Sam and Jason have their wedding as Sonny and Carly's house, with Spinelli performing the ceremony. Everyone happily gathers and congratulates them and Sam announces she is pregnant. Although the cops believe they found the correct suspect, for the pushing and attempted murder of Elizabeth, who is Hayden, Curtis and Finn are convinced otherwise. Curtis makes it clear to Valerie that although he respects her ability to be objective as a law enforcement officer, he knows Hayden better than she does and knows Hayden has been wrongfully accused. Meanwhile, as Hayden waits in the police interrogation room, for what will happen to her, her mom comes to visit her. It appears Naomi suspects it's entirely possible that her daughter did, in fact, intend to kill Elizabeth. Yet she promises to be there and not let Hayden get shafted. Right then, Franco has found out, from his mom Heather, that Naomi is Elizabeth's mom although she's never revealed it to anyone. Yet Naomi clearly has a plan and "agenda" involving her two daughters. Paul Hornsby is still lurking around the hospital appearing suspicious when he encounters Sabrina in the hallway. Ava comes by to remind Paul she needs his "help" with Julian's case, without which, she will have no incentive to keep his secret about being the hospital killer, after she's discovered the syringe and lethal drug in his hotel room. Valerie meets with Monica and Sabrina and informs them the cops ran the mysterious syringe which Griffin found in the trash, through forensics. Yet, she reports, the murderer knew how to destroy and remove all evidence, in order to cover his tracks, as she remarks this suspect is "no amateur". Right then, we see Paul, alone, "envisioning" himself following Elizabeth down the hospital stairs, the night in question, and pushing her. Right then, while Elizabeth is recovering in her room, Sabrina discovers her vitals do not look normal. She goes to inform Monica, who informs Sabrina, she'd like to give her her old job back as GH nurse. Paul overhears their interactions and is clearly suspicious. Right then, while Franco is with Elizabeth in her hospital room, and they talk and suspect nothing, suddenly, Elizabeth appears to go into cardiac arrest.
[Classical music plays as Sam & Jason's wedding begins.] Ava: Paul. You got a minute? Paul: [Sighs] I'm busy. Ava: Yeah, no, I-I know you are. You haven't been answering my calls. I was starting to think that you were avoiding me. Paul: H-how did you even know I was here? Ava: I called your office. I told your assistant that I, uh, am one of your lady friends and you left your briefcase behind. Where'd you find that young man? He's so terribly trusting. Paul: This is neither the time nor the place. Ava: I disagree with you. We are gonna talk about the strategy for my brother's trial right now. Or I'm gonna tell the cops what you've been doing with that little syringe of yours. [SCENE_BREAK] Finn: Thanks for meeting me. Curtis: Yeah. You said Hayden was in trouble. How much? Finn: Uh, well... she has been arrested for attempted murder. [Sighs] Curtis: Look, I know the lady is disaster-prone, but, uh, how'd she manage that? Finn: It's complicated. Curtis: Yeah, it always is. Finn: Hayden's innocent. Curtis: Okay, well, the cops clearly think otherwise. Finn: Well... [Sniffs] We're just gonna have to prove them wrong. [SCENE_BREAK] [Police radio chatter] Hayden: [Sighs] Stay positive. It's good for your immune system. [SCENE_BREAK] Naomi: From what I understand, Elizabeth idolizes her father. If you're the one to push him off that pedestal, you'll be the one breaking her heart. Franco: She's a lot tougher than you think. Naomi: Perhaps. But she did just fall down a flight of stairs. She's now in a hospital bed. Do you really think she's in any kind of shape to learn that her parents' idyllic marriage was just an illusion? Franco: I think she deserves the truth. Naomi: And that's a very noble sentiment. But sometimes, a clear conscience only helps the person who's been keeping the secret. [SCENE_BREAK] [Monitor beeping] Elizabeth: The sooner I get home to my boys, the better. Gram told Cam and Aiden what happened, but Jake still doesn't know. Monica: Oh, that's okay. Michael's gonna tell him right after the wedding. Elizabeth: Wedding? Monica: Oh, uh... [Sighs] I thought you knew. Um... Sam and Jason are getting married today. Elizabeth: N-no, I-I didn't know. Monica: Well, it's, uh -- it's just a small wedding. Just, you know, family and friends. It's at Sonny's house. Elizabeth: You weren't invited? Monica: Uh, yes, I was, but with the crisis here at the hospital, I just couldn't -- [Pager beeps] Monica: Oh, excuse me. Uh-oh. Um, I've got to get this. Uh, I'm sorry. Elizabeth: Weren't you invited? [Door closes] Sabrina: I was supposed to go with Michael, but I decided to visit you instead. Elizabeth: [Sighs] Sabrina: I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I thought you were dealing with enough. Elizabeth: It's okay. I... it's fine. I understand. It's just a lot to process. Jason and Sam are getting married. [SCENE_BREAK] [Classical music continues] Sam: [Kisses Danny & Jake's hands] Love you. [Laughs] Spinelli: Dearly beloved... Sam: [Laughs] Spinelli: ...We are gathered here in the sight of God and this company to witness Sam McCall and Jason Morgan reunite in the bonds of matrimony. Marriage is a holy estate not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but solemnly and with reverence. Sam. Jason. Are you ready to be married? Sam: Yeah. Jason: We are. Sam: We are. Spinelli: l look around, you'll notice this gathering isn't large. Your presence here shows how important you are to Sam and Jason and how important they are to you. Each of you is special to them in some way. You've each played a role in their lives. You've helped shape them with your love, your compassion, your understanding, your sisterhood, your brotherhood. You've helped them become who they are today. You've brought them here to join their lives for the rest of their lives. Each of us knows that Jason and Sam were made for each other. [Chuckles] Their love has surmounted so many challenges, but neither loss nor separation or misunderstanding could keep them apart. They are, in the truest sense of the word, soul mates. So, yes, we come together to celebrate their union but also to celebrate the end of their journey, the culmination of their journey -- journey to find the kind of love that we all yearn for or the kind of love that we are grateful to have for ourselves. It is my great honor to reunite you two as husband and wife. [Laughs] And now I believe the couple has prepared their own vows. Sam: We have? Jason: [Chuckles] Spinelli: Oh. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Are you okay? [Monitor beeping] Elizabeth: I still feel a little twinge when I think about Jason. I probably always will. But I'm glad he's moving on with his life, just like I'm moving on with mine. Sabrina: Wait, what? "Moving on" as in...dating someone? Elizabeth: [Sighs] It's -- [Sighs] It's in the very early stages. Sabrina: No. No, no, no. I'm sorry. You do not get to bury the lead like that. Elizabeth: [Sighs] Sabrina: Who are you seeing? [Breathes deeply] Franco. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: Figures. The one time I try and do the right thing, it turns out it's potentially the wrong thing to do. So I'll just wait here and sit until the universe tells me what it is I should do. [SCENE_BREAK] Hayden: Kindly, could you take me to my cell? I'm about to collapse from exhaustion. Officer: [Sighs] Hayden: Please. Officer: You have a visitor. Hayden: Who? Who in the world would want to see me? Naomi: Your mother. [Door closes] Naomi: Don't you worry, sweetheart. Everything is gonna be all right. [SCENE_BREAK] Curtis: So, I'm guessing with the blackout, nobody saw Hayden enter the stairwell. Finn: Thank you. Not that I know of. Curtis: Okay. Is there, uh, any security footage? Finn: Cameras were all down. Curtis: Forensic evidence? Finn: If there is any, I haven't heard about it. Curtis: Then what the hell gave them the reason to make that arrest? Finn: Well, Hayden found Elizabeth at the bottom of the stairs. A guy named Franco Baldwin -- Curtis: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Franco? That freak show? Finn: Exactly. Franco found Hayden standing over Elizabeth at the bottom of the stairs. Curtis: So, has anybody looked into the whereabouts of Franco? Finn: Exactly. But all the motive is on Hayden at this point. Several people saw her arguing with Elizabeth right before the blackout. Curtis: You know, that sounds very thin. Finn: Yeah, well, the cops don't think so. Curtis: All right, well, here's what I know -- sometimes, cops lock in on a suspect too soon, and they wind up building a case to prove themselves right instead of trying to find the truth. And I know this because I've made that mistake myself. Finn: Okay, that's good. That's good. What about Hayden? You think you can help her? Curtis: Well, I'm for damn sure not gonna sit around while she gets railroaded when I know she's innocent. Valerie: Is that so? Curtis: What are you doing here? Valerie: Picking up lunch. You know, on my break from railroading innocent people. Curtis: Uh, excuse me, homeboy. Can I have a minute, please? Hm? Finn: Oh, yeah. Um... oh, look -- a jukebox. Have a nice conversation. Curtis: Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that she was being railroaded. Valerie: You didn't imply it. You said it straight out. Curtis: Okay, well, then, I misspoke, all right? Look, I respect you and what you're doing. You and the PCPD, you guys are working really hard, by the book, but I know Hayden, and I know she ain't no killer. So somebody somewhere messed up and made a mistake. Valerie: No mistake. Your friend Hayden tried to kill Elizabeth Webber, and the sooner you accept it, the better off you'll be. [SCENE_BREAK] Hayden: You should probably know why I was arrested first. Naomi: I do know. Hayden: And? Naomi: I've already spoken to our lawyers. Now [Scoffs] It's not gonna be cheap, but they can beat these charges. They repped Bobby Durst, for God's sake. Hayden: He was guilty. I'm not. Naomi: Okay, okay, of course, they're going to want to know what, if anything, you told the police, whether or not you were properly advised of your rights -- Hayden: Mother, I'm innocent. Please, tell me you believe I didn't push Elizabeth down those stairs. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Franco? Elizabeth: At first, I just tolerated him... [Monitor beeping] Elizabeth: For Jake's sake. And then, little by little, we became friends. I'm not ignoring what he's done in the past, but he wasn't responsible for his actions. That's what the court said, and that's what I believe. I've seen the real Franco, the guy who's worked so hard to become whole. And we just have this weird connection. [Sighs] I tried to fight it. Believe me -- I tried, but we just couldn't. [Breathes deeply] Sabrina: I understand. Maybe more than you think. But just because you see Franco differently doesn't mean anyone else will. Elizabeth: Believe me -- I am well aware that I am opening myself up to becoming the town pariah once again. But if people want to judge me, then so be it. Sabrina: Well, other people might, but I certainly won't. Elizabeth: [Sighs] Sabrina: I did almost the same thing. I chose Carlos against everyone else's advice. I just hope things turn out better for you than they did for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: Tick tock, Paul. Jury selection starts in a couple of hours, and all I've heard are excuses. Paul: You might want to lower your voice. Ava: You -- you told me that my brother was gonna walk. Paul: He will. Ava: When? If you think you can stall me until he's convicted, you are tragically mistaken. Paul: I'm not stalling! I-I can't just drop the charges. It'll draw too much scrutiny. Ava: [Sighs] All right, well, then, what's the plan? If the trial is gonna go ahead, then how is Julian gonna go free? [SCENE_BREAK] Spinelli: Apologies. I-I had assumed that traditional vows would be too, well, traditional for this most unique and unconventional couple. Um, okay, just a little pause here while I, uh, do some research. [Chuckles nervously] [Light laughter] Spinelli: Let's see, uh..."vows." Jason: You know what? I think Sam and I can wing it. Sam: Yeah. Spinelli: Are -- are you sure? Sam: Yeah. Positive. In fact, I would like to go first, if you don't mind. Jason: Absolutely. Whatever you want. Sam: [Sighing] Okay. Hi. [Laughs] Jason: Hi. Spinelli: [Laughs] Sam: I love you. I have spent... [Sighs] Most of my life learning how to fight for myself. I wasn't used to having a partner, to trusting someone, counting on them to help pick up the weight, but that's what you do. [Sighs] You don't take away from my independence. [Sniffles] You make me more. [Voice breaking] You don't make me less. [Sniffles] You add to everything that I am. And you taught me that the greatest risk of all was letting another person into my heart. And you made me want to take that risk. Again. [Laughs] Jason: [Chuckles] Sam: [Sniffles] So I promised to love you unconditionally, and I will do that -- [Sniffles] To cherish every single moment we have together and to honor you and our family until death do us part. And beyond [Laughs] If that's possible. Jason: [Laughs] Sam: [Sighs] Jason: [Clears throat] I've waited too long to say this. I promised myself if I ever found you again, I wouldn't let you go. I love you, Sam. Sam: [Sighs] Jason: I love how fearless you are. I love your heart. I love how you're so loyal. I even love that you're the most stubborn person I ever met in my entire life. Sam: [Laughs] Jason: I love what a great mother you are. These boys are so lucky. They don't even know. And I love that every single part of you fits so perfectly with every piece of me, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And I promise to always put you first -- you and my children. And although I might not be one for tradition or their vows, I think these fit. So, Sam, I take you to love, honor, and cherish, for richer or for poorer, until death do us part. And beyond. Sam: [Sighs] Spinelli: Oh! Uh... will there be rings? Sam: Yes. Jason: Yeah. Spinelli: Oh, great. Sam: Yeah, so, uh, um... Jason... Jason: Okay. Sam: [Laughs] ...Please, take this ring as a symbol of commitment and my love to you. Jason: Sam, please -- Sam: ...To me -- [Laughter] Jason: ...And wearing this ring as a symbol of my love and commitment to you. Sam: [Sighs] Spinelli: By the power vested in me by the Church of Illuminating Wonders, by the sovereign state of New York, I now pronounce you... Sam: [Laughs] Spinelli: ...Husband and wife! [Inhales deeply] You may kiss the bride! [Laughter] [Cheers and applause] Jason: [Chuckles] Oh! [Laughter] Sam: Well... are you guys gonna leave us out here all alone? Molly: Oh, uh, may I have this dance? Spinelli: I would be delighted. [Both laugh] Michael: All right, well, let's -- let's do our part, too. Kristina: Try not to step on my toes. Michael: I'll try. Sonny: What do you say? Carly: I thought you'd never ask. Sonny: [Chuckling] Well, come on. Carly: [Laughs] Sonny: [Chuckles] Alexis: [Drinks] Singer: Oh, every single breath rushing to my head I'm yours forever Sam: Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait. Hold it right there, misters. Jason: [Chuckles] Sam: [Chuckling] What are you doing? Danny: Jake and I want cake. Molly: [Laughs] No, honey, you got to wait until the bride and groom cut the first piece. Danny: Can't you cut it now? Jason: Uh, can we? Sam: Yeah. Carly: It's your wedding. You can do this in whatever order you want. Sam: Well, I say cake it is, then. Carly: [Laughs] Sam: Yes? Jason: Ready? Sam: Okay. Jason: All right. Here comes some cake. Sam: [Laughs] Jason: Cake monsters. Carly: I want some cake. [Laughs] Jason: Um... Sam: I think we do it together. Jason: This way? All right. Sam: Yeah. Jason: Whoa! Sam: Aah! Jason: All right. Sam: Oh, nice. Jason: Look at you. Sam: So pretty. So nice. [Laughter] Sam: Jason, would you like to help? [Laughter] Sam: There you go. Molly: Aah! Sam: Beautiful. Jason: All right, kids. Two forks. One cake. Jake: It's vanilla. Sam: What? I love vanilla. Jake: Not chocolate? Sam: No, I like chocolate, too, but not for my wedding cake. Danny: But Jake and I like chocolate cake. Jason: Oh, you do? Sam: [Laughs] Jason: I'll tell you what -- when you guys grow up and you get married and have your wedding, you can have all the chocolate cake you want. Carly: Hey. Jason: That's vanilla. Carly: I have some chocolate syrup in the kitchen. After the bride and groom cut the ceremonial piece, I'll run and get some for all the chocolate lovers. What do you say? Jake: What's the "cemony" first piece? Molly: Watch and learn. Carly: Come on. [Laughs] Sam: [Laughs] Jason: Well... well, okay. Sam: ...We did cut it, so I guess we're gonna have to eat it now. Carly: Go for it. Jason: Mm-hmm. Sam: Um... Jason: [Clears throat] Sam: [Chuckles] Is it me first? Here you go. Molly: All right, keep it clean, kids. The table's too pretty for a food fight. Jason: Oh, God. Sam: Aah! Jason: I'm so sorry! I am so -- Sam: I'm sorry, too! [Laughter] Jason: Can I get that? [Laughter] Molly: Aww. Carly: [Laughs] [Applause] [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: You know, one of the things that makes you such a good nurse and such a good friend is how perceptive you are. Elizabeth: [Sighs] Sabrina: So when you say that Franco is different now... [Monitor beeping] Sabrina: That he's whole, then I believe you. Elizabeth: Thank you. Sabrina: Any time. Elizabeth: I've heard so many well-meaning warnings about him. It's nice to get some support. [Sighs] Is there something wrong? Sabrina: Your vitals seem a little off. I might be overcautious, but you know what? I'm gonna tell Monica on my way out. Elizabeth: [Sighs] Sabrina: It's very prudent, Nurse Santiago. Elizabeth: [Chuckles] You know, we miss you around here. Sabrina: Get some rest. I'll be back tomorrow. Elizabeth: I'm gonna hold you to that. [Both laugh] Elizabeth: Bye. [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: [Sighs] A murder trial is a long, involved process. There's jury selection. There's witness statements. There's evidence discovery. Each step is an opportunity for me to undermine the prosecution and tip the scales in favor of the defense. Ava: That sounds reasonable. But then, you tried to make doing business with arms dealers sound reasonable. Look how that turned out. Paul: Well, you walked away unscathed, didn't you? And so will your brother unless you open your big, fat mouth and get me arrested. Then, another prosecutor will take the case, which, by the way, is open and shut. Without me, Julian gets a life sentence. Ava: Fine. But I will be watching you. [Sabrina is eavesdropping] [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: It was a beautiful ceremony. Molly: Beautiful. Kristina: Beautiful. Sam: It was perfect. Alexis: Good thing I was wearing waterproof mascara. Otherwise, I'd be looking like a raccoon. [Laughter] Sam: Well, I hope they were tears of joy. Alexis: Of course, they were, honey. This is everything I could ever want for you. You have a man who loves you, and you have a man that you can trust. [Laughs] Sam: Mom. Alexis: Yeah? Sam: Are you okay? Alexis: Sure, I'm okay. I'm just, you know, a little emotional. It's my prerogative, right? I'm the mother of the bride. Who's gonna dance with me, huh? [Laughs] Molly: I guess we will. Kristina: Okay. Alexis: Aww. Jason: Thank you so much for flying out to officiate. Spinelli: What -- it was my honor and pleasure. Though, I have to confess to a little bit of surprise because, I mean, you've never been one for parties. Jason: Yeah, but this really isn't just a party. I mean, for Sam and I, this is a huge moment in our life together, and so this party, yeah, it's about celebrating with our family and friends, but it's also about them knowing how much they mean to us. We love you. And, also, you know, my kids, they're gonna be able to say they were here with us. Spinelli: Yeah, Jake and Danny are growing like weeds. Jason: Yeah. Spinelli: And Sam is, like you said, a remarkable mother. Might you two try for another child? Jason: [Laughs] W-well... yeah, well, maybe someday. [SCENE_BREAK] Curtis: Look, no offense, but I happen to know Hayden a little bit better than you, and she ain't gonna push nobody down no stairs. I don't care how much she might hate them. Valerie: Well, the evidence says otherwise. Curtis: What evidence? You got a few statements saying that they saw Elizabeth and Hayden fighting. You got word from Franco Baldwin t-that he saw Hayden standing over Elizabeth's body at the bottom of the stairs. That's not exactly airtight. Valerie: The investigation has barely started. We'll find corroborating evidence. Curtis: Well, you just make sure you work to solve the case and not to prove your theory right. Valerie: [Scoffs] In case you missed it, I'm not a cadet, nor am I a trainee. I am a full-fledged police officer. I was trained to be objective, to evaluate evidence. Curtis: Right. Don't you respect me enough to trust that I can do my job? [SCENE_BREAK] Hayden: Say it, Mother -- four little words -- "I know you're innocent." Naomi: Honey, the less said about the case, the better, until the lawyers get here. Hayden: You can't even say it. Naomi: [Sighs] Hayden: I didn't push Elizabeth. I wouldn't. I'm not a killer. I need to know that you, of all people, believe that. Naomi: Well, of course, I believe it. You know -- I'm just a little scared myself, frankly. All right, so, we just have to have faith that justice will be served, you know, with a little nudge from our legal team. Hayden: Oh, well, don't get your hopes up. I didn't push Elizabeth, but I did take those diamonds, and she knows it. And she can prove it. Eventually, Elizabeth is gonna turn me in to the Feds, and then I go to prison. And Elizabeth wins. Naomi: Hey. Listen to me. Nothing is gonna happen to you, because I won't let it. [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Can I help you, Ms. Santiago? Sabrina: I -- I couldn't help noticing your conversation with Ava. Paul: Mm. Sabrina: Should you be meeting her like that? Julian's trial's about to start. Paul: Uh... [Chuckles] Ms. Jerome is no longer associated with her brother, and for the record, I was admonishing Ms. Jerome not to intervene on her brother's behalf, hm? Now, if you'll excuse me. Sabrina: [Gasps] Monica: Oh! Sabrina: I'm so sorry, Dr. Quartermaine. Monica: Are you okay? Sabrina: Yes. No, uh, yeah, I'm fine. Monica: Uh-huh. Sabrina: I was actually just about to leave. Uh, actually, I -- I'm probably worrying too much, but you might want to check on Elizabeth. Her vitals seem kind of off. Monica: Well, thank you. Thank you. I'll have an attending look in on her. Sabrina: Okay. Monica: Um, before you go, I wanted to kind of chat with you about maybe rejoining the staff of General Hospital. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Mom, are you okay? Alexis: Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. When you gonna toss the bouquet? Don't toss it to me. I'll duck. But in case I catch it, I will hold it in reserve till after I'm divorced from your dad. Molly: Okay, Mom. Let's go get you some water, okay? Come on. Alexis: I'm not thirsty. Molly: No, it's okay. Alexis: Okay. Kristina: You know... Sam: What? Kristina: ...When I was hung over in high school, Mom opened up all the blinds in the house at 6:00 a.m. to teach me a lesson. Sam: [Chuckling] She did? Kristina: Mm-hmm. Sam: Are you gonna retaliate in the morning? Kristina: Mm, thinking about it. Sam: Hm. You should. Kristina: Can I get the bride a glass of champagne? Sam: No, I'm okay. Thanks. Kristina: Hmm. More for me. Jason: Wow. Carly: Oh! [Camera beeps, shutter clicks] Carly: Look at you three! I remember when Michael was a baby. Sonny: Well, don't look now 'cause he's all grown up and, you know -- Carly: And handsome! Sonny: Well -- Carly: And a nice man, and he has the two of you to thank for that. Sonny: Uh-oh. She's getting sentimental. I have to get her a piece of cake so she doesn't start weeping. [Laughter] Carly: Okay. Jason: You know, your mom's right. Michael: What, about me being handsome? Thank you. Jason: No, not about that. Michael: Oh. Okay. Appreciate that. Jason: You've grown up to be a fine man. And as much as I respect your father, and I'm sure he had a hand in it, most of it was up to you. And look at you -- you're loyal, you've got courage, and I've never seen you back down from anything. So, I'm very proud of you. Michael: [Sighing] Thank you. You know, I was, um, lucky to grow up with good people who loved me, including you and Sam. You know, I'm really happy you two found your way back together. And not to brag or anything, but I always knew you would. Jason: Mm. Michael: Oh, speaking of your bride, you should probably get back to her before Spinelli finishes his cake. Jason: That's a good idea. Michael: Yeah. I'll see you. Jason: Swoop! Sam: [Gasps] Jason: Hi! Sam: [Sighs] Jason: [Chuckles] Sam: Hi. Jason: How you feeling? You getting tired? Sam: No. No, not at all. I'm actually loving every minute of this. Jason: Yeah? Sam: Mm-hmm. Jason: Me, too. Especially this moment right here. Sam: Mm. Carly: Here we are everyone, everyone, take a glass, please, because I'm going to make a toast. Um... great. To Jason -- my first true friend. You deserve happiness more than anyone I know. And Sam -- it took me far too long to appreciate you -- [Laughter] Carly: It did -- and to see what everyone else could see, that you and Jason are a perfect match. Sam: [Sighs] Carly: You're loyal, kind, and you're a good friend. Welcome to the family. Sam: I will cheers to that. Jason: [Laughs] [Glasses clink] Sonny: To Sam and Jason, all the joy and happiness in the world. Spinelli: Indeed. Felicitations to the happy couple. [Laughter] Jason: Cheers again. [Laughter, glasses clink] Carly: All around. [Laughs] There we go. Spinelli: Oh, no, no! Oh. [Chuckles] Sam: Mm. Spinelli: Um, n-not to cast a shadow of superstition on the festivities, but it's bad luck to not drink after a toast. [Clicks tongue] Sam: [Sighs] Yeah. Carly: Well. Maybe there's a reason Sam's not drinking. Sam, you care to share anything with us? Jason: You know, I think they figured it out. Spinelli: F-figured what out? I seem to have lost the thread on this conversation. Sonny: Spinelli... Sam: Okay -- Sonny: She'll tell us when she's ready. Sam: Um... mm. [Laughs] I'm pregnant. [Laughs] Jason and I are gonna have another baby. How's that for a cheers? [Laughs] [Laughter] [Glasses clink] Spinelli: Give me that. [Takes her champagne] Sam: Thank you. Drink for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Monica: Well, as you may have noticed, we're a little short-staffed at the moment. Sabrina: [Laughs] Monica: And I can't promise you anything, but with your permission, I will present your case to the board. Sabrina: [Sighs] Monica: I really have to ask you -- are you interested in rejoining the staff? Sabrina: Oh, there is nothing I want more. [SCENE_BREAK] Curtis: Look, I absolutely respect you, okay? Maybe I was projecting, because I've made those mistakes in the past, which obviously doesn't mean you're gonna do that. Valerie: If you want to avoid making another mistake, stay out of this investigation. You have no standing, and you could easily wind up with an obstruction charge. Curtis: Is that advice or a warning? Valerie: A little bit of both. I'm sorry if I sound harsh. Curtis: Mm. Maybe just a little bit. Valerie: I'm a rookie and a woman. I have to fight really hard to be taken seriously. I don't want to have to fight you, too. Curtis: I get it, okay? Look... I'll make sure you won't have to, okay, ever. I promise. [Cell phone rings] Valerie: Mm. Oh, it's the station. I have to drop something off at the hospital. Uh, see you back at your place later? Curtis: I'll count on it. Singer: To keep you warm when it's cold outside Finn: You know, I, uh -- I couldn't help overhearing a little of that. Curtis: Oh, you overheard it, huh? Finn: No, I was flat-out listening. Officer Spencer came down on you, uh, pretty hard. Does that mean you're backing out of our investigation? Curtis: Quite the opposite, my friend. I'm all-in. [SCENE_BREAK] [Monitor beeping] [Knock on door, door opens] Elizabeth: Come in. Franco: Is this a bad time? Elizabeth: Not for you. [Door closes] Elizabeth: [Sighs] Franco: How are you doing? Elizabeth: [Sighs] I'm just woozy. It's expected with the meds. Where did you go? Franco: I went to the police station to confront Hayden. Elizabeth: Oh, please, don't tell me you made a scene. The last thing I need is for you to get arrested for harassing -- Franco: I didn't even get a chance to see her. But I did find some clarity. Elizabeth: About what? Franco: Well, I'm gonna tell you, but I have to warn you -- I don't think you're gonna like it. [SCENE_BREAK] Spinelli: Who have you told? Jason: Hmm. Sam: The three of you. My mom. Spinelli: This calls for another toast. Let me. Sam: Elizabeth, Diane. Carly: Oh. Sam: [Laughs] I was waiting to tell my sisters, because I know they're gonna go overboard. Spinelli: A sparkling water for you. Sam: [Laughs] Thank you. Spinelli: Um... to the beautiful baby Morgan. May he or she... Sam: [Laughs] Spinelli: ...Know nothing but bliss. Carly: Aww. Jason: Thank you. Carly: I like the sound of that. Sam: Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Finn: Officer Spencer seemed pretty clear about warning you away from our investigation. Now, I know less about women than almost anyone on the planet, but how is she gonna take it when she finds out you ignored her wishes? Curtis: [Sighs] Look, man, I respect Valerie and the work she does more than she'll ever know. She wrong on this one. Based on what you've told me and how I know Hayden, ain't no way she did this. Finn: I agree. Curtis: Well, then, it's up to us to prove it. Finn: That sounds like a hell of a plan. [SCENE_BREAK] Hayden: I haven't really seen you like this. Naomi: [Laughs] Like what? Hayden: Being protective. Having my back -- it's nice. Naomi: And it is long overdue. Hayden: I haven't always been fair to you, Mom. But having your support and your honesty -- it means everything. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: To be honest, this whole honesty thing is kind of new for me. I mean, it's not that I'm opposed to the truth, per se. You know, I'm not somebody that's gonna lie just for the sake of lying, but if it'll get me something, then historically I'll probably lie, so it's good you know that. It's, uh -- yeah. [Inhales deeply] The idea of doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do, that's kind of new for me. Elizabeth: You're stalling. Franco: You're right. I'm stalling. [Sighs] Okay. It's just that, you know, what I have to say is not something you want to hear... [Sighs] And you've been through so much. Elizabeth: Drawing it out is only making it worse. Whatever you have to tell me, I'm strong enough to handle it. Franco: Yes, you are. Elizabeth: Yeah. Tell me. [SCENE_BREAK] Valerie: Sorry to interrupt. I have an update on the syringe that was recovered. Monica: Ah, what did you find? Valerie: There were no prints, not even a partial. Monica: [Groans] Valerie: The syringe was wiped clean. Monica: You mean the killer went to all that trouble to wipe down the syringe and then just throw it in a wastebasket? Valerie: The killer may have been pressed for time, because of the police presence. The absence of prints indicates that the killer is no amateur. He knows how to avoid getting caught. [SCENE_BREAK] [Cell phone chimes with a text from Ava: "Hold up your end of the deal. Remember, I know everything you've done.] Paul: Not everything. [Recalls pushing Elizabeth down the stairs.] Elizabeth: Aah! [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: It's just -- it's actually pretty complicated, you know, I mean, like, how I found out, how the person I found out from found out. And I'm doing it again. I'm stalling, again. Okay. Hey. Elizabeth: [Breathes deeply] Franco: Elizabeth Webber, I regret to inform you th-- Elizabeth: [Groans] Franco: Elizabeth? Hey. [Monitor beeping rapidly, alarm ringing as Elizabeth passes out] Franco: Elizabeth? Elizabeth? [NEXT_ON] Carly: This has been a perfect, perfect day. Morgan (to Kiki): I screwed up again. Tracy (to Dillon): Decide what you want and go for it! Jason: Don't call me again. Spinelli (to Sam): It's impossible to imagine a better friend than you. Sonny (to Ava): You seem very pleased with yourself. Griffin: Code blue!
