Carly makes an emotional appeal to Sonny. Jason has no memory of his life or Sam. Allegra makes demands on Sam. Elizabeth survives her medical scare. Jax remains unforgiving towards Courtney. Nikolas thinks there might be hope for him and Emily. Sonny and Reese make love.
Sam: Jason, can you hear me? Don't worry. You're ok. We're going to get you home. Jason: Who are you? Sam: You passed out. Do you remember? Jason: No. Do I know you? Sam: You just take it easy. I'm going to go get the doctor, ok? Jason: What is this place? Sam: Jason, it's a clinic. My name is Sam McCall. You are Jason Morgan. You are my boyfriend. Jason: Look, I -- what happened? Sam: You passed out. You passed out. You were having really bad headaches. You passed out, and the doctors, they're trying to figure out what's wrong with you. Please, let me just go and make -- Jason: No. Sam: Please. I'm going to help you. I promise. I promise. Just -- just start by telling me what you remember. Jason: Nothing. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: You two didn't waste any time at all drawing up this contract. Ric: Well, nobody said you wouldn't be an asset to Lansing & Marshall. Alexis: Tell me again how you managed to get your name on the top billing? Reese: Oh, well, it's alphabetical. L comes before M. Ric: Yeah. Alexis: Oh, so then when I sign it, it'll be Davis, Lansing, & Marshall. Reese: Actually, Alexis, it's in the contract. You weren't a founding partner, so your name's going to be last. Alexis: It's ok. That's too bad. I'm not signing the contract. I've changed my mind. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I don't see why I had to eat the broccoli. Sonny: I'll tell you why. Because it's good for you. Morgan ate his, right? Michael: Ok, that's just plain weird. Sonny: Yeah? Maybe. But, see, Morgan and I, we like to eat things that come from nature. But you and your mom, you have to eat canned stuff. You know what I'm saying? Michael: French fries come from potatoes and potatoes are in nature. Sonny: Ok, you know what we're going to have to figure out? We're going to have to figure out to find you something that, you know, isn't deep fried that you can eat. What do you think about that? Can you help Max take Morgan to the car? Michael: Ok. Sonny: I'll be there real soon. Michael: Ok. Sonny: I'll be right there. Michael: All the way back. Sonny: What are you doing out here? Carly: Sonny, please, you have to help me. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Ok, why don't you just sit back and try to relax. Jax: We have to get her to the hospital. Elizabeth: I need a doctor. Lucky: Elizabeth? Nikolas: I'm going to call 911. Jax: No, the ambulance will take too long. My car and driver are downstairs. Emily: It'll be faster. Courtney: Oh, what if she's having a miscarriage? Nikolas: God, Courtney, don't say that. Courtney: Elizabeth was just trying to fix our mess and it just keeps getting worse. I mean, now the baby's at risk, Nikolas. Nikolas: I'm going to drive to the hospital. You want to come with me? Courtney: Did you see how scared she looked? I know how that feels when all of a sudden you realize that something is terribly wrong. [SCENE_BREAK] Monica: Elizabeth, how do you feel? Elizabeth: I'm dizzy and I'm still cramping. Monica: Ok, well, Dr. Meadows is setting up the ultrasound. Now, in the meantime, you just try to relax. The best thing you can do for this baby right now is be calm. You can take her to 417. Jax: I want to go with her. Monica: No, you can see her after we've run tests. Jax: I'm not just an innocent bystander. Monica: I'm sorry, Jax. Jax: I'm the baby's father. Elizabeth: Please, I just want Lucky. Lucky: Listen, I'm right here. Monica: Let's go, please. Emily: No, no, no, wait, Jax, look -- Jax: Come on, Elizabeth -- Emily: Elizabeth needs Lucky right now, ok? I know it's hard, I know you're worried, but the best thing you can do for the baby is wait here. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: He was in a car accident 10 years ago. He lost his memory completely. I didn't know him then, but his parents told me that he had cerebral edema. Doctor: Well, there's a possibility that the old injury could be contributing to his present condition, but it could also be completely unrelated. Sam: Ok, well, is there anything I can do to help him remember? Doctor: Well, most memory loss is temporary, brought on by emotional trauma. Now, my best advice -- talk to Jason about your life together, unless he becomes more disoriented and starts to panic. Then back off. Sam: Ok, well, that's good, because Jason, he doesn't do panic, so -- Doctor: Well, right now he doesn't know that. The most important thing is to keep him calm. Now, his symptoms indicate a serious condition, and we need to transfer Mr. Morgan to a better-equipped facility as soon as possible. Sam: Let me talk to him first. I want to see what he wants to do, ok? Thank you. Jason: Who are they? Sam: Michael and Morgan Corinthos. Jason: They're not mine? Sam: No. They're your best friend's sons. You don't have any children. Jason: I guess that's good. I'd probably scare a kid if his father showed up and didn't know him. Is this where I live? Sam: Yes, Port Charles, New York, Harbor View Towers, Penthouse Two. I live there with you. Look, the doctors think that this is just going to be temporary, ok, that I need to talk to you about your life and it'll trigger some sort of a memory and everything's going to come back to you -- Jason: What about the old injury, the cerebral edema? Sam: You heard us? Jason: Yeah, doctor says the symptoms are serious; they want to move me to a bigger hospital. Sam: It's just because this hospital is not equipped to treat you right now, that's -- that's all. Jason: Ok, just tell me about myself. How bad was the accident 10 years ago? What did I forget that time? Sam: Everything. Jason: But I got it back eventually. Sam: No. 10 years ago, your name was Jason Quartermaine and you lived with your parents. Jason: Same town? Sam: Yes. Port Charles, New York. Your brother, A.J., he was driving drunk. He hit a tree. It was a very bad accident; you were badly injured. Permanent brain damage. You don't remember anything from your childhood and nothing before. You woke up in a hospital room. Jason: Just like now. Sam: No. I think this is completely different. I think that this is -- oh, God. This is so complicated. Jason: Why does it say Morgan on my driver's license instead of Quartermaine? Sam: You changed your last name. After the accident, you didn't get along with your family, so you left home and you went to work for a man named Sonny Corinthos. Jason: The two kids in the picture -- their father? Sam: Yeah, that's right. Jason: My best friend? Sam: Well, Sonny's more like a brother to you. I mean, the two of you have risked your lives for each other. You've even been involved with the same women. Jason: Is one of them you? Sam: Yeah. I was with Sonny first and he got me pregnant. It didn't work out. So you offered to take me and then help me raise my baby. Jason: So you have a kid. Sam: She died when she was born. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. And you helped me through it. Now it's my turn to help you. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: It's a very attractive offer, and you're both excellent attorneys, but I have prior obligations. Reese: You're going to another firm? Alexis: I'm having a baby. To quote a wise, if overbearing, interested party, this is no time for me to be taking on extra clients and working crazy hours. Ric: Well, I honestly do think that it is best for the baby, and I'll help out as much as you let me. Alexis: How about being a Lamaze coach? Ric: Hey, I'm game if you are. Alexis: And storytelling. I want the baby to know your voice, and Kristina misses story time. Ric: I'll be there 7:00 every night. I'll even bring ice cream. Alexis: Oh, you don't need to do that. I don't need any of that. Ric: Oh, come on. You look fantastic. Besides, you and the baby deserve the best of everything, and that includes toffee almond crunch. Alexis: Hmm. Reese: Ok, you know, this isn't exactly the partnership that we came here to negotiate, but it's cause for celebration anyway, so I've got champagne and sparkling cider in the fridge and -- [Phone rings] Ric: Oh, well, you know what? Why don't you answer the phone? I'll -- Reese: Right. It's in the fridge. Ric: Ok. Thanks. Reese: Hello. Look, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now. Can I just get back to you on this tomorrow? All right, yeah. Thanks for calling. Alexis: Expecting a phone call? Reese: Is it that obvious? Alexis: To someone who's been there, yes. Reese: Oh, Alexis, I'm sure you probably heard that Sonny and I broke up, and it's -- here I am just waiting for a phone call where he's going to want to start over. It's just ridiculous. Alexis: And yet you're going to wait anyway? Reese: Well, it's a process, you know, and it's -- it's going to get easier over time. Alexis: That's what I told myself. But, of course, I was pregnant at the time, which made it more difficult, but to be perfectly honest, I probably would have had a hard time anyway. Reese: Yeah, well, at least you didn't lie to Sonny -- or it wasn't the reason that you broke up, anyway. Alexis: Think about what you just said. Sonny is a gangster. Most of his life is a lie, yet he holds all the people around him to the standard of absolute truth. There is no winning with Sonny. That was a painful, hard lesson that I had to learn, and I hope that you can learn that too, because if you don't he can literally drive you insane. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Carly, why don't you go in and sit right -- Carly: No, no, I -- Mike is mad at me because of the fight with Reese. He still blames me for wrecking the place. Sonny: I paid the damages, Carly. Carly: I know, and you still blame me, too. Sonny: You and Reese have plenty of reason to hate each other, but it doesn't mean you have the right to tear down Mike's place. Carly: I'm in my apartment now, and I want to see my boys, but they don't want to see me. My babies are afraid of me. Sonny: Ok, Carly, Michael didn't want to go to the picnic because he could tell that you were upset. Carly: He thought that Morgan would be scared by me, and then I got mad at him. I don't even know, why did I do that, Sonny? I don't even know why. No wonder he thinks that he has to protect Morgan from me. Sonny: No, listen, listen, that's not what Michael thinks, ok? He's just going through a lot because of what A.J. put him through. Carly: Is he still having nightmares? Sonny: No, not many. He's calming down. You know what I mean? And that's what he needs. He needs a routine, people he can count on, that's all. Carly: But not his mother? Sonny: That's not what I said. Carly: No, but that's what you're saying, though, isn't it? I mean, that's why my kids upset me -- or -- I'm sorry. Sonny: What? Carly: I upset my kids. Sonny: Right. Carly: That's what you're saying? Sonny: No, that's not what -- Carly: No, that's why they don't want to live with me. Sonny: Ok, listen to me. If you want the kids to move back into -- Carly: I just want to see them, ok? I just want to see them. I just want them -- I don't want them to be mad at me. Sonny: They're not mad at you. They're just kids. They don't understand what -- what's going on with you. One minute you're with Alcazar, one minute you're not. Carly: Ok, Sonny -- Sonny: So they're just confused. Carly: Sonny, I just want you to talk to them for me, ok? Could you just talk to Michael for me? Just tell him that I love him and that I want to see him. Sonny: You talk to him yourself. Carly: No, I really think that it needs to come from you. Could you please talk to Michael for me? Could you just tell him that no matter how many mistakes I've made that I'm still his mother and that I love him? Sonny: Ok, I'll talk to him. Carly: Thanks. Ok, thanks. Sonny: Where are you going? Carly: Shopping, so when I go visit the boys I can bring them some presents. A little bribery never hurts. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: How's Elizabeth? Emily: Dr. Meadows is doing an ultrasound, and they're supposed to let us know as soon as they have the results. Nikolas: Good. Is Lucky with her? Emily: Yeah. She needed him. Nikolas: Good, then. Then they'll both get through this. Jax: It's my child. Nikolas: Yes, Jax, we're all aware of that by now, thank you. Emily: Ok, I'm going to go find my mother and see if she's heard anything, ok? Jax: What a truly gracious woman Emily is. Nikolas: Her and Elizabeth have been friends for a long time. Jax: Are you really that blind? Courtney: Jax, don't. Jax: Emily didn't want you and Courtney to feel uncomfortable. That's why she left, ok? She wants things to be ok for her cheating husband and his new girlfriend. Nikolas: Courtney's not my girlfriend, Jax. Jax: Well, that must be a crushing disappointment. Courtney: Jax, stop it. Look, I am scared for the baby, too. Jax: Since when? Nikolas: My God -- obviously you blame Courtney and me for this, but Elizabeth is in the hospital because you put her there. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: So I saw mama, right? Michael: Mm-hmm. Sonny: After you and Morgan left with Max. Michael: Hey, is she still mad at me for not going on the picnic? Sonny: She's not mad at you. She's just disappointed, because she set up this whole picnic and you didn't want to go. Why didn't you want to go? Michael: I -- I don't know. Sonny: I mean, do you know -- she's been through a lot. You know what I'm saying? And I know your mama's made a lot of mistakes. Michael: Like marrying Mr. Alcazar. Sonny: Well, yeah, and I know that hurt your feelings because you don't like Mr. Alcazar and you didn't want her to marry him and she did anyway, but you know what? She was alone, she was scared, and she felt like it was the right thing to do. You got to understand something, Mike. Look at me. This might be a little complicated for you, but when we thought that you were dead, the bottom dropped out of our world and everything that was good and safe just disappeared, you know? And it takes a lot to get over that. I mean -- I mean, your mama hasn't really done it, you know, yet, and you haven't either, right? Michael: What about you? Sonny: What about me? Let me tell you something. Every day, I thank God that you and Morgan are living here with me, ok, and Kristina's with her mother and I got nothing to worry about, but I got to be honest with you. There are times when I ask Max and Leticia to go check on you, and I even go check on you quite a bit. So, yeah, I haven't completely gotten over it, but I'm one of the lucky ones. You know why? Michael: Why? Sonny: Because you guys are all safe and here at home. Your mama is living in an apartment and she misses you just like you miss her. Michael: Well, if you and mom were still married, she could live here. Sonny: We're not married, Mike. Michael: Because she lied about Kristina. Sonny: Ok, you know what? Your mama lied about Kristina because she felt it was the right thing to do. I don't agree with it, but I can't forgive her. That's something wrong in me. I don't want you to be like me. I don't want you to ever shut down on anyone, especially your mama. So if this is about us getting divorced, you need to let it go and you need to forgive her. Michael: Why do I have to forgive and you don't? Alexis: It's a good question. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Did you pass any stairs on the way in? Sam: What? Jason: We're on the third floor. Is the stairwell to the left or to the right? Sam: I don't know. I didn't notice. I was too busy worrying about you. Can you please lay down, Jason? I don't want you to pass out again, please. Jason: Ok, what business -- what business are we in? Sam: I don't know what you mean. Jason: Me and this Sonny guy -- you said I work for him. Sam: Yeah. Jason: Right? What does he do? Sam: Ahem. That is complicated, too. Jason: There are six different cars in the parking lot. I know how to hot-wire all of them. Why do I know that? Sam: Because of your work. Jason: I'm a car thief? Sam: No, you're not. Look, can we please just talk about family, please? Jason: I thought you said that I don't like my family. Sam: No. No, no, no. Look, family to you are the people you love -- Sonny and those two little boys, their mother, Carly. She's an incredibly difficult woman who I don't get along with, but you happen to be extremely devoted to her. Your sister Emily and me -- Jason, I am your family and you are all I've got. Jason: How long have I been having headaches? Sam: I don't know. Jason: Well, why not? Don't I tell you things? Sam: You try not to worry me sometimes. Jason: Ok. Sam: No, no, no, wait, wait. Where are you going? Jason: I'm leaving. Sam: You are too sick to leave. Jason: Maybe if I get out of here, I can remember what's going on. Sam: No, no, no, no. Jason, please, don't -- please, Jason, you don't want to do this. Jason: What just happened? Sam: I shouldn't have grabbed you from behind. Jason: I could have killed you. Sam: Jason, wait, please. Doctor: Restrain him! Sam: No, don't! Don't fight, please! Jason -- please, stop! Stop. Stop. No, don't. Please stop! Jason: Ah! Sam: I got you, I got you. [Jason groans] Sam: Come on. Come on. Relax. Relax. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Some forms from Kristina's preschool that need your signature. Sonny: Oh. Michael: How come Kristina doesn't visit us anymore? Sonny: Well, that's what we're going to work out, buddy. You see -- ok? So do me a favor. Why don't you go upstairs, ok, and help Leticia with Morgan, please? Michael: I'll read him a story. Sonny: Oh, that's good. Michael: Read him a story. Sonny: Good, good, and I'll tuck you guys in, say your -- don't forget to say good night to Ms. Davis. Michael: Good night, Ms. Davis. Alexis: You can call me Alexis, you know. Good night, sweetheart. You want to talk about a schedule? Sonny: Well, we don't want to fight. We should just stick with what the court appointed, which is Kristina visits once a week, it would be, yes. Alexis: I think I've already exhausted all the ways to tell you how hard that is for me. Sonny: And I know that it terrifies you every minute she's here. I get that, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to bend a little. Alexis: What about at my house? Sonny: Oh. I'm Kristina's father, this is my house, and I want her to feel like she belongs here, you know, so -- do you want me to sign this or -- Alexis: Yes, I do. September 6, parents' meeting. Please don't bring the bodyguards. Sonny: No problem. Next Tuesday? Alexis: Tuesday. Sonny: Yeah. I'll pick up for a visitation. Ok. Great. 2:00? [Sonny laughs] Sonny: All right. Alexis: You know, stress isn't good for a pregnant woman. Sonny: Well, you're always stressed. Alexis: I'm doing something about that. Sonny: Yeah. What's that? Alexis: I am taking a sabbatical until the baby's born and I have actually signed up for a prenatal yoga class. Sonny: No kidding. Alexis: I'm not kidding. Now, I have a little trouble with the concept of yoga but, you know, that's just something that I'm going to have to -- Sonny: Well, that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Alexis: At least I'm making the effort. You might try that. Sonny: You want me to do yoga? Alexis: I would pay money to see you do yoga. Sonny: Well, you're going to have to pay for something else, because it ain't going to happen. Alexis: Just a thought. You might try something even riskier than that, like forgiveness. You and I can go on choking on our anger. Or we could try to forgive each other, get some perspective, and realize that you and I are not the only people in the world that have ever been hurt or disappointed or treated unfairly. Maybe we could live a happier, more productive, and more fulfilling life if we could just put it down. Sonny: Well, that's wonderful advice. You think you can follow it? Alexis: Watch me. [SCENE_BREAK] Monica: Elizabeth's cramping has subsided, but Dr. Meadows feels the ultrasound is inconclusive, so you have got to keep her calm so she doesn't lose that baby, ok? Lucky: I'll take care of Elizabeth. Elizabeth: Dr. Meadows wouldn't tell me anything. Emily: I'm sure your baby's fine, Elizabeth. It's just your body's way of telling you to take it easy. Elizabeth: Instead of single-handedly trying to fix everyone's marital problems? Emily: I know you meant well. Elizabeth: I'm really sorry I ambushed you. It wasn't fair. Emily: Listen, some day I'll butt into your personal life and then we can call it even. Elizabeth: Hey. Lucky: How you feeling? Elizabeth: Nervous. Lucky: I want you to close your eyes and repeat after me. Go ahead, close your eyes. I'm calm, I'm relaxed, and everything is fine. Elizabeth: I'm calm, I'm relaxed. I'm really glad you're here. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: From the day Elizabeth got pregnant, you've been trying to run her life, Jax, while you virtually ignored Courtney. Jax: I invested everything in this marriage. I wanted this baby for both of us. Courtney: It didn't feel that way to me, Jax. Jax: Oh, oh, I see, so it's my fault that you were so quick to jump into bed with Nikolas. Courtney: Jax, stop it. I never slept with Nikolas, ok? I am still in love with you. Jax: I loved you, too, and don't think this doesn't hurt me. Emily: There's a solution to this. Why don't you give up the child Elizabeth is carrying? Jax: How is giving up my child going to solve anything? Emily: Jax, the surrogacy has complicated everything, ok? Courtney feels inadequate. Lucky thinks you're controlling and fixated on Elizabeth. I think if we just take a step back -- Jax: Oh, you think -- and what about -- what about your marriage to Nikolas? Will giving up my son or daughter save that? Courtney: Jax, that's not fair. Jax: To Emily or Nikolas? I mean, whose side are you taking here? Because -- oh, I mean, do I really have to ask? Courtney: Ok, you know what? How about instead of trading accusations, why don't we all try and make peace? Hopefully, Elizabeth and the baby will be all right. Jax: Then we can all go back to the way we were? I was living in a fool's paradise and I don't care to revisit. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: What the hell happened to us? Emily: I don't know. Elizabeth and Lucky don't deserve to suffer for our mistakes. Nikolas: Well, neither do Courtney and Jax. Emily: Maybe you and I don't deserve to suffer either. [SCENE_BREAK] Woman: You just can't give a girl a break, can you, Johnny? Johnny: When someone says they're leaving town, I take them at their word. Woman: I tried, but I couldn't make myself go. Johnny: Try harder. Woman: I thought you'd be glad I stayed. I keep forgetting the biggest difference between us. Johnny: Money? Woman: I'm human. I can feel. I can make mistakes and admit I was wrong. Johnny: What do you want from me? Woman: I want you to say the words that'll make me forget you, but they haven't been written and probably never will be. Johnny: Go to the station, catch the next train out. By this time next week, you won't remember what I look like. Woman: I wish it were that easy. But wherever I go, whatever I do, my every thought comes back to you. It's like we're the only two people left in the world. Johnny: Well, maybe everybody else is busy. There's a war on, or haven't you heard? Woman: All I hear is you being terribly glib because you're afraid. Johnny: Of what? Woman: Afraid if you forgive me you might possibly be happy. But you don't know what to do with happiness, Johnny, any more than you ever knew what to do with me. Johnny: I know exactly what to do with you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: What happened? Sam: Do you know me? Jason: Sam. Sam: Oh. Thank God. Jason: Those two, those two men, what happened to them? Sam: What men? Jason: They were trying to stop me from -- I pinned you against the wall. Sam: Do you remember what happened before? How you got here? Jason: Only what you told me. Sam: No, no, no. Lie still, please. Jason: I'm getting out of here. Sam: Please, Jason, you have to listen to me. You are too sick to go anywhere on your own. I've got to call the hospital in Port Charles and make arrangements for you to go home, please. Jason: I'm not going to another hospital. Sam: You have a headache, don't you? Jason: Yes. Sam: Yes. That's what happened to you when you were on the boat. You were complaining about a headache, you passed out, you woke up, you couldn't remember anything. I am just afraid that you're going to pass out again and you are not going to wake up at all. Jason: I'm going to take my chances. Sam: No, please. I'm sorry. You may not remember this, but I love you. Please. Please let me help you. Jason: Why aren't you afraid of me? I almost snapped your neck. Sam: You would never do anything to hurt me. I trust you. I trust you and you trust me. Jason: Ok. Sam: Oh. I am -- I'm going to make those arrangements, ok? You just promise me you won't leave this bed, please. Jason: For now. Sam: Ok, I'll be right back. Oh -- no! Allegra: Well, my dear, we meet again. [SCENE_BREAK] Emily: Have you gotten the test results back? Elizabeth: No, nothing so far, but I'm feeling steadier. Emily: Good. Lucky: How are things out there? Emily: Oh, about the same. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Jax was right. I was naive to think I could get us all together in a room and make peace. Nikolas: Well, you were just trying to help. Right idea, wrong time. Elizabeth: It's just so frustrating watching everyone pulling apart from the people they love. Nikolas: But I'm not here to upset you. I just want you to know that I'm pulling for you as always. Elizabeth: Four musketeers -- on each other's side no matter what. Nikolas: No matter what. Elizabeth: Emily, go after him. Emily: Nikolas? Standing there, listening to you, I realized that I can't stop loving you. Dr. Meadows, do you have Elizabeth's test results? Dr. Meadows: Yes. I need to go over them with her. Emily: Ok. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Meadows: Elizabeth. Elizabeth: How's the baby? Dr. Meadows: Doing well. Elizabeth: Oh, thank God. Dr. Meadows: And it looks like you were suffering from simple dehydration, so we'll rehydrate you through your I.V. and you should be fine. [SCENE_BREAK] Allegra: We can discuss this here if you'll agree not to make a fuss. Sam: I married Andrew while posing as your daughter, and now he's dead. I think that was much quicker than a divorce, don't you? Allegra: Unfortunately, Alicia has disappeared at a most inopportune time. I'm going to need you to impersonate her once more. Sam: No, you can forget it. No. Allegra: What makes you think I'm giving you a choice? Sam: Jason! Please! Allegra: Why don't we just let Jason rest, dear? Obviously, your boyfriend isn't feeling all that well. Gentlemen, Mr. Morgan is inside. You know what to do. Sam: No! Allegra: Let's go. Sam: Let go! [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: Whoo. Oh. What have we got there? Alexis: I figured since you were going to bring me ice cream every night that I'd get a head start on the decadence. Ric: It's just dessert, Alexis. It's not an impending moral collapse. Alexis: That is very true. Well put, my love. It's all about perspective, isn't it? Ric: Yeah. Alexis: I was just discussing that with Sonny. I'm not sure that he was listening. You know, he's not a very good listener. Twice a month, we agreed. Going to start with Tuesdays. I don't know if it's sheer exhaustion or some kind of spiritual growth. In any case, I'm not interested in having that same fight one more time. Any comment? Ric: Well, you know, I have my own reasons for thinking that it's the right solution, but my reasons don't really matter. Alexis: I'm never going to be comfortable with Kristina staying at his house, nor should I be. Ric: Nope. Alexis: But there doesn't seem to be much to be done about it at this particular time, so I'm not going to waste my energy being angry at him anymore. I'm going to put my energy other places. Ric: On Kristina and the baby. Alexis: And you. I love you very much, and I know that I have a lousy way of showing that sometimes. I mean, when I think that I literally almost chased you right into Reese's arms, if she had taken you up on that -- if you had taken her up on that -- I would never have forgiven myself. Call me selfish. The truth is I think I want you all to myself. [SCENE_BREAK] [Key turns in lock] Sonny: Oh. Reese: You're drenched. Sonny: The car broke down. I've been running for five blocks. Everybody's talking to me about what's wrong with me, why I can't forgive and -- Reese: It makes you a force to be reckoned with, keeps you strong, and makes you a mystery that some of us mistakenly think we can solve. Sonny: Not being able to forgive is one of the things I hate about myself. Reese: You don't have to do this. Sonny: Well, you know what? I do if I want to change. You came to town to take Carly down. You didn't do it. You had a change of heart. And I'm starting to realize that change is, you know -- it could be a good thing, not a bad thing. Reese: Ok, well, thanks for telling me. Sonny: I'm not -- I'm not done yet. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Where's Sam McCall? Man: Gone. Now it's your turn. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: Sorry. I'm not following you. I was just on my way home. I know better than to ask you to come with me, but you did say you still love me and I'd like to think that means we still have a chance. Emily: I don't know what anything means anymore. Nikolas: I just wish you would believe me when I tell you that I didn't sleep with Courtney, Emily. Emily: I do believe you, Nikolas. I can see the truth in your eyes. Nikolas: Then we do have a chance. Look, no matter what happens in between, we still love each other. I'll be waiting for you at home when you're ready to come back to our marriage. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: I wish you didn't have to leave. Lucky: Who says I'm leaving? Cameron's got a babysitter, and I don't have to be at work until 10:00 tomorrow. Elizabeth: Oh. Lucky: So it's all good. Elizabeth: Hmm. Lucky: Hey, you shouldn't be here. Jax: I just -- I need to speak with Elizabeth. I've changed my mind about a few things. [NEXT_ON] Jax: I realized tonight that the baby will need two parents. Nikolas: I love you. Emily: I love you, too, Nikolas. Doctor: Did I hear gunshots? Jason: Where is she? Sam: What else do you want from me? Reese: What's going to happen now?
