Sam and Patrick suspect that Larry Ashton is in cahoots with Jerry Jacks. Larry calls Jerry to report that no one suspects him. Alice overhears him. Monica sees the newspaper article that reports that Sonny killed AJ and declares that she is going to kill him with her bare hands. Spencer tells Josslyn that her mother is in jail. Michael goes to see Carly and Sonny in jail. He tells Sonny to help him clear AJ's name in the murder of Connie Falconeri. He demands the recording of Ava admitting to killing Connie even though it also proves that Sonny killed AJ. Sonny says he will have Shawn deliver it. Sonny tells Carly to accept that Michael has cut them out of his life. Larry tells Tracy and Ned that the time to oust Michael as CEO of ELQ is now and place Tracy in the job. Tracy agrees. Michael walks in and tells everyone that he wants to drop the name Corinthos and use Quartermaine instead. At Elizabeth's home, Jake Doe is drawn to a picture of Jason. Cam stops in his tracks when he sees Jake and doesn't say anything when Elizabeth introduces them. Sam is also shaken after she talks to Jake. Patrick tells Jake that he has had brain surgery before. Jake wonders if the brain surgery caused the memory loss. The hospital board has news about Patrick's reinstatement. Anna threatens to arrest Dr. Obrecht for aiding and abetting Nina Clay and Madeline West when they abducted Ava Jerome's baby. Obrecht tells her to arrest her or get over it and go on with her life. Obrecht tells Anna to admit to what she did to Faison. Anna says Obrecht can badger her as much as she wants, but she will never find Faison. A federal agent asks for Britt's help in convicting Anna for corruption, fraud, and the murder of Cesar Faison by pressing charges against her. Britt declines, saying that if Anna killed Faison, then she did the world a favor. Britt wonders if Faison is really dead. Agent Sloane goes to see Dr. Obrecht. He runs into Anna in the hospital corridor.
Children: Milkshakes! Milkshakes! Milkshakes! Milkshakes! Milkshakes! Patrick: Okay. Okay, okay. You only -- you only get milkshakes if you're quiet. Children: Milkshakes! Milkshakes! Patrick: Did you hear me? Quiet. Or no milkshakes. Children: [Whispering] Milkshakes. Milkshakes. Milkshakes. Sam: Is this what I'm in for with Danny? Patrick: There's actually a system, okay? You give them a milkshake, they get a sugar rush, and then they get a sugar crash. Before you know it, it's calm. Trust me. Sam: I don't understand how you got wrangled into the whole babysitting thing today. Patrick: Have you forgotten that I am unemployed? Sam: Oh, yeah. That's right. Patrick: Right. Elizabeth had a work thing, and Nikolas had a surprise thing, and Carly... Sam: Carly has a jail thing. Patrick: Yeah. So, thank you for the assist. Sam: Oh, my pleasure. So far. Patrick: So far, yeah. Sam: Yeah. Patrick: Plus I thought it would give us some time to talk turkey. And by turkey, I mean Larry Ashton. [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: Jerry. No. No problems. Quite the contrary. The family have made no further moves at all to, uh, throw me out. As a matter of fact, they seem to have bought my cover lock, stock, and barrel. What? [Laughs] They think I'm a right drunk and old sot, as a matter of fact. Poor, old Quartermaines. They got no idea what's really going on. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: What is a six-letter word for someone who rages? First letter "M," third letter "N," fourth letter "I." Ned: Maniac. Monica: Damn it! Ned: Monica? Tracy: Ooh, they both work. Ned: What's wrong? Monica: I am gonna kill Sonny Corinthos with my bare hands! [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: You're saying you don't care if you go to prison? Sonny: Only thing I care about is that I'll never see my son again. [Keys jingle] Carly: Maybe you spoke too soon. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: I apologize. I've been a poor host. May I offer you a drink? Agent Sloane: No, thank you. I'm still on duty. Britt: I'll have a double. Agent Sloane: Look, I realize I've just dropped a very large bomb on you. Britt: [Chuckles] It's not every day a special agent with the justice department asks me to help bring down the police commissioner on charges of fraud, corruption, and... Agent Sloane: Murder. Britt: Right. Right. It's, uh, a lot to think about. Agent Sloane: Dr. Westbourne, the WSB is a rogue agency. It needs to be dismantled and reconstructed with all its secrets exposed, those who corrupted it and those who allowed that corruption to happen. No one will escape this purge. Not even Anna Devane. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: Commissioner Devane, what an unpleasant surprise. Anna: Haven't you learned? I'm your shadow. Dr. Obrecht: Haven't you got better things to do than harangue a law-abiding citizen and protector of the public health? Anna: You show me a law-abiding citizen, I'll stop haranguing them. Dr. Obrecht: Come, Anna. This should be a time of celebration for you. Your usually barren jail cells are now overflow with criminals. There's the unfortunately named Sonny Corinthos, his erstwhile lover Carly Jacks, that verruckte Heather Webber, and best of all, your own inamorato, the kilted crook Duke Lavery. You're full up. Anna: Oh, trust me. There's always room for one more. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: This is a really nice house. Elizabeth: Thanks. The boys will be home any minute, so make yourself comfortable. I'll get you something to drink. Jason: That'd be great. Thanks. Elizabeth: What you got there? Jason: Um, just looking at your pictures. I hope that's okay. Elizabeth: Why wouldn't it be? Jason: You're already kind enough to let me stay here. I don't want to invade your privacy. Elizabeth: Ah. Pictures are here to be seen. Jason: It's a good point. [Clears throat] I noticed this one. This is Jason, isn't it? [SCENE_BREAK] Emma: I'm so hungry! Spencer: Oh, my gosh! I'm starving! Patrick: Whoever wins the quiet game gets the first milkshake. Okay, good. You guys all win. Here you go. Here's some napkins, 'cause you'll need them. Sam: Enjoy. Cameron: When I grow up, I'm gonna have vanilla milkshakes all the time. Spencer: You would like vanilla. Josslyn: I dream of the day when someone makes a corn-flavored milkshake. Emma: Gross. Josslyn: You have no palate. Cameron: What's a palate? Spencer: It's what one uses to play croquet. You're so provincial, it's almost endearing. Cameron: That's a mallet. Spencer: That's what you said. Cameron: I said palate. Emma: Actually, he did. Josslyn: Sorry. [Chuckles] Cameron: Spencer doesn't know the difference between a palate and a mallet. [Laughs] Spencer: I wish I had a mallet right now. Josslyn: Anyway, if you have a palate, it means that you know what's good and what's bad. My mother has no palate for boyfriends. Emma: How was the wedding? Spencer: Breathtaking. We had ever so much fun. Josslyn: Especially when it got called off. No more Stanko. Emma: What happened? Spencer: Josslyn's mom realized that my Uncle Sonny's irresistible. Cameron: If your uncle Sonny's so great, why is he in jail? [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: So Jerry Jacks offers to hand over one of Tracy's husbands in exchange for a foothold in ELQ. Sam: Yeah, but instead of giving her Luke, Jerry gives her Lord Larry Ashton. Patrick: Who just happens to be available to be abducted at that very moment. Sam: [Chuckles] Patrick: Right when Jerry needs to hand over a husband in order for his bait and switch to work. Sam: What an amazing coincidence that is. Patrick: I don't believe it, either. I'm telling you, there's a stink about that guy, and it's not the booze. [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: Don't rush me, Jerry. I need a little time to get us into position at ELQ. Now, look, we've already amassed a fair portion of the shares of the company thanks to, uh, Tracy and Alice having parted with their shares, but it's not quite enough to wrest contro-- untwist your knickers, mate. Now listen. A situation has arisen that is going to land us a lot more than the paltry 15.5% of the company we already hold. I just need a little more time, and I'll get the rest. Alice: [Clears throat] [SCENE_BREAK] Monica: Sonny shot my son in cold blood. Tracy: Yes, he did. The truth is finally out, Monica. It's over. Monica: Oh, no, it's not over until I see him pay for it. Ned: And he will. You will. We all will. And from what I just read, he is not gonna get away with this. Tracy: Justice will finally be served. Doesn't that make you feel a little good? Monica: Well, I wish it did, but AJ is still dead. I don't have a son, and Michael doesn't have a father. [SCENE_BREAK] Guard: I'll give you a few minutes. Michael: Thanks. That's all I need. Carly: Oh, thank God you're here just for a visit. Michael: As opposed to what? Carly: I -- when I saw the guard, I-I thought that Dante wasn't able to keep his promise and he had to arrest you. Michael: Because I tried to kill Sonny? Carly: Michael, keep your voice down. You don't know who can hear you. Michael: I don't, uh, plan on spending any more time in prison. Unlike you two. But I needed to see you. I couldn't leave things the way they were. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: And what is the trumped-up charge du jour? Anna: Oh, for god's sake, Liesl, it's just the two of us, you know. There's no audience. Could you dial it back just a bit? Dr. Obrecht: There will be no dialing. I am naturally effervescent. Anna: Your niece Nina, she assaulted her husband, she held Ava captive, she induced her labor and took her baby, and you helped her to do that. Dr. Obrecht: All I did was allow my sister and her lunatic daughter to borrow my office. Is that a crime? Anna: Yes, it's aiding and abetting a fugitive. Dr. Obrecht: At the time, I had no idea what shenanigans she was up to. Anna: Oh, save it. Detective west already told me that you confessed to hiding them. Now, that's reason enough for me to place you under arrest. [SCENE_BREAK] Agent Sloane: Anna Devane is out of control. But I will stop her. It's my belief that, among other things, she conspired to bypass due process and summarily execute Cesar Faison. Dr. Westbourne, you are his only known next of kin. As such, you're best positioned to press charges. Britt: What about my mother? I mean, she'd be more than happy to help you crucify the commissioner. Agent Sloane: Your mother and Faison were never legally married. Britt: Which leaves me, the bastard daughter of a megalomaniac. Agent Sloane: I didn't mean to imply that. Britt: No, no. Uh, I like the way it makes me sound. I'll fit right in at family reunions. Agent Sloane: Dr. Westbourne, it would mean a lot to my investigation to have the victim's only daughter on board. What do you say? Will you help me bring down Anna Devane? Taking her entire record into consideration, I find Commissioner Devane's judgment to be suspect and her integrity to be questionable at best. And I believe she's a murderer. Britt: Maybe so. But you'll have to prove that without my help. Agent Sloane: I realize that all families have their problems. But Cesar Faison was your father, and you have an opportunity -- Britt: By DNA only. I had almost no contact with my father for most of my life. And what I did have I wish I could forget, a feeling shared by just about anyone who's had the misfortune of crossing his path. Agent Sloane: Regardless of his many crimes, he was still your -- Britt: Agent Sloane, if Cesar Faison is dead and Anna had anything to do with it, she did the world a favor. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: You're not going to arrest me, not after I provided my son with Magda and Nina's location. Anna: Yeah, that was after aiding, abetting, and obstructing. Dr. Obrecht: Were it not for my timely intervention, you would not now have my sister in custody. Anna: Oh, yeah. You acted with such marvelous expediency that by the time my people got to the rendezvous motel, Nina was long gone with Ava's baby. Dr. Obrecht: It's not my fault that your police force works at a snail's pace. Anna: Now all I have is Madeline Reeves, and I'm not really interested in her. Dr. Obrecht: Finally! Common ground! Anna: What I'm interested in is finding that infant. Dr. Obrecht: So am I. I am as heartsick as anyone about that baby's disappearance. Anna: Really? As heartsick as when you stole Lulu Falconeri's son? Dr. Obrecht: Gott in himmel. Let it go. You returned that child to your detective and his wife. I outmaneuvered your legal system as I always do. It's a draw. Anna: You know what? You're gonna pay for your crimes one of these days. I swear. Dr. Obrecht: Do us both a favor, Anna. Live your life or arrest me. Either way, get on with it! [SCENE_BREAK] Spencer: You must be mistaken. My uncle Sonny's above the law. Cameron: Not this time. Read it and weep. Spencer: This can't be true. Josslyn: It's awful. Emma: I'm so sorry, Spencer. Cameron: I love that you're so caring. Josslyn: I'm sorry, too. I'm here for you. Spencer: Thank you, joss. I'm here for you, too. Josslyn: What do you mean? Spencer: My uncle isn't the only one that got arrested. Your mom's in the pokey, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: The Quartermaines barely mentioned Larry, but I did a little bit of digging myself. Patrick: Find anything good? Sam: Long story short, he had a lot of dealings with a lot of lowlifes, but... Patrick: No connection to Jerry Jacks? Sam: I couldn't find anything yet. I'm gonna keep looking, though. How did things go over at the Qs? Patrick: Tracy said she'd let me know. Sam: She didn't buy his story, did she? Patrick: I don't know. She said she was gonna keep him close and do her own investigation. Sam: Do you trust her to do that right? Patrick: After what Jerry got away with, no. Sam: Oh. I didn't think so. Patrick: So what do we do now? How do we get to the bottom of this surprise visit by Lord Larry Ashton? [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: Hobson? Hobson, is that you? Alice: It's Alice. Larry: Are you having a laugh at my expense? I'm sure you're Hobson. Alice: Well, I'm sure I'm Alice. Larry: I could have sworn there was a Hobson. Alice: Well, there was a Dobson once. Larry: There you go. What happened to him? Alice: He was a woman in drag, all right? Larry: Are you sure that's not you? Alice: I am quite sure, miLord. Larry: Well, if you say so, uh, Hobson. Alice: Alice, all right? And by the way, when I was coming back from my run, I couldn't help but overhear you on the phone talking about getting all that you need or getting the rest of it. What's that about? Larry: [Chuckles] [SCENE_BREAK] Monica: Sonny and Carly spent decades scheming to undermine AJ. Well, they got their wish. He's gone. This time, it is for good, and look what Michael is left with. Two judases. Tracy: On the bright side, maybe Michael will finally open his eyes and see how contemptible Sonny and Carly really are. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Baby, I am so happy to hear that. But, baby, your father and I, we -- we've been so worried about you. Michael: My father? Carly: Look, I know that it seems impossible right now, but -- but you know what? The three of us have survived so much, and we will survive this. All we have to do is have some patience and we'll just sit down and we'll talk about it, okay? Michael: Talk about it. What do you think this is, Carly? A bump in the road? Sonny kills my father. You help him cover it up. And then what? We're just supposed to talk about it and all is forgiven? Carly: I-I know that it's going to be hard. Michael: There is absolutely nothing you can do or say that's gonna make up for what you've done. Carly: Okay, well, if you didn't come here to talk this out, why did you come here at all? [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Yes, that's -- that's Jason. How did you know? Jason: Just had a feeling. Elizabeth: Well, we did pass his father, Alan's, picture in the hospital on the way out. There's not a strong resemblance, but it's there. Maybe that's it? Jason: Yeah, it must be. You know, you have a great family. Elizabeth: Thanks. I think so. This is my grandmother, Audrey. You're gonna love her. Everyone does. My boys. There's Aiden, and that's Cameron. And this is my other son. Jake. Jason: So this is Jake? Elizabeth: Yeah. Remember I told you how fearless he was? He would run and jump and climb and ride on anything fast. And he always had this little scowl on his face, and people used to think he was angry all the time, but really he was the most even-tempered kid. Just very intense. Jason: He was a handsome boy. Elizabeth: Yeah, he has Jason all over him. His personality, his facial expressions. Even though they didn't spend a whole lot of time together, he was definitely his father's son. I couldn't look at Jake and not see Jason. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: I'll trace Larry's recent movements and see if anything overlaps with Jerry's, but if they are working together -- Patrick: Larry's gonna cover his tracks. Sam: He is a professional con. Patrick: Any other ideas? Sam: Yeah, I've got a few, actually. I think if maybe we track back to where he was in -- Josslyn: We have to go right now! Patrick: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Josslyn: We got to go. Patrick: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on right now? Spencer: The cops have gone crazy. They're arresting everybody and snatching our people up! Patrick: Hey. Emma. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: What will it be, Commissioner? Are you going to arrest me? If not, then I suggest you turn around, rescue that baby, then treat yourself to a new, less monochromatic wardrobe. Anna: I'm just not gonna deal with you right now. My priority is to find Ava's child. Dr. Obrecht: Then speak to Magda. I know nothing on Nina's whereabouts. Anna: I'll be seeing you. Dr. Obrecht: I don't doubt it. You are, after all, my shadow. Anna: Yeah, don't you forget it. Dr. Obrecht: This, uh, crusade you are waging against me, you're wasting your time. You will never hold me accountable for killing Victor Cassadine. Just as I will never be able to hold you accountable for killing Faison. Anna: Things change, Liesl. Dr. Obrecht: They certainly do. [SCENE_BREAK] Agent Sloane: I have to say, Dr. Westbourne, I think you're making a mistake. Britt: If Anna killed Faison, there's a 99.9% chance it was self-defense. My father literally stalked her for decades. He made her life a living hell. Agent Sloane: Imagine you didn't know Faison. Imagine you learned that an officer of the law took it upon herself to deny someone his day in court, to decide his fate outside public scrutiny and the protections afforded him by the constitution and the bill of rights. What's to stop Devane from doing it again? And what if next time she does it to a friend? A family member? Someone you do love? [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: I can only imagine what the mistress of the house would say if I were to mention your penchant for intrusion. Alice: Well, guess what? You don't have to imagine a thing, because Dr. Q is right inside there. Why don't we go on in and see what she says? Larry: Oh, by all means. Good morning, kith and kin! Tracy: It's afternoon. Larry: And a glorious one at that! Monica: I beg to differ. Alice: Dr. Q, why don't you and I take a stroll to the kitchen, where cook 2 is making you a fine lunch, and I'd like to entertain you with tales that only the household help doth hear. Larry: Something I said? Tracy: No, it's something you are. Larry: I just love your rapier wit, Tracy. Ah, why the long faces? Ned: AJ's murder was dredged up last night. Larry: I'm sorry. That's a terrible thing. It's just as well that Monica's not here. She's a little fragile to be part of the, uh, subject that I must now broach. Wherein we discuss the salvation of el-- [Burps] --Q. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I'm here for one reason and one reason only. My father. My real father. The one you murdered. Carly: Michael, you have to understand. Baby, Ava played Sonny, just like she plays everyone. She led us all to believe that AJ killed Connie. Michael! Michael: You know, it's about time I righted that wrong. AJ may have been acquitted, but everybody believed that he was guilty. So did AJ, and now all I can do for him is get him exonerated of Connie's murder, make sure everybody in this town knows that he was innocent. I am going to clear his name, and you are gonna help me do that. Oh, I love game night. Ooh, it's a house and a car! So far, you're horrible at this, [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: As you yourself said, no one is listening. It's only the two of us. Anna: Are you going to confess? Dr. Obrecht: I will if you will. Go ahead. Tell me exactly what you did to Cesar. Anna: Oh, God. Don't you ever get tired of having the same conversation? Dr. Obrecht: What harm can come of telling me? Even if I find someone and convince them to investigate Cesar's death, I'm sure you and Robert Scorpio left no evidence. So I would look like a fool or be deemed mad. Go ahead. Confess. Anna: Perhaps I should. If only to see the look on your face when I told you what we did to your precious Faison. Dr. Obrecht: Then say it. Spare no detail. Anna: Faison... is me. [Imitating Faison] Don't you recognize me, liebchen? I've been here all this time in my Anna mask, in my Anna suit. Come to papa, schatzi. Give us a kiss. Dr. Obrecht: You disgust me. Anna: [Normal voice] The feeling's mutual, you delusional cow. You're never gonna find Faison. You can wonder about it for the rest of your days. And you can badger me all you want. Satisfaction -- oh, it's a long time coming. [SCENE_BREAK] Britt: I'm sorry, but I can't help you with your investigation. Agent Sloane: Very well. I suppose I'll just have to go it alone. Nikolas: And you're gonna proceed without Britt's help? Agent Sloane: Anna Devane and her ilk have been allowed to run roughshod over the law for too long. The justice department intends to pursue this with or without Dr. Westbourne's help. Britt: Don't get me wrong. I think what you're doing here, cleaning up the WSB, it's important. But making it about my father after all of his crimes, maybe justice will be better served somewhere else. Agent Sloane: Thank you for your time. In case you, uh, change your mind. Britt: I probably won't, but if I do... Agent Sloane: I live in hope. Britt: [Chuckles] Agent Sloane: I appreciate the hospitality. Nikolas: Mm-hmm. Britt: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] [Door opens] Cameron: Hey, Mom, I'm home! Elizabeth: Hey, baby. Glad you're home. Cameron, this is the man I was telling you about. This is our house guest, Jake. Say hi, Cam. Jason: Hi, Cam. I think she meant you, buddy. Cameron: Hi. Jason: Hi. Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you. Good things. Mostly. Elizabeth: Hey. Thank you. It's funny. He's not usually this -- this bashful. In fact, he's never this bashful. Well, dinner's gonna be ready in an hour. Why don't you go wash your hands and get ready to do homework, okay? What's up with him? Patrick: Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's a sugar crash. Somebody bought him a milkshake. Elizabeth: Oh. Patrick: Sorry to interrupt. I, uh... Elizabeth: Oh, no, I'm -- I'm sorry. Patrick, this is Jake. This was our -- our John Doe from GH. Until Obrecht kicked him out. Now he's gonna be staying with me for a little bit until he gets his feet on the ground. Jake, this is Dr. Patrick drake. Patrick: Hey. Jason: Hi. Patrick: Nice to -- nice to meet you. I didn't recognize you without the bandages. Elizabeth: Dr. Drake is one of our neurosurgeons. He examined you post-op. Jason: Oh, well, okay. I appreciate you taking the time. Patrick: Yeah, of course. Um, yeah, I don't know if you remember this or if somebody told you, but, uh, when I looked at your scans, I found something interesting. You've had brain surgery before. Jason: Wow. That's a lot. Maybe it wasn't the accident. Patrick: What do you mean? Jason: Maybe the reason I'm having memory loss is because of the surgery. Did the surgeon leave any calling cards? I mean, they don't use serial numbers, do they? Patrick: [Chuckles] They don't. It's a good idea, though. Sam: Patrick! Hey, we need to go. The kids are getting restless. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: What do you, of all people, know about ELQ? Larry: Let's face facts. ELQ's CEO is a walking disaster. Ned: I happen to have faith in Michael. Larry: Uh, thus spake the man who, uh, betrayed his own mother to install the fellow in the first place. I've got nothing against this lad. He's a fine lad. But he's like a randy royal. He attracts nothing but bad publicity. Ned: And that's different from anyone else in this family how? Larry: Well, it's fine for you to sound cavalier, Ned, but you won't sound so cavalier when the shares in the company drop through the floor and the creditors come a-calling. Tracy: Okay, you still haven't explained how any of this has anything to do with you. You do not have a stake in ELQ. Larry: But our son and our granddaughter do, and I care about them very deeply. Tracy: What are their middle names? Larry: And I, for one, would not like to see their birthright piddled away. Tracy: Well, of course you wouldn't, 'cause who else is gonna pay for your assisted-living facility? Ned: Get to the point, if there is one. Larry: The time to act is now. We must save ELQ from disaster. We must overthrow Michael Corinthos. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Michael, why do you need Sonny's help to clear AJ's name? Michael: You told me that AJ made a recording of his final conversation with Ava. And on that recording, Ava admitted to killing Connie. Now, is that recording real, or was that just some other lie you guys told? Carly: It wasn't a lie. I-I...had a copy, but I got rid of it. Michael: You had to destroy any evidence that Sonny killed my father. Is that right? I'll take that as a yes. I need that recording, Sonny. I need to make it public. AJ deserves some peace in death. Carly: If you make that recording public, it will -- Michael: It will what? Dig Sonny's legal hole even deeper? I know. So I get why you don't want to cough it up. But you know what? That's just gonna be more proof of who you really are. A man with no honor who puts himself first and everyone else be damned. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: You're really going above and beyond. Elizabeth: It's not that big of a deal. Jason: Unless you're the guy who was about to be placed in a homeless shelter. Sam: Obrecht just tossed you out just like that? Jason: Well, to be fair, I was a three-time offender. I didn't have insurance, I pissed off Franco, and I called her Dr. O to her face. Patrick: Oh, she hates that. Sam: I know, but still, you were hit by a car. Don't you need more time to recover? Jason: I appreciate your concern, but I'm doing okay. And [Sighs] I intend on paying back Elizabeth for her kindness. Sam: Someone's got to do something about that woman. Patrick: Believe me, I plan to as soon as I find out if I'm getting my job back or not. Elizabeth: Any news on that? Patrick: Well, they called this morning, and the board came to a decision on my appeal. I'm on my way there. We just got to drop off the rest of the -- [Car horn honks] Patrick: ...Kids. We should go. Sam: Yeah. Elizabeth: Well, good luck. Patrick: Thank you. I'll let you know. Nice to see you. Elizabeth: Yeah, please do. Jason: Uh, so, uh, where do you want these? Elizabeth: Oh, you don't have to do that. Jason: No, no, no, I want to. Elizabeth: On the table. That's where we're gonna do homework. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Are you going to give me the recording? [Sniffs] I didn't think so. Not that I'm surprised. Enjoy prison. Sonny: If you want it, it's yours. Michael: You'll give me the recording? Untouched, unedited? Sonny: I'll have Shawn deliver it to you. Carly: Sonny. Sonny: It's a promise, Michael. Michael: Don't promise me, okay? Your promises mean nothing. Sonny: It's the best I can do, son. Michael: All right, I look forward to hearing from Shawn. That's all I need. Goodbye. Carly: Michael, wait. Michael: What? Carly: I love you. I love you so much. Sonny: I love you, too, son. Michael: None of you know the meaning of the word. Sonny: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: It's imperative that we replace Michael with somebody more likely to encourage shareholder belief and trust. Ned: Even if I thought that was a good idea -- and I don't -- who would replace Michael? Larry: Don't you want the job? Ned: I've had that privilege. Thanks. But no. Larry: In that case, I can think of one other person who might. Only one. Tracy: You don't mean you. Larry: Darling, I already have a job. I'm the, uh, presenter of a reality TV show, which is about to be picked up by sky one, called "lifestyles of the rich and bitchy." I'll set it up on your DVR. You're just going to love it. Tracy: I read. Ned: If not me, then who? Larry: There's only one person. Your delicate flower of a mother would be absolutely perfect for the job. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: You okay? Britt: It's just... I'm standing here actually worrying about my father, a man who's never given a damn about me -- or my mother, for that matter. And now I can't stop wondering where he is. Is he in pain? Is he really dead? Is it crazy if I actually feel bad for Cesar? Nikolas: [Chuckles] No one understands more than me what it's like to be a part of a demented family. You care even if you don't want to. So, no, I don't think it's crazy at all. Britt: And this thing with Anna. Nikolas: Look, I will support you no matter what you decide, okay? Britt: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Agent Sloane: Dr. Obrecht? Liesl Obrecht? Dr. Obrecht: Ja, that is my name. Agent Sloane: Special agent Kyle Sloane. Dr. Obrecht: Are you in need of medical attention? Agent Sloane: [Chuckles] Uh, no. I'm in fine shape. Dr. Obrecht: Then put my tax dollars to better use. Good day. Agent Sloane: Actually, I was hoping we could speak in private if possible. Dr. Obrecht: May I ask what this is in regards to? Agent Sloane: A cause I was hoping we might have in common. One by the name of Anna Devane. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Hey. Cameron: Is your name really Jake? Jason: Honestly, buddy, I don't know for sure. It's just what I'm going by for now. Cameron: Why'd you pick it? Jason: I guess it, uh, reminded me of something important. I know it's a big name to live up to around here. Cameron: I guess. Jason: I'm gonna do my best, okay? Maybe you can give me some pointers. What do you think? Cameron: What's in it for me? Jason: [Laughs] What's in it for you? Well... what do you want? Cameron: Will you help me with my homework? Jason: Homework? Buddy, my brain's shot, so history might be out. Cameron: It's math. Jason: Oh, no. Math. Math. Is 2+2 still 4? [Chuckles] No? Cameron: It's a little harder than that. Jason: Harder than that? Well, then we might be in trouble, but I tell you what. Let's give it a shot. Ooh. Fractions. Fitting. [SCENE_BREAK] Spencer: Ugh! Nikolas: Bad day at school there, buddy? Spencer: No. Britt: Are you sure? You look pretty down. Spencer: I've hit rock bottom. Nikolas: Again? Spencer: It was all going so well, more or less, until that little townie ruined everything. Nikolas: Yeah, well, why don't we, uh, go get you a snack and you can tell me all about it. [Grunts] [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: Yeah, there's nothing new out of Madeline Reeves, so we're back to square one. I swear, I might have to get medieval on that woman. [Chuckles] Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Thank you for coming with me. Need all the moral support I can get. I have no idea which way the board is gonna rule. Sam: Hey, well, at least you're gonna know one way or another. Patrick: Right. No more living in limbo. Sam: Mnh-mnh. Patrick: Get the answer and move on, right? Sam: Mm-hmm. Patrick: And then we can figure out what's going on with Larry Ashton. [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: Lest ye forget your mother has many, many years of experience managing ELQ. Ned: My mother nearly tanked this company with her marriages to Luke Spencer and Anthony Zacchara. Larry: Bygones, Neddy. Tracy: Uh, I hate to admit it, but I think your dipsomaniac father... Larry: Ah. Tracy: ...Has a point. Ned: Of course, you would. Tracy: I swear. This time I am only thinking of the company. Ned: Uh-huh. Tracy: ELQ needs somebody battle-tested to take the reins, which means we've got to get rid of Michael. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I got to get out of here. I got to find a lawyer, and I've got to post bail, and I've got to go find Michael. Sonny: What you need to do is leave him alone. Carly: How can you say that? You saw him! It's like we're nothing to him, like we're not even his family! It's like he's completely cut us out of his life! Sonny: Because he has, Carly. [SCENE_BREAK] Ned: Michael. How are you holding up? Monica: Oh, Michael! Thank God! I've been trying to get ahold of you all day. Michael: I'm sorry, grandmother. I wanted to be in touch sooner. Just things kind of took on a life of their own. Larry: Ah, this must be the, uh, dauntless leader of the family company, Mr. Michael Corinthos. Michael: You please not call me that? Larry: Call you what? Michael: Corinthos. Tracy: Well, if we don't call you Michael Corinthos, what do we call you? Michael: My real name. The name I should have had all along, the name I was supposed to have. My father's name. Not Michael Corinthos. Michael Quartermaine. [NEXT_ON] Michael: (to Tracy) Your days of messing with ELQ are over. Anna: (to Agent Sloane) What brings you to Port Charles? Liesl: (to Patrick) The board has made its decision. Jordan: (to T.J.) I have something to discuss with you. Kiki: (to Ava) You killed Connie Falconeri. Spencer: (to Nikolas) Uncle Sonny's in Jail! Sonny: I need you to do something for me.
