Alexis and Olivia chat about Ned. Jerry delivers Lord Larry Ashton to the Quartermaine terrace. He Jerry sends a text message telling Tracy that he never said which husband he would deliver. Michael sees Sonny at the Quartermaine crypt and assumes that he is visiting AJ. Sonny tells him that he is there for Jason. Michael tells Sonny that Carlos may not have been AJ's murderer and that it might have been Ava. Michael tells Sonny that he agreed to be Franco's best man. He says he wishes it was Sonny marrying Carly instead of Franco. Sonny says he doesn't think the marriage is going to last. Franco overhears Jake Doe telling Carly that whatever happened between her and her ex isn't his business. Carly tells Franco that they were talking about Jax. Franco doesn't like Jake. Franco tells Carly that he has surprises planned for her for their wedding. She says she knows that he has planned to change the venue to the Haunted Star and that it is a bad idea. He tells her that their guest list is so short that it wouldn't take much effort to call everyone to tell them. Jake tells Elizabeth that he met Carly and Franco, that Franco doesn't like him and the feeling is mutual, and that he thinks Carly is getting cold feet. Jake climbs a flight of stairs. Shawn brings Heather a Kelly's BLT and tries to coax her to tell him what Franco is planning, but she doesn't want to spoil Franco's surprise. Shawn calls Sonny and tells him that they have a problem with Heather. Rosalie goes to the brownstone and tells Ava that Nina is looking for her. Rosalie swears that she didn't tell Nina where Ava is. Ava tells Kiki that she is going to find another place to stay before Nina finds her. Kiki insists that the brownstone is still the safest place. Madeline tells Nina that Ava is with Kiki. Nina wants to go get Ava. Madeline says it is smarter to wait and just take the baby instead of trying to hide a pregnant woman. Obrecht tells Madeline and Nina that her head nurse is covering for a subordinate nurse who intentionally gave a patient a drug that could cause premature labor. Nina is certain that the unnamed patient is Ava. Nina takes one of Obrecht's prescription pads and tells Madeline to forge a prescription for her.
Nina: Okay, so you got Rosalie to cough up where Ava's hiding? Madeline: When are you going to learn to never underestimate me? You're welcome, by the way. Nina: Oh, yeah. Thanks, Mom. Consider it one small step on your endless path to my forgiveness. So, now tell me where that adulterous bitch is hiding. Madeline: With her daughter. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: Rosalie. What do you want? Rosalie: To talk. There's something I need to tell you. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: Hello? Hello?! Locked. I am really getting sick of locked rooms. I'm trapped in here like a rat. [Keys jingling] Heather: Franco? Is that you? [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I don't know why I trust you, but I do. Jason: What happened between you and your ex-husband is your business. [Keys jingle] Franco: And mine, too. Sounds like you two were gossiping about Sonny. Care to share with the rest of the class? [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Dad? What are you doing here? Why are you visiting AJ? [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: [Gasps] Lulu: What? Tracy: Oh, my God. Lulu: Is that my father? [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: Nurse Webber. What happened to your patient? Elizabeth: [Sighs] Miss Affinito? She was, uh, discharged this morning. Dr. Obrecht: Not Miss Affinito. Your indigent Jake Doe. He's not in his room. The room which is costing this hospital a fortune due to his lack of insurance. Elizabeth: Oh, well, he was getting a little stir-crazy, so I helped him into a wheelchair and took him on a little tour. Dr. Obrecht: Unrestricted areas only, I hope. Elizabeth: He's in the assembly room not bothering anyone. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Franco, what are you doing here? Franco: I work here. This is my art room. What are you doing here? Talking about Sonny, huh? Carly: Sonny? Oh, the ex thing. No. No, I was talking about Jax. Franco: Jax? Carly: Yeah. Franco: Talking about Jax? Carly: Jax. Yeah. Because Josslyn threw a fit this morning about coming to the wedding on Halloween, so she called Jax. Jax said she didn't have to come to the wedding, and I said that's completely unacceptable, because Josslyn has to come to the wedding. But I don't want to tell Jax about it till after the wedding 'cause I don't want to have an argument before our big day. And so, my friend here, um, agreed with me. Jason: Right. Carly: Yeah. Franco: Oh. Good. Uh, I didn't catch your friend's name. Jason: Jake. Franco: Jake...? Jason: Just Jake for now. Franco: Hi, "Just Jake for now." I'm Franco. Just Franco. So, you're kind of a mess. You gonna be okay? Jason: I will be. Franco: Good. How long you two been best friends? Carly: We just met today w-while I was waiting for you. So, what you been up to all this time? [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: Oh, it's you. Not that I mind seeing you. You're very fit. And you're my savior. You're the one that escorted me out of that horrible place. You know, the maximum-security wing can be very restrictive. So, when do I get out of here? Shawn: Soon. Heather: I hope so. I don't like trading one cell for another. At Ferncliff, at least I had a window, even if it did have bars on it. Where are we? Shawn: You'll find out in time. But in the meantime, I brought something for you with regards from the boss. Heather: All I really want are some answers. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: I'm not here for AJ. I just came to visit Jason. Michael: Yeah. I'm sorry. Of course. I just...AJ's been on my mind a lot recently. [Sighs] That's right. It's the anniversary of Jason's death. Sonny: Can you believe it's been two years since we lost him? Michael: I was just thinking about him this morning. How much I miss him, how much I've changed, how much I've accomplished. And I just... I hope he would have been proud of me. Sonny: He would have been as proud of you as I am. Michael: Thanks. But Jason didn't really, uh, care much for corporate life. Sonny: But he loved you more than anything, and he would have seen you come into your own as a CEO, and he would have respected that. And Jason would have told you that himself if that... piece of garbage Faison didn't kill him. I wake up at night dreaming of murdering him. Prison's too good for him. Michael: Yeah, I know what you mean. I feel the same way about the person who killed AJ. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: Thank you for keeping your big mouth shut about my mother hiding here. But I do have to wonder. I mean, you were so quick to throw Morgan and me under the bus with Michael. How do I know you are not going to do the same thing with my mother? Rosalie: That's what I need to talk to you about. This conversation would be less conspicuous inside, don't you think? Kiki: Mom, we have company. Ava: Rosalie. What can we do for you? Kiki: Apparently she wants to talk to us, so I guess we should hear her out. Ava: All right. Go ahead. Rosalie: Um, it's about Nina. She's looking for you. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: Kiki. Kiki! I should have known that Kiki, the bastard child, would be hiding Ava. Okay, so where's she hiding her? Madeline: Well, apparently Kiki and Morgan Corinthos have been supervising a construction project down by the waterfront. They're hiding Ava in a brownstone that's being renovated. Nina: Okay, so let's get the broodmare tonight. Madeline: And do what with her? [Scoffs] I mean, you said yourself she's not ready to give birth for another two weeks. Nina: Well, I don't know, Mother. I mean, time flies when you're pregnant. Madeline: Now that we know where Ava is, we can wait until she gives birth. It's hard enough hiding you let alone a pregnant woman. Nina: Okay, so you're blaming this on me. Madeline: [Sighs] Particularly one having difficulties. Nina: Difficulties? Oh, my God. Is there something wrong with the baby? [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: Oh, my God! Alexis: I'm sorry. Olivia: I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Alexis: I should watch where I'm going. Olivia: No, no, no, no. I'm just -- I'm just -- I'm glad you didn't wind up wearing my iced tea. Alexis: You know, I tell Molly not to walk and text. Maybe I should follow my own advice. Olivia: Tell me about it. About a week ago, I literally stepped on Ned at the gym, went flying through the air, and landed right in his lap. Alexis: I would have paid to see that. Olivia: No, I was, of course, mortified, but he was, uh, he was a big gentleman about it. Alexis: Well, he's usually gracious. Olivia: Yeah, I, uh, I missed him in class today. Alexis: Class? Olivia: Mixed martial arts. Alexis: Oh! I didn't know that you two were taking that class together. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: It's not moving. Ned: Jerry promised he'd deliver your husband. He didn't say he'd be alive. Lulu: Dad! Ned: Lulu, Lulu! Lulu: We got to get him out of there! Ned: Lulu, I will do it. I will do it. Tracy: Luke? Lulu: Oh, my God. Tracy: Ned? Is he dead? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: You killed twice -- once to defend your own life, once to defend your mother and your baby sister. That's a lot for you to carry. Killing for revenge, it's not even worth you talking about. Michael: I know. Killing AJ's murderer would be a satisfying fantasy, believe me. But it's not -- not the real answer. Sonny: I don't want you and Kristina and your brothers to live the kind of life that I -- that I have lived. When you take someone's life, doors don't open. They close. I don't want you closing any more doors. You let the law take care of whoever killed AJ. I'm sure Rivera, it's no picnic for him in Pentonville. Michael: Actually, that's the thing. Dad, I found something out. [Sighs] Carlos Rivera might not have been the one who killed AJ. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: It's a BLT from Kelly's! Shawn: Is there any other kind? Heather: I could kiss you. But I'm saving myself for Luke Spencer or Scotty Baldwin. Just like Laura. No offense. Shawn: None taken. Heather: Mm! This is just as good as Rose's back in the day. You know, Mike Corbin never really got the recipe right. But the guy that runs the place now, mm. He's got it down to a science. I never met him. But he must be one hell of a guy. Shawn: So I've heard. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: What have I been up to? I was just checking with Dr. Obrecht. Had to make sure I had tomorrow off because I can't have art-therapy sessions on our special day. We're getting married tomorrow. Jason: Congratulations. Franco: Thanks. Jason: I'd leave you to finalize, except for, uh, my wheelchair skills are found lacking. Carly: Oh, I-I can take you to your room. I'll push your wheelchair. Franco: Carly, don't be silly. This is a hospital. They have orderlies. They have people who are paid to push people around who aren't strong enough to walk around. Hey! This guy here, he needs pushing. There. Jason: Hey. You mind taking me to my room? I'm sorry. I would do it myself, but... Orderly: It's no problem. Jason: Thanks. [Clears throat] Franco: You want to hurry up? He looks tired. Jason: Nice to meet you, Carly. Carly: Nice meeting you, too, Jake. Jason: And, uh, I hope everything goes the way you want it to tomorrow. Congratulations. Franco: Okay. I can't stand that guy. Really, I... ugh. Was it just me? Carly: Yeah. 'Cause I feel like I can tell him anything. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Obrecht: That Jake indigent had better not be bothering Franco. Elizabeth: Wouldn't that be a shame? Dr. Obrecht: Whatever you may feel about Franco, it is an absolute boon to the hospital to have an artist of his caliber working here. Elizabeth: Caliber? As in handgun? Dr. Obrecht: Jealousy is not a good color on you, Nurse Webber. I've heard you used to consider yourself something of an artist. Perhaps you should stick to your acrylic sketches of fruit and leave the art to the professionals, no? Now, retrieve your patient from the assembly room before he causes a problem. Jason: I wouldn't dream of it. Dr. Obrecht: You startled me. [Clears throat] Jason: Hey, I got it from here, man. Thanks a lot. Orderly: Sure. Dr. Obrecht: Who told you to wait on this man? Orderly: Franco. Dr. Obrecht: Oh. Well, you've completed your task. Get back to work. How kind of Franco to see to your needs. Jason: Eh, I think he just wanted me gone. Dr. Obrecht: Probably didn't want you causing a nuisance no doubt. Jason: No doubt. Dr. Obrecht: Well, at least you're out of your hospital bed you cannot pay for. Next we'll work on getting you back to your life. Jason: Are you still worried about my insurance, Dr. O? I must have left that card wherever I left my memory. [Clicks tongue] Elizabeth: Okay, I'm gonna take Jake back to his room. Dr. Obrecht: See that you do. Jason: [Clears throat] Dr. Obrecht: Young man, my name is Dr. Obrecht. Never Dr. O. Jason: Jawohl, Frau Kommandant. Elizabeth: Can I just say, I love you for that? [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: Well, no, it's not that we're -- we're not taking the class together. We just both happened to sign up for the same class. Completely on our own, separately from -- from one another. You do -- you understand the difference? Alexis: Well, better you than me. Olivia: Really? Alexis: Yeah, he asked me to take that class, and he forgot that I'm allergic to exercise. Olivia: Oh. Alexis: Plus it's a little violent. Do you guys hit each other or hit things? Olivia: Yeah, but it's so much fun. It, like, gives me a place to really focus all my frustrations, you know? Alexis: Yeah, I'm sure that's -- that's what it is for him, too. He really enjoys it. I-I-I don't know why he missed it. Olivia: Oh, so he, uh, he wasn't with you? [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: Ned, is he dead? Ned: I've got a pulse. Lulu: Thank God. Larry: [Coughs] Ned: Luke. Here. Let me help you up. There you go. No. It can't be. Tracy: What? What is it? Lulu: What's wrong with my dad? Ned: Uh... there's nothing wrong with your dad other than the fact that he's not your dad. Tracy: What? Larry: [Groans] Tracy: You have got to be kidding me! [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Well, I saw him earlier at the Quartermaines'. His mother is embroiled in a situation that is bad for ELQ, and... Olivia: Oh. Alexis: In any case, now that I think about it, I'm sure that's why he wasn't at your martial arts class. Olivia: Because of his mother? Alexis: Because all of the Quartermaines. There is no doubt that Ned is back fulfilling his role as gatekeeper. Olivia: You lost me. [SCENE_BREAK] Ned: Not you. Anyone but you. Tracy: Oh! Larry: Tracy? Is that you? Tracy: Ugh! Larry: Long time, no see. Tracy: Not long enough. You got a lot of nerve showing up here. Larry: Me? You're the one crashing my bungalow. Tracy: Your bungalow? Does this look like your bungalow? This is my family home! Larry: So it seems to be. Ned! How good of you to join us! Now, listen, I have a little confusion about one particular point. See, I was in Rhossili. I had just convinced two beautiful tourists that I was Kate Middleton's uncle, so what the blue blazes am I doing here? Lulu: I'm sorry. Who is this guy? And what happened to my father? Ned: This would be my father. Larry: Lord Larry Ashton at your...service. Tracy: Oh! Oh, Lord, indeed. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: I can't believe Obrecht was so worried about you bothering her precious Franco. Jason: I can see how those two would be simpatico. Elizabeth: She's obsessed with him. A complete groupie despite all of his past crimes. Jason: Past crimes? What were these past crimes? Elizabeth: Oh, you know, a little kidnapping, abduction, murder. Allegedly he was a serial killer, but all these charges were dropped because of his brain tumor. Jason: Wow. That sounds convenient. Elizabeth: Actually, he did have a brain tumor. One of our neurosurgeons removed it. But still, I don't think that absolves him from everything, right? Anyway, if you want to stay on Dr. Obrecht's good side, I would try not to [As Dr. Obrecht] Make a nuisance of yourself [Normal voice] with Franco. Jason: Too late. He already doesn't like me, which is fine, because I'm pretty sure I don't like him, either. Elizabeth: May not have your memory, but you're spot-on with your instincts. Jason: I don't know what Carly sees in him. Elizabeth: You met Carly? Jason: Yeah, she was looking for Franco, and then we started talking. Actually, she did most of the talking. Elizabeth: [Chuckles] Not surprising. Jason: I like her. She's kind of all over the place, but easy to understand at the same time. Elizabeth: Are we talking about Carly Corinthos Jacks? Jason: Well, until tomorrow when she marries Franco. Well, if she marries Franco. Elizabeth: What do you mean, "if"? Jason: I got the feeling she's getting cold feet. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: So, you excited about tomorrow? Carly: I can't wait. Franco: Me either. You know, I have, uh, I have some surprises planned for you. Carly: Okay, about that. We have to talk, all right? Because I know what you have planned. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: It's always over too soon. Shawn: There's plenty more where that came from. Heather: I'll tell you, this is a full-service operation. I can't thank you enough. Shawn: We just want to make sure you're comfortable, you know, until the coast is clear. Heather: Right. And you're doing a wonderful job. When my son gets here, I'm gonna insist that he doubled whatever he's paying you. Shawn: I'm sorry. Uh...your son? Heather: Did he not tell you? I'm Franco's mother. [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: You know what I have planned? Carly: The big surprise? Yeah. The Haunted Star. I ran into Lulu, and -- and it was out of her mouth before she remembered it was a secret. Franco: Well, the operative word was "secret," huh? Carly: I know, but the point is, I know now. Franco: I'll have to figure out another way to keep you on your toes, I guess. Carly: Come on. I know that it's in your nature to do things theatrically. But switching the venue at the last minute -- that is a logistical nightmare for our guests, Franco. Franco: It's not like we got to make a lot of calls, Carly. There's not a lot of people that really believe in us. I mean, certainly not the way you do. And forgive me -- I probably should have told you about it. It's just that, you know, for me, changing the venue to the Haunted Star, it's perfect. It's the perfect place for us to say our vows. That's where we first ran into one another when I came back to town. [SCENE_BREAK] Madeline: Ava is having some cramps, normal pregnancy stuff. Rosalie assures me that she's getting all the right medications. Nina: Oh, thank God my baby's gonna be okay. [Door opens] Dr. Obrecht: I see the intriganten are still plotting away in my office. Nina: Oh, Auntie Liesl. I haven't had the chance to thank you. Thank you so much. Oh! If it weren't for you, I would have been arrested. I was just defending myself against Silas. I was so frightened. Dr. Obrecht: Don't strain yourself. I'm doing this for Nathan. He cares about you. Other than that, I don't want to know about any of the details. I have my own problems. Madeline: She always does. Nina: Mother, please. Hush. Auntie Liesl has so much pressure. I mean, running the hospital, all the patients. Dr. Obrecht: If only it were just the patients. Earlier today, I found out that my head nurse was covering for one of her subordinates. Nina: Oh, how dare she? Dr. Obrecht: And this was no mere disciplinary infraction. One of her nurses intentionally gave a patient the wrong prescription. The medication was supposed to treat the patient's pregnancy cramps. Instead, she was given a drug that could have caused premature labor. Nina: Did you say premature labor? [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: Silas mentioned to me that he was concerned about Nina's emotional instability and that she has a grudge against me in particular. Kiki: Right, because... Ava: Because of my relationship with your father and the fact that I was blessed with a beautiful daughter while she languished in a coma. Kiki: Mom, do you really think Nina could hurt you? Ava: No. But if she finds out where I am, I have no doubt that she'll tell Sonny. You told Nina where I am, didn't you? [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I think Ava pressured Carlos into confessing. Sonny: Based on what? Michael: Something I heard from one of his friends. Ava wanted him to take the fall for somebody else. Sonny: For who, Mike? Michael: Herself, I think. Sonny: You think Ava killed AJ? Is that what you're saying, Michael? Michael: I can't prove it, but yes. Yes, I-I think so. Look, Ava was living under your roof. You guys must have gotten closer. Do you know anything about who really shot my father? [SCENE_BREAK] Larry: [Groans] Thank you, son. You are a great comfort to me. Ned: I wish I could say the same about you. Larry: And who is this enchanting young lady? Lulu: Lulu Spencer-Falconeri. Do you know where my father is? Larry: Ah. Family -- it's so important. Ned, you have to tell me about my beautiful granddaughter. I've yet to hear her on Radio 1. Ned: The music business is tough, as you know, and L&B records is a boutique label, so... Larry: "Boutique." That's American for "cash-poor." Nedsfer, you have to inject some revenue into this operation. Throw your title around. You're the son of a lord. Tracy: Oh, you are no more a lord than I'm a Supreme. Your title is as phony as your teeth. You haven't changed one iota! Ned: Not true, Mother. He switched to bourbon. How much have you had to drink, by the way? Larry: Not nearly enough. I've apparently taken a trans-Atlantic flight in which nobody even bothered to offer me a complimentary mimosa. Ah. What's everybody drinking? Tracy: Nothing. No drinks. Not until you tell us what happened to Luke Spencer. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: I'm gonna take you back to your room. You must be exhausted. Jason: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Last place I want to be is back in that bed. Elizabeth: Don't say that too loud or Dr. O will give it away. Jason: Fine by me. Elizabeth: I happen to think you still need medical attention, so humor me, okay? Jason: Okay. I will. I promise. But first I need a favor. Elizabeth: What kind of favor? Jason: Help me up. Elizabeth: Are you ready to take some steps? Jason: Think a little higher. Elizabeth: How high? Jason: Mount Everest. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: What's the patient's name? I'd like to send her flowers. Dr. Obrecht: I can't tell you that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go speak to Nurse Johnson. Keep your plotting down to a dull roar. The last thing I need is for the hospital board to find you both here. [Door closes] Nina: Medication? Premature labor? I'd bet my entire inheritance that that patient's name is Ava Jerome. [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: I knew you couldn't be trusted. Kiki: Mom. Ava: Did you think I was joking when I told you to keep your mouth shut? I am Ava Jerome. You are probably familiar with my family. And we have ways of dealing with people who cross us. So you are about to feel the wrath of my entire family! Rosalie: Back off, okay? I didn't tell Nina where you were. Ava: And you expect me to take your word for that? Maybe you're here to confirm for Nina that I haven't moved. Rosalie: I am here to warn you. Nina is going off the rails, and she has it in for you. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Michael, there's something that I -- Michael: I'm sorry. No, you -- you would have told me if she did. I wish I could talk to her myself, you know? But Kiki said that Ava's missing. Sonny: Yeah, yeah, I heard that. Michael: You know, it was one thing when I thought that AJ's killer got off easy. It's another thing to wonder if his killer is still out there getting away with it. It's why I came here -- to promise AJ I wasn't gonna let it go. Maybe -- maybe your -- your people could, uh, look for Ava? Sonny: I'm gonna look for Ava. Michael, I'm gonna -- she's pregnant with my child or grandchild. But I don't think this is something that you should pursue. Michael: I know. Look, even if I do find her, I doubt she's gonna tell me the truth. I just -- I have to try, you know. I can't -- I can't live with this uncertainty. Sonny: I'll let you know if I find her. Michael: Thank you. That means a lot. And I know you got a lot on your mind right now. Mom's wedding is tomorrow. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I'm just surprised you look back on that night on the Haunted Star so fondly. I mean, you weren't exactly welcomed with open arms, and... the first thing I said to you was that I wished that you were dead. Franco: That's true. And if memory serves, you actually hired somebody to try and make that a reality. Carly: Hmm. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: So you think Franco hired me to bust you out of Ferncliff? Heather: Hey, it's just us here. I appreciate your commitment, but you don't have to be so hush-hush. I saw my son yesterday, and he said he was gonna send you to pick me up. Shawn: He sure did. Well, since it's just us, did he ever tell you why I needed to bust you out of Ferncliff? You know, do you, uh, do you know what Franco's planning? Heather: My son didn't tell you about his big plan? Shawn: You know, it must have slipped his mind. Heather: Oh, it's a doozy, I'll tell you. On second thought... maybe Franco wants to keep a lid on it. Something between mother and son alone. So I think I'll keep my lips zipped until I talk to my son. Unless it's to eat another one of these. Whoo! [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Can you never bring that up again ever, please? I mean, I... I can't believe I asked Shawn to kill you. It -- it was such a mistake. And...I-I just didn't believe that you had changed. Franco: I know. And that's what makes the Haunted Star such a perfect fit. I want to show everybody how much I've changed. I mean, I showed those videos to everybody, because I wanted to prove that I wasn't the person that everybody thought that I was, to show everybody that I hadn't done those things to Michael and Sam that everybody thought that I'd done. And what better place to show the world who I really am than the Haunted Star? Where I can -- where I can finally say that I love you until death do us part? And who knows? I might even show another little video. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Dad, there's something I don't -- I don't want you to -- to hear from anybody else. I'm Franco's best man. Sonny: Say that again? Michael: I'm Franco's -- it -- it creeps the hell out of me, too, okay? Sonny: Right. Michael: Franco asked me. More like begged me. He, uh, he mentioned how much it would mean to Mom. That's the only reason I'm agreeing to it. Sonny: You don't have to defend your choices to me. Michael: I know, I know. I just -- I've been paying attention to what's been going on between you and Mom lately, and you still got -- you have feelings for her, right? Sonny: You already know the answer to that. Michael: For what it's worth, I wish I was standing up for you and Mom's wedding tomorrow. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Jake, I don't know if you're ready to go climbing just yet. This is your first time out of bed. Jason: I survived getting run down by a car. I'm pretty sure I can handle a flight of stairs. Elizabeth: Yeah, but you're still recovering. Jason: Dr. O wants me thrown out of here. As much as I hate giving her any cooperation whatsoever, I'm eager to go. Elizabeth: I don't think you're ready. Jason: Then help me get ready. At least this way, if I fall, I've got a beautiful nurse by my side, right? Elizabeth: But if I say stop, you're gonna stop, correct? Jason: Mm-hmm. I will. You got it. Elizabeth: All right. Jason: All right. Hmm. Here we go. [Sighs] Elizabeth: Ready? Jason: Yep. Ooh. [Chuckles] Ready or not... here we come. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: Ashton, you worthless drunk. Tell me what happened to Luke. Larry: Luke? Tracy: Yes. Luke. My husband! Larry: I thought that was Paul. Ned: You're a bit behind the times, Pop. Lulu: Where is Luke Spencer? Larry: Name rings a bell. Something to do with freezing the world. Ned: Let's back it up. What's the last thing you remember? Larry: I was schmoozing two beautiful tourists. We had a couple of drinks in their room. The next thing I know, I'm hearing your dulcet tones, Tracy, darling. Lulu: Those tourists must have been working with Jerry. They probably slipped him something to drink so they could fly him here. Tracy: No, he just drank that much. Ned: I warned you not to trust Jerry, Mother. Now he has all that ELQ stock, and we still don't know where Luke is. Tracy: Thank you, Ned, for the "I told you so." That is extremely helpful. What was I supposed to do?! He was gonna kill Luke on the spot! Jerry Jacks does not make idle threats. Ned: No! But he has a long history of double-crossing people! Tracy: Well, this time, he messed with the wrong person. Wait till I get my hands on him. [Cell phone chimes] Tracy: It's from Jerry Jacks. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: You okay? Jason: Mm-hmm. Never better. Fine. Elizabeth: Okay. Just take it easy, okay? Jason: [Breathing heavily] It's a piece of cake. [Chuckles] [Groans] A corner here. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Well, Tracy? What did Jerry say? Larry: Got any olives? Ned: Not the time. Mother, tell us. Tracy: "I'm a man of my word. I promised that if you handed over those ELQ shares, I'd give you your husband. I never said which one." Larry: To family reunions. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: You okay? Jason: Yeah. Elizabeth: Two more. Ready? Jason: [Chuckles] [Exhales deeply] [Chuckles] Elizabeth: You did it. Jason: Yeah, don't sound so surprised. Elizabeth: Please don't pass out. You'll make me look really bad. Jason: Couldn't have that. Not after you making this all possible. Elizabeth: Unh-unh. No, no. I was just here for moral support. You did this on your own. Jason: Don't underestimate the value of moral support. Dr. Obrecht: Nurse Webber. What is going on up there? Jason: Well, isn't it obvious? I'm the king of the world! [Laughs] Oh, give me some. [Laughs] Hi. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Means a lot to me to hear you say that you think your mom and me should be together. Michael: You're my parents. I don't like when you gang up on me, but, you know, I want you both to be happy. Sonny: Who knows? We will, you know. Maybe we'll end up together. Michael: You don't think their marriage is gonna last? Sonny: You think it will? Michael: [Chuckles] I can't answer that on the grounds I might incriminate myself. Sonny: Well, you know, it's, like, you never know how things are gonna turn out. Okay, you know what? I'm gonna leave you. You can be alone and do what you need to do, you know. Michael: Thank you. Sonny: I love you, son. Michael: I love you, too. I know I told my dad I wouldn't take matters into my own hands. But I just didn't want him to worry. Somebody needs to be held accountable for what they did to you. And when I find who is responsible, I promise you I will make them pay. [Cell phone rings] Sonny: You got her? Shawn: Yeah, I've got her, all right. There's something you need to know. It's about Franco. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: You're going to play a video at our wedding tomorrow? Franco: I was thinking maybe. I mean, it's a possibility. Carly: We have planned the whole wedding together, the whole ceremony! Franco: Carly -- Carly: You're gonna tell me what's going on. Franco: No, come on -- Carly: Tell me right now. Franco: You've already found out about all of my plans, okay? You got to give me one little surprise. Carly: You got to give me a hint. Franco: Okay, all will be revealed. Can we just go home now, please? Thank you. Get some rest, right? Tomorrow's a big day. Carly: I want to know what's on the video. Franco: I bet you do. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: It is very important that no one finds out where my mother is. Rosalie: I'm from the city, okay? I know better than to get mixed up in the mob. Ava: Good. Get out of here. Rosalie: No problem. I'm leaving. [Door closes] Ava: I have to find another place to stay. Kiki: No, you do not. Hey, hey, no, no, no. Ava: Kiki, if Nina finds out where I am -- Kiki: She will not. Ava: ...It's game over. Kiki: Did you just listen to what Rosalie said? She didn't tell Nina where you are. You and your baby are safe here. [SCENE_BREAK] Madeline: Well, today's been a productive day. Now, when Ava has her baby, we can know exactly where she is. Nina: We're not gonna wait that long. Madeline: What? Nina: I'm not gonna give Ava the chance to slip away and find some other place to hide. Madeline: I can't help you until she has the baby. Nina: Sure you can, Mommy. [Chuckles] You're gonna do what you do best. You're gonna write me a prescription. [NEXT_ON] (Sam laughs at Patrick's lumberjack Halloween costume) Maxie: (to Lucas) I miss him so much, and there's nothing I can do about it. Nathan: (to Diane) So there's a way that Maxie and I can still see each other? Jason: (to Michael) Do you think we know each other? Sonny: You got a problem with Heather? Shawn: It's a big one. Franco: (to Scott) Carly kicked me out. Bobbie: (to Carly) Are you saying the wedding's off?
