Sam wants to find out who the baby in the DVD Franco left is. The hospital bracelet says baby boy Moore. Jason tells Sam that is him as a baby and wonders where Franco got it. They ask Spinelli to look into it. Spinelli wonders if Franco is still alive. Jason reveals that he shot Franco but did not set the studio on fire. He says Franco's last words were "you'll never know." Sam and Jason tell Spinelli about the pregnancy. Jason has another episode. Carly bothers Robin while she is trying to find a drug regimen for Jason. Matt interrupts her too. He comes into the lab and talks, makes noise, and knocks things over. When his patient cancels, Robin encourages him to go to the benefit. No sooner than Matt is gone, Maxie barges in asking Robin to fix her life for her. Robin asks her what she did. Dolores asks Johnny to help her find the person that killed her sister. TJ takes a 6-pack from Kelly's and goes to Molly's, followed by a ton of other people that Molly doesn't know for a party. Dante overhears Sonny talking to Max about shutting down Johnny's shipment. Dante surmises that this evening isn't about the benefit at all, but about providing Sonny with an alibi. Carly tells Sonny that Jason is in the hospital. Sonny already knows. She wants to know why sonny didn't tell her. He Jason would have told her if he had wanted her to know. Johnny crashes the benefit, drunk.
Sonny: How's it going? Kate: Well, hello. Sonny: Do you look--I-I got to tell you, you are just something. Kate: [Laughs] Stop. Sonny: [Laughs] Kate: Keep going. No. You look amazing. [Both laugh] Sonny: Listen, um, I appreciate, you know, everything you're doing. I just don't want you to get stressed out. Kate: I'm not stressed. This is important for you. I just want it to be perfect. Sonny: Well, all I care about is the guest of honor, you know. Kate: Dante will be here. Sonny: I just want my son to know that, uh, you know, I'm grateful to have him in my life. [SCENE_BREAK] Ronnie: Let it go, Dante. We've been over this crime scene 20 times. Dante: Yeah? Well, we're gonna go over it 20 more times till we figure out who attacked Padilla and those other girls. Ronnie: Well, next time, can we, like, wait for a thaw? Dante: Why don't we just go over this again? Ronnie: Okay. Fine. So, Padilla comes, uh--comes out of Jake's, guy comes up from behind her, never sees his face. Same MO as the other girls. Dante: Yeah, except that before Padilla, he only went after dancers. Ronnie: Well, maybe he thought Padilla was a stripper. She got the body for-- oh. You're gonna act like you never noticed. Dante: Look, Padilla's my partner. When I see her, I see a cop, just like the attacker saw. Ronnie: Okay. You still think that this guy attacked Padilla to send us a message? Dante: I think he thought we were getting close, yeah. Ronnie: Close to what? We had a suspect. He's dead. Hell, now we don't even have a lead. Dante: That's why we're here. I think the attacker left something behind. [SCENE_BREAK] Waitress: Hi. What can I get for you? Delores: Just coffee, black. Please. Waitress: Okay. Delores: Thank you. Johnny: All right, so I'm gonna pretend that I'm not offended. Delores: Do you really want to be seen with a cop? Johnny: For you, I'd make an exception. Delores: I'm just doing you a favor. Johnny: Aren't you the one who's here asking me for a favor? So, we gonna talk, or we gonna pass notes like high school or what? Delores: [Clears throat] I need information. You said you're good at finding things out. Johnny: I am. But it ain't free. So how much is this info worth to you? [SCENE_BREAK] Matt: I mean, what is the point? Really? Yeah. No. I-it's like you put yourself out there, you bare your soul, a-a-and you just--you get this kick in the teeth! Patrick: Yep. Matt: [Groans, sighs] Are you--are you listening to me? Patrick: Nope. Matt: Oh, you know, Maxie, she is so completely insecure. Patrick: Matt, I am working here. I don't have time to listen to you about your girlfriend, all right? Matt: We broke up. Actually, I broke up with her. But I wasn't even trying to, you know. That's the thing. She just pushes and she pushes. Patrick: Okay, look. I am working. I am not a therapist. I don't have time to listen to you about your girlfriend breaking up. Matt: No, I'm worried about her. I'm--I'm concerned about-- Patrick: What? You're concerned because a woman can't handle being dumped by you? Matt: I don't know what she's gonna do. She's massively overreacting and--and --and, you know, which she could do, which she might have already done. I just need to talk to Robin. That's--that's the bottom line. I need to find her. It's not gonna take long. Patrick: Robin is busy saving Jason's life. She can't be interrupted by you or anyone else. [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: You need to leave right now. Carly: Not until you tell me how you're gonna save Jason. Robin: I already told you everything you need to know. Carly: He can't die, Robin. He has way too much to live for. Robin: What the hell do you think I'm doing in here? My nails? Carly: No, I think you're following all the rules and the procedures and taking the time to fill out all the proper paperwork. Robin: And you're the only one that cares about Jason? Is that it? Except the difference is, I'm actually doing something to save his life and you are in my way. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: This doesn't make any sense. Why would Franco send us a video of a baby? Jason: I have no idea. Sam: Jason, do you think he knows that I'm pregnant? Jason: [Sighs] We may soon find out. Sam: We have to figure out who that baby is. [SCENE_BREAK] Ronnie: Don't you have a ritzy party to get to? Dante: Yeah. Later. Uh...Lulu mentioned footprints in the evidence room, and I realized in the forensics report I didn't see any photos of the ground. Ronnie: It's been weeks. You think you're gonna find footprints now? Dante: Yeah. The night Padilla was attacked, it was mild. Every night since then, it's been freezing. And below and this whole area has been covered by this--this overhang, so any impressions should have been preserved. Ronnie: You know how many people come and go in this alley? Huh? Delivery men, busboys out for a smoke, drunks stumbling out of the bar. There could be hundreds of prints. Dante: Well, yeah. That's why we're not gonna search the whole alley for prints. We're gonna go exactly where the guy was standing. Lulu and I found Padilla somewhere around here. Ronnie: You sure? Dante: Yeah. She was lying here, and she couldn't move much 'cause the guy came at her from behind. Ronnie: So it's possible it could belong to him. Dante: Look at this. This one here, the edge is smeared, like--like the right foot was dragging. Ronnie: Signs of a struggle. Dante: Come on. You know Padilla didn't go down without a fight. [SCENE_BREAK] Johnny: Any word from your landlord about the rent going up? Delores: You shouldn't have done that. Johnny: I like to help people. Besides, you and your husband would have been priced out of that place in no time. Delores: We could have found another one. Johnny: Mm-hmm. Maybe. But not with an elevator. And both of us know how difficult it is for Eddie to walk up the stairs. Delores: Why are you saying that? Johnny: He's got that problem with his right leg from the construction accident. Delores: How do you know that? Johnny: [Chuckles] I know a lot of things. Just trying to make it easier for everybody. Delores: I never asked for your help. Johnny: But you're here now asking for it. Delores: Yeah, help finding whoever killed my sister. Johnny: [Chuckles] What does it say about the police department when they're coming to me for help? Delores: I've exhausted all official channels. Johnny: So you come to the unofficial one, the one you can't tell your partner about, huh? Delores: This has nothing to do with Dante. Johnny: [Chuckles] What? Are you protecting him or you don't trust him? Delores: Of course I trust him. He's my partner. Johnny: Yeah. So then, uh, it's the system you don't trust? Delores: I became a cop so I can put away people like the guy who killed my sister. Johnny: Hey, only the wheels of justice, they don't go 'round and 'round so fast, do they? Which is why you're here rubbing backs with me. I get results. I can get things done in a way your partner, Dante, can't. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Hey. Jason: No. No. Sam. Sam: No, no, no. Please. Once we've watched this, it's over. No more playing Franco's games. No more letting him into our lives. Jason: He's already gone. Sam: Okay. We need to get you better so you can be a father to this baby. Jason: That's--that's what I want, too. Sam: Whatever's on this disk, we throw it away. We never look back. Agreed? [Baby cooing] Jason: Wait a second. Sam: What is it? Jason: Do you see that, the hospital bracelet right there? Sam: Yeah. Jason: "Baby boy Moore"? Sam: Moore? [Cooing continues] Jason: That's me. [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: Just for once, Carly, can you make this not about you? Carly: This is about Jason, Robin. Robin: Oh, really? Then why isn't Sam in here with me? Isn't she his wife? Carly: Because Sam's with Jason. Robin: Oh, and you're in here with me. How lucky am I? You know, I really have all the time in the world to listen to your feelings and about how you don't want to lose your best friend. Carly: All I'm saying is that this project may be too big for you to handle alone. Robin: If you really want to help Jason, get out so I can get my work done. Carly: Then just tell me Jason's gonna be okay. Robin: Carly, leave, or I'll call security. Patrick: Hey. What's going on in here? Robin: Apparently Carly doesn't think that I can save Jason. Carly: I just don't understand why Robin can't call in some help. She cannot be the only specialist in the whole wide world. And maybe somebody else knows something that you don't and they can help him! Patrick: Carly, I am Jason's surgeon. I'm telling you that Robin is his best chance. She's the only chance he's got. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: All right. What do you think? This one? No? It might be too black. I wear a lot of black. Maybe I need something a little free-spirited, a little spontaneous. Molly: Mom, you've already tried every dress in your closet. Alexis: I know. You know what? Why don't I just skip this benefit? Molly: No. It would hurt Uncle Sonny's feelings if you don't show up. Alexis: He'll get over it. Molly: You know, you're always telling me I need to get out of the house and be more social. You should take your own advice. Alexis: I go out for dinner all the time. Molly: Yeah, with clients. That doesn't count. This is a party with people you don't represent. Alexis: Technically, I'm on Sonny's retainer. Molly: [Sighs] You know, Mac's gonna be there. Alexis: I know. Diane will probably be right on his tail wearing something cut down to here. Molly: Who cares what Diane does? Mac will love your dress. Alexis: You think? Not that it matters because he's a colleague. Molly: Oh, God. Here we go again. Alexis: We are friends. Nothing more. Molly: And whose fault is that? Alexis: I think I'll wear the blue one. [SCENE_BREAK] TJ: Who's that? Shawn: No one. TJ: Then why you staring at him? Nice outfit, by the way. Shawn: I'm going out tonight. TJ: Let me guess. A date with Carly? Shawn: It's not a date. It's a benefit at her hotel. TJ: She--she fine. I-I don't blame you for trying to get with her. Shawn: Don't be disrespectful. TJ: Wow. Touchy. Anybody ever tell you you're too serious? It freaks people out. Shawn: I don't care what people think. TJ: You care what Carly thinks. Shawn: Look, you spend a little less time talking back to me and a little more time on your homework, you'd get better grades. TJ: Then I wouldn't need to spend so much time getting tutored by the little genius. Shawn: Molly's a good kid. You can learn a lot from her. I'll see you later. TJ: Could learn a lot from each other. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: Hello, Max. Olivia. Max: Hello. Excuse me. Kate: What did you do to that dress? Olivia: What you talking about? It looks fine to me. Kate: You shortened it! Olivia: I just tucked the hem up a couple of inches. Kate: Liv, that is not what the designer intended. What? Was it not classy enough for you? Olivia: It was too...you. Kate: What? Olivia: Or too this version of you. The Connie I remember wouldn't have thought twice about pulling out some scissors and hacking three inches off the bottom to show off her legs. Kate: Well, Connie was a teenager, all right? I have grown up now with a party to host. Oh. This is a very important night for Sonny. Olivia: Yeah, it's all about proving himself to Dante. Nothing is more important to Sonny than his kids. Kate: Well, you know, he wants everything to be perfect, and I'm gonna be the one to give it to him. Olivia: Some things never change, hmm? Kate: What? Olivia: Connie never could stand a man caring about something more than her. Kate: [Chuckles] [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Nobody comes in here without you checking them out first. Max: You expecting trouble? Sonny: Johnny's on the warpath ever since I gave him the information about Claudia. He knows I'm gonna be distracted tonight, so, you know, it's a good time for him to strike back. Max: I've already upped security at all the warehouses. What more can I do? Sonny: Find out what kind of product that Johnny is shipping through that, uh, that channel. You know what I mean? 'Cause we got to shut him down now. Dante: I should have known. [Scoffs] Hey. So, tonight, this--this isn't about charity. It's--it's about you needing an alibi. [Scoffs] Who better to provide that for you than your son, the cop? [SCENE_BREAK] [Glass shatters] Robin: [Grunts] Damn it! Patrick: You okay? Robin: [Sighs] I was making progress until she barged in. Patrick: Robin, you can't let Carly distract you. Robin: What if she's right? You know, what if--what if I can't do this alone? Patrick: There is nobody more qualified than you. Robin: [Sighs] Patrick: Carly came down on you because she's scared. Robin: Well, she should be scared. I'm scared, too. I...what if I can't save him? Patrick: No, you can. Okay? Every doctor feels like this at some point. Robin: And every doctor fails at some point. Even after all of my years of studying and training, I still might not be able to save Jason and to let him watch his child grow up. Patrick: You're doing absolutely everything you can. Robin: What if it's not enough? Patrick: Robin, do you realize that you are everything that you planned on becoming? You are brilliant. You are excellent. But you are not God. Robin: [Scoffs] All the times I said that to you, I knew it was gonna come back to bite me. Patrick: Look at me. I believe in you, all right? If anybody's gonna save Jason, it's gonna be you. Now, you have to believe in yourself. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: I mean, I've never--I've never seen this before. Sam: Is there anything else on the disk? Jason: Just more of the same. Sam: So, that's it. That's the end. Jason: Yeah, that's it. Sam: Okay, well, I mean, I-I would have expected a lot worse. This is pretty harmless. Jason: Yeah, but what--what the hell does it mean? Sam: I don't know, Jason. Maybe he just thought it was funny. He's crazy. Jason: To send me a movie when I was a baby? I mean, where would Franco get something like this? And why would he send it to me now? [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: All right. What do you think? Molly: It's amazing. I love that color on you. Alexis: You don't think it's too blue? Molly: No. No, it's perfect, and don't you dare change again. You have a party to get to. Alexis: You seem awfully anxious to see me leave. Molly: I want you to have fun and maybe even dance. Alexis: I know. With Mac. Molly: That would be my vote. Alexis: I think maybe he has other plans. Molly: So, change his plans. You should be the one to ask him to dance. Alexis: I want you to go with me. Why don't you go? I've got an extra ticket. Molly: Yeah, I really have to study. Alexis: Yeah, but I don't like you staying here alone for that long. Why don't you let me call viola? She'll stay just a couple of hours. Molly: Mom. I'm 14. Girls my age babysit for other kids. Alexis: [Voice breaking] You're 14. How did that happen? Pretty soon, you're gonna go off the college like your sister and I'll be all alone. Molly: I keep telling you, you don't have to be alone. Do you want me to text Mac-- Alexis: No! I'm good. I won't be late. All right? Molly: It's okay if you are. Alexis: [Sighs] Enjoy your studying. [Door closes] [Computer beeps] Molly: Oh, check it out, Desdemona. Looks like some of your friends posted messages on your wall. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: All this--oh, I mean, w-was show. The donation, the big benefit--I mean, you're just trying to make people think you're something you're not. Sonny: No, it's--it's absolutely sincere. Dante: Oh, where--where you going, Max? You don't want to hear your boss get called out? Max: Dante, you--you really gonna do this here in front of everybody? Sonny: Max. Max. Go around. Go take a look around. You misunderstood what you heard, Dante. Dante: All I hear--all I hear is you talking about how much your kids mean to you. Sonny: You mean everything to me. Dante: No, they mean--they mean a way for you to get to do what you want to do. I mean, you always mean to save us or protect us. I mean, tonight, you meant to honor me, right? But I-it's just a bonus that--that you have an alibi now in case Johnny Zacchara turns up dead? Sonny: I don't care about Johnny. I'm just trying to show my appreciation to the doctors at the hospital who saved my son's life. Dante: Why didn't you--why didn't you write them a thank-you note or something like that? Sonny: When they brought you in, you were almost dead. Dante: I was shot--I was shot--I was shot in your warehouse by your enemies. Olivia: Could you two just take it down a notch here? Sonny: I'm just trying--hold on, Olivia, please. I'm just trying to tell you that what--what you overheard was not what you think it was. Dante: Sonny, what I overheard is--is you just trying to make something ugly look nice. Stop. No. I'm not gonna--I'm not gonna stand there and be grateful to him. Olivia: Dante, nobody knows better than me how many awful choices Sonny's made in his life, all right? But this thing that he is doing tonight, this is a good thing. Dante: Yeah, and that's exactly what he wants you to think. Olivia: Do you know he will save a lot of lives, this money that he's giving, honey? Lives like yours. Dante: What about all the lives he took to get this money in the first place? You ever think about that? No. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: Guest of honor doesn't seem too happy. Sonny: He overheard something he shouldn't have. Kate: Is he leaving? Sonny: Hopefully Olivia can talk some sense into him. Kate: Huh. You sure she's on the right side? Sonny: She knows me, and she, you know--I-I mean, I'm not perfect, but she knows how much I love my kids, and I just--I cannot--you know what? It's very hard for me to understand why they can't believe that. Kate: That's because Dante gets angry first and he thinks later. Little bit like his father that way. Sonny: I swore that my kid would never look at me the way I looked at my father or my stepfather. Kate: Sonny, you're not Deke. You're not mike, either. You didn't walk out on your kids for a card game. Sonny: I wasn't a father to Dante. Kate: That's Olivia's fault. Sonny: I don't care whose fault it is. I keep trying to bust that wall down, and Dante keeps trying to build it up. Carly: Sonny, I need to talk to you alone. Kate: This isn't a good time, Carly. Carly: Jason's in the hospital, and he could be dying. [SCENE_BREAK] [Door opens] Matt: [Grunts] Ooh. Sorry. Sorry. Hey. Robin: Hey. Matt: Patrick told me about Jason. How's it going? Robin: It's going. I'm still trying to nail down a protocol that will help reduce the swelling. Matt: Yeah. I'm sure you have plenty of work to do. I've actually got plenty myself. So...yeah, actually, a patient agreed to take part in the trial. He's being flown up from Dallas. Robin: That's great. [Chuckles] Matt: Yeah. Yeah. A chance to prove that my, uh, paper that I got published in the journal is actually effective, so... Robin: Well, I'm sure it will work out this time. Matt: Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. I just need to figure out why the technique hasn't been effective in previous trials. Robin: Matt, I-I really do want to talk to you about this. I just can't right now. I really need to concentrate. Matt: Yeah. No. It's fine. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're--you're absolutely right. I just--I-I ramble sometimes. And, well, okay, all the time, so I'm gonna--I'm just--I'll shut up. I'm just gonna get to work. You won't even know that I'm here, you know. Don't even--don't even worry about me. It's just like you're alone here. Robin: Hmm? Matt: Sorry. Sorry. Robin: [Sighs] Matt: What's wrong? Robin: I just--I can't remember which solution I just tested. Matt: Did you write it down? Robin: No, I didn't write it down because you came in-- Matt: Can I help? I can help. Can I help? Robin: I can't afford to be making mistakes right now. Jason doesn't have time for this. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Hi. Spinelli: The Jackal took the liberty of amassing some periodicals for you to read. Uh, several--several--several on motorcycles. A very formidable cate-- Jason: Careful. Careful. [Magazines thud] Spinelli: ...Catalogue of firearms and a-a basic yoga primer. See, I'm back into my practice now-- Jason: Thank you. Thank you. Spinelli: All right, so, I trust Stone Cold is on the mend? Jason: Yeah, I'm doing--I'm doing fine. Spinelli: And--and your past distress is...okay? Sam: Is, um... Jason: Mm-hmm. Sam: Okay. [Chuckles] Well, it--it was--it wasn't just cramps. I mean, apparently it's pretty common the first trimester. Spinelli: Oh--oh--a baby?! [Both laugh] My two greatest friends are having a wee one?! Sam: [Laughs] Congratulations, Spinelli. You are either a Godfather or an honorary uncle. We haven't quite figured it out yet. Spinelli: Godfather! Godfather! Oh, my gosh! All of the trials and tribulations that you've gone through, the symbol of pure bliss! This is ama- h-have you not just called me here to share the great news? Jason: Franco. Spinelli: Come on! Didn't they find him dead in the ashes of the studio? Jason: [Sighs] This was, uh, left half-buried on our terrace in the snow. Sam: Probably he left it while we were in Hawaii. Spinelli: Well, have you watched it? Sam: Um, it--it just seems to be old footage of Jason when he was a baby. Spinelli: Well, that's weird, even for Franco. Jason: I need to know where it came from and how he got his hands on this. Spinelli: Are you--are you certain it's not a fabrication? Sam: No, but it seems pretty real. Jason: And we--we need--we need to know for sure. Sam: Susan Moore, who was Jason's birth mother, if it's authentic, she shot it, but it doesn't explain why Franco has it. Spinelli: Okay, I'll--I'll dispatch friends of Spinelli right away. But just to be clear, this is for information purposes only, right? Jason: Yes. That's right. Spinelli: He's--he's dead. Right? No more mayhem. [SCENE_BREAK] Matt: So that's it? He's stuck? Yeah. Yeah. Why--why don't you tell that to his family, huh? Robin: Hey! Hey! Matt: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Robin: Pay attention! You just hit a bottle of nitric acid. If that comes in contact with potassium sulfide... Matt: Yeah. I know. That was--I--my bad. I'm sorry. Robin: I don't have time right now to lecture you on basic lab safety, Matt. Matt: You're absolutely right. It's just that my patient, his flight was canceled. He's stuck in Dallas. I mean, who gets stuck in Dallas?! Robin: It's a major hub. Everyone gets stuck in Dallas. Matt: Whatever. You know, it's just, like, my personal life is a disaster right now. Why shouldn't my professional life follow suit, right? Robin: Oh, come on. It's not that bad. Matt: Well, which part? Maxie or my job? 'Cause, you know, what Maxie did to Elizabeth, that was just downright-- Robin: Matt. Matt: Y-y-you--no. No. I shouldn't talk about it. I'm sorry. Not gonna talk about it. I-I just--it's terrible. It's terrible what she did. It's absolutely terrible. Who does that? Who does that? Robin: Okay, can you just listen to me for a second? Matt: You know, it's just because I don't give her the benefit of the doubt that she has a big problem-- Robin: Matt, stop talking. Matt: Sorry. Robin: Look... Matt: I can explain. Robin: Don't explain. I-I-I have to do this right now. Jason's life is on the line. Matt: I know. I-I-I just--I was trying to, and I-I shouldn't have-- Robin: It--it's okay. Now that your patient isn't coming, why don't you go to the benefit with everyone else? Matt: I should be supporting the cause. Robin: Better hurry. Matt: Okay. See you. Good luck. Robin: See you. [Door closes] [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Okay. Spinelli: Ooh! Ooh! [Both laugh] If you should have any quest-- just come here. If you should have any questions at all during this process, I am--am well-versed in--in every phase of gestation and parturition. Sam: Got it. Thank you. Spinelli: She is indeed glowing. Jason: I don't want her to worry about anything. Spinelli: W-well, communiqué from the grave is kind of the definition of worrisome. Jason: You should figure out when it was made and where it came from. Spinelli: Stone Cold isn't doubting that Franco is indeed deceased, right? I mean, you were kind of vague about the details-- Jason: I shot him. Spinelli: Okay. Okay, good. Um, well, what about the fire? Jason: Well, I-I don't know how that happened. But he did say something to me before he died. Spinelli: Rosebud? Jason: He said, "you'll never know." Spinelli: Know what? Jason: That's what we need to figure out. Spinelli: Well, as always, the Jackal is at your service. Jason: Thank you. Can you just keep that between us? I don't want her to worry at all. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: There's some kind of swelling in Jason's brain, and they're pinning their hopes on some kind of drug regimen. Sonny: They got every e-expert on it, right? Carly: Only Robin. Sonny: Well, she's the best they got. Carly: [Sighs] Look, I'm sorry to tell you all this right before your benefit. Sonny: I-I knew he was in the hospital. I just didn't know how bad-- Carly: What do you mean you knew he was in the hospital?! Why didn't you tell me he was in the hospital?! Kate: Why would he tell you, Carly? So you can blame him again? Carly: Sonny, Jason, and I--we're family, okay? Kate: Really? Carly: Yeah, "really." No matter how angry I get at Sonny, we're connected by our children. That's something you don't know anything about, okay? Sonny: Carly, lay off her. Carly: What if something happened to Jason, Sonny? What if something happened to him and neither one of us were there? Sonny: That was--that was Jason's call to make, not my call. If he wanted you to know, he would have let you know. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: How you feeling? I'm sorry. Do you want--want me to bring some soup or something like that? Okay. I'm--I'm just gonna stick around until I see this check handed off. I'd already be home by now, but my mother...made me stay. Look, uh, anyway, I love you. I'll see you--I'll see you soon. Okay. Bye. Olivia: How's Lulu? Dante: She's feeling pretty crappy. Olivia: I'm sorry she couldn't be here tonight. Dante: Well, I'm not. Olivia: Honey... Dante: What? I don't like being used, especially not by Sonny Corinthos. Olivia: I'm sorry this is so hard for you. Dante: Why? This is not your fault. Olivia: Yeah, it is. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: You look great. Carly: Thanks. I don't really want to be here. Shawn: What's going on? Carly: Jason's sick. Sonny knew he was in the hospital and didn't tell me. Shawn: Wow. I didn't realize. Carly: Yeah, well, that makes two of us, so I'm pretending like I want to be here at Sonny's benefit when I'm really worried sick. There's nothing I can do for Jason. And you don't really need to hear any of this. Shawn: Well, it doesn't mean I don't--I'm not willing to listen. Carly: You look handsome. Shawn: Why, thank you. You know, I didn't hear back from you. You didn't get back to me about us coming together. Carly: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just been, um--just been really busy. Shawn: Yeah? Carly: Yeah. Shawn: With Jason or Johnny Zacchara? [SCENE_BREAK] Delores: What the hell was I thinking coming to someone like you? Johnny: Someone like me or me? Delores: All you care about is how you can use this to your advantage. And here I was thinking you really wanted to help me find my sister's killer. Johnny: Why is that? Delores: Because you know how it feels. Your sister was killed, too. Johnny: You might want to get your facts straight. She wasn't my sister. Delores: What are you talking about? Johnny: Forget it. Delores: Yeah. I'll forget this conversation ever happened. And you can go back and do whatever it is that you were doing. I'm gonna go back and find my sister's murderer, and I'm gonna do it the right way. Johnny: Good luck with that. Let me know how it goes for you. Delores: Where are you going? Johnny: Someplace I shouldn't. with me hanging out with Johnny Zacchara? [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: Well, I'm concerned. Carly: Well, you're...always concerned. It's not your job to protect me anymore. Shawn: So? Maybe this is my new hobby now. Carly: Hmm. Seems like a strange hobby. Shawn: Well, it keeps me busy. Carly: I don't want you worrying about me. Shawn: Well, I care about what happens to you. Probably more than I should. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Why--why are you always sticking up for him? Olivia: Whether you like it or not, he is still your father. Dante: Yeah, well, at least I got to grow up not knowing I was his son. Olivia: Yeah, well, you know, it now. And you got to figure out some way to deal with that other than this nonstop hostility. Dante: He's a career criminal, ma. He only cares about his kids when it's convenient to him. Olivia: He loves you. Dante: [Scoffs] I-I'm grateful to you, Ma, for keeping him out of my life growing up. I was better off for it. Hell, I still am. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Hello, you. Kate: Hello, Alexis. Alexis: How are you? The place looks wonderful. Kate: Thank you. And it means so much to us that you're here. Alexis: I wouldn't miss it. The hours are billable. Sonny: Be careful. You're starting to sound like Diane. Alexis: No, Molly will be happy. She wants me to be just like Diane. Kate: In what way? Alexis: Never mind. Oh, there we go. Now the party's starting. Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Molly: "Desdemona, are you doing anything fun this weekend?" "Going clubbing with my peeps. Holla!" [Rhythmic knock on door] Hello? TJ: It's me. TJ. Molly: Hey. What are you doing here? TJ: Am I the first? Molly: First what? Kid 1: TJ, what's up, man? Kid 2: Hey, TJ. Kid 3: Hey, TJ. I got the beer. Kid 4: TJ! TJ! TJ! TJ: What's up? Molly: TJ, who are all these people? TJ: Your new friends. Molly: What?! Kid 5: Yeah! TJ: Thank me later. Molly: Oh, my God! You brought beer?! TJ: It's a party.. [Rock music playing] Molly: I don't--I don't know you! [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: The rate of absorption seems to be within acceptable range. Okay. [Hurried knocks on door] Maxie: Robin! Open up! It's an emergency! Come on! Can you hear me? Look, unlock the door! Robin: Okay! I hear you. Maxie, look, this is not a good time, okay? I'm in the middle of some crucial research right now. Maxie: Okay, well, thank God I found you, because my life has gone wrong and I need you to fix it. Robin: Maxie, I really do want to hear whatever's going on with you. I just--I can't right now, okay? Maxie: Don't you get cell reception here? Robin: I turned it off so I could concentrate. Maxie: You know, didn't you realize that some people might have to reach you? I mean, God, I-I called you three times and sent you two texts in the last half-hour, and you haven't responded. Robin: Maxie. Maxie: [Sighs] Robin: I-I am busy trying to save Jason's life. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Hey. I saw Spinelli on the way out, and he gave me a whole lecture on folic acid. Never once mentioned anything about you, so I'm assuming you did not tell him anything about your condition. Jason: It's just better to keep him focused. Sam: I was--was thinking that he was right, you know. Jason: About which part? Sam: There's just not really much to be gained by finding out how Franco got that home video of you. It's just--it really doesn't matter anymore. Jason: I just don't see any-- Sam: Hey. Jason. Jason: [Sighs] Sam: Hey. Baby, are you okay? Jason: [Groans] Sam: I'm gonna go get Patrick. [Door opens] [Hurried footsteps] [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: No offense, but aren't you kind of making a big deal over a couple headaches? Robin: Jason is suffering from a serious, possibly fatal condition. Maxie: Okay, look. I'm only saying this as someone who loves you, but...you kind of have a tendency to wildly overreact whenever Jason's involved, and, I mean, I think that might put a tension on you and Patrick considering w the fact that you and Jason were-- Robin: No, he's suffering from cerebral edema. Maxie: Right. Headaches. Robin: No. Cerebral edema, okay? If he doesn't get a specific protocol, then it's continued swelling in his brain. Maxie: I think you and Jason are kind of like me and Spinelli, you know? I mean, you still feel responsible for each other. Although Spinelli completely abandoned me tonight when I needed him the most-- Robin: Maxie, why are you here? Maxie: Matt and I broke up, and it's all Elizabeth's fault. [SCENE_BREAK] Spinelli: It is with great regret that I must withdraw my offer to escort you to tonight's festivities. I'm doing most-important research for Stone Cold. I trust Maximista won't be stressed by my absence. [Clicks tongue] Greetings, old friend. While my skills remain diminished, it is time to gets, back on the horse, as it were, and venture into cyberspace once more. Stone Cold is counting on . Oh. Who knew baby Stone Cold could be so adorable well, figures. Okay, it is up to the Jackal to find out how evil Franco obtained such prized and privileged footage, and the Jackal shall prevail. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Down. Follow this. Jason: It was just a head, okay? Sam: No, Jason. It was more than that. Patrick: Can you tell me what happened? Sam: We were sitting here talking, and all of a sudden, he grabbed his head and he was in terrible pain. Jason: It's gone now. Patrick: These episodes are gonna become more severe as the swelling in your brain progresses. Sam: Anything we can do to slow it down? Patrick: Robin's working on it. Sam: So, what? We just sit here and wait? Patrick: She's doing everything she can. Sam: W-what does that mean, exactly? How much time does Jason have left? Patrick: It's too hard to tell. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: I was trying to have a healthy relationship for once. Everyone says Matt's so great. He's a surgeon, and he's got some brilliant paper that's Matt's being published. We have fun sometimes. I mean, you know, occasionally. Robin: I don't see what this has do to with Elizabeth. Maxie: Haven't you seen her hanging around Matt. Staring up at him with those adoring eyes and pretending to be oh-so impressed with his research? Robin: [Sighs] Matt is a brilliant surgeon, but he's also very socially awkward. You know, maybe Elizabeth is being nice to him. Maxie: [Scoffs] Do you know what? This is your problem, Robin. You always see the best in people. You know, most people don't deserve it. Most people lie and--and...they cheat and they have ulterior motives and they--they have secrets. You know, most people just--h they--they're either really selfish and ambitious or they just--they're just really, really stupid and they don't think things through before they do them, and then before they know it, they-- Robin: Maxie, what did you do? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Um, I just want to thank you for everything you're doing. Kate: I like throwing parties. Sonny: Not just that. Kate: I know. Sonny: I'm very, very proud of you. Kate: Well, ditto. Sonny: And I don't care if my son gets mad or whatever. I'm not giving up on him. It's gonna be a great night. Okay? Kate: Okay. Carly: What the hell are you doing here? Sonny: Son of a bitch. Johnny: Hey, you know me. I love a big party. Carly: This is Sonny's party, and you've been drinking, Johnny. Johnny: Oh, come on. It's a charity function, right? I'm gonna make a contribution, and I promise you all, it's gonna be significant.
