Mac stops by Maxie's apartment with dinner from the Floating Rib so he can talk to her without Levi speaking for her. She says Levi is helping her remake herself. He says he and Felicia love her just the way she is. He observes that Maxie doesn't even dress up anymore. Maxie says she made all the wrong choices, and she lost Spinelli and her daughter. She asks Mac to give Levi a chance. As Carly and Franco are about to leave General Hospital with AJ's phone in Carly's purse, they run into Anna. They deny having seen AJ's phone. Felix tells Anna otherwise. Carly and Franco listen to the recording on AJ's phone again, but still can't make it out. Carly says she knows someone who can decipher it. She wonders what AJ was accusing Ava of. Anna calls Carly. Julian is on the floor reaching for his gun. Ava picks it up. Shawn shows up and stops her before she shoots Julian. He tells her that they need him alive for Danny's sake. Julian reveals that Ava was the person who shot Olivia. Ava admits that she shot Olivia, but that she was aiming for Franco. She points out that Shawn took a shot at Franco that night too. She asks him not to tell Sonny about it or she will have to tell the police that Sonny killed AJ. Olivia recoils from Sonny and asks him if he had sex with Ava. After she badgers him, he finally admits that he did. He says it just happened because Ava was the only person who understood what he was going through at that moment, but he can't tell her what she understood. Olivia thinks Sonny and Ava have been having an affair. He tells her that it happened once, and it will never happen again. She ends things between them. Luke leaves a voicemail message for Julian saying Ava had better be dead by now. Michael goes to see Luke at ELQ and overhears him leaving his threatening phone message. Luke says he was just putting a little fear in the heart of the competition. Michael doesn't recall anyone at ELQ ever using threats with the competition. Michael asks Luke to ask Tracy to make a donation to the Nurses' Ball in AJ's honor. Luke promises to try. Julian goes to Luke's office. Luke tells him to use the phone instead of coming to ELQ. Luke surmises that Julian didn't kill Ava. Julian tells him that Morgan intervened so he won't get another chance. Morgan goes to see Michael at his apartment. Kiki answers the door and invites him to stay and wait for Michael. Morgan reveals that he moved out of his father's house and hoped that he could stay with Michael for a couple of days. Kiki presses him to tell her what is wrong. He reveals that Ava and Sonny had sex. Kiki says it might not be a good idea for Morgan to stay there, because Michael relies on Sonny a lot since AJ was shot. Morgan thinks Michael deserves to know what kind of man he is leaning on. Kiki asks him to wait. When Michael comes home, Morgan doesn't tell him about Sonny and Ava. He declines Michael's offer to stay there, saying he is going to stay with their mother.
Carly: We got to get the hell out of here, you know? Anna can never get her hands on this phone. Let's go. Franco: Okay. Carly: [Sighs] Franco: Well, look who's here. Anna: What are you two doing here? Carly: Uh, well, you seemed so busy, so -- so we just thought that we'd come look for AJ's phone. Anna: I'm not in the habit of delegating police work to civilians. Carly: It was a long shot, you know. We just thought we'd give it a try. Anna: Did you find AJ's phone? Julian: [Groans] Ava: Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Nice try, Julian. Looks like the shoe is on the other foot, hmm? So, tell me, how does it feel, knowing you're about to die? Luke: Jerome, I don't do voice mail. Why haven't you gotten back to me yet? That sister of yours better be dead. It's in your best interest, if you value your business and your life. Morgan: Mikey, open up. I need to talk to you. Kiki? Kiki: Hey. Michael's not here. What's wrong? Sonny: What's wrong? Olivia: Did you have sex with Ava? Sonny: What? Olivia: It's a real simple question, Sonny. Yes or no? Did you have sex with Ava? Maxie: Ohm. Ohm. [Knock on door] Maxie: Oh! Mac: Maxie? Is everything okay? Maxie: [Sighs] Mac? Mac: Are -- are you all right? I thought I heard a crash. Maxie: I was just practicing my, uh, tree pose. Mac: Your what? Maxie: My tree pose. It's a basic yoga pose. What is that? Mac: Dinner. I brought you a full rack of ribs. Luke: Michael. Michael: Hey. Luke: I didn't hear you knock. Come in. Michael: I didn't want to interrupt, especially when you're making death threats. [Chuckles] I wouldn't want to be the person on the other end of that call. Luke: [Laughs] You flatter me. Michael: So, tell me, who, uh, who got on your bad side? Julian: Ava. Ava: Don't move. Julian: [Sighs] Look, can we -- can we talk about this? Ava: You just tried to murder me. I don't think there's any coming back from that. Julian: I had no choice. Ava: Oh, please. Of course you had a choice! And you chose to follow your mysterious boss's orders to kill me! Now, if you were smart, you would have done it when you had the chance. But you hesitated. A mistake I am not gonna make. Shawn: Ava! Ava! Don't! Don't. Don't. Kiki: I don't know when Michael is getting back, but you're more than welcome to stay, although I have to warn you -- I'm planning a "housewives" marathon. Morgan: No, I was hoping to stay with Mikey for a couple of days. Kiki: I -- I'm sorry. I thought you were living with your dad, like I'm living with mine. Morgan: Yeah, I was, but I moved out. Kiki: Okay. So you're not hungry, you're in a terrible mood, and you moved out of your dad's? You want to tell me what's going on? Sonny: Where's this coming from? Olivia: Well, Alexis stopped by a little while ago with some papers for me to sign. She noticed that I seemed a little bit upset. Sonny: Mm-hmm. Olivia: And I told her that Morgan had stopped by and that he seemed a little bit upset. Sonny: Mm-hmm. Olivia: [Sniffles] Your boy moved out, by the way. Sonny: And? Olivia: And Alexis said that she wasn't surprised that Morgan was upset, because Ava had cheated on him. It's funny. Funny. When you told me all about Ava and Morgan breaking up, you never said anything about anyone cheating. I just -- I kind of wonder why. Carly: Did we find AJ's phone? No. No, unfortunately. And we turned this whole place upside down. We looked in the E.R., I.C.U. Franco: We even looked in the lost and found. Carly: And there were tons of phones in the lost and found, but none of them looked familiar. And it was just a wild-goose chase, I guess. Anna: It should be here. AJ's "find my phone" app indicated as much, so we'll just have to search until we find it. Mac: Okay. Corn on the cob, French fries. Maxie: Mac, Levi told you that we're vegans and we do not partake of animal products. Mac: [Chuckles] Did I just hear you use the word "partake"? Maxie: What's wrong with "partake"? Mac: It's just a word I've never heard you use before. Maxie: Don't change the subject. You brought those ribs and those yummy sides over to get me to break my commitment to veganism, didn't you? Mac: Maxie, I don't care if you're a vegan. I just don't want you making any commitments to some guy named Levi Dunkleman. He's not here, is he? Maxie: No. He's at a yoga class. It's advanced iyengar. I haven't reached that point of my practice yet. Mac: Good. Finally...we can have a conversation without him policing every word you say. Maxie: Levi does not police me. He's helping me remake myself. Mac: Maxie, your mother and I don't want you remade. We love you just the way you are. Franco: We should go, 'cause we have that thing. Carly: Right. Oh, gosh. Yeah, we do. I'm so sorry, but we have dinner, you know? Franco: There's no need to be sorry. I'm sure that Anna's got this under control. She got a whole squad of professionals at her disposal, people who, unlike us, actually know what they're doing. Carly: Right, 'cause we learned our lesson. We're gonna leave the investigation to the professionals. Let me know if you hear anything, find anything. Shawn: What the hell is going on? Ava: Stay out of it, Shawn! This is family business. Shawn: Well, I can't stay out of it. Ava: Why not? Julian's been a problem for you and Sonny since he arrived. I'd be doing you a favor. Shawn: Okay, Ava, I'd really like to see Julian dead, and I'm sure a whole lot of people can say the same, but we can't kill him, for Danny's sake. If he ever gets sick, we need this bastard alive. Luke: That call? That was just me putting a little fear in the heart of the competition. Michael: Is that some new corporate policy? 'Cause I didn't realize ELQ had started threatening the competition. Luke: Well, it's a big, bad world out there, Michael. Sometimes tough talk is the only thing that gets the job done. You should have heard the guy on the other end of the line. What a meathead. He thinks he's gonna wrap up Singapore. I'll give him a wrap-up. Have somebody duct-tape a plastic bag around his head, and that'll wrap him up. [Laughs] Come on. I'm joking. Come on, kid. Lighten up. No, I was schooled in the ways of the southeast corridor by my fiancée -- never show weakness. Now, I know that when your dad and you were running the company, things were done differently. Did I go overboard? Probably. Uh, I'm new to the boardroom. Still trying to prove myself. Michael: Well, uh, no doubt Tracy would be impressed. Luke: I aim to please. So, what can I do for you? Michael: Uh, actually, I wanted to talk to you about Kiki. Kiki: Tell me. Whatever it is, you can tell me. Morgan: All right. Fine. You remember when we went to the Quartermaines after AJ's funeral, right? And Ava -- she saw us in the foyer, and then she ran out. And then we saw her car, so I went looking for her. Kiki: Yeah. I remember. Morgan: Well, I found her, and she was in the family crypt. Kiki: Yeah, actually, she lost her earring there. I had to bring it back to her. She said she was at the crypt paying her respects to AJ Morgan: [Scoffs] Is that -- is that what she said? She said she was paying her respects? Because I can tell you that Ava didn't lose her earring while she was paying her respects. But she might have lost it when she was screwing my dad. Olivia: You never said anything about anybody cheating. In f-- actually, you n-- you never explain anything at all. You just said that Ava and Morgan broke up, and I just believed you. So -- so, why don't you explain it to me, Sonny? What did -- what did you do? I mean, God knows that woman meant the world to your son. He would not have given her up without a fight. So whatever you did, it must have been really impressive. So, what did you do? Did you -- did you threaten Ava? Did you scare her?! Or did you sleep with her? Kiki: Okay. My mom slept with your dad? Morgan: Yeah. Well, there wasn't much sleeping going on, but, yes, they had sex. Kiki: They don't even like each other. Morgan: All I know is that I walked into the crypt and they were both pulling on their clothes. Kiki: Are you sure you weren't overreacting? Maybe your dad was upset, my mom was comforting him? Morgan: No. They admitted it. Kiki: [Sighs] I don't even know what to say to you, Morgan. I'm so sorry. Morgan: Yeah. Me too. Kiki: [Sighs] Geez. My mom does the strangest things. Why would she sleep with your d-- was it because of us? Morgan: What do you mean? Kiki: My mom ran out of the foyer 'cause you and I were hugging. Did she sleep with your dad as some sort of payback? Morgan: No. No. I asked her the same exact thing. Kiki: [Sighs] Why the heck would she do it? Morgan: Your guess is as good as mine. Luke: Kiki. What a lovely young woman. What about her? Michael: Well, she thought we should talk. Luke: Did she? About what? Michael: Well, tomorrow is the nurses' ball, and she suggested that I could make a donation in AJ's name to honor his memory. Luke: Well, that is very thoughtful and philanthropic. Memorializing your father, while making a donation to a worthy cause. Yes. What does it have to do with me? Michael: I want -- I want you to give me the money. Felix: Hey. Commish. Anna: Hi. Felix: Are we gonna see you at the nurses' ball tomorrow? Anna: Absolutely. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Something so close to Robin's heart. Gonna raise some money for H.I.V. And aids research. It's gonna be a good night. Felix: Yeah. I just wish that Dr. Scorpio-drake could be there in person, but I hope we do her proud. Anna: I have no doubt. You're all so dedicated, you know. It's fun to see you let loose. Felix: [Chuckles] Um, so, can I help you with something? Are you looking for a patient? Anna: Uh, well, I'm here to question the staff -- anyone that worked on AJ Quartermaine when he was brought in. Felix: Wow. That could be just about anybody. He was in the E.R., Then the O.R., Then the I.C.U. Anna: I know. I'm looking for AJ's cell phone. We traced it here to the hospital. Felix: The phone was here, but someone beat you to it. Anna: Someone already found the phone? Felix: Yeah, just a little while ago. It was over in the lost and found. Anna: Do you mind me asking who? Felix: Of course not. It was Carly and Franco. Ava: AJ. What are you doing here? AJ: I know you did it. I know you -- [Static] Carly: Damn it. I mean, it's still fried. I was hoping that it was -- Franco: If you bought it a nice meal, it would cooperate? Life doesn't work like that. Whatever's on that phone is lost. I'm afraid we may never know what Ava and AJ Were arguing about. Carly: Maybe. Maybe not. Shawn: You have to know how much Sonny would love to take Julian out, but he hasn't because he cares about that little boy much more. Well, you don't want to take that child away from him. Julian: [Sighs] I owe you one. Shawn: Don't even try it. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Julian: [Sighs] Before you go, I have to say something. Ava: No one is interested in anything you have to say. Julian: Well, I think Shawn will be very interested. I know Sonny will be thrilled. It's not often that we get, uh, closure in life. It's touching, isn't it? Ava's newfound loyalty for Sonny and all the things that she's willing to do because of it. Ava: We don't have time for this. Julian: But before you tell Sonny about the sacrifice that Ava made here tonight, don't forget to tell him about all the other sacrifices that she's de, namely that Ava was the one who shot Olivia. Olivia: When Alexis told me that Ava had cheated on Morgan, my first thought was Dr. Silas Clay. "That's who it's got to be." That's what -- that's what Alexis thought, too, but Morgan said, no, it was not -- it was not Silas. So, who -- who could it be? Sonny: Morgan said a lot of things. He was upset about... Olivia: Don't talk. When I got to thinking, then, I thought, "you know, when Morgan came to the hotel... he was so hurt. He was so upset. But it wasn't just at Ava." It was at you. He was so angry with you. And he wanted so badly to tell me what had happened. He's such a good boy. But then I got a phone call. [Chuckles] And when I came back, it seemed like he changed his mind. He took off. And that left you to explain it to me. And you just kept talking and talking and deflecting and smoothing it over. [Scoffs] And I see now that that was just to distract me from what was really going on. So, um, so I got to ask you one more time. Sonny... I got to ask you. Did you sleep with Ava Jerome? Damn it, Sonny! You will do me the courtesy of telling me the truth! Sonny: Yeah, I did. Olivia: [Exhales sharply] Maxie: You're wrong about Levi. He's a wonderful, generous person. Mac: Who's turning you into something you're not. Maxie: He's helping me evolve. Mac: Into what? You would have never have done any of this on your own -- yoga, veganism. Is that even a word? And look at the way you're dressed, Maxie. What happened to those seven-inch heels you fell off of and broke your ankles? Maxie: You hated those shoes. Mac: But you loved them. They were fashion. They made you happy. Maxie: No, mac. They made me so unhappy. I was [Sighs] So desperate to fill up my life with something meaningful that I made all the wrong choices. I ended up losing Spinelli and my daughter. Mac: Sweetheart -- Maxie: No. When I met Levi, I was at rock bottom -- alone and confused. Levi helped me see that I could become a better person. Mac, please, will you give him a chance? For me? Shawn: What did you just say? Julian: Oh. You mean Ava didn't tell you? Back when she was interviewing for double agent, she failed to mention that she was the one who shot Olivia last year? Huh. Didn't the cops like you for that, Shawn, and Carly? So the whole time that Sonny's pricing out headstones, Ava could have cleared the whole thing up. Instead, she just left you twisting in the wind. Well, that is Ava for you. Self-preservation is job number one. Well, I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about, and, uh, oh, my, look at the time. [Chuckles] Better get going. Yeah, I missed an important appointment while you were threatening my life. And, um, I do hope that you have a pleasant evening. Best of luck to you, sis. You're gonna need it. Shawn: Is this true? Did you shoot Olivia? Ava: Yeah. It's true. But for the record, I was aiming for Franco. Carly: We know the phone recorded AJ's conversation with Ava. We can hear most of it. Franco: Yeah, but nothing that actually helps us. Carly: But if we could get rid of the static, we could figure out what's going on. Franco: Look, I know you don't want to involve the cops because you don't want to implicate Sonny. I get that. But, you know, the police might be the only people that have the expertise and the technology to decipher that thing. Carly: Not necessarily. Franco: Why, you know someone else? Luke: You want me to give you the money? Michael: No, no, no. Not you personally. ELQ. I thought it would be a nice gesture if the company made the donation. I mean, ELQ meant so much to AJ Luke: Yeah, it is. It's a nice thought. But, you see, I'm not in a position to okay such a thing. Tracy is C.E.O., And, as you know, she and AJ Were not really...close. Michael: Yeah, I know, but, um, look. Tracy -- she listens to you, and I thought you might be able to bring her around. [Sighs] Luke, you said some really nice things about AJ at the funeral, and you did offer to help me if you could. Luke: Yes, I did. Michael: So could you put in a good word for me? Luke: Of course I can. Michael: Yeah? You can? Luke: Hey, man, we're family. After I tie the knot with Tracy, we'll be family twice over. Michael: Thank you. Thank you, Luke. Luke: I can't guarantee that she'll go for it, but I do guarantee you I'll give it my best shot. Michael: Thank you. I appreciate this. Luke: Hey. Michael: And I'll let you get back to threatening. Luke: [Chuckling] Okay. Michael: Thank you. Luke: Uh, Michael... Michael: Yeah? Luke: Make sure to tell your girlfriend that was a really nice idea. And... give her a big hug for me. Michael: Okay. Kiki: Are you sure you want to stay here? Have you thought about moving in to your mom's? Morgan: God, no. And hear her "I told you so's" about Ava? This is really good. Mikey's gonna love it. Kiki: Thanks. Anything I can do to try to help Michael. Morgan: Yeah. He's, uh, he's pretty wrecked, you know? It just doesn't seem fair. Like, AJ Makes this huge deal about bonding with Michael and then crashes and burns -- kills Connie, relapses into a raging drunk, and gets murdered. And Michael's just left to clean up the whole mess. Michael's always left cleaning up the mess. Kiki: And then Carlos pleads guilty. Michael's been obsessed with getting justice for AJ, but guess what -- it doesn't bring AJ back. Morgan: Yeah. Kiki: Michael's going through a really tough time... which is why, Morgan, I think you should think about staying somewhere else. Morgan: Why? You don't think he's gonna want me to stay here? Kiki: No, no, no. Michael would be the first one to tell you to stay here. I just -- [Sighs] Ever since AJ was shot, especially since he died, Michael's really been leaning on Sonny. And I'm not saying that you don't have every right to be angry with Sonny, because you do. Michael really needs Sonny right now, and I don't want anything to come between them. The last thing Michael needs is to know what Sonny did. Olivia: Why?! It doesn't even make any sense! Sonny, you hate her -- and her brother! They've been gunning for you ever since they got to this town, destroying your business. They almost killed you, Sonny. They -- they turned your son against you, and you slept with her?! Sonny: It wasn't like that. We -- it's not like I wanted to or I had to have her. It -- it just happened. Olivia: It just happened? Sonny: Yes. Olivia: Like what? Like what? An accident? Like, oh, you took a turn too fast and you fell on top of her?! What kind of freaking idiot do you think I am?! Sonny: It wasn't deliberate! I'm sorry! I don't what else you want me to say. Olivia: Stop it, Sonny. You don't have sex with someone on accident. You make a choice. And you chose her, so explain it to me, because I gave you everything I had. Sonny: It's not about you. Olivia: What was it about? Please tell me. Sonny: She's the only one who understood -- at that time. Olivia: "Understood"? [Scoffs, gasps] You tell me -- you tell me what that woman understood about you that I don't! Maxie: [Sighs] I shouldn't be doing this. I promised Levi and myself. Mac: Mac and cheese was always your favorite. Maxie: You're deliberately tempting me. Mac: Maxie, it's pasta and melted cheese. It's not a fall into everlasting darkness. Maxie: When you put it that way... mmm. I used to dream about this stuff, literally. We were at this ashram for a while, and it was spiritually enlightening, but the food -- much better here. Mac: Well, I hope that means you'll be sticking around a while. Maxie: Why wouldn't I? This is my home. Mac: [Sighs] I guess I'm just paranoid, with Robin leaving. I mean, we barely got her back, and she's gone again. Maxie: Robin has a calling to help people. She's a lot like Levi in that way. Mac: You're comparing Robin to some drifter you met in the wilds of Borneo? Maxie: Mac... Mac: Sorry. He's helping you on your spiritual path. Maxie: He is. And that's why instead of being selfish and resentful that Robin's gone, even though I didn't get to say goodbye to her, I can appreciate the choice she's made, you know? She made a huge personal sacrifice, leaving the ones she loved, in order to try and be of service to others. We have to respect Robin's choice. Mac: Yeah, I guess. I'm still gonna miss her, though. Maxie: Me too. Mac: And I hate that she's gonna miss the nurses' ball. Maxie: Me too. Anna: Carly and Franco already found AJ's phone? Felix: Yeah. Like I said, it was behind the counter in the lost-and-found box. Anna: I see. I see. Felix: So, if you want the phone, I guess you'll have to talk to them. Anna: I guess I will. Carly: Ava's in her penthouse. Even though she's supposed to be in the city on business, she's in her penthouse. AJ Shows up, drunk and belligerent. Franco: Because he's awake. Well, it was kind of a permanent condition with that guy, right? Carly: Earlier that day, Carlos shows up at the Quartermaine mansion. He breaks in. He tries to kill AJ, Acting on Ava's orders. Franco: Maybe that's what AJ Was accusing Ava of. Carly: No. It -- it can't be, because later in the recording, he says that it was Ava, not Sonny, who sent the thugs to the Quartermaines. That -- that's not what AJ Meant. It had to be something else. I mean, AJ Is accusing Ava of something, but what is it? [Cell phone ringing] Franco: Are you really gonna answer your phone right now? Carly: Mm-hmm. Franco: We are -- I mean... Carly: It's Anna. Ava: I was trying to keep Franco away from my daughter. The man's a psychotic. Or at least he was. And I was worried about Kiki's safety. I didn't mean to hurt anybody else. But Olivia -- God love her -- she came running out of nowhere. For what? I guess to protect Sonny? Well, it's not like I was the only person there. You were there, too. And you had no qualms about taking Franco out, because you understood that it was a job that needed to be done, just as I'm sure you understand that jobs such as that -- sometimes there can be... collateral damage. You do understand that, don't you? Shawn: You know, it's -- it's not me you should be worried about. It's Sonny. Ava: Sonny's never gonna find out, 'cause you're not gonna breathe a word of it. Olivia: Tell me, what is it that Ava understands about you that I don't? Sonny: I can't say. Olivia: Did she grow up with you? Did she fall in love with you when she was a girl? [Voice breaking] Did she have your baby when she was 15 years old? Explain to me -- what does she understand about you that I don't? Sonny: It's -- you know me better than anybody. We grew up together. We were kids. We're doing the whole thing. But you know what? There are things I can't tell you. You -- you understood that, didn't you? Olivia: I thought that you were talking about your mob business. Oh! I'm -- I'm such an idiot. I thought you were trying to protect me. Not some filthy affair. [Laughs ironically] Sonny: No... Olivia: [Sniffles] No, this year, I really felt like -- I felt like we understood each other. I felt like you were sharing things with me, like you were letting me into your life. And the whole time, you were carrying on with this woman. Sonny: I'm not having an affair with Ava. It was one time, after AJ's funeral, and I-I promise you I will not ever do it again. Olivia: Yeah. Well, I hope you had a hell of a time...because this thing with us -- this is through. [Knock on door] Julian: Sorry. I got your message. I wasn't able to come by earlier. Luke: Do you ever think of using the phone? You've been to my office twice in one day now. Julian: Well, who cares if someone sees me? I'm your art dealer, remember? If someone asks, you tell them I brought you a receipt this morning, and I'm bringing you a catalog for an upcoming show. Luke: Well, why do we have to jump through hoops? Just use the phone! Julian: [Sighs] Yeah, well, I assumed you'd want to hear this in person. Luke: So, that means you didn't complete the assignment and your sister still lives. Julian: Yeah. [Groans] Ava is... still with us. Luke: What happened? Don't give me some crap about blood being thicker than stagnant water. Julian: No, I was...more than ready to go through with it. Luke: Yeah? So, what's the problem? Julian: Morgan Corinthos is the problem. I was just about to complete the task when he showed up. Morgan: I get that Michael's in a bad way, but he has every right to know the kind of man that he's leaning on. Kiki: Does he need to know that today? Morgan: Yeah. I think the sooner, the better, because he always has our dad's back. He gives him the benefit of every doubt, and he needs to know that our wise, loving father screwed my girlfriend, your mom, in AJ's crypt. Kiki: I'm asking you to wait, for Michael's sake. Morgan: Kiki, I'm trying to protect my brother. Kiki: Are you sure you're not trying to get back at your dad? You have every reason to. What your dad did is inexcusable, but right now, I need to worry about Michael. Morgan: Okay. Well, maybe I need to talk to Michael. Did you ever think of that? Maybe it helps me to talk to him. Kiki: Morgan, we've both seen how much Michael takes care of you. He takes care of you all the time. I'm just asking you, for once, to take care of your brother, okay? He just needs this time right now to grieve. He'll get through it soon. I promise. Morgan: Because he has you. Kiki: Well, you have me, too, okay? Anytime you need me, you call me. You can talk to me anytime. All I'm asking for you to do is to not tell Michael about what happened between my mother and your dad. If you don't want Michael to be hurt any more than he already is, you'll agree with me. Michael: What's going on? Maxie: I am so excited about the nurses' ball tomorrow. It's gonna be even better than last year. Mac: Well, given your mother proposed to me last year, I have my doubts. Maxie: Okay, maybe not for you, but for me, I mean, I'm "a," not pregnant, which means that opens up a lot of wardrobe options. "B," I'm not keeping a horrible, soul-shattering secret, so that will definitely add to my enjoyment for the evening. And, "c," instead of holding the nurses' ball in Robin's honor, we know that she's alive and well and doing good in the world, even though she's not with us. That's a trifecta of positives! [Chuckles] Mac: You know... forget Levi Dunkleman and his spiritual path. What you just said proves that you have a uniqueness of wisdom that is all your own. Come on. Mm. Carly: Oh, my God. Franco: What is it? Carly: She knows we have the phone. Franco: What? How? Carly: Felix. I think he accidentally ratted us out. Franco: Yeah. Okay. He's just not trustworthy, although he does give one hell of a sponge bath. I've heard. Carly: What are we going to do? Franco: I think it's time that we get ourselves and that phone out of town. Carly: You think we should run? Franco: Carly... will you go on the lam with me? Kiki: Michael. Hey. I wanted to surprise you. Guess what. Michael: What? Kiki: I tried to cook, and I actually made you spaghetti Bolognese, and Morgan decided to be the taste tester. Michael: Um, what's with the bag? Morgan: Oh, uh, just I moved out of dad's. Michael: Why? Morgan: It's no -- it's not a big deal. Just some issues. I just needed a break. Michael: Well, do you, uh, do you want to move in here? Morgan: Oh, no, no, no. No. I'll be fine. I'm gonna go stay with mom for a while, see how that goes. Michael: Are you sure? I got room. Morgan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be -- I'll be fine. But, uh, take care of the chef, though. You're lucky to have her. She, uh, she really cares about you. Michael: Is Morgan okay? Did he say what happened with my dad? Kiki: Not really. So, what happened at ELQ? Did Tracy agree to make the donation? Michael: Uh, yeah, I think it's gonna happen. Uh, I-I didn't talk to Tracy, though. I talked to Luke. Kiki: You did? Michael: Yeah. He said he's gonna try and convince Tracy. Yeah, I'm not -- I'm not -- I've never really been that close to Luke. He and my mom kind of have this love/hate relationship. I don't know all the details. I'm not sure I really want to know. But after AJ Was shot, he really stepped up. I understand now why -- why people are really, uh, loyal to him. He's -- can be a great guy. Kiki: Hmm. Yeah. He's great. Luke: So, you think ratting Ava out to Shawn will solve our problem? Julian: I honestly don't know what's gonna happen. But no matter what Shawn decides to do with that information, Ava is now out of my reach. I'm afraid I won't be able to put her out of own misery. So... if you want to kill me, you know, you might as well just get it over with now. Luke: Very tempting. But, unfortunately, I need you alive for now. But you're not off the hook and neither is that bitch of a sister of yours. Shawn: You want me to keep this from Sonny -- that you shot his girlfriend? Ava: Well, technically, okay, I did. But there's no reason to upset Sonny. We both know he's very volatile right now. There's no need to push him over the edge. Shawn: You want me to lie to him? Ava: No. I want you to refrain from sharing information, for his own good. Shawn: Hmm. No can do. Ava: Hmph. Well, that's a pity, 'cause I'm just gonna have to tell the police that it was Sonny that murdered AJ. Well, I'm sure that Carlos will be more than happy to retract his confession, especially because I'm the person who convinced him to make it in the first place. Shawn: You had your reasons. Ava: That's exactly my point. I kept Sonny out of prison, and I can put him in. Shawn: You would do that? Ava: Well, I don't want to. And if you play ball, I won't have to. I won't say a word about what Sonny did to AJ if you don't say a word about... what I did to Olivia. I'll take that as a yes. Now, if I'm not mistaken, we have a plane to catch. Sonny: You can't leave. You're the most important thing in the world to me. Olivia: [Sniffles] You should have thought of that before you had sex "accidentally" with Ava Jerome. Man, you broke your son's heart, Sonny, and you ruined anything that can be between you and me. Sonny: There's nothing ruined. What are you talking about, Olivia? Olivia: It's ruined for me. Don't -- don't touch me. I never want to see your face again. [Exhales sharply]
