate that . marina : love . please . do n't get carried away . buzz : no , that 's what i 'm saying , the opposite : get carried away . let yourself go . there 's nothing like it . marina : what if ... buzz : oh , come on . then you see where you learn it . you 're like your old man . he 'd rather chew glass than let his heart go . the heart is a muscle . it needs exercise to make it strong . come here . you see ? up ! he leaped without looking , and he landed just fine . marina : that 's because you caught him . buzz : true happiness is making the leap of faith . marina : hi . yeah . i need to book your next flight out to vegas . michelle : that was a good bottle of wine . danny : yeah , obviously . merlot , michelle . michelle : ( laughs ) danny : ( sighs ) michelle : ( sighs ) danny : i 'm drunk . michelle : ( laughs ) danny : all right , i 'm going to go catch a nap on the floor out there and wait for the judge to come back . michelle : yeah . and you 're not going to be able to stand up in the morning . i mean ... danny : i 'll be fine . michelle : ... we 're adults . we can sleep in the same room ... bed . danny : i do n't know . michelle : okay , i promise i wo n't take advantage of you . danny : really ? is that right ? michelle : mm - hmm . denny : you really think you 'd be able to resist me ? michelle : yeah , you 're a funny guy . funny guy . lay down .

gus : warden , i 'm sure that you take into consideration the safety of each and every one of your inmates , right ? mallet : ah , so you 're worried about what happens when the inmates find out cooper used to be a cop . gus : they already know she 's a cop . so she 's going to need special protection . mallet : okay . that 's my job . nothing more you can do here , mr . aitoro . gus : clear her . mallet : what makes you think you can do that ? gus : let me tell you something , warden . if anything happens to harley cooper when she 's under your watch , i am going to slap you with so many lawsuits you 'd be lucky if you ran a dog pound . mallet : ( laughs ) hey , you know , you 're very determined . i appreciate that . but , you know , this woman is in for murder . is she really worth all you 're doing ? gus : well , if you knew her , you would n't have to ask that question . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... alan : state your business . i do n't want to be here any longer than i have to . lena : that makes two of us , alan . i want out . mallet : this is my private phone line , which you are never , ever permitted to use , even when i go out and i lock the door so no one could even come in and see you using it . you hear me ?

victoria feels guilty for playing dirty against victor and essentially lying about a business deal to persuade the mediator to freeze one third of newman enterprises assets . victor loses to important business deals but tells nick that he may be down but he is n't out and he wo n't let jack and tucker reap the spoils of his business crisis . victor gives an interview where he assures the business world that newman enterprises will come out on top like always . nick tells victor that since they have lost two business deals they will have to lay off many employees . nick confronts victoria and tells her that this lawsuit is costing may employees their jobs and it just is n't about wanting to prove a point to victor anymore it is affecting people who have to support their families . billy tells primrose that he deposited half the money for the adoption and he will bring her the other half when she gives him the baby . victoria is depressed because she feels like she has lost her entire family . billy calls primrose again and asks her to bring the baby tonight and he will give her the rest of the money .

's hand . you may not want that on your conscience . i , for one , am having a little trouble with this myself -- the fact that i did something that could well open his jail cell . billy : right . but this is the lesser of two evils . you ca n't let victor get away with this , right ? phyllis : you know , i 'm sitting next to my son here , and ... it reminds me of when i was in this hospital with summer . i mean , i did n't know if she was gon na be okay . you 'd think that victor would learn from that , right ? that he would learn from colleen 's death , that he would learn something , and he has n't . i think you should go for it .

daniel : because he 's been sober for less than a year , and staying that way has to be his top priority . melanie : it is . daniel : okay , he 's older than you . he 's older than you . melanie : are you -- in years , maybe , but not experience . have you forgotten how i grew up ?

how 'd it go ? melanie : he was surprised . maggie : yeah , i 'm sure of it . melanie : i think i made him feel better about it , though . i know i did . maggie : so you think it went well ? melanie : yeah . yeah , really well . brady : you look pretty upset . daniel : yeah , yeah , really did n't see that one coming . brady : neither did we . daniel : that 's what melanie said . look , i love you . i would do anything for you . and i appreciate the fact that you 've been working hard to put your life back together , so if you and melanie think that this could be a good thing ... i wo n't get in the way . brady : daniel , that -- that means a lot to me . daniel : let me finish . i 'll keep my word . i know better than to get between the two of you , but before you get into this , you should know one thing . if you break melanie 's heart or if you hurt her even a little bit , you will have to deal with me . brady : i know . you do n't even have to say it . daniel : i think i do . brady : you 're protective of your daughter . i respect it . but i 've known melanie a long time too . she 's a dear friend of mine . i 'm protective of her as well . i will never hurt her . daniel : i 'm gon na hold you to that . clint : do you have to get back to work ? theresa : uh , technically , yes , but you know what ? suddenly i 'm just not feeling so well . maybe i should call in sick . clint : sounds good to me . anne : there you are . theresa : what are you doing here ? anne : i 'm looking for you . you know you 're still on the clock at the hospital ? somebody is gon na catch on . theresa : ca n't you just tell them that i got sick and i went home on my lunch break ? anne : theresa , you do n't want to lose this job , okay ? clint : did you hear what the lady said ? she 's not going back . theresa : uh , you know what ? anne 's right . i should probably head back to the hospital , um , but i 'll catch you later , right ? clint : yeah , later . theresa : great . so you ready to head back to the hospital ? anne : you need a mental hospital . seriously , what is wrong with you ? are you out of your mind that you would spend more than two minutes with that goon ? get out of here . come on . cole : looks like things changed pretty fast while i was in rehab . i thought you and jj were tight . paige : we were , and now we 're not . cole : what happened ? he hook up with somebody else ? paige : how did you know ? cole : i did n't , but i know jj . [ line trilling ] [ cell phone ringing ] eve : what do you want ? jj : we have to talk right now in person . eve : why ? what 's going on ? jj : i 'll tell you when i see you . eve : look , i ca n't be seen with you . jj : well , then i 'll come to your place . eve : no . jj : all right , look , then you 're gon na come to my house . nobody 's home . park down the street , and you 're gon na go through the back door . eve : are you sure nobody 's there ? jj : yes , my mom and sister are gone . nobody 's home , and if anyone shows up , just say that you came by to let me have it . trust me , they 'll buy it . eve : i do n't like this . jj : just do it . i 'll see you there in five minutes . with psoriatic arthritis , i had intense joint pain that got worse and worse . chad : thank you . abigail : chad , we just found out you were here . jordan : what 's wrong ? what happened ? chad : your brother . john : thanks for coming by , rafe . rafe : [ sighs ] yeah , what 's going on ? john : yeah , looks like i 'm gon na have to run him in . rafe : why ? john : i do n't know . abe and i were having a cup of coffee , and then ben here just starts beating the hell out of chad dimera . rafe : oh , ben ... what 'd you do that for ? ben : he said something i did n't like . rafe : which was what ? ben : does it matter ? john : chad claims he 's done it before , and you know all about it , so what say you ? maggie : what happened with daniel ? melanie : he thinks brady has n't been sober long enough . maggie : that 's true . current wisdom says a person should stay sober at least a year before making any serious life decisions . melanie : right , but he 's been -- he 's been doing so well . should n't he get time off for good behavior ? maggie : the tincture of time is what brady needs right now . melanie : i so very much respect what you 're saying . i do , but i care just as much about brady 's sobriety as he does . maggie : honey , i know your heart is in the right place , and i know how much you care about brady . melanie : he 's my best friend . i mean , he 's been there for me through philip and through losing the baby . i mean , besides you and my dad and parker and my mom , he 's the most important person in the world to me . i would never do something to hurt him or disappoint you . maggie : i 'm worried about that right there . and as far as you disappointing me , that 's not possible . anne : theresa , after a guy like brady black and paul narita , how do you settle for this creep ? theresa : he 's fun . anne : sure he is , if you define `` fun `` as , like , a druggie , loser control freak with obvious anger - management issues . theresa : okay , fine , look , he 's not paul or brady . you know what ? right now he is the perfect guy for me . anne : [ sighs ] cole : you were right to dump jj . i was with bev when we first met him , and he started coming on to her from day one , even though he was n't into her that much . did n't matter to her , though . pretty soon , she was all about him . you know , he took her away from me just because he could . it 's how the guy operates . paige : cole , i really do n't want to hear this , okay ? jj : took you long enough . eve : you know paige has been grilling theresa , trying to find out if she 's seen you lately , jj ? jj : and who told you that -- theresa ? she 's just stirring up trouble . eve : no , no , no , she has an amazing radar for that kind of stuff . she also says that paige is still very much into you , and she wants to know and trying to find out who you 've been sleeping with . jj : well , that 's not the biggest problem you have to worry about right now . eve : oh , really ? then what is ? jj : well , i saw paige with a guy named cole . eve : what were they doing , jj ? jj : talking . eve : about what ? jj : what difference does that make ? she should n't be in the same room with that guy . eve : oh , my god , they were talking , jj . it 's not like they 're dating . jj : well , you have to stop this before it goes any -- eve : just calm down . i 'm -- i 'm getting out of here . jj : no , no , listen . you got to listen to me , okay ? i know that you think that i 'm the scum of the earth , and i probably am , but this guy -- he 's much worse , eve , even if he 's not related to my mom . eve : okay , what 's wrong with him ? jj : okay , for starters , he 's a drug dealer and is a user . he just got out of rehab . he 's clean right now , but that will not last . eve : hmm , maybe you 're just saying all this to turn me against this boy because he actually likes my daughter . jj : okay , you think i 'm bad for her ? eve : mm - hmm . jj : when he first met her , he tried to plant drugs on her . eve : she never said anything to me about that . jj : like she would ? eve : well , maybe you 're making it up , jj . jj : no , for god 's sake , i know you hate me , but you need to hate him more right now . you need to watch out for your daughter , eve . eve : i got you out of her life , did n't i ? hmm ? jj : you know what ? none of this is paige 's fault , but she can be the one that pays the price . she does n't listen to a word that i say anymore , and i do n't blame her , but she still listens to you , so you need to step up , damn it , and be the mother that you say she deserves . you ca n't let her get hurt again , and with this guy , it 'll be much worse . do you hear what i 'm saying to you ? eve : [ sighs ] i 'll take care of him . jj : swear it . eve : i swear . cole : i did n't mean to start in on jj . i guess it was my way of talking about me . paige : what about you ? cole : since i got out of rehab , i 've been doing this thing where i 'm trying to tell the people i hurt when i was using that i 'm sorry . it 's not a lot of fun . god . my mom . but the point is , what i was trying to say when jj came in is that i 'm sorry i tried to plant drugs on you . all i know is i 've got to find a way to start over again . it 's not easy trying to fit in . it 's like there really is n't a place for me anywhere . paige : that must be really hard . cole : yeah , it is . paige : give it some time . i have to go . cole : sure . paige : are you okay ? cole : yeah , i 'm cool . you go ahead . i should probably get going too . you know , it 's just -- paige : what ? cole : i do n't really know where to go . i ca n't stay at home all the time . i 'll go nuts . and i ca n't hang with rory and bev and that whole crowd . they all hate me anyway after i narked on rory and jj last year . paige : you can make new friends , ca n't you ? cole : who ? all the good kids -- they do n't like me either . i think they 're bunch of stuck - up losers . paige : so what do you do ? cole : well , this app on my phone , this really cool voice , it takes the stuff i write and turns it into a song . paige : [ stammers ] how does it work ? cole : here . like , i go ... i know this girl named paige . she 's way too cool to be my age . [ phone beeps ] [ electronic music playing ] paige : oh , that 's awesome . cole : you 're putting me on . paige : no , no , i 'm really not . theresa : you know what ? i am sick of trying to be good enough for guys like brady . at least clint likes me for who i am . anne : mm - hmm . for how long ? theresa : i do n't care if it 's just for today . and you know what ? maybe it 's better that way . anne : okay , and what does he do for a living , this clint person ? he does n't seem like the corporate type to me . theresa : i do n't know , and you know what ? i do n't actually care . anne : okay , well , as long as he does n't start borrowing money from you , t . theresa : well , you know what ? at least he 's not flaky like paul narita . anne : yeah , or good - looking and loaded like brady black , god forbid . theresa : actually , the fact that he is not like brady at all is what turns me on the most about him . melanie : hi . brady : hi . talked to your dad . melanie : yeah , i had a feeling he was headed over here . how 'd that go ? brady : about as well as can be expected , i guess . he did n't seem too happy . melanie : how about you ? are you happy ? daniel : i talked to -- talked to brady . maggie : you angry with him ? daniel : a little , yeah , but he 's not the one i 'm really mad at . maggie : melanie ? daniel : no . no , i 'm just mad at myself . rafe : ben , i do n't like chad dimera any more than you do . he goes around town , pressing people 's buttons . god knows he 's pressed mine , but you have got to find a better way to react to all this . i warned you . i warned you what would happen if you got into another fight with him . john : so you do have a history . rafe : is dimera pressing charges ? ben : of course he is . he finally got what he 's been trying to get all this time . jordan : ben did this to you ? chad : it 's not like it has n't happened before . except this time , he just lost it . abigail : so -- so ben just started punching you for no reason at all ? chad : what is that supposed to mean ? abigail : that i 'm wondering what you said to him . chad : look , i was just trying to start a conversation . i think we all know that it does n't take a lot to set the guy off . abe : well , chad , i just spoke to the doctor , and you may have a concussion , but he does n't really think so , and there are no broken ribs . chad : looks like i got off easy , then , huh ? abe : well , there 's one more thing to take care of . do you plan on pressing charges ? abigail : abe , i 'm sure that there 's a reasonable explanation -- chad : no , look , i 'm sorry , abigail , but , no , this has happened between him and me one too many times . your boyfriend needs to learn a lesson . jordan : chad , please , i will talk to ben . chad : no , i 'm pressing charges . rafe : john . john : yeah . rafe : i 'll bet anything that chad dimera provoked this fight . john : why do you say that ? rafe : 'cause he 's done the same thing to me . john : yeah , did you beat him up ? rafe : well , no , but -- john : see , that 's the difference . sorry , kid , but you got a history . you 're not leaving me with any choice here , so why do n't you stand up , put your hands behind your back ? let 's go . [ handcuffs clinking ] john : let 's go . maggie : mad at yourself ? honey , why ? daniel : well , i 'm guessing because i never -- never knew melanie growing up , and i 've been determined since she came into my life just to protect her , you know , make sure no one hurt her again . maggie : i can understand why you feel that way , but , daniel , melanie 's an adult now . daniel : oh , i know that , but that does n't mean she does n't need her dad , does it ? maggie : no , but -- daniel : i just feel like i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm not doing enough , like i 'm letting her down . maggie : but you 're not . you never will . you 're supportive and loving of both of your children , but there will come a time , as a parent , when you 're gon na have to accept that your children will eventually need to find their own way and make their own choices . and that 's the best you can do , aside from loving them , of course , is to be there for them . daniel : like you are for me . maggie : yeah . brady : `` happy `` had become a word that i did n't use anymore . forgot what it meant . and then i look at you . it all comes back to me . i am very ... very happy . melanie : me too . so what are you doing tonight ? brady : i do n't have any plans . melanie : no plans . brady : none . melanie : that 's so crazy . brady : that 's an amazing coincidence , is n't it ? melanie : right , that 's -- brady : what do you want to do ? melanie : do you want to go on a date ? brady : i want to go on a date . theresa : brady looks good on paper , so everybody assumes that he 's a catch . anne : hot and rich -- works for me . theresa : oh , yeah ? anne : mm - hmm . theresa : then how come it never worked out for brady and anybody ? anne : i do n't know , honey . theresa : well , you know what ? that 's his problem , not mine , and this new guy , clint -- anne : oh , druggie , criminal clint ? theresa : there 's no way that he could be worse for me than brady . clint : hey , it 's clint . i 've been doing more than keeping my eye on the donovan broad . i 've made contact ... if you get what i mean . no . we do n't have a thing to worry about , and if something happens , i know exactly how to handle the situation . cole : you 're nothing like bev said . you 're actually kind of cool . paige : thank you , i guess . cole : i should probably apologize for that too , being so wrong about you , i mean . weird how you think you can know people , but you do n't at all . paige : yeah . i know exactly what you mean . eve : we may hate each other , jj , but we both care about paige . jj : what does that mean ? i asked you what you were gon na do about paige and cole . eve : i got to go . jj : you know what ? no , i need an answer here . this is a disaster waiting to happen , and the only one that can stop it is you . eve : if that boy is anything like you ... i can handle it . jj : what , are you gon na have sex with him too ? eve : [ scoffs ]

<s>[INST] daniel : [ laughing ] melanie : um ... well , brady and i are gon na start dating each other . daniel : [ laughing ] melanie : why are you laughing ? daniel : that -- wow ! i -- oh , my -- i love you so much . i was kind of in a bad mood , and you must 've seen that , and you just said the craziest , most insane thing you could really think of , and that just -- you were serious . theresa : to sum it up , hooking up with you was the worst mistake i 've ever made in my entire -- brady : okay , look , i get it . i get it . good luck to you , and have fun screwing up your life more than you already have , theresa . we 're done . theresa : [ breathing heavily ] brady : hey . theresa , are you -- hey , are you okay ? theresa : [ breathing heavily ] jj : what the hell you doing talking to her ? cole : i 'm just talking to her , dude . chill . paige : jj , leave him alone . cole : let me go , deveraux . paige : [ gasps ] ben : i had to talk t down this morning . abigail : really ? why ? ben : yeah , he thinks that new club that just opened might eventually steal our business ... and people here might start getting laid off . abigail : t has nothing to worry about . he and sonny are really close , and you are not getting laid off . ben : i do n't know how you could be so sure about that . abigail : i do . sonny really likes you , and chad is dating your sister . jordan : rafe . what do you think you 're doing ? rafe : i 'm sorry . i thought that you -- jordan : you thought what ? that you could walk in here , be sympathetic about clyde , and that would make it okay to take advantage ? rafe : no , i 'm sorry , jordan . i was n't try to take advantage . jordan : look , i do n't know what you were trying to do , okay ? but let me make something really clear . it is over between us . i am with chad now . ben : just because chad 's dating jordan does n't mean that he wo n't go after me . abigail : well , if he does , she 's not gon na be very happy . ben : yeah , but he did it before , and the one who ended up getting a lecture from her was me . to be honest , i 'd rather just lose my job than have chad in her life . abigail : well , if that happens , then the good news is , you get to be a full- time student at salem u. i mean , i 'm sure your dad would love to -- ben : oh , no , no , just forget that idea . i 'd rather get a loan than take another penny from clyde . abigail : right , yeah . no , i understand . all right , i have to get to work . ben : all right . oh , excuse me . cole : leave me the hell alone . jj : what 's the matter , big man ? you ca n't take it ? paige : no , i ca n't take it , all right ? jj : this guy 's a loser . why are you even talking to him , paige ? paige : i can talk to anybody i want you , jj . do n't you ever try to tell me what to do . jj : i just think that -- paige : what ? what ? do n't you get it ? i do n't care what you think . melanie : i 'm actually serious . dad , brady and i are ... daniel : what ? melanie : i do n't know . daniel : what exactly -- what do you mean you do n't know ? melanie : this just kind of happened . daniel : kind of happ -- well , what exactly -- melanie : nothing , nothing . not that -- that -- nothing 's happened yet . daniel : okay . melanie : brady 's been my best friend forever . i 've known him longer than i 've known you . daniel : right . melanie : okay , so then it -- it changed a little bit . daniel : changed ? wh -- when ? melanie : i do n't -- new year 's eve , i guess . so obviously nothing 's even happened . daniel : okay , but you -- you -- you want it to . melanie : well , it 's a possibility , so -- and the second i realized that , i wanted to let you know , which is what i 'm doing right now . i 'm letting you know . so what do you think ? daniel : what do i think ? are you out of your mind ? theresa : [ breathing heavily ] eve : what 's wrong with her ? brady : i have no idea . she just started breathing really heavily and acting like this . eve : what 's going on , hon ? theresa : i - i - i do n't know . i - i - i saw something . i -- eve : well , what was it ? brady : i was here . i do n't know what she saw to make her act like this . theresa : [ sighs ] eve : theresa , come on . can you tell us what it was ? theresa : no , i just -- i do n't know . this is jim . rafe : jordan . jordan , you 're right . i was out of line just now , and i apologize . but you and chad ? that is a big mistake . jordan : you do n't like him because his last name is dimera . rafe : i do n't like him because i know for a fact that you ca n't trust him . abe : this is the fourth incident down on the docks in a month . john : yeah , riverfront 's a hard area to patrol . abe : i 'm gon na have to find a way to increase police presence there , which makes me even happier that you took me up on my offer . i 'm gon na miss rafe , but this does take some of the sting out . john : well , i hope i can live up to his reputation . abe : [ chuckles ] well , i think there 's a pretty good chance . so does marlena know about this ? john : mm - hmm . abe : she 's okay with it ? john : actually , partner , she 's the one that encouraged me to do it . chad : so ... things are still going well with you and abigail , i see . ben : why would n't they be ? chad : true . why would n't they be ? so much has changed , you know , since abigail and i were together . i was her first , and now , well , she 's obviously had a lot more experience . ben : not one more word , dimera . melanie : why would you ask me if i 'm out of my mind ? this is brady we 're talking about . it 's not like i 'm talking about philip or chad . i 'm not talking about chad . i would 've thought that you would 've liked brady . daniel : no , i more than like him . i grew up knowing him because of victor , and now we have maggie in common . i mean , the guy is like a brother to me . melanie : okay , so what 's the problem ? daniel : you left to be with your mother after the explosion . you do n't know what brady went through after his fiancée died that night . melanie : okay . he told me about kristen and theresa . daniel : well , there you go . melanie : so i got to be better for him than they were . daniel : no , honey , honey , it 's not you . i 'm not worried about you being good for brady . believe me . i 'm worried about brady being good for you right now . theresa : would you two just knock it off , all right ? i am f - fine . brady : are you sure ? theresa : yeah . i 'll be fine as soon as you leave . you want to know what 's bothering me , eve ? it was him . i told him that it was over , and he just wo n't leave me alone . [ sighs ] eve : okay , well , i think maybe you should go . brady : with pleasure . eve : theresa , why do n't you tell me what 's really going on here ? theresa : what are you doing here , eve ? i know you 're not looking for me . eve : well , i just had a little shopping to do . paige needs some new boots , so ... theresa : oh , yeah ? she ca n't just flap her angel wings and fly over the snow drifts ? eve : obviously you do n't feel like talking right now . theresa : no , no , sure i do . we could bond . we could talk about something meaningful , but , unfortunately , i have to meet somebody , okay ? eve : who , a guy ? theresa : you know what ? it is none of your business who i see . i was just wondering maybe you had a new guy in your life . theresa : why ? why do you care ? eve : well , believe it or not , theresa , i actually do care about you . theresa : yeah , well , stop . why do n't you care about somebody else ? why do n't you worry about your precious daughter ? paige : stop sticking your nose into my life , jj . we 're done because that 's the way you wanted it , okay ? so what i do now is none of your business . jj : come on , paige . you know cole . he tried to plant drugs on you . paige : no , bev put him up to that because she wanted you , and i never saw you doing much to discourage her . jj : you know what ? i know what i 've done . this is n't about me . it 's him . paige : well , at least i know what cole 's all about , which is more than i can say for you . you know , i was so sure i knew you , but you -- you totally had me fooled . jj : cole , he 's -- he 's nothing but a player , paige . paige : who are you to talk ? you know , if you want someone who cares what you think , why do n't you go find that girl you hooked up with ... and leave me alone ? daniel : okay , okay , i admit . i probably do n't think any guy is good enough for you . melanie : okay , but this is brady we 're talking about . daniel : yeah , it is , and i think it 's too soon for him to be in a relationship with anybody , especially one that could really hurt him if it does n't work out . melanie : why ? daniel : because he 's been sober for less than a year , and staying that way has to be his top priority . melanie : it is . daniel : okay , he 's older than you . he 's older than you . melanie : are you -- in years , maybe , but not experience . have you forgotten how i grew up ? daniel : no , i have not , although i try not to think about it . baby -- melanie : all right , okay , look , but listen , i -- daniel : what ? melanie : i was just thrown out of a casino a couple months ago . that had to have aged me a little bit . daniel : are you looking at this realistically ? melanie : yes , i am . daniel : no , you 're not ! melanie : dad , stop . this happened out of nowhere , but i really think that there 's a chance that we could make each other happy . daniel : okay , do you love him ? melanie : do i love him ? daniel : yes . melanie : i do n't know . i do n't know , but he does n't either , dad , so what 's wrong with trying to figure that out ? look , okay , all right , just come sit over here . after chad -- dad , look , please ? after chad , i put my heart away in storage for a long time , and it 's been a while since i 've felt this way about a guy . we 're going slow . we both are . so is brady . i mean , it almost did n't even happen . daniel : but now it is . melanie : well , yeah , we discussed it , and we decided it was worth the risk . we just did n't want to hide it from anybody . daniel : in this town ? could n't do that if you wanted to . melanie : yeah , no kidding . daniel : yeah , well , which one of you is going to tell -- tell maggie ? melanie : oh , she already knows . she walked in on us .... kissing . she walked in on us kissing . chill . so now you know , and maggie knows . those are the only two people whose opinion i care about . we 're not gon na do anything crazy . i promise , okay ? we have n't even been on a real date yet , okay ? this could all be over before , you know , it begins . but if you like somebody , you 're supposed to give it a shot , right ? daniel : [ sighs ] yeah . melanie : thank you . daniel : no , do n't be thanking me and looking at me like that . melanie : i 'm -- i wo n't keep anything from you again . i promise . daniel : oh , my god . eve : i know what you 're doing , miss thing . theresa : and what 's that ? eve : mm - hmm . getting the attention off yourself by getting me going about my daughter . theresa : you know , she came to see me today . did she tell you that ? oh , she did n't , did she ? yeah , she wanted to know if i 'd been with jj lately . eve : really ? theresa : yeah . you know what ? your baby girl might be book smart , but she is life dumb if she thinks i 'd ever hang out with that loser again . eve : i do n't know why she would even be asking about jj . theresa : oh , please , eve . eve : she broke it off with him . theresa : do n't kid yourself . she 's got jj on the brain . she 's still hung up on him as ever . eve : you know what ? i 've got some errands to run , but are you okay ? theresa : yes , i 'm fine . why would n't i be ? eve : because you 're acting just a little bit crazy , even for you . oh , gosh . theresa : okay . what did weird me out ? hey , you 're back . clint : i saw you talking to yourself . you okay ? theresa : for your information , i have never been better . paige : i think you should go . i 'm really sorry about that . cole : me and your boyfriend -- we hate each other now , but i was n't trying to get you -- paige : no , do n't worry about it , and he 's not my boyfriend . cole : he 's not ? paige : not anymore . brady : i guess melanie talked to you . daniel : yeah , she did , and now you and i need to get a few things straight . rafe : look me in the eye . look me in the eye and tell me that you trust him . jordan : i trust him , and i am sick of you making me feel like i 'm too dumb to make the right choices for myself . rafe : i do n't think that you 're dumb , jordan ... not at all . i think you 're a good person . you 're just being conned by a pro , and you 're gon na end up getting hurt . jordan : i can take care of myself . and for the record , nothing chad does could possibly hurt me more than you did . rafe : jordan ... chad : i do not get why you 're so upset , benny . ben : you talk to me about your sex life with abigail , and you wonder why i 'm upset . chad : come on , i was paying abigail a compliment . i have nothing but good things to say about her ... and jordan . but from my experience , abigail is n't nearly as good as your sister is in bed . john : come here . hey , knock it off . knock it off . what the hell 's going on here ? chad : [ coughs ] john : what the hell is going on here ? chad : i was just trying to talk to him , and he started swinging . ben : you lying bastard . abe : hey , you got to get looked at by a doctor . come on . chad : you know , rafe warned you that if you did n't get that temper under control , you 'd get in trouble . ben : you son of a bitch . john : stop it , stop it . there 's been other incidents ? chad : yeah , you do n't believe me , talk to rafe . abe : all right , come on , i 'm gon na get you -- hey , hey . just keep him back . keep him back . john : stop it , it 's over . knock it off . it 's over . stop it . maggie : so you told your dad ? how 'd it go ? melanie : he was surprised . maggie : yeah , i 'm sure of it . melanie : i think i made him feel better about it , though . i know i did . maggie : so you think it went well ? melanie : yeah . yeah , really well . brady : you look pretty upset . daniel : yeah , yeah , really did n't see that one coming . brady : neither did we . daniel : that 's what melanie said . look , i love you . i would do anything for you . and i appreciate the fact that you 've been working hard to put your life back together , so if you and melanie think that this could be a good thing ... i wo n't get in the way . brady : daniel , that -- that means a lot to me . daniel : let me finish . i 'll keep my word . i know better than to get between the two of you , but before you get into this , you should know one thing . if you break melanie 's heart or if you hurt her even a little bit , you will have to deal with me . brady : i know . you do n't even have to say it . daniel : i think i do . brady : you 're protective of your daughter . i respect it . but i 've known melanie a long time too . she 's a dear friend of mine . i 'm protective of her as well . i will never hurt her . daniel : i 'm gon na hold you to that . clint : do you have to get back to work ? theresa : uh , technically , yes , but you know what ? suddenly i 'm just not feeling so well . maybe i should call in sick . clint : sounds good to me . anne : there you are . theresa : what are you doing here ? anne : i 'm looking for you . you know you 're still on the clock at the hospital ? somebody is gon na catch on . theresa : ca n't you just tell them that i got sick and i went home on my lunch break ? anne : theresa , you do n't want to lose this job , okay ? clint : did you hear what the lady said ? she 's not going back . theresa : uh , you know what ? anne 's right . i should probably head back to the hospital , um , but i 'll catch you later , right ? clint : yeah , later . theresa : great . so you ready to head back to the hospital ? anne : you need a mental hospital . seriously , what is wrong with you ? are you out of your mind that you would spend more than two minutes with that goon ? get out of here . come on . cole : looks like things changed pretty fast while i was in rehab . i thought you and jj were tight . paige : we were , and now we 're not . cole : what happened ? he hook up with somebody else ? paige : how did you know ? cole : i did n't , but i know jj . [ line trilling ] [ cell phone ringing ] eve : what do you want ? jj : we have to talk right now in person . eve : why ? what 's going on ? jj : i 'll tell you when i see you . eve : look , i ca n't be seen with you . jj : well , then i 'll come to your place . eve : no . jj : all right , look , then you 're gon na come to my house . nobody 's home . park down the street , and you 're gon na go through the back door . eve : are you sure nobody 's there ? jj : yes , my mom and sister are gone . nobody 's home , and if anyone shows up , just say that you came by to let me have it . trust me , they 'll buy it . eve : i do n't like this . jj : just do it . i 'll see you there in five minutes . with psoriatic arthritis , i had intense joint pain that got worse and worse . chad : thank you . abigail : chad , we just found out you were here . jordan : what 's wrong ? what happened ? chad : your brother . john : thanks for coming by , rafe . rafe : [ sighs ] yeah , what 's going on ? john : yeah , looks like i 'm gon na have to run him in . rafe : why ? john : i do n't know . abe and i were having a cup of coffee , and then ben here just starts beating the hell out of chad dimera . rafe : oh , ben ... what 'd you do that for ? ben : he said something i did n't like . rafe : which was what ? ben : does it matter ? john : chad claims he 's done it before , and you know all about it , so what say you ? maggie : what happened with daniel ? melanie : he thinks brady has n't been sober long enough . maggie : that 's true . current wisdom says a person should stay sober at least a year before making any serious life decisions . melanie : right , but he 's been -- he 's been doing so well . should n't he get time off for good behavior ? maggie : the tincture of time is what brady needs right now . melanie : i so very much respect what you 're saying . i do , but i care just as much about brady 's sobriety as he does . maggie : honey , i know your heart is in the right place , and i know how much you care about brady . melanie : he 's my best friend . i mean , he 's been there for me through philip and through losing the baby . i mean , besides you and my dad and parker and my mom , he 's the most important person in the world to me . i would never do something to hurt him or disappoint you . maggie : i 'm worried about that right there . and as far as you disappointing me , that 's not possible . anne : theresa , after a guy like brady black and paul narita , how do you settle for this creep ? theresa : he 's fun . anne : sure he is , if you define `` fun `` as , like , a druggie , loser control freak with obvious anger - management issues . theresa : okay , fine , look , he 's not paul or brady . you know what ? right now he is the perfect guy for me . anne : [ sighs ] cole : you were right to dump jj . i was with bev when we first met him , and he started coming on to her from day one , even though he was n't into her that much . did n't matter to her , though . pretty soon , she was all about him . you know , he took her away from me just because he could . it 's how the guy operates . paige : cole , i really do n't want to hear this , okay ? jj : took you long enough . eve : you know paige has been grilling theresa , trying to find out if she 's seen you lately , jj ? jj : and who told you that -- theresa ? she 's just stirring up trouble . eve : no , no , no , she has an amazing radar for that kind of stuff . she also says that paige is still very much into you , and she wants to know and trying to find out who you 've been sleeping with . jj : well , that 's not the biggest problem you have to worry about right now . eve : oh , really ? then what is ? jj : well , i saw paige with a guy named cole . eve : what were they doing , jj ? jj : talking . eve : about what ? jj : what difference does that make ? she should n't be in the same room with that guy . eve : oh , my god , they were talking , jj . it 's not like they 're dating . jj : well , you have to stop this before it goes any -- eve : just calm down . i 'm -- i 'm getting out of here . jj : no , no , listen . you got to listen to me , okay ? i know that you think that i 'm the scum of the earth , and i probably am , but this guy -- he 's much worse , eve , even if he 's not related to my mom . eve : okay , what 's wrong with him ? jj : okay , for starters , he 's a drug dealer and is a user . he just got out of rehab . he 's clean right now , but that will not last . eve : hmm , maybe you 're just saying all this to turn me against this boy because he actually likes my daughter . jj : okay , you think i 'm bad for her ? eve : mm - hmm . jj : when he first met her , he tried to plant drugs on her . eve : she never said anything to me about that . jj : like she would ? eve : well , maybe you 're making it up , jj . jj : no , for god 's sake , i know you hate me , but you need to hate him more right now . you need to watch out for your daughter , eve . eve : i got you out of her life , did n't i ? hmm ? jj : you know what ? none of this is paige 's fault , but she can be the one that pays the price . she does n't listen to a word that i say anymore , and i do n't blame her , but she still listens to you , so you need to step up , damn it , and be the mother that you say she deserves . you ca n't let her get hurt again , and with this guy , it 'll be much worse . do you hear what i 'm saying to you ? eve : [ sighs ] i 'll take care of him . jj : swear it . eve : i swear . cole : i did n't mean to start in on jj . i guess it was my way of talking about me . paige : what about you ? cole : since i got out of rehab , i 've been doing this thing where i 'm trying to tell the people i hurt when i was using that i 'm sorry . it 's not a lot of fun . god . my mom . but the point is , what i was trying to say when jj came in is that i 'm sorry i tried to plant drugs on you . all i know is i 've got to find a way to start over again . it 's not easy trying to fit in . it 's like there really is n't a place for me anywhere . paige : that must be really hard . cole : yeah , it is . paige : give it some time . i have to go . cole : sure . paige : are you okay ? cole : yeah , i 'm cool . you go ahead . i should probably get going too . you know , it 's just -- paige : what ? cole : i do n't really know where to go . i ca n't stay at home all the time . i 'll go nuts . and i ca n't hang with rory and bev and that whole crowd . they all hate me anyway after i narked on rory and jj last year . paige : you can make new friends , ca n't you ? cole : who ? all the good kids -- they do n't like me either . i think they 're bunch of stuck - up losers . paige : so what do you do ? cole : well , this app on my phone , this really cool voice , it takes the stuff i write and turns it into a song . paige : [ stammers ] how does it work ? cole : here . like , i go ... i know this girl named paige . she 's way too cool to be my age . [ phone beeps ] [ electronic music playing ] paige : oh , that 's awesome . cole : you 're putting me on . paige : no , no , i 'm really not . theresa : you know what ? i am sick of trying to be good enough for guys like brady . at least clint likes me for who i am . anne : mm - hmm . for how long ? theresa : i do n't care if it 's just for today . and you know what ? maybe it 's better that way . anne : okay , and what does he do for a living , this clint person ? he does n't seem like the corporate type to me . theresa : i do n't know , and you know what ? i do n't actually care . anne : okay , well , as long as he does n't start borrowing money from you , t . theresa : well , you know what ? at least he 's not flaky like paul narita . anne : yeah , or good - looking and loaded like brady black , god forbid . theresa : actually , the fact that he is not like brady at all is what turns me on the most about him . melanie : hi . brady : hi . talked to your dad . melanie : yeah , i had a feeling he was headed over here . how 'd that go ? brady : about as well as can be expected , i guess . he did n't seem too happy . melanie : how about you ? are you happy ? daniel : i talked to -- talked to brady . maggie : you angry with him ? daniel : a little , yeah , but he 's not the one i 'm really mad at . maggie : melanie ? daniel : no . no , i 'm just mad at myself . rafe : ben , i do n't like chad dimera any more than you do . he goes around town , pressing people 's buttons . god knows he 's pressed mine , but you have got to find a better way to react to all this . i warned you . i warned you what would happen if you got into another fight with him . john : so you do have a history . rafe : is dimera pressing charges ? ben : of course he is . he finally got what he 's been trying to get all this time . jordan : ben did this to you ? chad : it 's not like it has n't happened before . except this time , he just lost it . abigail : so -- so ben just started punching you for no reason at all ? chad : what is that supposed to mean ? abigail : that i 'm wondering what you said to him . chad : look , i was just trying to start a conversation . i think we all know that it does n't take a lot to set the guy off . abe : well , chad , i just spoke to the doctor , and you may have a concussion , but he does n't really think so , and there are no broken ribs . chad : looks like i got off easy , then , huh ? abe : well , there 's one more thing to take care of . do you plan on pressing charges ? abigail : abe , i 'm sure that there 's a reasonable explanation -- chad : no , look , i 'm sorry , abigail , but , no , this has happened between him and me one too many times . your boyfriend needs to learn a lesson . jordan : chad , please , i will talk to ben . chad : no , i 'm pressing charges . rafe : john . john : yeah . rafe : i 'll bet anything that chad dimera provoked this fight . john : why do you say that ? rafe : 'cause he 's done the same thing to me . john : yeah , did you beat him up ? rafe : well , no , but -- john : see , that 's the difference . sorry , kid , but you got a history . you 're not leaving me with any choice here , so why do n't you stand up , put your hands behind your back ? let 's go . [ handcuffs clinking ] john : let 's go . maggie : mad at yourself ? honey , why ? daniel : well , i 'm guessing because i never -- never knew melanie growing up , and i 've been determined since she came into my life just to protect her , you know , make sure no one hurt her again . maggie : i can understand why you feel that way , but , daniel , melanie 's an adult now . daniel : oh , i know that , but that does n't mean she does n't need her dad , does it ? maggie : no , but -- daniel : i just feel like i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm not doing enough , like i 'm letting her down . maggie : but you 're not . you never will . you 're supportive and loving of both of your children , but there will come a time , as a parent , when you 're gon na have to accept that your children will eventually need to find their own way and make their own choices . and that 's the best you can do , aside from loving them , of course , is to be there for them . daniel : like you are for me . maggie : yeah . brady : `` happy `` had become a word that i did n't use anymore . forgot what it meant . and then i look at you . it all comes back to me . i am very ... very happy . melanie : me too . so what are you doing tonight ? brady : i do n't have any plans . melanie : no plans . brady : none . melanie : that 's so crazy . brady : that 's an amazing coincidence , is n't it ? melanie : right , that 's -- brady : what do you want to do ? melanie : do you want to go on a date ? brady : i want to go on a date . theresa : brady looks good on paper , so everybody assumes that he 's a catch . anne : hot and rich -- works for me . theresa : oh , yeah ? anne : mm - hmm . theresa : then how come it never worked out for brady and anybody ? anne : i do n't know , honey . theresa : well , you know what ? that 's his problem , not mine , and this new guy , clint -- anne : oh , druggie , criminal clint ? theresa : there 's no way that he could be worse for me than brady . clint : hey , it 's clint . i 've been doing more than keeping my eye on the donovan broad . i 've made contact ... if you get what i mean . no . we do n't have a thing to worry about , and if something happens , i know exactly how to handle the situation . cole : you 're nothing like bev said . you 're actually kind of cool . paige : thank you , i guess . cole : i should probably apologize for that too , being so wrong about you , i mean . weird how you think you can know people , but you do n't at all . paige : yeah . i know exactly what you mean . eve : we may hate each other , jj , but we both care about paige . jj : what does that mean ? i asked you what you were gon na do about paige and cole . eve : i got to go . jj : you know what ? no , i need an answer here . this is a disaster waiting to happen , and the only one that can stop it is you . eve : if that boy is anything like you ... i can handle it . jj : what , are you gon na have sex with him too ? eve : [ scoffs ]Summarize.[/INST]theresa had a reaction when she saw a baby . brady wanted to make sure she was okay . chad saw rafe and jordan kissing . she stopped them from kissing and reminded him that she 's with chad . daniel was n't happy about melanie and brady dating . eve asked brady what was wrong with theresa . rafe apologized for kissing jordan , but he thought she should n't be with chad . she did n't care what he thought . daniel was worried about brady being with melanie because of his addiction . jj got into a fight with cole when he saw him talking to paige . paige was furious with jj for interfering in her business . daniel continued to tell melanie about his reservations about her being with brady . melanie fought daniel on them being together until he caved .</s>

show me what you 're working with , show me how you do it yeah lola : because not having sex is hurting you way more than you 'll have to admit . kyle : and whether we talk about it or not , it 's creating a distance between us . nikki : christine . there wo n't be any trial today . i have something to tell you . christine : nikki , if you 're just trying to stall ... nikki : no , i 'm not . you need to hear what i have to say . victor : sweetheart , everything is going to be all right . nikki : yes . it will . you ca n't do this . my husband is innocent . rey : get him in the car . nikki : no ! you 're arresting the wrong person ! nick : mom , please . victoria : you 're making things worse . michael : do n't say any more . nikki : i can not stand by another minute and watch my husband be punished for something he did n't do . victor : nikki , do n't do this . jack : you and the polar bears out there this morning , huh ? kyle : yeah . jack : you know i believe in exercise , but i ca n't help wondering if frostbite might negate the benefits of swimming in sub - zero temperatures . kyle : yeah , the pool 's heated , and i needed to blow off some steam . jack : what 's wrong ? problems at work ? kyle : it 's lola . i think it 's over between us . fen : hi , um , i just wanted to say thank you -- ana : [ sighs ] fen : look , ana , i know you 're pissed at me . ana : you think ? fen : look , i get it , okay ? i screwed up big - time , but , i swear , this will never happen again . ana : you 're right about that . fen : wait a minute , you 're not saying that ... ana : that devon 's gon na fire you ? fen : look , i can make this right , okay ? if you just give me another chance ... ana : it 's not up to me . fen : listen , you 're the one who believed in me from the very beginning . okay ? all i 'm asking is do n't stop . okay ?

kyle : between her pop - up stand and getting ready for abby 's restaurant , i doubt she has time to talk to me . jack : oh , come on , you do n't believe that . kyle : lola 's career is one of the main reasons there 's been so much tension between us lately . jack : you knew going into this how important her work was to her . this is the opportunity of a lifetime . of course this is gon na be her top priority . kyle : i know ! and i love the way she 's gone after it . she 's never done anything close to this , but she went into it with this fearlessness and confidence and a sense of herself that blows me away . she has this passion for what she does that 's so honest and real , and it makes me want to be around her all the time . jack : i 'd say that 's worth fighting for . kyle : [ sighs ] jack : and what better time than valentine 's week to prove to her just how much she means to you ? kyle : any suggestions ? jack : always . um , jewelry ? always nice . a trip to new york . take in a few shows . kyle : spending money is not the way to impress lola . whatever i do , it has to come from the heart . jack : i have just the thing . fen : i know ! i screwed up ! ana : i believed in you . i fought for you , and this is how you repay me ? by blowing off an event that was set up just to showcase you . fen : i did n't -- ana : you , fen ! fen : i did n't blow it off ! okay ? i was -- i was dealing with some personal stuff . ana : do n't bs me ! fen : look , what 's the big problem ? you stepped in . everyone got to see how great you are . ana : this is n't about me . or devon . it 's about you ! and how selfish and unprofessional you are ! do you have any idea how many singers would kill for the opportunity you 've been given ? fen : i 'm a jerk ! i get it ! okay ? i ca n't lose this , ana . i mean , singing ... it 's the only thing i 've ever wanted to do . and when you asked me to record your song , and suddenly people were downloading it and streaming it ... you know , it all happened really fast . and i guess it just went to my head . ana : if you went into this just for the money or the fame ... fen : i didn't . i did n't , i swear . all right ? music means just as much to me as it does to you . and i know i 'm gon na have to work really hard if i 'm gon na make a career out of this , and i 'm willing to do that . so will you just -- talk to devon ? please , ana . rey : you killed j.t . ? michael : nikki , not another word . christine : that 's good advice , nikki . victor : christine , this is your fault , okay ? this is an obnoxious abuse of power , to come here and put handcuffs on me in front of my family . christine : this is a high - profile case . we 're just following procedure . victor : really ? nikki : this has gone on far too long . too many people have been hurt , and i need to put an end to it . michael : all right , nikki , let 's go into another room and discuss this . victor : that 's a good idea . nikki : victor ! i can not let this go on . i ca n't stand by and watch you be accused of a crime i committed ! victor : look , she 's obviously trying to help me , okay ? nikki : you , sir , suspected me from the very beginning . rey : suspicion is n't proof . nikki : remember that day you saw me at the park after you found j.t . 's watch ? rey : yeah . you own chancellor park . pipe was busted . it would make sense that you would be there . nikki : i was n't there because of a plumbing problem . michael : nikki , not another word , i mean it ! look , this -- this obviously changes everything . victor : it does n't change a damn thing . christine : could what nikki 's saying be true ? rey : we have run a thorough investigation , included all the possibilities , including the fact that nikki could have somehow had something to do with hellstrom 's death . christine : yeah , and we concluded that all evidence pointed to victor . rey : even before we got the recording of him practically confessing . christine : if nikki testifies that she killed j.t . , it 's gon na be really difficult to prove that victor 's guilty , and , my god , if she 's telling the truth ... rey : no one wants an innocent man to go to prison . christine : what a mess . michael : okay , you are all to keep your mouth shut , understand ? nikki : michael , i already -- michael : not a peep from any of you . nick : we understand . michael : oh , christine , so , um , how do you plan to proceed ? christine : in light of this new information , i think it would in everyone 's best interest if we postponed victor 's trial . nikki : [ sighs ] thank god . thank god . christine : victor will remain on bail under house arrest , nikki will be brought in for questioning . victoria : is she under arrest ? christine : considering she just confessed to a murder , we have no other choice . rey : give me your cuffs .

summer : yeah , the one that you were running late for ? fen : yeah , uh , well , by the time i showed up , it was practically over , and devon and ana were super pissed , and now she thinks he 's gon na fire me . summer : wait , because you missed one promotional event ? fen : this was a huge deal for lp . i mean , devon put his reputation on the line for me , and ... i made him look stupid in front of a lot of really important dudes . i mean , it was n't -- it was n't cool . summer : okay , but people make mistakes . who does n't ? but you 're good . fen : yeah . apparently , that 's not enough . summer : i guess it depends on how much you want it . fen : i want it more than anything , i really do , which ... makes me an even bigger idiot . i mean , i had this big shot , and i blew it over a girl who 's not even interested in me . summer : fen , i like you . but i have to be straight with you . i was just using you to make kyle jealous . fen : it 's good , seriously . do n't feel bad.-yeah , i was just using you to make lola jealous and to screw with kyle . summer : oh . fen : this whole thing is messed up . you know , me and kyle and this stupid competition with each other . summer : yeah . yeah , well , i guess i played my part in it , too . fen : no . no , this is all me . summer : um , well , what if there was a way that i could make it up to you ? fen : what ? summer , please -- summer : devon ! hi ! devon : summer ! how you doing ? hey ! heard you were back in town . what 's going on ? summer : yeah , um .... can i talk to you for a minute ? devon : we 're actually kind of in a rush right now . summer : i promise it 's not gon na take long at all . devon : okay . sure . hey . fen : hey . devon : what would you guys like to talk about ? jack : the key to solving all your problems . kyle : the abbott cabin . jack : isolated , cozy , romantic , free -- all the things you need to win lola back . kyle : [ chuckles ] you think so ? jack : what 's the problem ? kyle : last time i invited lola to the cabin , she turned me down . jack : she does n't like life in the woods ? kyle : that 's what i thought . turns out , she was worried i was taking her there to , uh , you know ... jack : were you ? kyle : not gon na lie , it was on my mind . jack : well , you 'll have to convince her this particular getaway is about more than just ... you know . kyle : i have to convince her it 's not about that at all . jack : so you 're not interested , either . kyle : i 'm very interested . lola isn't . not yet . jack : so , wait , the two of you have never ... ? kyle : she hasn't ... ever . jack : okay . kyle : [ sighs ] she 's waiting . jack : you okay with that ? kyle : it 's ... new territory for me . jack : so no . kyle : but i 'm trying to be understanding and patient . jack : but it 's starting to be an issue . kyle : it 's what we fought about . that 's why it 's so important i show her that i care about more than just that . i want her to know she 's what matters . her heart and soul , the amazing person she is . how do i do that ? jack : well , let 's think about it . um , we , uh ... we string lights around all the trees around the cabin , twinkling lights . when you go to the cabin , stop in town you know the old general store there ? kyle : yeah . jack : park there . go inside , get all the supplies you need , including the makings for a very simple but lovely dinner . kyle : [ scoffs ] me , cook for her ? jack : she will love it , trust me . kyle : if i do n't kill her . jack : i will have a horse - drawn sleigh waiting for you when you get to the cabin . kyle : you do n't think that 's too much ? jack : nothing over - the - top . i 'll insist . it 's charming and simple and rustic . kyle : perfect . you 're killing it , dad . jack : i still got a few tricks up my sleeve . kyle : huh . i 'm gon na steal one . remember that invitation you sent kerry for thanksgiving ? i want to make one like that for lola . jack : i hope it works as well for you as it did for me . kyle : mm . i 'll even hand - deliver it so she knows i 'm serious . no cost involved whatsoever . jack : there we have it , a man with a plan . kyle : uh - huh . operation `` win back lola `` is hereby launched . jack : [ chuckles ] [ cellphone chimes ] jack : oh ! kyle : we 're a go . devon : thank you . summer : yeah . ana : thank you . devon : ana and i actually have some business to discuss with fen . summer : oh , good . good . um , i 'm glad because i heard that you were thinking about dropping him from your label , which would be a really huge mistake . devon : well , i appreciate your input , summer , but -- summer : devon , please , you just have to hear me out . fen : this was n't my idea . devon : okay . i 'll hear you out . summer : okay , um , look , i know that you guys are really mad at fen because he missed a super - important promotional event . ana : he was supposed to be our featured performer . summer : i know , and it sucks that he was a no - show , but that is on me , 100 % . devon : i do n't know how you figure that because fen 's a grown man , and he 's responsible for his own decisions , right ? summer : he is , totally , and he decided to put me ahead of himself . okay , i was having a major crisis , and instead of just bailing on me to promote his singing , he decided to stay with me . and he knew what it could cost him , but he chose being a friend over his career . devon : and why did n't you tell me this before , fen ? summer : because fen does n't make excuses , and i can not let you guys think that he just bailed on you because he did n't care , okay ? i pulled him into my own crap , and i would just really -- i would just hate to see him lose his dream because of that . devon : well , the thing is , is , you know , in life , you have to live with the choices you make . summer : yes , and that 's the biggest irony of it all , is that i do n't even think fen regrets what he did . that 's just the kind of guy he is . devon : it 's nice of you , fen , but it 's gon na take a bit more than that to be successful in the music business . summer : okay , well , fen has the rest . you know , he 's -- he 's talented , he 's passionate . i mean , he could be a major star . you guys would n't have signed him if you did n't think so . and he was willing to risk all of that for me . he put a friend ahead of himself . i mean , come on , have n't either of you guys ever done that before ? ana : devon , can i talk to you for a minute ? devon : sure . excuse me . summer : yeah . fen : that was incredible . summer : what , you do n't think i 'm capable of doing something nice occasionally ? fen : no , i just -- i just hope it works . rey : okay , so ... you claim ... you killed j.t . hellstrom . nikki : i did kill him . rey : yet you kept quiet for all those months . nikki : i was afraid . rey : you were afraid . no guilt or remorse ? i have felt terrible about what i had done to j.t . , but ... i did what i had to do , what i was forced to do . rey : all right . so , tell me , what happened the night of j.t . 's death ? michael : nikki . you do n't have to say a word . nikki : i have nothing to hide , not anymore . it was the girls ' night at victoria 's house . rey : mm . nikki : victoria , sharon , phyllis , mariah , and me . we were comforting victoria over her break - up with j.t . she got emotional and went upstairs to try to calm down a little bit , and she -- she was gone for a long time , so ... i got worried and , by then , mariah had passed out , so i -- i told sharon and phyllis that i wanted to go up and check on victoria . rey : mm , so you went upstairs alone ? nikki : yes . and as i approached the bedroom , i could hear a lot of yelling and -- and crashing going on inside . so i went in , and j.t . was screaming at her , and he was choking her . and i had tried to get him to stop , and he -- he just threw me off of him , and i landed on the floor by the fireplace . and then i saw the fireplace poker , and i ... i grabbed it , and then i yelled at him to stop it . rey : and ? nikki : and he did . but the look in his eyes ... it was pure hate . rey : then what happened ? nikki : then he left through the window . rey : so you -- you followed him ? nikki : i was most concerned with making sure victoria was okay , that she was all right . and then i promised her that i would protect her , keep her safe . and then she and i went back downstairs to the party , and then , when i felt nobody was really noticing , i slipped out , determined to keep my promise . rey : you took the poker with you ? nikki : for protection . rey : i assume you , uh , tracked down j.t . ? nikki : yes . rey : what happened next ? nick : i do n't think she was planning on confessing . so whatever she 's saying , she 's winging it . victoria : which means she does n't have any idea what she 's going to say , and neither do we . nikki : when i went outside , he was there . he took off on foot , so i followed him to chancellor park . that 's -- that 's where i confronted him . rey : and ? nikki : i told him that i knew what he had done to victor . and to victoria . and he laughed . he said that the police could n't stop him and neither could i , and he vowed to finish what he had started . he said it would be easy because victor was still in the hospital and because victoria was weak . i raise the poker and i told him i wasn't . and he mocked me . he taunted me . he said that i was a coward , just like the rest of my family . and he threatened to just take us all out , one by one , starting with me . well , i -- i knew what he was capable of , and so i raised my poker again , and i told him to back away . but then he lunged at me . and i just swung that poker as hard as i could . and it hit him in the head . i was so stunned when he went down because i -- i did n't mean to hurt him . rey : why did n't you call the police ? nikki : once i realized he was dead , i panicked and ... i did n't think that you would believe that it was in self - defense . rey : so you decided to dig a hole and bury him instead ? nikki : i was already there . the garden we were planting ... i just rolled his body into the dirt , and put more on top of it , and that was it , i left . rey : hoping no one would find out what you did . nikki : make no mistake , i am not proud of what i did . but would n't you protect your family if somebody threatened them ? if somebody hurt your wife or your sister and then threatened to do it again ? would n't you do anything you could to stop them ? rey : let 's take a break . michael : i 'll be right back . detective ! care to share anything ? rey : you believe her ? michael : you really expect me to answer that ? rey : that 's what i thought . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . fen : so , uh , have you guys made a decision ? devon : oh , yes , we have . i do n't know if you 're gon na like it , though . fen : you 're dropping me . devon : all right , fen , i -- i took a big chance when i signed you . fen : no , i know , and i let you down . devon : yes , you did , but ana just went to bat for you . fen : thanks . devon : and luckily she 's not just loyal , she 's smart and she reminded me of all the time and money and energy that we 've already invested into your career . fen : look , i know i have n't said it , but i appreciate everything that you guys have done for me . devon : well , we 're gon na give you one last chance to prove that that 's the truth and to show that you have what it takes to make it in this business . fen : absolutely , yeah . devon : okay . so here 's the deal . here 's what 's gon na happen . we 're gon na send you out on the road , and you 're gon na be opening at small venues for some of our more established artists . i 'm not talking about 10,000-people arenas or partying all night . i 'm talking about real hard work . ana : it 'll give you a chance to learn from some pros and prove yourself . really develop as a musician . devon : that 's right , and after the tour , if it went well , then we will talk about where we go from there with you . is that cool ? fen : i -- summer : give the man an answer . fen : yes ! yes , uh ... thank you . i ca n't believe you 're taking another shot on me , i 'm -- i wo n't -- you wo n't regret this , okay ? thank you . devon : thank ana . fen : thank you . ana : do n't blow it . fen : i wo n't , i swear . devon : all right . it was good to see you . summer : yeah . you , too . fen : oh , my god ! thank you . that was , um ... that was so cool . i -- i feel like i should take you out for dinner or drinks so i can just ... thank you . summer : sure . i mean , um , somewhere expensive will do . fen : yeah ! yeah , uh , well , i mean , maybe tonight or tomorrow , and then we can just -- summer : um , you know , actually , maybe not tonight , but , um , if i do n't see you , have a great tour . let me know how it goes , okay ? good job ! fen : yeah , sure . will do . summer : um , hey . uh , do you want to get coffee ? kyle : i 'm looking for lola . summer : okay , so now you ca n't even be seen talking to me ? i thought you said that she was n't jealous or insecure . kyle : lola 's fine with me talking to other women , just ... summer : mm , not me . kyle : look , it 's valentine 's day tomorrow . i 'm trying to do something special . summer : oh , and three 's a crowd . kyle : well , yeah , it kind of is . summer : okay , well , you can just sit with me while you wait for her . kyle : she 'll be here any minute . summer : okay . [ cellphone chimes ] kyle : [ sighs ] summer : or not . kyle : she 's just running late , that 's all . summer : okay , well , the offer still stands . rey : your son - in - law was wanted for the attempted murder of your husband . i am assuming that victoria was gon na press charges . so why did n't you call the police when j.t . showed up to victoria 's house ? nikki : after i saw him attack her , the only thing i could think about what protecting her . rey : serve and protect . that 's our job . but instead of coming to us , you went after j.t . hellstrom with a fireplace poker ? michael : that was previously stated , so unless you have another question ... nikki : you do n't have any children , do you , detective ? rey : i 'm not sure how that 's relevant . nikki : if you did , you would understand this primal feeling that a parent has to protect their child . reason and logic does n't enter into it . if your child is in danger , you act , and that 's what i did . i did n't think about anything else , i just did what i knew i had to do . rey : and what you had to do was ... stop j.t . ? nikki : i already told you that . michael : i 'd like to state , for the record , that my client 's confession was made at a time when she was under tremendous stress ... nikki : michael , please do n't make excuses for me . i know exactly what i 'm saying . i killed j.t . i acted alone . nobody else helped me . and you can put that on the record . nick : where 's mom ? christine : she 's being questioned . victoria : this is ridiculous . she 's innocent . michael , where 's mom ? i need to -- i need to make sure that she 's okay . mom ! mom , are you okay ? nikki : i 'm okay , sweetheart . rey : we need to get her processed . nick : can we have a few minutes with her ? christine : she ca n't have visitors till tomorrow . nick : tomorrow ? christine : we are doing our job and sticking to protocol . victoria : [ sighs ] nick : they can not keep us from seeing her . michael : we have other things to discuss . like how i was blindsided by your mother 's confession . did either of you have any idea that was she was planning to do this ? victoria : no , we had no idea . michael : is what she 's saying true ? look , if i 'm gon na defend anyone in this family , i need to know what the hell is going on . nick : we do n't know why she confessed . victoria : what did mom say to rey ? michael : you know i ca n't tell you that . that 's privileged information . [ door opens ] rey : i need to ask you some questions . michael : is she under arrest ? rey : no , i just need to verify some elements of nikki 's story . summer : uh , so , did lola say why she was gon na be late ? kyle : it was either because of work or work . between her food truck and the restaurant opening ... it 's always one or the other . summer : well , just cut her some slack , okay ? you know what it 's like to be involved in a big project , wanting to prove yourself , so ... kyle : you 're defending lola ? summer : well , yeah , i mean , i got to admire a woman who 's as determined as she is . i mean , look at the way that she is sticking to this whole `` no sex `` thing . kyle : she made a choice . i respect it . and there 's more to being with someone than having sex . summer : yes , but it is an important part , though . i mean , you used to think so . kyle : it 's not like lola and i are never gon na do it . summer : no , of course . i mean , it 's just ... kyle : what ? summer : i just ca n't help wondering if there is n't something else holding her back besides her principles . summer : no , no , i 'm not . i 'm not . you have given your heart and soul to this relationship . i 'm just wondering if lola 's giving as much as you are . you deserve that . lola : i 'm sorry i 'm late . kyle : i 'm just glad you 're here . i did n't like the way we left things the other night . lola : yeah . me , either . kyle : i wanted to call , but i was n't -- i did n't know if -- [ sighs ] i do n't like the way things have been between us . so ... i wanted to change that . lola : `` please join me for a romantic valentine 's day celebration at the abbott cabin . `` rey : i 'd like to talk to you about the last time you saw j.t . the night of your girls ' party . michael : we 've been through that several times . rey : that was before nikki confessed . michael : still , it does n't change victoria 's statement . rey : well , let 's take a look at that . you said ... j.t . came through the bedroom window , right ? victoria : that 's right . rey : and you gave him cash , $ 700 , then he left ? victoria : yes . rey : how 'd you say he left again ? victoria : the same way that he came in -- through the window . rey : where was your mother when he left ? victoria : should n't you have all of that right there in that book ? rey : nikki 's version is a little different . i thought i might give you a chance of reviewing the events as you now remember them . victoria : my mother 's obviously lying . she 's just confessing to keep my father from going to trial . rey : because she felt guilty ? victoria : because he 's being accused of a crime that he did n't commit . my father was seriously ill in the hospital when j.t . disappeared , so he could n't have done it . rey : well , no one actually really knows when j.t . was murdered , so it could have happened when your father was fully recovered . michael : detective , with due respect , ms . newman has already made a statement about the night j.t . came to her house . so unless you have other questions , we are done . rey : one more thing -- is there a fireplace in your bedroom ? victoria : yes . rey : when was the last time you used it ? victoria : i do n't know . it 's been ages . michael : is that all ? rey : for now . dental insurance . many employers do n't offer it . medicare does n't include it . and people who work for themselves often do n't consider it . but with humana you can still have it . starting at just $ 17 a month . that 's less than 60 cents a day . call today for a free quote . with a humana dental plan you 'll get 100 % coverage for in - network preventive care such as oral exams , cleanings , and x - rays . plus , you 'll save on fillings , crowns and other dental procedures . and you ca n't be turned down because of age or pre- existing conditions . with a large network of dentists and specialists and a variety of affordable plans , you 're sure to find one to fit your family 's needs and budget . plus , humana has vision plans too . with coverage for exams , eye glasses , and more . how much could you save ?

i get that you 're busy , but it 's just a few days . lola : no . it 's not , kyle . it 's so much more than that . kyle : i do n't understand . lola : well , that 's just it . i mean , it 's like you do n't get how big this opportunity is for me . i mean , devon and abby are giving me the chance to make my dreams come true . we 're less than two weeks from opening , and you 're asking me to go on a vacation with you . it 's like you do n't understand . kyle : of course i do ! lola : then you 're not listening to me . kyle : look , i know how much your career means to you . i 'm into mine , too , but if you want to be with somebody , you got to make time for them . lola : maybe you can take off work whenever you want , but i can't . kyle : ca n't or wo n't ? lola : you obviously put a lot of effort into this . kyle : yeah . i was hoping you 'd be willing to do the same . lola : then i guess we 're on different tracks . want different things . kyle : i know what i want . lola : me , too . and i think it 's best that we both admit that and go our separate ways . i -- i 'm sorry , kyle . summer : kyle -- kyle : not now , summer . victor : how 's your mother ? victoria : [ sighs ] they would n't let us talk to her . nick : christine claimed that she needed to be processed , but it was just an excuse to keep mom and vick apart . victoria : they wanted to question me before we could coordinate our stories . victor : what did you tell them ? victoria : i did n't know what to tell them . i just stuck to my original statement . i had no choice because i do n't know what mom told them . nick : they 're gon na want to question sharon and phyllis next . victor : well , we have to warn them . nick : well , phyllis is in chicago on business . she 's not gon na be home till late . and sharon is on a field trip with faith . so calling or texting can be risky . victoria : it 's gon na be impossible to coordinate our stories . this whole thing is starting to unravel . michael : i need you to be honest with me . otherwise , i ca n't defend you . nikki : i appreciate you being here , michael , but i do n't need your help . michael : why do all the newmans make it so difficult for me to do my job , hmm ? [ door opens ] rey : paperwork 's done . nikki : have the charges against victor been dropped ? rey : victor 's trial has been officially postponed . he will remain out on bail . but until this gets all sorted out , we 'll have to keep you in custody . nikki : what is there to be sorted out ? i 've confessed . rey : did you really think you could get away with lying to me ? michael : do n't answer that . nikki : i killed j.t . rey : oh , i definitely think you were involved with his death , that you know what really happened , but you did n't do it alone . and i 'm gon na prove it .

nikki insists christine is arresting the wrong person and announces that her husband did not kill jt - ‘i did ' . michael tells nikki to stop taking but nikki keeps going and turns to rey and tells him he knew she killed him and mentions the watch . christine agrees to postpone the trial but nikki is coming in for questioning and rey puts handcuffs on her . at the abbott mansion kyle tells jack that things over over with lola . jack asks if he has talked to lola and reminds kyle he knew going in how busy lola would be . jack suggests he spend money on her for valentine 's day but kyle tells him it ca n't be about money and must come from the heart , jack suggests the cabin but kyle tells him he had tried to take her there before and admits lola is a virgin . a surprised jack suggests decorating the cabin and cooking dinner and he will have a horse drawn sleigh for them . kyle texts lola who agrees to meet him at crimson . meanwhile , ana slams the door on fen who showed up at the penthouse but he pushes his way in and apologizes and asks for another chance . he admits he was a jerk and insists he ca n't loss this opportunity . his promises to work hard and asks that she talk to devon . later at the coffee house fen is sitting at a table and summer shows up . he fills her in on how he may be fired . summer insists that people make mistakes . he admits he blew it . devon and ana arrive and summer asks to talk to them . fen insists it was n't his idea as summer goes on to tell them it was her fault as she was having a major crisis and fen stayed for her at the risk of his career . devon insists in life you have to live with your mistakes . summer gushes on about fen putting a friend ahead of himself . ana asks to speak to devon in private . they come back and devon tells him that ana went to bat for him and tells fen that he will be going on the road to tour and if he works hard and it goes well they will talk . fen tells them they wo n't be sorry . kyle walks in and summer heads over to him but kyle tells her he is waiting for lola .

<s>[INST] [ previously_on ] summer : hey , if you need to get to the showcase , i can just finish up with these guys and meet you over there . fen : no . no . no , no , no . i still got a little more time . devon : so fen 's supposed to be here right now . does anyone know where the hell he is ? show me what you 're working with , show me how you do it yeah lola : because not having sex is hurting you way more than you 'll have to admit . kyle : and whether we talk about it or not , it 's creating a distance between us . nikki : christine . there wo n't be any trial today . i have something to tell you . christine : nikki , if you 're just trying to stall ... nikki : no , i 'm not . you need to hear what i have to say . victor : sweetheart , everything is going to be all right . nikki : yes . it will . you ca n't do this . my husband is innocent . rey : get him in the car . nikki : no ! you 're arresting the wrong person ! nick : mom , please . victoria : you 're making things worse . michael : do n't say any more . nikki : i can not stand by another minute and watch my husband be punished for something he did n't do . victor : nikki , do n't do this . jack : you and the polar bears out there this morning , huh ? kyle : yeah . jack : you know i believe in exercise , but i ca n't help wondering if frostbite might negate the benefits of swimming in sub - zero temperatures . kyle : yeah , the pool 's heated , and i needed to blow off some steam . jack : what 's wrong ? problems at work ? kyle : it 's lola . i think it 's over between us . fen : hi , um , i just wanted to say thank you -- ana : [ sighs ] fen : look , ana , i know you 're pissed at me . ana : you think ? fen : look , i get it , okay ? i screwed up big - time , but , i swear , this will never happen again . ana : you 're right about that . fen : wait a minute , you 're not saying that ... ana : that devon 's gon na fire you ? fen : look , i can make this right , okay ? if you just give me another chance ... ana : it 's not up to me . fen : listen , you 're the one who believed in me from the very beginning . okay ? all i 'm asking is do n't stop . okay ? please , ana . victor : i love you for wanting to help me . nikki : then let me . victor : but this is not the way . nicholas , take care of your mother . make sure she gets to the courthouse . nick : mom , come on . victoria : nick and i will drive you . nikki : no . no ! no , stop it , both of you . i ca n't let this happen . victor : you 're going to be okay , sweetheart . nikki : victor , nothing about this is okay . rey : nikki , i understand that you are upset , but interfering like this is n't going to help . michael : you could make things a whole lot worse . nikki : it could n't get any worse . you are making a mistake . christine : the only one doing that is you . rey : let 's go . come on . nikki : all right , nobody is listening to me ! you 're arresting the wrong person . nick : mom . nikki : my husband did not kill j.t . , i did ! additional sponsorship jack : look , whatever happened between you and lola , i 'm sure it 's not as bad as you think it is . kyle : she stormed out of crimson lights in the middle of our date . jack : couples fight . they argue . kyle : [ sighs ] jack : have you had a chance to talk since about what happened ? kyle : between her pop - up stand and getting ready for abby 's restaurant , i doubt she has time to talk to me . jack : oh , come on , you do n't believe that . kyle : lola 's career is one of the main reasons there 's been so much tension between us lately . jack : you knew going into this how important her work was to her . this is the opportunity of a lifetime . of course this is gon na be her top priority . kyle : i know ! and i love the way she 's gone after it . she 's never done anything close to this , but she went into it with this fearlessness and confidence and a sense of herself that blows me away . she has this passion for what she does that 's so honest and real , and it makes me want to be around her all the time . jack : i 'd say that 's worth fighting for . kyle : [ sighs ] jack : and what better time than valentine 's week to prove to her just how much she means to you ? kyle : any suggestions ? jack : always . um , jewelry ? always nice . a trip to new york . take in a few shows . kyle : spending money is not the way to impress lola . whatever i do , it has to come from the heart . jack : i have just the thing . fen : i know ! i screwed up ! ana : i believed in you . i fought for you , and this is how you repay me ? by blowing off an event that was set up just to showcase you . fen : i did n't -- ana : you , fen ! fen : i did n't blow it off ! okay ? i was -- i was dealing with some personal stuff . ana : do n't bs me ! fen : look , what 's the big problem ? you stepped in . everyone got to see how great you are . ana : this is n't about me . or devon . it 's about you ! and how selfish and unprofessional you are ! do you have any idea how many singers would kill for the opportunity you 've been given ? fen : i 'm a jerk ! i get it ! okay ? i ca n't lose this , ana . i mean , singing ... it 's the only thing i 've ever wanted to do . and when you asked me to record your song , and suddenly people were downloading it and streaming it ... you know , it all happened really fast . and i guess it just went to my head . ana : if you went into this just for the money or the fame ... fen : i didn't . i did n't , i swear . all right ? music means just as much to me as it does to you . and i know i 'm gon na have to work really hard if i 'm gon na make a career out of this , and i 'm willing to do that . so will you just -- talk to devon ? please , ana . rey : you killed j.t . ? michael : nikki , not another word . christine : that 's good advice , nikki . victor : christine , this is your fault , okay ? this is an obnoxious abuse of power , to come here and put handcuffs on me in front of my family . christine : this is a high - profile case . we 're just following procedure . victor : really ? nikki : this has gone on far too long . too many people have been hurt , and i need to put an end to it . michael : all right , nikki , let 's go into another room and discuss this . victor : that 's a good idea . nikki : victor ! i can not let this go on . i ca n't stand by and watch you be accused of a crime i committed ! victor : look , she 's obviously trying to help me , okay ? nikki : you , sir , suspected me from the very beginning . rey : suspicion is n't proof . nikki : remember that day you saw me at the park after you found j.t . 's watch ? rey : yeah . you own chancellor park . pipe was busted . it would make sense that you would be there . nikki : i was n't there because of a plumbing problem . michael : nikki , not another word , i mean it ! look , this -- this obviously changes everything . victor : it does n't change a damn thing . christine : could what nikki 's saying be true ? rey : we have run a thorough investigation , included all the possibilities , including the fact that nikki could have somehow had something to do with hellstrom 's death . christine : yeah , and we concluded that all evidence pointed to victor . rey : even before we got the recording of him practically confessing . christine : if nikki testifies that she killed j.t . , it 's gon na be really difficult to prove that victor 's guilty , and , my god , if she 's telling the truth ... rey : no one wants an innocent man to go to prison . christine : what a mess . michael : okay , you are all to keep your mouth shut , understand ? nikki : michael , i already -- michael : not a peep from any of you . nick : we understand . michael : oh , christine , so , um , how do you plan to proceed ? christine : in light of this new information , i think it would in everyone 's best interest if we postponed victor 's trial . nikki : [ sighs ] thank god . thank god . christine : victor will remain on bail under house arrest , nikki will be brought in for questioning . victoria : is she under arrest ? christine : considering she just confessed to a murder , we have no other choice . rey : give me your cuffs . [ clears throat ] nikki newman , you are under arrest for the murder of j.t . hellstrom . you have the right to remain silent . summer : hey . fen : hey . summer : what happened ? fen : um ... well , do you remember the showcase i was supposed to be in the other night ? summer : yeah , the one that you were running late for ? fen : yeah , uh , well , by the time i showed up , it was practically over , and devon and ana were super pissed , and now she thinks he 's gon na fire me . summer : wait , because you missed one promotional event ? fen : this was a huge deal for lp . i mean , devon put his reputation on the line for me , and ... i made him look stupid in front of a lot of really important dudes . i mean , it was n't -- it was n't cool . summer : okay , but people make mistakes . who does n't ? but you 're good . fen : yeah . apparently , that 's not enough . summer : i guess it depends on how much you want it . fen : i want it more than anything , i really do , which ... makes me an even bigger idiot . i mean , i had this big shot , and i blew it over a girl who 's not even interested in me . summer : fen , i like you . but i have to be straight with you . i was just using you to make kyle jealous . fen : it 's good , seriously . do n't feel bad.-yeah , i was just using you to make lola jealous and to screw with kyle . summer : oh . fen : this whole thing is messed up . you know , me and kyle and this stupid competition with each other . summer : yeah . yeah , well , i guess i played my part in it , too . fen : no . no , this is all me . summer : um , well , what if there was a way that i could make it up to you ? fen : what ? summer , please -- summer : devon ! hi ! devon : summer ! how you doing ? hey ! heard you were back in town . what 's going on ? summer : yeah , um .... can i talk to you for a minute ? devon : we 're actually kind of in a rush right now . summer : i promise it 's not gon na take long at all . devon : okay . sure . hey . fen : hey . devon : what would you guys like to talk about ? jack : the key to solving all your problems . kyle : the abbott cabin . jack : isolated , cozy , romantic , free -- all the things you need to win lola back . kyle : [ chuckles ] you think so ? jack : what 's the problem ? kyle : last time i invited lola to the cabin , she turned me down . jack : she does n't like life in the woods ? kyle : that 's what i thought . turns out , she was worried i was taking her there to , uh , you know ... jack : were you ? kyle : not gon na lie , it was on my mind . jack : well , you 'll have to convince her this particular getaway is about more than just ... you know . kyle : i have to convince her it 's not about that at all . jack : so you 're not interested , either . kyle : i 'm very interested . lola isn't . not yet . jack : so , wait , the two of you have never ... ? kyle : she hasn't ... ever . jack : okay . kyle : [ sighs ] she 's waiting . jack : you okay with that ? kyle : it 's ... new territory for me . jack : so no . kyle : but i 'm trying to be understanding and patient . jack : but it 's starting to be an issue . kyle : it 's what we fought about . that 's why it 's so important i show her that i care about more than just that . i want her to know she 's what matters . her heart and soul , the amazing person she is . how do i do that ? jack : well , let 's think about it . um , we , uh ... we string lights around all the trees around the cabin , twinkling lights . when you go to the cabin , stop in town you know the old general store there ? kyle : yeah . jack : park there . go inside , get all the supplies you need , including the makings for a very simple but lovely dinner . kyle : [ scoffs ] me , cook for her ? jack : she will love it , trust me . kyle : if i do n't kill her . jack : i will have a horse - drawn sleigh waiting for you when you get to the cabin . kyle : you do n't think that 's too much ? jack : nothing over - the - top . i 'll insist . it 's charming and simple and rustic . kyle : perfect . you 're killing it , dad . jack : i still got a few tricks up my sleeve . kyle : huh . i 'm gon na steal one . remember that invitation you sent kerry for thanksgiving ? i want to make one like that for lola . jack : i hope it works as well for you as it did for me . kyle : mm . i 'll even hand - deliver it so she knows i 'm serious . no cost involved whatsoever . jack : there we have it , a man with a plan . kyle : uh - huh . operation `` win back lola `` is hereby launched . jack : [ chuckles ] [ cellphone chimes ] jack : oh ! kyle : we 're a go . devon : thank you . summer : yeah . ana : thank you . devon : ana and i actually have some business to discuss with fen . summer : oh , good . good . um , i 'm glad because i heard that you were thinking about dropping him from your label , which would be a really huge mistake . devon : well , i appreciate your input , summer , but -- summer : devon , please , you just have to hear me out . fen : this was n't my idea . devon : okay . i 'll hear you out . summer : okay , um , look , i know that you guys are really mad at fen because he missed a super - important promotional event . ana : he was supposed to be our featured performer . summer : i know , and it sucks that he was a no - show , but that is on me , 100 % . devon : i do n't know how you figure that because fen 's a grown man , and he 's responsible for his own decisions , right ? summer : he is , totally , and he decided to put me ahead of himself . okay , i was having a major crisis , and instead of just bailing on me to promote his singing , he decided to stay with me . and he knew what it could cost him , but he chose being a friend over his career . devon : and why did n't you tell me this before , fen ? summer : because fen does n't make excuses , and i can not let you guys think that he just bailed on you because he did n't care , okay ? i pulled him into my own crap , and i would just really -- i would just hate to see him lose his dream because of that . devon : well , the thing is , is , you know , in life , you have to live with the choices you make . summer : yes , and that 's the biggest irony of it all , is that i do n't even think fen regrets what he did . that 's just the kind of guy he is . devon : it 's nice of you , fen , but it 's gon na take a bit more than that to be successful in the music business . summer : okay , well , fen has the rest . you know , he 's -- he 's talented , he 's passionate . i mean , he could be a major star . you guys would n't have signed him if you did n't think so . and he was willing to risk all of that for me . he put a friend ahead of himself . i mean , come on , have n't either of you guys ever done that before ? ana : devon , can i talk to you for a minute ? devon : sure . excuse me . summer : yeah . fen : that was incredible . summer : what , you do n't think i 'm capable of doing something nice occasionally ? fen : no , i just -- i just hope it works . rey : okay , so ... you claim ... you killed j.t . hellstrom . nikki : i did kill him . rey : yet you kept quiet for all those months . nikki : i was afraid . rey : you were afraid . no guilt or remorse ? i have felt terrible about what i had done to j.t . , but ... i did what i had to do , what i was forced to do . rey : all right . so , tell me , what happened the night of j.t . 's death ? michael : nikki . you do n't have to say a word . nikki : i have nothing to hide , not anymore . it was the girls ' night at victoria 's house . rey : mm . nikki : victoria , sharon , phyllis , mariah , and me . we were comforting victoria over her break - up with j.t . she got emotional and went upstairs to try to calm down a little bit , and she -- she was gone for a long time , so ... i got worried and , by then , mariah had passed out , so i -- i told sharon and phyllis that i wanted to go up and check on victoria . rey : mm , so you went upstairs alone ? nikki : yes . and as i approached the bedroom , i could hear a lot of yelling and -- and crashing going on inside . so i went in , and j.t . was screaming at her , and he was choking her . and i had tried to get him to stop , and he -- he just threw me off of him , and i landed on the floor by the fireplace . and then i saw the fireplace poker , and i ... i grabbed it , and then i yelled at him to stop it . rey : and ? nikki : and he did . but the look in his eyes ... it was pure hate . rey : then what happened ? nikki : then he left through the window . rey : so you -- you followed him ? nikki : i was most concerned with making sure victoria was okay , that she was all right . and then i promised her that i would protect her , keep her safe . and then she and i went back downstairs to the party , and then , when i felt nobody was really noticing , i slipped out , determined to keep my promise . rey : you took the poker with you ? nikki : for protection . rey : i assume you , uh , tracked down j.t . ? nikki : yes . rey : what happened next ? nick : i do n't think she was planning on confessing . so whatever she 's saying , she 's winging it . victoria : which means she does n't have any idea what she 's going to say , and neither do we . nikki : when i went outside , he was there . he took off on foot , so i followed him to chancellor park . that 's -- that 's where i confronted him . rey : and ? nikki : i told him that i knew what he had done to victor . and to victoria . and he laughed . he said that the police could n't stop him and neither could i , and he vowed to finish what he had started . he said it would be easy because victor was still in the hospital and because victoria was weak . i raise the poker and i told him i wasn't . and he mocked me . he taunted me . he said that i was a coward , just like the rest of my family . and he threatened to just take us all out , one by one , starting with me . well , i -- i knew what he was capable of , and so i raised my poker again , and i told him to back away . but then he lunged at me . and i just swung that poker as hard as i could . and it hit him in the head . i was so stunned when he went down because i -- i did n't mean to hurt him . rey : why did n't you call the police ? nikki : once i realized he was dead , i panicked and ... i did n't think that you would believe that it was in self - defense . rey : so you decided to dig a hole and bury him instead ? nikki : i was already there . the garden we were planting ... i just rolled his body into the dirt , and put more on top of it , and that was it , i left . rey : hoping no one would find out what you did . nikki : make no mistake , i am not proud of what i did . but would n't you protect your family if somebody threatened them ? if somebody hurt your wife or your sister and then threatened to do it again ? would n't you do anything you could to stop them ? rey : let 's take a break . michael : i 'll be right back . detective ! care to share anything ? rey : you believe her ? michael : you really expect me to answer that ? rey : that 's what i thought . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . fen : so , uh , have you guys made a decision ?

[ cellphone chimes ] kyle : [ sighs ] summer : or not . kyle : she 's just running late , that 's all . summer : okay , well , the offer still stands . rey : your son - in - law was wanted for the attempted murder of your husband . i am assuming that victoria was gon na press charges . so why did n't you call the police when j.t . showed up to victoria 's house ? nikki : after i saw him attack her , the only thing i could think about what protecting her . rey : serve and protect . that 's our job . but instead of coming to us , you went after j.t . hellstrom with a fireplace poker ? michael : that was previously stated , so unless you have another question ... nikki : you do n't have any children , do you , detective ? rey : i 'm not sure how that 's relevant . nikki : if you did , you would understand this primal feeling that a parent has to protect their child . reason and logic does n't enter into it . if your child is in danger , you act , and that 's what i did . i did n't think about anything else , i just did what i knew i had to do . rey : and what you had to do was ... stop j.t . ? nikki : i already told you that . michael : i 'd like to state , for the record , that my client 's confession was made at a time when she was under tremendous stress ... nikki : michael , please do n't make excuses for me . i know exactly what i 'm saying . i killed j.t . i acted alone . nobody else helped me . and you can put that on the record . nick : where 's mom ? christine : she 's being questioned . victoria : this is ridiculous . she 's innocent . michael , where 's mom ? i need to -- i need to make sure that she 's okay . mom ! mom , are you okay ? nikki : i 'm okay , sweetheart . rey : we need to get her processed . nick : can we have a few minutes with her ? christine : she ca n't have visitors till tomorrow . nick : tomorrow ? christine : we are doing our job and sticking to protocol . victoria : [ sighs ] nick : they can not keep us from seeing her . michael : we have other things to discuss . like how i was blindsided by your mother 's confession . did either of you have any idea that was she was planning to do this ? victoria : no , we had no idea . michael : is what she 's saying true ? look , if i 'm gon na defend anyone in this family , i need to know what the hell is going on . nick : we do n't know why she confessed . victoria : what did mom say to rey ? michael : you know i ca n't tell you that . that 's privileged information . [ door opens ] rey : i need to ask you some questions . michael : is she under arrest ? rey : no , i just need to verify some elements of nikki 's story . summer : uh , so , did lola say why she was gon na be late ? kyle : it was either because of work or work . between her food truck and the restaurant opening ... it 's always one or the other . summer : well , just cut her some slack , okay ? you know what it 's like to be involved in a big project , wanting to prove yourself , so ... kyle : you 're defending lola ? summer : well , yeah , i mean , i got to admire a woman who 's as determined as she is . i mean , look at the way that she is sticking to this whole `` no sex `` thing . kyle : she made a choice . i respect it . and there 's more to being with someone than having sex . summer : yes , but it is an important part , though . i mean , you used to think so . kyle : it 's not like lola and i are never gon na do it . summer : no , of course . i mean , it 's just ... kyle : what ? summer : i just ca n't help wondering if there is n't something else holding her back besides her principles . summer : no , no , i 'm not . i 'm not . you have given your heart and soul to this relationship . i 'm just wondering if lola 's giving as much as you are . you deserve that . lola : i 'm sorry i 'm late . kyle : i 'm just glad you 're here . i did n't like the way we left things the other night . lola : yeah . me , either . kyle : i wanted to call , but i was n't -- i did n't know if -- [ sighs ] i do n't like the way things have been between us . so ... i wanted to change that . lola : `` please join me for a romantic valentine 's day celebration at the abbott cabin . `` rey : i 'd like to talk to you about the last time you saw j.t . the night of your girls ' party . michael : we 've been through that several times . rey : that was before nikki confessed . michael : still , it does n't change victoria 's statement . rey : well , let 's take a look at that . you said ... j.t . came through the bedroom window , right ?

victoria : should n't you have all of that right there in that book ? rey : nikki 's version is a little different . i thought i might give you a chance of reviewing the events as you now remember them . victoria : my mother 's obviously lying . she 's just confessing to keep my father from going to trial . rey : because she felt guilty ? victoria : because he 's being accused of a crime that he did n't commit . my father was seriously ill in the hospital when j.t . disappeared , so he could n't have done it . rey : well , no one actually really knows when j.t . was murdered , so it could have happened when your father was fully recovered . michael : detective , with due respect , ms . newman has already made a statement about the night j.t . came to her house . so unless you have other questions , we are done . rey : one more thing -- is there a fireplace in your bedroom ?

lola : you obviously put a lot of effort into this . kyle : yeah . i was hoping you 'd be willing to do the same . lola : then i guess we 're on different tracks . want different things . kyle : i know what i want . lola : me , too . and i think it 's best that we both admit that and go our separate ways . i -- i 'm sorry , kyle . summer : kyle -- kyle : not now , summer . victor : how 's your mother ? victoria : [ sighs ] they would n't let us talk to her . nick : christine claimed that she needed to be processed , but it was just an excuse to keep mom and vick apart . victoria : they wanted to question me before we could coordinate our stories . victor : what did you tell them ? victoria : i did n't know what to tell them . i just stuck to my original statement . i had no choice because i do n't know what mom told them . nick : they 're gon na want to question sharon and phyllis next . victor : well , we have to warn them . nick : well , phyllis is in chicago on business . she 's not gon na be home till late . and sharon is on a field trip with faith . so calling or texting can be risky . victoria : it 's gon na be impossible to coordinate our stories . this whole thing is starting to unravel . michael : i need you to be honest with me . otherwise , i ca n't defend you . nikki : i appreciate you being here , michael , but i do n't need your help . michael : why do all the newmans make it so difficult for me to do my job , hmm ?

[ lulu laughs ] georgie : i am -- i 'm sorry . maxie -- she can be -- lulu : a hypocritical bitch , but she is right about one thing . you do have every reason to hate me . georgie : lulu , it wo n't change anything . dillon 's moving on with his life , and i 'm trying to do the same . which is why i want to talk to you about that extra $ 100 that logan offered . mac finally agreed to let me spend my junior year abroad . the -- the only catch is , i have to pay for half . so if you change your mind about logan , i 'm definitely here .

[ scene_break ] officer : your lawyer must have pulled a few strings , because the judge has granted you a phone call . you got two minutes , then back to your cell . jason : hey , sonny , it 's me . no , no , no . everything 's -- everything 's , you know , okay . i just need you to talk to carly for me . she 's been hanging around jerry thinking somehow that 's going to help her find jax . no -- no , i told her to stay away from jerry , too , but once carly gets an idea in her head , you know how she is . i 'm stuck in here . i ca n't do anything about it . okay . sounds good . thanks . [ scene_break ] lucky : i did n't know you and jason were still close . robin : it 's not about being close to jason . throwing a man in jail after he saved your kidnapped child is just wrong . not to mention , unfair . lucky : jason could have passed that information on to the cops and let us do our job . robin : right -- you could have done the same thing , but instead , you had to be the one to arrest him . lucky : if i had n't arrested jason for jumping bail , somebody else would have . robin : or you could have left it up to my uncle mac to decide whether or not he wanted to look the other way . instead , you forced the issue , and now jason is locked up in pentonville until his trial . remind me not to do you any favors . lucky : thanks . elizabeth : i did n't do anything . lucky : exactly .

[ scene_break ] patrick : you okay ? robin : yeah , why ? patrick : well , you just tore into lucky in front of his wife and half the staff . thought you only saved that for me . robin : yeah , well , i made an exception . i 'm sorry , but you do n't throw someone in jail after they save your child . i mean , you say thank you , and you look the other way . patrick : what if the person in question is charged with murder ? robin : look , i 'm not defending who jason is or what he does for a living . but he put himself on the line to rescue a child , and he does not deserve to be locked up for that . patrick : so it 's the rescuing of the child that 's got you all fired up ? robin : no . a long time ago , michael corinthos was kidnapped . i found out that tony jones was behind it , and i went to him to try and talk him into giving michael back . but tony was in a really bad place then , and there was just no reasoning with him . if jason had n't shown up when he did , i would have died of pneumonia . patrick : so jason saved you ? robin : i still remember how it felt . i mean , i was too weak to even sit up . he put me in his arms and he carried me out . i do n't know -- maybe that 's why i went off on lucky , because -- say what you will about jason , but he is a good person , and he did an amazing thing . patrick : you know , it surprises me the way you talk about jason . i mean , at carly and jax 's wedding , you guys did n't say two words to each other . robin : well , we have different lives . does n't mean that i do n't care about him and what happens to him . patrick : hmm . robin : in a very platonic , nonsexual way , of course . patrick : yes , of course . robin : so you can just stop getting jealous , because you have absolutely nothing to worry about .

[ scene_break ] sam : i got into the habit of making excuses for jason , like when he 'd shut down on me or refused to discuss something . i thought to myself , that 's just who he is , and i 'm okay with it as long as he 's being honest . even when things were strained , or -- or distant between us , i still felt like i could trust him . and it turns out , i 've been lying to myself this whole time . maxie : i 'm really sorry . there 's nothing worse than putting yourself on the line or giving everything you have just to find the person you love does n't love you back . sam : i do n't know -- i just do n't understand how after everything -- everything jason and i have been through , how could he -- he , out of all people , lie to me . it 's like he has completely given up on us . maxie : and you were mad enough to do something dumb ? sam : what makes you say that ? maxie : because that 's what i would do . when i get hurt , i try and get even . but , sam , the problem with plans like that is they usually blow up in your face . sam : the problem is , i do n't think jason and i can ever come back from what 's happened . [ knock on door ] sam : excuse me . [ sam sighs ] amelia : we need to talk . sam : i have nothing to say to you . amelia : you can either talk to me or to the network attorneys . your choice . you might want to ask your guest to come back a little later , unless you want her to hear all the gory details . maxie : actually , i was just leaving . bye . sam : bye . thank you . what do you want ? amelia : you were n't at the studio this morning . sam : okay , then you can consider this my formal resignation . i 'm finished with `` everyday heroes , `` and i am beyond finished with you .

[ scene_break ] lulu : ha . i am not going out with logan tomorrow or any other night , so you definitely wo n't need to cover my shift . georgie : shift ? lulu , when did you start working here again ? lulu : mike gave me my job back for the summer . i do n't actually start until tomorrow . georgie : that 's great . logan : yeah , unless you trade with her . 100 bucks , how about it ? lulu : georgie says no , and so do i . what is it going to take to get you to understand that ? maxie : excuse me . do you think you could yell at this loser someplace else ? you 're bothering the customers . georgie : maxie , you do n't care about customers . mike : hey , hey , hey -- but i do . lower your voice , or leave . logan : hmm . lulu : there 's nothing left to say . i already told logan i ca n't go out with him . logan : your loss . hmm . georgie : lulu , if you want to go out with him tomorrow night , it 's really fine . i do n't mind covering your shift . maxie : georgie , why do you keep letting this lying slut walk all over you ? [ scene_break ] lucky : hey . elizabeth : why are n't you at work ? lucky : i just stopped by to check on cameron and jake . it 's just going to be a while before i 'm comfortable , you know , letting them out of my sight for more than a few minutes . elizabeth : i know . i 've already been down there three times . i guess we 're pretty paranoid . robin : with good reason . elizabeth : but he 's safe . that 's all that matters . robin : my uncle mac told me that the kidnapper was a woman that lost her own baby in a house fire . elizabeth : yeah , maureen harper . she was a guest on `` everyday heroes . `` robin : you must have been so relieved when jason found him when he did . elizabeth : yeah . lucky : actually , sam 's producer , amelia joffe , found jake . she was doing a follow - up on miss harper , and she heard a baby crying in the background . robin : then why is jason the one locked up in pentonville ? lucky : jason jumped bail . robin : and you turned him in . lucky : oh -- and you obviously have a problem with that . robin : well , jason did save your child , and you repay him by arresting him ? i thought i knew you better than that , lucky . [ scene_break ] sam : you can take me to court . go ahead , expose every last secret about my past -- the money i stole , the men i scammed from . but i do n't care , as long as you are not going to blackmail me anymore . i am done . amelia : once the press gets ahold of this , your television career is over . sam : so ? i do n't care about a few headlines . it 'll be a scandal for a minute , okay ? maybe a second . but before long , a bigger star is going to come along , and they 're going to have an affair , or -- or go to rehab , and i will be forgotten . most importantly , i will be free ! so do your best . i really do n't care anymore . amelia : you might want to rethink that . if i tell your deepest , darkest secrets , you could be charged as an accessory to jake spencer 's kidnapping . or at the very least , the world , including your mother and adoring little sisters , will know that you stood by and watched a deranged woman steal an innocent child . now , that 's what i call a scandal . [ scene_break ] carly : i ca n't stand the thought of you being in here one more night . we 've got to figure out a way to get you out of here . jason : no , no , no , no . you promised me . carly : i promised i would stay out of trouble . i never said i would n't help you . and i have n't come up with a plan yet , but i 'm working -- jason : there 's not going to be any plans , carly . carly : listen to me -- okay , you 're not going to be happy about this , but i do think jerry could prove to be very useful . jason : jerry ? what do you mean , jerry ? i told you to stay away from jerry . if he gets near you and the kids again , you need to call sonny and take care of this once and for all . carly : you need to stop worrying about me and start worrying about yourself . now , look , when i stopped by the penthouse to get the marriage certificate , sam barely let me in the door . she was acting like she owned the place , and i know damn well she has n't paid one cent in the two years plus you guys have been together . jason : carly , come on -- carly : no , listen to me . she 's made no effort to get you out of here . how many times has she come to visit since you got charged with murder ? jason : i 'm not supposed to have visitors . they let you in because you said you were my wife . carly : sam could n't have thought about that ? no , she 's sitting at your house spending your money . jason : stop . i appreciate what you 're trying to do , okay , but you need to leave sam alone . carly : i am worried about you , and i am trying to help you . jason : okay , you can help me by staying away from sam . [ scene_break ] maxie : how can you stand to look at lulu , much less do her any favors ? lulu : because your sister is a very generous person -- a concept you 're obviously not familiar with . maxie : is that why you lied to dillon and tricked him into sleeping with you and broke my sister 's heart , because you 're so generous ? lulu : this has nothing to do with georgie , and you know it . georgie : maxie , lulu 's right . you 're just looking for an excuse to fight with her , and i 'm not going to be your excuse . stop it . maxie : i do n't need an excuse . [ lulu laughs ] georgie : i am -- i 'm sorry . maxie -- she can be -- lulu : a hypocritical bitch , but she is right about one thing . you do have every reason to hate me . georgie : lulu , it wo n't change anything . dillon 's moving on with his life , and i 'm trying to do the same . which is why i want to talk to you about that extra $ 100 that logan offered . mac finally agreed to let me spend my junior year abroad . the -- the only catch is , i have to pay for half . so if you change your mind about logan , i 'm definitely here . [ scene_break ] ric : we 're moving forward with the dunbar case . i 've subpoenaed all parties -- mayor floyd : that 's not the case i 'm interested in . where are we with jason morgan ? ric : oh . well , his attorney is pushing for an early trial date , which means she 's going to be far less prepared . and we have the recording of alcazar saying jason 's name just before he shot him , so i think we 're going to get a conviction . mayor floyd : what about corinthos ? ric : oh , sonny ca n't run his business on his own . he 's become far too dependent on jason . mayor floyd : and i assume you have a plan to capitalize on that . ric : yes -- sonny is planning on landing a shipment tomorrow night , and i have my people in place to intercept . mayor floyd : hmm . somehow i do n't think corinthos will be there to personally supervise . ric : everybody who is on the scene , mayor , is going to be arrested and charged . i do n't think it 's going to be too hard to find one or two people who are willing to cut a deal . and even if we ca n't do that , i have a contingency plan . somebody on the inside -- a very reliable source inside sonny 's organization . mayor floyd : how reliable ? ric : it 's only a matter of time before i have everything i need to put my brother in a jail cell right next to jason morgan . [ scene_break ] officer : your lawyer must have pulled a few strings , because the judge has granted you a phone call . you got two minutes , then back to your cell . jason : hey , sonny , it 's me . no , no , no . everything 's -- everything 's , you know , okay . i just need you to talk to carly for me . she 's been hanging around jerry thinking somehow that 's going to help her find jax . no -- no , i told her to stay away from jerry , too , but once carly gets an idea in her head , you know how she is . i 'm stuck in here . i ca n't do anything about it . okay . sounds good . thanks . [ scene_break ] lucky : i did n't know you and jason were still close . robin : it 's not about being close to jason . throwing a man in jail after he saved your kidnapped child is just wrong . not to mention , unfair . lucky : jason could have passed that information on to the cops and let us do our job . robin : right -- you could have done the same thing , but instead , you had to be the one to arrest him . lucky : if i had n't arrested jason for jumping bail , somebody else would have . robin : or you could have left it up to my uncle mac to decide whether or not he wanted to look the other way . instead , you forced the issue , and now jason is locked up in pentonville until his trial . remind me not to do you any favors . lucky : thanks . elizabeth : i did n't do anything . lucky : exactly . [ scene_break ] sam : go ahead . tell the world that i watched jake spencer being kidnapped . and while you 're at it , make sure you tell the world that jason morgan is the baby 's real father . i think it 's about time the truth comes out , do n't you ? amelia : you 're right . why go down alone when you can take lucky and elizabeth 's marriage with you ? i mean , he 'll be devastated , of course , but at least two people will have a happy ending . elizabeth will follow her heart straight to jason . he 'll be free -- assuming he 's out of prison -- to have the family he 's always wanted . sam : you have no idea what jason wants . amelia : if it 's a choice between a loving mother of his only child and the deceitful bitch who stood by and watched his little boy get kidnapped , how long do you think it 's going to take jason to make up his mind ? even if jason has to spend the rest of his life in prison , at least he 'll know jake will be provided for . when the truth comes out , no doubt jake will get all of jason 's money , and you 'll be left broke and homeless . unless , of course , you think your mother will be willing to take you in after she learns that you facilitated a kidnapping . sam : okay , shut up ! carly : wow . artistic differences ? amelia : would you like to update carly , or should i ? okay , then -- turns out sam actually knew more -- sam : i will update her . i blew off a shoot today , even though i knew amelia already paid for the location . carly : wow , it 's nice to see jason 's not the only one you 're taking advantage of . sam : i will be in work on time tomorrow . okay ? amelia : you sure about that ? sam : yeah , i 'm sure about that . the job you hired me for -- i 'll be there . see you then . amelia : wise choice . carly : you better hold on to that job . when jason gets back , he 's going to kick you out of here . sam : i do n't know what fantasy world you 're living in , but i 'm not going anywhere .

[ scene_break ] patrick : you okay ? robin : yeah , why ? patrick : well , you just tore into lucky in front of his wife and half the staff . thought you only saved that for me . robin : yeah , well , i made an exception . i 'm sorry , but you do n't throw someone in jail after they save your child . i mean , you say thank you , and you look the other way . patrick : what if the person in question is charged with murder ? robin : look , i 'm not defending who jason is or what he does for a living . but he put himself on the line to rescue a child , and he does not deserve to be locked up for that . patrick : so it 's the rescuing of the child that 's got you all fired up ? robin : no . a long time ago , michael corinthos was kidnapped . i found out that tony jones was behind it , and i went to him to try and talk him into giving michael back . but tony was in a really bad place then , and there was just no reasoning with him . if jason had n't shown up when he did , i would have died of pneumonia . patrick : so jason saved you ? robin : i still remember how it felt . i mean , i was too weak to even sit up . he put me in his arms and he carried me out . i do n't know -- maybe that 's why i went off on lucky , because -- say what you will about jason , but he is a good person , and he did an amazing thing . patrick : you know , it surprises me the way you talk about jason . i mean , at carly and jax 's wedding , you guys did n't say two words to each other . robin : well , we have different lives . does n't mean that i do n't care about him and what happens to him . patrick : hmm . robin : in a very platonic , nonsexual way , of course . patrick : yes , of course . robin : so you can just stop getting jealous , because you have absolutely nothing to worry about . [ scene_break ] logan : yeah , everything 's set for tomorrow night . maxie : how long is it going to take for you to put that self - righteous lulu in her place ? logan : i was working . maxie : yeah , answer my question . you can call them back . logan : do n't you ever embarrass me in front of sonny 's people again , you understand me ? maxie : i 'm sorry . i just want to know what 's going on with lulu . logan : a little anxious ? maxie : do n't flatter yourself . logan : i just call it like i see it . maxie : so do i , and from what i saw at kelly 's , you have no chance of getting lulu into bed . logan : lulu 's just playing hard to get , all right ? i 'll take her to the catacomb tomorrow night , loosen her up with a few drinks , take her back to my place and seal the deal . maxie : remember , it does n't count unless i see it . logan : all right , i know . i know . you want to watch . maxie : no , i want proof , because i do n't trust you . remember , if you do n't sleep with lulu , i 'm not going to sleep with you . lulu : wow ! and you call me a slut ? coop 's been at work all of five minutes , and you 're already throwing yourself at his best friend . maxie : actually , i was telling logan to back off . now that coop 's in the academy , he does n't need a jerk like logan making him look bad . lulu : hmm -- then coop should get rid of you next . maxie : uh - huh . do n't hold your breath . lulu : you do n't seriously expect me to believe that maxie was here for coop . logan : hell , no . she was here for me .

hope cries , liam holds her hand and asks if he should call her mother or wyatt . she whispers that it was a boy . wyatt yells at his mother that he is not going away . she saw liam and hope together . she must have done something . he is her son and he loves her , and he will not be mad at her but she has to tell him . deacon shows up at bill 's who is agitated that he is there but gives him some time . deacon says wyatt needs some fatherly advice . bill says he can not make wyatt like him . he is sleeping with his mother . there are problems within the family then there is quinn . deacon says the restraining order was a little harsh . bill says she needs a boundary so quinn will agree to anything and then turn her back and do it anyway . but if she can abide by the restraining order perhaps things can change in the future . the doctor tells hope that she will need a d & c within the hour , but nothing is really wrong and she can conceive again . when quinn refuses to say any more or why she is in shock , wyatt gives her the ro and says he is going to get answers out of liam . he tells her this is the last thing he wanted , and he knows the last thing quinn will want . and this is not forever , just until the baby is born . she rambles on and on about being at brooke 's house and going outside , the fountain by the stairs . she cries that she never touched hope . he runs out leaving his mother crying .

[ scene_break ] doctor : i 'm so sorry for your loss , hope . hope : what happened ? doctor : the trauma from your fall separated your placenta from the uterine lining , and that cut off the oxygen to your fetus . hope : to my son . doctor : yes . not all the tissue was expelled , so we 'll need to do a d & c. it 's a - a local anesthetic , less than a half an hour . the nurse will be in to prep you . liam : um , doctor ... um ... i think hope might have another question . doctor : i see nothing to prevent you from conceiving again . hope : thank you . liam : doctor .

[ scene_break ] bill : patience . maybe that 's a word you should try out on quinn . deacon : i 've got a word for your son -- fairness . bill : oh , if we 're talking about fairness , then quinn would be in prison . and you two could be cell mates and have conjugal visits morning , noon , and night . deacon : it 's a big joke for you , is n't it ? i mean , anything that happens to a non - billionaire is just a fair - game source of amusement for you , is n't it ? bill : deacon , why are you coming to me to solve quinn 's problems ? i mean , i realize you 're trying to be the good boyfriend , and i can even respect that . but why do n't you go talk to your daughter ? she 's the one putting up the barricades , and we both know she is justified in doing so . of course , i 'm answering my own question . that 's why you ca n't talk to hope or wyatt -- 'cause he has to respect his wife 's wishes . so i guess it all comes back around to quinn . she 's the only one who can fix this , and the only way she 's gon na do that is by showing that she can take `` no `` for an answer . deacon : okay , fine . but why does it have to be this `` no `` ? why does it have to be `` no `` to everything that means something in her life ? bill : i just told you that wyatt has to respect his wife 's wishes and her fears . hope ca n't be walking around in a state of agitation . that 's not good for her and that 's not good for the baby in her belly . now , if quinn can do what we just talked about and behave herself , then wyatt can go to hope and say , `` hey . can we take another look at this ? `` deacon : that 's unbelievable . he just made sense . i -- i mean ... the woman does live for being a grandmother now . bill : and she 'll be one ... if she can abide by the restraining order .

[ scene_break ] woman : look at this one . brooke : feels good , does n't it ? ridge : oh , we needed this victory tonight in the worst way . brooke : i know how concerned you 've been about forrester 's future . ridge : we 're not out of the woods yet , logan . brooke : no , but it does n't mean we ca n't appreciate everything that we 've accomplished , for the company , for ourselves , as a couple . ridge : logan . brooke : ridge , we really need to stop this ridiculousness . i wan na be with you , and i know you want to be with me . so why do n't we just celebrate , stop putting this off any longer and celebrate in every way ? i want you to come home with me . taylor : nice try , brooke . brooke : ( sighs ) taylor : but ridge is coming home with me . ridge : okay , listen , you both know how i feel about you . you are beautiful , intelligent , amazing women . you 've given me wonderful children and more love than one man could possibly ask for . but i know i ca n't live with both of you . so , look , after much thought on this , i realize there 's only one decision i can make .

[ scene_break ] katie : tonight 's been like a roller - coaster ride . i just ca n't believe what happened . bill : neither can i. i had forrester in the palm of my hand , and i let it go . my father would be disgusted that i did n't do it . worse , that i could n't do it because of a woman . you see , he always said that a woman could be the most destructive force in a man 's life . bill : and tonight that was proven true . my plan was ruined all because of you , katie logan .

katie asks bill if the judges are in his pocket . she needs to know if he fixed the fashion challenge . she 's incensed that this is just another plot for him to take over the company that her family loves . she thought he was deeper than that ; more honorable . this is so sad ; for someone so smart - this is so stupid . jackie m 's showing is so hot and steamy with the cougar image that the audience is literally fanning themselves . bill is uncomfortable as katie glares at him . dottie congratulates both forrester creations and jackie m and now the judge 's decision . katie is shocked when fc is declared the winner . eric makes a speech in which he thanks his competitor and his daughter for her brilliant designs . he calls up katie and she too pays homage to fc . and she looks right at bill when she gives thanks to a handsome prince who stepped up and did the noble and decent right thing and she thanks him from the bottom of her heart . ridge gives brooke a hug and says she came through for them . he ca n't thank her enough . katie is about to make a bee - line to bill , but is waylaid by her sisters instead . they congratulate her and want to go party . she gives a backward glance to bill . jarrett tells bill that he is not going soft . this time decency and romance came out on top . he gets so carried away that he hugs bill who has to ask him to get off of him . nick gives his group a pep talk . they fought the good fight and nobody has to apologize for anything . bill walks up to ridge and asks where katie is . and other than congrats , he 'd like them to know that he is going to write a glowing review .

( applause ) ridge : we 'd also like to thank everyone at forrester creations . we could n't have done this without you , as well as the fact that the royalty line would n't have even happened without our beautiful and talented katie logan . ( applause ) eric : it was katie 's brainchild from the very beginning . and she spearheaded the whole thing . katie , you should come up here . come on . come on . come on . come on . come on . ( applause ) katie : um , thank you -- thank you all so much , really . um , this was -- this was a great night , and none of this would have happened if it were n't for the beautiful designs , uh , from ridge and from eric . and we 're -- we 're really so happy to be here . this was a spectacular night of fashion . uh , jackie m. was -- was fantastic . and , uh , some of us got to dress up like princesses and queens , which was very fun . and we paid homage to the real king of fashion , forrester creations , which tonight has regained its place among fashion royalty , uh , thanks in large part to a handsome prince who did the noble and decent and right thing . and i ca n't thank him enough , from the bottom of my heart . ( applause ) [ scene_break ] ridge : it seems things came through for us , logan . thank you ... for everything . donna : is n't this the most glorious night ? ridge : and to our newest forrester royalty , the fabulous logan ladies . katie : ohh . donna : oh , hi . brooke : hey . i can just imagine what you 're feeling . katie : yeah . donna : it must feel like such a rush . katie : oh , you -- you ca n't imagine . it 's amazing . brooke : oh , i think we can , right , donna ? donna : i do n't know . the glow on your face and the sparkle in your eye ... katie : ( giggles ) donna : must mean just one thing . that you do n't want the night to end . so come on , let 's go party . brooke : yeah . donna : let 's go . katie : uh , okay . donna : ( giggles ) brooke : that way . katie : okay . brooke : come on . come on . katie : okay .

( clears throat ) [ scene_break ] nick : well , we fought a good fight , and we gave it our all . nobody here has anything to apologize for . stephanie : nick 's absolutely right . the voting could have just as easily gone our way . whip : yeah , but it 's like we had the whole thing sewn up until the very last minute . then something happened . i do n't know what . [ scene_break ] ( indistinct conversations ) bill : i 'm looking for katie . ridge : she 's backstage changing with her sisters . eric : is there something else ? bill : other than offering my congrats , letting you know that i 've instructed jarrett to write a glowing review . taylor : so does that mean you 're going to stop attacking forrester in the press ? marcus : yeah . what 's your deal , man ? steffy : there 's got ta be a catch . stephanie : one would assume so , would n't one ? bridget : hey , i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just wanted to ... congratulate everyone . stephanie : as much as it pains us bridget : ohh ! eric : ( chuckles ) stephanie : ( chuckles ) congratulations , honey . eric : you 'll be all right . you 'll be all right . bridget : hey . eric : thank you . rick : spencer ... bridget : great job . rick : what 's going on with you ? why are you backing off , for real ? bill : you can thank katie and her royalty campaign . bridget : well , that was n't my idea . bill : they changed my mind . donna : so ... when you were on stage , you said something about a handsome prince doing the noble thing . is there something we should know ? katie : like what ? brooke : like who you were talking about . donna : does this prince have a name ? katie : they usually do . donna : and ? katie : you know , i am just pinching myself . this night is so amazing . you know , of course , i had confidence in eric and ridge 's designs , but it 's just unbelievable . donna : well , the judges did make it seem like jackie m. was gon na win . brooke : i certainly wonder what could have turned them around . katie : i guess when you do the right thing and you be the best person that you can be , it pays off . donna : sounds like you 're talking about that handsome prince again . brooke : whoever he may be . katie : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] whip : i 'm not paying you to stand around . thank you very much . move quickly . oh ! i 'm s -- i 'm sorry . excuse me . did n't realize . bill : well , obviously you did n't . whip : ( sighs ) bill : you must still be reeling from jackie m. 's loss . whip : reeling ? no . although i 'd be lying if i said i was n't surprised . bill : thought the judges were leaning your way , did ya ? whip : well , so did everybody , including the forresters . you have any idea what happened ? bill : a beautiful young lady with a , uh , certain way of affecting people 's lives happened . better luck next time . [ scene_break ] donna : who knew ... stephanie : oh . donna : stephanie forrester a gracious loser ? stephanie : hmm , are we rubbing it in ? donna : no , no . i meant that as a compliment , really . stephanie : well , all right then . thank you . although i have to be honest and say i think that your success tonight was really due to ridge and eric 's designs and not to this , um , little , i do n't know , cockamamie idea of logan girls as royalty . donna : well , i guess everyone is entitled to their opinion . but just so you know , tonight was not only a success for forrester creations , but , um , for brooke and ridge , as well . [ scene_break ] woman : look at this one . brooke : feels good , does n't it ? ridge : oh , we needed this victory tonight in the worst way . brooke : i know how concerned you 've been about forrester 's future . ridge : we 're not out of the woods yet , logan . brooke : no , but it does n't mean we ca n't appreciate everything that we 've accomplished , for the company , for ourselves , as a couple . ridge : logan . brooke : ridge , we really need to stop this ridiculousness . i wan na be with you , and i know you want to be with me . so why do n't we just celebrate , stop putting this off any longer and celebrate in every way ? i want you to come home with me . taylor : nice try , brooke . brooke : ( sighs ) taylor : but ridge is coming home with me . ridge : okay , listen , you both know how i feel about you . you are beautiful , intelligent , amazing women . you 've given me wonderful children and more love than one man could possibly ask for . but i know i ca n't live with both of you . so , look , after much thought on this , i realize there 's only one decision i can make . [ scene_break ] jarrett : ooh , do n't mind if i do . ( chuckles ) thank you . to the forresters and a well - deserved victory . i - i could n't be more thrilled for you . thomas : well , so is your boss , apparently . steffy : actually , he congratulated us . marcus : well , better -- he even gave you the go - ahead to write a rave review about us . eric : which is actually fairly curious , since all he 's done for the last few months is try to drive my company into the ground . thomas : what 's going on here , jarrett ? we want the real story . rick : that 's exactly what i asked spencer earlier . steffy : and ? jarrett : and the reason he is n't still trying to bury forrester ... jarrett : me thinks the dark prince hath found his heart this evening , all because of fair katie logan . eric : no . jarrett : cheers . oh , this is very good . [ scene_break ] katie : tonight 's been like a roller - coaster ride . i just ca n't believe what happened . bill : neither can i. i had forrester in the palm of my hand , and i let it go . my father would be disgusted that i did n't do it . worse , that i could n't do it because of a woman . you see , he always said that a woman could be the most destructive force in a man 's life . bill : and tonight that was proven true . my plan was ruined all because of you , katie logan .Summarize.[/INST]katie asks bill if the judges are in his pocket . she needs to know if he fixed the fashion challenge . she 's incensed that this is just another plot for him to take over the company that her family loves . she thought he was deeper than that ; more honorable . this is so sad ; for someone so smart - this is so stupid . jackie m 's showing is so hot and steamy with the cougar image that the audience is literally fanning themselves . bill is uncomfortable as katie glares at him . dottie congratulates both forrester creations and jackie m and now the judge 's decision . katie is shocked when fc is declared the winner . eric makes a speech in which he thanks his competitor and his daughter for her brilliant designs . he calls up katie and she too pays homage to fc . and she looks right at bill when she gives thanks to a handsome prince who stepped up and did the noble and decent right thing and she thanks him from the bottom of her heart . ridge gives brooke a hug and says she came through for them . he ca n't thank her enough . katie is about to make a bee - line to bill , but is waylaid by her sisters instead . they congratulate her and want to go party . she gives a backward glance to bill . jarrett tells bill that he is not going soft . this time decency and romance came out on top . he gets so carried away that he hugs bill who has to ask him to get off of him . nick gives his group a pep talk . they fought the good fight and nobody has to apologize for anything . bill walks up to ridge and asks where katie is . and other than congrats , he 'd like them to know that he is going to write a glowing review .</s>

liam panics when he hears that hope might be having a contraction . she only wanted a romantic babymoon on catalina not this being separated from him . he says no matter what he will find a way to get there . meantime he knows things will be fine , just call the desk and insist on seeing a doctor . bill tells wyatt that he has only heard it like a thousand times that him without his sword is like superman without his cape . he is determined to do one thing and that is to be a worthy father to will , liam and him . liam goes around in circles trying to explain to the helicopter clerk that he has to get to catalina . kiera and matt chime in that this is so exciting , hope having her baby . the manager does show up at hope 's door and says she will help her get to the clinic . they make it but only dr. buckingham is there . turns out there is an emergency at the hotel and the manager has to return . dr. buckingham says he will take very good care of hope and the baby . yes is sorry that the delivery is not working out as planned . he is the only doctor here at the moment but he does not want her to worry . he is a qualified ob / gyn and will assist her here and he is associated with the hospital in l.a. too . she pats her tummy and assures beth all will be okay .

[ sighs ] let me guess -- she was asking about billy . i bet that she claims she has a right to know because they were so close -- well , closer than i ever knew . and now the entire town will . if they do n't now , they will soon enough . that 's what happens when , uh ... your husband tells you in a room full of people that he slept with another woman . stitch : i am so sorry . victoria : you know what ? thank you , but it gets worse . listen to this . billy just woke up , and he does n't remember anything about last night -- at least not the part where he confessed that he cheated on me with kelly . and as if that was n't painful enough , it 's nothing compared to knowing that he 's still lying to me . billy : will someone please tell me why victoria is acting so weird ? it 's like she could n't get out of here fast enough . does this have something to do with adam ? have they found his body ? i mean , please tell me the guy is not alive . jack : this has nothing to do with adam . billy : then what ? jill : all right , sweetie . i 'm gon na go find the doctor because he should have been in here by now . billy : you know , you and mom are not exactly subtle . she knows what 's going on with victoria , does n't she ? you both do . so , why do n't you fill me in , jack ? what is it that everyone 's trying not to tell me ? lily : consider us even . we do n't owe you a thing now , so please do n't bother asking . let 's go , kids . wait for us by the elevator , okay ? colin : [ sighs ] jill : well , well , well . congratulations . colin : for what ? jill : seems like you won them over , hmm ? colin : mm . so what ? a slight thaw , a best . does n't mean to say they wo n't call the cops if i so much as look twice at the kids . but it was interesting . they do n't remember me or what i am to them . jill : sulking , are we ? colin : just a fact . jill : i seriously doubt that lily and cane would go to that extreme -- siccing the authorities on you -- given your heroics at the club . colin : ohh . see , now you 're impressed . jill : [ laughing ] really ? what am i impressed by ? colin : my illusion of becoming a model citizen . jill : you kidnap me . you blackmail me into marrying you . if that 's your idea of model behavior , you 're even more deluded than i thought . colin : the love of a good woman will make you do stuff like that . jill : really ? ! and what woman would that be ? colin : this hot chick i 'm looking at as we speak ! jill : ah , i see . but , `` a , `` i do n't love you , colin , and , `` b , `` i 'm immune to your charm , so stop oozing it all over me , okay ? although i realize this might be difficult for you 'cause you 've always gotten exactly what you wanted , have n't you ? colin : not always . in fact , i 'm still waiting for that romantic dinner with my blushing bride . now that we know that your kid 's out of trouble , how 'bout tonight ? victoria : i just wish i knew what to do . should i confront billy and tell him that i know his big secret or just wait and see how long it takes for him to admit that he slept with kelly , which could be forever since , clearly , he 's in no hurry to tell me the truth ? he would n't have blurted it out in front of half the town if he had n't have been delirious from pain . sorry , ben . i should n't be unloading all this on you . stitch : hey , everyone needs an ear sometimes . i just happen to have two , so no waiting . victoria : i was just so scared , you know ? that awful man ... waving that gun around , firing shots ... and the chandelier falling . i thought it had crushed billy , and all i could do was sit there and hold his hand and tell him that i was there . you know , having billy nearby always made me feel calm , but not anymore . i ca n't stand to be around him , and it kills me to look in his eyes and know that he 's lying to me . colin : i 've been over billy 's test results . he 'll be in some pain from the fractured ribs , but there was no head injury , no permanent damage . victoria : meaning that he 's gon na remember ? [ sighs ] and then i 'll have to listen to my husband tell me again how sleeping with kelly was about his grief and how he still loves me , blah blah blah . stitch : do you love billy ? victoria : of course i do . stitch : enough to hear him out ? billy : what , did you get some bad news from the doctor ? is that why victoria 's so freaked out ? jack : take it easy . take it easy . take a big breath , okay ? billy : [ groans ] jack : okay . oh , boy . maybe that 's not a good idea . billy : just tell me , okay ? ! whatever it is , do n't make me play these guessing games ! jack : things last night were pretty stressful for everyone in that ballroom -- especially victoria . billy : yeah , because of me putting myself in danger again . jack : yeah , that did n't help . billy : [ sighs ] god , i should have never attacked womack . it was a bonehead move . i was in no shape for a fight . did that stop me ? hell , no . jack : your friend kelly was pretty upset , too . billy : yeah , well , who was n't ? we were all being held at gunpoint by a trigger - happy ex - con who was getting desperate ! he could have gone psycho at any minute -- started picking off hostages ! jack : kelly was the person you told me about earlier -- the woman you met in your grief support group , the woman who understood you in a way no one else did , including your wife ? billy : kelly is someone i could talk to , lean on . jack : you did more than lean on her , billy . you took her to bed . billy : i love my wife . jack : yeah , well , your wife knows about it now , as does everyone who was within earshot . the chandelier knocked you silly , and you admitted to your wife that you and kelly had had a one - night stand . billy : oh , my god . vicki knows . i got to -- i got to get to her . jack : no , no , no , no . you ca n't go anywhere . billy : no , i got to talk to he jack : you are in no condition to go anywhere . billy ! billy : i do n't care ! let go of me ! i got to get to her ! jack : not now . listen to me . victoria left because she needs some space . the least you could do is give her that . lily : i promise this wo n't take long . cane : why are we stopping here again ? lily : i just want to leave a list of repairs for the contractor for the ballroom , and when i 'm done , we can get back to our welcome - home party . cane : the ballroom 's not booked until may . lily : no , i know . i just want to get it done . nobody needs a reminder of what happened last night . cane : i 'm okay . lily : i know . all right , you guys . i 'll be back as soon as i can , okay ? charlie : okay . lily : take care of your daddy . thank you . cane : bye . charlie : come on , daddy . you 'd better sit down . cane : all right . we 'll sit down . [ sighs ] you know , your mommy worries about me , but i 'm okay . i 'm not 100 % , but i 'm okay . mattie : because that man helped you ? cane : yes , because that man helped me ... for once . colin : yeah , around 8 : 00 . the corner table -- the booth . i want the pretty flowers and the whole number . you got it . ciao . jill : reservations will really not be necessary . colin : wait a minute . you agreed . you ca n't back out now . jill : oh , who 's backing out ? dinner is served . colin : first it was cheese and crackers , then potato crisps . what ever happened to the six - pack of beer ? jill : colin , after all the lies you told me the other time when we were married ? oh , excuse me -- supposedly married . and then you hire a hit man to go after genevieve and gloria ? please . for somebody like you , this is as good as it gets , okay ? mmm . delicious , actually . colin : romantic meal , jill , is defined by something not out of a vending machine . jill : is this all about food ? that is so shallow of you . colin : come on . ok , all i 'm looking for is just a - a little effort , a little -- jill : romance . i get it . i get it . okay . here you go . mm . do n't say i never gave you anything , baby . colin : really , jill ? jill : you may be the hero of genoa city right now , but this is about as lovey- dovey as the two of us are ever gon na get . colin : you keep telling yourself that . lily : i 'm in the ballroom now . i already made a list of repairs . yes . i 'll just leave the clipboard on the bar , and then that way , when you and the electrician stop by , you can take a look and just leave me an estimate . okay , great . thank you . bye . kelly , hi . kelly : hi . lily : how are you doing ? kelly : um , still kind of shaky . lily : yeah , i , uh -- i know the feeling . kelly : uh , i was at the police station earlier , giving my statement , and the detective said that all of our personal property was still here . i was hoping to get my cell phone . lily : oh , yes . of course . you are welcome to take a look . if it 's not in here , then maybe somebody picked it up . you know , that happens a lot -- people taking other people 's things . kelly : yeah . duly noted . how are you ? how 's your husband ? lily : um , he 's good . he got released from the hospital this morning , thank god , so i hope billy does , too . kelly : listen , let 's just get the elephant out of the room , okay ? i am sorry that victoria found out the way she did , in front of all those people . lily : well , i think what you should really be sorry about is the fact that you slept with her husband . kelly : and i truly am . if i could take it back , i would in a second . i know that billy loves victoria , and i truly hope the two of them can get past this . lily : well , the problem is that no matter how strong a couple is , after a betrayal like this , whether it gets better or it gets worse , it 's not easy . michael : if the doll was locked in its case but womack had the combination , then that would seem to -- lauren : okay . honey , can i not relive every moment of last night ? the important thing is that womack is dead . he is not a threat to our son anymore . and i feel like i can breathe for the first time in months . fen is free , and carmine is out of our lives for good . michael : well , you know , i would like to think that . lauren : why would n't you ? michael : this ... came for you . lauren : postcard ? `` i know we wo n't be seeing each other for a while , but you 'll never be far from my thoughts . `` michael : there 's no signature . lauren : we both know who this is from . michael : [ sighs ] lauren : he 's never gon na stop , is he ? [ sighs ] lauren : carmine is gon na keep haunting our family ! there is just no escape ! it 's like sheila all over again ! michael : listen to me . you 've got to calm down . lauren : no . do n't you understand what he 's doing ? it does n't even matter where he is . michael : carmine is in a witness protection program . he is being watched by marshals 24/7 . he can not hurt you anymore . he can not hurt us . lauren : the only reason he s being protected is because he turned state 's evidence against womack . he traded information for a new name and a new life , somewhere where womack could n't find him . and now that he is dead , what is to keep carmine from coming back here ? kelly : you know , when i came to genoa city , i wanted a fresh start . after sam died , i ... i could n't live in the house anymore . there was n't a place that i could go to that was n't flooded with memories of him . i just wanted to be able to walk down the street without people staring at me and pitying me , saying , `` oh , there 's the lady whose son was killed . oh , thank god it was n't us , honey , `` like it might be contagious or something . at least here , if people want to shun me , i know i brought it on myself . lily : it takes two . kelly : excuse me ? lily : look -- i mean , billy made a choice , you know ? he 's not blameless in all of this . kelly : thank you . sometimes women can be really cruel to other women , so i 'm surprised you 're not attacking me . lily : look -- i mean , i 'm not a fan of women who get between other couples , but i 'm not gon na stand here and pass judgment on you and billy , either . kelly : i appreciate that . lily : you know , sometimes couples just drift apart . you know , they find somebody better to relate to , and it does n't make it right , but it happens . kelly : sounds like you 're speaking from experience ? lily : i am , yeah . but i was lucky enough to get through that and have a solid relationship with the man that i love . and i really hope that billy and victoria can , too , because i do believe that some couples are just meant to be together . kelly : so i hear . lily : so , you 've been married ? kelly : yeah . but , you know , when sam ... we just gave up . we stopped trying . what was the point ? we were n't a family anymore . our lives were never gon na be the same . unless someone goes through it , it 's hard for people to understand . lily : but billy did . kelly : he did . i never had to explain to him the emptiness and the self- loathing . he was living the same nightmare i was . lily : yeah , although he had a family and wife to lean on , and you had no one . [ door opens ] victoria : will you give us a minute , jack ? jack : yeah . take all the time you need . i 'll see that you 're not interrupted . billy : i 'm glad that you came back . victoria : there are some things that we need to discuss -- some things that happened . billy : i know what i said last night ... about kelly and me . victoria : you remember ? billy : i was pretty out of it , but , uh ... jack filled in some missing pieces . i 'm so sorry it came out like that ... in public . victoria : how exactly did you expect it to come out ? were you just waiting for a night after you and i tucked johnny in together and you were just gon na sit me down on the couch and ... tell me that you had sex with another woman ? or maybe [ sighs ] you were gon na take me out to dinner -- do it somewhere public so i could n't make a scene . i mean , honestly , i can think of a dozen different ways that you could have told me . but you did n't . you chose to lie to me day after day , week after week . so , i have one question for you , and i want you to be honest . were you ever planning on telling me about kelly ? billy : the second that it was over , i - i knew i had made a terrible mistake . i swear , if i could undo it , i would . victoria : answer the question , billy . were you planning on telling me -- yes or no ? billy : yes , i was . i swear to you , victoria , when i got home , i saw the look in your eyes and all of the love that was there , and i knew how much it would hurt you . and i could n't do it . so , at that point , i made a vow that i would try and be a better man -- never do anything ever again that would make you want to leave me . victoria : oh , yeah , and we all know how good you are at keeping your vows . billy : vick , please . i - i know this is hard , but try and understand . i did n't have sex with kelly out of love or lust . it was out of pain and the loss of my child . i was just trying to stop hurting , and so was kelly . victoria : oh . well , did it help ? did it help you ? did it take away the pain ? billy : no . in fact , it made everything that much worse . victoria : so , you threw away our life ... and the marriage that we worked so hard to try to rebuild for nothing -- nothing ? is that what you 're telling me ? billy : baby , i 'm so sorry i hurt you . i love you so much . please , please tell me i have n't screwed up everything . victoria : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] kelly : it 's such a relief being able to talk to someone . lily : yeah , it is nice . uh , i just -- i have a question . is that why you offered to help set up the charity -- as a way to stay connected to billy ? kelly : no ! lily , come on . i work for a nonprofit , remember ? adam came to me for help setting up the delia foundation . lily : okay . no , sorry . it was my mistake . kelly : let me just get this straight -- neither billy nor i went to that grief support group looking for anything beyond just simple human understanding . that is it . i 'm not under any illusion . what happened between us ... is never gon na be anything more . billy was a good friend that i 'm really sad to lose . cane : is this our family ? yeah ? we look really happy , do n't we ? mattie : we are happy because daddy 's okay . cane : yeah , i 'm okay . charlie : do you have a daddy ? cane : do i have a daddy ? of course i have a daddy . everyone 's got a daddy . mattie : why do n't we know him ? cane : um ... you know , i think maybe one day you could maybe , you know , get to know him . lily : hey , guys . uh , you know what ? i think the desk clerk has some leftover valentine 's candy . why do n't you go see if he 'll give you some ? [ chuckles ] cane : i take it you overhead that ? lily : interesting coincidence . cane : yeah , i think that 's all it was . and before you ask , no way -- i was n't tempted to tell them colin 's their grandfather . lily : not even a little bit ? cane : no , 'cause that would be something we would discuss first , not that there 's anything to discuss , because i know you do n't want him in their lives . neither do i . and i think that what happened this morning -- lily : i know . i know . it could n't -- it could n't be helped . cane : listen , i promise to you this is not gon na be a gateway for more . lily : but , cane , as much as i am grateful that colin saved your life ... cane : i know . i know . he always has an agenda . i just do n't know what it is this time . jill : huh . is that a challenge ? colin : whatever it takes . jill : i see . okay . so , the charm and the coercion have n't worked . now we 're on to mind games . that 's all right . two can play at that . colin : i like a good mind game . you play one of the best . jill : well , thank you . but stop it . you 're making my knees go all weak . colin : me thinketh the lady protesteth too much . jill : my knees really are fine . colin : they certainly are . jill : god , you 're relentless . colin : one of the qualities you used to like best about me , amongst other things , of course . jill : mm - hmm . that was then . colin : you ever hear about that saying -- you know , the one about the past becoming the present ? jill : colin , if i believed for one moment that you were the man i once thought you were -- colin : look , i realize i 'm gon na have to earn back the trust , and i will , but , well , in the meantime ... jill : what do you think you 're dong ? colin : my god . how long has it been ? jill : we 're in a hospital , for god 's sake . colin : so what ? it 's a building full of beds ! when did that ever matter to you ? it was a desktop . why do n't we just make it a repeat performance at the nurses ' station ? jill : not happening -- not ever . colin : that 's too bad . i - i guess you 're really not all that anxious to find out about the mystery of katherine 's music box . and i guess now -- well ... jill : [ sighs ] colin : ... you never will . jill : okay . okay . okay . one -- one kiss , and then you tell me what you know . colin : okay . just one . jill : okay , just one . colin : just one . jill : okay . [ sighs ] colin : [ clears throat ] jill : all right . start talking . colin : last time i was here ... [ clears throat ] excuse me . ... i overheard katherine talking to her attorney about something she was going to put in this music box for you to find after she died . jill : the music box was empty ! colin : not quite . i removed the certain something before the box was consigned to safekeeping . what it means is that if you want to unlock that mystery , well , you got to go through me . jill : i am going through you . colin : now , darling -- jill : do n't you `` now , darling `` me ! come on . we had a deal -- one kiss in exchange for what you know . colin : my memory 's a little fuzzy with the details . jill : oh , you 're such an ass ! colin : [ chuckles ] perhaps -- just perhaps ... if you goosed me with another one of those incredible -- jill : this would be a really good time for you to start earning back that trust we were talking about . colin : okay . what i found inside the box ... made no sense to me at all , but , then again , it meant something to katherine , so i figured maybe you would understand . jill : `` rachel berenson `` ? colin : yeah . makes no sense to me . i mean , who or what 's a rachel berenson ? jill : i do n't know . colin : [ sighs ] you would n't be trying to pull a fast one on the old man , now , would you ? 'cause if you think you 're gon na go off in pursuit of this on your own , forget it . i 'm gon na be with you all the way . michael : well , thank you , buddy . that 's another one i owe you . bye . lauren : so , what did ronan say ? michael : ronan confirmed that carmine has been moved to puerto rico by the u.s . marshals . lauren : and that 's gon na continue even though womack is dead ? michael : womack 's associates are pretty loyal . word at the bureau is there 's still a contract out for carmine 's life , so if he 's dumb enough to leave witness protection , he 'll be hunted down and most likely killed . lauren : so , then ... it is over ... at least for now . we 're free to move on . michael : yeah . that 's my gal . lauren : yeah ? michael : we ca n't let carmine and his pathetic messages keep us from living our lives . lauren : amen . watch this . michael : [ chuckles ] lauren : now ... shall we ? lily : oh , my goodness . whose idea was it to give you sugar before lunch ? cane : uh , that would have been your idea . lily : hey , no imaginary pogo stick in the revolving door . thank you ! cane : all right . you know what just occurred to me ? lily : yes ? what ? cane : that we have not finished our anniversary celebration . lily : you 're right . we did n't . cane : and now we have to wait until they crash from the sugar high . lily : uh , i have a feeling that you 're gon na crash first , and , by the way , you 're due for your next dose of pain meds . cane : maybe i wo n't take it and i 'll just tough it out . lily : actually , i 'd rather wait until you 're healed so that we can really celebrate . cane : i like the sound of that . guess what i have planned for you for our celebration . it involves candles and champagne and flowers . lily : honey , all that sounds great , but all that i really need is you . jack : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . if you 're going where i think you are , do n't . you should n't be here . kelly : hi , jack . i - i just wanted to go and apologize to billy . jack : billy is talking with his wife right now . it may take some time . maybe you should go . stitch : hey . jack is right . you do n't belong here . i tried telling you that earlier . why do n't you leave before you make things worse ? kelly : who the hell do you think you are ? you 're the last person to tell me how not to make things worse . billy : vicki , please tell me you 'll stay . we 'll work things out . i will -- i will do anything . just please do n't leave me . victoria : i 'm not saying that it 's over . billy : baby , i promise you wo n't regret this . okay ? [ groans ] i love you -- only you , okay ? victoria : i ca n't . [ next_on ] nick : you wanted to talk ? what 's up ? dylan : this is about us protecting nikki . nick : from what ? dylan : ian ward . paul : you have n't told victor that ward is back in town , have you ? victor : you just have got to trust me . chelsea : trust you ? this is all happening because of you . you 're the reason adam 's dead .

billy ca n't remember that he told victoria he had a one - night stand with kelly in front of a room full of people , so jack fills in the gaps in his memory . victoria confides in stitch that she is hurt that billy lied to her and wonders if he ever intended to tell her the truth . billy tells victoria he slept with kelly to try and get over the pain of delia 's death , but it did n't help anything ; it only made things worse . billy asks for victoria 's forgiveness and she says their marriage is n't over , but she needs some time to think about things . kelly finds a friend in lily who does n't think she should have come between billy and victoria , but she thinks that billy and victoria might have been having some problems before she came along or else she would n't have been able to come between them . kelly tells lily that she got divorced , because things were never the same again in her marriage after her son sam died .

<s>[INST] [ indistinct conversation ] lily : hey ! it 's official ? no more paperwork ? you 're done ? you 're out ? cane : i 'm done . lily : ohh ! you guys , daddy gets to go home ! charlie : daddy ! mattie : he 's here ! he 's here ! cane : hey . hey . lily : hey , be careful . daddy 's still very sore . cane : no , i 'm okay . daddy 's okay . remember ? i 'm a superhero . lily : yeah , you 're a superhero who needs to rest , okay ? you 're in no condition to leap over tall buildings or go through the city , huh ? cane : hey , my condition 's fine . daddy 's very lucky , okay ? so , let 's get out of here before that nurse wants to put daddy in a wheelchair and pull me to the car . hey , guys , clean up your stuff first , okay ? lily : thank you . hey . i was thinking ... cane : yeah ? lily : i think it 's time for us to hang up our capes , because last night -- it was a close call , and if it had n't been for colin -- colin : always happy to assist . cane : of course you are , 'cause nothing makes you happier than having somebody owe you , huh ? jill : hey , you . how you feeling ? billy : mom ? where 's victoria ? victoria : i 'm right here . [ sighs ] i 'm so relieved you 're okay . jack : hey , hey , hey . take it easy . after last night , you 're gon na be sore for a while . billy : why ? what happened ? victoria : you do n't remember ? billy : it 's all a bit hazy . lauren : honey . hi . ohh . oh , babe . michael : [ sighs ] is it ever good to see your face again . lauren : [ chuckles ] yours , too . i just love this face . michael : did you get a statement ? lauren : uh , yeah -- not a coherent one . it was very chaotic . michael : look , i took the first plane back after fenmore called . i should have been there . i am sorry .

[ sighs ] let me guess -- she was asking about billy . i bet that she claims she has a right to know because they were so close -- well , closer than i ever knew . and now the entire town will . if they do n't now , they will soon enough . that 's what happens when , uh ... your husband tells you in a room full of people that he slept with another woman . stitch : i am so sorry . victoria : you know what ? thank you , but it gets worse . listen to this . billy just woke up , and he does n't remember anything about last night -- at least not the part where he confessed that he cheated on me with kelly . and as if that was n't painful enough , it 's nothing compared to knowing that he 's still lying to me . billy : will someone please tell me why victoria is acting so weird ? it 's like she could n't get out of here fast enough . does this have something to do with adam ? have they found his body ? i mean , please tell me the guy is not alive . jack : this has nothing to do with adam . billy : then what ? jill : all right , sweetie . i 'm gon na go find the doctor because he should have been in here by now . billy : you know , you and mom are not exactly subtle . she knows what 's going on with victoria , does n't she ? you both do . so , why do n't you fill me in , jack ? what is it that everyone 's trying not to tell me ? lily : consider us even . we do n't owe you a thing now , so please do n't bother asking . let 's go , kids . wait for us by the elevator , okay ? colin : [ sighs ] jill : well , well , well . congratulations . colin : for what ? jill : seems like you won them over , hmm ? colin : mm . so what ? a slight thaw , a best . does n't mean to say they wo n't call the cops if i so much as look twice at the kids . but it was interesting . they do n't remember me or what i am to them . jill : sulking , are we ? colin : just a fact . jill : i seriously doubt that lily and cane would go to that extreme -- siccing the authorities on you -- given your heroics at the club . colin : ohh . see , now you 're impressed . jill : [ laughing ] really ? what am i impressed by ? colin : my illusion of becoming a model citizen . jill : you kidnap me . you blackmail me into marrying you . if that 's your idea of model behavior , you 're even more deluded than i thought . colin : the love of a good woman will make you do stuff like that . jill : really ? ! and what woman would that be ? colin : this hot chick i 'm looking at as we speak ! jill : ah , i see . but , `` a , `` i do n't love you , colin , and , `` b , `` i 'm immune to your charm , so stop oozing it all over me , okay ? although i realize this might be difficult for you 'cause you 've always gotten exactly what you wanted , have n't you ? colin : not always . in fact , i 'm still waiting for that romantic dinner with my blushing bride . now that we know that your kid 's out of trouble , how 'bout tonight ? victoria : i just wish i knew what to do . should i confront billy and tell him that i know his big secret or just wait and see how long it takes for him to admit that he slept with kelly , which could be forever since , clearly , he 's in no hurry to tell me the truth ? he would n't have blurted it out in front of half the town if he had n't have been delirious from pain . sorry , ben . i should n't be unloading all this on you . stitch : hey , everyone needs an ear sometimes . i just happen to have two , so no waiting . victoria : i was just so scared , you know ? that awful man ... waving that gun around , firing shots ... and the chandelier falling . i thought it had crushed billy , and all i could do was sit there and hold his hand and tell him that i was there . you know , having billy nearby always made me feel calm , but not anymore . i ca n't stand to be around him , and it kills me to look in his eyes and know that he 's lying to me . colin : i 've been over billy 's test results . he 'll be in some pain from the fractured ribs , but there was no head injury , no permanent damage . victoria : meaning that he 's gon na remember ? [ sighs ] and then i 'll have to listen to my husband tell me again how sleeping with kelly was about his grief and how he still loves me , blah blah blah . stitch : do you love billy ? victoria : of course i do . stitch : enough to hear him out ? billy : what , did you get some bad news from the doctor ? is that why victoria 's so freaked out ? jack : take it easy . take it easy . take a big breath , okay ? billy : [ groans ] jack : okay . oh , boy . maybe that 's not a good idea . billy : just tell me , okay ? ! whatever it is , do n't make me play these guessing games ! jack : things last night were pretty stressful for everyone in that ballroom -- especially victoria . billy : yeah , because of me putting myself in danger again . jack : yeah , that did n't help . billy : [ sighs ] god , i should have never attacked womack . it was a bonehead move . i was in no shape for a fight . did that stop me ? hell , no . jack : your friend kelly was pretty upset , too . billy : yeah , well , who was n't ? we were all being held at gunpoint by a trigger - happy ex - con who was getting desperate ! he could have gone psycho at any minute -- started picking off hostages ! jack : kelly was the person you told me about earlier -- the woman you met in your grief support group , the woman who understood you in a way no one else did , including your wife ? billy : kelly is someone i could talk to , lean on . jack : you did more than lean on her , billy . you took her to bed . billy : i love my wife . jack : yeah , well , your wife knows about it now , as does everyone who was within earshot . the chandelier knocked you silly , and you admitted to your wife that you and kelly had had a one - night stand . billy : oh , my god . vicki knows . i got to -- i got to get to her . jack : no , no , no , no . you ca n't go anywhere . billy : no , i got to talk to he jack : you are in no condition to go anywhere . billy ! billy : i do n't care ! let go of me ! i got to get to her ! jack : not now . listen to me . victoria left because she needs some space . the least you could do is give her that . lily : i promise this wo n't take long . cane : why are we stopping here again ? lily : i just want to leave a list of repairs for the contractor for the ballroom , and when i 'm done , we can get back to our welcome - home party . cane : the ballroom 's not booked until may . lily : no , i know . i just want to get it done . nobody needs a reminder of what happened last night . cane : i 'm okay . lily : i know . all right , you guys . i 'll be back as soon as i can , okay ? charlie : okay . lily : take care of your daddy . thank you . cane : bye . charlie : come on , daddy . you 'd better sit down . cane : all right . we 'll sit down . [ sighs ] you know , your mommy worries about me , but i 'm okay . i 'm not 100 % , but i 'm okay . mattie : because that man helped you ? cane : yes , because that man helped me ... for once . colin : yeah , around 8 : 00 . the corner table -- the booth . i want the pretty flowers and the whole number . you got it . ciao . jill : reservations will really not be necessary . colin : wait a minute . you agreed . you ca n't back out now . jill : oh , who 's backing out ? dinner is served . colin : first it was cheese and crackers , then potato crisps . what ever happened to the six - pack of beer ? jill : colin , after all the lies you told me the other time when we were married ? oh , excuse me -- supposedly married . and then you hire a hit man to go after genevieve and gloria ? please . for somebody like you , this is as good as it gets , okay ? mmm . delicious , actually . colin : romantic meal , jill , is defined by something not out of a vending machine . jill : is this all about food ? that is so shallow of you . colin : come on . ok , all i 'm looking for is just a - a little effort , a little -- jill : romance . i get it . i get it . okay . here you go . mm . do n't say i never gave you anything , baby . colin : really , jill ? jill : you may be the hero of genoa city right now , but this is about as lovey- dovey as the two of us are ever gon na get . colin : you keep telling yourself that . lily : i 'm in the ballroom now . i already made a list of repairs . yes . i 'll just leave the clipboard on the bar , and then that way , when you and the electrician stop by , you can take a look and just leave me an estimate . okay , great . thank you . bye . kelly , hi . kelly : hi . lily : how are you doing ? kelly : um , still kind of shaky . lily : yeah , i , uh -- i know the feeling . kelly : uh , i was at the police station earlier , giving my statement , and the detective said that all of our personal property was still here . i was hoping to get my cell phone . lily : oh , yes . of course . you are welcome to take a look . if it 's not in here , then maybe somebody picked it up . you know , that happens a lot -- people taking other people 's things . kelly : yeah . duly noted . how are you ? how 's your husband ? lily : um , he 's good . he got released from the hospital this morning , thank god , so i hope billy does , too . kelly : listen , let 's just get the elephant out of the room , okay ? i am sorry that victoria found out the way she did , in front of all those people . lily : well , i think what you should really be sorry about is the fact that you slept with her husband . kelly : and i truly am . if i could take it back , i would in a second . i know that billy loves victoria , and i truly hope the two of them can get past this . lily : well , the problem is that no matter how strong a couple is , after a betrayal like this , whether it gets better or it gets worse , it 's not easy . michael : if the doll was locked in its case but womack had the combination , then that would seem to -- lauren : okay . honey , can i not relive every moment of last night ? the important thing is that womack is dead . he is not a threat to our son anymore . and i feel like i can breathe for the first time in months . fen is free , and carmine is out of our lives for good . michael : well , you know , i would like to think that . lauren : why would n't you ? michael : this ... came for you . lauren : postcard ? `` i know we wo n't be seeing each other for a while , but you 'll never be far from my thoughts . `` michael : there 's no signature . lauren : we both know who this is from . michael : [ sighs ] lauren : he 's never gon na stop , is he ? [ sighs ] lauren : carmine is gon na keep haunting our family ! there is just no escape ! it 's like sheila all over again ! michael : listen to me . you 've got to calm down . lauren : no . do n't you understand what he 's doing ? it does n't even matter where he is . michael : carmine is in a witness protection program . he is being watched by marshals 24/7 . he can not hurt you anymore . he can not hurt us . lauren : the only reason he s being protected is because he turned state 's evidence against womack . he traded information for a new name and a new life , somewhere where womack could n't find him . and now that he is dead , what is to keep carmine from coming back here ? kelly : you know , when i came to genoa city , i wanted a fresh start . after sam died , i ... i could n't live in the house anymore . there was n't a place that i could go to that was n't flooded with memories of him . i just wanted to be able to walk down the street without people staring at me and pitying me , saying , `` oh , there 's the lady whose son was killed . oh , thank god it was n't us , honey , `` like it might be contagious or something . at least here , if people want to shun me , i know i brought it on myself . lily : it takes two . kelly : excuse me ? lily : look -- i mean , billy made a choice , you know ? he 's not blameless in all of this . kelly : thank you . sometimes women can be really cruel to other women , so i 'm surprised you 're not attacking me . lily : look -- i mean , i 'm not a fan of women who get between other couples , but i 'm not gon na stand here and pass judgment on you and billy , either . kelly : i appreciate that . lily : you know , sometimes couples just drift apart . you know , they find somebody better to relate to , and it does n't make it right , but it happens . kelly : sounds like you 're speaking from experience ? lily : i am , yeah . but i was lucky enough to get through that and have a solid relationship with the man that i love . and i really hope that billy and victoria can , too , because i do believe that some couples are just meant to be together . kelly : so i hear . lily : so , you 've been married ? kelly : yeah . but , you know , when sam ... we just gave up . we stopped trying . what was the point ? we were n't a family anymore . our lives were never gon na be the same . unless someone goes through it , it 's hard for people to understand . lily : but billy did . kelly : he did . i never had to explain to him the emptiness and the self- loathing . he was living the same nightmare i was . lily : yeah , although he had a family and wife to lean on , and you had no one . [ door opens ] victoria : will you give us a minute , jack ? jack : yeah . take all the time you need . i 'll see that you 're not interrupted . billy : i 'm glad that you came back . victoria : there are some things that we need to discuss -- some things that happened . billy : i know what i said last night ... about kelly and me . victoria : you remember ? billy : i was pretty out of it , but , uh ... jack filled in some missing pieces . i 'm so sorry it came out like that ... in public . victoria : how exactly did you expect it to come out ? were you just waiting for a night after you and i tucked johnny in together and you were just gon na sit me down on the couch and ... tell me that you had sex with another woman ? or maybe [ sighs ] you were gon na take me out to dinner -- do it somewhere public so i could n't make a scene . i mean , honestly , i can think of a dozen different ways that you could have told me . but you did n't . you chose to lie to me day after day , week after week . so , i have one question for you , and i want you to be honest . were you ever planning on telling me about kelly ? billy : the second that it was over , i - i knew i had made a terrible mistake . i swear , if i could undo it , i would . victoria : answer the question , billy . were you planning on telling me -- yes or no ? billy : yes , i was . i swear to you , victoria , when i got home , i saw the look in your eyes and all of the love that was there , and i knew how much it would hurt you . and i could n't do it . so , at that point , i made a vow that i would try and be a better man -- never do anything ever again that would make you want to leave me . victoria : oh , yeah , and we all know how good you are at keeping your vows . billy : vick , please . i - i know this is hard , but try and understand . i did n't have sex with kelly out of love or lust . it was out of pain and the loss of my child . i was just trying to stop hurting , and so was kelly . victoria : oh . well , did it help ? did it help you ? did it take away the pain ? billy : no . in fact , it made everything that much worse . victoria : so , you threw away our life ... and the marriage that we worked so hard to try to rebuild for nothing -- nothing ? is that what you 're telling me ? billy : baby , i 'm so sorry i hurt you . i love you so much . please , please tell me i have n't screwed up everything . victoria : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] kelly : it 's such a relief being able to talk to someone . lily : yeah , it is nice . uh , i just -- i have a question . is that why you offered to help set up the charity -- as a way to stay connected to billy ? kelly : no ! lily , come on . i work for a nonprofit , remember ? adam came to me for help setting up the delia foundation . lily : okay . no , sorry . it was my mistake . kelly : let me just get this straight -- neither billy nor i went to that grief support group looking for anything beyond just simple human understanding . that is it . i 'm not under any illusion . what happened between us ... is never gon na be anything more . billy was a good friend that i 'm really sad to lose . cane : is this our family ? yeah ? we look really happy , do n't we ? mattie : we are happy because daddy 's okay . cane : yeah , i 'm okay . charlie : do you have a daddy ? cane : do i have a daddy ? of course i have a daddy . everyone 's got a daddy . mattie : why do n't we know him ? cane : um ... you know , i think maybe one day you could maybe , you know , get to know him . lily : hey , guys . uh , you know what ? i think the desk clerk has some leftover valentine 's candy . why do n't you go see if he 'll give you some ?

[ sighs ] colin : [ clears throat ] jill : all right . start talking . colin : last time i was here ... [ clears throat ] excuse me . ... i overheard katherine talking to her attorney about something she was going to put in this music box for you to find after she died . jill : the music box was empty ! colin : not quite . i removed the certain something before the box was consigned to safekeeping . what it means is that if you want to unlock that mystery , well , you got to go through me . jill : i am going through you . colin : now , darling -- jill : do n't you `` now , darling `` me ! come on . we had a deal -- one kiss in exchange for what you know . colin : my memory 's a little fuzzy with the details . jill : oh , you 're such an ass ! colin : [ chuckles ] perhaps -- just perhaps ... if you goosed me with another one of those incredible -- jill : this would be a really good time for you to start earning back that trust we were talking about . colin : okay . what i found inside the box ... made no sense to me at all , but , then again , it meant something to katherine , so i figured maybe you would understand . jill : `` rachel berenson `` ? colin : yeah . makes no sense to me . i mean , who or what 's a rachel berenson ? jill : i do n't know . colin : [ sighs ] you would n't be trying to pull a fast one on the old man , now , would you ? 'cause if you think you 're gon na go off in pursuit of this on your own , forget it . i 'm gon na be with you all the way . michael : well , thank you , buddy . that 's another one i owe you . bye . lauren : so , what did ronan say ? michael : ronan confirmed that carmine has been moved to puerto rico by the u.s . marshals . lauren : and that 's gon na continue even though womack is dead ? michael : womack 's associates are pretty loyal . word at the bureau is there 's still a contract out for carmine 's life , so if he 's dumb enough to leave witness protection , he 'll be hunted down and most likely killed . lauren : so , then ... it is over ... at least for now . we 're free to move on . michael : yeah . that 's my gal . lauren : yeah ? michael : we ca n't let carmine and his pathetic messages keep us from living our lives . lauren : amen . watch this . michael : [ chuckles ] lauren : now ... shall we ? lily : oh , my goodness . whose idea was it to give you sugar before lunch ? cane : uh , that would have been your idea . lily : hey , no imaginary pogo stick in the revolving door . thank you ! cane : all right . you know what just occurred to me ? lily : yes ? what ? cane : that we have not finished our anniversary celebration . lily : you 're right . we did n't . cane : and now we have to wait until they crash from the sugar high . lily : uh , i have a feeling that you 're gon na crash first , and , by the way , you 're due for your next dose of pain meds . cane : maybe i wo n't take it and i 'll just tough it out . lily : actually , i 'd rather wait until you 're healed so that we can really celebrate . cane : i like the sound of that . guess what i have planned for you for our celebration . it involves candles and champagne and flowers . lily : honey , all that sounds great , but all that i really need is you . jack : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . if you 're going where i think you are , do n't . you should n't be here . kelly : hi , jack . i - i just wanted to go and apologize to billy . jack : billy is talking with his wife right now . it may take some time . maybe you should go . stitch : hey . jack is right . you do n't belong here . i tried telling you that earlier . why do n't you leave before you make things worse ? kelly : who the hell do you think you are ? you 're the last person to tell me how not to make things worse . billy : vicki , please tell me you 'll stay . we 'll work things out . i will -- i will do anything . just please do n't leave me . victoria : i 'm not saying that it 's over . billy : baby , i promise you wo n't regret this . okay ?

brady : so kristen -- she -- she 's alive ? tony : no . i doubt that very much . brady : you just said that you had contact with her . tony : i did , but that was before the warehouse collapsed . it was when i was carrying nicole out of the building that i saw kristen in the distance . i called out to her . she just turned away and walked into the flames . i can not see how anyone could have survived that . not even a dimera . brady : hmm . then -- then -- then she 's gone . kristen as nicole : i 'm so sorry . you were holding out for hope , were n't you ? brady : no . no ! no , i was -- i was just -- i was curious , that 's all . tony : do you have any other questions ? kristen as nicole : no . you 've answered them all . but it 's not the only reason we 're here . we need your help , tony . tony : oh . and what help could i possibly give you now ? kristen as nicole : the dimera legacy is in trouble . we have to save the company from vivian alamain 's bastard son . abe : [ laughs ] that 's -- that 's crazy ! nicole would never go after theo . gabi : not the nicole we knew . but ever since she lost holly , she 's been more unpredictable . stefan : is it possible she could convince theo to help her ? abe : you know , even if this far out theory of yours were true -- which is is n't -- i do n't think nicole would ask me to marry her if the groom was my son . gabi : you got a point . abe : uh -- just so you know ... i spoke to theo a few days ago and to brandon yesterday . now , if something was going on between nicole and theo , brandon would know . stefan : all right , so if it 's not theo , then who is it ? chad 's ... married . ej 's with sami . the rest are dead . abe : well ... there is one more . brady : you kinda sprang that on him , did n't you ? tony : so ... vivian spawned with a dimera . so who was the lucky fellow ? brady : well , brace yourself . your father . tony : well , that must have taken an ocean of strega . so this union spawned a son . kristen as nicole : stefan . brady : stefan o. dimera . it 's cute , is n't it ? kristen as nicole : mm - hmm . he 's in charge of dimera enterprises now . tony : and how 's that working out ? kristen as nicole : he 's driving it into the ground . but fortunately , he 's facing prison time , and the board has decided to take away his power to do much of anything . this is the perfect opportunity for the right person to swoop in and take the reins , and that right person is ... me . i can save the company for you , tony . tony : but you 're not even a dimera . what do you care ? kristen as nicole : when my daughter died , i lost everything . and i 'm just trying to build a new life . brady : i asked her to come work for me at titan . she refused . kristen as nicole : and i 'd love nothing more than to be partners with you , but he could n't commit to what i had in mind . tony : and what was that ? kristen as nicole : it 's too complicated to explain , and that ship has sailed . so i decided to take control over dimera . but the only way i can do that is if i marry into the family . tony : i assume that ej is no longer an option . kristen as nicole : for many reasons . so it 's just you . i need you to marry me . so what do you say ? jardiance asks : eli : hey , chloe . is my grandma here ? chloe : hey , guys , uh , no , she 's not here today . lani : that 's too bad . we have some good news to share . chloe : oh ! we could all use some of that . lani : jack deveraux fired eve and eli is gon na be the new commissioner . chloe : that 's great ! i mean , i 'm one of the few people who actually likes eve , but even i knew that she was n't cut out for that job . lani : yeah , well , i think this guy is the perfect choice . chloe : uh , and what -- what is that ? is that an engagement ring ? ah ! you guys ! i 'm guessing the promotion was n't the only good news . eli : yeah , we got engaged on the fourth of july . chloe : oh , congratulations . eli : thank you . chloe : looks like salem 's having another wedding . ciara : thank you . you know , it is so nice that the dimeras have their own greenhouse . it is such a hassle to call the florist . ben : [ light laugh ] what are you doing ? ciara : i am making gabi a bouquet for the wedding . i bet you she never even thought about that . ben : maybe you should use fake flowers . i mean , it 's a fake wedding . ciara : i do n't think i buy that . ben : yeah ? ciara : yeah , i mean , did you catch the vibe between those two ? the way that gabi was sticking up for stefan , the way that they work so well together ? you know , i 'm starting to think that there might be something really real between those two . ben : well , this morning you said you could n't stand gabi . ciara : [ laughs ] i can't . that does n't mean that horrible people ca n't fall in love sometimes . ben : you are such a romantic . ciara : mm . ben : what ? ciara : i do know that . oh ... okay , what are you doing ? ben : if you do n't know , then i 'm not doing it right . ciara : no , you 're doing it fine . you 're doing it really , really , really well , but come on . we were just supposed to go on a little walk . we need to get back for the wedding , ben . ben : ohh ... rain check ? ciara : absolutely . [ both laughing ] abe : well ... there is your father . for all we know , he 's still out there somewhere . gabi : that 's pretty farfetched , do n't you think ? stefan : even if he were alive , he would take the power for himself , not help nicole get it . abe : that 's true . gabi : you 're thinking there 's somebody else ? abe : well , kristen has a brother peter , but ... he disappeared after he got out of prison , and i do n't think nicole would be able to track him down . gabi : really ? i would n't put anything past her . if there 's a dimera out there , she will find him . brady : maybe you should have gotten down on one knee before you popped the question . tony : [ chuckles ] you know ... i ca n't marry you . anna is the love of my life . kristen as nicole : [ mutters ] even if you do find her , huh , what do you have to offer her , hmm -- this dump ? do it for her . marry me long enough to make sure i 'm in charge of dimera and then you can reunite with anna a rich and powerful man , and i can give you back the legacy that was stolen from you . [ uneasy music ] tony : all right . i 'll do it . brady : okay . i guess i 'm gon na make a call to abe . kristen as nicole : no , no , no , no , no . actually , we do n't have time for that . the board is making decisions about dimera as we speak , and we have to get married now before we go back to salem . brady : okay . getting more romantic by the minute . um ... i guess i 'll go find who i have to pay off in order to get this thing done . kristen as nicole : brady , thank you . for everything . just what the hell are you trying to pull ?

[ intense music ] humira patients , you inspire us . ted : you two look pretty serious -- what 's up ? hope : will 's working on an article . he was asking me about rescuing you and kate . ted : well , be more than happy to speak on the record about that . i will say things like , `` without our former police commissioner , i 'd be dead . `` will : um , you know , i do have some questions for you . hope : maybe another time . i need to talk to ted . will : okay . um , well , then i will be in touch later with both of you . hope : great . ted : okay . hope : bye , will . will : bye . hope : good to see you , honey . ted : so ... hope : yeah . ted : he said he wants to interview you about an article . hope : well , he said he just wanted to get together . when i got here is when he told me about the article he was writing . ted : mm . and you 're sure that 's all he was keeping from you ? brady : so kristen -- she -- she 's alive ? tony : no . i doubt that very much . brady : you just said that you had contact with her . tony : i did , but that was before the warehouse collapsed . it was when i was carrying nicole out of the building that i saw kristen in the distance . i called out to her . she just turned away and walked into the flames . i can not see how anyone could have survived that . not even a dimera . brady : hmm . then -- then -- then she 's gone . kristen as nicole : i 'm so sorry . you were holding out for hope , were n't you ? brady : no . no ! no , i was -- i was just -- i was curious , that 's all . tony : do you have any other questions ? kristen as nicole : no . you 've answered them all . but it 's not the only reason we 're here . we need your help , tony . tony : oh . and what help could i possibly give you now ? kristen as nicole : the dimera legacy is in trouble . we have to save the company from vivian alamain 's bastard son . abe : [ laughs ] that 's -- that 's crazy ! nicole would never go after theo . gabi : not the nicole we knew . but ever since she lost holly , she 's been more unpredictable . stefan : is it possible she could convince theo to help her ? abe : you know , even if this far out theory of yours were true -- which is is n't -- i do n't think nicole would ask me to marry her if the groom was my son . gabi : you got a point . abe : uh -- just so you know ... i spoke to theo a few days ago and to brandon yesterday . now , if something was going on between nicole and theo , brandon would know . stefan : all right , so if it 's not theo , then who is it ? chad 's ... married . ej 's with sami . the rest are dead . abe : well ... there is one more . brady : you kinda sprang that on him , did n't you ? tony : so ... vivian spawned with a dimera . so who was the lucky fellow ? brady : well , brace yourself . your father . tony : well , that must have taken an ocean of strega . so this union spawned a son . kristen as nicole : stefan . brady : stefan o. dimera . it 's cute , is n't it ? kristen as nicole : mm - hmm . he 's in charge of dimera enterprises now . tony : and how 's that working out ? kristen as nicole : he 's driving it into the ground . but fortunately , he 's facing prison time , and the board has decided to take away his power to do much of anything . this is the perfect opportunity for the right person to swoop in and take the reins , and that right person is ... me . i can save the company for you , tony . tony : but you 're not even a dimera . what do you care ? kristen as nicole : when my daughter died , i lost everything . and i 'm just trying to build a new life . brady : i asked her to come work for me at titan . she refused . kristen as nicole : and i 'd love nothing more than to be partners with you , but he could n't commit to what i had in mind . tony : and what was that ? kristen as nicole : it 's too complicated to explain , and that ship has sailed . so i decided to take control over dimera . but the only way i can do that is if i marry into the family . tony : i assume that ej is no longer an option . kristen as nicole : for many reasons . so it 's just you . i need you to marry me . so what do you say ? jardiance asks : eli : hey , chloe . is my grandma here ? chloe : hey , guys , uh , no , she 's not here today . lani : that 's too bad . we have some good news to share . chloe : oh ! we could all use some of that . lani : jack deveraux fired eve and eli is gon na be the new commissioner . chloe : that 's great ! i mean , i 'm one of the few people who actually likes eve , but even i knew that she was n't cut out for that job . lani : yeah , well , i think this guy is the perfect choice . chloe : uh , and what -- what is that ? is that an engagement ring ? ah ! you guys ! i 'm guessing the promotion was n't the only good news . eli : yeah , we got engaged on the fourth of july . chloe : oh , congratulations . eli : thank you . chloe : looks like salem 's having another wedding . ciara : thank you . you know , it is so nice that the dimeras have their own greenhouse . it is such a hassle to call the florist . ben : [ light laugh ] what are you doing ? ciara : i am making gabi a bouquet for the wedding . i bet you she never even thought about that . ben : maybe you should use fake flowers . i mean , it 's a fake wedding . ciara : i do n't think i buy that . ben : yeah ? ciara : yeah , i mean , did you catch the vibe between those two ? the way that gabi was sticking up for stefan , the way that they work so well together ? you know , i 'm starting to think that there might be something really real between those two . ben : well , this morning you said you could n't stand gabi . ciara : [ laughs ] i can't . that does n't mean that horrible people ca n't fall in love sometimes . ben : you are such a romantic . ciara : mm . ben : what ? ciara : i do know that . oh ... okay , what are you doing ? ben : if you do n't know , then i 'm not doing it right . ciara : no , you 're doing it fine . you 're doing it really , really , really well , but come on . we were just supposed to go on a little walk . we need to get back for the wedding , ben . ben : ohh ... rain check ? ciara : absolutely . [ both laughing ] abe : well ... there is your father . for all we know , he 's still out there somewhere . gabi : that 's pretty farfetched , do n't you think ? stefan : even if he were alive , he would take the power for himself , not help nicole get it . abe : that 's true . gabi : you 're thinking there 's somebody else ? abe : well , kristen has a brother peter , but ... he disappeared after he got out of prison , and i do n't think nicole would be able to track him down . gabi : really ? i would n't put anything past her . if there 's a dimera out there , she will find him . brady : maybe you should have gotten down on one knee before you popped the question . tony : [ chuckles ] you know ... i ca n't marry you . anna is the love of my life . kristen as nicole : [ mutters ] even if you do find her , huh , what do you have to offer her , hmm -- this dump ? do it for her . marry me long enough to make sure i 'm in charge of dimera and then you can reunite with anna a rich and powerful man , and i can give you back the legacy that was stolen from you . [ uneasy music ] tony : all right . i 'll do it . brady : okay . i guess i 'm gon na make a call to abe . kristen as nicole : no , no , no , no , no . actually , we do n't have time for that . the board is making decisions about dimera as we speak , and we have to get married now before we go back to salem . brady : okay . getting more romantic by the minute . um ... i guess i 'll go find who i have to pay off in order to get this thing done . kristen as nicole : brady , thank you . for everything . just what the hell are you trying to pull ?

ashley : that 's funny . and just so you know , this decision my brother made was strictly business . it was n't personal . victor : oh . i 'm so glad that you 're standing up for poor jack . although you damn well know he is wrong . ashley : mm . victor : nice chatting with you . ashley : mm - hmm . you too . next time , i 'll take the stairs . nick : seems like everybody had a good time . : yeah . hey , listen , i will be happy to clean up here if you need to go . nick : eh . phyllis : i know that dad of the year has got daughter number two 's event to attend . nick : there 's plenty of time to get to faith 's play . phyllis : really ? nick : yeah . i mean , i got to clean up and stuff . phyllis : or maybe there are so many ex - wives you can deal with in a day ? nick : let 's just say some are easier to be around than others . sharon : oh , dylan , can you help me finish wrapping these ? dylan : uh , i 'm sorry . you 're gon na have to go alone . sharon : you 're going to work ? dylan : yeah , paul just called . he 's assigning me to a new case . sharon : but you 're gon na miss faith 's play . dylan : i know . i 'm gon na try not to , but if i do , i 'm gon na make it up to her . i do n't want to go in right now , but this is kind of my job . sharon : okay . call me later . dylan : [ sighs ] i can help you finish . sharon : so , this new case you 're on , is it murder , robbery ... ? dylan : uh , well , the only detail i could get out of paul is that it 's gon na be really busy . it 's undercover work . sharon : sounds kind of dangerous . dylan : more like tedious . you know , a lot of sitting around in the middle of the night , observing bad guys . sharon : okay . so why ca n't paul just dump it on somebody else ? i mean , just for one night . i was looking forward to going to the play with you , and faith is gon na be ... i 'm sorry . i know i 'm not being a very good detective 's wife . i know this is the job . dylan : i know . you know , i feel bad about missing faith do her thing , but ... what 's really bad is that i 'm gon na be gone a lot of nights for the next few weeks . sharon : christmas ? new year 's ? dylan : i 'm not sure . i mean , maybe mariah could spend more time here . sharon : well , she 's putting in more hours at the gc buzz , not less . dylan : you know , i was thinking , maybe you could talk to nick tonight . talk to him about getting more time with faith during her holiday . sharon : mm . i do n't know . dylan : i mean , faith can be here when i 'm not here , and the house wo n't seem so empty . sharon : i think i should ask nick if i can have faith for christmas day . dylan : i think maybe you should ask for her whole time off of school . it seems reasonable to me . paul : i understand that . we need that warrant . make it happen . okay . nikki : hey . paul : nikki , hi . nikki : hi . paul : can i help you ? nikki : i was just poking my head in to see if dylan was around . paul : oh . well , he 's not now , but he will be soon . do you need something specific ? nikki : well , just basic contact would be a good beginning . i 'm starting to feel that our son is avoiding me . sharon : it looks like nick and i have the christmas break pretty much divided down the middle . dylan : what 's -- what 's wrong with being flexible , you know ? he 's got christian full - time , he 's running his bar full - time . how much time does he actually have to spend with faith while she 's off from school ? sharon : mm , not much , probably . dylan : well , it 's the holidays . obviously , she 's gon na see nick . she 's gon na hang with her baby brother . but what she really wants to do is ... sharon : is ride her pony and have playdates with her friends . dylan : no , she wants to hang with her mom . and you never know . you might be doing nick a favor . sharon : i do n't think he 'll see it that way . dylan : yeah , well , this is an important time for faith . you know ? all the upheaval about christian , it 's been really tough on her , and i just -- look , i think she needs her mom . i think the less stress for her , the better . sharon : well , she 's been doing really good lately . she has n't been angry . she 's actually been spending a lot more time over here . she chooses to . dylan : yeah , i know . for a reason . a few solid days of you two hanging out together could cement that . sharon : well , i 'm really touched that you put so much thought into faith 's feelings . dylan : i love faith , and i love you . and i just think there 's way too much upside not to try . so , you 'll talk to nick ? sharon : definitely . dylan : great . i 'm gon na head in to the station . sharon : okay . be careful , detective . dylan : mm . yes , ma'am . and if i do miss her play , just tell her to `` break a leg `` for me , okay ? sharon : okay . jack : who you calling now ? jill : i am trying to decide which lawyer would most enjoy suing you on my behalf . it is a plumb assignment , you know . jack : i like you , jill . jill : you are so full of it , jack ! jack : i like you so much , here 's what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na save you the mega bucks per hour in legal fees you 're about to shell out by telling you what any good lawyer would tell you -- your case is a loser . jill : you are so deluded . my lease is ironclad . jack : do you honestly think i do n't know what goes into every single lease and contract that i sign ? be grateful that i gave your company till new year 's eve to clear out . jill : oh , i know . and you even offered to move us . you 're so considerate . jack : what can i say ? ' tis the season . jill : i 've said it before , i 'll say it again -- thank god there 's only one of you . jack : you know , it 's funny . i wake up most mornings and think the same thing myself . jill : so , where 'd you go ? jack : well , let 's see . you name it , i went there . you know , i actually did think of you in the riviera . you know , they have all those topless bathing suits there . jill : you thought of me ? jack : i could n't help thinking how intimidated you 'd be . jill : how reassuring to know that you have n't lost your talent for ingratiating yourself . jack : well , you know me , jill -- always trying to think of something nice to say . though , i must admit , in your case , it is a little challenging . jill : you know what , ashley ? i would 've expected nothing better from him , because he is a man in perpetual need of proving himself . but i really expected you to have better sense . ashley : well , good evening to you , too , jill . jill : i will see you in court , and do n't you dare worry about my legal fees . honestly , burying you is gon na be worth every penny . ashley : so , how far do you intend on taking this ? jack : oh , why stop now when i 'm having this much fun ? victoria : well , i guess i 'm gon na have to write jill a check for all this wasted inventory . billy : on the contrary , this is an investment into your mental health . and if you ask me , i think you stopped too soon . victoria : nope , i 'm good . billy : liar . come on . there 's more stomping on that last nerve than jack kicking us out of here or cane and me getting in a fight . so come on -- let it out . victoria : billy , i really do n't need to let anything out . billy : you know what ? victoria : what are you doing ? [ glass shatters ] victoria : ah . billy : we 'll call that one travis , okay ? and here . go ahead . you can call that one billy . i will not be offended . go on . i know you want to . victoria : this is silly . billy : no , it 's not . it 's actually cheaper than therapy and probably a write- off , so let 's see it . [ glass shatters ] billy : oh - ho - ho ! yeah ! victoria : you 're right . that felt really good ! billy : yeah . see ? now , what about here ? victoria : no , no , no . billy : yes , come on . you ca n't stop festering all this kind of thing . you got to let it out . so have at it . there 's family issues , right ? there 's johnny 's preschool teacher , that condescending ... victoria : i ca n't stand that guy . i 'm gon na need two for that guy . [ glass shatters ] billy : there you go . perfect . and dare i say , daddy issues ? victoria : okay . a little one for him . billy : okay . [ glass shatters ] billy : yes ! victoria : and virgil in shipping . billy : virgil . victoria : and nancy in distribution . and the guy that cut me off on the 173 . billy : hate the 173 ! [ glass shattering ] victoria : no , we should n't . billy : oh , yes , we should . come on . we have come too far to turn back now . come on . we owe it to ourselves . it is a fantastic idea . victoria : no . billy : you got it ? victoria : put it back . billy : nope . victoria : no . billy : no . victor : well , that 's a very interesting ... [ glass shatters ] victor : ... approach to r & d . jill : what the hell is going on here ? billy : i convinced victoria to lay down a carpet of glass . that way , when somebody comes here that we do n't want here , you can hear them . jill : oh , stop it ! would you please behave like an adult for two seconds ? billy : i would love to , but it 's kind of impossible with him here . by the way , what are you doing here ? victor : offering my beautiful daughter refuge . victoria : oh , thanks , dad . that 's so nice of you . victor : darling , why do n't you move brash & sassy to newman tower ? you know , i think it 's best for everyone concerned . and to hell with jabot . who needs them ? both : that 's not happening . victor : what , are you disagreeing in tandem now ? i mean , this is like a stereo . billy : yes , and no , thank you , but we do n't need newman space , because we 're not leaving here , because we all know why jack is pulling this stunt , and i 'm not gon na let him get away with it . jill : yes , and i just came from seeing jack , and i 'm in complete agreement with billy . victor : well , i have a simpler solution . billy : oh , really ? i would love to hear that . please , tell me -- what am i missing , victor ? victor : since you seem to be the cause for jack wanting to evict brash & sassy , why do n't you just move along , get the hell out of here ? that way , i 'm sure jack will offer brash & sassy a lifetime lease if you are out of the picture . nick : you know , you do n't have to do that . noah can handle the rest . unless , of course , you do n't want to leave . phyllis : you know what ? if i leave ... i got to go back to jabot ... and see jack . and wonder if he 's gon na compliment me on my hair color ... if our hands gon na touch when i give him that report or that memo or fax that i make up an excuse just to see him with . i 'm gon na wonder if he will ever love me again . nick : phyllis ... phyllis : look , while i am still stalling , i would like you to give this to faith after she takes her bow tonight . it 's the only undamaged piece of cake left . nick : hey , for the record , i did n't know christian was gon na tackle the cake . phyllis : oh - ho ! yeah , blame the toddler . yeah , classy . nick : it 's not blame . it 's pride . i mean , he went after that cake with true newman gusto . phyllis : no , you 're raising him right . nick : and it is chocolate , which happens to be my favorite . phyllis : he 's definitely your son . nick : i just ca n't wait to learn every single thing about him . phyllis : you know , look . i know that you are still angry at sharon , and i do not blame you , but you got to admit , she and dylan did very good during the time they had with him . nick : what ? i 'm sorry . did -- did you just say something nice about sharon ? phyllis : well , i really do n't want to , but i am looking at the bright side of things for you . nick : well , the bright side is that my son is alive , and he is with me . phyllis : no , you 're right . i am very happy . christian is exactly where he belongs . nick : thanks , phyllis . phyllis : hold on . um ... can you turn your head a little ? just -- yeah . cake . are you saving this for later ? paul : sorry , nikki . i 've got a new case kicking into gear , and i 'm juggling a lot of the details . nikki : oh , no , i understand . i 'm just a little anxious about dylan . maybe i 'm being oversensitive , but after a few unanswered calls and texts -- i do n't know -- one starts to feel that they 're being avoided . is he avoiding me ? paul : well , nikki , i ca n't speak for him . nikki : okay , then . forget i asked . paul : well , i can tell you that ... dylan is missing the child he raised for over a year , and it just so happens that christian is living with your other son now . nikki : well , if he thinks that i 'm taking sides , i 'm not . paul : well , i do n't think you are , nikki , but i can tell you , from my perspective , how much it hurt to lose a grandson . so i ca n't tell you -- i ca n't imagine -- what he must be going through . nikki : i want to be there for him . i want to comfort him . he wo n't let me . paul : like you were there for nick ? nikki : look , i am trying to do good by both my sons in this horrible situation . no matter what i do , somebody gets hurt . i - i have to go to faith 's school . i do n't want to be late for her performance . but if you should see dylan , can you please tell him i was here ? paul : i can do that . [ door opens ] paul : you just missed your mother . dylan : yeah , i know . i was waiting for her to leave . paul : she thinks that you 're avoiding her . dylan : [ sighs ] paul : you know , dylan , i -- i thought you did n't want to talk to nikki about christian because it hurt too much . but now i 'm getting the feeling it 's much deeper than that . dylan : yeah , it is deep , paul . nikki made her choice , and her choice was nick . sharon : hi . you seen faith yet ? nick : no , i just got here before you did . sharon : okay . uh , well , as long as we have a moment alone , there 's something i wanted to run by you . nick : are you kidding me right now ? sharon : what ? nick : how many times do we have to do this ? i thought you and dylan were not gon na ask me anymore about spending time with christian ? sharon : this is n't about christian . faith : i need you -- both of you ! help ! jill : we do n't need your help with office space , so ... victor : do n't be so hasty , all right ? i gave you damn good advice . if you want to get rid of the problem , get rid of billy boy . i do n't know what the issue is . jill : no , you would n't . thank you very much , but i really do n't need your advice in running my company , and any suggestions you have about whether billy should stay or leave -- not needed . victor : you know , sometimes i ca n't help it . advice just slips past my lips before i can edit it . jill : oh , my god . you know how to edit yourself ? that 's news . victor : is n't that something ? jill : mm . victor : so you do n't need my advice ? jill : no , i do n't want your advice . in fact , when i have a problem , do you know what i do ? victor : what do you do ? jill : i ask myself what katherine would do , and then i have my solution . victor : i 'll be damned . you know what katherine would want ? is for you to make sure that her legacy stays intact and that chancellor industries stays on top . that 's what she would want . jill : what she would want is family loyalty . that 's what you do n't understand , and that 's why billy is staying . victor : and you understand family loyalty ? wow . i 'll be damned . jill : so , if you 'll excuse me , i have a strategy to execute . victor : well , if you 'll excuse me , i have my granddaughter 's play to go to . how 's that ? bye - bye . jill : have a good time . victor : same to you . jill : playtime is over . jack : what is this ? an early christmas present ? ashley : brash & sassy 's lease . do you want to go over it with me , and i can show you just how out of line you are ? look , i do n't want them in the building any more than you do , jack , and i 'm not a lawyer , but it 's pretty cut - and - dry -- you can not legally evict them . jack : i guess it 's a good thing for all of us you sidestepped that legal career . you 'd be awful at this . ashley : the contract is binding . jack : contracts are made to be broken . everyone knows that . ashley : i do n't know that . that 's why we sign our names to them . we 're promising to uphold the terms that we 've agreed upon . jack : in some ideal dream world . i function in the real world , where real business gets done , and where our lawyers are two floors down right now finding any loophole they can for me . ashley : they 're finding any loophole ? jack : i know what i 'm doing , ash ! ashley : you know ... let 's just put all this aside , okay ? is this really necessary , all this drama ? is that the best way to use our time , jack ? i mean , jabotgo is doing so great , we 're scaling up to meet demand , ravi is working his buns off -- christmas is upon us ! jack : and now is the time to assure that the success we 're about to enjoy is secure . you created jabotgo . it 's your baby . look what it 's done to jabot 's bottom line . think what you could create if you had your lab back . you miss it , do n't you ? ashley : that 's beside the point . jack : there is nothing arbitrary about the timing of kicking brash & sassy out to the curb . it is necessary . what does n't make any sense is putting out all this blood , sweat , and tears to put jabot on top while our competitor resides a few floors down , trying to undercut us . ashley : you can say his name . it 's billy . jack : billy ... you 're right . i do n't trust him . i 've been given good reason not to . would n't you agree ? phyllis : am i interrupting ? phyllis : here 's that marketing report i promised you . ashley : you could n't e - mail it ? phyllis : i did that , too , but i thought maybe you 'd want to take a look at the hard copy before it 's distributed . jack : i 'll take a look when i have a chance . phyllis : terrific . ashley : changed your hair , huh ? phyllis : yeah , it was time for a change . ashley : i guess we heard the last of that nickname of yours . i 'm not gon na miss it . are you ? phyllis : goodbye . ashley : oh , my god . she 's so obvious . she changes her hair , she has to drop off reports in person -- it 's all ploys to stay in your head . jack : that 's why i did n't comment on it . i wish you had n't , either . i have moved on . and if i do n't engage with phyllis , she 'll do the same thing . ashley : so , on a brighter note , about that lease -- jack : could we argue about this over dinner ? i 'm starving . ashley : fine . sharon : look , you know nikki 's not my favorite person in the world at all , but she does love you , and that 's very real . dylan : but , look , i 'm not one of her kids , really . you know what i 'm saying . i did n't grow up with her . i know she cares about me , but when push comes to shove , she 's a newman , and i 'm not . and that makes all the difference . [ breathes deeply ] paul : excuse me . dylan : what -- what are you doing ? i thought you wanted me to go over this case . paul : do you think you can come in here and drop a bomb like that about your mother , get busy with work , and pretend like you never said anything ? dylan : i 'm not pretending . i 'm just doing my job . paul : dylan , you 've got a personal life , too . it does n't go away when you walk in the office . dylan : i just -- i do n't know what you want from me right now . paul : in my office . close the door . so , you think that nikki is choosing nick over you . dylan : okay , nikki is focusing on her family , and i 'm gon na follow her lead , and i 'm gon na focus on my family , whatever that takes . paul : you are nikki 's family . dylan : can we not go over this again , all right ? not right now . paul : all right . consider the subject dropped . dylan : thank you . paul : you have it in your head to focus on your family ? case can wait . dylan : come on , paul . honestly , i could -- i could use the distraction right now . paul : you already have one . from what i understand , faith has a performance tonight . dylan : yeah . yeah , she does . but i thought that we were gon na go over this case . paul : i do n't want you using this job as a way of hiding from your personal issues , especially when it causes you to miss events like this . dylan , kids grow up fast -- faster than you think . this case can wait . do i have to make it a direct order ? dylan : no , that 's not necessary . thank you . nick : here we go . faith : is it almost done ? the show 's about to start . sharon : almost . nick : safety pin ... faith : hurry ! sharon : okay ... done . faith : you saved my life . you are the best mom and dad ever . nick : oh . faith : oh , grandpa 's here ! sharon : okay . why do n't you go say hi ? your dad and i have to talk . nick : actually , i 'll go with you , faith . come on . faith : hi , grandpa ! victor : how you doing ? nikki : where is dylan ? is he coming ? sharon : what do you care , nikki ? nicholas is here , otherwise known as the son who counts . nikki : that 's not true , and you know it . i did everything i could to keep christian in dylan 's life . nikki : as long as i was not involved . i know , nikki . you 're more transparent than cellophane . nikki : oh , and you 're about as deep as a cookie sheet . how both of my brilliant sons got mixed up with the likes of you i do n't know . victor : i have a feeling that i 'm gon na see the best performance i 've ever seen . faith : maybe not . victor : why ? faith : what if i forget everything ? nick : what are you talking about ? you have spent so much time memorizing and rehearsing . you 're gon na be amazing . faith : but i 'm so nervous . victor : but , sweetheart , i have spoken with thousands of people -- i still do . everyone gets nervous . that 's normal . it 's okay . faith : but how do you make the nervous feeling go away ? victor : hmm . victor : well , i have a secret . do you want to know what it is ? faith : a secret ? yeah ! victor : come here . what you do is this . you look at the crowd , and you pick just one person . you do n't think about anyone else , do n't look at anyone else , just that one person , and you try to look at them and convince them of your performance . okay ? faith : just one person ? victor : yeah , one person . faith : who do i pick ? victor : well , you 'll figure it out . okay ? faith : thanks for giving me your secret , grandpa . victor : you 're welcome , my sweetheart . good luck . wow . faith : it 's time . the show 's about to start ! eee ! jack : next time you suggest a new restaurant , pick one with better service . ashley : stop complaining . the food was decent . got some work done . jack : yeah , once you agreed that i was right to terminate brash & sassy 's lease ... ashley : i did n't agree to anything like that at all . i just said i 'd put it aside so we can get some other things done . jack : damn . i thought i got that one by you . ashley : what , you think i like harping on you all the time ? i 'm trying to keep you from making a huge mistake . jack : if it 's a mistake , it 's my mistake to make . i 'm getting sick of you questioning everything i do . if they sue us , they sue us . that 's why i have a team of lawyers two floors down . i 've got this , ash . can we please drop it ? ashley : no , we ca n't . jill : and the lipsticks ? billy : i have the numbers here . victoria : mattes are outselling shimmers , as expected . i just shot you the latest stats . jill : and the european market ? billy : i think we 're -- victoria : they 're leading with the darker shades . the data 's on page 5 . jill : good . well , i 'm glad to see that our numbers are steady , because our attention will be elsewhere occupied for quite a while . stopping this ludicrous eviction by jack will be our number - one job . so , i hope both of you will bear that in mind the next time you get the urge to destroy expensive office equipment . victoria : okay , look , i do n't need a lecture on what 's important . jill : oh , you do n't ? billy : no . no , we 're very clear about what we have to do about jack . victoria : jack is trying to toss us out at a critical time because he wants to hurt the company . jill : well , i 'm glad to see that you both know what the stakes are here , okay ? so get together with cane and find out how to beat jabot at their own game , because i am done playing around . faith : dylan ! dylan : hey ! faith : hey ! you came ! dylan : yeah , i ran in just as the curtain came up . i had to stay in back , but i loved every minute of it , and you were awesome . faith : thanks . dylan : congratulations . faith : are those for me ? dylan : yeah . faith : oh , i love flowers . i was thinking maybe i 'd want to be an astronaut when i grow up , but now i like show business a lot more . sharon : honey , you were so great ! faith : thanks ! sharon : wow ! i thought you could n't come . dylan : it was too important to miss . faith : it was almost awful , but mom and dad saved me 'cause they fixed my costume . otherwise , i would 've been a total wreck . sharon : faith , do n't sell yourself short . your performance tonight was a great success because you put in all the sweat and the hard work and the dedication it took to make it that way . you have a lot to be proud of . this is your night , faith . faith : you 're the best . oh ! i have to tell grandpa something . i 'll be right back . sharon : okay . dylan : bet that hug felt good , huh ? sharon : you have no idea . faith : well , thanks for coming . nikki : thank you for such a wonderful evening . victor : you were wonderful . okay ? faith : because i used your secret . victor : oh , you did ? what 'd you do ? who 'd you pick ? faith : it was you . victor : oh ! i love that . i love that . i love that . nick : hey , uh , sorry , earlier , jumping the gun , thinking you wanted to talk about christian . dylan : you asked ? nick : asked what ? sharon : well , we were talking about faith 's schedule for winter break , and we thought , since you 're gon na have your hands full with christian and the underground , it might just be better for everyone if , uh , we changed it up a little and faith spent the majority of those nights at our house . nick : absolutely not . billy : do n't worry about my mom . she lays it on thick sometimes . it 's just part of her charm . victoria : oh , shut up , will you , billy ? billy : what 'd i -- what 'd i do now ? victoria : no , it 's not -- it 's what we did , okay ? i never should 've gone along with your suggestion to break beakers and test tubes . what did it get me , huh ? did it get me some deeper epiphany or some greater understanding of myself ? hardly . i looked like a total goofball . billy : and what 's wrong with that ? victoria : because it was humiliating , and not just in front of jill , in front of my father , of all people . billy : you do n't care what he thinks , victoria . victoria : i have worked too hard creating something special with this company to let people think that i take it like a joke . i 'm a professional . i have credibility , or at least , i -- i had credibility . until you started in with your childish antics . billy : okay . well , i apologize . it 's no excuse . i 'm just trying to make you laugh a little bit . victoria : there is no excuse . my work is very important to me . and i created this company from scratch , and i am gon na do everything to make damn sure that it stays on track . jerk . ashley : you know , jack , i 've been excited about working with you again . we 're doing great things . actually , amazing things . and i know sometimes in business , of course , obviously , you have to be tough . you 're morphing into somebody i do n't like very much . i understand , what happened with billy and phyllis -- i mean , it changed you and not for the better . jack : i 'm not going to be a doormat anymore . what they say about nice guys is true . i am not going to finish last again . ashley : so that 's how you see it ? that 's how you 're gon na justify your callous and , frankly , extremely ugly behavior ? jack : i will say this once again . the choices i am making are for the good of this company . ashley : you know what i see ? what i know ? this bitterness is gon na eat you up if you let it , jack . you 're better than that . i do n't want that for you . nick : i think it 's astonishing that you do n't think it 's insensitive at all that you 're asking me to not spend christmas or new year 's with faith . it 's her entire vacation . sharon : it 's not her entire vacation . dylan : it 's a legitimate request . families do it all the time . nick : well , not this family and not this time . dylan : but it could be better for faith . nick : what , for me to ignore my daughter over christmas ? sharon : that 's not what we 're saying . would n't you like some time alone with christian where you do n't have to also take care of a 9-year - old ? just be in that baby bubble for your first christmas with your son ? nick : i love how you two are selling this , like it 's some benefit to me . but you would be the ones who would get faith for two weeks straight . dylan : that 's not even close . you 're gon na have christmas at your dad 's . you 're gon na see her then , you 're gon na see her each and every day at the ranch . all we 're really talking about is having her sleep at our place . nick : you know , dylan , i do n't even want to talk about this with you , all right ? this is between me and sharon . the custody agreement is in place . sharon : and we 're not suggesting that we should change the entire -- nick : i really wanted to spend christmas with my son and my daughter . do i have to remind you that i lost my wife ? i 'll be without her over the holidays ? dylan : we know you suffered a loss , okay ? we suffered a loss , too . nick : did you just go there ? do you expect me to feel sorry for you ? you stole my son from me . i 'm not agreeing to this . you 're just gon na have to live with the agreement that we already made . faith : stop ! why are you guys always fighting ? you 're always ruining everything . i hate it ! i want a divorce ! [ next_on ] christine : you are throwing your son into harm 's way . can you really live with that ? sharon : i do n't want to fight with you about this ! nick : i do n't want to fight , either ! dylan : faith 's not up there . nick : where is she ? victor : my granddaughter faith is missing . i want you to search the grounds immediately , all right ?

since jill intends to sue jack over the abrupt termination of the brash and sassy lease , he is ready for a fight . victoria is ready to do anything she has to do to make sure that brash and sassy stays on track . dylan tells sharon that he is going undercover on a case and will be away at night , so he tells her to ask nick if faith could stay with her at night so she wo n't feel lonely . nikki tells paul she feels like dylan is avoiding her . dylan tells paul that he is avoiding nikki , because he feels like victoria and nick will always be more important to nikki and he does n't have a place in her life . the newman family gathers to watch faith in her play . afterwards , dylan asks if faith can spend the night with sharon . nick refuses ; and when faith overhears them fighting , she shouts that she is sick of all their fighting and wants a divorce .

<s>[INST] ashley : oh ! hold the door , please ! i do n't have a free hand ! oh ! thank you . jill : of all the arrogant , pigheaded , underhanded moves , not to mention criminal -- jack : jill , do n't be so hard on yourself . jill : you breaking brash & sassy 's lease on what can only be considered a whim is not only unconscionable , it is illegal . jack : i understand your being angry . jill : do n't you condescend to me . jack : i 'm agreeing with you . my seemingly unwarranted attack on your company blindsided you , and it was n't fair . jill : exactly . all right . since you 've seemingly come to your senses and admitted you were wrong , might i assume that you 're gon na honor our lease ? jack : do n't be ridiculous . victoria : i should be doing that . billy : i 'm almost done . victoria : [ sighs ] where did cane go ? billy : i do n't know . he took off . i guess he 's in full panic mode , which is very unbecoming . oddly , i 'm the only one keeping their cool here . victoria : i should never have allowed myself to lose control like that . billy : look , vic , relax . it 's not that big of a deal . victoria : i should 've never thrown a tantrum like that at work . i mean , who does that ? billy : me , for one . i do . and this -- this is nothing . victoria : `` nothing `` ? billy : nothing . come on . you 're frustrated , you 're angry . it 's pent up , and you needed to release it . victoria : i took it out on a bunch of a beakers and test tubes . billy : yes , you did , and there 's more where that came from . and what 's important here is that you let it out , right ? that 's a good thing . and i 'm sure it felt amazing . come on . tell me it felt good . open your mouth , move your lips . `` it felt good . `` victoria : no , actually . you 're wrong . it did n't feel good . it felt great . billy : [ gasps ] yes . victor : uh , would you kindly press the button for brash & sassy ? i 'm so used to going straight up to the top , i nearly forgot . ashley : oh , that 's a good one . you know , under the circumstances , why do n't you press the button for me ? victor : oh , my goodness . i forgot to be a gentleman . of course i shall do that . here we go . so , how long did it take your brother to evict my daughter from his building without forewarning ? ashley : you know , look at it this way . now you can offer them space in your building and show up my brother in the process . how fun . victor : too easy to show up your brother . but you know what he did is not only unacceptable but possibly illegal . hello . ashley : could you please remember where we are , victor ? victor : i beg your pardon ? ashley : remember where we are . victor : oh , i know where we are . it 's no secret , all right ? unlike your brother , i know how to separate the personal from business . ashley : [ laughs ] victor : [ chuckles ] that funny ? ashley : that 's funny . and just so you know , this decision my brother made was strictly business . it was n't personal . victor : oh . i 'm so glad that you 're standing up for poor jack . although you damn well know he is wrong . ashley : mm . victor : nice chatting with you . ashley : mm - hmm . you too . next time , i 'll take the stairs . nick : seems like everybody had a good time . : yeah . hey , listen , i will be happy to clean up here if you need to go . nick : eh . phyllis : i know that dad of the year has got daughter number two 's event to attend . nick : there 's plenty of time to get to faith 's play . phyllis : really ? nick : yeah . i mean , i got to clean up and stuff . phyllis : or maybe there are so many ex - wives you can deal with in a day ? nick : let 's just say some are easier to be around than others . sharon : oh , dylan , can you help me finish wrapping these ? dylan : uh , i 'm sorry . you 're gon na have to go alone . sharon : you 're going to work ? dylan : yeah , paul just called . he 's assigning me to a new case . sharon : but you 're gon na miss faith 's play . dylan : i know . i 'm gon na try not to , but if i do , i 'm gon na make it up to her . i do n't want to go in right now , but this is kind of my job . sharon : okay . call me later . dylan : [ sighs ] i can help you finish . sharon : so , this new case you 're on , is it murder , robbery ... ? dylan : uh , well , the only detail i could get out of paul is that it 's gon na be really busy . it 's undercover work . sharon : sounds kind of dangerous . dylan : more like tedious . you know , a lot of sitting around in the middle of the night , observing bad guys . sharon : okay . so why ca n't paul just dump it on somebody else ? i mean , just for one night . i was looking forward to going to the play with you , and faith is gon na be ... i 'm sorry . i know i 'm not being a very good detective 's wife . i know this is the job . dylan : i know . you know , i feel bad about missing faith do her thing , but ... what 's really bad is that i 'm gon na be gone a lot of nights for the next few weeks . sharon : christmas ? new year 's ? dylan : i 'm not sure . i mean , maybe mariah could spend more time here . sharon : well , she 's putting in more hours at the gc buzz , not less . dylan : you know , i was thinking , maybe you could talk to nick tonight . talk to him about getting more time with faith during her holiday . sharon : mm . i do n't know . dylan : i mean , faith can be here when i 'm not here , and the house wo n't seem so empty . sharon : i think i should ask nick if i can have faith for christmas day . dylan : i think maybe you should ask for her whole time off of school . it seems reasonable to me . paul : i understand that . we need that warrant . make it happen . okay . nikki : hey . paul : nikki , hi . nikki : hi . paul : can i help you ? nikki : i was just poking my head in to see if dylan was around . paul : oh . well , he 's not now , but he will be soon . do you need something specific ? nikki : well , just basic contact would be a good beginning . i 'm starting to feel that our son is avoiding me . sharon : it looks like nick and i have the christmas break pretty much divided down the middle . dylan : what 's -- what 's wrong with being flexible , you know ? he 's got christian full - time , he 's running his bar full - time . how much time does he actually have to spend with faith while she 's off from school ? sharon : mm , not much , probably . dylan : well , it 's the holidays . obviously , she 's gon na see nick . she 's gon na hang with her baby brother . but what she really wants to do is ... sharon : is ride her pony and have playdates with her friends . dylan : no , she wants to hang with her mom . and you never know . you might be doing nick a favor . sharon : i do n't think he 'll see it that way . dylan : yeah , well , this is an important time for faith . you know ? all the upheaval about christian , it 's been really tough on her , and i just -- look , i think she needs her mom . i think the less stress for her , the better . sharon : well , she 's been doing really good lately . she has n't been angry . she 's actually been spending a lot more time over here . she chooses to . dylan : yeah , i know . for a reason . a few solid days of you two hanging out together could cement that . sharon : well , i 'm really touched that you put so much thought into faith 's feelings . dylan : i love faith , and i love you . and i just think there 's way too much upside not to try . so , you 'll talk to nick ? sharon : definitely . dylan : great . i 'm gon na head in to the station . sharon : okay . be careful , detective . dylan : mm . yes , ma'am . and if i do miss her play , just tell her to `` break a leg `` for me , okay ? sharon : okay . jack : who you calling now ? jill : i am trying to decide which lawyer would most enjoy suing you on my behalf . it is a plumb assignment , you know . jack : i like you , jill . jill : you are so full of it , jack ! jack : i like you so much , here 's what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na save you the mega bucks per hour in legal fees you 're about to shell out by telling you what any good lawyer would tell you -- your case is a loser . jill : you are so deluded . my lease is ironclad . jack : do you honestly think i do n't know what goes into every single lease and contract that i sign ? be grateful that i gave your company till new year 's eve to clear out . jill : oh , i know . and you even offered to move us . you 're so considerate . jack : what can i say ? ' tis the season . jill : i 've said it before , i 'll say it again -- thank god there 's only one of you . jack : you know , it 's funny . i wake up most mornings and think the same thing myself . jill : so , where 'd you go ? jack : well , let 's see . you name it , i went there . you know , i actually did think of you in the riviera . you know , they have all those topless bathing suits there . jill : you thought of me ? jack : i could n't help thinking how intimidated you 'd be . jill : how reassuring to know that you have n't lost your talent for ingratiating yourself . jack : well , you know me , jill -- always trying to think of something nice to say . though , i must admit , in your case , it is a little challenging . jill : you know what , ashley ? i would 've expected nothing better from him , because he is a man in perpetual need of proving himself . but i really expected you to have better sense . ashley : well , good evening to you , too , jill . jill : i will see you in court , and do n't you dare worry about my legal fees . honestly , burying you is gon na be worth every penny . ashley : so , how far do you intend on taking this ? jack : oh , why stop now when i 'm having this much fun ? victoria : well , i guess i 'm gon na have to write jill a check for all this wasted inventory . billy : on the contrary , this is an investment into your mental health . and if you ask me , i think you stopped too soon . victoria : nope , i 'm good . billy : liar . come on . there 's more stomping on that last nerve than jack kicking us out of here or cane and me getting in a fight . so come on -- let it out . victoria : billy , i really do n't need to let anything out . billy : you know what ? victoria : what are you doing ? [ glass shatters ] victoria : ah . billy : we 'll call that one travis , okay ? and here . go ahead . you can call that one billy . i will not be offended . go on . i know you want to . victoria : this is silly . billy : no , it 's not . it 's actually cheaper than therapy and probably a write- off , so let 's see it . [ glass shatters ] billy : oh - ho - ho ! yeah ! victoria : you 're right . that felt really good ! billy : yeah . see ? now , what about here ? victoria : no , no , no . billy : yes , come on . you ca n't stop festering all this kind of thing . you got to let it out . so have at it . there 's family issues , right ? there 's johnny 's preschool teacher , that condescending ... victoria : i ca n't stand that guy . i 'm gon na need two for that guy . [ glass shatters ] billy : there you go . perfect . and dare i say , daddy issues ? victoria : okay . a little one for him . billy : okay . [ glass shatters ] billy : yes ! victoria : and virgil in shipping . billy : virgil . victoria : and nancy in distribution . and the guy that cut me off on the 173 . billy : hate the 173 ! [ glass shattering ] victoria : no , we should n't . billy : oh , yes , we should . come on . we have come too far to turn back now . come on . we owe it to ourselves . it is a fantastic idea . victoria : no . billy : you got it ? victoria : put it back . billy : nope . victoria : no . billy : no . victor : well , that 's a very interesting ... [ glass shatters ] victor : ... approach to r & d . jill : what the hell is going on here ? billy : i convinced victoria to lay down a carpet of glass . that way , when somebody comes here that we do n't want here , you can hear them . jill : oh , stop it ! would you please behave like an adult for two seconds ? billy : i would love to , but it 's kind of impossible with him here . by the way , what are you doing here ? victor : offering my beautiful daughter refuge . victoria : oh , thanks , dad . that 's so nice of you . victor : darling , why do n't you move brash & sassy to newman tower ? you know , i think it 's best for everyone concerned . and to hell with jabot . who needs them ? both : that 's not happening . victor : what , are you disagreeing in tandem now ? i mean , this is like a stereo . billy : yes , and no , thank you , but we do n't need newman space , because we 're not leaving here , because we all know why jack is pulling this stunt , and i 'm not gon na let him get away with it . jill : yes , and i just came from seeing jack , and i 'm in complete agreement with billy . victor : well , i have a simpler solution . billy : oh , really ? i would love to hear that . please , tell me -- what am i missing , victor ? victor : since you seem to be the cause for jack wanting to evict brash & sassy , why do n't you just move along , get the hell out of here ? that way , i 'm sure jack will offer brash & sassy a lifetime lease if you are out of the picture . nick : you know , you do n't have to do that . noah can handle the rest . unless , of course , you do n't want to leave . phyllis : you know what ? if i leave ... i got to go back to jabot ... and see jack . and wonder if he 's gon na compliment me on my hair color ... if our hands gon na touch when i give him that report or that memo or fax that i make up an excuse just to see him with . i 'm gon na wonder if he will ever love me again . nick : phyllis ... phyllis : look , while i am still stalling , i would like you to give this to faith after she takes her bow tonight . it 's the only undamaged piece of cake left . nick : hey , for the record , i did n't know christian was gon na tackle the cake . phyllis : oh - ho ! yeah , blame the toddler . yeah , classy . nick : it 's not blame . it 's pride . i mean , he went after that cake with true newman gusto . phyllis : no , you 're raising him right . nick : and it is chocolate , which happens to be my favorite . phyllis : he 's definitely your son . nick : i just ca n't wait to learn every single thing about him . phyllis : you know , look . i know that you are still angry at sharon , and i do not blame you , but you got to admit , she and dylan did very good during the time they had with him . nick : what ? i 'm sorry . did -- did you just say something nice about sharon ? phyllis : well , i really do n't want to , but i am looking at the bright side of things for you . nick : well , the bright side is that my son is alive , and he is with me . phyllis : no , you 're right . i am very happy . christian is exactly where he belongs . nick : thanks , phyllis . phyllis : hold on . um ... can you turn your head a little ? just -- yeah . cake . are you saving this for later ? paul : sorry , nikki . i 've got a new case kicking into gear , and i 'm juggling a lot of the details . nikki : oh , no , i understand . i 'm just a little anxious about dylan . maybe i 'm being oversensitive , but after a few unanswered calls and texts -- i do n't know -- one starts to feel that they 're being avoided . is he avoiding me ? paul : well , nikki , i ca n't speak for him . nikki : okay , then . forget i asked . paul : well , i can tell you that ... dylan is missing the child he raised for over a year , and it just so happens that christian is living with your other son now . nikki : well , if he thinks that i 'm taking sides , i 'm not . paul : well , i do n't think you are , nikki , but i can tell you , from my perspective , how much it hurt to lose a grandson . so i ca n't tell you -- i ca n't imagine -- what he must be going through . nikki : i want to be there for him . i want to comfort him . he wo n't let me . paul : like you were there for nick ? nikki : look , i am trying to do good by both my sons in this horrible situation . no matter what i do , somebody gets hurt . i - i have to go to faith 's school . i do n't want to be late for her performance . but if you should see dylan , can you please tell him i was here ? paul : i can do that . [ door opens ] paul : you just missed your mother . dylan : yeah , i know . i was waiting for her to leave . paul : she thinks that you 're avoiding her . dylan : [ sighs ] paul : you know , dylan , i -- i thought you did n't want to talk to nikki about christian because it hurt too much . but now i 'm getting the feeling it 's much deeper than that . dylan : yeah , it is deep , paul . nikki made her choice , and her choice was nick . sharon : hi . you seen faith yet ? nick : no , i just got here before you did . sharon : okay . uh , well , as long as we have a moment alone , there 's something i wanted to run by you . nick : are you kidding me right now ? sharon : what ? nick : how many times do we have to do this ? i thought you and dylan were not gon na ask me anymore about spending time with christian ? sharon : this is n't about christian . faith : i need you -- both of you ! help ! jill : we do n't need your help with office space , so ... victor : do n't be so hasty , all right ? i gave you damn good advice . if you want to get rid of the problem , get rid of billy boy . i do n't know what the issue is . jill : no , you would n't . thank you very much , but i really do n't need your advice in running my company , and any suggestions you have about whether billy should stay or leave -- not needed . victor : you know , sometimes i ca n't help it . advice just slips past my lips before i can edit it . jill : oh , my god . you know how to edit yourself ? that 's news . victor : is n't that something ? jill : mm . victor : so you do n't need my advice ? jill : no , i do n't want your advice . in fact , when i have a problem , do you know what i do ? victor : what do you do ? jill : i ask myself what katherine would do , and then i have my solution . victor : i 'll be damned . you know what katherine would want ? is for you to make sure that her legacy stays intact and that chancellor industries stays on top . that 's what she would want . jill : what she would want is family loyalty . that 's what you do n't understand , and that 's why billy is staying . victor : and you understand family loyalty ? wow . i 'll be damned . jill : so , if you 'll excuse me , i have a strategy to execute . victor : well , if you 'll excuse me , i have my granddaughter 's play to go to . how 's that ? bye - bye . jill : have a good time . victor : same to you . jill : playtime is over . jack : what is this ? an early christmas present ? ashley : brash & sassy 's lease . do you want to go over it with me , and i can show you just how out of line you are ? look , i do n't want them in the building any more than you do , jack , and i 'm not a lawyer , but it 's pretty cut - and - dry -- you can not legally evict them . jack : i guess it 's a good thing for all of us you sidestepped that legal career . you 'd be awful at this . ashley : the contract is binding . jack : contracts are made to be broken . everyone knows that . ashley : i do n't know that . that 's why we sign our names to them . we 're promising to uphold the terms that we 've agreed upon . jack : in some ideal dream world . i function in the real world , where real business gets done , and where our lawyers are two floors down right now finding any loophole they can for me . ashley : they 're finding any loophole ? jack : i know what i 'm doing , ash ! ashley : you know ... let 's just put all this aside , okay ? is this really necessary , all this drama ? is that the best way to use our time , jack ? i mean , jabotgo is doing so great , we 're scaling up to meet demand , ravi is working his buns off -- christmas is upon us ! jack : and now is the time to assure that the success we 're about to enjoy is secure . you created jabotgo . it 's your baby . look what it 's done to jabot 's bottom line . think what you could create if you had your lab back . you miss it , do n't you ? ashley : that 's beside the point . jack : there is nothing arbitrary about the timing of kicking brash & sassy out to the curb . it is necessary . what does n't make any sense is putting out all this blood , sweat , and tears to put jabot on top while our competitor resides a few floors down , trying to undercut us . ashley : you can say his name . it 's billy . jack : billy ... you 're right . i do n't trust him . i 've been given good reason not to . would n't you agree ? phyllis : am i interrupting ? phyllis : here 's that marketing report i promised you . ashley : you could n't e - mail it ? phyllis : i did that , too , but i thought maybe you 'd want to take a look at the hard copy before it 's distributed . jack : i 'll take a look when i have a chance . phyllis : terrific . ashley : changed your hair , huh ? phyllis : yeah , it was time for a change . ashley : i guess we heard the last of that nickname of yours . i 'm not gon na miss it . are you ? phyllis : goodbye . ashley : oh , my god . she 's so obvious . she changes her hair , she has to drop off reports in person -- it 's all ploys to stay in your head . jack : that 's why i did n't comment on it . i wish you had n't , either . i have moved on . and if i do n't engage with phyllis , she 'll do the same thing . ashley : so , on a brighter note , about that lease -- jack : could we argue about this over dinner ? i 'm starving . ashley : fine . sharon : look , you know nikki 's not my favorite person in the world at all , but she does love you , and that 's very real . dylan : but , look , i 'm not one of her kids , really . you know what i 'm saying . i did n't grow up with her . i know she cares about me , but when push comes to shove , she 's a newman , and i 'm not . and that makes all the difference . [ breathes deeply ] paul : excuse me . dylan : what -- what are you doing ? i thought you wanted me to go over this case . paul : do you think you can come in here and drop a bomb like that about your mother , get busy with work , and pretend like you never said anything ? dylan : i 'm not pretending . i 'm just doing my job . paul : dylan , you 've got a personal life , too . it does n't go away when you walk in the office . dylan : i just -- i do n't know what you want from me right now . paul : in my office . close the door . so , you think that nikki is choosing nick over you . dylan : okay , nikki is focusing on her family , and i 'm gon na follow her lead , and i 'm gon na focus on my family , whatever that takes . paul : you are nikki 's family . dylan : can we not go over this again , all right ? not right now . paul : all right . consider the subject dropped . dylan : thank you . paul : you have it in your head to focus on your family ? case can wait . dylan : come on , paul . honestly , i could -- i could use the distraction right now . paul : you already have one . from what i understand , faith has a performance tonight . dylan : yeah . yeah , she does . but i thought that we were gon na go over this case . paul : i do n't want you using this job as a way of hiding from your personal issues , especially when it causes you to miss events like this . dylan , kids grow up fast -- faster than you think . this case can wait . do i have to make it a direct order ? dylan : no , that 's not necessary . thank you . nick : here we go . faith : is it almost done ? the show 's about to start . sharon : almost . nick : safety pin ... faith : hurry ! sharon : okay ... done . faith : you saved my life . you are the best mom and dad ever . nick : oh . faith : oh , grandpa 's here ! sharon : okay . why do n't you go say hi ? your dad and i have to talk . nick : actually , i 'll go with you , faith . come on . faith : hi , grandpa ! victor : how you doing ? nikki : where is dylan ? is he coming ? sharon : what do you care , nikki ? nicholas is here , otherwise known as the son who counts . nikki : that 's not true , and you know it . i did everything i could to keep christian in dylan 's life . nikki : as long as i was not involved . i know , nikki . you 're more transparent than cellophane . nikki : oh , and you 're about as deep as a cookie sheet . how both of my brilliant sons got mixed up with the likes of you i do n't know . victor : i have a feeling that i 'm gon na see the best performance i 've ever seen . faith : maybe not . victor : why ? faith : what if i forget everything ? nick : what are you talking about ? you have spent so much time memorizing and rehearsing . you 're gon na be amazing . faith : but i 'm so nervous . victor : but , sweetheart , i have spoken with thousands of people -- i still do . everyone gets nervous . that 's normal . it 's okay . faith : but how do you make the nervous feeling go away ? victor : hmm . victor : well , i have a secret . do you want to know what it is ? faith : a secret ? yeah ! victor : come here . what you do is this . you look at the crowd , and you pick just one person . you do n't think about anyone else , do n't look at anyone else , just that one person , and you try to look at them and convince them of your performance . okay ? faith : just one person ? victor : yeah , one person . faith : who do i pick ? victor : well , you 'll figure it out . okay ? faith : thanks for giving me your secret , grandpa . victor : you 're welcome , my sweetheart . good luck . wow . faith : it 's time . the show 's about to start ! eee ! jack : next time you suggest a new restaurant , pick one with better service . ashley : stop complaining . the food was decent . got some work done . jack : yeah , once you agreed that i was right to terminate brash & sassy 's lease ... ashley : i did n't agree to anything like that at all . i just said i 'd put it aside so we can get some other things done . jack : damn . i thought i got that one by you . ashley : what , you think i like harping on you all the time ? i 'm trying to keep you from making a huge mistake . jack : if it 's a mistake , it 's my mistake to make . i 'm getting sick of you questioning everything i do . if they sue us , they sue us . that 's why i have a team of lawyers two floors down . i 've got this , ash . can we please drop it ? ashley : no , we ca n't . jill : and the lipsticks ? billy : i have the numbers here . victoria : mattes are outselling shimmers , as expected . i just shot you the latest stats . jill : and the european market ? billy : i think we 're -- victoria : they 're leading with the darker shades . the data 's on page 5 . jill : good . well , i 'm glad to see that our numbers are steady , because our attention will be elsewhere occupied for quite a while . stopping this ludicrous eviction by jack will be our number - one job . so , i hope both of you will bear that in mind the next time you get the urge to destroy expensive office equipment . victoria : okay , look , i do n't need a lecture on what 's important . jill : oh , you do n't ? billy : no . no , we 're very clear about what we have to do about jack . victoria : jack is trying to toss us out at a critical time because he wants to hurt the company . jill : well , i 'm glad to see that you both know what the stakes are here , okay ? so get together with cane and find out how to beat jabot at their own game , because i am done playing around . faith : dylan ! dylan : hey ! faith : hey ! you came ! dylan : yeah , i ran in just as the curtain came up . i had to stay in back , but i loved every minute of it , and you were awesome . faith : thanks . dylan : congratulations . faith : are those for me ? dylan : yeah . faith : oh , i love flowers . i was thinking maybe i 'd want to be an astronaut when i grow up , but now i like show business a lot more . sharon : honey , you were so great ! faith : thanks ! sharon : wow ! i thought you could n't come . dylan : it was too important to miss . faith : it was almost awful , but mom and dad saved me 'cause they fixed my costume . otherwise , i would 've been a total wreck . sharon : faith , do n't sell yourself short . your performance tonight was a great success because you put in all the sweat and the hard work and the dedication it took to make it that way . you have a lot to be proud of . this is your night , faith . faith : you 're the best . oh ! i have to tell grandpa something . i 'll be right back . sharon : okay . dylan : bet that hug felt good , huh ? sharon : you have no idea . faith : well , thanks for coming . nikki : thank you for such a wonderful evening . victor : you were wonderful . okay ? faith : because i used your secret . victor : oh , you did ? what 'd you do ? who 'd you pick ? faith : it was you . victor : oh ! i love that . i love that . i love that . nick : hey , uh , sorry , earlier , jumping the gun , thinking you wanted to talk about christian . dylan : you asked ? nick : asked what ? sharon : well , we were talking about faith 's schedule for winter break , and we thought , since you 're gon na have your hands full with christian and the underground , it might just be better for everyone if , uh , we changed it up a little and faith spent the majority of those nights at our house . nick : absolutely not . billy : do n't worry about my mom . she lays it on thick sometimes . it 's just part of her charm . victoria : oh , shut up , will you , billy ? billy : what 'd i -- what 'd i do now ? victoria : no , it 's not -- it 's what we did , okay ? i never should 've gone along with your suggestion to break beakers and test tubes . what did it get me , huh ? did it get me some deeper epiphany or some greater understanding of myself ? hardly . i looked like a total goofball . billy : and what 's wrong with that ? victoria : because it was humiliating , and not just in front of jill , in front of my father , of all people . billy : you do n't care what he thinks , victoria . victoria : i have worked too hard creating something special with this company to let people think that i take it like a joke . i 'm a professional . i have credibility , or at least , i -- i had credibility . until you started in with your childish antics . billy : okay . well , i apologize . it 's no excuse . i 'm just trying to make you laugh a little bit . victoria : there is no excuse . my work is very important to me . and i created this company from scratch , and i am gon na do everything to make damn sure that it stays on track . jerk . ashley : you know , jack , i 've been excited about working with you again . we 're doing great things . actually , amazing things . and i know sometimes in business , of course , obviously , you have to be tough . you 're morphing into somebody i do n't like very much . i understand , what happened with billy and phyllis -- i mean , it changed you and not for the better . jack : i 'm not going to be a doormat anymore . what they say about nice guys is true . i am not going to finish last again . ashley : so that 's how you see it ? that 's how you 're gon na justify your callous and , frankly , extremely ugly behavior ? jack : i will say this once again . the choices i am making are for the good of this company . ashley : you know what i see ? what i know ? this bitterness is gon na eat you up if you let it , jack . you 're better than that . i do n't want that for you . nick : i think it 's astonishing that you do n't think it 's insensitive at all that you 're asking me to not spend christmas or new year 's with faith . it 's her entire vacation . sharon : it 's not her entire vacation . dylan : it 's a legitimate request . families do it all the time . nick : well , not this family and not this time . dylan : but it could be better for faith . nick : what , for me to ignore my daughter over christmas ? sharon : that 's not what we 're saying . would n't you like some time alone with christian where you do n't have to also take care of a 9-year - old ? just be in that baby bubble for your first christmas with your son ? nick : i love how you two are selling this , like it 's some benefit to me . but you would be the ones who would get faith for two weeks straight . dylan : that 's not even close . you 're gon na have christmas at your dad 's . you 're gon na see her then , you 're gon na see her each and every day at the ranch . all we 're really talking about is having her sleep at our place . nick : you know , dylan , i do n't even want to talk about this with you , all right ? this is between me and sharon . the custody agreement is in place . sharon : and we 're not suggesting that we should change the entire -- nick : i really wanted to spend christmas with my son and my daughter . do i have to remind you that i lost my wife ? i 'll be without her over the holidays ? dylan : we know you suffered a loss , okay ? we suffered a loss , too . nick : did you just go there ? do you expect me to feel sorry for you ? you stole my son from me . i 'm not agreeing to this . you 're just gon na have to live with the agreement that we already made . faith : stop ! why are you guys always fighting ? you 're always ruining everything . i hate it ! i want a divorce ! [ next_on ] christine : you are throwing your son into harm 's way . can you really live with that ? sharon : i do n't want to fight with you about this ! nick : i do n't want to fight , either ! dylan : faith 's not up there . nick : where is she ? victor : my granddaughter faith is missing . i want you to search the grounds immediately , all right ?Summarize.[/INST]since jill intends to sue jack over the abrupt termination of the brash and sassy lease , he is ready for a fight . victoria is ready to do anything she has to do to make sure that brash and sassy stays on track . dylan tells sharon that he is going undercover on a case and will be away at night , so he tells her to ask nick if faith could stay with her at night so she wo n't feel lonely . nikki tells paul she feels like dylan is avoiding her . dylan tells paul that he is avoiding nikki , because he feels like victoria and nick will always be more important to nikki and he does n't have a place in her life . the newman family gathers to watch faith in her play . afterwards , dylan asks if faith can spend the night with sharon . nick refuses ; and when faith overhears them fighting , she shouts that she is sick of all their fighting and wants a divorce .</s>

maxie : i 'm fine . lulu : are you sure ? how 's the baby ? can you feel any kicking ? maxie : i think it 's a little too soon for that . how 's your dad ? have you found him ? lulu : the american consulate finally got us permission to visit the prison , but people here are n't saying anything . it 's like my dad 's disappeared . maxie : well , stop worrying about me and concentrate on finding your dad . i 'll see you when you get back . lulu : but it could be a few more days . are you sure that you 're gon na be okay ? maxie : yes . i 've barely moved off the couch . lulu : i just feel bad being so far away from you and the baby . maxie : i got to go . my mom 's on the other line . lulu : okay . i 'm gon na call you later . dante : [ sighs ] lulu : hey . did you talk to the warden ? dante : yeah lulu : so , what did they say ? do they know where my dad is ? britt : how did dante and lulu take the news about the miscarriage ? maxie : they do n't know . i could n't tell them that i 'm not carrying their baby anymore . patrick : hey , you two . spinelli : hi . ellie : hi . patrick : ellie , how you feeling ? ellie : actually , i 'm a little bit worried . i know you told me that if i had n't regained any feeling or functionality within a week -- patrick : mm - hmm . ellie : -- that i probably never would . it 's been 6 1/2 days , and i ca n't feel anything . tracy : ned , i 'll call you back . a.j . : you just sharing the news that your new co - c.e.o . is cuckoo ? tracy : [ sighs ] lucy : ohh ! i do n't need a doctor ! i am not crazy ! i just wish someone would believe me . heather : i believe you . lucy : you do ? you believe me ? heather : of course . you 're every bit as sane as i am . judge horowitz : how do you plead , mr. manning ? todd : i am not guilty . diane : come on . your honor , at this time , i would like to request bail . i do not believe -- todd : the person who did those things is not me . carly : he 's gon na blame it all on heather webber . heather : i 'm sure this is all a misunderstanding . lucy : how -- how do you know that ? heather : just a feeling . lucy : well , thank you . finally , someone gets it . although i wonder if you 'd feel the same way if i told you that port charles is in grave danger from a vampire named caleb morley . diane : you have me on a very generous retainer to speak for you . that 's what i need you to let me do now , all right ? i need you to let me do my job . do n't say anything . just sit there . i 'm gon na do damage control . judge horowitz : mr. manning , you 're saying that someone else committed these crimes ? campbell : if i may , your honor ? mr. manning has maintained all along that the blame lies with his accomplice , heather webber . and while ms . webber may have helped him to switch the babies , she certainly did n't help to bribe a police officer or to try and escape . todd : i 'm not blaming heather , although it 's all completely her fault . judge horowitz : and who are you blaming , mr. manning ? dante : i got the warden to admit there was some kind of incident , an uprising , like your father said , but they said everything 's under control . lulu : and the gunshot that i heard ? dante : well , there were shots fired . i knew it . dante : this whole place is on lockdown . they 're trying to gather information . lulu : that 's what they told us yesterday . dante : i know , so i told the warden you got to throw me something today , now . otherwise , i 'm gon na go to the embassy . lulu : ahh . after all the times my dad 's been in prison for crimes he 's committed , what if the one time he 's innocent , he ca n't get out ? dante : look , who 's the one that 's telling me your father 's indestructible ? we will find him . lulu : [ sighs ] it 's not just my dad i 'm worried about . i 'm worried about maxie , too . maxie : i tried to tell them that i had a miscarriage . i even invited them over to my apartment and sat them down . britt : what stopped you ? maxie : fate . i 'm not kidding . it 's like the cosmos were saying , `` maxie , shut up , `` so i took it as a sign . britt : of what ? maxie : that i should n't tell them . then dante and lulu got a call , and now they 're out of the country , looking for her dad . britt : well , you 're gon na have to tell them about the miscarriage as soon as they get back . maxie : maybe not . patrick : ellie , just relax . close your eyes . let me know if you feel anything , okay ? ellie : [ gasps ] i felt that ! a.j . : you know , tracy , i just ca n't help but wonder what lucy 's little psychotic break does to your agreement . i mean , i know i 'm no attorney or anything , but -- i do n't know -- i think maybe her vote would be null and void . tracy : a.j . in front of your son ? what kind of an example are you setting , taking advantage of this poor woman 's condition ? oh , wait . i think the judge ordered a psych evaluation , and if i 'm not mistaken , in elq 's charter , there is a non compos mentis rider . a.j . : so , this is my aunt not taking advantage of that poor woman 's condition . nice . tracy : i am right about this . daddy put a insanity clause in the elq by - laws , which means i have the right to fire lucy . she can not be co - c.e.o . ca n't have a wacko running the company . a.j . : no ? what 's your excuse ? tracy : now that she has proven unfit , i remain in control of the company . a.j . : unless there 's a new vote . lucy : so , i tried to slay the vampire , but i do n't know if caleb was too strong . i do n't know what happened . but he just vanished , and i searched for years to try and find him , and , lo and behold , he ends up back in port charles at kelly 's diner . [ sighs ] heather : wow . i miss their blts . lucy : yeah . really good , right ? heather : yeah . lucy : i mean , anyway , i tried to stab him in the chest . i got him , but i must have missed his heart because he did not combust and he somehow survived the whole thing . heather : well , that must have been disappointing . lucy : yeah , very -- not to mention the fact that everybody is telling me , `` no , you 're mistaken . he 's not caleb morley . he 's human , he 's a cop , and his name is john mcbain . `` heather : wait . you think john mcbain is a vampire ? lucy : you know john mcbain ? heather : what you 're saying makes perfect sense . i 've always found him to be very cold and remote . lucy : well , duh ! he 's undead . you know what ? you are very , very lucky that he did not drink your blood . heather : well , maybe not literally , but once he sunk his teeth into my case , he would n't let go . campbell : your honor , we have eyewitnesses . we have a documented recording . so , if mr. manning is n't blaming heather webber -- todd : heather webber is guilty as hell -- diane : todd , sit down ! todd : -- because heather webber is crazy as hell ! only a crazy person would take somebody 's baby and give it to somebody else . only a crazy person would try and bribe a police officer or -- or try and run away from a hospital when there was a guard less than 10 feet away ! judge horowitz : get to the point , mr. manning ! todd : that is my point ! if you do crazy things , you 're a crazy person . i 'm pleading not guilty because i 'm insane . diane : your honor , i request at this time that my client be allowed to take the stand in his own defense . campbell : objection . your honor , this is an arraignment , not a trial . diane : these are very unique circumstances , your honor , and notwithstanding the da 's attempt to spit - polish his own career and railroad my client , we could save the taxpayers a great deal of time and expense . we would n't even need a trial if my client could simply be allowed to explain . campbell : why did n't he explain to the police ? diane : he tried , but neither of the arresting officers -- neither detective dante falconeri nor detective john mcbain , who happens to be present today in court -- were interested in listening to my client . they were n't interested in getting to the truth . that 's why we 're here today . may my client please be allowed to simply speak ? judge horowitz : very well . mr. manning , you may take the stand , but i caution you not to waste the court 's time . tracy : you do n't have the authority to call for a new vote . lucy sided with me -- before her breakdown -- so it 's a done deal . a.j . : i think the other shareholders might disagree with that . tracy : anybody who voted for me is not deluded enough to believe in you . a.j . : well , i think lucy 's the one who 's delusional . tracy : now that i can legally fire her , i remain in control of the company . it 's all mine . i do n't have to run around like a crazed chihuahua , trying to please her . michael , i am so sorry . i tried to make it clear to you that a.j . was gon na fail at this like he fails at everything . michael : okay , look -- if you were willing to make lucy your co - c.e.o . , why not give a.j . a chance ? tracy : well , `` a , `` because he 's incompetent , and , `` b , `` because i want to run the company by myself . i 'm gon na go call the lawyers now and tell them the sad news that our co - c.e.o . is insane . a.j . : okay , that evaluation is pending . tracy : well , actually , the judge remanded lucy to ferncliff after she tried to kill a man she claimed was a vampire in a courtroom full of witnesses . do n't hold your breath . michael : so , what are you thinking ? a.j . : [ sighs heavily ] i 'm thinking i need to get to lucy coe right now . heather : you really put a wooden stake in john mcbain 's chest ? lucy : yeah . yeah , i did . i just still ca n't figure out how i missed his heart . i - i - i got to be out of practice or something . heather : well , you still get an `` a `` for effort . lucy : well , thank you . do you really actually believe me ? heather : of course . you have honest eyes . lucy : oh . well , made all the more honest by my use of coecoe 's truth - in - beauty eye collection . heather : i love coecoe cosmetics . of course , they do n't sell them here . i am in desperate need of blush . you know what the blush is that i love the most ? whipped innocence . lucy : that 's it ! that whipped innocence is your perfect shade . i tell you what -- i will get you some at cost . heather : really ? you have an in at the company ? lucy : oh , yeah . you could say that . i just happen to be lucy coe , founder and president of coecoe cosmetics . heather : you are my hero ! you not only invented my favorite makeup , you saved alan quartermaine from that harpy monica . lucy : how do you know that ? heather : i was married to a `` q `` once . we 're practically sisters . lucy : who are you ? heather : heather webber . lucy : eww ! you 're heather webber ? ! you 're the one who took advantage of poor edward after mother quartermaine passed ? ! you tried to seduce him and then kill him to take his money ! heather : at least i waited till his wife died . you went after alan while monica still had a pulse . lucy : yeah ? ! well , that 's 'cause i -- loved him , sort of . i - i did . look , we stayed friends , and we had a slightly contentious divorce , but you -- you are a psycho . heather : takes one to know one . lucy : [ sighs heavily ] diane : your honor , my client , todd manning , suffers from severe p.t.s.d . , and , yes , there is precedent . when he was charged with the death of his brother -- his twin brother -- he was found not guilty by reason of insanity due to severe post - traumatic stress disorder , and this was sustained during eight years of imprisonment by his mother in a cell where he was systematically tortured -- todd : stop . diane , stop . stop . cut it out . look , i killed my mother . i killed my brother . i 've done terrible things . they 're all a matter of public record . that 's not what we 're here to talk about . when i do something terrible -- i always feel like it 's not -- really me who does the terrible things . it 's very hard for me to describe . i always have this voice in my head that tells me that i should n't do it , and is n't that the definition of insanity -- right -- having a voice inside my head ? i was in the woods -- in the middle of a storm with my ex - wife , and she 's having a baby -- my brother 's baby , my brother , who i killed -- and the baby dies in my arms . diane : it 's okay . just -- just take a moment . your honor , when -- when tea delgado 's baby died , my client was so traumatized that his stress disorder resurfaced . he did not want to cause tea delgado , his ex - wife , any further pain and suffering . tea delgado claimed the wrong baby from the start . there was no malicious intent on the part of todd manning to baby - switch . campbell : excuse me . am i hearing this correctly ? are you saying the switch happened by accident ? diane : your honor , if i may be allowed to continue ? judge horowitz : mr. campbell , i 'm granting ms . miller and her client a little leeway . that does n't mean we have a free - for - all . ms. miller ? diane : thank you , your honor . it was heather webber who took full , deliberate advantage of my client 's fragile mental condition , heather webber -- in order to pursue an aggressive agenda against samantha morgan , heather webber , who coerced my client into participating in switching the babies . campbell : your honor , heather webber is not being arraigned here . judge horowitz : yes , mr. campbell . we 're all aware of that fact . move it along , ms . miller . diane : your honor , when my client found himself imprisoned for a kidnapping he did not commit , trapped again in a jail cell as he had been for those eight long years by his mother , he snapped . his stress disorder resurfaced again . that is why he attempted to bribe detective mcbain . that is why he attempted to flee the hospital after being beaten half to death by his cellmate . he is in the grip of severe p.t.s.d . , your honor . he does not need more prison time . he needs psychiatric help . carly : i object ! ellie : whatever you just did , i felt it ! patrick : actually , ellie , i was n't touching you in that moment . ellie : you were n't ? patrick : no . spinelli : maybe it was a delayed reaction ? patrick : no . ellie : [ sighs ] i guess i just imagined it , then , or hoped i felt something . patrick : look , there 's still reason to be optimistic . sometimes it takes longer than a week to regain sensation . of course , we 'll keep an eye on you . we just got to continue to be patient . [ pager beeps ] patrick : and if there 's any other questions that you have , we 'll get a prognosis as soon as we can , okay ? ellie : okay . patrick : okay . spinelli : dr. drake is an excellent surgeon . ellie : i know . spinelli : he would n't give you false hope . ellie : [ sighs ] do n't worry . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na cry . [ sighs ] i mean , i 'm just lucky to be alive , right ? and i have you . and i 'm not -- not -- gon na feel sorry for myself . [ crying ] maxie : ellie trout told me there are still two embryos left . britt : yes . that 's standard practice , just in case the couple wants to try again . maxie : okay . so , could n't you just , like , slip me another one and then by the time dante and lulu are back , i 'm pregnant again and they never know i lost the first baby ? dante : what 's wrong with maxie ? what did she say on the phone ? lulu : what she always says -- that she 's fine . but i know her . she 's my best friend , and i feel like she 's keeping something from me . dante : well , we are both really nervous about the baby . lulu : i 'm the one that 's nervous , and i know that i have a tendency to overreact , but she keeps finding excuses to get off the phone with me . dante : great ! that 's good ! you 're calling long - distance from turkey . she 's saving us some money . lulu : what about what happened before we left ? she called us over , and she was gon na tell us something . dante : yeah , well , she also said that it was n't urgent . lulu : but that 's because my dad called from here and we heard a gunshot and then the line went dead . she knew that we were gon na go after him , and she 's not gon na hold us up , but i 'm starting to get the feeling that she was gon na tell us something big . maxie : [ sighs ] dante and lulu have already been through so much trying to have a family . why tell them that i lost the baby if we do n't have to ? britt : maxie , i ca n't withhold that kind of information . maxie : okay , but they can still have the baby that they want and they do n't have to blame me for the first miscarriage . britt : i told you there 's no way to pinpoint a cause . the embryo may not have been viable . maxie : or it 's because i fell chasing their dog . britt : it 's very unlikely . maxie : if dante and lulu find out , it could ruin our friendship , and they might not trust me enough to try again . please , dr. westbourne ? having a child means everything to them , and i do n't want to let them down . just make me pregnant again . need a good reason to change shampoo ? dante : maybe she wants to move -- she does n't like living with ellie anymore . lulu : yeah , i guess i could see that , because she 's in love with spinelli and living with his girlfriend would be hard , but if that was the problem , why would she have wanted you there ? dante : maybe 'cause she likes me and she values my opinions . lulu : mm . dante : look -- whatever it was , clearly , maxie thought it could keep . [ men shouting in distance ] spinelli : maxie ? maxie : spinelli , h - hi . spinelli : what are you doing here ? are you okay ? maxie : me ? yes , fine . spinelli : and the baby ? maxie : i 'm just here for some check - ups . it 's normal with the surrogacy . how 's ellie ? spinelli : still has n't regained any feeling in her legs . maxie : it 's been almost a week . does that mean she 's paralyzed ? spinelli : too soon to say , but we 're hopeful . maxie : yeah , yeah . you have to be . i would go see her if it was n't so awkward . i mean -- that 's why i have n't heard from you , right -- because we slept together ? spinelli : i 've been a bit preoccupied . maxie : well , 'cause you said that it was fate and we were supposed to be together , and i 'm just wondering if that 's why you have n't called me -- because of ellie 's condition . spinelli : no , maxie . it 's not . michael : why do you need to see lucy coe ? a.j . : if tracy 's gon na boot lucy out of elq , this might be just the incentive that we need for her to come over to my side . now , look -- i have to get to her before she 's declared incompetent -- get her to sign her shares over to me while she still can . michael : okay . well , are n't you basically doing the same thing tracy was doing -- taking advantage of lucy 's mental state ? a.j . : no , no , no . i 'm giving her options . listen , once she 's declared sane , i promise i 'll treat her fairly . look , michael , i 'm gon na need you to cover for me on this , okay ? michael : [ sighing ] how ? a.j . : tracy ca n't know what i 'm doing , all right ? she ca n't know where i 'm going . so , if she says anything , you need to make something up , all right ? michael : whoa . hold on a second , a.j . i 'm the world 's worst liar . ask anybody . tracy 's gon na see right through me . a.j . : michael , between your mother and me , it 's in your dna . trust me , kid -- you can handle this . tracy : ned , the lawyers are on it , and before you say anything , yes , lucy 's vote for me as c.e.o . still stands , even after she 's -- where 's a.j . ? lucy : apart from a great appreciation for quality cosmetics , you and i have nothing in common . heather : yeah , monica always said you were a pretentious little climber . well , that does n't work in here . you see , ferncliff is the greatest equalizer . everybody 's criminally insane . they 're just trying to make the most of it . lucy : well , just speak for yourself , 'cause those doctors are gon na tell that judge that he made a huge mistake in my case . heather : yeah . when you tell them how you tried to stab detective mcvampire with a wooden stake , you 're gon na be stuck in a cell with me . oh , we 'll be sharing some anti - aging cream from coecoe cosmetics when we 're 80 ! lucy : wow ! you are really even meaner than everybody said ! heather : oh , i 'm not mean . just honest . you 're gon na be committed , and when you realize you 're stuck here , you 're gon na need a friend . that would be me . carly : your honor , i know that mr. manning is not suffering from p.t.s.d . diane : your honor , this woman is not a psychiatrist . judge horowitz : i want to hear this . are you a psychiatrist ? carly : no , but i 've spent a good deal of time with mr. manning over the last few months . i 've had a chance to observe , and i know that he is in his right mind . todd : i 'm not . carly : so , you 're saying that nothing we had was real -- that the p.t.s.d . is the reason you said and did everything ? todd : no . that 's not what i 'm saying at all . carly : so , it just comes and goes ? todd : yeah . carly : you ca n't have it both ways , todd . you have to take responsibility for your choices , good or bad , right or wrong , or you have to deny it all , including me . todd : i , uh -- no , i - i know that what we had was real . i know that . i know that i was never more together than when i was with you . i fell in love with you , carly . i know that . carly : todd , you have to admit to what you did . and you have to trust me to stand by you . everyone lies . everyone makes mistakes . but you got to own what you did . dante : you 're gon na make yourself crazy with that . lulu : i just want to text maxie . dante : what are you gon na tell her ? lulu : i do n't know -- that i 'm worried ? dante : really ? 'cause she 's at home on a couch . you 're halfway around the world in a prison . you see the irony in that , right ? lulu : i know . at least it keeps my mind off my dad . is that blood ? spinelli : i allowed myself to fall into bed with you b - because i thought that ellie had rejected me , that we were over . but i was wrong . she had every intention of honoring our rendezvous on the roof , and until she was hit by a car -- maxie : but what happened to ellie is not your fault . spinelli : she was lying in agony on the side of the road while -- i was drinking myself into a stupor , convinced that her absence could only mean that -- you and i were meant to be together . maxie : well , right , 'cause that 's what you said -- that when things got their worst , we always found each other because we 're meant to be together . spinelli : but i was mistaken . ellie does want to be with me . and that 's why i 'm -- i 'm back with her . maxie : just until she 's better , right ? i mean , like , just until she can walk again ? spinelli : i mean , of course i could never leave her in this condition -- that 's true -- but -- i 'm staying with her because i want to be with her . maxie : and not me ? you 're choosing her -- again . just say that . spinelli : i love you , maxie . i always will . but that is correct . tracy : where 's a.j . ? michael : who ? tracy : [ chuckles softly ] a.j . , your biological father , the curse of the quartermaines . he was just here . where 'd he go ? michael : uh , yeah . no , he , uh -- he was just -- um -- tracy : is this a hard question ? michael : no , it 's not a hard question . he 's -- we thought you 'd gone , so -- tracy : he left ? michael : yeah , he left . tracy : where 'd he go ? michael : i -- he went to an a.a. meeting . tracy : an a.a. meeting ? michael : yeah . he wants to stay sober and everything , so , you know -- tracy : right . michael : and it 's supposed to be anonymous , so i did n't think i should say anything . tracy : well , you 're right about that , but i do know about a.j . and his recovery . in fact , did he go to that meeting over , um , on spruce street -- that church on spruce street ? michael : yeah . yeah , he 's at that beautiful church down there . tracy : there is no church on spruce street . michael : spruce ? no , i thought you said , `` spring . `` he 's at spring street . tracy : wow . wow . for a guy with quartermaine genes , you are an appalling liar -- appalling ! he went to see lucy , did n't he ? michael : [ scoffs ] no . lucy : oh , hi . could you tell me why the doctor has -- a.j . : shh . shh . listen , we do n't have much time . lucy : a.j . ! a.j . : i came here to warn you . lucy : what are you doing here ? a.j . : tracy is trying to stab me in the back because she does not believe in vampires . lucy : oh , and you do ? a.j . : yeah . yeah , i do . carly : i want to believe in you . i want to believe in us . say you were n't crazy . todd : is n't it a little crazy -- to be with you , keep myself from you ? is n't it a little crazy to -- not be able to trust you ? [ voice breaking ] not be able to tell you my truth ? that 's crazy , right ? i 'm guilty of that . judge horowitz : mr. manning , are you changing your plea ? todd : no . i 'm a crazy person . i 'd like to plead not guilty by reason of insanity . that 's good ! spinelli : i did n't mean for this to happen . maxie : but it did , and i understand . spinelli : maxie , i -- maxie : please , spinelli . can you just -- go ? britt : maxie ? meet me in the exam room in five minutes . i 'm going to get your test results . lulu : that 's blood , right ? dante : uh , yup . lulu : and the warden confirmed that my dad was in this room when the riot broke out . dante : yes , yes . okay , yes . this was the last place there was a record of him being . lulu : so , could that be his blood and that 's why they 're not telling us anything ? dante : i do n't know , baby , okay ? i will go to the warden again , and i will squeeze the information out of him if i have to . warden : mr. falconeri ? dante : yeah , that 's right , and this is luke spencer 's daughter , my wife . warden : i apologize for the delay . we have had difficulty . lulu : do you know where my father is ? warden : yes , i do . tracy : i wish my father was alive to set you straight . he would explain to you that a.j . is fundamentally incompetent . that 's why my father never promoted him beyond v.p . in charge of paper clips . michael : okay , you know , but maybe if he did , a.j . could have proven himself . if somebody would have believed in him , maybe he would n't have screwed up as bad as he did . tracy : you know , you sound like jason before the accident . jason was a.j . 's biggest champion , and look where that got him . anyway , it 's moot . even if he gets in to see lucy , it 's not gon na change a thing . michael : are you sure ? tracy : [ laughs ] yeah . i was in the courtroom . lucy is seeing vampires . she is one episode away from a straitjacket . michael : okay , and all you can do is cheat her out of everything that you promised her ? tracy : and you think a.j . 's gon na treat her any different ? a.j . : tracy is taking advantage of you , lucy . she has got a whole fleet of attorneys that are working on ousting you from elq . lucy : she ca n't do that ! a.j . : well , actually , she can do that because there 's a sanity clause in the charter . lucy : oh , my god . i am not insane . i am just trying to prevent port charles from being taken over by caleb and his coven ! a.j . : lucy , i 'll do whatever i can to help you . lucy : okay . what 's the catch ? a.j . : it 's simple . the catch is that you have to -- you have to convince tracy that you 're not this feeble - minded , weak , crazy person . lucy : oh , my god . i am not ! these doctors here will vouch for me . a.j . : i know . i know . but listen to me . time is not on your side . you need to take back your share of elq and sign it over to me before she -- she strips you of your salary and your title , and she 'll do that before a doctor can even issue an opinion . look , i got it right here , right ? all you got to do is sign this right here and you and i will be partners . we 'll run elq , and we 'll stamp out caleb and his posse of bloodsuckers . go ahead . sign it . judge horowitz : step down , mr. manning . [ bangs gavel ] sit down , mr. manning ! todd : i 'm sorry . carly : i 'm sorry , too . i 'm sorry you 're not the man i thought you were . mcbain : [ inhales deeply ] mmmmmmm . oh , boy . you want to know the best part ? you did this to yourself . diane : you sure you 're doing the right thing ? todd : no . but , you know , the right thing has always -- has always been just outside my reach . you score little victories every day . warden : we have had difficulty confirming the information on mr. spencer . dante : okay . well , please just tell us what you do know . luke was in this room when the riot started , and then what ? lulu : is that his blood ? warden : i am very sorry . your father was shot . lulu : oh , my god . are you gon na tell me that my father 's dead ? britt : [ sighs ] maxie : so ? will you do it ? will you pop another one of dante and lulu 's little embryos in me ? britt : maxie , i - i 'm sorry . i ca n't . maxie : i thought you understood . i am trying to spare my best friend . why make her suffer when i can be pregnant before she even gets back ? britt : it 's not that i 'm unwilling to do the procedure . maxie : then what is your problem ? britt : maxie , you 're already pregnant . spinelli : [ sighs ] are you ready for the perfect gift ? ellie : is it champagne ? spinelli : no , no . it 's a special collector 's edition of `` 2001 : a space odyssey . `` why -- i 'm sorry . is there a reason you wanted champagne ? ellie : mm - hmm ! because of this ! spinelli : oh , my -- ellie : look ! carly : thanks . well , congratulations on the win . mcbain : no one wins these things . carly : well -- todd lied in court . i 've done it myself quite a few times . you think it 's gon na work ? mcbain : even if he walks , he lost you . all the suffering he caused other people -- now it 's his turn . campbell : your honor , mr. manning is clearly lying to the court . diane : your honor , i object . my client has a document -- judge horowitz : overruled . diane : your honor , my client has given you his full cooperation -- judge horowitz : i 've made my decision , ms . miller . given the defendant 's history , i 'm remanding mr. manning to the ferncliff institute for the criminally insane for a full psychiatric evaluation . we 'll reconvene when the doctors present their findings . [ bangs gavel ] diane : congratulations . you got what you wanted . todd : i did n't get anything i want . at least i 'm not going to prison . diane : not for the time being . of course , it will depend on the doctors . todd : please . [ chuckles ] i could fool a doctor in my sleep . diane : i do n't know where you were treated before , but i got to warn you , ferncliff 's no picnic . lucy : [ sighs ] a.j . : lucy , please sign the document . we need to work on elq and the vampire king . once you break the deadlock in my favor , i can get tracy out of there and i can put all of elq 's resources behind you and help you . ms. coe , the doctor and your attorney are ready for you . lucy : thank you . okay . just a second . i ca n't . i ca n't do it right now . i 've got to get released out of here . i ca n't deal with this right now , a.j . thank you . a.j . : lucy , i can help you , but you got to help me ! [ sighs ] tracy : a.j . will promise lucy the moon to get her to back him , but it wo n't work . she 's too far gone . michael : you ca n't be sure . maybe she 's only crazy on the subject of vampires . tracy : i have a judge as a witness . anything lucy signs will get thrown out of court . a.j . is wasting his time . no one in that madhouse can help him . a.j . : damn it . lucy was my last hope for elq . heather : not necessarily .

dante and lulu are in turkey looking for luke . lulu sees blood on the wall in the room where luke was last seen . a man comes in and confirms that the blood is luke 's . maxie tells britt that she could n't tell dante and lulu about the miscarriage . she asks her to implant another embryo . britt does n't want to lie to dante and lulu , but she runs a test to determine if it is possible . ellie is worried that she will never regain the use of her legs , but she feels something when patrick examines her . patrick says he was n't touching her at that moment . she concedes that she must have imagined it . he tells her not to lose hope . spinelli is on his way to get something for ellie from the trunk of his car when he runs into maxie . maxie asks him if he has n't called her because of ellie 's condition , since they slept together and he said they were meant to be together before ellie got hurt . he tells her that he said that when he thought ellie had rejected him , but that was n't the case and they are back together now . she concludes that he is choosing ellie over her again . he says he will always love her , but that she is correct . britt asks maxie to go into the exam room , where she informs her that she ca n't implant another embryo because she is already pregnant . spinelli returns to ellie 's room with a collector 's edition of `` 2001 : a space odyssey . `` she shows him that she can wiggle her toes .

<s>[INST] maxie : i 'm fine . lulu : are you sure ? how 's the baby ? can you feel any kicking ? maxie : i think it 's a little too soon for that . how 's your dad ? have you found him ? lulu : the american consulate finally got us permission to visit the prison , but people here are n't saying anything . it 's like my dad 's disappeared . maxie : well , stop worrying about me and concentrate on finding your dad . i 'll see you when you get back . lulu : but it could be a few more days . are you sure that you 're gon na be okay ? maxie : yes . i 've barely moved off the couch . lulu : i just feel bad being so far away from you and the baby . maxie : i got to go . my mom 's on the other line . lulu : okay . i 'm gon na call you later . dante : [ sighs ] lulu : hey . did you talk to the warden ? dante : yeah lulu : so , what did they say ? do they know where my dad is ? britt : how did dante and lulu take the news about the miscarriage ? maxie : they do n't know . i could n't tell them that i 'm not carrying their baby anymore . patrick : hey , you two . spinelli : hi . ellie : hi . patrick : ellie , how you feeling ? ellie : actually , i 'm a little bit worried . i know you told me that if i had n't regained any feeling or functionality within a week -- patrick : mm - hmm . ellie : -- that i probably never would . it 's been 6 1/2 days , and i ca n't feel anything . tracy : ned , i 'll call you back . a.j . : you just sharing the news that your new co - c.e.o . is cuckoo ? tracy : [ sighs ] lucy : ohh ! i do n't need a doctor ! i am not crazy ! i just wish someone would believe me . heather : i believe you . lucy : you do ? you believe me ? heather : of course . you 're every bit as sane as i am . judge horowitz : how do you plead , mr. manning ? todd : i am not guilty . diane : come on . your honor , at this time , i would like to request bail . i do not believe -- todd : the person who did those things is not me . carly : he 's gon na blame it all on heather webber . heather : i 'm sure this is all a misunderstanding . lucy : how -- how do you know that ? heather : just a feeling . lucy : well , thank you . finally , someone gets it . although i wonder if you 'd feel the same way if i told you that port charles is in grave danger from a vampire named caleb morley . diane : you have me on a very generous retainer to speak for you . that 's what i need you to let me do now , all right ? i need you to let me do my job . do n't say anything . just sit there . i 'm gon na do damage control . judge horowitz : mr. manning , you 're saying that someone else committed these crimes ? campbell : if i may , your honor ? mr. manning has maintained all along that the blame lies with his accomplice , heather webber . and while ms . webber may have helped him to switch the babies , she certainly did n't help to bribe a police officer or to try and escape . todd : i 'm not blaming heather , although it 's all completely her fault . judge horowitz : and who are you blaming , mr. manning ? dante : i got the warden to admit there was some kind of incident , an uprising , like your father said , but they said everything 's under control . lulu : and the gunshot that i heard ? dante : well , there were shots fired . i knew it . dante : this whole place is on lockdown . they 're trying to gather information . lulu : that 's what they told us yesterday . dante : i know , so i told the warden you got to throw me something today , now . otherwise , i 'm gon na go to the embassy . lulu : ahh . after all the times my dad 's been in prison for crimes he 's committed , what if the one time he 's innocent , he ca n't get out ? dante : look , who 's the one that 's telling me your father 's indestructible ? we will find him . lulu : [ sighs ] it 's not just my dad i 'm worried about . i 'm worried about maxie , too . maxie : i tried to tell them that i had a miscarriage . i even invited them over to my apartment and sat them down . britt : what stopped you ? maxie : fate . i 'm not kidding . it 's like the cosmos were saying , `` maxie , shut up , `` so i took it as a sign . britt : of what ? maxie : that i should n't tell them . then dante and lulu got a call , and now they 're out of the country , looking for her dad . britt : well , you 're gon na have to tell them about the miscarriage as soon as they get back . maxie : maybe not . patrick : ellie , just relax . close your eyes . let me know if you feel anything , okay ? ellie : [ gasps ] i felt that ! a.j . : you know , tracy , i just ca n't help but wonder what lucy 's little psychotic break does to your agreement . i mean , i know i 'm no attorney or anything , but -- i do n't know -- i think maybe her vote would be null and void . tracy : a.j . in front of your son ? what kind of an example are you setting , taking advantage of this poor woman 's condition ? oh , wait . i think the judge ordered a psych evaluation , and if i 'm not mistaken , in elq 's charter , there is a non compos mentis rider . a.j . : so , this is my aunt not taking advantage of that poor woman 's condition . nice . tracy : i am right about this . daddy put a insanity clause in the elq by - laws , which means i have the right to fire lucy . she can not be co - c.e.o . ca n't have a wacko running the company . a.j . : no ? what 's your excuse ? tracy : now that she has proven unfit , i remain in control of the company . a.j . : unless there 's a new vote . lucy : so , i tried to slay the vampire , but i do n't know if caleb was too strong . i do n't know what happened . but he just vanished , and i searched for years to try and find him , and , lo and behold , he ends up back in port charles at kelly 's diner . [ sighs ] heather : wow . i miss their blts . lucy : yeah . really good , right ? heather : yeah . lucy : i mean , anyway , i tried to stab him in the chest . i got him , but i must have missed his heart because he did not combust and he somehow survived the whole thing . heather : well , that must have been disappointing . lucy : yeah , very -- not to mention the fact that everybody is telling me , `` no , you 're mistaken . he 's not caleb morley . he 's human , he 's a cop , and his name is john mcbain . `` heather : wait . you think john mcbain is a vampire ? lucy : you know john mcbain ? heather : what you 're saying makes perfect sense . i 've always found him to be very cold and remote . lucy : well , duh ! he 's undead . you know what ? you are very , very lucky that he did not drink your blood . heather : well , maybe not literally , but once he sunk his teeth into my case , he would n't let go . campbell : your honor , we have eyewitnesses . we have a documented recording . so , if mr. manning is n't blaming heather webber -- todd : heather webber is guilty as hell -- diane : todd , sit down ! todd : -- because heather webber is crazy as hell ! only a crazy person would take somebody 's baby and give it to somebody else . only a crazy person would try and bribe a police officer or -- or try and run away from a hospital when there was a guard less than 10 feet away ! judge horowitz : get to the point , mr. manning ! todd : that is my point ! if you do crazy things , you 're a crazy person . i 'm pleading not guilty because i 'm insane . diane : your honor , i request at this time that my client be allowed to take the stand in his own defense . campbell : objection . your honor , this is an arraignment , not a trial . diane : these are very unique circumstances , your honor , and notwithstanding the da 's attempt to spit - polish his own career and railroad my client , we could save the taxpayers a great deal of time and expense . we would n't even need a trial if my client could simply be allowed to explain . campbell : why did n't he explain to the police ? diane : he tried , but neither of the arresting officers -- neither detective dante falconeri nor detective john mcbain , who happens to be present today in court -- were interested in listening to my client . they were n't interested in getting to the truth . that 's why we 're here today . may my client please be allowed to simply speak ? judge horowitz : very well . mr. manning , you may take the stand , but i caution you not to waste the court 's time . tracy : you do n't have the authority to call for a new vote . lucy sided with me -- before her breakdown -- so it 's a done deal . a.j . : i think the other shareholders might disagree with that . tracy : anybody who voted for me is not deluded enough to believe in you . a.j . : well , i think lucy 's the one who 's delusional . tracy : now that i can legally fire her , i remain in control of the company . it 's all mine . i do n't have to run around like a crazed chihuahua , trying to please her . michael , i am so sorry . i tried to make it clear to you that a.j . was gon na fail at this like he fails at everything . michael : okay , look -- if you were willing to make lucy your co - c.e.o . , why not give a.j . a chance ? tracy : well , `` a , `` because he 's incompetent , and , `` b , `` because i want to run the company by myself . i 'm gon na go call the lawyers now and tell them the sad news that our co - c.e.o . is insane . a.j . : okay , that evaluation is pending . tracy : well , actually , the judge remanded lucy to ferncliff after she tried to kill a man she claimed was a vampire in a courtroom full of witnesses . do n't hold your breath . michael : so , what are you thinking ? a.j . : [ sighs heavily ] i 'm thinking i need to get to lucy coe right now . heather : you really put a wooden stake in john mcbain 's chest ? lucy : yeah . yeah , i did . i just still ca n't figure out how i missed his heart . i - i - i got to be out of practice or something . heather : well , you still get an `` a `` for effort . lucy : well , thank you . do you really actually believe me ? heather : of course . you have honest eyes . lucy : oh . well , made all the more honest by my use of coecoe 's truth - in - beauty eye collection . heather : i love coecoe cosmetics . of course , they do n't sell them here . i am in desperate need of blush . you know what the blush is that i love the most ? whipped innocence . lucy : that 's it ! that whipped innocence is your perfect shade . i tell you what -- i will get you some at cost . heather : really ? you have an in at the company ? lucy : oh , yeah . you could say that . i just happen to be lucy coe , founder and president of coecoe cosmetics . heather : you are my hero ! you not only invented my favorite makeup , you saved alan quartermaine from that harpy monica . lucy : how do you know that ? heather : i was married to a `` q `` once . we 're practically sisters . lucy : who are you ? heather : heather webber . lucy : eww ! you 're heather webber ? ! you 're the one who took advantage of poor edward after mother quartermaine passed ? ! you tried to seduce him and then kill him to take his money ! heather : at least i waited till his wife died . you went after alan while monica still had a pulse . lucy : yeah ? ! well , that 's 'cause i -- loved him , sort of . i - i did . look , we stayed friends , and we had a slightly contentious divorce , but you -- you are a psycho . heather : takes one to know one . lucy : [ sighs heavily ] diane : your honor , my client , todd manning , suffers from severe p.t.s.d . , and , yes , there is precedent . when he was charged with the death of his brother -- his twin brother -- he was found not guilty by reason of insanity due to severe post - traumatic stress disorder , and this was sustained during eight years of imprisonment by his mother in a cell where he was systematically tortured -- todd : stop . diane , stop . stop . cut it out . look , i killed my mother . i killed my brother . i 've done terrible things . they 're all a matter of public record . that 's not what we 're here to talk about . when i do something terrible -- i always feel like it 's not -- really me who does the terrible things . it 's very hard for me to describe . i always have this voice in my head that tells me that i should n't do it , and is n't that the definition of insanity -- right -- having a voice inside my head ? i was in the woods -- in the middle of a storm with my ex - wife , and she 's having a baby -- my brother 's baby , my brother , who i killed -- and the baby dies in my arms . diane : it 's okay . just -- just take a moment . your honor , when -- when tea delgado 's baby died , my client was so traumatized that his stress disorder resurfaced . he did not want to cause tea delgado , his ex - wife , any further pain and suffering . tea delgado claimed the wrong baby from the start . there was no malicious intent on the part of todd manning to baby - switch . campbell : excuse me . am i hearing this correctly ? are you saying the switch happened by accident ? diane : your honor , if i may be allowed to continue ? judge horowitz : mr. campbell , i 'm granting ms . miller and her client a little leeway . that does n't mean we have a free - for - all . ms. miller ? diane : thank you , your honor . it was heather webber who took full , deliberate advantage of my client 's fragile mental condition , heather webber -- in order to pursue an aggressive agenda against samantha morgan , heather webber , who coerced my client into participating in switching the babies . campbell : your honor , heather webber is not being arraigned here . judge horowitz : yes , mr. campbell . we 're all aware of that fact . move it along , ms . miller . diane : your honor , when my client found himself imprisoned for a kidnapping he did not commit , trapped again in a jail cell as he had been for those eight long years by his mother , he snapped . his stress disorder resurfaced again . that is why he attempted to bribe detective mcbain . that is why he attempted to flee the hospital after being beaten half to death by his cellmate . he is in the grip of severe p.t.s.d . , your honor . he does not need more prison time . he needs psychiatric help . carly : i object ! ellie : whatever you just did , i felt it ! patrick : actually , ellie , i was n't touching you in that moment . ellie : you were n't ? patrick : no . spinelli : maybe it was a delayed reaction ? patrick : no . ellie : [ sighs ] i guess i just imagined it , then , or hoped i felt something . patrick : look , there 's still reason to be optimistic . sometimes it takes longer than a week to regain sensation . of course , we 'll keep an eye on you . we just got to continue to be patient . [ pager beeps ] patrick : and if there 's any other questions that you have , we 'll get a prognosis as soon as we can , okay ? ellie : okay . patrick : okay . spinelli : dr. drake is an excellent surgeon . ellie : i know . spinelli : he would n't give you false hope . ellie : [ sighs ] do n't worry . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na cry . [ sighs ] i mean , i 'm just lucky to be alive , right ? and i have you . and i 'm not -- not -- gon na feel sorry for myself . [ crying ] maxie : ellie trout told me there are still two embryos left . britt : yes . that 's standard practice , just in case the couple wants to try again . maxie : okay . so , could n't you just , like , slip me another one and then by the time dante and lulu are back , i 'm pregnant again and they never know i lost the first baby ? dante : what 's wrong with maxie ? what did she say on the phone ? lulu : what she always says -- that she 's fine . but i know her . she 's my best friend , and i feel like she 's keeping something from me . dante : well , we are both really nervous about the baby . lulu : i 'm the one that 's nervous , and i know that i have a tendency to overreact , but she keeps finding excuses to get off the phone with me . dante : great ! that 's good ! you 're calling long - distance from turkey . she 's saving us some money . lulu : what about what happened before we left ? she called us over , and she was gon na tell us something . dante : yeah , well , she also said that it was n't urgent . lulu : but that 's because my dad called from here and we heard a gunshot and then the line went dead . she knew that we were gon na go after him , and she 's not gon na hold us up , but i 'm starting to get the feeling that she was gon na tell us something big . maxie : [ sighs ] dante and lulu have already been through so much trying to have a family . why tell them that i lost the baby if we do n't have to ? britt : maxie , i ca n't withhold that kind of information . maxie : okay , but they can still have the baby that they want and they do n't have to blame me for the first miscarriage . britt : i told you there 's no way to pinpoint a cause . the embryo may not have been viable . maxie : or it 's because i fell chasing their dog . britt : it 's very unlikely . maxie : if dante and lulu find out , it could ruin our friendship , and they might not trust me enough to try again . please , dr. westbourne ? having a child means everything to them , and i do n't want to let them down . just make me pregnant again . need a good reason to change shampoo ? dante : maybe she wants to move -- she does n't like living with ellie anymore . lulu : yeah , i guess i could see that , because she 's in love with spinelli and living with his girlfriend would be hard , but if that was the problem , why would she have wanted you there ? dante : maybe 'cause she likes me and she values my opinions . lulu : mm . dante : look -- whatever it was , clearly , maxie thought it could keep . [ men shouting in distance ] spinelli : maxie ? maxie : spinelli , h - hi . spinelli : what are you doing here ? are you okay ? maxie : me ? yes , fine . spinelli : and the baby ? maxie : i 'm just here for some check - ups . it 's normal with the surrogacy . how 's ellie ? spinelli : still has n't regained any feeling in her legs . maxie : it 's been almost a week . does that mean she 's paralyzed ? spinelli : too soon to say , but we 're hopeful . maxie : yeah , yeah . you have to be . i would go see her if it was n't so awkward . i mean -- that 's why i have n't heard from you , right -- because we slept together ? spinelli : i 've been a bit preoccupied . maxie : well , 'cause you said that it was fate and we were supposed to be together , and i 'm just wondering if that 's why you have n't called me -- because of ellie 's condition . spinelli : no , maxie . it 's not . michael : why do you need to see lucy coe ? a.j . : if tracy 's gon na boot lucy out of elq , this might be just the incentive that we need for her to come over to my side . now , look -- i have to get to her before she 's declared incompetent -- get her to sign her shares over to me while she still can . michael : okay . well , are n't you basically doing the same thing tracy was doing -- taking advantage of lucy 's mental state ? a.j . : no , no , no . i 'm giving her options . listen , once she 's declared sane , i promise i 'll treat her fairly . look , michael , i 'm gon na need you to cover for me on this , okay ? michael : [ sighing ] how ? a.j . : tracy ca n't know what i 'm doing , all right ? she ca n't know where i 'm going . so , if she says anything , you need to make something up , all right ? michael : whoa . hold on a second , a.j . i 'm the world 's worst liar . ask anybody . tracy 's gon na see right through me . a.j . : michael , between your mother and me , it 's in your dna . trust me , kid -- you can handle this . tracy : ned , the lawyers are on it , and before you say anything , yes , lucy 's vote for me as c.e.o . still stands , even after she 's -- where 's a.j . ? lucy : apart from a great appreciation for quality cosmetics , you and i have nothing in common . heather : yeah , monica always said you were a pretentious little climber . well , that does n't work in here . you see , ferncliff is the greatest equalizer . everybody 's criminally insane . they 're just trying to make the most of it . lucy : well , just speak for yourself , 'cause those doctors are gon na tell that judge that he made a huge mistake in my case . heather : yeah . when you tell them how you tried to stab detective mcvampire with a wooden stake , you 're gon na be stuck in a cell with me . oh , we 'll be sharing some anti - aging cream from coecoe cosmetics when we 're 80 ! lucy : wow ! you are really even meaner than everybody said ! heather : oh , i 'm not mean . just honest . you 're gon na be committed , and when you realize you 're stuck here , you 're gon na need a friend . that would be me . carly : your honor , i know that mr. manning is not suffering from p.t.s.d . diane : your honor , this woman is not a psychiatrist . judge horowitz : i want to hear this . are you a psychiatrist ? carly : no , but i 've spent a good deal of time with mr. manning over the last few months . i 've had a chance to observe , and i know that he is in his right mind . todd : i 'm not . carly : so , you 're saying that nothing we had was real -- that the p.t.s.d . is the reason you said and did everything ? todd : no . that 's not what i 'm saying at all . carly : so , it just comes and goes ? todd : yeah . carly : you ca n't have it both ways , todd . you have to take responsibility for your choices , good or bad , right or wrong , or you have to deny it all , including me . todd : i , uh -- no , i - i know that what we had was real . i know that . i know that i was never more together than when i was with you . i fell in love with you , carly . i know that . carly : todd , you have to admit to what you did . and you have to trust me to stand by you . everyone lies . everyone makes mistakes . but you got to own what you did . dante : you 're gon na make yourself crazy with that . lulu : i just want to text maxie . dante : what are you gon na tell her ? lulu : i do n't know -- that i 'm worried ? dante : really ? 'cause she 's at home on a couch . you 're halfway around the world in a prison . you see the irony in that , right ? lulu : i know . at least it keeps my mind off my dad . is that blood ? spinelli : i allowed myself to fall into bed with you b - because i thought that ellie had rejected me , that we were over . but i was wrong . she had every intention of honoring our rendezvous on the roof , and until she was hit by a car -- maxie : but what happened to ellie is not your fault . spinelli : she was lying in agony on the side of the road while -- i was drinking myself into a stupor , convinced that her absence could only mean that -- you and i were meant to be together . maxie : well , right , 'cause that 's what you said -- that when things got their worst , we always found each other because we 're meant to be together . spinelli : but i was mistaken . ellie does want to be with me . and that 's why i 'm -- i 'm back with her . maxie : just until she 's better , right ? i mean , like , just until she can walk again ? spinelli : i mean , of course i could never leave her in this condition -- that 's true -- but -- i 'm staying with her because i want to be with her . maxie : and not me ? you 're choosing her -- again . just say that . spinelli : i love you , maxie . i always will . but that is correct . tracy : where 's a.j . ? michael : who ? tracy : [ chuckles softly ] a.j . , your biological father , the curse of the quartermaines . he was just here . where 'd he go ? michael : uh , yeah . no , he , uh -- he was just -- um -- tracy : is this a hard question ? michael : no , it 's not a hard question . he 's -- we thought you 'd gone , so -- tracy : he left ? michael : yeah , he left . tracy : where 'd he go ? michael : i -- he went to an a.a. meeting . tracy : an a.a. meeting ? michael : yeah . he wants to stay sober and everything , so , you know -- tracy : right . michael : and it 's supposed to be anonymous , so i did n't think i should say anything . tracy : well , you 're right about that , but i do know about a.j . and his recovery . in fact , did he go to that meeting over , um , on spruce street -- that church on spruce street ? michael : yeah . yeah , he 's at that beautiful church down there . tracy : there is no church on spruce street . michael : spruce ? no , i thought you said , `` spring . `` he 's at spring street . tracy : wow . wow . for a guy with quartermaine genes , you are an appalling liar -- appalling ! he went to see lucy , did n't he ? michael : [ scoffs ] no . lucy : oh , hi . could you tell me why the doctor has -- a.j . : shh . shh . listen , we do n't have much time . lucy : a.j . ! a.j . : i came here to warn you . lucy : what are you doing here ? a.j . : tracy is trying to stab me in the back because she does not believe in vampires . lucy : oh , and you do ? a.j . : yeah . yeah , i do . carly : i want to believe in you . i want to believe in us . say you were n't crazy . todd : is n't it a little crazy -- to be with you , keep myself from you ? is n't it a little crazy to -- not be able to trust you ? [ voice breaking ] not be able to tell you my truth ? that 's crazy , right ? i 'm guilty of that . judge horowitz : mr. manning , are you changing your plea ? todd : no . i 'm a crazy person . i 'd like to plead not guilty by reason of insanity . that 's good ! spinelli : i did n't mean for this to happen . maxie : but it did , and i understand . spinelli : maxie , i -- maxie : please , spinelli . can you just -- go ? britt : maxie ? meet me in the exam room in five minutes . i 'm going to get your test results . lulu : that 's blood , right ? dante : uh , yup . lulu : and the warden confirmed that my dad was in this room when the riot broke out . dante : yes , yes . okay , yes . this was the last place there was a record of him being . lulu : so , could that be his blood and that 's why they 're not telling us anything ? dante : i do n't know , baby , okay ? i will go to the warden again , and i will squeeze the information out of him if i have to . warden : mr. falconeri ? dante : yeah , that 's right , and this is luke spencer 's daughter , my wife . warden : i apologize for the delay . we have had difficulty . lulu : do you know where my father is ? warden : yes , i do . tracy : i wish my father was alive to set you straight . he would explain to you that a.j . is fundamentally incompetent . that 's why my father never promoted him beyond v.p . in charge of paper clips . michael : okay , you know , but maybe if he did , a.j . could have proven himself . if somebody would have believed in him , maybe he would n't have screwed up as bad as he did . tracy : you know , you sound like jason before the accident . jason was a.j . 's biggest champion , and look where that got him . anyway , it 's moot . even if he gets in to see lucy , it 's not gon na change a thing . michael : are you sure ? tracy : [ laughs ] yeah . i was in the courtroom . lucy is seeing vampires . she is one episode away from a straitjacket . michael : okay , and all you can do is cheat her out of everything that you promised her ? tracy : and you think a.j . 's gon na treat her any different ? a.j . : tracy is taking advantage of you , lucy . she has got a whole fleet of attorneys that are working on ousting you from elq . lucy : she ca n't do that ! a.j . : well , actually , she can do that because there 's a sanity clause in the charter . lucy : oh , my god . i am not insane . i am just trying to prevent port charles from being taken over by caleb and his coven ! a.j . : lucy , i 'll do whatever i can to help you . lucy : okay . what 's the catch ? a.j . : it 's simple . the catch is that you have to -- you have to convince tracy that you 're not this feeble - minded , weak , crazy person . lucy : oh , my god . i am not ! these doctors here will vouch for me . a.j . : i know . i know . but listen to me . time is not on your side . you need to take back your share of elq and sign it over to me before she -- she strips you of your salary and your title , and she 'll do that before a doctor can even issue an opinion . look , i got it right here , right ? all you got to do is sign this right here and you and i will be partners . we 'll run elq , and we 'll stamp out caleb and his posse of bloodsuckers . go ahead . sign it . judge horowitz : step down , mr. manning .
