Lucky, Maxie and Matt overhear the confrontation. Matt intervenes while Steven asks Robin to leave the premises. Lisa is crying. Patrick can't believe when Steven announces Robin's suspension.

Mac walks in, and Lucky tells him the latest. Lisa confides to Maya about Robin's outburst. Steven overhears Lisa badmouthing Robin. Patrick returns home to find Robin has packed her bags. Robin announces that she and Emma are moving into Mac's house. Jason and Dante are talking about Sonny when Carly walks in. Dante senses that the two know where Sonny went.

Carly mentions that Brenda is dating a celeb named Murphy Sinclair. Carly worries that the police will have no trouble finding Sonny in Rome. Jason calls Bernie just as Spinelli returns home. Dante shows up at Jason's doorstep. Dante suggests that he and Jason work together to prove Sonny's innocence. Spinelli is busy tracking down information from the Baker Street shooting.

Sonny: Thank you for your wisdom. Woman: I hope you take my advice under consideration. You might be happy if you did. Buona fortuna. Take care. Sonny: You, too. Singer: Sinking, I'm sinking fast, in your eyes, the memory's there, waking up this heart of mine, this crazy love, it's you and I, can you see this was meant to be, so far from where we've been, we'll carry on, the ties that never end will bring us home again the distance, so far and wide... Sonny: I don't mean to be rude, but that's my magazine. Man: I'm sorry. Sonny: No, that's okay. Singer: You're by my side... waking up this heart of mine, this crazy love, it's you and I, can you see this was meant to be, so far from where we've been, we'll carry on the ties that never end... Fan: Brenda Barrett! Autografo, per favore. Singer: Will bring us home again [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: [Gasping] Ohh! Oh, my baby. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: What are you doing in here? I'm doing this procedure with Dr. Trydal. Lisa: He had a conflict. Patrick: Well, I'm not operating with you, Lisa. I don't want you anywhere near me. Lisa: Okay, we have a patient waiting. He's depending on us to save his shoulder. Isn't that reason enough for us to put our little drama aside until we're on our own time? Doesn't the patient's well-being come first? Patrick: That's exactly what I'm concerned about. Lisa: Are you saying that you don't trust me as a doctor? After all of the procedures that we've done together. Patrick: I don't trust you as a person, Lisa. Lisa: All right, well, I'm sorry to hear that. Look, if Dr. Trydal's not available, I'll talk to Steve and get someone else. Lisa: Okay, we don't have time. Whatever happened to Patrick Drake, rock star surgeon, up for any challenge? Patrick: I won't be able to focus on the patient if you're in the room. Lisa: And why is that? Patrick: Because of all the things you've done. Lisa: [Laughs] Like sleeping with you? Because I'm sure that you've operated with plenty of women who you've bedded, and not all of them could have ended happily. Patrick: This is different. And you know it. Lisa: For God's sakes, Patrick. Can you just give it a rest? Patrick: You planned this, didn't you? You somehow got Dr. Trydal to be busy so you could come in here and replace him. Lisa: Wow. You paranoid much? Patrick: You denying it? Lisa: It's not even worth denying. All right, so you don't like me right now. So what? Being a professional is putting your feelings on hold and doing what needs to get done. If you can't do that, you should hang up your scalpel. Otherwise, get over it. 'Cause I have. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Look, Ali, I'm sorry. Ali: It's okay. Well, come on. Everyone's waiting for us in the pool, and I need a partner. Michael: I can't. Sorry. Ali: Well, sure, you can. I've got lots of experience with water fights, and we'll kick their butts. Michael: Ali, just leave me alone. Okay? Kristina: Michael's a great swimmer. He's just, um, trying to help me. It's our brother's birthday, and I'm scrambling for gift ideas, and I need a guy's opinion while he's here. Ali: I thought you said Morgan's birthday was next month. Kristina: Uh... Michael: Look, Kristina's just trying to cover for me. I don't know if you noticed, but I'm actually wearing an ankle monitor. It's part of my parole and I'm just a little self-conscious about it, so... Ali: Don't be. I think it's pretty cool. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Why is it suddenly on me to prove Sonny's guilt or innocence? Dante: Everything I've got tells me that Sonny's lying. Look, I have to operate under certain constraints, but you have no limits, okay, and you got Spinelli. Get him on this case. Find the gun. Find a witness. Give me something I can use to exonerate Sonny-- Carly: I can't tell you how crazy it makes me knowing Sonny is off-- Dante: Sonny's off with who? Well, don't stop on my account. Sonny's off with someone? Carly: I was talking to Jason, not you. Dante: Yeah, but you know where he is, don't you? Carly: I got a pretty good idea. Dante: And you have this information and now you just don't know what the hell to do with it. Jason: Sonny didn't tell us anything. Dante: Why don't you share the pretty good idea you have on his whereabouts? Carly: What would you do if I did? Jason: Carly. Dante: I'd track him down and bring him in. Carly: I'm not gonna help you put Sonny in prison. Sonny may deserve it, but his kids don't. [SCENE_BREAK] Fan: Giovanni and Carlo. One more, please. Per favore. Grazie. Brenda: What-- Sonny: Let her go. Let her go. I'll take your head off. Let her go. Put your gun down right now. Put it down. You, too. Put it down right now. Put the gun-- [Dog barks] Carlo: Go! [Door opens] [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: Hi. Oh, thank God. Thank God you're okay. Daycare supervisor: Robin, is there a problem? Robin: Uh, no, no. I was just, um, a little worried about something. Was Dr. Niles in here? Daycare supervisor: Not that I know of. Robin: Well, someone took Emma's little puppy. Do you know who that was? Daycare supervisor: But it was on the shelf by the door. I thought you took it. I'm sorry. Robin: We're very clear on Emma's instructions, right? No one except family is allowed to take her out of here except myself or Patrick. Right? Daycare supervisor: Of course. Robin: Okay. Thank you. Hey. Lisa's not going to hurt you. Mommy promises, okay? [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: The patient's about to be wheeled in. That's the only reason why I'm gonna let you do this, but it's not gonna happen again. Lisa: Okay. How magnanimous. Patrick: Tomorrow I'm going to sit down with Steve. We're gonna figure out a surgical rotation to keep us away from each other. Lisa: Fine. Patrick: Good. Steve: Change of plans. They want to hold off on surgery so they can get another opinion. He's stable enough to wait, so I gave them the okay. Lisa: Okay, well, Patrick and I both agree that we can and we should do the surgery right away. Steve: They want to fly in their own specialist. It's their call. Patrick: I think it's a very good call. If they still want me to do the surgery, I'll do it with Dr. Trydal, but I'm not doing it with Lisa. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Hey. Is Dr. Hunter around? Maya: He's finishing up with a patient. He'll be out in a few minutes. Maxie: Okay. I'll wait over there. Hi. Spinelli: Hi. Maxie: Are you here for a checkup? Spinelli: Yes, exactly so. I was, um... gauging the condition of my once shredded Achilles tendon. Maxie: Oh. I hope it's okay. Spinelli: Perfectly healed. Um, I...appreciate your concern. Maxie: Good. Um, the city really should put up signs on how dangerous it is to walk around in those storm drains. Spinelli: Well, my--my injury was minor compared to the danger I put you in. So... Maxie: Spinelli, I'm fine. Spinelli: I duped you into searching for a non-existent serial killer, and you were exposed to a near lethal bout of sepsis. Maxie: But the dry-cleaner was able to fix my jacket. Spinelli: You're being far too kind. I mean, you must... you must be relieved to be... finished with such foolish undertakings. Maxie: Spinelli, no. Not at all. Our relationship was... so wonderful and sweet. I mean, you were the best non-husband I could have ever asked for. I honestly don't think I would be doing as well at my job if it wasn't for you. I mean, you gave me the confidence to follow my dreams, and...you showed me what real love is. It's meant a lot to me. Spinelli: And you changed my life also, in ways that I can never repay. Maxie: You know that you'll always be special to me, right? Spinelli: Likewise. Okay. [Maxie and Matt talking indistinctly] [Maxie laughing] [Matt talking indistinctly] [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Look, I was in prison for killing my stepmother. Ali: I know what happened. It was all over the news. But you're not a criminal. You're a hero for saving your mom and your baby sister. Michael: Thanks, but you don't get it. Ali: Well, what's to get? Your ankle monitor's nothing to be ashamed of. Come on, we'll have fun. Michael: Okay, look, I can't get into a water fight because if someone gets hurt, I can be in a lot of trouble. So--so I'm sorry, but no. Ali: I didn't realize it was like that. Michael: I appreciate you asking. Ali: It's fine. Honest. Kristina: Are you sure you're okay? Michael: I feel like a jerk. Ali's just trying to be nice. I should have handled it a lot better than I did. Kristina: She was trying to take your shirt off. It looked like you were going to be sick. That's kind of how I feel when a guy touches me. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Sonny made the choice to run. He set this in motion, not me. Carly: Maybe he felt like he had no choice. Dante: He pulled the trigger on Johnny. Carly: What is this? Is this guilty till proven innocent? Sonny's already convicted of murder and he hasn't even been tried? Dante: Johnny claims he was unarmed. Carly: Okay, I like Johnny, he's a nice guy, but he has his share of enemies. Do you think he's stupid enough to walk around the city unarmed? Dante: Probably not. Carly: Right. So do your job and exonerate Sonny. Dante: If Sonny didn't do this and you're right, then why would he run? Carly: God, I was so tempted to tell him where Sonny is. Jason: Why would you even say that? I don't care how mad you are at Sonny, you do not want him in prison. Carly: He might be better off there than with Brenda. [SCENE_BREAK] Matt: How about Thai? We could go to the Bangkok Palace over on Fifth or get some Chinese. I could totally go for some kung pao. Or there's the, uh... Papua New Guinea place on main. Maxie: I'm sorry. I, uh, just ran into Spinelli. Matt: Oh. Do you miss him? Maxie: Sometimes. It just-- it felt awkward. Which is weird because we're usually so comfortable with each other. I know that Spinelli's always going to have a special place in my heart. Matt: Yeah. Maybe you want to run back to him. Maxie: It's not like that. Matt: Well, you were using me to test his love. And you only had sex with me out of gratitude for saving your father's life. Maxie: Well, I was also kind of hot for you. Matt: Well, the feeling was mutual. It still is. I just thought we were getting to a place that was more about, you know, you and me. Maxie: We did. We...are. Matt: I just want honesty, Maxie, that's all. If Spinelli is still in the picture, that's information I'd like to know. Maxie: Honestly, I just feel guilty. I feel like I've hurt Spinelli and he's not getting over it. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Hey, Maya. Maya: Hi. Lucky: Is Johnny Zacchara still in his room? I have a few more questions for him. Maya: He's getting MRIs. Lucky: Okay. Maya: Why don't you just come back in the morning? You must be exhausted. Lucky: Why? Do I look it? Maya: Lucky, you were here at 7 A.M. for the robbery victim in E.R., then 2 P.M. to pick up autopsy forms, now you're pulling a night shift? Lucky: Okay, I confess. With my kids out of town, I, uh, have way too much time on my hands. Nothing to fill it with but work. But, look, you've been here this whole time, so you're overworking, too. Maya: I don't know. I--I guess they like interns to be in a state of permanent exhaustion. Lucky: Shouldn't you be out and about with my fast-talking brother? Maya: Ethan and I are not a couple. We had a drink or two. But other than that-- Lucky: And a dance. Maya: Okay, look, I haven't talked to Ethan today, so I don't know where he is or what he's doing, so--you are reading way too much into it. Lucky: What's that quote about protesting too much? [SCENE_BREAK] Lisa: If Patrick doesn't want to work with me, fine. I just hope that our patients don't suffer because of it. Steve: Patrick. You and Lisa make a great surgical team. Patrick: Well, it's never gonna happen. I would love to get Lisa to resign. Ever since that car accident, I can't push very hard because she can make Robin's life a legal nightmare. Steve: Well, she's certainly making a good show of being professional. Patrick: Oh, yeah, she's all cool and calm and collected, but trust me, Chief, she's fallen off the rails. Robin: You stay away from my daughter, you psycho bitch! [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I just get these memories of prison, you know, always being on guard, ready to protect myself from inmates trying to pick fights. Then it's like when somebody moves too fast or something, I just-- I just jump for no reason. Kristina: I'm sorry you had to go through that, Michael. Michael: Well, it's over now. I'm supposed to just move on with my life. But I just can't wrap my head around going back to Madison. Kristina: I guess it's selfish of me to try to push you into it. Michael: You'll be better off there without me, anyways. I mean, you always had friends at Madison. I never did. Kristina: You can make friends. Michael: Yeah. A convicted felon, the kid everybody wants at the parties. Kristina: I'll make them invite you to parties. They could use a bouncer. I'll tell my friends, at least the ones that I have left, that they have to accept both of us. Michael: Look, I love you for trying, Krissy, but... it won't work. Kristina: I guess you have to do what's best for you. But I'm gonna miss you, so much. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: You would never turn Sonny in, even to him away from Brenda. Carly: Sonny is swinging a wrecking ball at everyone's life, including his own. He's begging to get caught. Brenda is a famous model, and now she's dating Murphy Sinclair. Jason: Who's that? Carly: Of course you don't know. He's a famous movie star. The point is, Sonny is stupid for going after Brenda. Jason: You're not gonna give him up? Carly: No, Jason, I'm not, but someone will. And when Sonny's world comes crashing down, it's gonna be his fault and his fault only. [SCENE_BREAK] Murphy: Hey. Suzanne: I got your message. What happened? Murphy: Brenda's gone. Suzanne: All right, start at the top. Murphy: Um, she and I had a fight. And then I came storming out, I was running out through the garden over here and a couple guys grabbed me. And at first I thought it was a joke, 'cause, you know, this director that I'm working with does that sometimes to try and get actors in the right mindset or whatever. But these guys were trying to push me into the van, and one of the guys' guns went off. Shot a real bullet. Suzanne: Well, how'd you get away? Murphy: I don't know. They let me go. And then I came back here and the first thing that I saw was Brenda. She's standing here hand in hand with some guy who's got a gun on two other men. Suzanne: Was she struggling? Murphy: No. She wasn't. I mean, she and this man, they went running off together. [SCENE_BREAK] Brenda: Whoo! Sonny: We should be all right here. Nobody followed us. I paid the desk clerk extra so he'll forget what we look like. Brenda: Okay. Sonny: I thought the days of you being kidnapped and threatened were over. Brenda: Yeah, me, too. Sonny: So who--who are those guys? Who sent them after you? Brenda: Uh, Interpol thinks that some criminals are... sorry, I can't believe you're standing in front of me right now. Sonny: It looks like I finally got the timing right. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Robin, don't. Hey. Robin: You psychotic freak. What kind of a monster targets an innocent little girl? First you screw my husband and then you threaten my daughter? Do you even know how sick you are? You know what? I dare you, I dare you to touch my daughter. I will kill you before you lay a finger on her. Patrick: That's enough. Stop. What is going on? Robin: Lisa put one of Emma's toys in a flask and boiled it in my lab. P.A.: Dr. Quartermaine to the E.R., Dr. Monica Quartermaine to the E.R. Steve: Is that true? Lisa: I have no idea what she's talking about. Robin: You know damn well what I'm talking about. You're making threats against my daughter, you bitch. Lisa: Didn't I tell you that she was like this? Robin: You know what? No one is buying your "innocent" crap. First you kidnap my daughter, and then you boil her toys? It's sick. Lisa: Someone is sick, but it's not me. I was in the scrub room with you this whole time, wasn't I? [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Maxie, can you just stay here and don't touch anything? I don't want you to contaminate any of the evidence. Maxie: Oh, my God. What a whack job. Lisa boiled one of Emma's toys right where Robin would find it. That's sick and twisted. Lucky: Yeah, it is. Maxie: I mean, it's bad enough that Lisa seduced Patrick, but now she's trying to drive Robin crazy. You have to arrest her. Lucky: We need to eliminate Robin as a suspect first. [SCENE_BREAK] Kristina: So what are you going to do if you don't go back to Madison? Michael: I'd like to just drop out, but I know mom and Jax wouldn't have that. Kristina: What's the alternative? Michael: Home-schooling, I guess. And also those online schools. Kristina: I know you feel like your whole life is a mess and it'll never be fixed, but-- Michael: Kristina, please don't tell me everything is going to work out okay. Please. Kristina: Are you kidding? After all the times I've had to listen to that? Carly: Hey. Michael: Hey. Carly: How you guys doing? Michael: All right. Carly: I see there's some friends here from school. You guys having fun? Michael: Sure. Yeah. Kristina: We're just taking a break. Carly: I'm really thirsty, Michael. Would you mind getting me an iced tea? Michael: Okay. Carly: How are you doing? You guys were having a pretty intense conversation when I walked up. Everything okay? Kristina: My friend Ali tried to pull him into a water fight, and he just had a bad reaction. Carly: Did he fly into a big rage? Kristina: It wasn't like that. He just flinched. And then apologized. But I know how he feels. Like no matter what you do or how much time passes, you'll never be normal again. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Yeah, Bernie, listen, I need you to check our contacts, see if Sonny's been in touch with any of our associates in Rome. Yeah, just be discreet. Okay, thanks. Spinelli: The Jackal shall attempt to access any and all security footage revealing Baker Street on the eve the mob prince was-- Jason: I like it when you're one step ahead of me, Spinelli. [Knock on door] Jason: We're working on it. Dante: So I was thinking maybe you could bring up some social networking sites? I figured since we're all on the same side for this one, maybe we can all work together. [SCENE_BREAK] Murphy: She's not answering. Suzanne: Well, she probably doesn't have her cell. Murphy: I'm calling Interpol. I'm gonna talk to the agent. I'm gonna tell him what's going on here. Suzanne: Bad idea. Murphy: Suzanne, Brenda's in danger. Suzanne: You said she went with this guy voluntarily. Murphy: Yeah, but these guys are still after her. I'm sure they're connected with the guys who grabbed me. Suzanne: And she and this man got away. Murphy: Yeah, if they catch her they could kill her. Suzanne: And if Interpol gets to her instead, who do you think she's gonna want to kill? Murphy: I don't give a damn. I just want her to be safe. Suzanne: Well, then we just have to wait until we hear from her. Murphy: That makes no sense. Suzanne: Murphy, this is Brenda we're talking about. If we call Interpol and they come swooping in here, she's just gonna be pissed as hell. She'll refuse security, and then she'll be in even more jeopardy. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Robin says she saw you in Africa. Brenda: Uh, yeah, I work for this organization. It's called A.S.E.C. We work with-- Sonny: You visit kids who have nothing. You give them help and media exposure. Brenda: Yeah. I'm so crazy, I'm walking through this hotel room and I hear Robin's voice in Africa. Then I didn't really get to talk to her for very long because my people came and dragged me out to go do some publicity thing. I spent the last 8 years of my life in a hotel room. I'm always running. There never seems to be time for anything else. Sonny: Robin said you asked about me. Brenda: Uh, well, she actually insisted on giving me your email and your cell, so... Sonny: Yeah. She gave me-- she gave me your cell, email... Brenda: She did? Sonny: So, did she have your permission? Brenda: I don't even remember. It was so...fast. Everything happened so fast. My partner Suzanne--she's my partner in A.S.E.C.--she was rushing me out 'cause we were running late, so... Sonny: You were running late? That's--I can't believe that. Brenda: I'm actually better at being on time now. I am. Sonny: Maybe people are more patient with you showing up late than I was. Brenda: Oh, maybe. Yeah. Sonny: So who were those men? Brenda: Uh...uh, Interpol thinks that, uh, some guy named Balkan is supposedly after me. Sonny: Okay. I--I've never done business with Balkan, but I hear he's very dangerous. If Interpol knows that you're a target, do they know why he's coming after you? Brenda: Sure, yeah. Because of the work that I do with these kids, you know. I shut down these big shots who exploit children, so I'm sure he has something to do with that. Sonny: Why are you out here alone? I don't get that. Brenda: What do you mean, alone? Sonny: Well, if Interpol-- Brenda: You know I don't like guards. You know that better than anyone. Sonny: Yeah, but I'm just-- I don't want to get back into this whole thing again. Brenda: I'm sorry, are you gonna give me a lecture? We haven't seen each other in 8 years. Is this lecture time, about why I should have guards around me? Sonny: What if I hadn't been there? Brenda: You were. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: We were scrubbing up the last 20 minutes, but I have no idea where you were before that. Robin: I'll tell you where she was. She snuck down to daycare, took Emma's toy, and left it boiling in the lab. Lisa: Do you have any witnesses? Robin: Of course not, because you made sure no one saw you. Lisa: Okay, Robin, the only ones who have access to your daughter's toys are you and Patrick. I'm sorry, this is clearly a woman who is hysterical because she was cheated on, and she's desperately trying to get her husband's attention. Robin: You know what? You can spread your legs as much as you want, but stay away from my child. Matt: All right, that's-- everyone calm down. People, get back to work. Robin: You took my daughter from our house, you threw yourself in front of my car, and, God, I wish I had broken every single bone in your body. Patrick: Robin, that's enough. Stop it. Lisa: Yeah, I think I could use some help here. Steve: I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. Patrick: Are you kidding me? You're gonna take Lisa's side? Steve: It's not a matter of taking sides. She's caused a serious disruption. Patrick: She kidnapped our daughter. Lisa: I didn't do any of that. Robin: Just shut up! Shut up! Steve: Stop! Robin: Shut up! Steve: Just knock it off. I'm gonna have to suspend you, pending further investigation. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: That is a horrible thing to say. Robin would never take her own child's toy and boil it like a crazy person. Lucky: I'm not saying that Robin is guilty, okay? I've known her most of my whole life and she would never do something like this. But Lisa Niles is carefully gaslighting Robin. Maxie: Then go arrest her. Lucky: Maxie, there's a difference between what I think and what I can prove. Mac: Hey. What the hell's going on? Where's Robin? Lucky: She's probably out front with Patrick. I just wanted you to get here as soon as you could. Maxie: Lisa Niles is a crazy person. She took Emma's toy and boiled it for Robin to find. Mac: Oh, my God. Where's Lisa now? Lucky: She's upstairs. Robin confronted her. It wasn't pretty. And she actually assaulted her, Mac. And Lisa denied everything. Mac: All right, all right, look, I want a full forensic sweep of this lab. Lisa probably wore gloves, but we might find a strand of her hair or DNA or some other piece of evidence. Lucky: Well, if we do that, she could make the argument that she'd been here before on work related matters. But we need to think of something fast. We need to figure out what's going on, because Robin's unraveling. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Here you go, an iced tea. Carly: Thank you. Michael: Okay. Kristina: Well, I better get going. I told Molly I'd bake cookies with her. But we'll talk later? Michael: Yeah, sure thing. Kristina: Okay. Bye. Carly: Bye. Michael: So I'm guessing that Krissy filled you in. Carly: Well...I asked her why you seem so withdrawn, and she told me that a friend of hers tried to pull you into the water and... it's okay if you don't feel comfortable talking to me about it, you know. Michael: I'm just not the normal teenager who can have water fights at a country club. Any more than I go back to Madison and apply for Ivy League schools. Carly: Listen, you come straight home after school and we find after-school activities for you. Michael: I can't stand the kids there. Carly: Okay. I didn't go to a fancy high school either, but I can--I can put you in pc high. Michael: Mom, I don't want to go back to high school. Carly: You have to have a high school diploma, Michael. You have to graduate. Michael: Don't you get it? I killed somebody. I spent time in prison. There's no way I can ever go back to the person that I was. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Check out the corner store on Baker and Second. Bring up anybody who might have charged something in the 20 minutes before the shootout. Spinelli: You know such an endeavor would require the Jackal to hack into private mainframes, and that would be a detestable, loathsome violation of the law. Dante: Yes, it would, but I can't do it, and what you do while I'm on the phone talking to my girlfriend, I don't know about. Capisce? Spinelli: Jackal capisces. Jason: Why are you so eager to help? Dante: If Sonny's innocent, I want to find out the truth. Jason: How do I know you're not gonna bust us? Dante: You don't. But I had to trust you, so maybe you can try trusting me this time? I want the truth for Michael's sake. [SCENE_BREAK] Brenda: Why were you outside my hotel? Sonny: I...I wanted to see you. Brenda: Why didn't you call me? Sonny: I tried, but your line was busy. Brenda: When did you try calling me? Today? Sonny: No. It was a couple of weeks ago. Brenda: A couple of weeks ago. You tried calling me once and I didn't answer. And then, what, you decided you should jump on a plane to Rome, to just-- Sonny: It's a little more complicated. Brenda: Of course. Everything's complicated with you. Sonny: But that's why we made such a good fit, 'cause you like complicated. Brenda: I do? No, I used to. I used to. Sonny: I'll tell you the truth. Robin told me she saw you in Africa, and I started remembering old times. Like, you know, when I first met you on the docks and I grabbed your suitcase and I introduced myself. That's pretty much that. Brenda: I should have kept walking that day. Sonny: Well, you could have kept walking, but I would have found you eventually, 'cause, uh, you had me hooked and you knew it. Brenda: What else do you remember? Sonny: Uh, you know, like, uh... when we tried living together and you used to get up in the morning and do sit-ups. Brenda: Ha ha ha ha! Sonny: Sit-ups. Brenda: Sit-ups? Ha ha ha ha! Sonny: Right? Brenda: Yes. Sonny: And then you said you wanted to build a, you know, a fantasy home made out of all wood and glass and... Brenda: I can't believe you remember that. Sonny: Our last unmarried date. You wore that red dress, and you had the flower in your hair. The way you'd drive me crazy and break my heart and make me the happiest man alive. I used to love, you know, the way you you kind of...I mean, the way you would look at me, and you'd smile. But then, you know, I'd say to myself, that was, you know, a long time ago. Those were just memories. And you went your way, I went my way. So I needed to come to Rome to just know what it would feel like...to see you again. Brenda: What does it feel like? [SCENE_BREAK] Lisa: I finished updating Mrs. Pyne's chart. Will you copy Dr. Hamill on all the updated numbers? Maya: Yeah, sure. Lisa: I'm sorry about all the fireworks earlier. Maya: No need for apologies. Honestly, I am no stranger to drama in the workplace. Lisa: I guess some women just can't handle jealousy. Patrick and I slept together, but it's not something that I'm proud of. But Robin's reaction...wow. Maya: A wife has the right to be upset if her husband cheats. Lisa: That's true. You know, um, I have to admit that if the roles were reversed and Patrick cheated on me with Robin, well, I might be driven to do something rash, too. [SCENE_BREAK] [Door opens] [Footsteps] Patrick: Robin. Don't do this. Look, I believe you. I know, Lisa's acting crazy. Robin: I don't care who you believe. My daughter isn't safe in this house. I'm leaving. Patrick: We'll get new locks. We'll get security at daycare. Just don't walk out. Robin: Emma and I are moving into Uncle Mac's house. [SCENE_BREAK] Spinelli: The Jackal has determined that these 8 people were in the area of baker and second at the approximate time of the mob prince's shooting. Dante: Thanks. This is something to go on. How about some security footage? Spinelli: I've conducted a thorough search, and alas, there's nothing to be found. All security cameras in the vicinity have already dumped their footage, which is common practice after 48 hours, so our window of opportunity has been closed. Dante: Yeah. Then we gotta go with these. Shall we check out these names tomorrow? Jason: What, we worked together on the Franco thing, now we work together all the time? Dante: Nothing's gonna get resolved until we come up with a witness. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: I figured I'd watch you for a while and see if, you know, you were happy. And then go away. Brenda: So if those guys hadn't shown up, those bad guys, I wouldn't have seen you at all? Sonny: Well, I mean, you know, you knew how to reach me even before Robin gave you the cell number. You knew how to contact me. I just thought that maybe you wanted distance. Brenda: You know, I've been walking around with your number on a post-it. Remember post-its? I've been carrying it around in this old datebook. No more datebooks. I tried to call you. I tried to call you, too, a couple of weeks ago. Do you think maybe we were trying to call each other at the same time? You know, like, what's that? Uh, serendipity? Sonny: I don't know. Anything's possible. Singer: Can't you see this was meant to be Brenda: Yeah? You really think anything's possible? Singer: ...Where we've been, we'll carry on, the ties that never end will bring us home again
