Maxie tells Lulu that they don't have to worry about Patrick taking any more drugs. Patrick calls to make an appointment with Dr. Keenan, but then he changes his mind and takes a pill instead. Epiphany tells Patrick that Dioxin is missing from the drug locker. She says she suspects Ramon Santiago, the orderly, stole them. Ramon comes up and says Epiphany is accusing him of stealing drugs because she doesn't like him. Patrick tells Epiphany that Ramon didn't steal the drugs, but doesn't reveal who did. Epiphany vows to find out. Privately, Ramon thanks Patrick for having his back and promises that he has Patrick's back too; he won't reveal to anyone that Patrick took the pills. At the police station, Lulu welcomes Dante back from his trip. He wonders why she is two hours late. She tells him that she was at the Haunted Star telling Johnny about Anthony. He suggests that her relationship with Johnny is more than professional. Lulu wonders why Dante is so jealous of Johnny. Dante says he just doesn't trust Johnny. He tells her that Johnny is still a suspect in his grandfather's murder. He adds that they are holding Heather on suspicion of moving the body and they have an APB out on Luke. He says it is a conflict of interest for her to be so closely related to Johnny. She says she will quit working for the PCPD in that case. Alexis tells Steve that she can't represent his mother because she represents the Quartermaines who have a restraining order on her. She adds that Heather has something against Sam so she doesn't feel comfortable representing her. He continues to call other lawyers with no luck. Olivia comes over and he tells her that Heather is in police custody because they think she buried Anthony Zacchara's body. Olivia says that at least they know what Heather was up to that night. Steve says no, they don't know anything. Olivia tells Steve to stop fooling himself; that Heather wasn't driving around with a guy that looked like Anthony; it was Anthony. Steve tells Olivia that she got what she wanted. He says he supposed Olivia is happy that Heather is being implicated in a murder. Olivia reminds him that she has murdered before, that's why she was in Ferncliff. She says she is happy that Heather got caught before she can hurt anyone else. Steve says that he will help his mother no matter what she did. She says she will stand by him. Spinelli calls Sam and tells her that the police think Heather buried Anthony's body. She notices that Heather's purse in unattended on Lulu's old desk. Maxie goes to goes to Crimson only to find that it is now Manning Enterprises. She wonders why Sam is there. Sam tells her that she is Todd's assistant. Heather calls Todd and tells him that she needs somebody who resembles Anthony to say he was her drunken date on the night of the storm. She tells him to get her bag from the desk outside her office because the phone number of such a man is in it. Todd gets the bag before Sam has a chance to look in it. Heather tells him to find the piece of paper with the man's phone number, call him, and tell him that she is "ready to pull the trigger." Todd dump the contents of Heather's purse on his desk and the first piece of paper he sees is Sam's paternity test results showing Jason as the father of Sam's baby. He rushes out of the office with the paper in hand. Sam and Maxie go into his office to see if they can find out why Todd hired Heather. They look through Heathers purse items strewn over Todd's desk and find that it is a portable convenience store with nothing incriminating in it. Sam conclude that Todd must have taken anything he'd found with him. Maxie asks about Spinelli. Sam says Spinelli doesn't hate her. Maxie says she can't believe Spinelli cut her out of her life. Sam says Maxie hurt Spinelli and he has to try to move on without her. Sam admits to Maxie that Jason saw her kissing someone last night, then he kissed someone too, and today he wasn't wearing his wedding ring. Maxie tells her that a wedding ring can come off and then put back on. She says she is sure that Sam and Jason can still make it work. Sam doesn't think so. Todd goes to the PCPD to confront Heather about the DNA results. She justifies her actions by saying that Sam tried to keep her from Steve so it was only appropriate to keep Sam from her son. Todd says he has already been feeling guilty about what he did but now that he knows a rapist didn't father Sam's baby, everything has changed. Heather says there is nothing he can do about it now. Alexis catches Molly talking on the phone to TJ and overhears her calling her "her insane mother." Alexis reminds her that she is forbidden to have any contact with TJ. Molly says Alexis's lack of a love life doesn't mean Molly shouldn't have one. Alexis drags Molly to Kelly's where she tells Shawn that TJ was in Molly's room in his underwear on the Fourth of July. TJ says he was just changing into his trunks to go swimming and Molly wasn't even in the room. He says the most they have done is kiss. He says they like each other. Alexis says the point is that Molly disobeyed her by seeing TJ behind her bask. TJ asks her if it's because he's Black. He says she isn't a racist; her issue is that he was undressed in Molly's room. Shawn says he has no problem with TJ and Molly seeing each other as long as there is no sex, drugs, or drinking involved. Alexis concedes and agrees that Molly and TJ may date provided that they agree to her rules. They don't hear a word of the rules because they are rapt in each other's eyes.
Lulu: Maxie? What's up? Maxie: Lots. Actually, I just talked to Patrick. Lulu: He didn't backslide, did he? Maxie: Nope. In fact, he's making an appointment with Dr. Keenan as we speak. Lulu: Well, that's good news. Maxie: Yeah. It's incredible. It's definitely official, Lulu. We don't have to worry about Patrick taking any more drugs. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Yes, uh, I'd like to book an appointment with Dr. Keenan, please. Yes, I can hold. Um, you know what? I'm - I'm gonna have to call you back. Something came up. Thank you. Epiphany: Dr. Drake. I'm afraid we have a problem. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: Did you hear me? Todd: Yep. Hold on one sec, okay? Um, Sam. Sam: Mm-hmm. Todd: [Chuckles] There's a whole box of files from Pennsylvania out there that need to be sorted. Sam: Got it. Todd: Okay. Sam: Thank you. Todd: [Sighs] [Door closes] Todd: What the hell do you want me to do about it? Heather: Well, you could start by losing the tone. And then you could listen. I have an idea. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: I'm sorry, Steve. I can't take on your mom as a client. Steven: May I ask why? Alexis: Well, for starters, it's a conflict of interest. I was representing the Quartermaines when they had a restraining order on Heather. Steven: There's got to be some way around that. My mother is in the police station right now, and she needs the best lawyer I can get. And you're it. Alexis: Well, another thing is that Heather seems to have an issue with my daughter. I-I'm just not comfortable representing her. Steven: Okay. There's nothing that'll change your mind? Alexis: Sorry. You're gonna have to find yourself another attorney. [SCENE_BREAK] Molly: I've been thinking about you, hoping you'd call or text. I'm so sorry about the Fourth of July. T.J.: Don't be, okay? I had a good time. Molly: Yeah, until my insane mother showed up. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: So, you ready to hear my brilliant idea? Todd: What happens if I say no? Heather: That's not funny. The police think I buried Anthony Zacchara's body in the woods. Todd: You did bury Anthony Zacchara's body in the woods. Heather: Since when are you such a stickler for details? I need an alibi, and you're gonna give me one. [SCENE_BREAK] [Cell phone rings] Sam: Hello? Spinelli, slow down. What? The police think Heather did what? No, she's not here right now, but -- but her purse is. I don't know. Maybe there's some evidence in there. Yeah, Todd's in his office with his door shut. Okay, okay. It's either now or never. I'll -- yes, I'll let you know what I find out. Bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Molly: I have to go. Alexis: I thought I told you that you weren't supposed to have any contact with T.J. anymore. Or am I so insane, you chose not to listen? [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: Who was that on the phone? T.J.: That was -- José. Shawn: Hey, you never told me. How was the Fourth? Did you guys see the fireworks? T.J.: Oh. Yeah. There were fireworks. [SCENE_BREAK] Molly: Mom, for the gazillionth time, nothing happened. Alexis: It's not what it looked like to me when I saw him undressed in your bedroom. Molly: Oh, my God. I-I told you. T.J. Was just changing into his swim trunks. Why won't you believe me? Alexis: I don't know. Maybe it's because you've been lying to me for months. Molly: Well, I'm sorry, but I practice situational ethics just like you. A lie of omission about seeing T.J. Is nowhere near as bad as you letting Kristina think she got into Yale on her own. Alexis: Don't even turn this around. You went behind my back. You saw T.J., And I told you you couldn't. Molly: Just because you don't have a love life doesn't mean I shouldn't. Alexis: Excuse me? Molly: It's true, mom. You've completely closed yourself off from all relationships, and now you're trying to force me to be just like you. Alexis: That's it. You're coming with me. Molly: Mom, what are you doing? Alexis: We are going to settle this once and for all. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Sam? What are you doing here? Where's Kate? Okay, wait a minute. Where is crimson? Sam: Welcome to Manning Enterprises. Maxie: Manning Enterprises? Sam: Yes. "M.E." For short. Todd Manning bought out Luxcorp. They published the -- Maxie: I know what Luxcorp is, okay? I used to set up the conference calls for them when Kate sold the controlling stock. But -- okay. So, Todd Manning bought the entire company? Sam: Yeah. Do you know who he is? Maxie: He's a hugely successful tabloid publisher. Sam: Actually, he's been focusing on the newspaper. He re-launched it as the Sun. Maxie: Yeah, I know what it is. It's a rag. But you know what? The cover art is pretty catchy. I mean, Todd Manning definitely knows what he's doing. I assume sales are up. Sam: Yeah. B-by -- by at least 20%. Maxie: So, what about Crimson and Kate? Sam: I don't know. At the moment, their fates are undecided. Maxie: [Scoffs] How could my luck possibly get any worse? I mean, first Matt's apartment and now this. Sam: Matt's apartment? Maxie: Yeah. I was gonna live there while he's in prison. You know, keep up the place for my husband. But then Patrick didn't renew his lease, and I had sublet my apartment out to some other people. And so, now I moved in with Patrick. Sam: You are living with Patrick? Maxie: Yeah, you know, I think a feminine presence is very helpful. I mean, for one thing, he's completely helpless at assembling outfits for Emma. That was kind of Robin's thing. But, um -- Sam: Wow, I feel -- I feel really bad for him. He must be going through a hard time. Maxie: Hmm. You have no idea. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Can it wait? I'm actually in the middle of something. Epiphany: No, it can't. Pharmaceutical rep was just here, dropped off some samples. Dynexin, mostly. And now they're missing from the drug lockup. Patrick: Really? Epiphany: Yes, really. And I think I know what happened to them. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Hey. Dante: Hey. Lulu: How was your trip? Dante: That's all I get is "How was your trip?" Lulu: I want to give you a kiss, too. Dante: Your shift started two hours ago. Where have you been? Lulu: I know. I forgot. Dante: About your job? Lulu: Well, I was at the Haunted Star, and they just told Johnny about Anthony, and it hit him hard. Dante: [Sighs] You had to hold his hand? [SCENE_BREAK] Steven: I know, I know. I get it. I understand. Can you'd just leave him a message? I'd like to retain his services. [Keys jingling] Steven: Thank you. [Sighs] Olivia: Hey, Honey. What's up? Steven: Cops found Anthony's body in the, uh, woods. Olivia: Yeah, I know. I heard. Steven: They think my mother put him there. Olivia: What? Steven: She's at the police station right now. I've been trying to get a lawyer all afternoon. So far, no luck. Olivia: Honey, I am so sorry. I'm so sorry that you have to be going through all this. I mean, I guess, at least we know now what Heather was up to that night, right? Steven: No, we don't. We don't know anything. [SCENE_BREAK] Todd: That's your big plan? You want me to dress up like some drunk guy that you supposedly were shagging at the Rendezvous Hotel. Heather: No, you idiot. Todd: Stop saying that. You - I'm not gonna be your beard. No one would ever believe that we were dating. Heather: No kidding. I need someone who looks like Anthony, and you don't. Todd: Right, I don't. For one thing, I'm alive. Heather: So, I need to get somebody who does look like Anthony. Todd: Okay, well, we'll just put out a casting call. Heather: You know what? Sarcasm is not the most attractive form of humor. Todd: Who's joking? Heather: Well, for a moment, I thought you were. Now, what we have to do is go out and find somebody who looks like Anthony, only I already have. Todd: Right. You found somebody who resembles a mafia kingpin who's willing to lie to the cops. Heather: Yes, in fact, I did. His number's in my bag. Todd: So, what do you need me for? Heather: Well, the police commissioner was in such a rush to detain me that I wasn't able to collect my things, so I left my purse sitting on my desk. It's right outside your office. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: How are you doing? I haven't talked to you since -- Sam: The baby. Maxie: Yeah. I'm so sorry. Sam: Thank you. Thank you for the flowers. You didn't have to do that. Maxie: They didn't put any carnations in it, did they? 'Cause I specifically told them nothing pink, yellow, or orange. Sam: Actually, the bouquet was beautiful, and it had the perfect Maxie-esque touch. And thank you for doing that. I know you were going through your own hard time. Maxie: Oh, please, Sam. Come on. I just -- when I heard about it, I just felt so bad for you. I mean, I can't imagine what you must be going through. Which, to be honest, it's why I'm a little confused what you're doing here. Sam: I-I'm, um, I'm actually Todd Manning's new assistant. Maxie: Oh. Okay. But you're a P.I. I mean, you don't know anything about fashion or publishing. I mean, you -- you like breaking and entering, getting shot at. Sam: Yeah, it's kind of complicated. Maxie: Did Spinelli drop you like he dropped me? Sam: Can we have this conversation a little bit later? There's something I need to do. Maxie: Okay, yeah, that is a truly tragic accessory. I mean, this is just the kind of thing Crimson used to educate women not to carry. I mean, just because you're on a limited budget, that is no excuse to carry around a horror show like this. Todd: I've been looking for one just like this. Maxie: Oh, um, Mr. Manning, hi. I'm Maxie Jones-Hunter. Todd: Oh, that's great. Maxie: Um, I used to work here, I mean, at Crimson, and I was wondering if you could talk me about the mag -- Sam: Oh! I can't believe he just took the bag. Maxie: What is so important about that hideous bag? [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: What is it you think happened to the pills? Epiphany: I believe they were stolen. But more importantly, I'm pretty sure I know who the thief is. Patrick: And who's that? Epiphany: Ramon. Patrick: Who's Ramón? Epiphany: Santiago. The orderly. Some of the nurses saw him hanging around the drug lockup and then the pills went missing. Patrick: Is that the only reason why you think it was him? Epiphany: No. He's been written up a couple of times. Nothing serious. But it is becoming a pattern. Patrick: Okay. Why you, uh, bringing this up to me, Epiphany? Epiphany: Doctor, there's someone stealing drugs on our floor. Amphetamines, to be exact. It's a pretty serious crime. I thought you'd want to know. [SCENE_BREAK] Molly: Mom, seriously, have you completely lost it? Alexis: Hi, Shawn. Shawn: Alexis, what do I owe this honor? Alexis: Unfortunately, I'm not here on a social call. I'm here to discuss what happened on Fourth of July. I'm assuming T.J. didn't say anything to you. Shawn: I'm not sure I understand. Uh, T.J. spent the Fourth at a friend, José's, house. Alexis: No, he didn't. He spent the day at my house in her bedroom in his underwear. Molly: Mom. Shawn: That's not possible. Alexis: Well, you don't take my word for it, ask T.J. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Johnny needed to talk, and all I did was listen. Dante: Are you telling me Johnny's actually grieving? He hated Anthony. Lulu: Well, his relationship with Anthony was complicated. Kind of like yours with Sonny. Dante: You can't compare Sonny with Anthony. Lulu: Well, you -- you hated Sonny for years. You swore up and down that you wanted him in prison. And if anything had ever happened to him, you would have been devastated. And that's what Johnny's going through right now. He never resolved things with Anthony, and now he never will. Dante: Anthony wasn't even Johnny's father. Lulu: Are you serious? He's the only father that Johnny ever knew. Dante: Yeah, and he lied to him his whole life. He made his -- his mother pretend to be his sister. I mean, that -- that -- that stuff is crazy. That's motive for murder right there. Lulu: Okay, can we just -- can we talk about what's really going on? Dante: Sure. What's that? Lulu: Well, you said that you were okay with me working with Johnny. Dante: Yeah, and you said it was gonna be professional, but you consoling him in his grief, that sounds pretty personal to me. [SCENE_BREAK] Steven: There's no proof my mother's done anything wrong. The cops aren't even saying she killed Anthony, only that she could have buried his body. Olivia: Oh, is that all? Steven: She didn't do it, Olivia. She told me it was just coincidence. Olivia: Okay. What is her explanation? Steven: When the officer stopped her that night, she was with a guy she met on the Internet and he happened to bear a slight resemblance to Anthony. Olivia: Honey, come on. Don't you think that that's just a little bit convenient? I mean, she -- she -- first she said she went to Kelly's for a BLT. When I point out that that wasn't possible, she says she went to the Floating Rib for a drink. I prove that didn't happen, and she changes her story again. She said she was out driving around in the woods with some stranger that she met on the Internet? Honey, come on. This is Heather. This is your mother that we're talking about. She wasn't out driving around in the woods with some guy who happened to look like Anthony. That was Anthony, only he was dead! [SCENE_BREAK] Todd: Okay, I got the bag. What do you want me to do? Heather: Just look inside it. There will be a piece of paper with the man's phone number on it. Todd: Okay. I can't find anything in here. Do you ever clean this thing out? Heather: Just find it. Call him and get him down here. Todd: He knows what you want him to do? Heather: Just tell him -- I'm ready to pull the trigger. Todd: Oh, okay. Then I'll send up the secret signal and we'll signal the other avengers. Heather: Oh, that's hilarious. You know, while you're pondering your next punch line, consider this. If I go down for Anthony Zacchara's murder, I'll expose you for switching Sam's live baby with Téa's dead one. Todd: [Sighs] Oh. I don't even want to think about where half this stuff's been. What is -- no. That can't be. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: [Sam and her husband aren't together anymore. He didn't want to raise a child that wasn't his. If I had to guess, I'd say that Sam was here to abandon her own child. Todd: I know a little something about that. Heather: And the woman out there, she already loves him. Todd: But it's not her kid. Heather: Don't you see? It really is a miracle. They've both been given a second chance.] [SCENE_BREAK] T.J.: Shawn, listen, Miss Davis has got it all wrong. Alexis: Why is that? Because I'm insane? Shawn: Okay, whoa, whoa. Back up. Okay, look, I don't know what happened with Molly, but T.J. hasn't gone anywhere near her since you forbade him to see each other last winter. Alexis: That's what you thought. That's what I thought. They were lying. T.J.: It's true. Me and Molly have been seeing each other. Alexis: Actually, she's been seeing a little more of him than I'd like. Molly: No, you're wrong. Totally jumping to a mistaken conclusion without proper presentation of fact. T.J.: I was changing into my trunks. That's it. I had my boxers on, and she wasn't even in the room. Alexis: He shouldn't have been there in the first place. Molly: I was in the kitchen getting us some snacks for us to take down to the dock, because like T.J. said and I've tried to explain over and over again, we were going swimming. T.J.: Molly and I have kissed. That's it. We like each other. What's the big deal? [SCENE_BREAK] Epiphany: I usually consult medical staff before I report anyone to H.R. Patrick: I didn't know that. Epiphany: I usually went to Robin. I trusted her judgment. She always wanted to be kept apprised of any personnel issues. Patrick: That sounds like Robin. Epiphany: Someone stealing drugs? She'd be very concerned. Patrick: Yes. She would be very concerned. Epiphany: So, what do you want to do about Ramón? Ramon: She's accusing me of stealing drugs, isn't she? Just because she doesn't like me that means I'm stealing drugs? Epiphany: That is for H.R. To decide. Patrick: Epiphany, wait. Ramon didn't steal the drugs. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Of course it was personal. Johnny just found out that his father is dead, and I'm a human being. I can't help that I feel sympathy for him. Dante: So you -- you were so worried about Johnny's feelings that you decided to blow off work? Lulu: I didn't decide anything. I told you that I forgot. Dante: Oh, okay. You forgot. You forgot. I mean, you can't just come and go as you please. I mean, people are depending on you here. Lulu: [Chuckles] Okay. I realize that I have responsibilities here. But I also know that the world is not gonna stop turning if I'm not here to file a file. Dante: No, the world is not gonna stop turning, Lulu, but don't you think it looks bad that -- that you forgot about your job so you could tend to poor Johnny? Lulu: I cannot believe you're giving me a hard time for being nice to him. Dante: I just -- I just don't want you being that nice to John Zacchara. [SCENE_BREAK] Steven: We don't know who was in my mother's car, but there is absolutely no proof it was Anthony Zacchara, dead or alive. Olivia: Honey, I realize that you want to give your mother the benefit of the doubt here, but I think it's time for you to accept who Heather really is. Steven: I know she's been misguided sometimes, but that doesn't mean she's been driving around a dead body in her car, much less involved in a murder. Olivia: I know how much this must hurt, okay, and how disappointing this must be, but Heather did what she did, and you have to face it. Steven: I guess you must feel pretty good. Got what you wanted. [SCENE_BREAK] Todd: "Mother -- Samantha Morgan. Father -- Jason Morgan." It's not Franco. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Okay, if that handbag is yours, please tell me it's left over from some undercover job where you were posing as a woman with no taste. Sam: It's Heather Webber's. Todd Manning hired her as the new gossip columnist. Maxie: Okay, that's weird. But it doesn't explain why you were going through her bag. Sam: The bag is a part of a new investigation. Maxie: Oh, so you are still working with Spinelli -- Sam: Shh, shh, shh! Shh, shh, shh! Olivia hired us, yes, and she thinks that Heather's hiding something. The police are asking a ton of questions, calling her in. I think it's something -- hey. Hi. Do you need me to file that? [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: Y-you think that I am happy that your mother is involved in a murder? Steven: You've been wanting dirt on her, haven't you? Congratulations. You got it. Olivia: It is not about some vendetta between me and Heather! Steven: You hired a private detective to investigate her, Olivia! Olivia: It was for you! Steven: For me? Olivia: Out of my love for you! Steven: To prove my mother's a cold-blooded killer?! Olivia: But you already knew that she was capable of murder! That's why she was put in Ferncliff in the first place! Steven: She's been getting treatment and rehab in Ferncliff for years, and her doctor said she was ready to be released! Olivia: Steve, you took personal legal responsibility for Heather and all her actions. So yes, I was afraid that if she got mixed up in something, it would hurt you! And okay, I am happy that she's finally been caught, okay?! I'm relieved that now maybe she can get the help that she needs before she hurts herself or somebody else. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Mr. Manning, would you like me to do something with that? Make copies? File it? Anything? Maxie: Oh, um, hey, Mr. Manning. If you have a moment, I would love to talk to you about Crimson. I am really good at my job, and you could hire me back in a heartbeat. I make great lattés. Okay, maybe later! Well, that was about what I expected. Self-absorbed, entitled, and rude. Sam: No, no, no. It's true. He's -- he's not big on social conventions. But I-it's -- it's strange. Sometimes he looks at me like he wants to bear his soul or tell me some deep, dark secret, and then he asks me to file something. It just -- it just doesn't make any sense. Maxie: Yeah, well, what doesn't make sense to me is that Todd Manning is known as a smart publisher, okay? And he gives the people what they want. He gives them juicy headlines, pictures, gossip, innuendo, the whole thing. But if you're gonna write gossip, you have to be smart. Otherwise, you're gonna get sued and shut down. So, why would somebody like Todd Manning trust a crucial part of his paper to someone like Heather Webber? Sam: I don't -- I don't know. I'm not sure that it actually happened like that. Maxie: You just said that he hired her to do the gossip column. Sam: Yeah, but [Sighs] I'm not sure Heather actually filled out an application, is what I'm saying. I think there's something going on. Maxie: Between Todd Manning and Heather Webber? Okay, that's just gross. Sam: No, no, no, no. I am not talking about romantically. No. Maxie: Okay, good. 'Cause I was gonna say, if I was forced to watch that every day, I don't think I'd want my job back. Okay, so, what do you think they're doing? Sam: I don't know. I-I do think it's something shady. And I think we have to start finding out now. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: Excuse me. Could you do me a favor? Do you have someone around here that can run errands? I could really use a lipstick. I left my bag back at the office, and I think a burst of color would just brighten up my mood. Fine. Be that way. Just wait till you're accused of a crime you didn't commit. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Why are you jealous of Johnny? I never thought you were that kind of a guy. Dante: It's not jealousy, okay? I don't trust the guy. And it's about the Anthony Zacchara case. Lulu: So, you have a new lead? Dante: Yeah. Heather Webber. Looks like she moved the body. Lulu: Why? Dante: I don't know. There's a bunch of theories. The point is, we don't think she's the killer because there was no motive. But Johnny had a motive. Lulu: Oh, and what about my dad? You put out an APB. Dante: That was Anna who put out the APB. And look, she doesn't want your father to be guilty, but he picked the worst time to run away. Lulu: We're talking about my father. He disappears all the time. That doesn't mean that he has anything to do with Anthony's murder. Dante: Look, the longer he's gone, the worse it looks on him and the department. Lulu: What -- are you trying to say? That because I work here, I'm a liability? Dante: It doesn't look good because of your relationship with your father, and now you're so closely associated with John Zacchara. Lulu: "Closely associated"? Dante: He owns half of the bar, Lulu, okay? People are gonna think that's a conflict of interest. Lulu: Maybe you're right. Maybe I should quit. Dante: Quit what? Working with Johnny? Lulu: No. I mean quit working here at the PCPD. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: The bottom line is, I told you that you couldn't see T.J. Molly: Which was reactionary and totally unfair. Alexis: Really, Molly? I'm sure you've heard this before, but life's not fair. I also think that my objections were well -- well-founded here because he was not a good influence because "A," he stole a car -- Molly: No, he took it for a joyride, and that was months ago. Alexis: "B," threw a kegger in my living room. He advertised it on MyFace. He got it so out of control that you ended up drunk and passed out. Molly: Oh, my God. How many times do I have to say? T.J.'s not the reason I got drunk that night. And if he's such a bad influence, then how come we've been seeing each other for months and I haven't once been convicted of a felony? Shawn: T.J. has been on the straight and narrow. Alexis: Maybe he's just gotten good at covering his tracks. Shawn: No, I've been keeping track of what T.J.'S doing. I ride him pretty hard about it. You know, he's made an honest effort to shape up. Molly: See? Alexis: See what? His honest efforts are not the point here. Molly: Oh, then, what is the point, Mother? Alexis: Don't you "Mother" me. The point is, is that you disobeyed me. I told you that you couldn't see T.J., And then you just deliberately went against the limits I set. T.J.: Right. Because I'm Black? [SCENE_BREAK] Epiphany: Ramon didn't steal the drugs? How do you know? Patrick: I-I don't know, but just because he was in the vicinity of the drug lockup doesn't mean he did it. I mean, you could say that about any member of staff. Epiphany: Doctor, as I've informed you, Mr. Santiago here has many infractions in his file. Patrick: Right, which means that he would be on his best behavior. Look, I-I've worked with him on the floor. He's a good kid. I don't want him to lose his job because of something we -- we can't even prove. Ramon: Does this mean you're not gonna go to H.R.? Epiphany: For now. But let me tell you something. Anything goes on in this hospital, I'll find out about it, one way or another. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: T.J., I am not a racist. I don't care whether you're black, white, blue, green, yellow. You were undressed in my daughter's bedroom, and she wasn't supposed to be seeing you. This has nothing to do with race, all right? This has to do with the two of you sneaking around. Now, you live under his roof. She lives under mine. And whether you like it or not, we get to make the rules. Shawn: Alexis is right, you know? I have to be able to trust you. And I do. O-other than this lapse in judgment, you know, T.J.'s behavior in the last few months has been exemplary. T.J.: Thank you. I'm glad you noticed. Shawn: You know, I say Molly's a good influence, so as long as they aren't having sex, doing drugs, or drinking, I've got no problem with T.J. and Molly seeing each other. Molly: And what about you, Mom? Those okay? [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: So, w-what? You're really gonna quit your job here? Lulu: It would solve a lot of our problems, wouldn't it? Dante: I don't know if it would solve all our problems. Lulu: What are you talking about? Dante: Think that it would make it worse. Excuse me. Can I help you? Todd: No, no, no. Don't let me interrupt your little lovers' squabble. I'm just here to see Heather Webber. Dante: Uh, Heather Webber's not having any visitors except for her lawyer, and her son's out trying to find one for her, so that could be awhile. Todd: Oh. How well do you know Heather Webber? Dante: Well enough. Todd: So, you know her history, right? Dante: You mean, her, uh, Ferncliff? Todd: Yeah, that. Yeah. A very fragile mental state. Dante: Yeah. Todd: Confined space. She just called me. She's like a powder keg. I would hate for her to blow before her lawyer got here. Dante: Well, you know, that's a chance that I think we'll just have to take. Todd: Okay. You know, I-I didn't want to do this, but I am the owner/publisher of the sun. And you know what? I could run a big, splashy front page with a picture of the two of you trysting in the squad room. Dante: Trysting in the squad room? Todd: I know. I'll do better. Dante: You know what? Don't bother. Knock yourself out. You want to go babysit Heather Webber? Have fun. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: This here doesn't make any sense. Why would Todd dump Heather's purse on his desk? Look at all this. Maxie: I don't know. Maybe he likes candles or he needed some -- cooking fuel or -- ooh, a can of smoked oysters. Okay, this woman is definitely more disturbed than I thought. Sam: Maybe he was looking for something. Maxie: Well, yeah. Whatever it is, it's not something that he couldn't find at a convenience store. Sam: You're right. There's nothing incriminating here. Maxie: Well, whatever Heather's up to, she doesn't like to keep records. Sam: Or Todd took them with him. Maxie: That's a good point. Sam: Either way, I've got to tell Spinelli we have nothing and that I've got to start over. Maxie: So, what do you and Spinelli talk about these days? Has he told you how much he hates me? Sam: [Sighs] Spinelli doesn't hate you, Maxie. Maxie: Yeah, well, he cut me out of his life without a second thought. I mean, if anybody should be doing the cutting, it's me. Spinelli betrayed me, Sam. He promised that he wouldn't tell anybody that Matt killed Lisa Niles, and then he just blabs it to an entire courtroom. Sam: Yeah, I know, but he -- he did that to keep you out of prison. Maxie: Well, it's Spinelli's fault that I had to marry Matt. I had to save him, and I can't testify against him if I'm married to him, so -- Sam: Okay, but Matt made the decision to turn himself in, so why stay married? Maxie: Ever heard of loyalty? Sam: I don't know. I'm sure Spinelli could ask you the same question. You hurt him, Maxie. And that guy has been hurt like a serious amount of times. Maxie: Yeah, well, I mean, Spinelli can't expect me to divorce Matt when he's in prison. It's not right. And besides, you know what? I love Matt, or at least I'm supposed to, so -- [Sighs] Sam: Okay. Exactly. So you made your choice, and now Spinelli has to move on -- without you, no matter how much it hurts. Trust me. I'm [Scoffs] Out -- out of anyone, I think I can understand how he feels. Maxie: You and Jason? Sam: Yeah. Let's just say things have gone from bad to -- worse. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: Todd? What are you doing here? Todd: You called me. Heather: I think I was very clear with my instructions. I need an alibi. Todd: Screw your alibi! Heather: Excuse me? Todd: I'm pretty sure you just heard me. What -- is this? Heather: Where did you get that? Todd: From your bag. Heather: What? Who said you could go through my things?! Todd: You did! Jason Morgan is the father, and you let everybody think that it was Franco?! Heather: I know. Delicious, isn't it? [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: All right. I can go as far as to say that maybe I've been a little -- over-reactive and that maybe banning complete contact, uh, may have been a little -- Molly: Totally unreasonable? Alexis: No. I-I didn't say that, Molly. I didn't say that at all. I-I'm not happy with the way the two of you have behaved, but I am willing to, um, consider that one more opportunity might be, uh -- that maybe it would be okay if they dated? Dated. Molly: You mean it? Alexis: Stringent ground rules. Any infraction of these rules will result in the immediate termination of those privileges. Shawn: Uh, Alexis, this is not a plea bargain, okay? They're just two kids dating. Alexis: Break the rules, deal's off the table. T.J.: We'll follow the rules, whatever they are. Alexis: Number one -- no closed bedroom doors. Number two -- no late nights on weekdays. Number three - no drugs, no drinking, and that includes all controlled substances. Number four -- Shawn and I get to be on your MyFace pages. Number five -- you do not go to parties without our permission. You do not have parties without our permission. I will have the contracts drawn up. I want them signed and notarized tomorrow morning. Agreed? Molly: Yeah. Agreed. T.J.: Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: [Sighs] What's with Manning and Heather Webber? I mean, you think the guy would be relieved she's locked up. Saves him having to keep her on as a columnist. "Trysting in the squad room." Lulu: Yeah, he's not very observant since we were pretty much doing the opposite. Dante: [Sighs] Look, uh, this doesn't have to be a fight. Lulu: Well, it's too late for that. And I have to go to the evidence room. Dante: Okay. I don't want to leave things like this. Lulu: I'm sorry. I'm busy right now. I have to make up for missed time. By the way, welcome home. [SCENE_BREAK] Ramon: Dr. Drake? Patrick: Yeah? Ramon: Thanks for having my back. Patrick: Yeah. No problem. Ramon: I mean it. Someone could get in a lot of trouble for stealing drugs. Don't worry. I got your back, too. Patrick: What are you talking about? Ramon: I know you stole those samples. Perks of being a Doc, right? Like I said, don't worry. Your secret's safe with me. [SCENE_BREAK] Steven: Doesn't matter what she did. I am not going to abandon her. I don't care what it takes. I'm gonna find a lawyer who can help her. Olivia: Okay. If that's what you need to do, then that's what we'll do. Steven: "We"? Olivia: Yes. I'm with you, Steve. Always. [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: I kissed someone last night, someone that wasn't Jason. Maxie: Um, well, as you know, this is an area in which I have an unfortunate amount of expertise. I mean, I've kissed a lot of guys that I shouldn't have and slept with a few of them. You didn't sleep with him, though? Sam: No. No, no. It was -- it was -- it was just a kiss. It was only a kiss. But we were both a little upset and maybe a little drunk. Maybe -- maybe a lot drunk. But we agreed that it was never gonna happen. Maxie: I mean, agreements like that, Sam, they don't -- they don't last long. Sam: Yeah, but this one -- this one -- this one will because he's not gonna be in Port Charles anymore. Maxie: Okay, so perfect solution. He's out of town, you won't be tempted, and Jason never has to know, okay? Sam: Jason saw us. Maxie: That's bad. Sam: Jason kissed someone else. Maxie: That's worse. Sam: And when -- when I was at Kelly's and I saw Jason, he wasn't wearing his wedding ring. Maxie: That's really upsetting. Hey, you know what? Any wedding ring that you take off, I mean, you can put it right back on. And you and Jason can make it through this. I mean, hey, I helped plan your wedding. Sam: [Sighs] Maxie: You and Jason really love each other, Sam. And you know what? Trust me, I know. Love like that, it doesn't just go away. Sam: I don't know. There was a time that I thought maybe what you're saying could be right, but n-now, I don't think there's anything that could hold Jason and I together. [SCENE_BREAK] Todd: You didn't just switch the babies. You switched the DNA?! You let poor Sam think that it was Franco's kid but it's really Jason's kid?! Heather: So? Todd: So?! Heather: Sam tried to keep me from my son, so what did she do to deserve a happy ending with her son?! Todd: [Stammering] Her baby! Dead! She -- there's no happy ending for Sam! Heather: You needed a baby for Téa. Todd: Yeah. Yeah. I-I-I did. And I-I-I allowed you to convince me that Sam wouldn't want to have the baby if the father was a rapist. But now I find out that Jason is the father. Heather: Don't feel bad for Jason. He's just a thug with no appreciation for art. Todd: Sam's marriage is falling apart because she thinks that Jason is responsible for killing a baby that isn't even dead, all because you lied to me! Heather: Believe me, everybody's better off. You, the baby, and certainly Téa. Todd: See, this is why -- this is why you never, never trust a stranger that you meet in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night if she's pushing around a dead body in a wheelbarrow. Heather: You think? I helped you out a lot that night, Mr. Manning. Todd: No. No. For weeks now, I have felt this odd, strange, new sensation that people call guilt, and now it turns out that what I really did is way worse than what I thought I did. Heather: Okay, so a few of the details have changed. The fact remains. There's nothing you can do about it.
