Nina calls Silas to interrupt his date by making up a story that she fell out of her wheelchair. She tells Rosalie to leave for 30 minutes. Patrick sees Sam in the park, so he sits with her while she tells him about the Nina situation. Patrick wonders if Sam thinks Nina ruined her date on purpose. She wants to give Nina the benefit of the doubt. She tells Patrick that she took off her wedding ring, because it is time to let Jason go. Patrick flashes back to Robin choosing to save Jason over their family. Sam tells Patrick that she has not forgotten about finding out who ran him off the road. Silas goes home and gets Nina back into her chair. She tells him that his plaque is broken, because it fell when she tried to reach it, because she was so lonely that she wanted to hold something of his, then she fell. Rosalie goes to the Floating Rib to kill time and has a short conversation with Nathan. She downs Nathan's drink and leaves. When Rosalie arrives at Silas' apartment, he tells her that she would have been responsible if something had happened to Nina. Rosalie tells him that anything that happens to his wife is his responsibility and that it isn't her fault that he called her at the last minute to take care of his wife while he went on a date with his girlfriend. She berates him for breaking his marriage vows. Nina privately gloats to Rosalie that Silas' relationship with Sam will be over soon. Nathan tells Mac that Maxie's hearing was moved up a day and that she lost custody of Georgie again. Mac assures Nathan that it wasn't his fault. He concludes that Levi convincing Maxie that she wouldn't be a good mother was the cause of all the problems. Levi continues to try to isolate Maxie from her family and friends. Maxie wonders how the judge found out that Nathan lied. Mac calls Maxie and tells her that it isn't over. Nathan tells Mac that he thinks Levi tipped off the judge. Meanwhile, Levi tells Maxie that Nathan accused him of tipping off the judge. Maxie believes Levi would never do such a thing. Levi flashes back to making the call to the judge using an American accent. Maxie confronts Nathan. Levi gloats. Sonny forbids Ava to drink any wine during her pregnancy. She pours a martini. He smacks the glass out of her hand and warns her not to push him. She envisions Carly raising his brain-damaged child for him. He tells her that he is going to have Max remove every drop of alcohol from the house. She says she will find another way to torture him and that it will be fun. Franco confronts Carly about disappearing to Sonny's house for hours. He asks her if her beef with Ava is that she slept with Morgan or that she slept with Sonny. She asks where that is coming from. He says he talked to Morgan. She tells him that Ava warned her that he is the jealous type. He observes that Morgan's opinions are invalid to her and yet Ava's are valid. He walks out when Sonny calls and goes to the Floating Rib. Mac tells Franco that Sonny imagines himself as better than the thug that he is and that, for some reason, every woman that comes into his orbit becomes addicted and can't shake him. On the phone, Carly assures Sonny that they will get through it together. Ava calls someone and asks them to come to Port Charles.
Maxie: [Sighs] Maxie: [Sighs] Nathan?? Maxie: [Sighs] Nathan? Nathan, are you here? Mac: Hey, Detective West. Always good to see you. Can I get you a beer? Nathan: No, no. I think I'm gonna need something a little stronger tonight. Mac: Straight, no chaser? Nathan: Yeah. Mac: Something on your mind? Nathan: Yeah. Yeah, and it affects you, too. Maxie lost custody of her daughter. Maxie: Nathan?! [Sighs] Maybe he has his headphones on. [Keys jingle, door unlocks] Maxie: Nathan, is that you? Levi: Sorry, babe. It's just me. Carly: Ooh. Well... Josslyn is down for the count. Franco: Well, I'm not sure at all what this ice princess is trying so hard to let go of. Carly: Oh. Be careful how how throw the word "ice princess" around in this town. So, Kiki was here, huh? Franco: She sure was. I had to call in reinforcements 'cause you were off, busy playing house with your ex-husband Sonny. Sonny: What the hell do you think you're doing? Ava: What does it look like? I'm pouring myself a glass of wine. Sonny: Over my dead body. Silas: Nina, is everything okay? Nina: No, it's not. Silas: Why? What happened? Nina: I fell out of my chair. I can't move. [Crying] Silas, are you there? Silas: Yeah. No. I'm here. Uh, listen, everything's gonna be okay. Just put Rosalie on for me, okay? Nina: Rosalie's not here. I'm all alone. Silas: What do you mean, she's not there? Nina: [Crying] No one is here to help me up. Silas: Where's -- never mind. It doesn't matter. Uh... I'm on my way. Nina: No, no. Listen, I don't want to ruin your date. I don't want to ruin your date. Could you call the super or something? Silas: There is no super, all right? I'm -- I'm on my way. Nina: Silas, hurry. Please hurry. Hurry. [Crying] Nina: Hmm. Can I cook, or can't I? Carly: Are you mad at me? Franco: I wouldn't say I'm mad at you. Carly: Okay. Is it a problem that I went to see Sonny? Franco: No. Look, it's not -- you were gone for hours, all right? You left me here alone with Josslyn, and I had no idea when you were gonna come home. Carly: I was a mile and a half down the road. I had to let Ava know that I am watching her like a hawk. Franco: Doesn't Sonny have a bunch of fancy bodyguards to do that? Carly: Come on, Franco. You know better than anyone what Ava is capable of, especially when she's threatened. She's using every tool in the book to antagonize Sonny, and it's driving him nuts. Ava: Give that back, please. I need something to wash down my gourmet dinner. I don't suppose the Chianti will complement the pepperoni, but it will have to do. Sonny: I said no. Ava: Hmm. This is an interesting place to draw the line. It's just a little glass of wine to take the edge off. There's a lot of tension in this house. Sonny: All right. Do I have to remind you that you're pregnant? No alcohol. Ava: [Chuckles] That's so quaint. You know, Sonny, here in the modern world, there have been several studies that prove that having one glass of wine a day during pregnancy is just fine. Sonny: I don't care what the studies say. While you're living under my roof... you're not gonna drink any wine. Ava: Okay. I'll just have to make myself a martini. Levi: Are you all right, max? You left the courtroom pretty quick. Maxie: I had to get out of there. I went to see Lulu. I just needed to talk to someone. Levi: That's what I'm here for, babe. I can be the one to help you get through all this, okay? We don't need anyone else -- not Lulu... and not Nathan. Mac: I don't understand. I thought the custody hearing was tomorrow. Felicia and I were gonna drive Maxie to court so we could be there for moral support. Nathan: Well, the judge called us in early. He made his decision today -- against Maxie. She's been barred from seeing Georgie for another six months. Mac: [Sighs] Oh, my God! How could this even happen?! Nathan: 'Cause of me. Maxie: What am I supposed to do? How am I gonna wait six months to see my daughter again? She'll be walking by then. I mean, growing up with her genius father and his supernerd girlfriend, she'll probably be speaking three languages and building computers. She won't even know who I am. Levi: You'll always be her mother, max. Maxie: How did the judge even figure out that Nathan was lying? Nathan: So, you know how Maxie missed her first scheduled hearing, right? Mac: If she hadn't rescheduled by the time I heard about it, I would have lost my mind. Nathan: So I covered for her. I told the judge that I threw the notice out before she got a chance to see it so she didn't know about the hearing so it wasn't her fault that she missed it. Mac: You lied? Nathan: Yeah. She deserved a second chance. Maxie would be a great mother. Anybody can see how much she loves her daughter. Mac: As a former lawman, that's no small favor. I appreciate you having Maxie's back. Nathan: The problem is judge Walters found out I lied. I just wanted to help her. Instead, I think I just made things worse. Silas: Nina...took a bad fall, and, for some reason, her nurse isn't there and she's all alone. Sam: No, no, of course. You have to go. I understand. Silas: I don't want to just leave you here. Sam: It's okay. It's okay. It's not your fault. I'll take care of everything. Silas: This was supposed to be our night, you know, and I hate that I made you a promise and already I'm breaking it. Sam: Hey, you didn't know this was gonna happen. It's okay. Silas: I'll make it up to you -- I swear. Sam: Okay. Nina: Silas really bought my story hook, line, and sinker. Making him pay for abandoning me is gonna be a little easier than I thought. Great! We're gonna get on to Ava and Kiki in a matter of days. Rosalie: Uh, did you really have to throw me under the bus? On paper, Silas is still my boss. What if he fires me? I have to think about my career here. Nina: He's not gonna fire you. He's gonna do whatever I want, okay? Your job is safe. Rosalie: But -- Nina: But what? What? Listen, Silas only thinks that I lost all my money. I have enough money to get my sweet revenge, believe me. And after I'm done with you... you're gonna be able to afford your own live-in nurse. Got it? Don't forget who your real daddy Warbucks is, all right? It's me. You need to go before Silas comes in to save the day, okay? Rosalie: Okay. Nina: Come back in 30 minutes. Capisce? Rosalie: Capisce. Nina: Okay. Listen carefully. This is exactly what I need you to do. Sonny: [Blows] Patrick: Sam? Sam: Patrick? Patrick: Hey. Sam: Hey. I didn't expect to see you in the park at an hour like this. Are you okay? Patrick: Yeah. I was just, um -- I just went to see Gabriel's grave, and -- and, uh, Anna and Duke have Emma for the night, so I just wanted to take a walk and clear my head a little bit. Sam: Yeah, I definitely understand that. Patrick: What are you doing? Sam: Oh, I was, um -- I was on a date. Silas had an emergency. Patrick: He get called to the hospital? Sam: No. To his wife. Patrick: Nina's big return. Yeah, it's all the talk at general hospital. Sam: Yeah. Needless to say, it's a little bit complicated. Patrick: If you want to talk about anything, I can listen. Sam: No. Gosh. Your problems are way bigger than mine. This would seem a little trivial. Patrick: It's not a competition, Sam, and, to be honest, I could use a distraction. Sam: All right. Uh, I will take you up on that if -- if... Patrick: Okay Sam: One thing. You've got to help me finish off this. Patrick: You have a deal. Nina: Ahh. Let's see. So... oh, Silas. Silas. That's too posed. That's not -- that -- that won't -- just... then I crawled. I finally crawled to the sofa to -- [Gasps] Silas: Nina! Nina! Hey. Hey. Hey. Nina: [Moans] Silas: You okay? Nina: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. [Crying] I was trying to right my chair, and it fell, and I fell off, and I... couldn't get up, and I crawled to the sofa. Thank goodness I had the phone. Oh, my goodness. Silas: All right. Nina: Ohh. Silas: It's gonna be okay. All right. Let's take a look. Nina: [Crying] I'm just upset. Silas: Hey, listen. Listen. Listen. Hey, listen. Put your arms around me, all right? Nina: Okay. Silas: Nice and easy. I got you. Nina: Okay. Silas: Easy. Just go straight back. Nina: Okay. Straight back. Okay. Silas: All right? Nina: Uh-huh. Silas: Okay. Patrick: So, Silas' wife is going to live with him and you guys are going to continue to see each other? Sam: Mm. Yeah. Apparently, she has no money or a place to stay, and Silas insists that that's not gonna affect what we have, which is why he planned this really romantic evening for the two of us. Patrick: You look great, by the way. Sam: Thank you. Patrick: But... Sam: But... Patrick: ...On the other hand...? Sam: ...Yes, on the other hand, I just don't understand. He gets one phone call, and he goes running to her side. He left me here tonight to be with a woman who is in love with him. And, I mean, I don't blame him. I get it. She's still his wife, I mean, technically, and even if she wasn't his wife, I think he would still feel morally obligated to go, but [Sighs] I don't know. Patrick: What, Sam? Sam: Nothing. Forget it. Patrick: No. You think that she ruined your date on purpose. Silas: Hey. What happened? Nina: I-I tried standing, and I fell. Silas: Why would you do that? You know you're too weak to walk. Nina: Everybody tells me [Crying] I'm making so much progress... and...I'm -- you know patience isn't my strong suit. You know what I mean? You know that about me. And I just -- I'm so, so, so tired of being helpless. I'm so tired, Silas. I'm so tired. Silas: What happened here? Mac: You shouldn't blame yourself. You didn't cause this mess by lying for Maxie. Nathan: [Scoffs] Didn't I? Mac: [Sighs] No. No. This started when Maxie doubted her role as Georgie's mother. She missed the first hearing because she felt Georgie would be better off without her in her life. And I have a pretty good idea who made her feel that way. Listen, I'm gonna check in with Maxie and let Felicia know what's going on. Thanks for the heads up. You're a good man, detective. Nathan: Call me "Nathan," please. Mac: All right, Nathan. Rosalie: Hey, there. I don't suppose you know where the bartender went off to. God forbid he should be behind the bar, serving drinks. Nathan: Take it easy on him. His family got some bad news. Maxie: [Sighs] I just don't get it. How did judge Walters even know that Nathan was lying for me in the first place? [Cell phone ringing] Maxie: [Sighs] It's Mac. How am I gonna break this news? Levi: Max, you don't have to deal with this now. Just ignore the call. [Ringing continues] Maxie: No. I can't do that. Hello? Mac: Maxie, sweetheart, it's me. Look, I know about the judge's ruling. I'm so sorry. Maxie: You heard? Mac: Yeah. Nathan's here. He feels terrible about how things went down. Maxie: Please tell Nathan that this is not his fault, okay? It's my fault. I should never have flaked on the original custody hearing. Mac: Listen, this isn't over. We still have options. Diane miller is the best lawyer in town. We'll strategize. Maxie: Thank you, but right now, I just want to sleep. Mac: I understand. Look, hey...why don't you come over -- let your mom and me take care of you? Maxie: I appreciate the offer, but Levi's here taking care of me, and I'll be fine. Mac: Are you sure? Maxie: I'll call you tomorrow. I love you. Levi: News travels fast in this town. Maxie: Well, Nathan's at the Floating Rib, and he just filled Mac in. Levi: Oh. I bet our old buddy Nathan was giving Mac an earful about me. Maxie: Why would you say that? Nathan: I don't know. Something had to happen to make the judge doubt my story, and I can think of only one possibility -- you tipped him off. Levi: Max, there's something that you should know. Sam: You really want to know what I think? I think that the timing was a little bit too convenient. I mean, what happened to her nurse? Why was she suddenly all alone? Patrick: That's a valid question. Sam: And when I went over to Silas' earlier to talk to Nina to clear the air, all I did was suggested that maybe there was a more comfortable living situation for her. As soon as Silas walked in, she made it sound like I was kicking her out. She acted all innocent about it, but I got the feeling like she tried to make me look bad. Patrick: So, you are suspicious? Sam: Oh, I know! I sound so awful! I have no reason not to take Nina at face value. Patrick: I'm not gonna judge you if you tell me. Sam: And just for the record, just so you know, I have tried to put myself in her shoes, and I know that this is an extremely difficult situation. Patrick: Okay, look -- I know you. You're a P.I. You have really good instincts. If you think that Nina has an agenda, well, then, there probably is. Silas: The caduceus you gave me -- what happened to it? Nina: Ohhhh! Ugh! Ugh! Nina: I'm sorry. I know how much it meant to you, how much it meant to us. I didn't mean to break it. Silas: Oh. It's okay. How -- how'd it break? Nina: I-I guess I was missing you... and I, uh -- I wanted something to hold on to, you know, 'cause we were talking about old times, right? And so I went over. It was on the shelf, and I went to grab it and stand, and that's when I fell. I just, um... needed something to hold on to when I was alone. Silas: I don't understand. Why were you alone? Where's Rosalie? Rosalie: Hello? Is it always this hard to get a drink here? I have somewhere to be in less than 15 minutes. I was hoping to get a quick drink. I guess that's not gonna happen. Service in this town sucks. Nathan: You new in town? Rosalie: Port Charles is no Manhattan -- that's for sure. Nathan: A New Yorker. That's two of us. Here. I haven't even touched it. Rosalie: [Chuckles] You're gonna try that with a New York girl? I know better than to take a drink from a stranger. Nathan: Relax. I'm a cop. It's fine. Rosalie: Well, thank you, officer. Cheers. Mm. Ahh. See you around. Mac: What, she couldn't wait? Nathan: New Yorker. So, you get ahold of Maxie? Mac: Uh...yeah. Yeah. She didn't want to talk. Nathan: She sound okay? Mac: She said she's fine -- because she's with Levi. Nathan: [Sighs] Mac: I take it you're not a member of his fan club, either. What's your gripe with him? Maxie: What do you need to tell me? Levi: I didn't want to bother you with this, especially with what just happened at the courtroom, but it's best you hear it from me than somebody else. Maxie: Levi, just tell me. Levi: After you left the courtroom, Nathan stopped me. He blamed me for everything that went down. Maxie: Why would he do that? Nathan: I think Levi tipped off the judge. Levi: Nathan thinks that I'm the one who told the judge that he lied. Carly: I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have run off to see Sonny without calling you or texting you. I shouldn't have done that. Franco: It's no big deal. Carly: Don't do that. Don't say it's no big deal. Hey, come on. Talk to me. Franco: I'm finally here, right? We move in together, we're finally alone... and you bolt. And it just started me thinking that maybe you might have changed your mind. Carly: I didn't change my mind at all. Franco: Are you sure? Carly: Yeah, I'm -- I'm sure. Franco: Sonny's a big, grown-up gangster. He can look after himself, right? Carly: Yes. Sonny has a very bad temper, okay? And sometimes he can handle it and sometimes he can't, and Ava takes that bad temper and makes it worse. Franco: I don't see how it's your responsibility to go calm that man down. Carly: Franco, when I showed up at Sonny's, he was so wound up, he was ready to tell Dante everything. If I hadn't covered for him, this whole story would be out in the open. Franco: So what, Carly? Who cares? Why would that be so bad? Carly: Why the hell do I have to keep explaining this to you? Michael can never know that Sonny shot A.J. Even if Michael, down the road, was somehow able to forgive Sonny, it would break his heart, and my kid has been through enough! And I'm not just talking about Pentonville, okay? Sonny and I -- we have made a lot of mistakes, and the fallout has mostly landed on Michael. And this could blow my family apart, and there's no way in hell I'm gonna let that happen. Franco: There's a big difference -- right? -- Between protecting Michael and running off to Sonny's side every time Ava gets in his face. I have a question for you. Carly: Somebody has to do it, and that someone's me. Franco: No, hold on a second. You're upset at Ava, right? Carly: Hell, yeah, I'm upset with Ava. Franco: Now, are you upset at Ava because she slept with Morgan or because she slept with Sonny? Sonny: Cut it out, Ava. We both know you're not gonna drink that. Ava: Bottoms up. Sonny: Don't you dare. I'm not joking around here. I am not joking around. Ava: What are you gonna do about it? You are not gonna lay a finger on me while I'm carrying this baby. You got no moves here. Sonny: Don't push me. Ava: You are certifiable, striking a pregnant woman. Sonny: Okay. First of all, I didn't hit you. I hit the glass out of your hand. I am not gonna let a pregnant woman drink a martini. That's just the way it is. Ava: Oh, you do care. I'm touched. Sonny: Okay, don't play that with me, 'cause I don't play those games. You're not gonna hurt that baby 'cause it's the only insurance policy you got. Ava: Try me. You've made it very clear what the plan is here -- that you're gonna kill me after I give birth to my baby. So, I won't be able to raise my child. You and your best friend Carly will have to raise it... with any abnormalities that come along with it. Do you honestly think I'm gonna make this easier for you? Sonny: You're a monster. Ava: What does that make you? Carly: What exactly are you trying to ask me? Franco: The fact that Ava and Sonny were together in the biblical sense -- does that bother you? Carly: Yes, it bothers me. It bothers me because Ava was manipulating Sonny. Franco: No, no, no. That's not what I'm talking about. That's not what I mean. Carly: I can't believe this! You sound exactly like Ava! Franco: That's not a nice thing to say, Carly. Carly: [Laughing] No. Franco: So, I'm not the only one that's calling you out on this? Carly: No, no, no. You and Ava have this crazy idea about me and Sonny, and that's not exactly putting you in good company. Franco: No, but it kind of proves my point, right? Carly: Okay. What is going on. Okay, talk to me. Where is this coming from? Franco: Morgan said something to me. Right before he moved out, he said something to me. Carly: What? Franco: He told me that you would always just drop everything you were doing at a moment's notice to go be by Sonny's side because there was a bond between you, because you would never be done with him, because Sonny would always come first. Carly: And you believed him? That's ridiculous, okay? Morgan is livid with his father. He is lashing out at Sonny and the world. That's why he said those things. Franco: So, you tell me now -- is it completely untrue? Carly: Yes, Sonny and I have a bond. We will always have a bond -- not a romantic one. Franco: And you're sure about that? Carly: Yes, I'm sure about that. I'm really, really sure about that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ava -- boy, she had you pegged. You really are the jealous type. Silas: What happened to Rosalie when I left? You said she was on her way. Nina: I don't know. She never showed up. Silas: She didn't show up? Rosalie: I'm so sorry I'm late. Dr. Clay, you're home early! Silas: Nina fell. There was no one here to help her. Rosalie: What?! Silas: Where were you? Rosalie: I had car trouble. Mrs. Clay, are you all right? Nina: Yeah, I'm fine. Silas: Why didn't you call? Rosalie: I couldn't. I forgot to charge my phone. My battery was dead. Silas: One of the responsibilities of an on-call nurse is to be on call, all right? If anything would have happened to Nina, it would have been on you. Rosalie: All due respect, Dr. Clay, but if anything had happened to your wife, the only person responsible would be you. Sam: Look, I appreciate your faith, but I can't see this objectively. I look at Nina, and I see her as a threat to my relationship, so, yes, I am suspicious of her motives. But what if -- what if she's just in love with her husband? I mean, for Silas, it's been over 20 years, and for Nina, it's been mere weeks. Of course she would be trying to hold on to her husband. Who am I to judge? I mean, I just took my wedding ring off today. Patrick: Let me ask you a question. Did you take your ring off because you and Silas are getting more serious? Sam: Yeah. I mean, we have. But beyond that, it was just -- it was time. Jason has been gone for so long. Maxie: Nathan thinks that you told judge Walters that he lied during the first hearing? Levi: I guess it's because I'm one of the few people who know the truth. Maxie: You would never do something like that. Levi: I told Nathan that, but he's determined to blame anyone but himself. Mac: That son of a bitch! I swear, I'm literally gonna kill him! Nathan: Hey, as much as I share the sentiment, I don't actually have any proof that it was Levi who tipped off the judge, okay? It's just a gut feeling. Mac: I always thought there was something off with that guy. Maybe I should be more loyal because he's a fellow Aussie, but I have half a mind to call immigration on him, if only to get him out of Maxie's apartment. Nathan: Speaking of, I need to get back there and make sure she's doing okay. Mac: Thank you. Nathan: Just don't do anything you might regret, all right? I could be way off on this. Mac: But you don't think you are, do you? Nathan: No, I don't. Levi: I must admit, max, that despite my best efforts to breathe through my anger, my conversation with Nathan got a little...heated. Maxie: You didn't punch him again, did you? Levi: No. No. That was a one-time thing on a very emotional day. I was on my way to meet you at little Gabriel's funeral. Do you really think I have such poor self-control? Maxie: No. You're one of the most focused and centered people that I know, which is why I don't understand why you and Nathan can't get along. Levi: I just can't cotton on to someone questioning my feelings for you. He threw my initial doubt about the custody hearing in my face as proof that I was guilty. Maxie: That's ridiculous. I know that you didn't exactly see eye to eye with me on this at first, but that's a long way from sabotaging my case. Levi: Not in Nathan's mind. He's quite determined. Maxie: I don't know why he would accuse you of something so malicious. Levi: [American accent] Yes. Judge Walters, please. I have some information that pertains to a custody hearing he's ruling on. Levi: [Australian accent] Neither can I. Maxie: I can't believe Nathan would be so cruel. I mean, I just lost my daughter and he attacks you? Was he not listening when you made that beautiful appeal to the judge? You even saved him from having to lie under oath. He would have committed perjury. You saved him from potentially trashing his entire career. Levi: I reminded him of that, max, but you know those personality types -- always have to blame someone. Just don't say anything to him when he gets home. Maxie: Why not? Levi: It's just not worth it. It's gonna perpetuate the negativity that we're trying to move past. Maxie: Yeah. You're right. We'll just move past it. Levi: Yeah. [Keys jingle] [Doorknob rattling] Maxie: How dare you?! Sam: Hey, even with the, uh, personal earthquake in my life, I want you to know that I haven't forgotten about your case. I'm still trying to track down the car who drove you off the road. Patrick: Obviously, you've got a lot going on, so anything that you've been doing to help, I appreciate. Sam: Yes, of course. For someone to cause an accident and not stop -- I think it's disgusting, and I think you and Sabrina deserve some sort of justice. I just wanted to tell you because I think it's been taking a little bit longer than normal. So, I'm gonna go to the scene of the accident tomorrow, and, hopefully, I can -- I don't know -- pick up some sort of clues that the police missed. Patrick: I can come with you. Sam: I don't think that's a good idea. It might be difficult going back -- Patrick: Actually, Sam, I feel like -- I feel like I need to do something. Sam: Okay. I mean, if you change your mind, you can let me know. Patrick: I can handle it. Sam: All right. Well, I'll -- I guess I'll just text you when and where? Patrick: It's a date. Sorry. Poor choice of words. Sam: [Sighing] Yeah. Nina: Rosalie, please. Silas: I'm sorry. What did you just say? Rosalie: I was late for work, and I apologize, but I was called in at the last minute because you decided to go on a date with another woman. Nina: Oh, do-- listen, don't talk to Silas like that, please. Rosalie: I'm sorry, Mrs. Clay, okay? But I can't hold my tongue any longer. Are you trying to tell me that it doesn't bother you to see your husband leave you to go out with his girlfriend? Look at what you're doing to this poor woman. You're making her feel guilty for loving her husband. Silas: I'm not having this conversation with you. Nina: Okay, listen -- Rosalie, I know that your heart is in the right place and I really appreciate it, but you can't blame Silas. He was entitled to move on. Rosalie: I guess I was just raised differently, where the point of wedding vows is to take a lifetime commitment, so that when you say, "in sickness and in health" and "till death do us part," you actually meant it. Nina: Oh, okay. You know what? This isn't doing anyone any good. Rosalie: Go ahead and fire me, Dr. Clay. I'll be able to sleep tonight. Unlike you, I have nothing to be ashamed of. Sonny: You wonder why I want you dead? Y-y-you're putting a lifetime of suffering and disability on an innocent child -- yours? What Morgan -- what about that? You say you care about him so much. If he's the father, he's gonna have to watch his son suffer. There is nothing worse... than watching your son suffer that kind of pain. Ava: Who are you to judge me? Sonny: Mothers die for their kids. You're holding yours hostage. Ava: What do you expect me to do, hmm? You expect me to hand you over a healthy baby and smile while you kill me? Sonny: I don't know. I don't expect you to do anything. You can smile. You can do whatever you want. I just want you to die. And I'm not gonna give you a chance to hurt that baby. So, tomorrow, I'm gonna ask max to come here... and take away every drop of alcohol that's in this house. Ava: Very well. I'll just have to find another way to torture you. It's gonna be fun. Sonny: [Sighs] Franco: You and Ava were talking about me? Carly: Uh, Ava and I were talking, and you came up. Franco: So, what did she have to say? Carly: She told me that when the two of you were together, you had a jealous streak and that she thought that you would have a problem with me seeing Sonny, and I thought she was trying to rattle me. You're proving her right! Franco: You need to hear yourself. This is what I think you're saying. You're telling me that I shouldn't listen to Morgan when he says something's going on between you and Sonny because he's angry, so he's lashing out, so what he says is invalid, but what Ava has to say about me -- we should believe that because that -- somehow, that's valid? Carly: Okay. Can we not do this? Can we not get all crazy and fight? I mean, seriously, you have nothing to be jealous about -- nothing. Sonny does not come first in my life, okay? [Cell phone ringing] Franco: You should probably get that. Carly: [Sighs] Franco... [Ringing continues] Sam: Hey, thank you for letting me talk your ear off. Patrick: Thank you. It's been nice to think about something else, at least for a little bit. Sam: Yeah. It's hard getting over losing someone you love. Just so you know, you... are not alone. Patrick: Saving Jason Morgan is more important than our family. Patrick: Sorry. Sam: For what? Patrick: Everything -- everything that you're going through with Silas and Nina. Sam: [Sighs] Yeah. Well, it certainly was unexpected. I just -- I don't know why he hasn't...called me yet and let me know what happened. Patrick: Call him. You should call him. I think he'd like to hear from you. Nina: No one is firing anyone. Listen, we can all agree that this is a very strange situation. We're just trying to make the best of it. Rosalie, you can't talk to Silas like that. You -- [Sighs] We can all agree we just want everyone to be happy, right? Rosalie: Yeah. I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn. Nina: Okay. That's good, isn't it? Um...can you just take me to bed? I'm just so worn out from all this drama. Silas: You sure you're okay? Nina: Yeah, thanks. Good night. Silas: Good night. [Cell phone rings] Silas: Hi. Sam: Hey. Um, I was just calling to make sure everyone was okay. Silas: Yeah, everybody here's fine. I'm -- I'm so sorry I had to leave like that. Listen, I can come back. Sam: Oh, it's okay. Actually, Patrick's here, and he's gonna give me a ride home. Silas: Okay. Can I call you in the morning? Sam: Yeah, of course. Good night. Silas: Good night. Patrick: It all work out? Sam: I think so. Patrick: Okay. Come on. I'll get you home. Nina: You put on a good show. Rosalie: Likewise, although I'm sure mine didn't endear me to the boss. Nina: I'm your boss. Besides, we won't have to do this forever. It won't be long before Silas and Sam are destroyed... for good. Maxie: I know that you probably feel bad about what happened, but pointing the finger at Levi is wrong. It's not gonna make things better, and it's certainly not gonna get me my daughter back. Nathan: And I'm sorry about that, okay? I didn't want you to have to deal with that right now. Levi shouldn't have brought it up. Maxie: Well, he did, and we're gonna talk about it -- now. Nathan: Fine. Then you need to ask yourself how the judge found out in the first place -- not from me and I'm willing to bet not from you or Diane. Maxie: I don't know how the judge found out, okay? But it wasn't from Levi, because he would never hurt me like that. Nathan: Levi didn't want you to see your daughter in the first place. Maxie: You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore. Come on, Levi. I just want this day to be over. Let's go to bed. Levi: G'day, mate. Franco: Can I ask you a question? What do you think of Sonny Corinthos? Mac: That's a loaded question. Franco: I think I'm ready for the loaded answer, then. Mac: I think he is a self-glorifying, narcissistic man who imagines himself to be something better than the two-bit thug he is. Franco: I'll drink to that, then, no? Mac: But the thing is Sonny knows how to turn on the charm. I mean, practically every woman in town eats up his act with a spoon. And don't ask me to explain why, but he's like a drug. Once they're in his orbit, they're addicted. No matter how hard they try, they'll never shake him. Carly: It's late. What's up? Sonny: Yeah, I'm sorry. Listen, I just -- I needed to talk to you. Carly: I'm here. What did Ava do? Sonny: Well, she threatened to hurt the baby. Carly: What?! Sonny: Yeah. She was gonna swallow a vodka martini, and I stopped her, but she said that it didn't matter if it affected the baby because I was gonna have to deal with the consequences. Carly: That is so vile, even for her. Sonny: I don't know. I really -- [Sighs] I really don't know how long I can keep this going, you know? Carly: Hey... you're gonna get through this, right? We're gonna get through this together. Ava: Hi. It's me. I know it's been a long time since I reached out to you. I've been doing some thinking. I think it's high time that we reconnect. How would you like to come to Port Charles?
