Nathan and Amy wait for the photographer to show up when Quinn shows up with Nina. Amy stops them from coming into the room and Quinn goes to check on the photographer. Nina wants to know why she cannot speak to Man Landers. Amy claims that it is part of the secret. Nina ends up getting into the room and recognizes Nathan's shoes. She catches him and Amy admits everything. Nina wants to do the exclusive because that way it can still remain a secret. Amy agrees. Dante shows up at Ava's room and tries to get her to talk. Ava isn't saying anything else. She feels she is suffering enough. Dante doesn't think that is how that works. Scott walks in and Dante leaves. Scott asks if Ava said anything about him. Ava promises that she isn't going to say anything about him involving his involvement. She also wants him to not come back. She is disfigured and he can't want her after all this or want to be around her. Scott wants to be there for Ava though. Ava doesn't want him to be though and Scott leaves. Outside, Bobbie runs into Dante and asks if Dante would just want to live his life with his family and move on from this Morgan mess. Dante would but Sonny isn't going to do that. Spencer shows up at Sonny's restaurant and wants to hire him to take a hit on Valentin. Sonny doesn't think he actually wants him to do that. If he did it he would regret it. Spencer doesn't think so. He wants revenge for his father. He hasn't been able to get it yet and no one will help him. Sonny believes that if he were to kill Valentin for him he would have the opposite of peace. Spencer hugs Sonny and cries and later the two eat dessert. Laura and Kevin show up and Sonny explains they talked things out. They take Spencer to Kelly's where Laura is going to send Spencer to a boarding school in Montana if he keeps running off. He is also going back to Lila's Kid's tomorrow but today he will help clean the porch. Meanwhile, Joss confronts Carly. If she decides to stay with Sonny then Joss isn't going to live with Carly. She will go live with Jax. She cannot live in the same house as Sonny after what he did. Joss storms out after Carly tries to take back the power. Carly goes to Sonny and tells him what has happened. She is going to get Joss and Sonny to make peace.
Nathan: What are why isn't the photographer here yet? Amy: He told you! Nathan: He told me 20 minutes! It's been way more than 20 minutes. Amy: He needed a lens -- a special lens! Nathan: Well, what, is he building it himself? W-what's he need it for? Amy: Because he has to photograph your whole face in shadow except for one blazing blue eye, and apparently, that requires a special lens. Nathan: All right, look. I want to see all the proofs, okay? And I want to make sure that you can't see my face. Amy: [Sighs] Fine. Done. Now relax. Yeah, right. I'll go see what's taking so long. Nina: What are you doing here? Amy: What are you doing here? [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Ava? How are you doing? Ava: The pleasantries aren't necessary. I know why you're here. Dante: I have some questions for you about your involvement in my brother's death. Ava: I've said everything I'm gonna say concerning Morgan. Dante: Oh. Well, I have new information. Ava: Yeah? What information? Dante: Well, you confessed to Sonny and Carly. Ava: You know, honestly... I can't remember what I said to Sonny and Carly. Dante: Oh. So, you're saying -- Ava: Nothin'. I'm saying nothin'. Not about this, not anymore, not ever. Dante: That's fine. Ava: Thank you. Goodbye. Dante: No, no no. I still got something I want to say to you. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Do you think it helped, letting Spencer talk to Alexis? Laura: I think it did, actually. I think she was able to get through to him a little bit. I think he understands now that Valentin's claim is legitimate and that he owns everything. Kevin: Well, that's progress. Laura: Yeah. But you know Spencer, though. He kept pressing Alexis to try to find some kind of a loophole. Kevin: [Laughs] Laura: I know. [Cell phone rings] Laura: Oh! That's his driver. Hello? Hey, did you drop him off at camp? He told you to take him where?! [SCENE_BREAK] Spencer: Thank you for making time to see me. I have a business matter to discuss with you. Sonny: What kind of business? Spencer: I want you to eliminate Valentin Cassadine. Sonny: Do you know what you're asking me to do? Spencer: Yes. I want you to track down that father-murdering, Wyndemere- stealing usurper and whack him. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Well, our trip to Puerto Rico, uh, turned out to be more than just business. Bobbie: What does that mean? Carly: Sonny and I decided that we're not getting a divorce. We're getting back together. Josslyn: How can you!? How can you ever go back to Sonny!? [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: Uh, you two know each other? Nina: Um, yeah, a bit. Uh, Amy, do you have business here? Amy: As a matter of fact, I do! I wear so many hats around Port Charles that I wind up knowing or at least meeting everyone. [Shouting] Even the lovely Nina Reeves, editor-in-chief of Crimson magazine. I can't believe you're here! Quinn: Uh, why are you shouting? Amy: Was I? [Chuckles] Quinn: Uh-huh. Amy: [Chuckles] Oh. I guess I'm just so excited to see Nina -- Ms. Reeves. Nina: Nina's fine. Amy: [Clears throat] I am such a big fan of your magazine. [Chuckles] Quinn: Well, then you'll be pleased to hear that I persuaded Nina to be here for the "Ask Man Landers" shoot. Nina: Wait, are you part of "Ask Man Landers"? Amy: Yes. And it's a closed shoot, so... Quinn: Well, it's not closed to Nina. I mean, Crimson wants to do a piece on the book. Amy: It does? Nina: Yes! Amy: You do? [Cell phone chimes] Quinn: Oh, no. I am so sorry. Laurent is a brilliant photographer, but he's having trouble finding exactly what he needs. And like all creative geniuses, he needs a little hand-holding. So I'll be right back. We'll start shooting ASAP. Nina: Okay. Amy: If you'd like to wait for Quinn to get back, I'm sure there are some refreshments nearby. Nina: I don't need refreshments, but I do need to know what's going on here. Amy: Isn't it obvious? [Chuckles] I'm doing a little something on the side. I don't see why you have to make such a big deal out of it. Nina: No, I'm fine. I'm -- I'm cool as a cucumber. You, on the other hand, are panicking. Why? Amy: I'll tell you, but not now. Now is bad. Instead, I'll come and straighten it all out in your office later. Nina: Okay, well, I am sure it'll become clear to me during the photo shoot, which Quinn said I can observe. Amy: Quinn was mistaken. Nina: Well, Quinn's in charge, not you. I'm gonna go find out what's going on. Step aside, please. Amy: Nina! Do not go in there! [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: What are you doing, Ava? You didn't want it to go this far. You didn't want to hurt Morgan. Ava: I'll say this one more time. I'm not admitting anything. Dante: [Sighs] Ava: Not to you, not to anybody. Dante: Damn it, I'm not trying to get a statement out of you! I'm trying to talk to you about my brother! W-what is it -- what do you believe in? Do you believe in God? I don't know. What -- what helps you sleep at night? Because I'm betting -- I'm betting you want redemption, be it with god or Kiki or yourself. What about the people Morgan loved? What about the closure we could all get if you were just honest about what you did, and you told the truth? That's all you got to do. Ava: Is that all? Dante: Yeah, that's all. Morgan would want you to own up to what you did. He'd want you to unburden yourself and everybody else, and maybe that way, he could get some peace. And I'm pretty sure that's what you want, deep down. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: [Inhales sharply] I take it he's not at camp. Laura: Far from it. He hasn't given up on this thing, and he's got a whole new approach. Kevin: What do you mean? Laura: [Sighs] Chandler called me from his car, which is parked out in front of Sonny's restaurant. Kevin: He went to see Sonny? Laura: Three guesses what that's about. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: You want me to "whack" someone? Spencer: Not "someone." Valentin. Take him out. Sonny: Hmm. Spencer: Hit, clip, pop, burn, and/or ice the guy. Sonny: Okay, come here. All right. Listen to me. There are different ways to deal with Valentin. Spencer: And I've exhausted all of them. My father's death has never been avenged. And adding insult to injury... Sonny: Mm-hmm? Spencer: ...Valentin still has the whole entire Cassadine estate and my birthright. This cannot stand. Sonny: I know you think this is a good solution, but I'm telling you right now... Spencer: It's the only solution. Valentin took my father from me, and that can never, ever be undone. He's taken my home. I want justice, I want peace, and I want all of this to end. Sonny: You see, you got to understand something, okay? This is what I'm talking about. If I grant you what you're asking... you're not gonna have peace. You're gonna have the opposite. [SCENE_BREAK] Josslyn: Please, please tell me I heard you wrong and you and that man -- Carly: "That man" is your stepfather. Josslyn: Yeah, and because of him, my real father can't come back here, where I live, to see me! So I'm begging you, Mom. Tell me you aren't back together with him. Carly: You didn't hear wrong. Sonny and I are back together. Josslyn: Well, I guess I should look on the bright side. At the rate you two break up and get back together again, your relationship should be toast by the weekend. Carly: I get that you're upset, Josslyn, and you have every right to be. Josslyn: Oh, thank you for your permission! Carly: But you don't get to disrespect me! Bobbie: Okay. I am going back to the hospital. But before I do, let me remind you, Josslyn, that your mother loves you very much. And one day, when you look back on this conversation many years from now, you're going to realize that you didn't know as much as you think you did. Carly: I realize that this comes as a shock to you, okay? Josslyn: [Laughing] Oh, no. That's just it, mom. The second you went off to Puerto Rico with Sonny, I knew this would happen -- no matter how many times I prayed it wouldn't. Carly: I'm sorry you feel this way. Josslyn: Are you? Because if you were really sorry... you wouldn't be with Sonny. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: I don't know what's going on with you, but I'm caring less and less with each passing moment. Amy: [Scoffs] I happen to be "Ask Man Landers'" manager. [Sighs] Nina: Okay. You're a manager? Fine, let's go with that. Amy: [Sighs] Nina: Um...okay, so you're a manager. Want to earn your 10%? Listen and agree. Amy: Can we please just discuss this later? Nina: Quinn and I do favors for each other all the time, and we're willing to give "Ask Man Landers" a feature in crimson. Amy: The answer is no! Nina: I'm just gonna "Ask Man Landers" myself. Amy: [Grunts] [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: Of course, I want Morgan to be at peace. He was a beautiful, very troubled soul. I'm sure you know that as well as anybody. But now, the chaos and the turmoil that he felt -- that's over for him, don't you think? And his agony and guilt is gone, and...he is at peace. Dante: [Inhales deeply] That's a very convenient belief you got there. Ava: You know, I never thought too much about faith... or religion. I had a conversation recently with one of my doctors, Dr. Munro. He got me thinking about the future, penance, making things right. And I realized something. I realized that I am living in purgatory right now with all of this pain and fear and despair. And it's never gonna end. Dante: So you see this as your penance? Ava: I see it as my fate. And I'm not gonna let you or anybody else punish me more than this. Dante: So, what about all the people Morgan loved? You're just gonna leave us all hanging? Ava: When the air... touches my skin... it's excruciating. When you know how that feels, then you can talk to me about leaving you hanging. In the meantime, and for the last time, I got nothing more to say. Dante: [Whispering] It's all crap. It's all crap. All this remorse you say you got, it's all crap. If you were truly remorseful, you'd own up to what you did to Morgan, and you'd pay your debt to society, but you will not. You know why? Do you know why? Because you're a coward. You're afraid. You're afraid to face up to the consequences of your actions because you are a coward. [Door opens] Scott: Am I interrupting something? Dante: No, we're done here. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Okay, Spencer, listen. When I... when I was a little older than you are... I did some things that weren't right, and I continued to do them over the years. Spencer: But now look at you! Sonny: No, that's not...that... I did some things that I shouldn't have done that I can't get into with you. You're too little. Uh, but every time you do something, it costs you. And I don't want anything to cost you. I don't want you to have to pay for anything. Spencer: But this isn't like that. Sonny: Yeah, it's like that! If -- if -- if you're gonna commit to something like you're asking me to do... there's no turning back. That's who -- that's who you are now... forever. And -- and I've had to live like that. I don't want you to. Spencer: But that's not fair. Valentin took something I love. And if I want to avenge my father's death by taking something that was already mine... I don't know what the problem is. Sonny: Nobody understands that more than -- than I do. Spencer: Then why won't you help me? Sonny: [Chuckles] Come here. Because if I help you, I would not be able to live with myself. And you know what? I don't think you'd be able to live with yourself, either. [SCENE_BREAK] Josslyn: Clearly, nothing I want matters. How I feel doesn't matter. Carly: Of course, it matters, Josslyn, but it's not an excuse for bad choices like having a party and drinking with a boy! Josslyn: Oh, my God. One boy! One very nice, respectful boy! Meanwhile, you're running off to an island with the man who has hurt me more than anyone ever has, and you have the nerve to come home and punish me? You're a hypocrite! Carly: Hold on! I'm your mother, okay? And you don't get to talk to me like that! Josslyn: Why not? Before you went down there, you told me over and over again that you were never going back to Sonny. But I knew you would, and you did! You can't stay away from him, no matter how many times he hurts you! Carly: Sonny -- my life, my... it's complicated, Josslyn. It's -- it's really complicated. Josslyn: Oh, is that shorthand for "Sonny's a criminal, but I'm going to marry him anyway"? Mom, why are you going back to him? Why!? Carly: I told you. It's...it-- Josslyn: [Voice breaking] No, I don't care how complicated it is! I want to know why! Carly: Okay. I'll tell you. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: This room is empty. Amy: Well, of course it is! You heard Quinn. The so-called professional photographer can't find his camera lens. Nina: There's no one in here. Amy: Exactly. No one's here, which means there's nothing to see. [Chuckles] You can go. Nina: Why'd you try so hard to keep me out of the room? Amy: How about we talk about this later? You can pitch Crimson's feature on "Ask Man Landers," and I'll decide if we're interested. I'll call your people. [Chuckles] Nina: Right. Amy: [Chuckles] Nina: Oh, my God. Amy: What? [Chuckles] Don't stop. Keep going! It's time to go! Nina: I gave a pair of those custom-made shoes to... ...my brother. [SCENE_BREAK] Scott: Ava? Ava: I told you not to come back. Scott: I didn't think you meant it. Ava: I did. Scott: Well, I wanted to see how you are. How are you? Ava: In constant pain and permanently disfigured. How are you? Scott: I'm really sorry. Really sorry. Ava: So am I. Scott: What did Dante want? Ava: What do you think? He wanted me to confess to tampering with Morgan's medication. Scott: You didn't sell me down the river, right? Ava: This is me you're talking to. After everything that we've been through, you think that I would give you up? Scott: Of course not. Did you? [SCENE_BREAK] Spencer: Uncle Sonny, I truly am disappointed in you. Sonny: Well, you know, I'm gonna have to live with you being disappointed in me 'cause I'm not gonna change my mind. Spencer: If you did this favor for me, I would be eternally grateful. I-I'd finally be able to sleep peacefully. Sonny: No, you wouldn't. Spencer: And my father -- he'd be -- Sonny: Your father wouldn't want you to do -- Spencer: Don't tell me what my father would have wanted! Sonny: Your father loved you, and he wanted you to be a good man -- a lot better man than I am. And you know that, right? Spencer: But I miss him, and I want him back! Like y-you must want -- Sonny: My son? Spencer: Yeah, like that. Sonny: When the first time that y-you heard that your father was gone, do you remember how that felt? I betcha it felt like you had a big hole in your chest, right, big, big hole in your chest. Spencer: Bigger. Sonny: How much bigger? Spencer: Bigger than the whole entire world. Bigger than the whole universe. Bigger than everything! Sonny: Well, that -- that's the way I felt when I lost Morgan. And you know something? Revenge is not gonna fill that -- that hole in your chest. [Voice breaking] It didn't fill my hole in my chest. And it's not gonna bring your dad back. It's not gonna bring my son back. [Sniffles] [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I'm going back to Sonny because I love him. We share... a life and a family. And because of all the mistakes we've made... Sonny and I are better together than we are apart. Josslyn: So, you're better with the man who had my father arrested, who had him banned from the country? Carly: Sonny was wrong, okay? But, Joss, he -- Josslyn: Oh, my God. "But" nothing! I will never forgive Sonny for what he did. Carly: Look, you're making assumptions here. You're assuming that Sonny won't admit that he's wrong or that -- or that he can't make amends. But Sonny can. Josslyn: Not to me. You know, Mom, I think what makes this hurt so much is that I used to love Sonny. You know, but now I'm gonna hate him till the day I die. So go ahead and go back to him, but you'll have to go without me. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: Nathan, what are you doing here? Amy: [Chuckles] Detective West! What a surprise! Nina: Stop, stop. I see what's going on here. You're "Ask Man Landers," aren't you? Oh, wait. That's why you guys were acting so weird at Kelly's. Amy: [Chuckles] I just hate when people jump to crazy conclusions. Nathan: Amy, Amy, Amy, it's fine. I -- yes, I am doing this. Nina: Okay. I mean, fine. But...since when do you give relationship advice? Nathan: No, I'm not giving -- I'm not. I'm the -- the face of the brand. Nina: You're "Ask Man Landers"! Amy: Yes. Nathan: Yeah. Nina: Okay. Well, how -- how did you get involved in this? Does Maxie know? Nathan: No, no. Look, the only people who know the truth of this whole thing are in the room right now. Nina: Okay. Well, how did she rope you into this? Because you would never be unfaithful to Maxie, I know that for sure, even though she did pack up... Amy: We get it! Nina: ...And take off and fly halfway -- Amy: He's not gonna cheat on Maxie with me or with anyone else! By the way, I would never get involved with a married partner. That's rule number one on "Ask" -- Nina: Okay, I got it. I-I got it. I got it. Thanks. I want my brother's take on this. Nathan: It's, uh, I'm doing Amy a favor. Nina: Because? Nathan: That is Amy's secret, and she can tell you or not. [SCENE_BREAK] Bobbie: Are you waiting to interview Ava? Dante: No, I'm done. Bobbie: [Sighs] Look at Scott. He's up to his neck in this, isn't he? Dante: Helped Ava cover it up. Bobbie: Well, I haven't confronted him about this. And I don't know if I ever will. What would be the point? [Sighs] Scott knew that that woman tampered with my grandson's meds, and he chose to help her get away with it. And I know him, and I know the excuses that he's going to make. He's gonna say it was all after the fact, that Morgan was already gone, and that turning Ava in wasn't gonna bring Morgan back. Dante: You don't agree with that, do you? Bobbie: No. I think Ava committed a crime. I think she willfully and knowingly put Morgan in jeopardy, and I think she should be brought to justice. [SCENE_BREAK] Scott: Well, I'm sorry. It's just that with everything that's happened, I thought maybe you had an attack of conscience. Ava: Even if I did, I would never incriminate you, Scott. Like I said... ...we've been through a lot. Scott: Yes, we have. And I want you to know that I'm here for you, always. Always here for you. Ava: Hey. I need you to do me a favor. Scott: Name it, anything. Ava: Just stop. Okay? Just please, for once, stop with the lies. [SCENE_BREAK] Spencer: This is excellent. Sonny: Enjoy it while you can. Spencer: Do you really think my grandma's gonna suspend my dessert privileges? I fear you might be right. Sonny: I was talking about the restaurant. I'm selling it. Spencer: What?! Sonny: Yeah. Spencer: No! You can't sell it! Pozzulo's without you is like Wyndemere without me! It just doesn't make sense! Sonny: No, sometimes, you ha-- even though you love something, you g-- you got to let it go to move on. [Door opens] Sonny: Hey! Spencer: [Sighs] Sonny: Come on, come on, come on, come on. Laura: Hey, Sonny. Sonny: Hi, Kevin. Laura: Thanks for the call. Sonny: Yeah. Laura: But Chandler told us first that Spencer was here. Spencer: Chandler and I need to have a conversation about discretion. Laura: Chandler knows that he works for me, not you, and that I decide where you're going to go. Now, if you don't stop bullying this man, then I have no choice but to fire him and to send you back to boarding school. But that's okay, 'cause I found a wonderful new one for you in Montana. Spencer: Did you say, "Montana"? Laura: Mm-hmm, where they don't allow any cell phones. And in fact, I don't think they have any digital technology whatsoever. Spencer: Grandmother. [Stammers] Laura: Don't waste your breath, young man. You want to stay in Port Charles? You better improve your behavior, and I mean immediately. Spencer: Understood. Laura: Good. Now, apologize to your Uncle Sonny for putting him in an awkward position. Spencer: I apologize. Sonny: Apology accepted. Now, look. You can come here any time you want, right? That's fine. But if -- if I hear that you're causing trouble for your grandmother or you do anything behind her back, that's not gonna make me happy. You understand? You want me happy, right? Spencer: Mm-hmm. Sonny: Okay, good. Laura: Thank you, Sonny. Always a pleasure. Come on. Sonny: Kevin, can I speak to you for a second? Kevin: Sure. Laura: Uh, okay. We'll be in the car. Kevin: All right. Sonny: Uh, I-I don't know. [Door closes] Sonny: I think I did -- you know, I talked to him a-about what's going on. But I think you should have Laura keep an eye on him. Kevin: I will. Thank you. Sonny: And I-I think it's a real great thing that she has you to help. Kevin: It's my pleasure. [Door closes] [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: What does that mean -- if I go back to Sonny it'll be without you? Josslyn: Look, you know I love you and that I've always been on your side. But you being with Sonny... is wrong. And it hurts me. And I will never accept Sonny as a part of my family again. Carly: What are you saying? Josslyn: Well, you're probably going to move back with Sonny. And since I'm not gonna spend another second of my life under the same roof as that man... I'm gonna live with Dad in Australia. Carly: If you want some time with your father, I'll call Jax. I mean, I'm sure he'll be...happy. Josslyn: No, not "some time." I want to live with him. Besides, you already said I could. Carly: I said you could go for the summer. I never said anything about a permanent move, Josslyn. Josslyn: Well, that's what I want -- to be away from your dysfunctional relationship with Sonny. Carly: I have to think about that. And -- and -- and I'll talk to Jax. But now I'm gonna take you to the park, okay? And -- and you're gonna, uh, go to L-Lila's Kids. Josslyn: What's the point? Carly: The point is you made a commitment! I already missed the morning. I don't care! You made a commitment, and if you want to earn your phone back, you're gonna go and you're gonna keep the commitment! Josslyn: You're so unfair! I have to do everything you say, and you can do anything you want! [Door closes] [SCENE_BREAK] Amy: And the book deal can't happen without the help of your brother, which is the only reason he agreed to do it. Nina: You're incredible. You're both incredible. Amy: Nathan is. [Chuckles] I'm just the person who stole his picture and posted it on my website. Nina: No, you are incredible, doing all of this for your brother. After he served our country and all the medical bills -- it's wrong. Amy: So you understand why this has to be a secret? Nina: Definitely. I definitely do, but Quinn -- Amy: You're not gonna tell her. Nina: I'm not gonna tell her, no, but that's why we have to keep this story as an exclusive for Crimson. That's the only way we can keep the secret, honestly. Otherwise, Quinn will be calling five other publications by the time she leaves the building. Amy: And if she does, I'll tell her no! Nina: Then the book deal is done and your brother's in a worse situation. Nathan: She kind of got a point, Amy. Amy: [Sighs] Nina: Hey, I won't let your secret out. Okay? It's the least I could do for my brother. And yours. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Ava suffering in a hospital bed doesn't cut it. It's not enough. She should be tried and convicted. I owe it to Morgan. Bobbie: Well, I'm all for the maximum punishment, if we can get it. But you have a son and a new daughter and a family and a life. And Morgan would want you to enjoy that life. Dante: [Sighs] Bobbie: Ava is suffering... but you shouldn't have to. Can't you let this go? Live your life with your family. Be happy. Dante: Maybe. I guess. I don't know. But we both know someone who will never be satisfied... and that is my father. [SCENE_BREAK] Scott: I just... don't understand what you're saying. Ava: I said exactly what I meant. I release you. Scott: Release me from what? Ava: [Voice breaking] From this! I know what I look like. Scott: So what? Ava: [Laughs] Did you seriously just say that? Scott: It's horrible. It is. I-I understand that, but it still doesn't have to affect what we are to each other. Ava: Of course, it does. You and I have... flirted and fought and teased each other, and we've been enemies and allies for a long time. And now, really, we got to get real here, you know? You don't want to be sitting here trying to lift up my spirits! Scott: Now, who says I don't? Ava: I do! [Sobs] I don't want it, either! We had a good run, you know? It was odd, interesting, and really lovely. But now it's time for all that to end. [SCENE_BREAK] Spencer: Grandmother, Kevin, um, I'm very sorry for my behavior the past couple of days -- first with Nina, and now with Uncle Sonny. Kevin: Well, it sounds like Uncle Sonny helped you figure out a few things. Spencer: Thanks to him and both of you, I've come to accept my life the way it is -- for now. Kevin: That's very mature of you. Spencer: In the meantime, I'd like to just lay back and chill with both of you great people back at Kevin's place. Laura: [Inhales sharply] Absolutely not. Spencer: [Groans] Laura: I signed you up for Lila's Kids, and you're gonna go back there tomorrow. And today -- this afternoon -- you're gonna help Kevin and me clean up the back patio. Spencer: More chores? [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Hi. Um, so, we have a problem. Sonny: How bad? Carly: Josslyn had a party while I was out of town, a-and there were boys and there was alcohol. Thank God a neighbor called my mom to break it up. Sonny: Isn't Joss a little too young for that? Carly: Yes, she's -- she's way too young for that. But she's -- she's acting out because she's afraid we're gonna get back together. Sonny: We are getting back together. Carly: I know. And when Josslyn heard my mother and me talking about us, well, she had a meltdown. Sonny: Okay, I'll -- I'll -- I'll talk to her. Carly: Don't do that. That is not a good idea. Sonny: I know she's mad at me, but it's not -- Carly: You had Jax deported! You had him exiled from the United States! Josslyn isn't mad at you, she hates you, and she hates me for being with you! Sonny: She'll get past it, Carly. Carly: [Sighs] Sonny, all the goodwill that you and Josslyn built up over the years -- it's gone, maybe even for good. I mean, come on. You didn't just get back at Jax. You betrayed Josslyn's trust and love in you, and the only person she feels more betrayed by is me. [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: Well, success. Laurent will be here in a moment. He loaned out the lens he needed to keep "Ask Man Landers'" identity a secret, but thank heaven he got it back. [Laughs] Nina: Thank heaven! Quinn: Yes, and... oh, I see you've met "Ask Man Landers." Nina: Oh, y-yes. Indeed I have. Indeed I have. Um, remember how we discussed that Crimson would get the exclusive? Quinn: Yes? Oh, don't tell me. Nina: [Laughs] "Man Landers" has agreed. Nathan: Yeah. Uh, Crimson gets the scoop. Quinn: Oh, my gosh! This is great news! Good work, Amy! Amy: [Chuckles] Thanks. It just took a little finesse. Quinn: Wow! I have to tell you both that between Crimson's vast readership and your incredible advice, this is gonna be a match made in heaven. Nathan: You sure? Nina: We're all in this together. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: You know, the only reason why Ava is still alive is because Sonny believes she's gonna suffer for the rest of her life behind bars. And if I don't put her there... Bobbie: You can't let Sonny guide your actions. He's gonna react the way he wants to react, and he's gonna deal with whatever he has to deal with. [SCENE_BREAK] [Monitor beeping] Scott: So, y-you just want me to go away a-and be gone? Ava: I have nothing more to give you. Scott: I don't want anything from you. I want us to just -- Ava: And there's nothing that your visits can give me. Scott: Oh, come on, Ava. Nothing? Ava: Just go, Scott. And goodbye. [Door opens] [Door closes] [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: Well, before we start our afternoon's work, uh, I'm kind of thirsty. I want to get an iced tea to go. How 'bout you? Kevin: That sounds good. Laura: Okay. Spencer, would you mind going there and ordering a couple of iced teas to go? And you can get something for yourself, but no soda pop. Spencer: [Sighs] Okay. Laura: Am I being too hard on him? Kevin: You're setting reasonable limits. Laura: Do you think it's gonna work? Kevin: Well, given that he went from trying to hire a lawyer to trying to arrange a hit and given what a unique young man he is -- Laura: This isn't over. Kevin: Not even close. Laura: Mm. You know something? I-I-I wouldn't blame you if you chose to bow out. Kevin: I'm not going anywhere. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: You know, and now on top of everything else, Josslyn wants to live with Jax. Sonny: Is that a possibility? Carly: Well, I said I would send her there for the summer, but she wants to live with him permanently! Sonny: You think he'd go along with that? Carly: I don't know. I mean, let's face it. You're not Jax's favorite person. But on the other hand, Jax is too good of a father to let Josslyn play him against me. Sonny: You know how much I love you? Carly: I do. I love you, too. Sonny: But she's your daughter, and she comes first. Carly: Yes, but Josslyn's trying to force me to make a choice that I have no intention of making. Sonny: What are you saying? Carly: That I'm gonna find a way to keep Josslyn with me and be with you. Sonny: How are you gonna manage that? Carly: I don't know. Sonny: Huh. Carly: I don't know, but I will because I can't imagine life any other way. [NEXT_ON] Dillon: Ned, are you getting cold feet? Olivia (to Nina, who's upset): Honey, what's the matter? Monica (to Finn): You're not out of the woods yet. Liesl (to Curtis): Name and business here! Michael (as he comes out from under the covers, in bed with Nelle): [Sighs] André (to Anna): You want to do this?
