Morgan announces to both of his parents that his life is back on track and reveals the main reason why he's happier than they've seen him in a long time and, for the first time, confident that he will succeed, is because he's back with Kiki. Although they are both encouraged to hear that, they both warn him not to make Kiki the sole source of his happiness and well being. He's not worried, confident that Kiki has willfully chosen him over Dillon Quartermaine. However, as they speak, Dillon finds Kiki and urgently protests to her that she needs to get over Morgan, realize he's holding her down and her future will be better if she's with him instead. At first, she raises objections but admits that she seriously considered Dillon before he "let her go" and make her own decision, and that has not changed. They kiss and are seen by Carly who is outraged knowing that her son has just informed her that Kiki is committed only to him and done with Dillon. Maxie and Nathan are ready to set their wedding date. Yet she senses that the plans may be "cursed" for some reason. Meanwhile, Griffin reveals to Anna that while he was a priest, he made a fatal mistake by "crossing the line" with a married woman, although he does not reveal to her who the woman was, nor her husband, nor the specific consequences that occurred. However, we see the "flashback" of his "encounter" and the distinct ring the woman had on her finger. We then see Maxie and Nathan's wedding announcement and the hand of a woman observing it on her tablet, wearing the same ring as Griffin's married partner was wearing. When Sonny informs Julian that Alexis is pregnant and Julian realizes it may be true, for all he knows, he returns home to his wife. She adamantly tells him they are through and whatever happens with her pregnancy, he will have nothing to do with any of it. He protests that he is reconsidering what he previous planned. When she "prompts" him to tell her that he murdered Carlos and set her up to take the fall for it, he tells her he will "do what she wants", under the condition that she takes a pregnancy test, in front of him, in order to prove she is really pregnant.
Maxie: This wedding is going to be absolutely perfect. [Chuckles] Nathan: Max? Maxie: No! No! Close your eyes! Don't look! Nathan: I won't. [SCENE_BREAK] Griffin: [Exhales deeply] Anna: Griffin? Griffin: Mm. Anna. Morning. Afternoon. Anna: Um, Epiphany said that I could find you here. Is -- is it a bad time? Griffin: As good a time as any. What, uh, what brings you by? Anna: Is everything all right? You seem... Griffin: Tired? Anna: Troubled. Could you use a friendly ear? Griffin: That depends. Are we still friends? [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Yes! Olivia booked another wedding. [Chuckles] Take that, Mayor Lomax. Who needs your damn business? Wow. Morgan: Mm-hmm. Carly: What are these for? Morgan: What do you mean? They're for you. Carly: [Laughs] Really? Morgan: Yeah. Carly: What do you want? Morgan: I don't want anything. Carly: Nothing? Morgan: No. You've already given me loyalty, you've given me support, tough love. Carly: I am good at the tough-love thing. Morgan: Okay, well, the flowers are just me saying thank you for being the best mom you can be. Carly: Aww. Morgan, they're beautiful! They are. Morgan: Mm-hmm. Carly: But I know I can't be the only reason for your great mood, so what's really going on? Morgan: Okay, it's Kiki. I haven't lost her, and now I never will. [SCENE_BREAK] Dillon: Thanks for meeting me. Kiki: Yeah. I mean, I didn't really understand your text. You said we need to talk, but before you left last night, you made things pretty clear. Dillon: Yeah, uh, about that, I needed to see you ASAP, because I realized I need to tell you something important. Kiki: Okay. What? Dillon: I can't give you up without a fight. I won't. [SCENE_BREAK] Julian: Alexis is pregnant? That makes no sense. You're lying. Sonny: Have it your way. Julian: Wait just a damn minute. Sonny: Do not touch me. I warned you. Julian: Alexis cannot be pregnant. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: You and Kiki must have had some chat last night. Morgan: Okay, I know what you're thinking. Carly: Yeah? Morgan: And if I were you, I'd be thinking the same thing. Carly: Okay, what am I thinking? Morgan: You're thinking I'm a little hyper. You're thinking maybe I skipped a dose. Carly: I do know the difference between being in a really good mood and being manic, okay? So, come on. Sit down. Tell me what happened with you and Kiki. Morgan: Okay, well, I thought things with me and Kiki were over, Mom, but seeing her last night, it made me realize that dad and the doctors were right about me leaving Freedman and getting back to the real world. Carly: That's great. Morgan: Yeah. Carly: But you didn't answer my question. [Laughs] Morgan: Oh. Okay, Kiki decided to give me another chance, which I thought, with everything that happened, was just gonna be a lost cause. Carly: Yeah, you guys have been through a lot in a very short time, Morgan. Morgan: I know, and I'm not even talking about all the mistakes I made before I went to the hospital, 'cause we got past those. I'm talking about [Sighs] I did something really stupid last time she came and saw me at Freedman. I know -- shocker, but... Carly: Okay, how stupid? Morgan: Well, I don't really want to get into the reasons right now, but I told Kiki that she should just stay away from me for good. Carly: Why did you do that? Morgan: Because I'm -- because I'm an idiot. And you know what? Dad helped me realize what I really want, and what I really want is to have Kiki in my life. Carly: Okay, I don't disagree with that, all right? But I-I want you to be careful. I don't want you to pin your recovery on another person. That's not fair to Kiki, and it's not fair to you, baby. Morgan: I know, but Kiki and I, we have this connection. We have this bond that I don't think should be broken, just like you and Dad have. Carly: Oh. [Chuckles] You know, your dad and I aren't the best role models for a relationship. You know. [Laughs] Morgan: Maybe not, but I'm learning from your mistakes, because I went to Kiki and I apologized, and she was very understanding, but... Carly: But it didn't work? Morgan: [Sighs] I didn't think it was gonna be enough, but Kiki came after me and she was willing to give me another shot. I mean, she's given me 3 million chances, and she's willing to give me 3 million and 1. And I'm not gonna let her down this time. Carly: Wow. Well, you guys have made a lot of progress. Morgan: Yeah, it was the perfect time to get out of Freedman. Carly: What do you mean? Morgan: Kiki was possibly getting interested in a guy. Carly: What guy? Morgan: Dillon Quartermaine. [SCENE_BREAK] Dillon: I was an idiot. Kiki: No. You were being considerate. Dillon: That is what I thought, too. I thought that I was being the good guy, that I was doing the right thing. So typical. It's so absurd. I mean, honestly, I don't know what I was thinking. Bowing out gracefully, so that I could make sure I don't interrupt true love? Kiki: Okay, before you say anything else -- Dillon: No, please, I-I-I got to get this out. Kiki: No, Morgan and I, we -- Dillon: Look, I get it, okay? You have been through a lot together. You and Morgan have packed more action and heartbreak than most European royal families have experienced in an entire lifetime, but that does not mean that you should be together. Kiki: Well, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be. Dillon: Actually, it kind of does. I think your and Morgan's relationship is filled with so much drama that you can't even see the harm that it's causing you both. Kiki: Nobody's harming anyone. Dillon: Really? Because one of you was shot, and the other was in a mental ward. That doesn't scream "healthy and sustaining." I care about you, Kiki. Very much. I love making you smile. I like seeing you laugh. I mean, we -- we have fun together. I'm not ready to throw that all away. Kiki: Okay, just slow down. Dillon: Okay, I-I moved so slow last night. I put the brakes on so fast, the airbags deployed. I don't know how much slower I can go. Kiki: Okay, because you and me, we -- we aren't going anywhere, because Morgan needs me, and I have to be there for him. Dillon: Okay, that's great that you want to help Morgan. It's wonderful. It's very loyal and it's very generous. But you have your own life to live, and you deserve to be happy, and you deserve to be with somebody who's gonna make you happy, and I think that I'm that person. Kiki: And what if it's not you? What if you're wrong? What if Morgan is that person? Dillon: Then you wouldn't be starting over for the 200th time. Maybe it is time for the both of you to go your separate ways. Kiki: Well, maybe I can't see it like that. Dillon: I'm hearing a lot of "maybes" and "what ifs." And I know that I can't make this decision for you, but I -- Kiki: There's no decision to make, Dillon. Dillon: But I can make you see what it might be like with me. That there might be a better way to go. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Fine. You know what? Alexis is not pregnant. You know the way to the elevator. Julian: But she wouldn't tell me? Sonny: Why would she? She thought you were a changed man, even after what you did to Duke. But after you killed... Julian: [Sighs] Sonny: ...Rivera and framed her... Julian: Okay, I did not frame her. Sonny: ...She sees you for the scum that you really are. How high did you think the body count had to get before Alexis said "enough"? You know what? You're right. I shouldn't have said anything. I should have let Alexis have that baby in peace until we figure out a way to put you behind bars or in the ground. Julian: Burn in hell, Corinthos. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: [Sighs] [Sighs] Okay. Okay, I can do this. I can do this. [Sighs] Somehow. [SCENE_BREAK] Griffin: Are we friends? Anna: You shouldn't have to ask that. Griffin: We were very cordial at the Nurses' Ball, but I had the feeling you were just making an effort for Emma's sake. Anna: Well, I couldn't really discuss it in front of her. Griffin: I know you objected to my granting Carlos last rites. Anna: I'm not gonna pretend I was happy with what happened. It was one thing to find out that you were a catholic priest, but it was another thing entirely to see that you were willing to give last rites to the man who murdered your father. It was a lot to process. Griffin: For me, as well. Anna: It didn't seem like that. No, I'm sorry. I didn't -- I didn't mean that to sound judgmental. I meant...you just leapt into action. It didn't seem to matter who Carlos was or what he had done. Griffin: It mattered. Anna: Well, it didn't stop you. Yes, at the time, I was very angry. But I've thought about it, and I realize that I-I don't have to understand your reasons for forgiving Carlos. They're your reasons. And you have a different point of view. Griffin: Thank you for understanding. I hope you -- I hope you can find a way to forgive me. Anna: There's nothing to forgive. If it wasn't clear before, I want us to stay friends -- good friends. Griffin: You sure? Anna: Yes. Not just because of your connection to Duke, though you know that is a significant part of it. But... you've been very supportive of me, and that means a great deal. Griffin: To me, as well. Anna: Okay. Good. [Sighs] So, that's settled. How did you become a priest? I'm -- I'm just so curious, if you're willing to talk about it. Griffin: Sure. I can -- I can talk about it. Anna: And why didn't you tell me before? Griffin: That's... more complicated. Anna: To even think about? Griffin: You're very observant. Anna: It's my job to be observant. Do you want to tell me what's going on? Griffin: How well do you know Nathan West? [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: [Sighs] All right. There. You can look now. Everything's okay. Nathan: Everything's okay? Maxie: Well, as for the dress in question, it's put away in our room. Whether or not everything's okay, that remains to be seen. Why are you here? Nathan: I...did Larkin a favor and switched shifts with him, so I could have the afternoon off. You said you were gonna be home, working, so I thought it might be a nice surprise. Maxie: Hmm. How much of that dress did you see? Nathan: Enough to know it's beautiful. Maxie: [Sighs] That is exactly what I was afraid of. I used every ounce of Crimson mojo to get that thing through customs. Nathan: Through customs? Maxie: Yeah, Nathan! It's on loan -- from a bridal shop in Lisbon! That's in Portugal! Nathan: Yeah, well, how many other Lisbons are there? Maxie: 17 -- in the United States. I checked. Nathan: Okay, so...I don't understand. Why have the dress here when I can, you know, do what I just did? Maxie: Because I wanted to make sure the dress was perfect. And I really hate the lighting at Crimson. So I brought the dress home, so I could see what it looks like, and it was perfect. The operative word being "was." Because now it's cursed! Nathan: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Dillon Quartermaine? Morgan: Mm-hmm. When I went to the Nurses' Ball, which this is -- I was looking for Kiki. This was right after I stupidly and heartlessly dumped her -- I found her backstage, kissing Dillon. Carly: That's why you wanted to go back to Freedman that night. Morgan: That was the reason. And then I went to Kiki's place, and Dillon showed up. Carly: Oh. Mm-hmm. Sounds like they're dating. Morgan: That's what I thought, but then Kiki came to me at Freedman, and she told me that, you know, the thing between her and Dillon, it was nothing. Like, they might have kissed a couple times, but compared to what Kiki and I have, it's -- it's nothing. Carly: So you guys talked, and she chose you? Morgan: She chose me. Carly: Okay. Morgan: Um, I do, however, think it's a good idea that Dillon keeps his distance for a little bit. I mean, given what, you know, the situation with Lulu and Dante, he's obviously not very big on respecting boundaries, so I'm gonna have a talk with him. Carly: Are you sure things are settled between you and Kiki? Morgan: You're really concerned about this, huh? Carly: I am. And listen to me. It's not just because of all the trouble you've been through, okay? Morgan: Mom, because I'm bipolar. We can just call it what it is. It's fine. Carly: I'm not -- I'm telling you there's another reason. Morgan: Is it because I'm your baby boy? Carly: You're damn right. And you always will be. And I want you to be happy. And I want so much for you, okay? And I want you to be happy with Kiki or any other woman that you choose to be with. Morgan: I love you. I love you, but it's definitely gonna be Kiki. I know that for sure. Carly: Okay. I love you, too. And I promise I won't worry so much about you. Morgan: And I promise I'm not gonna -- I'm gonna try not to give you reasons to worry about me, okay? But I'm gonna go see Kiki in the meantime. Carly: Okay. Morgan: Go see her right now. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: You are a great guy. Kiki: You are handsome, and you're smart, you're funny, you're very interesting. And you're gonna find someone -- someone wonderful. Dillon: I already found somebody who I think is wonderful. And the fact that you're saying all of those things about me, everything that you just said -- smart and funny, handsome, interesting -- which, by the way, thank you for that, unless you were just saying those as generic compliments. Kiki: I meant them. Dillon: Just maybe there is a small part of you that at least wants to consider the possibility of being with me instead of Morgan. Kiki: I can't. Dillon: Which begs the classic question -- "can't" or won't"? [SCENE_BREAK] Julian: Is it true? Alexis: Why are you back here? Julian: Is it true? Are you pregnant? Alexis: Who -- who told you that? Julian: You're not answering my question. Alexis: I want you to go. Julian: I have a right to know. Alexis: I mean it this time. I'm gonna call the police. Julian: Damn it, Alexis! Is it true? Alexis: It's true. I'm pregnant. Julian: Why didn't you tell me? Alexis: What for? Julian: What do you mean, what for? I'm the father. Alexis: Biologically. Why would I want my child anywhere near someone who lets someone take a fall for a murder they committed? Julian: Come on, Alexis. Diane is gonna get you off. You're not gonna serve 20 minutes, much less 20 years. Alexis: I've already spent 24 hours, so your -- your 20 minutes sailed by long ago! And you know what else? I shouldn't have spent one second in there for what you did, and you could have cleaned it up. Julian: How far along are you? Alexis: We're not having this conversation. Get out. Julian: I'm not going anywhere. Alexis: Yes, you are! Julian: Alexis, we need to make plans. Alexis: We do? Julian: Yes! Alexis: Do we?! Do we need to make some plans? Really? What kind of plans, Julian? Like how I'm gonna arrange for my prenatal care when I'm incarcerated or how you're gonna raise the child? Because my plans don't involve any of those things, nor do they involve any of you. Julian: What are you saying? Alexis: What is unclear about this? Julian: Okay, if you're gonna get rid of the baby, because you're angry at me... Alexis: There are so many things wrong with what you just said, I don't even know where to begin. Let me just start with "because I'm angry with you." I'm not angry with you, Julian. You didn't forget to take out the trash. You betrayed me! Julian: That's not what happened. Alexis: You married me under false pretenses! Julian: What? Alexis: You said you would get out of the mob, when you didn't. Julian: I did get out! Alexis: Leaving organized crime for the duration of my wedding ceremony is not getting out! Anyway, you're still in -- Julian: Alexis -- Julian: Okay, if you're gonna get rid of the baby, because you're angry at me... Alexis: There are so many things wrong with what you just said, I don't even know where to begin. Let me just start with "because I'm angry with you." I'm not angry with you, Julian. You didn't forget to take out the trash. You betrayed me! Alexis: So what difference does it make? Julian: Alexis, please. Alexis: Second of all, I'm not thinking of getting rid of this baby. I'm thinking of how I will keep this baby away from you. I will fight you in court and make sure that Sam or someone else that I trust has custody of this baby. Actually, you better make sure that somebody kills me in prison. Seriously. Because I will never allow my child anywhere near you! Julian: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I would never hurt you. Alexis: You're hurting me now! You've done nothing but hurt me! You've hurt our family, you hurt everybody, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of it stopping! Julian: Shh. You need to calm down. Alexis: No, I'm not gonna calm down. Why should I? Julian: Well, for the baby's sake -- Alexis: No! Don't you... ever mention this baby again. These last words that we've just uttered will be the last ones that we talk about when it comes to this baby. You may not be punished for what you did, and I may spend the rest of my life in prison, but I promise you -- I promise you -- that you will never, ever get anywhere near this child! [SCENE_BREAK] Morgan: Hey. Sonny: Hey. Morgan: [Chuckling] Hey! What's going on? Sonny: I see you're out enjoying your freedom. Morgan: Yeah. A little bit. Sonny: Yeah. Morgan: Yeah, I was actually coming here to see Kiki, and then I got here and realized I had the time wrong, so... are you -- do you need to go anywhere right now? Sonny: It doesn't matter. What's -- what's going on? Morgan: Um, so, you know I'm out of the hospital and I'm back with Kiki, and, uh, I feel like the next step is -- is I need to get a job, and I'd like to start working right away. I'd like to start working for you. Sonny: Great, 'cause I'm opening up a coffee house on the promenade, and you can work there as soon as it's open. Morgan: Great. When's that -- when's that starting? Sonny: Couple of weeks. You can, you know, come back to your real life. Morgan: Yeah. I'm doing that, you know. Especially now that I'm on track with -- with Kiki. Things are good. Sonny: Let me -- let me just say this. You -- I know I've told you before. You can't rely on just one person to keep your bearings. You know what I'm saying? Morgan: Yeah. I do. But -- Sonny: But... what? Morgan: Um, look, you know -- you know that I love -- I love my brothers, I love my sisters. Sonny: Uh-huh. Morgan: I love you and Mom. Sonny: Well, I'm glad you remembered. Morgan: But Kiki's the one that -- that matters most right now. She's the one I really need. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: "Can't" or "won't" -- it amounts to the same thing. Dillon: No. The difference is everything. If you are reconnecting with Morgan because you feel some sense of obligation, then you are doing a huge disservice to yourself and to me and, quite frankly, to Morgan, as well. Kiki: You talk about Morgan like he's some losing bet that I should just set aside, but... Morgan is someone who I care very deeply about. Dillon: I know. I know that this is gonna be hard for you. Obviously, you are drawn to the chaos that surrounds Morgan. And in the end, you might not be able to resist it. But shouldn't you at least consider the alternative? Kiki: Don't. We barely know each other. Dillon: Well, then change that! Get to know me. Find out if we work. I mean, you might like being in a relationship that doesn't include screaming fights and hideous betrayal. You might enjoy being happy for a change. [Carly sees them kissing in the park.] [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: The potentially perfect wedding dress, a one-of-a-kind design from Lisbon, has now been transformed into an omen of direst doom. Nathan: Would it help if I said that's just a superstition? Maxie: No. It would not. Nathan: Then I will not say that. Maxie: Oh! Nathan, it's just -- our luck has really, really sucked, and I just wanted this one thing -- and a whole bunch of other little things, but mostly this one thing -- to be whammy-free. And now... Nathan: I know, Max. I know. I'm sorry. I am so sorry. These days, it seems like I'm just putting you through one thing after another. Maxie: Hey. I'm not exactly uncomplicated, either. [Chuckles] Nathan: Look, if your heart was set on this dress, then all I can say is, I hope I can make it up to you somehow. Maxie: You know what? Now that I think about it, maybe that dress wasn't so perfect after all. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. And I'm paying attention, so the wrong dress goes back to Portugal tomorrow. The new -- new, right dress is out there waiting for me, and I'm gonna find it. Nathan: Mm. Maxie: And then I'm gonna marry you, and everything's gonna be perfect. Nathan: Damn right. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: Nathan? Um, yeah, I worked very closely with him, obviously, when I was commissioner. I think he was my hire, and he had impressive records from NYPD, made detective quickly, was decorated for heroism. And, on a personal level... extremely kind to me when I was going through a difficult patch. And, of course, Mac and Felicia are thrilled that he's marrying their daughter. Why? Griffin: I...got pulled into a situation with Maxie and Nathan, and I'm -- I'm not sure how well I handled it. Anna: You're not interested in Maxie, aren't you? Griffin: No! No. Absolutely not. Anna: That seemed very adamant. Griffin: I'm on a leave of absence from the active clergy, but I haven't, in any way, forsaken my vows. Anna: Okay. Do you mind me asking why you left the priesthood? Griffin: It... it involves a woman. She -- she came to me for guidance. Her -- her husband was cold and distant, and he neglected her. She felt alone... isolated. I-I tried to provide support. And I allowed myself to be seduced. Anna: Allowed yourself? Griffin: There's a point in any seduction where the one who succumbs decides, however passively, to give in. I made that decision. I chose to break my vows, and -- and... Anna: What? Griffin: Suffice it to say, it ended horribly. Anna: I'm so sorry. Griffin: Yeah, me too. Anna: And this woman -- did you manage to help her somehow? Griffin: She didn't need any help -- at least, not the kind she claimed to be seeking. Anna: Oh, so the husband... Griffin: Wasn't the man she described to me. In the end, we all paid a terrible price. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: One of the things, Morgan, is you've -- you've talked like this before. Morgan: Okay, I'm not -- I'm not manic. Sonny: Uh-huh. Morgan: I'm just happy. I'm happy, Dad. I mean, the woman that I love loves me back. It's just like how Mom loves you. Sonny: Well, one -- one of the problems with being bipolar is when you're in a really good mood, people worry. Morgan: I promise you that's all it is. Sonny: Okay. Morgan: Okay? Dad, you have been extremely supportive of me, and I can always be honest with you about how I feel, and I know for a fact that if things start to go south, you and Mom are gonna be the first ones to pick it up. Sonny: That's the plan. Morgan: Okay. What I'm saying -- with Kiki, I'm not making her my whole world. But... the relationship's very important to me. It's my reason for a lot of things, and I'm -- I'm happy, Dad. I'm really happy. Sonny: I don't have to remind you that you -- you two have a history together, right? Morgan: No. No. Sonny: And if you're gonna get back together, you got to take your time. It's got to be slow. Morgan: Dad. Trust me. I'm taking this at exactly the speed I need to take it at. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: I'm sorry. This -- I-I... I can't do this right now. Dillon: And I will try to respect that. Kiki: Thank you. Dillon: I said what I came to say. Kiki: Did a little more than just talk. Dillon: My only regret is not saying or doing all of that last night. But I've got to get back to work. Plus, I don't want to pressure you any more than I already have. Kiki: Little late for that. Dillon: Just think about what I said, Kiki. Think about how you feel with me. I'm not imagining that smile. I didn't imagine that kiss. I don't want you to throw away something we both know could be great. [SCENE_BREAK] Julian: I can't believe all of this anger and hate coming out of what should be an amazing moment. Alexis: I wonder why. Julian: Alexis, you're having our baby, okay? And all you can talk about right now is how you're gonna keep me away from my own child? Alexis: I'm going to prison because of you! I-I don't understand how that doesn't register in you. But, then again, you don't take responsibility for your messes anyway. You don't even do your own dirty work. You had Carlos kill Duke. And anyway, who cares? What does this even matter? Because we're done here. Julian: We are not done! No, we're not! Alexis, we're not done, because despite -- despite everything that's happened between us, I-I-I love you. Alexis: Oh, my God. Julian: And the fact that we're having our baby, my baby, that love is -- is -- is -- it's somehow greater now, Alexis, which means it's true something -- something does have to change. Alexis: What are you saying? Julian: We need to rethink how we proceed with everything from this point on. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Look, I think the reason that I panicked when you walked through the door is because our engagement, our relationship has been filled with obstacles and complications. I'm really trying not to tempt fate. Nathan: I know, Maxie, and I'm sorry. I should have told you about Claudette sooner. Maxie: Oh, my God! I could go the rest of my life with never hearing that stupid name again. Oh! Hey! Our -- our -- our announcement photos, they were posted online this morning. Nathan: Hmm. They came out great. Maxie: I know, right? And when it comes to our announcement, our engagement, our wedding, the two of us, we're the only things that matter. Nathan: I know. And we're the only ones who can make the next crucial decision. Maxie: What's that? Nathan: We have to choose our wedding date. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: Are you in some kind of trouble? Griffin: I've said more than I should. The rest is between God, my confessor, and myself. Anna: Well, if you ever need to expand your support system... Griffin: You will be my first phone call. Anna: Okay. Griffin: Speaking of support, I heard that Julian Jerome's wife was arrested for Carlos Rivera's murder. Anna: Yeah, she was. Griffin: How are you feeling about that? Anna: Frustrated. Doesn't get me any closer to what I want. Griffin: I know this is gonna sound cliché coming from me, but have faith. Anna: Oh, I do. In the legal system. It may be flawed, but it's the finest in the world, and I'm a damn good investigator. So one way or the other, Julian will pay for what he's done. Griffin: I hope you're right. And not just because I want justice for my father. I want you to finally unburden yourself from his death and move on. From what I've heard, I believe Duke would want you to find happiness with someone new. Anna: Oh, well... first things first. I have to build a case against Julian for murder. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: What exactly do you want to rethink? Julian: I mean, if we could just -- [Scoffs] If we could just go back to before Carlos died, to everything that we had then, everything that we shared... I don't know, maybe -- maybe things would work out. Alexis: I don't really see how. We can't exactly change what you did. Julian: Well, maybe we could change some things. Alexis: You're gonna have to clarify. Julian: [Sighs] [Sighs] Okay, so, um... my suggestion that you go to trial and hope for an acquittal, I didn't really consider the toll that it would take on you, even under the best of circumstances. And now that you're gonna have our baby, obviously, everything changes, Alexis. So if you would... if you would just allow me... if you would just allow me to show you how much I still love you... ...I might be willing to reconsider my position. Alexis: So you're saying you won't let me stand trial for what you did? [SCENE_BREAK] Griffin: [Remembers having sex with Claudette when he was a priest.] [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: How about...the 19th? Maxie: What about the 26th? Nathan: Well, if that's the case, maybe we better push it to next month? Maxie: No! No more pushing. Nathan: Okay. Maxie: Um... ooh! What about... Nathan: You sure? Maxie: Positive. Nathan: It's not too soon? Maxie: As far as I'm concerned, it's not soon enough. [SCENE_BREAK] Morgan: Dillon. Come here. Dillon: Hey, Morgan. What brings you by? Morgan: Uh, I'm just waiting for Kiki. She's starting her shift soon. Dillon: Oh. Morgan: Look... I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but Kiki and I, we're -- we're back together now. Dillon: I see. Morgan: Yeah. And, again, don't want you to take this the wrong way. I'm not trying to puff my chest out or mark my territory or anything like that. Dillon: Okay. Morgan: I think it's best you keep your distance from Kiki just for the time being. You get what I'm saying, right? [SCENE_BREAK] [Birds chirping] Carly: What the hell do you think you're doing to my son? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Welcome. Anna: Said the spider to the fly. Sonny: Why -- why is it that after everything we've been through, Anna, you still don't seem to trust me? Anna: Oh, my trust is very limited oh. And conditional, you know. I trust that you want Julian to pay almost as badly as I do, so... Sonny: Well, you should trust that I respect you, that I won't compromise you, and I won't do anything to jeopardize this case. Anna: Okay. I appreciate that. Sonny: But if it doesn't work out, I reserve the right to, you know, take actions on my own. Anna: Let's hope that it does work out, because honestly, I-I don't think that there's anything I'd like less than have to investigate you for Julian's murder. Sonny: Don't worry about it. I won't give you anything to investigate. Anna: I'm counting on it. Uh, why don't we just focus on the matter at hand? Did you set it up? Sonny: I did. And Julian took the bait. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Noble intentions aren't gonna help me here. I need to know you're not just saying what I want to hear. Julian: I'm telling you the truth. Alexis: No, you're not. You're talking in circles, and I'm sick of your games. Julian: I'm not playing games, Alexis. I swear. Alexis: Fine. Promise me that I won't stand trial for Carlos' murder, because you're the one that killed him. Julian: There's so much I want to say, so much we need to talk about. But... before we go any further, there's just one more thing. Alexis: Oh, for the love of God. What?! Julian: I need you to take this now. Prove to me you're pregnant. [NEXT_ON] Carly (to Carly): If you care so much about Morgan, why the hell were you kissing Dillon? Dillon (to Morgan): Don't worry. She's gonna choose me. Nina (to Franco): Why didn't you answer my text? Finn (to Hayden): The disease. It's trying to kill me. Anna (to Sonny): Don't you worry. Julian won't hurt Alexis. Alexis (to Julian): Tell the police that you killed Carlos, then I'll take the test.
