Ava reads in the paper about the fire at Alexis' house. Julian tells her that a bomb caused it and that it was a message from Mickey Diamond. Julian wants Ava to find the tape proving Sonny shot AJ. Carly wants to know where Franco was last night. She assumes he went to Michael again to rat out Sonny. He says he didn't and that anyway, Michael hates him and wouldn't believe him without proof, like that recording. He says if she has a copy of the recording, she should get rid of it before someone, like Michael, hears it. She reveals that it's locked in her email and that she is never giving it up. She asks him again where he was last night. He says he went to visit Nina Clay. Spencer is hiding out with Josslyn at Carly's house. Spencer tells Josslyn that he wants a mother and that he wishes his dad would marry Britt. Britt tells Brad that what her scheme with Spencer is doing to Nikolas is killing her and that she wants to tell him the truth. When she goes out, Franco opens Carly's laptop. Spencer watches him from the staircase. Anna tells Dante that Julian shot Mickey Diamond, but to maintain Jordan's cover, they are putting forth the story that Jordan shot him in self-defense. She reveals that Jordan said the big boss sounded like Luke Spencer. She tells Dante to clear Luke so they can focus on finding the real boss. Julian makes a video call to Fluke and blasts him for bombing Alexis' house and for putting cocaine laced with heroin in the streets. Fluke says Julian didn't have to shoot Mickey and leave him brain-dead. He says Julian may have resolved his problem with Mickey, but his problem with him isn't going anywhere because he has an army of Mickey Diamonds. He says he would be willing to call a truce with Julian if he shares the information he has about Sonny. Julian says no and tells Fluke that he had better stop lacing the coke with heroin if he ever wants to get the information. When Julian leaves, Ava places a video call to the person Julian just called without enabling the video until she sees who the mystery person is. Tracy snatches Mikey's lab results from Brad's hands and reads that Mickey is B-positive like Alice. Elizabeth points out that it is irrelevant if Mickey isn't a donor. She says Mickey's identification is most likely in police custody. Dante asks Tracy about Luke. She tells him that she had her marriage to Luke annulled and that she doesn't know where he is. Dante relays the information to Anna. Tracy calls Fluke and warns him that Dante is looking for him. Elizabeth tells Tracy that she found Mickey Diamond's driver's license and he is not a donor.
Franco: Is that for me? That's thoughtful. Josslyn: Get your own, greedy. Franco: Right. I'm greedy. You have two bowls of cereal. Josslyn: And I need them both. Franco: Fine. Like I can't pour my own cereal. Josslyn: You could... if there was any left. Hey, mom! Carly: Hey, baby. Hey. Franco: Hey. Carly: What are you up to? Franco: Me? Quietly starving to death. Carly: Huh. Franco: What? Carly: "What?" What happened to you last night? Ava: I'm reading that Alexis' house burned down last night. Is everybody all right? Julian: Well, Alexis and her daughters lost their home, so "all right" would be stretching it, but no one was hurt. Ava: And according to your paper, an unnamed source inside the P.C.P.D. Claims that the fire may have been caused by a bomb. Julian: No "maybe" about it. There was a bomb -- a message from Mickey diamond. Anna: All right. All findings -- evidence, prints, test results -- they all come to me directly. No copies are to be sent to any other parties without my direct permission. Are we clear? Yeah? Okay. Get to it. Thanks. Dante: Hey. Dispatch said you wanted to see me? Anna: I need to talk to you about something. First, I want to know where are Detective West and the task force in searching for Spencer Cassadine. Dante: We got people at the airport, the train station, the bus depot, though I don't think this kid's gonna be riding a bus. Anna: Well, good point, but better to err on the side of caution. Dante: Yeah. Also checking out malls, parks -- you know, usual places a kid might hide out. Anna: Spencer's not a usual kid. Where's he gone to? Nikolas: Thank you for asking, but there's nothing new to report. Elizabeth: Well, I would have called the house earlier, but I thought you'd still be out searching. Nikolas: I was -- all night long. I searched every room in the house, every tunnel in the catacombs, the stables, the rest of the island. There's no sign that Spencer ever came back. Elizabeth: Okay, Nikolas. You shouldn't be dealing with this alone. I'm gonna get somebody to cover for me, and I'll be there in 20 minutes, okay? It's okay. There's -- there's nothing that you can do. And it's all right. I'm not alone. Britt's here. Britt: Spencer, it's Britt. Spencer: Hi, Britt. Britt: Hi. How are you? Are -- are you okay? Spencer: I'm great! What about you? Are you back together with my dad yet? Britt: No. Uh, not yet. That's gonna take some time. Spencer: What's the holdup? I can't hide forever. Britt: I know. Spencer: I don't think you do know. I miss my stuff. I miss my pony and my driver. I even miss Alfred ignoring all my orders. Most of all, I miss my dad. Britt: He misses you, too. Spencer: I'm making sacrifices here. You need to take advantage of this time. Britt: Don't you think I know that? I'm doing the best I can, so don't boss me around. Nikolas: Britt? Who are you talking to? Nikolas: Britt... who are you on the phone with? Britt: My brother, uh, Nathan -- Detective West. Nikolas: Of course. It's just you sounded a little harsh on the phone. You always speak to him that way? Britt: Guess I've taken to the role of big sister faster than I thought. I'm wound pretty tight about Spencer, and I-I unloaded on Nathan because he hasn't done enough to find him. Nikolas: Thank you. Thank you for fighting for my son. Britt: Oh, I'm not sure an irrational attack on my brother qualifies as fighting for Spencer, but -- Nikolas: No. You've been here all night, basically holding me together, and it really does mean everything to me. I don't know what I would do without you right now. Tracy: Elizabeth, I need a word. I already spoke to, uh, nurse DuBois, but he was clueless. Elizabeth: Well, if Felix couldn't help you, I doubt I'll be able to. Tracy: I need the bloodwork on a criminal that was admitted last night. Elizabeth: Mr. Diamond? I'm sorry. I can't release patient information to a non-relative. Tracy: Well, Mr. Diamond may not be family, but Alice Gunderson is, and she's dying. She needs a new heart. And if that brain-dead criminal is a match, he can supply her one. Elizabeth: I understand the urgency of the situation. However, the rules are very clear. Tracy: I am not asking for a full medical report. I just want to know his blood type so I know whether or not to pursue this. Elizabeth: Even if HIPAA allowed me to disclose that information, Mr. Diamond's test results are not back yet. Tracy: Oh. Well, when might that be? Brad: Webber, where do you want the labs on that Mickey diamond guy? Ava: First your mysterious boss has Lucas shot. Then he delivers a bomb to Alexis' house. If he keeps trying, third time might be the charm. Julian: There won't be a third time. Ava: Still... you need to be careful. Julian: Do you have something constructive to add? Otherwise, I'm busy. Ava: Just trying to help. Julian: Is that how you describe the message you left me last night -- that I shouldn't be a hero because I'm all that stands between you and Sonny's bullet? Ava: I'm concerned for you, Julian. As it happens, I'm concerned for me, too. Julian: I have this under control. Mickey won't be an issue. Ava: What does that mean? Julian: You know, for a woman with a price on her head, you sure do ask a lot of questions. Why don't you just concentrate on keeping yourself alive? Ava: Believe me -- it's all I think about. Julian: Well, then, you should worry about getting a copy of that recording that proves Sonny murdered AJ Quartermaine. Franco: I don't know what you're talking about. I was here last night. Carly: Hey, you left the hotel long before I did. You said you were coming home. Somehow, I beat you here? Franco: You're right. That's weird. Coffee? Josslyn said she ate all the cereal. Carly: Why are you avoiding the question? Ava: I know that Carly found that recording that AJ Made the night he died. Franco: Right -- the one that proves that you killed Connie Falconeri? That one? Ava: I am much more interested in the part of the recording when Sonny killed AJ Franco: Yeah, I bet that you are. Ava: I need that recording. Carly: Where were you last night? Ava: I'm exploring a means of getting a copy of that recording. Julian: Well, explore faster. I've gotten used to living here alone. My patience for cohabitation is wearing thin. Ava: Must you be so petty? We're on the same side. Julian: Only when it's convenient for you. Ava: This will work to your advantage, as well, Julian. Julian: It hasn't so far. You already betrayed me once. Ava: I apologized. Julian: And you think that was enough? You think I'd welcome the prodigal's return now that you're out of friends and Sonny's painted a big red target on your back? [Sighs] You had your chance, Ava. You screwed me over to cozy up to Corinthos, father and son, so you can forget about this sibling bond. You're a means to an end -- nothing more. Ava: Thanks for clarifying. Excuse me. I have work to do. Anna: So, I'm running this Mickey diamond investigation, but I can't be in two places at once, and I need to be certain that west and his task force are doing everything possible to locate Spencer. Dante: Look, we're gonna find this kid. Remember what he did at the nurses' ball? He's larger than life. He can't hide for very long. Anna: God, I hope you're right -- for his sake and his father's. Dante: So, what the hell happened here? Why -- why are you running the show? Anna: Because of Julian Jerome. Luke: Aren't you a sight for sore eyes? Julian: Wish I could say the same. Luke: [Chuckles] Tracy: Who says the G.H. Lab can't be efficient and prompt on occasion? Brad: Whoa! Watch the hands, grabby! Tracy: Can I see that? Elizabeth: Come on, Tracy. Those are private medical records. Tracy: I am on the board. I can have the two of you dismissed with one word -- with prejudice. Brad: You want to look at these labs? Take it up with boss lady. Tracy: She's behind closed doors with the hospital attorneys dealing with the fallout from that teenage druggie's death. Brad: You did not just say that. Tracy: Oh, I am so sorry if I'm less than tactful. I'm saving a good friend's life. Elizabeth: Okay, look -- I might be able to get Dr. Obrecht a message. If you would like to go wait in her office, you're more than welcome to do that, or go sit with Alice in her room. Either way, I will come find you when I hear something. Does that sound reasonable? Tracy: You know, there was a time when the Quartermaine name meant something. Clearly, that is no longer the case and I will be forced to wait for that foolish woman to make time to see me. Elizabeth: Well -- Tracy: Next time, save me the trouble and give me what I want! Dante: Is Jordan's cover blown? Anna: It would have been if Mickey had survived, but before he could expose Jordan, Julian arrived and shot him. Dante: In retaliation for bombing Alexis' house? Nina: Well, yeah. I mean, we're facilitating the story that Jordan shot Mickey in self-defense to preserve her cover. Otherwise, I'd be forced to arrest Julian. Dante: That's great. Isn't that what you want? Anna: Yeah, so badly, I can taste it -- but not until we have his boss. Dante: Okay. Well, I'll help any way I can, even if it means I have to botch someone else's Miranda rights. Anna: I'm hoping that we can pull this off without fabricating any other black marks against your record. But list -- Jordan spoke to Julian's boss on the phone. Dante: Did she get anything? Anna: She thinks she recognized his voice -- Luke Spencer. Luke: Julian Jerome. Mm-mm-mm-mmm. It's been a dog's age. Can't you at least roll over, maybe do a little happy bark for your benevolent master? Julian: After you had Alexis' house bombed? Luke: Did I? Julian: You know, maybe you'd like a taste of your own medicine. I can burn down your whole operation. Luke: And burn yourself beyond recognition. Spare me the moral outrage. You knew damn well there would be consequences when you refused to be a team player. Julian: You never told me what you were doing with the drugs. Luke: I did you a favor, Jerome. With your delicate sensibilities, you didn't really want to know, now, did you? Julian: You nearly killed Alexis and my grandson. Luke: No one was hurt. You're making a big deal out of nothing. And there was no reason for you to turn around and whack poor old Mickey. Carly: I get anxious when people I care about say they'll end up in one place and then they're not there and they don't call and they don't text and -- Franco: You're right, and I'm soy. I just -- I ran into a friend. That's all. Carly: You don't have any friends. Franco: Yeah, I do. I have lots of friends. Carly: Name one. Franco: Kiki. I'm friends with Kiki. Carly: Okay. Were you with Kiki last night? Damn it, Franco. I know where you were last night. Britt: You don't have to thank me for being here and helping out. I love that little kid, even though he's acting like an outrageous brat for taking off on you like this. Nikolas: It's not his fault he ran away, okay? It's mine. Britt: That's not true. Nikolas: I'm his father. It's my responsibility. I've always known that he's been emotional, but I just dismissed it as a flair for the dramatic. If had been paying closer attention, if I had taken him seriously, I would have seen this coming and my son would be home safe right now. Britt: Nikolas, listen to me. You are a wonderful father. Nikolas: No! If I were a wonderful father, my son wouldn't have run away! Britt: Spencer is a willful little kid who thinks he got his heart broken. He just took off to lick his wounds. He'll be home soon. Nikolas: We know that's why he left, but we have no idea where he's at right now, and it's been days, Britt. What if he's -- what if he's hurt, you know? What if he's fallen and he's trapped and he's calling out and no one can hear him? Britt: But he's not! He'll be home before you know it! Nikolas: How can you be so certain of that? I don't -- Britt: I just am. Josslyn: I love corn puffs. No day can begin without a bowl. Delicious, right? Spencer: [Muffled] I couldn't agree more. Spencer: Have you got any muesli? Josslyn: What's that? Spencer: [Sighs] Just something they serve for breakfast in Europe. Josslyn: Next time you need to hide out from your dad, go to Europe instead. Spencer: Hey, I wasn't complaining. I'm deeply grateful to you for taking me in. Josslyn: You mean hiding you out? Spencer: [Sighs] I hope I'm not imposing. Josslyn: You're just lucky my mom's distracted by her loser boyfriend, or she would have found you already. Spencer: How long will she stay distracted? Josslyn: Hard to say. There are a lot of people in this house. Someone's gonna find you eventually. Plus, what about your dad? Isn't he worried about you? Spencer: I hope so. The more worried he is, the closer he'll get to Britt. Nikolas: I'm sorry. I can't keep leaning you like this. I'm sorry. Britt: It's okay. Nikolas: No. It's -- I'm not helping Spencer by wringing my hands here. I-I-I need to find out what Anna and the police are doing to track him down. Britt: I'll go with you. Nikolas: No. Please, you'd be helping me more if you stayed here in case he called or came back. Britt: If that's what you need. Nikolas: Yeah. I'll be back soon. Britt: Hey, Nikolas... uh, I'm -- I'm so sorry for what you're going through. You don't deserve this. Nikolas: Thank you. Tracy: B-positive. He's a match! Elizabeth: That's great news, but there are other factors -- Tracy: No "buts"! Alice and diamond share the same blood type, and he's got no drug use, which means he can donate his heart! He can save Alice! Elizabeth: Okay, but there are other factors that need to be addressed. Tracy: Such as? Elizabeth: Do you even know if Mr. Diamond is an organ donor? Dante: Jordan thinks my father-in-law is the kingpin of the Jordan mob? Anna: Yeah. She thought she recognized his voice. Dante: Oh. She knows him so well, she can make that call? Anna: Well, evidently, he has visited the Jerome gallery on several occasions to purchase art. Plus, she was at the nurses' ball when Luke sang and at those very public nuptials to Tracy. Dante: So what? I mean, maybe he sounds like the guy, but there's no proof. Anna: I don't know. Jordan seemed fairly certain. Dante: Come on. This is Luke Spencer we're talking about. He's a con man, a scam artist. He's never met a safe he couldn't crack or a card game he couldn't rig. He doesn't run drugs. Anna: Yeah. But he was involved with the mob. Dante: So what? Then he spent decades of his life running from frank smith. If he wanted to be in the business, he could knock on my father's door and Sonny would welcome him with open arms. Anna: Really? I wasn't aware that Sonny discussed his criminal personnel with you. Dante: Commissioner, look -- what I'm saying is this guy's made a conscious decision to not be a part of organized crime. If he didn't want to work with Sonny, why the hell would he go work with Julian Jerome? Anna: I don't know. Do you want me to run that by the D.E.A.? Yeah? "My lead detective, who happens to be the son of the biggest crime lord on the eastern seaboard -- he feels that Luke Spencer is squeaky clean. And, uh, myself, who -- you know, I was once involved with him -- I'm also fairly impartial." Dante: That sounds good. You should do it. Anna: Yeah, it's gonna fly. Look, if Jordan reports this, the D.E.A.'S gonna be all over Luke, and we are gonna spend time and resources tracking him when we should be going after the real target. Dante: All right. So, how do you want to handle this? Anna: I want you to do us all a favor and clear Luke's name, and then we can put Jordan's theory to bed. Julian: I have no idea what you're talking about. Luke: So, you're saying you didn't know that Mickey diamond was attacked in his hotel room last night, leaving him brain-dead, and that the shooter was reportedly your bitch, Jordan Ashford, and that the gun used was registered to you?! Julian: Wouldn't be the first time I had a weapon stolen used to commit a crime. Luke: [Sighs] You misdirect the cops all you want, Julian. They need things like witnesses and evidence. Me -- all I need is my gut and my instincts, both of which tell me that you are responsible for Mickey's sad plight. Julian: Well, who am I to argue with intuition, hmm? Luke: Good for you. You solved your problem with Mickey, but you have not solved your problem with me, and that problem is not going away, Julian. Franco: You know where I was last night? Carly: Yeah! You went to see Michael, didn't you?! Franco: No! Why would I go see Michael? Michael can't stand me. Carly: To tell him the same thing you tried to tell him before -- what Sonny did to AJ Franco: Carly, I promised you that I wouldn't tell him. Carly: Okay. Well, I'm sorry. You don't have a great track record for keeping your promises, and you've been lying to me since I came down the stairs. You won't tell me where you were last night, and you're talking about some nonexistent friend, and you tried to tell Michael before, so excuse me -- it's just a natural assumption for me here. Franco: Okay. If I had done, wouldn't you already have heard about it from Michael or from Sonny? Carly: I'm not asking Michael or Sonny! I'm asking you, Franco! Franco: Carly, I can honestly tell you that I did not see Michael last night. I have not seen Michael since you interrupted me in his office. Carly: I'm sorry. I'm sorry for accusing you, but this is my family we're talking about. It's the most important thing to me. Franco: I know that about you. Carly: Do you?! Franco: Yes. Carly: Do you?! Because we keep having the same conversation, and you keep telling me that you understand, but I already found you in Michael's office once, and you won't tell me where you were last night! Franco: Carly, you have nothing to worry about. I wouldn't tell Michael. Michael despises me. He wouldn't believe a word that came out of my mouth, especially if it had to do with Sonny. Carly: [Chuckles softly] Franco: Come on. I mean, if I were gonna tell him something about Sonny, I'd need some proof, right? I'd need, like, that recording -- you know, that recording that you held on to. Luke: What do you think I'm running here -- some kind of mom-and-pop operation? You think 'cause you got rid of Mickey, my hands are tied? You've deluded yourself. There's an army of Mickeys waiting for me to say the word. Julian: I'll send them. And if you or one of your lackeys lay a hand on anyone else I care about, you will regret it. Luke: Chill out, Jerome. Nobody wants more blood shed. It's bad for business, and it distracts us from the ultimate goal -- Sonny Corinthos' head on a spike. Julian: So, uh, are you asking for a truce? Luke: I might be receptive, given the right inspiration and motivation. Julian: Such as? Luke: Before Mickey's untimely brain-death, he informed me that you have come in to some information about Sonny Corinthos -- some information that could be very helpful to me -- a magic bullet, if you will. You share that information with me... you got your truce. Carly: What do you mean? Franco: AJ'S phone recording -- the one your oddball friend Spinelli -- he cleaned up the audio for. He e-mailed you a copy -- right? -- In case something happened to the flash drive. Carly: No, I know what you're talking about. I just don't know why you're talking about it. Franco: Well, a recording like that -- having it out there -- it seems kind of dangerous to me. I mean, what if it found its way into Michael's hands. What would happen then? I mean, I know that Sonny's not gonna give up his copy, right? Not as long as Ava's still alive. But you -- for your own safety, you should probably get rid of the copy you have, you know, assuming that you still have it. You do still have it? Tracy: What if he's not a donor? What do you do -- you turn off the machines and put him and his heart in the ground and Alice is out of luck? Elizabeth: A family member can give permission for an organ donation. Tracy: Oh. Well, then, I have to track down his family. Do you know if that's his real name? Elizabeth: However, if Mr. Diamond opted to be a donor, we don't have to go through his family. Tracy: Well, that's on his driver's license. That must be here in the hospital somewhere. Elizabeth: I can check, but given the situation, I'm gonna bet all of his belongings are with the police. Dante: Someone looking for a cop? Nikolas: I was told I'd find you here. Anna: Oh. I'm dealing with a crime scene. Nikolas: Yes, I was told that, too. What no one could tell me is why you're not out looking for my son. Explain to me, commissioner, how can the shooting of an organized crime figure take precedence over the recovery of a little boy? Spencer: Too bad your mom couldn't meet someone great like my mom met Britt. She's smart, funny, and way better at sports than cam's mom. Josslyn: You don't like cam's mom? Spencer: Well... my dad and cam's mom end up married, I'll be forced to be brothers with that townie and Aiden, too. Well, he's not much trouble, but still -- if I can't have Ben, I don't want a brother at all. Josslyn: I have two brothers, and they're awesome. But they're older than me. I don't know if I'd want a little brother. Spencer: What I really want is a mom. Josslyn: You don't have a mom? Spencer: Well, I did, but she died when I was born. Josslyn: That's not fair. Spencer: Not fair at all. She was the best person ever, but I never got to meet her. See? Josslyn: She's beautiful. Do you know what she was like? Spencer: No. Every time I ask my dad about her, he gets really sad, so I just stopped asking. I want my dad to be happy. He would be with Britt. He just has to give her a chance. Nikolas: So, what exactly is the P.C.P.D. Doing to find my son? Anna: I have redirected every available officer towards the task force that's searching for him. Nikolas: Then why are your people in there investigating the attack on some lowlife? Anna: But they're C.S.U. Techs. They're collecting evidence. Look, in regards to your son, the first thing I did when I got here to the hotel was I went over the footage that we had, you know, on the cab that picked him up. Nikolas: And? Anna: Unfortunately, we can't make an I.D. But we're trying to clean up the footage, and, hopefully, we'll get a lead, but I can't -- Nikolas: You're trying to clean up the footage? Hopefully, you're gonna get a lead? What actions are you taking in the meantime? Anna: Detective west is heading up a task force that is coordinating with the city's agencies. We have Spencer's photographs in all the public buildings, and we are conducting an exhaustive search. Nikolas: You're getting nowhere! You've got nothing! Britt Westbourne is accomplishing more than your police department. Brad: Let me get this straight -- you're playing marvel team-up with an 8-year-old to snag Nikolas? Britt: Okay, I don't know what marvel team-up is, but, yes, Spencer and I are working together. Brad: [Chuckles] Britt: Oh, I'm so glad you're amused. Brad: That is one ballsy move -- making a fake runaway of Spencer, enlisting your mom to keep Elizabeth underwater at work while Nikolas cries on your supportive shoulder. Then, at a moment of maximum payoff, you find Spencer, Nikolas is so grateful, he gives Elizabeth the old heave-ho, and -- boom! -- You and the prince are reunited, and it feels so good. Genius. Britt: I know. Brad: Why are you so miserable? Britt: Because I can't stand what it's doing to Nikolas. I have to tell him the truth. Dante: I'm not involved in the shooting investigation directly, so I don't know if the P.C.P.D. Has Mr. Diamond's driver's license or if it's still here at the hospital. Elizabeth: I will check with the nurse who admitted him. He should know what happened to Mr. Diamond's things. Tracy: Good. You do that. Elizabeth: I just spoke with Nikolas a little while ago. Is there really no lead on Spencer? Dante: Not yet. Anna: With all due respect, Nikolas, I am the police commissioner of Port Charles. That means my duty is to all the people in this city, not just one father, no matter how terrified you are. Nikolas: My son is lost. Do you understand? He could be injured, or worse, he could have been taken for ransom. I do a lot of business overseas. In a lot of countries, kidnapping is a lucrative enterprise. If a professional has him, he could be on the other side of the country by now! Anna: Do you have any reason to believe that he has been kidnapped? Nikolas: No. Anna: Has anyone contacted you? Nikolas: No. Anna: Then we are going to focus our efforts on finding a runaway. Now, Spencer is a very resourceful kid, but he has a limited skill set, so that's why I believe that he's taken refuge in a public building somewhere, so we are focusing all of our attention on the museums and -- Nikolas: What if that isn't enough? Anna: I know you're scared, believe me. I will keep you up to date on every step of the way. But we're not going to accomplish anything here, Nikolas. Nikolas: I-I could retrace his steps again. Anna: No. Nikolas: Anything. Anna: The best thing you can dos probably the hardest, which is you need to just go home and wait. Nikolas: But Spencer's all I've got. I can't lose him. Anna: I've been where you are. I understand the panic and the desperation. But you cannot let it get the better of you. Nikolas: I'm trying not to. Anna: Less than a year ago, you brought my daughter back to me. I promise you I am not going to rest until I can return the favor. Josslyn: I can't believe you're gonna miss the big water war at camp today. Spencer: I had a strategy all prepared -- concentrate your fire on the ones who want to stay dry. They'll run as soon as the first water balloon hits. Josslyn: They're all gonna hide by the crafts table. I'm gonna come in from the left flank and drench them. Spencer: Sounds like fun. Josslyn: Not too late to join me. Spencer: I can't. I have to keep my eye on the prize. Josslyn: I hope it works out and that you get the mom you want. Brad: You want to tell Nikolas the truth now, when your diabolical plan's finally getting someplace? Sheesh! Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! Britt: Yeah, because my plan is working too well. Nikolas is in agony. I remember when my mother took Ben, how I felt. I couldn't sleep. I could barely breathe. Now I am putting the man I supposedly love through the exact same hell? Why did I think this was a good idea? Brad: I...don't know what to tell you. Britt: How 'bout taking some responsibility? Brad: Me? What did I do? Britt: It was your bright idea to revert to the Britch. You said it was the way back in to Nikolas' heart. Brad: No one twisted your arm, all right? And, for the record, having Spencer run away -- not my idea. Britt: [Sighs] I know. Brad: [Sighs] [Sighs] If you really feel that bad, just go with your first impulse. Tell Nikolas the truth. Britt: Yeah, and give up on any hope for a reunion? Brad: You have to decide. How long can you torture Nikolas in the name of getting him back? Britt: [Sighs] I don't know what to do. Brad: To Britch or not to Britch -- that is the question. Carly: Well, of course I still have the recording. I have it locked in my e-mail. I mean, it's Ava confessing to killing Connie. There's no way I'm giving up an insurance policy like that. Franco: Right. That -- that'd be crazy. Carly: Yeah. Wait. Why are we even talking about this? Ava: You get me a copy of the recording, and I can remove Sonny as an obstacle in your relationship. Franco: I don't know. I don't -- I don't remember. Carly: I do remember. Yeah. It started when I asked you where you were last night, and you still haven't answered that question. So, let's try again. Franco: [Sighs] Carly: Okay? Where did you go after you left the hotel? Franco: I went to see Nina. I just popped in. Carly: Nina Clay? Franco: Yeah. Carly: From art therapy? Franco: And I didn't mention it to you 'cause the last time her name came up, you got jealous, and I didn't -- Carly: I wasn't jealous. Franco: Look, my mistake. I should have told you. So, there's no cereal, but I'm pretty sure there's bread, and I do make good toast. I'll make you breakfast. Dante: Look, I know you're worried about Alice, but I need to talk to Luke. Did he come back with you? Tracy: No. Dante: Is he aware of the situation with Alice? I mean, as far as I knew, he considers her a friend, right? Tracy: Obviously, you're not aware of what's going on. Dante: No. Aware of what? Tracy: I have been avoiding having this conversation with Lulu, but I guess there's no point in hiding it. I ended things with Luke. I've had our marriage annulled. Dante: I'm -- I'm sorry. I had no idea. I mean, the last Lulu and I heard was that you guys were on an extended honeymoon and -- Tracy: Well, things deteriorated rapidly. Details are personal. I don't want to go into it. Dante: Look, I still need to talk to Luke, though. Do you know where I could find him? Tracy: Oddly enough, I don't keep track of his whereabouts. Dante: Okay. Thanks for the update. Tracy: However, um... he has been known to make contact. He considers me his own personal atm. So, he will probably be hitting me up for money sooner or later. If he does... is there a message I can give him? Dante: Just, uh, tell him to call me as soon as he can. Luke: Give me this allegedly juicy bit of information about Sonny -- all is forgiven. Julian: Not on your life. Luke: Is there something wrong with the video conference? I couldn't possibly have heard you say, "not on your life." Julian: [Sighs] If I give up the information on Sonny, you may decide I'm more trouble than I'm worth, so I'll be keeping that information to myself -- for now. Luke: You wormy slab of maggot food. Julian: And you'll stop lacing the product with heroin, effective immediately. Luke: You don't give the orders, Julian. Julian: New day, new terms, new me. So, if you want what I have on Corinthos, you'll start treating me as an equal partner. When I'm reasonably satisfied that you've learned your place, I'll consider giving you the means to annihilate Corinthos. Comprende? Luke: You're making a very grave mistake. Julian: Well, I guess we'll see about that, won't we? Peace out, bitch! [Computer beeps] Josslyn: This is the lion. He shot his son, the bear. But that's because he didn't know that he was his son. Spencer: How could he not know? Josslyn: The bear's mom didn't tell either of them. Spencer: Why not? Josslyn: It's complicated. But the bear survives, and now he wants to arrest the lion, even though he really likes him. Spencer: [Scoffs] God. Your stuffed animals are bizarre. Josslyn: So is my family. Carly: Josslyn John Jacks, get down here right now or I'm leaving without you! Josslyn: [Sighs] Spencer: [Laughing] Your middle name is John? Josslyn: What's yours? Spencer: Stefan Nikolaevich. Josslyn: [Laughing] Then you've got no room to criticize. Carly: Josslyn, I mean it! Josslyn: I'm coming! I have to go. Whatever you do, stay here. Carly: Hey, do you think you could take Josslyn to camp? I have a staff meeting I forgot about. I'm gonna be late. Franco: I don't think that's a good idea. Josslyn and I together on a long car ride? Carly: It's not a long car ride -- 10 minutes, tops. Franco: I don't know what we would talk about. I don't know anything about corn. Carly: She's outgrowing that. Josslyn: I'm waiting. Carly: You're gonna continue to wait until I'm ready. Lose the attitude or there's no speedboat. Josslyn: We can leave whenever you're ready, mom. Carly: Mm-hmm. Hey. Keep up the good work. Franco: Thank you. I will. Carly: Bye. Franco: Bye. Carly: Come on. Franco: Have fun at camp, joss. Tracy: Luke, I just had the most unsettling conversation with your son-in-law. Dante is looking for you, and I get the distinct impression it's over something official. Get in touch soon. Well? Did your friend in admitting have anything to offer? Elizabeth: Yes. I-I was able to locate Mr. Diamond's driver's license, and... Tracy: Is he an organ donor? Elizabeth: He's not. Tracy: [Sighs] Britt: [Sighs] Just once -- just... Nikolas: What's Brad doing here? Brad: Not that I don't understand the hostility, but I didn't break in here. Britt: I asked Brad to come. I-I needed to talk to him about something. And now I need to talk to you. Nikolas: What about? Britt: Bringing Spencer home. Franco: Alone at last. Ava: Julian? Anna: Were you able to speak to Luke? Dante: Uh, no -- Tracy. Did you know that they had their marriage annulled? Anna: Oh, my God. Already? Dante: Yeah. She wouldn't get into details -- said it was personal -- but she was very clear the marriage is over and she has no idea where Luke is. Anna: Well, someone must. Luke: Having second thoughts, are we? Julian? Julian, enable the video. Ava: I'm not Julian.
