Jason reveals he has real concerns about Jake's "real or alleged" fear of the break-in at the house and he seems to know the only person he can confide in about that is Sam. Elizabeth takes Jake to the hospital to consult with Dr. Kevin Collins who recommends a child therapist. Dr. Renault speaks with Jake then tells Elizabeth that her son is having difficulty communicating his feelings. She has found that children with his particular issue can benefit from art therapy. Hearing that, Elizabeth tells them she has concerns, not about art therapy, but about working with Franco. Both psychiatrists tell her that they know about Franco's history, but he's been proven to be successful, and it's in their best interest to give it a shot. Jake instantly rushes to work with Franco and draw the moment he sees him and seems a lot more comfortable with him than he is with his mom. Elizabeth talks to the two docs while Jake and Franco are together and as soon as she's done, she tells her son it's time to go home. He wants to continue his last drawing but rushes to leave two of them with Franco. After Jake leaves, Franco reviews the drawings and goes to consult with Kevin, telling him his concerns as he remembers himself as a child making similar drawings, and warns Kevin this is "not good." André meets with Anna and Robert to brainstorm about how and where to find Sabrina and Carlos. He tells them that given all the information he knows about both of them and the situation, he bets they have fled to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Sabrina is with Carlos somewhere in a private cabin where she is having difficulty separating from everyone in Port Charles. After Carlos finds her talking with Felix, Sabrina decides to make the break immediately and flings her cell phone into the woods. Mayor Lomax has gotten Olivia arrested for verbally assaulting her when she tried to stop her breastfeeding her baby in public. At the police station in handcuffs, Olivia calls Julian for the sole purpose of watching their son. When he finds out what happened to Olivia, he and Alexis rush to the station. Alexis instantly decides to represent Olivia and file charges against the mayor for violating her civil rights. Nina meets with Brady, a reporter who is very encouraged by her sudden creative success with the magazine. Although she is not certain what she is going to do in the next Crimson issue, Nina fakes it by mimicking what Brady says about seeking out real women. When Nina hears about the controversy with the mayor and Olivia, she decides to concentrate on the issue of breastfeeding in public.
Nina: Hey, um, guess what? Our numbers -- they weren't just a fluke. Circulation is up, and the magazine is just jumping off the shelf. And, um, people are renewing their subscriptions, and also, our ad revenue is up for our next issue. Everything is really great. Franco: Great. Nina: I know. I made a failing magazine a success. Franco: I knew you could pull it off. Nina: You knew I could pull it off, but Julian didn't know. He's gonna eat his words. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Are you sure you can't play hooky with me? I was thinking we'd go swimming in our big, pretty tub. Julian: Hmm, you know, as much as I'd love to... Alexis: You know there's no good way to answer that. Julian: I know. But I've got to get back to Crimson. Nina and I are being interviewed by the Barrington Financial Times. Then she's gonna pitch me her ideas, and I can't wait to pick the worst one. Alexis: So you've gotten over being upset about the success of the "green" issue? Julian: You were right. That was a fluke. Nina fell backward into an idea that worked, but she still has no idea how to run a magazine. So I'm sure her ideas will be terrible, and I can't wait to hear them. [Cell phone rings] Alexis: Mm. Julian: Excuse me. Hey, Olivia. Olivia: Julian, would it be possible for you to take the baby for the day? Julian: Actually, I'm sorry, I can't. I've got meetings all day. Can't you get a -- can't you get a babysitter? Olivia: Not really. Uh, it's kind of an emergency. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Dr. Renault is excellent. I'm sure she'll be able to uncover whatever's going on with Jake in no time. Elizabeth: Well, thank you for recommending her. And all your support. Kevin: I'm happy to help. Elizabeth: Jake has been so possessive of Jason and so distant from everyone else. I'm just... glad he's getting the treatment, you know? Kevin: Me, too, but to be honest... he's not the only one I'm worried about. How are you? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Hey. Jason: Hi. You okay? Jason: I just tweaked my ankle. It's okay. Didn't expect to see you this morning. Sam: I actually came here to see you. I was gonna leave a message at the front desk, but I figured, why not come in for breakfast. Hungry? Jason: I just ate. But I can have coffee with you, if that works. Sam: Yeah, of course. That sounds good. Jason: Sit on down. Sam: Okay. Jason: So, uh... what's the message? Sam: Okay. I talked to my contact at the DA's office. And Dr. Sheinberg, he went in there this morning. And he swore that Nikolas was the aggressor, he threw the first punch, and that the fall from the terrace was an accident. Jason: I think you might have just saved my ass. [SCENE_BREAK] [Cell phone ringing] André: Hello, Anna. Anna: André. André: Um... may I come in? Anna: No, I'm sorry. This isn't a very good time right now. I have... Robert: André. André: Robert. Robert: Been a while. André: I haven't seen you since I moved to Port Charles. Congrats on your daughter's wedding, by the way. Both of you. Anna: Wait, is this the contact you were talking about? André: Today's your lucky day. Robert: André here is gonna lead us to Carlos and Sabrina. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Felix? Oh, my God. It's so good to hear your voice, too. I'm so sorry I haven't been in touch. I've just... I've missed you so much. But, hey, listen, I can't really talk right now. Wait, what did you... wait, why would Michael stop by? He said he made a mistake? [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: So you didn't think to mention that you consult for the WSB? André: I do forensic work for several agencies besides the WSB. Robert: He has no loyalty to anyone. I mean, we tolerate him 'cause he's the best at what he does, right? André: I am that good. Anna: Is this how come you knew so much about me, because of your connection to the WSB? André: I swear, I only knew you through reputation. I'd never read your file. But I want to. Robert: Wait a minute. How do you two know each other, exactly? André: We've seen each other around town. Anna: He was my therapist. André: And that. [SCENE_BREAK] Julian: Excuse me, Officer. What are you doing with my son? Olivia: Hi. Julian: How did this happen? Olivia: I was attempting to feed our son in my place of business, and apparently the mayor had a complaint. Alexis: Hold on a second. Am I hearing this right? Did you just get arrested for breastfeeding your kid? [Baby crying] Mayor Lomax: No, she was not. She was arrested for assaulting me. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: So, you know, a reporter's coming to interview me. How do I look? Franco: You look beautiful. And stunning and... beautiful. Nina: You... Franco: If only you could take a step back and see what I see. Here's what I see when I see us, okay? We're doing pretty well. I'm -- I'm happy with this burgeoning career I have at the hospital. I feel like I'm actually helping people, and I'm really happy for you, Nina. Highly successful managing editor of a magazine. And the best part is, it's actually happening. Nina: Yeah, it is happening. But I made the last issue a success. I honestly don't know how I'm gonna follow up. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: If only you can find another convenient eyewitness. Sam: What are you talking about? There's no way the DA's office is gonna prosecute you and move forward with this case. Jason: No, sorry. I was referring to what's happening at Elizabeth's house. This guy Jake says he saw on New Year's Eve, he maybe came back and broke in. Sam: Wait, what do you mean, maybe? Jason: It just doesn't add up. I told you that there was no sign of forced entry. The picture was smashed. Jake's terrified, and... it's just adding to Elizabeth's stress. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: The last few months can't have been easy for you. Elizabeth: [Chuckles] Kevin: Learning the truth about Jason's identity at your wedding, which ended your relationship with him. Elizabeth: Yeah. [Chuckles] You're right. It's been difficult. Kevin: Hmm. And even more so, the one person that you'd normally lean on, being Patrick, up and moved. Elizabeth: Mm-hmm. Kevin: Now, on top of all that, you've had these... bizarre happenings at your house. Now, that's more than enough stress for anyone to handle. Elizabeth: And I'm not just anyone. Is that what you're saying? Kevin: I'm aware of your history, Elizabeth. And I am concerned that you could have another breakdown. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: Why would you of all people doubt yourself? You came up with the "green" issue! You! You practically single-handedly resuscitated this magazine. Nina: But you know that was an accident. I mean, that wasn't on purpose. I need to come up with something in advance. Franco: Okay, you've done it before. I have no doubt you can do it again. Nina: Yeah, but I don't have a lot of time before my interview. And I got to figure something out. And where's Julian? He's supposed to be here. Franco: I'm sure he's somewhere looking at himself in the mirror, so he could be awhile. I'm -- okay. I have to go. I have patients that I have to help finger-paint their way back to mental health. But you can do this. Nina: Julian, where are you? [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: I didn't assault anybody! Mayor Lomax: You created a public disturbance. Olivia: I bumped a table, and it made a noise! Mayor Lomax: You used your words to incite violence. Olivia: What -- what violence?! Mayor Lomax: You verbally assaulted me. Olivia: I simply told the mayor that I was exercising my right as a citizen to breastfeed my child in my place of work or anywhere else. Isn't that right, Alexis? Alexis: Absolutely right. Olivia: And I am sorry, Mayor. When you got all weird and judgmental and demanded that I not feed my child in your presence, I may have lost my temper a little. Mayor Lomax: A little? Olivia: I'm Italian. That's a little. Julian: Olivia. Olivia: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. [Clears throat] I'm sorry. Maybe I could have handled it a little bit better. When it comes to my son, sometimes I'm a bit of a mama bear. Mayor Lomax: If you had simply excused yourself as opposed to exposing your breast in public, none of this would have been necessary. Olivia: No, none of this would have been necessary if your goon hadn't overreacted. Mayor Lomax: My security escort did everything within his rights. He was there to protect me. Olivia: He was afraid, because I stood up at a table? Mayor Lomax: You were provoking an assault on a public official. That's a crime in this state. And now you have to face the charges. Officer, please, can you take this woman to her cell? Officer: Yes, Mayor Lomax. Julian: Wait a sec. Is this -- is this really necessary? I mean, honest-- look, Olivia, don't worry about a thing. I'm gonna make sure you get the best attorney, okay? Alexis: Hold it! Hold it! Hold it. You're not taking that lady anywhere. I'm representing her. I'm now your lawyer. [SCENE_BREAK] André: With the information Robert provided, I've created a rudimentary profile of Carlos and how he might behave on the run. Anna: Okay. I'm all ears. André: With his background in organized crime, he'd have an extensive network offering passage and shelter out of the country or to any number of safe houses. But he's traveling with a pregnant woman. Anna: Oh, she is very pregnant. I mean, she's almost due. André: Oh, Sabrina is Rivera's Achilles heel. If he risked coming out of hiding to persuade her to go with him, that means he cares very deeply about her and about being a father. Robert: So, this time around, he's not worried about just his own skin. André: Not when he has both his child and its mother to think about. And if that baby is coming soon, Carlos will become increasingly desperate. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: I don't know what to say. Felix, I mean, even if Michael wants to reconcile, I... well, it's complicated. Well, the fact that I'm pregnant with another man's child, for starters. Michael said that? [Sighs] No, I know. Yes, of course. I understand that -- that Carlos is dead, but I... [Door opens] Sabrina: Hey, listen, Felix, um, I have to go. Wait, what? Okay, thanks. Carlos: Did you just call Felix? Querida... that was a very bad idea. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: The cops haven't gotten back to us about the fingerprints, most likely because there are none to find. And like I said, I didn't see a sign of a break-in, and the cops didn't, either, but Elizabeth swears that she locked the door behind her and since no one was there to see what happened... Sam: Not even the boys? Jason: No, Cam and Aiden, they were at Audrey's. Jake was home. Sam: Did you ask him about it? Jason: Yeah, but he's a kid. He makes things up. Sam: [Chuckles] Like what? Jason: He said you did it. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Walking out on the roof in the dead of winter, ready to jump off and orphan my boys wasn't my proudest moment. Kevin: You were ill. You got help. It's admirable. Elizabeth: [Chuckles] Thank you. I know I should be looking at it like that 'cause getting help is always the right choice. It just sucks when you're the one who needs it. Kevin: Do you need it now? Elizabeth: Kevin, I... Kevin: The circumstances and the level of stress are on par with what made you ill before. Now, I am concerned that you could relapse, just like anyone could with any kind of illness. Elizabeth: Okay, but you wouldn't be worried about someone's cancer coming back just because their wedding didn't go off. Kevin: Actually, I would. High levels of stress often exacerbate preexisting conditions. But then...you know that. Elizabeth: Right. Yes. Yes, I know that. Kevin: I wouldn't be a very good doctor if I didn't advise you to keep a close eye on your physical and emotional health. Elizabeth: I will. I will. Kevin: If your thoughts and your emotions start to get the best of you, if you feel overwhelmed, just get help. Elizabeth: You don't have to worry about me. But I'm grateful that you do. Kevin: Well, your wellbeing is my only concern. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Jake thought that I smashed the picture? Jason: He's just confused and angry. Sam: At me? Jason: At the situation. That Elizabeth and I broke up. Sam: And he blames me. Jason: There's no way to explain to Jake what happened, that his mother lied all those months. She's his mom. I can't do that to him. I can't do that to her. I want him to think well of his mother. Sam: Yes, I know. Of course, you do. Jason: So, you know, I explained to him that of course you didn't break the picture frame and it's bad to lie. Sam: How'd he take that? Jason: Oh, I think he got it. It's just, uh... I don't know, man. He's so freaked out. Elizabeth is taking him to see a therapist today. I hope that helps. I would really like to figure out what's going on in that house so he could feel secure. Sam: Do you think that whoever broke into the house is targeting Elizabeth? Jason: Or me. Sam: Okay. Let me -- let me tell you two things. First of all, you don't live there anymore. Jason: My son does. Sam: I understand that. But mobsters target mobsters. It's business. They don't go in and break pictures. That's personal. Jason: Does someone have a personal vendetta against me? Sam: I-I can think of one person. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Hey, buddy. How'd your visit go with the doctor? Jake: It went okay. Dr. Renault: Jake and I had a nice talk. Elizabeth: Really? Is that right? You know what? I've got some crayons back here and a pad of paper. Why don't you take this and go hang out on the bench over there just for a little bit, okay? Thanks. How'd it really go? How is he? Dr. Renault: Jake is very closed off. He didn't want to communicate. Elizabeth: Okay, um, well, you said you had a nice chat. What'd you talk about? Dr. Renault: He's very attached to his father. He didn't really want to talk about much else. It's clear we have more trust-building to do. Kevin: That's a common reaction when a child is separated from a parent, especially for this long. Elizabeth: Or it could be from a trauma, something that he doesn't want to talk about or something so bad he's buried. Let's not jump to any conclusions. Dr. Renault: I need to get Jake to express himself, which is why I'm recommending trying art therapy. Elizabeth: Oh, yeah, I don't -- I don't know about that. Dr. Renault: In conjunction with ongoing talk therapy, art therapy can be a very useful tool. While every child is different, I've had a lot of success with this method. I think it could really work for Jake. Franco: Hey! I know you. How's it going? [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: No, I didn't call Felix. He called me. Carlos: [Sighs] Sabrina, come on. You know the drill. Anytime you use that phone, we risk giving away our location. Sabrina: No, I know that! I'm just -- look, honestly, I'm just having a really hard time getting used to life on the run, okay? Felix is the last link that I have to my old life. Carlos: Yeah, well... leaving Port Charles meant cutting all links, okay? Anytime we reach out to somebody we knew there, the cops could come knocking on our door. Sabrina: Well, then there's something that you should probably know. Felix said that Anna Devane is looking for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: So, Sabrina and Carlos were involved for some time, but she left him because he was too controlling. Robert: Abusive? Anna: Um, no. I just think old-fashioned. You know, he didn't want her to work or pursue her career, that kind of thing. Robert: Well, now that she's on the run, she can't do either. André: This Sabrina, is she typically social? Anna: Yeah. She is. She was very collaborative in the Nurses' Ball. She's friendly, yeah. André: So, Carlos, historically, doesn't view Sabrina as her own person, an independent woman. He's going to use her condition to manipulate her into going along with his plans. Now, I do believe that his devotion to her is sincere. Anna: I guess he just suffers from being overprotective. André: Which is why he would want to make sure she's comfortable. He'd be averse to taking any unnecessary risks. And, most likely, he's going to want them in a place that has adequate medical care in case he needs to call on them in an emergency. Anna: Well, they can't fly. I mean, she's so pregnant, I don't think they'd let her on a plane. Robert: So that narrows it down a bit. He's not gonna take -- he's not gonna take Sabrina anywhere that he can't travel to by land or sea. [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Nina: Oh! Hell-- hey. Brady: Nina Reeves? Nina: Yes. Brady: Hi. Brady Bevan. Nina: Hi. Brady, from the Barrington Financial Times. Brady: Right. Nina: Ah, thank you for coming. Brady: It's my pleasure. Is, uh, Mr. Jerome on his way? Nina: [Sighs] It seems as if our esteemed publisher is not gonna make this meeting, so we can reschedule. Brady: No worries. I'm perfectly happy to interview you on your own. After all, you are the brains behind Crimson. Nina: [Chuckles] Yes, I am. Brady: I like how you're owning it. Nina: Yes, I am, except, uh... I didn't do it all by myself. Brady: No one does, but not everyone acknowledges that. Nina: Well, honestly, if my Associate Editor Maxie Jones knew that she wasn't being acknowledged, she'd never let me hear the end of it. Brady: And I want you to talk all about that. But first, I want to hear how you came up with the "green" issue and what you have planned for an encore. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: My client was performing a perfectly natural, perfectly legal act. She was feeding her child, and yet you took it upon yourself to shame her, as if she were committing some sort of a crime? Mayor Lomax: Clearly you haven't been listening, Counselor. I told you, Ms. Falconeri was not arrested for public indecency. In fact, breastfeeding had nothing to do with her arrest. Olivia: Yeah, right. Mayor Lomax: Your client was verbally abusing me. That's the reason why she was arrested. Alexis: And what was the subject of this verbal assault? Mayor Lomax: [Sighs] It doesn't make any difference. The point is -- Alexis: No, no, no, no. It does make a difference. It makes a difference to me. So you correct me if I'm wrong. Olivia: You know I will. Alexis: All right, so from this conversation, what I can gather, is the two of you were at the Metro Court. You were breastfeeding your son in your presence, and you reacted with shock and horror. How am I doing? Olivia: So far, so good. Alexis: Okay, so when my client asserted her legal right to breastfeed her child, you responded by harassing her, embarrassing her, making her look vulnerable. Essentially, you were doing exactly the same thing that you just had her arrested for. Olivia: Hey, you go, Alexis. You're on a roll. Alexis: So, at this point, Ms. Falconeri's trying to distance herself from a hostile environment that you created, so she went to leave, and when she got up, she accidentally jostled the table. Mayor Lomax: That's quite a spin you've put on it, Counselor. Alexis: I'm not done, because there is a much, much bigger problem here. Mayor Lomax: And what might that be? Alexis: The law very clearly states that a woman cannot be arrested for breastfeeding in public. But you, Madam Mayor, have violated the law by harassing and arresting my client. And should this ever go to court, I will say exactly that. And more. Julian: [Clears throat] Madam Mayor. Surely there's gotta be a way that we can work this out. Mayor Lomax: The law is the law. Ms. Falconeri broke it. She has to pay the piper. Julian: No, I understand. It's just -- I don't know if that's a good idea. You certainly don't want a scandal. Scandal? What scandal? Julian: Well, the kind of scandal that will bury you hip deep should the, uh, press pick up on this. [Baby crying] Olivia: My sweet baby. I need to tend to my son. Officer: And I would love to let you, but I can't while you're under arrest. Olivia: Well, then you explain that. You explain that to my innocent, hungry son. Explain to him why you won't let his mother feed him. Officer: Tell me where the bottle is, and I'll do it. Olivia: Oh, the bottle. The bottle is in my bra, genius! If I was walking around with a bottle, I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place! Officer: Wait, so you're gonna... breastfeed your baby in public? Olivia: Yes, I'm gonna breastfeed him right here, and you're gonna help me, 'cause literally my hands are tied. Alexis: There you go. Here you go, sweetpea. You want to see Mommy? Come on. Okay. Here we go. Are you hungry? You're hungry. All right, Mom. Are you ready? Can you make yourself useful, please, and get the blanket? Here you go. There's Mommy. Olivia: Come here, my sweetheart. Alexis: There you go, baby. Olivia: Oh, hi, sweetpea. There you go! I got you. Alexis: Thank you. Olivia: I see your tummy. I see your tummy. There you go. Alexis: Okey-dokey. There you go. Say cheese. [Baby crying] Olivia: It's okay. It's okay. [Cell phone beeps] Alexis: Thank you very much. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: Uh, so when the magazine came back from the printer and every page was green, I mean... um... I realized that my vision had been fulfilled. I was making a statement. And I wanted to raise the level of conversation about the environment using the magazine. Brady: Clearly the work of an innovator. Nina: Thank you. Thank you. Brady: So, now that the public has had a taste of your genius, what can they expect next? Nina: The public can expect, uh... in our next issue what they want. Brady: You want the issue to reflect the readership? Nina: Yes. Yes. They're the ones who made green Crimson a success, so, uh, I-I want to show who they are. Brady: And who are they? Nina: Um... well, they -- they are... women who -- who have a sparkling image and they are cool and effervescent. Brady: Say no more, Ms. Reeves. I know exactly what you're doing. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Franco has a personal vendetta against me? Sam: He did at one point. He did a lot of despicable things. Jason: How despicable? Should he be in prison? Sam: It's complicated. But Franco -- he had a tumor removed awhile back, and his lawyer, namely Diane, was able to get all of the criminal charges against him dropped because of the tumor. He was deemed not responsible and walked. Jason: Is he still dangerous? Sam: It depends who you ask. I think so. But he's carved out a nice, little life for himself. I don't think he would provoke you by trying to go after one of your kids. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: So, what's your favorite color? Elizabeth: You want to send Jake to art therapy...with Franco. Dr. Renault: Children who have trouble verbalizing their problems often use art as a way to express themselves. Elizabeth: Yeah, I know, and I don't have a problem with art therapy. I'm concerned with... Dr. Renault: I know Franco has a colorful history. Kevin: Look, no one is as shocked as I am, but... Franco gets results. Dr. Renault: And it's clear Jake's already formed a relationship with Franco. Elizabeth: You say that like it's a good thing. Kevin: You think for one second that I would support this if I thought Jake would be in danger? Dr. Renault: If this doesn't work, I promise I'll pull Jake out. But for now, I think it's worth a try. [SCENE_BREAK] Robert: Carlos is on the run for federal crimes. He's not gonna want to stick around this country too long. André: Well, there it is. Carlos would want to get out of the U.S. As quickly as possible, but he wouldn't want to be on the run too long. He'd want to get Sabrina and the baby settled as quickly as possible, which only leaves one option. Anna: Canada. [SCENE_BREAK] Carlos: Anna Devane was looking for you? Sabrina: Yeah, that's what Felix told me. Carlos: She already talked to you once, right? She was asking you questions about me? Sabrina: Yes. I mean, look, I could be wrong, but I don't know, it almost seemed as if she thought that you might still be alive. Look, you know what? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, 'cause how could she know, right? Carlos: She can't. Sabrina: No. Carlos: No, she doesn't. Sabrina: No. Carlos: No. I don't think we have anything to worry about. As long as we don't go reaching out to people from our old life. Sabrina: Yeah, no. I know. I know. This is just... [Sighs] This is just a lot harder than I thought it would be. Carlos: I understand. It's okay. You'll see. Come on. You'll see. We're gonna have a whole, new life in no time, okay? Okay. I'm gonna take care of you. I'll make sure you and that baby have everything you need. Sabrina: I know you will. I know. Carlos: I don't know why you like Port Charles so much anyway. I mean, the place had nothing but heartache for you. Sabrina: Well, that's not entirely true. Carlos: Two men, Sabrina. Two men who didn't know how to treat you, that just threw you away like a piece of trash. What are you thinking about? Sabrina: Nothing. Carlos: Okay. So from now on, it's just the three of us, okay? You got to say goodbye to everybody that you knew in Port Charles. [SCENE_BREAK] Brady: You're going to use this next issue to show the glamour of real women, not just what's on the surface, but images that show their strength and perseverance. Nina: Yes. Brady: In short, you're gonna reflect their own radiance back at themselves. Nina: Oh. Oh, my gosh. Wow. It's incredible how you get me. We're like this. It's crazy. Yes. I'm using this next issue to, um, focus on the real woman inside and out, through her tenacity and will, um, a truer, or some would say, uh, um, more authentic beauty is revealed. Brady: This is great. Just what I needed. Thank you so much for the interview. It was truly a pleasure. Nina: Oh, no, it was mine, believe me. Brady: And, uh, best of luck on the new issue. Nina: Thank you. How am I pulling this off? [SCENE_BREAK] Mayor Lomax: Press? What press? Do you see any press here? Julian: No, no, I don't. But then again, I haven't looked in the mirror lately. You see, as owner and publisher of the Port Charles Press, I'm gonna make sure that this story gets the extensive coverage it deserves, you know, the kind of coverage that could, oh, I don't know, tank a political career. Mayor Lomax: Are you threatening me? Julian: Threatening? No, no, not at all. Do you know that I voted for you in the last election? I even made a sizable donation to your campaign. And I just want to make sure, as your supporter, that, you know, you make the most prudent decisions that keep your constituents, uh, happy. So, uh, so what do you say? You think we could, uh, we could let Olivia go? [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: There's several freighters that leave from the harbor here in the city every day, and no one would bat an eye at an extra passenger or two. So we have two choices, okay? There's one boat goes straight across the lake to Toronto, and the second one, that goes to the east and ends up in Nova Scotia. But given your profile of Carlos, I think it's more likely that he would go straight across to Toronto, because it's less risk for Sabrina and the baby, right? André: Yes, but I believe that this is where Sabrina's mind-set comes more strongly into play. She's a very friendly, gregarious person. Carlos would know the risk of her contacting someone. Anna: Okay, so he has to mitigate that risk as much as possible, taking her somewhere that is more isolated? Robert: So that'd be two strikes against Toronto. One, it's a big city, and two, it's connected by the ferry. André: Exactly. No, I'd say Carlos and Sabrina rode this freighter all the way to the end of the line. Halifax, Nova Scotia. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: You're right. We need to make a new start, right? Carlos: Right. Sabrina: And I'm gonna do that right here with you. Carlos: Great. Sabrina: Okay. Carlos: Right here's not so bad, is it? Sabrina: No. Not at all. [Both chuckle] Carlos: Okay. No more looking back. From now on, it's just you and me. Sabrina: Baby makes three. [Both laugh] Sabrina: You know, I'm really -- I'm really curious to see what you're gonna be like as a father. Carlos: To a baby that's gonna be here any minute. Sabrina: Yeah. Carlos: [Laughs] [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: The thing I keep tripping on is that no one broke into that house. Elizabeth -- she swears that she locked the door, but even if she didn't, what scares me is this stalker found a way to slip in, break the picture, then slip out unnoticed. Jake and Elizabeth were there. Sam: What I think you need to do is hire an investigator. Jason: Do you know one? Sam: [Chuckles] Come on. I'm gonna act like I'm not insulted right now. Jason: You've done enough for me already. I can't ask you to get into this. Sam: Didn't you tell Jake that I'm someone who searches for the truth? Jason: Yes, I did. Sam: Okay. Then let me help you. Unless, of course, Elizabeth's gonna object to this. Jason: Elizabeth says she wants this all cleared up, so I'm gonna take her at her word. Let's check out this house. Sam: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Well, thank you, Dr. Renault, for your help. I'm hoping you're right about this. Dr. Renault: I'm looking forward to working with Jake and getting his childhood back on track. Elizabeth: Thank you. Do you really think art therapy's necessary? Kevin: You just said you were fine with it. Elizabeth: I know, but now she's gone, so I'm asking you, friend to friend. Kevin: It's like Dr. Renault said. There's something clearly bothering Jake, and art therapy could be the way to find out what it is. Elizabeth: I know you're right. I just kind of hate it. Franco: Well, if it isn't the belle of the Nutcracker Gala. Elizabeth: Hello, Franco. Come on, babe. Let's go. Jake: I'm not finished with that -- with this last drawing. Franco: Kid is a regular Picasso. He's very prolific. He's already cranked out two of them. Elizabeth: You can finish those at home. Come on. Jake: You can have the ones I finished. Franco: Oh. Thank you. Elizabeth: Get your pad of paper. Franco: It's an honor. Thank you. Elizabeth: Come on. Let's go. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: Real women! Real women! [Telephone rings] Nina: Nina Reeves. Julian: Hey, Nina, it's -- it's Julian. I just got your message. Did the, uh, interview happen? Nina: Yeah, I mean, we did it without you. I hope that's okay. Julian: Yeah, no, of course. That's fine. I'm sorry I missed it. I just, uh, I got called to the police station. Uh, Olivia got arrested. Nina: Arrested for what? Julian: Well, long story short, um, Olivia was breastfeeding Leo, and, uh, listen, Nina. I have to go. I'll, uh, I'll see you tomorrow at the office, okay? [Telephone beeps] Nina: Breastfeeding in public. [SCENE_BREAK] Julian: So, Madam Mayor, what do you say? [Baby crying] Mayor Lomax: Officer, uncuff Ms. Falconeri. Alexis: So I take it the charges against my client are being dropped. Mayor Lomax: I'll admit that I may have acted a little hastily. Alexis: Right. I'll take him. Olivia: Thank you. Alexis: Come here. Here you go. Come here, baby. Come here. Yes, I know. Mayor Lomax: I understand that Ms. Falconeri was merely feeding her child, which is her right to do so, and that because of her vulnerable state, she got defensive and verbally attacked me. But I think under the circumstances, let's just make believe this never happened. Alexis: Okay. Olivia: Oh, thank God that is over. Thank you for going to bat for me, Julian. Alexis, thank you, truly. Julian: All right. Alexis: You know what? I don't think it's to anyone's benefit to forget this ever happened, because you, Mayor, violated the law. So, Ms. Falconeri and I have decided that we are going to file suit against the city. [Baby crying] [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: I hope I didn't accidentally tip off Felix as to where we were or that anybody's able to track our phones. Carlos: No, they won't. They won't. No worries, querida. No one will be able to find us. [SCENE_BREAK] André: I can tell you with reasonable certainty -- Carlos took Sabrina to Halifax. Robert: Well, this is your call. What do you want to do? Anna: There's no other way to play it. We're going to Halifax. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: Hey, Dr. Collins. Kevin: I thought you weren't speaking to me since I turned you into the police. Franco: Bygones. I, um, I wonder if you could take a look at these. Kevin: These are Jake's? Franco: Yep. They're a little strange. Kevin: Hmm. Um, word of advice, colleague to colleague. Don't say strange. Franco: I'm not speaking to you as a colleague. I'm talking to you as a guy that used to make a lot of really strange drawings. Kevin: So you're saying that when you look at these... Franco: I used to make drawings like that when I was a kid -- a lot. Not necessarily a good thing. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Do you have any kind of timeline for the break-in? Jason: Vaguely. Elizabeth said she walked Laura to the door around 3:30. She tidied up the room a bit and then she, uh, went to the kitchen. Jake was in his room playing. I got here at 3:45. Door was wide open. Sam: You didn't see anyone as you were coming into the house? Jason: No. Sam: You sure about the time? Jason: Yeah, I checked. I tend to do that. Sam: Okay, so you've got like 10- or 15-minute window of opportunity here. It was daylight out. Were any of the neighbors home? Jason: [Sighs] The neighbor kids were in their yard playing, but they didn't see anyone. Sam: That doesn't really mean anything. Kids can tend to be pretty self- absorbed. You said the police didn't lift any fingerprints? Jason: None that weren't accounted for. Sam: There could be an explanation for that. The intruder could have been wearing gloves. But when you add it all up, given the time of day and the fact that there was no forced entry, I... Jason: Are you trying to tell me you already figured this thing out? [Lock clicking] [NEXT_ON] Sonny (to Morgan): I'm gonna do whatever is necessary to keep my kids safe. Carly (to Ava): I'd like to ask you for a favor. Curtis (to Hayden): You owe me money, and it's time for you to pay up. Jordan (to Nikolas): I am here to update you on the charges against Jason Morgan. Sam (to Elizabeth): Are you afraid that I'll find something that you're hiding?
