Helena does not kill Tracy, but threatens her. The Quartermaines are ready to draw and quarter her for hiding a fortune. Emily freaks when she sees Luke "manhandling" Skye. She then goes to Jason and confides her fears to him. She's scared to be with Nikolas when he's freed. Helena arrives and pulls a gun on Luke and Tracy.

Lorenzo: Skye, I'm not doing this for my health. I expect results. Skye: Well, I'll give it my full attention. I'm sure this business deal's going to work out great for the both of us. Luke: Of course, any business deal that Ms. Quartermaine involves herself in includes her partner. That's me. [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: Oh, don't be silly, Luke. You're tied up with your own projects at the moment. Helena: What were you thinking, Tracy, stealing money from the Cassadine bank accounts? Tracy: I didn't touch a penny. It was all Luke. Can you believe it? He framed me. He took the money out of your account, put it in my account, because he knew it would bring you out of hiding to get it back. And look, here you are, just like he predicted. You walked right into Luke's trap. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: So, Alexis is in London. Why am I not surprised? You know, she went out of her way to prove to me that she had adjusted to sonny having visitation with Kristina. She claimed that she came up with a plan for them to co-parent. It's a lie. It's all a setup for something bigger. This was it. Elizabeth: Well, maybe there's a good explanation. Ric: Yeah. How about Alexis took sonny's child and mine and disappeared right out of our lives? [SCENE_BREAK] Ofc. Murphy: It's all right. Mrs. Corinthos, can you hear me? Carly: Michael! Let me go! Michael: Mommy, don't -- Sonny: Do something! Jason: Carly, Carly, stop it. Carly: Jason, did you hear? He said a word to me. Did you hear that? Jason: Ok -- Carly: Did you hear that he -- Ofc. Murphy: Let's go, Mrs. Corinthos. Jason: The crazier you get, the worse it's going to be for Michael. Sonny: You got a badge, use it! Carly: Michael! Michael! Reese: All right, I will take responsibility for the prisoner. We cannot do this in front of the child. Ofc. Murphy: Agent Marshall, I have to take her in. I have my orders. We have to go. Carly: Sonny, do something! Michael: You can't go. Jason: No, no, no, no, no, Sonny, Sonny. Carly: No. No. Jason: Come on. Just -- Carly: Listen, Michael, it's ok. You spoke to me, and I heard you. Mommy loves you. Reese: You can't take this woman until the little boy is back in his room. Do you understand me? Carly: Ok, listen to me. The policemen are going to take me away for a little while, but then I'll be back. Jason: I'm going to follow you over, Carly. Carly: Ok. Listen, did you hear that? Jason's going to take care of you. And I will love you and I will be back. Daddy -- Daddy's going to take care of you, honey. Michael: Daddy? Sonny: Come here, buddy. Come here, buddy. It's ok. Your mommy's going to come back, ok? Michael: You can't go. You can't go. Carly: I will be right back. Michael: You can't go. Carly: Daddy will take care of him. Ofc. Murphy: Hey, hey, hey, let's go. [SCENE_BREAK] Helena: Luke has lost his touch. Well, if I walked into his trap, where is he? Tracy: You know Luke, Helena. He probably soaked himself in a cheap bottle of gin and lost his way. Helena: And what was his plan, Tracy? Was he going to fly in from the rafters like some superhero and throw a net over me and then drag me off to the police station, and to what end? Oh, to free my grandson, whom he despises. Tracy: I don't know, Helena, and honestly, I don't care, because getting dragged into another Cassadine-Spencer skirmish is not my idea of a good time. Quite frankly, I wish you'd all bump each other off and leave the rest of us in peace. Helena: Well, unfortunately, that's not quite possible. You see, one of you has been siphoning off a great big chunk of the Cassadine fortune -- Tracy: I told you it was Luke! Helena: And it is sitting in your bank account, Tracy. Now, if you still value your pathetic life, you'll get it back to me. Tracy: That's what I was trying to do! Edward: Tracy, where are you? Tracy: Daddy, I'm in here! Helena: I'll be back for my money. With interest. Tracy: Oh, I hope Luke gets here pronto. Edward: What bad news are you up to now, hmm? Tracy: I'm dodging bullets and trying to avert disaster. Edward: Oh, don't give me that. You have it right at your fingertips. 48 hours ago, you couldn't rub two nickels together. All of a sudden, I find out that your personal accounts are brimming with cash. Justus: E.L.Q. Is about to go bankrupt, and you're suddenly solvent? Edward: I'm waiting, Tracy. You going to explain that away? [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: Luke, I appreciate your concern, but Mr. Alcazar and I have already made our business arrangements. Lorenzo: You have to understand, Skye, the financial aspects of this deal are not as important as the personal services we discussed. Skye: You have what you want. Lorenzo: Good. I'm counting on you. Luke: Nice work. Skye: So much to do. I haven't even started yet. Luke: Hold on. You're not really in business with him. Skye: What do you think that was about? Luke: Getting him out of the haunted star so I could squeeze Tracy. It was supposed to be a diversion, right? Skye: Except he made me a better offer. All I have to do is figure out which one of the Quartermaines killed A.J. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: I know they scared you, buddy. But mama -- she didn't do anything wrong. There's just a few things that need to be straightened out, and then she's going to come back. I mean, she said she's going to come back, right? She promised. And, you know, mama never breaks a promise, because she loves you. You know what? I love you, too. [Door opens] [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: You know, if Sonny weren't preoccupied with Michael and the fact that Carly's been charged with A.J.'s murder, he'd have a posse out there looking for Alexis and Kristina. Elizabeth: You know, maybe she just panicked. After Kristina came home and everyone thinking that Michael's dead, I could see myself doing the same thing if it meant protecting my child. Ric: But this wasn't a whim, ok? Alexis took Kristina, grabbed her, took her out of the country without Sonny's permission. She'll be charged with kidnapping. At the very least, she's going to be violating the custody agreement -- again. Why would she do that, huh, unless -- Elizabeth: You don't think she left the country for good, do you? Ric: Oh -- Elizabeth: Ric, Ric, Alexis would not risk the courts taking Kristina away from her. And I don't think she's going to keep your baby away from you, either. Ric: She has every means possible to take care of Kristina and the child that she's carrying, my -- my baby. Ah, no, you're right, you're right. You're right. Alexis probably did. She just panicked. She -- she knew I'd try to talk her down if she let me in on this, so she just grabbed Kristina and she ran. She runs. That's what she does, you know? Once she thinks this through, she'll realize the mistake she's making. Elizabeth: She's going to call you, ok? You know she will. Ric: Yeah. And what if she doesn't? What kind of fool am I, huh? I believed in her. Elizabeth: You know, your wife may be a little high maintenance -- Ric: Hmm. Elizabeth: But she loves you. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Oh, perfect. You're already rehearsing your testimony about how A.J. said I threatened him? Jason: Carly, not another word. Carly: Ok, you believe that she happened to show up here by accident? Jason: I mean it. Carly: I need to get back to Michael. Jason: You are in serious trouble. Just be quiet so I can get you out of here in one piece. [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: A.J. took a family in crisis and threw a bomb in their midst. Somebody's got to clean up the mess, so it might as well be -- Luke: Yeah, so it might as well be you. And it'll keep you busy, too. That way you won't have to think about us. Skye: There is no us. Luke: Say that again, this time with a little more conviction. Skye: What do you want me to say, Luke, huh? That I love you? You know that I do, that I can't think straight when you're this close to me. What can I do? Nothing's changed. It never will. Nobody's bothered more by that fact than me. Luke: Hey, hey, hey. Maybe you just need to look at it another way. Skye: Luke, please just let me go. Luke: I'm having a hard time doing that. Skye: Luke -- Emily: Get away from her! Luke, don't you dare touch her! Do you hear me! [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: How could you access my bank account? Justus: He's friends with the president. Edward: Freddy asked me to sit in on his usual Tuesday night poker game. I of course said no because I don't like Texas hold 'em. Tracy: But you did ask him about my bank balance? Edward: No. He said unusual activity was happening there, that's all, and that large amounts of money were being deposited. Justus: Congratulations, Tracy -- finally in a position to save E.L.Q., Just like you promised. Tracy: You don't understand. That money can't be transferred. Edward: Ooh, just a minute. Are you saying that E.L.Q. is not going bankrupt or you just don't want to help? Tracy: I'm doing everything I can. Edward: Except giving the company the influx of capital it needs. Justus: It's simple, Tracy. You transfer the funds into the account. Tracy: I can't. I just can't. That money is not for E.L.Q. Edward: You are so unreliable and selfish. You've never changed, have you? I'm having you removed from E.L.Q. Tracy: You have no idea what I have sacrificed, what I have put on the line for this family. While you're standing there blowing hot air, I'm in the fight of my life. Edward: You're such a drama queen. Tracy: I'll save E.L.Q., with our without your help. Just stay out of my way. Edward: It's in your court, Justus. You got to take over, or we're going to be ruined. Justus: There isn't a person alive who can save E.L.Q. Edward: Wonderful. Is there anyone to stop people at my door? Jason: Your office said we could find you here. Justus: What's going on? Edward: No. He's got more important things to do than file writs for criminals. The family needs him now. Jason: No, Carly needs him now. She's been arrested for A.J.'s murder. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: He was just -- he was starting to break out of it. He made a connection to his mother. I mean, he touched her hair, and then the cops came. They took her away. Reese: And that's when he spoke, doctor. Doctor: Do you remember what he said? Sonny: Yeah. He called her "Mommy." And then he begged me not to let them take -- you know, not to let them take her and stuff, but I couldn't do anything about it, so -- Reese: And he hasn't spoken since then. Doctor: But before that, he did call her "Mommy" and you "Daddy"? Sonny: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the last word he said. Doctor: Oh, that's a good sign, acknowledging you as his parents. It means Michael's questioning what A.J. told him. Sonny: Well, if -- but the thing I'm trying to figure out is if Michael knows that A.J. lied and that, you know, me and his mother love him to death, why would he slip in and out of this thing? I don't -- Reese: I've seen this before with kidnap victims. They literally don't feel safe in this world, so Michael, he's retreating to a world of his own making. Doctor: Even more, all the symptoms -- shutting down, rocking, covering his ears -- Michael's repressing something. Your son either saw or heard something that he desperately wants to forget. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: Excuse me, Elizabeth? Hi. I understand you were on duty when A.J. died. Elizabeth: Yeah. Look, I told the police everything I know, and they already took Carly into custody. Lorenzo: She was in hiding. How did they find her? Elizabeth: Michael had a setback. They brought him here, so naturally, she came to be with her son. And then they arrested her right in front of him. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: Make yourself comfortable. I'm going to have to question you, though you're not obligated to answer any questions without your attorney present -- Carly: Save it, Ric, ok? I'm not -- Sonny's not here, and I'm not impressed by your whole good-brother-just-doing-his-duty routine. Ric: I'm giving you valuable advice here, Carly. Carly: Ok, when you were morally superior? It makes my skin crawl. Ric: Believe it or not -- Carly: You're a hypocrite. Ric: I'm trying to help you here. Carly: Really? Then help me get back to my son. [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: Emily, I'm ok. Luke didn't hurt me. Luke: What the hell's the matter with her? Skye: She just -- she just misunderstood. Emily: Luke promised that he'd catch Helena, but here he is, manhandling you, taking his sweet time. Luke: Hey, get a grip, girl. You're spilling your cookies. Skye: Emily, it's ok. Now, listen, Luke and I have some stuff to finish up here, but I'll meet you back at the house, ok? I promise. Emily: Ok, fine, Skye, but watch yourself. Ok, Luke isn't who you want him to be. Luke: When did she come unspooled? Skye: Why don't I make you a list. Maybe it was when she found out her nephew was kidnapped and presumed dead, or maybe when her brother shot her father in the back and was murdered himself. Luke: I always thought the Quartermaines ate their young. Did somebody spit her back out? Skye: Oh, come on, Luke. It's got to be hard to see the one that you love serving time in prison for killing somebody who isn't even dead. She was counting on you to exonerate Nikolas. Cut her some slack. Luke: All right. Consider it cut. Let's get back to what's important, you and me. Skye: I don't know what you expect. Luke: The truth. Are you playing a game, or do you really want me out of your life? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Carly was seen coming out of A.J.'s room. They also found Carly's D.N.A. on the pillow that was used to smother A.J. Justus: It's a done deal, Jason. It's a done deal. Jason: Carly's not the killer. Justus: Well, how do you know, Jason? Jason: Because I know, Justus. Sam: Look, Elizabeth Webber saw Carly leave A.J.'s room a second time, and A.J. had already told Elizabeth that she had threatened his life. Justus: From what you're telling me, I don't think I'll be able to get this thing kicked on a technicality. I expect Carly to be bound over for trial. Jason: She's not the only person who wanted A.J. dead. Justus: Yeah, well, "I didn't do it" isn't the best defense. I'd better get down there before she says something that could incriminate herself. Jason: Yeah, please, good luck with that. Sam: Jason, Jason, do we follow him or we go to Michael? What do we do? Jason: I -- I need to speak with some of the Quartermaines. Sam: For what? Jason: To see where they were the night A.J. died. There's got to be an alibi missing somewhere. Sam: Ok, well, now you think that one of the Quartermaines killed A.J.? Jason: Well, Sam, I know I didn't do it. Sonny didn't do it. I know it wasn't Carly -- what? Sam: Nothing. Jason: No, not nothing. I -- I trust your instincts. That's why I asked you to come with me, so tell me. Sam: Ok, all right. Carly would do anything, absolutely anything to protect her children. Jason: Yes. Sam: Even commit murder and lie about it. Jason, you know I'm right. You know that there is a possibility that Carly could be guilty. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: As soon as the doctor says, I'm going to take you back to the island. We're going to get up in the morning, like we always do. We're going to go in the ocean. We're going to go for a swim. I'm going to buy you new fins, because your feet have gotten so big. And you can collect shells and give them to your mommy, because you know how much your mama loves shells. And then guess what. I'm going to take you on the speedboat, and I'm going to let you steer, and I'm not just talking about, you know, where I'm behind you, holding your hand, steering. I'm going to let you steer by yourself. You know why? Because I know you can, because you are a strong, brave, smart little boy. And I know that I can count on you to take us wherever we need to go. Sonny: And then, after lunch, you know what I'm going -- you know what I'm going to do after lunch? I'm going to -- don't shut me out! Don't! Tell me what's wrong and I can fix it. Reese: Sonny, you want to go check on Carly? Sonny: No, I can't. Reese: Michael might feel better knowing that you're helping his mom. It's ok. I'll stay with him. I'd be happy to. Sonny: What do you say, buddy? Is it all right if Reese stays here for a little while? Sonny: Daddy loves you. I'll be back. Sonny: Thanks. [SCENE_BREAK] Luke: You're sending some major mixed signals my way, red. Skye: Feelings can be very complicated. Luke: Put that in a greeting card. Look, you -- you said that you love me, and I have no doubt that you do. And then you figure out that I'm no good for you, and I don't doubt that for a second, either. And then just now, before nut bar jumped all over us, I thought you were going to give me a nice little smooch. Skye: Luke, you know I have the willpower of a gnat. Staying sober one day at a time is about all I can handle. Staying away from you is just -- it's too much to ask. Luke: What, are you saying I intoxicate you with love? Skye: I am so glad that you don't want to let go of me. It's not only flattering, this pursuit of me, it's -- I -- Luke: Pursue? This isn't pursuit. This is stalking. Skye: It's -- it's very touching. Even with all that -- you know, with -- with the way you make me laugh and the way you make me feel, we're just -- we're just too different in some very basic ways. Love doesn't conquer all, Luke. Which only makes it sadder that two people like us could never be together. So, I'm really, really sorry for giving you the mixed signals. It's just that you're pretty hard to resist, you know. Which means I'd better try to keep my distance, I guess. Maybe you could be a really great guy and help me with that? [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Carly was afraid that A.J. was going to try and get visitation. And the way Michael is right now, Jason, who knows? A doctor or a judge could say that he bonded with his biological father and there should be some kind of contact. Jason: We would never let that happen. Sam: But Carly wanted to make sure. Maybe -- I mean, who knows? She already admitted to having gone into A.J.'s room, having a pillow in her hands. Once she had gone that far, maybe she couldn't go back. Jason: Carly is not lying to me, Sam. I know it. Sam: Jason, I pray that you are right. It's just that all of the evidence points -- [Sam sighs] Sam: I hope that I'm wrong, but you need to be ready in case that she is guilty. Emily: Sorry. Jason: No, it's all right. You ok? Emily: Yeah. I was -- just distracted. Are you guys waiting for someone? Sam: No. I'm going to go call Michael, like he asked, at the hospital, see how he's doing. Ok? Jason: Ok. Emily: Hey. Jason: What's going on? Emily: Honestly? I think I'm losing my mind. [SCENE_BREAK] Reese: Dr. Ryan thinks you're an amazing boy. She knows a lot of children, and she's pretty smart about figuring out what's bothering them. You know what she told me? When you put your hands over your ears, it's because you're trying to stop remembering something that you heard before, or saw. A.J. said a lot of things to you that weren't true, Michael, and if it were me, I would feel awful about that. I would feel so terrible for believing him, and I would be so angry that I didn't figure out that he was a liar. But there's something that you have to know. A.J. fooled a lot of people. He fooled your parents, and he fooled the police and the F.B.I. And he was so smart that he fooled a lot of different grownups. Michael, honey, nobody blames you for anything. You did absolutely nothing wrong, and you're an awesome kid and everybody loves you so, so much, especially your mom and your dad. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: Hey. Carly: Oh. Lorenzo, I'm so glad you're here. Michael had a breakthrough. They literally had to tear his arms off me. His first words were to beg the policemen to let me go. Lorenzo: You'll be with him, I promise. Carly: Thank you. Lorenzo: I'm going to do whatever it takes, even if I have to break you out of here myself. But first we're going to try other options. Carly: I count every hour that I'm not with Michael. It's -- Lorenzo: Carly, trust me. I will take care of this. [SCENE_BREAK] Luke: Oh, Tracy, you nymphette. Back for more? Shall I get the neckties, or should we play with duct tape tonight? You wouldn't happen to have a nice, little leather-print teddy, would you, with some long -- Tracy: Are you done yet? Luke: What? Tracy: Helena showed up at my house -- with a gun! Luke: Hallelujah. It worked. Tracy: Well, except for one small detail. You used me as bait, and then when the fish showed up, you were nowhere to be seen. Luke: Oops. Left you wriggling on the hook, huh? Tracy: She thinks that I am the one that's stealing from her. And unless you find a way to catch her, I'm going to be the one to get killed. Did I mention she had a gun? Helena: I still do. Oh, Tracy, and I believed every word you said. Luke: Speaking of Beelzebub. Helena: I am so flattered that you would go to all of this trouble just to see me again. Luke: It was no trouble, sweetheart. Tracy: Says who? Helena: What is it you want this time? Luke: To pry that gun from your cold, dead hand. Helena: What a coincidence. "Cold" and "dead" -- that's exactly what I have planned for you. [SCENE_BREAK] Emily: Luke's back in port Charles. He has a plan to trap Helena and get Nikolas out of prison, and I'm praying for it to work. Jase, I want Nikolas to be free. Jason: Ok. Emily: Ok. When Nikolas gets out, he's going to want everything to be the way it was, and that scares me, Jase, because I'm not the same person that I was and Nikolas doesn't have a clue. See, that's why I had to ask him for a divorce, so that he can be free. Jason: Does he even get a vote? Emily: Jase, if he knew about the rape, he'd stay out of loyalty, ok? Or maybe even love. But I can't be with him, so it's better this way. Jason: It's better for who, Emily? Emily: Jase. I'm trying so hard, Jase. My work, my studies, and I'm trying to help the family. I think I've got it handled, and -- and suddenly I'm out of control. I laid into Luke a few minutes ago. I totally just lost it. Like the night A.J. died. You know, he was so awful to you, and I just went off on him. Half that night -- it's just a blank. Jason: You've had a lot to deal with. You know that. Emily: Right. But I'm not dealing with it. Jase, I'm, like, just overwhelmed -- you know, with fear and rage and anger against Connor and what he did to me, you know, what I let him do. And I push it down every morning so that I can wake up and have a halfway normal life, and then something happens and it all just boils up again. I can't control it. Jase, sometimes I swear I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: How's Michael? Why'd you leave the hospital? Sonny: Hey, hey. Dr. Ryan says that, you know, the fact that Michael said "Mommy" and "Daddy," the way he grabbed you and stuff -- it's a good thing. Carly: What did he say when I left? Did he say anything to you? Oh, god. Oh, god, I have to get back there. Sonny: Ok, Carly, Carly, you're facing a murder rap. This does not go away just because you want it to. Carly: Do not stand there and lecture me when my son is in pain. Why did you leave the hospital? I don't understand why you left. Sonny: I'm trying to give Michael what he needs. And what he needs right now is his mother, and I'm trying to get you back to him. Carly: Do better. Ric: Carly, we need to get you booked and processed. Carly: I need to speak to my attorney. Justus: It's ok, Jason already filled me in. I'm preparing for your arraignment right now. The best advice I can give you is to stay calm. Carly: I know, calm and cooperate. I know, I heard all that. Justus: Good, pay attention. Carly: Ok. I don't care what you do, just let me get back to my son. Thank you. Lorenzo: Try not to worry. Justus: Can I go over some evidence with you? Sonny: Ok, no one is doing anything. I need a word with my brother. [SCENE_BREAK] Reese: It's been a long time since I tucked a little boy into bed. My Jamie used to like it when I'd sing to him until he fell asleep. I used to sit in a chair and rock him. And then when he got a little bigger, I'd sit on the edge of his bed like this, and I'd stroke his hair. I used to dread the day that he would be too big for lullabies. Be careful what you wish for, huh? Hush, little baby don't say a word mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird and if that mockingbird don't sing mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring and if that diamond ring turns brass mama's gonna buy you a looking glass and if that looking glass gets broke mama's gonna buy you a billy goat and if that billy goat don't pull mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull and if that cart and bull Reese: You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town [SCENE_BREAK] Helena: Leaving so soon, Tracy? Tracy: Well, uh, this is clearly between the two of you, and I just thought it would be best if I let the two of you sort it out. Helena: Nobody walks out. Luke: Come on back, Tracy. I'm pouring the good stuff. Tracy: Good. Make mine a double. Luke: So what's the plan, vampira? Helena: To end this for good. Luke: Excellent. How about I drive a stake through whatever it is you call a heart? Helena: Oh, I'm afraid that would be impossible. You see, I need to go to the police and prove that I am very much alive. Luke: Well, now, that'll be a neat trick. How are you going to explain the fact that little Nikolas is rotting in prison for your murder? Helena: Oh, I will tell them that you held me captive, faked my death, and framed Nikolas for it. Luke: What do you think, Tracy? Does that hold water? Tracy: Oh, yeah, about as much as the haunted star. Helena: And I will remind them of the decades that you have spent building a festering, poisonous hatred against me and my family. Luke: That's good. Helena: You haven't heard the punch line. When I finally escaped, you came after me, cornered me. You tortured me. What else could I do but -- Tracy: Oh! No! No! Helena: Well, it was self-defense. And since you are his accomplice, you're next. [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: Emily? Are you here? Emily: Skye, I'm in here. Hi. Skye: Hi. Emily: Hi. I have a test next week, so I figured I'd better get ready. Skye: Oh. Yeah, that's good. Emily, I -- Emily: Hey, Skye, listen, I shouldn't have gone off on Luke like that. I was just totally out of line, and I'm so sorry. Skye: Oh, believe me, he's not easy, I know. But I am grateful that you're concerned about me, but I just wanted you to know that Luke and I are over. Emily: You really think so? Skye: Yeah, we -- we have this new understanding, and I'm just going to learn how to live with it. So you don't have to worry anymore, ok? But there is something that I'd like to ask you. I'd like to try to figure out who murdered A.J. Emily: They've -- they've arrested Carly. Skye: Yes, but it could easily be someone else. Now, you were there that night at the hospital, Emily. Did you see anything that could help us learn the truth about A.J.'s death? [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: Excuse me. Is Monica Quartermaine on duty? Jason: You don't have to answer him. Just leave her alone, Alcazar. Lorenzo: Morgan, we both know that Carly didn't murder A.J., and you and Sonny claim that you didn't do it, either. So the killer is as likely a Quartermaine as anyone else. Obviously, it couldn't have been Alan. He wasn't in any kind of shape -- Jason: Leave Monica alone. Lorenzo: Well, makes sense that that's the way you want it. Cover for your mother, maybe your sister, even if it means letting Carly go to trial for murder. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: I've done everything I can to protect Carly's rights. If you want, I can consider making a plea bargain with -- Sonny: Let Carly go, all right? Ric: What? Sonny: That's all you need to do is let Carly go. Ric: Sonny, I can't. The evidence is too overwhelming. Sonny: How's this for evidence? Alexis is in London with my daughter. She took Kristina out of the country without my permission, without the courts. I think that's what you call kidnapping. Ric: Oh -- don't do this. Sonny: I have not even started. You can either see me in family court when I permanently take Kristina away from Alexis, or you can let Carly go. Carly's voice: I'm your mother, and I love you so much. You're safe. Michael's voice: No, Mommy, no! Reese: Michael? It's ok. You're ok, honey. I'm here. Michael: I saw Mommy. She had a pillow. I saw her do it. Reese: What does that mean, Michael? Did you see your mommy hurt A.J.? [NEXT_ON] Tracy: Helena, no one has to know this happened. Lorenzo: I'm putting the whole Quartermaine family under a microscope. Monica: Were you looking for me? Ric: You wouldn't do that unless you think Carly is guilty of killing A.J. Michael: I saw her do it. Justus: I need you to seriously consider copping a plea.
