Laura struggles to catch up with life, specifically her kids, after reviving.Finding out that Lucky is a cop sends her into gales of laughter. Sam tells Jason that she needs to find herself. Alexis is resigned to Sonny and Carly taking care of the girls, even if she's not happy. Ric continues to scheme with Lorenzo on how to bring down Jason, Sam, and Sonny. He also does not want to allow Sam to start back to work again. Instead of being angry that Carly is moving in with Sonny, Jax steps in to help after Sonny leaves Carly to deal with all four kids alone. Luke faces the fact that he never moved on from Laura, but he has Tracy to deal with, and that he can't go back.
Sam: Moving out, going back to work at the PCPD -- it's -- it's what I should be doing. I mean, it's actually a relief to feel so sure about something after all of the uncertainty that's been going on. Jason: Ok, I -- I support you, ok, and you can do what you want to do. But going back to the PCPD is -- is dangerous. Do not underestimate Ric. If you have to go back to work downtown, you just need to watch your back. Sam: I know. I know, Jason, and I will. I just cannot let him intimidate me anymore, or let one bad night of my life hold any more power over me. It's already cost me too much. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: I'm not saying a word without my attorney. Ric: Relax, Mr. Alcazar. You're not being charged with anything. I just have a few questions. Lorenzo: It's all been arranged. The computer tech is loading the flash drive with falsified evidence against Corinthos and Morgan. Ric: Good. It needs to look authentic. That flash drive has to be convincing enough to bury Jason Morgan. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: You did the right thing, ok, by kicking Ric out of your life. Look, just be smart. Let me and Carly take Kristina and Molly home with us. We'll do everything we can to keep her safe. Alexis: I know you think you're -- you're trying to help, but you aren't. You're just plain scaring me. So I -- I didn't think you two were back together, are you? And even if you were, I don't think it would be a good idea for you -- Carly: Look, this is only until you get out of the hospital. You can't expect Viola to go up against Ric, and Kristina and Molly need more than just a nanny. Alexis: Thought you were engaged to Jax. Why do you want to move back in with him? Jax: Well, I'd like to hear the answer to that. [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: I want the kids to see that I'm all right. They must've been very worried. Luke: Oh, they have been, believe me. Laura: Well, then what's the point in waiting, Luke? It doesn't -- Luke: Sweetheart, I know you're always going to think of everybody else before you think of yourself. Please, give it some time. Lulu: Mom? Laura: Lulu? Oh, my God! Oh! You're -- you're all grown up. What happened? How long have I been like this? Oh, my God. How long have I -- Luke: Sweetheart, it's going to take a few minutes to adjust. It's a big shock to you; it's a shock for them, too. Let's just try to stay calm, and give it a few minutes. Laura: No -- Lulu: I'm -- I'm sorry, dad. Robin said that she was awake. I -- I just -- I didn't believe it. I'm sorry. Luke: Shh. Laura: How long have I been like this? Lulu: Don't be upset, mom. Laura: God, my -- it's all right. How long? Luke: It's been four years, angel. Laura: I've been unconscious for four years? What happened to me? Nikolas: Maybe I should -- maybe I should get the doctor? Laura: No, please don't. I -- I want just my family. Please. Lucky: Listen, we're all here, mom. We're going to take care of you. Laura: I want to stand up. Luke: Are you sure you're strong enough? Laura: I want to try. Luke: Ok. Laura: Please, help me. Nikolas: They walked with you every day -- exercise, massage so your muscles wouldn't atrophy. Laura: I can do it. Ok. I love you. I love you, honey. Oh. Oh. Nikolas: Yeah. Laura: Nikolas? I love you. Nikolas: I love you. Laura: Oh. Oh, my -- my girl. Oh, my daughter. Oh. Luke, look at her. Look at our beautiful girl. Luke: I know. Lulu: I missed you so much, mom. Laura: I'm so sorry! Oh, God, I'm so sorry. No. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: Your enthusiasm is an inspiration, Ric, but if you don't dial it down a notch, someone's going to be on to you. You don't want that. Ric: Oh. Have you seen my life lately? This is what's left. We just need to stay focused. All you need to be concerned with is that I raided Corinthos' legitimate operations and confiscated all of his business records. I have a mountain of evidence. Lorenzo: If the evidence you have is from his legit operations, then all you have is that he imports coffee. Ric: Yes, but that's where your computer tech comes in. If he does what he's supposed to, then he takes that flash drive and he marries it with the other evidence. He is aware of what I need from him -- is that correct? Lorenzo: Yes. Tailed transaction records, money transfers, shipments, inventories. Ric, it's possible that one of your forensics experts could figure out that this evidence has all been falsified. Ric: No, no, no, no. They're not going to have any time to analyze it. I'll make a statement to the press that we have detailed evidence to get Corinthos and Morgan off the street. Mysteriously, it will disappear from the evidence locker and that trail will lead to Sam. Imagine, imagine my shock to realize that Sam McCall is still on the department's payroll and that she has security clearance that she left when she took the leave of absence to take care of her sick mother. Obviously, she stole the evidence in order to protect her ex- boyfriend. Hmm? Lorenzo: That's killing a lot of birds with one flash drive. Ric: Why waste time? Lorenzo: But you know that if you bust Sam, that Jason's going to move heaven and earth to save her. Ric: Oh, I hope so because by the time they reach him, he will be shot for resisting arrest. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Ok, what other plans? Sam: I don't know. I -- I told Kristina just now that even though I'm moving out, it doesn't mean that I won't see her all the time and I just -- I hope that that's what's going to happen. I just -- I can't be sure. Jason: Alexis knows how much you mean to Kristina. Sam: Right, and Alexis could also keep my sisters away from me, so I just -- I guess I'm going to have to find out when the time comes, but on a brighter note, I called Mike -- Jason: Mm-hmm. Sam: And I got my old room back at Kelly's. Jason: No, I don't want you going to Kelly's. Sam: Wait -- no, no, no. Jason: Come on. Sam: It's good, it's good because I'm going to save up a lot of money and I'm going to get my own apartment, one that actually has a refrigerator and a kitchen -- Jason: Ok -- Sam: Everything. Jason: Just let me help -- just let me help you. Sam: Thank you, but I can take care of myself. Jason: I know that. Fine. If you need anything, will you -- Sam: I know. As mad as I am at my mother, she's right about one thing -- I need to make it on my own. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Hi. Jax: Hey. Carly: Hey there. Jax: Huh. Carly: So did -- did you find Jerry? Jax: Not yet, but we'll find him before the wedding. Carly: Ok. Jax: I got your message. I came straight from the plane. What's going on? Alexis: Secondary infection, postponing the chemo. Jax: Oh. Sorry to hear that. That's not good. But it doesn't explain why Carly is moving in with Sonny. Alexis: Marriage is over. Ric moved out. Jax: How can Ric walk out on you now? Alexis: Hmm -- I threw him out. Sonny: Ric wants revenge. He wanted custody of Molly. He wasn't able to get it because Alexis stopped him. Carly: Ok, look, Sonny suggested -- with Viola, because he thinks Kristina and Molly will be safer with him and he wants me and the boys to move in so Kristina and Molly will feel like they're a part of a really big family, and that is why. Alexis: Don't like it. Sonny: What -- Alexis: You don't like it, do you? Jax: Well, actually, I -- I'd have to agree with Sonny. I think he should take the girls. [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: I missed so much. Luke: Laura, there was an accident while you were preparing for the wedding, and you had to be hospitalized. Laura: Was it some kind of a head injury or -- Luke: Yes, it was like that, but now it's ok. I mean, you're completely healed. Laura: I don't recognize this place. It -- it's not General Hospital. It -- Luke: No, this is ShadyBrook, just outside of Port Charles. They've taken very good care of you here. Nikolas: And we all came to visit you all the time, kept you up on all the news. Lucky: Yeah. Lulu: Did -- do you remember anything, mom? Did anything that we say stick? Laura: Uh -- uh, gee -- what did -- what did you say? Luke: You know, I think we should go through all this later. Right now -- Laura: No. Luke: You should probably rest. Laura: No, I don't -- rest. My gosh, I was asleep for four years? Lucky: I think dad's right. You know what? We don't want to overload you. [Laura sighs] Laura: No. Please don't -- don't leave me right now. I -- I want to hear something about each one of you, please. Lulu: I -- I wouldn't know where to start. Laura: Ok, honey. Um -- uh -- Nikolas, please, will you start? Hmm? Nikolas: Um -- yeah, ok, ok. Let's see, here we go. Laura: Oh. Nikolas: That little boy's name is Spencer. Laura: Spencer? Nikolas: He's my son, your grandson. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Fine, whatever -- take the kids. I don't have the energy to fight you anymore. Sonny: Alexis, you made the right choice. Alexis: Hey, you didn't exactly present me with a choice, did you? Carly: Hey. You're amazing, you know that? Jax: Oh. Carly: I'll see you later. Jax: Ok. I'll see you in a bit. Alexis: Bye, Jax. Jax: Oh. Alexis: I'll see you later. Jax: Stop it, please. [Jax chuckles] Jax: You're letting Sonny take the kids, huh? Must be pretty bad. So what's going on, because you never once mentioned Sam as an option for the kids? Alexis: Ric and Sam slept together. Jax: I'm sorry. Was it while you were in here trying to survive cancer? Alexis: Months ago. They didn't realize that I've known since it happened. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: I made you central to everything that mattered to me. And when you walked away, I -- I spun out of control and I'm -- I'm talking major self-destruct and I've got to figure out how to never, ever, ever let that happen again. Jason: I didn't -- I didn't mean to make you so dependent. I -- I wanted to help. Sam: And you did. But now I just -- I've got to figure out how to help myself. I've dealt with one major life moment after another, starting with Alexis finding out she was my mom and then I got shot and then fitting into this family, and I just -- all I could think about was how I could please Alexis or how I could hold on to you, how I could love my sisters, but I never -- I never dealt with it for myself. And that's something that I've got to do before I can share my life with you, hopefully, or anyone else that I care about. Jason: Do you need me to stay away from you? Sam: No. But I need you to understand that whatever happens with us in the future and -- anyway, I just -- I need to be myself first. [SCENE_BREAK] Luke: I don't want anybody else to know about this -- not Bobbie -- Laura: Oh, gosh. Luke: Or Lesley. Your mother needs time, as you can see, to adjust. Lucky: Dad, I don't spend that much time outside these walls. Luke: Well, make sure that your brother and your sister understand. Lucky: What's the big deal? Luke: Lucky, I've got reasons. Don't question me. Laura: He's a beautiful baby. Nikolas: Mm-hmm. Laura: I can't wait to hold him. Nikolas: Thank you. Laura: I went to sleep a bride and woke up a grandmother. Luke: Hmm. Well, you're still the most beautiful bride I've ever seen. Laura: And you still make my heart race. So, who -- who's Spencer's mother? Nikolas: Her -- her name is Courtney Matthews? Laura: Courtney Matthews -- do I know her? Luke: Do you remember Sonny Corinthos? Laura: Yes. Luke: His sister. Nikolas: Yeah, mom. You -- you've met her once or twice before. Laura: Oh. Uh -- are you still together? Nikolas: No. No, unfortunately she -- she died shortly after giving birth to Spencer. Laura: Oh, no. Oh, I -- I'm sorry. Did you love her? Nikolas: Yeah, I sure did. Laura: And now you raise this baby by yourself? Nikolas: Well, I -- I certainly try. Huh. Lulu: Oh, he tries -- he's great. [Nikolas chuckles] Lulu: He's a wonderful father, and Spencer loves him, and before you know it, he'll be back with Emily. Nikolas: Stop it. [Lulu laughs] Laura: Emily -- Emily Quartermaine? Lucky: Yeah, how about that? Laura: Oh. Lucky: The girl I used to raise worms with is the love of my brother's life. Laura: Oh, my. Oh. Oh. Well, what about you? Is there a love in your life? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: No, look, just document everything we know is missing, ok? I -- I just want to make sure Ric doesn't have anything he can use against us. I'll call you later. Hey, are you ok? Elizabeth: I'm feeling pretty -- pretty pathetic right now. I'm the one filing for divorce from Lucky, going on and on about how I'm going to be a single mother raising two kids on the strength of my character alone and here I am feeling sorry for myself because today is my first wedding anniversary, and apparently, I have failed miserably at everything I thought was important. And in spite of my determination to be independent and self-sufficient, I just can't help but wonder if Lucky even remembers. [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: Oh. What happened between you and Elizabeth? Lucky: Well, today is our first wedding anniversary. Laura: Oh. Oh. I'm not really surprised. Some loves are just meant to be. Um -- I wish I could've been there. Was it a big wedding? Lucky: It was great, but we missed you so much. Laura: Well, I'm glad I'm here now. And Elizabeth -- is she still an artist? Lucky: Yes, but she makes her living as a nurse these days. Luke: Yes, and there's more. Brace yourself, darling -- it's ugly. Go on. Tell her. Lucky: I'm a cop. Laura: What? A cop? Lucky: Yeah. [Lucky chuckles] Laura: Oh. Oh, that's funny. Oh, how could you do that to your father? Luke: I don't think it's funny. Laura: I do! [Laura laughs] Luke: I tried to disown him but, you know, he's independent, marching to his own drummer. Laura: Oh, yes, and he always was. Oh. You and Elizabeth, hmm? Lucky: Yeah. We've had our rough patches. Laura: Well, what marriage hasn't? I mean, your father and I have certainly had our share, but love finds a way. Lucky: Boy, Nikolas, he -- he beat us to the punch, but we're starting a family of our own soon. Laura: Elizabeth is going to have a baby? Lucky: Well, she has a son, Cameron. He's a great kid. I want to adopt him. And we just found out she's pregnant, too. Laura: Oh. Are you happy about that? Lucky: I can't wait. Laura: Great. A baby is such a blessing. When you hold your newborn baby for the first time, you feel like, "Oh, this is what love looks like." And it changes you, forever. You never, ever forget it. And you know that now, don't you, Nikolas? Nikolas: That's exactly right -- I do. Laura: And that's how I felt the first time that I held you. And you, and you. Oh, my three miracles. Look at you now. Oh, Lesley Lu, please tell me that you're not going to make me a grandmother, too, at least not yet anyway. [SCENE_BREAK] Det. Rodriguez: Hey. What are you doing here? Sam: Hey. I work here, remember? I just took some time off during my mother's illness, that's all. Det. Rodriguez: How is Alexis doing? Sam: Well, you know, she has cancer, she had pneumonia, she had surgery. Pretty much anything that could go wrong went wrong, but she's making it through it. She's recovering, I'm going to let her recover, and I figured I need to make a living, so unless you want to pay my bills, I got to be here. Det. Rodriguez: Hmm, that's all right. Welcome back, though. Sam: Thank you. Det. Rodriguez: I mean it. That temp we had while you were gone was pretty useless. Have fun. Sam: Wow. Ric: What are you doing here? [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: You can relax, mom. Lulu is not ready for those midnight changings and feedings and -- Nikolas: No, no. At least not in this point in her life, anyway. Laura: Well, no, I -- I hope not, not at your age, anyway. Lulu: Hmm. Laura: So -- you go to school? Lulu: Yeah, yeah. I -- I go to PCU. I'm not really that good of a student, but I'm really trying. Laura: College? Lulu: Yeah. Laura: Yeah. Gosh. By the time I was your age, I was already in love with your father. My mother always used to say to me that -- my mother -- Lucky: She's good, mom. Laura: Oh. Lucky: She's fine. Lulu: Yeah, Grandma Lesley's going to be so excited to hear that you're back. Nikolas: Mm-hmm. Lulu: Where did dad go? Laura: Uh -- he -- he left just a minute ago. Um -- that's typical. He'll come back. He always does. So, you have a boyfriend? Lulu: Oh, no. I -- I kind of have bad mojo in that department. Laura: Oh. Nikolas: What about Elvis? Lucky: Yeah. Laura: Elvis? Lulu: Oh, thank you. Yeah, that was doomed because I'm really high maintenance, and I -- I made him up. Yeah. Laura: Oh, dear. Well, don't worry, you know? One day, you will find just the right boy. And who knows? You may have met him already, only one of you doesn't know it yet. Lulu: Hmm. Nurse: I hate to break this up, but Mrs. Spencer needs rest. And the doctors need more tests. Lulu: No. Wait, that's not fair. We -- Laura: It's ok, honey. I -- I'm not going to go anywhere. Ok? Lulu: Ok. Laura: Bye. This has been really nice. Really nice. Nikolas: It's a miracle. It really is. Lucky: You have no idea. Lulu: Mom, I'm going to go -- I'm going to find dad and tell him to come back, ok? Laura: Yes, that would be nice. Lulu: Ok. Laura: I'll be home soon. Lulu: Ok. [Door closes] [SCENE_BREAK] Robert: You're going to need a quart of that stuff by the time your wife catches up with you. I have spent the entire afternoon with Tracy trying to calm her down. She's one very unhappy person. Luke: Oh, man. Robert: Yeah. Hmm. Ok, I'm ready. Lay it on me. Luke: Laura's doctors, Robin and Drake -- Robert: Mm-hmm. Luke: They brought her out of it. She's in there now talking to the kids. Robert: You said that was impossible. Luke: We thought it was. But Robin found what she called a miracle drug, and I had to take the chance. Robert: What are the risks? Luke: I'm not sure yet. It's complicated. I mean, you should have seen Laura's face when she saw Lulu for the first time and realized how much time she'd lost. [Luke sighs] Luke: We have to take it slow. We don't know what's going to set her off. I mean, at least Lucky is smart enough to keep his addiction to himself and the fact that his marriage is on the rocks. And even Cassadine is sugarcoating his stupid life. I just hope Lulu has the sense not to share her secret too soon. Robert: Ok, as I see it, Laura's back and she's going to help her kids, huh? Luke: Yeah. I'm sure she will. We just have to take it slowly. Robert: Hmm. Then I can assume you haven't told Laura you're married to Tracy. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Hey, you cannot break out of space prison! I'm disabling your shielding clone. Sonny: Hey, hey, hey, hey. That's got to stop. Carly: Michael, have a seat. Sonny: End. Carly: And say hi. Michael: Oh! Carly: You have company. Michael: Hey, Kristina. You want to try this? Carly: Oh, that's really not a good idea. Sonny: Uh -- Leticia, you know Viola. Kristina -- Kristina, you remember Leticia? Ok, that's Max. Michael: No, don't fire. Sonny: And that's Milo. Max: A pleasure. Milo: Oh, how do you do? Carly: Oh, Leticia, can you help Viola get Molly settled in the nursery upstairs? Thank you. Michael: Oh, what's this? Look at this. Leticia: It's a fun game. Max: Excuse me. Can you undo us, please? Morgan: Somebody found it for me while I -- Michael: Hey, we're playing space monsters. Carly: Oh, excuse me. Ok, well, I'm sure Kristina would love to play, so why don't you teach her? But please teach her in the playroom, ok, guys? Michael: Fine. Morgan: Bye. Carly: Oh, watch your head. Go. There you go. Go. [Sonny sighs] Sonny: Boys will be boys. Carly: Go. Michael: Go. Sonny: Max, can you get the car? Max: Yes. Michael: Go. Let's go. Carly: Oh, my -- you're not leaving. Sonny: No, I got a meeting. Carly: No! No, this was your idea. You have to stay here and supervise. Sonny: Yeah, but you're really good at that with the kids -- Carly: You are not bailing on me, Sonny. Sonny: No, I got to -- it's really important. I'll bring you some dinner. You watch. Carly: Ugh! Michael: Got you. [Kristina squeals] Carly: Oh -- Michael -- no, no, Kristina, honey, you can't play with guns. Michael, it's not a good idea. You guys can't play guns while Kristina is here. Michael: Why? Mom -- Carly: Because I said so, that's why! Jax: Hey. Hello. Hey. Huh. Carly: Hi. Jax: Need some help? [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: I took a legitimate leave of absence. The law says my job is waiting for me when I get back. So what is your problem? Ric: Well, your qualifications, or lack of same. See, your presence is based on nepotism here, not on your ability. Sam: Really? Then how did you get your job, Mr. D.A.? Ric: Oh, that's good. See, that's the other thing that we have to tighten up -- your insubordination. You're on the lowest rung on the ladder here, Sam. You will treat your superiors with the proper respect that they deserve. Sam: Oh. Sure. I mean, that's exactly what I'm doing, Sir. Ric: You know I can have you transferred to the sanitation department. Trash like you would get on very well there. Sam: Really? Well, I could charge you with sexual harassment before you file that request. Man: Mr. Lansing, Mr. Alcazar said I should deliver this directly to you. He said you'd know what needs to be done now. Ric: I certainly do. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Ok, I just got Molly down. If I could just get the rest of -- Jax: Hi. Carly: Hi. Jax: Hey. Carly: Did you let them run away? Jax: No, worse, I bribed them. I put them in the other room with video games and all the candy they can eat. They'll be bouncing off the walls shortly. Carly: You are so amazing. You are amazing. You showed up here and you rescued me, you know? And Sonny took off the second he got here. Ran for the hills. Jax: Well, it's a good thing I don't mind chaos. Carly: We've been engaged for five minutes. You come back from being out of town, and you find out I am moving in here. You should be furious. Jax: Are you worried that I'm not? Carly: No way. Are you kidding? I know a good thing when I see it. You should be freaking out right now. But instead, you came in and you saved me. Jax: Do you want to know why that is? Carly: I can't imagine why that is. Jax: It's because I love you, and I trust you. I trust you. Carly: Wow. So this is what that feels like, huh? Jax: Hmm. Carly: Ooh. Jax: Look, I know you're doing this because it's best for Alexis and her daughters. And it's really nice of you that you're willing to put up with -- with Sonny's -- well -- Carly: Inconsistencies? [Carly laughs] Jax: We can just leave it at that. You know, Alexis will probably never thank you the way she should, but I will. Carly: This is going to put a crimp in our romantic life for a while. Jax: Well, you'll get over that. I'm worth the wait. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Dad wants us to protect her. Because if mom realizes that she killed her own stepfather, it could take her back where she's been, and that's why dad doesn't want us to say anything about it. Nikolas: I -- I know. I won't go against Luke on this one. I just think keeping mom in the dark is not the solution. She's going to find out the truth sooner or later. And the longer we wait, the harder it'll hit her. [SCENE_BREAK] Luke: You hope and you rail at whatever cosmic forces reared up and kicked you in the head. You do whatever you can to survive. And then one day, you realize she isn't coming back. So you do what you can to move on. I got involved with Skye. Robert: Ain't you the lucky bastard. Luke: But this thing with Tracy -- I never thought I'd have to explain that to anybody. And then today, I looked in Laura's eyes -- man, everything is just the same. It's exactly like it was. I realized I haven't moved on. Some part of me has been waiting for Laura. And now she's back. And the weirdest part of all -- I'm afraid I'm going to fall in love with her all over again. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: So? Do you want to take off and go rescue your brother again so you don't have to deal with all this craziness? Jax: Hmm. Thanks for asking, but no. Carly: No? Jax: No, I'd rather stay here and just catch the sexy moments with you when no one's looking. Carly: Oh. Ok. Jax: Yeah. Carly: No one's looking. Jax: Thanks. Sonny: Uh -- excuse me. Carly: Go away. Sonny: Carly, listen. You don't understand -- Carly: No, you bailed on me, you left, so the rules have changed. You need to go away. Sonny: Ok, yeah, but what about them? Um -- up there, look. [Gasps] Michael: Ew. Kristina: Ew. Carly: You did this on purpose. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Sam told me she moved out. She's going back to work. Alexis: She's a big girl. She needs to take charge of her own life -- even if her choices are questionable. Jason: I'm not excusing what Sam did. She was wrong, and we all know that. But I can't -- I can't believe this works for you, either. Alexis: Why don't you just say what you want say. Jason: Can you forgive her? Alexis: Can you? Jason: I'm trying. I am. I'm trying to get past everything, because having a life with Sam is what I want. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: I heard you were back. Sam: Yeah, I took enough time off. I am ready to work. Mac: I'm glad your mother's feeling better. Sam: Thank you. Mac: Listen, Sam, I don't have a problem with your work ethic. But you have to understand that your connection to Jason makes you a security risk. Sam: Your D.A. is Sonny's brother. Is that a problem, too? Mac: Ric Lansing is under the mayor's authority. You're under my supervision. Before you took a leave of absence, a sensitive file disappeared here. Now, I think it's only fair to warn you that you're under heightened scrutiny. I won't put up with anything like that happening again. Especially if it involves Jason or Sonny. Sam: Ok, but I did not take anything then, and I'm certainly not going to take anything now. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: Did you get the flash drive? Ric: Yes, I did, and the data is perfect. Lorenzo: Will you be able to link it to Sam? Ric: More easily than I thought. The target played right into our hands. Det. Rodriguez: I thought you might want the first look at this. It's what we brought in from Corinthos' Pier 16 warehouse. Ric: You know what? You may want to run this by the forensics boys and make sure they go through it with a fine-toothed comb -- see if there's anything they should take a closer look at. Det. Rodriguez: Will do. Ric: We want these guys, Rodriguez. See if you can find anything that'll help us put Corinthos and Morgan away. [SCENE_BREAK] Robert: I -- I just don't get this. I mean, why are you so scared about trying with Laura again? Luke: What Laura and I had was not rational. It was -- extraordinary. Even divorce couldn't end it. We always found our way back to each other until she broke. And now -- there's no going back now. I've made choices, I've -- I've done things, I've moved on. And the past is gone. There's just no future for us. Robert: This is crazy. You've had what -- what amounts to a miracle just dumped in your lap. And you're trying to tell me that you want to dismiss it and walk away and forget it? I know you too well. There's something more going on here. [NEXT_ON] Diego: Beer's bad for the baby, isn't it? Michael: When can we go? Jax: Go where? Michael: Trick-or-treating. Mom said that you were going to take us. Ric: We can't risk tainting this evidence. Det. Rodriguez: Someone came in here, took the flash drive. Ric: Sam couldn't get out of here fast enough.
