Jason takes Sam to a house in the woods and tells her that he had planned to spend their wedding night there. He tells her he lived there after the accident and that it's the first place that felt like home. They make honeymoon love. Ethan regains consciousness in Wyndemere to find Helena Cassadine holding a knife to his throat and saying there are penalties for trespassing. He escapes her grasp and they chat about Luke and Laura. Meanwhile, Luke watches from the shadows. Helena shares some pearls of wisdom and departs. Ethan remains and looks at Laura's portrait until his attention is taken by the sound of a squeaking door. Lucky and Elizabeth talk about Laura. He admits to her that he used. Mac tells Lucky that Dante was shot at Sonny's coffee warehouse. Lucky says he should have been in the warehouse, but he cancelled on Dante. He then comes clean with Mac about everything beginning with being shot up by JT's men. He hands over his badge and gun and goes to GH. Shawn runs interference with the police conducting the investigation of Dante's shooting at Sonny's coffee warehouse. He gets the female officer to drop her guard. He goes into the bathroom and constructs a bomb, then comes out and says he found it there. Ronnie Dimestico tries to force Spinelli to hand over security footage from the warehouse. Spinelli hands this laptop to Ronnie, but Maxie takes it back and threatens to tell Mac that Ronnie is harassing his daughter. Moments later, Max delivers the same request from Sonny. Johnny goes to GH. Sonny knows Johnny already knows what happened to Dante. He warns him what will happen if he finds evidence that Johnny had anything to do with it. Lulu holds Dante's hand in his room as he struggles to speak. He asks her what her answer is, but before she responds, he goes into cardiac crisis and Steve makes her step away and takes Dante to an operating room. Lulu blames Sonny. Olivia tells Lulu that Dante's love for her will pull him through. Sonny listens from nearby as Olivia demands to know if Johnny had anything to do with Dante getting shot.
Sam: Um... Jason: Yeah. Sam: Mr. Morgan, is there something wrong with the bike? Jason: No. There's not. Sam: Okay, well, why'd we pull over? Jason: This is the surprise. Sam: This is it? The surprise? Jason: Yeah. What? Are--are you disappointed? Sam: No. No, I'm just--I don't know. Maybe I'm a little confused, because we're only a few miles away from the last spot, where we were looking at the stars in the sky. Jason: That is very good PI work. We're just a couple miles down the country road. Sam: Yeah, I was watching the signs as we were--as we were going. So, um...this is it. Jason: We're almost there. Sam: Where? Jason: Come on. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: You're so good with him. Lucky: Oh. I love spending time with our son. Elizabeth: Did I just hear you singing to him? Lucky: Yeah. That was a song my mom used to sing all the time. [SCENE_BREAK] [Ethan groans] Helena: It really is time your family learned there are penalties for trespassing. [SCENE_BREAK] Delores: Makes sense to start here, where Detective Falconeri was shot. But I guess we should wait for the lieutenant to get back. Policeman: That could take a while. We should get started. Shawn: You might want to rethink that. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: What the hell are you doing here? Johnny: I heard the news. Sonny: Yeah, I'm sure you know what happened, and I'm sure you had something to do with it. Right? [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: [Breathing heavily] That dress. It looks r--re--really beautiful. Lulu: [Crying] It's from the opera, the one that you took me to. Dante: I know. [Breathing heavily] I know. The scene, yeah. [Lulu cries] Dante: The proposal. [Breathing heavily] What's your answer? [Lulu cries] [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Wow. Who knew this was even here? Jason: Uh, it was...built this way. Sam: Really? Oh, you--you do seem to know an awful lot about it. Was it gonna be a safe house or something? Jason: Something like that. It's not really finished. I hope to get around to that. Sam: Wait a minute. You built this? Jason: Well, I mean, I did, uh--did some of the work. And then I brought a crew in to do some of it, and, you know, I wanted to put the finishing touches on it myself, but I kind of got a little, uh, sidetracked. Sam: Yeah. The accident. Jason: Yeah, I thought at one time that...this would be the place that we'd spend our wedding night. [SCENE_BREAK] Ethan: Now, you wouldn't want to do anything rash. Helena: Why not? Ethan: The Spencers make your life interesting. Helena: Oh. Ethan: We present you with a challenge. Now, I haven't become acquainted with your many talents...or you mine. Helena: Bold. Like your father. Defensive like your brother, but careless and uninformed when it comes to the enemy at hand, which makes you reckless...like your sister. Ethan: Two out of three ain't bad. Helena: Why are you here? Ethan: I was speaking with my brother. Got curious about a few things. Helena: You mean her? Ethan: Looks like somebody already had a problem with her tonight. Helena: Well, if I wanted to slash Laura's face or her throat, I would've gone for the real thing. Perhaps I already have. Ethan: No, you wouldn't do anything to Laura. And you won't do anything to me. Helena: You're very sure of yourself for a man with his clothes on. Ethan: Excuse me? Helena: Well, you wouldn't be the first man to trade his favors to get himself out of a hazardous situation. No, I'm ready to hear the arguments for and against...disrobing. Ethan: You must have me confused with my father. Helena: Not likely. So...what did you hope to find in this place? Ethan: Well...I would say I was looking for answers, but I don't even know what the questions are now that Luke's gone. Helena: Luke is gone, and his family is falling apart in his wake. Ethan: You know, last I heard, Luke was stealing diamonds for you. Helena: Well...the diamonds weren't what I had hoped for, and Luke has lost some of his luster, too. No, he disappeared after that last meeting. I haven't seen nor heard from him since. Ethan: Hmm. So you came back here to find him? Helena: Oh. My life doesn't completely revolve around your family. Ethan: Tell me about her. Helena: Well, now, why is she so important to you? She's--she's not even your biological mother. Ethan: No. But she's Lucky's. She wasn't self-destructive. She could find hope she could always rise above. Lucky could use that right now. Helena: Oh. Lucky needs to find his own strength. And if you think that Laura wasn't self-destructive...you couldn't be more wrong. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: You know, my mom used to sing that song to Lulu when she was a baby. She told me that she used to sing it to me, too. Elizabeth: I know you miss her. Lucky: Yeah. Yeah, I do. I've--I've been, uh, thinking about her a lot lately. And I'd really like her to meet Aiden. I was hoping that she was gonna have a chance to meet Siobhan, but... Elizabeth: Does she even know what happened to Siobhan? Lucky: Uh, I still haven't figured out how that conversation is supposed to go down. You know, I just don't want to put too much on her and--and mess with her recovery, you know? Elizabeth: Yeah. No, no, no. You shouldn't. Lucky: You know, when I first brought Siobhan back from Ireland, we were trying to figure out where we were, and--and everything was so complicated. And I actually called my mom a few times and talked to her about it. I was amazed. She gave me some really good advice. [Sighs] Elizabeth: Well, what about...what about us? Lucky: What do you mean? Elizabeth: Well, did you tell your mom that--that we're not together anymore? Did you tell her about Nikolas? Lucky: No. I mean, I--yeah, I-I told her that we weren't...together and that, um, you know, we'd just...grown apart. Um, but I-I just didn't think it was best to, uh, give her all the details. I mean, she's still pretty fragile. Elizabeth: Yeah. Lucky: You know? Elizabeth: Yeah, I know. I'm sure it's tricky for you. Lucky: Mm-hmm. Yeah, it can be. You know, Lulu took it pretty hard when she found out that Nikolas and I were managing Mom in that way, as she put it. I guess that's why she, uh, had such a huge reaction when she found out Dante lied to her. Elizabeth: Hey, maybe you and I can take Aiden to see your mom. I'll leave the timing up to you, but... Lucky: Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great. I mean, I really want her to meet Aiden, like I said. [Sniffles] That'd be great. But I guess the best news that she's gonna get right away is that, uh, Lulu and Dante...are getting married. Elizabeth: They're getting married? Lucky: Yeah. Well, I mean, Lulu has to say yes first, but if everything goes according to Dante's plan, then they should be engaged any second now. [SCENE_BREAK] [Dante breathing heavily] Lulu: I wanted everything to be perfect. Dante: It will be. [Breathing heavily] Come on. What's your answer? Steve: Excuse me. Lulu: No. Not now. Dante: Just tell me. [Monitor beeping] [Dante gasping] Steve: I need you to step back. It's all right. [SCENE_BREAK] Johnny: Sonny, I didn't shoot Dante. Nor did I arrange for anybody to do it, either. Sonny: Arrange? You're choosing your words pretty carefully there, Johnny. Johnny: You really thing I'd shoot him and then run over here to watch him die? Sonny: Maybe this is your cover story. Johnny: Yeah, spoken like someone who's done it once or twice. Look, if it's not enough to hate me and you want to throw around these false accusations, at least have the proof to back it up, huh? Sonny: If there's proof, I will find it. [SCENE_BREAK] Ronnie: I need the security footage from the coffee warehouse now, all right? Somebody shot Dante in receiving. Maxie: Dante got shot? How bad? Ronnie: He's in the ER. And from what I saw, he left a hell of a lot of blood at the warehouse. Spinelli: As happy as I-I would be to help, I'm--I'm afraid I-I simply can't. Ronnie: Cut the clever crap and pull up the footage. Maxie: He said he can't. Ronnie: Can't? This little geek was probably hacking into his computers in his elementary school, trying to change his PE grades. All right? That's the only reason Jason keeps him around. Maxie: Look, Spinelli brings a lot more to table than just his computer skills. He also happens to be very caring, smart, and incredibly brave. Ronnie: Look, save it for his mob bio, okay? Now, pull up the footage. I'm giving you five seconds. You know, for a genius, you're pretty stupid. I'm busting you for obstruction of justice. Maxie: Leave him alone. He said he can't do it. Spinelli: Here. Take it. Search for the footage yourself. Maxie: What? Ronnie: No problem. I'll take it down to the station. Maxie: No way. You are not leaving with Spinelli's laptop, okay? Ronnie: You're gonna stop me? Maxie: The Police Commissioner, also known as your boss, would love to know that you've been harassing his daughter. Now hand it over. [Ronnie sighs] Maxie: And unless you've got a warrant, you need to be leaving now. Ronnie: You know, your friend Lulu--she's not gonna be too happy when she finds out that you're not gonna help her find the guy who shot her boyfriend. [Maxie scoffs] [Door opens] [Door closes] Maxie: What were you thinking? I mean, you used to freak out if anybody came within three feet of that thing, and now you're just gonna hand it over to cops? You really don't know how to use that thing anymore, do you? Spinelli: You defended me. Maxie: Of course I defended you. I always defend you. So, wait. If you've lost the footage, that means you've also lost a lot of other stuff that Sonny's not gonna be too happy about losing. [Door opens] Max: Hey, guys. The boss needs all the security footage from the coffee warehouse now. [SCENE_BREAK] Delores: This is a crime scene. We don't need a warrant. Shawn: Doesn't mean you won't compromise this operation. Delores: Operation? Shawn: [Sighs] Sorry. Force of habit. Delores: Right. You were a Marine. Shawn: Oh, you never stop being a Marine. Delores: And now you're a suspect in a cop shooting. Congrats. Shawn: I get it. One of yours gets hit, you want to make somebody pay. Been there. Nobody wants to find out who's responsible more than I do. You know, nothing in this warehouse is going anywhere. You guys should expand your crime-scene perimeter, look for tire tracks, footprints, cigarette butts before it all gets trampled. Delores: You know, the more you talk, the more I think that we're gonna find something here that's gonna lead us right to Sonny Corinthos. Shawn: Big mistake relying on old assumptions. Delores: Hold on. This is my first crime scene since my transfer. I'm not gonna risk getting blamed for blowing the investigation, so we're gonna do this by the book. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: I remember how happy Lulu was when we were going to get married. Lucky: Thanks. Elizabeth: I think she always saw us as a sign that two people who are meant to be together could overcome any obstacles. Well, now it's Lulu and Dante's turn. Lucky: Well, I, uh, really hope it works out for them. Elizabeth: I'm glad Lulu realized that Dante and I were only trying to protect you. Lucky: I just hate the position that this has put you in. You know, there are still questions about your involvement and -- Elizabeth: No, no, no. I would do it all over again. I mean, I finally got the chance to help you after all the times you've helped me. I'm proud of you. I'm really proud of you for the way you've handled things. Lucky: Don't be. [SCENE_BREAK] Johnny: What are you gonna do, huh? You gonna manufacture evidence to implicate me? Sonny: I'm not gonna have to. Steve: Get him into OR 2 now. I'm gonna need you to stay here. I'll update you when I can. Sonny: I'm gonna ask around. If there's any inclination that you had something to do with this...you're gonna be lucky if they even find any pieces of you to put on a stretcher, Johnny. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: You do know that I loved our wedding night at that little inn. Jason: Oh, I just--you know, I wanted it to be...more. Or I thought maybe that you wanted it to be more. Sam: No. Are you kidding? It was us. It was unconventional. It was in the moment. There was nothing mushy or messy or--I didn't even--I didn't even shove a whole cake in your face. Jason: Well, you know what? I wasn't really looking forward to that part. Sam: I...wasn't, either. You know what? I can close my eyes, and I can see the lanterns swaying in Mrs. Yi's garden. And I can smell the lilies. But the most important, I feel like I can feel you next to me. Jason, when you put your hand in my hand, I could feel your heartbeat in mine. And it matched up with mine, and I knew right then and there it was right. It was right. I mean...what more could I have asked for? Jason: I don't know. Whatever Maxie was pulling her hair out over. Sam: No. Are you kidding? That wound up perfect, too. We got our conventional mixed with our nonconventional wedding. Friends and family in a church. So far, I've gotten everything I've ever wanted out of this marriage. Jason: You know, I, um... [Sam clears throat] Jason: I wanted you to see this place tonight after the conversation we had about--about Danny, how he'd sneak into the springhouse and, you know, look at the stars. Sam: There are a lot of stars out here. Jason: Yeah, you could always see a lot of stars. Sam: What made you...build here? Jason: It was, um...it was the first place that ever felt like home. [SCENE_BREAK] Ethan: So what makes you say Laura was self-destructive? Helena: Oh, the man she chose, for one thing. Ethan: Luke loved her. Helena: Luke used Laura as a moral life raft. She was one of those women who didn't mind drowning for the man she cared about, and it drove her crazy. And if that isn't self-destructive, I'd like to know what is. Ethan: Not big on love, I see. Helena: Love? Love is a weakness. Ethan: You loved. Your children, at least. I hope. Helena: I loved a son. Ethan: You had two. Helena: Now I have none. Ethan: You still have Nikolas. Helena: Oh, my darling Nikolas. He's off on a quest to find himself. Ethan: Well, if he's not here, then that does beg the question...why are you? [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: I used. Elizabeth: I know. You were forced to use. There's a big difference. Lucky: No. I, uh...I used after that, Elizabeth. On my own. Elizabeth: With the pills I gave you? Lucky: No. Uh, with the pills I took from you. And, uh, there were more pills after that and more lies, as well. Elizabeth: Are you using now? Lucky: No. Elizabeth: It's okay. Lucky, you slipped up. It's okay. Lucky: No, it's--it's not. It's not okay. That night that you were held hostage, I was jonesing so bad, I had no business even carrying a gun, let alone firing it. Elizabeth: But you saved my life. Lucky: You shouldn't have trusted me, Elizabeth. Siobhan was right. I-I-I...I was a fool to go anywhere near a drug case. I mean, I'm obviously not as recovered as I thought I was. Elizabeth: Lucky, this is not your fault. Those men injected you, and that's why your body is craving the pills. Lucky: I still had a choice. Okay? I had a choice, and--and I chose to take more pills, and I just kept right on using and...I think I'm starting to understand why. [Knock on door] Mac: Lucky? Elizabeth? It's Mac. Elizabeth: Just a minute. Hi. Mac: Hi. Can I come in? Elizabeth: Yeah, of course. Is everything okay? Mac: Uh, the guys at the station told me you'd be here. I thought I should tell you this in person. Dante's been shot. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Did they say anything to you? How bad is it? Lulu: Why was he there, Sonny? He was found in your warehouse lying in a pool of blood. Sonny: I-I have no idea. I-I had nothing to do with it. Lulu: Don't. Don't. I don't want to hear it. Sonny: I promise you, I'm gonna find out who did it, and I'm gonna take -- Lulu: I know exactly who did this. You did this! You and you alone! [SCENE_BREAK] Helena: I don't need to explain myself to you. Ethan: Ah, but we were hitting it off so nicely. Helena: Well, at least you're not her son. She destroyed Stavros and Stefan. Ethan: So maybe you're here to return the favor. Helena: The Spencers seem to be imploding quite impressively on their own, thank you. No, I've--I've misplaced something. I thought I might find it here. Now, the boys, they brought so many things from the compound in Greece to fill this place. But in the end...all they brought were ghosts. Ethan: Right. You believe in ghosts. Helena: I believe in the manifestation of emotions. Ethan: What, like love and kindness? Helena: No, love and kindness--they fade. I'm talking about something that-- that resonates like lust and revenge. Something that darkness can gather around and stick to, like dust. No. [Sighs] I'm finished here. And you should be, too. Now, escaping me is one thing, but escaping the--the brooding presence that fills these walls...that's another. Ethan: Okay. Is this some creepfest to keep me from scaling the fortress walls again? Helena: Ah, this isn't a fortress. No. This is a tomb. Oh, there are things that rustle, that scurry around in the darkness, looking for light to latch on to...looking for light to consume. Ethan: Okay, so where is all this coming from? Helena: From living as long as I have. From paying attention to my senses. There's more in this world than you know--things that even I fear. And if you have any sense, you'll fear them, too. What you can't see...can hurt you. Ethan: Well, that sounds like a challenge. Helena: Or an epitaph. Ethan: What? So that's it? You're just gonna leave? Helena: Well, the things I was looking for--they aren't here, after all. Ethan: What? Like, uh...like this? Helena: Keep it. You might need it. Ethan: Right, to fight off the ghosts. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: He was, uh, shot at Sonny's coffee warehouse. We're still trying to figure out what he was doing there. Elizabeth: Where was he hit? Mac: In the back. He made it to GH, but he lost a lot of blood. And he was off-duty. Any idea why he was there? Lucky: It was supposed to be me. [Sighs] It should've been me. You see, Dante and I thought that Jason's wedding would be a perfect opportunity for one of Sonny's rivals to make a move, so we split up and decided to canvass all the Corinthos properties. Mac: On your own? Lucky: It was just supposed to be a precautionary measure to prevent anything from happening, and I was supposed to go, but I canceled on Dante. Mac: Why'd you cancel? Elizabeth: I-it was a family matter, Mac. [Mac sighs] Lucky: No, that's--that's not--that's not why. There's a lot that you need to know, Mac. A lot that I haven't told you. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Look, I said before, I promise you, I had nothing to do with this. Lulu: You mean that you didn't pull the trigger this time. You are like a black hole that sucks in anybody who gets close. And you are in love with your chaos, and now your son has been shot again because of you. Olivia: Lulu, stop. This isn't helping. Sonny: Whatever you want to think about me, that--I-I--I'll take that. But I do love my son. Lulu: You love your son when it's convenient for you! You play on the need that he carries around just enough to keep him close. This is what you wanted. Are you happy? Sonny: No. No, I'm not happy. Olivia: Sonny. Sonny, it's time to get some air. Now. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: You made the right call. Delores: Glad you think so. I'm making no friends here. Shawn: It's more important to earn their respect. A lot of men have a hard time dealing with women in uniform. A lot of men have a hard time dealing with women, period. Delores: Hey! Watch where you're moving that car! Stay here. What are you doing? Shawn: Oh, I'm just...trying to piece together what happened here last night, reconstruct it in my head. Delores: Well, that's our job, not yours. Shawn: Right. Sorry, uh...old habits die hard. Delores: You've got sisters, right? Shawn: What makes you say that? Delores: Personal experience. Afghanistan? Shawn: Uh, yep. Kandahar, mostly, on the Pakistan border. A brother? Delores: A guy. Friend. 27th infantry. Wolfhounds. Was deployed to Helmand in '04. Shawn: Oh, that place is a real hellhole. Drug trade. Yeah, they use the opium to finance the purchase of their weapons. You know, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AKS. Delores: And poison the minds of western youth. Win-win. All he had left was 17 and a wake-up. Shawn: Yeah, sorry. [Police radio chatter] Shawn: It's okay if I use the restroom? Delores: Yeah. Sure. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: They held you down and shot you up. You didn't want it. Lucky: No, I didn't. But once it was in my system again, then I did. Look, when they shot me up, man, it was like it took me right back to that place I've been trying so hard to get away from for years. Mac: You could've come to me about this, you know. Why didn't you? Lucky: Because I was trying to figure out how to keep the door open for the next high, I guess. Look, Mac, I knew that if I came to you and I told you everything, you'd just take me off the case, and I'd already convinced myself that I was in the perfect position to take these guys down and that I could handle it. Mac: But you couldn't. Lucky: Obviously not. And then were was another time where, uh, I had to convince the dealer that I wasn't working undercover, so I had to take a pill in front of him to prove it. And then I just--I just kept taking more pills, and, uh, before I knew it, I had to lock myself in my own bathroom to keep from making a buy. Mac: So you were trying to stop. Lucky...you are trying to stop? Lucky: I can't make that promise right now. I mean, I was just on my hands and knees in my apartment, staring at two pills for hours. I mean, everything's just--it's just been a big lie, all my so-called heroics, my saving Elizabeth's life. I could just as easily have killed her. I'm done. I-I-I'm done with lying, and I just--I can't do it anymore. Especially when my partner is in the hospital, fighting for his life because of me...and my addiction. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Why do you think he was in that warehouse in the first place? Olivia: He was just doing his job. Lulu: No, he was off-duty. I called to find out where he was, and Ronnie said he wasn't working. Olivia: Oh. Well, you know, Jason's wedding would've been a perfect time for someone to start something up with Sonny. Maybe Dante just took the initiative and tried to stop something before it started. Lulu: When he saw my dress, he knew exactly what I had planned. It's from the proposal scene from his favorite opera, and he, um, he asked me what my answer was, and before I could say anything, the alarms go off and everyone rushes in, and... Olivia: Honey...he's gonna pull through this. Lulu: Yeah. Olivia: He is too strong and he loves you too much not to. [Lulu cries] Olivia: And then you can say yes, and you kids can start a beautiful life together. Okay? [Door opening] [SCENE_BREAK] Delores: Perimeter's looking good. Policeman: Okay. Delores: I say that we start here. Every square inch, every bag of coffee. Where's Mr. Marine? Shawn: I'm here. I found something you guys might want to see. Whoever it was that shot Dante, now we know what they were up to. In case you're wondering, it's still set to blow. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Lulu. Hey. Lulu: Dante was shot, and they're operating on him right now. Lucky: I know. I know. Mac came to tell me in person. Listen, he's gonna be okay. Lulu: Find out who did this. Lucky: I-I can't do that. [SCENE_BREAK] Olivia: John... Johnny: Hey. Olivia: You need to look me in the eye right now, and you need to tell me if you had anything to do with my son getting shot. And I'll know if you're lying because I know you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Well, there used to be, um...a boxcar here...and the city got rid of it a few years ago, saying it was a liability, a piece of trash, but...for me, it was a refuge. It was a place to come when nothing else make any sense. Sam: Wait. So this is where you lived after the accident? Jason: Yeah, I couldn't take it at the Quartermaines'. You know, I-I had a room there filled with somebody else's memories, and all I felt was...trapped. You know? And this place...I didn't feel that way here, you know? I had no rules. I had no expectations. It was just, uh...open space and sky. Sam: Stars as far as you can see. Jason: Yeah, and even before there were four walls and a bed here, I could, uh --I could always sleep here. Sam: That's because you felt at peace. Like you were safe. Jason: Yeah. Like I finally feel with you. Singer: There was a time I had nothing to give well, I needed shelter from the storm I was in when it all got too heavy you carried my weight and I want to hold you and I want to say that you are all that I need for you I give my soul to keep you see me love me just the way I am I said, for you I am a better man I said, you are the reason for everything that I do you see me love me just the way I am I said, for you I am a better man I said, you are the reason for everything that I do I'd be lost so lost without you no, no, no I'd be lost so lost without you
