Anna tells Jordan that they may never see each other again because the Justice Department has called her to DC to account for her actions with Faison. Jordan wants to get out of her rogue undercover operation. Shawn researches Bill Eckert on the Internet. Carly wants to know what he is so interested in. He won't let her get involved. She wants to know how Sonny is. He tells her that Sonny wants her to get over him and move on with her life. She doesn't want to. Alexis serves Shawn with a restraining order and accuses him of stalking Michael. Carly concludes that Shawn must have been keeping an eye on Michael for Sonny. Sonny calls Michael to warn him about Fluke and tell him to stay away from the house on Elm Street. Michael isn't interested in anything Sonny has to say. Julian tells Sonny that if Michael confronts Fluke, then Fluke will know that they are onto him. Michael immediately tells "Luke" about the call and that Shawn broke into the house on Elm Street the other day and was trying to break into the basement when Michael arrived. Tracy wonders why "Luke" is so upset about Shawn going into the basement if nothing is down there. "Luke" says they should board up the house because no one needs to be in there, especially not in the basement, not even Michael. He says it isn't safe. He says Michael should build the clinic elsewhere. Michael says they aren't going to use the house; they are going to build a new structure on the property. He tells Luke that if he has sentimental reasons to keep the house standing, he should just say so. Tracy tells Luke that he will have his memories of that house whether it is still standing or not. "Luke" says it isn't up to him or to Michael; it is up to Bill Eckert. Tracy says Bill's son, Sly, is the de facto owner. "Luke" presumes that it will be tied up in probate for months. Tracy presumes that it will cost ELQ a boatload of money and concludes that Luke is probably right that Michael should build his clinic elsewhere. Sonny calls Shawn and tells him to look into the possibility that Bill Eckert isn't dead. Fluke calls the phone that Sonny acquired from Fluke's lackey and threatens Michael and Lucas. Sam notices that her phoenix figurine is missing. It is next to Jake, who is face down in the snow, unconscious, with a gash on his head. Elizabeth thinks about Jake telling her that he can't be her friend because he would always want more and it would get complicated. Lucas tells Elizabeth that he took a job at the clinic that Michael is opening. Elizabeth thinks she should put in some time at the clinic too. Lucas treats Jake when paramedics bring him to the emergency room. He orders a consultation to see if Jake's confusion is related to his existing Traumatic Brain Injury. Elizabeth calls Carly to tell her about Jake. Carly rushes to the hospital. Jake doesn't remember anything between talking to Elizabeth on the dock and being awakened by a cop. A memory of the figurine comes to him. Carly looks in his duffel bag to see if the figurine is inside. She finds his gun. Sam walks right past the figurine on the ground on the dock without seeing it.
Sam: Ooh. Morning, Doctor. Patrick: Oh. Are you awake? Sam: [Giggles] Patrick: So sorry about that. Sam: Are you really? Patrick: Not...at all. Sam: No? You sleep okay? Like the dead. Sam: Yeah? Patrick: Although, in this moment right now... Sam: What? Patrick: I'm very much alive. Sam: Oh, good. [Footsteps approaching] Man: Let's go, buddy. Rise and shine. Hey. I said, let's move it. Let's go. Jason: [Grunting] No. Don't -- don't touch me... What're you doing? If we spend time together, I don't think I'm gonna be able to stop myself from wanting more. And even if we try to just be friends... I imagine it'll get pretty complicated, and that's not good for you. It's not good for me. Lucas: Earth to Elizabeth. Elizabeth: Hi! Lucas: Hello. Elizabeth: Sorry, Lucas. I mean, Dr. Jones. Lucas: Oh. Well, every time somebody says that, I want to say, "that belongs in a museum" or "why'd it have to be snakes?" Elizabeth: [Laughs] I like a colleague who appreciates adventure films. Lucas: Well, thank you, but don't get too used to seeing me around here. I took another job. Elizabeth: What? At another hospital? I don't know what Obrecht's gonna have to say about that. Lucas: Well, I think it should be fine. I'm gonna be splitting my time between here and the clinic Michael's building. Michael: Sorry for dragging you away from Ned. Alexis: Oh, don't worry about it. He was reminiscing about his days as Eddie Maine, and I was having a traumatic flashback of me having this attention on the internet. And I knew that you wanted this all squared away. Michael: Yeah, and are we squared away? Alexis: Yeah. The judge has signed off on the restraining order, so all that's left is for someone to serve it. Michael: Okay. And this process server -- Alexis: And it's gonna be me. Michael: Okay. And what happens after that? Alexis: That means that Shawn butler can't come anywhere near you or the old Spencer house on Elm Street. Michael: Okay, good. The sooner I have Sonny's bulldog off my back, the better. Carly: What are you so interested in? Tracy: Excuse me. Ha! Who are you so busy texting that you can't give your wife a proper good morning? [Cell phone beeps] Alexis: So don't worry. I'm gonna take care of everything. Michael: Okay. Thank you. Alexis: You're welcome. [Cell phone ringing] Michael: Hello? Sonny: Hello? Michael? It's your father. N Lucas: Well, Michael's my nephew and the C.E.O. Of the ELQ, which means the project is gonna be very well funded. Elizabeth: Mm-hmm. Lucas: He wants to bring free medical care to the people at my mom's old neighborhood. And all the stars were aligning, so how could I possibly say no? Elizabeth: Good for you. I'm glad you're getting involved. Lucas: Aw, shucks. Elizabeth: Maybe I can put in some time there, too. Be a welcome change from Stalag G.H. Lucas: Michael hasn't even closed on the property yet, let alone broken ground, which is totally fine with me, because I'm still having trouble getting up before 9:00 A.M. To get to work on time. Elizabeth: Oh, poor baby. I'd play my teeny tiny violin for you, but Obrecht confiscated it. Lucas: What? Elizabeth: [Chuckles] Lucas: Well, that's just another great reason to work someplace besides here, if I can handle juggling two jobs. Elizabeth: You'll be fine. You were born to be a doctor. Lucas: You sound like my mother. Elizabeth: And you have brad, right? Lucas: Oh. I didn't think you liked him, though. Elizabeth: I don't, but lucky me, I don't have to. And you have the love and support of your family. Lucas: Mm. Everybody but my sister. Elizabeth: What? What do you -- don't tell me Carly disapproves of you being a doctor. Lucas: No, no. In fact, she's the main reason why I gave in and decided to give medicine another try. It's just that she doesn't know yet that Michael offered me the position. Elizabeth: Why didn't you tell her? Is it 'cause the clinic is in AJ's name? I mean, I know they've had their issues, but it's such a good cause. Lucas: It has nothing to do with Carly's issues with AJ And everything to do with her issues with Michael. Carly: Whoa. What's the big deal? Why can't I see? Shawn: Well, you know, I could show you, but, uh, I'd have to kill you. Carly: You know, some people would say that joke never gets old. They would be wrong. Shawn: Yeah. Who's joking? Carly: Okay. Let me guess. You were watching an episode of "Southwest General." You were, weren't you. You can admit it. Tell me the truth. Shawn: I'm working, Carly. Okay? Not that it's any of your business. Carly: Working. Wow. Classic Sonny. Even being locked up in Pentonville, he is able to bring the coffee beans home, huh? Shawn: Is there something you want? And by "something," I mean breakfast...? Carly: I was married to Sonny four times, Shawn. I know how the organization works. Duke may be running the day-to-day, but Sonny's still calling the shots. Shawn: And what is it that you want to know, exactly? Carly: I want to know what Sonny has you working on? Sonny: Michael, you there? Sorry about the connection. It's -- it's your father. Michael: You have the wrong number. My father's dead. Sonny: Michael, please -- Michael: Maybe you heard of him -- AJ Quartermaine? He was murdered. So whoever you are... you have the wrong person, 'cause I'm not your son. Sonny: Don't hang up. Michael: Where's the recording? When I was inside, there was always a recording. That hasn't changed, unless someone smuggled in a phone. Sonny: It doesn't matter how I got the call, okay? Listen to me. I need to talk to you. Michael: I'm hanging up. Sonny: Don't hang up, Michael. Michael: Goodbye, Sonny. Don't call me again. Sonny: I have to talk to you about Luke. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: You have been tap tap tapping away on that little piece of plastic all morning. How scintillating could your e-conversation possibly be? [Cell phone beeps] Fluke: I'm sorry, darling. But I'm in the fight of my life here with Scorpio. He just won 60 points in "words with friends" using "Sheilas." Now, I ask you, where in the world is that a word, outside of woolloomooloo? [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: [Sighs] I'm so sorry. Patrick: What're you sorry about? Sam: I just -- I should've trusted myself and you. I should've never made us wait so long to be together like this. Patrick: Yeah, what were you thinking being all cautious and careful and thinking what's best for yourself? You should've -- you should've asked what was good for me. Sam: Yeah, that's right. Patrick: You should've asked yourself, "What does Dr. Drake need?" Sam: Thank you so much for making me realize that I'm a horrible person. Patrick: That's all right. Sam: You, my friend -- you have just opened my eyes. Mm. Patrick: Could've waited a lot longer for that -- for this. Sam: Waited? A lot longer? Sam: I don't know about that. Patrick: Only because it was so worth it. Sam: Okay. So, you're telling me that if I made you wait -- I don't know -- like three or four months... Patrick: Minutes. Three or four minutes. Sam: Seconds. Patrick: Seconds. Sam: Okay. Patrick: I got to go to work. Sam: No. Patrick: Mm-hmm. Sam: No. Patrick: I do. Sam: No, no, no, no, no. You're not pulling that whole doctor card on me right now. Patrick: Young lady, you knew what you got into with me when you started. Sam: [Groans] Patrick: I'm a working man. Sam: I know. Patrick: Besides, you don't want me around here when Monica brings Danny back. Sam: Oh. I'm not even sure she'd ever bring Danny back. Patrick: She likes being a Grandma, huh? Sam: She loves it. And she's lonely, and all of her kids are gone, and Danny reminds her of Jason, so... ugh. Fine. I guess I got to let you go. Patrick: I got to go. Sam: Will you have breakfast with me? Patrick: Yeah. Sam: Yeah? Patrick: You want to have breakfast? I just got to check on Emma and get ready for work. Where'd I put my phone? Do you know where I put it? Sam: I don't know. Here. You can use mine. Patrick: What? Sam: My phoenix is gone. [SCENE_BREAK] Officer: What's the matter with him? Jason: No, no... EMT: Exposure, hypothermia... we'll know more once we get him to the hospital. Jason: Sam... EMT: Sir, try to stop talking. Let's roll. Grab that, will you? EMT: Got it. [SCENE_BREAK] Jordan: What are you doing here? Anna: We didn't have time to make a rendezvous appointment, and we need to talk. Jordan: Well, you're the one who insisted that I stay undercover. Now you're risking it by meeting in a public place? Why? What could be so important that you have to say it to me face to face? Anna: I think you have a right to know... that, um... this could be the last time you ever see me. Carly: Just tell me -- what is Sonny into? Shawn: I wouldn't know. Carly: You wouldn't know because Sonny told you to shut me out. Shawn: Look, Sonny's never said anything of the sort, okay? And he doesn't need to. Even if I were doing a job for Sonny, I know better than to get you involved. Carly: Okay, fine. You don't have to tell me about business, but just can you tell me how Sonny's doing? Shawn: He's in prison. Anything else? Carly: I know he's in prison. Can you tell me how he is? Okay? Has he been in any more fights? Is he showing any more bruises? I'm just really worried about him. Can you give me something? Please? Shawn: I'll give you this -- Sonny's blessings for you to move on. Carly: Yeah. I don't want to move on. I love Sonny, he loves me, and he doesn't have any right to tell me to stay away from him and to not come visit. Shawn: Just give it time, all right? It'll get easier. Carly: Easier? Easier? Easier knowing that Sonny's locked up and he's cut off from everyone he loves? Easier knowing that Sonny's a target for someone? No, it's not gonna get easier. I don't want it to get easier. And don't tell me it's for the best, okay? 'Cause it's not. Shawn: I wish I could help you, Carly -- Carly: Then help me. Sonny needs me. He does, you know? He has to let me visit him. Shawn: He's not gonna do that. Carly: He will if you talk to him -- if you tell him to. Shawn: Really? Are we talking about the same Sonny Corinthos? Carly: Okay, listen to me. Sonny needs me. You know that. I know that. Deep down, Sonny knows that. He's got to let me back in, Shawn. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Michael, are you there? You need to stay away from Luke. Michael: How do you know I've been anywhere near Luke? Sonny: You're both living at the Quartermaines', right? Michael: What, did you figure that out by yourself, huh? Or did Shawn report back to you? I caught your spy at a house on Elm Street. Sonny: You got to stay away from that house, too. Michael: Why the hell do you care about that house? What, you can stand the fact I'm opening up a clinic in AJ's memory? Trying to give -- give my father back his good name while you rot in Pentonville? Sonny: This has nothing to do with AJ. You need to promise me you're gonna stay away from Luke. Michael: You want a promise? Here's a promise -- if you call me again or you send one of your stooges after me again, I will call the warden. I will tell him that you've been contacting me using a contraband phone. That could land you in solitary, right? Right?! Sonny: Probably. Michael... is that what you want? Michael: I don't want anything from you. Enjoy your life sentence. [Door slams] Tracy: Whoa! Excuse me. What's the matter with you? Michael: Sonny called me. Fluke: What did he want? Michael: He wanted to talk about you. Elizabeth: So, I take it there's been no progress between Michael and his parents? Lucas: [Scoffs] Yeah, right. Think about it -- Michael was raised by two of the most stubborn people on the planet. Well, three, if you count Jason. He's got all their best qualities and all their worst qualities. He hides it better than Sonny and Carly, but the kid's got a temper from hell, and he's furious right now -- to the point where yesterday, I was actually trying to talk to him about Carly, and he told me to back off 'cause he couldn't handle being angry with one more person. Elizabeth: Well, honestly, I can't blame Michael. I mean, I can't even imagine the type of pain he's going through right now. It was bad enough that he lost A.J., And then, by the time Franco played that tape, he lost two more of his parents? Lucas: Well, there's no getting around what Sonny did. I mean, he killed somebody. But Carly was just trying to protect Michael. Elizabeth: I understand why Carly didn't tell Michael what Sonny did. She didn't want him to suffer the way she's suffering now, but I kind of feel like she should've been honest with her child. You know, but this is really none of my business, so... Lucas: No, that's fine. Go ahead. Say whatever you need to say. Elizabeth: [Sighs] Carly loves her kids. She would throw herself in front of a train for any one of them, but history has proven time and time again that her first loyalty is always to Sonny. Lucas: [Chuckles] Nothing I haven't heard before. Elizabeth: The only other person she has been more devoted to, other than Sonny, was Jason. Doctor! Lucas: What do we got? Hypothermic patient. Conscious but confused. B.P. Is 86 over 50. Heart rate of 52. Elizabeth: Oh, my God. Jake? Patrick: What's a phoenix, Sam? Sam: Do you see this dragon? It's supposed to have a partner -- a phoenix. Patrick: Okay. What is it? Is it a piece of art or something? Sam: No, I mean, there's no monetary value to it. Jason and I gave them to each other after we got married, during our first Christmas. I mean, the dragon was supposed to be Jason, and the phoenix was supposed to be me, and it was supposed to be for good luck. I know it sounds really hokey right now -- Patrick: No, it doesn't. It doesn't sound hokey. Sam: When Faison shot Jason and kicked him into the harbor, he had the phoenix on him. Patrick: Okay. How did you get it back? Sam: I actually went into the water to look for Jason. And I came up with the phoenix. And that's all that was left of Jason. It was the last thing he touched. So the phoenix is gone... because somebody took it. Elizabeth: Jake? Can you hear me? It's Elizabeth. I need you to talk to me. Lucas: Nurse, fluid warmer and thermal blanket machine, please. Elizabeth: Jake? Jason: Elizabeth? Elizabeth: Hey, yeah! It's me! Jason: Where am I? Elizabeth: You're -- you're in the E.R. At G.H. Jason: [Sighs] Don't tell Dr. O. Elizabeth: [Chuckles] Don't worry about her. We're gonna take good care of you, okay? Lucas: Jake, I'm Dr. Jones. Can you tell me what happened? Julian: What gives? Sonny: We've run into a little bit of trouble on the outside, you know? Julian: Why don't you put that away? Guard catches you with that thing, we lose our only unmonitored contact with the outside world. Sonny: I'm being very careful. You need to stop worrying, 'cause it's getting annoying. Julian: Here's the thing -- it's that we're locked up on the inside, our families are on the outside, exposed to that Luke imposter, so you're damn right I'm worried. And you should be, too. Sonny: I'm aware of the situation. And I tried to make Michael aware of it, also. But he wouldn't listen. Tracy: Why would Sonny warn you about Luke? Michael: Maybe the confinement is starting to get to him. Tracy: Well, he must have given you some reason. Michael: Something to do with the property I want to build the clinic on -- your childhood home. Fluke: What about it? Michael: I didn't stay on long enough for him to spell it out. I didn't want to give him an opening to start begging for another chance. Fluke: Well, how does Sonny know that the old fire trap is in play? Michael: Shawn probably told him. Yeah, I caught him poking around there the other day. Fluke: What? Michael: Shawn just let himself in. In fact, when I caught him, he was trying to break into the basement. Carly: I'm not asking you to betray Sonny. I'm just asking you to go to bat for me. Shawn: Look, Sonny and I have already talked about this. He's made the decision to cut you out of his life because he loves you. Carly: Oh, my God! Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous that is? "I love you, but, you know, stay away forever"? Shawn: Come on. You know it's more complicated than that. Carly: No, it's not. No, it's not. It's simple to me. Shawn: Carly, Sonny doesn't think he's ever gonna get out of Pentonville, and he may be right. But he doesn't want you growing old, just sitting around waiting for him. Carly: Well, it's not up to him. Shawn: Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But he is absolutely right about one thing. There's nothing more important than you having a shot at reconnecting with Michael. Carly: I agree with that, but I can only reconnect with Michael if I'm honest with Michael. And that's why I told Michael I love Sonny, I'll always love Sonny, even though Sonny refuses to see me. Shawn: Well, I don't think that's what he had in mind. Carly: I don't care. You know, Sonny isn't in charge of my life. And you make sure you tell him that. It's not necessary for us to feel this pain alone. We can be leaning on each other. Alexis: I'm sorry to interrupt. Enjoy. Shawn: What's this? Alexis: It's a restraining order. You're officially on legal notice to steer clear of my client. Shawn: What? And what client is this? Alexis: Michael Quartermaine. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: So you think somebody stole your phoenix? Sam: Well, remember last night, when we got out of the shower, I said that I heard a noise? Patrick: Yes, but we looked around, and nothing was missing. Sam: Except for the phoenix. I just didn't notice it, then. Patrick: Um... so, you think somebody broke in to your apartment while we were in the shower and stole your -- your phoenix? Sam: It's not here, right? Patrick: Yeah. Well, do you think you misplaced it, possibly? Sam: Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? The phoenix and the dragon -- they sit right here, right next to each other. They never move. Someone definitely came into the house and stole it. Patrick: Okay. Well, I guess that's a possibility, but why? Why would somebody break in to your apartment and steal your knickknack? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: I don't, um... what happened? Elizabeth: Paramedics said a cop found you out cold on the docks. Jason: Where? Elizabeth: Pier 54, where I ran into you yesterday. Did you stay out there all night? Jason: No, I didn't. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Hey, any sign of it. Patrick: No, but I found this. Sam: Ah. At least Danny will be thrilled. Patrick: Ok. Let's take one more pass at this. Sam: I'm telling you, don't bother. Somebody took it. Patrick: Well, maybe it was missing before last night. Maybe your mom or Molly took it or something. Sam: Nope. Nope. They don't come into this room. Patrick: What about the housekeeper. Sam: Even if any of those things happened, I'm still used to seeing the phoenix next to the dragon, and it's gone. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Even if any of those things happened, I'm still used to seeing the phoenix next to the dragon, and... it's gone. Patrick: Well, we weren't exactly paying a lot of attention last night. Sam: Well, that's true. Patrick: Look, even if it is stolen, which is possible, I think you should talk to Danny, talk to your mom, talk to Molly, mention it to the housekeeper. All right? Sam: You're right. I'm sorry. Patrick: Hey, enough of that. No apologies. Sam: No, I'm sorry for acting like a crazy person because I can't find some... knickknack. Patrick: You're not a crazy person. It obviously means a lot to you. And I would assume it's missing because it makes a lot more sense than somebody coming in here and stealing it. Sam: True. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: I -- I don't know what happened. Lucas: Well, given the extent of your exposure, it seems as though you spent most of the night outside last night. Do you remember seeing Elizabeth on the docks? Jason: Yeah. We talked. I left. Lucas: Okay. And do you remember what you did or where you went after that? Jason: I-I -- I must've gone back to the hotel. Elizabeth: Why did you go back to the docks? Jason: I don't know. Lucas: You seem to be having trouble focusing. Is there a problem with your vision? Jason: My head is killing me. Lucas: Okay. We'll get you something for that. Just rest for a moment, okay? Elizabeth: I'll be right back. Lucas: So what do I need to know to help this guy? Elizabeth: Jake was hit by a car last fall. He's had issues with his memory ever since. Lucas: Mm. It's possible this episode could be related to his T.B.I. I'm gonna order a consult. Elizabeth: Okay. I'll keep an eye on him. Lucas: Okay. Jordan: I thought that the Faison thing had been buried, that your friend, the director of the WSB, had taken care of all that. Anna: Yeah, Frisco. He did his best. But this is justice department jurisdiction now, and they've called me to DC to... to give a detailed account of my actions. Jordan: How bad is this? Anna: It's too hard to tell, really. It could go either way. It could be a simple meeting... or it could be a criminal indictment. Jordan: I'm sorry. Anna: I'm not. I did what I needed to do where Faison is concerned. But I realize this leaves you in a very difficult position. Jordan: You think? Anna: Yeah. Jordan: Yeah. I'm undercover, and the police commissioner has no idea that I'm working for his department. Anna: Well, Nathan and Dante, they are still detectives in good standing. They will protect you. Jordan: Look, I'm sure they're gonna try, okay? But their authority is limited. And mine? Well, it's nonexistent, really. I mean... I think it's best if, uh -- if I I just leave the party, you know? Anna: No, you can't. Please. You are the best chance we have to bring down the Corinthos organization. Jordan: I mean, what do you care, right? What do you care? By this time next week, you could be on your way to Leavenworth, right? Anna: A man I used to love... now runs organized crime in this city, and I cannot leave it like that. I need to make this right. You need to make this right. Please... can you please stay undercover? Jordan: [Breathes deeply] Okay, fine. I'll do it. On one condition. If things go against you in Washington, the one phone call you make is to me, okay? So I can get the hell out. Carly: What did you do to Michael? Shawn: Nothing. Carly: Then why did he take out a restraining order against you? Alexis: Because Shawn was stalking Michael. Shawn: That's a lie. Carly: Okay. You were keeping an eye on him for Sonny, right? Shawn: All I'm gonna say is, Michael's got the wrong idea. Alexis: Well, right or wrong, the court has spoken, so you are to stay 500 feet away from Michael, as well as the Elm Street property about to be acquired by ELQ. Carly: Whoa. What property? I don't understand. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: Look, this is a misunderstanding. Alexis: Do you deny stalking Michael? Shawn: You're damn straight. Alexis: Do you deny breaking and entering into the 603 Elm Street house? Shawn: Look, this is not the court of law, Counselor. I don't have to answer your questions. Alexis: Smart move. Really good move. Because you could've been busted for breaking and entering. [Cell phone rings] Carly: Oh. Sorry, got to take this. Hello? Elizabeth: Carly, it's Elizabeth. I thought you'd want to know Jake was just admitted to the ER. Fluke: Well, what was Shawn doing in there? I mean, I've been in that basement. There's nothing there but old furniture, spiders, and rats. Michael: All he said was that, as my friend, he's advising me to walk away so that he can do whatever he came there to do. Tracy: Which was what? Michael: I don't know. And at the time, I didn't care. I figured he was there to keep tabs on me for Sonny, so I sent him off. Fluke: Good for you. He's got no right going in there. That's private property. Tracy: Yeah, with a basement filled with old furniture that's unusable. Maybe it's irritating, maybe it's unlawful, but do you really need to get so upset? Fluke: I'm sorry, Spanky, but that's where I grew up. It's got nothing to do with Sonny and his thugs. Michael: Yeah. That's why I had Alexis petition the court for a restraining order. From now on, Shawn's not allowed near me or that house. Fluke: Well done. Michael: I'm glad you're pleased. Fluke: But maybe a restraining order isn't enough. Maybe we need something more to keep Corinthos from sending his people in there. Michael: How do you mean? Fluke: Well, maybe the house needs to be boarded up. Nobody needs to be in there, especially in the basement... not even you, Michael. Julian: You didn't share your theory about Bill Eckert with Michael, did you? Sonny: I didn't offer any details. I just, you know, told him to avoid Luke. Julian: What if Michael confronts him, okay? We can't afford to let this Luke imposter know how close we are to figuring out who he really is. Sonny: We may not even be close at all. It could just be a hunch. What are you talking about? Julian: Last night, you said you were close or you were working on a way to prove it. Sonny: I am. Julian: Okay. So what is it? I mean, how are we gonna know whether or not this Bill Eckert is our enemy? Michael: Why shouldn't I go into the basement? Fluke: Because it isn't safe. Michael: You were just down there the other day when Bobbie and I stopped by. Fluke: That's how I know it isn't safe. There's enough mold down there to inoculate Bangladesh. And the supports -- they're rotting through. We're lucky the whole house didn't fall in on us when we were there. Look, the more I think about this, the more certain I become that you should build your clinic somewhere else. Michael: Why would I do that? Fluke: Because I just told you -- the mold, the supports... Michael: Well, the house will be demo'D. The clinic is gonna be completely new structure. Fluke: There are better areas for your clinic than that old house. Michael: Not according to our real-estate agent. Look, Luke, if you have your own personal reasons to see the house remain standing, just say so. Michael: I'm trying to help you, Michael. Michael: Okay. Thank you. I'll consider what you're saying. Tracy: Luke... I know your feelings about that house are more complicated than you care to admit. Fluke: You know me too well. Tracy: Have you considered the possibility that maybe you should get out of Michael's way? Fluke: I'm not in his way. Why? Tracy: Luke, maybe there's more to be gained by tearing that house down than letting it stand. Fluke: How do you figure that? Tracy: Sweetheart, you're gonna have your memories of that place whether it's standing or gone. If Michael does something good with it, maybe that'll help exorcise the bad memories. Fluke: [Breathes deeply] Well, you may be right. But it isn't up to me. And it isn't up to Michael. Apparently, it's up to Bill Eckert. Sonny: This way, we know who we're dealing with. Julian: Okay. Now, don't get me wrong -- it's a good plan. But what if Shawn is caught? Sonny: Shawn's a professional. Julian: Okay. But he's not infallible. Sonny: If he makes one mistake, tips his hand in any way, Sam, Lucas, Danny, Alexis -- they all could pay the price. Sonny: So could Carly and Michael, Morgan... I know the risk. Julian: Exactly. Sonny: But our families are gonna be in more danger if we just sit back and let this bastard just have a free hand. He's got to be stopped, no? We're the only ones who can stop him. Do we agree on that? Do we agree on that? Julian: Fine. Let's just do it. Sonny: Want to make the call. Julian: Yeah. Alexis: Tell your boss to lay off of Michael. Having him tailed -- Shawn: I wasn't. Alexis: Oh, whatever it was you were doing, it's not helping. It's not scoring Sonny any points. In fact, the more he pushes Michael, the further he pushes him away. Shawn: Is this your advice as a lawyer? Alexis: No, it's my advice, period. Shawn: Well, you need to know, even if your client doesn't, that whatever Sonny was doing is in Michael's best interest. Alexis: It's in his best interest to have him tracked everywhere? Shawn: You and Michael simply don't understand the situation. [Cell phone rings] Alexis: Well, then enlighten me. What is it that you and Sonny know that Michael and I don't? Shawn: I got to take this call. Alexis: Of course you do. Shawn: Yeah, I'm glad you called. Alexis just hit me with a restraining order. If I get close to Michael, I'll be arrested. Sonny: Don't worry about Michael. We'll deal with him later. Shawn: Yeah, well, there's one other problem. I can't get close to that house on Elm Street, either. Sonny: It's okay. I got someplace else I want you to be. Carly: Jake! What the hell? Elizabeth: Dr. Jones, I should've known that Carly would've barged in like this. I apologize. Carly: Okay, now that Carly has barged in, Dr. Jones, can you tell me what's going on? Lucas: He's recovering from a bout of hypothermia. He was found unconscious on the docks this morning. Carly: I comp you a room in my hotel, and you sleep on the docks? Jason: Please don't take it personally. Carly: I do. What the hell happened? Jason: That's the $10,000 question. Lucas: He might've had a seizure last night. We're not sure. Could be related to your previous T.B.I. We do need to start ruling things out, so I'm gonna bring in a neurologist, okay? Jason: Mm-hmm. Thanks. Lucas: Take it easy on the guy, huh? Carly: How'd you get that cut on your head? Jason: I don't know. Carly: Okay. What do you remember? Jason: [Sighs] One minute, I was talking to Elizabeth. The next minute, there was a cop standing over me, waking me up. Carly: And you don't remember anything in between? I-I -- I do remember one thing. Patrick: As much as I want to find your phoenix, Sam... Sam: When you say it out loud like that, it really does sound ridiculous. Patrick: It's important to you, so it's important to me, but I got to get to work. Sam: You're late. Okay. Want to take a rain check for breakfast? Patrick: Yes, and I intend to collect. Sam: I intend to hold you to that. Patrick: Okay. Good. Hey, try not to worry too much about that phoenix, okay? Everything's got to be somewhere, right? Sam: Right. Patrick: Okay. Sam: Bye. Patrick: Talk to you later. Jason: I, um... I remember A... a figurine? Anna: Hey, look, thanks for seeing this through. Jordan: Well, you're very persuasive. Jordan: Well, actually, you're relentless, like A... pit bull with a British accent. Anna: All I want is to uphold the law. Jordan: Now all you have to do is convince the justice department, right? That's easy. Anna: Piece of cake. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I really respect you. I think you are an excellent officer. Jordan: My résumé might not be as extensive as yours, but... I know you're the best I've ever seen. Anna: [Sniffles] Jordan: Good luck. Anna: Oh, to both of us. Sonny: I can't be 100% sure, okay? But if I had to bet on it, who's taking us down, I'm pretty sure it's Bill Eckert. Shawn: I'm betting you're right. I heard there was a resemblance, but when I found some old photos online, Bill Eckert and Luke Spencer are identical. Well, unfortunately, every account I've turned up has Eckert being shot to death over 20 years ago. Sonny: Yeah, I know that's what was reported, but we need to find out if those accounts were mistaken. Shawn: Where you want me to get started? Sonny: We're gonna dig up the man's grave. Find out if Bill Eckert is dead and buried or if he could still be out there somewhere. Tracy: What does Bill Eckert have to do with that old house? He's dead. Fluke: Well, somehow, the title of it ended up in his name. Tracy: Well, so what? He can't take it with him. And Ned told me that his ex- wife, Jenny, bill's sister, is the executor of bill's estate. The house was not mentioned in the will. Sly, bill's son, inherited everything else, which makes him the de factor owner of the house. Fluke: Yeah, it sounds to me like there's gonna be an army of bloodsucking lawyers working for months in probate to figure it out. Tracy: Yeah, and it's gonna take a boatload of ELQ money. Ooh. I bet the board won't be pleased about that. Fluke: Dare to dream, darling. Tracy: I always do. So, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get on with my day. You know what? Maybe you're right. Maybe Michael should build his clinic someplace else. Fluke: From your mouth... Sonny: Shawn's on it. He's gonna exhume Bill Eckert's coffin. Julian: And if it's empty? Sonny: Well, then we know Bill Eckert lived. [Cell phone rings] Julian: Then you might want to tell Shawn the more he calls, the more likely we're gonna get caught with an illegal phone. This is not Shawn's number. Julian: Then who the hell is it? Fluke: I hear you've been talking about me. Sonny: You son of a bitch. Fluke: Is that any way to talk to an old friend? I also gather that you're not only talking smack about me but you and your new cellmate, Julian... have been plotting. That's a bad move, Corinthos. Haven't the two of you learned yet that there are consequences for stupidity? The sins of the father shall be revisited tenfold upon the sons. Patrick: Somebody call for a consult? Elizabeth: Yes, it's Jake. He was brought in a little while ago. It seems like he had some kind of an episode last night. Carly: Tell me about this figurine. Jason: Um... I think it was some kind of animal. Honestly, I don't know what the hell it was. It could've been a toy, for all I know. Carly: Can you describe it? No, wait. I bet it's in here. Sam: I'm ready. Sonny: You sure you're up for this? You're not too upset? Sam: I'm not upset. Jason is fine. I'm gonna find him. Sonny: Jason wouldn't want you to risk yourself. Sam: You can't talk me out of it, Sonny. I'm gonna find him. Sonny: Sam... good luck. Did you find anything? Carly: This is your bag, right? Jason: Yeah, I guess so. I had it on me when the paramedics found me. Carly: Okay. Jason: Find it? Find the figurine? Carly: No, I found this.
